relgious faith

Once a Muslim always a Muslim. This is the law of the country. Like the Socso, once a member always a member no matter what position one holds in the company; he/she has to contribute to Socso. Nobody can run away from it. A Muslim - man or woman - can't change religion to suit marriage. It is the other party would have to convert. Period. Otherwise there is no binding marriage in the eyes of the syariah law. Even the High Court is reluctant to make any ruling on religious faith especially on Islam. There is a case pending in the High Court regarding a Muslim woman who wanted to become Christian. In fact she had denounced her Islamic faith and embraced Christianity. No doubt the Federal Constitution guarantees religious freedom to all the people, in reality it is different altogether. Other religious faiths have no laws to bide them. They can change any time they feel the need to change without the hassle of religious officers ticking them or charge them in syariah court. Ayah Pin is another religious cult who had disappeared since the authority clamped him down for spreading falsehood in his sermons. His community is pursued by the religious officers and some are brought to court to answer charges......for establishing a religion against the tenets of Islamic teachings. Islam is a peaceful religion yet the way it has been said, it has become a battle cry to commit sin for the wrong reasons to suit certain leaders' ambitions.

Why God create so many religions? If not Him, then who makes it many? At one time we all speak in one tongue then God changed it to many languages (Holy Bible) Through Muhammad(pbuh) He sent the Arabic language to His people.....another language of so many in the market. It is His way to test the market? To me He is trying to confuse His people but the aim is the same to richly rewarded for doing good deeds...

Malaysia- the official religion is Islam whereas other religious faiths are allowed to practise freely without any sanction from the authority in each state
