good luck on your A levels. i m sure you did well in your interview.

i guess the person who asked yvonne ridley in borned muslim. what a shame. a good question indeed but directed to the wrong person. i am not saying that miss ridley gave the wrong answer or she was qualified to answer but the thought might be playing in her mind.

shame to malaysian 'slaves'. we were born free but we made ourself slaves. as muslims, the only person that have to be scared is our Creator. Scared that we might displeased Him. One of the doa ma'thur, often recited by our Beloved Prophet, "Allahumma inni a'uzubika minalhamniwal hazan....wa a'uzubaka min ghablati daini wa kohririjal." The last part we are asking to be free from discrimination and debts, which indirectly saying that to be free from be slaves to human and we belongs whole to the Creator. Why must we feel so timid and disable? Learn from the life of the The Great Prophet Muhammad pbuh. From a single a Muslim who later converted the whole Hejaz within 23 years.

What i am saying is that the Malaysian borned Muslim still do not understand their role and need to be reminded by a newly reverted sister. I could stll remember Datuk Dr Siddiq Fadhil said 10 years ago in tha hall of Dewan Bahasa, Kuala Lumpur,"Seorang Muslim adalah bebas merdeka dan tidak takut melahirkan kebenaran. Beliau tidak dimiliki oleh sesiapa melainkan Allah. Hanya hamba saja yang akan mula melakukan kebaikan setelah disebat dengan cemeti."

A good muslim know their role. The Iman will drive him to do good, together with knowledge to differentiate waht is good and what is wrong. To strenghten the Iman, tahajjud and zikr might make it stronger but most important of all is your doa, asking God what you want to be, a good Muslim? a Soleh person? an Abid? or Ansarullah. You ask, and insya Allah He will grant!

Good luck for the interview, sounds like it was a tiring day.

interesting analogy in the article (and quite true).

Ikelah said it all. But Having heard what Yvonne said, I hope we will be the generation of jihadis and da'ies, perhaps in our own way, but nevertheless, have the courage to put what's right first before anything else. Good luck for the interview! =)

Beautifully said by iKelah. May Allah guide us all, ameen, so that we will be true slaves of Him and no one else. I admire Sister Yvonne's enthusiasm and seemingly boundless energy, mashaAllah.

indeed! very brilliant answer.. =)

thanks!

Very interesting comment by ikelah. I believe that's when a Muslim would finally attain his goal, of pleasing none but his Creator.

Some interesting thoughts you have. I somehow stumbled upon your entry on the late Prof Muhammad's proof of the existence of God.
