As a content creator, dealing with people's opinions can be a challenging task. While some opinions are meant to be helpful, others can come off as insensitive and offensive. Many of those who are under the spotlight would have to deal with this kind of treatment frequently, and CeddyOrNot, a food blogger, is no exception. Despite the challenges, Ceddy usually responds to these comments with humour and avoids confrontations.

1. puasa dlm bulan ramadan rukun islam yg wajib dipenuhi oleh setiap muslim.
2. puasa 6 di bulan syawal dikira "supererogatory" maksudnya buat dapat pahala tinggal tak dikira berdosa.
3. byk lgi puasa yg ... https://t.co/C5eboAWrBX
Recently, a netizen quote retweeted Ceddy on Twitter and suggested that since he fasted during Ramadan, he should convert to Islam to receive Pahala or a reward for his fasting. Additionally, the user felt that since Ceddy is participating in Puasa 6, he should stop messing around and convert to Islam to be granted for his fasting.
First of all, I am uncomfortable with the usage of messing around, I started puasa because it was a request from MANY of my followers. I gave it a try after learning about its benefits and I love it. And then they asked me to carry on with puasa 6- https://t.co/AMrwvrq5OJ

I have so many things to learn and UNlearn. Maybe this Puasa is the beginning of something beautiful. You dont know, so stop acting like God and question my intention and let me choose my path my way.

Furthermore, Ceddy stated that he has many things to learn and unlearn, and maybe this fasting period is the beginning of something beautiful. He also reminded the user that he should not act like God and question Ceddy's intention and let him choose his path in his way.
This is not the first time Im reading something like Tak dapat pahala as a Non Muslim or rugi juga di akhirat. I always maintain that I DO NOT feel rugi at all experiencing this. Ive reaped so many benefits and I am grateful. Please worry about YOUR own pahala.

While Ceddy has been asked to convert before, this latest comment seemed to strike a nerve as it implied that he was obligated to convert simply because he was participating in the holy month of fasting. This led Ceddy to respond in a less casual manner than usual, expressing his discomfort with the implication and standing up for his own beliefs.
The thing is there's even a diet called intermittent fasting.

Lahh yg tu can lak non muslim do, no need masuk islam. Sbb apa?? Sbb x use the word "puasa" in malay. They use eng.
Duhhh. Just ignore them ceddy. They live in their world for too much & never keen to know outside
No worries ceddy. God is The Most Generous. He won't sia2kan perjalanan you dan usaha you. Even for non Muslim He provides prosperity in this world.
