The Independence

We used to hear in the television saying that “Malaysia is an independent country, thus as Malaysian, we should appreciate it, the peaceful and harmony in our country”.

Indeed, we should thankful to God for having such situation here.

However, looking into the society was it really we are having peace and harmony life? Was it really that we are independence from all the imperialism?

The colonists that who took over Malaysia has gone so long ago, but yet they still chained us with something that hard to broken until today. Bounded into the education system, economy, financial and even culture, Muslim has been a step behind of all these. It seems like all the system has been  blended in such way it took Muslim far away from the actual teaching that been prescribed in the Book.

Chained in the temporarily fantasy, bonded with lust, appealing with mankind honoured, faded future, the situation changes has been jeopardising the value of Islam and the faith to the One God.

So where is the independence, when some of Muslim youth had been living in rehabilitation centre for having drugs and attitude problem. Would they able to shout for their independence when the abortion and illegal child statistic keep increasing?

This is not just an expression but it hopes could be a reminder especially for me to strengthen myself with knowledge and faith foundation and hope that one day I would be able to  persuade myself and others to the goodness and prevent the evil things, amal makruf nahi mungkar.

It hope that this thought would remind me the true meaning of independence in terms of Islam as well as faith.

We are independent soul if we are able to change the mind thinking, feeling and attitude from what we used to be to the blissful way of Islam. From the non-directive system and culture to the way as prescribed by Quran, not just easily affected by the changes of current trend.

Indeed, we are not just an independent country, but most important thing, we are independent soul, inside out, sticking to the rules and regulation, govern by the Law of God.

Happy Independence Day, Malaysia. I am proud to be Malaysian.
