In a hadith (sayings) of the Prophet, it is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged his followers to "seek knowledge even in land as far away as China".

In many muslims societies the pursuit of knowledge has been superseeded by the pursuit of wealth and power. Islam became a great power when the muslims mastered the knowledge of the ancient world, find new ones by reading Quranic texts and built innovations. It declined when the knowledge was no longer the primary pursuit and when we have many muawiyahs struggling for power.While muslims speak of past glories and syok sendiri, little have they done to resurrect that golden age.
eventhough God has promised to bless the children of IShmael and make them into great nations,i dont think He will save them from their own destructive ways.
It is timely reminder for all Muslims especially Muslim in Malaysia.
But with such thick and sticky UMNOrism in most of the Muslim Malays, we can give it a try to change them and the only way is to remove them from power.
Malaysia needs leaders but this is the missing link with the people in power so will the people power prevail in years to come is only GOD knows.
Ah, yes, this is Chinese culture. Can you please forward this article to that Zahid Hamidi? He got booty dance mixed up for Chinese culture!

over-zealous (politically, no doubt) malays/muslims can't differentiate between
race vs religion (faith).
i tot islam (or most religions for that matter) is race(colour)-blind? shouldn't it be that way?
i know what, it's ego... it always is.
