I was on my way home, naik LRT..

Turun tangga..nak tunggu lrt..smbil pegang buku ISLAM : THE MISUNDERSTOOD RELIGION karya DR.DANIAL ZAINAL ABIDIN sebab nak habiskan baca..

Time turun tangga tu dah prasan dah ada org perhati..turun2 tangga je kne lalu depan org yg perhati tadi..lelaki.
dia sgt berminat tengok buku yg
sy pegang tu..tp sy buat biasa je la..

Suddenly..
A ( lelaki tadi ) : Assalamualaikum
Tapi sy x dgr sgt..then dia repeat ..
" Assalamualaikum "

*dalam hati.."eh..dia Muslim ke?"

B ( Me ) : Waalaikumussalam

A : You read that book? about Islam? you're Muslim right?

B : yeah..Alhamdulillah,i'm Muslim..
This book?ouh,juz to gain more knowledge about Islam to help me explain about this religion to the non-Muslims..

A : ouh..haha..funny right,Islam is there,but not Muslim..
( * time ni sy x clear sgt apa dia cakap )

B : where are you from?

A : I'm from Palestine

B : Palestine?really??are you Muslim?

A : I was, but then I changed.

B : u changed? do u mean have converted?

A : yeah..now I'm free..a free thinker..

B : but why?

A : hmm..THERE'S ISLAM..BUT THERE'S NO MUSLIM IN THIS WORLD..

B : wait..what are u trying to say?

A : ouh my god,u didn't understand me..
B : no, no, just confused, do u mean..THERE'S NO REAL MUSLIM NOWADAYS?

A : yeah..hmm..Islam is the best religion right..the real religion, you know right??

B : yeah..I know..and I Believe..

A : me too,I believed but..huh..there's no Muslim..

Die nak cakap..dunia sekarang ni TAK WUJUD DAH INSAN YANG BERGELAR MUSLIM..ISLAM ADA, TP MUSLIM DAH TAKDE

Then..sy trus tanya..
B : if u said so, why don't u try to be one? the real Muslim I mean..

A : huh..good question..hmm..TO BE THE REAL MUSLIM IN THIS WORLD,IT'S IMPOSSIBLE..IF YOU WANNA BE THE REAL MUSLIM, YOU CAN'T LIVE HERE,YOU CAN'T LIVE IN THIS WORLD..EVERYTHING CHANGED SISTER..THIS
WORLD WAS SO CRUEL TO US, THEY CLAIM US AS TERRORISTS..

Sy terdiam..terpaku..terkaku..mcm2 benda dtg singgah kat otak..tp x tau nak cakap apa..otak jam..
Dia smbung lg..

A : I saved half of Al-Quran in my heart..my mind..I'm a HAFIZ also..I wanna ask you, you pray 5 times a day, right?

B : yeah,alhamdulillah

A : we face the Kaabah as our direction for solah..where's our FIRST QIBLAH?

B : Masjid Al-Aqsa..Baitul Maqdis??

A : yeah,but now it's sold,it's sold,it's sold sister, the jews conquered it..
( * muka dia mcm kecewa )

Tetiba...
A : i'll stop at KLCC

B : ouh,ok..
( sy proceed baca buku tadi..time tu part JESUS, SON OF GOD )

Die trus tanya..
A : where's JESUS born?

B : I don't know..where?

A : you don't know? but u called yourself Muslim..he was born at (apa ntah nama tmpat dia..x clear sgt sbb bising dalam lrt )
