Zina Booming

Looking at the current phenomena where zina (adultery) and booming of babies born-out-of-wedlock in Malaysia and around the world is just a proof of humiliating events that are happening.

The United States ,itself, agree that their out- of -wedlock births is at all time-high, for the counting of 4 out of 10 babies in 2005 (according to a news). What about now in 2010? What about Malaysia?

Frankly speaking, this is a phenomenon that is growing and should be looked seriously by everyone. Yes, EVERYONE . Perhaps we have not reached as much as the US but its worrying because the possibility is just around the corner.

According to a reliable source, in 2007, there were 79 reported cases of baby-dumping (this sounds pathetic) in Malaysia and 4 were reported as abortion. These were the reported cases and deep in me, I believe the number is bigger than this and its just that many are keeping it as a hush-hush news (not reported and silence).

I’ve been blog hopping and news hunting regarding this topic and one of the most depressing phrases used by many is “disposing of babies”. How more disturbed can I be?! We have disposable bags and now we have disposable babies. Wow! Let’s just throw the babies and let others do the cleaning!

Disposable baby: dump and let others pick.

So, how do we deal with the problem?

Ilmu..iman…amal… (macam motto sekolah plak..but hey, whats the use of having a motto yet we’re not using it? What a waste!)

But, yeah, those are my answers.

Strengthen the iman by seeking knowledge (‘ilm) and practice (amal) them.

I remember I read something about ‘ilm defined by a wise man in his writing. He said, “ilmu yang tidak bisa mendorong kita beristighfar bukanlah ilmu yang dikehendaki”. Agree!Knowledge which we gain and practice should be those which could make us closer to Allah, not those which create a gap between us and Al-Khaliq (the Creator, Allah).

Let’s pray that we’ll gain and increase our heart and mind with the right knowledge for the purpose of Allah. “O Allah! Make useful for me what you taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful for me.”

If only everybody practice the best of Islam.

Mahrams

Salam and Hi This would be my first entry for 2012. Alhamdulillah, manage to find a topic which intrigue me to write a post :P When Islam was revealed to the Prophet pbuh, many rejected the message brought by him. Islam came as a religion which guides everyone in all aspects of life, from worshiping God to the ways we sleep (the adab of sleeping). What makes it more interesting is that it teaches us about the relationship between men and women too. In Islam, there are boundaries between the men and women and as to set the line, the relationship falls into two categories which are: 1. Mahrams 2. Ghayr Mahrams There are various books and sites that could help us to understand further on this topic but here is a link that, InshaAllah, could enlighten us too.   CLICK HERE Other than that, below is a diagram in Malay language which is very helpful in making us to understand the relationship between men and women.

My name is Maryam...A'dilla

When I was in primary schools, back in the year 1993 to 1998, many of the friends used to tease my name. Rather than Maryam, they would call me MERIAM (which means cannonball in Bahasa Melayu). I was of course hurt by it. Not that I was fat like a cannonball or fiery, they just love to tease. Well, kids. But anyhow my ears were just too thick to listen to the calls that the annoyance faded with time. Once, I used to ask my parents, “Why did you guys named me Maryam?” and their reasons were very simple, “because your midwife was called Miriam”...”and Maryam is a name that is mentioned in the Quran”. How beautiful. I was named after the name stated in the Quran and also to reminisce the day I was borned, they named me after my midwife (perhaps they were over joyed to have a baby girl in the family). Alhamdulillah, I have a great name. Maryam is the name of the Prophet Isa’s mother. She was chosen by Allah to carry Isa in her womb without a husband or even getting married. This is an...

Why do I Write?

Assalamualaikum and Hi For years I've been thinking and looking for the answers and reasons to my question- Why do I write? Its not like I'm such a good writer or a brilliant person who has so many wise words and ideas to share. Its not that I have great language skills where I can show to the whole world and be proud of it. (Well, I do realize that many of my words are imprecise and most of the time not intriguing at all!) But why do I still write?... As I was browsing today, I've found an answer to my question . "to be able to talk with our real voice and for that voice to be heard. You write so that your voice can become bigger than just one person." ( The Confidence Guy ) To a certain extend, I agree.
