so here's the thing. i dont know what is wrong with me tonight. maybe it's syaaban and it's a few days to my birthday. i'm going to officially turn 24 come 27th Syaaban. maybe it's august and my patriotic conscience suddenly work its way into my conscious mind and urge it to be heard. i dont know. but what i know is that i need to let this out cause it's been bothering me for the past few days and it's disturbing my sleeping cycle. i enjoy my sleep. thus, i need to let this out so a man can have his good night sleep again.
"abandon hope all ye who enter", it's like the words in the door of hell as describe by Dante whenever i think of Malaysia. and it's becoming worse. i love this land, as much as i hate whats going on i still love this piece of land. i love it so much that i am willing to abandon all hope as i enter it. i was reading the paper few days ago and i came across this report on Najib's statement of how we should emphasize on the al-falah concept ( correct me if I'm wrong). How we as Malaysia should actually work to achieve the Islam Hadhari that the government is preaching. wow... seriously, wow...
Big words like Islam hadhari, Al-falah, is more and more common in our daily press, and especially from our leaders, wow. for a moment, i was really impressed by our politician's speech, i was saying to myself "man, if they can actually use such big big words, they must be very intelligent! let's support these people! come on, he's actually using words i've myself never heard before, he's THAT intelligent!" but then when the other me starts to ask questions ( well, we Gemini's have dual personality, those who knows me know that i have this thing about talking to myself), the other me can't say anything. does he knows what is Hadhari? is he an example muslim that i can follow? is he a good leader like muhammad? is he going to bring peace and justice through out the land like Muhammad did, as how all the muslim leader should take example? or is he just rambling bullshit?
Again, correct me if i am wrong, Hadhari is supposedly means civilized, so islam Hadhari should meam a civilized Islam, is islam by itself not civilized ? why do we need to brand it? didn't Islam the religion itself have actually bring civilization to the whole world? i am no historian, but most of the basic understanding and concepts of science, mathematic, literature, philosophy, political science, history, social science have the finger prints of Islamic influences there. why would the government try to brand it as the "civilized " islam, i can never understand. even if i try to pretend that i understand their good-nature effort, there's still one question that is bothering me. Are we working hard enough to be that civilized muslim? are we?
in any great civilization, we can see the remnants of their art pieces, their heritage of culture, knowledge in science and great political history. so, what are we leaving for our future generation? arts? even my 5 year old sister would laugh if she hears that. tune in to any radio station, today and you can actually understand what i am saying. we are singing songs of infidelities, how one man has a part-time lover that he sees on weekdays and another partner on the weekends. there's another song about how a man is boasting about him being the great "don juan" and can get any one he desire. so yes, that's the message we are sending to our future generation. kids, be proud if u have more than one partners! be proud about it! listen to us from the graves. we know what we're talking about!
one might say to me, "aiman, u should look at out tele and films!" and i would say, "what about our tele and film?"
Dalam mana-mana ketamadunan, hirakinya adalah - rakyat, pekerja, kerajaan, seniman, dan ahli-ahli agama. but in Malaysian civilization it's - seniman, rakyat, pekerja, ahli-ahli agama, dan kerajaan. yes, the government rule supreme above all of us, even the clergy. that that is where the problem lies. don't get me wrong, I an never was a supporter of PAS, but supposedly, the clergy should comes 1st. in the end of the day we can't blame the ahli-ahli agama for their inability for not be the 1st in hierarchy. it is their own fault. i had this conversation with a friend recently and she said that she will be praying for my soul for attacking the ulama and orang agama, i tried to explain to her that i am not attacking the ulama and orang agama, i was just trying to point out why they can't make it as the 1st in the hierarchy. If, and i really hope that IF they could just correct themselves, Insyaallah, by Allah's good grace, they may rule supreme and change the whole course of the nation to become a civilized nation by Allah's and Muhammad standard.
Enough said.
