    I don't believe in Islam even though I'm Muslim (OP)


    Hello my name is Danial I migrated here from Singapore a couple of years ago and I'm in year 10 at the moment. I am doing this because I feel trapped. I do not believe in god anymore and I am afraid of my parents. My parents are great and kind and I love them with all my heart but they are true believers and I feel burdened with the weight of religion. Trust me when I say I am knowledgeable about Islam, I go for lessons and Friday prayers and I listen to sermons so usually if I write this down, I expect an answer saying that the devil is whispering in my ear but I do not want to hear that. Praying for me is like a hollow ritual and the fact that I have to miss school for Friday prayers just straight out angers me. My parents say that they don't want 'western culture' to lead me astray from the 'true' path but the truth is I stopped believing ever since I was 7 and I was still living in Singapore at the time. Furthermore, reading the Quran and praying doesn't light a spark or anything in me in fact I find a chore to do so. I am afraid to tell my parents but I just can't stand doing things that I don't believe in. I don't mind the fact that we can't drink or eat non halal meat because to be completely honest even if I wasn't a Muslim I still wouldn't want to drink or do any of that stuff. I'm not looking for any references to the Quran saying that I'm going to go to hell and believe me when I say I've seen a lot of them and it scares me a lot because if I so say so myself, I'm a good kid I help my parents I love them I do well at school I do my fair share of charity work and I don't know. I feel disconnected from the rest of my family. Everytime they talk about god, inside my heart I am cringing but I have to put on this facade, hiding who I truly am. I want to tell my parents, I do but I can't and I don't want to have to hold this in my heart for the rest of my life. Anyways thanks for reading this, maybe now you hate me or whatever but the truth of the matter is that I haven't been believing in Islam since I was 6 or 7 and all the praying and reading I've done up till now just makes me feel sad and hurt inside.

    Daniel, I'm so glad you wrote this. I am Elif, currently in year 11. I haven't found anyone who's related to me before, you put my feelings into words perfectly. You wrote this 4 years ago, I don't know if you will ever see my reply but I'm struggling. I wonder where you are at now, if you are still muslim. Please if you ever see my reply then can we talk?
