A brief look at mvblogsphere titles and my thoughts

I’ve been quit busy to post anything on my blog but that didn’t stop me from checking out mvblogsphere everyday, There would be a handful of interesting titles and some a bit offending some rubbish and some very funny posts by different bloggers.



Although each and every writer is an independent individual by reading the posts some readers do get an idea that they are all linked or a group working together for their questions and doubts about Islam. Most Maldivians born as Muslims simply can’t believe that there are other Maldivians who are on the edge or against Islam, I’ve noticed this has started many cold wars in mvblogsphere.


Some with their preschool Islamic knowledge or with the classic “Maldivian Islaan dheen” would argue and point out the flaws in Islam, Others would defend their image of how Islam should be using these points. Sadly our schooling system wasn’t constructed in an appropriate manner to teach students. This vacuum was filled with all kinds of misconceptions. Some believe this is how Islam is and should be, others finds its faults and criticize Islam, while both parties do this not knowing the true teaching of Islam.


Yes it does get very confusing when someone would wear a Pakistani “kurtha” and claim that its what Muslims must wear cause it’s the “sunnah’ ignorant to the fact Mohammed was in Arabia not in Pakistan and also he (Mohammed) did not wear anything of that kind. These usually arrogant and narrow minded people also have their very own “custom made” Islam. For the if we don’t follow their rulings we are simply “kufaars”. Again blind to the fact that eminent scholars of Islam never said “this one or that one is a kafir” so ignorant to know in islam even if someone commits a crime he/she is not out of islam and repentance is there for them, and if someone commits a crime the question is always there “why he/she did it?”, was he/she aware that this is a crime?” While there would be the so called “moderate Muslims” who would say “I pray and fast so it’s ok even if I do this and that Allah is all merciful” these two ignorant to the fact that Islam is not their lamborghini or M5 to customize it as they wish .


While some Question why a person is called Sheik while he just finished first degree, well its very smple its cause former president started it to give a title to his friends, and it actually take more time to finish a degree in shariah or dauwa properly. In KSA a simple degree in shariah would cost you four years of your lives (yes just that, and the rest is paid by the Saudi government) while first degree in other subjects like “fisheries science” would be done in a year or two. Yes one more thing there are students who study in Malaysia and around the world shariah and they can do it in two years or three. Well they study “law” “how to become a lawyer” not the shariah in religious aspects.


I suggest to all those who have questions to read more and try to learn about true teachings of Islam, for those Muslims who love Islam I’d call out to control your temper cause anger is something discouraged in Islam and let people ask questions about your faith and your book, by getting mad like a bull dog wont convince people that your religion is peaceful. Its very important to say “I don’t know” if you don’t know something and direct the questioner to a more learned person thus clearing his doubts with the right information rather than your own philosophy of Islam.
Its very important for all of us to know we are not scholars so we are to pursue knowledge from them and its better to say nothing on this when we don’t have a proper education on Islam or theology, critics of different fields are actually very good at it that field thus enabling them to comment on people’s actions and point out mistakes, so to criticize a religion you are ought to know it very well and also some other religions too.
