Assalamualaikum
Hari ni i tersentap dgn persoalan seorang wanita di church (i pegi church pagi tadi tolong aunty angkat barang2 utk jualan amal mereka esok - so sila jgn nak jump into conclusion ok?) Usai memperkenalkan diri wanita itu (we shall call her Y) tanya kenapa dia xpernah nampak i on sundays. So i jawab, i'm a muslim., i go to the mosque. Y tanya, eh is aunty's nephew a muslim? Thats weird.. (sbb aunty adlh seorg yg agak warak in her beliefs) so i jawab, eh tak.., suami i converted to islam then we got married.. With a smirk on her face she said "hmm.. That's odd.., why should he convert to join u.. U're the one that should convert to join him.. Dont you think so?" I tergamam. Honestly, she caught me offguard. I xtau nak jwb apa.. Luckily ada sorg lagi makcik masuk n diverted her attention. So i politely say nice meeting you, please excuse me but i gotta run. Ya Allah.. Xpernah ada sapa2 yg tanya i soalan tu. Selalu kat malaya org akan kata Alhamdulillah.., syukur, awak berjaya mengislamkan JJ.. Bila ditanya oleh Y tadi sesungguhnya i xtau nak jawab apa.
Balik umah cite kat JJ and he got annoyed saying that Y should mind her own business. JJ reckons that Y is racist sbb kulit i yg olive ni (tetap xnak mengaku coklat kan?) dan my Asian features menyebabkan Y rasa diri dia superior dari i.. You all rasa macam mana? Len kali kalau ada org tanya soklan macam gini dkt i apa yg patut i jawab? I xnak tergamam lagi.. Perhaps i should google for an answer.. I mean i know why JJ converted.. But i dont think the christians would understand why. Duduk kat negara org, i rasa i patut sensitif terhadap agama dan kepercayaan org lain.. Tapi kalau mereka xhormat dan sensitif towards my belief macam mana?
Ya Allah, tetapkan imanku dan berikanlah aku kekuatan...

ReplyDeletebila nak marah but do not have a real good response ... then i senyum meleret lebih ... angguk angguk sikit ... bukan angguk tanda setuju okay ... angguk macam professor fikir ... senyum lagi sampai dia bosaann ... kalau di Brunei ... boleh terkeluar lah ... "paloi bisdia ni ... senyum senyum" .. hehe ... but if you can answer nicely without the temperature ... then you might say ... " ... hmmm interesting question ..." angguk angguk sikit lagi and don't forget senyummmm :)
boleh? Assalamualaikum wbt :)
Waalaikumusalam kak Real
DeleteThanks for your advice. Akan dipraktikkan lepas2 ni.. I think my facial expression masa tu mesti sgt pelik.. Sbb ditanya soklan yg tak pernah terpikir akan ditanya.. Tergamam, terbungkam, terperanjat dan segala ter lagi.. Haha.. Kawan2 fb byk bagi suggestion.., nanti i compile and up satu entry about it. But for the moment, i'm gonna stick to your advice.. SENYUM tak perlu kata apa2 kan? :)
