Me and My Religion (^__~)

          The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim". Islam is the true religion of "Allah". I am a Muslim girl from a Muslims family.  and I grew up with the understanding and accepting of all The Messages and Messengers of Allah. My understanding of Islam comes from reading Al-Qur'an and from my family who taught me about rules in Islam. As a Muslims, ones has to be obedient and pray to Allah and believe in the Day of Judgement. Islam does not bring any harm to anyone even to non-Muslims. The true religion of Allah must be universally understandable and attainable, not confined to any people, place or time.
          Islam always commands one to pray (five times a day), fasting (the month of Ramadan), to go to Hajj and pay the zakat (payments for the poor from your earnings) and  practical daily commands, the way or system of living your daily life, and since it gave you a choice, there is always at the end that it would be more beneficial for you or kinder, and so on if you follow that rule, it is up to you. Islam tells one that Allah is merciful and compassionate. Allah forgives everything except that one must never add Allah's name with another divinity. For instance, the interpretation of Jihad. For me ,Jihad has to be taken in its context with its two parts, the first part is the one that has the right to defend his own home and family, like one sees the sign that says ‘no trespassing’ on one’s land, and if someone trespasses on your land, you can exercise any kind of defense. And the second dimension of Jihad is that if a Muslim country has been attacked, then it is only the ruler that has the right to call for Jihad, i.e. the call for defending the country. If any other person does it on their own, it is not called Jihad
              I am proud to be Muslims as Allah protecting us from the evilness of the world and all of people in this world are treated equally in Islam. I'm proud to be Muslims!
 




What's wrong with our education system? O.o

        In Malaysia, hundreds of universities and colleges were built up for students to further  up their studies since the educations are the most important issues arise especially when it comes to applying for jobs. However, we often heard the news on the "Unemployment of universities or colleges students". The problems occurs since our education systems right now are performing "Dualisme Education Systems" by means of two different paths of education system that is a traditional education system, based on Islamic educations and the other path is a modern education systems, comes from Western educations. For example, nowadays we learn science directly without connecting the processes involved with Islam. People tend to seek knowledge not because sincerely want to improve our race but just to gain the popularity.
       Problems of studying for examinations and producing students focuses on memorizing and regurgitating the answers in the nature of the questions itself. Plus,students tend to go to tuition classes and neglecting the matters of societies and home. Examinations are impractical as it doesn't test out our student's IQ and ability . Even so, if the questions are oriented towards challenging, student's thinking skills will be certainly analytical. 
          Therefore, I am in complete agreement that our country should reform our education systems to prevent the problems above from "producing robots".  (*_____*)

My Critism Towards Myself!

        Human beings are not perfect as they think they are. We have different characters, behavior, and attitude that makes everyone of us have our own specialty and ability but nor of us even a politicians or a scientist are perfect. 
         You should say I am a sensitive person, and truth be told I don't think there's anything wrong with this for the most part. I am sensitive to everything, noise, violence, lack of empathy, lack of love of people around us, in our society...I used to have a hard time with my being sensitive. As time passed by, I found out it was my blessing, to feel more, to be so alive, to allow myself to welcome each emotions as deep as they are and to find creative ways to make something good out of this. Sensitive persons are more deep, interesting, creative and most of the time kinder, I know how it feels, living on a deeper level of this life and sensitive does not mean I'm weak at all! (^o^)
        Despite of being a sensitive person, I'm a type of "I can handle this on my own!". Independent one.. Thinking that I can do everything on my own and don't want to cause troubles to others and being their burden although they don't say such words. I'm hardly shares my thoughts, feelings and my personal life with anyone. However, I do realized sometimes the toughest people need to lean on ones' shoulders..right? (^____^)('''')

If I can change something about this world, what is that?

         In our century, we are now in the modern materialism. It is all about money. That’s what we shouldn’t grasp. We live not to gain the materialistic world of money which is a processes of dehumanization and forget the essence of our existence. Don't be an economic slaves. Wake up every morning…work to get money to survive and spend it on corporations and companies so that they can use up our Mother Earth’s resources again…can’t you see that the world is ending? It’s time for REVOLUTION!! It’s time for making changes!
         Less pollution, less disease, no starvation, population control not through war but through planned parenthood, educate the poor countries, no more war!!! 
Simple things and we have the power to make this a reality, above all else do not lose hope and make it happen. I will do my part, I hope you will do yours! We can still save this planet and our race!
Peace, Love, and ACTION!
Life is you , so live yourself by inspiring others .That’s my vision!
Here’s some quotes for us! ^^(may not be worded exactly):
“Change yourself to change your family
  Change your family to change your town
  Change your town to change your state
  Change your state to change your country
  Change your country to change the world”
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world”
One person can make a difference in the world but not be sneaky and brainwashing, you know? (^-^)

If I can choose to be someone else, who will it be? ^^

        "Hold my hand my friend, there are many ways to do it right...Turn around and see what we've left behind.."Hold My Hand" ,a song sing by a famous singer from Lebanon and being loved by everyone, Maher Zain! I love the lyrics written in his songs which saying that we are not alone as we have friends at our side. All of Maher Zain's songs are very special. Why??? They comprises of motivations, advices, and guidance for us, especially Muslims on how to built a grateful life blessed by Allah. He is delivering his message through a unique ways that is through music because he knows that everyone love music. Most of his songs have piano versions which captures my attentions to hear all of his songs tributes and suits with my soul as well. My favorable song out of all his album is "The Chosen One", praising our prophet, Muhammad. The best of mankind ever in this world! Hence, "ME is him in the future!"
