A MUSLIM’S ROMANTIC JOURNEY

Talambuhay ng Awtor

Siya ay may pet name na KittyCrackers pinanganak at nabuhay sa United Kingdom. Ang kanyang mga paboritong laro ay football kasama ang kanyang kapatid na lalake, tito at kapitbahay. Isa siyang babae pero may  pusong lalake o isang tomboy pero unti unti siyang nagbago hanggang sa naging pusong babae na siya pero naglalaro parin siya ng football dahil ito daw ang nagpapasaya sa kanya. Ang buhay niya ay karaniwan lamang sa nakakarami na kung saan may kasiyahan at kalungkutan sa buhay.

Nagawa niya ang kwentong ito dahil gusto niya  ang mga batang muslim ay matutong umibig na hindi nagkakasala dahil marami na siyang nabasang mga kwento sa mga muslim na nagkakasala ng dahil lang sa pag ibig at gusto niyang mabuhayan ng loob ang kanyang mga kapatid na muslim na ang pagmamahal ay hindi kailangan magkasala o kailangang gumawa ng mga haram. Isa siyang mabuting muslim na sumusunod sa mga kaugalian nila ng tapat at totoo.

Paliwanag sa Pamagat

Ng isulat niya ang mga kabanata ng kwentong ito at ng ipalathala niya ito sa Wattpad at ang unang niyang naisip bilang pamagat ng kwento ay ang A Muslim’s Romantic Journey balak niya sana palitan ito pero ng kalaunan nagustuhan nadin niya ang pamagat dahil patungkol naman ito sa kung paano dapat umibig ang totoong muslim.

Tunggalian

Ang kwentong ito ay sarili laban sa sarili kung saan si Safia ay may pagdududa sa kanyang sarili dahil sa parati nalang siyang nababaliwala ng mga lalaking napamahal sa kanya dahil mas napapansin ang mas maganda niyang pinsan na si Hafsa katulad din ni Safia si Yusuf ay may mga pagdududa sa kanyang sarili dahil sa kanyang problema sa paa at dahil hindi siya napapagmalaki ng kanyang ina. Nagnanais na sana maging ibang tao nalang sila katulad ng taong mas hinahangaan nila.

Tagpuan

Bahay ni Safia

Bahay ni Yusuf

Dar Ul Loom- Lugar kung saan nagbahagi ng aral si Sheikh Khalid Yasin sa pagiging mabuting asawang muslim sa kanilang mga kabiyak.

Mga Tauhan

Ang Pamilya ni Safia

Hamza- 22 taon gulang na kapatid ni Safia.

Hafsa- kapatid ni Safia na gustong pakasalan ni Abubakar.

Ina at ama ni Safia- nasa 45 hanggang taon gulang.

Javed- ang kapatid ni Yusuf na mas pinagmamalaki ng kanyang ina kaysa sa kanyang sa kanya.

Maryam- kapatid na babae ni Yusuf.

Aliya-kaibigan ni Maryam.

Mga Teorya

·         Romantisismo

“The thing I loved about the elders in my family was their love of Islam over culture” 

Ito ang nasabi ni Safia patungkol sa kanyang pamilya kung paano nila binibigyan ng kahalagahan ang kanilang relihiyon na hindi na siya dapat pang mag alala dahil ang kanyang pamilya ay pipili ng lalaking totoong magmamahal sa kanya pati nadin sa kanilang mga paniniwala bilang isang mabuting muslim.

·         Pilosopikal (bisa sa damdamin)

“I wasn’t jealous. With jealousy comes hatred and I could never hate Hafsa, I just wished I was more like her”

Dahil sa sobrang pagkalungkot ni Safia ng mas pinili ng pamilya ni Abubakar si Hafsa kaysa sa kanya hindi niya napigilan ang pagkainggit niya sa kanyang pinsan na mula noon paman ay mas gusto na ng  mga lalake dahil sa maganda nitong kutis, magandang mata na para bang nakamake up kahit na wala naman. Pero kahit na naiinggit siya rito hindi niya parin kayang magalit sa pinsan dahil sa napakapabuti nito sa kanya na pinagtanggol pa siya at sinabihan si Abubakar na “You don’t deserve Safia!, she is one of a kind but you just wasted her love for you!” at dahil nagalit nadin si Hafsa kay Abubakar ay hindi din niya ito tinanggap ang alok ng kasal ni Abubakar.

Buod

Bata pa lang si Safia pangarap na niyang makasal sa taong mahal niya. Sinikap niyang maging mabuti para sa kanyang paniniwala bilang Muslim at maging mabuting asawa sa kanyang kabiyak. Kilala na niya noon pa man si Abubakar ang dati niyang crush at sa di inaasahang pagkakataon may lalaking bumisita sa kanilang bahay kasama ang kanyang Ina, noong una pa man makasama ni Yusuf si Safia kahit hindi niya ito nakita alam na niyang may kakaiba siyang nararamdam sa dalaga kaya kinaibigan niya ang kapatid nito na si Hamza. Sa kagustuhan din ni Hamza na mahanapan ng mabuting kabiyak ang kanyang kapatid ay kinaibigan din niya ito at boto siya kay Yusuf. Laking gulat nalang nila ng malaman  na itatakdang ikasal si Safia kay Abubakar. Tuwang tuwa si Safia ng malaman niya na may gusto pala sa kanya si Yusuf at ikakasal siya sa crush niya noon paman, ng malaman niya na may dalawang lalake ang may gusto sa kanya pakiramdam niya tuloy napakaganda na niya.

Pero ng dumating ang araw na pumunta ang pamilya ni Abubakar kina Safia labis na nasaktan si Safia sa kanyang nalaman na ang gusto palang pakasalan ni Abubakar ay si Hafsa ang pinsan ni Safia. Nainggit si Safia sa ganda ni Hafsa pero hindi niya kayang magalit dito dahil sa pinagtanggol pa siya nito kay Abubakar. Tunay ang pagmamahal ni Safia kay Hafsa at ganun din ito sa kanya kaya hindi niya tinanggap ang alok ni Abubakar na mapakasal siya rito.

Samantalang si Yusuf naman ay nabuhayan ng loob ng malaman niyang hindi natuloy ang kasal ni Safia kay Abubakar. Niligawan niya ito gamit ang sulat na pinapadala sa tulong ni Hamza hanggang sa naging malapit sila sa isa’t isa pero nagkasundo sila na hindi muna nila makikita ang isa’t isa hanggang matapos ang Nilkah pero ang Ina naman ni Yusuf ay medyo hindi boto kay Safia dahil sa napakasimple nito gusto kasi ng mama ni Yusuf yung moderno at sunod sa uso na maipagmamalaki niya sa kanyang mga kaibigan katulad ni Javed na kapatid ni Yusuf. Pero wala paring nagawa ang Ina ni Yusuf dahil porsigido itong pakasalan si Safia. Hanggang sa ikasal sila at nakita nila ang isa’t isa sa kabila ng pagiging hindi perpekto minahal parin nila ang isa’t isa at hindi nila tiningnan ang mga mali at kulang kundi mas minahal nila ito ng buong puso at naging tapat sila sa isa’t isa pati nadin sa kanilang paniniwala bilang mabuting Muslim.

1. What folk literature do Cebuano find most appealing? Why is this so? What does this tell of them as a people?

            Cebuano people are believed to be religious. Evident to this is that before even in the present time, near the entrance of the church are the vendors who sell Sampaguitas to offer to the saints and some of the books like “Gozos” or religious hymns, books which tackles about the lives of the saints and the “Napta” or the horoscope are very common to the Cebuano tribe.

            All of those are appealing to the Cebuano because it defines their identity as religious people. But according to the one we interviewed, the most appealing to him is the “Napta” or what we commonly called as horoscope. He even showed the “Napta” to us. In that book, you could read the fate of the people with accordance to what stars they are born to. This implies that the Cebuano people are hopeful people and strongly believed in their fate; it’s either you’re lucky or unlucky. He also said that, at the end it is your choice either to believe or not to your fate. It just serves as your guide in your existence in this world. In the end, it’s you who decides your fate with the guidance of the Divine Providence.

2. Discuss the role that folk song plays in lives? Is it still a strong significant part of their folklore?

Of all the literary types, only poetry is represented by the folk songs, riddles and proverbs which they managed to retain the indigenous sense of values because of the mode of conveying its message. Folk songs, an important part of literature, give the reader an insight into the various aspects of life and customs of the Cebuano forebears. The reader may find the impulsive and casual expression of the real nature and spirit of the Cebuano. A number of songs show the Cebuano interest in the different aspects of their natural environments such as the colors, songs and characteristics of birds.

The songs possess a remarkable lyrical quality. Like the song “Si Pilemon” where Pilemon is a fisherman who worked near the seashore to catch a small fish and sell it to the market where after he sold the small fish for small amount of money he usually went for his friends to buy “tuba” where most fishermen are contented with these simple living.

Yes, indeed folk songs play a significant role in the lives of the Cebuano for they show what kind of people the cebuanos are and how simply they live their lives. According to some of the Cebuano people that we interviewed the song “Si Pilemon” is one of the favorite folk songs their ancestors wanted to sing during the time because it simply distinguishes their identity as a tribe in the society. Cebuano: a group of people whose way of living is simple yet they have the satisfaction in their hearts.

3. How vital is Lapu-Lapu to their culture?

The Cebuano folk literature is primarily a blended culture of the visayan domain. Their Folk Literature is the combination of the different tribes in the Visayas Island.

The colourful and fascinating literature of pre-Hispanic Filipinos are still here,  giving the new generation an overview of a heritage that is an unusual and invaluable source of joy and information regarding the lifestyle, love and aspirations of early Filipinos. It is from these, wonderful Philippine epics, where a Filipino can find his or her national identity.

 The "Hinilawod" is an epic poem made by the early inhabitants of Iloilo, Aklan and Antique also from Panay. The hero of Hinilawod, “Humadapnon” was of divine ancestry. He had super natural powers and guardian spirits to protect him. His most exciting adventure was his search for Malitong Yawa Sinamagling Diwata: A beautiful maiden whom he saw in his dream. He boarded his golden boat, sailed amidst dangerous seas, and was captured by an enchantress/engkantada. Finally, he found and won the love of Malitong Yawa Sinamagling Diwata.

This epic hero is vital in the Cebuano literature because it portrays how the Cebuano people fight for their love despite of all the hindrances that takes place. It shows the great love he had for the woman he loved which also describes the traits that the Cebuano men possessed. It is from these epic that a Filipino especially the Cebuano can feel heroic, truly pulsating with splendor of a magnificent and authentic cultural force.

4. Is there literature still an Elan Vital to the Cebuano? Show proof.

            When we asked this question to Mr. Faustino Taylaran, a Cebuano whom we interviewed, he answered positively as he said, “Oo, naa gyud ka-uswagan ang Cebuano labi na sa mga kanta.” This is very true in our society today in terms of Cebuano songs which evolved in different genres in present. Before, the Cebuano songs are mostly in mellow genres where it takes a singer with a golden and a wide-range voice to sing; songs like “Lagkaw”, “Usahay”, “Matud nila” and etc. are just some of the examples. But, in the present time, as the product of modernization the Cebuano songs also evolved in a different genre wherein the new generation can sing with; songs like “Bisan pa”, “Balay ni Mayang”, “Ayaw palabi ‘day”  and etc. are just some of the songs which are the product of the modernization.

            These songs are simply the proofs that the Cebuano literature, specifically their folk songs really evolved through time. It is not only the tune of the song which evolved but also the message of the song that the composer/singer is trying to convey to the audience.

Yes ma’am! Yes ma’am! (The students will do the activity.) (Reporting) (The student will give their answers)
These are the types of Pillows Are you ready class? Group 1, what is your guess? Let’s see if you got it right! A Euro or Continental pillow--a large square pillow that sits back against the headboard. The cover is removable for washing. Sometimes it is use as a support in your back while reading. It’s very common in our houses! Group 2 what do you think is this? A sleeping pillow is the rectangular pillow that you lay your head on when sleeping. Sleeping pillows have three sizes --standard, queen, or king--to fit your bed or sleeping habits. Next group 3 what is this? A decorative pillow, also referred to as an accent or throw pillow, is a small pillow that comes in many shapes, sizes and colors to add decoration to a bed. This is usually seen in the living room. How about this group 1? This is very common? A bolster pillow is a tubular pillow used for lumbar support while sitting up to read in bed, but more often, it’s used as a decorative pillow or accent pillow. These pillows range in size from very small to spanning the entire width of the bed. Ok, group 2, what do you think is this? This is very common! A pillowcase is used to cover a sleeping pillow, and sometimes decorative or bolster pillows. It’s normally a rectangular shape with an opening on one end where you insert the pillow. Change your pillowcase at least twice per week to protect your facial skin from breakouts or skin irritation. How about in your house do you regularly change your pillowcase? Ok very good! Thank you for sharing your experience! Group 3 do you have this in your house? What do you think is this? A pillow sham is similar to a pillowcase but it does not open on one side. Instead, it has a flange, which is an extra piece of fabric that extends from where the pillow sham is sewn on each edge. Pillow shams are often more decorative than pillowcases and more likely to have elaborate embellishes. Which is more beautiful? Pillowcases or pillow sham?
