27/02/2007 12:08:03 PMI'll be concern about why this person wants to discard the religion. I think that this person have very little knowledge of what Islam really is and prob mix the essence of being a Muslim to the culture in which he/ she is in. Personally i'll feel sorry for him.
Form what i have observe about people who discarded Islam, they were seriously miss-informed.

27/02/2007 9:19:37 PMIm a malay. And I WAS a muslim. I just cannot find peace with Islam. I search for the truth. I search for God. But he was nowhere. I suffered lots of hardships. So do my family. Not monetary btw. Something else. And to see my mum praying hard.. went to Haj, and yet still suffer.. i come to realise.. they isnt any God. Or rather.. I was born in a wrong religion.
Thank heavens my life is now contented with my new faith.

28/02/2007 11:17:58 AMIf a person truly believes that there is a God (Allah, whom there is non other worthy of worship except Him), and that He is the One true Creator and Sustainer of the universe, believes that He has a way of life for His creations (Islam), and he wants to do Islam sincerely, why would that person change their mind later on in their lives?
Btw the `most highest sin ever’ in the sight of Allah is to commit shirk (ie creating partners with Allah) and this as Allah said in the Quran, He will never forgive.
I personally do not know of any Muslims or friends who have converted or fall out of Islam, but I do know that there are malays who are not Muslims, just as I know that there are arabs, in the middle east who were born Muslims but are not Muslims anymore, just as I know that there are arab Christians, and arab Jews.
What I would do if came to a situation where a Muslim I know thinks about converting out, is to ask that person what he knows about Islam, what is Islam to him actually? Is it something that a person is born into? Something that a person does just because their parents, grandparents are doing it? Something restricted to malays?
Probably this person doesn’t know much about Islam, or he asked questions and did not get a satisfactory answer, brought up in a family where Islam was not practiced properly or fully, praying five times a day is too much or whatever the reasons…we can try and tell him about what is Islam and why Islam, but we cannot force anyone to believe if he doesn’t want to, bearing in mind that whomever Allah has chosen to guide, non can misguide, but whomever that Allah has chose to led astray, non can guide.
If the reason for a malay who WAS once a Muslim to covert is due to hardships or suffering that he/she has experienced, we say that this life is a test. Allah allows some people to suffer in order to test their patience and steadfastness. Even Allah's Prophets and Messengers were made to suffer. Prophet Ayub (Job) is mentioned in the Quran as a Prophet who was very patient.
Good people sometimes suffer but their sufferings heal others and bring goodness to their communities. People learn lessons from their good examples. Martyrs die for their faith, soldiers give their lives for their nations and this brings liberation and freedom for their people. Allah sometimes allows some people to suffer to test others, how they react to them.
This world is not a permanent world. Neither the good things of this world are forever, nor the bad things eternal. We are here for a short time and we are being tested. Those who pass this test will find an eternal world that is perfect and permanent. Those who fail this test shall see the evil consequences of their sins and corruption.
Quoted by Supreme Royal :
i come to realise.. they isnt any God. Or rather.. I was born in a wrong religion.
Thank heavens my life is now contented with my new faith.
Does ur new faith involve the believe in the existence of God??

28/02/2007 6:49:05 PMto say that you converted because of suffering is kinda..doesn't makes sense. i dont intend to be secastic in any ways...but it doenst make sense to me.
everyone suffers, everyone have their hard days..Muslim or not. weather they believe in god or not. Being a Muslim doesn't give you a free ticket in life.
I don't recall any religion saying that you will live free of suffering in this world. even an atheist wouldn't say that you will live in this world without some bumpy road.
New question would be..why is there suffering? to say that its just a test? Why is there bad and evil? that just says that god is not the kind and a supreme being like will not gain anything from all this. what is the purpose? since everyone suffers?

4/04/2007 12:13:02 PMi'm happy for you that you have found your right path.
I hope you didn't get me wrong. i attached the video for other people to watch since it's related to this topic.
although...one of the question above was asking you for the title of the books you've read. i love to read any types of books. so would be nice if you can provide us the title. :)
i can understand why anyone would convert, since Islamic books or media or scholars will not be able to provide real answers to questions and doubts about Islam.
cheers,
ps:looking fwd to book title/s :D

19/07/2007 3:34:39 PMI feel responsible for it as well. I keep thinking about how little I have done to protect & promote this religion of ours. Hence, I need to take part of the blame for it as well.

28/07/2007 2:38:32 AMI feel so sad and helpless when I see my own muslim friends committing acts or saying things that's clearly against the religion and they're not even converted to another religion yet. I don't even know how to handle if they converted.

14/08/2007 9:11:01 PM'Care' and 'sad' are rather too strong a word. If i have a friend who converted from islam to something else, I'd just be shocked but I won't freak out so much. Especially if he/she doesn't become a worse person after embracing the new religion (or after embracing religionlessness). But i know i'll get irritated if they start trying to influence me to embrace their new religion.
For me, i personally dont like to 'recruit' people into my religion, so i'd appreciate it if people don't do the same to me. I believe in unity and i'm fine with people choosing whatever religions they want, as long as they dont burden other people. If a fellow muslim converts to another religion, sure, by all means, get upset, annoyed, angry etc, but eventually we gotta move on. I would only freak out if i see drastic negative changes in that islam-leaver. For e.g, if he/she starts to be violent towards me, or starts stealing, starts being a drunkard, etc. But if there's no negative change then i wont get too worked up on his/her leaving islam.
In addition, the person's exit from islam mustve already because of reasons strong enough for him to decide to leave the religion. You can try to talk him into embracing islam again bla bla bla, but if he still does't want to, there's no use in forcing them.

18/08/2007 7:19:21 PMIf my muslim friend convert to other religion I'll try my very best to counsel him, talk to him and try to find out the real reason for his actions and then reason him out. I must find out the answer to the big question - WHY?
That said, I also believe that it is Allah who gives Hidayah and Guidance. We can do so much but at the end of the day it is Allah who guides us in his path. "Verily God guideth whom He will".
The Prophet himself could not have converted his people if not for God's guidance and assistance. I always pray that God guides me and my family in His path. May the force (God's guidance and assistance ) be with you.

What do you guys think about it? I know that Muslims worldwide view that as the most HIGHEST sin ever.. some countries even give out harsh punishments for it...but what about Muslims in Singapore? Do you care if your once muslimed friend converted?
How do you all feel about that?
