What do u feel when 2 of your friends, yg u dah lame gile tak jumpe, meet u up with a greeting assalamualaikum, and the word came out from a chinese friend? I bet mesti smue pon pause kejap kan? Yeah that’s how my reaction was. I wasn’t so sure to reply or not because cara jawab lain kan for org kafir. Then I just stare at them, n they started talking. Ask me ni nadia kan? Nadia zainudin dari MMU? N saying like I knew both of them during foundation in MMU n dat they were in MMU just for a few months then they change to someplace else.. they were wearing tudung as well so I was like dgn tak ter cover nye keep on staring at their faces trying to remember. But I cant. So I said to them sorry tak ingat la siape diorg..maybe because they were different back then. So then they said “ both of us oso can recognize u with your tudung, how come u cannot recognize us waaaann…aiiyaa”. They laughed, n im still blurr. Haha.. then diorg intro themselves, teck kin and wai loon…then I remembered! I was like wow!!! The last time I jumpe diorg was in year 2003. n now that I know, diorg dh convert into islam n their names are Nor Asmawati n Nor Zuhaila binti Abdullah.
So we sat down in the bowling alley at sunway pyramid and talk a few things simple2 basic Q&As..then diorg wanna go someplace else because bising sangat nak talk2 at the alley. So kitorg jalan la pergi starbucks and sat there for almost 3 hours. They share their stories about how they runaway from home, plan out everything, find a place to stay so that their family members wont find them, their difficulties in facing few friends n not hanging out with them to pubs, clubs, drinking n stuffs. All hard times they went through since diorg convert into islam. N mcmane diorg dihina, dicaci by their family n all…I was like Alhamdulillah they are still strong and holding on to what they believe is true and keep on surviving just like how our nabi2 n rasul2 dulu…I am so amazed by their strengths because bukannye ape la..i sendri pon takde la sekuat diorg. I myself don’t really have that much of faith or strength to move on. I salute them on that. N how I feel so ashamed because org luar yg masok Islam lg beriman, lg bertaqwa, lg berakhlak mulia, lg bersifat rendah diri sebagai hamba Allah s.w.t. berbanding dgn kita ni yg mmg dilahirkan beragama Islam.
They were asking me kenape org2 melayu skarang macam tak takot dengan Allah? Bukan ke all of u were raised to feel scared and respect Allah and be thankful to Him for all the things that He gave to u? n they said how diorg sendri berminat gile dgn islam sebabkan ciri2 ni. Solat 5 waktu mcm always keep them occupied to do things, solat sunat, then diorg get to know about solat hajat n how DOA boleh dimakbulkan insyaallah..they said diorg lg disiplin, lg bersih, lg ade arah dlm hidup berbanding dgn diorg dulu yg takde nak buat ape2 sgt pon nk dekatkan lg diri dengan tuhan. N they even said now they know what we meant by DUGAAN. After 3 years converting into islam, now they know what’s the tests, whats pahala, dosa, n all..
Then they continue saying about how Islam taught them to live dlm “kesederhanaan”, perempuan n lelaki islam kene tutup aurat once dah baligh, perempuan n lelaki tak leh nak bersentuh selagi tak bernikah, then isteri punya aurat only meant for si suami sahaja. N they were praising the Arabs because they said those ppl mmg bagus. Because their wives mmg tutop aurat. Takkan bagi org luar nmpk sikit pon not even a hair. Mmg diorg simpan hanya untuk si suami sahaja. N they ask me. How come org melayu zaman sekarang ni tak reti nak Nampak the goodness of tutop aurat once u are baligh n u are a wife to some body? Even they noticed that kebanyakan couple melayu yg dah nikah pon pakai baju nmpk2 longkang, kain tak cukop kain, tudung takde..smue nak menunjuk2 kecantikan diorg dekat khalayak ramai bukannye utk si suami sahaja. N they said if like that nothing special about u la no wonder lelaki islam slalu ade je scandal lain tak pon tau2 mau kahwin lain since diorg pon tgk isteri diorg common. Mane2 pon diorg tgk nmpk perempuan2 yg same je mcm isteri diorg. Yg dress up like dat with no extra quality package of perempuan melayu terakhir which will make these guys stay focus on just one person. The wife. Diorg pon stress out on tudung. If pakai tudung, tutop aurat, we will have our uniqueness. Since smue pon same je tutop satu badan so the only way they want to notice our differences is through our face. Let them see n remember only one face. One small differences can bring much impact. Seriously I sendri terdiam to hear these words n sayings from them. I was so amazed n speechless. I terharu sangat2 tengok the people that I knew before mmg kafir tak tau ape2 langsung psl agama, now have become the most brilliant n knowledgeable ppl in Islam. I was smiling all the way with them.
And they even talk to me about living our lives to the fullest. They were laughing becoz they remembered that before entering islam, they were living their lives to the fullest by drinking n having fun, n sleeping with guys, and party n staying up all nite dancing and getting high n stuffs. Once they are in, they learned how to live their life tp the fullest in a better n way. Even they said it themselves, mmg Allah ask us to live our live to the fullest but dgn syarat, live by His Rules n Regulations. Not just simply ignore the rules n live life base on human rules. Because we as an Islam have to obey God’s rules since we are His slaves that we will be judged later during hari akhirat. N I just angguk kan kepale, n told them how ppl made mistakes n I admit I was like them before also n now that I dh sedar, hopefully ill stay on the right track just like how all of us have to be. They smiled at me n they said insyallah kita sama2 diselamatkan..then our time of lepak have to end because masing2 ade hal n nk blk before stuck in traffic. Masing2 takde hp number coz they r still in low profile thingy. So they said to me that next time, we will meet again..Allah will surely let us meet u again..then I said I slalu ade arnd pyramid so whenever diorg nak jumpe I, maybe pyramid is the only place where we can meet..
So..for those out there yg mmg dah islam ni..perempuan n lelaki, dis is just a story that I would love to share with u guys to bukak kan mata korang n mata hati korang. Seriously if u were at my place, how would u feel? Org luar yg masok islam lg tau byk benda psl Islam and lagi reti nak appreciate all the goodness that Allah gave to us. Memalukan betul tak? Mcm gile tak sedar diri kita ni. Well ape2 pon hidup ni, nnt kubur masing2 punya gak so ok la..hopefully readers ade yg dpt pedoman, n harap maaf kalau ade yg terasa, tak puas hati, or dpt different information through my story. Purpose is just to share from my experience. Thank you~ ^_^
Love,
