This week, while Muslim Malays Malaysians were busy talking on social media about open breast-feeding, Be-Like-Rashid memes, and making noises and opinions about issues that they own selves unable to change,
I'm grieving by what happened some days ago. Someone lost his life while trying to earn money for his family.
I work in construction line.
Not just the bloody pressure and work shits, you know that somebody did lose his life on this line. It could be me, who knows?

And then Jakarta bombing happens on Thursday.
I was in a meeting when one of the Architects, suddenly informs all about the Jakarta attack during the meeting break.
----
I remember having Google Hangout chatting with one of the famous bloggers in Malaysia.
I asked him a question.
"Why there's more social ills in Malays society compared to Chinese, when, the Chinese Amois wore more sexy clothes, Chinese drink and gamble but Muslims Malays do not, why is that?"
He gave his reasons, which I wouldn't share here.
One question lingers within my head then.
"This week, a non-muslim in Malaysia died while working, while some Muslims in Indonesia died by killing policemen in public. How come?"

Cursed Earth, Cursed Earth, Cursed Earth, Cursed Earth
I will never feed off
The evergreen luster of your heart
All because we all live
In the valley of the walls
When we speak
We can peak from the windows
Of their mouths to see the land
The women chant as they fly up to the sun
You never think you know, why
Know, you never think you know, why
Know, ever think you know, why
Know, know, know
Books all say different things
While people flap their yellow wings
Trying to soar by being a whore of life
And almost everything
The sheep that ran off from the herd
May be dead but now's a bird
Able to fly able to die
Able to break your cursed earth
You never think you know, why
Know, you never think you know, why
Know, ever think you know why
Know
On the other side, the other side, other side
Do you ever try to fly, do you ever try to fly?
Have you ever wanted to die
You ever want to die?
Don't ever try to fly, don't ever try to fly
Don't ever try to fly
Unless you leave your body on the other side
Never try to die, you ever try to die.
Know, you never think you know, why
Know, you never think you know, why
Know, you never think you know, why
Know, ever think you know, why
Know
The evergreen luster of your heart
All because we all live
In the valley of the walls
When we speak
We can peak from the windows
Of their mouths to see the land
The women chant as they fly up to the sun
You never think you know, why
Know, you never think you know, why
Know, ever think you know, why
Know, know, know
Books all say different things
While people flap their yellow wings
Trying to soar by being a whore of life
And almost everything
The sheep that ran off from the herd
May be dead but now's a bird
Able to fly able to die
Able to break your cursed earth
You never think you know, why
Know, you never think you know, why
Know, ever think you know why
Know
On the other side, the other side, other side
Do you ever try to fly, do you ever try to fly?
Have you ever wanted to die
You ever want to die?
Don't ever try to fly, don't ever try to fly
Don't ever try to fly
Unless you leave your body on the other side
Never try to die, you ever try to die.

In the end, I do not care of the answers.
What I did was, after I finished my prayers, I went to Youtube and enjoying these rock videos.
I became numb of all things that happened.
Because, I think,
even if we live in a corrupt world, even if every girls walk naked on the street,
talking, discussing, debating it would not change it all.
even bombing yourself to death would not change this world to utopia.
Just focus about being the best person doing the best you could for your loved ones.
Don't become a philosopher to change the world.
Just change your self to be a better person.
If you want a better Islamic world, then become a better Muslim.
Because to your loved ones, you are the world to them.

I'm following this :-
Now, since I felt relieved writing on this blog on thoughts that disturbed my mind,
I'm learning Sejati by Wings :-

For Malaysians Malay Muslims:-
I'm too lazy to update my other blog http://fir-9898-islam.blogspot.my/, I just share this video here.
I think I learnt a great deal by this video.
And I trying to practice something that he taught, this early morning.
Wish me luck.
And the book Petunjuk Sepanjang Jalan by Syed Qutb that he mentions,
you can find it here:-
One thing,
something that I learnt during my University days, when I join UM guys Tabligh 1 days and 3 days outing,
You will feel religion to be sincere if you do it for yourself.
People joining Tabligh knew this.
The Tabligh preaching is not to change the world, but to change your own innerself.
You go preach from house to house, the reasoning is not to change others, but more towards changing yourself.
Giving effort and hardship, will somehow change you from within.
It's never about changing other people.
the idea is despite the intensive preaching, those Quraisy who are close to the Prophet didn't embrace the religion, but people like Salman came from outright Persia just to learn the religion.
And so.
This is my personal opinion and idea.
Just change your self to be better, and you will find the world to be different.
And to the question I ask to the famous blogger,
I found the answer straight within my heart.
We Malays focus too much changing others, but we didn't work much to change ourselves.
