My father had studied Car Engineering course in India while he was 20 years old. Later on he brought back the Buddhism faith he learned and back to Malaysia. Since then he had a Buddhism Organization that gathered a lot of non Buddhism to become follower. I was raised up in a harmony family that have strong belief in Buddhism, visiting temples and praying is our occasional events. Bow down and prostrate to gods and monks, give charity, appreciate the meaning of life. I always wanted to know more about the meaning of life, so I was always reading the free booklets and books from temple, seeking for the eternal answer of life. Eating vegetarian lunch sometimes. Im not a born Muslim. I dont have any knowledge about Islam when I was born and raised up with my beloved family. At the same time, I wasnt amazed with any religions around me. Until the moment I tell myself, Its time to look for God. I had this thought since I was 16 years old, the time I have emptiness in my heart and feeling lost. Since the day I embraced Islam in 2008, I dont humiliate any religions at all. Because my family members is believe in Buddhism and few of my relatives are Christian. Im the only one who choose Islam. Although they seems to be unpleasant with Islam and my choice, I dont hate them at all. I am fully understand that Hidayah is a precious gift that given by Allah not human. Do you understand that what you are doing is ruining your fathers reputation in Buddhism organization? My mother said to me once my brother show him my blog and book, Dengan Lafaz 2 Kalimah Syahadah. Even though, I still take care of their feelings as my parent, I choose to step out of the limelight, writing blog without promote it in Chinese community. I dont simply walk into forum discussion or video documentary, as I rejected a few invitations before this. I wont walk into Radio station and telling how great is my story as well. In a matter of fact I wasnt in fond of RTM2 interview, but I choose to risk myself to do dakwah in speaking Mandarin. I am feeling upset whenever I heard or read Chinese comment about Islam, thats so saddening that although we live in a Malaysia with majority Muslim, the image of Islam remain negative in Chinese community. In the end I have realized that what Im contribute to Islam isnt about money and fame. All I have is only Allah SWT in my life, what I sacrificed is more than what I earn from dunya. However I believe Allah SWT has a better plan for me to continue dakwah as a blogger and writer.
