Muslim and starting to doubt my religion

I think it is best if you do go talk to a scholar or imam because some of your reasons for doubt aren't really good reasons. For example, we do believe that there will be more women in heaven than men in the end. http://islamqa.org/hanafi/daruliftaa-birmingham/19407

So it is better to go ask someone knowledgeable

So you are using Christianity to cast doubt on Islam?

You mean....asking about why underage marriage is permissible is not a good thing?

Different places have different ages for marriage.

In Islam we don't have a set age. Rather we go by puberty and when the parents think their offspring is mature enough for marriage. Ofcourse this is generally speaking and this statement doesn't cover any rare situations.

No I am offering the chance to to decide for himself, know ones making him believe it.

I was born and raised Muslim. The faith has a lot of good things about it.

However recently, I am starting to have doubts. I'm not as religious as I used to be. Particularly being a female, I find some parts of Islam extremely sexist.

For example women have to cover up, men can take up to 4 wives, Muslim women must only marry Muslim men, underage girls are allowed to marry as soon as start puberty ,women aren't allowed to leave the house without a male relative, women will make up the majority in hellfire because they are ungrateful to their husbands , sex slaves are permissible during war, woman's testimony often counts half of a man's testimony, women inheritance half that of a man, a woman must always obey her husband etc.

But I've read up on all the above and I do appreciate some of them give good reasons as to why. But one thing I can't get over is the fact our prophet Muhammed (pbuh) married Aisha (r.a) when she was only 6 years old. The reason I've heard include those were the times it happened a lot then, She contributed to the spread of Muhammad's(pbuh) message and served the Muslim community for 44 years after his death, the marriage not being consummated until she had reached puberty at the age of nine or ten years old etc. It's really hard for me to overlook.

But seriously if some joe public did that everyone would find it disgusting. What makes it a problem for me is that men are meant to follow the sunnah of the prophet. This means it's ok for Muslim men to take underage bride. It happens a lot in Afghanistan, Pakistan etc.

I'm just starting to lose my faith a little and it is mostly to do with its attitude towards women.

A bit like arguing against Alchemy using Astrology.

Can I just give you one piece of advice?

DO NOT ACCEPT THOSE WHO TELL YOU THAT IT'S THE DEVIL PLAYING WITH YOUR MIND!

I've always had doubts, when I was young, 10 or 11, my family used to tell me not to think about it because it's "the devil". Think about it, isn't this the perfect way to control one's mind?
Imagine every time you criticised the government, people called you a "spy" or something awful like that. Wouldn't that be the best way to control the people like sheep?

DO NOT be a sheep, question everything! I am sure you're intelligent enough to know that.

There is much to comment on here but the main thing I can comment on is that you have the wrong approach to religion but you haven't realised. A person does not agree or disagree with a religion based solely on subjectively moral issues, rather they affirm that the basis of the religion is correct or incorrect first before you look at rules.

Let's look at the time of revelation: the Prophet (SAW) spent the majority of his years in Mecca preaching Tawheed (the oneness of God) and the foundations of belief - this meant people's hearts softened to the message of Islam, and they developed the the understanding of reliance upon Allah and submitting to whatever He decreed and whatever the Prophet commanded thereby.
After they moved to Madinah, that is when the Islamic community had grown and their hearts were fertile soil to develop the rules and regulations of the Muslims - in the Quran, the verses which often mention rules state "Ahayu aladheena amaanu" - "O you who have believed" - showing that the rules are for those who were already firm in faith.

What I subsequently advise is you affirm the foundations of your belief - be confident that God exists, be confident that Islam is the religion of God, be confident that the Quran is the word of God, and when you are convinced that it is from Allah, then you don't need to worry if the finer rules are sexist or not or whatever. All of the topics you mention in the OP do not affect if Islam is the truth, rather they are topics that you just dont feel comfortable with, but they do not make Islam any less true. If these topics of subjective morality define whether you believe or not, then you have already conceded your belief in that you think your logic, understanding and personal morals are greater than those of your Creator who has rules in place because He is All Wise.

Build your faith from the bottom up (with the foundations), don't destroy it from the top down (with stuff that comes after belief like rules). May Allah guide you and us all.

Islam isn't sexist to women..do more research. There's a reason for everything...do you know why (those things u listed above) are the way they are?

I don't care what Buddhism is or was. Islam is the religion of peace. Period.

I will say this in response to the above post. If you say the morality of marrying a 9 year old is unimportant as long as you have belief then that is barbaric. If Allah came to earth and stood next to me and spoke to me and proved that he was real I wouldnt follow him if he told me marrying a 9 year old was acceptable. Same for God, if he beamed down and proved he was real, told me that I'd be saved if only I sacrifice my first born son, I tell him to get lost.

Blind acceptance of the immoral is unforgivable. I don't care how omnipotent you are, tell me to marry a child or kill my children and you deserve nothing but a punch in the face.
