Beautiful South Thai

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

If those who were born and maintain relation with the state in northern Malaysian Peninsula like Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, and Northern Perak, they would also find it hard to resist from the influence which coming from neighboring states in neighboring country which is Thailand...

This song was actually produced during the Southern Thai insurgency in Pattani and Yalar provinces during the administration of Mr. Thaksin Shinawat. I have nothing against Mr. Shinawat nor any leader in Thailand. Even we Muslim outside of Thailand border actually respect Thai emperor, Mahagasatr Bhumibal just like we respect the Sultan who lead our state and we would kick those who insult him or his consort. This song was sung by Southern Thai artists whom are Luang Gai and Jiep Benjabarn. Luang Gai is a Muslim while Benjabarn is a Buddhist.

When I stayed in late grandparents' house during weekend off, I just tuned to Thai radio station and sleep beside radio because I felt bored being there alone while grandparents doing their chores around or taking a nap in the noon. I didn't really pray like a Muslim when I was 13 years old and I would hide myself during prayer times while we were in the madarasah, hahahaa. 

This song actually encourages Southern Thais to maintain unity and co-exist in peace since we are brothers and sisters. Our state was once almost being integrated into a Thai province in Southern Thai too while one of our territory which is Satun (Setul) had already being an integrated part of Southern Thai province. These singers are using Southern Thai dialect, it's not Central Thai dialect used in Bangkok or elsewhere in Thailand. We share great deals of similarity with them outside the border there, hahaha. When we went to Thailand whether in Dannok or Bangkok, we would speak using Southern Thai dialect unless if the people speak to us in Malay.

I remember during lexicography project during first degree, I used this song as a project and the lecturer for this course, Dr. Aniswal is also a Kedah person but she had been living in London for many years so her Malay or Kedahan Malay sound quite different in accent even when she tried to speak in Malay. Well, I understand her situation and she's a nice person who does not boast around even when she lived there in Britain because we love our state no matter where we are. I used to use Thai model for our interpreting project where most of colleagues using well-known languages such as Swedish, French, Arabic, and other Caucasoid languages but we only use a modest language which is Thai and we didn't record it in video but simply talking whatever we had in our mind, lol. It was so hilarious when I played a character as a Tuk Moh Siam (Thai shaman) speaking to a Malay patient (Birshahman) with Amir as my interpreter. I don't know whether lecturer was laughing because I felt quite ashamed speaking in Southern Thai dialect in front of people who didn't speak the language. Whatever it is, we passed the course so it can flow down the stream, hahahahaa.... 

I heard that there are Dai people in Southern China... I guess in Jinghung city or Sipsongbanna of Yunnan province. They speak the language resembles Thai and Lao. Cultural traits are almost the same too with Theravada Buddhism and support of Gathin offerings by the emperor of Thailand. I used to listen to some videos where those people conversing in their language and I could more or less understand them, haha.

It's rainy season now and I don't know what happened to those in Bangkok. I also wish that Southern Thai do not being hit by flood because it will sure affect our states up here. If we have more sustenance with us, we may also help those in Thailand and Cambodia with some donation.   

Sealed with prayers for mercy, peace, and love, amin!   

Egyptian Movie : 'Asal Aswad

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

Egyptian movie had been very influential in Kedah around 1950s until early 1960s. Around 1960s, movies from India also penetrating Kedah state in the theaters imported by Chinese towkeh (businessman). A little town like in Kodiang of Kubang Pasu district also had a theater called Panggung Gembira Sentiasa. 

Presenting everyone a movie about American-Egyptian returning home to Egypt after 20 years stuck in the US. The title means Black Honey. The main character Misriy Sayyid el-'Arab (Muhammad Hilmy). His Arabic is kind of cute, hahaha. I tried to imitate him talking in Arabic with American accent while I am alone in the room and having a good laugh.

 

Basically this guy has American passport and nationality but he keep telling people that he is an Egyptian. And he speaks Arabic so people who had treated him well in the beginning turn to be harsh to him. Check at what happened in the passport control since he was convinced by the person who sits beside him to fill disembarkation card with Egyptian as his nationality because he told the guy that he is an Egyptian. 

There is also a scene about how dirty Egypt is when the driver who takes passenger at the airport throw out thrash from the window and the American-Egyptian stopped that guy from throwing thrashes out of the window. Not to forget low-cost ink used at the newspaper painted at his fingers, hahaha... Also scenes on how horrible Egyptians way of speaking English for e.g an English teacher pronounced class as keelaus... Thank you ferry mash... (Thank you very much). The character also has a tattoo if everyone notice that while watching.

Basically one doesn't have to understand the movie, because we can see their expression. Muhammad Hilmiy is one of my favorite actor, haha. I'm sorry to non-Arabic speaker, it's without subtitle. I wish everyone stumbled by enjoy different angles of view from Northern Africa and Mediterranean region. So, what everyone think about an Orthodox Muslim guy watching movies? I'm not following others but this is one of a way on how I observe the world and around. It's not only for entertainment while I am bored. It makes me feel wanted to visit Egypt too, omm ed-donya (mother of the world)... bahebbak awi awi : )

Arabian Chronicles : Genealogy of Arabian Tribes

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

Origin of Arab Descents

In most of Arabian historical books no matter written by Muslims or non-Muslim Arabs, Arabian were actually divided into three kind of Arabs :

1. Ba'ida Arabs 
2. 'Ariba Arabs 
3. Musta'riba Arabs 

According to Abul Fidaa, Arabs were divided to three as what had been mentioned. 

Ba'ida Arabs

It means ancient Arabs in Arabian Peninsula. Their life and stories could not be easily accessed since they were so ancient. More ancient than the Hindu religion of Indian sub-continent. We may only see only some of their remnants and that is through scholars' researchers and archeology. Examples of these ancient Arab tribes are the 'Aad, the Thamud, and the Early Jurhumite. The 'Aads and the Thamuds are mentioned in the glorious Quran. They have prophets being sent among them by the God whom are Saaleh and Hud. They are also mentioned in Old Testament. The Aads and the Thamuds were destroyed and accursed by the God. We could only see some of their remnants since they were all destroyed. 

'Ariba Arabs

These people came from the Early Jurhumite which is also mentioned as among the ancient Arabs. They had escaped the great flood of the Ma'areb Dam of Yemen. Their descendents were called as the second Jurhumite. After that, their descendents are known as the Qahtanites. They are all the same people, and their forefathers could be traced from Ya'areb bin Yasyub bin Qahthan. They still exist until today and mingle with people around. 

Musta'riba Arabs

These people traced their lineage from Ismael the son of Abraham a.s. Abraham a.s had came down to the Arabian Peninsula from the Land of Cana'an to send his second wife, Hagar according to revelation from the God to the barren land since Sarah, his first wife feel envious after the birth of infant Ismael a.s while she bear no son yet. After Ismael a.s became a young man, Abraham a.s still come to visit his family there. He reconstructed again the Ka'aba building as apart of the house of worship dedicated to the God through the command of the God. It is mentioned in the glorious Quran in surah Ibrahim. And I had performed rituals of pilgrimage which commemorates Abraham a.s, mother Hagar, and Ismael a.s.

So, the rumor about Shivalingam of Hindus is absurd and baseless. Only three years old kid would talk like that and I had been there in Holy Mecca. Semite nations are way older than Hinduism and Hinduism is a roof for many religions that exist in ancient India. We can trace our history to Abraham a.s and when and where did god Shiva being born? What is the background of god Shiva? I only know that god Shiva is the lord of the Kiratas.

Ismael a.s married to woman from the second Jurhumite tribe who had lived together with Hagar and Ismael after Hagar had founded the water source in the barren land. The descents of Ismael a.s and his wife being known as Musta'riba Arabs. It means non-Arabs who were Arabized. Sometimes they are also called as the 'Adnani. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w was born from this lineage.  

Arabian Chronicles : Introduction

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

This is actually what we had learned in our school in subjects called as seerah or our history either before or after the rise of our noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w in the Arabian Peninsula. Some notes actually came from Muslim scholars of South East Asia such as Dr. Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah and most of them are not liars like Orientalists during imperialism period of 19th century. 

We had been looking very closely at those Orientalists. Don't think that the world do not looking at how Western world is making herself a pathetic laughing stock with her boastful 'scholars' who were not guided by the holy spirit but by their blind desire just to bash others and showing their dominion over others. We should also take the account of those 'scholars' life and look at how their life goes on until they see their death. Whether they live a 'happy' or 'blessed' life and also their physical and mental health level, hehehe.

This is how we learn our history in Asia and in underdeveloped countries where people still live on trees, hehehe... Basics must be the same although there are differences here and there right?

Origin of Nations

In modern world today, we have branches of science which is called in universities as anthropology. It means, a branch of science to investigate the origin of a certain nation and its relation with others. Many scholars had made their researches and they founded that Arabic is related to other languages of the Middle East and Mediterranean area such as Phonecian, Hebrew, Akkadian, and Assyrian. All of these people who speak these languages were actually descendents of the same ancestor. Other criteria which proves that they are people who are related to each other is from their appearances, black hair, bushy beard, skin color, and through biological proves such as DNA or haplogroup, and anthropology through their body shape. All of these researches shown that Arabs are among Semite groups.

Gustav Le Bonn said that for few centuries long, Arabs had already exist in this earth. Those who studied and doing archeological researches had founded that the shape and appearance of human body who lived during the period where it was almost the time of iron age is almost the same to each other.

Those who learned about linguistics assumed that, wide plateau which is located between two rivers which are the Tigris and Euphrates, Caucasus area, and Northern part of Arabian Peninsula had already been inhabited by the same nation and they were using the same language which were the language of the Semites. From this assumption, Arabs were considered as apart of Semite nation and related to the Assyrians or Arameans and Hebrews.

Those researchers had also been in conflict in their opinion regarding the place where the Semites came from. In the Old Testament, it was mentioned that the first human lived between the two great rivers which are the Tigris and Euphrates before they were traveling around and resettle again around the world. Human in ancient time was just the same like human today. They have feet to walk around and not just dwelling in a particular place. From the Semite nation, there came the Assyrians and Akkadians of Babylon. Then the Arameans in Syria, Phonecians along the beaches of Syrian sea, Hebrews in the land of Canaan, 'some' Arabian tribes of the Arabian Peninsula, and Ethiopians in Africa.  

There are three views of famous researchers and these people are of course from the West :

I. Rebter and Salet have this view that Semites were originated from Ethiopia in Africa. 

II. Sprenger, Serider, Robertson, and Wenkler believe that Semites were originated from Arabian Peninsula. Later, they were spread all-over the world.

III. Egnazie Guidi said that Semites came from northern of Euphrates river.

Although these people have different opinions regarding the origin of Semite nation but all of them are in common that from the Semites came all of races and nations in the world. As to say, my forefathers are not monkeys. They are all human-being and the first father is Adam a.s who was a sage. But that monkey evolution theory perhaps plausible to Darwin who propose the theory and those who are faithful with it since there were also mentions about sub-human in Old Testament. Old Testament did mentioned about Nephilim, a kind of monster who look like human but were not human. They plundered and polluted human-being genetics too.

Language of human was just one but because of world climate changed and there were development in human life, language became different according to regions. Written languages too became different. Grammar and language structure of human turns to be different to each other.
