Model Hijrah Songsang? I don't think so!

Faizal Tahir.

The very name that made the malaysian music scene went absolute haywire. To those who have never heard about this particular person, let me introduced a little bit about him. He is someone who have the passion for music especially Rock music. He was a former member of a nasyid group called MIRWANA. Yes, he is from a nasyid group. BUT, technically he was not originally a nasyid singer. He so-called help those Mirwana guys since they were like room/housemates when they were studying in UiTM.For the sake of Ukhuwwah and brotherhood,he helped his mates.

But in 2006, he made a decision to 'leave' the group and went on pursuing his dream in making big as 'rockstar' and he joined a reality tv shows called One In A Million.So,What actually little naughty things he did until he was labelled as 'Model Hijrah songsang?'

Well, personally [this is a sincere thought. Dont make it a big fuss coz im ONE of his fans] everybody is not PERFECT. Nobody is PERFECT.We as a human being is full of short-comings and the unperfect character.So, we tend to do things that actually unintentional. Unintentional indeed.So back to the question, what sorts of naughty things that he did?He actually took off his shirt in front of the crowds!

Him during 8tv's 4th anniversary.

Tom welling in Smallville as Clark Kent.

The 'event' of him taking off his shirt caused a big stir in the malaysian music industry. Because of this incident he was banned from appearing in any tv shows or tv programmes. And he was required to do community work for three months [izzit?] Hmm..yes that was it.

So for me, to labeled him as 'model hijrah songsang' is a bit extreme. As years pass by, we can named certain artises that actually changed thoroughly. The female artises who do not cover their aurat especially the hair are now seen with a new image. They now appeared wearing hijaab as it is long instructed by ALLAH and seen as an obligation to our deen. But the questions that still lingers in my mind, if these kind of people [if] they had totally leave the hedonistic world and moved to more spiritual world, why is it that they are still active in singing..acting and even hosting? If you made the choice of leaving it than why are you still clinging onto it? Don't tell its the only way for you to support your family. Please read the first hadith of Nawawi's 40 hadith. Innama A'malu binniyyat! Intention are not subjected to made what is wrong to be permissable. And those other artises [not mentioning names] mainly females. Look at their clothes! Some stuff that are not supposed to be revealed are sometimes revealed for the sake of fashion. Then why is it i've never heard of any female artises that wore skimpy outfit that revealed almost everything had to be banned from making an appearence in tv programmes and are required to do community works?

Double standard. That is the only think i could think right now. Back at FT, why is it people still making such a big fuss regarding this issues? For heaven sakes, he already rectified his mistakes and what more do you want him to do? I mean he just took off his shirt not his pants! Maybe this kind of an act may trigger the sensitivity of the malay community. But female artises wearing such figure tight clothes would be okay lah as long as they dont revealed the asset kot??

Thank God he was laidback with the problems and anwered to every question with modesty to proof that he is educated.

To make things clear, this entry is written due to my personal thoughts. I may be his Fan, but this entry,[may look like im backing him] is nothing. JUST a thought that lingers in my mind.

And i decided to post it

.

He is talented. So please appreciate his talent and his love for musics.

P/s: Sorry if i had to post in english coz i juz found out that i had a follower who seems having trouble in Malay. He may understand a bit lah but mostly cannot since im not using standard malay like in kamus but used every day Malay usage. =)
