Remember One Malaysia

Remember One Malaysia at its birth and infancy. Look at history the way it was made, and not planned. One Malaysia was born from mother nation Malaya, and ever since then, the country faced a multitude of tests - some fatal, some heartbreaking, some sad, but most of all Malaysia emerged at the time when there is a need for unity. Integration was a BIG question. UNITY was an aspiration. MUHIBBAH was a theme that lingered on the lips and minds of true Malaysians. Only those who worked side by side with satan were against the idea of MUHIBBAH. Only those who loved BLOODSHED were pissed off with MUHIBBAH. Bearing in mind that the motherland was created out of love for BROTHERHOOD, and we were all ONE although our forefathers came from as far as China, India, Indonesia, Turkey, the Arab lands, and even from Europe, we didn't bother about our background. The people of the past didn't bother a bit about their ethnic background, because Malaysia was for everyone who loved UNITY. Circumstances may have created our existence as inhabitants of this land - war, wealth, and even wonder, all were the reasons for our forefathers to migrate to this land. We can't claim that we were the earliest let alone the owner of this land, but we are indeed the heir to the Malaysian dream of UNITY and BROTHERHOOD. That is why we can still survive until today.

In Search Of The Special Moment

It's an annual affair, but time is really subjective. It is subjected to the permission and directive given by the Boss for Gabriel to descend on earth. It is the most virtuous of all nights. This is the night that made Prophets envied. It is the night that grants special rewards - and cleansing of sins. Your debts cleared and turned into credit - multiple fold.

It is against the time and space factor. But if one is engaged in supplication and prayers at the right moment when Gabriel descends, one receives abundance of rewards. Unseen though! Well time is unseen - you only feel it, from signs and hints depicted from the surroundings.

We don't see time, we only see the signs of time. We don't see God, we see the signs of His existence.

Su, we submit to Him. He is the Omnipotent. He is the Giver. He is the One. You don't believe in Him? It's your choice. A bad one.

Time to change

It's the time now, to travel through time. Let's get ready to the new mode of travel - though and against time. I want to bridge the difference between 900 light years ago and today. I want to travel yesterday and still living today and perhaps walking ahead of time and return to today.

It's gonna happen!

When Bard Ali Returns ...


He returned with passion for retrospection and repair. He wants to make sure that he doesn't return to repeat the 'stone' sessions he'd left two months ago. He wants to also make sure that everybody stays clean. And that's the outcome of sheer mujahadah nafs, to abstain from committing unlawful acts.

Somebody said that it was okay to stone in Islam, as marijuana is pure herbal. "I can take care of myself," says one long-bearded WW.

"There's nothing wrong in smoking ganja, it is legal," he added. "Than why is the police arresting people with that substance, and if it is legal in Islam, why are the Ulamas condemning it?" I asked.

So Bard Ali motivates everybody to stay active in 'Muqami' work. By doing so, everyone will be able to stay 'Istiqamah' and stay free of ganja.

"I don't want to return to the old habits and that is what I told WW to also throw the habit cos there must me a turning point for it," said Bard.

Bard explained to WW the ordeal he had to face during the two months he underwent the 'correcting' exercise and got a response from him:
"That was a short time period, I had to abstain myself for four long months from ganja, but I am still doing it."

Bard quickly interrupted, "That's the reason brother, I am worried of the wasted times we spent so much in correction, and I do not want the same thing to happen to me, isn't it time we quit?"

WW gave a ponderous look, but continue to lit his rokok daun ganja, unperturbed, unrepented.

May be he was thinking that Bard was a fool. I gave a deep thought about the incident and sensed that many a good people would consider what Bard is doing, is a noble move.

Only to seek pleasure from the Almighty.
