BE ANGRY BECAUSE OF LOVE,NOT BECAUSE OF HATE
I can still remember the unique attitude of the elders back in the 'kampung'(village) long ago. Back then,the wooden houses were on stilts,and the empty area underneath the house was almost always used to keep old stuffs that had never been used.
Usually bottles, tin cans, or rotten old planks.
I dont know why they were never thrown away. They just were put there.
Never used, but never thrown away either.
Interestingly, whenever these 'antiques' were noticed and others want to take them, the elders would quickly prohibit them.
"You cant use them","It's too precious for us to give", and many other reasons would come up.
That was the analogy that came up in my mind as I was asked about the anger of the Muslim Community towards the publishing of the caricatures insulting Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.(peace be upon him) by the journals in Europe, specifically in Denmark.
"Aren't you angry?" asked a student just after the discussion forum about the aforementioned subject.
"Yes I am" I answered slowly.
"That's not enough. Tomorrow let's march and burn the Denmark flag!"I smiled a little.
"We have a better way. There's a more powerful weapon. Doa(our prayer)" I answered.
"We must show our anger to those who insult our Rasul."
"Showing our love to Rasulullah is more important."
"Our anger is the symbol of our love"
"Quite true. But proving our love by following his Sunnah(teachings/example) is by far more important."
"Are you afraid?"I looked in to his eyes.
"Following his Sunnah needs more bravery. The obstacles are greater. In fact, the challenges even come from Muslim people themselves." I prodded him softly.
"Let's burn their flag!"
"Let's 'burn' their way of life. That's more relevent."This time it was his turn to be quiet.
Maybe this student whose 'on fire' has started to digest the meaning of my words.So i re-told my earlier analogy.Alhamdulillah (All praise to God), he listened tentatively.
"We and the Sunnah, are like the people of old and the stuff under the house, they were never used, let alone upheld/glorified, but when someone wants to take it away, then we start making a fuss of it,about wanting to use them."
"Then how should we show our anger?"
"Demonstrations are in front of people. In front of Allah, we pray. Let's muhasabah(relfect [on our own doings]), how much is our love towards His Prophet. Maybe the Western provocation had brought a hidden lesson."
"A hidden lesson?"
"Yes, a hidden lesson from Allah to us so that we could re-evaluate ourselves, have we really loved the sunnah of His Prophet all this time."
"The anger of the ummah is the proof," he said with enthusiasm.
"Anger is only seasonal. Only a sentimental burst with a scale. But diligence, intelligence, planning and endurance needs a long time."
"Your meaning?"It was obvious he was influenced by the twists and turns of words.
"In the long term, have we taught our young generation to love the Rasul(Prophet) and his family? I am worried that our young generation, drunk with hedonism now would not have the anger that you are having now."
"I have peers whose lives are a mess, but they are still angered when the Rasulullah was mocked. They will join the marching crowds tomorrow!"
"Lives in a mess? How is that so?" I asked. I wanted to be sure.
"They live like rockers. they never pray. An immoral,"free" life is normal for them but their love for the Prophet never faltered."
"Invite them to perform their prayers first. Even not marching is ok. Love first,anger later. When there is love, of course there will be anger when Love is disgraced. But if there is only anger, it doesnt always mean that love is there."He was silent again. This time the silence was even longer.
"Do you think that the elders would be angry if we take the valuable stuff in the house?" he asked suddenly.
"which elders?" I asked again. Surprised.
"The old people in your analogy before!"
"That question has less 'uumph'(*not quite interesting)," I joked.
"Then what question would have had more 'uumph'?"
"Would there have been anyone who dared to ask about the stuff in the house? Compared to the stuff under the house?" i replied.He contemplated again. It's fun 'helping' the student to 'think'. I was reminded of my own enthusiastic spirits during my years in campus. Mymind wandered on..

I'm back!
hey,even trees can smile
danke danke
hello there
it's been nearly a month since i last made any entry,but so long as i do,it doesnt matter how long it takes,rite?hehe
my days are quite full..i've been keeping myself busy with classes,lectures,friends, even sports, and some other hobbies like reading,for instance, and being generally the good kid doing what i was supposed to do.but every night i kept wanting to come here and do something about that last entry,or at least make a new one like this, and every time something would come up,or the computer/line would be busy.well,now i got my very own external modem,and i can use my own notebook to go online again.yeay!!
right now i'm trying to upload some pics,but it's taking some time,and i've already failed once..we'll see.The last holiday was great!i took many pics,maybe a little too many- a bit more than 500..hehe and i have trouble picking the ones i want to upload,and finding the time for uploading.i'll continue my entries with a few more about halal foods insyaAllah..i found a few more websites/companies with more halal certified products.
