Statement | I was born into a devout Syed Muslim family in [City, Pakistan]. As Syeds (descendants of the Prophet Muhammad), my family strictly enforced marriage only within our caste.In 2020, I fell in love with Zainab (a non-Syed Muslim). We had a 3-year secret relationship, hoping to convince our families. Despite my daily prayers begging Allah to change my family’s mind—citing Quranic verses like "Call upon Me, I will respond to you" (40:60)—nothing changed.In 2024, her family forcibly married her to her cousin. This broke my faithMy grief led me to question Islam:•"If Allah answers prayers, why did He ignore mine?"•"Why would a just God enforce caste discrimination?"I discovered atheist activists through:•Awais Iqbal (Pakistani ex-Muslim YouTuber criticizing Islam).•Wajeeha Zafar & Madeeha Syed (women exposing hypocrisy in Islamic marital laws).Their arguments—backed by science, ethics, and Quranic contradictions—convinced me there is no god |
