Now What and What's Next?

I am sure that everyone of us has faced this kind of moments, which i call "Now What? and What Next?" moments.



It occurs after we dealt with our problems or obstacles. And you're unsure of the future. Like me, i get a lot of this moments.

I think most of you are still wondering what exactly do i mean by this "Now What? and What Next?" moments.



For example,

Since the last few months, I've been facing troubles regarding my Islam Card. In order to get my Islam card, i have to attend a 5 day Saudara Baru course but I can't go to the JAIS course because if i do, i will jeopardize my terms with JPA which require me to attend class for at least 90% attendance, and also, with the exam coming near and a lot of syllabus to catch up, i just can't afford to skip class.

The problem here is that, the time range of the course itself, which will cause me to be left behind in class if i were to attend. And the course is also held at Kuala Selangor which is far away from Nilai and this will be difficult as i have no means of transport to get there.

And if i don't have the card, i can't renew my I.C. So for now, i am still a "Christian" on the legit papers. Until now, I'm like hanging off a cliff on a piece of string. But i don't really care about the I.C actually. It's just that i'm afraid if something happened to me, and well, nauzubillah, since my parents didn't know about me being a Muslim, i'll probably be given a Christian burial.

Yes, i'm talking about death here. We can never tell what will happen right?

So basically I WILL need the legit papers or documents to prove that i am a Muslim. Okay, not me, but my uncle who knew about me. He will have to possess the evidence.

Sheesh~ Macam kes pendaki gunung Everest tu pulak nanti.

And we don't want that. Nauzubillah..

And since i am far away from the JAIS office where i registered(i'm practically on the other side of the sea..=_=), this made me say,

"Now what?"

This a very poor example of the "Now What?" moments actually.

Wait, i think i have another better example.

Like that day, i lost my IELTS certificate due to careless reasons and i was totally blacked out at that time. I was so scared that i wouldn't get a replacement since my lecturer told me that it has only one copy, like SPM cert.

I freaked out but then, i finally manage to resolve the situation.

But then, i began to think, "What's next?"

"Now what?"

It's like,after i surpass a problem, another one will emerge, and that made me say
"Now what?"

And after i survived it, again, i will say "What's next?"

......................

Okay, i think you get the message now. =P


Yeap, trouble is a friend.


But after each test, quoted from my Biology lecturer

"Each problems will lead to another problem after it is solved. But then it will make you more experienced and prepared."


Obviously she's referring on how to tackle Biology questions but still, it is applicable in life right?


And I've got another quote to share.


"Each success only buys an admission ticket to more difficult problems."
-Henry Kissinger-

So yeah, the more successful you are, the more problems you'll get.


That's life.


Face it people.

So i guess, maybe ALLAH is trying to prepare me for something big.

Gosh, now I'm scared.


So,

" what's next?"

    Assalamualaikum Nufas,

    The word Islam on the IC do not bring any significance of you becoming a muslimah because you already signatured the form when you said your syahadah. Just make sure you keep your temporary 'Kad Islam' with you all the time. I know there are many brothers and sisters out there that is in the same situation like you so just hang in there until you are free to attend those courses and get your new IC.

    What's next? There are so many things to learn since we just became a Muslim/Muslimah. If you are good with the Fardu Ain already, maybe this will be a good time to read the Quran's translation to understand the meanings.

    You can also look on the topic of Science and Quran. This will help to improve aqidah.

    :p Hang in there lil sis. Life is a long way to go.

A revert's thoughts on LGBTQ

First of all, what does LGBTQ stands for?  L = lesbian G = gay B = bisexual T = transgender Q = queer I am pretty sure everyone's familiar with the first 4 sexual orientation but what about the last one? Queers are people who are not sure of their own sexual identity.  So what does it mean to belong to the 5 sexual orientation? Let's just assume I am secretly a lesbian. So how would you react to that?  Do you judge me?  Or do you accept me as I am? I got married with a man and have 2 kids as a result of the marriage, there's nothing wrong with that isn't it? I am doing nothing wrong despite having an against the fitrah inclination towards the same sex.  It will only become wrong if they chose to act on their sexual orientation.  They claim that the sexual orientation is a result of nature and nothing can be done to change it. Like in a transgender's case, they think that "God made a mistake and switched their ge...

My dad's turn

because ALLAH is with me.... Earlier today i was shocked by a text message sent to me from one of my aunt from my dad's side. "Why didn't you tell me that you've become a Muslim? Sampai hati tak bagitau, bukan perkara tak baik pun." This raised a question mark in my head. Who told her? She's a Muslim by the way. Then onwards, after a few exchanging text messages, i finally come to a realization. I have to tell my dad before he found out from someone else. That would be worst. So, i started to type on my cellphone. "Daddy, i've become a Muslim. Ever since i'm at KTT. I am telling you via sms so that you will be clear of why i am doing this and so that you will not hear this from other people who might exaggerate the story. I didn't become a Muslim because i have a boyfriend. Not because i was influenced by my friends. And also not because i wanted to join PAS. But because i have taken interest in Islam ever since i'm at...

Mummy

Finally, after 1 and a half years(maybe more), the truth is out. I confessed to my mum about me being a Muslim. When I first told her, she was upset and angry. She asked me: Who influenced you into being one? Did u have a boyfriend? Who converted you? Did you know that it’s a big sin to convert when you are already baptized?! I was silent all the while she was bombarding me with her questions but Alhamdulillah, I feel calm and unmoved. I didn’t feel guilty at all. So I told her, Mummy, nobody forced me to become one. No, that is not the reason I become a Muslim. Do you notice that I’ve become more closer to you since past one and a half years?  And my mum said yes, you’ve become better but still… Then I said, it is because of Islam that I changed from my old ways. I used to yell at you but since I became a Muslim, I learned how to be better, to appreciate my parents better. And then she said something I expected she would say. No wonder you didn’t pass your ...
