This note is written on my American Facebook friend's comment box. I just want to file the thoughts I wrote
there, maybe it will be useful someday.. His FB status was
actually about a person who gives negative comment on his posts and
opinion about Gaza crisis. This person throwing his mind on how awful he saw
the muslim world these days. The opinion is simply judging the world I
live in.. So I have the need to speak up and write my mind on this matter..
I'd like to believe there's no more pure war, anywhere on earth at the very moment
which is there for a very good reason. War is a big business, and too
bad, after the cold war over... We (the muslim world), just become the
next target to be set as the enemy. That propaganda (which he believed)
make Islam sounds so awful. He even talk about the violence on women
right in The Islam world.
I could only say.. Hey..!!! That's not
Islam.. Not the Islam I believe...
I am a muslim woman, who believe that Islamic Value is fair and
beautiful to embrace. We don't fight on equality level with men for a
reason...
Please don't get mixed up between muslims, Mid East/AsianTraditional Custom and Islamic Value...
According to Islamic value, women are supported by at least 10 men in
our lives, if somehow we fail to support ourselves... As Mothers, we
have privilege to be respected 3 times before The Fathers... At this
rate, actually our men should make sure we live smiling, before they can
sleep at night... Because in our hands we build a generation and a
society who live in harmony... Mother and Women are the source of
love... The houses with happy woman live in describe as "Baity Jannaty"
- My home, My Heaven. So, our men should be the one who make sure the
house is clean and the cloth are folded in the cupboard. As they make
sure we have food in our table. The Best Men in Islam are those who
Love their women the most... Too bad not so many familiar with the real
Islamic value... Including Our own Men...
I have many western friends. I respect them and
learn many things from them. Humanity and religions should always be
in harmony. If it doesn't, so the error part is not the software (as I see religion is one of the most bugged software in humanity),
but mostly the hardware. On the other part, this world war maker will
do any propaganda needed to keep the existence of war all over the
planet, because the war is their business. Some people make money from
war. Some people use war to gain power..
I believe, none of the nations get any profit who ever win any war in
this planet, anymore. Will American people live better life if Hamas
surrender in Gaza, or they will live worse if the Zionist pulls the
troop out of Gaza..??? But making muslim look ugly and angry enough to say
then do extreme things in the name of jihad is the easiest way to
sustain war.. I think at this point I should say I miss Uni Soviet and
cold war..
As for oppressing women's right, it is definitely not an Islamic
Value. Many verse in Holy Quran about women are basically made to
protect women. But it is got twisted in the world's understanding, and
worse it got mixed up with traditional custom in Mid East/Asian
countries that put women behind men. Like before Islam come The Arabian
men had the heart to bury their baby daughters alive just to hide the
shame having girl again as a child. Islamic value does preserves women
right in the balance way. How would the world understand more about
Islamic Value, if now a day not many muslim care enough to learn the
basic understanding in the balance and harmony way by upgrading their
knowledge, as The Prophet's saying, "learn from the cradle to the
grave.." Improving knowledge is a must till the death do us apart form
the life...
Personally, I see equality is not always the fairest way to solve the
gender gap. More than equality we need proportional responsibility
share in life. Especially to refrain harmony. Masculine and feminine
power are created to support each other, not to trespass one another..
Not to compete or to race in life achievement.. But to keep the
balance.. So we live in powerful circle of life the best habitat to
create better generation for brighter future..
It is still going on the way dream.. Loads of things need to be done
in our land to make women and mothers living a happy life.. But this
is the reason life worth living for me.. I promise to dedicate my life
struggling in the battle to fight stupidity, poverty and ignorance.. I'm
doing it by spreading awareness on the things that important for me on
the best education process.. The need to share love and understanding..
And the ability to make priority scale in putting first things first
and do what has to be done base on urge and need in life as human...
That's why I follow Bernhard's Blog (http://veilofreality.com/)... I like the way He wrote about
the fading of humanity on this planet and how he tried to build
awareness about many things in human life. Money and power suck humanity
from our lives to sustain certain people empire..
And what do we do, blame each other...?? So that we definitely
become part of the world's problem. Or become the agent of change and
see ourselves as part of the solution..
Start by making our own life a better place to live on for the one
inside us and for the people to live around us.. Please.. We do need to
consider using our energy to support something better.. That at least
giving our children hope on the existence of better tomorrow in this
planet.. I listen to the song When The Children Cry by White Lion since
teenage, and I do believe it.. Now I have 4 kids of my own and I do
have the faith we still have hope on brighter future..
I owe that much to my children and theirs, as also to yours..
