Due to the social media, people post anything just for the clout or the presences or likes. Even without a second thought people share everything just for fifteen minutes of fame and sadly most posts that will bring fame is the idiotic or controversial stuff. No wonder early internet filled with edge lord, even until now when cancel culture is on it’s peak, people do weird things to get famous or gain success.
And if the idiotic post didn’t get the fame, people tend to the controversy stuff, like religion. Somehow more and more people post stupid stuff about religion, bashing others believe, declared atheism, converting while dissing the previous one, etc.
And recently I found this woman, a former Moslem and did porn, a woman named Mariam Hadid. Honestly it doesn’t bother me to see someone from some opposite spectrum just flipped into the other side if spectrum, usually out of spite or frustration or anything, but this woman really annoys me in some specific way.
It’s not like it’s new for someone to bash Quran based on what he/she believe or comprehend (this woman said Islam as sexist, no female prophet, or Quran taught some misleading facts like the world is flat etc. I mean it’s open for interpretation and Quran always mentioned “for those who gave a thought” or “for those who thinks” so bottom line, Quran is for those who seek knowledge, not just waiting for something bestowed on them. You found what you found when you wanted or digging into it). Her background as Moslem in New York city already hint first red flag because it’s hard to be a good Moslem if the environment isn’t supporting, you needed a good faith, conviction or strict value. And sadly this I haven’t or yet to found from her.
If she’s a strict Moslem from the beginning, isn’t that what you should do from the start regarding your holy book (this also applies to others religion)? To see whether it’s contain the truth or just fabricated lies? Whether the teaching that supposed to be your foundation or moral compass is true or valid is the first thing that you seek for the truth? I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems that you just using this as an excuse to went the polar opposite after realizing that it is easier to do things when there are no boundaries or rules, I mean, when you acknowledged there is no such thing as God, you can do “anything”, literally, unhinged (horrific experiments, sexual pleasure, shortcuts to gain success,etc).
She always mentioned that she’s a former Moslem (but still wearing hijab), an engineer still in progress from some university (while proudly announced that onlyfans, the platform she used to sell her “content” is bringing more money than her professor ever did, or any degree for that matter), so it seems that her bragging of ex-Moslem and her degree (in process or maybe graduated I don’t know or care enough) is only a ploy or scheme to makes her standouts from her contemporaries. I mean, ex-Moslem already clickbait enough material (for her new converted faith to promote the “truth”’or the “right” way, a female especially for SJW or any parties that loves to preach that Islam is sexists, confining and oppressing to women) is a recipe for success in this day and age. True liberation, freedom and all that jazz. Oh and she proclaimed herself to be women prophet, I wonder in what religion or something ha ha.
I mean, she and her “man” I don’t know husband, boyfriend or just friends with benefit just realize that Islam is wrong…what the hell are you doing as teenagers? Didn’t that the appropriate age to rebel or to seek truth? I mean this is fishy. Or maybe they just separated from parents and just have the courage to be faithless?
This is Mia Khalifa all over again. I remember that even Taliban has dead warrant for her because she’s depicting Moslem girl in porn (while she’s actually Christian). Said that her past (porn) is damaging her life and career (but she still using her stage name in order to gain enough followers). But she’s successful because of her past though.
I mean, to be honest she’s actually a very pretty girl (the arabic persian heritage did her good) and the body is also sexy, but in this day and age where people need a short cut to “success”, it’s sad to see that for boys is sell drugs and for girls is sell their body. But hey, you do you. I can’t tell you what you should do with yourself unless you ask me. This is just my opinion of a stranger that thinks that what you do is shallow and too exaggerated (like in Islam, everything that is exaggerated is not good, even the good things if it done exaggeratedly). Honestly I’d watch if her video is “released”…don’t @me, I’m a normal guy that appreciates beauty….objectively ha ha.
But as a child who grew from parents of different faith, I learned how to respect others faith. My journey to Islam isn’t as exciting as others, in a sense that my journey is “normal” devoid of miracle in biblical or Quran-ic sense.
Most people said they were “chosen” or shown a miracle that makes them convert, like met “Jesus” read a verse that makes them awe or any kind of sign of out of this world experience. Me? I just felt comfortable with Islam. The teachings and culture somehow clicked with me. That’s it. No sugarcoating or something.
I learned Catholic for 9 years and even became altar boys, and sadly my grades in Catholic is higher than Islam ha ha. But something just didn’t click with me.
For example is why you worship the son if he has a father, an almighty one. I worship the big boss not middleman, but hey, you do you.
I also learned Budhist, but the extreme one. The one with the qoan (riddle that’s not supposed to be answer, just to give thought) and the awesome quote, “if you saw Sidharta (Budha) on the street, kill him! He clouded yours own path to nirvana”….how awesome is that! This Shaolin Budha is awesome but it never clicked somehow. I still didn’t find peace he he.
I became agnostic for most of my young adult life. Livin life the easy way, carefree but still didn’t find peace. Even if the peace itself is a vague concept that I can’t comprehend or understand.
Maybe I’m lucky I was born as Moslem, though my father forced me and my sister to Moslem (pre-marital agreement that if we didn’t became Moslem the marriage of our parent is off, they have different faith) but somehow I’m glad that it became my default or factory reset religion ha ha.
As I get older I realize that I needed “stability” or order from my chaotic life. Somehow Islam is always there and all the rules, restrictions or even strict code somehow gave me…directions? As if it’s easier if the illusion of choices is being limited by the restrictions ha ha, kinda like why some people prefer apple ecosystem rather than android’s.
And it’s not I’m a good Moslem, sometimes 5 times sholat/prayer is unfulfilled by me. Or I didn’t read Quran daily, heck! I even once known as atheist (though I’m more like agnostic) or secularists. I just felt Islam is good for me. The 5 times sholat is a reminder that you have to take a step back and don’t let this world took over you (dunia is not our goal, the afterlife is). We have to take a step back to appreciate what we have and slow down this hectic world. Gladly in Indonesia Shalat prayer became my break time and gave me some sort of meditation or tranquility (though sometimes I shalat in a hurry).
Or the concept of Dzakat that reminds me that in every step that I took, every success or fails that I had, I will always be part of the bigger system. And as an instrument or parts, I need to pay attention and help other instruments in order for the whole system to run smoothly. I have to gave back to the community, at least obliged the 2,5% of my income as Dzakat and if I have more, I could Sadaqoh or helping others more either with money or something else.
And just like that, I chose Islam as my default norm. Just like some prefer Jazz than Rock or like my dad loves Juventus while I’m an AC Milan fans. I learn to respect others, even if their taste is different or even nauseating me ha ha.
I learn that you have to accept that different is spices of life and to have different point of view is actually refreshing. I love to see reviews of things from different perspective. I learned that the truth is always somewhere in the middle, just like in Islam, too much of everything is never a good thing. You have to put things proportionally.
If you hate something too much, you’d be amazed how you can bounce into the other spectrum and that’s what happened to most people. Some of my convert friends, either to Islam or to other religion, tend to abuse their newly found faith and exploit it to the point they are fed up with it and either became atheist or agnostic. I mean, take your time, savor the process and enjoy the ride.
Just a friendly reminder, if what you believe makes you attacking others that have different faith or even point of view, you gotta ask yourself, your act of attack is to defend what you believe or just your ego? A pious person wouldn’t do things that makes his believe is tainted or shame his belief.
But again, different stroke for different folk. Do what makes you happy but in a good way for you and others. Be kind and bring benefit and happiness towards everything.
