Daurah opening - Day 1

it was held at World Assembly Muslim Youth Centre (WAMY) at seri kembangan. as i was late for few hours, i only had the chance to attend the 2nd slot given by Dr Tengku Shahrom. he'd made me realized how fortunate i am to be chosen by Him. out of hundreds of thousands of youths out there, i am chosen to understand instead of just following islam. i am a muslim by choice by the age of 19.

"..This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion..." (5:3)

we were also exposed to the reality in the society now, especially in Malaysia. crimes and other social immoralities are increasing at a speeding rate.


although various methods and laws have been implemented, the situation is not improving at all. so what is actually the core problem behind this? it's their soul. they do not know what their lives are really for. they feel empty inside.

أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَهِيمَ وِأَصْحَـبِ مَدْيَنَ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَـتِ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

"Has not the story reached them of those before them -- The people of Nuh,`Ad, Thamud, the people of Ibrahim, the dwellers of Madyan and the overturned cities; to them came their Messengers with clear proofs. So it was not Allah Who wronged them, but they used to wrong themselves" (9:70)

having said that, we cant simply turn away from them. it is the responsibility on the shoulder of every person who claim himself a muslim.

وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَـتِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَوةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَوةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُوْلَـئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

"the believers, men and women, are supporters of one another; they enjoin good, and forbid evil; they perform the Salah, and give the Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have His mercy on them. Surely, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise" (9:71)
