test of faith.
The test of faith finally took its toll on me when i was questioned presumably by a staunch christian the validity of KORAN (Al-Quran) in comparison to its HOLY BIBLE.
No we didn't have any argument of that sort; although it sounded more of a preaching session on his side. we had a mere discussion about the perception of both religions with regards to the Judgement Day and the prophets or descendants whatever they may call them, how well my understanding of the KORAN itself not before asking the infamous question of why i have to wear the hijab and yada yada and the link between Jesus and Allah in Islam; with most of the time staying away from sensitive and provoking questions. interesting it may seems, it certainly enlightened my understanding on what christianity is all about. at a point of time he believed that our religion is the same and not similar as what i presumed it to be; asking me then which religion i should believe is real that caught me offguard for awhile. i knew certainly he was definitely preaching. my answer: you take your stand, i take mine.
i never appeared to be as much religious or staunch as some other of my friends back then, but to be provoked in this manner i had to digress and make a point somehow.
my 10 years in madrasah certainly helped a fair bit in counteracting the misbeliefs he had on my religion. however he made me realise more that i had not been reading on it as much now. phew i'm glad i still remember the most basics of it all.
ok enough on that.
somehow i feel october is not my month. will blog more on that when i'm in a better mood. till then.
