One of my many interests is reading. And another one is sharing what I’ve read. The latter involves a lot of talking. But I must say i’m not a good public speaker, not like Tok Guru Nik Aziz nor Anwar nor Khalid Samad of course. This, however, did not discourage me from addressing issues in large groups.

I am halfway through reading Ustaz Hasrizal’s ‘Aku Terima Nikahnya’, and a list of good memories came to my mind, which made me tempted to put my thoughts into words at this point.

There are 8 of us planning to travel across Turkey this winter. My first attempt in knowing more about Turkey was none other than reading Ustaz Hasrizal’s blog, a teacher whom I’ve known for many years. In the post entitled ‘Selamat Mencari Damai Diri‘, Ustaz Hasrizal put up a YouTube video of a Turkish song called “Katibim“. I was fascinated that that song was very familiar...

The email was sent through Malaysian Muslim Circle in Cardiff YahooGroup and Facebook, which is copied...
