Assalammualaikum w.b.t
I am from Malaysia and I am currently studying in UK. Upon reading numerous true stories of how fellow Muslims in the Middle East and (dare I say this) around the world are suffering from numerous fascism attacks and biased judgements especially from people who does not understand Islam and the true belief to Allah's divine power and existance, it just dawn on me on how LITTLE the 'Islamic' Malaysian government had done to help...I am not trying to be political here, but this is true...The muslim Malaysians have this notion that Malaysians (muslims) practices Islam Hadhari. Regardless of what it means, it created a small confusion on the true meaning of Islam Hadhari (as if the word Islam is not pure and special enough), especially amongst the villagers who have very little exposure to the TRUE meaning and understanding of Islam and among the youngsters who are mostly, (and this is a very disturbing woe) westernised in many sense. We have almost everything that SEEM Islamic, but in essence, it is not. I am not happy to point out these truths about my fellow muslims in Malaysia but, this is true... For example, there is one show that focuses on Islamic 'fashion' where the fashion are really, NOT concealing at all...the holy Quran and even Prophet Muhammad (sallahu 'alaihi wassalam) had already pointed out numerous 'adab' or the CORRECT way of concealing the aurat. This might create confusion, especially among teenagers and working women who will think that Islamic 'fashion' is all about beauty but not for the sake of following Allah's divine word. Astaghfirullah hal azheem.
Apart from that, I would also like to point out that in Malaysia, some of the Muslims KNOWS Islam but they DONT UNDERSTAND the essence of Islam, what Islam really is... They are more worried about all the rules and regulations that were imposed on them as Muslims rather that understanding the fact that all of this are done for one sole purpose, to gain the divine LOVE from Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) - mardhatillah...
Please leave some opinions and comment on this matter because I think that if Muslims in Malaysia break out of the comfort zone and stop swimming around in furuq issues about Islam, we can work together and become a strong Ummah...because that is our goal - to achieve ONE devout Ummah under one Khalifah...
The question is, how?
What is good/positive came from Allah SWT and what is negative came from my own weakness as a servant to Allah SWT, but, the truth is, what is good or bad comes from Allah SWT as a test for everyone of us.
Wallahu'alam
Feel free to correct me if I made any wrong remarks.
