Honestly speaking right, I also have doubts about these people being involved with this syirik practices..
But then right I am also a muslim, a follower of Islam.

I was taught not to comment on other people’s actions.
I don’t mean to criticize you guys if thats what u are thinking..

For me, I enjoy the song.. I also get scared and shocked when these people carry out their practices of eating glass and everything..
Once, I talked to my mum about it..
She gave her honest opinion and said what they are doing is what they believe is the seni which they want to bring across and expose to the people..
However, Even though it is syirik, we believe that it is all a matter of the strength of our Nawaitu..
Niat seseorang dalam agama sambil melakukan hal2 syirik ini semua adalah pada nawaitu nye sendiri..
Kami tidak patut memberi comment atau memberi sembarang pengajaran..

Paling seket yng kami harus lakukan adalah untuk terima niat seseorang untuk melakukan sesuatu..
Lama-kelamaan, mereka akan sedar perbuatan mereka dengan izin Allah S.W.T yng Maha Esa..

I just saw one performance this afternoon under a void deck across my block. I’ve seen the rasok jin kuda kepang many years back when i was young. Thing this the first i’ve seen these days. I thought it has long been gone, not any more practiced by the malay muslim in our country as it is against the teaching of Islam. This leads to syirik.

There are 4 horsemen, hypnotized by the jin, prancing around on their horses, eating glass and grass. One of them even peel of the coconut husk and make a hole using his bare teeth and drink the coconut juice.
Ladies played the hypnotic gamelan.

I do hope these people realised and stop from practicing this kind of kuda kepang. They can just do without the jins, makan kaca and makan rumput thingi. That would be a very nice piece of art performance which we can be proud of, besides silat and tarian.

Mereka yang terlibat, yang melakukan upacara seumpama ini berkeyakinan bahawa jin-jin itu berupaya menolong manusia, memelihara manusia dan membolehkan para pemain menari berkeyakinan bahawa makhluk ini mempunyai kekuatan atau kudrah untuk berbuat demikian, padahal zat yang berkuasa atau mempunyai kudrah yang sebenar ialah Allah.

Dengan demikian ini bererti bahawa orang yang berkenaan telah menyamakan kudrah Allah dengan kudrah makhluk yang baru, iaitu jin-jin yang dipuja datang itu.

Perbuatan ini dinamakan “syirik” atau syirik dalam sebutan lidah Melayu. Orang yang terlibat dengan perbuatan seumpama ini dinamakan “musyrik” sekiranya seorang ataupun musyrikin atau musyrikun sekiranya mereka ramai. Dosa syirik tidak diampuni oleh Allah.

Allah menjelaskan bahawa amalan seperti ini, di mana manusia itu memohon perlindungan kepada jin-jin memang wujud. Maka jin-jin itu akan menambahkan lagi kesesatan mereka. Dalam surah al-Jinn: 6 dijelaskan: Dan bahawasanya ada beberapa orang lelaki kalangan jin, maka jin-jin itu menambahkan mereka dosa dan kesalahan.

Dalam surah an-Nisa’: 38 dijelaskan: Barang siapa syaitan itu menjadi temannya maka syaitan itu adalah seburuk-buruk teman.

1. very keliru abit, some ppl will say syirik, its an act of syaitan (JIN). MUIS should banned i suppose lah..

2. ayat al-quran…yes memang benar..ayat yang kami guna kan memang ayat alquran… partly what i can say, tiada daya dan upaya, hanya lan dgn izin ALLAH SWT.

3. kesian sometimes budak budak ni, ketua mereka tak jelas kan pada them dgn terang..

4. blood keluar hmmm meaning org tu badan tak bersih…

5. finally what i can say, ini ada lah diri dan hati masing masing..dengan apa saja yg kita laku kan. sekira nya ia salah MUIS should banned it.. kalau tak MUIS yg bertanggung jawab..
