Ungu's Song entitled Sholawat

Last night my friend came to my room. The fisrt person who came it was Abu Bakr from Tajikistan, and later on one by one they started to come. Muhammad Mansour, Faisal, Fahem, Mansur, Radfan (Yaman, their native language is arabic), Ibrahim (Palestina), dan Timor (Uzbekistan).

When they came my laptop was on and Fahem wanted to know what is in my Laptop. He asked me to show is there anything about Islam. I showed him anythings about Islam.
  1. I have Al-Qur'an with translation in Indonesian Language
  2. I have Al-Qur'an read by Al Muqarram As sudais and As suraim, both of them are Imam in Masjidil Haram. MP3 Format. The first time I played surah Al Hadiid (my favorite) and I read it. Fahem asked me, "who is reading that Qur'an". I replied "As Sudais, imam in Masjidil Haram". "Beside As Sudais?" . I replied "As Suraim, he is Imam in Masjidil Haram also". And then Fahem said to me "OK, now please play surah Yusuf, this is the story about Yusuf". "OK, what number, ehhmmm... let me search... yes this one surah number 12". After that we started to hear surah Yusuf, this surah is read by As Suraim. Fahem start to ask me about the meaning of any word in Qur'an, fortunately I could guess what is the meaning by translating from Indonesian Language into English, I had to guess which one of that word is in that ayah. "OK2, Good", he said. And then I played my second favorite surah Al-Waqiah. I read it together with As Sudais only 3 ayahs.
  3. I have a song about Islam. And I started to play it. Fahem begun to listen to it carefully. He said, "No, this is about love". I started to laugh, because I don't know whether it is about Islam or not, hahaha, the main thing that I know, the song is written in Arabic. And he said "another song". I started to search again, and I found MP3 file with the name of the file written in Arabic, again he said "No, this is a love song". Suddenly i found a directory named Istighfar, "Yes this is it" I said inward and I open the directory, I found a song entitled Tombo Ati etc (by Opick), all of them are in Indonesian Language. I knew that the song is Indonesian Language. After that I found A song sang by Ungu entitled Sholawat. (Nowadays so many artist in Indonesia race to make relegious song especially in Ramadhan, one of them is Ungu, the album called "Album Relegi"). Yes this song "Sholawat" all in arabic language sang by Ungu. I started to play it. Thirty minutes past and Fahem started to ask me, (a wondering question) " What language is this, is it in English". "Hahahha" i laugh inward. I told him this is Arabic, and I started to sing together with Ungu, than he said, "ye ye ye, but his pronounciation is very bad, you are better than him" Oh my God, very popular song in My Country (Indonesia) with means nothing because of bad pronounciation.
  4. I showed him my e-books about Islam, but all of them written in Indonesian Language
  5. I forg0t to show him about picture of Islam and miracle of Islam. I will do it later
That is why I never want to be their imam in sholat, but the ma'mum are not arabian people. The key is pronounciation in arabic.
