UAI phenomenon

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

NOTE: I wrote this last night

I just came back from a UAI talk here in Seremban. My intention was to fill my time with something beneficial rather than the mindless cartoons I have been indulging lately, which I have to say was quite severe considering the fact that I actually played tug of war with my 3 YEARS OLD nephew for the TV remote control...

Anywho, so my sister in law told me about this programme, or the 'kuliah perdana' here in Seremban. So I decided to join her and I have been itching anyway to see what is it about this particular ustaz that excites the  country to the core.

The ustaz arrived an hour late due to the heavy traffic in KL so he arrived some time around 8.30 pm (the lecture was supposed to be a 'kuliah maghrib').

Oh, just an interesting note of observation, there's a lot of people and we were almost packed like sardine in a can, and we actually sat on a field. It's really spacious but again, there's like the whole China of people there. True story.

So it would be almost impossible to know when the ustaz would arrive if not for the ruckus that these guys caused upon his arrival. I almost forgot that I was at a religious talk setting because it does feel a lot like I was at a rock concert. And yes, UAI is a rock star, apparently among these youths.

People were standing, squatting, name it. Everyone was so eager to listen to him though I couldn't help but wonder what is their main goal of coming since I only saw them lighten up when the ustaz made funny commentaries(which to my dry sense of humour, he is INDEED hilarious).

Nonetheless, the talk was great and since the new year is approaching, he talks about 'niat' or intentions and it was great. I said great too much didn't I?

His talk got me pondering about my own new year's resolution...and yeah, it seems I have a lot to resolve. So I'll be spending my first Awal Muharram as a wife with Mr. Zauj in Johor.

This will be my first time ever travelling alone to Johor by bus and I can't wait for tomorrow!

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 ...
