Salam all,
Thanks for the warm welcome and I am happy that indeed there are Indonesian here. Apa khabar semua ? nanti saya gabung sama milis anda.
For Arlnold, basically the ritual prayers or 5 times prayer facing ka'baa is the one that mislead people. I pray to God also such as utering, "please God ha
ve a mercy on me" when I feel depressed etc. and remembering HIM as I am a wake.
What concern me regarding this kind of forum is typically I want some feed back for us who spread the guidance to the real society, at least to family and our neighbour. We can not just be proud to be different like others but we need to measure how sucess are we in this challenge ? how many person you had been changed. It is all about giving life and help others into God direction.
AND I will bring you all to a view (persfective) that we need to DEAL with this and have sense of urgency. We need to see this as a PROJECT. every project have a goal (objective) and we need to finish the target in timely manner. We need to derives problem, what causing it ?, why are people rejecting the guidance?. What is the risk and how we minimalize it. We are, I believe, more knowledgable rather than Muhammad in term of management and technology. We need to use multimedia to make them easy to understand. We need resources and money. The man is already dead (wafat) and it is time for us to go forward to continue his mission. This I believe the teach of the Quran. The message had delivered, what can we do ?
Peace,
