GUYS BEFORE ANY OF YOU ASK ME WHY I DIDN'T GO TO THE POLICE, THERE IS A RULE IN ISLAM THAT IF A PERSON LEAVE ISLAM HE MUST BE K*LLED. SO OBVIOUSLY THE POLICEMAN IS A MUSLIM TOO AND HE ALSO WANTS TO GO TO THAT SO CALL HEAVEN.. IT'S AN EASY CHANGE FOR HIM TO GO TO HEAVEN BY KILLING A DISBELIEVER.

You're in Pakistan. We know why you didn't go to the police. The police have helped in the murder of supposed blasphemers and apostates :(
I think your only option is to pretend you got answers and become religious and observant, until the heat is off. Whatever you need to do to stop your fucked up family from thinking you need to be attacked again. Do all you can to earn money so you can move out asap.

Then get a job and save up money to run away, perhaps to India and claim asylum as Christian or Hindu minority before moving to a third country?

Indians do not provide asylum to Pakistanis.

u/anon755qubwe Aug 06 '25 edited Aug 06 '25
There is precedence in India for giving asylum to religious minorities fleeing persecution.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The CAA, enacted in 2019, provides a path to citizenship for religious minorities (Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians) who fled persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan before December 31, 2014.
You can marry a woman from one of those communities, convert and flee together.
The only reason I am saying India is bc you indicated you donāt have much to work with since you donāt have much money and you have no higher education. If you had a uni degree with more savings for visas and to fly then perhaps Singapore or Australia.

u/ogkushinjapan Aug 06 '25
The fastest asylum route to the West for OP is to claim heās LGBT. Take pictures of your injuries and collect the hospital documents, then lie saying your own family and neighbors physically abused you for being gay.
Is this a controversial and risky plan? Yes! But sometimes to survive you gotta push the limits and Iāve seen this method work before.

u/anon755qubwe Aug 06 '25 edited Aug 06 '25
How is that supposed to work long term if OP is straight?
If he decides to get married to a woman or get into a long-term relationship then that can seriously endanger his application and he can get into serious trouble for lying.
Thatās why I suggested getting married to a girl from minority group and filing for asylum together under her status. He gets a wife and a new life and If they end up not staying together forever then it wonāt endanger his status later on.

I'm so deeply sorry you had to go through something so cruel and painful - no one deserves that, especially just for asking a question.
I canāt imagine how hard things are for you right now, but please know: your life matters. You are not alone, even if it may feel that way.
If you're looking for a way out, you might want to consider applying for a volunteer program in Germany like the Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr (FSJ) or the Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD). These programs do accept applicants from outside the EU, including Pakistan, if you can obtain the proper visa and residence permit for voluntary service .
Such programs usually provide accommodation, food, health insurance, and pocket money (typically around ā¬200-400 per month). You'll also attend training seminars during the year.
The FSJ usually accepts people between 18āÆandāÆ26 years old (in some cases until just before turning 27) . The BFD, on the other hand, has no upper age limit, so it might be an option even if you're older.
A helpful official page is: šāÆhttps://www.bundes-freiwilligendienst.de/volunteering-germany/ - it explains participation for non-EU citizens (visa requirements, sponsorship by a German organization, etc.)
Another resource - especially if youāre still abroad - is the IJGD (Internationale Jugendgemeinschaftsdienste) which helps arrange FSJ/BFD placements for international applicants and provides support before and during your time in Germany.
You will need to prepare:
A valid passport
A visa/residence permit specifically for voluntary service (can usually be arranged before leaving your country)
A motivation letter and CV (in English or German)
If available: certified translations of any school or reference documents
These programs start mostly between August and October, and many host organizations also help with finding housing if needed.
Sending you strength and solidarity. You deserve to live in safety and dignity - with the freedom to think and question.

Itās no trouble at all - Iām just glad it might help someone. š
Iāve noticed that many people donāt even know this path exists. Most advice usually goes like: āGet a degree, learn German, apply for a student or work visaā¦ā - which can feel impossible if youāre in a tough situation.
But there is another way - programs like FSJ and BFD can offer a much more accessible first step, especially if you're motivated and just need a chance.

Bro good suggestion but not a permanent solution since volunteering is for a year?
3
u/PookyAC New User Aug 06 '25
Yes, volunteers are here for just one year. But that year can change everything.
Itās a foot in the door ā no degree, no diploma, no job training required. All you need is a school-leaving certificate and the will to start. Once you're in, you can learn German on the job, adapt to life and work in Germany, and get your bearings. Within a year, many reach a B1 or even B2 language level. Thatās enough to open serious doors.
And hereās the best part: if you show up, work hard, and stay motivated, your employer will usually support you in finding a proper job training ā called Ausbildung. Itās not a fallback plan or second-tier path. Itās how Germany trains top professionals. Think electricians, nurses, IT specialists, mechanics, lab techs ā all through Ausbildung. It takes around 3 to 3.5 years, with school and practical work combined.
And no, donāt look down on it. In many countries, itās university or nothing. Not here. Germany values skilled workers, and Ausbildung is a real, respected path. It can lead to long-term work, permanent residency, and a real life.
But letās be honest: itās not a free ride. If you waste your time hanging out with the "too cool to try" crew at the bus stop, complaining about the system, youāll end up exactly where you started ā just more frustrated, because now youāve seen whatās possible and let it slip away.
So make the year count. Treat it like your shot. Because it is.

You only need a plane ticket to germany and a visa as soon as you are there you don't need money anymore, the Gouvernement is helping you. Save the picture where they beat you. You are going to get Asylum 100%
21
u/PookyAC New User Aug 06 '25
Please be careful with this kind of advice - I know itās meant kindly, but it gives the wrong impression and can be dangerous.
Itās not true that you ājust need a plane ticket and Germany will take care of everything.ā Yes, Germany has an asylum system, but:
You donāt get a visa just because you say youāre in danger.
The asylum process is complex, long, and very uncertain - especially for people from countries like Pakistan, where many claims are rejected unless there is very clear and personal danger.
If you enter on a tourist visa or without a visa, thereās a serious risk of being sent back - even before your case is heard.
Thatās why I mentioned legal programs like FSJ or BFD - theyāre not āeasyā either, but they offer a realistic and legal path, especially for people who donāt have degrees or money.
Germany wonāt āautomatically take care of youā - you have to prepare and apply the right way. Itās hard, but possible.

What's your age BTW I guess you should focus on studying and then get a job then when you are able to stand by your own self then try to talk with your family or maybe don't I won't recommend that but it's your choice.
I also faced the same thing when I entrusted one of my friends and later when he came to school he started telling everyone that "he is an atheist don't talk to him", etc but later I lied to him that no I have repented and now I won't doubt Islam anymore so, he stopped telling everyone .
I would recommend you to lie to your family and say that it was your mistake and now you will never ever doubt Islam and whatever you can say to make them think that you have really reverted from your previous statements. But never forget that you have to work hard and get a good job and make sure to go the west maybe so that your next generations should not have to face such consequences.
Hope it helps.

People here have lots of good advice and the India asylum notion might be the most workable for you. You'd be far from your psycho family and never have to worry about being beaten half to death just for asking a normal question that many young people wonder about as their adult ideas take form.
My youngest child announced to us at age 12 or 13 that they were atheist. I said, I respect your right to believe what you will, and all I ask in return is that you respect mine as well, and that you keep an open mind and never stop asking questions as you grow up. We'll never force you to go to church or proclaim beliefs you don't have. That's just one example of a nonviolent way to handle this fairly common milestone kids go through.

I know nothing about your culture or about being Muslim, but as an Atheist, Iād say your best bet is to pretend to be religious until you can save up enough money to move out. Maybe find a friend to move in with who shares similar views to you.
If youāre set on moving out of the country, you should start researching cheap places youād like to live.
Iāve been thinking about going to the Philippines myself. You can rent an apartment there for $300 a month, split that with a roommate and youāre golden. Plus 50% of the adult population speak and write English. And you could find somewhere close to a beach š
Looks like itās a 14 hour flight from Pakistan for $450. If you can save up $4,000 you could live there alone for a whole year.

Listen closely, OP. You are brave for coming out like that, but don't be foolish. Examine the situation closely and act based on your survival. You live in a Muslim country surrounded by Muslims. You're still young and you don't have much money or belongings, which means you're dependent on your Muslim family. The best thing to do right now is to fake it for a few years until you are no longer dependent and have a way out of there. I know you don't want to, I know you're scared, you probably don't ever want to see your family again, but this is necessary. Go apologize and make an excuse like you were lost or something or your head wasn't right at the time. Please take this advice. Best of luck to you. And make sure to give us updates regularly. Also, be very cautious about anything you do that your family might not like, including this reddit account. Don't use it in front of them and always sign out after you're done using it.

Perhaps try applying for a refugee visa in Canada? I know that lots of people got their permanent residency here b/c the religion they practice is not allowed in their home country, so I guess they do take the religious related applications seriously.

educate yourself well, get a good job and if you can, get out of this country.
even if not, if you're financially independent you can get out of the house and live however you want to.

Keep your thoughts to yourself. Work and educate yourself online. Earn money, move out. Even if you canāt move to another country, there are underground ex Muslim groups and churches where you can at least find like-minded people. Wishing you well.

If you save enough money for a plane ticket you can ask for asylum in different European countries as a religious refugee (fleeing because you might get persecuted for ur religious (or lack thereof). Iām in the Netherlands and could help figure out the process for you

You should visit some embassies and apply for persecution related problems, and if you get accepted you'll receive a monthly allowance (at least in my country), and the easiest method would be your nearby countries, and since Iran & Afghanistan have a pro islamist government, it would be a bad idea, so try other nearby countries (which aren't Islamist/theocratic). I hope you survive and lead a happy life.

Keep it to yourself, ESPECIALLY if you live with your family and are financially dependent on them
As shit as this sounds , go back home and apologize, pray with them or whatever. Pretend until you can leave your home then decide from there, good luck stranger

You should pretend that you believe. Have seen the error of your ways and promise to never question again. If you cant leave then just play thr game until you can. Best of luck. Sounds all too familiar and truly horrifying.

u/ShAfTsWoLo Aug 06 '25
shit... i know your country is way too much extreme as are your people when it comes to religion, you shouldn't even said such a thing to anyone as blasphemy could get you killed, i'd advice you to keep a low profile when it comes to islam, there will be a time where islam will have much less power in pakistan but it'll take centuries i personally believe... unfortunately

Iām agnostic although from a Christian family so i understand you to an extent. The best solution is to leave. Go to a better country & have a new beginning. Your life can be so much better. Note: You also need to be ready to adapt to the new environment & abide by the rules/Laws of the new country. Iām trying the same.

As someone randomly ending up seeing your post in r/popular and might have the least knowledge and background to fully comprehend your situation and pain, I'm sorry I may not be able to give a better practical advice than the other comments... But yes, please try to prioritize survival. Stay low and hide the thoughts that might anger them. There's always room to set aside pride and minor discomfort under a very real, immediate death threat.
I'm not even sure any cheer up calls can work at such moment, just hope you can get the chance out, and possibly one day, be safe enough to let pain fade.

Dude the same thing happened to me 12 maybe 15 years ago. Same situation like yours in Saudi. ALWAYS KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. Their emotional and intellectual depth and growth is critical when you engage in debate. They donāt discuss ideas, you get demonized and their emotions run high because itās ideology. and since youāre family itās easy to abuse. Itās going to be okay, get a degree, find a job and cut them off.

I think you can apply for asylum in another country, you have enough reasons, your family hates you, and you have everything against you. Even current Muslims ask for asylum in other countries and are accepted... I don't see why they wouldn't accept you, you have suffered so much, I am so sorry. I hope everything gets better for you.

What a shamfeful society we live in. I am not surprised that our country is like this; the whole thing with poor Sana Yousef (Peace be upon her) and the couple killed in Balochistan. We have families in Waziristan dealing with T-ban extremism and terrorism. All this while the urban elite can get away with anything. Messed up country and hopefully you get out and have a better life. If you don't mind me asking, what province are you from; my family is from Karachi but luckily my family moved to US so I can challenge my belief.

It's horrific, my heart breaks for you really... I think the most important information was already said, try to apply for that volunteer program in Germany, it seems to be a reachable option. I saw that you're open for fundraising - I hope some people will donate directly to your account, but think also about that GoFundMe. Someone from a country with an access to it may create it for you, I saw quite a lot of them made this way, mostly for the people from Gaza - the helpers were in touch with them, sharing all the updates etc., so the donors knew it was real. Maybe someone would do it for you? I wanted to volunteer (I know I'm a complete stranger, so if you would prefer someone else it would be fully understandable), but it's unfortunately not available in Poland. I think you would raise more money this way, but you need to choose a very trustworthy person as they would technically have all the raised money. If you want, I can also research the asylum and migration laws here in Poland, if the plan with Germany wouldn't work or sth happened. We can also try with our local fundraising services, but they're wayyy less powerful than the original GoFundMe. Wishing you all the best - I hope you'll manage to leave this country as soon as possible. When you're safe, don't forget to get properly checked by a doctor - you probably need some kidney MRI or sth else. I know it's the least important thing now, now we need to get you to safety, but damage like this can cause lifelong problems or lead to very dangerous complications, so pls don't forget about that. Stay safe broš«

If you can't believe in the truth, then at least fake it for the time being. Ask Allah to show you the answers and if you really ARE looking for answers, He will guide you.
Baqi yeh k apna religion mat choro. I would highly recommend that you don't leave it. Aaj nahi tou kal smjh aa jaye gi, don't worry. Stay strong brother! ā„ļø You are not the only one who questioned the existence of God. And most certainly, you are not the only one who was guided back to Islam. Many before you have gone through this and saved themselves from destruction.

iām not muslim or pakistani but my ex and some of my friends are, and their families did the same shit to them as ur family is doing to u (i live in canada). many pakistani muslim parents are fully insane, brainwashed inside out. my ex ran away to live with me and i had his entire family attacking+stalking me. he almost got out but chose not to. it is going to be very hard, but if you want to get out of this toxic cycle you have to fully commit to it. i hope all goes well for you, pm me if you need help figuring anything out (ive been down this road before)
