Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in Altantunya's murder case.

2008-07-03T00:10:00.001-07:00

Datuk Seri Najib, The Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, has on many occasions and even in the Parliament, denied all allegations of his involvement in the Altantunya's murder case. Although I have heard people talking about it, but I just can't believe it. Unless there is some kind of evidence.

Today, 3rd., July 2008, Datuk Seri Anwar released a statement with regards to the DPM's involvement in the murder case. Oh my God 'Allah', what is wrong with these people. They are promenant people in Malaysia. They sodomise and have sex with any beautiful woman they come across? Are these the leaders we are suppose to give support? No no not me and so will all other good citizens of this country. They are all Muslims on the outside but a devil in the inside. The murder case has been going on but it has been stalled for a while, don't know how long.

I remembered once in the TV3 news, when Razak Baginda, the political secretary to the DPM, was arrested, his wife cried out, "My husband is innocent, it's not him who's going to be the Prime Minister." Her cry, has been ringing in my ears ever since. Now with Anwar's press statement, and the solemly declared statement of Balasubramaniam, a private investigator employed by Razak Baginda, I am quite sure of Datuk Seri Najib's or his wife's involvement in the case.

Read all about it: http://suarakeadilan.com/sk/berita-utama/2008/07/1073

The Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, must take immediate action on Najib, before things get blown up right in his face.
You are the rightful Prime Minister and may 'Allah' bless and protect you always.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim

2008-07-01T20:27:00.000-07:00

In the year 1998, Anwar was sacked from his office as the Deputy Prime Minister, was charged with sodomy and corruption hence was beaten and jailed after a series of court sessions where he was found guilty. Anwar described the court proceedings as a 'kangaroo court'.

I was then quite taken by all this and I thought the charges on him was not true and that it was more politically inclined. As the DPM, Anwar was getting too powerful for Tun Mahathir's liking. I can't believe Anwar portraying himself as a Muslim leader could engaged himself in sodomy. I just could not believe it, especially with the way Prosecution was conducted and the brutal attack on him by the Police. I believe Tun Mahathir was on top of it all and making sure Anwar is to be found guilty as charged. Believe me if Tun is still the PM, Anwar will still be in jail.

Today Anwar is free. He should be thankful to our PM Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is with the view that the judicial system must be free and not being dictated by any Office or Authority.
Today Anwar is the adviser to Party Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and also an adviser to the Joint Opposition Front which comprises of PKR, PAS and DAP. With the overwhelming support they got from the recent General Ellections, Anwar has now got a voice. The situation is quite promising for Anwar and his quest to become the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Now, what has happened. Anwar was charged with sodomy again. On the 28th.June 2008,(Saturday) Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, lodged a Police report alleging that he was sodomised by Anwar on the 26th. June (Thursday)at an apartment in Damansara Heights. When Anwar was notified of this, he quickly go into hiding and sought shelter with the Turkish Embassy on Sunday morning 29th, June. Of course he may say that there were death threats endangering him and his family. Is this so? I don't think so. He was afraid, maybe of his own guilt. Anyway, I am not here to judge, we'll leave it to the courts to decide. The way Anwar is reacting is very much like a man of guilt trying to get out of it by making allegations towards the Government Authorities, and worst by dragging America's involvement into the matter.

In short, I will never support a leader who engage himself in sodomy. It is against Islam and every Muslim should condemn such activity. I guess his ambition of becoming the Prime Minister is tarnished. He is not found guilty yet, but once an allegation is made against him, there is a possibility that he might be guilty. This possibility is in the back of each and every concerned citizen of Malaysia.

THE GOOD AND EVIL

2008-05-29T22:12:00.000-07:00

There is the good and evil in each and everyone of us.
Sometimes the good is actually evil for us.
Sometimes, what we think is evil is actually good for us.
That is why God, 'Allah' has embedded a 'thinking brain' for all human beings.
A 'thinking brain', to enable us to analyse and reason on whatever circumstances or situation we are confronted with, in order to make right decisions.
This 'thinking brain' is what that elevates us above all other God's creations.

MALAYSIA MY COUNTRY

2007-12-10T17:34:00.000-08:00

This country Malaysia is my country and I share it with all TRUE MALAYSIANS as it is their country too.
Allahyarham Tungku Abdul Rahman and all the Malay Leaders who fought for its independence are all my heroes.
The British gave the independence with the condition that the Chinese and Indians are to be accepted as citizens of the country. This was accepted by the Malay leaders.
At that time the Malays, Chinese and Indians lived in harmony.
Today in Malaysia, we still live in harmony, with the exception of a few Chinese who still consider China their mother country and Indians who still consider India their mother country. To the Malays and most of other Malaysians, Malaysia is their mother land, and these are the TRUE MALAYSIANS.

Malaysia is a peaceful country. We try to be friends with all countries of the world we do not get involve in the internal affairs of other countries. We respect all their elected leaders and respect their customs and tradition. Day to day it is developing into a prosperous Nation, well respected all over the world. All Malaysians be it the Malays, Chinese and Indians benefit from the wealth of the Nation. Still there is resentment and dissatisfaction amongst those unfaithful Malaysians. These unfaithful Malaysians (hypocrites) they like to stay and reap the wealth of the Nation but will not be grateful to it. They create havoc in this country and if should there be any chaos, they will be the first to leave the country and will only be back when everything is in order again. Now, who will be the ones that's going to stay and defend and fight for safety of this Nation? Those who defend and fight for the Nation if there should be any chaotic events or any infiltration are non other than the TRUE MALAYSIANS.

Surprisingly after 50 years of independence the UMNO, MCA, and the MIC who has managed the country can be at logger heads with each other with regards to issues relating to religious believes and customs. Most of the demands are from the Chinese and the Indian community. Their demands are more of a racial content that benefits their community only and not all Malaysians. The Government on the other hand has been very lenient and patient with these demands. In respect to this the Government has taken steps for the building of Chinese schools, Indian schools and also allocating land for the construction of temples. The steps taken by the Government, are to satisfy the grievances of the Chinese and the Indian community. This is not enough for some of them. They want more. Be it whatever they are rallying or demanding, there must be a limit as to what the Government can tolerate. As TRUE MALAYSIANS, we urge the government to take stern actions on all the culprits who are responsible for any kind of unruly chaos and rebellious actions of any community. Those who are leaders to these kind of rebellious actions, be it Ministers, Priests or Community leaders must be prosecuted and sentenced to imprisonment, as this is an act of disturbing the peace and could cause hurt to other innocent citizens.

I am just a Malaysian who like other TRUE MALAYSIANS, who wants peace in this country. I therefore urge, those who are not comfortable being a Malaysian, to leave the country and be citizens of other countries of their choice. As TRUE MALAYSIANS, we do not want hypocrites. The Government should give out free non return airfares to those who want to leave the country, and they will be banned from entering this country again, except if they come in legally as any other foreigners for a visit as a tourist.

A Blessed Achievement

2007-11-30T01:53:00.000-08:00

My son Jon has acquired his Masters Degree majoring in Information Technology in Strategic Management at the University of Wolverhampton, UK. He did very well and got a distinction for his effort. He became the top student in his faculty and top foreign student in the whole University.

Although this is my son's achievement, I feel like it is mine, and I thank the 'God' Almighty for it. His wife Rin and my two grand daughters, my wife and his two brothers are proud of him and feel very happy. Besides that, his uncles and aunties too, are proud of him. I am very grateful to my sister Lina and my brother in law Kali for their initial financial support to enable him to enroll to the University. I tried to get a scholarship for him from all sources including the government but was turned down.

Its been a struggle for the whole family. Each and everyone of us sacrificed a lot in our own little way, to see him through his studies. This is a big achievement for the family. I hope with this achievement, my son Jon will be able acquire a good job with a very good stable salary to support the family and to settle all outstanding loans that is overdue and to help and enable his brothers to achieve the same in their respective fields.

I am 59 turning 60, and live day to day with a positive mind set that everyday will be a better day than yesterday. I do not have fear for anybody how big or powerful they are. What is right I'll say it's right and what is wrong I'll say it's wrong. I do not know how much lifetime is left for me in this world, but I'll go on with it doing what is right. During my struggle I noticed a few negative reactions from the people and things around me, but left it like that and kept going on as though I did not notice it, and kept it inside me. All this is due to the one thing I lack, and that is money. Without money you become useless, without money you become stupid, without money you have no say, without money people do not respect you. (This is how people think.) Humiliation, thats what you have to go through. That's what I have to go through, but I put it aside and go on living with a big smile on my face. There's no time to brood about it.

With my son's achievement I now have a better and brighter foresight for the family, in the near future. I thank God 'Allah' for all his love and kindness for my family. God has protected us from all harm and ill intentions of others towards us. I pray God will make my son Jon a considerate, patient, charitable, loving, helpful, kind and thoughtful person and also a humble obedient servant of God 'Allah'. 'InshaAllah'.

Jesus the son of Mary

2007-11-19T08:00:00.000-08:00

Jesus was a prophet sent by God 'Allah' for the children of Israel.
He was a human being gifted with extraordinary powers.
His main purpose was to give guidance to the people and to make them aware of the
presence of GOD 'Allah', who is their creator.
His birth was God's miracle.
God who creates this whole universe, and all that lives within, has only to say 'be it' and its done. He does not need any helper.
Jesus prays to the one God 'Allah', and this is the God we pray to till today.
He is not the son of God but only a servant of God just like any other prophet.
It is ridiculous to assume that God the creator of this universe and the world we live in, would go down to the level of his creation by resuming the form of a human being.
As a Muslim leader he leads others to live in the way that is prescribed by God.
The Israelis, although they knew what he preaches was right, hated him. They chased him and wanted to kill him. Jesus ran for his life, but was cornered. God 'Allah' saved him. God lifted Jesus to his side (only He knows where). Amongst the Israels that chased him, there was one that was ahead of them all. This person entered the room where Jesus was, but of course Jesus is not there anymore. A while later the crowd arrived and found the guy who was ahead of them in the room. To them that was Jesus. They caught him and crucified him. Little did they know the person they crucified was not Jesus.
Jesus is safe with God the creator, and he will be sent down again to this world, body and soul, and one of the first things he will do is to make right the religion of God 'Allah'. As Muslims we look forward to this moment of truth.

Israelis in North Iraq

2007-11-11T04:36:00.000-08:00

Turkey now has fortified its border with North Iraq with its army and heavy artilleries. All in the state of readiness to strike at anytime. There's great tension building up with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK),Party For Free Life In Kurdistan (PJAK)in Northern Iraq. Talks have been going on between US officials and the European officials with the Turkish Prime Minister.
I hope some kind of peaceful settlement will come out of all this.
What's disturbing to know is that, amidst all this, the Israelis seem to be having another agenda of their own. They have been buying land in North Iraq.
What are they up to? I am sure the US is aware of this.
North Iraq is also a neighbor to Iran.
Besides Oil, they could be building up some kind of defense build up of their own.
This will definitely cause Iran to speed up with its Nuclear ambition.
Another big crisis. Unless something is done.

Daimond to glass. Glass to daimond.

2007-11-10T06:36:00.000-08:00

In this world there's the privileged and there's the non privileged.
The privileged are seen in limousines, luxury cars,expensive sport cars, banquets and at the high end shopping arcades and but of course live in big banglow houses.
The non privileged will of course be seen walking, some on bicycles or buses or even in some old cars and they live in low cost flats or some run down homes in the suburbs.
Imagine these two contrasting lifestyle.
Now lets take a beautiful lady from a privileged family and another from a non privileged family. We give each of them a ring to wear on their finger. A glass stoned ring to the privileged and a real diamond to the non privileged.
We present them to the people at large. Guess what happens??
The glass ring becomes a diamond ring on the rich lady's finger and the diamond ring becomes glass on the poor lady's finger.
With all the intelligence that we acquire in our lives, we can still be fooled.
Think about it.

Viceroy on earth

2007-11-10T05:35:00.000-08:00

Human beings are the best of all the creations of God (Allah) in this whole universe.
Perfected and independent in thoughts and deeds.
Given with the knowledge and wisdom to evaluate and appreciate the good and the ability to detect what's bad or evil.
This Earth is our inheritance from God, to live, to love, to share and to mold and accommodate in accordance to our needs.
The intelligence incorporated in our brains makes us a superior being above all other God's creations.
All of us have a purpose on this Earth, as programed by the Supreme Universal Intelligence (Allah).
How we go about our daily lives and how we overcome obstacles in life as it confronts us, is the ultimate challenge for everyone of us.
With feelings of sadness and happiness we trail along the winding road that finally ends up confronting Him (Allah), our creator.

We are but a Viceroy of 'Allah' (God) here on Earth.

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS...

2006-08-28T07:11:00.003-07:00

All my life I have always dreamt of meeting a girl of my dreams. A girl when I see her, I will hold her in my arms and kiss her without any hessitation.
The first woman in my life that loves me, was my mother. She will hold me in her arms and kiss me, but she is not the girl in my dreams.
Then came my sister Jeni. There were times when I held her and kiss her I guess, but she's not the girl of my dreams.
Then another sister came along, Lina. I can remember much more of her when she was a baby because I was then much older. I did hold her in my arms, I did carry her around and I did kiss her, but then she is not the girl in my dreams.
As time passes by I naturally got interested in girls and had some girlfriends, but none of them are the girl of my dreams.
One fine day I got married to my wife Faridah. I love her very much and she's been a wonderfull wife and we have three children, all boys. I thought this is the one girl I have been dreaming of all these years, but no, she's not.
I kept on wondering when and where am I going to find this girl of my dreams. Years went by and I am getting older and older. I thought I might just give up and forget about it.
Then my eldest son Jon got married to a pretty young lady Rin. I thought, 'Could this young lady be the girl in my dreams?" No, no, no, she is not the one.
One day, I was at the Maternity Ward in a Medical Centre. My wife and all my children was present too. We were in the waiting room, when all of sudden, my son Jon, came busting through the door crying out, "It's a girl." I can see the gleam in his face as he came and hug me.
Me, my wife and our two other boys were so happy.
After delivery the nurse washed the baby and later the baby was handed over to the mother. We all went inside, and for the first time I set my eyes on this beautiful baby girl. I picked her up and kiss her and say my prayers to 'Allah, swt'. In my heart a voice cried out, "Thank you Allah for this 'heaven sent', this beautifull baby girl , this girl, the girl I have been dreaming all my life, she's finally here, with me, I'll love her till the end of my days ."
I am your Grandad and you will always be my pretty baby Eriqa, the girl of my dreams.

HOW TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE...

2006-08-14T07:13:00.000-07:00

Every single person living in this world will have to strive each and everyday of their life. There will be the good times and there will be the bad times. When times are good we are happy but when times are bad, well this is the time we worry and life becomes stressfull. Today we feel the stress much more because of the fast moving events that is taking place and we have to live in a much more corrupted environment. So as a Muslim how do we find comfort, peace of mind, contentment, happiness and freedom from worries and anxiety?? There is only one sure way of finding a good life with complete happiness and joy.

1. FAITH AND RIGHTEOUS DEEDS.. This is the greatest and the most fundamentle means. As qouted in the 'Quran'
Whoever works righteousness wether male or female while he or her is a true believer, verily We will give a good life and We shall pay them a good reward in proportion to best that they do. [al Nahl 16:97]

2. BE KIND AND HELP OTHERS AND SAY GOOD THINGS TO THEM AND DO GOOD AT ALL TIMES.. This is one of the means of removing worry, destress and anxiety. As quoted in the 'Quran',
There is no good in most of their secret talks but for him who gives charity [Sedekah] or do good deeds [Makruf] as ordained by 'Allah' swt., or seek conciliation between mankind, he who do this seeking the good pleasure of 'Allah' swt., We will accord him a great reward. [al-Nisa 4:114]

3. OCCUPY ONESELF DOING GOOD DEEDS AND SEEK FOR BENEFICIAL KNOWLEDGE.. The believer is distinguished by his faith, sincerity and hope for a reward by his aquisition of knowledge whilst learning or teaching and occupies himself with work that is beneficial to him or others and enjoy doing it. This will ward off anxiety and disturbing thoughts.

4. FOCUS ONE'S THOUGHT TO THE PRESENT DAY AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE OR GRIEVE ABOUT THE PAST.. We must learn not to regret the things of the past of which we cannot go back and make it right and we must learn not to worry what the future has in store for us. What is important is that we should make the best of things today and hope that 'Allah' swt., will be pleased with it and pray for his guidance for tommorrow's events. This way you will never have to worry again about yesterday for all that has happen are 'Allah's' will, and 'He' knows what is best for us. This understanding will set our minds to act positively in any work that we do today and with the help of 'Allah' swt., the result will be good and there will be no regrets. This will give you peace of mind.

5. REMEBER 'ALLAH' swt., ALL THE TIME [ZIKIR].. We must always remember 'Allah' swt., all the time. As quoted in the 'Quran',
'Verily, in the rememberance of 'Allah' do hearts find rest' [al Ra'd 13:28]
Zikir has a great effect on us because it has a special influence in the hopes of getting great rewards from 'Allah' swt.

6. ELEMINATE THINGS THAT MAKES US WORRY AND TRY TO ACHIEVE THINGS THAT MAKES US HAPPY.. We must try to forget the bad things in the past, it is no use to dwell on them for we cannot change it. Do not waste time on it. If we have done something bad we must beg for forgiveness [taubat] from 'Allah' swt., with the hope that He will forgive us for He is
Ever Forgiving, and with that we move on. As for the future, we just do what we can today with the hope of a better tommorrow, and the rest we leave it to 'Allah' swt. If He wills it we will achieve what we asked for, but if we do not get what we asked for, we must always trust 'Allah' swt., on His decision for He knows best. He created us and He knows what is good for us and what is not. Maybe what we ask for is not suitable for us. Maybe we are meant for something better. If this is the way you think you will find yourself at peace and your situation will improve and will be relief of worry and anxiety. Our blessed Prophet Muhammad [May the blessings of 'Allah' be upon him] always recite these doas:
i) ' Oh Allah, correct my religious commitments which is the foundation of my life, and correct my worldly matters in which is my livelihood, and grant me good in the hereafter to which is my return. Make my life a means of accumulating good, and make my death a respite for me from all evil.' [Narated by Muslim]

ii) ' I hope for your mercy, so do not abandon me to myself even for a moment, and correct all my affairs, there is no other 'God' but You.' [Narated by Abu Dawood]

7. THINK OF THE WORST THAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN WHEN FACED WITH A DISASTER, A CALAMITY OR A MISFORTUNE.. Learn to accept any misfortune that befalls on us, as it is the will of 'Allah' swt., and think of the worst that could have happen instead. You will feel relieved when you realise that what had happen was not that bad because there are others facing worst situations. One should try to ward off all the negative thoughts by focussing and occupying oneself in doing positive activities to make things better for him or herself and for the family. By doing this, one will feel better and with the help of 'Allah' swt., the situation around him or her will be even better than it was before, 'Inshaallah'.

8. STEADFASTNESS OF THE HEART AND NOT BEING DISTURBED BY IMAGINARY THINGS THAT BAD THOUGHTS MAY BRING TO MIND.. Imagining negative situations can instil fear, anger, frustration and confusion. This will lead you to worry for nothing, feeling distressed and end up feeling sick mentally and physically and could lead you to a nervous breakdown. One must put his or her trust in 'Allah' swt., and not to give in to imagination or let bad thoughts overwhelm him or her. It should be noted that our way of life will go in line with the way we think. If your thoughts are of things that will bring you benefits in your spiritual or worldly afairs, than your life would be a good and happy one. Otherwise it will be the opposite. We all must put all our trust in 'Allah' swt.
'And whosoever puts his trust in 'Allah', then He will suffice him' [al Talaaq 65:3]
If bad things happen to us or there is a fear of such, you should count the many blessings that 'Allah' swt., has given to us and which we still enjoy, be it spiritually or worldly and compare it to the bad things you are faced with. You will come to realise the things overcome the bad things, and this will make you feel better.
Ibn al Qayyim summed fifteen ways through which 'Allah' swt., may dispel worries and regrets.
They are as follows:
1- believe in the oneness of All Mighty God 'Allah' swt.
2- believe in the oneness of the divine nature.
3- believe in the divine names of 'Allah'.
4- believe that 'Allah' is always there to extend help.
5- the wrong is the result of our own doings and not 'Allah'.
6- remembering 'Allah' by his divine names, the most outstanding is Al-Hayy and Al-Qayyum.
7- seeking help from 'Allah' alone.
8- having full trust in 'Allah' and leaving matters to Him.
9- affirming one's hope in 'Allah'
10-reading the 'Quran' seeking knowledge.
11-seeking forgiveness from 'Allah'.
12-repent from wrong doings.
13-jihad in the name of 'Allah'.
14-perform prayers deligently.
15-be humble and accepting the fact that one is weak and useless and whatever that one has or do is by the grace of 'Allah' with His consent.

Only 'Allah' knows and may He bless us all.

CLOSE DOWN GUANTANAMO BAY DETENTION CAMP

2006-06-29T08:43:00.000-07:00

Amnesty International, the good people of the world and each and every Muslim on this earth denounce America for upholding the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp.
It has come to light that the inmates are being tortured, abused and treated inhumanly.
President Bush being an honourable person he is, have the authority to stop all these atrocities conducted in the camp. These inmates mostly Muslims are being held for no particular reason. They have been considered as terrorist, but they are actualy fighting for their country which America has invaded. They can be classified as POW but even then, there are International laws to abide during their detention. For the sake of all Americans and the people of the world this detention camp should be closed immediately.

ISLAM CRYSTAL CLEAR

2006-04-13T09:40:00.000-07:00

Knowledge is from 'God' our creator. Each of us are entrusted with some of it.
We can read the Quran, over and over again but only a few will comprehend its content in depth. Sometimes facts are so crystal clear but most of us are just plain ignorant.
We fail to see or we just can't be bothered.
When we are asked, 'What is ISLAM'?
The answer they will come up with is , 'The way of life'.
From the professors to the students and the lay man on the streets their answer will be , 'The way of life', and this is being accepted all over the world.
I am not saying its wrong, but to my understanding, ISLAM is much more than that.

Behold.. In the creation of the heavens and the earth;
In the alternation of the nights and day;
In the sailing of the ships through the ocean
For the profit of mankind;
And the rain which Allah sends down from the skies,
And the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead;
In the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth;
In the change of the winds, and the clouds which they trail like their slaves
Between the sky and the earth.
{Here} indeed are signs for a people that are wise.

{Al Quran...Baqarah 164}

To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and on the earth;
To Him do all questions go back [for decision].

{Al Quran...Ali Imran 109}

I qoute these two verses of the Al Quran at random as translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali.
In fact there are many other verses expressing the dominance of 'God' over this world and all the universe. Now I say, all the universe because there is the possibility that there are other galaxies besides the one we are living in, and all of this is in 'His' control and belongs to 'Him'.
This is something all Muslims must acknowledge.
When 'God' says ,'To 'Him' belongs all that is in the heavens and earth', it simply implies that 'He' owns all the universe and this world we live in, including all life on earth which includes you and me. 'He' is the 'God allmighty'. ['Allah' subhana wataala.]

As the creator, everything 'He' creates has a purpose and a specific function, from the smallest of atoms in the admosphere, the cells in our body to the largest of mountains on earth and the overall structure of the universe. The universal intelligence of 'God' is something no human being can imagine.
With the understanding that all 'God's' creation has its function, it is therefore logical that each and everything submits to 'His' will. It is 'His' will that the world ratates on its axist, it is 'His' will that the moon rotates around the earth, it is 'His' will that all the planets rotates around the sun and it is 'His' will that life in this world lives. All these submits to 'His' will in acordance to the guide lines 'He' has specified without any hesitation. All things respond to 'His' command simultaneously in harmony. He shapes everything in line with its function. Now what about these pea brained scientist who says there was a big bang? These pea brained humans think they have answers to everything. If there was a big bang , than how do you explain the specific shapes of the planets in our solar system? Why are some planets with a moon rotating around it? Why must the planets rotate around the sun? Understand this oh people of the world, that there is no denial that there exist a 'God' the 'One God' that rules this universe. Scientist can carry on with their researches with the evidence that 'God' has provided but they can never create something from nothing.

With the understanding of the dominance of the 'One God' over all things in this universe, the things that are around you including ourselves and the compulsion of all these submiting to 'His' will, is the clear evidence of ISLAM.

ISLAM means to submit to the one command of the 'Allmighty God' [ALLAH].
This is ISLAM since the begining of time and this is what the prophets of the world preached to their people. Eversince Adam, Abraham, Moses , Jesus and Muhammad [May the blessings of 'God' be upon them]. They were very clear in thier teachings. It is only the humans who are trying to make changes favourable to themselves. Presently there is only one 'God's Book' that is in its original text, and that is the 'Quran'.

The 'God's Book' that is the 'Quran' teaches humans 'The Way Of Life' that is accepted by 'God', and with the physical example potrayed by the Prophets of the world and the last of the Prophets of 'God' is Muhammad [May the blessings of 'Allah" be upon him].

I sincerely hope this blog will clarify any doubts and will put us all in focused with the reality of ISLAM. [May 'God' bless all of us].

I write this in accordance to my understanding. [Only 'God' has all knowledge].

Our prayer to the 'One God'

2006-04-01T09:23:00.000-08:00

All praise is due to the 'One God', the creator of the whole universe and this world we live in.
'He' is the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.
'He' has the power to create everything we are exposed to now and 'He' has the power to end it all at any time 'He' wishes as 'He' is the overall 'King' of the Universe.

To 'Him' we bow our heads in prayer in full respect of the power 'He' has over us and our affairs,
and to 'Him' we ask for help in our state of helplessness as nothing can happen without 'His' will.

We ask of 'Him' to lead and guide us on the righteous and straight path.
A path in which we are able to gain 'His' favour and blessings like that of the people of the past whom 'He' has favoured and blessed.
We ask 'Him' to give us the strength to refrain from any wrong doings which can lead to 'His' anger on to us and to keep us away from those people who are astray from the rihgteous path, people who are condemned by 'Him'. (Fatihah Al-Quran)

Amin [So be it].

This is the prayer of every 'Muslim'. It is also the opening and the begining of 'The Holy Quran',
which has been sent down to our great 'Prophet Muhammed' [May the blessings of' Allah' be upon him].
This prayer poised us humans in a state of helplessness and ever so in need of 'His' consent and assistance in each and every thing that we do. 'He' created every little cell in our body and 'He' knows what we think, what we say and what we do.
'He' knows what is in store for us tommorrow and the days to come, but we know not.
We can plan for our future undertakings but it is 'He' who determines its success. Not all that we plan is good for us. Only 'He' knows what's good and what's bad for us.
This bountyful world is for us reap and harvest in order to sustain our lifelyhood. There are some who gets more than they need and there are some who gets just enough and some barely enough to survive. It is compulsary for those who have more than enough to supplement or give to those in need. This is the balance of need as in zakah.
Rich or poor humans in the eyes of 'God' is the same. The rich will be tried with their riches and the poor with poverty. There are many obstacles or problems that we have to go through in our lives. We need 'His' help in order to solve them. If any human think they can manage without 'God's' help they can be categorised as arrogant towards 'God'.
It is very important that we have to guide ourselves in accordance to what is being stated in the 'Holy Book Al Quran' and the examples as stated in the 'Hadiths' of our Prophet Muhamad [May the blessings of Allah be upon him] so as to be in 'God's' favour at all times.
In todays world there are two things that has caused many humans to go astray from the righteous path, riches and freedom of sex. [I have written on freedom of sex in my last blog.]

I pray that this blog will reach the hearts of those who read it and may 'God' extend his favour on to them and make them turn to him in prayers.

Please note that my translation of the surah 'Al Fatihah' is in the form of my understanding. The original which is in Arabic is the most precise. Only 'God' knows.

Faith and Religion

2006-03-01T07:55:00.000-08:00

Faith is to rely fully, trusting whole heartedly, truthfulness, without doubt, complete confidence, a feeling of inner security, feeling safe, assured, being cared for within reasons of logic. Faith comes within ones self. It develops within us based on knowledge and facts without the slightest of doubt.
Religion is a belief that most people cling to due to cultural heritage, honouring a great man in the past, mystical stories of the past thus creating statues or any kind of ornaments or objects to represent or remind them of such individuals or incidences of the past. To apply these religion as faith would mean to make believe in them.

A religion of make belief is not Faith.
To believe in a religion is not Faith either.
Faith is Faith as Faith is in Islam.

Terrorism Spells Weakness

2006-02-24T08:05:00.000-08:00

I have been trying to write on terrorism for a long time now, for I feel its been widespread all over the world and almost everybody is trying to write about it but they are very much one sided or baised.
First of all lets analyse what terrorism means. Terrorism means voilence and intimidation that causes people to be frighten, scared, horrified, bullied, afraid, petrified, in astate of shocked, in a state of ransom, tortured, humiliation, suppression, cornered and helplessness. People who uses their strength, weapons or authority or ideology and cause anyboby in a state of terror of any kind is a terrorist.
Today there are people who resort to the tactics of terrorism for their own benefits. Why is this so? Simply because they are weak in intelligence, weak in discussions, weak in diplomacy, weak in support and weak in military capabilities. I think this is a fair assesment.
From here I think we can understand as to who are using terrorism as an agressor , who are using it as a revenge, who are using it to protect themselves and their homeland and who are using it for political gains.
There were times at school where students were bullied by some seniors who extort money from them. This is terrorism.
There were times where a gang of people held your family member at gun point demanding you to pay money. This is terrorism.
There are countries using their military might to invade another country for no particular reason. This is terrorism.
There are people resorting to avenge their agressors by means of suicide bombings. This is terrorism.
There is a long list of these incidents happening in the world today, but the worst of all terrorism is to torture, humiliate and kill captives in prison who are in the state of helplessness.
Put yourselves in their position and think how it feels like.
To think that a country like America that champions democracy can resort to these tactics of terrorism on to the inmates in Guantanamo Bay and the Abu Ghaib prisons, is very sad indeed.
It just makes you think how they are training their young military personnels in to being a terrorist rather than a peace keeper.
There is an old saying 'Do not do to others what you do not want done unto you'. This is something to think about and it applies to each and evryone of us who believes in keeping peace in this world of ours.

ISLAM: Face the fact

2006-01-28T09:16:00.000-08:00

There is only one 'God' the creator of all the universe, with all the planets, the sun, the moons and the stars including this world we live in. All these 'God's' creation has very specific functions and so are the humans in this world with everything that you see around you. They all respond to the command of the one 'God'....'Allah' . Everything that responds to the command of the one 'God' is ISLAM.
Would you believe if I were to say that each and every individual human born in this world is an ISLAM? The answer is yes they were, until their parents misguided them. Of course many non muslims will not want to agree with me. Its alright if they want to believe in their religion of their choice its up to them. Muslims are tought to be patient and to be tolerant. Its only when these people try to meddle in our islamic affairs that we will take the appropriate action. If the people in America or the Europeon countries take the the trouble to understand Islam the way a muslim must, they will be more understanding in their comments towards ISLAM or the Prophet Muhammad [May Allah bless him and give him peace]. Freedom of expression or freedom of press is no excuse for anyone to humiliate the prophet Muhammad [May Allah bless him and give him peace]. In fact if you must know Muhammad [May Allah bless him and give him peace] is the most perfect human being ever born to this world. Anybody who writes or condemn the prophet Muhammad [May Allah bless him and give him peace] will live to regret it while they are still in this world.
The revelations of the Quran that the prophet brought to this world is complete and will stay relevant until the end of time. There is no individual or community that can write a complete 'book' like the 'Quran'. They can use up the ink as much as the volume of water in the seven seas and still will not have a complete book like the 'Quran'.
So watch it people , wether you believe or you don't believe in 'God', we muslims and the one 'God'....'Allah' is watching you. You cannot escape from 'God', He's got a 'chip' placed inside you and He knows where you are at any given time.

ANIMALS IN THE FORM OF HUMANS??

2006-01-25T10:03:00.000-08:00

As a human being we are able to realize and identify what is good and what is bad for us.
We will also have the ability to tap the resources available in this world and create things that are beneficial to us and to other humans. What I am getting at is that we humans have the intelligence beyond any other creatures in this world. We can acquire abandunce knowledge but we must have the discipline to guide ourselves with that knowledge. There is an answer to every question in our heads. It's a matter of how and where to look for it. When we are confronted with a problem or some kind of a bad situation we are able to detect it and solve it by means of our disciplined and guided individual minds.

What is happening today is that some so called humans do not want to be guided. They want to live a life of 'total freedom'. This 'total freedom' has caused the world to have a sick society of humans. Humans with intelligence but with the behavior of that of animals. These sick humans are trying to preach to the world their kind of 'total freedom', which actually means free sex.
Free sex between man and woman because they don't believe in marriage. The women who are in agreement to this kind of life are tossed around from men to men. They are worst than the prostitutes who give their services for their own survival. There are also those who have the preference of man to man and woman to woman relationships. I wonder if this is practiced by the animals. What can you say these people have a sick brain. They are trying hard to change the mind set of us humans to their kind of 'freedom'. The intelligence and knowledge they have acquired changed them into being a filthy sick human being. They are out to corrupt the young minds. What they look for is the lust for sex to satisfy their sexual fantasy. They do not value other people's lives, worst they do not value their own lives. They spread diseases all over the world, venereal disease, aids, gonorrhoea and other sexual related diseases. Today we see children being born to this world infected with these diseases. All because of humans who are selfish, sick and filthy with their lust for sex. Many babies are born fatherless because they don't believe in marraige. Can you imagine a child being brought up without parents? They do not take any responsibility whatsoever and they do not feel guilty at all. After all they are animals in the form of human beings.

Come to think of it, these people are hypocrites. They preach 'total freedom' but they are actually kidding themselves. When they were young they lived with their parents and therefore they are being guided by their parents rules. When they are in schools, colleges or universities they are guided by the rules and regulations of the institution. When they are out working they are guided by the rules and regulations of the administration they are attached to. In each country there is a constitution and these people has to abide by it. This actually means there is no total freedom. If there is any country in this world that constitutes total freedom they should realise by now that this freedom clause in their constitution is flawed. What I am trying to stress here is that these people preaching total freedom are actually preaching sexual freedom.
These animals in the form of humans cannot be accepted by any religion. They do not believe in 'God' the creator of the universe and the world we live in. They believe they exist by chance. They do not believe they have a creator. Nowadays they are able to voice out their ideology through some organisations like the freedom fighters, human rights activist, weman's liberation and other forms of organisations.

I call on all the other human race not to accept this concept of 'total freedom' or should I say sexual freedom. Stay away from these sick people. Some of them maybe influential preists, singers, writters or even politicians. They are out to destroy the human race and this world we live in. These degrading humans must be contained. They must not be allowed to preach and corrupt the younger generations. Leaders of the world should take note of this. If nothing is done to stop them they will destroy the future generations of this world.

Can you imagine what kind of life it would be when the children in the future do not have parents to give guidance. They do not know their parents and have no home to go back to.
Most probably they will be on the streets. What about the child born with infected disease. What kind of life is in store for him? All this as a result of this sick and filthy idoelogy of sexual freedom or 'total freedom'. These sick and filthy brained humans are seeking recognition in our humane society.
MAKE THEM AN OUTCAST NOW BEFORE THEY MAKE AN OUTCAST OF OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
THEY ARE OUR HIDDEN ENEMIES WITH THE CAMOUFLAGE OF EXPRESSING FREEDOM AND LOVE TO THE WORLD.
I pray to the one 'God' to save all the other humans and to protect us from these animals in human forms backed by the satan.

Truthful World ?

2006-01-19T06:16:00.001-08:00

When we were young our parents always taught us to speak the truth and to be honest.
Even the parents of today still do the same. Besides this, we are always told to mind our manners and behave ourselves, that is to be good at all times.
Basically you can say that every individual human in this world has been implanted in their innerselves the strength and urge of becoming a pleasant human being. Why are we different today?

In todays world people are lying everywhere. They lie to their parents, they lie to their family members, they lie to their friends, they lie to their employees, they lie to their spouses and they lie to their communities. So much so its hard to believe in anybody, even if a person is telling the truth. In the courts today lawyers will try to do whatever it takes to win a case, even if they knew their clients are lying. The police when a person is arrested due to an accident or any offence, will demand the suspect to admit to the offence, in order to close the case. Come elections politicians lie to the public in order to gain support by promising things they know they cannot keep. The world leaders lie in order to get their proposals approved by submitting false information to the UN. Captives are being abused but the authorities deny such things happening. Some people even lie to themselves by believing something to be good when actually it is not. Liars are everywhere today, and to find a truthful person is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Naturally when a person is a liar he or she can not be an honest person. You can lie all you want but you can never lie to your creator 'God' the creator of the universe , the world we live in, with everything in it, including you and me.

How many of us are actually going to 'Heaven' ? No one can answer that except the one 'God'.
With all the prophets from the begining of time until Muhammad s.a.w. , who preaches people to the righteous path for their own good, the people at large are still in conflict with each other till today. Everyone of them is saying they are right and the other is wrong. Some even try to change the teachings of the prophets to suit their own believes. Even in Islam it has been divided into many sects when actually there is only one Islam. There has been a lot of thoughts and ideas of teachers , ulamas and leaders implanted in the past. The young kids learning today do not know which is the right one. There is only one path to achieve true Islam and that is through the guidance of the 'Quran' and the 'Hadiths' of the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Every individual Muslim must make an effort to do research on their own. They cannot fully believe a teacher or an ulama without making their own research. For eventually you will be unswerable to 'God' not them.

Read too much hatred on Islam

2006-01-16T09:25:00.000-08:00

I have read too many blogs expressing hatred towards Islam, so I just feel that I have to focuss writting on Islam in a most simple way for it to be understood by all.
First of all Islam is not a religion. It is a fact, a reality as clear as the sky, the sea, the mountains and all that you see around you.
It is being tought as a religious study because we do not want to offend other religious practices. You can be in Islam and be a muslim or you can be out of it.
To be in Islam you have to realise, understand and accept that there is only one 'God', the creator of the universe, the world we live in, with everything in it, including you and me.
Being in Islam you must know how to worship 'God', how to ask his forgiveness, how to ask for 'His' guidance in order to earn 'His' blessings. This is shown by accepting 'Muhammad' the prophet [May Allah bless him and give him peace] who reveals the 'Quran' which consist the teachings of 'God' and the examples of previous encounters of other prophets before him.
Muhammad [May Allah bless him and give him peace] is the best example of a perfect human being.
If any of those who criticise Islam were really reading about the Prophet Muhammad [May Allah bless him and give him peace] they can very well understand Islam.

The Human we are...

2006-01-12T04:45:00.000-08:00

In my last blog I touched on the birth of human beings.
Human beings are the most perfect creation of 'God'.
'He' gives them a complete body with a head and limbs attached proportionately.
Though we have been categorised belonging to the group of mammals,
I personally feel that it is wrong. Anyway who am I to comment?
The difference of human beings and other animals is the special brain we have that 'God' has installed on each and every one of us.

We are able to think , reason and analyse things. We are independant and have the ability to create. We can aquire knowledge as much as we can and be a matured understanding person.
The qualities that 'God' possess is being transfered to the human being in proportion to his ability to cope with. 'God' will not burden him with too much of everything.
You can be refered to as a compassionate person but there are others who are much more compassionate than you. You may think you are the most knowlegeable person but there are others who are much more knowledgeable. This goes on and on each individual with their own unique gifts of 'God'. A family of brothers and sisters may have some similarity in them but still they do not have equal proportion of the gifts of 'God'.
These gifts from 'God' was given whilst you are in your mother's womb.

Here I list some of the list of gifts of 'God' :-
Compassionate, Merciful, Might, Protector, Majestic, Creator, Fashioner, Forgiver, Giver, Provider, Knowledgeable, Just, Awareness, Forgiving, Appreciative, Preserver, Mantainer, Generous, Watchful, Responsive, Embracing, Wise, Loving, Glorious, Witness, Truthful, Trusted, Strong, Firm, Praiseworthy, Finder, Noble, Unique, Able, Powerful, Acceptor, Repentance, Avenger, Pardoner, Fair, Gatherer, Enricher, Preventer, Guide and Patience.
All these are some of the qualities from 'God' given to us. [There are more.]
I may not have much knowledge as some of you might have but 'God' give me enough to write on.

In the course of our lives we develop some qualities which is made up of what we are. Such as confidence, egoist, selfish, arrogant, malicious, truthful, liar, contented, aggressive, successful, failure, pious, humble, concieted, defiance, devious, understanding, gentle, rough and so on.
What we are only we know. It is therefore the right of 'God' to question us in the hereafter as to what we have done to the gifts 'He' has given to us upon birth.

Think, ponder, contemplate for a few minutes about you yourself and there is a possibility that you will find the real you.

Some humans say 'seeing is believing'. They cannot see 'God' so they do not believe in 'Him'.
Imagine you in space and looking down at the world. Can you see a human? This pea brained human is questioning 'God' the creator of the universe?

That is how stupid and defiance some human's are .

The life in you lives on...

2006-01-11T04:18:00.000-08:00

The life in all of us is the 'mystical power' that has been entrusted by 'The One God'.

We were once a tiny cell amidst thousands of others carried by our fathers.
It is than transmitted to the ovary of our mothers when they got married.
This tiny cell got itself attached to the egg in the ovary. Thus a tiny clot was formed.
This clott then becomes a foetus. The feotus then grows into a perfect baby feeding
on to the nutrients it gets from the mother's womb.

For a period of nine months or so, a baby is born with all the features of a perfect
human being. The baby gives a first cry 'Aheeee' .
Have you ever wondered why an innocent 'clean' baby cries comming into this world?
Its as though the baby has some kind of information with regards to what can be expected
in the life ahead. 'God the all knowing' and our 'Creator' has preordained the destiny of
the child. Believe it or not, as our creator he is aware of all things, the past, the present
and the future. With the life given attached to a secrete mission to find the path back to "God'
and to go through the devious plots of the Satan, is something we can cry too.
Only 'God' knows.

The baby will then learn first of all from the parents, the family and the environment
around him. He will aquire knowledge as he grows into a young boy, teenager and
later a man. As a man he would have aquired knowledge enough to know where he
is heading. He will know his stand. Is he with 'God' or with the Satan.
'God the Compasionate, the Forgivimg' awaits you.

When your time is up an angel will visit you. The angel of death will seize your life
without any hesitation, not a second longer. You will then leave your body to others
for burial. Thus ends the task that 'God' has entrusted you with the life 'He' gave you.
No more pleadings or appeals, what you have done or said be it by way of action or
thoughts has been accounted for. All these reports will be forwarded to 'God' your 'Creator'.
You and you alone will be answerable to 'God'. 'He' takes back that mystical power of life
from you.

For those who do not believe in the existance of 'God', I can only describe them as
ignorant arragont fools. The evidence of 'His' presence is so real and is starring right in
your faces. It is therefore understandable that there must be a punishmnent for those who
disbelieve 'Him' or those who wronged 'Him' or those who are ungrateful to 'Him'. Besides
this, people who steal, rape, murder, cheat, lie or cause hurt and hardship or injustice to any other human being must be punished for their deeds. As the 'Creator' he knows what is
in store for them in 'Hell'.

For the believers I am sure there is a reward that awaits you. Your life will be a pleasant
one. 'God' knows what you love and what you like and the 'Heaven' you dwell will be just
right for you.

By way of reasoning and believing in 'God' , "Heaven' and 'Hell' do exist. "God' is Fair and
Just in his judgements on all humans and therefore must reward or punish them accordingly.
Our life therefore lives on and on even in the Hereafter.

I would like to appeal to all who read this blog of mine to pray to 'God', and seek forgiveness
for their loved ones who has passed away for they are alive somewhere only 'God' knows.

ISLAM THE REALITY

2006-01-08T09:57:00.000-08:00

What is 'Islam'?

Islam means to submit or obey to the one command without qeustion and without fail.

The universe with all its planets circling around the sun.
The sun producing heat, energy and light without exhaustion.
The Earth rotating on its axis.
The moon circling around the Earth.
The cyrcle of life that goes on and on in this world.
All this responding to the ONE command without question and without fail.
That is the command of the one 'God' the creator of all the universe, the world we live in with everything in it including you and me.

This is "ISLAM".

The begining of the human race..

2006-01-06T06:34:00.000-08:00

The first human created by 'God' was Adam.
'God' than summoned all the Angels to bow and give due respect to this human male.
All the Angels gave their respects without question for they all abide to 'God's' command.
All but Satan or 'Iblis'.
'God' created Satan with fire and He created Adam with clay. Therefore Satan feels he is much more powerful and much more honourable than the human.
Thus starts the first ever conflict of this universe.
Satan was banished from the Heavens. He than made a strong condemnation that he will do all he can to hinder and block the human race from the true path of righteousness leading to 'God'.
Later 'God' created Eve another human of different gender, female. She is to be Adam's companion and wife.
Satan detects the weakness of this female human and slowly enticed her to eat the forbiden fruit.
Adam was also taken in by the wife's persuasion and took a bite. Thus he choked and that is why all males today has an Adam's apple in their throat.
'God' banish the both of them from the Heavens and put them down to this Earth of ours.
Thus the human race begins.
In this life on Earth we are to find the righteous path to 'God' and it will not be easy because there is Satan with his devious plans, thoughts and ideas making it difficult. He will not stop until he is sure that all humans are with him and not 'God'.
Satan will use anything and anybody as his tool to accomplish his plan.
The only way to be protected from Satan's trap is to ask for 'God's' help.
Turn to 'God' and be a righteous human being, my fellow humans. For only 'God' your creator can keep you safe from all the wrongs in this world we live in.

'GOD' the creator of the universe, the world we live in, with everything in it, including you and me...

2006-01-05T06:39:00.000-08:00

It is only logical that in everything there must be a begining.
Thus there must be a Supreme Power and Intelligence that have created this whole universe, and the world we live in.
The universe is created with its prescribed momentum as though it has a life of its own.
So is this world of ours and the moon that we see.
As humans living in this world, we are part of the momentum of life.
There is a cycle in almost everything that we see in this world.
Those who are too proud to admit the existance of 'God', call it the law of nature.
To me and for those who believe in 'God' says its 'God's Law'.
Face it for no human could have created the universe. Its impossible.
No human can call himself God, for he is also being created.
No human can make God out of wood, clay, stones, iron or out of any other substances that can be found in this world which is already being created. It does not make sense.
People in general are very intelligent and clever. They know how to analyse and reason out things for themselves, but when it comes to 'God' they become ignorant.
They prefer to follow their fore father's believes, no matter how ridiculous it may be.
It could be that all religion leads to 'The One God', but the followers had strayed away from the original teachings. Like making a statue of their teacher in rememberance and thus the later generations has taken those statues as God. Not many people really take time to study about their religion. Most of them follow whatever the elders do.
Do not be proud and arrogant towards 'God'. He is our creator and he knows what we think in our hearts and in our heads.
He provides us the abandance knowledge to enable us to mould the substances we find in this world and make it into something useful for our comfortable living. Yes, naturally there will be some peolpe who will want to use it for their own selfish reasons and it doesn't matter if other people die as long as they live and prosper out of it.
'God' is the nucleus of all Powers, the All-knowing and the creator of all things in this galaxy and other galaxies we know not of.
There is only one 'God', and the most correct word to discribe 'God' is the Arabic word 'Allah'.

The moon is blue.

2006-01-01T07:33:00.000-08:00

I have a brother who is one year older than me. His name is Mr. J, by the way I am Mr. M. I was very close to him when I was young. We were always together, and he always look out for me.
There was a time when we were eight or nine, we use to like songs by Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka and many more I just can't list here. Anyway at that time my brother was like getting interested in girls already. As for me I don't really care but all the same I will tag along with him all day. We are usually not alowed to go out of the compound of our house. Our parents were quite strict.
One day he told me he was interested in a girl, living in a house that is at the back of our house. That is Miss Z. I really do not know how he contacted her, but there were letters going through the fence, back and forth. I always look up to him like he's my idol, because to me he is the clever one. He use to have a song book all written in his own writting with all the decorative writtings and photos of singers. He would colour the song titles and to me its the most beautiful song book I have ever did seen. I tried doing my own but I just can't compete 'cos my writing was horrible. Anyway this letter writing relationship was going on for some time, and I understand they did meet each other in a few occations. I remember there was one time this girl did come to our house.
As a normal young boy I could sense that he was in love with this girl. He will talk about her, he will peek through the back window wishing to see a glimpse of her. Of course when getting a reply there will be the gleam in his face. Today I would say its just puppy love. All the same, that time in his life was a beautiful one and he manage to compose a song which I never could forget till today. It is a short one but full of meanings and for a boy at that time I think its cool. The song goes like this:

The moon is blue because of you,
The sun is red when you are sad,
The clouds are purple you don't like people,
The moon is blue.

This is all that I can remember.

Begging

2005-12-30T07:56:00.000-08:00

Everywhere you go in this world, you can find people begging for food or money. I was in the United Kingdom few months back, and stayed in a place called Wood Green. We rented an apartment there as it was cheaper for I had my whole family with me. Wood Green is a nice place, all my family members liked it very much. What I was shocked was to have come across some beggers comming around the apartment. They come to the apartment door and said, " Please sir, can you spare 50 p for the homeless". Being foriegners we were afraid. We just said "Sorry", and closed the door. There was another incident when I was in a bus with my family, a young lady approached me and asked me, "Can you spare a Pound sir, I have not eaten the whole day". I was shocked, but I gave her one pound because I could see that she didn't look good. I guess this is all due to hardship.
A few years back in New Delhi, India, I was also shocked when I got down from the train from Madras. It was night, I don't remember the time, I could see a lot of people sleeping all over the railway station. They were sleeping on the floor and the benches. No way can you find a spot to sit, its all occupied. While we were going out to get a taxi, there were a stream of kids chasing after us with thier hands reaching out asking for money. A friend accompanying us told us not to give anything, because it will attract the others and we'll have a big crowd to handle. I manage to give to some of them when I was about to get on the taxi, or is it a tootut. Anyway it was a three wheeler covered motor cycle. We stayed at a place called Ceylon House, since one of our friend was a Ceylonese [Sri Lankan] and he could get us rooms there. Cheap of course. I stayed in Delhi for 3 days and I see beggers almost every corner. I guess I can understand, India being over populated and there are so many people unemployed.
I mention these two places because I personally experienced these incidents. I guess begging is seen everywhere in the world.
Here in Malaysia there are a number of them too. They will be at the Mosques every Friday, at the 'pasar malam' , parking lots and at eating spots at night. Some of them are crippled and some are blind being led by a child. Its a pity sight to see .
My intention of writtng this article is because I feel sad to see all these unfortunate people being neglected. First of all by their own families and secondly by the authorities. Come to think of it, it is more a family responsibility. What happens to 'Charity begins at home'. In Islam the rich must take care of the poor. Begining from the immediate family, than relatives , friends, neighbours and the community. If every family practice this principle, there will hardly be any beggers on the street.
I hearby appeal to all the people of the world to get in contact with their family members who are in need. Help them, feed them make them a useful human being.
The authorities should also step in to those who have nobody to turn to. Put them in shelters.
This will make the world a better place for everybody.

Sadam Hussien

The former Iraqi leader is on trail for the astrocities that happen years ago whilst he was the president. Funny no action was taken when the incidents actually occured. Maybe there were some other people involved? They got the guy who supplied chemicals to Iraq. He is not the only one who was there trying to make money, I am sure there are others. Anyway thats how the world works today if you are not caught you are not guilty. I am just presuming only. I do not have the facts. Why not I don't do anybody any harm. The allied forces who invaded Iraq is worst they presume Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and they destroyed the city of Baghdad and the people of Iraq without having valid facts. The U. S. secretary Mr. Collin resigned because he cannot bear the shame where he was trying to convince UN members with unvalid facts. I can understand him.
Back to Mr. Sadam, when he was president the US ties with Iraq was ok, until he tried to invade
Kuwait. This was actually his downfall I guess. He got greedy. What was his reason I would like to know. Anyway I did meet some Arabs and they told me that some of the Kuwaities actually agreed with Mr. Sadam's move. They feel that Iraq and Kuwait should join together, because they are sharing the oil wealth possibly from the same well. The Kuwaities that oppose this invation are the ones at the top fearing they will loose their grip on the oil wealth. They turn towards US for help. The US helped free Kuwait at the same time helped themselves with some oil wealth.
Now Mr. Sadam is on trial. He will be facing a tough trail. You know why? It is because no matter how effective his lawyers are going to be, the judge by the looks of it, has already got a verdict. This whole court scenario is to proof that justice is done. Mr. Sadam will be executed, I am sorry to say. This is my opinion. We will se how things work out.
Anyway if should Mr. Sadam found guilty by this court orchestrated by the US government, Mr. Bush must also be found guilty for the lost of innocent lives in Iraq. Be it Iraqies or the allied forces. This is for going to war in haste without studying the facts. They can blame it on the Inteligence or the CIA but still the President is responsible. Furthermore he has admitted it. There was no weapons of mass destruction. I forgot Mr. Bush has changed his reason it's to oust the dictatorial leader Mr. Sadam or is it to liberate Iraq. He trying everything he can to validate his decision. Well you cannot right the wrong. That is why his popularity is deteriorating.
Back to Mr. Sadam, seeing him in court, I would say he is not afraid of whatever the outcome of the trail. For all you know he could be innocent of wrong doings. Maybe the masacre implied is executed by his Generals and he is unaware of it. Just like Mr. Bush, he was unaware of inteligence foul up when he made the decision to go to war.
My opinion is that Iraq should be left alone. All allied forces are to leave Iraq now. Let the Iraqies form their government the way they want it to be. The US need not woorry about Iraq or Mr. Sadam. The Iraqies know what to do.
There's going to be a big loss for the US and the allied forces. Thats the price to pay for arrogance, ignorance and sellfishness, but it is the right decision. The allied forces has to cut off the wrong that had been done. Do not prolong what is wrong in the first place, it will only lead you to more wrongs.
The best solution to restore Iraq is to give it back to the rightfull leader Mr. Sadam Hussien.
Peolpe may say I am crazy but thats my opinion.

English Language

2005-12-28T05:04:00.000-08:00

I am an old guy fortunate enough to go through the education system where the English Language was tought in all subjects, except for Bahasa Kebangsaan {Bahasa Malaysia}. I say fortunate because it is the most competetive language today especially on the internet. We have to emphasise the language for the younger generation. It is important for them to master it to compete in a borderless world.
As a patriotic Malaysian, the Bahasa Malaysia must be upheld as a formal language for all Malaysians, but Bahasa Malaysia cannot compete with the English Language when you want to go global. Imagine when delegates are sent for conferences overseas and not being able to understand what is being discussed or worst not being able to speak up when requested to. This will be a disgrace to country. Maybe this has already happen but everything is hushed up. I have visted schools in Malysia especially in Penang and Selangor, and I have spoken to Haedmasters and Headmistresses and I am rather shocked to find that they are unable to converse in English. The teachers teaching the language also do not converse in English. The only time they speak English is when they are teaching the subject. In todays textbooks you can also find gramar mistakes and spelling mistakes. What they are teaching today is only Comunication English and not the language as a whole. It is unfortunate that we are lagging behind Singapopre in education who uphold the old system to date.
What are we going to do? Leave it as it is now? Of course not. That is why Tun Mahadhir our former Prime Minister had to do something drastic before he left the office. He saw the competetiveness ahead and the incompetance of our people facing the global chalenges ahead. That is why he at least implemented English in Science and Marhematical subjects. It is a waste of time to change the scientific and mathematical terms in Bahasa Malaysia. It will only complicate matters.
For those who oppose the implementation of English Language in our education system, I say to them think again. I don't think you are being patriotic at all. We must look at the future generations to come. How far do you want us to lagg behind? There is a case of my own niece who was sent to United KIngdom to further her studies. She could not keep up with her work because she did not understand what the lecturer was saying. {english accent}. She had to pack up and return back. Now she is in our local university. This could happen to any of our children.
Maybe the majority of those who oppose are the Malays. I am a Malay too. Wake up, be a progresive Malay, learn English.
I have no intention of offending anybody, and if there are gramatical mistakes or spelling mistakes please forgive me for I too have not been able to polish my English.

Free World

2005-12-26T06:48:00.000-08:00

Thank 'God' the creator fo all universe, the world we live in with everything in it, including me and you. This world we live in is so beautiful and so wonderful. We inherit it from our forefathers in its natural form with all the fresh clean air and clean water. Thinking about it I guess that's why they can live hundreds of years old.
Time has changed and things are getting to move faster. Lives are shorter and children are springing up all over the globe. The population of the world has grown thus it creates competition among the human race in order to survive and to have a comfortable living. One has to compete in order to move forward. If ever you stop for any reason at all, the others will overtake you, be it in any field you are engaged in. We all have to accept this and try to live our lives the best we can. We have to adapt to the changes around us and compromise to situations we encounter along the way.
Today we are faced with leaders of countries that are well equipt with modern weapons trying to overule and occupy another weaker country. With their weapons they kill innocent human lives without feeling any guilt. They try to reason themselves out of it by making up stories for the people to believe what they are doing is right. Some even associate themselves with religious sentiments. They twist and turn their facts in order to get support. They are even prepared to kill themselves.
While all this is happening business are going on with the latest technology in all kinds of products. All kinds off gasses are poluting the air. The ozone layer is getting thinner. The glaziers are meltting.
Can we ever stop for an instance and think what is going to happen in fiture? What is this world going to be like in 10 or 20 years? I geuss not. Everybody is busy doing their own thing basically to survive.
I would apreciate it if there's something we could do. We are all humans and so are the leaders and rulers of all the countries of the world. The world belong to us. Everyone has got his right. I can't think of anybody will want to destroy this world. We all love this world we live in. Why can't we all live peacefully together in harmony?
The UN is established to have some kind of control on the countries of the world. Why is it that some countries are given vito powers and some have no say at all? Small or big, rich or poor there are human lives living in that country. If countries are well represented , I don't think there will be an Iraq war. People are getting smarter, they graduate from colledges and universities. All these education teaches them deplomacy at all levels of their education. Why is it that they loose their heads when they are at the top?
Mr. Bush, Mr. Blair, Mr Kofi Anan and to all the leaders of the world, calm down take a deep breath and think you are as human as we all are. Think what good you can do to better this world we live in. Do not be selfish when making decisions. Think of how it will effect the people of your country and the peolpe of the world. What has hppen is done nothing can change it. We have to move on.
It will be ideal to have to go anywhere in this world without feeling scared and hassle free. People should not look down on one another. Free to believe in thear religion. Only than can we focus on better human development. People can be focussed on doing what is right. We can be open to discuss what is wrong to avoid future generations making mistakes.
I am a simple man and all I want is peace in this world we live in. Better for me and better for you. A free world for all.

A Fairytale Wedding

2005-12-24T05:56:00.000-08:00

On the 17th. December, that's last Saturday, I attended a wedding. The bridegroom is my nephew. We are actually a very normal common family my brothers and sisters. We were shocked that a family member on the bride side has actualy invited the King and the Queen to be present at the wedding reception. This is a great honour to the whole family, especially to my nephew and his bride. None of us has ever dreamt that this could happen, but it did. The event was well organised and everybody enjoyed themselves. The King and Queen was kind enough to go around meeting guests and shaking thier hands. I was honoured to meet them both. This is
unbelievable yet its true. 'GOD' works in mysterious ways.
