what will they ban next..

yesterday, the national fatwa council banned yoga. i have done yoga n i certainly don't remember any form of chanting or meditation. it was purely stretching exercise that left u feeling very relaxed afterwards since ppl like me tend to get stressed out fast n get all their muscles in knots! Alhamdullillah, my faith in Allah is still intact even tho i practiced yoga.hubbs went to a few yoga sess with me and even he can't remember any chanting/meditation. in fact, he has coined the term goyang for yoga which is purely exercise :))

another practice that has its roots in hinduism is merenjis n drawing of henna on the bride's hands n feet. hmmm...will they ever ban that? i doubt it very much.

a few months ago, they banned girls fr dressing up like boys...tomboys. i used to have my hair really short, hardly wore dresses or skirts, climbed trees n didn't play w dolls...but Alhamdullillah i am now a wife w one daughter. yes! i was very much a tomboy but i didn't have any probs w my sexual orientation. what i don't understand is why is there no fatwa about men crossdressing. all those mak nyahs w implants etc. shudn't they be banned as well?

my opinion is faith in Allah is ingrained in u by your parents. how u were brought up n what u were exposed to plays a huge role in developing one as a person. Everyday, one prays to Allah so that one's faith is intact. To me, all these are tests from Allah.

insya Allah w Allah's guidance, we will b able to nurture n bring up our daughter so that her faith in Allah is intact n not easily shaken. this will remain as one of our biggest tests fr Allah.
