Assalamualaikum to all,




How is everyone doing? inshaAllah great by the blessings of Allah SWT. I recently read a post from one of my favourite writer and she is a revert too! I have attached the link for all of you to read it. unfortunately it is in Malay language and I think you can turn on the translation to English if your reading it in Google Chrome..

http://pukullima.blogspot.com/2009/12/yuck-daging-babi.html


What she wrote is about the dilemma that almost all the revert are going through. It is different if you would compare to those in the west but in the east, the family unit is quite orthodox here and this are the main reason for those reverts to live in the shadow and not being upfront about their reversion. just briefly here....


"You may think why don't those reverts inform their parents..
Well that's because most of them are still studying in schools and colleges and still living under their parents because of the need of money for tuition fees and even for themselves.

So, when will they inform their family?...
Not sure..sooner or later cos their are still figuring out the means to inform their family. Some of them don't want to lose their parents because they will get furious. Some are waiting for the right time because their parents might be old and sick and shocking confessions like this might end up in worst case situation.

How will they live as a Muslim if their parents are not aware of it?
If you've already embrace Islam,things should be told. Illegal non-halal food, Obligatory prayers, fasting during Ramadan, The women's aurah

What is their status then?...
That is the problem. You are born as a Muslim, you do not discover their problems converting to Islam. Those who we call 'closet Muslim'  for not declaring it. They dare to revert to Islam after learning Islam and truly believe that Islam is the religion of truth, and they may have threats by their families to end college funding terminated / uni if their families know. There are more and more of them, but because there are not yet signed up as Muslims in the Islamic religious department, we have no data. Can not be detected unless they themselves tell."

In terms of performing salat, till today I had to sneak when I perform my prayers. sometimes I need to skip my prayers and when it comes to food, I need to take extra precaution when it comes to the food that is being prepared at home. It is not easy especially when your parents notice your changes and things that your abnormal instead of thinking positively about it.

What the Muslim community think is that, maybe some NGO should help these reverts but the truth is you are their brothers and sisters, you are their family, you all belong in the same ummah, so who is the one suppose to help them? don't burden them with what is halal and haram but instead educate them, encourage them and be there for them. Like one of the brother who commented below the post, a revert is like a baby. Do you burden the baby to start walking and eating and talking? no! you make them take small steps and encourage them. if you really cant reach out to them and help them, then make du'a for them so that Allah would ease things for them. 

But instead things were happening the other way around. Muslims asking the reverts to make du'a for them because we are the new born baby and our du'a is more powerful. What is that? Since when does Allah differ in hearing to du'as? 

These reverts has declared themselves as a Muslim. They have strengthen their aqeedah and what left is just the practise that their trying to learn and get use to

Be a support system to each other

"O you who have believed, if you support Allah , He will support you and plant firmly your feet." (Muhammad 47:7)

Assalamualaikum to all,





" @WardinaSafiyyah: If u have a problem with people who are trying to improve themselves & get silly ideas, then go play far away with people who dont... #SHOO"

Recently i read few tweets from a famous Malaysian artist, Wardina Saffiyah (by the way, she's my most favourite! :D) regarding the deen of Islam and she was oppressed because of voicing it out based on what she learned. 

Something i love about this wonderful lady was that she was a famous artist ones but then Allah bestowed her and she grabbed her hidayah and Alhamdulillah she is one of the influential women in Malaysia. 

Things unfortunately wasn't easy for her. The society actually tore her up when she was sharing her experience and knowledge. People reminded her about her flaws, her past and whatever they could imagine to her and yet, MashaAllah Allah made her strong day by day! There is a saying that i remember from sister Yasmin Mogahed, Allah SWT elevates the believer to a higher status by the pain He inflict a man. SubahanAllah! Allah loves her sooo much! God is always kind and merciful right!  

The reason i wanted to share this to all of you is that, as a humble servant of God, let us always be humble in what we do. Things will come in many ways to stop us but most importantly, when you do something for the sake of Him, He is always there to help. If you have found the light, go ahead and try your best in performing your deen. We all can make a change for our beloved ummah.

To sister Wardina, I've never met you in person but I've seen your videos and talks that you have given  and MashaAllah, i love your courage sister! You are one of the Muslims that strive to be better and helping us your fellow brothers and sisters to become better by your action itself! May Allah SWT always shower blessings upon you and make you stronger day by day. Do keep on doing what you do for the sake of Him.

Waalaikummusalam warahmatullah ~

If you feel no shame, then do as you wish

In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Assalamualaikum to all,

Alhamdulillah for the past few days, i have been finishing what i've intended to do but sadly i received a sad news that one of my friend who was a part of being my guide will be off to work and her placement is still undecided. Well, why im sad? She might work far away and im still learning to know her and making my deen stronger! im so hoping that she wont be getting places far away from me! inshaAllah!

Ok, that's a little about me there :D

Well, today's entry has something to do with the title above! 

"If you feel no shame, then do as you wish" Prophet Muhammad SAW

That is really a direct statement subahanAllah! this got me for good and i thought back to what my close friend had told me once that shyness is part of a human's modesty and when you don't have that, nauzubillah! let's make du'a that we never will come close to that! 

There is a reason i picked this quote sisters and brothers! recently i came across an incident. One of my non Muslim  friend, Sahana (not real name) has asked me a question. 

Sahana: Sister, i'm actually in a dillema! why do Islam has so many haram and halal in everything they do in their live? why is it so complicated? and dont they get confuse?
Me: The reason there is haram and halal is like having to differentiate between good things or bad things.For instance,  Islam prohibits alcohol is because scientifically, its not healthy and in the long run there are so many effects. You may say that  alcohol consumed in a less amount wont make any difference but Islam prohibits from the root itself.
Sahana: it is true sister! eliminating from the root itself! but then sister, why my Muslim friend who doesnt want to drink from my water bottle even though i'm vegetarian and she still says its haram,  would rather have her boyfriend back home with her? Isn't that haram too?
Me: ......(speechless) 
So sisters and brothers, any answer for my friends question? its a shame when your Muslim fellows talk about haram and halal but in return, they don't follow it. 


A humble request to my sisters and brothers out there, please please please don't just follow without knowing the reason for doing something. Do make an effort to learn Islam and what it truly is because mashaAllah it's a wonderful religion! you can have so much of facts learning what Islam is. We do have our own flaw, but don't continue doing it. Repent!


Do not commit zina. if man knew what was his limit, he would be the perfect servant of Allah SWT. Shaaitan doesn't only be around us but its within our own nafs. Today we see many people throwing of their babies which results from before marriage sexual conduct. it looks like we went back to the jahilliyah times except this time, we don't kill the baby girls but the baby boys too! love is wonderful but wait for the right one. when you've already have the right one, make du'a so that Allah SWT will bless the relationship with a marriage but at the same time, don't loose yourself. Things can wait. If he/she is meant to be with you, he/she will wait. always put Allah SWT first and ask for His guidance. There is no tawakal if you don't to change things. 


Love you all for the sake of Allah SWT :D
