Being what is expected as a Muslim in a foreign country.

-
Assalamualaikum.

For your information, recently, I had passed my A-Levels and had been given the wonderful opportunity of furthering my studies abroad. 
This is actually my second week in New Zealand. 

So, I think I would like to share something today. 

One of the things that amaze me, being in a foreign country, is how different the 'racist' issue is, opposing to the way the media had been portraying it.

Instead of being judgemental and mean, non-Muslims are actually curious as to why we're wearing a hijab, as an example. They aren't close-minded, they just don't understand. Everyone has a different way of facing their fear of something they don't understand. That's just how human are.

My point here is that instead of enhancing the hate built by the media through their portrayal of Islam, help the non-Muslims understand what Islam actually is. Be the Muslim that is expected of Islam. As cliche as it seems, you can actually make a difference.

Assalamualaikum.. Recently, a video went viral in Malaysia, where a women carrying her small child was seen 'lashing out' to her husband in the middle of a mall when she discovered that her husband had been cheating on her with another women. The video showed that the women was scolding her husband who was with his girlfriend in front of everyone (including the child she was carrying), and the video ended with the wife slapping her husband. Here's the videos; Soooo.. Let's talk about one particular comment on this video, which is; "buat lah kat suami awak mcm tu .. nak bagitahu je syurga bawah kaki suami .. mcm mana pon dia tetap suami awak .. pangkat dia adalah paling tinggi selepas Allah dan Rasul bagi seorang isteri  .. dia SUAMI .. sbb tu dlm Alquran disebut isteri kena PATUH..", (Someone on Twitter, 2018) This person did reply to several of the comments on this particular tweet, so we can see his stand on this issue. Okay. This is what...
