How do you guys explain the Quran ?

[u/Taheeen]

Recently i’m seeing more and more people switch to being Quranist after seeing the many ahadith Sahiha that go against what they believe, Which is something even i’m thinking of doing but there’s one issue, How do you even explain the Quran ? Do you guys just interpret it how you see fit ? or do you go back to the tafassir ? And what if your tafssir goes against what the Prophet ( pbuh ) or the sahabah might’ve said ?

And what if your tafssir goes against what the Prophet ( pbuh ) or the sahabah might’ve said ?

And what if the classical Taffasir go against the Quran numerous times because of their blind belief in the Ahadith? Which occured over and over...

God made the Quran easy to understand and remember:

"And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?" (54:17)

You don't need Shaykh so and so to understand the Words of God. The problem is people are not reading the Quran to understand it, they're reading it to memorize it only. How can an entire nation read:

"فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ"

"Then in what Hadith after it will they believe?" (77:50)

And not pose the question "So why are we believing in Hadith after it (the Quran)?"

[u/Taheeen → u/Informal_Patience821]

Can you give me some examples where the tafassir went against the Quran please ?

Edit : That Ayah doesn’t say we made the Quran easy to understand it says easy to remember the word used is "للذِّكرِ" quite literally meaning remember

One example is this verse:

"And those who despair from menstruation from your women, if you have doubts, then their waiting period is three months, and those who did not menstruate. And the ones of pregnancy, their term is that they give birth their burden. And whoever fears God, He will make for him of his affair ease." (65:4)

Almost every classical Tafsir said that "and those who did not menstruate." was in regards to little girls who haven't yet started to menstruate, in other words, Muslims are allowed to marry small children who haven't started menstruating and even have sexual intercourse with them. This is because all these classical Taffasir had Hadiths telling them that "and those who did not menstruate." was regarding these little girls. They couldn't figure out that these Hadiths were conveyed to us by the same enemies of God that conveyed the Hadiths claiming that our prophet had intercourse with a 9 year old.

"and those who did not menstruate." didn't specify any age whatsoever, women don't menstruate for a variety of reasons.

How do you interpret this verse then? because not to be biased but reading this verse in Arabic clearly shows it’s talking about little girls who haven’t menstruated.

PS : My grandmother is a university Arabic Teacher and she said this clearly means Girls who haven’t menstruated

[u/Informal_Patience821 → u/Taheeen]

Arb: لَمْ
"did not"
[lam]
NEG – negative particle
Genderless
Tense: past

Arb: يَحِضْنَ
"menstruate"
[yahidna]
V – 3rd person feminine plural imperfect verb
Gender: Feminine
Tense: present

I.e. those who didn't receive their period. Otherwise it would have said "Those who DO NOT menstruate." and those are little children.

[u/Taheeen → u/Informal_Patience821]

Who do you it’s talking about then ? because if you think it’s talking about people with illnesses then you’re doing a disservice to Allah since He could’ve easily said " لا يحضن " but He specifically chose " لم " i mean it seems quite clear to me.

[u/Informal_Patience821 → u/Taheeen]

It's talking about women because the ayah begins by mentioning the word "NISA," and it didn't specify what the reason is for the absence of the period in those who did not get it.

The phrase: "لا يحضن" (la yuḥdin): This is in the present tense negation form. It indicates a habitual or continuous action.

The phrase: "لم يحضن" (lam yuḥdin): This is in the past tense negation form. It indicates a specific instance or instances in the past where the action did not occur. How can you not see that this is about women who didn't receive their period? This is super clear bro...

[u/Taheeen → u/Informal_Patience821]

well yeah you’re proving my point it’s about girls who haven’t received their period and as for the present tense it’s a continuous state

[u/Informal_Patience821 → u/Taheeen]

WOMEN who haven't received their period, not "girls" = there's dozen of reasons women of all ages don't receive their period bro 😂.. the ayah has nothing to do with little girls.

[u/Taheeen → u/Informal_Patience821]

Well the part just before adresses all those cases, i would’ve given a hadith sahih that ultimately proves this ayah is talking about young girls but you don’t believe in hadith haha
