#reverts

During the Q&A session of my Maal Hijrah talk in NUMed, one of the questions posed to me was about the statement 'reverts have better understanding in Islam'. 

It is true though that it is expected that those who searched and become a Muslim by their own choice have a greater attachment with Islam, compared to those born with it (no offense). But there are also people who were born into a Muslim family, and still become a Muslim whose stand is better than those of the said reverts. So it wasn't really about being a revert or not. It is really more about how you manage the hidayah given to you I think. 

There are those who I know choose to become a Muslim but when faced with trials, they back away from Islam, and started to stray. It was so disheartening to see all that happening and when it happened you can't even do anything about it because they have decided not to be close to you and those who they think will 'drag' them into Islam again. 

It's nobody's fault but you can't help but feel sad when it happened right in front of your eyes. 

It is amazingly easy to change someone's perception but to maintain them is another thing. 

To tell you the truth, from time to time, there are a few not yet Muslims who came to my Facebook page for advices and alhamdulillah, most of them came back to me and informed me of their reversion after some time. I am glad that I can play a part with helping them in some way, even just by telling them my experiences and sharing what I feel is right, and I am also touched when they make the effort to come back to me just to tell me of the decision they have made.  

I really love helping them because I know how hard it is to decide and alhamdulillah, I am glad that I am still a Muslim till now even though I have faced a lot of things. 

It wasn't easy so I understood when some of my fellow revert friends just stopped being a Muslim but that doesn't mean that I agree with what they were doing. 

So if you have a not yet Muslim friends who may need advises, you can always refer them to me. I'll be glad to help.

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 ...
