People always writing nice blog and seriously I have been always having the thought of creating my own blog.. However, I just do know how to start… what to write and what can I do with blog!!!....Finally I have decided to write on my journey as Mualaf…
Well writing this is very much challenges for me… On top of my busy time at work as PA, back home will be very busy with nieces and never had time to continue writing.. I have started the word "Mualaf" and kept it for months until today I have decided that I need to complete the whole sharing story not by showing off and mainly to share how wonderful n blessed I am being a Mualaf..
I have grown up as Chinese girl in a very big family whom followed pretty much of Indian Culture ways of living due to my granny used to stayed at Highland Estate at Labis .. Although most of my uncles & aunts have reverted to Islam, I have never practise or learn Islamic from them.. Both my parents passed away when I'm young and I have become too independent and hardly depend on my family.. This obviously created a big gap between me and Islamic..
You guys must be thinking on why I have decide to revert to Islam??
Yes… It's all started when I first decided to stay with my Muslim cousin with the reasons of using the gym to lose weight….Well... to be frank that thought and the aim will never be success when I am staying with a cousin who owns a restaurant… slowly my aim diverted to a different direction which forms who I am now…
Staying with my cousin given me so much of inspiration about Islamic way of living… seeing my cousin brother pray 5 times a day and how they get together, read Quran, being close to family member was simply amazing… Frankly I have always have the thought that Muslim will be the last thing I will ever do in my life…and now I can surely telling you that I treasure every moment of my life being a Muslim…
Miracle happened On March 2011 and this is where my new chapter of life begin…
It is still fresh in my mind that this special moment happened during my niece's trip abck to Malaysia… It happened on Friday where all my family members out of sudden plan to gather at my cousin sister place then out for dinner… Unbelievable that many obstacles happened on day.. My cousin's brothers and aunt arrived late at my cousin's place until trip delayed and everyone have to "Solat" at home instead of at the restaurant… My niece invited me to "Solat" and without rejecting it I am actually agreed towards her request to try and for the first time I am learning on how to take "wuduk". Believe or not I actually cried while taking each and every drops of "wuduk" water… Out of no way just felt that it was so meaningful to me.. The feelings are just unexplainable.
Suddenly my cousin sister walked into the room and post me a question..!!! and conversation as below
Cousin Sister : "when are you reverting to Islam"…
My Niece : she just took wudek and we want to pray together..
My cousin : seriously…?? Alhamdulillah… so when are you going to lafaz
"Syahadah"??
Me : Surprisingly I told her that I am ready and let's start the
pronouncement of "Syahadah"
It was so blessed to be surrounded with 10 family members and finally I have pronouncement my Syahadah…. we pray together, hug each and my cousin sister, aunts, uncle were very happy that finally I have reverted to Islam….
Only Allah knows how much I treasured the moment when I said my first "Syahadah".... Alhamdulillah…. everything happened in good hand and I am now MUAALAF..
After everything done… we head of for dinner at Amy Search Restaurant at Ampang…
(to be continue)
