Just my 2 sen


One thing that I expected most when I go for my orthodontic(that's braces for you laymen) appointment is that my dentist would ask me a random question while operating on my teeth. And usually, he will ask me with a probe in my mouth and my mouth wide open, so you can imagine how ridiculous I feel when answering his question demands me conveying my point of view. So I will tell you how I manage to do that.

Dr : So Sandy, one question. Between going to an Islamic lecture and attending class at the same time, which would you choose? Go.
Me : Ahhending hlass (Attending class). *struggling* 
Dr : Why? (still not aware, fixing my braces as if talking to a gibberish patient is normal)
Me : Hecause hit his hai heshonsihility (Because it is my responsibility)
Dr : I see.

All the time I was afraid I might spit on him accidentally but enough on that. 

So, he ask me that because he was worried for his one student who skipped clinical session just to attend an Islamic lecture all the way in KL and he was worried that the student might not meet his/her requirement to pass so yeah, his worries are understood. 

My reason for saying that, is not because I say that attending Islamic lectures are not important. Yes, it is good but it is not a compulsory to attend the lecture. Attending your classes/clinical sessions are compulsory, especially for us sponsored students. We have to fulfill our responsibility towards our parents, sponsors, and especially the community who have paid their taxes and will need our services when we graduate. 

In everything we need to weigh what is more important and what is fardh(wajib) and what is not. The problem comes when we fail to understand what comes first and the result always ended with us losing something. Of course, I am not implying that I am always right. Sometimes I too can be clouded by my own wants but yes, thinking about what will happen if I don't fulfill my responsibility helps set me back on track. 

Set your priorities, but base your priorities on your responsibilities and not your wants.

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 letter for you

Date: 4th of September 2009 Assalamualaikum to my fellow sisters and brethrens, who will be one of the occupants in Jannah, insyaAllah. First of all, this is a letter that I composed to all viewers. A letter full of my real thoughts and dwellings, a letter of hope and pain, a letter of almost the truth. So here goes nothing. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Dear brothers and sisters, The thing that triggered me to write such a letter is a post, that I read on someone’s blog. It reminded me, well, of about everything . Every single thing that I worked for, every single thing that I fought for. Yes, my story had started long enough, ever since I was back in high school. 2007.... My friend was fasting. I felt excited because I tried fasting too and it’s in the fasting month, yes, I remembered it well. I followed my Muslim friends where I woke up early for sahur and break my fast at Maghrib. I was doing it because I thought it would be fun and why not, since I was dead eager to k...
