One Love

after months of rushing after work every tuesday evenings,twisting the throttle during the peak hour traffic to reach the class on time,me and marlia finally have completed the 'basic knowledge in Islam' conducted by Ustad Bani Ali at Darul Arqam.and despite our busy schedule,we've never failed to attend every single class.the class was conducted in english,and was actually intended to guide those who wants to embrace Islam,but there were quite a handful of born muslims as well who like me,attended the class as a 'refresher course.'there's a japanese,a thai,a polish guy(who asked difficult questions) and few chinese who were in the class.nevertheless we were all there to gain knowledge about Islam,and Ustad Bani was one of the best teacher that i've ever met.

and one of which he said,that it's not appropriate to use the term 'convert' to those who choose Islam as their new religion,the more likely word is 'reconcile' or 'embrace.'and reconciliation of Islam,not only apply to those new muslims,but those born muslims as well,as often without realising we tend to neglect our submission to God and therefore needs to 'reconcile' again.and Islam is not about terror as what the media hyped about,we're supposed to be detached from materialism and live in harmony and peace but the world today is totally the opposite,which mark the dawn of the end of time.

now i'm waiting for the next Sirah course which will commence soon.
