I was a firm believer in Islam right from the time Azan was sounded into my ears, as I believed that every child who is born, is born as a Muslim. When I was 3 years, my mother and I were brought to Dubai by my father.

And since then, I lived there until I was 14 years old. I was accustomed to seeing my parents pray, fast and pay zakah regularly, right from my earliest memories.

I was admitted into the Salafi madrassa as they were Salafists, and learned Islam there, though they were Sunnis.

I used to listen to and recite the Quran everyday after Maghrib prayers, and studied all the subjects taken in the madrassa. I accepted the Quran as the word of Allah. Later in India, I continued my Islamic education. I used to call out the Azan in the mosque where I studied.

Later due to school academics, I had to stop madrassa but I continued to practise Islam as I was a very passionate believer by then.

I used to look at people of other religions with pity when I was convinced that I would be going to Heaven, and they to Hell. I was so sure.

I used to think that my fellow Muslims and I were a superior class. I was that biased. Brotherhood for me meant Muslims.
I then began to read about other ideologies like Leftism and Humanism. Those raised doubts in me.
I decided to study Islam from a critic point of view.
Voila!

I did NOT need outside sources. Quran and Tafsirs did the job.
It ceased to attract me anymore.
I was repulsed that I was a Muslim. Because in madrassas, they teach you only the good stuff which is there in every religion.

I left Islam last year.
Now I'm an apostate and atheist.
