What is it like to be a Muslim Where You Live

[MuhammadRizan]

Jinn are Ghaib(unseen) creature, they can lie to human easily, it's better we're not befriend with them.

Some Jinn are capable to doing something unusual(with Allah permision), when human become dependant to them, it's a Syirk to Allah. Very dangerous games.

hi! i live in Sabah,in Borneo Island just another state in Malaysia, Muslim still the majority(quite slim!) then Christian and also Pagan.

Living here is just like other place in Malaysia, seeing Muslim doing unislamic thing in public.

I'm a Religious teacher and of course they called me Ustaz, as Ustaz here is pretty much being everything, i'm the Imam ,khatib also sometimes the muazzin, when somebody sick or died they will call me, recite du'a and everything.

but the most freakin' experience i think when handling people that had been possessed by Jinn, well you know with that almost Satanic Black Metal kind of voice, super strenght, and glaring eyes...

i still remember my first experience, i'm sooooo freakin' out and panicked, and this Jinn is so annoying too, he repeated everything i've recited, and he ask somethin like this "are you new?""are you scared?"'are you married yet?"..
it takes me almost 4 hour to cast him out...

Whoa.... you're the only Malaysian ustaz here..... cool!!!

I have some questions.... why there are so many Jinn possessions happened among the Malaysian Muslims? Are jinns love living in Malaysia or love possessing Malaysian Muslims? Personally, I've witnessed 5 times of people being possessed...

i'm wondering this too, i think it's because the population of Jinn is quite big in Malaysia, and i think Jinn in Malaysia is quite adapted to relate and commmunicate with human because of some old practice like black magic etc etc.

but i can see a very obvious pattern, Jinn likes possessed Muslima that dont have a habits perfoming prayer. some times it can be chaos because they can posessed people in mass.

There are other time i asked the Jinn why are they possessed people.
guess what! the answer is just like some rebellious teenager.

"Cool man, i'm just hangin' around".
"why are you nagging at me?"

some will tell that people send them, but most of the time they are just fooling around coz nothing else to do.:rollseyes

i think their nature is very the same with human.

And currently, the Malaysian entertainment world is so promoting the ghost stories etc. I think the only non-Ghost movie released this year is "Cicakman".

I've seen a Form 1 boy possessed when I was in secondary school (SMKA). He's so small, but it took like 6 people to carry him down from hostel (level 3) to the school's musolla.

"Mass Hysteria" happened at my younger sister's school (also SMKA) somewhere in 2000. It involved about 50 girls from 3 classes... it was chaotic. Those girls were crying, shouting, taking off their hijabs, smashing chairs.... the ustazs and ustazahs were running here and there helping those girls by reciting koranic verses. My sister's friend (among those who are possessed) told her that she saw a nun flying on the ceiling, trying to catch her... :exhausted

Hahahahahahahahah!!!! I love that answer.....

Huh? Maybe they should possess those Mat Rempits, so those monkeys can stay at home...not being crazy on the roads... hate them...:raging: How about Sabah..... are there any Mat Rempits there?

quite rare...but it can happen..

yeah..you see there are 2 kind of possession, directly and indirectly, but the most freakin' horror kind of possession is indirectly when the Jinn is in front of you and doing nasty freakin' horror 'trick':exhausted and only u can see him or several other people...some people lost control then Walla! Mass Hysteria.

Huh? Maybe they should possess those Mat Rempits, so those monkeys can stay at home...not being crazy on the roads... hate them... How about Sabah..... are there any Mat Rempits there?

i dont think so bcoz they all are just in the same species
there are no Mat Rempit here..well you know Sabah...our economy a bit slower than other state(government hates and neglected us)...in kampung(village area) most people cannot afford even a motobike.

i wonder? how about in the other part of the world, are Jinn there behave themself?

I wonder if "Exorcist" is a true story.... if it's true....so the jinns are just the same with Malaysian ones....

 

[sevgi]

asalaamalakum

i live in essex a very racist area i would say. Alot of people here have misconceptions about islam and think islam is a bad religion because of terriorst attacks in london. I sometimes get treated differently because of my colour and religion, alot of racism. Its really hard to be a musilm were i live because the environment in school outside school is very bad its sometimes 'tempting'. Because i hear people talking about and doing 'this and that' i try really hard to stay away from bad stuff. but its really difficult. When im fasting in ramadan alot of people ask me questions regarding fasting and allah. The questions i get asked are so dumb.

thats my life story lol

 

[snakelegs]

in the world affairs section we learned what it is like to be a muslim in scotland since the recent incident - one day they felt safe and then, overnight, they are targets for hate.

Asalaama alaykum, hope you are in good health and faith ameen..Alhamdulilah, I am. Regarding your question, I currently reside in the beautiful country of Canada and the beacon of urbanism (if that makes any sense, lol :-[ ) Toronto. We are known for our multiculturalism, and infact named one of the most multicultural cities in the world. Everyone is very accepting of who I am, and my school always makes sure to help me abide by the rules and regulations of my religion. We have a prayer room and we are never marked absent or late in school attendance records during Fridays, pork is made sure to be seperate from the rest of the meats, we are informed if meat is made halal, etc. My school is more than 70% Muslim, and during our Friday prayers there is always an Imaam present to do lectures and students take turns leading the prayer. I am so disheartened by the amount of girls who actually attend the prayers, 0-7 depending on the day. But I am very grateful to live in such an accepting and wonderful community. Non-Muslims even go out of their to say ''Salaam!" to me when riding the bus and making my way home.
:statisfie
Hope that was thorough enough for you, lol.

W/Salaam.

70% Muslims, is it a public school? Wow...

Many Muslims saying good thing about Canadians... I think it should be declared a Muslim-Friendly country then...

Asalaama Alaykum brother, hope you are in good health as well as your family. ameen. Alhamdulilah, I am. To answer your question, my school is a public school and Canada is a very tolerant and multicultural country especially compared to our neighbours down south. I would be called a Canadian as much as the white guy next to me and if you ask a Canadian what heritage they are, they will answer it..whereas if you ask an American, they will tell you they are American. I remember visiting the States last summer and I couldn't wait until I came back to my Canadian people..Americans are so rude, and all they care is about themselves, whereas Canadians are very nice people and they are the ones who tend to be interested in Islam. Canada is a very Muslim-friendly country, but ever since Stephen Harper got elected he's been taking our title away. We even have a No-Fly list now. Can you believe it?

My school is more than 80% ethnically mixed with different cultures and background, we even have Eid parties. It all depends on the people and how you've grown up, I'm used to it but when I see how Muslims are treated in Europe it makes me more greatful of where I live, alhamdulilah.

W/Salaam.

I'm from Orlando Florida. Alot of the Muslims here from the sub-continent i.e India/Pakistan are professionals mostly doctors. People aren't really educated about Muslims and quite frankly could care less. It is the sunshine state so almost every girl out there has an excuse for clothing on muslim/non muslim so its really hard to not look. Halal food in just this area of Florida is much better thanks to the concern of the local population. The guys are into cars, the men into houses, the women into throwing events/parties, the girls in trying to have the best outfit at the event/party. That's Orlando!

Wow..... I start to love Canada already....:thumbs_up. There are lots of agencies selling real property in Canada especially Vancouver here.

But almost all of those interested in buying property in Canada are Malaysian Chinese... Malaysian Muslims prefer Australia, UK and Mid East (especially Saudi and Kuwait)

 

[E'jaazi]

I'm in the USA. It is both easy and hard. Easy because we are able to practice deen with very little trouble. Hard because there is so much fitnah here. The USA is a place where nearly anything goes.

 

[dilkadr]

USA is place where practicing Islam will really beneficial due to the presence of Fitnas

 

[Woodrow]

USA is place where practicing Islam will really beneficial due to the presence of Fitnas

The USA is large and very diverse. Yes, there are places where fitnah is rampant, but there are places that are as free from fitnah as most Muslim cities.

A trip through Amish or Quaker communities will show that. Most forbid electricity, automobiles, drugs or alcohol including coffee and tea as they have caffeine, photographs, music, colorful clothing and require modest dress. Also the mixing of genders in public is forbidden.


Plus much of what we are stereotyped as, is illegal and does not take place in most of the USA. For example here in Texas Public drinking and even public display of alcoholic beverages is illegal in most communities. Many Texas counties outlaw the sale of alcohol. But, the movies seem to always show cowboys with a bottle of beer in one hand. The laws against Public intoxication are strongly enforced and being drunk will get a person thrown in jail.

 

[ISLAMASWEENEY]

Yes but most of the Muslims in Germany are of Turkish or Iranian origin and East Germany used to be communist.

 

[ISLAMASWEENEY]

Usa has a lot of Muslims because it is a big country so there is more people there
