Iga Mawarni: Arguing For Embrace Islam

Since childhood I was educated in Catholic circles. In the eyes of friends I belong to the Catholic fanatic. Wherever I go, always introduce my faith. After socializing in college, I was more fair. In college I was glad to discussions with friends contemporaries that his background is different - whether tribal or religious. With the increasingly open discussion wawasanku. And from a fairly democratic mindset that we always avoid the sophist. Everything that is discussed based on the reference clear. To me it adds to the spirit of open Bible. Footnote at the same time making preparations for temen-temen same discussion at every opportunity. Apparently the more I study the Bible carefully, often met the dubious points. Finally I asked the same friend more believers understand the Bible. Even as some pastors. Whenever I ask, I'm trying to position themselves as ordinary people who want to study religion, not as a person with faith. It turned out that their answer did not exactly make my heart with my doubts puas.Seiring I slowly closed the Bible. I want to learn more.

But I'm not directly studied Islam. Because I felt something so deep ravine of them (the Islamic-Christian). Through a number of books I melanglang. I studied Hinduism, and Buddhism. But my conscience still hesitate when it comes to the concept of divinity. Although very good teaching. Er, stuck-mentoknya I also learned the teachings of Islam.

I honestly do prestige. Between averse and want to know continue to churn inside of me. "Why Islam?" my protest. The first step I read the stories of the prophets through books the commentary. The reason, Islam and Christianity were historinya same. Except about the apostolate of the U.S. Jesus and Muhammad. In the last messenger of Prophet Jesus Christian. But there was another prophet in Islam which the Prophet Muhammad. As an ordinary human being, I see that the Qur'an is more humane. This means that all questions have answers. There is the law of cause and effect. Why is this forbidden? Because it can cause this. That's what makes me attracted to Islam.

I think someone believes an early foundation of that trust because of the book (the book). Through it we can be in direct contact with him. For me it was so strong grip. While in other religions, I see many verses that were written by people at that time. And I see a few letters in the Bible that tell the same events but different versions. To me that sort of thing is a big case. Because the holy book turned out to have been touched by human hands. While Islam is more realistic. Because the Qur'an has been revealed as a necessity. Meanwhile, another apostle sunna. That is not binding. This is more humane.

The process of becoming Muslim hijrahku not so smooth. Moreover, a fanatical active Christian family. I say two sentences creed on March 23, 1994 in Malang, East Java. Though I was in college in Jakarta. Indeed during the search, I have a chum in the apple town. He was not willing to teach about Islam, but only shows someone who thinks more appropriate. Ie Zulkifli and Mr. Amir Kiai.

It turned out that one of them also converts. Many religious experience that made me impressed. In addition to strengthening my intention to become Muslim. Trials, my mother's activist church activities. Therefore I strive to keislamanku not know in the past two years. Apparently he knew earlier than I planned. For the first child my mother would place great expectations on me. Once the confidence to know her child is different, of course he thought devastated. That cobaanku greatest. Where I feel afraid that if the mother was angry.

But once everything is open, I surrender to God. I still put myself as a child, which must always respect him. I'm thankful because finally they had a better attitude. But during the "cold war" going on I never want to mention religion. When the big day either Christmas or religion Lebaran I deliberately did not gather the same family. I know, they were disappointed with me. If I attend their big day, there must be feeling awful. But the path of communication. I am constantly visiting parents. Alhamdulillah, the Lebaran few years ago, my mother met me. I think this blessing. Moreover, all this has already been set by Allah SWT. I'm sure of it.

Craig Abdurrohim Owensby: 'Qur'an Cell As Competitors Evangelicals'

Read: Craig Owensby abdurrohim, softened my heart Quran Miracles
Snatch his MBA and worked at several prestigious firms in the country, the United States, as well as enjoying worldly pleasures, did not make Craig Owensby Abdurrohim happy. Bathinnya empty. She needed spiritual enlightenment as a counterweight.

After years of pioneering career, Craig decided to study the gospel, theology, and Islam at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, NJ. Several years later he became a preacher following in the footsteps of his father a Catholic priest at a church in New York with 6,000 followers.

Although successful as a pastor, happiness and tranquility of his desire has not turned to him. Craig precisely increasingly uneasy with the concept of the divinity of Jesus that she had learned. Knowledge that he had made it impossible to believe that Jesus is Lord. "Gospel explains that Jesus is lord, not God," he said.

In the midst of troubled at heart, one day inadvertently focused attention on a friend named Nasir, who joined the group of Pakistani football.

For him, Nasir different from other team members are considered more intelligent, disciplined, and good. Nasir, by Craig, even thought to reflect the true Muslim. This made him interested in the concept of Islam.

Long pondered, Craig decided to study Islam more intensively and quit from his activities as a pastor. Preoccupations and then filled with a jump back in business, as well as explore Islam autodidact.

Hidayah Allah finally came when he was assigned to work in Indonesia around 1997. Craig Muarabaru then settled in the area, North Jakarta. In a new neighborhood, he encountered a lot of things that really touches the soul.

Craig was interested in the lives of Muslim children in this region. According to him, though poor, they live with great simplicity and still manages to look clean and happy. For a moment he remembered his childhood when he was living with his parents in Mexico and Colombia.

He witnessed how the Catholic children living there full of violent, poor and dirty. There was no reflection of serenity and peace of life. Craig felt the two things that have inspired him to learn and study the Islamic religion.

The process of finding the truth of Islam continues to be done. Until one day in May 2001 he pledged himself to Muslims in Pengajian Rahmania, Brass, with guidance Rikza Ustadz Abdullah. "I want to be someone who knows the truth. I am willing to be a Muslim because he wanted the truth. It could be that the truth of a nuisance, but I believe with truth," said Chicago-born Caucasians.

Since then, Craig was convinced by the Qur'anic teaching that human beings are born pure and become inheritors of the world. "I have now become the Caliph of Allah. Initially I Islam just by reading, thinking, and talking, but not practicing. Now I decided to run a serious Muslim."

Although the claim seriously chose Islam as his faith, converts it feels still need to 'fight' to be true Muslims. The reason, he was not an early riser. Now he must perform Subuh prayer as usual at the same time was still fast asleep.

However, he felt grateful he was able to conquer the ego. For him, it can run well Subuh prayer is a measure of ability to perform other obligatory prayers. "The first time my Subuh prayer is very satisfied and happy. After that, perform the prayers of others to be underestimated."

Do not stop there. Apparently Craig has not felt to be Muslims kaffah before Islam can be preached. He thinks there are two phases which he lived, which is to become Muslims and preaching. Now he is doing it while the second phase of business.

"Business I Cellular Qur'an, but this is not a pure business because the investment is quite big and very small financial gain," explains Craig. To him it was not a problem since the initial concept is to call people. He did not introduce it to the public business jor-fishing rod, but slowly from mouth to mouth.

Craig is the new thing when preaching to his concept of the Qur'an Cell. Concepts that provide services to study and understand the Koran and the Hadith of the Prophet through the system short massage system (SMS). Indonesian Muslim community response is very good. Proved the concept that the commencement this since July 2000, now have up to 70 pilgrims Qur'an Cell thousand people throughout Indonesia.

Cell Qur'an gives Muslim lifestyle how to set up on-the-go, whose center is a daily review (6 minutes per day, a 1-minute translation of the Qur'an, 3 minute message speaker, and the "bonus" 2 minutes murotal verses in Arabic). Craig invites Muslims study the Koran with the speaker of Indonesia's leading.

Starting on the first day of the Surah Al Fatihah and will seal after about three years, in Surah An Naas. My commitment''to make people as busy as any Muslim who can learn the Koran,''said Craig, who is fluent in Indonesian.

This is the first project in the world who want to make Indonesian Muslim as a good example for Muslims around the world. In the program presented four dai Cellular Quran Indonesian famous, among others, KH Abdullah Gymnastiar, Arifin Ilham, Didin Hafidhuddin, and Ihsan Tanjung.

Now, the desire of Muslims as well as mobile phone users who want to learn the Koran and listening to religious lectures can be fulfilled. Especially living in Jakarta, Bandung, Bogor, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Banjarmasin, Balikpapan, Medan, and Makassar. Those interested can register via SMS to 081 193 4209 or call 021-7883 1001.

Craig was sure this would be useful means of preaching because someone does not discriminate. "The Quranic movement, missionary programs, I made a means to compete with the evangelicals. We must have a strong faith and a people who are better than non-Muslim people."

Craig is not a dream if dreaming of the Qur'an Cellular to implement programs in other countries. "Insha Allah Qur'an Cellular technologies will we apply also to the whole world, among others, to Brunei, Malaysia, Bahrain, Jordan, and Egypt." He also hopes one day learning the Islamic religion through cell phones could be developed in the country of his birth, the United States.

Maria Christin Mamahit: Tormented because Islam Sign

I was born in Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi. Since childhood I was educated and raised in the environmental community and a devout Christian family, particularly Protestant Christians. Moreover, my papi, Drs. Edward Mamahit, a pastor and retired Armed Forces. As a pastor, papi often give a treat at the church. As a child, of course my hubby is required to follow the worship service is held each time.

At first my name is Maria Christin Mamahit. I am an alumnus of the Hasanuddin University in Makassar, South Sulawesi, took the Civil Engineering Department. I graduated with a degree engineer. In 1984, I moved to Jakarta. In this city I am married to an Aryan named Albert Pepa, who are also Christians. Since getting married I lived in the area of Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. From that marriage, I have four children who still small.

Actually I am old enough to know Islam. Before getting married, secretly I have been studying the Islamic holy book by comparing the Quran and its translation with the Old Testament and New Testament, unbeknownst to her husband and family.

Apparently, the holy Koran verse that I read has shaken my Christian faith. Indeed, my interest in Islam increasingly passionate, so I tried urttuk explore more widely the teachings of Islam.

After comparing my appeal, I then drew the conclusion that Islam was the religion of noble and blessed of God. Not only that, the New Testament gospels which have been the handle of Christians, it has been engineered and a lot of lies. What is clear, I've studied for four years Christology. While the Old Testament, in my opinion, there are some verses which are similar to the Qur'an, like the last statement that religion is the religion of Islam.


Muslim, and Tortured

Because excited, I spontaneously expressed a desire to convert to Islam in front of my husband. Hear my words, I see my husband's face like thunder heard in broad daylight. Just my guess is correct. My husband's great wrath.

Without any mercy, he menghujamkan kitchen knife into my body as much as five puncture. In front of my children are still small, my husband is like a man possessed by demons. He ripped my body. ... O God, my body suddenly collapsed and covered in blood. While the public who witnessed the incident was only stunned silence.

Long story short, I still affirm the determination to convert to Islam, although I know my husband and father would hate. On May 30, 2000, at the Jami Masjid Al Makmur, Klender, East Jakarta, I shared. The second child, third and fourth officially converted to Islam. My name is Maria Christin initially changed to Siti Khadijah.

What happens after I converted to Islam? After the house, the husband was again persecuted me. My body doused with hot water until the skin blisters all over body pain. While my daughter's ears are still small, seized the age of six years loudly.

Since then I split with husband. At that time, I do not know where to take shelter, so I had to stop from mosque to mosque. Last in a historic mosque in the area of Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta. Papi's heard from me to Islam, was no longer regard me as anaknya.Tetapi, I still consider him as my hubby.

After two assassination attempts carried out by the husband against me, then I am demanding justice to the Central Jakarta District Court. Until finally my husband was found guilty by a judge and be subject to penalty of two months in jail. But, before I had ever been threatened by the husband's lawyer that I should withdraw my claim to court.

Although I was tortured by her husband and disowned by his own family, by Allah, I am not afraid and scared to death. Whatever the obstacles, tests, and trials I faced, I remain a Muslim as my way of life until death. Therefore, religion is the most glorious and blessed God is Islam. Really, I do not want to get lost forever.

Finally, I am with my two daughters Anastasia joined the Foundation in Yogyakarta, a foundation that established the converts to Islam labih fostering and deepening further. Pak Kudiran, is a former pastor who invited me to join in this foundation. On this foundation, I want to be a mubalighah, Inshallah. My only prayer and beg the readers.

Kiam Oey Tjeng: Islam, The Best Way to Us

Who would have thought that at last the path of Islam is also an option for my life, so long I thought was dry and a touch of spiritual longing, as I can from the religion brought by Prophet Muhammad. this. I look forward to Islam, religion, God willing, will give the next world's happiness to me and the family. Sava was born in Cirebon, May 18, 1950 under the name Tjeng Kiam Oey. Although born a Chinese citizen, I am grateful because it is still acceptable in my neighborhood, who of course dominated by the natives.

They, the people of Cirebon, largely, almost entirely, are devout Muslims. That when I was still a child, so more or less know what it is Islam, through what is done by friends sepermainan, also an adult Muslim men who are around me. Childhood is the most beautiful part of my life, because at that time I never felt there were differences between human beings. I do not care if my skin clean and bemata yellow eyes, while my friends the other brown-skinned or swarthy, with large eyes and lips and also including the matter of religion which we profess.

I am a Buddhist that time, according to our family's religion, often also sit on the study, because my friends were there almost all of them when completed evening prayer, until towards evening. I felt, what I do when it is perfectly natural thing only, in accordance with common practice by friends of my other. What do I consider it normal, turned out not so in the eyes of my parents. Mama had scolded me when I innocently mimicking the movement of people praying, like I had ever seen while playing at a friends house who is Muslim. Mama said I should not be carelessly perform the movement.

"That movement of worship that are considered sacred in Islam. Do not indiscriminate" obey my mama reprimand. I no longer vain to imitate the movement of people praying, because I started to know if it is a kind of sacred worship execution in the Islamic religion, which must be respected.
Considered outsiders

In the end, what I been khatiwatirkan to happen, which breaks my childhood dreams about the beauty of life without meaning is no difference of birth and mental. When the school in high school, I began to be regarded as "outsiders", because I was a little different with their Indonesian people ashi. However, I still believe that it all just accepted as a mere mockery friends. Determination that there is in my heart when it was just one, though only a Chinese citizen, but I also have the courage and patriotism of Indonesia, like other indigenous.

In those days also, the religious status almost never gets my attention. I am Buddhist, just as a requirement in order not to be labeled as someone who was not religious. It lasted until I graduated high school, college Sailing Academy, and worked for several years.

In 1979, I met a beautiful girl who also ketutunan China, Christian. His name Thio Kiok Loan. She types my dream girl. She was beautiful, smart, and comes from a good family. Two years later, in 1981, according to the religion we were officially married my future wife, a Christian Catholic. Still, I refuse to be baptized and given new names. I said, "I want to marry a Catholic bride, but not to be baptized." At that time we were married in Cirebon, and subsequently settled there.

After marrying and having children, I should feel satisfied. Moreover, the effort I live in Cirebon is quite successful and make our lives sufficient, even excessive. But not so in reality. Sometimes, I feel there's something missing in me, that my religious status. Somehow, the feeling comes in the hearts and prop up my mind. But I try not to get too caught up in the situation by keeping busy road on the job.
Accepting Islam

In 1985, when I decided to move to Plered, West Java. You could say this as the beginning of the meeting I returned to Islam and the events that occur through accidental and unique. The story started when my wife was in charge of ID cards to get their religious status (unintentional) in writing of Islam, though he is a Christian Catholic. But my wife did not mind the odd mistake. He who had been not very active with activities at the church, located in the town of Cirebon, even looks fun with the district clerk's sengajaan instability.

I was so jealous, until I told district administrators to include the Islamic religion in my ID card. My request was greeted enthusiastically by the district officer, until finally there was our status as the religion of Islam, although hanva in KTP.

Selanjunya, my wife became increasingly interested in Islamic religion. So did mine. From the event's ID card, I felt as though it is the way the two of us to become a Muslim. The road to Islam between my wife and I are a little different. If my wife is perhaps more use of feelings, especially as it is tell me how is feels like wearing mukena sekah worn during prayer a Muslim woman, then I 'more use of reason or sense'.

I try to find out what Islam was through the books secretly. Alhamdulillah, after several years of searching, on 10 November 1991 my wife and I officially became a Muslim couple, via the guidance of Drs. H. Salim Badjri. Pengislaman process that took place on the Cirebon was the beginning of the Sava find happiness at this time. Once converted to Islam my name changed to HM Andaka Widjaya.

Although the first years of the party my wife's family, now named Hj. Siti Aisyah Kristanti, less able to accept it, but we both consider it as part of our Islamic way.

Now, my wife and children, living happily in Plered, opening a business that could be considered successful. I even immediately joined the Foundation Karim Oey, an institution whose members are people Peranakan Chinese who converted to Islam. Headquarters in Jakarta.

And, I was trusted to serve as the chief representative of Cirebon. And, most make the Sava happy is that my wife and I had our pilgrimage is conducted in the year 1995. It was not Allah's blessing to our family immeasurably. In my heart I said, this is the best way of life for the Sava. Insha Allah I will never again be separated from the Islamic path.

Willibrordus Surendra Broto Rendra (Rendra): Zamzam water also feels like Beverage Chevas Regal

Although he became a Muslim, but I still like drinking liquor. Offhand I would say that there is no problem with it. At that time, I always say, if I read Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, then the liquor into the water.

I certainly have chosen the path of my life as an artist. Since young, I have been crisscrossing in the theater. Even then Sava-known as "dedengkot" Theatre Workshop while still living in Yogyakarta. Theatre Workshop Through this I've got everything: popularity, wife, and also the material. It is not even half-hearted, in poverty as an artist at that time, I can bring a princess palace Prabuningratan, BRA Sitoresmi Prabuningrat, who later became my second wife.

But in fact, through marriage with the daughter of this palace, I finally declared himself a Muslim. Previously I was Catholic. Despite the long span of time after obtaining a 4-kids - my marriage foundered. However, my belief as a Muslim to stay awake.

In fact, after mating with a third wife, Ken Zuraida, I became increasingly diligent in worship and draw closer to Allah SWT. And not coincidentally, if I then joined together and Iwan Setiawan Djodi Falls in the group cantata Takwa and Swami.

For me, poetry is not just expression of feelings of an artist. But more than that, my poetry is an attitude of resistance to every form of tyranny and injustice. And that's the manifestation of amar nahi ma'ruf munkar as he always commanded of God in the Qur'an.

As a poet, I try to be consistent with my attitude. For the saga, a poet by nature becomes a mirror of conscience and humanity. Poet is not a book that could be burned or banned, nor can be destroyed citadel leburkan. He is a conscience that can not be generalized to the ground. They can indeed be defeated, but it can not be generalized to the ground just like that.


Going to Hajj

When the pilgrimage, whatever I feel like a gulp of liquor brands Chevas Regal. Drink here, drink there, it felt like alcohol. In fact, it's like Zamzam water was Chevas Regal, until I burp like a man who finished drink.

Softly, I beg. "Oh, my God, I was already begging for mercy. Mercy, have mercy, mercy, O God." I really felt afraid, afraid, ashamed, and also angry, so I wanted to shout, "What the hell? What do you mean? Do not embarrass me, please!" I just feel the water again on the flight from Jidda to Amsterdam. Alhamdulillah! I am truly grateful. After this, I would never drink hard liquor anymore.
