Regardless of whatever comments everyone has left in this post, I feel some storm brewing up here. Spooky Corner does not mean to insult anyone’s religion or holy place and this story was just written as the way the person that told me this story. Sincere apologies if anyone has felt insulted.

As much as I believe in ghosts, I believe in respecting everyone’s religion be it muslim or hindus or even jews. We all have our own religion and something I believe each and everyone of us hold strong to. Our individual practices are as different as our individual opinions. The reason why I had approved each of these comment because I believe in the freedom of speech. I hope I would not need to take the extent to shut off all comments for this post… Really, in case a storm REALLY REALLY brews up. I seen countries fighting over religion and I don’t think I need another one here.

Let’s just stick to the fact everyone is here to be entertained by other people’s spooky experience. There may be those out there that are still skeptics or the believers and the non believers but whatever reason you are here in Spooky Corner is to be entertained, right?

Peace

I know it’s been pretty long since the last post (which is on 28th August, 08).

But just want to strengthen the statement that suraus, mosques, any praying area for the Muslims aren’t considered to be “haunted” at all. The fact that they’re also the places for cleaning/bathing the dead ones doesn’t support why we should label these places as so-called haunted. Why do you think so? I don’t see it that way.

And there shouldn’t be any wandering spirit, poltergeist, any supernaturalistic things whatsoever near the mosques and suraus. Because these places are solely built for the purpose of worship and protection. Ghosts, spirits don’t hang around near these spots where goodness, pureness, sincereness to God are all that matter to us. Supernatural things will be easily defeated by the Azan (call for prayer), people reading the Quran, doing religious activities and others related. Strong in the heart alone can beat fear itself. I can’t recall back seeing “different than usual” things becoz we all have been to the mosques/suraus before many times to perform daily/Jumaat prayers. It’s how we (Muslims) think. And we consider it true. But even we Muslims cannot maintain the strength in our hearts, and we are constantly influenced by the devil’s wishes. We humans are all equal regardless of different religions.

As stated on the posts before me (thanks!), non-Muslims should care to cover up their attires before entering suraus/mosques. That’s just one of the natural rules under any circumstance. And behavior matters too.

Some questions toward the storyteller – Are you sure you weren’t hallucinating? I don’t know but humans are prone to imagination and hallucination. Because you know, it was 2 am and it was dark. You were a little tired/excited maybe. Maybe it’s not really blood. Toilets near suraus are always maintained clean. (Insight – I’m also prone to such hallucinations).

So just stick to the restrictions and thoughts and you’ll be fine, not just here but everywhere. Anyway I’ve mentioned the line “strong in the heart alone can beat fear itself”. Sometimes I can do it, MOST of the time .. I can’t. So just like you guys, I’ll be really scared if I encounter scary moments. I rather not to take any risk. ;D

Thank you. Sorry for being so serious.

Just felt like to explain..to every person who read through the post in this website…so that all of you can have a clear idea and not to be misunderstood…^_^

A local Newapaper once reported that a 4D punter striked Jackpot by praying to them and later thankd them by praying to them a hearthy feast of chicken, rice, fruits, drinks and of course Joss Papers.

So you see not all of them are bad. Apparently they just existed in another Dimension, another Vibration level, another Light World.

Our eyes cannot see everything, ie. we cannot see music, virus and wind. Hence what oue eyes cannot see does not mean there is nothing there.

Our Mobile-phone is the best example……can you see who are you talking too……..in the 1970s you will be despised as a Mad-man talking to the Ghosts. But now all cannot live without one too.

Mebbe sometimes in the not to distant future Man can REALLY talk to Ghosts via 010101- ??????? and perhaps check his Bank Underworld account too.

First of all, let me get this straight. Suraus and Masjids are both the place to perform the prayer, and sometimes when a death occurs in a family, we’ll take the deceased to the surau or masjid for the process of bathe/clean and kafan the body. Kafan is the process of covering the body with white cloth called kain kafan. There’s a special place for the process and the place is actually within the mosque compound, not inside the prayer room.

Secondly, Suraus and Masjids are considered as a holy place, because us muslims refer to this place as The House of God (ALLAH). It is our duty to keep the place clean at all times, especially the praying area. They must be respected at all times. So, in this story, I assume that the narrator herself isn’t a muslim and so are her friends. I believe this incident happened because her friends didn’t respect the place, by barging in without covering the aurats. I’m not saying that non-muslims cannot enter the area but there are restrictions. For example, you can’t enter the place wearing shorts or tight fitting clothes; this goes to both men and women. More specific, the women must cover their hair and neck, cannot show both arms, only the hands can be seen. The hair, neck, arm, knees shins are what we called aurat. This particular area must be covered when you’re in the surau compound. Oh, and menstruating women are definitely not allowed within this area. Please keep that in mind.

Finally, I hope I’ve corrected those misunderstandings. The holy place aren’t haunted, it’s just that you have to respect these places. So, the next time you need to use the toliet in the surau area, you should remember to cover those we call aurats. Just a friendly reminder, thanks.
