Allah is no Jesus, Allah is Allah.
It has been an uproar in Malaysia on the using of Allah by the non-Muslims. At first, I did not understand what was really going on. I thought the Christians newspaper wants to write on Islam and use the word Allah. Until a few weeks ago when there was fire that was said done by the Muslims to show their anger after the court rule that the newspaper could use the word Allah.
After that, I started to find out what it was all about. And now I know. A bit, not much but at least I do know now.
Using the word Allah by the non-Muslim is common in other places such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and most middle Eastern countries. That is because Allah means God in arabic. Even in an ancient bible that I have read when I was young, the word Allah indicates God. Believe it or not, Buddhist has their own kind Bible and they also use the word Allah.
But in these two books that I have read, Allah is God, not Jesus for the Christians and not Buddha for the Buddhist. Jesus and Buddha was the messenger of Allah. But from time to time, it has been modified, I think. I did read a bible a few years back as I was staying in a hotel where that particular hotel provide a bible in the room instead of al-Quran. (So weird when Islam is the official religion for Malaysia). A few same verses that I do remember that I have read when I was young and the one that I read a few years back, has been changed. Basically, their God is no longer Allah, but has changed to Jesus. Previously, Jesus was son of God. But now Jesus is Allah. The bible that I read a few years back has totally change. Basically they change their God but still the same religion. How can that be? What has happened? Their Allah died so Jesus took over? But I do know that they do believe that God do not die. I just do not understand the reasoning of the changes.
Allah is Allah. One God. If this world has more that one Allah. The chaos is not just like what is happening now. The planets would just clashes with each other. One God wants the sun to near Mars, and another God wants the sun near moon and so many other things. The next thing we know, planet Earth are next to the sun and every little creature on Earth just burn up like we are all in hell. Then you know how it is feel to have more than one God. If you try to tell me that Allah, Mary and Jesus are family so whatever I said above won't happen, obviously, you have no family. Family do clash.
My point is, using Allah as every religion does not mean that there are more than one God. It may confuse people who has no knowledge in religion. Any religion actually. The Muslims may get confuse and pray the way the Christians pray, do not get shock there are going to be non-Muslims who goes into Masjid and pray, but their way. And who knows, they might like seeing the Muslim pray and started to learn about Islam.
Lets tell everyone in Malaysia no matter what you religion are, now to come to Masjid and pray. If you feel like convert to Muslim, why not? Your choice. Masjid is a beautiful place to pray. The art of Masjid, is just super beautiful. The feeling to be in Masjid is just a feeling that I cannot describe. I call upon everyone, lets go to Masjid and pray. We pray to Allah. One God. It is just a wonderful feeling. Do not be afraid or discourage but just be there and pray. Who knows, your next steps in Masjid may change your life forever. As in Masjid is where we pray to Allah.

The truth about me with kids
I was born as the youngest in the family. I am much younger than my other brothers and sister. Basically I was brought up alone except the first 12 years of life, I had my grandma who was staying with until she passed away.
The thing is, I was so used of being on my own, I have no idea how to take care of small kids. Be friend with them is just a big no for me. Be nice... maybe. But that was all I would do. Don't blame me, I was just not a kid person.
I have three kids of my own. Honestly, I love them with all my heart and because they are mine, that is why I do take care and protect them to the fullest. But, being a person who don't really like kids, I think I have enough with three kids. I do not want to have more. No more. Because, somehow, I am just not good with kids. Disciplinary, yup... I am. Loving mum, yup too... but no more... Seriously.. no more.
My husband do insist that we have more. To go through the pregnancy, giving birth and take of a baby and night, I really despise the idea of going through that again. It was major stress for me. I guess my husband didn't see all that. Most of the time, since my first till the last child, I spend most of my time with them. even when I was working.
even how tired I was after coming back from work, I do make an extra effort to spend time with kids. Even when I had fever. I had no helper when I had only one child. Even how bad my cold or fever, I had no choice but to stay awake and forget that I was sick and make sure that my child are safe. Especially on the weekends.
Yeah... I do not like kids, but my kids, I do love them dearly... it is just I do not want more because I really don't want to go through the whole process again. Even only for more child. I pray hard that I won't get pregnant even unintentionally. Amin.
