Any ex-Muslims here?

[BluePurpl]

Just wondering if there’s anyone here who left Islam like me. Sometimes feels a little challenging raising children in a way that’s different to the way I was raised. Would love to connect with anyone who is going through the same

Can I ask why you left islam? I'm nosy 😬I'm not an ex Muslim but curious.

I’m not an ex Muslim, but agree that it can be challenging to raise children in a way different from how you were raised. I’m Muslim, grew up muslim. But didn’t grow up practising and didn’t really know much about Islam even though my parents are Muslims. It wasn’t till I was an adult that I started looking into Islam and practicing only then I felt fully connected to my deen. So I never wanted to raise my children that way, I wanted them to ask me questions about Islam, about Allah, so from a young age I told my children lovely stories about Allah, helped them connect with our creator. Taught them the meaning of Islam taught them Quran which guides us. But I do sometimes find it challenging to keep my children motivated in practising. But Alhamdulillah through every Challenge and hardship Allah gives me ease and patience.

Not an ex-Muslim, but I was raised in a religious Christian household, as was my husband, and we raise our children secularly. It’s sometimes a bit weird: they don’t get references to bible stories etc, but seeing them live free of fear of judgement/hell (something that was very present to me as a child) is wonderful.
