Da'wah activities in July 2012( 2 July-7July )
When the period all university student in holiday and enjoy their time to go back their hometown, we in Sharing Islam Team spent a few our holiday to do a Da'wah activities. Maybe it hard and test our mind "Want go back home early" but because of Allah, we do this jobs.
Alhamdulilah (Thanks to Allah)
We in Sharing Islam Team (Under PERKIM UUM) just finish our project at Perak and Penang.
In 2 July 2012, we went to Native Village at Kampung Selao Oi, Grik (Perak) for one mission. That mission is to call all citizen at that village embrace Islam. For me, it not easy not so hard because that is first time I went to native village and make Da'wah to native people. They not influence in Malay and surely don't know how to speak English. As long time we in Sharing Islam Team make Da'wah to university student use English. But this time, the situation are different.
In this village have about 14 families (around more than 115 people live in that area) and they know nothing about Islam. This village also don't have a water like in our house, electricity and a poor road to connected with that village.
Thanks to Allah, we finally bring all of them enter Islam and all of them agree to embrace Islam. I can't forget how we lead Syahadah to them and some of them also want learn how to pray. We hope next time they can improve their knowledge about Islam and have one Ustaz or Imam will stay in that village to keep in touch for their progress.
7 July 2012,
Our second project is Street Da'wah at Masjid Kapitan Keling, Georgetown (Penang)
On this project like our first project (Street Da'wah at UUM) but this time, quite different. We will be a person whose will lead and guide them for visit mosque. They will enter mosque and I as person whose will guide them will share about Islam to them. Such as how muslim pray, ablution, time to pray, recite Surah al-Fatehah (first chapter in Quran) and finally waiting if they show any interest to ask more question about Islam.
Majority of visitor are foreigner from Korean, Japan, Taiwan, China, Europe, USA, South America and not forget, the local people especially Chinese community around Penang. They shock that actually non-Muslim can enter the mosque. They though that they can't enter mosque because their muslim friend told to them like that. We know this situation will happen. So, we clarified about this issue to all of them. They also happy when we give a free give to them like the translation of Quran in English and Chinese words.
Some of them show their interest about Islam like the university student and secondary school student. We also have a little debate with Christian follower about the position of Jesus Christ. But it just for sharing and if good for both of us. They also get a new information that we muslim also not anti-Christ and they shock and want continue our discussion about this. But overall, everything move in smooth.
Have one visitor that we never imagine will visit in our mosque during that time. That person is Chief of Minister for Penang state (YB Lim Guan Eng). This can give a good image about this program in non-Muslim eyes. We hope all non-Muslim leader in will act like Lim Guan Eng.
May Allah bless all of us and give hidayah to all people who are not yet muslim. InsyaAllah.
