Abstract

Although Atheism cannot be considered a modern phenomenon, to say that it has never reached its current level is not hyperbole. This is obvious that Atheism has now become a serious challenge ideologically and morally for Muslim societies. Atheism among Muslim-born populations has historically been of minor importance. It appeared especially negligible during the surge of Islam liking over the past half-century. But no longer, Atheism has turned into a significant force with the potential to affect not just the lives of individuals but also societies and even governments. As a Muslim, it’s our duty to eradicate anything that is harming Islam or Muslims, and indeed, there is no harm greater than snatching someone’s faith and life ideology.
