KRU Mosque.



It is getting more ridiculous by days.

The Imam become Bilal and the Bilal becomes an Imam. The confusion arises when the very smart Ketua kampong blatantly downgraded the incumbent Imam 1 to Imam 3 and picked personally from nowhere someone of his own choice to become Imam 2. The incumbent Imam 1 was very meticulous, punctual, reliable and regular at subuh, zohor and asar. With the downgrading, the major responsibilities now burden on Imam 1 and 2. Imam 3 stays at the sideline. The whole routine now goes haywire. Imam 1 is the Jemaah’s choice whereas Imam 2 was not. Imam 3 ex Imam 1 still remain the Jemaah’s favorite. Imam 1 and Imam 2, as I see it, do not seem to be on the same frequency. During subuh, when Imam 1 and 2, nowhere to be seen, Bilal 1 will take over as Imam. The Jemaah has no qualm as Bilal 1 once represented Klang District at Selangor Musabaqah. His pronunciation of the surah is perfect and soothing to the Jemaah’s ears. Perfect pronunciation, especially the compulsory surah Al fatihah is prime important; otherwise the whole solat considered null and void (batal). I don’t have to be an Islamic scholar or attending courses at Islamic International University to understand this very simple Law in Solat. More or less, I have mastered the surah Al fathihah (less to be boastful) as I have been following and heard the Imam in Mekah and Medina reciting the surah during the whole month of Ramadan for the past eight (8) consecutive years. I could easily pick up anything of the Al Fathihah that is slightly abnormal when any local Imam recites. Surely, Imam Mekah and Imam Medina cannot be wrong. 
      
Non credentials Penceramah Ugama still flock to KRU Mosque contravening the Royal Highness Decree. His Royal Highness had reminded again and again but they just don’t bother. The green light is being given by the Mosque Nazir who also happened to be handpicked by the PAS Ketua Kampong. Their main intention is making as much money as possible from the Mosque institution. Ceramah Ugama comes with money. No Penceramah Ugama will come for free. Four (4) Penceramah Ugama covering the same topic to the extent they are duplicating each other and confusing the jemaah. There is a new subject introduced, Motivasi – to motivate the Jemaah. Majority of the Jemaah that frequent the Mosque had reached their prime age, at the end of the road waiting to kick the bucket. The only pertinent motivational topic that interests them is how to prolong their live. Motivation itself is very subjective and most appropriate to those who are about to start living and venture into this challenging world. Simply it means, to be better in life. An Islamic Motivator cannot just start overnight and he must have a vast degree of experience and knowledge especially Islamic law (syariah) and expert on usuluddin. Motivator must be charismatic and also master in psychology to convince the audience. On top of that, any motivational subject, in the Mosque in particular, has to resort to the syariah and usuluddin. It definitely differs from motivating a corporate entity. In the corporate entity the subject goal is profit and well being of the particular corporation. Motivating in the Mosque, the core subject matter and end result is either “dosa” or “pahala” and all wrongdoing (dosa) must be check, reprimanded and corrected reference to the sunnah wal jemaah. If all wrongdoing regarded well and well (persangka baik) and let Allah decide, then the same wrongdoing possibly be repeated. This is one area where the Malays in Kampong Raja Uda are lacking and have to be corrected. Do not just rely on Allah’s penalty befallen. One recent case where the Mosque Minute of AGM was bullshitted. This one particular guy should be singly motivated that all truth must prevail when managing the House of Allah. Nahi mungkar amal makruf. He was also part of the team that bugger up the Kampong Badan khairat Kematian and allowed scot free on the basis of well and well (persangka baik) and let Allah takes its course. As I wrote earlier, it’s getting ridiculous by days because there is no action from KRU Mosque or the authorized body. Persangka baik again?

I choose to stay home and be an Imam myself. It is pointless when my heart and mind do not click. My concentration distort when I very well know that among the congregation there is/are specimens (Hypocrites) that participated during PAS solat hajat at Kota Baru Stadium. He/they had requested Allah to destroy their own kind and of similar faith. To me it was plain absurd. The following day, the Master labeled and declared that UMNO members as Infidel (murtad). He does not get into his thick skull that Hudud ala PAS that UMNO disagrees. It is the UMNO infidels that build Mosques, Surau, Schools, Tahfiz Al Quraan, Universities, roads, Islamic Banks, Syariah Courts, award scholarship, study loan, set up Security Forces etc etc for them and their families convenience. WHAT HAVE THEY BUILT?  Most importantly, UMNO being the majority power house in BN has maintained peace and harmony in this country. I may not be an UMNO members but I subscribe to UMNO ideology and aspirations for this country.

I may not be a perfect Muslim but I know the boundary between what ought to do and what not to do. I know the different between dosa and pahala. Do they? To seek for Allah blessing to destroy someone, friend or foe is something had been taught by my late Grandparents not to do when I first learn alif, ba, tha when the Bintang Tiga terrorized Malaya. 

At most Mosques in Selangor I have attended and notice that when the Imam recite the doa for the Royal Highness and the Crown Prince, these idiots that belong to the Moon will not raise their hands but when come to the doa for Selangor Negeri Kebajikan, their hands would be up reaching the Heaven. What’s the point of coming to the Mosque when there is no sincerity in the hearts and the respect for the State Islamic Head? Selangor Negeri Kebajikan, my foot!! Langat 2 was halted and manifestos are not promissory note. Massage parlors are mushrooming and china dolls are evading immigrations to sell their bodies in Selangor.

      
After my daily prayers I always seek Allah to guide these “Doomsday Satan” to change and return to the right path, the true teaching of Islam. On Friday, I resort to the Sultan’s Mosque at Kampong Jawa. I have peace of mind facing the Almighty there. At the very least, I do not know anyone presence in the Mosque that attended the solat hajat.

At all our wajib and sunat prayers, we Muslims recite “ih dinas siro thal mustakim, siro thal lazi na an am taalaihim, ghairail makdu bi alaihim, walladolim”. - Ameen  surah Al Fathihah which is compulsory and the meaning is, “guide us on the right path, the path of those whom Thou hast favored, not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray”.  Regrettably those concerns do not digest the meaning. Maybe they don’t even know the meaning, praying like a parrot and they call themselves fanatically associated with Islamic party. 

The long jubah, the messy goatee and the thick serban do not necessarily one is a good Muslim. It is all in the heart that counts. Aqidah, nawaitu, taqwa and Iman.

Medical Checkup.



06 December 2012 at Klang Pantai Medical Center.
Results:

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY.

Blood Pressure: 130/70              acceptable, normal is 130/80.
Weight: 60.4 kg - maintaining.

Glucose: 5.9                                 acceptable, normal is 3.9 – 7.8.
Glucose (conventional): 106         acceptable, normal Random is 72 – 141.

Creatinine (Urine): 14491                            (acceptable range is 2652 – 11050).
Microalbumin: 125.1                                   (acceptable range is <30.0).
Microalbumin/Creatinine Ration: 8.63          (acceptable range is <3.40).

IMMUNOLOGY & SEROLOGY
GLYCATED HAEMOGLOBIN.

HbA1C: 6.7
               50
(Both readings at satisfactory control).

Compared to the previous checkup of 13 September 2012, the creatinine value had increased which indicate that the kidney is not functioning that efficient. As commented by the Physician, there is no cause to alarm where the reading often fluctuates. The next checkup would be on 28 February 2013 and it would be more through. I have to fast on the 27 evening for blood extraction on 28 mornings.

Pre check up, I sensed something was wrong with the urine as it was too yellowish. I just recovered from a bad influenza about two (2) days ago and it might be the contributing factor. Whatever, I must take precautionary measure before the kidney really deteriorate.

The Physician however commented that it was about nine (9) years ago that I first referred to him during the mild stroke attack and up to date I have been maintaining within control level and strictly subscribe to his prescriptions. He agreed that will power within me and the power of the Almighty play a major part. His role as the Physician is only to guide. Alhamdullillah, I recovered, not 100% but about 80% - 90%. It wasn’t easy, prior to the mild stroke attack; I don’t even know and don’t bother to know about blood pressure.

Lesson learn.  Almighty Allah is merciful.

How the UN Members voted.



Despite Israel’s snubbing of the result as ‘meaningless,’ the U.N. approval of Palestine’s statehood Nov. 29 is both meaningful and of historical importance.

Palestine has at last achieved state status, which it could have achieved simultaneously in 1948 with Israel if Arab states would have given them sufficient support at that time. Palestine, thanks to its friends, now managed to break its U.N. jinx and receive the support of 138 member states with only 9 objections and 41 abstentions.

To see and understudy how each country voted at the Assembly, please Google:  Palestine 194 – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Go to each country by alphabetical order and analyze. PAS Members, please use your brain will you? Your best friend’s friend said NO. You don’t have to go far. Malaysia? Go and check yourself.

Try to think why the counties who voted NO said NO to the Palestinians aspirations. Majority of Palestinians are Muslims. Why? These are the same people who cry out loud about Human Rights but come to Muslims, they have double standards. Look at Asean, Asia, Down Under, Middle East, European, Americans and the World and see who voted YES and who said NO. 

BTW, was it the Muslim Terrorists that brought down the Twin Tower?

To the Palestinians – Congratulation. In the meantime, HAMAS please stop launching the stupid rocket into Israel occupied territory. I tend to believe it is the Jewish paid Hamas that launched the rocket. Life is difficult in Gaza and everyone can be corrupted to keep on living.
