Why Yoga was banned in Malaysia? The reasoning was based on Islamic truth.
Generally speaking there are two types of truths one of it, is the truth based on our faith which grounded based on religion and culture. The other truth is the real truth i.e the absolute truth which we are trying to seek from philosophy.
In religion and cultural truth we MUST accept the truth without any conditions or questions. Therefore the truth is absolute in the eye of the faith, culture or religion. The moment we doubt it, it amount to putting our own shoe in our mouth. Therefore generally we own doubt or question our belief system and religion. This concept is known as subjective or relative truths.
In contrast for absolute truth we doubt everything it is like a process of ‘no stone is unturned’. This will be a pain sticking process for those have relied on subjective or relative truths.
Based on this premise by declaring Yoga as Haram it is only reflecting subjective or relative truth and not absolute truth. So, the absolute truth is still on the air. Is yoga ought to be dealer as haram? Yes in the perspective of subjective or relative truth and NO in the eyes of absolute truth. So enjoy doing it.

In my opinion, truth is truth no matter it is subjective/relative truth or absolute/real truth. Every single truth must be doubted, this is the way of human seek for the answer for truth. Without doubting it, no one able to look for the answer of truth for life. Question here, even though i am not a muslim, but i am living in a muslim country, do i need to follow and do not question the subjective or relative truth led by culture and religion? Moreover, truth should be followed and not to be questioned by all of us or part of us? If the truth only accepted by part of us, then is that a real truth should be supported? Lastly, what is the REAL TRUTH of life and agreed by all of us, example.?
