Often, I get angry at myself for not being consistent in updating this blog. Reason being, I've another private blog which my friends have access to and I think I'm more obligated to update that blog instead of this. Oh well.
I've attended two religion talks in this past few months and what I can say is, there's so much more to explore. The more we learn, the more things get entangled - the more I dig in, the more I question. Growing up, I didn't get to spend a lot of time with my family to understand my beautiful religion. All were based on my own personal initiatives. Along the way, mistakes were made but I never regretted being the person I was. Everything is a learning process and I can never say I learnt enough.
I understand that from any religious Muslims' point of view, my past often gets judged and I've been receiving nasty comments on my Formspring lately , where it became a platform where radical religion ideas were conveyed. I accepted all critics but I'm also a being who cannot not be angry at how nasty strangers looked at my past.
Because I've been learning a lot lately, I also understand as fellow sister and brother in Islam, you cannot judge other people's sins and you cannot in any way try to straighten one's path in a rough, mean, rude manner. Everyone makes mistakes and what's important is to learn from it.
While I've learnt from mine, I also hope fellow mates have learnt that there are nicer ways to get things done. One can never be a perfect Muslim - one must always learn and along the way teach and share their knowledge with the rest.
Above everything, spread the love, all. Wherever you are, I hope you're blessed with your family, all healthy and safe.
Lots of love,
Freida.
