Salam O aliakum brother when we come to religion we can seek rational explanation of its components relative to its goal, but how can one seek explanation of the purpose itself. Reason is a tool to seek explanation of phenomena/purpose/goal/system etc. purpose of our creation as described by Quran i...

QBAL AND TAQDIR I by: Dr. Mansoor Alam Allama Iqbal has written so much about the concept of taqdir that it may require a complete book to fully explain and justify his views on this difficult issue. But in a nutshell he says: "The world of plants and animals is subject to taqdir. A Momin is su...

i quite agree with you that the teaching of Quran are not followed. the major reason i see is interpreting Quran in the light of Hadith literature, Which is full of contradiction and some time contrary to the teaching of Quran. objecting Hadith has become heresy.
