Bali bombers....A sad story
Why do I think that it is a sad story?
Well obviously not because they died. But the fact that people grieve over them and pity them for being punished for what they did. Well of course I do have some compassion for them as a fellow human being but I do not think that what they did is correct.
From what I know, Islam does not permit killing. Even in war, Islam have provide us with a proper guidance. For example, we should not attack anyone that do not wish to make war with us. To respect the elderly, women and children in war.
I'm even worried when I saw that due to this incident, they are more determine to continue what those fellow died fighting for.Please stop. Follow what Islamic teaching really teaches us.
Islam brings peace and not war.
Please realize that you will only tarnish the name of Islam by saying that you did this because of your religion. While you don't even know what your religion preached on those matters (not saying that I'm an expert but I do know that it is a wrong and unislamic thing to do).
So I hope and pray that they will come to their senses and do the correct thing.
And for the non-Muslim, please do not take their doing as a picture of what Islam is all about.
Islam is a beautiful religion. It is the people who claim to be the follower(not all, of course) that's making the religion ugly by not following what it teaches.

why no beer, wine or any alcoholic drinks
Well this is due to the effects from consuming the drinks that we are prohibited to drink it....
First, is that it will make us drunk. And drunk people do a lot of regrettable things like below:
- It can cause danger to others(drunk drivers),
- can make we do wrong and irrational thing (like ops we have a baby, huhu),
- can make you commit crime while being drunk
- make you vulnerable and expose to danger from other people
Third, it can lead to liver damage and other disease due to over consumption.
Fourth, it will make you aged faster.
And a lot other damages you can see going around us these days.
Well of course some will claim that it does have some benefit but since the benefit outweigh the harm, it is better be safe than sorry. Furthermore there are other things in this world that can give you benefits without harming you.
This is some sort of self control you should have in yourself to be healthier and better.
Allah s.w.t. knows a lot more than us did so when Allah s.w.t asked us to do something, it is obviously for our good. Since Allah s.w.t. knows more than we do and loves us all more than we can love ourselves.

Pig, pork, bacon....
Why do we muslim cannot eat anything originating from pig?
Well from my knowledge, the animal are considered a very unhygienic creature because it eats almost everything and because of that in its body contains massive amount of bacterias and other unclean and unhealthy microorganism(like worm) harmful to us.
Another reason is because the fact that all the harmful bacterias and microorganism will not be dead even if the meat is cooked. So if you thing that eating it cooked is safe rather than eating it raw, you are wrong.
When something gives you more harms than benefit(only keep your stomach full), it is best to not consume it.
So who says that Islamic teaching does not have any logical or scientific reasoning.

Care for Halal...
what is halal?????
Halal does not only concern food like pork free and alcohol free. It involves other areas and issues such as the process of making the food from where you get the material to where you serve it.
It is really important to make sure that we consume only halal food because what we eat will determine what we are. Eating halal food means that we eat clean, healthy and safe food for our body.
For instance, halal way emphasis heavily on slaughtering the animal the correct way to minimize the pain and suffering of the animal slaughtered. This is done out of respect for the living animal.
It also will make sure that all the blood from the animal will flow out when slaughtered to ensure the animal is clean and safe to consume. It is not allowable to consume animal that have not been slaughtered properly because the blood remaining in the animal is not clean to be consume.
So what is Halal(this is taken from an article):
All other things except:
- swine/pork and its by-products
- animals improperly slaughtered or dead before slaughtering
- animals not slaughtered in the name of Allah
- Alcohol and all forms of intoxicating and hazardous drinks
- Carnivorous animals, birds of prey and land animals without external ears
- pests
- Animals forbidden to be killed in Islam
- Animals considered repulsive
- Animals that live on both land and water
- Blood and its by-product
- food that contain any of the above product
- Any biotech animals/plants from pig or dog
- Plants and products that is poisonous, dangerous to health and faece

Men can marry more than one?????
The prophets all have the right to be followed by the true believers. After Allah and His prophets, the one having the very most rights, according to Islam is the mother, and then the father.
But children also have rights in Islam. When a man dies his wealth is left to his family. How could the court know who to give the wealth of a man, if he was one of several husbands to a woman?
How would a child know who his father was? No society ever supported the concept of a woman being married to two or more men at the same time.
Almost every society supported the concept of a man having more than one woman. Islam came to set things straight.
Women were given rights. Men were strictly ordered to treat their women with the very best of treatment.
First of all, the men had to divorce their wives, if they had more than four. So this was not an order to go out and get four wives.
It was an order to begin limitations. And the first limitation was; No more than four. Second, consider the limitation of equal treatment for all of them.
How could a man keep more than one wife unless he was exceedingly wealthy and/or exceedingly strong and virile?
Next, the limitation very clearly states; ".. but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them) then only one ..."
Step by step, the men of Islam have come to be known today as the most monogamous of all men on earth. (we only have one wife)
P.S.: When you really want to see the truth, pray to god then you will see it...

Men and women in Islam
Do you understand that one must take on the role of supporter, protector, provider, custodian and servant to the family (man's role)?
Woman Gives Birth - Raises Children
One must take on the role of carrying the child and delivering it and then feeding it and raising it to become a true servant of Allah (woman's role).
Not Equal - But Treated Fairly In Justice
Men and women are not the same nor are they "equal" as some folks would have us believe. Whatever is on one side of an 'equals' sign must be exactly the same as what is on the other side without any difference in value, only in the way that it is expressed. How then could we say that a man, who is unable to conceive or give birth and then breast feed a baby is the equal to a woman who can?
Women Keep Their Identity - And Their Names
Additionally, Islam protected women's rights to keep their identity and they were not considered property of some man. As such, they were no longer forced to change their last names to be that of their husbands. This is still the practice of Muslim women today just as it was fourteen hundred years ago.
Women Keep Their Property And Earnings - Men Must Share
Yet, at the same time the western society is so concerned about the way Islam demands that a couple be married, the man actually must work instead of the woman; the woman owns her own property without giving anything for the support of the house or the child; a child has the right to his or her own mother raising them instead of a baby sitter or day care; father must support his children; divorce is hated; and marriage is sanctified.

Islam and Science
Since people nowadays a bit reluctant to believe in religion because most of it just claim that their god create the universe but with no prove.
Now for all of u none believer, pick up a Quran and read it. Then you will know that it is a complete religion where every issue is covered, suitable for anytime, anywhere and regardless of who you are.
It is the only religion that is logical and in line with what science prove.

Include your religion in your decision making
It might suits you too....
You can decide by asking yourself which consequences you want:
1. Be happy in this world yet sad in the afterlife(you have to believe in it)
2. Be sad in this world and sad in the afterlife
3. Be happy in this world and happy in the afterlife.
P.S.: If sometimes you feel sad or having difficulties in life you should be strong and believe that Allah is communicating to you and testing you to reward you an even greater reward you can imagine. What you should do is just face it patiently.
P.P.S.: Happy spiritually will bring you a peace in mind.

Life in the world is not permanent......
while the rest which is a very long one in the afterlife.Afterlife????Yes they is life after this world. You got to believe it, otherwise it just won't make any sense to live at all.
Imagine that all the goods u did in this world will be left unrewarded and all the bads u and other people did left unpunished.....
Now where is the logic in that?????none....
So if everyone believe in the afterlife, i bet that each and everyone of us will be behaving in the very best manner we should so that it will benefit everyone and not leaving anyone to suffer as a consequences of our bad behaviour.
So in the end we should practice what our religion told us to do which is>>>>to do good, pray a lot and other religious activities as if you are going to die tomorrow while at the same time work hard and gather a lot of wealth as if you are going to live for another thousand years.
Have a balance life between now and the afterlife.

why do i wear head scarf while some muslim girls don't???
well most of them ask the question because they saw that other muslim ladies did not wear one....
so how was my reaction????
the first time i was asked i couldn't really know what to answer....
its not that i dont have any respond in my head but i just couldnt figure out which one....
you know i dont wanna give the wrong impression or anything....
well nothing to complicated about it actually....
I believe that every religion have at least one rule that they have to follow...right???
come on, even a school have its own regulation...so now not all of them follow it right???
and they all have their reasons not to follow it....
so even if they didn't wear the head scarf it doesn't make them a bad person or the other to be the better one.
its a must for us ladies that have reach a certain age or I might say puberty to cover certain parts of their body, including their hair...the head scarf is actually to cover our hair and our front part of body...the breast as well....
so it is not that i don't have hair or hiding things from people that i wear a head scarf but instead it is actually acting as a control medium for me....it remind me that I'm a muslim and to act accordingly.
the benefits is a lot more than that of course. women are a beautiful being i must say and hair make us even prettier. so i choose to flaunt my beauty to my only rightful other and not for other man to enjoy.....

Understanding the Quran...
Well I'm just starting and I found it to be very fascinating and interesting.
Since i don't understand Arabic (must learn Arabic-a note to myself), I have to read the translation to understand what it says.
Erm make sure you have the correct approved translation before choosing one for yourselves. And make sure that you have somebody knowledgeable to turn to in case you don't understand anything.
Anyway understanding the quran really help you understand your religion and clear things out. And really help if anyone ask about your religion.
P.S.: So would like to share what you read?
P.P.S: I will share the thing that I found in the quran in my next scribble.

When is it allowed
If the man lacks those material and moral conditions, or he is not competent enough to satisfy all of them, then he will not be eligible to take more than one wife.
Also, Islam has emphasized that the basic objective of healthy marital life comes from mutual love and benevolence between the husband and the wife which normally can be found in the form of regular marriage - monogamy.
Preservation of that cordiality, stability, and purity in the family life can be seen clearly in the Quranic doctrines as well as in the tradition of the prophet (p.b.u.h):

Why is Polygamy allowed?
so in search for answer i did my homework of researching and goggling.....
this is what i found out......
Rights and Limits
First of all, it is important for us to keep in mind that Islam came to establish two very important fundamentals for human beings:
Rights and Limits.
Everyone and everything has certain rights given to it by the Creator and Sustainer of the universe (Allah). At the same time, each creation has its own limitations established by Allah.
First Right - Allah has the right to be worshipped without making partners from what He has created. Direct worship to Him, alone.
Second Right - Prophet's right to be followed according to his teaching and commandments.
Third Right - Parents rights to be honored and cared for, with special emphasis on the mother first.
Fourth Right - Wives and Husbands have rights on each other.
Women's Right - Best Treatment
Almost every society supported the concept of a man having more than one woman. Yet, they did not limit the number nor did they provide the protection and maintenance that Islam insists on for each one. Islam came to set things straight. Women were given rights. Men were strictly ordered to treat their women with the very best of treatment.
Limit - Number in Marriage
When the verse was revealed the companions of Muhammad, peace be upon him, did not run out with the attitude that they were going to get four wives all of a sudden. Some of them already had much more than that and these men had to divorce their wives, if they had more than four. So this was not an order to go out and get four wives. It was an order to begin limitations. And the first limitation was; No more than four.
Limit - Equal Maintenance and Treatment
Second, the limitation of equal treatment for all of them. How could a man keep more than one wife unless he was exceedingly wealthy and/or exceedingly strong and virile?
Next, the limitation very clearly states; ".. but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them) then only one ..."
Women Need Husbands - Allah Provided the Answer
The prophet, peace be upon him, predicted that in the Last Days the women would outnumber the men to a great extent. Today we are seeing this become a reality all over the world. Allah has already provided for us for this occasion. After all, He is the One who makes it all happen and He already knew that many women would come into Islam in these days. He also knew many of the Muslim men would be killed or die at an early age, just as it is happening these days. These women all need husbands. Allah has given us the solution to all of life's problems.
In general, Polygamy is not allowed if it will become a destructive behavior and carelessness. And the husband who is misusing it, he is basically misusing the law. In such case, the impious human is the problem not the law itself.
You know if you have any question about your religion, don't be afraid to learn about it.
Ask around but make sure you go to the right resources in order to get the right answer.
P.S. : Did you guyz know that this research actually enhance my knowledge in my religion and strengthen my belief in it.
P.P.S.: If there is anything that i have mistakenly post please let me know.....I'm still learning and need to be corrected if wrong.

Bar council forum on Memeluk Islam......
Why do so many people apposed to the idea????
Do we really need to have that demonstration?
Does it reflects the true colour of ISLAM?
I've known Islam to be a very beautiful religion but what i saw was not pretty at all.
It was scary.
Please don't give Islam a bad name.
Love it and reflect it in our everyday life and in our attitude.
Be rational and civilized.
I've read many articles saying that the forum will touch on the sensitive issues and that it will question the constitution.
Some says that it should only be done between the bar council and the related party involved and not in a open forum.
Why do you make it seem like Islam is rigid?
It is not at all.
Why do we need this hush hush kind of a way when discussing about Islam.
Yes, in this country Islam has its own level and status that should not be questioned.
But I think that such forum would be an advantage to Islam rather than a disadvantage.
Islam is whole and complete.
There are solution for everything in Islam that are relevant no matter what century you live in.
Be it in the olden days or in the next future.
You just need to study Islam further to acquire the knowledge provided to you by ALLAH s.w.t.
We even have our own scholar to turn to for that matter of fact.
Just put one of our respected scholar in that forum and justice will be done.
One of my favourite Muslim scholar are the late Sheikh Ahmed Hussein Deedat and Zakir Abdul Karim Naik.
But of course, there are other muslim scholar that are as reputable as them.
Whether you want to agree with Islam or not, its up to you.
Islam have shown you the way and given you choice.
Now its up to you to make the correct choice in life.
P.S.: Whatever religion you choose......study, comprehend, rationalised and follow it. A true religion will bring goodness to you than it will harm you.
P.P.S: There is no force to convert to Islam. Pick up a Quran together with its translation, read it and you will see the beauty. Don't judge a book by it cover, literally.

Frico frico frico
But in this case and more to come in the future, I will just write what my heart screams....
Well my parents bought the convection stove and microwave from them that cost them RM 6000++++.....
Which is not cheap, for a not so famous brand....
Both of the appliances had some quite major product defects after used....
which should not normally occur to normal kitchen appliances...
the microwave door melted after normal usage by normal people.......which is weird....
so fine we call them to fix the problem and it take them ages or even centuries to return back the bloody thing,,,,
now the oven setting did not work properly but we just couldn't bother to send it fix....
the convection stove is not a superb thing also, its first problem is when it suddenly emitted smoke while using it....also send it to them and of course after a few centuries, we got it back....
now it did it again....and it send an electric shock that spoil the main plug...we are still considering whether or not to send it fix...
Well that exactly what you got when you buy a not so famous brand(not always though because
there are lots out there that works just fine, couldn't think of any now)
But the thing here is that when it works, both the appliances are ok not great just so-so.....maybe the major problem here is the after sales services provided is so damn lousy/bad/atrocious
Damn Car Headlight
this xenon and halogen headlights are one of those invention that should be properly monitored....
If not it will fall into hands of idiots that don't know how to use it properly....
Hey seriously, be considerate to other road users...like me....
how can i drive my car properly without hitting or bumping into other cars when the blinding lights hit my eyes and totally steal my ability to see....
Obviously those guys have no brain and heart to think of the consequences.....
Should really just drive around in a bulldozer and just bulldozed them off the road....
For everyone's sake....
