The other side of the world

Bismillaahirrahmanirrahiim.

Yesterday, i was browsing on the internet and i found muslimah’s blog, i read her writing about how she converted -or i prefer the word ‘returned’- to Islam and how she struggled with her life then she finnaly found peace in Islam… Yeah, it’s always been amazing, and overwhelming feeling to know that there’s a lot of my brothers and sisters on the other side of the world has found hidayah from Allah SWT. No matter what the colour of our skin, the differences we have in our language, our culture, our life.. we still in the same faith.. we still brothers and sisters, as long as we believe in Allah and Rasulullah.. as long as we are a Muslim and Muslimah.. Dalam islam, gak diajarin rasisme, kita gak menilai seseorang, berteman maupun bersaudara dengan sesorang bukan karena didasarkan warna kulitnya. Malah saya ngerasa seneng banget untuk tau kalau entah di belahan dunia mana.. seseorang telah kembali ke fitrahnya, kembali mengikat janjinya dengan Allah yang dulu kala di dalam kandungan ibu pernah ia ucapkan. Mungkin gak kayak beberapa negara di dunia yang ngebedain banget warna kulitnya. Agh, jika begitu banyak saudaraku di seberang laut sana, di ujung daratan sebelah… atau di kaki bukit dan gunung dekat sini.. rasanya ga ada lagi yang namanya ‘other side’. semua di satu sisi, di Bumi Allah.
