Hello you lovely bunch of human beings!
OP - August 15, 2012, 04:08 AM

I found this place after lurking on reddit.com/r/exmuslim for a while and I just wish I had found it earlier.

Here's my story if anyone's interested; I only began properly doubting Islam about two years ago. However someone I knew had died a few months after I started doubting it and after going to their muslim funeral I got very emotional and I prayed to Allah to forgive me for questioning him.
Then fast forward to when ramadan finished last year I started doubting myself once again before realising the only reason I had asked Allah to forgive me was because I was far too emotional and unsurprisingly not thinking straight when it happened. I just wanted the comfort of knowing that the person's 'soul' was still alive and would 'inshallah' go to heaven. But yeah I declared myself an atheist on December, which felt mentally refreshing and I acted giddy for about twenty minutes telling myself I was silly for believing in it for so long to begin with.

The bad part about it all is that I'm not planning to tell my mum anytime soon because it would absolutely break her heart and she's a strong believer and would honestly think that I was going to hell for it and of course, doesn't want that for me.
I ended up telling one friend who finished the conversation by telling me I was going through a phase but I guess deep down I wasn't so surprised but its put me off of telling any more friends any time soon. The only other person I told was my brother whose reaction wasn't perfect but much better than I expected.
Also our extended family would react strongly to me suddenly ousting myself as an atheist because the idea of a somali not believing in god is just mindblowing to them and I don't want that affecting my mum I guess. Which makes me wonder are there any other somali ex-muslims here?

Anyway, I hope you all have an awesome day

Talk about timing! Iska Waran!

Word of advice get your education, make sure that you can take care of yourself! Also moving away from somali population centers is a good idea.

You have so mislabelled your thread title.

Lovely bunch of people?

Trust me, you have walked into a nest of terrible people who are destined to go to hell.

Well, according to some really crazy delusional people anyway.

Welcome.

Xiis- That's the plan but definitely not anytime soon but thank you!
shilakijawani- I live in london right now but I'll hopefully visit it before I decide to tell everyone I'm not muslim. I don't want to even think about going there as an openly atheist person.

Thank you so much to the rest of you guys!

Welcome to the forum.

And he's the mother of grief
There's only sorrow for tomorrow
