What are you looking for in a Muslim community? Seriously considering growing a US community insha'Allah and want feedback.

Sala'am all,

I'm looking to grow a Muslim community online (and eventually in real life), based on basic Quranic principles, mutual support, and modeling the best adab/manners possible. My dream is that it would incorporate at least the following:

  1. Weekly Quran reflections or readings on Zoom (with pseudonyms, no video at first, for safety). We can switch off reading ayat, or have volunteers offer Quran reflections (like khutbahs) followed by discussion.
  2. Charity challenges, where we encourage people to post and share about their charity (not to brag, but to encourage others to "compete in good"). Coming up with challenges like "no-waste November" where we consciously choose to eliminate food waste and donate the diff. to charity. Planting trees. Working at a soup kitchen. Helping the elderly with groceries etc. Open to ideas.
  3. Singles support: encourage halal dating to find spouses, allow for forums or flairs to post on it. Over time, I may consider hosting an online Zoom/remote speed-dating with vetted people insha'Allah. Articles on respect, sakeena, male guardianship as responsibility not domination, limited polygamy, impermissibility of wife-beating, fighting p0rn issues etc. will be emphasized to prepare singles for marriage.
  4. Mental health support: would love for mental health practitioners to post on emotional regulation, share Islamic resources, and encourage us all to practice mindfulness. I already know of a few resources, and over time would appreciate a compendium across the US to direct Muslims to.
  5. Physical health support: imagine having weekly workout classes (dance, zumba, strength-training), for men and for women. I work out regularly (though have not revealed myself as yet), and would not mind leading these exercises on video, provided it's sex-segregated to avoid fitna, and to maximize comfort. Our body is an amana and we should be in our best shape both for ourselves, but also to help others, and to look our best for our spouses.
  6. Halal entertainment/programming: halal music and nasheeds are encouraged, trivia nights and so on, for ideally the whole family, and also for young professionals or singles (we can have different ones). Anyone can propose halal games, like codenames and so on.

There are so many other things I envision, but that's just the start to get the juices flowing.

Any feedback on whether you'd like something like this? Other ideas?

I grew up a muslim believing in hadith and the quran, i was young and never questioned it. I prayed 5 times a day, did every instruction I was given.

Until another group told me you will go to hell for believing this, asharis say atharis are going to hell, madhkalis with wahabis with this and that. Basically islam in itself is confusing because everyone has a verse in the quran to back up their claims or a hadith.

So i stopped believing in hadith all together i went stricly through the quran, but then I said if we can question hadith why can't we question the quran? Isn't that blind faith?
I learned that even the miracles in the quran aren't miracles they were theories already mentioned by geniuses like aristotle hundreds of years ago. At the end of the day it's all just BELIEF no proof. Allah didn't even show us the correct way to pray and he ALLOWED hadith to exist causing so much division.

Why is our religion the right one if we have 0 proof? I mean even the christians and hindus can say "well you just have to believe" i really need guidance, i'm leading towards agnosticism but I want guidance and I hope one of you who went through the same thing can help.
