wassup Turkey?

Assalamualaikum, and g'day all readers.

Ustaz Hasrizal

first of all, i would like to apologize for not updating my blog for a long time. *it's been two weeks, it's long for me* another apology from me because i have not been updating on knowledgeable stuff, but have been crapping about mother-in-laws. just kill me already!
so, this post goes back to about a month ago, when we had this talk in our University. this post is going to be in Malay-English mix, because i wrote them in my notebook that way. the talk was given by Ustaz Hasrizal, a famous Islamic author in Malaysia, a part-time blogger and full-time daddy to a newborn girl. 
The interesting part about Ustaz Hasrizal is the way he presented the talk-he narrates. he narrated based on his experiences and as he speaks about his experiences, he inserts a bit of what Turkey is all about.
i won't be talking about his journey in Turkey, but i will emphasize on what he highlighted about the Turkish people. 
According to Ustaz Hasrizal, the Turkish are very civilized people, they have different rooms for shower and toilet, so that when one performs the ablution, he will be free of najis, or stuff that comes in the way when one performs prayers in Islam. also, he noticed, the Turkish people washes a clean glass before pouring water in it. even though they already know the glass is clean, they re-wash it just to be sure that the glass is super clean before they pour anything in it.
The Turkish are very warm people, to the point where they would invite strangers to live in their house, if it is necessary.
In certain universities in Turkey, there is such a course like studying the Language of History and Geography so that the people would be able to learn on how to read old manuscripts. this shows us how civilized the people are. they pay so much attention to the little details in learning, nothing escapes the subject of knowledge in Turkey.
The Turkish Muslims are very simple-minded, in such ways that they will not think negatively about another Muslims, for the sake of this: all Muslims are brothers and sisters.
when will be ever be like them?
also, during prayers especially in the mosques, the people would reach down and take their slippers above their head so that nobody else would come in contact with the slippers. *slippers are meant to be dirty, we step on various elements on the road* even when one wants to put on his shoes, a stick is provided so that the person will not come in contact with the shoes. again, for the same reasons. what we can see here is that if you look into the minute details, we can see how civilised Turkish people are. 
however, the ustaz also said that Turkey in 2013 isn't the same as Turkey in 2003. in 2003, Turkey had inflation and the people were stressful, however all of the people felt they had to stand up as one and save themselves, bring back the glory of Turkey. they didn't want to be known for what they did, all they cared was to bring back the glory to their country, with such purity in their hearts. 
they are also not afraid of changes. some of the people try to convince others for a change, so that Turkey shall rise again. and they did!
