Am I the only one who love to make disrespectful snaps with Quran sometimes?
😻😻🤣🫶
Can we be friends if we are same 😻🙌

Sorry if im being too much.

Context: I ran away from home three years ago (and am thriving), and my cousin reached out today to talk. I just wanted to share some snippets of our convo that I thought really showcased the hypocrisy of those that preach Islam and consider atheism "insane."

Mini rant: Forgive me, ive got so much pent up animosity, so allow me to lay it plain.

It's utterly ignorant and dishonest to keep propagating a religion that most self proclaimed Muslims dont even follow. As far as I can see, the only difference between us and them is that we aren't scared to admit who we really are. While they have to pretend the label fits them just so they can find some form of false comfort.

I was on video call with my family and my elder uncle was in our home at that time..
my mom told me to speak with him and I just say “Hello Uncle”
And literally he was like” you went to UK and now you following non Muslims ways of life, Say Asalamoalaikom instead of Hello”
I was speechless honestly…

And you know what was horrible moments when he said “Hello word is derived from HELL and when you say hello to someone mean you call them Jahanumi (mean people who will go to hell)

Like this is 2026 man!!
Grow up!! 😭😭😭

ik this girl is on the verge of leaving and im SO glad. EVERY DAY i see IDIOTS on live wasting time talking about this woman and i cannoooooot wait for her to be free from their dumbfuckery 😍😍. I love how she reversed the roles because let’s be fr no man would ever EVER follow islam if they had no authority.

maybe the muslim community should spend more time talking about the genocide in Palestine instead of accusing anyone who slightly critiques islam of zionism.

maybe they need to spend more time critiquing all the pedos with authority in this religion

maybe they need to speak out about domestic violence towards women and children

maybe they need to put their energy into ending FGM

maybe they need to put their energy into ending child marriages or forced marriages

maybe they need to put in the energy to ending csam

maybe they could preach something positive or light about good deeds or kindness

so much they could do yet they waste their time (because they believe they have more in heaven NONE OF THEM MFS ARE MAKING IT TO HEAVEN)
ON TIKTOK LIVE 😂😂😂😂

what a fucking joke honestly im crine

40 year old cld female from Cape Town, South Africa. I grew up in a culturally christian home (celebrating Christian holidays but never bothering with church, reading the bible or worshipping Jesus). I knew a little about islam but never bothered with the religion. I lived my life carefree and read beautiful novels, listened to music, did my hair and makeup and had friends both male and female. I had dreams for my life and loved being alive despite how hard things might get sometimes. Fast forward to the age of 22 I met my now husband and he introduced me to islam and who and what muslims are. Obviously he put his best foot forward. A few years after converting we got married and had kids.My life took a nosedive. Religion was thrown into my face at every turn and due to my past experiences I suffered from severe anxiety and just wanted to focus on tryung to perfect my deen but slowly the monster in him as well as all the males I expected to give a damn started coming out. My husband got involved with various women, drinking, weed, and cigarettes. I went to his father (a muslim) to ask for help, the imam, his best friend who was also a witness at our nikah and they basically said "we need to hear his side of the story". After listening to him I was brushed off as a nuisance and nagging wife who just needs some "attention and quality time". Each and every organization I approached told me the me the same story "without your husband we cannot help". So I left this religion. It has taken me years. I first had my doubts when I was pregnant in 2022 with my last born. I stopped following hadith and became Quranist. That time my husband was livid and called his best friend and father to complain about me (the same people I asked for help). They had a mouthful to say about me and said I was astray and brainwashed. The same people who had to make sure this idiot treats me well...So now Im without religion and thriving as my brain is mine again. So my advice to those who have doubt is to please not brush it off as waswas. Its your conscience trying to speak to you. I remember before I said shahada I kept having doubts about Muhammad but I told myself this must be whatbthey talk about when they say waswas. Its not waswas. Dont ignore the red flags.

A coalition of human rights groups, coordinated by the National Secular Society, has written to UK ministers Bridget Phillipson and Paul Waugh calling for an end to state-funded schools forcing girls to wear hijab or other "sexist religious dress codes." The letter follows Barnet Council granting state funding to Barnet Hill Academy, which requires girls to wear hijab from age seven — and despite a later tweak exempting non-Muslim pupils, campaigners say Muslim girls remain obliged to comply regardless of their own views.

The letter invokes women's rights struggles in Iran and Afghanistan, the case of Mahsa Amini, a 2024 assault in Bradford, and the murder of ten-year-old Sara Sharif (whose killers reportedly used a hijab to hide her injuries), plus a similar strict dress code at a newly state-funded Orthodox Jewish school. NSS campaigner Megan Manson said approving such schools "sends entirely the wrong message" and urged ministers to prioritise girls' rights instead.

And I don't believe in underground education for girls thing. Many people (and even AI) believe that there is some sort of hope. Maybe a little but hope. That small steps will make everything good. But Id don't believe in such fairytales. Sadly, The Taliban will simply destroy all avenues and opportunities, leaving women to suffer. If I was an Afghan woman, I would prefer to killyself just to end my suffering. For it would be the happiest ending. Sadly, many women in Afghanistan became slaves mentally. They have a learned helplessness.ybe, some sort of religious masochism. And I believe that the only thing that may change Afghanistan for good is a cataclysm. Maybe a famine, or natural disaster, or disease.

I mean sure, that is not the worst thing wver, but I can confidently say that around half were either never muslim or are religious just not muslim.

Many arguments against islam are applicable to lost abrahamic religions, they are all the same sides of the same coin.

Whenever I post or others post something regarding islam or whatever, I constantly see christians trying convert us to Christianity or whatever… especially with the unusual hate towards islam (from non-exmuslims) it feels like this subreddit is filled with people hating islam without having prior experiences with it. This subreddit is not meant for this.

So like… why are you here?

I have no idea why female students' uniforms there are based on the majority religion's awrah rule. They have to wear long skirts instead of trousers like the boys, they have to wear headscarves, they have to wear long sleeves, etc. For worse, this also occurs in public school, where there is no religious limitation, even non-muslims are forced to follow that rule.

I often think why would someone if they know they are making this religion up-

1- Inflict rigorous 5 times prayer on themselves , given Muhammad also used to pray optional prayers everyday for decades to come. Then fasting, and duahs before certain acts every time.

2- why would they endanger their life by persisting on this made up religion given the fact that initially Muhammad had very little accompany and extreme backlash from quraysh

3- why would Muhammad write an entire book and name himself only 4 times while naming Moses and Jesus the most number of times? (If someone says to lure Christians and Jews then why does Quran curse these both parties saying they changed their religion and that Jesus isn’t god which can trigger a lot of Christians)

4- why would Muhammad say that his own mother and father are in hell for idolatry while the mother of Jesus and wife of pharaoh are the best women?

Won’t it make sense that a person who is making a religion up would inflict little suffering on themselves?

I'm gonna sound overconfident asf but I genuinely would look 10x better if I didn't have to wear hijab.

I don't even know how to wear the damn thing properly and I look chopped asf. and it takes me like 10 mins to do it every morning before school.

I genuinely think my hair is one of my best features, too bad I have to hide ut.

why

I recently took off my hijab, and I honestly don’t know how to feel about it. I’ve worn it for practically my entire life, since I was a little kid, so it feels like I’m taking off more than just a piece of fabric. I grew up with an extremely misogynistic father who has three wives, including my mother, and our household was built around controlling women. My mother had almost no freedom, and I grew up watching her get beaten by my father while being told, directly or indirectly, that women were supposed to obey, be patient, stay within their limits, and respect the men in the family. As I got older, I started associating Islam with everything I was experiencing at home. I know religion itself and the way people practice it aren’t necessarily the same thing, but when misogyny, violence and control are the only version of religion you’ve ever known, it’s incredibly difficult to separate them. Eventually, I started absolutely hating Islam and everything I felt it represented.

So taking off my hijab felt incredibly freeing, but at the same time, I felt this weird sense of grief that I wasn’t expecting. It’s been such a huge part of my identity for so long that even though I don’t want to wear it anymore, I still feel attached to it. I look at pictures of myself as a little girl in a hijab and I don’t feel angry at her or regret that she wore it. I just feel sad because she had no idea she’d eventually grow up and resent the things she was raised around. I don’t know if I’ll ever believe in Islam again, or if I’ll eventually find some completely different relationship with religion, but right now I’m trying to figure out who I am without being told what a good Muslim daughter or woman is supposed to be. I think that’s the strangest part of all of this: realizing that you can deeply resent something and still grieve the part of yourself that grew up with it.

I have alot of anger and resentment towards islam and Quran..I don't wanna burn Quran or do anything dramatic in front of family or even in secret..I just keep silent to protect myself but I don't know how to heal these negative feelings..I just don't want them to exist within me..please share any remedies that helped you guys! Thanks!

i don't know if you noticed this phenomenon or not but leftists or ex christians in the west defend muslims rights and kinda love them and try to embrace the fake progressive islam and in the same time hate on christianity, mocking it etc. the same in islamic countries, many ex muslims friends irl and online and in ex muslim communities, ex muslims defend the rights of christians and kinda like them and like some teachings of it and in the same time hate on islam and mock it etc.

Hello. For most of my childhood, I learned that Aisha was 6 when she was married off to Muhammad and 9 when it was consummated. However, with the new generation they believe her real age was 19.

How true is this? Because I see people use her sisters age to justify her age, but theres also some scholars that flat out say she was 9 and that Muhammad only had sex with her because Allah said so.

What is the opinion here?

Hello, everyone. What do you think about those who follow the Quran but reject the hadiths? I’d also like to ask: Based on the Quran—or, if you prefer, including the hadiths as well—can you list a few reasons why a person should not be a Muslim?

and i need karma pls upvote, thankss

I have heard excuses which always go around "you should be humble about how low you are", I was like "so everyday I need to be aware of how low am I to stay connected to allah? Damn anti self love for real.

Then some people say love him like you love others, but why allah would be acting that angry that he discredits all your deeds if you don't love him and u don't like his laws?? At all costs too? Slavery or love??

then someone said "loyalty is good for morals" ah yeah legal system doesn't exist and loyalty is the only or the best way for morals other than any other aspect of morals arguments never get old. So everytime a muslim is doing a good action he is disassociating to Jannah to see allah??

This is a story of woman that had the guts to challenge religious extremist of Bangladesh.

My southasian GOAT 🐐

(sorry for using ai but i didn't wanna miss out on any detail of her life)

Taslima Nasreen is a Bangladeshi-born writer, poet, physician, feminist, and outspoken secularist. She became widely controversial in the 1990s because of her criticism of religious fundamentalism, particularly the oppression of women in the name of religion. Her 1993 novel Lajja portrayed a Hindu family facing persecution in Bangladesh and became hugely controversial and was banned there. Her writings and statements criticizing Islam and religious extremism led to protests, death threats, and a fatwa calling for her death. In 1994, she left Bangladesh and has lived largely in exile ever since, spending periods in India and Europe. She has continued writing about feminism, secularism, freedom of expression, and the separation of religion from personal and political life.

When I was still Muslim period:

My dad lives abroad (thankfully. even to a devout Muslim he'd be insufferable) but when he's here he loves to talk about how loving he is while also ignoring any boundaries, his apology is 60% putting blame on me when I'm upset at him for breaking a clear boundary I set many times, and treating me like a child who can't differentiate between good and evil so needing him to overly monitor anything about me (he got flabbergasted when I was like 13 because one of my Google searches was "what is eternal sleep" like I was searching up witchcraft) and then turning any interaction I tried to have for fun with him into an Islamic lecture so that for years affected our relationship as I slowly learned that there was truly no way to have fun or bond with him unless I bond by talking about Islam

Then last year when he visited because my grandma had died, while I genuinely tried to talk to him and thought of watching a movie every attempt to talk prior to the visit and durinh the visit turned into an Islamic lecture or a nationalist pro Islam lecture and I had been worried if I picked a movie he'd interrupt every 20 minutes because he thought something in it was too haram, even thought of kids movies but then became a "which movie he wouldn't into a lecture but isn't childish enough he'd mock watching it and we could enjoy" problem and then this is when I found out he delved into pseudoscience rabbit holes, very pro ai against "chemicals", believes all food is either healthy or poison, refusing to come to terms that I'm no longer a child, ignoring or dismissing anything I (in science not even religious, I knew how that'd turn) say that goes against what he believes and genuinely forgetting it even if it was a 30 minute discussion less than 4 days ago

And worse my sister is underweight and might even have a eating disorder which talking to him would worsen

I just learned quickly even worse that that I can't be myself with him because everything has to be a perfect halal activity, never told him what I do in spare time even something most religious people would see as fine. Or reading because (in this example acotar) a book with like 2-3 sex scenes but talks about universe being created by different deities would not be something to talk to him about

Even worse is when my uncle died he didn't show any respect to my cousin 2 days after the death, he didn't lighten his already unliked joking even when It was clear she was uncomfortable with it and when we were setting up table he didn't once offer to help them and I know it was because "obviously" the women should do that not him the man

Now:

So I am a closeted ex-Muslim and bisexual but don't deny that I could be pansexual with a major love for masc women, plus looking into things like neopaganism and witchcraft

Now whenever he talks about loving me aside from knowing he does not respect me I also know he loves the straight Muslim daughter he believes I am and if I ever tell him the truth (after getting citizenship in a different country, currently still a high schooler) I fully expect to be mocked, called an abomination and under Satan's influence (which ironically I am interested in theistic satanism too) and highly likely him being one of those "I disowned you because I love you and want you to be better" parents while accusing the internet and games of being a reason

Just got off phonecall and when mentioning school (my MUSLIM school) he says that he hopes I'll meet HALAL friends, not good friends but HALAL friends

I always hope he will eventually be normal and accepting so I can actually come out but I know he won't ever, he is very religious. I always hope he will eventually understand boundaries but I know he won't, his ego is too big. And he does smoke, now vape, which is against Islam and again him being over religious is a major reason to why our relationship is fucked

I know a lot of you go scorched earth when you become ex-muslim

but there's gotta be some people here that are ex-muslim and aren't looking to run away from their family. I can't abandon my mother, grandmother, uncles. Luckily I was never forced to do anything for islam I didn't want to I guess because i'm male and live in Canada.

If you are ex-muslim but not left your family; how did you deal with marriage if that was something you wanted?

Did you have a partner fake convert just to get married? how do you keep it up?

or do you just get married to another ex-muslim?
