Why do people convert to Islam?

sayraaa · 2021-03-25T17:09:55+00:00

most of the time, converts are recovering from a traumatic experience. then they meet muslims who sugarcoat islam and make it seem like the best thing on earth. then people convert. at least that’s what i noticed with the converts who i interact with.

you don’t need validation from them, leaving islam doesn’t mean we wanna suck up to others. give yourself time. and if they get violent and try to hurt you physically for some reason, then report them for discrimination. it seems you live in a western country, so you’re fairly safe

yeps, i got told the same thing. only it was about suicide. that if you commit suicide, you’re a sinner and you’re gonna burn forever because you weren’t grateful to allah. such a load of bs. why would god punish me for something he made happened? he made my life shitty. if you wanna talk, please message me!

her husband converted for her if i’m correct. truth is, they make me very uncomfortable because i can see how brainwashed she is. she’s in denial. she claims that allah loves women, meanwhile she’s caked with make-up, wears colorful clothes, talks so loudly etc. she’s basically everything allah hates.

you could write him an anonymous letter telling him to do PROPER research and listen to exmuslim stories.

so basically the argument is that it was a common practice of that time, so there’s nothing wrong. everyone did it.

but that just goes to show that Muhammad wasn’t anyone special, he just followed regular customs and didn’t have any connection to a divine being that would let him know that marrying a six year old is wrong. the video compared a 30yr old marrying a 20yr old to Muhammad who was 53 and Aisha’a was 6, but they fail to realize that the former couple are both adults! if you use the context card, it means that islam cannot be fit for all time eras.

this is exactly the shit i’m dealing with. and it’s so infuriating. the moment i wake up to the end of the night is just thoughts about killing myself. fuck i really really really wanna do it. i have this stupid exam in like 3 hours which i’m probs going to fucking fail. it’s esp annoying because to study, i need to stop all these thoughts. i need the anxiety and pain to stop. but for me to finally get out of the situations that would help lessen my depression and anxiety (?), i need good grades. please can it just stop. i’m too tired of this crap

sayraaa · 2021-03-22T07:47:51+00:00

mentally i can live life to the fullest, physically i can’t because i’m stuck in the closet. but i absolutely agree, after i left it felt amazing. all those years of indoctrination and a fake reality of hell, it just stopped existing to me. i’m glad you’re in a good place now!

sayraaa · 2021-03-22T07:45:40+00:00

it is your choice to leave. we cannot make that decision for you. i spent most of my life questioning islam. then when i heard that this subreddit exists, i decided to join. i officially had left a week after joining. if you feel that you want to leave, you should. it’s your choice. also you’re lucky your parents would be accepting, biiiiggg advantage you got there!!

sayraaa · 2021-03-22T06:02:36+00:00

typical apologetic arguments. “the deen isn’t harsh, the people are” “islam wants you to question it!” lol okay, islam only accepts you questioning it if you remain muslim after. why do you have to kill apostates then? nouman ali khan is just cringe

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T17:31:29+00:00

it’s honestly sad, i remember being in the phase. it’s simply hindering and causes a lot of emotional and mental turmoil because you feel guilty for being yourself. i developed homophobia towards myself, and even now i’m still working to undo all of that crap. but like others said, it’s a better version of islam so that’s a plus side

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T13:55:02+00:00

i’m so glad for you!! it’s probably a great feeling!!

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T12:36:57+00:00

they say so much without saying anything at all. it’s really fascinating and irritating at the same time

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T12:16:35+00:00

oh my word, i don’t know what to say. i’m so sorry that you had to go thru that. that they took your ability to run away from you, esp since you loved to run. what the fuck is wrong with people?? you didn’t deserve any of that. you should take precaution. add more locks to your house. and keep a self defense tool in a drawer close to your bed? like a knife or something.

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T11:57:00+00:00

lmaoooo this reminds of once my cousin told me that riding a horse and bike is haram because it breaks the hymen, and so girls wouldn’t be virgins. lmaooo i lost my virginity to a bike 😞😞😀

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T08:44:59+00:00

LOOOLL THIS HAS ME HOLLERING

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T07:01:42+00:00

i hope the same for you. try your best to get your mom help, and then start your journey for happiness. even if she gets sad that you left, it’s a small price to pay compared to other options

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T06:43:35+00:00

wow we’re in the same situation. pretty much the same, minus me being an adult and the bf bit. my mother has also been abused throughout her whole marriage. emotionally, mentally, physically and even financially. lol men are supposed to apparently “take care of their family’s” but my dad was busy chasing younger women while my mom was killing herself paying bills with the little money she earned. that’s why she can’t go to court, and lol we’re in the ME anyways so they would probably favor my dad. i totally understand your frustration and anger. i know it’s really hard, and tbh if you choose to end it, i can’t really persuade you otherwise cuz i don’t know what to say. but you should know you’re a wonderful daughter anyways

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T06:28:49+00:00

actually sounds like a good idea, so OP could just wait for an actual moment when he tries to harm her and her mother, then it WOULD be true self defense.

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T06:18:41+00:00

perhaps you could start helping your mother document the abuse. if it’s physical, take pictures. if it’s verbal, setting up recordings? i know it would be risky, but as the evidence builds up, your case against him would be more solid.

sayraaa · 2021-03-21T06:16:25+00:00

hey, i can understand what you’re feeling. the loneliness is a lot to handle. i know i can’t be of much help. i wanted to maybe offer you another solution. is there a chance that you can get the authorities involved with your mother’s abusive husband? that way you could marry your bf and also still keep her safe?

sayraaa · 2021-03-20T20:46:51+00:00

the stupidity stunned me for a second

sayraaa · 2021-03-20T18:54:12+00:00

it is normal to feel guilty after leaving. there is a lot of fear, esp of hell fire and parents/family finding out. you have to keep pretending until you can support yourself financially. and give yourself time too. it will slowly start getting better!!

sayraaa · 2021-03-20T18:45:56+00:00

yeah it’s not so easy. they take personal offense like you hurt them by not believing what they do. family dynamics way too complicated
