Since Friday night the notorious MWA Hall has been hired for various purposes all of which emit the most unbelievable noise. It doesn't matter to the various people concerned that this hall is in a residential neighbourhood as well as right next to one hospital (Aga Khan), with another (Pandya), not too far away and within hearing distance.
Right now, there is a terribly and offensively loud Christian meeting going on at the place which goes on till nearly 2.00 pm every week day, not to mention even weekends, at times.
The neighbourhood mosque's Imam, too, seems to be completely without any sense. He still continues with his loud call (it can be heard way beyond this immediate estate), to prayer which is unjustified considering the other areas have their own mosques. The equally loud leading of prayers is also uncalled for as he is not leading the people outside the mosque in prayers even if the ones outside would like to follow him, it's not valid. So, why do these Imams or whoever is in making these policies, not, insist on having their loud speakers inside the mosque and not outside? Is it such a complicated reasoning that it is beyond their simple minds? And I challenge them to give me a single valid verse from the Holy Qur'an which they purport to recite umpteen times a day, or a Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), where their practice would find justification. And if they can't and I'm sure they can't, then, they are questionable Muslims, and out to deliberately disturb others - be they Muslims or not.
Therefore, we who live in this area, have to contend with noise at all hours and weekends for us does not mean that we get any rest and quiet from the usual noisy, and lawless Kenyan life, either. In fact, as far as this neighbourhood is concerned, we have no law to speak of because, repeated calls to our cops, hardly gets any response or action.
Also, my equally lawless and thuggish neighbours who instigate the many 'customers' among whom are many school going thugs in the making, to repeatedly for no reason in particular, to set off my car alarm. Why and what kind of future 'citizens' are we producing and 'educating'? One wonders at the quality of this education.... They also claim to be Muslims who are supposed to be God fearing. So, why do they behave like this? Are they not afraid of being cursed for causing such inconveniences, continuous disturbance and spoiling the property of another neighbour? Their actions and behaviour would give the impression that they are not.
What a life we lead in this country!
Most of the postings are to do with what an average Kenyan citizen has to deal with, in the country, to survive. They go through and are treated with a lot of injustice, where very few in 'officialdom', will take notice of their problems or even do anything about them. Hence, this blog and the belief in, 'One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshipers' - Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
