Is God Exist (1)

Last night, when I was sitting in the balcony next to my room, Niraj (Indian) came to me, and he asked me "What happen to the room, you usually do namaz (sholat)?". I answered "O, yes, the owner of the room now he is using his room, so we can't do sholat over there anymore, so we do it in the balcony next to Mustafa's room on the day and in the roof on the night". "That's I saw you did it in that places. Is it compulsory to do sholat together? Can we do it alone?". Oh God, he is interested to what we are doing (sholat), I'm very happy because what we did as a dakwah works.

"We can do sholat alone, but if we do it together with others, we got more good value. According to my religion (Islam) after death there will be a judgment from our God. If the bad things is more than the good things than we will be punished in the hell. The punishment is very bad, you will be burned, and if your skin is destroyed and God will give you a new skin to be burned again and again. It is very bad punishment from our God. But don't forget that our God is also full of mercy and love. The prove that He is full of love is you. Look at you, you are not Moslem but you are happy now, you can do your education until now PhD. Excuse me, what is your religion?". He answered "Actually I'm not belong to any religion". Oh God this is interesting, he had the way of thinking about life completely different with me. I wanted to know more how is the way he think.

"Do you ever think about where we will go after death?". He answered "Yes it is simple, if we dead than we go nowhere. Just like this building, if this building is destroyed by someone/something, so the existence of the building is finish. That is it. You see that vehicle, if some one destroy that vehicle, where is the vehicle go? No where, it just stop the existence of the vehicle". "Do you think that we are just like that vehicle, what do you mean by the death than?" I asked. "Well, death means our body stop working, our heart stop pumping the blood to every where in the body". I asked "How about soul than". He answered, "There is no soul, what is a soul?. We have a brain here, to think. thats it.

Agnes Monica and Ratu (Maia Ahmad and Mulan Kwok)

Yesterday I met Anis in the stairs of my Hostel (International Student Hostel) on the way I went to Koti to by the book. Grid Computing Book. He asked me, "assalamu'alaikum, kaifa haluka". I answered "Wa'alaikum salam, Ana bi khoir, Alhamdulillah". I shaked his hand and hug him. and he told me "No, not like this. If u meet me (Yamani), you have to do like this". He told me how to greet some one in Yaman.

The first time you have to shake his hand and than hug him and stick my right chick to his right chick, and say "muah", and then the turn for left chick to left chick, of course with "muah" twice. After that he said, yes yo got it. OK again we try it. Oh, god, i tried it three times. Yes that is, he said. If you meet me you have to do like this, OK. I said OK.

He went to Mustafa's (Suriah) room, and then come back directly because Mustafa was not in his room, and he yelled at me, Hi Rusydi, do you have, Acrobat Reader, because I want to download it. Oh God what did he mean by download, later on I know that what he meant is copy it from my laptop.

I gave him what he wanted and he asked me about dictionary, he wanted English-English dictionary, I said yes I have one longman English-English dictionary. This dictionary name is Stardict, first you have to instal the program (the reader of the dictionary) and than you extract the dictionary and put it in the C:\\Program Files\Stardict\dic OK. He said, OK. If you want to download from internet you can do it, for example Webster, English-Arabic, Arabic Englis, etc. He said no, I want only English-English Dictionary. I told him, with this dictionary if you are reading ebook, than if there is a word that you don't know, you can point the cursor on the word and the meaning will come automatically. No, I don't want, he said. I already know about all of these words. All I want is to type the word and the meaning is coming. Yes you can do it. OK

Then he asked me about Indonesian song, I played one song in Indonesian Language, and then he said no no no, I want a song with video. OK, I choose from my collection. Actually my collection is only one TTM (Teman Tapi Mesra) from Ratu (Maia Ahmad and Mulan Kwok), why? because this song is very pupuler in Idonesia, even they used the word TTM for their daily language. Everyone who wanted to see about clips in Indonesia Language, I showed them this clips. What is teir comment?
"This is American". Yes directly I answered, my country is too much affected by US. See this clip, there is no difference with american's video clip. No, I don't want this clip. I know the reason because of the clothes they wore. It is not Islamic at all.

OK I'll show you another clips. As you now that recently I downloaded clip from You Tube. All abot Agnes Monica. I have 5 clips of Agnes Monica, and I chose one of them entitled Tanpa Kekasih. And again he said no no no. I don't want clips with kissing, hugging, etc. Because I want to watch it with my family. Oh my God, it is difficult to find. Almost every clip will be like that. Even original Indonesia music (dangdut) is even worst. Oh God, Indonesian music has no identity, they are too much like American.

My friend from Tajikistan they played/heard their own song, it is also happened with Vietnamese, Yamanese, Irani, Iraqi. So when I played American song : Britney Spears "Ops I did it again", one Irani said to the others, see Rusydi hasn't his own song, he is listening to American song.

Oh, God. How about our nationalism then.

I said to him, ok later I'll give you, the clip that you want later. I remembered about kid singer, sherina and relegious album like Opick with Istighfar, but I don't have it. OK I'll search for him later.

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.
