Baby Milestones - Primitive Reflexes

Early development of baby milestones is marked by primitive reflexes - reflex actions that occur in response to certain stimuli. These primitve reflexes are important for babies to be able to cope alone after nine months being totally supported in the womb.

Primitive reflexes do not usually persist (except the parachute reflex) and persistence can be a sign that all is not well with the neurological system of the baby.

Moro reflex
Placing Reflex
Stepping Reflex
Rooting Reflex
Sucking Reflex
Palmar Grasp Reflex
Plantar Grasp Reflex
Atonic Neck Reflex
Forward Parachute Reflex

Moro reflex
When:This occurs from birth until about 3 months of age.

What:When the baby is held in the supine position and the head is suddenly allowed to fall back, there is symmetrical opening of the arms before they close again (extension then flexion of the limbs).

Placing reflex
When:This occurs from birth until about 6 weeks of age of normal baby milestones.

What:When the baby is held upright and the top (dorsum) of the foot is brushed against the edge of a table, the baby will lift the foot and place it on the table.

Stepping reflex
When:This occurs from birth until about 6 weeks of age.

What:When the baby is held in the upright position and the foot is placed on a firm surface, the baby will take steps.
Rooting reflex
When:This occurs from birth until about 4 months of age.

What:When the baby is touched near the corner of the mouth, the baby will turn his head towards the stimulus. This is one of the baby milestones that is useful for getting babies to latch onto the breast - the baby will turn to the nipple if it is brushed on the baby's cheek.

Sucking reflex
When:This occurs from birth until about 4 months of age.

What:When an object is placed in the mouth, the baby will start sucking. This is one of the baby milestones that is vital for survival. Babies don't have to learn how to feed after birth, it is a natural reflex.

Palmar Grasp reflex
When:This occurs from birth until about 3 months of age.

What:The baby will close his hand if an object is placed in the palm.
Plantar Grasp reflex
When:This occurs from birth until about 10 months of age.

What:The baby will close his foot around an object is placed against the sole.
Atonic neck reflex
When:This occurs from about 2 months until 6 months of age.

What:When the baby is lying on his back and the head is turned to one side, the arm on that side will extend and the other arm will flex - a fencing posture.

Parachute (forward) reflex
When:This occurs from about 9 months of age and persists.

What:If the baby is held in a position where he is dropped forward, he will outstretch his hands. This is one of the baby milestones that is protective for falling.

Hypertonia..

Hypotonia...

Antara soalan favourite yg ditanya semasa case presentation...mcm ni lah rupa apb ditanya & xdpt dijwb.......hihihi,ok dgn ni sy telah melakukan sedikit investigation about this problem..& adakah to normalize muscle tone itu adalah salah???

Before answer semua soalan di bwh..1st must know about muscle tone...normal muscle tone because nak handle abnormal muscle tone

Muscle tone is generally defined as the passive resistance to a change in length, in other words it refers to the stiffness of the muscle

Disorder in the nervous system...

1) Why some patient gets > muscle tone? (stroke pt,sci pt.....)

2) Why some patient gets <>..what causes it?

(CP,dystonia...)

Hypotonia usually = joint hypermobility

Ok..low muscle tone bermaksud kekurangan daya tahan otot dari di regang/ xdpt nk hold / refers to a < class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#494949;">...yg mungkin disebabkan struktur pd otot atau masalah pd neural systems yg control signals antara otot - spinal cord - brain.Clinically muscle tone is assessed by passively moving the limb and feeling the resistance to the movement, as well as by palpating the muscle for firmness.When a muscle is completely relaxed the stiffness (ie the resistance to lengthening) depends on the structure of the connective tissue elements of the muscle as well as the large elastic protein titin (a component of the muscle cell). This passive stiffness provides the limbs and trunk with a degree of inherent stability. Children with joint hypermobility lack this inherent stability and their muscles have to work harder to maintain positions.

Chest X-Ray

Chest x rays made easy

The aim of this five part series is to give you a basic system for looking at chest x ray films. They should enable you to say something sensible when presented with a film in your finals and be confident that you are not missing serious disease when you view a film on your own as a house officer.

Looking at chest x ray films - the system By the time you do finals you will have learnt a system for examining the abdomen; you also need to develop a system for looking at x ray films. This will reduce your chances of missing abnormalities and it will provide a structured patter to come out with in exams when you are under pressure.

Let's start by looking at a normal chest x ray film (fig 1). Use this film as a reference point during the rest of the article. Firstly, some technical details: Quickly look at the film to get some useful information about the patient:

Fig 1 Normal chest x ray film

• Male or female? Look for the presence of breast shadows (this will help you to notice a mastectomy too).
• Old or young? Try to use the patient's age to your advantage by making sensible suggestions. A 20 year old is much less likely to have malignancy than someone who is 70.
• Good inspiration? It's easy to get tied up in knots over this - and sometimes not get any further. The diaphragms should lie at the level of the sixth ribs anteriorly. The right hemidiaphragm is usually higher than the left because the liver pushes it up.
• Good penetration? You should just be able to see the lower thoracic vertebral bodies through the heart.
• Is the patient rotated? The spinous processes of the thoracic vertebrae should be midway between the medial ends of the clavicles.
• Most chest x ray films are taken posterior anterior (PA) - that is, the x rays shoot through from the back of the patient to the x ray plate in front of the patient. If the patient is too sick to stand up for this, an anterior posterior (AP) film will be done - that is, the x rays shoot through from front to back. An anterior posterior film will always be labelled as AP, so if nothing is written on the film it is safe to assume it is PA. PA films are better, particularly because the heart is not as magnified as on an AP film, making it easier to comment on the heart size. Tip: You can avoid the whole PA/AP debate by describing all chest x ray films "frontal" - that is, you are looking at the patient straight on.
• Finally, some examiners like you to call x ray films radiographs; strictly speaking you can't actually see the x rays themselves.

You can summarise all the above information in a simple opening phrase: "This is a frontal chest radiograph of a young male patient. The patient has taken a good inspiration and is not rotated; the film is well penetrated."

While you are saying this keep looking at the film.

• First look at the mediastinal contours - run your eye down the left side of the patient and then up the right.
• The trachea should be central. The aortic arch is the first structure on the left, followed by the left pulmonary artery; notice how you can trace the pulmonary artery branches fanning out through the lung (see fig 1).
• Two thirds of the heart lies on the left side of the chest, with one third on the right. The heart should take up no more than half of the thoracic cavity. The left border of the heart is made up by the left atrium and left ventricle.
• The right border is made up by the right atrium alone (the right ventricle sits anteriorly and therefore does not have a border on the PA chest x ray film - a question that examiners love to ask. Above the right heart border lies the edge of the superior vena cava.
• The pulmonary arteries and main bronchi arise at the left and right hila. Enlarged lymph nodes can also occur here, as can primary tumours. These make the hilum seem bulky - note the normal size of the hila on this film.
• Now look at the lungs. Apart from the pulmonary vessels (arteries and veins), they should be black (because they are full of air). Scan both lungs, starting at the apices and working down, comparing left with right at the same level, just as you would when listening to the chest with your stethoscope. The lungs extend behind the heart, so look here too. Force your eye to look at the periphery of the lungs - you should not see many lung markings here; if you do then there may be disease of the air spaces or interstitium. Don't forget to look for a pneumothorax - in which case you would see the sharp line of the edge of the lung.
• Make sure you can see the surface of the hemidiaphragms curving downwards, and that the costophrenic and cardiophrenic angles are not blunted - suggesting an effusion. Check there is no free air under the hemidiaphragm.
• Finally look at the soft tissues and bones. Are both breast shadows present? Is there a rib fracture? This would make you look even harder for a pneumothorax. Are the bones destroyed or sclerotic? (see fig 2)

Fig 2 Sclerotic-white metastasis in the right seventh rib

You can summarise your findings as you are looking: "The trachea is central, the mediastinum is not displaced. The mediastinal contours and hila seem normal. The lungs seem clear, with no pneumothorax. There is no free air under the diaphragm. The bones and soft tissues seem normal."

If you have not seen any abnormality by this point, say so - "I have not yet identified an abnormality so I will now look through my review areas" - and then look at the "review areas" - places where you can easily miss disease. These are: apices, periphery of the lungs, under and behind the hemidiaphragms (don't forget the lungs will extend here), and behind the heart. By the time you have gone through the above, showing that you are looking at the film in a logical fashion, the examiner should guide you towards the abnormality.

You may be shown a lateral chest x ray (see fig 3), usually to confirm a diagnosis you have made on the PA film. Therefore don't panic when the lateral goes up because it means you've probably made the diagnosis. There are only two spaces to look at on the later- al film.

Fig 3 Lateral chest x ray (normal)

The heart lies antero-inferiorly. Look at the area anterior and superior to the heart. This should be black, because it contains aerated lung. Similarly the area posterior to the heart should be black right down to the hemidiaphragms. The blackness in these two areas should be equivalent; therefore you can compare one with the other. If the area anterior and superior to the heart is opacified, suspect disease in the anterior mediastinum or upper lobes. If the area posterior to the heart is opacified suspect collapse or consolidation in the lower lobes.

Yahya Schroder

Rela Meninggalkan Kenikmatan Hidup, Demi Masuk Islam

Bulan November tahun 2006, menjadi bulan bersejarah bagi remaja Jerman itu. Karena pada saat itu ia yang masih berusia 17 tahun mengucapkan dua kalimat syahadat dan menjadi seorang Muslim. Ia memilih Yahya, sebagi nama Islamnya dan sejak itu remaja Jerman yang kini tinggal di Postdam, dikenal dengan nama Yahya Schroder.

Yahya hidup berkecukupan dengan ibu dan ayah tirinya di sebuah desa kecil di Jerman. Ia tinggal di rumah yang besar lengkap dengan kolam renang yang luas. Di kamarnya ada tv dan play station dan Yahya tidak pernah kesulitan dalam masalah uang. Seperti remaja lainnya, Yahya sering pergi bergerombol bersama teman-temannya, minum alkohol atau melakukan hal-hal yang konyol.

Tapi semua kenikmatan dunia itu harus ia tinggalkan ketika ia memutuskan masuk Islam. Setelah menjadi seorang mualaf, Yahya memilih tinggal dekat ayahnya yang sudah lebih dulu masuk Islam, di Postdam dekat kota Berlin. Yahya mengaku tidak merasa bahagia meski saat masih ikut ibu dan ayah tirinya yang kaya, hidupnya serba enak. "Saya mencari sesuatu yang lain," ujarnya.

Yahya mengenal komunitas Muslim di Postdam ketika ia berusia 16 tahun, lewat ayah kandungnya yang lebih dulu masuk Islam pada tahun 2001. Ketika itu, ia biasa mengunjungi ayah kandungnya sebulan sekali dan sering ikut sang ayah menghadiri pertemuan-pertemuan dengan komunitas Muslim yang diselenggarakan setiap hari Minggu.

Yahya merasa tertarik dengan Islam dan ayahnya memperhatikan hal itu. Hingga suatu hari sang ayah mengatakan tidak mau membahas soal Islam ketika mereka sedang berdua saja. Ayah Yahya menginginkan puteranya itu belajar dari orang-orang yang ilmunya tentang Islam lebih tinggi agar jika Yahya masuk Islam tidak dipandang cuma ikut-ikutan apa yang telah dilakukan ayahnya.

"Saya setuju dengan ayah dan saya mulai menghadiri pertemuan-pertemuan itu sendiri, setiap bulan. Tapi saat itu terjadi sesuatu hal yang mengubah cara berpikir saya," ujar Yahya.

Yahya bercerita, ia mengalami kecelakaan saat pergi berenang bersama komunitas Muslim. Ketika ia melompat ke kolam renang dari ketinggian, kepalanya membentur dasar kolam renang dan tulang punggungnya patah. Ayahnya membawa Yahya ke rumah sakit dan dokter di rumah sakit itu mengatakan hal yang membuat gentar hatinya.

"Punggungmu mengalami patah tulang yang parah, satu satu saja gerakan yang salah, bisa membuatmu lumpuh," kata dokter.

Yahya harus menjalani operasi. Beberapa saat sebelum masuk ruang operasi, teman Yahya di komunitas Muslim bernama Ahmir memberinya semangat, "Yahya, sekarang engkau berada di tangan Allah. Ini seperti naik rollercoaster. Sekarang engkau sedang berada dalam puncak kenikmatan naik sebuah rollercoaster dan percayalah pada Allah."

Operasi berlangsung selama lima jam dan Yahya baru siuman tiga hari kemudian. "Saya tidak bisa menggerakan tangan kanan saya, tapi saya merasa sangat bahagia. Saya bilang ke dokter bahwa saya tidak peduli dengan tangan kanan saya. Saya sudah sangat bahagia Allah telah membiarkan saya tetap hidup," tutur Yahya. Dokter mengatakan Yahya harus dirawat di rumah sakit dalam beberapa bulan. Tapi Yahya cuma dua minggu di rumah sakit, karena ia berlatih dengan keras. Yahya bahkan sudah bisa naik turun tangga dua hari sebelum seorang dokter datang dan mengatakan bahwa hari itu ia akan berlatih naik tangga.

"Alhamdulillah saya cuma dua minggu di rumah sakit. Sekarang saya sudah bisa menggerakan tangan kanan saya. Kecelakaan itu telah banyak mengubah kepribadian saya," aku Yahya.

"Saya merasakan, ketika Allah menginginkan sesuatu terjadi, hidup seseorang berubah total dalam hitungan detik. Oleh sebab itu, saya lebih menghargai kehidupan dan mulai berpikir tentang kehidupan saya dan Islam, tapi saat itu saya masih tinggal di sebuah desa kecil," kisah Yahya.

Keinginan Yahya untuk menjadi seorang Muslim makin kuat, sehingga ia berani memutuskan untuk meninggalkan keluarganya di desa itu. Yahya menuturkan, "Saya meninggalkan ibu dan ayah tiri saya, meninggalkan gaya hidup saya yang mewah dan pergi ke Postdam, tinggal di apartemen kecil ayah kandung saya. Saya tak keberatan harus menempati sebuah dapur kecil, karena saya cuma membawa sedikit pakaian, buku-buku sekolah dan beberapa CD."

"Kedengarannya saya kehilangan segalanya, tapi saya merasa bahagia, sebahagia ketika saya siuman di rumah sakit setelah kecelakaan buruk itu," ujar Yahya.

Diejek Teman Sekolah

Sehari setelah hari pertamanya masuk sekolah di Postdam, Yahya mengucapkan dua kalimat syahadat. Yahya pun menjalani kehidupan barunya sebagai seorang Muslim, meski di sekolah banyak yang mengejeknyakarena menjadi seorang Muslim. Beberapa orang menganggapnya "gila" bahkan tidak percaya kalau dirinya orang Jerman asli.

"Saya melihatnya sebagai hal yang biasa karena informasi yang mereka baca di media tentang Islam dan Muslim. Media massa menulis tentang Islam yang disebut teroris, Usamah bin ladin, Muslim yang jahat, dan sebagainya," tukas Yahya.

Sepuluh bulan berlalu dan situasi mulai berubah. Yahya aktif berdakwah pada teman-teman sekelasnya dan ia mendapatkan sebuah ruangan untuk salat, padahal cuma dia satu-satunya siswa Muslim di sekolahnya.

"Teman-teman sekelas berubah, yang dulunya menggoda saya karena masuk Islam, sekarang banyak bertanya tentang Islam dan mereka mengakui Islam tidak sama dengan agama-agama lainnya. Menurut mereka, Islam itu keren!" kata Yahya menirukan pendapat teman-temannya.

Yahya mengungkapkan, teman-teman sekolahnya menilai Muslim memiliki adab yang baik dalam berinteraksi dengan sesama manusia, bebas dari tekanan teman sekelompok seperti yang terjadi di sekolah mereka. Saat itu siswa-siswi di sekolah Yahya cenderung berkelompok atau membentuk genk, mulai dari genk hip hop, punk sampai kelompok genk siswa yang hobinya berpesta. Setiap siswa berusaha keras untuk diterima menjadi anggota genk itu.

Tapi Yahya, ia bisa berteman dengan siapa saja. "Saya tidak perlu mengenakan pakaian khusus agar terlihat keren. Yang terjadi malah, genk-genk itu sering mengundang saya dan teman-teman Muslim saya ke pesta-pesat barbeque mereka," tandasnya.

"Yang istimewa dari semua ini adalah, mereka menghormati saya sebagai seorang Muslim. Mereka membelikan makanan halal buat saya dan mereka menggelar dua pesta barbeque, satu untuk mereka dan satu untuk kami yang Muslim. Masyarakat disini sudah mulai terbuka dengan Islam," sambung Yahya mengenang masa-masa sekolahnya.

Yahya menambahkan, ia merasa lebih mudah menjadi seorang mualaf daripada menjadi seorang yang memang sudah Muslim sejak lahir. Ia banyak melihat banyak anak-anak muda Muslim yang ingin menjadi orang Jerman dan melihat Islam hanya sebagai tradisi. Anak-anak muda itu, kata Yahya, bersedia melepas 'tradisi' keislamannya supaya bisa diterima di tengah masyarakat Jerman.

"Meskipun faktanya, orang-orang Jerman tetap tidak mau menerima mereka meski mereka melepas agama Islamnya," ujar Yahya.

Ia mengakui, kehidupan seorang Muslim di Jerman tidak mudah karena mayoritas masyarakat Jerman buta tentang Islam. "Kalau mereka ditanya tentang Islam, mereka akan mengatakan sesuatu tentang Arab. Buat mereka, pertanyaan itu seperti soal matematika, Islam=Arab". Padahal negara ini memiliki bangsa yang besar," tukas Yahya. (ln/readislam)

Dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pengasih lg Maha Pemurah
Selawat dan salam ke atas junjungan besar Rasulullah SAW,keluarga dan para sahabatnya

Post ni bermotifkan luahan perasaan terhadap moew ku yg begitu gediksz...Betul, xpernah sepanjang pengalaman ku memelihara spesies kucing bertemu dgn kucing segedik dia..

Si dia yg bernama "si puteh"

Ngeee...mmg xtahan kegedikkannya..

Bayangkanlah, sudah letak makanannya dlm bekas dia tapi nk jugak bangunkan manusia yg nyenyak tidur di dlm rumah!!..salah satunya yg selalu menjadi mangsa adalah diriku ini,huhuhu...sebabnya pintu bilik xtutup...=P

Ok lah,bangunlah meninggalkan katil empuk tu untuk menghantar meow gediks tu ke dapur dan menunjukkan pinggannya yg sudah berisi makanan...ingat nk menyambung kembali mimpi indah tapi xlama kemudian si gediks itu kembali lg mengacau mimpi ku..dia naik atas badan, jilat dan gigit jari kaki & tangan..yg paling dahsyat tu cium2 kt muka ku ni..waaaa,tercemar...argh..bangun lg sekali ke dapur lg!..kali ini untuk teman dia makan..."ngada2 betul" kata ku di dlm hati yg xpuas hati ini..mmg membuatkan tidurku xtenteram...

Si Gediks ataupun Si Buntal ni bukannya nk makan byk pun,hanyalah beberapa suap aje..ala-ala sekadar mengalas perutnya yg da mmg boyot tu...tapi kalau tgk dia kejutkan org dr tidur, mcm da sebulan xmakan!

Hmmm.....xpelah, asalkan dia bahagia dan sihat (^^,) wlpn kadang2 tu xtahan sikit,heee...lg2 kalau 3,4 kali kacau diriku sedang tidur di mlm hari...kalau kacau di siang hari xpelah kn..

Yang saya suka adalah sesi semasa kami berdua mandi bersama..lama taw,dlm sejam jugak la..bukan senang nk mandikan Si Comel ni...saat diriku membalas dendamlah kononnya..hohoho...wink,wink @_-

Ok lah da penat mengutuk kucing sendiri, sekian (-_-')

Planets in the orbits
The moon and the sun

Lets start question in ourselves
Isn't this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind
The push it all aside..
NO......

We just have to
Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds
If we just look bright to see the signs
We can't keep hiding from the truth
Let it take us by surprise

Take us in the best way

Guide us every single day...
(Allah)

Keep us close to you
Until the end of time...

Look inside yourselves
Such a perfect order
Hiding in yourselves
Running in your veins
What about anger love and pain
And all the things you're feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?

Kisah saudara Islam Abu Bakar (dalam klip video you tube Maher Zain ini) yang mencari BUKTI di dalam mehahami konsep ketuhanan di dalam Islam.

Abu Bakr’s Way To Islam

The following is the true account of an Australian revert taken from the honours thesis of Sister Tuba Boz. His name is Abu Bakr, and while his name, like many of those of his fellow-reverts, is chosen for its meaning and its nearness to some aspect of Islam, or that of the life of the Prophet of Arabia, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), his story is truly that of an Australian young man with all his Australianism intact. And though he, himself, does not wish to be seen as other than a Muslim, it is, for fellow-Australians, encouragement and living proof of the Qur’anic ayat:


“ O mankind We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female,
And made you into nations and tribes,
That ye may know each other, Not that ye may despise (each other).
Verily the most honoured of you in the Sight of Allah
Is (he who is) the most righteous of you.
And Allah has full knowledge
And is well acquainted (with all things).”
Surah 49:13

If one had told Abu Bakr earlier, that he would one day become a Muslim, his reply would most probably have been, “Naah! No way!!!” for like many Australians his perception of Muslims was that they were terrorists. However, there is no accounting for the Mercy and Graciousness of Allah who leads to His Path those whom He wills from all peoples upon the earth; and Abu Bakr was to find this in due course.


When asked what had triggered his search to find the true meaning of life, for that was the primary aim of his quest, his response was this: “There were a couple of things. It was the year my parents said they were going to separate. It was not the year they formally divorced, but it was the year my Dad moved out of the house. I went a little off the rails. I (even) had trouble with the police.. . . I was drinking a lot.” It may be seen that this was a painful time for this young man. This was to be further compounded, for it was in this year that one of his friends died. Of this event he said: “That led me to think, ‘There’s my mate. He just died, and he is only eighteen years old! Is he just worm food?’ You know what I mean. That’s when I started relating it to my life, thinking, ‘If I died tomorrow what would it matter? What would it matter except to the few who know me among the billions on this Earth?’ So I started thinking, ‘No! There has to be more. There has to be more than just this!’”

It was with these questions in mind that Abu Bakr commenced his journey, looking to religion for the meaning of existence. He describes his experiences in this way:

“First, I mean, logically, I’m an Aussie, so I went straight to Christianity, and I thought I’d have that fish sticker on the back of my car, and “I love Jesus”. I was thinking I’d go buy them and see if they did something for my parking fine!” his waggish sense of humour bubbling to the fore. Then seriously he explains, “Honestly I went through all the (Christian) religions; well not all the religions, but the ones I had access to I investigated. Christianity, including Catholicism, I investigated quite a bit. But the problem was I just couldn’t find the answer. While they were all nice, I couldn’t sit there and say, ‘This is the religion for me!’ and ‘This sounds beautiful!’”

His search continued:

“I looked at Hinduism when I was working in a service station with some Hindu friends. We had conversations all the time. We didn’t argue because we were pretty good friends. One would say, ‘You have to believe in this god about this, and this god of that.’ I would go, ‘Come on man! What if they argue?’ He was not to know it, but his argument was one already mentioned in the Qur’an: “Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they allege.” Surah 23:91

“Then I looked at Judaism. Again it didn’t get me in the way that I thought it would!”

“However, what started to get me was Buddhism. I thought, ‘This is really nice you know!’ But nowhere

could I read or see that Buddha was actually talking about himself. Not (other than) as a person that you

follow - not as a deity! And this was a religion. “So you know what I mean, it was just a nice way to be. It’s

not ‘This is the purpose of why you are here’. And while it was nice I thought, ‘This can’t be it either.’


“My friend, a Christian who had earlier said to ‘vow to God’, said, ‘Why don’t you try Islam?’

I said, ‘Naah man! They’re terrorists! I’m not going near a mosque. No way!’

“But I found myself near a mosque, Preston Mosque. I went in and started to ask questions. And basically every question I asked, no-one would answer from their minds, everyone was pulling out a Qur’an and saying, ‘Here it is.’ And that really surprised me because (almost) every time I went to a priest, I did not see the Bible once. They almost never pulled out the Bible, they were just, ‘Here’s your answer.’ This was the same with almost every religion. There were some who did read from the Bible a couple of times. But in the mosque, every single time - out came the Qur’an, and that got me. This is not about these people, it’s about the Book, and that’s when I started reading the Qur’an. It took months and months though, six to seven months. I had a lot of questions!”

At the end of these months how did this young man, now twenty years of age, decide to become Muslim?

The crucial moment of his conversion came one night, as he explained:

“One night I had just been speaking to a couple of Australian brothers at the mosque. They told me to take the Qur’an home and read it. I had already taken one, but they gave me this one with big letters - the other one I had was little and was harder to read. That night I sat in bed and lit a candle. I had the window open. It was a nice summer’s night. It had this atmosphere, this religious atmosphere. I was set, and I was sitting there thinking, ‘This is beautiful and very sacred!’

“Everything was really good and I started reading Qur’an and thinking, ‘This is very beautiful, it says exactly what I think it should say.’ It feels like it’s right you know, but I’m not quite there, you know! I just need a bit of a hand. And I sat back, Qur’an in hand, and said, ‘O God, give me a sign! But it has to be pretty good - like lightning,’ - and it was a clear summer’s night. ‘If you do lightning, I’m yours - I’m your servant. And maybe if you can’t do lightning - something like a crack or something; or a flash of light; or the candle! I would be pretty impressed if the candle just blew up to about two feet high, you know, like in the movies!”


“And I’m sitting there waiting!”. . . . .

“Nothing at all happened! Like I couldn’t even say a creak in the wall was my sign! So I’m sitting there pretty disappointed, and I’m angry . . Right? And I’m like, ‘God, I’m asking you. You’re supposed to be All-Powerful! Alright - I’m going to give you a second chance.’ Like that was a fair bit to ask - summer, lightning! ‘Okay, maybe like, a car can just backfire that goes past - that’s something that happens all the time, but at least I’ll know it’s for me.’ So I lowered my levels . . Right?

“Subhan’Allah!” (Exalted is Allah) he exclaims, shaking his head at the very thought of it. “And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Alright!’ So I look around again - Nothing! All is so silent . . I could have been in space. Not even an ant made a noise, and by this time I was shattered, because this was the moment! I had thought, ‘This is it!’ you know, ‘This is my time!’ . . . And nothing happened!”

“So I’m sitting there, pretty disappointed, and I thought, ‘I may as well keep on reading Qur’an”. So I looked down and turned the page, and the very next ayat (verse) was something to the effect: For those of you who ask for signs, have I not shown you enough already? Look around at the sky, the trees, the water, these are your signs. These are the Signs for those who know!”

“Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people who have sense.” Surah 2:162


“I was sitting down; I freaked out! I closed the Qur’an and chucked the quilt over my head. I was freaking out because here it was! You know what I mean?”

“So the next morning I went straight to the mosque and told them I wanted to become Muslim, because I had had my sign. I had it, even thought it was not my sign. I shouldn’t be arrogant and think I have a sign.

Isn’t the water my sign and all these things around me are signs, you know, that there is a Creator!”

With this in mind, one cannot help but wonder whether this young man had put aside all his previous fears of terrorism and danger which he and countless peoples perceive to be part of Islam and Muslims?


“That evening at the mosque there were all these Muslims there - heaps of people! And I’m thinking, ‘Look at this religion. So many people! They’re all so strong!’ Then I realised that it was the first night of Ramadan, the fasting month. They were all there to do their last prayer (for the day) you know. But I really did think this was amazing. So you see, my first real experience there was this. Quite honestly there must have been a thousand people at Preston Mosque that night, maybe more!

“While I was waiting to give the Shahadah (the declaration of faith) there at tarawih (the night prayer during Ramadan), I’m sitting there thinking, ‘If I get these words wrong I’m a dead man! They’re going to kill me!’

“So now I’m standing up there, in front of all these people, and Sheikh Fehmi says to me, ‘These are the words that you say,’ and so I started saying them. And I’ve got to admit that I was nervous before - but as soon as I started speaking the words, I felt like it was just me standing there by myself; like, that there was no-one else, and I felt, honestly, the only way I can describe this feeling is as if there is a shower on the inside of my head - a cold shower, going straight through my body. I’m standing there, hair standing on end . . . then all the brothers came and hugged me!”

One can only imagine the warmth and fellowship that this young brother experienced; such that fear of terrorism and its accompanying horrors melted away in the light of knowledge and the empathy of brotherhood which is peculiar to Islam alone. Is it not said: “He it is that hath strengthened thee (Muhammad) with His aid and with (the company of) the Believers. And (moreover) He hath put affection between their hearts: Not if thou hadst spent all that is in the earth, couldst thou have produced that affection, but Allah hath done it: for He is Exalted in might, Wise.”(Qur’an 8:62,63).


However, this was not all he learned, his education was just beginning:

“But you know, I didn’t even know how to pray! I had to fast - and I was still eating ham! I didn’t even know that you shouldn’t eat it - so I’m fasting and then eating, like, a whopper burger with ham. I didn’t know it was haram (forbidden) but I did know that you’re not supposed to eat from before sunrise until after sunset. You know, I was fasting, but it was pretty hard!”

So did Abu Bakr, his chosen Islamic name, finally reach his goal?

“I (now) know why I am here; what I am here to do; and what it is all about.”

When asked if becoming Muslim had changed his personality and his life his reply was:

“I feel like I am here for a different purpose, but I don’t think that if you met me when I was fifteen years old and then you met me now that you’d say, ‘Man! You have changed so much! You’re not the same person I knew before.’ I think I have carried through most of the person I always was. I just don’t do some things I used to do. And I don’t think in some ways about things that I used to think about. I think I’ve always been positive, but Islam has given me that (extra) - like if the guy outside put his bobcat through the house, I’d just go: ‘Subhan’Allah! I’ll have to fix that.’ It’s not like I’m going to go, ‘Oh why do you always do this to me?’ You know, it’s just a thing that is not so important. Probably my priorities are completely different. Like, before, it was all (about) me!”

Abu Bakr’s family received news of his reversion very positively: “My family was happy for me but concerned as to how this would change our relationship.” Of course friendships did not all stand the test: “I lost a few friends (so-called) as I no longer wanted to drink, go out, etc.”


Of reversion generally he stated: “I use the word revert because, I mean, everyone uses convert because that is just a Western ideal. You know (in the Western context) that you have converted to something. But when you look into Islam I guess you realise that the term Muslim just means it comes from Islam, Right? It is a statement of what you are. So Islam means to submit your will to God; to do what God asks you to do; whereas a Muslim is someone who is doing it. So if you are not doing what God has asked you, you are not a Muslim.

So, in effect, Muslim is not a noun, it’s a doing word (a verb). Therefore, my tree in the backyard is doing what God asked it. The tree is Muslim to me, you know! It’s submitting its will to God. Everything has energy. So when you’re born, you’re Muslim, you know! ‘I’m hungry’ - you cry - that’s Islamic you know,” he says laughing. “You are acting in accordance with your nature, and it’s only when you get a little bit older, and people teach you stuff, that you go away from Islam because you take on someone else’s ideals. Then when you want to come back, you revert, because you were already Muslim when you were born.”

So it was that in 1996 in Preston Victoria a young Australian man found that for which he was searching. His life has been quite eventful and it is noted that Abu Bakr is now a Psychologist and a Film maker. May it please Almighty Allah to continue to bless this young man.
