Ask Your Favorite Muslim

[cactus]

Around my high school years, yeah, I doubted, even to the point of becoming an atheist. But not anymore. I don't doubt my religion anymore.

At the point in your life where you felt the term "atheist" was the most accurate descriptor for the degree to which you were convinced by all claims about various supernatural deities, what information, experience, or line of reasoning had led you to become aware of your own involuntary lack of belief at that time?  Did you think of yourself as an atheist at the time, or are you applying this label to yourself retroactively?

You said later in your post that you arrived at your current level of conviction through study, reflection, and guidance from God (possible predestination?  That's my own interpretation; feel free to re-frame the "guidance" part if that's not your intended meaning.)
