The society nowadays has no more respect for their own religion. Even celebrities - who should've set good examples as they're the idols of the young generations - do not feel guilty in making fun of the Islamic law.

Many controversial statements has again and again been uttered by these people. For once, there was this lady artist who was called to present an award for the best nasyid artist during one of the events. She walked in clad in a sexy black dress. A set of black gloves was seen dangling from her hands. A while later, her announcing partner asked her what's the glove for and with a witty look on her face, she answered "Kan nak bagi award untuk artis nasyid, kena la pakai sarung tangan in case nak kena salam". At that moment, my friends and I were like - What the heck!! Berani cakap macam tu, takdak respect langsung towards the religion!

Another Muslimah artist - who also likes to dress sexily - when asked on why does she prefer to hang out with young boys when she herself is of the golden age , answered in the most outrageous manner - "Masa Nabi Muhammad s.a.w nak kawin dengan Saidatina Khadijah dulu umo Nabi brapa & umo Siti Khadijah brape?"

When the audience answered 25 for The Prophet & 44 for Siti Khadijah, without any hesitation she blurted out :"Haaa.. tak ke dah nak mampos tu?" (referring to Siti Khadijah's age).

As a Muslim, I find it very heartbreaking to hear a fellow Muslim downgrading someone who's dear to our Prophet. I once heard a Muslim girl telling her girlfriend that she HAD to spend the Maal Hijrah night with her in-law to-be, semayang maghrib & Isyak berjemaah. Her girlfriend replied " Gosh! If I had to do the same thing, I'd surely mati masa sujud!". I was so shocked to hear such things coming from a fellow Muslim mouth that my jaw went slacked and I gaped at her for quite a long time.

*Sigh*If this kind of thing goes on, then there's no surprise that our generation of Muslims are going down.

On a different story, I have to say that I hate the way things are going in this new place. Before this, I'd say that I was at peace with the community because I hadn't been exposed to their real characters.

Today, I've discovered that greed is such a powerful monster that it could overwhelm even the best of human. I was thinking to myself this morning, why is it that praying five times a day doesn’t lessen the greed residing in a man’s heart. For example; why would they pray but at the same time they wouldn’t hesitate to take bribe or using gover**ent money for their own benefit.

Diberikannya nikmat dan dihilangkan kepada mereka ertikesyukuran.Beransur-ansur sedang dia tidak tahu.

I guess praying five times a day does not necessarily make u a good person. Only praying with total devotion could purify your heart. Like my grandma used to say “Semayang tunggang terbalik, tapi buat jahat jugak”.

I have great fear that I'd get influenced with this set of behaviour. I pray that God will put enormous feeling of hatred in my heart for this kind of thing.
