From inherited faith to honest disbelief.
Season 1 of My Journey is a personal account of inherited faith, sincere belief and the questions that gradually became impossible to ignore. It follows a search that began not with a desire to leave Islam, but with an attempt to understand it more honestly—through reading, reflection and encounters with people beyond one religious tradition.
The seven essays explore early belief, suppressed questions, morality, religious diversity and the difficult moment when practising faith no longer felt sincere. Written from the perspective of a Malay Singaporean, the series also considers what it means to question religion when faith, family, culture and identity are often treated as inseparable.
This is not an argument about what anyone else should believe. It is one account of how belief ended, told for readers who may recognise parts of the journey and for those who want to understand it with greater empathy. All seven parts are available in English and Bahasa Melayu.
