Blue Skies

Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

 

Among cool Malayalam movies... I guess the scene in the video is in Eastern India, Naga state. The people there look a little South East Asian as it is close to Burmese border, haha.. I checked the title and it means, "Blue Skies, Green Waters, Red Earth". The guy which is the main lead is Salman Dulquer. Corresponding words to Malay in the title are nīlakashaṃ (nilangkasa) and bhūmi (bumi) so congratulations!! Those from India and Malay speaking countries had just learned the same words in different languages, haha. I have knowledge in both Sanskrit and Pali, our paternal elders speak in Saraiki (Southern Punjabi) and Urdu apart of Arabic so nothing to be surprised, lol...

Twilight Saga II: Breaking Dawn

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

I just returned like 50 minutes ago from the theater watching the movie Breaking Dawn about the vampire thingy with a friend. Anyway he treats me with the ticket so first of all as a sign of gratitude, thank you. You shouldn't have it. I think I would love to be the first to treat people but when they treat me I feel just... Guilty and a little bit shy because it is not our right by rites or traditions...

The movie is still lingering about the characters such as the "vegetarian" Cullen family with the main hero, that British, Pattinson guy as Edward and Kirsten Stewart as Bella. In this second part of the saga, it shows briefly that Bella was transformed into a vampire by her husband, Edward. So, she could feel herself the obsession of being a white pale vampire. She also has daughter with her husband and giving birth to her when she was a human. Her name is Renesmee played by Mackenzie Foy. When Edward and Bella returned to their house, they founded that Jacob (Taylor Lautner) has an imprint on their daughter. I checked what does that mean. It means that the wolf gazed at the baby and had fallen in love with her. Then it is about the battle that nearly broken among the two sides of vampires and the werewolves because of misunderstanding. It also shows the battle scene but it is just a prophecy by Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) that Volturi or the Chief of Vampire Council would also be killed in the battle if he still insist to kill the half-vampire little girl who is Renesmee.

There are vampires of various nationalities involved in the scene where they allied to face Volturi. Two vampires from Romania had said that they waited for 1500 years to seek revenge on Volturi. But I am not sure what was their grudge with the chief. Maybe it is like a pact of Protestant vampires who protesting the centralized Catholic orders with the help of a Coptic vampire, lol. It was a peaceful ending anyway but the chief implies that there would be future battle where they would destroy the Cullen coven in Forks.

I did not really understand the movie when I watched it because I did not watched the first saga so kind of like puzzling what the hell is happening? I did not really watch the movies because it seems like too much of feminine fantasy. But I love the way they present the movie in the beginning. How I wish I know how to make my own videos with some computer knowledge and editing skill but too bad I am not so good in technical field and also bad with computer skills. It perhaps could serve to explain about my faith and belief. Also on cultures or environment surrounding me and what makes me a S.i.R since I do not like to be interviewed or discovered by people but love to cover my face when talking, using symbolization and appear like a hapless beggar or just among "people" in front others... lol... Thank you for stumbling by this humble site. Lord bless with much love...

Hindi Movie : I Hate Luv Storys

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

Perhaps when we look physically orthodox, people might judge us as a person who prays all the time and only visiting masjids. Yes, I visit masjids and religious teachers to get blessings but I am not an angel. I am just a human-being and I look at others as human-being too. That is why I always lament my sins. Angels have no sins. They have no choice but only to exercise Lord's commands. I watch movies too and I am not only watching movies from Eastern Asia but also from South Asia. 

I mingle also with ungodly people and also going in and out non-Muslim Chinese restaurants. I walked inside temples and churches talking with people there. I followed second sister to concerts before though I don't like her favorite singers, hehe. I listen to all sort of musics and also asked my ex-colleague about metal musics because I was ignorant about these kind of underground musics before. I also watch theaters and also brought my friends to cultural festivals when I was an undergraduate student. I just become like this because I am struggling to fit myself in the studies and the level which I found is not suitable for me. On the other hand, my paternal relatives mostly aren't observant Muslims as compared to my maternal relatives who are more traditional according to how close they are to their religious community. Some of them would come to the extend that they are Islamic than others due to that they actually take their culture as their religion in case of Malay descents relatives. This also happens everywhere around the world. Like yesterday, my senior Azren also talked to me that her mum didn't believe that the cuisine made by Chinese Muslim in China are halal though the person who prepare the cooking is a Muslim just because he looks Chinese and the cooking looks Chinese and in Malaysia most Chinese people are non-Muslim. I guess maybe Azren is referring to Rasa Halal Oriental program hosted by Farah. We always talk about this problem and stigma in our society. Ignorance about what is culture and what is religion is widespread. 

I don't really mingle with other orthodox (traditional?) Muslims because I am way more open than them and I am afraid they will be affected with heart-attack if they see how I mingle with ungodly people because these people usually are not scared of me nor looking at me like a freak. We are in the middle of these areas of East and West and we are people in diaspora. This movie I would like to recommend to others who does not like typical Hindu movie. How I was introduced to Hindi movies? Let me tell everyone about how I know Urdu-Hindi and its movies or songs. 

Introduction to Hindi Movies in Malayan Peninsula

During 1950's and 1960's, our state begin to have access with North Indian and Pakistani cinemas. Before that rich people (Arab descents) can watch Arabian movies (very rare) from Syria and from Egypt. Most of the time older people around this times listening to Arabian music. At this time Malaysia is still in the process. My state was included as apart of Malayan Peninsula and later Malaysia through a forced agreement with British in 1948. They forced our royalty and Sultan to sign the treaty with them through legal terms. My lecturer always say, Europeans using legal terms to trick others. I guess this is what they mean but this is our old stories.

This is from the biography of my dad. He was a writer and he wrote also for a Malay newspaper. His Malay language was quite poetic as compared to us who are his kids, hehehe. I am only good in our state language. Diaspora people have to survive in this way where we have to speak languages of people around. Just look at Indians or Bangladeshis in Mamak restaurants. How do they learn Malay language? It is not actually easy if we learn it through classes but these people could quickly speak in our national language and also understand slang and dialects without being provided with classes. I was introduced to Hindi-Urdu movies by my own dad. Though we are of Arab origin but our ancestors did not come directly from Arabia. They came from India and Pakistan before the lines were drawn to divide sub-Indian continent. The line was known as Durand Line and also Radcliffe Line. Radcliffe Line was drawn to separate India from Pakistan and Durand Line was drawn to separate Afghanistan from Pakistan. If we talk about India, we actually refer to pre-independent India and Indian states with sultans. Kedah Sultanate has relationship with Indian Sultanates and they exchanged artisans, architects and also receiving teachers from Indian Sultanates and states particularly from Gujarat since it was a post for Arab soldiers from Pakistan beside those from Arabia. We were also connected with Burma.   

My dad loves many evergreen Hindi movies. He was largely influenced by Indians and his eating style is also like Indian. He takes curry and he loves Mamak restaurant stuffs. As compared to me, I and some of my sisters were largely influenced by Chinese community around us. When he always listen to Hindi songs and movies it also indirectly influence us although we do not actually know about all of these stuffs. Later, when we always listen and watch them through media, we grabbed the language. Dad even sings Hindi songs at our ears when we are going to sleep. If he do it now perhaps I will offend him by asking him why not reciting Quranic verses at my ears? LOL. 

Many actors in Hindi movies and Pakistani movies are also of Arabian descent such as Amir Khan. I could recite all of their names without stop and I know Urdu poems and songs. When Tabligh kids bring me to their lectures, I actually can understand what has been said by the preachers in Urdu without any translation but I just don't tell them I know what has been said. I just can't speak it because I never speak in the language. However, I am familiar with the sounds.  Urm I can speak it if I am forced too and might not be as fluent as when I was a little child.

The difference between peranakan people with native people, we are largely open to foreign atmosphere because of our foreign origin. We don't have to translate everything like in Thailand, Cambodia or Indonesia and that is why we see Malaysia is like today because it is also populated by peranakan people beside 19th century immigrants of British colonial times. British empire favors laissez-faire multiculturalism. People like us live in cities and urban areas disconnected from relatives. Some might move to villages if they encounter problem in cities but after that they will die early because they will experience pressure in the villages, hehehe. When I make friend with Aftab which was my neighbor and also Abdul Baqi from Pakistan, they actually speak to me in Urdu but my dad don't like me to mingle with Abdul Baqi because he does not like the Pashtuns. Only Abdul Baqi is good in Malay and speaks to me in Malay but I also didn't really mingle with that guy. I only played badminton with him. He thinks that he is good-looking and charming to the girls, hahaha. I just went to Friday prayers with them. I don't know why he does not like Pashtuns but its like their habit that Pashtuns being hated by other ethnics of sub-Indian continent. I look everyone as human-being. And yeah I am familiar with Hindu caste system because though we are Muslims we are also included into Hindu caste system as barbarians.

Synopsis

Now enough with the introduction. This movie is mainly about two characters just like other typical Hindi movies. One is Jay Dhingra played by Imran Khan. This guy is actually the nephew of Amir Khan. Another one is Simran played by Sonam Kapoor. Jay works in a Film company as an assistant director. He does not like his job because the producer or perhaps the director of the film love to produce romance movies like always in India. He feels the movies are typical and boring.

Jay met a girl at a cinema when he was ordered by his boss to watch some movies to get ideas on new romance films. He just forced to go there and he does not interested in all of those romance movies. The girl happened to be Simran who will be his future senior in the office. Both of this characters contrast each other. Jay hates love story and he believes not in love. He is also a playboy. In the beginning he talks with Simran, he thinks that Simran is not so interesting as she is obsessed with romance and love. Simran also thinks that Jay is too loud and bolt. Soon, they become best friends despite of differences.

Simran close bond with Jay brings problems in her love live with her dream fiance, Raj. She later feels that Raj is too perfect. He silently falls in love with Jay as his characteristic is quite cheerful and crazy. She tries to confess her feeling to Jay but after doing so, Jay explains that he never thought of Simran in that way. They are just friends. Simran was so heartbroken and she feels embarrassed of herself. She moves from Mumbai to New Zealand for further shooting of a film and its premiere. She does not tell Jay about her shifting. 

Sooner or later, Jay finds that Simran's absence in his life upsets him. He realizes that he has also fallen in love with Simran. The the song bin tere (without you) being played, hahaha. He goes to New Zealand and plans a romantic dinner asking Simran to meet him. He admits that he loves her but this time, he was rejected by Simran, hahahahaha. I laughed at this scene with my little sister when we watched this in Astro Hindi channel. Simran says that she does not want to hurt her fiance feeling after giving him another chance. Jay was brokenhearted and disappointed. He had lost Simran to Raj who he always think as pathetic, hehehe.

However, Jay's friends and his mum persuade him not to give up on Simran. Jay tries to make Simran jealous by paying Giselle (Bruna Abdullah) to act as his girlfriend. Then, he realizes that manipulating Simran feeling is only hurting her even more. In the same time, Raj proposes Simran and she accepts it. Later, she realizes that she does not love Raj. He tells him the truth. She goes to movie premiere hoping to see Jay there but Jay already trying to leave to United States as he has given up all hopes on Simran.

Raj was scolded by his mum at the airport. His mum says: "I gave birth to a son, not a girl to cry over girl like this! Go and get her if you are a man!!!" So, mum actually encourages him to return back to the cinema at the premiere. He meets Simran there. They both express their true feeling to each other. It is a happy ending unlike in Tamil (South Indian) movies, haha.    

About the Movie

I think it is only for me to relax. Some of the dialogue are actually quite dirty and talking about sex. I don't really feel or think anything misleading because I also talked about this with friends during undergraduate. My colleague and hostel mate also talk about masturbating when they take shower. Sorry girls, if you feel shy please dont read this part but it's already written, hahaha. This is just a fact. I also know what girls in girls hostel doing because they also talked to me. People would never ever expect that kids from Northern part of Kedah state are quite vulgar. I was born in Central Kedah and we usually speaking high-level and polite speech as compared to villagers who speak in vulgar languages. I love the part when they say: "Idhar udhar ki baate wagera wagera..." (walking here and there talking whatever... whatever) and also the song which sounds like koi humme pyaare karo koi jaane saare baate... ahaakkk... basically it means for the one that we love, we'll say/do anything to make him/her turn to you, lolllll.....

My colleague during undergraduate time also forced me to watch blue-porn videos a day before Ramadan. I guess when I was in my first year. I don't like it but they already locked the door and many people outside there after we chat among each other. I just stayed there praying in my heart for colleagues. After that I returned to my room and just praying repentance prayer service and not sleeping the whole night flipping myself with my belt. I also prayed for colleague. I didn't offend them because they are already grown up men around 20-21 years old. They also didn't fast. These are the people that I mingled with. I didn't mingle with Tabligh kids or Pusat Islam (Muslim brotherhood) students. These 'religious' kids also categorizing me as ungodly people and I am praying for these ungodly people and also for myself because nobody would ever try to approach them and I just accept them with open hands when they come to me because I know the feeling of being an outcast : ) 

What my little sister thinks? She only looks at the guy's face and dreaming, hahahahaha..... Girls.... I think people may watch this movie them selves. Just relax and find one with English translation. If no English translation, don't worry cause they also use a huge amount of English words, haha. This is one way on peranakan people entertaining themselves and the type of movies that they watch. Malay people also watch these because they mingle with us and marrying our people besides other North Indian ethnics of non-Arab origin also watch these. It's their culture, haha.

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 : )

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

Great Styles.... hahahaa

Assalaamu'alaikum wa Rahmatullah!!!

Recently I love to watch Telugu, well Tamil movies too though I don't understand Telugu except for smattering Hindi words in Telugu because some words are commonly used in Urdu, hahahaa.... 

After watching those movies at least I know few Tamil words and straight away using it with the maccha in the grocery... I had long tried to learn Tamil. But unfortunately I have no opportunity because of time constraint. That silly maccha tries to tackle little sister, hahaha. Last time little sister did gave her number to a Nepalese co-worker when she worked in a restaurant. It was quite scary when that guy keep calling her. Pandai sangat! Girls out there jaga-jaga dengan bhai dai ni semua, nanti dia sudah adik manis sama you orang, susah lah. Siapa susah? You punya abang lah have to save you from being disturbed.

Love your style Prabhas especially when you are in fighting scenes... The scenes in Varsham where you sprayed the gas on those goons with knives is quite awesome... hahaha....

Well also Arjun Sarja... Your movie is always about justice and righteousness. I love your movies. However, rarely see you in Telugu movies. You're always in Tamil movies and you're still cool.... hahaha. You look smart in your police suit who combats corruption, evil ministers, and goons. I admire you for your characters, sir.

  
I also think that your cool styles were undermined when both of you are in singing and dancing scenes. Doesn't suit you people well. I just don't know when Indian movies could cut or at least leave those craps of singing and erotic dancing with these cool heroes???? I know it is a culture there but come on, it's not like we don't have music videos for that. Just my personal opinion. It's not easy to change certain customs in a short period of time.

Urm, I guess I have to avoid watching too much Indian movies especially at the dancing and singing scenes because those nonsense ladies belly showing is not good for memorization of Quran. Fighting and violence is not good too, don't take them as example. Sometimes it might be fun to watch different kind of movies especially when the hero kicks the ass of villains and the villains fly up 50 km above the sky after the kick or maybe the feet of villains crippled and melting like being dipped down into acid once being clutched by heroes' mighty hand, LOL.... I love the sound when villains fall down on metal blocks, it's real... ktunckkkkk.....! Watching these movies is just to relax my messy mind. And those movies are free in the website, thanks to uploaders. You don't know how I appreciate your efforts, hehehehee.

These two guys are among my favorite Southern Indian heroes in movies. Oh yeah, I love watching Jamshed Chetirakat in Tamil and Malayalam movies too. Mostly Jamshed and Arjun will appear in Tamil movies. Prabhas only in Telugu maybe because he is comfortable with Telugu. I will certainly watch all of their movies without looking at the synopsis if I know that they are in scenes. I don't really know recent Hindi movie actors except for those veteran ones like Saif Ali Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Amir Khan, Sonali Bendre, Rani Mukherjee, and etc. Ok, recent ones are like Emran Hashemi, Imran Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Bruna Abdullah, etc. SRK and KKHH sucks... booo... I learn a lot about life from Tamil or Telugu movies. Also from their songs. 

Sometimes Southern Indian movies might be out of mind because these people are crazy but it reflects the facts in this life. This is not to condemn any Indian movies, I love watching them anyway. My history teacher Mr. Gopal also condemned Tamil movies in front of Indian students when I was in form 6 class. Luckily those students did not rioting in the class, hehehe.... They also conducted farewell party before we sat for our STPM (A-Level) and those students who are good in dancing performed Chandramukhi dance and other dances, I can say quite related to their religious activity if you are familiar with devadasis or bonnambalan hall at Semenyih Hindu temple, hehehe. Quite creepy because they imitate the movie without any adaptation or changing in the movements ...(shivering).... 

This is just a guide for me regarding how should I behave when I am in the public. I will be those heroes... lol. These heroes influencing people lives too. I think that I become more influenced by Indian and those in the western part of the world although I speak Chinese or Malay and writing in Chinese. Compared to when I was a kid. Maybe time is changing people preference too, because right now I don't go to school with Indians anymore but living in a Malay majority area. World has so many different things even though humanity is only one but wonder why we have to be racists???? 

May the God forgives our sins. Sealed with prayers for peace, love, and mercy, amin!

X-Men First Class

Assalaamu'alaikum wa Rahmatullah!

Peace be upon everyone! Just returned from theater cause I watched the X-Men First Class with lil sister. It's always nice to watch the movie early in the morning. No long ques, no sweat, no exhaustive waiting while looking at people's upset face because waiting for long only for a movie which could be seen in TV or DVD after the screening. 

Well, if it's about X-Men then it's about mutants from the Marvel comics. A main character in the movie is portrayed as a poor mutant Jew boy from Dusseldorf who was tortured by a Nazi doctor whose name is Schmidt something in order to get the boy to show off his power. The Jew boy later grown up as Erik (Michael Fassbender) who takes the name Magneto. Another main character is Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) from Britain, a mutant genetic professor candidate in Oxford and he is also a mutant, with telepathic ability. Charles Xavier became Professor X. 

The movie revolves around a mutant Nazi medical staff who survives the Second World War because he is different from normal human-kind. He is known as Dr. Schmidt Klaus and he wanted to gain power to rule over the world by making the US and the USSR both fighting among each other and releasing their nuke. So, he would get to absorb the power released by the nuclear bombs and being the ruler of the world. I am not a conspiracy theory fan so I don't really think that every symbols in the movie could be interpreted although I can do that because a character in the movie is a Jew. 

I don't believe in any Jewry superiority over other human-being nor eating up those made up craps by paranoid racist Caucasians that these people are powerful than the God. I keep with me Old Testaments and New Testaments that I bought myself when I was a form 6 student. I have acquaintances in both Israel and Palestine territory and at certain stage I talk with them through messengers or live if they are Palestinian friends. Jews are just human being descended from the sons of Adam. They are erroneous just like other human no matter what race we are. The setting took place in 1962 during Cuban Missile Crisis, the origin of the mutant groups, and the relationship between both Magneto and Professor X.       

I remember where I had talked about Nazism and Jews with my German teacher and friend whose name is Frau Myer because after Friday prayer I had a meeting with her regarding my problem with German which is a barbaric tongue for me, hahaha. I am not going to continue my German class next semester although I must finish it up to the second level to fulfill my certification requirement. It's a torture to my tongue and throat, lol. Just kidding, I had missed her classes many times due to some problems regarding my research and I couldn't show up my face to her anymore because I feel embarrassed of myself. 

I am sorry if my thought is slightly different from other fellow Muslims regarding the people of the books. I talked about Nazism, Hitler, Jews in Europe and Frau Myer frowned her face. She then said: "Why people always and must be talking about this evil thing that happened in the past? Hitler wasn't a German to begin with. He is an Austrian and yes, he speaks in German just like us in Germany but with southern dialect. He was just unhappy with his unfortunate life where the Jews are bunch of business people while Caucasians were lazy. When he went to apply for job, for sure those Jews do not tolerate him as they had stigmas on these people." This is somehow like what happens in our country and everywhere no?

What is the difference on this situation of the Jews in Continental Europe with South Asian Muslims in British Isle? British are also generalized by people like Malaysian ourselves as lazy people where jobless youths receive incentives from their welfare tax system. Immigrants from other part of the world went there in Britain and settling there later have to pay high tax to help those jobless British youngsters. I had read crime news about some Muslim Bangladeshis beaten up a religious education teacher in southern London. If we do not agree with someone, do we have to show violence? Unless if the situation is threatening us, then it would be fine to defend ourselves. Britain has so many private religious schools and even Muslim associations. Why do we have to be so jumud (narrow)?

She further said" "Whatever happened in the past does not reflect our agreement with those people. We are not them although we are Germans. When some Malay kids here looking at me and they know that I am a German, they would show the Nazi sign to me. I would say that I hate that sign and consider it as an insult to me." She is not a Jew but a native German, a Caucasian. And she is married to a Muslim from Penang. She is a Muslim and a muallaf could we say so although she had been a Muslim for more than 16 years? I talked to her about what I had listened in our Friday congregational prayer regarding Valentine day and I just can't understand why do these people have to talk like Jews or Israelites or Christians no matter where they are or what they are like they are some beasts or fallen angels? These people are just normal human and not angels. They are not special as all of the human-being are the same without any special power like what had been proposed in conspiracy theory or in American fantasy movies. A theory is just a framework and it could be wrong or right according to situation and period of time. It is not necessarily a dogma or a faith. This is what we learned in epistemology. If we want everyone to step into His salvation, enmity is not the way but amity and understanding is needed.

I read Israelite prophet stories like Goliath and Talut. I read about prophet of the children of Israel like David peace be upon him who defeated Goliath after Talut had forgotten his responsibility toward the path because of jealousy. This is not from Israeliyat source but from our Quranic tradition itself, surah al-Baqarah verse 246-252. We also know about Israeliyat sources by Ka'ab bin Munabbeh and other exegesis.

I don't think anything negative about these non-Muslims because I was once a disbeliever too who hate Muslims including myself though being born in a Muslim family. Faith is not an inheritance, it is through His guidance, revelation and His Will that we receive the faith. I only believe in whatever is right and wrong. Whatever is commanded by the Lord on every creatures. I don't believe in a paranoid conspiracy and it is a waste of time. When I look at the Jews or Christians, I am actually looking at them as a mirror to myself. 

Whatever wrong that those nations in the past had came through could also happen to us. We aren't special and so do they. When we claim that we are special nations, then we are no different to our accusations to those Jews. The God reminds us about that in glorious Quran, but not for us to hate them like they are some kind of satans or beasts. I just can't understand when the Lord says that Muhammad s.a.w is the sign of His Mercy in the Universe but many of us had turn it up to be the sign of His hatred toward other nations. 

We came out with the pride of Arabs, the Levantines, the Canaa'nites and whatever ideology founded on the basis of evil over the other who we would say thinking that they could tie "the hand" of the God. I had also experienced racist treatment from northern Arab brothers who think that they are Caucasians while I was in pilgrimage just like what had happened to Imam Hu Songshan although I don't look Chinese. Might be looking a little bit Mongol or Central Asian, haha. I could just generalize others and reforming my mind with worldly political ideology, but I am not that kind of person. 

Furthermore, the sin is on individual and it's not inherited or could be hanged on other person. Everyone is responsible for his sin and it is narrow. Whatever happens around us, is because of our own faults. We may choose to avoid minor destruction although the greater one is unavoidable because it is His Will. To avoid minor destruction is through our heart being purified from evil. Not only on our physical appearance. We have so many negativity about this world, I am not excluded from that. I hate this world too, and each time I would pray to God to take me home or please quickly destruct this Universe.

This movie somehow reflects myself. Some of the mutant like the Raven girl who can shift her appearance to other appearances trying to fit in into society because she is embarrassed of her look. I think that I am just like her. This happened due to long psychological process when mingling with people around and that makes us negative toward our selves. And how past experience also forming one self to be the self of this present like what happened to Erik.

Sealed with prayers for peace, mercy and love for brothers and sisters in faith, amin!
