This evening the streets filled with vehicle traffic, some carrying horns, lighting firecrackers and partying to drunk. gee, I forgot that tonight is the exchange of year. If I'm not wrong, last week also exchange of year of Hijriyah, but what happened tonight was never seen at that night. what the hell is really happen with tonight? many people spent their money only for this night celebration. hundred thousand, a million even to tens of millions of rupiah. Hmmmm .. I just want to say "hope this night peace always enveloped New Year's Eve celebration.
HAPPY New Year 2010. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND FORGIVE YOU FOR ALL WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TONIGHT.
Assalamu alikum.
BalasHapusYeah they were always like that when they are standing on top. they just didn't know where to spend their money. To us it is such a waste. but to them it is just the way to celebrate.
How if we were them, wouldn't we have done the same way?..people like us will never know untill we standing evenly with them.
So,let's just be grateful for what we are being now..
wassalamu alaikum.

BalasHapuslots thanks to you for posting a comment on my writing.
I am very glad because of you were the first man join me on this blog and gave a very good comment, and I really appreciate that.
Initially, I created this article based on the anxiety of my heart as a Muslim who saw the existence of a culture which I think is not describing the personality of a Muslim. and I think it is very reasonable, this nation is a populated Muslim nation in the world, but we all forget that the 1st night of Muharram is the Islamic New Year's Eve, but why the massive celebration does not happen at that night, just the opposite occurred on the night of the turn of the year of Masehi there are many celebration.
This is where the core problem on my writing, not on ability and stability in celebrating the event.
This may explain the issue in my writing. however, I was giving kemal82 appreciation for the comment.

BalasHapusI'd like to Apologies for the pointless comment i dropped down before, and yet Thanks a lot for keep appreciating me, even though nothing worth to be appreciated from me. So much Appreciation here and there..such a beautiful world here and there become.
Regarding to the question from Mr.Melati..
I Think the answer could be like this.., even though this nation has the biggest Muslim population in the world, but every people in this nation acknowledge the existence of Masehi more than Hijriah..why is it so? because Masehi system is officially applied to every aspect of life , and holding a significant role on every individual in this nation, for instant: you are able to know how old are you is according to masehi calender system. maybe it would be a different story if this nation was using Hijriah as official calender system. maybe 1st muraham will be celebrated massively in the entire place of this nation. maybe you will look younger than your age compare to your are in Masehi age.
But then... if there was a question asking Why Idul Fitry can be celebrated massively although Masehi is official calender system in this nation..then the answer is most likely the same..because most people in this nation acknowledge the existence of "Ramadhan" more than other month in Hijriah Calender system or even more than Hijriah it self. Note that this is out of the context Ramadhan belongs to any religion or any belief. it applies the same to Masehi or whatsoever it is.
This is all about "something has big influence" to be acknowledge, to be aware, or to be noticed that it does exist. please be really careful in comprehending this. this doesn't mean to neglecting the existence of the other things with lesser influence.It just the way of nature. or maybe just human nature.
it is just an opinion, but hopefully it will help.
Wassalamu aliakum

BalasHapusonce again I say thanks to the enthusiasm kemal82 in understanding the concepts in my writing.
Basically, if we are talking at the level of the current reality, I agree with the apology that you noted above, but we present here is not merely discussing the reality that there are contradictory nature of our understanding of premises as a Muslim.
you gave an argument which I think is very reasonable, but the concept does not provide a solution to inequalities as I wrote in my notes above. from your previous exposure has raised questions for me and other Muslims, Why Muslims do not recognize major festivals in the Islamic calendar? do you have an alternative solution or even an answer for the question??
hope you will post and note a very good answer!!
