Dakwah

I've been watching videos about Speakers Corner that takes place in Hyde Park in London. It's amazing to see how our muslim brothers and sister and spreading dawah and truth. But of course, there are people who refuse the truth. I see many people who are genuine and want to seek knowledge. They want to know what Islam is. It's unfortunate how many violent things are happening in the world like Palestine and Syria, Iraq and Libya. Sometimes people are just evil and they will do bad things regardless of their religion or background. But I am not here to defend the acts of violence. I am here to talk about how these people are spreading dakwah. It brings confidence and happiness to me when I see how the dakwah is spreading. I saw many instances of how the muslims challenges the Bible and vice versa. I can confidently say that I have seen a lot of sense in the muslim brothers. I do acknowledge that sometimes, they talk harshly and very straightforwardly, but that is because I...

Punk Rock

I am a product for the music I listen to. Music helped me a lot in those times when I can't express myself. Music is a part of me and no one can change that fact. Growing up in the 90s and 2000s has really exposed me to an amazing array of punk rock bands that I love and had shaped me to be who I am today. As you can guess, I love punk rock. Those bands mean a lot to me, those songs resonates as part of my childhood that people don't even know. Punk rock has a tendency to address issues that people don't see, or people don't concern, but important nonetheless. I love punk rock and punk rock is me.

It played this song, and I have to say, i remembered it and decided to invest myself in it. Cigarettes After Sex is a good band name. It's catchy and attractive. But I'd like to highlight their music. It appears to be ambient pop, dream pop, slow wave, other pop, or something like that. For me, I don't really like anything pop, except maybe Lana Del Rey. Maybe I'd like something, but I won't get in to deep or it doesn't catch on with me. It's very likely I'll ignore it quickly. But this song really got me invested. It's a cover from REO Speedwagon. To describe this song..... It's perfect for night-time music listening. It goes deep in the stomach and goes deep in the heart. It resonates in my head and it's emotionally triggering. I'd like to slow dance in this song. I might be...
