Shums Ladeen Profile

Shums Alladeen is a pen name (pseudonym). It is Arabic, and it means the sun of irreligion, as opposed to Shamsuddeen, a male name that means the sun of the religion. I use it for protection from harm. I'm an ex-Muslim, agnostic irreligionist. I'm an Arab, from Najd, in Arabia, (Saudi Arabia.) I grew up in a religious family; and so it was with relatives, the community and the state in the eighties and nineties. The Quran and religious talk were pouring on me from all directions: People, radio, television, sermons, etc. Religious curricula were intensive at all educational levels, and even university science disciplines had compulsory religious courses. All of that gave me a strong religious culture. I used to write articles and publish them on a blog and in several forums. Since the experience of leaving Islam was significant in my life, it led me to write this ebook.
