Disconnected



Sometimes after so long of disconnecting, you try to reconnect with those once close to you. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you don't. And usually when I fall into the latter category, I sometimes wish I can at least convey my heart's feelings, so that they know that my heart is saying,


"You're worth my time and I am sorry for not keeping in touch for so long. But the fact that I still want to contact you, doesn't that mean anything?"

You cannot expect them to understand. If they do, perhaps things wouldn't be that difficult and reconnecting would be a breeze. They are drowned in their anger, and still, in their disappointment towards me. But I'll keep on trying, even if it will make me look pathetic. After all, stooping low is better than feeling all high and mighty. Through this I learn the meaning of loving unconditionally, because when rejected again and again, you might want to give up and exactly at that moment, perhaps you may need to ask yourself this question,

"Why am I doing this?" And you will find your strength through your answer,

"Because I love them, and I want them to know that."

Even after years of disconnecting, keep on trying, because in the same way time hardens the heart of men, in the very same way they can also heal. 

Picture of me, self-taken at Masjid Ipoh, Ramadhan 2011.


Trying to reconnect also gives you a sense of weakness, and that is also when you realize you are just a human, and you need to hold on strong to ask for His help and guidance.

Even when you find yourself feeling defeated, persevere, because one day, Allah will give you a reason to say, 

"All that I did, it's worth it. It's really worth it."

    "If you want the love from people, stup running after it. the more you chase it, the more it escapes you. love does not come from people, it comes from ALLAH swt."
    -Yasmin Mogahed-

    be patient. Allah's testing your love, for who's sake? :')

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 ...
