Dear Khaulah,
Assalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh.
When was my last letter, again? Sorry if these letters does not come as often as both of us would like. But know that as we watch you grow, we can never thank Allah enough for lending you to us.
For the past few months, I've been thinking to write something as the president of As-Syahadah Reverted Youth, The Founders' Story. This is due to the fact that we feel some of the us need to realign our understanding on why we are here, what we are doing and where we are heading. But it's not that easy also because even though I love what I am doing, I don't really like to talk about myself. There were 3 co-founders of the group, and since I'm elected as the founding president, I will only make sense if I'm the one to talk or write about it.
I was doing my research on what to say and things to point out when out of the blue I was contacted that the nation's TV station wants to make a segment on 'Hijrah' where they basically interview and records one's daily life, and insists that I become one of the subjects. This made me think deeply, Allah must have planned this and this must be for the best, so I took the offer.
It all depends on personality actually, but for me, to step forward serving the group and now agreeing to be in the spotlight is already a sacrifice on my nature. But hey, this life of mine is no longer mine since long ago. If it's to serve a greater purpose then I'm content with it. Same with the others.
I believe that a founder's heart will always be with the group as long as it serves it's purpose.
Love,
Ayah.
