Muslim goes viral for clarifying that Christian holy water is not made of bodily substance

 

GROWING up in multiracial country, it is normal to hear weird, and more often than not, frightening things about other people’s tradition or religion.

In a video post on X, netizen (madam) lissa angking, who is interestingly a muslim, shared that the Christian holy water was not made from gory substances such as uterus and fetus.

“It is similar to the mineral water of Ruqyah,” she said.

The post has since attracted many netizens, and fascinatingly muslims, who came up to share the misguided stories they heard about the Christian holy water.

“Ah yes I remember the early 90s when I’m in school the urban legend was if you accidentally drink holy water, your mouth is unable to speak the Syahadah twice,” said Yaewangy.

“Then I grew up and see all these urban Malays partying at Zouk and Maison then go back home to perform their morning prayers, it does makes you go “hmmmm interesting,” Yaewangy added.

Netizen im noBODY shared that during his childhood, there were people who claimed that the holy water contained saliva.

Not unlike him, a female netizen claimed that in her school a long time ago, her teacher said the holy water was a mixture of sperm and pubic hair from the priest.

She said people would sell it near the front door of the school, supposedly to give to the apostate muslims.

“During that time, the children were frightened, although such a thing never happened,” she added.

Looking through the video post, another netizen exclaimed that he now realised the Christian holy water is cleaner and purer than the beard water from GISBH.

Prompted by the educational video, Wan Ahmad Jargon asked about the holy oil used to anoint the British King and Queen. 

In reply, (madam) lissa angking said such oils were usually made from olive oil which can be mixed with other oils.

“But most of it must be consisting of olive oil and it needs to be blessed,” she said.

On a separate note, mr neko wondered what would happen if a muslim were to drink the holy water.

According to (madam) lissa angking, it was sufficient to just speak the Shahadah, adding that it was just water.

“Surely, one’s faith isn’t that weak to the point of forgetting religion, or being unable to read the Quran just because water has been “blessed”? It can’t be that easy to convert someone to Christianity. Strengthen your own faith as a Muslim,” she said.

Looking at all the pertinent questions being asked, we were compelled to inquire too.

What does it mean if the holy water feels acidic or painful to the touch? Hopefully (madam) lissa angking is able to provide an answer to our nagging question. —Focus Malaysia
