أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted? (67:14)

Back in 2003, I decided to to create a web site to share Islamic videos with others.

At the time, there was only Islamicity.com which offered free Islamic videos, but they were very limited and you had to pay money in order to watch them.  So I decided I wanted to share Islam with others so I created a free site with Islamic videos.  My friend told me that it would be too expensive to host free videos, so I created a small web hosting company in order to fund the site.

The challenge

I found a major challenge.  Nobody wanted to allow me to put their videos online for free.  Everyone was too stingy to share their Islamic videos for free online.  They were profiting from selling their $10 VHS tapes in Islamic video stores and could not be bothered with putting them online. A notable exception was Khalid Jan who gave me permission to put all his videos for free online.  So I had to video tape them myself. I bought some camera equipment and went to conferences and events and recorded them myself.  One example of this is this Ziaullah Khan video.  I still had a major challenge.  Most of the sheikhs refused to allow me to put the video online for whatever reasons… Fast forward to Youtube, and everyone is doing it now.  But back then, it was a major struggle to convince them.

I also put articles on there, like this article praising jihad, among others.

Leaving Islam

Many years later, I am now leaving Islam.  The reasons are posted on my blog here.  I hope that some people will find my blog and read about why I left Islam.  Check out the Top Posts here.

The Difference between the Urine of a Baby Boy and a Baby Girl

Abdullah Sameer

No comment needed..

The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa salam), “Water should be sprinkled over the urine of a boy, and the urine of a girl should be washed, when the two types of water (urine) are the same. He said, “That is because the urine of the boy is of water and clay, but the urine of the girl is of flesh and blood.” Then he said to me: “Did you understand?” I said: “No.” He said: “When Allah the Most High created Adam, He created Eve (Hawwa) from his short rib, so the boy’s urine is from water and clay, and the girl’s urine is from flesh and blood.” Then he said to me: “Did you understand?” I said: “Yes.” He said: “May Allah cause you benefit from this.”

Jamila’s story

Abdullah Sameer

Take a look at I craved too much, the warm welcome home, the struggle of Jamila, an ex-Muslim who is struggling between the challenge of telling her family she is an ex-Muslim and her ultra religious family who would never accept that.
