I feel like I barely believe in Islam anymore, although I was never really religious my whole life (I’m 18 now)
I never questioned why I was made to wear hijab at such a young age until a couple years ago, and I feel like I wouldn’t feel this bitter towards religion if my parents weren’t so strict with clothing.
I’m in this weird limbo state where I’m not religious at all but I still can’t imagine a future where I’m not ‘Muslim’. It feels scary.
Ask away about anything 🙂

What do you think about the pedestrianization of Norwich city centre?
My wife and I are Muslim. My wife says the five daily prayers, fasts during Ramadan and has completed the Hajj. I consider her religious. She does not wear the Hijab and neither do her mother or sister. Islam is what is in your heart and not what is on your head. At age 18, you are only beginning to process life. Be patient.
Have you learnt about the Injeel/Gospels?
I feel for you, a woman with parents in strong Muslim beliefs is difficult for you.
Why is it that the men in Islam can have multiple wives, wear what they want but women as Aisha says are treated like dogs?
I had horrible family, mentally torture me, and found God, and when I did I was strong enough to leave them, but I forgave them.
I thought hijab was for women during and after puberty. Why did you have to wear it so young?
I’m a guy so I can’t relate to the hijab issue, but I have been praying 5 times a day since 8, and my parents have been really strict while growing up like they wouldn’t let me participate in my social gatherings with friends. Now I’m 18 but lost my faith like 3-4 years ago, and feeling scared is something I totally felt and sometimes still seel, it’s like you lose a certainty and all the hope, true or false, that religion brings in.
