The title for this blog has been a source of unsureness thus far. So I've changed “Urban Malaya” to “Urban Muslim”. I'm not really sure why I did that. And probably by the time I'm finished with this post it's going to be changed again to “Urban Mukmin”.
Before being a Malaysian, I'm a Malay, and before those two, I'm a Muslim first and foremost. With a lot of the crazy things going around between America and it's fight against the so called “axis of evil” and “terrorism”, being know as a Muslim is no longer a source of pride for all, but a source of shame for some. I have been guilty of this sin in that at times when my office colleagues debate or complain about there understanding of Islams strict guidelines I have taken the easy route and kept my mouth shut. Ashamed I am and hope God will forgive me for my silence.
I'm far from being a good Muslim, for there is a lot I do not practice fully when it comes to my religion. I'm not trying to be or sound self righteous. It's just what's been on my mind.
In the future you'll probably read more of my thoughts on world event's. And Insyaallah ( God willing ) I'll have the balls to give my opinion not just as a 25 year old Malaysian. But more importantly as a 25 year old Muslim.
