A salamu Alaykum brothers and sisters.
Today I would like to ask the question about shirk.
So, I live in Australia, and currently attend one of the top, if not top high school here, and I have been reading and writing for a very long time.
It has allowed me to build my language, imagination and many other things and lastly to get into this school.
I am still pretty young, and still don't understand some things.
I have never lived in a place that applied sharia, so please don't even try to force me to follow them, as I am most comfortable living like I am.
I am from the Uighur people in NW China, and I would say that we are some of the most modern adapted Muslim groups nowadays
So, my main question is,My question is: I have written a book a while agoan online book, and realised that for the setting of that world (wrote it in a different world medieval setting), I had the world'sworld history based on notaround Allah, but something else.
I feel pretty uncomfortable with it at the moment, my other works are healthy and don't have such a thing, only Does this one, and I am considering to take it down and pray for forgiveness on the matter.counts as a minor shirk?
As a note, I do not believe at all that any other God but Allah exists, and nor do my readers believe in the God as it is published on a fiction site for self taught Authors, so it's all purpose was the building and logic of the world in the book.
So, I would like to know if this counts as a minor shirk, and if it does, I will delete it and pray for forgiveness on the matter, and avoid such a mistake in the future.
As a said, don't even remotely try putting the strict sharia laws onto me and say I should stop reading or writing, I have seen a post like that go very wrong and I would like to avoid it. I'm in a top selective entry high school at the moment, and giving up those two in this situation is a no for me.
I have encountered Haram material in books and novels, and do well to avoid them, so don't bug me out on that.
I have reached puberty earlier than normal and and am getting into the 5x prayer(still trying to get used to it), and have been fasting on Ramadans since young, so I count myself as an alright Muslim.
Thank you for your help brothers and sisters
EDIT:
I have decided to continue the story after much thought, it is an ongoing story at the moment with quite a large fanbase, but iI have also decided to change some parts of the earlier story and the history of the world so there isn't a 'God'
I will be referring to it as something else that will conflict less with Islam, and iI thank the brother that helped with the solution
