Salam. I have discarded sunna about a half year ago and been sticking to quran alone ever since. I've come across Rashad Khalifa and listened to what he teached and wondering how you look upon his theory of " 19" im not totally sure whether he is a messenger or not . I incline to think he is but as i dont know arabic i dont want to take chances so i would like to know what your stance is ?
I think the point of Quranism is that whatever the Quran insists you do, you do, and whatever it insists you do not do, you don't do. Other than that, all things are optional. In other words, if you perform Salat a certain way, and the Quran does not specifically forbid that way, then it is permitted but not required that you do it that way. But you can if you like.
Wonderful website. A lot of helpful information here. I am sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious. And obviously, thank you in your effort!
I have my passport, vaccination, and serious intention for Hajj later this year. As I gravitate toward Quranism as my way of life, apparently I have to rely upon traditional Islamic sources to complete Hajj. I feel like I'm in a conundrum.

The last messenger was the Propeht Mohammad. If you're a Quranist the point is to not follow other human beings.
