revelation
was listening to a muallaf sister sharing her experience of embracing islam on the radio on the way home yesterday, i think the segment was called ‘islam agamaku’? something along that line.
and i love listening to these ppl, because…
Because this is one of the few times that i’d get back that feeling of true appreciation, of being chosen by Him to be born and raised in this beautiful religion.
and i remembered a few times her words struck me hard, and i rephrase her:
“when i embraced islam, i was sent to a school that specifically caters for muallafs and i mingled with these ppl only, and when i got back into the real world and started living among the muslim community, i was shocked, i felt cheated… because i realized islam exists only in books; it doesn’t exist in the real world.”
yes. sedih kan?
kenapa sedih?
because we all know that this is true.
