- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- In 2011, Anis made the decision to become a Muslim. He's faced many obstacles since then, from his cooking methods as a hawker to his relationships with others-but he's kept his faith strong. This is his story.
Anis wishes to thank his teacher, Ustaz Omar Ma and Muslim friends that help him with his journey as a Chinese-Muslim.

His story brings a tear to my eye. Not lying. He seems to be the lone ranger type. And out of nowhere, Allah chose him. Such Divine honor. That many of us born Muslims take for granted. Humbling, much.
Me too. Congratulation Uncle Anis. 👍👍💪💪
hen dui..
Why do Muslim Converts idolising themselves by making Videos? Are they seeking some kind of Validation, Recognition etc ?

He is a magnanimous man who has found his peace and calling in Muslim. We should celebrate and support his decision. Everyone makes their best choice based on their own circumstances. All the best and may you continue to lead a peaceful and happy life!
Agree! We're so glad Anis found his community :"

YOU TALK LIKE PHILOSOPHER
YAHYA PAPAYA
But many Chinese folks will try to get him to doubt his faith, because they look down on Islam and feel like he's degrading himself as a Chinese. I know this because I have a friend who's a Chinese muslim convert, and he gets a lot of support from other Muslims, but nothing but hate from other Chinese.
Thnks Jay. ❤️👍🤗
Learn About Islam, will change you a BETTER person in personal life Family Society?
Even converting to be a Muslim makes u speak politely and be mindful about how u speak and treat others. I would definitely be grateful to have him as a neighbour or a colleague. Money can't buy you good character and morals.
Not really
If you really want to become a muslim & study what islam..you will feel that's true what dot said....Allah will guard you become better than before... InshaaAllah
@@elbowstancenow1519 ok
Money definitly cant buy happiness
it's just the teachings behind... no religion actually teaches you bad things
you gave religion too much credit
He made me cry, he reminds me of my late mother, a kelantanese chinese convert, strong willed and tough inside.May Allah bless you always, amin.
Aamiin

He make me cry….I’m a mualaf ( convert to Islam )and I totally understand what he felt when ppl around him judged and questioning…
You bring dishonour to Zhong Guo 🇨🇳 by following a hateful Arab-centric monotheistic cult ...I luckily escaped this cult of MoMo and am a happy Indian ex-muslim
Hope you stay strong!!!!
May Allah make it easy for u 🥹❤️ so sorry for what you have been through. But for surely Allah would reward you for choosing His religion even in hard times. I’m so proud of all reverts. All of your resilience is admirable. May Allah continue to bless all of revert’s journey 🤲❤
I’m glad to visit him today and his Char Kway Teow , immense deliciously. Thanks to this great story, to what religion that he embraces.. good for him. He is a humble person and if friendly.. thumbs up Abg Anis.. 👍🏻😁🌻
Where is the address?
Asalamualaikum, please sent my salam to him from Brunei.
Can share the address?

"What's not meant to be mine will never be mine..."
There shouldn't be any sitgma against his decision, but there is... I'm glad he chose to be the bigger person and refrained from talking back. Those who could say such hurtful things aren't likely to listen to reason. It's sad that some people are like that.
All the best in your life journey, abang.
Islam is getting a bad rep from catholics because some of muslims market the religion as leverage.
I remember while working in Saudi, a big company, there is a undisclosed "hidden" company policy there that foreign workers that convert to muslims with the knowledge of the dept then they will get salary increase and get more favors of getting better in their careers within the company. Foreign workers that are catholics and hindus rolled their eyes, seeing the practice of converting for convenience, unimpressive and desecrating islam.
@@rdu239 As a Muslim myself, I also don’t like being judged by others. I’d like to practice the religion my own way. Honestly, I don’t wear hijab and I know even my some of my fellow Muslims will call me a bad Muslim and that’s what angers me the most. I am still a practicing Muslim and I know sooner or later I will try to improve myself but these people are often so pushy and asking me why not do it now? In the end, religion is personal and people became like that because of the saying of reminding each other every now and then but it is to a point that I feel Muslims forget the beauty of being patient while teaching one another.
I guess what I wanted to say is I understand what is like being judged by people when they have no right to do so.
@@GeorgiaAndrea I'm sorry but allow me to correct. It's very dangerous for a Muslim to practice the Islamic teaching according to his or her own way. Bc u might go astray as syaiton is and other humans might make u do so, especially in this trying time. Always and always pray for Allah guidance and never give up. Otherwise, i applaud u for continuing to change according to the Islamic teaching, as i'm also on it too. Allahua'lam
@@rdu239 As a Muslim especially Malay descent you cannot enter some Restricted area. Even you are Singaporean born. So it's the same anywhere in the World.
Don't be sad brother,Allah be with you forever.. InshaaAllah
Alhamdulillah Abang Anis Ang , Keep Istiqomah in Islam ..
from your brother in Indonesia
May Allah continue to grant our brother strength, patience and perseverance.

@@Whoami1988_ Stop lying.
While the world's population is projected to grow 32% in the coming decades, the number of Muslims is expected to increase by 70% - from 1.8 billion in 2015 to nearly 3 billion in 2060. In 2015, Muslims made up 24.1% of the global population.

Anis never doubt yourself, you have made the bestest decision of your life . You are part of the Ummah , we Muslims are always with you . May Allah reduce the difficulties and grant us all Jannat Al firdous 🤲🏻. Assalamu alaikum
I grew up in Singapore in the early 90s as a foreign student. Although we are ethnic Chinese,we cant speak Chinese/ dialects. The Chinese Singaporean look down on us. I remembered very well, the nicest and the friendliest on the roads and publics, were the Malays (no offence to other ethnicities)They were warm and friendly, made me feel so at home ;) in the foreign country. Thanks 🙏
God bless you and your family.
I am catholic, but I feel uncomfortable saying assalamualaikum to greet muslim co workers when I was working in the middle east, I just went on saying marhaba
Malays are known to be friendly by culture. Southeast Asia is right in the middle of China and India, yet the only two countries with prominent Chinese and Indian immigrant communities are Malaysia and Singapore, both of which are Malay land. That's not a coincidence.
@@rdu239 we are talking about singaporean malays, not middle east arabs.
@@kafkacommercialstudios4124 I strongly disagree. I use to work in a Malay dominated environment and they all treated me very poorly because I was of a different race. They would gang up on me on a daily basis and made my life extremely miserable. I felt angry and sad working with them but I am the better man so I never talk back, I just do my work. there was probably 1-3 who were okay but I realize that when they got promoted, their behaviour towards me changed. They started to be verbally abusive towards me whilst nice to their own. When I had it with them, I decided to resign and the Malay manager who was one of the a-holes who constantly treated me badly had the audacity to tell me that I'm only resigning because I'm a copycat, following others who just resigned. Leaving that place was the best thing I did and I wished I had done it earlier
Aaaah my tears won't stop.
May Allaah bless him with a lot of rahmah, prosperity, happiness, strength, and jannah. 😭
AYA PAMUNGKAS
YOU ARE TUDUNG POCONG

I will trust this brother to cook a good plate of char kuey teow from his sincerity and also he say he professional ok. Will try to visit him when I'm nearby.
His sincerity to include Allah in every aspects of his life humbles me a lot. What a beautiful rahmah from you Ya Rabb. May Allah bless us with a good heart. Good luck, hopefully the business goes very very well sir!
He seems very lonely.
I feel like I have to find a spouse for him.
May Allah reward him the highest jannah aaamin
As a born Muslim from across the border I am inspired by your journey to Islam. May He guide and protect us all.
It's okay to be a Muslim. As a Muslim, I'm very proud of you ❤️☪️
im glad that he converted to islam not by force and is learning it bit by bit.whatever religion u r as long as u find a comfortable community to be in, its fine.
I'm glad he found peace. Allah will guide you my friend. May your sincerity become a guidance for other human being
🥰 from 🇲🇾..that tahajud hit me hard..
He seems content and is able to find peace. Food looks decent too 👍
He's also a genuinely nice guy. Try to spend some time talking to him when he's cooking your food =)
Such a lovely story :']
No matter which religion you come from and/or convert to, everyone is born with the right to live their Life the way they see fit that brings them a sense of Comfort. This kind abang (hehe) was lost after losing family, he's now found a way to find moments of Peace in his days, and I really wish him all the best 🙌🧡
So why are Muslims in India beheading non-muslim
What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing this. When we come across people who take a different direction from ourselves, who do something radical and unexpected from the "norm", it not only tests our own faith and values, but also tests theirs. As human beings, we are constantly pulled into different situations and experiences that are actually opportunities to show our OWN humanity and empathy for others. If we come across people doing something different from ourselves, how we respond and react says more about ourselves than of the person who is undergoing their change. People can follow whatever path they want and be who they want. That bravery - to do something different -often scares people because they are yet to explore it in some way themselves.
That's why it's so important to listen to stories that differ from our own- thank you for appreciating our content!
Very well said.
@@OGS.Official I adore your channel. Thank YOU for opening the world more to Singapore and all the beautiful and different people who live here ❤️. I am grateful to be here ☺️
Alhamdulillah allah give mr anis ang hidayah.
Hope we can live in peace and respect each other religion.
May Allah swt blessed you with ease, health and grant jannah brother Anis.
His word/quote "what's not meant to be yours, won't be yours" really hit me. I've cried a bit. Thanks.
That's common sense.
@@elbowstancenow1519 yeah you're right. Never thought of that, you've just made my life easier. Thanks man.
Mashallah Tabarakallah My Brother... Your Connection to Allah Almighty is so strong that you put him first above all else..

Love you uncle. From 🇲🇾
I am not a Muslim but I understand his feelings.
🤣 you understand his feelings? 🤣🤣🤣 are you aware that Islam allowed lying and use of deception against all non Muslim whom they called khaffir? Such lying is taught in the Quran and Hadith and it is called Taqiyyah.
Do you believe the world is flat like the abdooos?🤣🤣🤣🤣 those with an iota of brain are already ex Muslim .
Mashallah, God guides who he wills.
Lol 😂😆 Allah doesn't exist!
Welcome to Islam brother. Many many good wishes from Pakistan
We, the citizens of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion, to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.
Sure or Not??
Maybe 30 - 40 years ago in Singapore.
@@SubZero-qi9hk Yes, there are fissures within the community.
But by and large, people are still concious and respectful of each others race, language and religion.
We have certainly progressed from the period where we had racial riots.
But this peace can only continue if everyone puts in effort, to be more sensitive and inclusive.
@@SubZero-qi9hk isnt 30 to 40 yrs ago even worst smh....
This is BS, meanwhile the Republic produces highest paid top public office holders in the world! (Nothing but highfalutin aspirations!)

this is an eye opener.... wow...
"at night I would just pray to God and cry."
I felt that. His outlook in life as a convert is admirable and struck a cord in my heart. I'm a born Muslim but I envy his journey. Not everyone is chosen to see the light. Whatever your religion is, to love life as earnestly as possible is hard but if you have faith, then you'll leave everything up to God.
Alhamdulillah May Alllah bless u till

Please do more videos on religious converts. I find them so interesting. I would like to watch one from a Malay convert to Christianity (Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism)
Malay is a race and Christianity is religion. How to convert from malay to Christianity??
@@ShahulHameed-xd9yi Why not? Isn't this a Chinese convert to Islam? The first word is a description of the race.
@@DoingMoar precisely how can you convert Chinese hawker maybe they meant Buddhist hawker idk. But like i said race and religion are not the same. You cannot convert from one race to another you a born with it. But religion is something that you can change. Mixing up both is linguistically and logically wrong in my opinion
im a malay convert.... convert to atheism😅. not many of us are able to expose about ourselves... maybe someday we have that freedom✊🏻❤️
@@MrOner07 there are more of you around. Nothing unusual. Luckily Islam is the fastest growing religion. Much faster than atheism which itself is growing very fast.
The Hokkien saying is so similar to the Qor'anic verse that instructs Muslims how they should treat Christians. Anis is a very wise man. May Allah always protect him
Assalam Waleykum
Dear Brother
May Allah almighty bless you and your family
Thanks for sharing this wonderfull story.
Would like to visit his stall soon..
May Allah protect you Abg Anis. 🤲🏽

May Allah always bless him
Lots of Love ❤❤❤❤
Alhamdulillah..i like the story 🤗may Allah guide u till Jannah, insyaallah amin
We definitely need more Chinese Muslims! Alhamdulilah the beauty of Islam to be so inclusive of all backgrounds. The only religion that doesn't care if you're noble or not, black or white, rich or poor. A person looked down by society may be the higher in standing in front of Allah than others. What a beautiful way of life. Allahu akbar. Allah is the Greatest ❤️
I'm so happy for him!
Doesn't matter if you say if he revert to Islam because of his business but what I saw was the Nur in his face "the sweetness of Iman".
what a beauty
Im very proud of u brother..
Thank you for this, I learned a lot from it.
Whatever reasons someone reverted, doesn't matter, as long as he/she said the shahaadah, that person overcame the first hurdles. The rest will come inch by inch along with prayer and effort. It might be alien to other people but standing in prayer, invocating and crying to Allah are only natural because Allah made it that way to His servants who really asked for His help. It became the best rest and heart soother for Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him during his trials and tribulations. May Allah rewards Mr Anis Ang for his patience and make us steadfast in Islam.
Ya Allah!!!! Masyallah Tabakarallah😢😢😢😢
Will visit your store when I'm in S'pore, Abang. Searching for good char kuey teaw
A great sharing for all of us. We need to embrace diversity in this modern society.

I went to his stall before. Located at Bukit Merah. He faith is very strong.
Alhamdulillah, he lives a normal life. I am looking to get married to someone who wants to live a normal life.
Uncle seem like a good person,really soft spoken .❤
Nice video.. Alhamdulillah for you Mr Anis.. one day will drop by your stall to try char kway teow!! Yumyumyum!!!
