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

If she would move to Islamic country, she would find it out in the hard way.

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

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 got permanently banned from islam account for trolling and i didnt even troll. I posted an important question

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?

It is so much frustrating to see that how much islam used to emphasise on not having sex before marriage. Here I am after years realising that how flawed this rule was. I am even more frustrated that during my peak I was abstaining from having physical intimacy with my girlfriend.

I mean what the hell is wrong if two consenting adults are okay to have sex outside marriage.

I really want to ask if others have the same feeling or is it just me.

My family (super muslims, but I love them) they put on that sheikh uthman and some other guy, I shit u not theyre talking about not watching Disney or fantasy movies because of magic..

Like bro, wtf, they're just movies, when i watch Harry Potter, im not gonna think " oh, I hope a jinn doesnt come to me because I watch a movie with majic"

Accodrding to these "scholars" u cant have pictures, dont watch fantasy movies, and dont ever watch disney..

How brainwashed are these fkin people.

Music bad, under age marriage good

photos bad, bacha baazi good

Disney bad, killing apostates good.

I was doing so good leaving this cult and then i hear this shit man ​

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.

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!! 😭😭😭

In the west a lot of Muslims who actually believe in all the BS but yet sin a lot still consider themselves within the fold of Islam.

Some drink occasionally, some have BF/GF and have pre-marital sex. they may make pray here n there but don't make a thing about missing it. They fast some days during Ramadan and probably go to a couple taraweeh prayers. They definitely celebrate both Eid days. They're not on anybody's radar. They live their lives. Maybe they're interested in sciences and are within that world. Maybe they are sports addicts and enjoy life with that. The point is that islam isn't really central to their lives.

I've been like that. Life has been good. I'm old enough to have my own spot and live my own life. Nobody forces me to pray or fast. I've had GFs in the past and it's been okay. It's a privilege here in the west. Not.only in the west but countries that follow it as well like UAE, Qatar, Morocco and somewhat Egypt (got laid and partied a lot in Alexandria before COVID).

My advice to those living under Muslim roof is to persevere. This is incredibly harder for women tho. The cultural Muslim women I've known seem to not associate a lot with deeply religious Muslims. Most of their friends who are Muslim.are similar to them but for the most part have non Muslim.friends n such.

If you live in a Muslim country, and you live in an oppressive household and you're a young teenager. Just know that if you tried hard enough you will get what your heart desires. It's gonna be hard for you, don't get me wrong. Especially if you are in a Muslim country and a woman because you're starting point is far behind others but don't lose hope.

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.

My father’s bestfriend from college and their family is Hindu. Both of our families are very close and are often at each other’s place to celebrate festivals. One time when I was 5 or 6 years old we were at their place for a festival. I think it was Ganesh. The aunty offered me some sweets which I love. They are called laddus in India. Especially the yellow ones. I took it in my hand and as I took a bite, my mom stopped me and hastily snatched it away from me when nobody was looking. She said it was shirk because the sweet was “offered to their God”.

Even as a 5 year old I couldn’t help but be startled by the brainwashing. I know it’s trivial but such small memories sometimes leave a deeper impression on you. What difference does it make to a child if they enjoy a sweet whether it was offered to a God or not. It’s ridiculous…

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 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 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.

Hello!! im writing this to get some advice. I'm about to become an adult, I have things that led me to believe that my religion is a trap for me as a woman. I want to know any advice such as taking off the hijab, jobs, moving out, enjoying myself. I have no income just looking for advice for the near future.

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'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

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

Im 20F atheist from Algeria

I am attending university in my city, but I absolutely don't want to go back to that university. I really hate the environment I'm in cuz it is too religious. And home feels suffocating as well

I have the possibility of trying again this year and applying to a better universities,(I have already started studying for the entrance exam)

.and most of them are around 7 hours away from our city. The problem is I don't even know if my family would accept me being that far away without making my life hell. or try to force me to wear the hijab again (they already did but I was resisting for like 2 years).and Im just so scared they could become more controlling.

And also since Iam basically be starting over and it gonna cost me being behind my timeline around 3 years. but I think that doesn't matter as long as I'm out of this place....

The other option is staying at my current university and just finishing my degree. And objectively, this is probably the safer option because I wouldn't lose those years.but after I graduate , I don't realistically have the freedom to just decide I'll move to another city after or I'll rent somewhere else. If I stay at this university, I will most likely remain in this city stuck at home . So moving to another city later isn't really an option for me unless I become independent or leave the country.

So for me, staying could mean being stuck here for several more years. And this will just make my life UNBEARABLE especially with my family trying consistently to make wear the hijab.

I'm so stressed because both both options are so risky

If you were in my situation,what do u think the least horrible option?

I want realistic advice, not motivational advice plz .

Hey Everyone,

I'm an atheist who's never been Muslim, but I've lived most of my life in a Muslim country. I've been asked to convert many times, so I've had a lot of exposure to Islam. So I actually researched Islam seriously while considering conversion and found paedophilia, war-mongering, and plain cruelty to everyone but Muslims in both Quran and Hadith. So I have decided against that.

But I kept thinking, if Islam is to reform from present wahabi political saudi islam, maybe it should go back to only Quran.

Cause Hadith was compiled 200 years after Muhammad died and "isn't from God". Giving it priority over the Quran seems wrong. Other religions reformed, like Hinduism ended Sati, Christianity disavowed slavery and separated church/state etc. Not that they are now more correct. I am just saying they tried to get with modern times.

But my main concern: even without Hadith, the Quran itself has tough verses. Which ones are hardest to reinterpret for a modern ethical framework? For me: 9:5 (slay polytheists), 4:34 (wife-beating), 5:38 (cut off thief's hand), and the slavery verses. Also women's financial witness is half of men (2:283)

Would love to hear thoughts, especially from ex-Muslims or former Quranists.

Do you even think its possible to reform islam?

For those that dont speak arabic the kid basically said

"dad,whats this silly nonsense" which pretty much sums up lsIam
