Intellectual Intercourse

Some haven't even get there, in terms of realizing, when you'd know your body is lain for the sakes of obligations or responsibility or routine.. yet your mind is elsewhere.

Everyone, even those who's been married or in a relationship for perhaps more than 10 years yearn for those levitating, core-shaking make-out, where you could still see into each other's eyes, where you'd still take each other's breath in and still have pillow talk before we unconsciously doze-off.

Yeap, it's not easy to have both body and soul while you're at it all the time. Sometimes it doesn't take the relationship to age that long to make your mind wander somewhere else, it's probably money, or health that could just put us out of focus sometimes.

Now that I got your attention, I'll continue my entry about the uncool subject.

I've been so disturbed by the recent updates on Muslim Extremists and Alternative. Yes, namely Ayah Pin and the recent shock about the self proclaimed Rasul (Muslim's latest Prophet) who was born in Hulu Kelang. His name is Kahar. Kahar being the Extremist, Ayah Pin being the Alternative.

I will just discuss Kahar this time, the person who resorted to resign from being a (self proclaimed) Prophet after being arrested and prosecuted before the Syariah Court. He is already in his 50's, he should've employed a Communication Manager to spread his installation, or he should just consider himself a Hulu Kelang Community Prophet instead.


A part of what he claimed are wrong about the 5 tenets for Muslims are :

1. That we shouldn't perform any (5x daily) prayers at all. We shouldn't we get ourselves ridiculed by bowing and bending and talk to ourselves and behave similar to the looneys.
2. That performing Haj is the Arab's conspiracy to make huge profits.

Most Islamic Extremist and Alternatives in Malaysia have what's mentioned in No. 1 as a common pull factor.

This is where my point will relate to intellectual intercourse tickler above.

God is (not should or must) the mightiest being, the one that was there before the universe existed, the one that created us, yet the being that most of us take for granted; to only turn to Him in time of needs, pain, sadness.

In our 5 tenets of being a Muslim, God mentioned that four of them are what we need to do for ourselves, not for Him. He asked but for only one, fast for Him. Even that, He had made it easy for us, by getting all the satans chained for the whole of the holy month of Ramadhan.

Why is prayers, for example, He said, is for us? Whatever good we say to ourselves will turn out to be good to our souls, it is that simple, if you want to understand it in scientific manner, read here.

But then again, why do we have to do it (pray) in such a manner? The intellectual intercourse explanation is my metaphor. We devote our body and soul even to someone who did not create us, even to nothingness when we dance, we move our body and let ourselves lose.

We'd weep in silence if we sense our other half makes love to us yet have his mind on another woman or perhaps trying not to face your wrinkles too closely. We submit to him that lowly, but not vice versa.

We'd have doubts if there's any connection with our dance partner if eye contact cannot be achieved.

Shouldn't devotion to God who creates us be done is the most worshipping manner? Which is why, if you hadn't noticed, we moved ALL our body parts while we pray, INCLUDING our mouth when we utter our prayers. If we'd flip over a brash love making, what is it like towards God, the One that made most of us have two hands, two feet, eyes to see all the beauty he has provided to everyone regardless of differences of religion, if we pray to Him when our mind isn't even there and our body refuse to even move to symbolise submission?

If we don't agree to bow down to the Sultan, I would still understand lah, but, who would not even respect the 'adat' (ritual)?

It's funny when we sometimes wish for our wellbeing in our hearts while we're driving for instance but we refuse or just to too busy to commit to our basic 5x a day prayers. Our Creator is also suddenly the slave who takes wishes like Santa ke?

We'll be surprised, once we understand the hierarchy of importance of superiority, how it will change the way we serve and respect or instruct and reign certain people or principles in our lives.

My conclusion to this matter is, it is true that in our country, Islam is equated to the Malays as how we live reflects our basic belief. We are the race that always want to take and make things easy yet wants to have everything. No wonder the extremist and alternative Muslims that simplifies become so compelling to be followed, especially towards the uneducated.

Note to self: Never settle for shortcuts, work hard, live enthusiastically.
