Quran is fairly small in size, it's not that big at all. I just haven't read it all in a language I understand

How do you reconcile this comment:

In my heart of hearts ive always accepted that Islam is perfect in every aspect and if i couldnt understand something it was due to my follies and not my diins.

With the fact that you haven't fully read the main holy text of Islam? Don't mean to put you on the spot bro, but it's something that's always intrigued me when people say that.

This was actually my reason for reading it.

I understand like 25% due to an arabic course i followed

I read it in arabic and swedish, before I go to bed iyo salaada subax kadib, a couple of pages. Hada waxaan marinayaa Kahf.
Ramadaan kastana waxaan ku dhameeya af-carabi.

As it should be

Shirib, blind faith?

keyblade,

No, what i do know has convinced me plenty

Fair enough

I tried in Somali/English.It felt awkward and weird and i doubt i understood much of it.It was not the whole Quran.

I couldn't find anything about mandatory hijabs, beards, or circumcision among other things.

Well, I know hijab's in there. I don't remember coming across the others.

Perhaps you should take a look into the books of Hadeeths.

Nope, there are only some verses endorsing 'modesty' for both men and women but it is never explicitly stated that veils or beards are mandatory.

The hadeeths were written/corrupted several hundreds of years later somewhere in Central Asia. The Quran should be the primary source.

^^ Quran is the primary source, but you can't just leave the hadiths behind, they play a very important role in Islam

Yeah, waana kii Rasuulku(SCW) yidhi diintu waxay u kala bixi doonta 73 firqo, ee waxaan idinku ogahay "quraanka iyo sunadayda" ee gows dambeedyada ku qabsada.

Al-Ahzab 33:59

An-Nur 24:31

I'm doubting you actually read it.

Nope, wrong.

There is something about this topic that i can't quiet put my finger on it.
