i n t e r - r a c i a l r e l a t i o n s h i p ?

Hi guys ! Enjoyed your holidays ? Although i met my family just for a while , it's a bonus for me during this Hari Raya . I miss them so much (little touching~) . Don't bother it . Now for my PROJECT MUHIBBAH , I decided to interview my uncle named Ustaz Redzuan bin Nahar .

handsome right?

cute right?(eyes up,hands on the shoulder)

So here is my conversation with him after being translated to English from Jawa version .

Me : Assalamualaikum . How are you ?

Ustaz : I'm fine . Thank you .

Me : So what do you think about inter-racial relationship ?

Ustaz : Inter-racial relationship ?? Hmm . Inter-racial relationship is a positive thing because at the time of the Prophet himself , multiplicity race had existed . And in the Quran also stated , Allah said , which means: 

 

"O mankind, We created you from male and female and made ​​you into nations and tribes, that you may know (and despise each other). Verily, the most honorable of you with Allah is the most righteous of you, (not a descendant or race). Allah is All-Knowing, All Aware (of the conditions and deeds)."(Al-Hujurat: 13)

So , multiplicity races have been decided by God therefore every human being should have a kind of respect to other races .

Me : Ok , do you think that the idea of 1Malaysia reach its' objectives ?

Ustaz : Actually , we should not see the idea that came from human . Rightly we have to see the ideas that come from The Creator . So the idea of 1Malaysia got something that is not right while Allah has laid a religion that can solve the problems between races .

Me : Very well , I wish you Happy Eid and Happy 54th Independence Day !

Ustaz: Oh yes , Happy Independence Day and at the same time we are not independent yet , the religion(Islam) not independent yet , our soul not independent yet , and many more aspects that have to be liberated especially Islam itself . Allah stated in the Quran ,

"O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."( al- Baqarah : 208-209 )

Me : Assalamualaikum .

Ustaz : Waalaikumsalam .

Project Muhibbah

For this project, I have interviewed my uncle for his opinion about inter-religious friendship.

Q  :      What is your opinion about inter-religious friendship?

A  :       In my opinion, this type of relationship is develop between adherents of different religions in Malaysia. For example, inter-religious friendship might be between the followers of Islam, Hindu devotees, Buddhists and Christians. The relation between different religions in our country is strongly encouraged to create harmony in a multiracial society that also practices a different religion. As for Muslims in Malaysia, we are so lucky to celebrate Hari Raya and Independence Day this year at the same time. In addition, we can strengthen the relationship between different religions during both celebrations of Hari Raya and Independence Day. In a multiracial society like Malaysia, other adherents of different religions also celebrate Hari Raya and visiting the Muslims. This can make them to know and understand more about Muslims’ cultures and traditions. As a result, each of the different religions will respect each other and thus creating a harmonious society.

During Raya holiday, I meet my auntie and I ask her several questions regarding the interracial relationship. Below is an interview sessions.

What do you think the meaning of inter-racial relationship?
Interracial is an adjective related to a supposed racial group. Interracial marriage is one of the interracial relationship, it occurs when two people of different racial groups marry and thus the relationship was created.


What is the benefits of an interracial relationship?
The benefits of this kind of relationships are a lot. One of them is that it helps to bridge the two families of two different races , together. Also, the partner can learn their partner culture or religion. This will increase their knowledge and possibly learning new language. Second, the partner can become strong in what they believe and will have an incredible experience with someone that they love.

Based on your experience/opinion, what is the positive aspect about the interracial marriage?

Speaking from my own experienced, I noticed the couples seem very comfortable with one another. Other than that , it also helps to broaden one's mind about other race. Additionally the racial demographic of each person in the relationship seems to contribute to the most stunning children I have ever seen. The children born to these unions is absolutely has amazing eye and hair color. Also , biologically speaking , the sons and daughters produced will be genetically enhanced , in terms of intelligence , due to the longer distance of genes. Children of mixed relationships are overall healthier than their genetically homogeneous parents, prone to less diseases.

As we all know every race have different culture and tradition. It is very important for us to understand the similarities and differences between the culture to prevent misunderstandings and to blend in together in harmony.

Hari Raya is celebrated as a victory for muslims who can worship the fast of Ramadan with perfectly. On the second Hari Raya day, I have interviewed my cousin who worn red shirt for his opinion regarding inter-racial relationship. Below is the question that I asked.


Q: What do you think about inter-racial relationship on Hari Raya?

As an example such as doing the open house is a good way to ensure that people regardless of race or religion to visit their muslim friends. They also can join us together, eat together and celebrate the Hari Raya to have a joy and also srengthen the relationship between races. The relationship can make other races know and understand more about our cultures and traditions. They will also respect our religion by celebrate Hari Ray which is celebtrated by muslims. This relationship can bind together into one community to make one unity and build harmony and peaceful country with 1Malaysia concept among citizens in Malaysia.
