Thank God It's Ramadhan!

To those of you allergic to the usage of the word God, let me remind you that the word God does not have any relation whatsoever to it's usage in other religion and the usage of the word God will not automatically disowns you from Islam. I find it interesting when I was told off when I exclaimed "Oh My God" the other day. It's not that it's not good. It just won't give you any benefit from saying it. So don't simply say that it's not good to say it. There. I've said it.

Anyway, these few days that I have been missing, I had to settle a lot of things. On Saturday I moved to Kota Bharu because we (me and my husband) will be living there for one month because he's doing his Psychiatric electives here in HUSM. He somehow got the department that he opted in the first place although the letter stated for him to report to Neuro department. Anyway, alhamdulillah.

Then on the next day, we kind of binge-ate because it's nearing Ramadhan and I don't want him to miss eating at Nasi Ulam Cikgu and Food Village. For lunch it was a whole fried chicken and a large fried catfish and lots of greens and lots of budu + tempoyak and later at dinner we ate barbeque of lots of red meat and prawns and we were like stuffing ourselves, enjoying food to the max, which we rarely do. Simply said, Sunday was heaven. I guess it was due to the delicious food overload that made us delirious and we decided to go to Tumpat on a bike at 10.30 p.m. for a surprise visit to my in laws who were resting there before they return to Seremban. We're all like, "We are really doing this woohooooo"

I don't really remember what happened afterwards but I just know that I was too preoccupied with class and study group sessions and what not, and add not having internet connection at home, so yeah, that explains a lot for my short term disappearance.

So. Yesterday was the first night for tarawikh and boy, isn't that awesome? I don't know what you guys feel in general about Ramadhan but I always feel somewhat excited when Ramadhan comes.

I don't really have to explain why since Allah has already given us the answer long before we were born. :)


2:183
O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. {2:183}

May we come out of Ramadhan a better person than before, and even better, more righteous. InshaAllah ameen.

Salaam Ramadhan al-mubarak. May Allah's blessings be with all of you.

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...
