When You Read, You Better Understand It Y'know??

I've seen a lot of people throughout my life. By a lot I mean hell yeah, uncountable y'know?

Eventually, there're so many things that I couldn't comprehend, too.

as usual i'm not gonna be a gay/girl by writing a long blog so let's get to it shall we?

it's about the Holy Book. As Muslims, our Book is Quran, the book of guidance.

as for other religions, I'm sure you have your own Holy Books right?

Oh wait, who am I to write about the Holy Book? I'm gonna write about the people who read It.

I can see some of my friends like to read the Quran whenever they have the time.

That's a good thing? Yeah, I know.

But you see, the sad thing is "Sie verstehen nur Bahnhof!"

what's the point of reading when you've no clue at all?

It's rude and it's a pain to think that it's different when we read an academic book for the exam.

we read, read and read until we get what it really wanted say. We asked, we googled, we cried.

but, when we read the book given by the God, we just read it blindly.

And at the end of the day, we say: I'm a holyman, I read the Book of God (more than my room mate who does his prayer 10 times faster than me.)

don't give excuses such as "I didn't learn Arabic so it's useless." Says who?

Even 5 years of learning Arabic doesn't able me to understand more than half of the Quran.

it's just a matter of that we try our best to understand the things that we read and say.

not to read more and get nothing of it.

it's quite funny and yeah, pathetic when some of dudes that I know laughed to the fact that the Imam read the supposedly eating prayer during the Friday prayer.

you see, the eating prayer goes like this:

O Allah bless us, what you gave to us and may us be away from Hell's torture.

what part of it says "PLEASE READ WHEN YOU'RE EATING ONLY"??

I'll leave it to you guys to judge this but I'll say you gotta undesrtand what you read guys..

the point of reading when you've no clue at all is that you'll get the reward and this life is all about collecting rewards from God

"not to read more and get nothing of it."

read more and get more reward lah

i agree that one must try one's best to understand the Quran when reading it but you can't say it's wrong for one to read even they don't understand it.

kalau nk tunggu semua org fhm Quran betul2 baru nk baca, sampai bile2 r xterbaca Quran tu...

well if your'e trying to be a typical blogger and only trying to bash me here,
please read again and see that i also wrote:

"it's just a matter of that we try our best to understand the things that we read and say."

i'm not saying DON'T READ but PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ..
you don't have to learn arabic to the roots (though I really think it's compulsory" but get the gist of what u read..

do you think you can get reward by reading

"and thou shall stay away from zina"

and then you go and have a date with your girlfriend?? just because you don't understand that HE asks us to STAY AWAY from it.

and by PLEASE I mean DO IT.. it's the God's wordS, not your foreign neighbours' words that sometimes you try your best to learn their language..

get it?
that's why i hate anon.
i thought "berani kerana benar" is a proud word of ours.

anyway thanks for your thoughts
