I've never worn maxi dress before, this would be my first time as I thought that I never suit wearing long casual dresses. This might be the first maxi dress that I like, who knows, I might get more maxi dresses. Easy dress up, just add an accessory and voila! You are ready to go out. I might not be a fashion professional, but I know what is acceptable when going out. I admit that most of the times I'm just plain lazy and I would just wear my house clothes out to places like grocery shopping, lunch or dinner or even to friends house. I only dress up and take the initiative to be presentable when there is a purpose for it, Orrrrrrrr when I'm in the mood for it. I can't do it everyday, I really do solute those who dress nicely when they go for class, for everything!
I wish that I have the initiative to dress nicely every time I go out, regardless of where I'm going, but I just can't, the laziness in me has concurred me lol.
Anyway, recently, back in Malaysia, there was an event held by a Muslim name, Syed Azmi Alhabshi, the event was called "I want to touch a dog". I could sense that he has the compassion for dogs and other animals as he tries open others eyes and giving them the encouragement to love another living creature:dogs. I admire this guy very much as he has organized this event to help Muslims and others who are afraid of dogs to overcome their fears of dogs.
He had the guts to do such event where in Malaysia, Muslims are not allowed to touch dogs. (They said that it was 'haram' (sinful) to touch any dogs).
I don't really understand this regulation, why is one not allowed to touch dogs? Thus categorizing them as 'dirty'. They are same as any other animals, cats, fish, horse, elephant, pig, ostrich etc. According to those superstitious ones and the Islamic Religious Council, Muslims are prohibited to touch any dogs at any times. This event has provoked their religion and has ashamed their religion and having this event has gone against Islamic teachings.
I do not understand completely, why is is provocative when all those people who touched dogs were just... touching them. It's not like they abuse dogs, or kill dogs, or eat them. Dogs are also animals (to me, they are family), and God, regardless of which God you pray to, was the one who create this living creature that the wise ones called "a mans best friend".
Dogs don't do harm to humans, all they want from you is basically just 3 things: food, attention and love. In return, 3 things they give you: happiness, company and protection. That's it! I don't see anything sinful about giving food, attention and love to dogs, Muslims give food, attention and love to cats, why not dogs?
Cats lick themselves to clean themselves up, but cats also live outdoors and indoors, you don't know what has been in cats mouth, cats sometimes have this 'fur ball' which they have to cough it out (or at least that is what I heard).
Same goes for dogs, though they don't lick themselves to clean themselves up (But I know some dogs actually do!) we don't know what has been in their mouths. Same goes for any other animals! I don't see Muslims in other countries having this rule against dogs, why only in Malaysia?
Last year, there was this news about an old man called "Pak Mie" but real name is Mohammad Azmi, who loved dogs like his own babies, taking those who are in need of home to his, so far he has rescued more than 600 strays Muslim community criticizes and looks down on Pak Mie, but I really solute and love Pak Mie for doing such deeds! He sacrificed his comfort for the strays, his wife too, sacrificed all her jewelry to feed the strays. They know the consequences of sheltering these animals, but they still went for it... and for over 20 years!!!
I love Pak Mie and his wife for that! He was given the name of "A Stray Hero".
Click the link to read a little about Pak Mie's story. OR The Malaysian Insider - Muslim couple are stray dogs best friend
I know that there are other stories about Muslims in Malaysia carrying out rescue mission and sheltering stray dogs and dogs that were left behind. With that, I solute to those who had the courage to do so and also had the heart to do so.
These heroes helped, but was looked down, criticized, and threatened. Pak Mie had to evacuate and leave his land, he was spared.. for now, who knows what might happen to him since anything could happen to those who does not follow the rules of Islamic teachings in M'sia : Pak Mie's animal shelter spared, for now
Whereas Syed Azmi who organized the "I want to touch a dog" event had to apologize as he received many death threats by God knows who : Syed Azmi Apologizes
P/S: Ironically both of these mens were named "Azmi"nice!
No one can be forced to take part in the "I want to touch dogs" event, those who went (and there were many as I've seen in medias) are those who wants and are eager to touch dogs and also to love them and conquer their fears. They went because they do not want to feel afraid of dogs, they want to feel what others feel about dogs, they want to speak out and open their hearts to dogs. So why not? I really do not understand.
I hope that one day, "they" would come into a realization that dogs are just dogs/ family, they don't take away your freedom, they don't kill you for loving them, they don't gamble your money away just for their temptation, they don't make you sinful, they are not 'dirty'.

The
adviser to the Johor Islamic Religious Council said it was haram
(prohibited) for Muslims to deliberately touch dogs as they were dirty
(najis mughallazah) according to two Muslim schools of thought, Shafie
and Hanbali.
"Don't try to create a culture that goes against Islam and the Shafie school of thought, especially when it has elements of insulting the ulama in this country," he was quoted as saying in Malay-language daily Berita Harian.
"This is forbidden for three reasons, which are religion, health and a culture that contradicts with Islam. It must be remembered that Malaysia adheres to the Shafie school of thought," he said. - See more at: http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/i-want-to-touch-a-dog-event-an-attempt-to-insult-malaysias-clerics-says-for#sthash.brhfkAJE.dpuf
