Assalamualaikum wbt.
It has been a while since the last post. Alhamdulillah I have inspiration to write up again. My apologies if most of my writing came from within my heart, inspiration by most of the people. Inspiration from my families but the most importantly it came from Allah. SubhanAllah.
Today the post is going to be in English. InsyaAllah I am trying to write it up well enough.
During awal muharram of 2012 on 15 of November, we were shocked with the news on the attacked of zionist on Palestine. The first thing I realized was that, I was shocked. But truthfully I cried after a few days of thinking about how I can help my fellow brother and sisters there. Yes, I have no power, no monetary support but I only have du'a as the ONLY help to offer to them in Gaza.
I realized that there are many issue stirring up between the non-muslim who did not understand fully about the situation that is happening in Gaza. Most people only understand the lies and deception which has been spread by people who wants to twist the truth to show their illusion of innocence. I myself do not consider to understand the matter fully or should I say not even touch the surface of it. I should say that I only have the knowledge of the thin air blowing on the surface.
Why do I say that I only have the knowledge of the thin air blowing on the surface?
We touch the ground means the surface, the knowledge that you have is you have a firm knowledge on what is going on but not the depth of it. The thin air is consider how the knowledge that you have is consider to be come just for a second and disappear. That is how I see it. I can only blame myself for not knowing.
Now, there is a lot of protest against the zionist action toward Gaza. I can only say that it is inhumane! All over the world there is protest. Even in Canterbury, United Kingdom there is one on the 17th November. Some of the students and/or residents disagree on why the Kent Palestine Society is doing this. When I was strolling down a comment which intrigues me, I read a lot on it. And it was a conversation between a muslim student here and some non-muslim student.
Among their comments, my eyes catches these line "....Gaza shot first at Israel...." and some about muslims and Islam. Suddenly my heart ache at the thought of reading all of this. Its not their fault, that these thinking are embedded within their minds. However, I urge that people would have it in their heart to learn more about the war between Palestine and Gaza. This is also a reminder for myself in order not to be tangled up in a web of lies nor some scheme to divert the truth. I do not want that!
Yes, I have lived in the United Kingdom and started to learn that people would like to know Islam as well. I lived in a house with two boys and three girls including myself. One of them is an atheist, and she asked me " What is your religion?" And I answered it simple I am Islam, are you disturbed with me living in the same house. She said No, I am fine with it. And smile.
Another one of my housemate, is an exchange student as well from the United State. She did not asked about my religion or anything. But one scenario surprise me, one night I was having dinner with one of my friend which is a boy at my house. And suddenly she came down without wearing pants, only a long T-shirt to cover her. She was surprised to see him there and she went back upstairs to wear some pants again then coming back down. SubhanAllah.. Only Allah know how much it meant for me to see her to cover herself in front of my friend. :)
