Waiting for the future

Its been long since I left my previous routine: MRT, walk, podium, asmaulhusna, lessons with the dudes, prayers together, dua at the end of the day, canteen A, home. Now, it wont repeat again.As I was walking to school today, I just realised that I am now in a JC, a place that seemed like a huge deal to me long ago, but now... I hope that it will end sooner than yesterday. Im waiting for the future :D GP lecture was on racism. During the lecture, Arif and I discussed about some issues on Islam being discriminated in certain places, as said in the lecture. It all relate to the 9/11 and the story goes on. I learned a lot. From bans on minarets of mosques in Switzerland to Female Ninjas (if you know what I mean). This led me and Arif to issue on hijab in schools in Singapore. Arif said something about hijab and turban for sikhs are both obligations of religion and why only turbans are allowed. Thats when we agreed on a conclusion that is: Hijab is not allowed in secular schools because the public dont see this as an obligation. Why? Easy. Because majority of the Malay Muslimahs do not wear hijab in public. So people may say "she dont wear so you can also not wear." Similar to what I face "why other malay guys are okay with touching girls and you're not?" OH C'MON... I pray that these things/situations will make me a stronger person and a more taqwa-ed Muslim. InsyaAllah. |
