Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun

My Humble Personal Opinion

When someone posted on Facebook “Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun”, certainly he/she knows the main reason why he/she posted so. But, his/her FB friends DON’T.


A community on Facebook is mixed with people “with and without” intensive Islamic educational backgrounds.

Customarily, some were used that when “Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun” is pronounced, someone from the closest family, relatives or friends has passed away.

Thus, when they read this phrase posted by their FB friend who happens to be the member of their kin, the initial reaction is they will be shocked, worried and would ask WHO DIED?

Although in Islam, this is not exclusively intended to be supplicated upon someone’s death. But as well as if there are calamities and other untoward incident to befall. That’s why we shouldn’t also let ourselves to be forever ignorant of our Deen.

Moreover, IT’S ok if being uttered privately, whatever the reason why someone says so, IT’S ok.

Notwithstanding, when it's posted on FB, lots of people can read it and as what I’ve said mostly would think that somebody has died.

Again, please note well that we say “Innaa Lillaahi wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajiun” when calamity or any bad incident strikes us... loss of life, property or wealth.

Better if your reason for posting so is in response to someone’s death, JUST MENTION NAME or your other reason so as the people on FB who aren’t aware with your reason will not become shocked and worried.

Otherwise, don’t just post it.

THE UNFORGETTABLE YOUTH CAMP

THE UNFORGETTABLE YOUTH CAMP By MSA-UZ Member The youth camp is one of the most effective methods for the Islamic training of young potential leaders. Thus, as an official youth organization in our most beloved academe, we wish to contribute more to the welfare of the university in pursuit for peace and development even just in our humble capacity despite the hectic schedule as college students. We apprehended that in order to gain the aforementioned matters, we must first discipline ourselves along with our co-MSA-UZ fellows in an Islamic arena. Consequently, after a long patient and persistent preparation on the proposed plan for the mini Youth Camp, finally, the MSA-UZ held its 1st time ever youth camp with the THEME of “ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD: HOW TO ATTAIN IT” at Puerto Villa Beach Resort, Patalon, Zamboanga City last April 10-11, 2009. The activity was peacefully opened by the recitation of verses from the Holy Qur’an by the former MSA-UZ President Alhusin Muhammad. It continu...

Mohammad S. Tulawie, fondly called “Mastal Mohammad,”  dedicated his lifetime to his  Bangsa, Hulah, Agama. The Mohammad Tulawie Central Elementary School in Jolo, Sulu. Photo from its FB page According to the many narratives of our elders, “Mastal Mohammad” was resolute in his sworn commitment to educate his fellow-Tausugs during his time. Tausug parents then were apprehensive to send their kids to school because they thought once they will be educated, they would be converted to Christianity. However, Mastal Mohammad S. Tulawie, in his clairvoyant v...
