Sekitar setahun yang lalu, Rosie Gabrielle seorang wanita dari Kanada, telah mengembara ke Pakistan dengan menaiki motorsikalnya untuk menyelami budaya dan rasa ingin tahu terhadap negara tersebut. Dia telah sampai ke banyak kawasan di negara itu antaranya ialah Lahore, Swat, Multan, Gwadar dan banyak lagi.

Semasa dia mula-mula menjejakkan kaki ke Pakistan, Rosie Gabrielle menyatakan bahawa dia dapat merasakan ketenangan di kawasan ibadah umat Islam di sana.

WHAT BROKE ME INTO TEARS . I’ve had So many amazing experiences so far here in Pakistan. One that was particularly special was my time at the Bullah Shah Tomb in Kasur. The shrine was built after the death of The Sufi Poet and people from all parts of Pakistan came to pray there. In Islamic culture, it’s typical that men and women Pray in separate areas. I met the elder who was guardian of the tomb she blessed me, and told me how to pray there. After offering my prayers, the woman informed me she was a descendent of Bullah Shah, then took me inside the tomb where only men are permitted. This was a HUGE honor and privilege, something unique. Standing in this room, I could feel the intense pulses of energy. My channel was clear and direct. It was a message that all beings would be as one. That there was no separation between you or I. That the veins of life stretched out and connected each of us, flowing the energy of love and oneness. I returned back that evening, to continue my prayers in this magical place. And it was then that it struck me so deep. Tears began to role down my cheek. I, as a foreign female, who is non Muslim, have been so accepted into this culture. Without judgment, without question. I’ve been treated as family and given So MUCH love, and kindness, so genuine and pure in heart. My heart hurt. Deeply. Knowing that this world, has such a negative view on Muslim people and of Pakistan. That they have NO idea what Islam is actually about or the true heart of these people. That THEY are the ones terrorizing these beautiful peaceful souls. If they only knew. That Muslims, and Pakistani people, are model citizens for the entire WORLD. For all of humanity. That Islam is peace and LOVE. And I, traveling as a solo female here in Pakistan, have only received the highest of care and attention, from all people. This is how we SHOULD be to one another. But this is not how it is in the west. There is too much fear, anger, hate. Which is what lead me to my desperate cry on my stories last week. The world needs to wake up. This is NOT how we were meant to live. And I hope that by me sharing, people will be inspired to open their hearts.

Ini jawapan Rosie Gabrielle apabila MangoBaaz bertanyakan tentang pengalamannya pertama kali menjejakkan kaki ke Pakistan:

“Ramai yang terkejut apabila melihat saya, dan ada juga yang hanya senyum apabila bertemu dengan saya. Kebanyakan orang Pakistan tampak teruja melihat saya menunggang motorsikal saya. Reaksi yang agak melucukan saya terima adalah daripada kanak-kanak berumur 6 tahun. Kanak-kanak itu bertanyakan pada saya sama ada saya lelaki atau perempuan semasa dia melihat saya menunggang motorsikal saya.”

Hey fam jam ! Just a heads up- I have officially started my tour ! I’m behind on my IG stories ( sorry hard to keep up) but I have just done a live video on Instagram and encourage you all to check it out ! Basically it’s just me walking the streets here at night alone, to show you – just how SAFE it is here. And now, 5 days solo on the road and I can’t tell you how amazing everyone has been along the way, and just how safe I really feel traveling alone here and how well cared for I am. I will be doing more live videos in the future. If you missed today’s and have any questions, please feel free to drop them below. Unfortunately I stopped attending to my “other” inbox, as I’m too overwhelmed at the moment with everything and rather enjoy my time being present. But I do appreciate all of the love sent. I will try to respond to each question below at least. As always, Thank you for following along and for all the love and support 🙏💗

Selepas setahun menghabiskan masa menjelajah Pakistan, Rosie Gabrielle akhirnya telah dibukakan hatinya dan telah mengambil keputusan untuk menukar agamanya kepada agama Islam.

Katanya, hidupnya sebelum ini penuh dengan jalan yang berl1kv dan sentiasa rasa gel1s4h serta tidak tenteram. Namun selepas dia meluangkan masa di negara Islam dan selepas Tuhan memberikan petunjuk kepadanya untuk ke Pakistan, dia perasan bahawa terdapat ketenangan di hati setiap orang Islam yang dijumpainya. Melihat daripada itu, dia turut mahukan benda yang sama pada dirinya.

Menurutnya, agama yang dianutinya sejak dari lahir itu masih terdapat kekurangan yang sukar untuk dijelaskan. Dakwanya, dia telah pun meninggalkan agamanya itu 4 tahun yang lalu sebelum memulakan perjalannya mencari hidayah yang akhirnya membawanya ke Pakistan dan berjumpa dengan agama Islam.

Rosie menyatakan bahawa, dia tahu agama Islam ini selalu dikr1t1k dunia dan dipandang ser0ng oleh sesetengah pihak. Namun baginya, dia tahu bahawa Islam ini sebenarnya adalah suatu agama yang menerapkan nilai keamanan, kasih dan Tuhan yang satu.

Dia telah pun percaya dengan kalimah Syahadah sebelum dia secara rasminya lagi bergelar seorang Muslim. Cuma mencari masa yang sesuai sahaja untuknya memeluk Islam secara rasmi.

I CONVERTED to ISLAM☪️ . What lead me to this Big decision? . As I mentioned previously, this last year was one of the hardest in my life, and all life’s challenges have led me to this point here and now. From a young child, I’ve always had a unique connection with creation and special relationship to God. My path was far from easy and I carried a lot of anger in my heart from a lifetime of pain, always begging God, why me? Until ultimately coming to the conclusion that all is meant to be, and even my suffering is a gift. . Never resonating with what I was brought up with, I denounced my religion 4 years ago, going down a deep path of spiritual discovery.Exploration of self, and the great Divine. I never let go the sight of the Creator, in fact, my curiosity and connection only grew stronger. Now no longer dictated by fear, I was able to fully explore this righteous path. . As time passed, the more I experienced, the more I witnessed the true nature and calling for my life. I wanted to be free. Free of the pain and shackles that was hell. Liberation from the anger, hurt and misalignment. I wanted peace in my heart, forgiveness and the most profound connection with all. And thus started my journey. . The universe brought me to Pakistan, not only to challenge myself to let go of the last remaining traces of pain and ego, but also to show me the way. . Through kindness,& humbled grace of the people I met along my pilgrimage, inspired my heart to seek further. Living in a Muslim country for 10 + years and traveling extensively through these regions, I observed one thing; Peace. A kind of peace that one can only dream of having in their hearts. . Unfortunately Islam is one of the most misinterpreted and criticized religions world wide. And like all religions, there are many interpretations. But, the core of it, the true meaning of Islam, is PEACE, LOVE & ONENESS. It’s not a religion, but a way of life. The life of humanity, humility and Love. . For me, I was already technically a “Muslim”. My Shahada was basically a re-dedication of my life to the path of Oneness, connection and Peace through the devotion of God.

Walaupun terdapat beberapa pengikut di akaun media sosialnya yang tidak senang dengan keputusannya memeluk agama Islam, Rosie mengulas kepada pengikutnya itu dengan cara yang lembut. Ada juga yang curiga dengan keputusannya itu manakala sebahagian besar lagi mengucapkan tahniah dan mendoakannya.
