This is Ramli's Video Journey-Thoughts of Ramli's series.
This video shows my neighbourhood mosque ie.Masjid Nadhah Al-Islamiah Section 18 in Shah Alam undergoing renovations.As you can see,soon this Mosque will become the envy of many who goes to pray or just passing by the vicinity of this Mosque.
Yes,Malaysia is populated by almost over 60 % Muslims population but if we are to analyse more critically,how many of Malaysian Muslims perform their 5 prayers a day routine in their suraus,mosques or any where they can pray to Allah SWT (God Almighty)?
I don't have the latest statistics but I use to hear that only 10~20 % Muslims actually pray 5 times a day,some maybe 3~4 times a day,some 1~2 times a day and many never even pray at all!Some only pray on Friday ie.the Friday Congregation.
Do YOU know that the Most Important Tenet of Islam is The Prayers (Solat).If the Muslim can keep his/her Solat records good,then he/she will have a good start on the Road to Jannah (Heaven)otherwise how good he/she will be on this earth,is all useless and wasteful efforts,believe me it's the truth and command from Allah SWT and also from the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW (peace be upon him-pbuh)
Let's all Muslims rethink,reenergise,replan our Life's Goals to ensure that our Solat of 5 times a day is 1st Priority in our life's mission and all the rest will come in place,Inshallah.
Go visit www.youtube.pramleeelvis videos in this website,to see all the Ustazs' and Ustazahs' ceramahs especially from Dato'Hj.Ishak Baharom (late Mufti of Selangor Darul Ehsan)who speaks on this subject in great details.Inshallah.
All Good Things Comes from Allah SWT and all bad things or weaknesses are of Ramli's doings.Please Doa for Ramli's Good Fortune and Health including YOURS also.
Wassallam.

Some facts from Wikipedia on Malaysia's Religion.

Malaysia is a multi-religious society and Islam is the official religion. According to the Population and Housing Census 2000 figures, approximately 60.3 percent of the population practiced Islam; 19.2 percent Buddhism; 9.1 percent Christianity; and 6.3 percent Hinduism. The remaining 5 percent was accounted for by other faiths, including Animism, Shamanism, Sikhism, Bahá'í, Taoism, Confucianism, and other traditional Chinese religions.[52] Until the twentieth century, most practiced traditional beliefs, which arguably still linger on to a greater degree than Malaysian officialdom is prepared to acknowledge.

Although the Malaysian constitution theoretically guarantees religious freedom, in practice the situation is not so simple. All ethnic Malays are Muslim as defined in the Malaysian constitution.Additionally, all non-Muslims who marry a Muslim must renounce their religion and convert to Islam. Meanwhile, non-Muslims experience restrictions in activities such as construction of religious buildings and the celebration of certain religious events in some states.Muslims are obliged to follow the decisions of Sharia courts when it comes to matters concerning their religion. The jurisdiction of Sharia court is limited only to Muslims over matters of Faith and Obligations as a Muslim, which includes marriage, inheritance, apostasy, conversion, and custody among others. Any other criminal or civil offences are not under the jurisdiction of the Sharia Courts. As a rule, the Civil Courts cannot overule any decision made by the Sharia Courts, not even the Federal Court. The Sharia Courts has a similar hierarchy to the Civil Courts.

As a legal matter, Muslims may not apostatise very freely, as doing so involves the Sharia court. The Sharia court is governed by judges who are trained in Sharia law. Generally, one who wishes to leave Islam makes a legal declaration, but this is still not recognised by the Malaysian civil courts. One has to obtain a declaration of apostasy from a Sharia court and the court will only grant the apostasy after the court is truly convinced that the petitioner no longer has faith in Islam.
