CINTAI ISLAM

Sorry guys.. Kali ni title masih berkisarkn cinta. Tpi this time, nk sentuh psl isu cintakan Islam sikit. Jgnlah kita hanye Islam pd nama. Ape yg I nk share kali ni ialah conversation chatting i dgn seorang muallaf dari Australia yg merupakn guru bahasa Inggeris I sendiri. Die baru beberape bulan kt Malaysia. Kami mmg dh lame kenal. Tpi mlm tu, kiteorg chat melalui internet. Dri perbualan tue lah, I sedar, betapa lemahnye kite sbgai umat Islam.. Hrp2 korg bacelah elok2 perbualan ni. Kaji dn dalami maksudnye. Dn renung2kanlah.. ME dalam chatting di bwh merujuk pd diri I sndiri. dan English merujuk kpd dat English man yg sudah pn bergelar Muslim. SILA BACA.

12:51amEnglish

12:51amMe

but i dunno if it will come true

huhu

12:51amEnglish

yes and marry a spanish guy

ha ha

12:52amMe

haha...hope so. but no matter what.. the people from our own race is still the one in our heart

right

12:52amEnglish

welkl i think its good to mix cultures n races

everyone the same inside

well if u want to practice come to our classes ha ha

12:53amMe

yeah it's true.. but when the different cultures mix.. especially between different religions.. they cud hardly accept Islam's culture.. so they dump the muslim they got married to finally

12:54amEnglish

i think mainly as islam is misunderstood

mm plus muslims sometimes dont respect others

12:55amMe

yeah..sometimes.. but i dunno how to fix this.. i mean.. dunno how to make other muslims improve themselves

12:55amEnglish

i had lots of negative things when i first came

12:56amMe

oh..can u tell me ur experience?

i really wanna know..

12:56amEnglish

well as i am a convert

they think im not serious

or i will never understand as i wasnt born a muslim

always say i know nothing

i think my knowledge is better than the people who criticise me

but i dont say anything

they are just ignorant and uneducasted

god knows the truth and i couldnt care what people say n think

1:02amMe

u know what... my father always tell me about this

he tells me about how muslims act badly.. like what they did to u now.

hurmm dun care bout them.

this is how they act..and they dun realize dat this is their mistake

this is far way different from what Muhammad prophet taught us

1:03amEnglish

yeah

i dont mean to be rude

but i think people here cant tell the difference between culture and religion

1:05amMe

yup..they mix the culture together with the religion.. and that makes them confuse themselves.

1:05amEnglish

people tell me that idont wear a sarong to the mosque my prayers wont be counted

well look at gossiping

everyone does it here so bad

its forbidden in islam

so many things

1:06amMe

oh god.. only certain people said dat.. bother them.. they are sucks

1:06amEnglish

but i just smile back

one guy pissed me off so bad , i was going to ask him if i could read his quran as it must be different to mine

but i cant be rude

but get this all the time here

the first month was so frustrating

but now i just smile and laugh it off

1:09amMe

u know what..sometimes i fight with other muslims.. they are just like wat u said.

they are so closed minded

and dun wan to accept other opinions

1:09amEnglish

can i ask 2 things

1:09amMe

yes?

1:09amEnglish

why do muslim women here wear white but in saudi is black?

1:11amMe

white reflects the purity of Islam.. and the high dignity

im not sure about why saudi use black.

but i think..its just about culture again

1:12amEnglish

yes

culture

women actually tell foreigners here that unless they wear white

they can not pray in the mosque

but here in saudi, them imam wear black , but the prophet wore white and arabs all wear white

is strange for me

the other is why after doa do malaysians wipe their faces ?

when i read the haddiths the prophet didnt do it

i read that people use to do it as the mosques and ground was really dirty back then (BACK THEN = MASA LAMPAU)

and would have dirt n dust on your face

it was done at the end to clean your face

but seems people do it every time they pray here

1:18amMe

ohh really? im so sad dat i dunno about dat..

1:18amEnglish

mmmm

not sure if its true or not

1:19amMe

i will ask my dad later on

becuz he likes reading haddith

emm...

1:19amEnglish

ha ha dont be sad

1:19amMe

haha

1:19amEnglish

well i just think reverts learn more than born muslims

but pls ask ur dad for me.
