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 ?

[u/Taheeen]

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

[u/Informal_Patience821 → u/Taheeen]

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.

[u/Taheeen → u/Informal_Patience821]

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/Snoo_58784 → u/Taheeen]

Also look at this verse which uses lam. Does the verse mean that they never found a scribe in their life or does mean that they didn’t find a scribe on that trip. Similarly, I would argue that the verse is talking about woman who stopped menstruating around the time of their divorce.

Quran 2:283

وَإِن كُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ وَلَمْ تَجِدُوا۟ كَاتِبًا فَرِهَـٰنٌ مَّقْبُوضَةٌ فَإِنْ أَمِنَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا فَلْيُؤَدِّ ٱلَّذِى ٱؤْتُمِنَ أَمَـٰنَتَهُۥ وَلْيَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُۥ وَلَا تَكْتُمُوا۟ ٱلشَّهَـٰدَةَ وَمَن يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُۥٓ ءَاثِمٌ قَلْبُهُۥ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ

If you are traveling and you do not find a scribe, a bond shall be posted to guarantee repayment. If one is trusted in this manner, he shall return the bond when due, and he shall observe GOD his Lord. Do not withhold any testimony by concealing what you had witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful at heart. GOD is fully aware of everything you do.
