I
Let me take this opportunity to Introduce myself I am Rahman from Dubai before even I started to think about leaving Islam forever i lacked confidence within me. I come from a very strict Islamic background as my fathers roots belong to the Mecca region in Saudi Arabia. for 30 years of my life I underwent torture of being governed under the strict Islamic laws. even talking to a girl or woman was considered as a sin as there were not much girls who were open minded during my teenage. over a period of time I grew up I learnt the Quran and starting reciting Surahs and Kalimahs from it just for the heck of it because of the pressure which was imposed on me from my family. one day I realized what if there is no god at all, what if all of this is fake as it is just a book. it wouldn't completely make sense as we have been following it from a long time with lack of evidence. I argued the same with my father who said I was possessed with a Jinn but the truth about me and my religion is "Nil" I started considering my religion a fake. my father used to work in the Municipality took me to the nearby mosque for a consultation from the Imams and big guys of that area(who were mostly shaikhs) the argument went in a heated manner as the Imam commanded my father to remove me from the family. normally this was done who had done a grave mistake(like adultery within family) after all I only questioned about my religion. and there I was sad and depressed standing in the middle of the street I went to my friend who afforded me food and shelter for a while I started looking for some jobs for a year later I got an opportunity to work in Johannesburg in South Africa after Six months I migrated there and felt happy as there were not many Muslims and felt peaceful here. this was the time before 5 years from now I became exmuslim the shahada which I used to recite "La ilaha illallah muhamadur rasulillah" meant nothing to me. I considered myself happy alone as I dint have anybody to tell me to pray at the time of prayer and nobody asked me to recite duahs and kalimahs which meant nothing to me I feel peaceful this way. Henceforth I wanted to be part of a community to share my thoughts on Islam-The Most Hated Religion in the world and need your help and support in doing this.
I thank you all for your support and encouragement honestly it was a great relief after getting rid of i-slam, prayers and the so called the Allah ideology. for the first time I realize that i am not the only one. guys you all rock and lets keep our posts rolling with a little bit of salt and pepper, and with a touch of Islamic blasphemy:)
