For former national junior squad under-21 footballer Firdaus Wong Wai Hung, coming to Islam seemed easy enough.<br /><br />He 'reverted' to the religion on August 10, 2005 at 22 years of age when laying-off from playing football due to an injury. It was a time of contemplation for him.<br /><br />But his study and dedication to the religion happened only six years later when he attended a talk by Ustaz Hussein Yee who runs a centre in Shah Alam called Pertubuhan Al-Khadeem. That first meeting changed his life and he has since dedicated himself to studying the religion and is taking a part-time course in Islamic studies. He is also a dedicated missionary and a 'follower' of Ustaz Hussein Yee who he says 'lives the Sunnah'.<br /><br />A large part of Wong's work is an organization called Multiracial Muslim Malaysia, formerly called Malaysia Reverted Muslims housed in a building in the Kuala Lumpur suburb of Wangsa Maju.<br /><br />It is through this organization that he does his missionary work such as organizing classes and lectures for reverts and whoever else interested to learn more about Islam.<br /><br />His members also participate in street dakwah together with other Muslim groups. It's through this programme that allows them to speak to people who might be curious about Islam. <br /><br />In this conversation with Firdaus, we asked if the recent behaviour and racial polemic of Muslim NGOs, are making efforts to spread knowledge about Islam to non-Muslims, that much more difficult.<br /><br />Note: Muslims use the word 'Revert' rather than 'Convert' to Islam because of the belief that everyone was born Muslim. <br /><br />Video by Shufiyan Shukur<br />Narrator: Faidzal Mokhtar
