Why are there so many Somali ex-muslims?

[Masaasbaa]

A whole chapter was dedicated to the condemnation of the likes of me. What are you talking about? Chapter 48 or was it chapter 49. Go read it

please read 39:53

People are much more open minded than the people before, so they question everything. Some of these questions are hard to answer when it comes to the faith.

 

[Masaasbaa]

its due to lack of knowledge, when you don't know what you're following and for what reasons you're bound to hit a wall and question everything. the question is what do you do when it happens. do you open the book of allah and read it and take your unanswered questions to a (*qualified*) scholar? or do you give in to social pressure and forget everything about it because you don't wanna be labelled backwards,unintelligent etc.. if you don't ask question then there is something wrong with you its what you do with the answers that sets you apart.

.
For example many major scholars agree that the punisment for insulting prophet is death. Some said even if he repents. Such scholars casted some doubts into my faith and i am trying to recover

Qureysh called the prophet S.A.W alot of things (even recorded in the quran). i don't remember the whole clan being annihilated.

if you're a muslim=( someone who believe in Allah and his messenger with no doubt etc.) and insult the prophet S.A.W isn't that an oxymoron?

Most big scholars agree on that the punishment for insulting is death. I am a muslim but i just feel that it is a bit extreme. I believe one should respect other faiths by not insulting their faith. I started having doubts for many reasons till i started questioning about allah but alhamdulillah i am recovering my faith. Forget about the example i gave, it wasnt a reason for me having doubts about faith.

May Allah strengthen both of our imaans brother.

It's due to lack of knowledge said every muslim yeah it's because of that either that or you had little iman to begin with, it's like dejavu with these rehashed stuff same thing with the Xtians you haven't been touched by the holy spirit so you wouldn't understand yeah alrightty then

Acudu billahi mina shadani rajiim

[Hatredfree]

Most Somali the younger ones don't even pray just Muslims on name.

 

[Inactive]

They are not even culturally Muslim

They hate religion the most

 

[Hatredfree]

I just believe in allah I don't pray though.

I have the worst here my mom started listening to Salafi seikhs now she made me hate Islam by making it harder to believe it. She believes now drawing is haram and i love drawing, can't even listen to music i don't pray but she insist me eveytime and we argue every time i am planing to move out

Paradise lies underneath your mothers feet, she just wants what's best for you. If you knew something beneficial then likewise you would insist that your mother does what you tell her, perseverance is key & when it comes to Hooyo you should even crawl on all fours to see to it that she's pleased.

@VicePrex hit the nail on the head.

The internet is our only medium right now, we out here. I wish more Somali ex-Muslims were comfortable being visible, baby steps, since we all got family's to deal with for now. I have high hopes for the next generation.

My dad is a sufi he minds his business and my mom is aqwaan, he hates he tries to make her sufi, but other than that their are open minded. They tell you to pray once in a while.

my family went from all sufi to salafis the worst

 

[Hatredfree]

my family went from all sufi to salafis the worst

All my family are Sufi except my mom even my mom dislikes the average salafi/aqwaan. Sufi are more accepting.

Become financially independent and move out just like you planned. For the time being respect your parents wishes as best as you can. In my case, I'm never telling my parents about my atheism because it would only cause drama, besides they are senior citizens. Look at it from their shoes. All the salats and duas they made all their life are sunk costs, no way they will abandon their faith and see reason. Also, knowing that I left the faith would only further distress them. All they would think about is the "Hell Fire" Allah has in store for me, I'm not about to give my Mom nightmares. Best to avoid all this and be considered a Bad Muslim in their eyes, a lot of things you can get away with using this method. The things I do for my family just to keep it intact. The burden is on us, my kids won't have to deal with this.
