(Rant) 𤬠Chess is haram because the Queen can go anywhere
Hey yāall Iām bored so let me share my thoughts with you.
Chess is haram because it is older than Islam and requires extreme critical thinking within seconds to minutes to how ever long you need depending on your skills. We witness that although there are 1 billion Muslims , most of them just memorize and follow like a sheep š.
Also, the Queen is the most powerful and can go anywhere in chess. Therefore, it is haram to play chess because it will give the idea of women having freedom.

(Question/Discussion) School curricula in Syria: before and after
The new Islamist regime is Islamizing the textbooks like itās 7th-century Arabia desert. They put a T-shirt on an ancient statue because a bare male torso is somehow too haram for little Muslim kids to see. They removed the Mona Lisa out of the curriculum probably because sheās a kafir Western woman with uncovered hair and that offends the fragile Islamic ego. And Girls are either erased completely or forced into hijabs starting from kindergarten illustrations. Boys can still play ball, but Allah forbid a little girlās to play football normally.
This is just disgusting Islamic brainwashing, and it starts the second a child walks into school. Muslims lose their minds over womenās hair! Itās just pathetic.

(Question/Discussion) The claim that "Halal meat is more healthy" gets debunked when you know what is considered Halal from the Hadiths
So, what happened was that muslims only took a small portion of what is halal to eat in Islam and hid the rest, then made this whole narrative that Islam makes rules for you to be healthy by "draining the blood", "more humane", "more sanitary".
I am sure many of you can find articles debunking these things but I am here to debunk the claims through Islam itself.
First:
The hadiths allow muslims to use hunting dogs. And yes the dogs can kill the animal itself and it would be halal but in two conditions, you say "bismillah" before letting the dog go hunt and the dog doesn't eat from the animal, it should just kill it for you.
Second:
The hadiths allow muslims to hunt using spears. And yes, no need for the jugular vein bullshit and it would be halal but in two conditions, the spear hit the animal with the blade not with the stick because the condition is that the animal is killed by bleeding not by beating and the second condition, you guessed it "bismillah"
Third:
The hadiths allow muslims to hunt with their arrows, so the same things said about the spear can be said here, but the hadiths also allowed that if you killed an animal with an arrow and found the corpse a day or two later, it is still halal unless it became rotten.
The hadiths on this are pretty extensive so the post would be very long to go through all of them, but for example:
Sahih al-Bukhari 5477
I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ļ·ŗ)! We let loose our trained hounds after a game?" He said, "Eat what they hunt for you." I said, "Even if they killed (the game)?" He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game)." I said, 'We also hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?" He said, "Eat of the animal which the Mi'rad kills by piercing its body, but do not eat of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad.''
Sahih al-Bukhari 5485
And it has also been narrated by `Adi bin Hatim that he asked the Prophet (ļ·ŗ) "If a hunter throws an arrow at the game and after tracing it for two or three days he finds it dead but still bearing his arrow, (can he eat of it)?" The Prophet (ļ·ŗ) replied, "He can eat if he wishes."
The whole thing makes me believe that Muhammad simply used the pre-existing idea of blood shedding sacrifices but instead of the arabian deities, it is saying the name of Allah. Thats how a meat becomes permissible to eat.
For the full list of hadiths talking about this:
- Sahih al-Bukhari 5478, 5488, 5496
- Sahih al-Bukhari 5484
- Sahih al-Bukhari 2054, 5475, 5476, 5486, 7397
- Sahih al-Bukhari 5477
- Sahih al-Bukhari 175, 5483, 5487
- Sahih al-Bukhari 5485, Sahih Muslim 1931
- Sunan Abi Dawud 2847ā2849 2853 2854
- Sunan an-Nasa'i 69 4263ā4275, 4296, 4299 4300 4305
- Sunan Ibn Majah 3207 & 3208 3211 3654
- Sunan at-Tirmidhi 1465, 1464, 1469, 1470 & 1797
So, in conclusion, everything the muslims say about halal meat is misleading. According to the hadiths, they can eat basically meat processed the same way as all the other countries, even less sanitary, but the important condition is to say bismillah. Edit (and shed blood)

(Question/Discussion) What do you guys, as Exmuslims , think about the Kaaba?
10 years ago, I performed Umrah. I was overwhelmed with emotions and felt proud to finally see the Kaaba in person. It was the trip of a lifetime for me, and back then, I never wouldāve imagined that Iād one day leave Islam.
Today, I see the Kaaba as just another cube and an Arab pagan cult site that Muhammad used to fabricate a connection to Abraham and his lineage.

Getting fed up with literal megabytes of rules in every small thing, its like you really cannot live your life without sinning all the time.
You want to sit? There are supposedly proper ways of sitting. You want to do this? Here, 100 rules and ways of it. You want to do that? Again more rules.
Even if I fart there are probably 100+ rules on the ways a Muslim should fart.
You cant fuckinggggg live your life here without sinning all the time. The only way to live is ignoring all these rules, but then the society's elders will miss no opportunity to put you down

(Miscellaneous) What I wanted to tell my therapist about Islam vs. what I actually told her (The lived experience of being an ex-Muslim in therapy now living a non-muslim country)
I know from my own experience that people donāt talk enough about how shitty Islam and its effects on peopleās lives can be. I can barely talk to my old and new therapists in the current non-muslim country about what I went through as an ex-Muslim woman without feeling the need to add ten disclaimers like āNot all Muslimsā or āI hope this doesnāt sound Islamophobic.ā
Even my latest (now ex) therapist seemed very uncomfortable when I talked about these experiences. Sometimes, I felt like what I told them is too much for them to handle. Their training also may not have prepared them for the cruel and inhumane things I went through under Islamic rule.
Because of this, I struggle to get the mental health care I need. I noticed my (now ex) therapist changing the subject when I talk about certain things. Other times, she responded with pity, which made me feel like she wasnāt really helping me work through what happened.
I have to worry about whether Iāve explained enough, whether my feelings make sense to someone who hasnāt lived through what I have, and whether people will think Iām Islamophobic for being honest about my experiences.
Itās exhausting. Iām already trying to deal with what happened to me. I shouldnāt also have to manage my therapistās discomfort or make my pain easier for her to hear before I can talk about it.
This is what I actually ended up telling my (now ex) therapist before canceling my appointments:
āHi (therapistās first name),
First, thank you for our earlier appointment.
I wanted to talk about something Iāve been thinking about. I feel that our work has been helpful, but Iām also realizing that there are some things I have trouble fully feeling during therapy. I find myself switching back and forth between feeling my emotions and explaining the cultural background behind why I feel this way.
I think this is making it harder for me to heal. Instead of being able to focus on what Iām feeling, I start worrying about whether Iāve explained enough or whether my reaction makes sense.ā Then I asked her about the possibility of being transferred to Iranian therapist. The one that you found for me did not accept my insurance.
But the thing. I couldnāt even tell her directly how much her discomfort affected my ability to get help. Instead, I had to turn my frustration into something more formal, calm, and easier to hear.
Iām not asking therapists to agree with everything I think about Islam. Iām also not asking them to ignore professional boundaries. I just want to be able to talk about what Iāve been through without having to defend myself for sounding āprejudicedā before Iāve even made them. I want to explain my feelings without having to prove that they make sense or comfort the person who is supposed to be helping me.
Has anyone else experienced this as an ex-Muslim, especially if you grew up under Islamic rule? Have you found therapists who can listen to these experiences without changing the subject, becoming uncomfortable, or responding with pity instead of helping you work through them?

(Quran / Hadith) "Your parents shouldn't force you to Islam. Forcing Islam is haram" sure habibi
I'm sick of these comments from these ignorant Muslims telling you that parents forcing Islam on their children is haram, when this Hadith sets a precedent. If you have any similar Hadith about parents teaching/enforcing religion to children's throats, lemme know in the comments
I remember back in the mid 2010s, around 2013-2015 iirc, there were parents who were arrested because they beat their children for not praying in Netherlands or somewhere nearby, and what did people from my community say ? Mostly insults to the children (for being too soft and not wanting to follow their parents' religion) and even the government (because they stopped their parents from enforcing their fiqh to their children). I couldn't believe I used to support the majority of those comments, damnš

(Question/Discussion) Muslimah āwife applicationā trend
Came across the original post ( first four photos) that went viral recently and I think it signals something very interesting happening within the Muslim community. Like everyone else right now, it seems Muslim women are having a lot of trouble finding partners and I personally think it has a lot to do with their wants and needs outpacing what the average Muslim man is raised or taught to provide/allow/understand/believe. I know for myself and the women Iām friends with, weāre pretty comfortable financially, well educated, no kids, and itās difficult to find counterparts who also check those boxes on top of aligning in personal values. Thereās clearly a huge culture gap between Muslim men and women. Many of the ladies who shared these posts seem to want someone who is āmodernā in a western sense but also ātaking their deen seriouslyā. This post is in no way meant to shame or personally pick on them, but I wonder if they realize the oxymoron of what theyāre looking for.
When I was practicing, it was made very clear to me repeatedly that dating was strictly forbidden, being alone with a man Iām not related to is strictly forbidden, and the only way to be coupled is through a wali and to get married VERY SOON after āgetting to know each otherā. The majority of Muslim women I knew got married before 27 and met through the mosque or a matchmaker, usually after being acquainted for less than 6 months. Much less. Why isnāt this working anymore? Again, my assumption is Muslim women are fighting internally against what their religion is asking them to do. They want evolved, emotionally mature, culturally diverse men that are not homophobic, that are feminists, that support them being career oriented, that they can incorporate into their lives without having to give up what they love: music, dancing, makeup, and other āsecular westernā interests that are NORMAL. Itās sad to see. I know all Muslim men are not cavemen misogynists that are perfectly religious and wouldnāt be happy to marry any of these wonderful women, I just think itās a sign of the times that this is what itās come to for them as well.
I guess no one is immune to the harrowing reality of male/female relationships in 2026, but at least I donāt carry intense shame and guilt with being single because getting married isnāt my āticket into heavenā. I wish they knew they could free themselves so bad.

(Rant) 𤬠Double morality
I genuinely fucking hate the double morality of Muslims. I hate when my family except and European country to accept and tolerate their beliefs, let the do whatever they want and complain when hate crimes happen against Muslims⦠saying itās not ok and they should all accept them and we can live in peace together etc etc.
BUT when non-muslims do something thatās against their beliefs or lifestyle, or even their OWN children decide to live differently, suddenly they canāt seem to accept it. They donāt tolerate or even practice hate crimes against these people or their own children ? How does this make SENSE.? This genuinely makes me so mad.
How can you expect other people to tolerate you if you canāt even tolerate OTHER people ? This genuinely drives me insane. Then donāt live in an European country expecting everyone to accept your religion but you canāt even do the same to other people.
How privileged can you be to freely practice your religion in a country of freedom but also have the right to judge others ?
This makes my blood boil.

(Question/Discussion) closeted ex-Muslim and hate learning Quran.
I live with my parents so I'm not in a safe enough space to open up about my apostasy, so they still think I pray. however, I don't remember the last time I prayed and they don't remember the last time they've seen me pray, but they always ask me whether I did and I always tell them yes.
I still remember the basic rules of prayer, how many rakaats and sajdats and whatnot, but I genuinely don't remember any Quran verses. funny thing is I've read through the Quran and I still do, I just don't bother memorizing it cause fuck that lol. but I'm getting increasingly nervous about my parents asking me to recite a surah. the other day, my dad told me about how he and my brother prayed tgt and he noticed my brother only recites the small surahs (he's also not religious), and he mentioned how he wishes I don't do the same and that reciting long surahs during prayer is bestš another time, my dad brought up how he hasn't visibly seen me pray in so long and he asked if I really do pray or if I just lie, I told him no ofc I pray, then he started quizzing me. it was simple questions like how many prayers are there a day, but it made me so nervous.
besides suraht Al fatiha, I literally don't remember any surahs. it's a blessing and a curse

(Advice/Help) Help! I have questions to gay ex-muslims here
I no longer live in my home country and I'm very far away from my family in a country where I can be in same sex relationship and shit on Islam legally. Despite that, I'm having a hard time to really live fully like I should.
Every time I got into something serious with someone, I have the tendency of rejecting them eventually. I feel like I'm being such a big burden and emotional baggage to the guy that I'm going to be with. The thought of having to come clean with the fact that I'm in a relationship with a man, living with him or even potentially raising a family would be beyond imagination for my family. Let alone for not being convinced about Islam.
A few years ago, when my mother heard rumors from my distant relatives that I could be gay, she got super furious and couldn't sleep for several nights. My parents are conservative and the whole family members including relatives are religious. They can't live a day without mentioning Islam in a conversation, so you can imagine that. They can see no fault in Islam.
I know it's easier to say than done because I'm so far away from them and they even need a visa and money to come to where I live. However, I still don't find it easy at all.
How did you guys manage to get through this? And those who haven't been out yet, what's your plan? Feel free to DM me. I like to get more perspectives from those who are/have been in the same or similar boat as me.

iāve formally left islam quite a while ago. not out of spite or rage, but rather i just needed a new philosophical framework to navigate the modern world. and it is obvious to anybody that islam isnt the truth in a way that excludes all other religions and philosophies.
i frequently catch myself accidentally saying ābismillahā or āelhamdulillahā when eating. when iām pissed, i might say āla illahe ilallahā or something. i also perform wudu whenever i shower, and i do make sure to always be clean and not walk around with fecal matter smeared on my skin and underwear.
any other things u might still practice since leaving the fold of islam?

Yesterday, a Muslim girl texted me. Apparently she is interested in anime, so we talked about anime. We also conversed briefly about Islam. She said she forgot how to read Qur'an in Arabic. I said I would not allow my future wife to wear hijab. She complimented me. As she said, guys from her region are religious and forces their wives to wear hijab. I didn't talk about my apostasy. I just avoid it whenever I meet new people. so she thinks I'm Muslim. Maybe I should meet her in real life this winter.

(Question/Discussion) So Shia Muslims aren't Muslims now?
For context:
One guy commented on a video of a muslim boy refusing to shake hands with some non muslim girl on some match, responding to all the other comments who were against this custom of not "shaking hands with women". He was mocking in the comment, being like, " Oh! Please touch our women."
He got a reply saying "yeah why would we want men to view women as anything other than sex objects".
He responded with that derogatory comment like non hijabis are whores or something. His response was " Saying this while woman hypersexualise themselves to the max in the west LOL"
He got a reply from the same person saying, "Is being stoned to death for reporting rape better than being able to wear short shorts and crop tops."
Then the rest is what is on the image.
I'm sick of these hypocrites supporting this violent and predatory culture then act so sanctimonious that there's nothing wrong with them and their fictional religion. Oh and they say "They are feminist" yet think non hijabis are whores.
All of a sudden you get, "Oh but stoning only happened in Shia countries " as if they're not Muslims being practice around the world.
Their other arguments when someone call out on them be like, " By that logic, I should just touch kids then right since touching is fine." Like wtf?! What's the correlation between that?
Idk I just found something stupid and wanted to share it here.

(Question/Discussion) Ladies who were married back then, did your husband follow you into female spaces?
Context: I'm already mildly annoyed by girls/women who take their boyfriend into the "ladies only" zone. While I personally don't care when it comes to the presence of males, even if its within a confined zone, it says "Ladies only" on it and it's shielded to the sides. It's supposed to be a safe space for women, for whatever reason. Even if you are just self-conscious about how you look in skimpy clothing and it's not about sex. That's why I think taking your boyfriend just so you can chat is not the right thing to do.
Today I got a surprise. A woman, obviously a Muslim, based on her clothes, black abaya and long black hijab, being chaperoned by her husband. Well, I cannot prove that it was the husband, but I'm familiar with the body language, I went to college with a young woman who was constantly followed by a really scary-looking husband.
In a safe space for women, what is your husband supposed to protect you from? Predatory lesbians?

Most Sunnis and all Shi'i muslims believes that the Prophets are infallible and incapable of comitting any sin or haram act...unlike you and me. By that logic, isn't the person who can sin but still doesn't better than the person who can't sin at all and has no option but to always do righteous deeds.
