[quote]safimera - Thank you very much for your welcome.  You are indeed correct, in that there are some aspects of my study of Islam that depress and upset when reading of the different scholar's interpretations, but I try my best to see these times as an opportunity for learning and understanding rather than bias or anger toward one school of thought over another.  I try to keep in mind that these people are trying to serve Allah, not purposefully cause strife within the community (though unfortunately that seems to be the result sometimes).

[quote] so stick to this principle and read and explore the Quran as this is the only book in history which is still same from the time of its origin. [/quote]

Ah, and that is one of the true beauties and treasures of Islam, the preservation of the Word of God exactly as it was stated.  Even the Christian Bible, if printed in two editions from the same publisher, will contain hundreds of changes between the two as edited by Man.  There is great peace and respect for knowing that I am reading the exact words and phrasings as intended (I'm also trying to learn Arabic so that I may read the true original work).

saba2 - Salam and thank you as well, it is good to know that I may ask questions, as I am sure I will have many! I only hope that my naive inquiries don't upset anyone.  I will be sure to read the thread that you mentioned; thank you for the invitation.

Thank you everyone again for the welcome![/quote]
