The Roadrunner and The Coyote

There was once a roadrunner and a coyote. They never met each other but they bumped by chance.

Since then, the coyote keeps chasing after the roadrunner, but the roadrunner always outruns him, each and every time. 

The roadrunner felt good about winning, and running away from the coyote felt like a big accomplishment, at least the best thing she could ever do, or so she thought. 

But one day, as the roadrunner ran, she decided to turn her head, looking at the coyote as she ran from him. For the first time, she stopped. The coyote, surprised at the roadrunner's behavior, slowly walked towards her, he didn't want to rush it afraid she was just playing around with him again. But she didn't. Not even when he finally met her face to face.

The coyote was confused. 

"Why did you stop?", he asked and what she said removed his hunger pangs immediately.

"Because you look so lonely."

The coyote and the roadrunner eventually talked things out and got closer by day.

"Why are you always running away?" the coyote asked one day.

"Because it's easier, and it's a lot less painful that way."

The roadrunner went silent afterwards but she looked at the coyote in the eye and said,

"I can't promise you that I won't leave you when things get complicated."

"If you do, I'll just chase after you, like I always did."

I suddenly felt the urge to write this. My father in law said that I am a roadrunner, hence, the stuff I made up.

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...
