Hi everyone! Big Salam to all!
This is Katherine from the video.
Well after 3 years of this video being made, I have the courage to come out and correct the media's portrayal of me. They so misrepresented me. When I did this video I was was a muslim for about 5 months. They started filming in August 2003 and again another shoot in October 2003. I converted to islam in June 2003. I just started to desire to cover then in public in October. So when they filmed me in the first rounds, I was not covered. So please forgive me for that..........
Waalaikumsalam katherine.... i'm Nasrullah Wong or Wilson from malaysia.... i''m very happy to see more and more western people convert into islam. People here usually thought that western people are cruel, corrupted, invading others, injustice, double standard and so on (maybe big influence from crusade)...but when i watched those movie especially americans converted... wow.. Subhanallah... i almost couldn't believe it..... It is something weird and suprise feeling raised in my heart, but at same time i feel happy to see them testify the syahadah.
You've made the right choice Katherine. Many kafirs or non-muslim do not aware what is the real beauty of a woman. If a girl is example like a diamond, surely people will take very good care of it to maintain its shiness and beauty. This same goes to when muslim women wear hijab. Because their body parts are not so easily being exposed to guys, only husband and family can have the privilege....so this makes them feel more precious, well-pampered, just like the very pure diamond.... For a woman, the real beauty comes from intelligence....not body. because body only empty shell but intelligence powers the civilization.
Islam has put women to very high status. Even Allah has commanded men to protect women, to love them, and being leader to them. It is always not an easy task to bear the responsibility being as a leader of another, and if husband fails to lead he is sinful. Because women are mother, they give birth to everyone of us....they experienced the most painful moment when they delivered us. Rasullullah Muhammad S.A.W has onced said that we love our mother 3 times more than our father...... In the malay word saying: "Heaven is under the feet of mother".....
