I hate it but don't know why
idk I can't explain it
I don't think I've been a Muslim myself in the last few years
If you have any questions regarding Islam.I hate it but don't know why
Hating something without knowing anything about it is called prejudice, intolerance, discrimination, partiality and narrow-mindedness. In the simplest of terms it can also be called ignorance.
Would you describe yourself with any of these adjectives?
no as I don't think I have magic on me.
and how do I even know that 'magic' is real?
idk
suddenly I am lost for words
can't describe it.

Start from the beginning, and you'll find the words.
If you don't tell us exactly what's happened or why you are here or what we can do to assist you, how can we know how to assist you or what advice to give you?
We're willing to listen and support you, but you must also be willing to open up and talk openly and honestly about what's been bothering you about Islam or why you're here.
So, again, let's start at the beginning: Let me ask you a few questions if that will help you start your story.
When did you first notice you'd started hating Islam? How did you deal with those feelings then? Did you talk or were you able to talk to anyone (family or friends) in real life about those feelings and if so what happened? What made you decide to come here on this board? Since you said that you don't think you've been a Muslim for a few years, how would you describe your objective on this board?
Sincere Regards & Best Wishes,
no as I don't think I have magic on me.
and how do I even know that 'magic' is real?
ok i'll try
ok I think I stopped believing in islam around 5 years ago as I couldn't accept that we've been placed on earth simply to 'worship allah' and life is a 'test' although for around 3 of those years I was in constant denial and going back to being a muslim one day and a non muslim the next. all this time I thought this was all 'waswas' but eventually I realised maybe I just don't believe.

Thank you for answering. So, the first thing I want you to recognize is that you're not the first person nor will you be the last person who has experienced doubts about religion or your place in life; I think life is a journey and your job as a human being is to grow, learn, and understand. I think understanding begins with searching answers and trying to find your place in life.
I can sympathize with some of your feelings. What I understand from what you've written so far is that while you yourself are not sure but think you do not believe, you're at the same time having a hard time letting go. Perhaps this is your small effort at trying to see or have Muslims help you understand. Please free to correct me if I'm wrong.
The question to ask yourself to test whether you believe in Islam is to start with the basics: Do you believe in a higher power? Do you believe that higher power sent Prophet :saws: to guide humanity? Then, we can move to other questions and perhaps hash out your doubts. Does that sound all right to you?
Remember we're here to support you and not to judge.
Sincere Regards & Best Wishes,
nope
yeah I think you summarised it nicely, you are right, i think i'm finding it hard to let go, for example i was here a few months ago with some questions but some users on here weren't so friendly and i said to myself i am done with islam for good but yet... here i am.
also as the years have past I've been hating Islam more and more, for example whenever someone starts talking about Islam, 'this is haram' or 'do you want to go to hell/heaven' it really irritates me.
to answer your questions:
i'm not entirely convinced that there is a creator hence i'm not sure if Muhammad was really a prophet (also some actions he did i find questionable)
