The `Movement` Mentality

And the culture of denial and pretense of various issues attached to it ignores somewhat very important questions in favour of 'empty slogans' and isolationism.

I hope that certain influential people can debate these topics honestly so that realistic solutions can be developed.
Inshallah we could break this culture, establish the problems and begin to solve them!

The title speaks for itself

cinta Vs CINTA

cinta Kecil itu, adalah kekeliruan perasaan yang terbit dari keinginan untuk diberi perhatian, mahu dikasihi dan mengasihi, emosi yang kosong dari asas,matlamat, dan kesedaran terhadap implikasi cinta jenis ini.

Tidak keterlaluan jika saya katakan, cinta seorang anak kecil kepada kura-kura peliharaannya lebih mulia daripada cinta keliru ini,
kerana sekurangnya si anak kecil itu akan memberi makan, berbual dan membersihkan akuarium kura-kuranya, sedangkan cinta keliru antara dua anak muda ini tanpa mereka sedar hanyalah sekadar untuk melayan gangguan emosi yang sunyi barangkali .....juga tanpa sedar kedua-duanya sedang merancang untuk saling merosakkan antara satu sama lain.

CINTA sebenar itu harus terbit dari emosi dan naluri fitrah manusia.. Namun ia lahir juga dengan sandaran rasional dan sedar diri terhadap asas cinta itu, tanggung jawab yang mengiringi cinta tersebut serta kesan yang bakal lahir dari mematerialisasikan perasaan cinta seperti ini. Cinta yang ada ' Sense of begin with the end in mind!'

Kena Saman!

The time has come again for me where i receive a lot of nikah summons. Good things always come in small sizes, or sometimes medium. Summons can be electronically sent to u via hp, email or some summons can be in the form of snail mail. U r required to be part of a jury to witness two hearts tied together by the able hands of the judge/father of the bride and have a small or grand feast depending on where the hearing is. Some hearings can be done under the void deck , community centres etc etc. Ah well, best jugak kasi saman saman ni.

Lesser Of Two Evils

Uncle Sam may have picked the lesser of two evils to lead the country but evil is still evil. Still can`t believe that he chose Rahm Emanuel as his Chief Of Staff which makes him the third Jew to take up that post. Nonetheless, its quite strange yet interesting to see a black dude dressed as a white dude playing the role usually white dudes will get.

Burnout

Time and Again, I`ve been reading a series of articles posted a year ago by an american convert brother umar lee that has been talked very much in the western muslim blogosphere with regards to the much evident ghulaat that has transpired with certain salafee organisations in the US that has brought about the social breakdown in their communities,excocommunication and boycotting between individuals which eventually brought up the decline in the Dawah in the country.

Umar has managed to open up a can of worms with his series and looking at the comments , more cans would be opened up. Nonetheless, he wrote out of his own personal experiences and its highly debatable that these things actually happen. What happens one might ask? Well its about salafees having a burnout due to the sad events umar had stated and whts worse, some of them leaving the religion all together or becoming sufis!

I can`t see this happening in Singapore at the moment as the dawah is relatively new whilst most of us are not converts and do not understand wht it feels like to lose an entire support system just because you are 'off' the list.

Umar`s Series(He deleted some from his blog, but i found a brother(apparently a burnout) who posted all of it in his wordpress)

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
Part Six
Part Seven
Part Eight
Part Nine
Part Ten(The one that has about 400 plus comments and counting)

Umar`s Clarification Of Some of the Comments in Part Ten and Some More Topics

If u guys want to comment,commentlah. Personally, for me, the question still remains in my heart, can history be repeated itself ? Could utopia be successfully implemented in a world that is so complex? I`m still sad at the state of affairs nowadays.
