Not a loss, but a win.

In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Praise be to Allah,
the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds,
and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran

I bet everyone know by now about Datuk LCW's loss in the recent Olympic's badminton finals result. Personally, I am not a fan of sports, be it about football etc, I am never the kind of person to watch about it or even read about it. I found out about this through Facebook cause well, everyone's posting about it and it's flooding my news feed.

But even a person as ignorant as me can see that Datuk LCW is truly a genuine sportsman. I am really proud of him and even though he so called 'lose' but for me, his efforts matter more, and I do believe most Malaysians feel that way.

He even apologized on his Twitter and I think he needn't have done that. He didn't owe us anything but he did it anyway. It just shows someone's character don't you think?




It got me thinking, it must be hard, bearing all the expectations of his country alone. Everyone was expecting him to win and some are even ruthless enough to condescend him. I think those bad guys should just leave him alone. He's done his best and I pray that those people who wrote about him so heartlessly just so they could gain a few publicity here and there will just open their eyes and see what a great person Datuk LCW is.

I am avoiding writing his full name because well, you know, not all would agree with what I am writing here.




Anyways, this whole ordeal also made me realize how hard it must have been for Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wassalam because not only that Rasulullah have to deal with the responsibility to change the nation, that order came directly from Our creator too. Imagine how hard it must have been.

Even trying to da'wah (call to goodness) a single person is already hard enough, just imagine handling the whole nation ; every single human being, to be exact.


May Allah bless our prophet sallallahu alayhi wassalam and his families, and his companions, and those who have strived and the ones that are present now, that have dedicated their entire life to erect the Deen on this dunya.

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 ...

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...
