Thank you for the awakening.
I must admit, shamefully, that I am Muslim. Not ashamed of being a Muslim, no, but because I am not a fully-practising one.
What would it take for me to eventually be one - a question I have been asking myself for all these years. Finally today, I might actually have an answer to that.
Several genocides are currently ongoing. I have been reading up and sharing contents of them online. Although there are more than one, more lights are being shed on Gaza in particular. Seriously, we need to be hold accountable in spreading awareness for the other genocides in Congo as well as Sudan too. All these people, their lives matter! No argument. Period.
Back to Gaza … with all current happenings, the people there remain steadfast, especially in terms of their faith and in God (Allah S.W.T) - their faith in Him never waver. They thank Him for everything. No blame game, no gaslighting. They accept their fate.
Now this, surprise many. Many, whose faith is not Islam. Many, who grow up being taught to see and live life in a different light. And what did these surprised mass do? They read the Al-Quran; the sacred scripture of Islam. Think of it as Bible for the Christians.
These people who read the Al-Quran shared online about what they experienced - feel, learn, think and let me just say just how much it touches my heart, my soul. This is such a beautiful thing to see; people (read: non-believers of Islam) accept and understand our faith.
I feel ashamed of myself, so much more than I was before. I have been lagging far behind and for this alone, I am sorry. Oh Allah S.W.T, please forgive me. I will do better. I must do better. There is no excuse.
