DDHK.ORG - A migrant worker from the Philippines named Lilibeth Olaer, on Sunday, May 2, 2021, officially converted to Islam. He took ayahadat, supervised by Ustadz Mahmud Abdussalam, Chairman of the Muslim Organization Association Indonesia di Hong Kong (Posmih).
"I am very touched and very happy, we have become more brothers and sisters," said Muawanah, Chairman of Yuen Long's Ukhuwah Islamiyah Taklim Council.
The Yuen Long Islamic Ukhuwah Council is the place for Lilibeth to perform heryahadat, witnessed by 25 congregations. This is the second time the assembly has become a place for converts to martyrdom.
Muawanah also told the chronology of Lilibeth's interest in converting to Islam. It all began with their meeting when they returned home to take the employer's son to take piano lessons.
Lilibeth suddenly asked about the location of the Muslim worship place. Muawanah also mentioned the Ammar Mosque in Wan Chai and the Kowloon Mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui.

But after seeing a video about Islam on Youtube shared by a friend from Indonesia, his heart began to calm down and feel comfortable. However, he admitted that he was still worried because he had not converted to Islam, ”said Muawanah.
"And I don't know when my magic will come," said Lilibeth, as quoted by Muawanah.
Their conversation continues on the social media Facebook Messenger. At the end of the story, after being given input and being told about the beauty of Islamic teachings by migrant workers from Kediri, East Java, Lilibeth decided to convert to Islam and say shahada at the Yuen Long Yuen Long Islamic Ukhuwah Council led by Muawanah.
After becoming a convert, Lilibeth then took the name Aisyah. The 28-year-old woman intends to routinely attend recitation at the Taklim Ukhuwah Islamiyah Yuen Long Council every holiday.
Ustadz Mahmudi advised that after converting to Islam, Aisyah alias Lilibeth could be a good Muslim woman, as well as be a good mother. Also, one should be willing to learn about Islam and try to keep the 5 daily prayers. [Nurhalimah] [DDHKNews]
