To Those Who Curse, Remember 'Kun Fayakun' - Azad Jasmin

Malaysian actor and radio personality Azad Jasmin has strongly condemned netizens who have posted excessively harsh and insulting comments about his eldest daughter, Ammara Sophie Rose, during her appearance on the second season of the program 'Talk To My Manager.'

“

There is one comment I saw, I replied. It wrote 'The child is stupid, the father is stupid.' That is no longer the level of giving advice, that is already excessive.

Azad, affectionately known as Pak Azad, revealed that some individuals have not only insulted his family but also questioned the talent of his 13-year-old daughter. He shared one particularly offensive comment that read, 'The child is stupid, the father is stupid.' Azad emphasized that such remarks go beyond mere advice and constitute extreme disrespect. He also addressed accusations that he used 'connections' ('kabel') and faced demands for his daughter to sing ballad songs. Azad asserted his position as both father and manager, stating he is best equipped to understand his daughter's strengths and weaknesses and will not yield to netizens' pressure regarding her musical genre choices.

There were also those who accused me of using 'kabel' and told my child to sing ballads. I am her father and manager, I know her strengths and weaknesses better.

Azad expressed his deep hurt as a father seeing such comments directed at his child, especially considering the difficult birth of Ammara. His wife, Iera Syazira, underwent a Cesarean section due to the baby weighing 4.9 kilograms. He recounted witnessing his wife's multiple surgeries and his own emotional response, making the criticism of his daughter particularly painful. Despite the emotional impact, Azad stated that these criticisms ultimately strengthen his family. He attributes this resilience to lessons learned from his late father on facing challenges, which has prepared him to handle such negativity without significant distress.

As a father who saw his wife cut open multiple times, I cried watching how she gave birth. Would I not be hurt if people insulted my child?

Furthermore, Azad issued a stern warning to social media users, urging them to exercise caution in their words, referencing the Islamic concept 'kun fayakun' (meaning 'be, and it is') to imply that divine retribution or consequences are inevitable. He cautioned that the negative example set by some online comments could negatively influence a 13-year-old. He advised those who frequently curse on social media to remember his words, suggesting that similar negative experiences might befall their own families in the future. He concluded with a somewhat ominous prediction that they might even 'dream of my face' one day, 'Insya-Allah.' Previously, Azad and his wife had publicly defended their daughter against online attacks, including wishes for her elimination from the competition.

But for me, these criticisms actually strengthen us every day. It will not shake me and my wife because we were trained by my late father to face various challenges, so I have no problem.
