Ex-muslim sibling
Alsalamu Alaykum everyone,
I’m in quite a predicament right now. For a while I have been having doubts about my sibling praying and just in general following Islam. Even then, I wanted to believe I was just overthinking. Not too long ago, I happened to look into her phone (I know I shouldn’t have and feel horrible for doing so, especially with what I saw) and saw she posted some anti-Islamic posts on social media. Mostly about misogynistic men’s posts and other stuff like “Islamic” AI generated videos, Islamic stories (Profit Noah’s arc and how to her it’s a far-fetched story), and other stuff like not needing men for pregnancies.
For context, we were raised for a few years in a 3rd world country, came to the US when we were little, our father is married and is living with another women, meaning we didn’t and don’t see him that often (no other real father figure). The only father figure we have is our older brother who isn’t perfect (no one is) and isn’t too religious himself. Pretty much, our family is somewhat in between the two extremes of religious and non-religious. The others do pray, fast, but read Quran irregularly.
I realized that it’s up to me to force myself to practice Islam well, especially considering my age. However, not everyone thinks the same. I understand her own actions and everything she experienced in life led her to this situation. I have nobody I can think of to ask on such a serious matter except on reddit while being anonymous. I thought of going to a further away Masjid and asking a very intelligent and amazing Imam that I know on this matter, somehow getting some Muslim sister who is devout and that will be able to speak to her about this situation, talking to her straight on, or telling one of my older sisters but I am not sure if that is for the best.
I would love any feedback from people that actually want to help and have had similar events with loved ones or friends.
Apologies for this lengthy post.
