Praises be only for the God the Highest, the Lord of the entire universe. I am growing proficient with this site applications so my task would be a lot more easier. I managed to learn some video editing and visual making. So, I could see that being a computer geek sure would be a reward if we could use it to the fullest, lol. I never forget my promises to my beloved One. I would strive hard only for His pleasure and performing our ancestral tasks to bring mercy, peace and eventually love for those who come across us beginning with my own family : ) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am going to link several sites in one so I would integrate my life experience in a better way with other journals. I thought of dumping my feelings be they toxic or good ones here in the beginning while I never thought that it is also followed by other fellow brothers and sisters. I appreciate your prayers and love so much and wishing everyone happiness and success in this life and in the hereafter does not matter of what faith or creed you are. In the end, it is His mercy which will save everyone He wishes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would import some personal stuffs into my personal sites but do not worry... I would not close this site since it perhaps would be your inspiration or lesson for everyone though it might not be as good as others life. I live just like other people. There are happiness or sadness in life and I believe that we could not deny any one of them. I believe in simplicity and my path is the middle path. I believe that human-being must behave and think like human. Not thinking like holy angels or the Devil. Everyone has his own role within this universe as He decreed in His own way. You might get to know my real identity as I have nothing to hide if you check closely on few sites linking here, hehe. I am not writing here to get any publicity or for profit-making, lol. It is just my monologue with my sweetheart, <span class="Unicode">All</span>ah the Most Merciful. It is the life of ordinary Muslim guy who lives like other human-being. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I <span class="Unicode"></span>am trying to activate the site in <span class="Unicode">Ar</span>abic for <span class="Unicode">Ar</span>abic studies. Everything is in <span class="Unicode">Ar</span>abic so some more technology could be benefited to its highest usage, haha. You might need to use your google translator application. Or you would be lucky to find some Jawi Malay scattering around there if you understand Malay. There would be some more links but I have to think on several other stuffs like coordination and making things simple. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wish everyone luck,</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cannot remember the exact date that I did this Personality Quiz. I get the link of the website from my environmental policy lecturer, Dr. Salfarina. I guess it was around <span class="Unicode">April-</span>May 2013 at the time before my father was stricken with stroke. I keep the result in my notebook just to get to know on what kind of person I am. I use to keep many notebooks for various topics and events in life. They served as records for me and to gain confidence to go on with life. The things that I tagged at the site of this site are mostly from my notebooks. I learned from my experience and even from reactions of the people surrounding me. If I do not simply be friendly to others then, it is because I found that I am not comfortable with that particular person. Either I keep my distance or just keeping my silence. Sometimes I might appear as an anti-social. I <span style="color: red;"><b>do not have beautiful children life</b></span> like others. I seldom make friend with people, my family moved a lot. I have only sisters and I am not close to my own relatives. It influences my personality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's see what we have in the result....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Spirit</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>You are a seeker. <span class="Unicode">A good listener with </span><span class="Unicode">a gold he</span><span class="Unicode">art. You </span>are someone your friends know they can rely on for their support and advice in good or bad times. </b></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is especially true. It makes me feel like a black sheep to be sacrificed by human-being as their <span style="color: red;"><b>sin offerings</b></span>. Sin offering is especially exist in <b><span style="color: red;"><span class="Unicode">Abr</span>ahamic</span></b> traditions founded in Old Testament and we Muslims perform this during the <b><span style="color: red;">Dhulhijja</span></b> month during the pilgrimage season. I personally hated this but still people come to me for counsel or just to feel comfortable with themselves or simply to test their skills such as their preaching skills in case of those involved with the mission movements. My father, my mother, my sisters, my late maternal grandmother, the Tabligh members, acquaintance whom I do not personally know or those whom I never met before, migrant workers and so on would approach me with thousands of trouble and mess in their mind to be released on me. Later, some of them when they get what they wanted i.e the peace of mind, satisfaction or confidence and they just walked like nothing happened. I have no chance to exchange about my feelings or troubles in my mind with them... So, to some of them that I have got the chance to speak out. I asked them, I am not a <span style="color: red;"><b>deva</b></span> (deity)... Why do you treat me so?! <span style="color: red;"><b>This is <u>how I refuse to make friend no more</u></b></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Kind, generous, spontaneously helping others. </b></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I never realize this. I always think that I am a cold and mean person, haha... I love to give offerings to my family members or those that I know. I love to treat people. But I regret that my sisters regard me as a stingy person just because I am not so much close to them. They spent less time with me but with their friends more. So how could I express my love as a little brother to them? Love could also means prayer. Personally I do not care what people out there wanted to think about me. They are strangers. When family members do not understand us, it means that there is something wrong in our communication.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">You are a sensitive soul and expressive in nature. </span></b></blockquote>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I studied about <u><span style="color: red;"><b>self</b></span></u> through Hindu and Buddhism philosophical disciplines. It has something to do with <span style="color: red;"><b>psychological</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>mental phenomenon</b></span>. I do not simply go to certain thing because of its popularity or because it sounds modern which is ridiculous for those <b><span style="color: red;">immature<span class="Unicode"> A</span>sian kids</span></b> regardless whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims who relate this matter to modern Western world, hahaha. Even some adults tend to assume the same which is pathetic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I could go to Christian missionaries when I protested to my family or those around me but <b><span style="color: red;">I do not like to be baptized</span></b> and I refused Christian missions who came to me several times when I was a young teenage. I put a post here about two Christian missionaries from Korea who tried to baptize me with my non-existent roommate by insisting me to visit their church during their Sunday mass and that happened in 2012. I politely rejected them. I guess this is consistent with the first notion that I am seeker. I do care about mentality rank although I believe in <b><span style="color: red;">Justice</span></b>. Sometimes I would be in silence just because I do not want to mess with the crowd. Not because I am an ignorant. I maybe looked like a migrant worker in my appearance, wearing simple t-shirt, track-suit and speaking in ordinary language without any posh words to show about my movement. I do not like to overdo things but I love simplicity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Sometimes you love nothing more than escaping into your own dreamworld.</b></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have lost the talent to day-dream, lol.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Spontaneous new experience can be really inspiring for you and you like to explore your creative side time by time. Excited with new ide</b></span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>as</b></span>.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
True, indeed. This is consistent to my <span class="Unicode">Ayurvedic type of body</span><span class="Unicode">. I h</span>ave got ideas and love to learn about new things. I guess this happens to those with <span style="color: red;"><b>vata</b></span> predominant element within their body.</div>

Sure, I only go to mosque when I am sad. In my teenage age, I went alone to monastery without informing my parents and involved in rituals simply to forget my troubles. I took buses and walked bare-feet just to see the <span style="color: red;"><b>guide teacher</b></span>. In this sense, it actually referring to historical <span style="color: red;"><b>Siddartha Gautama</b></span>. He was not in those monasteries but I went there just to pay respect to him with regard to his teachings. Just after I decided my faith that I am a Muslim. I go to mosques and cry to the God there since I have no one to talk with. Right now, I went to mosques if I have the opportunities. Because my father is bed-ridden and I cannot leave him alone. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ayurveda classifies two distinct but inter-related type of person. It concerns with both body and mind. Our nature is determined by this combination of <span style="color: red;"><b>body</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>mind</b></span> types. This "<b><span style="color: red;">nature</span></b>" is known in Sanskrit as <span style="color: red;"><b>Prakriti</b></span>. When we refer to the <span style="color: red;"><b>theory of creation</b></span>, we identify it as the <b><span style="color: red;">unmanifested nature of matter</span></b> in the <span style="color: red;"><b>cosmic</b></span>. When referring to human-being, it refers to <span style="color: red;"><b>unique physical</b></span> and <b><span style="color: red;">psychological nature</span></b> displayed in them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The knowledge about our <span style="color: red;"><b>dosha</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>guna</b></span> provides us with an understanding of our basic physical and psychological nature. It helps us to decide on our personal diet, lifestyle that maintain optimum health and peace of mind. Each person has a unique <span style="color: red;"><b>dosha</b></span> with unique nutritional needs. By establishing our <b><span style="color: red;">dosha</span></b>, we would enable ourselves to get suitable diets, exercise and lifestyles to maintain the balance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Definition </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Dosha</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The translation is quite complicated. It is often translated as "<b><span style="color: red;">biological type</span></b>" or <b><span style="color: red;">physical constitution</span></b>. This definition brings a simple and easy understanding of the concept. While, the original definition is more complex. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sanskrit defines, <span style="color: red;"><b>dosha</b></span> as <span style="color: red;"><b>dusyati iti doshah</b></span>. It literally means, "<b><span style="color: red;">that which contaminates is called dosha</span></b>". The Malay language absorbed this word into the vocabulary, <b><span style="color: red;">dosa</span></b> and the meaning turns out to be "<b><span style="color: red;">sin</span></b>" in <span style="color: red;"><b>Brahman-Buddhism</b></span> context where the sin taints one's <span style="color: red;"><b>karma</b></span> (action). The Muslim missionaries in South East <span class="Unicode">Asi</span><span class="Unicode">a </span>later then, employed the word into their speeches and so; the word <span style="color: red;"><b>dosa</b></span> remains there but to explain Islamic concepts. The same thing in Thai language, where it is used together with native word as a fixed phrase, <span style="color: red;"><b>khor thod</b></span> (<span style="color: red;"><b>thod</b></span> is spelled as <span style="color: red;"><b>thosh</b></span>) which means, "<span style="color: red;"><b>pardon</b></span>".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, <span style="color: red;"><b>doshas</b></span> may be considered the pathogenic factors, or disease-causing agents in the body. Imbalance of the <span style="color: red;"><b>vata</b></span>, <span style="color: red;"><b>pitta</b></span> and <b><span style="color: red;">kapha</span></b> doshas cause disease in the body. Dosha only refers to the three biological energies of vata, pitta and kapha. Imbalance of these elemental combinations is the direct cause of physical disease. The become the <span style="color: red;"><b>prime cause factors</b></span> or <span style="color: red;"><b>contaminants</b></span> to the body. <b><span style="color: red;">Secondary factors</span></b> in the disease process, like <span style="color: red;"><b>dhatus</b></span> (body tissues), <span style="color: red;"><b>ama</b></span> (toxins) and <b><span style="color: red;">malas</span></b> (waste materials) are just the product of, or, dependent upon, an imbalance in doshas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Prakriti</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Knowing our <span style="color: red;"><b>prakriti</b></span> helps you to tailor a personal diet and
lifestyle that can prevent disease and physical disorders, and obtain
peace of mind. It provides us with an <b><span style="color: red;">understanding</span></b> of <b><span style="color: red;">our</span></b> <b><span style="color: red;">basic
physical</span></b> and <span style="color: red;"><b>psychological nature</b></span>, and how <span style="color: red;"><b>to keep it in balance with our surroundings</b></span>. This is the key to maintaining health.</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<br />
Every human usually has <span style="color: red;"><b>varying degrees</b></span> of vata,<i> </i>pitta and kapha.
The doshas are usually <span style="color: red;"><b>not present in equal proportions</b></span>. In most people
there is a natural uneven distribution. Very rarely, a person may have a
completely even distribution of doshas.<br />
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Although we each have characteristics of vata, pitta or kapha to different degrees, one of these elemental natures will dominate and that is the “main” dosha. The secondary dosha is the one present in the next highest proportion. Every dosha<i>
</i> type or combination is acknowledged in Ayurveda, which lists seven
separate physical constitution types based on the basic three...</div>

I am not so much a traditionalist. I employ both modern and complimentary health sciences. Other than Indian health sciences... I also read about other methods such as from the Greeks, the Babylonian's, the Islamic ones based from our prophetic tradition, European and even natives' herbals and remedies. Nothing rigid except that I believe... Health is an important treasure which one could ever has in his life.</div>

Because my body predominantly consists of the wind element, so I display physical and emotional characteristics linked to the elemental qualities of the <span style="color: red;"><b>space</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>air</b></span>.

I am not sure about the topic to be displayed. To know our strength, we need to also know about our body and mind. In this way, we could reflect on the God the Highest through our environment. They are from various notes that I get from websites, my interviews with some acquaintance where I wanted them to speak the truth to me about myself and my reflections... </div>

I divided this to three sides such as the note with my self as an example, the job and health. The job section might perhaps would be helpful for brothers and sisters who are looking for the job. You may use the ideas, opinions wherever appropriate or suggestions pointed for your self development. I know how do you feel... I feel the same as you feel and at least wish to help you by <span style="color: red;"><b>pointing you to suggestions</b></span>... This is better than to brag because we feel that we had achieved great things in our life but help nothing because in the end, "we care only about ourselves" because some people just <span style="color: red;"><b>never</b></span> <b><span style="color: red;">feel the sweetness of failure in their life</span></b>... Right? I use "my" self not simply in the sense of my "own" self. It could be "your" self too. I am a human-being just like everyone but I believe in the diversity of creatures in a nature. I believe in personal experience. One person has different experience to one another. Our souls are connected by a single "Great" Creator.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, living in an environment occupied with various kind of people and ethnicity, it sometimes makes my head a little dizzy to communicate with them especially when we have to switch codes while talking. It happens to me since I was young. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I speak Northern Malay at home and we have sprinkling of Hindustani, Persian and Arabic in our speech that do not really exist in Southern Malay especially during my schooling times. I am not sure the words such as <span style="color: red;"><b>kutub khanah</b></span> (library), <b><span style="color: red;">gerek</span></b> (bicycle), <b><span style="color: red;">prashat</span></b> (villains), <b><span style="color: red;">bahadur</span></b> (courageous act), <span style="color: red;"><b>rumbas</b></span> (fight), and so on ever exist in Southern Malay. We used those words before we leave them out as the time is moving on up to now... In term of pronunciation, I was frustrated with Quranic and non-Arab teachers who taught Islamic related sciences where they pronounced things differently to our pronunciation... The <span style="color: red;"><b>Qaf</b></span> (<b><span style="color: red;">ق</span></b>) becomes <b><span style="color: red;">Kop</span></b>... The <b><span style="color: red;">Ghayn</span></b> (<span style="color: red;"><b>غ</b></span>) becomes <b><span style="color: red;">Gain</span></b>... The <span style="color: red;"><b>Khaf </b></span>(<b><span style="color: red;">خ</span></b>) becomes <b><span style="color: red;">Haf</span></b>... <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">Ḍ</span>h</b></span><span class="Unicode"><span style="color: red;"><b>ad</b></span> (<b><span style="color: red;">ض</span></b>) becomes <b><span style="color: red;">Dott</span></b>.. </span>The special glottal <span style="color: red;"><b>'Ayn</b></span> (<span style="color: red;"><b>ع</b></span>) turned out to be <span style="color: red;"><b>Ain</b></span>... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I pronounced them without any pain because I am a <b><span style="color: red;">Peranakan Arab</span></b> <b><span style="color: red;">of the Past</span></b> yet I had to pretend or forced to pronounce things like non-Arabs because <span style="color: red;"><b>we are not recognized with our own ethnicity</b></span> instead we were <span style="color: red;"><b>lumped into Malayan nationality</b></span> during British administration era... I was so much confused back then and yes... I was so depressed... 20 years ago people perhaps were not familiar with dialectical differences as compared to now with the development of modern information technologies and the internet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That was just my experience. I am relieved that I could share how I
feel... I am dumping some Arabic for Communication. I would only use
Roman script as Arabic script would take time unless if I write
everything with my hand, hehe... These are in Syrian Arabic... Not Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My father was admitted twice to the hospital since the last two weeks. I cannot sleep day and night because I took care of him in the hospital. These recent, he was infected with pneumonia because of the feeding system turns out to be inappropriate to his condition... I contemplated that if I feel so much tortured, then I wonder <span style="color: red;"><b>how much tortured my father <u>feels</u></b></span>? He has a crippled, paralyzed body and he cannot speak because his articulation tool has been taken by the <span style="color: red;"><b>Lord of Powers</b></span>. I am sure that it must be unbearable for him but this is already fated within the Guarded Tablet in the highest region. How could we relate our past and integrate it with the current situation in the process of "self" identification? Whether we cling to the phenomena and identify it as our "<span style="color: red;"><b>ego</b></span>" or we just remain unattached but going through it with perseverance and right consciousness? These are my personal insight based from the <span style="color: red;"><b>Sutra of Right Conducts: Discourse between Brahmin Kotta<span class="Unicode">ṣ</span>tha and Brahmin </b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">Ś</span>ariputra</b></span>. It is not Islamic nor <span class="Unicode">Ar</span>abic in its cultural essence because these figures were the foremost disciples of Siddartha Gautama. The philosopher of <b><span style="color: red;"><span class="Unicode">Ś</span>akya</span></b> tribe from Lumbini.... They discussed psychology and <b><span style="color: red;">sub-conscious mind</span></b>... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That is the reason on why I could still go on with the situation and do not try to run away. In Buddhist phenomenology as per my previous lessons learned, the term <span style="color: red;"><b>sa</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><b>ṃ</b>s<span class="st">ā</span>ra</b></span> refers to the cycle of birth and death. When the time passes then a creature would move on to other phases of the life in the universe. This is the meaning of the word. The life and death is flowing within the temporal universe. We gain our life experience and getting the enlightenment in term of our mental faculties while wandering throughout these cycles of life and death. I am not sure whether this is also being discussed by the ancient Greek philosophers but I guess the same thing was also echoed by <b><span style="color: red;"><span class="Unicode">A</span>fla</span><span style="color: red;"><span class="Unicode">ṭ</span></span><span style="color: red;"><span class="Unicode">ū</span>n</span></b> (Plato). We are going throughout these phases with few types of devotion such as services, knowledge, wisdom, consciousness and trying to get a focused mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had got a phone call on Tuesday while my father is in the hospital. It was a call from the Ministry of Foreign <span class="Unicode">A</span>ffairs for a job interview. I did not have much time for preparation because the interview was scheduled yesterday. <span class="Unicode">Anyhow, I </span>am not confident that I could secure the job on my part but I have no regret. I had at least tried my best by sending the applications and attending the interview despite of my condition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am so sad. Two of my <span style="color: red;"><b>Rohingya</b></span> brothers had moved to other areas. The other Bangladeshi brother, Muhammad Habib is the only one left working part-time in the nearby restaurant owned by my father's office mate from BH. I could not make friends with my neighbors. They are "<b><span style="color: red;">rich</span></b>" people. I only can sit with migrant workers even in the mosque or the <span style="color: red;"><b>musalla</b></span>... I am afraid to taint them with my ugly presence...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think since now I am typing here, I had applied few jobs only for this year. The last year applications are all not counted but I am just telling you out there especially those <b><span style="color: red;">takabbur</span></b> guys who already got their position secured in companies or agencies around but bitching around like there is no God watching or listening to you that you boast on everything is due to your own hard work! I am not giving up simply to see you laughing at unfortunate ones!!! You are worse than those who killed little kids and elderly people in the battlefield! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the word takabbur last time to describe <span style="color: red;"><b>'Amr Diab</b></span> (Egyptian pop singer) when I talked about Arabic entertainment with <span style="color: red;"><b>'Emad</b></span> who was my classmate. He told me the word is so appropriate, haha... Anyway, sorry friend. I do not really care about geopolitical issue in the Middle East. Our ancestral land (Yemen) too faced many problems yet nobody gives us a shit. People are killed and treated like animals around the world. It is not only the issue of Muslims but a global issue which also related to other inhabitants of the world known as,<span style="color: red;"><b> the human race</b></span>! The angels had already talked before the God about us as recorded in the Glorious Quran (<span style="color: red;"><b>Surah al-Baqarah 2:30</b></span>) but many of us still forgot this. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly, in the beginning of this year... I applied for a government servant position. I was not so much knowledgeable about how to apply into government agencies but one of my Yemenite acquaintance known as <span style="color: red;"><b>'Abdullah</b></span> told me to apply for government position and not to waste our position as the sons of the soil although we are not Malays but because we are here since 300 years ago. Well, many of my cousins from my father side work as police, soldiers, guard or watchmen. They are the sons of my <span style="color: red;"><b>Hassan</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>Hussain</b></span> uncles. Some of them do business especially the ladies and they do not really care about "jurisprudence" regarding <span style="color: red;"><b>halal</b></span> business. Their mother is different to my father's mother. My father's mother is a Malay woman. Their mother is North-Indian Arab just like my grandfather. Many of those acquaintance from <span style="color: red;"><b>Mokalla</b></span> in Yemen also asked me to join our government service. Well, I am interested to serve our government but it is not easy to apply even when we hold the passport and citizenship. I applied a post in the Foreign Affairs Ministry. I am not sure whether I would pass because they have tests before I could go for the interview.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this month, I applied some jobs in the United Nations Development Programs. I saw that there are lots of vacancies in the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Kuala Lumpur but I have to stay away from the agency because I only served for less than a week. I had to quit because of responsibility to my family. I afraid that they would blacklisted my name since my name was also sent to Bangkok at the headquarters for Asia Pacific region. However, I cannot find any suitable job as according to my qualifications that made me have to fight tooth and nail to survive. I sent two applications for Policy and National Institutional Expert which is based in Quezon city, the Philippines. The other one in this agency is the Communication and Advocacy Officer based in New York. I do not know on how I would be engaged with the interviews or even reaching those places. Well, for the Philippines perhaps I can manage to reach there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second one was the European Communications Associate. It is in the Open Society Foundation. The place is far too which is in the United Kingdom. I do not know how I would reach there say if it is for the interview. Maybe they have Skype interview or maybe phone interview? Do they accept non-national who live abroad applications? I do not know and I do not know. I am just dependent to Him as the Provider of the Sustenance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I lament my stubbornness last time when I wanted to stay true to myself that I cannot be a robot to fulfill the labor needs in the country by refusing to go for pharmacist training, refusing to study culinary art which was proposed by my mother or going for technical training. Because I am not a machine kind of person. I am more to humanity. Those people like the late <span style="color: red;"><b>Salam el-Masdusi</b></span> which I posted in few posts below are humanity kind of person. I am identified as that kind of person. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do not think that I am going to succeed with my applications because of several factors such as the lack of experience, the due date which is so much close since there are so many online job openings and we might lose the pace when we feel tired looking at the monitor but at least I tried. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those who are studying, make sure you really sure on what you are doing. Do not simply do things because you see that others are doing so. Follow your own necessities. Sometimes we already planned things but obstacles come such as unfortunate incidents. It happens because this world is a test for faithful servants of the God. Some people live so smoothly that they know no hardships at all. Some who realize that the world is temporal such as lord Siddartha Gautama went out and being a "<span style="color: red;"><b>silly fool</b></span>" leaving behind his luxurious palace to live like beggars bearing humiliation. I am not trying to compare myself to this great teacher or other great teachers but their life portray what most of us are experiencing around down here.... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think I get some idea on doing some part-time jobs. Maybe working in the cinema which is a good start for a jobless loser like me. I could get some money as tool for me to move say if I get another secured job. I get to know few Bangladeshi or perhaps Myanmar migrant workers from the musalla where we prayed together. They are so kind to me that they offered to help me to find part-time jobs as cleaner and road sweeper. I would never forget their kindness. They are at least better than my own selfish relatives or country men. They deserve to be treated like angels. I believe that they are the unknown living saints for me... May He bless them always and may they live a blessed life forever and ever :'( </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBy-3sLU8Lo7J-_METLoJGIu2KSmm9d7yj2MQUVGI8nJZqlP6wUzH3km2dbW_CsANMINjgllzSJY0abYYrlxJbV4ZoH0-8B7YUf7ZTvSImIlFPXft_Fxk7ldYpLInhVQJlYXXmXNcgdw/s1600/tongtong.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBy-3sLU8Lo7J-_METLoJGIu2KSmm9d7yj2MQUVGI8nJZqlP6wUzH3km2dbW_CsANMINjgllzSJY0abYYrlxJbV4ZoH0-8B7YUf7ZTvSImIlFPXft_Fxk7ldYpLInhVQJlYXXmXNcgdw/s1600/tongtong.png" height="177" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have still got no idea about what kind of "part-time" job that I should do. Now, I think I should also think about myself next-time instead of others especially when I am not yet established. I bet that everybody hates to go again and again for interviews and having to change the resume all the time looking for new job. The employers do not like to see over-qualified employees because they are afraid of the commitment of the job-seeker. And the job-seeker needs quick money to move on. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I get to know that there is an advertisement for part-time jobs everywhere but I am thinking on how should I apply the job? Should I give out my resume? It is<span style="color: red;"><b> frustrating</b></span> to change over and over and I did the resume for serious job and I end up having to give up the job to be a companion for my depressed mother. I quit to give way for her to join her old citizen activities either at the mosque or in the neighborhood society while I have a paralyzed "stroke" father to be taken care. My sisters refuse to give up their life and I have to be the "Jesus" for them... "Crucified" in trade for their life. This is real life facts. I tried to do researches before getting any job to avoid losses in term of time and doing things in vanity. I have no one to refer to so I have to do the research and trial an error.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My mother had introduced me to a Quranic society which is an NGO but I cannot go on
with the society because I do not take tithe as my sustenance and I need financial support to keep the maintenance of our house, to pay for the national loan because my parents did not help me to pay for my undergraduate fees like my younger sister's, to move on to the next level of my life while I am reaching 30 years old and for my parents. I had explained
many times to my mother that our paternal clan could not receive anything
related to tithe as not to commit the sins of the "priests" but my mother do not understand it. She introduced me to the job because she think that I would be close to her while my sisters are off with their life. I
have to live in disguise as a public as according to our vows and not
to appear in public as "religious" figure in order to be <span style="color: red;"><b>equal</b></span> with the
laymen. It is not easy to live in a women-dominated space and most of the times people do not understand the "<span style="color: red;"><b>functions</b></span>" of different genders! Male and female function differently... Many of our people fail to frame the explanations of the technical terms such as the "<span style="color: red;"><b>fitrah</b></span>" and the "<span style="color: red;"><b>sunnatullah</b></span>" that makes the world go haywire. These involves mystical explanations as well as the technical ones. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Questions for Part-Time Job</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Examples roughly look like these....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Q: What days/hours are you available to work?</b></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>I am available during school hours while my children are at school, maybe at 9:00-15:00, Monday through Friday and I can work some weekends.</li>
<li>If you are a student, you will need to share the class schedule, any labs, to avoid confusion for supervisor, "I have classes Tuesday and Thursday until 16:00 and a lab that meets every other Wednesday from 17:00-19:00, but I am flexible about working any other hours you have available". </li>
<li>I am flexible and available just about any time you need me to work.</li>
<li>I have another commitment each Monday, but I am available the rest of the week.</li>
<li>I am available after school and evenings and weekends. </li>
</ul>
<b>Q: Do you have any activities that would prevent you from working your schedule?</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Employers want to know, especially with part time employees who have
other commitments, whether you will be able to work your scheduled
hours. The interview question "<span style="color: red;"><b>Do you have any activities that would
prevent you from working your schedule?</b></span>" A way to verify that you have
the time to commit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's important to be be honest about what your availability is. If
you have activities what come up suddenly - a commitment as a substitute
teacher or bus driver for example, you should be honest about that.
Otherwise, this is an opportunity to show that you plan things well in
advance.</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>I participate every year in a 10K run to raise money for my favorite
charity, but I will know the date well in advance, and would let you know
I need that day off.</li>
<li>I am on the crew team at school, but our practices are typically
early in the morning or later in the day, so they should not impact my
schedule.</li>
<li>I spend a week during the winter vacationing with my family in
Florida every year, but I can schedule that based on the busy times at
work.</li>
<li>I volunteer at the hospital every Saturday morning from 9:00 - noon, other than that my schedule is flexible.</li>
</ul>
<b>Q: Would you prefer full-time employment to part-time if a job were available?</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Would you prefer full-time employment to part-time if a job were available? Can be a tricky interview question. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the one hand, if you are hoping that the job will turn into a
full-time position, you want your prospective employer to consider you
first should the opportunity arise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, you do not want to raise the doubt that should a
full-time position present itself, you would walk out of your part-time
commitment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be cautious when you respond and keep your answer general, so you are not committing to one type of employment or the other.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Right now, my education/family/children prevent me from considering
full-time employment, but I would not rule it out at some point in the
future.</li>
<li>What is important to me is that I enjoy the work and the people I am
working with. I have many interests, and having a part-time job allows
me the time to pursue them.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Urm, I am not so much close to them. I used to live in Jitra in Kedah state once my father was offered a job as a press secretary of the Kedah Chief Minister, Mr. Osman 'Aroff. My mother loves to visit her niece who also lives in the town at that time. She was married at that time with this guy from Perak. Her father is my mother's elder brother. My mother only has one brother and his name is Aron (Arabic; <span style="color: red;"><b>Harūn</b></span>). Uncle Aron lives in Tabligh center in Beseri, Perlis together with his wife and his son, Joseph (Arabic; <b><span style="color: red;">Yusūf</span></b>). This cousin sister's mother has the origin from Thailand. That suggests the fact that they look, Chinese.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My maternal cousin is the one with the <span style="color: red;"><b>purdah</b></span> (veil). The guy is her husband and from the right are their children. I do not know their name. I do not introduce myself to younger people except if I feel that if they are "special" kind of people. I introduced myself to brother Idris Xian and brother Yunus Huang because I <span style="color: red;"><b>feel</b></span> that they are special kind of people, haha.<br />
<br />
These cousins are all <span style="color: red;"><b>Tabligh-i-Jama'at</b></span> members which begins with my maternal uncle, Aron. Uncle Aron tried to "convert" me several times into the movement but my father refused to give me to him. As to say, I have history with Tabligh members so I am not so much having no knowledge about the movement. I just do not tell people when people do not ask but sometimes people treat us like we know nothing. I do not have to join any movements. My paternal family already is in the lineage of mission circles. They became "out-castes" because they failed to maintain unity with the larger clan. And they are <b><span style="color: red;">Arabs</span></b> with Indian mothers, the same as those in pre-independent India and Pakistan. The difference with the Penang Indian Muslims is that we are of North Indian maternal stocks and they are the Southerners. North India is identical to <b><span style="color: red;"><b>Ā</b>ry</span></b><b><span style="color: red;"><b>ā</b> Vartta</span></b>, the abode of the <span style="color: red;"><b>ancient Indo-Persians</b></span>. <br />
<br />
Lately, I heard the fuss that they had conducted a trip from the UK to Malaysia here. To tell the truth, I do not really care on whatever that they do. They had been living in the UK since 15 years or maybe longer than that. Before, her husband studied in Japan. They look so... Mongoloid like the Jacky Chan's face <b><span style="color: red;">Hazara</span></b> refugees who speak Persian in <span style="color: red;"><b>Quetta</b></span> except that they are <span style="color: red;"><b>Sunni Muslims</b></span>, hahaha... I am closer to my paternal side more than to my maternal side. I mean in term of customs and heritage. In amity term, I am so much individual. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They came twice to visit my mother and of course my bed-ridden father. Relates their past in this country. I do not really pay the attention because I have my own problem to deal with so yeah I do not care whether they traveled in Southern Russia, Central Asian countries, China or Indochina, haha... Anyway, good luck for them. That is all that I could say. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not sure whether these would change. Maybe the minority elements would change as according to situation. I have equal substance of fire and wind in mind but the dominant one is the water and earth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Balance</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second part of the question that I answered in <span style="color: red;"><b>Deepak Chopra Quiz</b></span> is actually a snapshot of my current mind and body state. The mind body principle that scores the highest number of points in each section, is the one requiring most attention at this time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Inner Pharmacy</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first step to regain balance is to recognize that <span style="color: red;"><b>the environment around me has a profound influence on how I feel</b></span>. I tried to tell people around me these since long but most of all they do not understand what am I talking about<span style="color: red;"></span>. I do not know their non-technical terms because they were in <b><span style="color: red;">Pali-Sanskrit</span></b>. <b><span style="color: red;">Siddha</span></b> and Buddhism always talk about these and I learned the sciences of meditation from Buddhist teachers. Paying conscious attention to what I hear, touch, see, taste, and smell can help create peace, balance, and vitality in mind and body. A harmonized daily routine that engages with the five senses (<span style="color: red;"><b>pancha-indra</b></span>) with nourishing impressions is one of the most important steps towards achieving Perfect Health.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Accumulated Wind</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When wind is out of balance, change and movement agitate the physiology resulting in a sense of instability. Balancing wind requires introducing more grounding and stabilizing influences. Think routine and consistency. Few tips to encourage balance and well-being: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Body</b></div>
<ul>
<li>Perform gentle yoga and connect with our own body.</li>
<li>Perform daily <span style="color: red;"><b>abhyanga </b></span>(anointing) with relaxing herbal oil.</li>
<li>Take deep breaths throughout the day.</li>
<li>Eat three meals per day and favor sweet, sour and salty tastes.</li>
<li>Drink relaxing tea.</li>
<li>Enjoy hot bath with relaxing oils.</li>
<li>Stay warm. </li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Accumulated Water and Earth</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of balance related to water and earth leads to heaviness, sluggishness and congestion. Stimulation and movement help overcome the resistance of accumulated water and earth. Think activation and invigoration. Tops to maximize balance and well-being: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Mind</b></div>
<ul>
<li>Meditate at least twice a day to clear the mind and rejuvenate the body.</li>
<li>Wear invigorating fragrances.</li>
<li>Listen to up-beat sounds to invoke natural energy.</li>
<li>Organize the clutter in your environment as outer world reflects inner world.</li>
<li>Awaken at sunrise and create an invigorating morning routine.</li>
<li>Diffuse invigorating fragrances into your environment.</li>
<li>Favor bright, strong, bold colors with vivid shapes and designs.</li>
<li>Look for opportunities to be more spontaneous. </li>
<li>Embrace uncertainty.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Daily <span style="color: red;"><b>abhyanga</b></span> would be the anointment of the olive oil. I perform it as according to our prophetic tradition because I am a Muslim. My grandmother used to anoint my head with sesame oil back then. We call sesame oil as lenga and it is packed in the bottle available in Indian department stores because they perform the anointing too as according to their religion and customs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Invigorating smell could be the sandalwood, myrrh, frankincense. They were also mentioned in the Old Testament. I burn these in my room and my colleagues or roommates thought that I worship the satan which is nonsense! So, how else I could be more spontaneous in front of the public?? The key for a healthy life either psychologically (spiritually) or physically is to know what is our body consists of and how it functions. I tried to tell my parents and my siblings. They did not listen to me. These are actually ancient sciences which had also been acknowledged by the inhabitants in Mesopotamia and Sumeria lands in nowadays Iraq also in the Near East. They are not so much sophisticated in their soundings like today's sciences which are the products of early European <span style="color: red;"><b>Enlightenment</b></span>. I think I need to tag these for my own reference. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am extremely happy that I waited so early in the mosque. I managed to recite <b><span style="color: red;">surah al-Haqqah</span></b> several times and pondering about the facts of the universe. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing
so interesting in Friday sermon today. The preacher only talked about
the socio-economical issues such as the role of Federal Territories
Islamic Council in managing endowments, tithe and their achievements in
accumulating piles of treasures. However, I would like brothers and
sisters to know. I do not believe in their management system. I feel
that it is safer for me to manage my property with my own capacity. I
wanted to see my donations, tithe and endowment reaching the right
places! I had seen how the people in the religious authority behave.
This is not an over-generalization because I had came across with them
for so many times. I was educated within the religious circle itself. I
strongly believe in the practices prescribed in the articles of the path
and the articles of faith highlighted in the <span style="color: red;"><b>Hadith al-Qudsi</b></span>
through the question-answers between Muhammad s.a.w and archangel
Gabriel a.s. But I cannot accept the people in the authority! I turned
to Buddhism-Brahmanism customs last time not because I have problem with
Islamic teachings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
fact, I always love the God the Highest, Islamic teachings, prophet
Muhammad s.a.w, his trustworthy companions, all the noble prophets sent
by the God to nations throughout the history as they are the brothers of
our noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w and the <b><span style="color: red;">Ahl Bayt</span></b>
as they form parts of my "self" identity. I have problem with people
who call themselves as "Muslims" even until today! I believe in the
Justice of the God the Highest<b> </b>and so many people disrespect His Justice to His creatures and the universe<span style="color: red;"></span>!</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mind and Body Type </b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I
had made some checking on my body and mind type as according to ancient
Indian system of sciences. Even I chose Islam as my permanent faith in
contrast to those who chose Islam as the faith because their parents are
Muslims but I have a strong respect to ancient Indian knowledge and
philosophy. It represents the traditions of my paternal grandmothers'
heritage since they were from Indian sub-continent. I am grateful to the
God the Highest since He directs me to the Path of Islam but I am proud
to share some crossed heritage with ancient Indians. I even studied
Sanskrit and Pali along with Arabic as our ancestral language though I
speak mostly in English, Malay and Chinese. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some
questions that I answered could give me some ideas about my self. I am
aware that I have to know about my self before I could eliminate other
obstacles in my path. I made notes too about myself. Even I tried to get
feedback from friends around about my personality because I was afraid
that I hurt their feeling when I deal with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Frame</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am thin, lanky and slender with prominent joints and thin muscles. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">Weight</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall"><span style="color: red;"><b>I have low weight</b></span>.
Yeah, this is especially true since I could fly when heavy wind flows
me. I guess I am now perhaps 47 kg (103.6 pounds). I always fast since I
was five years old and I avoid meat including fish and beef. I took
only chicken in small pinches. I prefer to take fresh green vegetables.
Nowadays I have to turn everything as pickles as to save the money for
other services. <span style="color: red;"><b>I may forget to eat or have a tendency to lose weight</b></span>.
Next week I would have to fast again because I am afraid that the Quran
would leave me behind if I exceed the limit and the food nowadays are
not so clean as compared to last time. We can find halal foods but not
all of those halal foods are "clean". By taking greens in limitation, I
could reduce the risk of the meat which came from animals that had been
brutalized before being slaughtered or caught with diseases because of
antibiotics injection to the chickens. Fishes in the sea are facing
extinctions too because of human greed. If others do not care about
other creatures, then I do not want to be among them!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">I
have small eyes and active. I wear spectacles and I guess the power of
my spectacles' focus is increasing to 1000 +. I love to read and still
love to read. </span></span></div>

<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">My
skin is rough, dry and thin. I have olive yellowish skin. I am not
white as compared to Northern Arabs or those with the ancestors from
Northern Egypt, Syria, Northern Iraq or Lebanon. My old neighbors were
North Arab descents, their skin is mostly pale and fair like Middle
Eastern Jewish. I think we are yellowish because we have some genetic
crossing with <span style="color: red;"><b>Mongoloids</b></span>.
Sometimes people would mistaken me to a Nepali or a Central Asian. Most
of Chinese nationals in my university thought that I was from Western
China provinces namely Xinjiang (Turkistan) or from the border of
China-Pakistan-India. I tried to explain to them and even to Malay
compatriots that I am an Arab descent with North-Western Indian
grandmothers but we are not recognized with our identity instead being
lumped into "Malay" nationality and we are not united because we were
too tiny. The same thing which happened to ancient Jewish people in
China who were lumped into "Muslim" identity.</span></span></div>

<b><span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">Body Temperature</span></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">Under Stress</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">I
become withdrawn and reclusive. I guess in most of the time. An example
for this is when I served only for a week in the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) like six months ago before I have to
quit. The problems and troubles came at once jumping on my head. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">Firstly,
my sisters think that I am a male and I should be responsible for my
father who is bedridden or moving with my own feet because they think
that only they faced difficulties in their life while I live like a
"king" since I am a male. This is fine, but I cannot do that alone. I am
the only son in my house with five female siblings. I have no close
companions and I hardly make friends with people because I am a loyal
type of person. The burden dealing with them is like I am a stranger man
who live among the women. I cannot talk or discuss anything with them.
They would not listen to me but they only think about their feelings and
care only about their life. One of my younger sister accused me that I
am a spoiled brat where my mother never ask me to do anything while in
fact is that she did not live with me all the time although we are a
family. We have different events in our life and we do not know about
each others life for real. We seldom communicate because of gender
differences and it also lead to the differences of opinions, beliefs and
worldviews. They are very judgmental. <span style="color: red;"><b>I could see that in our society
here, people tend to believe that all brothers (sons) in a sibling would be a commander
and bullying their family based from the news headlines like "a son stabbed a father or kicking a mother for not listening to his material demands" while in fact now I am the one who is bullied
and still is bullied because I consider their feelings, giving a high value for their life and respecting all genders</b></span> <span style="color: red;"><b>or souls</b></span>. I am a minority at home. After my father is
bedridden, I am even more vulnerable! Not everyone is the same! <span style="color: red;"><b>Stop over-generalization!</b></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">My sisters do not even know that I went for Buddhist temple and seeking refuge from Buddhist community (<span style="color: red;"><b>Samgha</b></span>)
because of their attitude and I ended up a layman Buddhist boy for five
years before being forced by my mother to go for pilgrimage in Holy
Mecca and I have to decide my faith myself without any support from
Muslim community! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">Secondly,
I had no transportation, no support from my own father and my parents
are from unsettled families themselves. They would deny it but I am
aware about that since I observe the psychological phenomenon. I do not
just lay idle but I keep thinking and study. I was not settled yet with
my job settlement in the UNHCR and my mother asked me to take emergency
leaves just because she wanted to see me walking on the stage taking an
empty file for my postgraduate ceremony in Penang. I had to deal with
hundreds of refugees file and asylum seekers and in the same time; I had
to attend trainings and examinations related to war-field. They gave
the time-frame that I should finish everything only in a week! All of
these happened in the same time. So, I quit as not to affect other team
members in my office and I am holding to working ethics.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">Right
now, I have to apply again for a secured job and again I have to plan
and plan before executing the plans. It is not easy to secure a job
nowadays and family members could really be mean to us. Although many
people would believe that a family could be supportive to each others,
but they could also be mean! The plan would be in other sections. I am
sharing this with brothers and sisters out there who also face family
conflicts and who are unfortunate. I have no one to speak or to share
about anything so I also believe that you are in the same situation with
me. Better stay away from your family members if you have problems but try to find other sources to protect yourself from destruction.
Just talk with the God the Highest. Nobody gives a shit to our problem
if they are occupied with they are full with their <span style="color: red;"><b>ego</b></span>! We have to deal everything with our own capacity and seeking help from Him!</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="arialwheat"><span class="arialwheatsmall">In the part of loves to talk, I did love to talk but I learned that I have to keep everything filtered when I am talking with different levels of people. So, I appear to be a quit person in the public. I asked some Tabligh brothers to come and tell me about their movements in personal because people are of different level of understanding, reception and so on. Because of these, we have hierarchy and social ranks in a society. Society is a very complex creature! It is not like we are studying the machine. The machine would follow what human programs it but human-being and society is a part of the larger universe! I respect all movements but I have my own reasons to avoid religious movements. If I see that it is destructive for unity then I prefer to be known only as a layman Muslim without any title rather than known to public with movements' tag. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Salam al-Masdusi pays attention toward the betterment of the society. He associated himself with the activities of <span style="color: red;"><b>Anjuman Islah-e-Muashira</b></span> which was established by the elders of <b><span style="color: red;">Old Palmoor</span></b> locality in the year 1925. The society conducted survey of the entire locality and collected data regarding socio-economical position of the people. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He established free reading room and library for students and other educated people in his locality. He taught uneducated people in his Adult Education Center and collected valuable Islamic literature including books and magazines. For the convenience of researchers, he established the Sunni Academy at his home in 1945. Scholars and intellectuals discuss socio-religious and political matters at his house almost everyday. The gatherings were attended by elders and youngsters of the localities of various caste and religious creed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. al-Masdusi was a simple person by nature. He does not have any pride nor seeking for fame. He just sit on the mat with other people. His residence was known as "<span style="color: red;"><b>khanegah</b></span>". He sat with other Muslims in Mahboobnagar Mosque between Maghrib and 'Isha prayers to discuss various matters in the circle of discussion. He believes that everything about their locality should be discussed in the circle and the decisions from the circle should be informed to public Muslims so they could take heed and getting the information too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He becomes an active member of the <span style="color: red;"><b>Jami'at Ulama-e-Hind</b></span> and attended all annual and important sessions held at various places in India together with his friends. He set up its branch in Mahboobnagar and actively participated in the movement. He was influenced by "Khaksar Tahreek" established by <span style="color: red;"><b>Inayatullah Khan Mashraqi </b></span>and was nominated as a Deputy Leader of <span style="color: red;"><b>Idara Alia</b></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The establishment of <span style="color: red;"><b>Jama'at-e-Islami Hind</b></span> was initiated by <b><span style="color: red;">Abu al-A'ala Maududi</span></b> and its main objectives were to establish the kingdom of the God in the Earth. For this particular purpose, Abu al-A'ala Maududi picked up <span style="color: red;"><b>Pathankot</b></span> in Punjab as the center. He wanted to set up an Islamic state by the name, "Dar al-Islam" just like the Vatican City which is monitored by the Pope for the Catholics. Mr. al-Masdusi was one of the 11 members who wanted to migrate to Pathankot for this purpose. This incident happened in 1937. However, due to uncertain political situations in India and the conflicts of opinion between al-Masdudi and Maududi, he gave up the idea to migrate there and Maududi had also stopped his proposal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Al-Masdudi devoted his life to spread Islamic literature and trying to create brotherhood spirit among the people of India. He actively joined freedom movement to expel British from Indian administration who had ruled the continent since 200 years ago. He believed that British created hatred among Muslims and Hindus through the <span style="color: red;"><b>Policy of Divide and Rule</b></span> which resulted the partition of Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan in 1947. Thousands of Muslims regardless background who believes in two nations theory including his brother, Ahmed Abdullah al-Masdusi migrated to Pakistan. Salam al-Masdusi however, refused to migrate to Pakistan but remain in India and serving India as a loyal citizen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before leaving India, British government gave the option to the rulers of Indian princely states either to merge in the Indian Union, joining Pakistan or to be independent. The ruler of Hyderabad state decided to be independent. Indian Union definitely was against this idea and Hyderabad was forcibly merged with India through military engagement in 1948. Muslim-Hindu riots began throughout Hyderabad. Thousands of Muslim were slaughtered. Salam al-Masdusi together with Hindu friends such as O. Hanmanth Rao, K. Siddilingappa, K. Achuta Reddy Satoor Rangaya and other Muslim friends, M. A. Qayyume, Hasan Mohammed Pahalwan, Mohammed Ahmed, M. A. Ghani and Babu Abd al-Rahman toured around the entire district in order to advise both Muslims and Hindus to stay in peace and treating each others as brothers and sisters. Because of their sincere efforts, Mahboobnagar district was peaceful without any riot. During the freedom struggle, al-Masdusi was much influenced by the sacrificed made by Abul Kalan Azad and he followed him in his efforts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Social Work</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was active in the organization to uplift the society to the better known as <b><span style="color: red;">Anjuman Islah-e-Mu'ashira</span></b>. He drafted the constitution for the <span style="color: red;"><b>Anjuman Khuddam-e-Millat</b></span> and wanted to execute the program on the land endowed by his elder brother in Mahboobnagar. Unfortunately he had no chance to execute them due to that the land was temporarily handed over to the <b><span style="color: red;">Anjuman-e-Islamia</span></b> during political unrest in Hyderabad state just before the military action.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He had discussions with prominent ulamas of India regarding Islamic matters. He concluded that Indian Muslim faced the lack of <span style="color: red;"><b>Qazat</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>Wilayat</b></span> and religious problems and matters related to Personal Law of the Muslims can be solved amicably at each <span style="color: red;"><b>Nahia</b></span> (Mandal level) by a body of at least 11 members and he succeeded in doing so in his home town by setting up such body, <span style="color: red;"><b>Majlis-e-Qidayat</b></span> presided by the Imam and the preacher of the District Mosque. The decisions taken in this body were published and expanded to the public Muslims for guidance. It continues for years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He loves to help people regardless ages, background and personality. He did not do anything for name or for fame. Otherwise, he would already be a member of Parliament, Legislative Assembly man or even a minister. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Scholarship</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He tried to follow the teachings of the Quran with the help of the prophetic traditions and the prophetic history. He also tried to spread these teachings to fellow Muslims through simple charts, pictures and posters. He could just write books, but he avoided to do so for few reasons...</div>
<ul>
<li>Common people in India are not well educated and most of them are illiterate.</li>
<li>Even those who are literate do not read books due to their engagement with busy life.</li>
<li>He believes that the teachings could easily be remembered through posters just like the expression says, "A picture speaks a thousand words". </li>
<li>Publishing books need hard labor and financial means while posters and pamphlets can easily be printed, distributed and pasted around.</li>
</ul>
Sunni Academy centered at his house became a center of learning for youngsters and elders in the town. The could read magazines, books and newspapers there. He used to explain tough subjects in simple manner to public. On his death, Dr. Hasanuddin Ahmed, I. A. S. who was a famous intellectual, scholar and author in Hyderabad paid him a tribute through his article under the heading, "<span style="color: red;"><b>Unknown Muslim Scholar</b></span>", published in the leading local newspaper. The scholar actually respect al-Masdusi so much and calling him as a Muslim scholar of his time. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Freedom Struggle</b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Al-Masdusi though an Arab by birth and only a migrant to Hyderabad state but actually a nationalist. He get the ideas from Mohaddis Dehelwi and his followers such as Mahmud Hasan, Hussain Ahmad Madani and Abul Kalam Azad. Mahmud Hassan and Madani were sentenced to jail by British ruler due to their active involvement in nationalism activities. They were sent to jail in Andaman and Nicobar Island at a place known as Kala Pani. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He loves to read the books, articles and weekly newspapers such as <b><span style="color: red;">al-Hilal</span></b> and<b><span style="color: red;"> al-Balagh</span></b> published by Abul Kalam Azad. He thinks that this man is an ideal personality during their freedom struggle. Salam al-Masdusi was also imprisoned for a short while. The Indian Government sanctioned all freedom fighters for government pensioned after the independence. His close friend and the native of Hyderabad state, P. Hanumanth Rao was the deputy minister of Hyderabad State at that time. He later became the member of parliament. He had to force Salam al-Masdusi to accept the government pension after he refused it for many times. He is so stubborn that he said, "<span style="color: red;"><b>I have done my duty for my country, I do not want any reward nor pension!</b></span>".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Philanthropist</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He believes that his "Service for humanity is the service for the God". All of the resources around him was directed to help the society. Al-Masdusi <span style="color: red;"><b>avoids being close to wealthy people</b></span> and he only helped the poor and those who need help with his money or time. He provided things to guests who came to his house. His house was known as <span style="color: red;"><b>Zinda Pir ki Dargah</b></span> which means the Mausoleum of the Living Saint. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He and his colleagues managed to establish a commercial complex on the endowed lands in Mahboobnagar. The foundational stone was laid by Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the then President of India in September 1967. On the occasion, a large gathering was arranged in which the governor of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister, Ibrahim Ali Ansari, Minister and the president of the complex committee were there. Salam al-Masdusi was also invited to sit along with them. However, <span style="color: red;"><b>he chose to sit on the ground among the crowd to see the ceremony</b></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Poetry</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He started to write poems in Urdu in his early schooling days. He also had a pen-name but later he gave up poetry. He dedicated his life for selfless social services. He destroyed all of his poems and writings. The only poems and ghazals written by him that could be seen today perhaps those published in the magazines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My father has a lot of writings too. All of them are in Malay language. They are in the form of unpublished short stories, novels and poetry. Now he is bedridden and he could only cry when he feels sick or hungry. I write many things too and I could imitate sounds (which made me a multilingual little kid). In fact I also love to draw things and used to have a vast imagination. But nowadays I think that I could only think about logical matters. I destroyed many of my notes too just like this person destroyed his poetry. What I could interpret from his action is that, maybe he came to the fact that <span style="color: red;"><b>everything which blossoms would wither and fade away in the dust</b></span>. People would forget us but the God remembers us always. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Conclusion </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many people might think that this man is an idiot when he refuse the government pension. But for me, he is <span style="color: red;"><b>a great saint</b></span> of his age. He believes that the hereafter is the factual one and not the "worldly" matters. I used to feel so sad, low-self esteem and humiliated when I heard non-Arab friends talking about how barbaric we are as the Arabs that made the God sent to Arab nations a prophet known as Muhammad s.a.w and some of our people are opportunistic. Other than that, I was confused on how those people who said such a thing know how the God "thinks"? What is with over-generalization and the notion of God-sent prophet to a certain nation when those non-Arab Muslims also claiming that Islam is a universal teaching? Their over-generalization seems to imply that they do not need Islam because they already were civilized thus the notion, "<span style="color: red;"><b>mercy to the worlds</b></span>" which refers to the noble prophet Muhammad s..a.w is also obsolete.... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This figure is an Arab. He is loyal to his country. His name is not even known to people but he helped many people around him without being known through selfless services... I did not know him before. I just came to know him just before I posted his simple story while browsing Indian-Arab figures in the Wikipedia, the encyclopedia which could be edited by almost anyone, haha... </div>

<b>Introduction </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The reference for this simple lesson is from the <span style="color: red;"><b>Tays</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">ī</span>r al-Na</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">ḥ</span>wu</b></span> or <span style="color: red;"><b>Concise Grammar for Arabic Speakers</b></span>. For first lessons, I would just include the reference for grammatical method in Arabic which has been simplified. Basically I am using simple English as the medium because it would be easier for non-Arabs to understand them...<br />
<br />
One has to remember that Arabic is an ancient language which survives as a spoken language. The Quranic Arabic which we use in our daily liturgy and rituals is the Arabic of Classical Period based from the <b><span style="color: red;">Quraysh</span></b> tribe speeches since our noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w is a member of the particular tribe. The Arabic dialects spoken in various Arabic speaking countries are the variants of Arabic which often mixed with other sister languages such as Aramaic and other languages as according to the regions. There is also Modern Standard Arabic which is used for standard communication in modern world.<br />
<br />
Just like speakers of other languages, the Arabic speakers developed various sciences to study and analyze the speeches. The applied ones are the <b><span style="color: red;">na</span></b><b><span style="color: red;"><span class="Unicode">ḥ</span>wu</span></b>, <span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">ṣ</span>arf</b></span>, <span style="color: red;"><b>usl</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">ū</span>b</b></span>, <b><span style="color: red;">balaghah</span></b>, and so on. They are usually connected with other advanced sciences such as the Quranic ones namely the <span style="color: red;"><b>tafs</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">ī</span>r</b></span>, <b><span style="color: red;">tajw</span></b><b><span style="color: red;"><span class="Unicode">ī</span>d</span></b>, <b><span style="color: red;">tarannum</span></b> and many others. Most Arab descents (of Arab fathers) living abroad were encouraged or "forced" to speak in Classical Arabic so they had lost their regional dialects.<br />
<br />
I think our generation is the last one survives as locally educated Arabs and the formal Arabic education was abolished to give way for national ones. Some of locally established Arabic schools were converted into Folk Religious ones. We are so much doomed as compared to Tamil or Chinese compatriots. Arabic stream has no defenders even of its own people or despite of our association with local sultanates. Nobody defend our cultural rights or education in Arabic. Younger generations have lost their sense of identity including the spoken language, religious observances, customs and awareness about clans. We are facing the identity conflicts despite the new-coming Arabs flooding our country as immigrants, expatriates, refugees or as tourists. We choose to speak in national language or in English just like those in Indian sub-continent choose Urdu or regional languages as their spoken languages.<br />
<br />
Let us begin with the lesson.... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Word</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A singular pronunciation which shows the meaning and it is not suitable for a complete communication. Example of the word are, book, exercise book or pen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Complete Sentence</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Consists of two words thus it is being broken to parts thus giving the meaning out of the silence of no meaning. E.g in English such as <span style="color: red;"><b>Ali is a brave man</b></span> or <span style="color: red;"><b>a beneficial book</b></span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Parts of Words</b></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Noun</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever thing pronounced among the human-being, animals, plants or inanimate matters or anything. E.g such as Ali, Fatima, tree, buffalo, book or chair. </div>
<ul>
<li><b>Verb</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever thing which shows the product of a deed in a certain time. E.g he wrote, writes, wrote, writing, write.<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Alphabets</b></li>
</ul>
In Arabic, the prepositions are signified with the alphabets. The same thing goes to other Semitic languages for e.g Akkadian, Assyrian, Hebrew or Ethiopian. They are referred in Arabic grammar as; any pronunciation which shows no manifestation of complete meaning when it is alone except that when it is paired with others. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Verbs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><b>Past Tense</b></li>
</ul>
Refers to any deed which has been conducted in the past. I think here comes example in Arabic....<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Normal Arabic speakers actually do not really pay attention for
grammatical order of the speeches. They just speak and write in it.
However, some people do emphasize on the correct speeches such as the
late <span style="color: red;"><b>Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal</b></span>
or Sharia jurists because it is important for them in providing the
guidelines for public. If your jurist speak rustic language, then do not
listen to him. His jurisdiction might be flawed and barbaric! I wish this simple
lesson would be a quick reference and helpful for those who are interested in Arabic
and Middle Eastern studies.<br />

I am just here to paste some information about this fellow Arab of Indian nationality. I think this guy explains my personality too. Everyone also reads about the traits of the admin of this site when reading about him except that the admin is not a great figure like him, haha. I am pasting all about these figures for everyone including myself to learn about qualities and values of simple living people. I have the same beliefs like this guy.... Though he is not a big name but he is a great figure at least in my heart...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Introduction </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

He had a vast study of Islamic literature. He visited all famous institutes and libraries of the subcontinent in search of knowledge and contacted eminent ulamas (scholars). His life is <span style="color: red;"><b>dedicated in serving people around</b></span> him, and to guide them and to form an ideal society, at least on a small scale in his own hometown. He set up different academies and organizations. His achievements in the creation of true Islamic temper in his colleagues, by his efforts. There was no religious or historic occasion, event in India not attended by him and his colleagues. He <span style="color: red;"><b>did not get big name nor famous like other people</b></span>, because <span style="color: red;"><b>he never wanted name</b></span> or<span style="color: red;"><b> fame neither he ever opted for any position</b></span>. He always truly believed in and practiced, "<span style="color: red;"><b>Do your duty for the Almighty, but not for name or fame!</b></span>". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Vision</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He had a very clear goal to spread the principles of Islam for which his aims and objectives were....</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>To make his society and educated, self conscious and religious one.</li>
<li>To perform Juma'a prayer at one place in a "Nahia" (now is known as Mandal) as laid down in jurisprudence of worship. </li>
<li>To set up an organization at each mandal level to consider and discuss the various problems of the locality and try to execute its decisions.</li>
<li>To utilize Muslim endowment properties for construction of commercial complex for uplift of Muslim community.</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Background</b></span><br />
<br />
<b>Family</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was born in 1909 in <span style="color: red;"><b>Mahboobnagar</b></span>, India. His family is of Hadhrami Arab origin, <b><span style="color: red;">Ba-Masdus</span></b>, which migrated to Hyderabad in Deccan region from Hadramawt, Yemen. His father, Masdus bin Abdullah was a highly respected amir of the Ba-Masdus tribe as well as a <span style="color: red;"><b>qadhi </b></span>(judge), <b><span style="color: red;">motawalli</span></b> and imam of the mosque of <span style="color: red;"><b>Old Palmoor</b></span> in Mahboobnagar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His father was very pious, honest and humble man, as well as a poet and was loved by one and all. After migration to India, he selected Mahboobnagar in Hyderabad for his residence along with his family and other relatives of his tribe. He purchased a vast land near the district jail of Mahboobnagar, and first constructed a mosque. Then he constructed the houses for his family and his tribesmen. He had two daughters and three sons. The sons are 'Ali, Ahmed, Abdullah and Salam. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ali went back to Hadramawt in his early days in order to obtain his ancestral legal rights. Ahmed received his early education in the town and then went to Hyderabad for higher education. During his high school education, he was the classmate of Mohammad Bahadur Khan who was later awarded with the title, Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung by the then ruler of the Hyderabad state and became the founder president of Majlis-e-Ittehad al-Muslimin. In Osmania University, Ahmed was the classmate of the famous Islamic scholar, Dr. Muhammad Hamidullah and Nawab Mir Ahmed Ali Khan, the former minister of Hyderabad State government. After receiving his bachelor's degree in law, he practiced first at Mahboobnagar then shifted to Hyderabad where he became a leading advocate and was nominated as an Executive of Majlis-e-Ittehad al-Muslimin. Prior to his shifting to Hyderabad, he along with his colleague, Muhammad Muniruddin, purchased a vast land comprising of 11 acres (45 000 m<sup>2</sup>) in Mahboobnagar by the side of Hyd-Raichur road and endowed it as Anjumam Khudamm-e-Millat in the year 1940 for the establishment of Muslim students hostel especially those who come to the town from rural areas. In 1949, he migrated to Pakistan. He had written few but competent books and served as Professor of Law in Karachi University.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Early Life</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He studied his primary and middle school education in Mahboobnagar. Then, he went to Hyderabad for high school education since there was no high school in his hometown. Later, he joined the Dar al-Ulum high school in Hyderabad. He took admission in Jami'a Millia Islamia, New Delhi where he got the privilege of being taught by eminent scholars like Dr. Zakir Hussain (later became the Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University and then, the President of India). The others are Prof. Muhammad Mujib and Prof. Aslam Jairajpuri. He could continue his studies at Jami'a Millia Islamia hardly for a year or more but return to his home town due to his ill health. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By that time the Middle School Mahboobnagar
was upgraded as High School and therefore he took admission in the high
school. Fortunately, he got the opportunity of being taught by a famous
Urdu poet
and teacher Mr. Mohd. Ismail Shareef Azal who found talents in him. Due
to his special attention and sincere teachings Salam Masdoosi was
inclined towards Urdu poetry
and started writing verses and ghazals under the pen name first as
"Shaheen" and then "Aasi". To promote literary talents of his school
mates, he started a monthly magazine by name " Tarjuman-e-Bazm " in
which the student writers used to write their articles and verses in
their own handwriting. By the by he started his activities in religious
and national movements. In the religious matters he was a strict
follower of the teachings of Mohaddis Dehelwi as well as the teachings of Moulana Hussain Ahmed Madani and Moulana Abul Kalam Azad. As regards his political interest he was the follower of one nation theory whereas his elder brother Ahmed Abdullah Al Masdoosi
was in favor of two nations theory and the partition of country. On the
other hand Salam Masdoosi was a pure nationalist and a supporter of All India National Congress and took active part in the freedom struggle of the country and was imprisoned also.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am just starting to fast again tomorrow... I had stopped once because I am afraid that I am doing things out of the context and I really wanted to be in accordance with traditional and internationally agreed convention by the majority... The stop is to review all traditional sources either the primary and secondary sources besides the opinions of pious predecessors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I actually had practiced fasting with all of these insights with me since five years ago although these were from my previous practices and knowledge during my young teenage life. I checked them all and they are in line with <span style="color: red;"><b>the practices of a pilgrim in Holy Mecca</b></span>. So, I still contemplate with these as one of the <span style="color: red;"><b><u>comparative</u> benchmarks</b></span> although I am an Orthodox Muslim. It makes my task easier in order to understand psychological phenomenon around me which forms a part of the path of "self" purification for an advanced practitioner who wander in thick forest, deserts and mountainous regions to be free from the "<span style="color: red;"><b>chains</b></span>" tying their mind...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ethics</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Avoid from destroying other creatures life which also include insects and animals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Avoid taking whatever is not ours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Avoid from any genital misconduct.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Avoid from incorrect speech.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Avoid from intoxicants and anything which would lead to carelessness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wisdom</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to acquire wisdom one has to have... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Right view</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Right intention</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Moral Conducts</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Right speech</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Right action</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Right livelihood</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Concentration</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Right mindfulness</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Right effort</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Right concentration </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of these could be "practiced" in the same time or one can start them one by one as according to the stages to accommodate his capacity. They looks easy but to bring them into conduct is actually difficult. It would lead ones to other virtues. It is about the second type of understanding... Listening and contemplation itself could not transform ones mind to combat with the "darkness" within one self. It is only accomplished through the practice of meditation... Everything which I practiced in the framed term known as "da'awa" and stuffs emerged from these... I sat down and eat with homeless people everywhere as it emerged in my "mind" to do so. It only comes when I am alone contemplating through breath... Not when I am with people because my mouth will be sealed in front of them because they will think that I am possessed by ghosts or simply a lunatic guy...<br />
<br />
Just my experience, I am talking simply through experience and limited things that I know. Please do not take anything as mystical, please!! Nothing mystical nor magical. In fact, I am not so much into speculations but I am sure that I am <span style="color: red;"><b>not free from attachment to perceptions</b></span> unless if I could ignore anything which happened around me and coming into the "action". There are Arabic terms for these which could match the "Sufi" circles. But I refuse from using Arabic or other languages term while using English. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Says the noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w, "<span style="color: red;"><b>A person who pleased the charity or goodness of himself and admits that the evil of himself is evil thus he is a faithful person</b></span>". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be well pleased when the God the Highest bestow you with the success to perform obedience to Him o faithful servant. Be grateful to Him with all of your heart when He honors through your services and since He has chosen you to serve Him. Pray to Him may He accept from You through His grace may He accepts your charity in which He facilitates them to you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ali r.a quoted as saying, "<span style="color: red;"><b>Observe more on what is accepted from your action rather than the action itself since it would be much of it if it is accepted</b></span>". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Never stop from admitting your weaknesses in fulfilling your obligation from the rights of the God the Highest upon you, no matter how intense you are in the obedience towards Him. Since His rights upon you is larger than yourself. He brought you into the existence from nothing. He perfected His grace upon you. He faces you with bestowal and generosity, with His power and with the force which emanates from Him that you could perform devotions to Him. Through the success and His mercy that you perform worship to Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be extremely discreet and never stain the cloth of your faith by going against the commandments of the God the Highest. Quickly repent and repairing yourself each time you had committed sinful action while you are forgetful through remorseful repentance. Never stop from worrying and being anxious although you feel that you sincerely in obedience and perfecting your worship as worrying and anxiety on the sincerity is a sign of a faithful servant. Be aware that the noble prophets of the God the Highest though infallible but still worried and anxious before Him. So do the saints although the God the Highest protecting them always but they never count anything that they had performed before Him due to the anxiety that their worship might be tainted with ill-intention. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You should be more rightful on the anxiety and worry more since the noble prophets and the saints know more about the boundless mercy of the God the Highest as compared to you. They have less prejudice in their thought regarding the God the Highest, righteous in seeking His forgiveness and greater in optimism for His generosity and bestowal as compared to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As such, follow their examples may you be saved in the hereafter. Walk on their footsteps may you receive the blessings of success. Hold fast the "path" of the God the Highest. Says the God the Highest, "<span style="color: red;"><b>And how would you deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of the God the Highest, and among you lives the messenger. Whoever holds firmly to the God the Highest will be shown as way that is straight</b></span>" (Surah Ali-Imran 3:101).</div>

I have got these caricatures from an acquaintance regarding the divergences within traditions and schools within Islamic religious bodies. It actually sadden me when people are attacking each other until it affects the faith of laymen apart of the knowledgeable ones who "debates" and argue! I just do not use any social sites anymore but simply using this blogging site before this site stop itself when the "time" is out. Never assume that we are teaching anyone but always be a "student" because this is the attitude of a "truth" seeker... </div>

This one also happens in real life. It portrays some angles of Muslim society in our country or maybe elsewhere although in different settings. This movie was played in our television, directed by <b><span style="color: red;">Erma Fatimah</span></b>. I am not so much a fan of the actors or actresses in the movie. I simply watch a movie if I think that it is meaningful for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I watched this while waiting for my x-ray result at a polyclinic in Kajang for my one week job as a Customer Service Agent in the KL Airport Services Sdn. Bhd around the mid of 2013. I am quite lucky to find this in English so people from other side of the world could at least understand what they say, haha... Some people might look at me like this guy while I also encountered people like this who talk to me like that guy, lol. My third year roommate was also like this before he finds out that I am an orthodox Muslim guy. This movie raised quite a polemic among people... </div>

First of all I watch this movie with different layers of view while laughing. I am aware that they are all, <span style="color: red;"><b>perception</b><b>s</b></span>! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Synopsis</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rahimi, had just returned from his religious studies. I am not sure where he studied. His attitude in correcting people in which he feels as not in accordance with Islamic jurisprudence without thinking about others' feeling. The people in his neighborhood though are also Muslims feel uneasy. The movie takes place in Ramadan. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rahimi's father think that his extreme attitude is quite a headache. His father tried to advise him to lessen his extreme attitude but it ends up that his father is the one being lectured by him. After knowing that his sister, 'Ain is actually an adopted daughter of his parents, he immediately performs the <b><span style="color: red;">salat al-tawbah</span></b> (prayer of repentance) because he previously had touched his "adopted" sister while they are not siblings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Farhana, who is a neighbor in Rahimi's neighborhood plans to seduce him. It is just to test Rahimi's faith whether he is going to buy it or leaving it. In the beginning, Rahimi resists Farhana but after long being disturbed by Farhana, he suddenly feels some differences in his heart. However, he still maintain the boundaries between him and Farhana. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Ain feels uneasy with his "brother" attitude as she thinks that he is a backward and conservative. He prohibits 'Ain from mixing around with her male college friends. Rahimi humiliated her in front of her male classmate while they are doing revision together at her house. He explains that they are going to commit vices and it would later lead them to adultery. 'Ain cannot accept his brother's attitude since her "parents" are also there and they were informed about the presence of her friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One day, Rahimi's mother had asked 'Ain to go for the Bazar Ramadan to buy his father's favorite "Kueh Lopes". 'Ain then asked her brother to send her there because she feels tiresome to walk there. Rahimi agreed but with a condition that 'Ain must not touch him and staying far from him while riding the motorbike. 'Ain irritatingly agreed with his brother's condition. In the middle of the road, they met Farhana who is walking with a man. Rahimi while seeing that had lost his control and they both fell from the motorbike.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Ain who has respiration disease suddenly being attacked with asthma due to the panic. Since Rahimi could not touch her sister because they are not related by blood. A man offers his help but Rahimi insist that the man should not touch his sister in order to carry her into the car while he also cannot touch her. Farhana who coincidentally is there rushed to see them. She told him to quickly bring his sister to the hospital. Rahimi prayed to the God to forgive him while he has to carry his adopted-sister because it is an emergency. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While in the hospital, Farhana then asks him why he always avoided from looking at her face or avoiding from greeting her? Rahimi only keep his silence and saying nothing. While 'Ain was discharged from the treatment room, Rahimi immediately take the medicine from the dispensary and bringing 'Ain home. Farhana was left there wondering herself on why Rahimi behaves like that....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the morning of <span style="color: red;"><b>'Eid al-Mubarak,</b></span> Rahimi and his family traditionally asking forgiveness of each other as it is a tradition here. Farhana visiting the family. Rahimi trying to slip away while looking at Farhana and the man whom he saw walking with Farhana at the time he rides the motorbike with his sister. He thought that the man is Farhana's boyfriend. Later, Farhana introduce the man as her younger brother and Rahimi gladly smiles and return to the living room and shaking the hand of Farhana's younger brother. - End... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Moral of the Movie</b></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="color: red;"><b>Nothing wrong in correcting people</b></span> or reminding them on the right ways but it must be done appropriately and with manner.</li>
<li>One should not humiliate others while performing the <span style="color: red;"><b>da'awa</b></span> especially when it is done in the midst of people.</li>
<li>Society is a "complex creature" itself thus a <span style="color: red;"><b>da'</b><b><span class="Unicode">ī</span></b></span> should know the methods of da'awa to be employed within the society and it has to do with <span style="color: red;"><b>psychology</b></span> and <b><span style="color: red;">mentality</span></b>. </li>
<li>The <span style="color: red;"><b>link of mercy</b></span> is something which should be protected in society and it has to do with the relationship of an individual with the society. </li>
<li>A person who delivers the message should bear in his mind that he is <b><span style="color: red;">not a judge</span></b> and the same human-being with the listeners while delivering the message (<span style="color: red;"><b>e<span class="Unicode">ḥ</span>no du'<span class="Unicode">ā</span>t wa l<span class="Unicode">ā</span> qu<span class="Unicode">ḍh</span><span class="Unicode">ā</span>t</b></span>).</li>

This one is made by a Myanmar national. Sorry, I do not like to call Myanmar as Burma. I personally recognize their government and I have few days experience dealing with <b><span style="color: red;">Rauhingya</span></b> refugees before my dream to join the United Nations being torn to pieces because of responsibility toward my family, my father and mother. I managed to learn few words from Burmese such as <b><span style="color: red;">malesia phi malei</span></b> (where do you live?) and some Rohingya words such as <span style="color: red;"><b>nam ki ho?</b></span> (what is your name) or <b><span style="color: red;">kungframo</span></b> (village), lol. Some of the educated Rauhingya could understand Urdu and that makes me easier in getting their information. There are many Myanmarese in our country. Some of them even could speak in native slang since they had been here since the 90s.<br />
<br />
Our Sultanate had also some contacts with Burmese empire when the empire sacked Siamese empire and we down the South had to suffer in the conflicts that happened closer to us. Our first prime minister's mother, Lady Manjalara is also from <span style="color: red;"><b>Martaban</b></span> which is a region in today's Myanmar and she is married to the sultan of our state. Practically, our first prime minister was a royalty because his father, Sultan Abd al-Hamid Halim Shah (1881-1943) was a sultan or a king which I think quite weird because there are also prohibitions for royalties to directly be involved in political scenes of the country. So, Myanmarese friend do not have to worry. Many of us still aware about your empire involvements in our historical scenes, haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With regard to issues around the world especially in Africa, Eastern Europe, the United States and so on... Let the video speaks for itself and congratulations for Myanmar SEA games. I think we should realize that no one is of pure breed. You could also look at Arabia historical site within this humble site or other references on the lineages of Arabians and others. Look at how they developed their tribal and clan identity from the previous ones. The concept is almost the same everywhere... </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am trying to structure some of the language lessons that I have in my notebooks. Altogether, I had learned few languages which is not spoken in my country or even the archaic ones such as Pali-Sanskrit while some of them are the spoken languages where I speak in them in my daily life as according to the region where I stay for example Malay, Chinese, Urdu and Thai. I think I would dump my notes here for everyone to get the benefit if the interested viewers stepped into this humble site. Arabic script is not so easy for Roman script keyboard and I am not a good software engineer. This is quite a trouble for me since Arabic is not so developed in transliteration as compared to Sanskrit, hehe...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know Malay is not a useful language out there but it is useful for those who wanted to study the classical <span style="color: red;"><b>Turat</b></span> books translated and adapted by the clerics who speak and write in Malay in South East Asian region. Malay was the medium to teach Buddhism around the 7th century AD. It is now the medium to teach Islam and also other basic sciences although not as much popular as English or other languages. Languages are extremely important for students of <span style="color: red;"><b>Shari'a</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>Us</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b><span class="Unicode">ū</span>luddin</b></span>. No joking... You would not be a good <span style="color: red;"><b>qadhi</b></span> while your languages are at the level of three years old infant. How are you going to interpret jurisdictions when you are not good in language and linguistic studies? At least we should know the basic of them as a tool for ourselves...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>Ishtiq<span class="Unicode">ā</span>q</b></span> literally means <span style="color: red;"><b>etymology</b></span> or <span style="color: red;"><b>derivation</b></span> for the Arabic words. Arabic is not so much difficult when we study it from our childhood time. The languages such as English, Persian, Urdu, Spanish or Malay themselves absorbed a large number of Semitic words through Arabic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Formula</b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This system emphasizes on the root word so you also need to know about it as to make it easy for you to check the dictionary. For example the word...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>كَتَبَ</b></span> write</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Could also be developed into several other nouns such as...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>مكْتَبٌ</b></span> desk</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>كْتَابٌ</b></span> book</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>مكْتُوبٌ</b></span> written</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>كاتِبٌ</b></span> author</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>مَكتَبَةٌ</b></span> library</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is just an example. There are many examples for this. Among scholarly works that we could refer with regard to this topic were of <span style="color: red;"><b>Ibn Qutaybah</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>Ibn Duraid</b></span>. Both of them were from Abbasid caliphate. The latter identify himself as a Qahtanite Arab while the previous was known as a Persian descent. I simply hope that the notes at least would help Arabic students. I am sorry no transliteration for the Arabic words. I am lazy, haha... </div>
