22 things about 'Awfan

1. His full name is Wan Hamza 'Awfan. 

Hamza is the name of one of Rasulullah s.a.w. companion, who was feared for his strength by the kuffars during their time. Hamza was also nicknamed 'asadullah' which meant, 'the lion of Allah'. 'Awfan is derived from Allah's ism, Al-'Afuww (The Most Forgiving). Al Ghaffar also meant The Most Forgiving but from the Arabic language, al-'afuww means that Allah expiates your sins and your record becomes a clean slate. Which means, Allah forgives and He forgets. Al-ghaffar means that Allah forgives, but He doesn't forget; you still have a record of your sins and wrongdoings.

The reason for me naming him as such is because I want him to have the strength and spirit of Hamza, but also at the same time, have a mellow heart to find it in his heart to forgive and forget the wrong that people do to him. This is quite personal for me, because I too, aspire to forgive and forget, but I have a problem of letting go due to my compulsive and obsessive behavior. 

2. He was born at 12.47 p.m. on the 22nd of July, with epidural and via spontaneous vaginal delivery by chemical induction at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan.

3. I was a 4th year dental student when he was born.

4. He was born flat and not crying. He was then resuscitated successfully by the labour room team. Alhamdulillah. 

5. He was born 2.6 kg. I wasn't able to forget that because of the 2.6 billion scandal. What a thing to remember. 

6. He is a mix of Melanau, Malay, Chinese and Indian. 

7. He likes to engage in rowdy activities, such as jumping, tackling me (sigh)

8. He is starting to talk a lot, mostly gibberish.

9. He loves action figures. 

10. He likes to drink sweet drinks, especially vitagen.

11. I do a caries check now and then to make sure his pearly whites are healthy. 

12. He likes to play on the slides at the playground.

13. He loves running around. 

14. He likes to eat flavoured rice (nasi beriani, nasi ayam, nasi sup) and bubur lambuk. 

15. He likes to eat chocolate cookies.

16. He is more inclined to act out when he's with me than when he's with his dad. 

17. He likes to watch Boboiboy. 

18. He loves cuddling. 

19. He loves to climb things.

20. He understands simple orders or directions now. 

21. His cry is loud and deafening. 

22. His favourite parent is me (i'm 100% sure!)


Happy birthday kiddo! Happy turning into 2 years old. A critical and daunting age (sigh).

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...
