A Young Muslim

Assalamualaikum. So today, i would like to share a little bit about my journey during my sealife as a young Muslim.
Im considering myself baby which is learning to walk about Islam. Islam is my religion, alhamdulilah. Im so glad to walk in this career as a young Muslim. Yes i know its a quite challenging to bring this tittle. But alhamdulilah i managed to survived in this great Adventurer.  When the first time i received a love letter from my company, im quite happy for the first time but i also considered about, who are going to sail with me? As im concerning about it i just remembered during my interviewed, the interviewer told me that most of the crew is foreigners. So the day had come, the first step at gangway, i knew that all the crew was foreigners which im the only Muslim in the club. To be honest, im scared and felt so lonely. My thought at that time was am i managed to survive with this situation. So many questions was coming out from my mind. As a young Muslim, i asked my friends everythings about Islam. I still remembered when i enetered galley, the meal that they served was a delicious pig’s curry. It seem so delicious bcs all the crews were so enjoying excluded me. As a young Muslim onboard ship, i was also wondering about my solah, the kiblat, the times to perform solah. A quite big challenged for me and also extra homework for me tho. And about Islam onboardship, as im the only young Muslim, so many questions they asked me about Islam. Some were judging me, and some were asking me to convert to theirs religion. Can you imagined if you were in my situation.



 Here comes the good things when im a young Muslim onboardship, when im lonely and no one can be around me, the only hoped that i can rely on is Allah. I still remembered when i was sailling in open sea, mashaallah belived me my friends,  the sceneries was so beautiful. So calm and peacefully. The momment when dua’s, it was like a sharing momment. Even the foods and drinks most of the times was non-halal, but the rezki for me always there. Sometimes, i tried to cook. Well im  not good in cooking at the first time, but im learning and improving. The bad activites, alhamdulilah i managed to  avoid it. Im proud that im a young Muslim tht managed to survive at that time.
 And here i am now, most of the knowledges about Islam, i learned when i was at sea. All the Islam, my mind opened when i was at sea. Good things i learned when i was at sea even there’s some rumours about Islam. And. “If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you, but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely on” (3:160) i ended my story with beautiful pictures when im onboardship.
