Sheikh Ali Jaber is a scholar who is greatly admired for his humble nature. No wonder if his death has hurting many people. Many scholars cried over the sad news.

There is one interesting thing that I heard, when he was still alive. As an Arab he came all the way to Indonesia, and a few years later he finally officially became an Indonesian citizen. This country seems to attract the bright lanterns of that distant land.

While on the other hand, many Indonesian people are competing to appear like Arabian. Maybe they also want to be an Arabian, ironic indeed. Just do it, as long as it doesn't disturb other people.
