A few days a go my deskmate who happened to be my super duper close friend asked me 'eh, actually malay people cannot couple one right?' hm.. I answered yes. And thats how we end up exchanging views and opinions on religion. Glad that we're both on the same page.
Basically, our idea of religion is, that it's home. Its important for a person to have a home and for them to keep faith. I believe in religion. I really do. I might not be perfect in it... oh well, who am i kidding im no where near average as a Muslim. But, I know one day I will be a better Muslim.
And ofcourse, when I say I believe in Islam, some people will be like 'Oh yeah? really, then why aren't you wearing hijjab?' and stuffs like that. But to me, religion is not a form of subjugation or discrimination. We all sin differently. Islam is not just about wearing hijjab. To me Its about faith, compassion, love , respect and acceptance. So, i might be missing a few elements in it but who are you to judge? who are you to say Im sinning more just because im not wearing scarfs? As I say, we all sin differently. Example, I might not wear hijjab but I am more compassionate and loving towards God's creature, like cats and dogs. But the girl who wore Hijjab is mean towards them. Next, I might do some community work but the hijjab girl doesnt.... But then again, I didnt wear hijjab. she did.. so? Now, who sins more?..hm...you don't know. right? I mean, thats just an easy example, ofcourse it doesnt actually REALLY what happened. I substitute teh actions done so that it would be simpler, so that you people may get the idea and see from my perspective.
And no offence but certain rules are irrelevant to the world where we live in today. The world where we dont live in our own 'groups' anymore. And honestly there are times when I question my religion but then, when it comes to religion The more I know, the more I dont know. so its better to not think of it so much and just accept it as something good. Because i believe all religion teaches us the be the best us we can be. So, when I scroll through tumblr and i see a bunch of Islamophobic posts, I feel very sad for them. Why? because they're so blinded. They can't differentiate simple things like religion is not bad, it is HUMAN that leads it to the wrong path. And then people stereotype Islam as a religion that encourages violence. And I always remind myself to keep my faith in my religion in my heart first before i try to portray it outside. I mean, from young I've been thought to look at religion this way, and that way but now, Im a little bit older, that i can think, i chose this path. but then...Insya-Allah, one day when the time comes, I will try to be a better Muslim. hehe. Hey, at least i have the nawaitu to do so.. right? Thats what most important. Thats what keeps us on track..And I really dont appreciate it when people try to decide who is sinning and who is not. If you say you're religious, you should not be doing that. cause as we know, things like these is only for God to judge and not a normal man that also sins. seriously, if you're one of them, let me ask you, who do you think you are? Lets be realistic and admit that everyone sins differently.
And if you dont believe in religion and God, I have only one advice...heeheehe. Look at it this way, If God exists and you believe in Him, you're somehow quite safe, and if He dont exists, at least you have a good home and faith to get back to in life. But if He DO exists and you're not believing in him, you're fucked later on! hehe.
I guess thats all, for the time being. If I were to carry on bout my ideas on religion, this post might be twice as long and no one would even read. hehehe. Till then, Xoxo.
