The Day I Left Islam: A Journey Back to My True Self
A Voice in the Silence (Early Childhood) I still remember the first moment I heard it. I was only three or four years old, and a voice from within whispered something I couldn’t quite understand. It felt deeply honest—but confusing. I didn’t know what it was, where it came from, or what it wanted.

The Illusion of Identity: When the Self Awakens
From childhood, we are taught that identity is something to be constructed—an ongoing project made of reactions, roles, achievements, and validations. We learn that to be loved, we must be recognizable. To be accepted, we must be defined. The more we fit into the mold, the more we are celebrated. And so, piece by piece, we assemble a self not from essence but from adaptation. We become versions of ourselves that respond—obediently and repeatedly—to what the world mirrors back at us.
