Reflections From Japan

Ahmed message is to live a balanced life, the same message as what Plato, Aristotle and the prophets said. “Be good in this life, never hurt anyone, perfect your work, and eventually this will come back to you as good on Earth and after death”.


In his program, Ahmed always says that he is not a scholar but a simple human being who just speaks his mind out and has hopes for the Arab and Islamic world to improve in all levels, economically, financially, socially.


His fifth season of the show Khawater “Reflections” which was aired last Ramadan was all from Japan. So he had 30 episodes about the Japanese culture, morals and manners and the Japanese work ethic.




He was aiming at showing the Arab world how the Japanese people are implementing a lot of the things that we “Arabs” are just preaching.

For example, we preach in our schools that cleanliness is a major part of the believer. However, you see the streets in the Arab world, a lot of is just a mess because we're not practicing this virtue of cleanliness.

He was showing the Arab world how the Japanese were able to have extremely clean streets and how they are implementing these morals.




Basically, he was talking about how these moral prescriptions offered by the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) are being carried out in an entirely non-Islamic environment because these commandments are universal “you don't have to believe in Prophet Mohammed to be clean!” .Ahmed said

He wanted to ask the Arab world, if the Prophet Mohammed came today, who will he see implementing his teachings more, the Japanese or the Muslim world???


This Ramadan, Shugairi is focusing on the Muslim world of the Middle Ages through visiting different countries such as Malaysia, Egypt, Turkey, Spain, Emirates and the UK.
