00:00Now suddenly it's gone, I don't know where it's gone.
00:02I don't blame anyone, it's like, you've converted, right?
00:06So when any questions come out like that from my members, I will...
00:16Hello and welcome to another episode of Motif Trending.
00:20And with us today, we have Mr. Vijay in the house.
00:23Studio, make some noise!
00:30Alhamdulillah!
00:35Alright, so maybe we can start by some self-introduction.
00:38Maybe some of you don't know Vijay, right?
00:40Selamat sejahtera semua.
00:41Okay, my name is Vijay.
00:42I'm 31 years old.
00:45One year ago, in July, I sang Intifada in the car.
00:50And I posted it in the middle of the night.
00:53I didn't expect the song to go viral until a lot of social media called for it, right?
00:58Radio, Hot FM, all of them called for it, right?
01:00So I didn't expect that.
01:02That's right.
01:03So then, I proceeded to continue with it.
01:07Because it was based on the request of the netizens until now.
01:10Okay, so how did you get exposed to Nasheed's song?
01:13On the fifth floor, I was on my way to the tuition class.
01:16There was a sister at the counter who was listening to a song.
01:19Then I stopped for a while when I heard the melody.
01:23It's like, sis, I've heard this song before.
01:26Then, she didn't tell me.
01:28That's Nasheed.
01:29She just told me the title of the song, Pergi Tak Kembali.
01:31That's all she told me.
01:32Okay.
01:33After that, I memorized the song a little.
01:35And then, when I went to college.
01:37My college is an Islamic college.
01:39So, I was the only Indian in the class.
01:41Okay.
01:42So, when we went to Karuk, I brought this song too.
01:44Because in my view at that time,
01:47I wasn't very focused on the lyrics.
01:48And I thought the song was about something,
01:51separation between, in friendship or something.
01:54Until I finished Karuk,
01:56all the members were silent at that time.
01:58So, after that,
01:59do you know what song I brought?
02:00What song?
02:01That's a song about death, you know.
02:02Nasheed's song.
02:03Oh, really?
02:05So, that's how the journey started.
02:18So, what about your family?
02:19What's your family's view?
02:20Because you suddenly picked up this new interest
02:23in Nagu Nasheed.
02:24Especially if you're not a non-Muslim.
02:26Correct.
02:27How does your family accept this?
02:29Okay. Actually, I have a caretaker.
02:31Means my friends, parents.
02:33They've been taking care of me since long ago.
02:34I see.
02:35They're supportive.
02:35They're the ones who support me.
02:37So, they're okay with it.
02:38Because for me,
02:39I didn't do anything wrong.
02:41I didn't steal anything.
02:42Right.
02:43It's just a Nasheed that I brought.
02:45Something that I like, I brought.
02:46So, for now,
02:48we accept people's feedback.
02:50We only take the positive feedback.
02:52I understand.
02:53Okay.
02:54Because I've seen your video.
02:57Someone asked,
02:58because maybe they're confused, right?
03:00They see an Indian person,
03:01they bring a Nasheed song.
03:02And normally, Indian people don't bring,
03:04don't carry Nasheed songs, right?
03:05So, someone commented on your post and said,
03:08I'm sorry to ask,
03:09are you Indian or Malay?
03:12Then, I saw your reply.
03:14Sis, I'm a Korean from Samban.
03:17I'm not a Muslim.
03:19I'm a Korean.
03:22Korean from Samban.
03:24I was like,
03:25why?
03:26What made you reply like that?
03:29I'm not angry.
03:30That's my general answer to everything.
03:32Okay, it's a joke.
03:34It's a joke.
03:35Even when it's live,
03:36I'll answer the same thing.
03:38I understand.
03:38Somehow, they know that I'm Indian.
03:40That's why I use Subang, right?
03:41Because it's rare to see a Malay person.
03:43That's right.
03:45Ya Rasul, peace be upon you.
03:49Ya Habib, peace be upon you.
03:53So, what are your thoughts on this as a non-Muslim?
03:57This Nasheed song talks a lot about Islam,
04:00obviously, and talks about God.
04:03And it's of a different faith from you, right?
04:06What are your thoughts on Nasheed songs,
04:08this genre?
04:10I don't know why.
04:11I just like it.
04:12And I just bring it.
04:13I don't mind.
04:14As long as,
04:16my point of view is,
04:18my concept is,
04:20we respect their religion.
04:22And we bring it in a good way.
04:24It's not like,
04:25we put Nasheed songs and dance to it.
04:27So, we bring it in a proper way.
04:29So, they accept it.
04:31For more than a year, people have accepted it.
04:33So, I just continue.
04:35For me, I respect the religion of Islam.
04:38And I also respect the songs.
04:40Because not all the songs are about God.
04:42Some are about family.
04:44Some are about why.
04:46There are many concepts in Nasheed songs.
04:48I see.
05:13Nasheed!
05:15I know,
05:16people who sing Nasheed songs,
05:18the industry is quite small.
05:20And most of them are very Islamic.
05:23In that sense, right?
05:24So, when they found out
05:26that you have
05:28an interest in singing Nasheed songs,
05:31you posted videos of you singing online, etc.
05:34What is the view of the Nasheed industry
05:36towards VJ?
05:38So, at first, I felt like,
05:40well, for me, they are really Islamic.
05:43So, I felt like,
05:45will they be okay if they meet us?
05:47Will they accept us?
05:49So, the first time I met
05:51the Rabani team was at Hot FM.
05:53When I was singing,
05:55I was singing, I was sure I would close my eyes.
05:57I don't know why,
05:58I heard a loud voice.
05:59I thought,
06:00the people there, AJ, Fafa,
06:01were all singing together.
06:02It turned out,
06:03when I opened my eyes,
06:04the Rabani squad came in.
06:05So, that was the first time I met them.
06:09Then,
06:10they were all very, very supportive.
06:12Very good.
06:13And then,
06:14after that, I got a few,
06:16like, I went to a concert,
06:19a Nasheed concert as well.
06:21Then, there, I got to meet
06:23other Nasheed teams,
06:24like Hijaz, Intim,
06:26UNIC,
06:28all of them were okay.
06:29They were all chill.
06:30So, when they met,
06:31it was like they met Hijaz.
06:32He would go,
06:33Rasulullah.
06:35I was the one who was silent.
06:36That means he knew
06:37that I had brought his song.
06:38So, I was the one who was like,
06:39eh.
06:40So, he invited me,
06:41and we kept talking like that.
06:42Then,
06:43last year,
06:44I was invited to go to a mosque,
06:47or something,
06:48just because they were doing
06:49a Nasheed concert outside.
06:50So, we went,
06:51because they invited us,
06:52we went.
06:53Then,
06:54the following week,
06:55at the same place,
06:56Rawang,
06:57another mosque,
06:58when Hijaz went,
07:00I was invited,
07:01so I went.
07:02Then,
07:03he asked me to bring
07:04an acapella for Rasulullah.
07:05So,
07:06I took that as a blessing.
07:07So,
07:08that means,
07:09what I want to convey is that
07:10they can accept that.
07:11Then,
07:12like I said earlier,
07:13as long as we respect
07:14their religion,
07:15and we know
07:16what we do,
07:17we take care of everything,
07:18it's okay.
07:19When I go there,
07:20I will open these pots,
07:21because I respect
07:22their religion.
07:38Okay,
07:39here comes my hot question.
07:41So, this question is,
07:42in the Nasheed genre,
07:44they have accepted it,
07:45right?
07:46In terms of comments,
07:47it can't always be positive.
07:49There must be negative comments.
07:50That's right.
07:51Some people must say,
07:52he's not a Muslim.
07:53Suddenly, he brought a Nasheed song.
07:55There must be an ulterior motive.
07:57Why did he bring it?
07:59Have you received that kind of comments?
08:00Yes, I have.
08:01When we did a live,
08:02for example,
08:03he asked,
08:04he brought it because
08:06he wants to get a lot of Malaysian followers.
08:10At first,
08:11I thought,
08:12in a live,
08:13for example,
08:14there are more than 200 people,
08:15not everyone will say that.
08:17There are two people, right?
08:18So, at first,
08:19I will look at their comments.
08:21Because usually,
08:22when I do a live,
08:23I will sing the majority.
08:24So, when I sing,
08:25I will close my eyes.
08:26I won't read the comments.
08:27Unless I see someone
08:28replying to someone
08:29or someone's comment.
08:30For example,
08:31we need fame,
08:33I can do a live
08:34every day.
08:35Because when we do a live every day,
08:36we will get income.
08:37We know,
08:38when we do a live on TikTok.
08:39But I am a lazy person
08:40to do a live.
08:41I will do it
08:42when I feel like doing it.
08:44So,
08:45my intention is
08:46when I feel like singing,
08:47I will do it.
08:48We just bring it.
08:49We see which one
08:50can be accepted,
08:51we just bring it.
08:52Those comments,
08:53I'm used to it.
08:55But not a lot.
08:56But I'm used to it.
08:57Alright.
08:58So, it's a good thing,
08:59obviously,
09:00the industry,
09:01Nasheed,
09:02accept Jay
09:03in their field
09:04and everything.
09:05But what about
09:06Jay's community?
09:07Okay.
09:08This is a dangerous question.
09:09They are okay.
09:10In the beginning,
09:11they support.
09:12And at one point,
09:13I don't blame anyone.
09:14For example,
09:15you are a Chinese.
09:16Suddenly,
09:17you bring Nasheed,
09:18he's tall.
09:19I will,
09:20I will be like,
09:21does he want to convert?
09:22But,
09:23I prefer
09:24you ask the question
09:25in a good way
09:26so that I can explain.
09:27Instead of you
09:28coming out
09:29with a speculation
09:30like,
09:31you have converted,
09:32what kind of question
09:33comes out like that
09:34from the members,
09:35I will be like,
09:36yes, it's true.
09:37I have converted.
09:38The name of Islam,
09:39I have thought about it.
09:40I will think about
09:41something ridiculous
09:42at that time
09:43and I will continue.
09:44For me,
09:45I don't need
09:46to explain
09:47that thing
09:48in detail
09:49unless
09:50you ask
09:51in a good way.
09:52So,
09:53from me,
09:54my friends,
09:55everyone,
09:56there are those who support.
09:57There are those who support
09:58in the beginning.
09:59Now, suddenly,
10:00it's gone.
10:01I don't need to force
10:02other people
10:03to sing my religious songs
10:04because that's something
10:05that I'm interested in.
10:06And,
10:07how many Indian people
10:08can you find
10:09to sing this Nasir song?
10:10It can't be like
10:11everyone else.
10:12I'm the only one
10:13who's bringing it.
10:14So, we can't expect
10:15other people.
10:16It's good to ask
10:17before you judge.
10:18So, I prefer
10:19you ask first.
10:20Ask in a good way.
10:21We will explain
10:22what is happening.
10:31The hidden enemy
10:35Also, we actually
10:36checked out your comments
10:37and everything.
10:38There are many
10:39who commented
10:40in your comment section
10:41and prayed
10:42for you to enter Islam
10:43and everything.
10:44What are your thoughts
10:45on that,
10:46personally?
10:47In the beginning,
10:48when people comment
10:49or when we meet,
10:50people usually
10:51say,
10:52hopefully,
10:53you'll get guidance.
10:54At first,
10:55I was like,
10:56why are all the comments
10:57the same?
10:58Then, at one point,
10:59what I realized is
11:00he told us
11:01hopefully,
11:02you'll get guidance
11:03is a prayer from him.
11:04He didn't tell us
11:05hopefully,
11:06you'll become a robber,
11:07a thief,
11:08a thief.
11:09He prayed
11:10for something good
11:11from his side.
11:12The majority
11:13of my friends
11:14are Malays.
11:15And,
11:16my Malays friends
11:17won't ask me
11:18such questions
11:19until now
11:20because they know
11:21how I am.
11:22So, if you're
11:23friends with me,
11:24of course,
11:25you know
11:26my character,
11:27my circle.
11:28So, they won't
11:29ask me such questions
11:30unless
11:31they're just
11:32joking around.
11:33So,
11:34people who say
11:35hopefully,
11:36you'll get guidance,
11:37they don't know me.
11:38So,
11:39their prayers,
11:40their perspective,
11:41their speech,
11:42that's their own.
11:43Then,
11:44it depends on us
11:45whether we want to accept
11:46it or not.
11:47That's it.
11:48Fair enough.
11:49Maybe you can
11:50share some
11:51new songs
11:52that you've memorized
11:53recently.
11:54Can you share
11:55one?
11:56Have you memorized
11:57any new songs?
11:58I've been singing
11:59all day.
12:00I even sang
12:01Rashid's song.
12:02Just a little bit.
12:03So, I brought
12:04a song from
12:05Raihan's group.
12:06It's called
12:07Syukur.
12:08Okay.
12:29Nice, bro.
12:30Other than Rashid's song,
12:31what other songs
12:32or genres
12:33do you like?
12:34What other genres
12:35do you like to listen to?
12:36You didn't bring Rashid's song,
12:37did you?
12:38No, I did.
12:39I brought other songs.
12:40But,
12:41when I was focusing on Rashid,
12:42I didn't even listen
12:43to the Tamil song.
12:44The reason
12:45I memorized Rashid's song
12:46is because
12:47people always request it
12:48on live
12:49or in our comments.
12:50So,
12:51I don't know the song.
12:52I only know
12:53Rashid's song.
12:54So,
12:55I only know Rashid's song.
12:56So,
12:57if there's a song
12:58that I don't know
12:59or it's not on my phone,
13:00I'll screenshot it
13:01and download it.
13:02To memorize it,
13:03we have to keep on listening.
13:04That's right.
13:05Even last time,
13:06when I went viral,
13:07I was listening to Rashid's song
13:08in the toilet.
13:09My housemates
13:10were all laughing.
13:11Someone said,
13:12you can't listen to Rashid's song
13:13in the toilet.
13:14After that,
13:15he didn't tell me why.
13:16After that,
13:17I googled it.
13:18So,
13:19he told me
13:20it's a holy word.
13:21So,
13:22we respect it.
13:23So,
13:24we won't listen to it there.
13:25In other places,
13:26I understand.
13:27So,
13:28with constant exposure
13:29to Rashid's songs,
13:30and your passion
13:31is singing,
13:32and the genre
13:33that you're comfortable with
13:34now is Rashid,
13:35didn't you think
13:36about making
13:37your own Rashid's song
13:38or maybe collaborate
13:39with like
13:40Rabbani for example
13:41that you've met before
13:42or like,
13:43you know,
13:44those other Rashid bands
13:45or groups
13:46that you've met before?
13:47My son is one of
13:48the members of
13:49Kumpulan Hijaz.
13:50His name is Faizal Hijaz.
13:51So, he has four members.
13:52So, Faizal Hijaz,
13:53his son's name is
13:54Fatih Salim
13:55So,
13:56I'm close
13:57with Fatih.
13:58So, recently
13:59we've recorded a song
14:00a song
14:01from Hijaz
14:02a song called
14:03Salam Kemaafan,
14:04a Raya song.
14:05We recorded it
14:06fully with
14:07music video.
14:08That was my first
14:09recording of Rashid's song.
14:13Like, first
14:14professional Rashid's song
14:15recording.
14:16Even though it was
14:17just a cover.
14:18But,
14:19it was my first
14:20and it was with Fatih.
14:21Fatih is trending
14:22with his song Kembalilah.
14:23Fatih,
14:25So,
14:30But, here comes
14:31my next question though.
14:32So,
14:33if you want to
14:34write Rashid's song
14:35for example,
14:36you want to
14:37make that song
14:38and most of
14:39the songs are
14:40about God
14:41and obviously
14:42like relationships
14:43between family
14:44or whatever.
14:45You have to include
14:46Islamic elements
14:47in it, right?
14:48But,
14:49you're not
14:50a Muslim.
14:51So,
14:52if you want to
14:53include your
14:54personal experience
14:55in Rashid's song,
14:56If I want to
14:57write it,
14:58of course,
14:59I will check
15:00with all of
15:01Rashid's members
15:02that I know.
15:03I will contact
15:04all of them
15:05and check
15:06if the lyrics
15:07are correct
15:08or if I need to
15:09change it or
15:10whatever.
15:11Because usually
15:12I will refer
15:13to them
15:14for example.
15:15Because Rashid
15:16sometimes has
15:17Arabic elements
15:18in it.
15:19Arabic is hard
15:20to learn, right?
15:21I've heard
15:22that there's
15:23an Arabic element
15:24in Rashid's song.
15:25So,
15:26I will check
15:27with them
15:28if the lyrics
15:29are correct.
15:30Because
15:31when we look
15:32at the translation
15:33on Google,
15:34the Arabic
15:35element
15:36will be written
15:37in Arabic
15:38and not
15:39in Malay.
15:40So,
15:41I will check
15:42with them
15:43if the lyrics
15:44are correct.
15:45I understand.
15:46Cool, cool, cool.
15:47So,
15:48who among
15:49Rashid's
15:50fans
15:51are you?
15:52Okay,
15:53five.
15:54So,
15:55like
15:56UNIC,
15:57Intim,
15:58Hijaz,
15:59Rabani,
16:00Raihan.
16:01Rashid
16:02is because
16:03of them.
16:04Because
16:05they're a big
16:06team.
16:07So,
16:08because of them
16:09there are
16:10a lot of
16:11Rashid's
16:12songs that
16:13are interesting.
