assalamualaikum
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It does not surprise me anymore that Malaysians have started their raya preparations well before fasting month starts.
As you see, this is the same reason why Harian Metro remains one of the best selling newspapers now.
Malaysians do not enjoy being academic. They play down the beauty of Ramadhan, despite being yearly reminded of its values. To many, it's a month where we starve ourselves on solely food. Very mature I suppose.
The mosques are filled in in the first half of the holy month.
The religious authorities are ultra passive with Islam related issues in this country. Even more annoying, you are not allowed to criticise them. If they are sincere enough, many issues would have been wiped off ages ago.
They like to sit down on the luxurious seats and seem to think they have done a good job in giving lectures in between Isyak and Maghrib to a crowd of less than 20 usually.
Even in states like PAS-led Kedah and Kelantan, nobody even knows the names of their Mufti. Let alone what they have contributed to the development of Islam! Selangor pun sama kot...
We need a very charismatic leader to take us forward. We have had enough of these passive, ultra conservative authorities. Tomorrow we will still hear 'We must go back to the basics of Quran and Sunnah'.
Enough of rhetorics.
till next time,
assalamualaikum
