Anti-Maraboutism in West Africa

May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

[Here's another paper dug from the dredges of the past. I wrote this two years ago so it might appear rather amateurish. But enjoy...]
Sufism came to West Africa through decentralized individual devotees but has ever since evolved into major social movements. The earliest Sufis in West Africa can be traced back to scholars of Timbuktu, [...]

Muslim Identity in the Modern World: A Search For Transcendence

April 30th, 2008 · 6 Comments

[This is a class paper on modernity I wrote a while ago. Please offer your critique.]
The issue of Muslim identity in the modern world centers on the question of how Muslims relate to other peoples, their religions and the resulting civilizations. The context in which this issue of identity arises is the dominance of Western [...]

A very important message to all

April 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Salam
I found a very interesting video that offers another point of view which I think very essential in understanding the shape of the world. It might not be 100% true but it has some elements that can spark some thinking and further research on this matter. I myself have ordered books from a well known [...]

WHY HIJAB?

April 13th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Salam.
I’ve always felt that I should say something for this post from our esteemed Taufik, but so far hadn’t found the right contents to deliver. Alhamdulillah, I guess watching a video and later discussing it with another friend has provided me with enough inspiration to write here. To save me from constantly making reminders in [...]

Just what is happiness?

April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

“But then I must remind myself we are living creatures - we have religious impulses - we must - and yet into what cracks do these impulses flow in a world without religion? It is something I think about every day. Sometimes I think it is the only thing I should be thinking about” Douglas [...]

For Whom Are We Living?

April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Assalamualaikum.

I read a particular ‘revelatory’ confessional piece from a genius-turned-callgirl. Among the parts that caught my attention was the part about her buying an expensive Gucci dress and handbag (expensive might not be the word, humongously extravagant could fit better). She was very happy about that, and bragged at length about how much she can [...]

The Problem is not with Resources, but with Justice

March 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Assalamualaikum.
“Let’s dash the final 100 metres to Jannah.”
The words kept ringing in my head, long after they were uttered.
Yesterday, I travelled for almost two hours in a train from Manchester to Nottingham, and back again by bus which took almost five hours including transit time, just for a three-hour session with Dr Amaluddin Ahmad organized [...]

Talking about local politics

January 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment

I generally avoid discussing local politics as it really doesn’t interest me. I skip reading local news altogether apart from occasional glances at the MKini RSS feeds on the right column. There is seriously nothing to take from in terms of debates on public policy apart from silly banter over race and religion.
But, as rumor [...]

Aku Hanya Mahu Makan Nasi

January 21st, 2008 · 13 Comments

mereka laung reformasi
pekik-pekikkan revolusi
jalan-jalan raya macet pekat

menyekat orang banyak berarak

aku garu-garu dahi, aku tidak mengerti
aku hanya mahu makan nasi.
 
mereka jerit inflasi
teriak-teriakkan subsidi
tol di lebuh dan lintang
minyak untuk skuter dan motokar
aku usap-usap basikal tua
dan selipar jepun yang lusuh tapaknya
aku hanya mahu beras dan gula
yang tidak pernah-pernah turun harga. 
 
mereka lalak korupsi
tempik-tempikkan hipokrasi
mahu cuci kotak undi
mahu celup hujung [...]
