Why AIMD?
AIMD is the abbreviation for “Anak Iluh sung Mag-Duktur” (literally translated: An orphaned child who
wanted to become a doctor someday). This blog was known as "Anak-iluh" then "Anakiluh blog" then "Anakiluh, MD" and eventually "AIMD" for 6 years until the author finally (again) changed its name to "Ahmad ibnu Hajiri" or "A.Hajiri".
What’s this all about? (Content)
A.Hajiri Blog is a collection of
essays and write-ups by Ahmad, a young Tausug Blogger (and a big dreamer)
from Sulu. Most of the contents in this blog would revolve around any one of
the following topics:
- Personal experiences on: Life of a medstudent,
being a Tausug youth, being a Muslim, and the daily things that may or may not
have important lessons in the author's own simple life;
- Anything about Sulu (Hidden history, places,
etc.) and the Tausugs (language, traits, traditions, etc.);
- Some topics on Islam (answers to common
questions by non-Muslims); and
- A lot of random essays
So, why was A.Hajiri created, again? (Purpose)
A.Hajiri is trying to meet the
following purposes (yes, may purpose na rin ang blog na to, finally): In sha
Allah to:
- Share the author’s thoughts, ideas, experiences,
and opinions;
- Promote Sulu’s hidden beauty
- Eradicate common misconception on Sulu, Islam,
the Tausugs, and the Muslims as a whole;
- Promote the culture of “seeking for knowledge
and struggle for change” in the hearts of the Tausug youths;
- An avenue for the author to practice and improve
his writing skills;
- Just an avenue to release the tension within a
frustrated writer’s works;
