Israk Mikraj and the Significance of the Attahiyyat in our Solat

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Dear Muslims,

Have you ever wondered about the sayings in the Attahiyat Awal and Attahiyat Akhir that we have to recite during our Solat?

I have been studying about this matter for quite some time and I reflect back to the Israk and Mikraj of our beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam from Kaabah, Baitullah in Makkah al Mukarramah to the Masjidil Al Aqsa in Baitulmaqdis.

We have all studied and learned from the Hadiths of our Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam about the manner by which the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam was taken by Jibreel Alaihis Salam, the Archangel of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala through the Heavens to Allah’s Presence.

The Night journey and the Ascension of Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam

Source : http://www.sunna.info/Lessons/islam_365.html

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of t he Worlds, the One Who exists without a place. To Him belong all the endowments and proper commendations.

May Allah raise the rank of Prophet Muhammad and his kind Companions and protect his nation from what he fears for them.

May the Lord of the Heavens and this Earth grant us the sincere intentions and guide us to the acceptable deeds.

Thereafter, Allah sent the prophets as a mercy to the slaves and supported them with miracles to indicate the truthfulness of their message.

Of all the prophets, our Prophet, Muhammad, Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam was blessed with the most miracles.

Al-Isra’ and al-Mi’raj are among the many miracles of Prophet Muhammad, Khatamun Nabiyyi, the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

The miracle of al-Isra’ is confirmed in the Qur’an.

In Surat al-Isra’, 1st Ayah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:

1. Subhana allathee asra biAAabdihi laylan mina almasjidi alharami ila almasjidi al-aqsa allathee barakna hawlahu linuriyahu min ayatina innahu huwa alssameeAAu albaseeru

1. Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).

which means: [Praise be to Allah Who enabled His slave, Muhammad, to make the journey at night from Masjid al-Haram in Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, which is surrounded a blessed land.]

This journey is also confirmed in the sahih hadith. As such, there is scholarly consensus (ijma^) Prophet Muhammad journeyed in body and soul the night of al-Isra’ from Masjid al-Haram in Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsain Jerusalem.

Moreover, these scholars indicated the person who denies al-Isra’ is a blasphemer for belying the explicit text of the Qur’an.

Before the Prophet took this night journey, the ceiling of the house in which he was staying was opened, and Jibril descended.

He cut open the chest of Prophet Muhammad and washed that open area with Zamzam water.

Then he emptied something from a container into the chest of the Prophet to increase his wisdom as well as the strength of his belief. This was done to prepare the Messenger of Allah for that which he had yet to see in the upper world from among the wonders of the creation of Allah.

Al-Isra’

After the Prophet performed the Evening Prayer (^Isha’), Jibril came to him with a white animal, slightly larger than a donkey yet smaller than a mule. This animal was the Buraq,–one of the makhluk @ creatures of Paradise.

Jibril held the buraq by his ear and told the Prophet to mount it. When the buraq was mounted, the Prophet set forth.

The buraq is a very fast animal; the length of the buraq’s stride is the farthest distance it’s eye can see.

The Prophet and Jibril arrived to a land with palm trees. Jibril told the Prophet to dismount and pray, so the Prophet dismounted the buraq and prayed two rak'as.

Jibril asked him, “Do you know where you prayed?” and the Prophet answered, “Allah knows best.” Jibril told him, “This is Yathrib; this is Taybah. “.” (These are two names for the city of al-Madinah.)

Before the Prophet emigrated to al-Madinah, it was called Taybah and Yathrib. It earned the name al-Madinah after the Prophet emigrated to it.

The buraq continued with the Prophet and Jibril until they reached another place. Again Jibril told the Prophet to get down and pray. The Prophet dismounted there and prayed two rak’as. Jibril informed the Prophet of the name of that place; it was Tur Sina’.

Once again the buraq took off with the Prophet and Jibril. Once again it stopped, and the Prophet dismounted and prayed two rak'as.

This was in Bayt Lahm, where Prophet Isa (Jesus) was born. Then the buraq continued with the Messenger of Allah until they entered the city of Jerusalem.

There the Prophet went to Masjid al-Aqsa. Outside was a ring used by the Messengers of Allah to tie their animals.

The Prophet tied his buraq to this ring.

Then the Prophet entered the masjid where Allah assembled for him all the Prophets–from Adam to Isa.

Prophet Muhammad moved forward and led them all in prayer. This is an indication that the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam is higher in status than all the rest of the prophets and messengers and is their Imam.

1- On Prophet Muhammad’s journey from Masjid al-Haram to Masjid al-Aqsa, Allah enabled him to see some of His wondrous creations.

Allah enabled the Prophet to see the world (dunya) like an old woman. However, this old woman was wearing a great deal of jewelry, and in this there is an indication signifying the reality of the world.

2- Allah enabled the Prophet to see Iblis. The Prophet saw something on the side of the road which did not dare to stand in his way or speak to him. What the Prophet saw was Iblis.

Originally, Iblis was a believer and lived with the angels in Paradise. When Allah ordered the angels to prostrate (sujud) to Prophet Adam, Iblis was ordered to prostrate to him as well. The angels prostrated to Adam in obedience to Allah, because angels do not disobey Allah.

However, Iblis did not obey, and he objected to the order of Allah. He said, “You created me out of fire, and You created him out of clay. How do You order me to prostrate to him?” So this objection by Iblis to the order of Allah was the first blasphemy he committed.

3- On his journey, the Prophet smelled a very nice odor. He asked Jibril about this pleasant scent and Jibril informed him this good smell was coming from the grave of the woman whose duty used to be to comb Pharaoh’s daughter’s hair.

This woman was a good, pious believer. One day, as she was combing Pharaoh’s daughter’s hair, the comb fell from her hand. At this she said, “Bismillah.” Pharaoh’s daughter asked her, “Do you have a god other than my father?” The woman said, “Yes. My Lord and the Lord of your father is Allah.”

Pharaoh’s daughter told her father what had happened. Pharaoh demanded this woman blaspheme and leave Islam, but she refused. At that, Pharaoh threatened to kill her children. He brought a great pot of water and built a great fire under it.

When the water boiled, Pharaoh brought her children and started to drop them into that pot one after the other.

Throughout all this, the woman remained steadfast to Islam, even when Pharaoh reached her youngest child–a little boy still breast feeding–but she felt pity for him. At that, Allah enabled this child to speak.

He said to his mother, “O Mother, be patient. The torture of the Hereafter is far more severe than the torture of this life, and do not be reluctant, because you are right.”

At this the woman requested Pharaoh collect her bones and the bones of her children and bury them in the same grave.

Pharaoh promised her that–then dropped her into that boiling water. She died as a martyr. The good odor the Prophet smelled coming from her grave is an indication of her high status.

4- During his trip, the Prophet saw people who were planting and reaping in two days. Jibril told the Prophet, “These were the people who fight for the sake of Allah (mujahidun).

5- The Prophet also saw people whose lips and tongues were clipped with scissors made of fire. Jibril told the Prophet, “These are the speakers of sedition (fitna) who call people to misguidance.”

6- He also saw a bull which exited a very small outlet, then was trying in vain to return through that small outlet. Jibril told the Prophet, “This is the example of the bad word–once spoken, it cannot be returned.”

7- The Prophet saw people grazing like animals, with very little clothing on their private parts. Jibril told the Prophet, “These are the ones who refused to pay zakat. “.

8- The Prophet saw angels smashing some people’s heads with rocks. These heads would return to the shape they had been, and then the angels would smash their heads again–and so on. Jibril told the Prophet, “These are the ones whose heads felt too heavy to perform prayer–the ones who used to sleep without praying.”

9- On his journey the Prophet saw people who were competing to eat some rotten meat–ignoring meat that was sliced and unspoiled. Jibril told the Prophet, “These are people from your nation who leave out that which is permissible (halal), and consume that which is forbidden ((haram). “This reference was to the fornicators, that is, the ones who left out the permissible (marriage) and committed sins (fornication).

10- Also, the Prophet saw people who were drinking from the fluid coming from the bodies of the fornicators, (water mixed with blood). Jibril indicated to the Prophet these were the ones who were drinking the alcohol which is prohibited in this world.

11- The Prophet saw people scratching their faces and chests with brass finger nails. Jibril said, “These are the examples of those who commit gossip ((ghibah).

Al-Mi’raj

1- After the Prophet took this night journey from Masjid al-Haram to Masjid al-Aqsa, he ascended to the upper heavens. The Prophet ascended to the heaven on stairs, called al-mirqat, in which one step is made of gold and the next of silver, and so on. These stairs are veiled from us.

The Prophet ascended these stairs until he reached the first heaven. When the Prophet and Jibril arrived at the first heaven, Jibril requested the gate to be opened.

The angel assigned to that gate asked Jibril, “Who is with you?” Jibril answered, “It is Muhammad.”

The angel asked Jibril, “Was he dispatched? Is it time for him to ascend to the heaven?” Jibril said, “Yes.” So, the gate was opened for him, and Prophet Muhammad entered the first heaven.

There, Prophet Muhammad saw Prophet Adam. To Adam’s right, the Prophet saw some bodies, and to Adam’s left, other bodies.

If Adam would look to his right he would laugh, and if he would look to his left he would cry. Adam was seeing the souls of his descendants. Those on his right were his descendants who would die as believers and those on his left were his descendants who would die as non-believers.

Then the Prophet ascended to the second heaven. In this second heaven was where Prophet Muhammad saw Prophets Isa and Yahya. Isa and Yahya are cousins; their mothers were sisters. They welcomed the Prophet and made supplication (du’a) for him for good things.

The Prophet ascended to the third heaven, where he found Prophet Yusuf. Prophet Yusuf was extremely handsome. Allah bestowed half the beauty on Yusuf. Yusuf received the Prophet with a warm welcome and made supplication (du’a') for him for good things.

Then the Prophet ascended to the fourth heaven, where he found Prophet Idris. Idris welcomed the Prophet and made supplication (du’a') for him for good things.

In the fifth heaven, the Prophet encountered Harun, the brother of Prophet Musa.

In the sixth heaven, he encountered Prophet Musa. Each of these Prophets received Prophet Muhammad with a warm welcome and made supplication (du’a) for him for good things.

Then the Prophet ascended to the seventh heaven, and that is where our Messenger saw Prophet Ibrahim. Prophet Ibrahim is the best of the prophets after our prophet, Muhammad.

The Prophet saw Prophet Ibrahim with his back against al-Bayt al-Ma’mur.

To the inhabitants of the skies, al-Bayt al-Ma’mur is like the Ka’bah is to us, the inhabitants of the earth.

Every day 70,000 angels go there; then exit from it, and never return. The next day another 70,000 angels go, come out, and never return. This will continue until the Day of Judgment. In this, there is an indication as to the greatness of the numbers of the angels–their numbers are far more than the numbers of the humans and the jinns together.

In the seventh heaven, Prophet Muhammad saw Sidrat al-Muntaha–a very big tree of sidr. Each of the fruits of this tree is as large as a big jar. The leaves of this tree are similar to the ears of the elephants. Sidrat al-Muntahais an extremely beautiful tree. It is visited by butterflies made of gold. When these butterflies gather on this tree, its beauty is beyond description.

Then the Prophet ascended to what is beyond the seven skies; he entered Paradise. He saw examples of the inhabitants of Paradise and how their situation would be. He saw most of the inhabitants of Paradise are the poor people .

The Prophet saw other things on the night of his ascension. He saw Malik, the angel in charge of the Hellfire. Malik did not smile at the Prophet when he saw him, and the Prophet asked why. In answer to the Prophet’s question, Jibril said, “Malik did not smile since the day Allah created him. Had he smiled for anyone, he would have smiled for you.”

In Paradise, the Prophet saw some of the bounties Allah prepared for the inhabitants of Paradise. He saw the Hurul-Ain: females Allah created who are not humans or jinn. They are in Paradise and will be married to those men Allah willed them to marry.

The Prophet saw the wildan ul-mukhalladun: creations of Allah who are not human, jinn, or angels. They are a very beautiful creation of Allah whose appearance is like laid-out pearls.

They are servants of the inhabitants of Paradise. The least in status of the People of Paradise will have 10,000 wildan ul-mukhalladun to serve him. Each one of them would carry a tray of gold in one hand and a tray of silver in the other hand.

The Prophet saw the Throne (Arash), which is the ceiling of Paradise. The Throne is the largest creation of Allah in size; Allah did not create anything bigger in size than it.

The seven heavens and the earth in comparison to the Kursiyy, are like a ring thrown in a desert, and the Kursiyy in comparison to the Throne, is like a ring thrown in a desert.

The seven heavens and the earth in comparison to the Throne are like a seed of mustard compared to the ocean. Allah created the Throne as a sign of His Power and He did not create the Throne to sit on it.

Allah created the Throne to show His Power. It is carried by four angels, and on the Day of Judgment, it will be carried by eight.

The Prophet said he was permitted to speak about one of these angels who carry the Throne.

In describing this angel, the Prophet told us the distance between his ear lobe and shoulder is the distance a fast-flying bird would cover in 700 years.

Then the Prophet ascended beyond Paradise. He reached a place where he heard the creaking of the pens used by the angels who are copying from the Preserved Tablet.

It is at that location Prophet Muhammad heard the Kalam of Allah, which is an attribute of the Self of Allah. He heard the Kalam of Allah which does not resemble our speech–so it is not something that occurs bit after bit. It is not letter after letter or a word that comes after another word. Rather, it is an attribute of Allah which is eternal and everlasting. It does not resemble our attributes. The Kalam of Allah has neither silence nor interruptions. It is an attribute of Allah, and it does not resemble the attributes of the creation.

The Prophet understood several things from hearing this Kalam of Allah. He understood the obligation of the five Obligatory Prayers. At first, Allah obligated fifty prayers. When Prophet Muhammad encountered Musa, Musa told him to make supplication (du’a) to his Lord to ease the obligation of fifty (50) prayers, because his nation could not handle that.

Musa said, “I have experience with the people of Israel, and I know your nation cannot bear that.”

So the Prophet asked his Lord to lessen these prayers for his people. Five prayers were eliminated.

Once again, Musa told the Prophet to ask Allah to lessen the number of prayers. Allah did.

Nine times the Prophet made supplication to Allah to lessen these prayers–until these prayers were lessened to five Obligatory Prayers.

So Prophet Musa was a great benefit to us. Had we been obligated to pray fifty prayers a day, this would have been a difficult matter for us.

From the Kalam of Allah, the Prophet also understood that a good deed would be written for the person who intends to do a good deed, even if he did not do it.

Also, the good deed performed would be registered for he who performs it as at least ten good deeds–up to 700 good deeds. For some people, Allah would multiply the reward of their deeds more than that.

Additionally, if one performs a bad deed, it is registered for him as one bad deed; yet for he who inclines towards committing a bad deed and then refrains from committing it, a good deed would be registered for him.

Here one should note the difference between two matters.

If a thought crossed a person’s mind about doing something sinful, and this person wavered in this thinking, i.e., considered whether he should do it or not, then he refrained from doing this for the sake of Allah, this is written as a good deed.

However, if a person has the firm intention in his heart that he wants to commit a sin, it would be written for him as a sin, even if he does not do it.

The Prophet Returns to Makkah

After all these matters took place with the Prophet, he returned to the city of Makkah. Some scholars said the Prophet’s journey took about one-third of the night, i.e., his journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, then to the heavens and what is above them, and then back to Makkah.

The next day the Prophet told the people what happened to him the previous night.

The blasphemers belied the Prophet and mocked him, saying, “We need a month to get there and back, and you are claiming to have done all this in one night?”

They said to Abu Bakr, “Look at what your companion is saying. He says he went to Jerusalem and came back in one night.”

Abu Bakr told them, “If he said that, then he is truthful. I believe him concerning the news of the heavens–that an angel descends to him from the heavens. How could I not believe he went to Jerusalem and came back in a short period of time–when these are on earth?”

At that, the Companion, Abu Bakr, was called “as-Siddiq”–because of how strongly he believed all what the Prophet said.

The blasphemous people questioned the Prophet: “If you are truthful, then describe to us Masjid al-Aqsa and its surroundings.”

They asked this because they knew Prophet Muhammad had never been there before the previous night.

Allah enabled the Messenger to see Masjid al-Aqsa, and he described the masjid and its surroundings in exact detail.

Moreover, the Prophet said, “On my way back, I saw some of your shepherds grazing their animals in a particular location. They were searching for a camel they had lost.”

The Prophet continued by giving the description of the camel. When these shepherds came back, they told their people what happened to them–precisely as the Prophet had already told them.

These blasphemers admitted the Prophet’s description was exact.

Despite that, they were still stubborn and rejected the faith. They did not accept Islam.

Only those whom Allah willed to be guided, will be guided. The person whom Allah did not will to be guided, will not believe–regardless of how much explanation or how many proofs he is shown.

The person whom Allah willed to be guided, surely he will be a believer. Many people witnessed miracles and still did not believe.

Many people witnessed the miracle of the Prophet’s splitting of the moon. Those who refused to embrace Islam said, “This is magic. Muhammad played a magic trick on our eyes.”

They even asked the people of a faraway land who witnessed the moon split in two. Despite this, they still did not believe.

They said, “The magic of Muhammad is powerful; it even reached the faraway lands!”

This was their response to witnessing a miracle–instead of believing and becoming Muslims.

We ask Allah that we would all die as Muslims. We ask Allah to bestow on us the bounty of entering Paradise without torture.

And Allah knows best.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Now, all these while, no one has been speaking about the first thing that Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam did upon being in the Presence of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala in the Arash above Jannatul Firdaus, the 7th Heaven @ Paradise.

Upon witnessing the beauty and greatness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, the very first words coming out of Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam, was ‘At-tahiyyatul-mubarakatus-salawatut-tayyibatu-Lillah’ meaning,' All greetings that are blessed and all prayers that are good are due to Allah!'

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala saluted His Beloved Prophet with,' As-salamu ‘alaika ayyuhan Nabiyyu Wa Rahmatullahi Wabarakatuh!' meaning ‘ Peace be upon you, O Prophet and the Mercy and Blessings of Allah!’

The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam responded with , ‘As-salamu alayna wa ‘ala ibadillah his salihin’ meaning ‘ Peace be upon us, and upon all righteous servants of Allah!’ sharing the Blessings of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala with all righteous Muslims.

The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam then raised his forefinger and testified ‘ Ash hadu alla ilaha ill Allah!’ meaning ‘I bear witness that there is no god other than Allah!’

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala replied ,‘ Wa ash hadu anna Muhammad Rasul Allah!’ meaning ‘ I bear witness that (you) Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala then blesses the Prophet Muhammad with His Salawat ,' Allahumma salli ala Muhammadiw wa ‘ala alihi Muhammad’ meaning ‘ O Allah, bestow Your Grace upon Muhammad and upon his family' ( Allah blesses Muhammad and the family of Muhammad!) *

The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam responds by honoring the Prophet Ibrahim and his family members (the Prophet’s forefathers -going back to the Prophet Ismail Alaihis Salam who is the first born of Prophet Ibrahim with his second wife Siti Hajar) ‘Kama sallayta ‘ala Ibrahim wa ‘ala alihi ‘Ibrahim’ meaning ‘As You have bestowed Your Grace upon Ibrahim and upon his family!‘

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala blesses the Prophet Muhammad again with ‘ Wabarik ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala alihi Muhammad!‘ meaning ‘ Blessings upon Muhammad and family of Muhammad’.

The Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam then praises the Prophet Ibrahim and members of his family with ‘Kama barakta ‘ala Ibrahim wa ‘ala alihi Ibrahim!‘ meaning ‘ As You have blessed Ibrahim and his family!’.

Once again Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala blesses the Prophet Muhammad with ‘ Wabarik ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala alihi Muhammad!‘ meaning ‘ Blessings upon Muhammad and family of Muhammad’.

The Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam then caps it off with saluting Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala with ‘ Fil Alamina Innaka Hamidum Majid‘ meaning ‘ Truly in all the worlds, You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious!’

* updated

This is what I, Zainol Abideen @ Mahaguru58, figure is the actualization of the impact of the Blessed Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam's ascension to the highest Paradise by the Will of Allah Azza Wa Jalla, where this historic moment in history of us who are Muslims gets to be re-enacted eternally in the rukuns of our solat and to those who have the yearnings to study in depth about our faith ought to come to realize that the Attahiyyat is just that.

It is a permanent remembrance of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ibni Abdullah's historic life changing meeting with our Creator Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Malikul Mulk, Who honors His Greatest Messenger with such an appointment and gives the order to perform the solat which encompasses all the prayers and ibadah of all of Allah's 124,000 noble Prophets and Messengers Alaihis Salatuwassallam.

I come to this conclusion based upon my own study and research and if what I have concluded is in line with our Aqeedah, I praise none but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for this thought.

If I am wrong, I welcome any Muslim who is better informed to advice me as to where I conclude wrongly for the sake of improving our mutual knowledge and 'Ilm of Islam.

May Allah Azza Wa Jalla continue to guide us with His Taufik and Hidayah for the betterment of the Ummah. Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is the significance of our reciting the Attahiyyat as the closing part of our solat.

We are re-enacting the Ascension of our Nabiyyil Karim Muhammad al Mustafa Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam to the Seven Heavens and then being granted Permission by Allah to be in His Glorious Presence.

Try visualising the experience of Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam meeting Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala and imagine the impact of that meeting which we Muslims, billions of us repeat glorifying Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala and His Messenger Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam during our each solat whether it’s the fardhu solat or the sunnat prayers.

The solat is not only a manifestation of the importance of our spiritual ascension to the Presence of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala but it is the most important aspect of our religious practice of our faith which is both a body and soul experience and spiritual journey for us.

Insya Allah, I will share more about our faith as Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala permits me.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Terengganu MB gets Kelantan MB's support!

Terengganu MB YAB Datuk Ahmad Said is sure grinning from ear to ear after getting support from an unlikely source as far as his decision to order the purchase of 14 Mercedes Benz E200 Kompressors for his state exco's official uses is concerned.


















Kelantan Menteri Besar YAB Tuan Guru Datuk Haji Nik Aziz Nik Mat has spoken out about the high costs of maintaining the Proton Perdana Executive V6 that often breaks down and is unreliable in the long run.






















Even Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob states the same thing.

Proton needs to buck up as far as providing the best in terms of service and ensuring the best standards to its vehicle buyers domestically just as it bends over backwards to accommodate its overseas customers.

As a Proton automobile user myself, I have my fair share of complaints about the substandard quality of the national car.

Let's call a spade just that and not lie to ourselves that Proton is far from perfect as far as giving us the Malaysian people top value and quality for our money?

Major problems are the central locking system, frequent car window motor breakdowns and the low quality of the fittings used in the national car.

As I can't afford to buy a better foreign model at the moment, I have to make do with the Wira we own now but as soon as my finances permit me, I'd buy a Mercedes Benz myself even if it is only a secondhand model or maybe go for a Toyota Harrier or Camry.

I have had enough heartaches with Proton and I can understand why MB Ahmad Said has gone ahead and purchased the Mercedes Benz E200 Kompressors for the State Excos.

Being patriotic doesn't mean that we have to lie to ourselves that Proton has NOT been shortchanging us Malaysians by giving us inferior quality models locally whilst they go to such extents to woo the British and Australian markets with better standards and throw in many additional accessories for the foreign market and to add salt to the wound, they sell Proton cars cheaper over there!!!

The focus is now being diverted from the Altantuyaa case and onto the Terengganu official cars.

Where was the BN government's thrifty mindset when they partied all night long at the Seri Perdana Soiree?

The Angkasawan Project? What good has it done for the nation? Wasted millions!

The cancelled bridge project to Singapore where the government paid out hundreds of millions of ringgits to the contractors?

They are zeroing in onto Ahmad Said's butt in a devious attempt to divert attention from the other pressing matters like the protracted Altantuyaa Shaariibuu murder case implicating the next in command of the BN Federal Government.

Talk about seeing the mosquitoes across the river but the political sheenanigans blocking our views is being ignored by the big boys of the BN Federal Government!

Sheeesshh!!!

UMNO - PAS Muzakarah - Wawancara Bantahan Suara Ummah

Assalamualaikum tuan tuan dan puan puan sekelian.

Tajuk artikel pagi ini adalah berhubung dengan perkara muzakarah diantara UMNO dan PAS yang sedang hangat diperkatakan diseluruh negara.

Baik dari Dewan Parlimen sehingga ke warung warung kopi tepian jalan, sebilangan besar anggota masyarakat negara Malaysia ini sibuk membicarakan akan baik buruknya muzakarah yang dicadangkan ini.

















Pagi tadi, saya berkesempatan singgah bersarapan di Warung Amin, Jalan Jujur, Bandar Tun Razak, 56000, Kuala Lumpur dimana saya bertemu dengan sebilangan kenalan dan kawan kawan disana.

















Antara yang hadir di pagi tadi adalah seorang yang senegeri dengan saya iaitu Pak Din, seorang Pengamal Perubatan Melayu Tradisional dari Pulau Pinang. Pak Din ini adalah orang Balik Pulau. Saya orang Jelutong Timur.

Pak Din adalah seorang pengamal perubatan tradisional dan memang terkenal di Bandar Tun Razak sebagai seorang lama yang mempunyai pandangan yang tuntas didalam membicarakan sebarang perkara.

Biasalah, orang lama sepertinya tidak gentar membicarakan apa apa perkara yang melibatkan nasib Ummah dan negara terutamanya yang melibatkan UMNO dan PAS. Mesti bersambut kata orang!

Maka sesudah bersarapan, untuk mendapat bahan blog pagi ini, saya membuka tajuk perbincangan semasa dengan mengajak Pak Din untuk bercakap tentang perkara muzakarah diantara UMNO dengan PAS di Dewan Persidangan Rakyat semasa. Hehehehe...

Tak payah beriya iya nak bergelar YB baru nak bersembang politik, ini Shoutul Ummah. Setiap insan bergelar rakyat boleh sahaja menyuarakan pendapat dan pandangan masing masing, Insya Allah!

Ikutilah pandangan Pak Din didalam wawancara saya dengan beliau dan juga seorang penduduk tempatan Jalan Jujur, Bandar Tun Razak, tempat kami iaitu Saudara Zahlan bin Azim dimana mereka berharap supaya UMNO kembali mengamalkan ajaran Islam sebenar dan meninggalkan perjuangan berasaskan Assabiyah sebelum duduk bermuzakarah dengan PAS.

















Iyelah, media massa perdana cuma asyik bertanyakan pendapat dan pandangan pembesar yang berkepentingan sahaja, maka saya fikir baik juga kita dengar pendapat orang awam, mereka yang berhadapan dengan natijah keputusan pucuk pimpinan parti parti politik yang sedang heboh berbincang perkara ini.



Didalam keadaan sekarang dimana orang ramai terutamanya mereka yang telah mengundi Pakatan Rakyat merasa gusar dengan taktik UMNO menggunakan tiket muzakarah dengan PAS untuk menghancurkan Gagasan Pakatan Rakyat yang baru berusia 5 bulan.

Pakatan Rakyat berjaya memerintah 5 buah negeri di Semenanjung ini disebabkan masyarakat Malaysia dari pelbagai keturunan nekad memberikan undi mereka kepada parti parti komponen Pakatan Rakyat yang terdiri dari DAP, PKR dan PAS.

Ditempat saya sendiri, Bandar Tun Razak, calon BN iaitu seorang Cina MCA, Datuk Tan Chai Ho gagal dipilih oleh orang orang Cina yang sedikit sebanyak ada menerima perkhidmatan dari Datuk Tan melalui Pusat Khidmat nya di Jalan Ikan Emas.

Namun kemarahan orang orang Cina, Melayu dan India kepada BN ditunjukkan kuasa rakyat didalam pilihanraya kali ini dengan orang orang Cina memangkah calon PKR Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, walaupun beliau pernah tersasul menyuruh rakyat mengundi BN didalam Pilihanraya Kecil DUN Ijok dipilihanraya kecil tersebut!

Di kebanyakan kawasan dimana PAS bertanding, orang orang Cina, telah memangkah Parti Islam seMalaysia walaupun ada usaha usaha dari pihak pihak chauvinis Cina mengapi apikan sentimen rakyat bukan Melayu supaya tidak mengundi lambang bulan kerana dimomokkan dengan ancaman Hukum Hudud sekiranya PAS diberi kuasa memerintah negeri atau negara nanti?

Nah, kini PAS sudah bersama sama meraih kejayaan didalam negeri negeri Pulau Pinang, Kedah Darul Aman, Perak Darul Ridzuan dan Selangor Darul Ehsan serta berjaya mempertahankan Kelantan Darul Naim.

Mahu tidak mahu PAS wajib memegang amanah para pengundi Malaysia yang memangkah lambang bulan walaupun mereka yang bukan Islam dan bukan Melayu sekian lama ini ditakutkan oleh UMNO dan BN bahawa sekiranya PAS memerintah kerajaan pusat, maka ramai lah rakyat Malaysia yang akan kudung kaki dan tangan mereka kerana PAS akan melaksanakan Hukum Hudud!

Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Ustazah Mashitah Ibrahim seringkali mengeluarkan ancaman potong tangan ini didalam mana mana sesi ceramah politik bermotifkan agama dimana beliau sendiri mengaku terpaksa membayar duit kepada para hadirin untuk melaksanakan program program ceramah anjuran UMNO dan Kerajaan BN.

Namun, masyarakat Malaysia hari ini sudah agak dewasa dan tidak mudah diperbodohkan lagi melalui peras ugut emosional dan permainan memanipulasi sentimen agama dan bangsa!

Walaupun cerita sebenar tentang sebab musabab UMNO beriya iya benar sangat hendak menjalinkan hubungan politik bersama PAS, pengkhianatan UMNO terhadap PAS dizaman Datuk Asri tidak mungkin dilupakan oleh mereka yang masih waras dan mempunyai akal yang sihat didalam mempertimbangkan perkara UMNO hendak bermuzakarah dengan mereka selama ini.

Tulang Besi menulis tentang senario politik negara ini sekiranya memang sahih perancangan UMNO ingin menjalin kerjasama politik dengan UMNO!

Tuan Guru Datuk Haji Nik Aziz Nik Mat merupakan satu satunya pemimpin dan pemerintah Kerajaan PAS Kelantan yang tetap tidak berganjak dari keputusan Tuan Guru untuk tidak melayan kerenah UMNO didalam ajakan bermuzakarah kali ini kerana sudah serik dengan permainan politik UMNO sejak zaman Datuk Asri dahulu?





Mufti Perlis Sahibul Samahah Dr. Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin pernah menyuarakan hasrat beliau bahawa perlu diadakan satu perjumpaan muzakarah diantara para pemimpin Melayu Muslim seperti YAB Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, Presiden UMNO dan Perdana Menteri Malaysia sekarang, YAB Datuk Tuan Guru Hj Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Menteri Besar Kelantan Darul Naim, Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Mantan Presiden UMNO dan Perdana Menteri ke 4 Malaysia dan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Penasihat Parti Keadilan Nasional.





Soalnya, mahukah pemimpin pemimpin ini mengenepikan ego masing masing demi mencari jalan keluar bagi mengatasi kemelut politik orang orang Melayu secara adil dan saksama?

Bagi pendapat saya, selagi UMNO tidak keluar dari landasan politik berasaskan kebangsaan iaitu semangat Assabiyah, ianya sudah pasti bertentangan dengan perjuangan PAS yang bermatlamat mendirikan Daulah Islamiyah dimuka bumi tanahair kita, maka sampai Kiamat lah UMNO dan PAS akan bertelagah diantara satu sama lain selama lamanya.

Tuan Guru Datuk Hj Nik Aziz tidak mahu PAS disengat untuk kali kedua dari lubang yang sama sepertimana peringatan Nabi SAW.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pula masih dituduh Tun Dr Mahathir sebagai pesalah seks luar tabi'i dan tidak pernah menarik balik tuduhan salah laku seks keaatas diri Datuk Seri Anwar sampai ke saat ini.

Datuk Seri Anwar pada hari ini masih terus dituduh menjadi peliwat tegar oleh seorang pemuda yang sebelum ini didapati amat besar cita cita dan harapan politik beliau serta gemar bergambar dengan para menteri BN!

Hakikatnya semua ini merupakan satu tuduhan bermotif konspirasi politik dan bertujuan menjahanamkan peluang Datuk Seri Anwar untuk membuat kejutan politik dengan menumbangkan Kerajaan BN menjelang Bulan September kelak.

Suara Ummah kali ini berkesimpulan bahawa muzakarah UMNO-PAS tidak perlu dan cuma membuang masa sahaja selagi UMNO tidak mahu berubah demi kesejahteraan Umat Islam dan Keadilan Sejagat.

Apa pendapat tuan tuan dan puan puan pulak?

Ketuanan Melayu, Kesultanan Melayu, Muzakarah UMNO-PAS 2008.

Assalamualaikum semua.

Saya ingin merujuk kepada beberapa perkara seperti kerisauan orang orang UMNO tentang kehakisan 'Ketuanan Melayu' yang diperkatakan punca sebenar penganjuran muzakarah diantara Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Bersatu atau UMNO dengan Parti Islam seMalaysia atau PAS?

Sebelum ini sudah kerap kita dengar bahawa hanya UMNO sahaja benteng terakhir Ketuanan Melayu dan bahawasanya PAS sudah sanggup menggadaikan masa depan orang orang Melayu dengan berpakat bersama sama dengan DAP dan Parti Keadilan Rakyat yang terdiri dari masyarakat majmuk negara ini.

Saya ingin bertanya?

Apakah kebanyakan dari orang orang UMNO yang cuba menggemparkan masyarakat Melayu di Malaysia dengan kejutan atau peras ugut secara senyap ini lupa akan ujudnya Kesultanan Melayu di bumi semenanjung Malaysia ini?

Negara ini diterajui oleh Kesultanan Melayu yang dimasyhurkan sebagai Raja Berperlembagaan.

Selagi berdirinya Kesultanan kesultanan Melayu di dalam negara ini selagi itulah Ketuanan Melayu tetap ujud teguh sepanjang masa.

Hanya bila tiada lagi institusi Kesultanan Melayu ditanahair ini maka ketika itu bolehlah dirisaukan bahawasanya Ketuanan orang orang Melayu memang telah luput dari mukabumi ini.

Apa tuan tuan dan puan puan rasa perkara ini akan dibiarkan berlaku begitu sahaja di Malaysia ini?

Saya rasa tidak mungkin. Insya Allah sampai Hari Kiamat, Kesultanan Melayu akan terus tertegak dibumi Malaysia ini.

Usahlah menggembar gemburkan perkara ini demi mencari sokongan PAS didalam menongkat kerapuhan kuasa politik Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Bersatu (BARU) yang semakin hari semakin lemah disebabkan kemerosotan sokongan warganegara sesama bangsa yang telah muak dengan sikap sombong dan bongkak para pemimpin UMNO yang lupa diri semasa berkuasa.

Sebelum ini tidak kita dengar akan kesudian pemimpin pemimpin UMNO mahu duduk semeja berunding dengan para pemimpin PAS kerana menganggap mereka jumud dan tiada berfaedah berunding dengan mereka yang berkopiah, berserban dan berjanggut yang dituduh ketinggalan zaman dan membuang masa je.

Maka sesudah keputusan Pilihanraya Umum ke 12, Barisan Nasional tersungkur di empat negeri yang dahulunya merupakan kubu kuat BN iaitu di Pulau Pinang, Kedah Darulaman, Perak Darul Ridzuan dan Selangor Darul Ehsan.

Kelantan jangan cuba lah. Selagi adanya Tuan Guru Datuk Hj Nik Abdul Aziz bin Nik Mat menerajui Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan, BN tak ada harapan untuk kembali berkuasa di Negeri Cik Siti Wan Kembang itu.

Maka saya membaca laporan laporan blog dan media massa akan satu keghairahan para pemimpin PAS seperti Timbalan Presiden PAS, Nasharudin Mat Isa, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Pilihan Raya PAS Pusat, Datuk Mustapha Ali dan Ahli Parlimen PAS Shah Alam, Abd Khalid Abdul Samad yang dilaporkan telah bertemu dengan pucuk pimpinan UMNO selepas PRU ke 12.

Soalnya, apakah UMNO yang sekian lama ini menghina ahli ahli PAS dengan pelbagai gelaran seperti ketinggalan zaman dan sebagainya baru sekarang sedar akan keistimewaan orang orang PAS selepas kebanyakan dari pemimpin UMNO kalah didalam pilihanraya yang terkini?



Mursyidul Am PAS YAB Tuan Guru Datuk Hj Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Menteri Besar Kelantan merupakan satu satunya pemimpin PAS yang keberatan menyokong muzakarah UMNO-PAS kali ini kerana masih sangsi akan ketelusan UMNO mahu merapatkan jurang dan fahaman politik diantara mereka dengan satu satunya Parti Islam terbesar dinegara ini.

Kita semua sedia maklum bahawa prinsip dan perjuangan UMNO amat berlawanan dengan apa yang diperjuangkan PAS.

UMNO memperjuangkan Assabiyah manakala PAS ingin menegakkan Daulah Islamiyah didalam negara ini dan serantau.

Bagaikan siang dan malam perbezaan perjuangan UMNO dan PAS.

Sepertimana yang kita semua tahu, UMNO selama ini tidak pernah ikhlas memperjuangkan Islam.

Undang undang Syariah yang ada didalam negara kita ini hanya undang undang yang telah disesuaikan dengan kehendak pucuk pimpinan UMNO dan tidak benar benar berteraskan apa yang di turunkan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Undang undang Hudud Islam diperlekehkan oleh para pemimpin UMNO dari zaman berzaman sampai kesaat dan ketika ini.

Lihat sahaja cara pemimpin UMNO merosakkan akidah umat Islam dengan memperlecehkan Hukum Hudud Allah semasa berceramah 'agama' Islam versi UMNO iaitu cara Ummu Hadhari Datuk Mashitah?





Berbeza sungguh intipati ceramah ceramah Islam Hadhari dengan Islam yang dibawa oleh pimpinan pimpinan PAS. Berikut ini adalah jawapan Ustaz Nasaruddin Tantawi, seorang pemimpin PAS yang menjelaskan tentang kecelaruan yang dibawa oleh Ustazah Dr.Mashitah pemuka Islam Hadhari:



Ikuti pula ceramah Ustaz Akil Hayy yang juga memperbicarakan tentang fatwa fatwa karut Dr.Mashitah Ibrahim, pejuang Islam Hadhari tajaan UMNO:



Semoga anda mendapat beberapa petunjuk dan peringatan dari isi kandungan ceramah Ustaz Akil Hayy tadi. Insya Allah.

Berbalik semula kepada intipati tulisan saya berkenaan perkara perkara bersangkutan isu muzakarah UMNO-PAS yang sedang diperkatakan sekarang.

Saya tidaklah berkata bahawa tidak patut UMNO bermuzakarah dengan PAS tetapi haruslah UMNO membuang fahaman dan konsep konsep Islam Hadhari yang tidak kena dengan cara Islam sebenarnya?

UMNO hendaklah bertaubat nasuha diatas segala penyelewengan agama yang dilakukan mereka di atas tiket Islam Hadhari dan barulah PAS boleh mempertimbangkan bermuzakarah dengan mereka dengan tujuan menegakkan Kalimah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dibumi Allah ini dengan ertikata sebenar benarnya.

Undang undang Allah yang ada didalam Kitab Suci Al Qur'an Al Karim wajib dijadikan Perlembagaan Negara sepertimana dituntut Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dan Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Sekiranya UMNO benar benar sedar diri tentang perlunya perikatan ukhuwah Islamiyah sesama umat Islam dibumi Malaysia ini, maka tidak ada aral lagi bagi jamaah jamaah Islamiyah bersama sama dengan saudara saudara seagama dengan kita didalam satu perikatan kuasa orang orang Melayu berdiri sama tinggi, duduk sama rendah dengan teman teman seperjuangan mereka didalam PAS dan segala jamaah yang lain.

Yang dimusykilkan adalah apa tujuan sebenar UMNO ingin bermuzakarah dengan PAS kali ini?

Apakah kerana sudah terdesak akibat kekalahan UMNO di 4 negeri tersebut dan bahawa sudah nampak tanda tanda kejatuhan UMNO diperingkat Kerajaan Pusat pula memandangkan Pakatan Rakyat gabungan parti parti politik DAP-PKR-PAS yang terbukti disokong rakyat pelbagai kaum dan agama didalam negara kita ini?

Kekuasaan UMNO didalam Barisan Nasional boleh dikatakan sedang berada hampir hampir runtuh ditebing ketidakpercayaan parti parti komponen Barisan Nasional.

Satu persatu pimpinan parti parti komponen BN sedang mula bersuara menyatakan tidak puas hati dengan pimpinan UMNO yang terlalu sombong sekian lama ini.

SAPP telah berani membuat keputusan ingin mengusulkan undi tidak percaya terhadap kepimpinan Presiden UMNO iaitu Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, Perdana Menteri Malaysia sekarang ini.

Presiden MIC, Datuk Seri Samy Vellu telah bersuara bahawa UMNO telah tidak adil terhadap orang orang India selama ini.

Presiden Gerakan Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon telah menyatakan bahawa sikap pimpinan UMNO lah yang telah menyebabkan BN hilang kuasa di 4 negeri disemenanjung Malaysia yang kini diperintah Kerajaan Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat.

Hari ini UMNO berkeadaan lemah dari segi sokongan rakyat Malaysia lebih lebih lagi dari orang orang UMNO sendiri yang sudah mula jelak dengan sikap dan pe'el pemimpin pemimpin UMNO.






















Bekas Presiden UMNO sendiri iaitu mantan Perdana Menteri ke4 Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad telah bertindak keluar dari UMNO selepas dr Mahathir tidak diberi ruang untuk bersuara mengkritik kepimpinan UMNO sekarang yang mencipta konsep Islam Hadhari untuk tujuan mempopularkan peribadi Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, Presiden UMNO sekarang yang paling dibenci oleh semua namun makhluk makhluk yang berada disekeliling PM tidak berani bersuara menyatakan yang benar demi menjaga periok nasi dan tembolok masing masing.





Maka sekarang ini UMNO seumpama berkeadaan sudah retak menanti belah. Nampak sangat bahawa rakyat Malaysia hari ini sudah muak dengan sikap UMNO dan kemungkinan besar BN akan kalah terok didalam Pilihanraya Umum ke 13 yang akan datang dan kehilangan kuasa di Kerajaan Pusat nanti.

PAS pula harus teguh bersama sama dengan Pakatan Rakyat kerna tanpa sokongan DAP dan PKR, tidak mungkin Kedah dan Perak jatuh ke Pakatan Rakyat seperti hari ini.

PAS harus berwaspada dengan niat sebenar pimpinan UMNO yang mahu bermuzakarah dengan mereka.

Jika isu Ketuanan Melayu yang menjadi pokok perbincangan utama UMNO-PAS, maka ianya tidak ada asasnya sebab selagi ujud Kesultanan Melayu, maka orang orang Melayu tetap akan menjadi Yang di Pertuan negara ini.

Apa yang mungkin UMNO lakukan adalah menyekat keruntuhan moral orang orang Islam di dalam negara ini dengan memberikan kedaulatan kepada sistem perundangan Islam di dalam negara kita ini seperti yang dituntut oleh PAS dan jamaah jamaah Islam yang lain?

Jika UMNO mahukan kerjasama PAS untuk mengembalikan kekuatan politik orang orang Melayu, maka UMNO hendaklah bersedia melakukan anjakan paradigma mereka dari berteraskan Assabiyah kepada berteraskan Islam seperti dituntut PAS?

Bangsa Melayu itu tetap tidak akan hilang dari muka bumi ini tetapi jatidiri orang orang Melayu berteraskan kepada pegangan kepada ajaran ajaran Islam yang sebenar dan bukan berkonsepkan satu bidaah seperti konsep Islam Hadhari yang dibawa Abdullah Badawi.

Kegagalan pihak UMNO bekerjasama dengan PAS didalam memperkukuhkan institusi Islam dan pelaksanaan Undang undang Shariah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala di tanahair ini disamping menjaga kepentingan dan hak hak orang orang bukan Islam di dalam Malaysia akan menjadi sebab utama UMNO gagal didalam mengekalkan kekuasaan mereka didalam tampok pemerintahan politik didalam negara ini diwaktu terdekat ini.

PAS pula perlu setia bersama sama dengan para penyokong Pakatan Rakyat disamping berpegang teguh terhadap perjuangan menegakkan Ad DeenuLaah di Malaysia ini tanpa sebarang keraguan lagi.

'Kerbau dipegang pada talinya ; manusia dipegang pada janjinya'.

Semoga perbincangan dan muzakarah UMNO-PAS kali ini tidak menjahamkan segala perjuangan PAS selama lebih 51 tahun ini dan para pemimpin PAS tidak bersikap 'mendengar guruh dilangit; air tempayan dicurahkan'.

Nasib jutaan umat Islam berada ditangan pimpinan PAS dan juga harapan harapan para penyokong PAS yang terdiri dari orang orang bukan Islam diMalaysia ini yang telah bersama sama memberi kekuatan kepada PAS bersama sama dengan DAP dan PKR.

Fikir fikirkan lah natijah sebarang silap perhitungan.

Jangan jadi seperti 'ayam terlepas ; tangan berbau tahi!'.

Kepada pimpinan PAS, satu sahaja pesanan hamba : 'Berhati hati didalam bermuzakarah.

Jangan sampai segala hasil perjuangan sekian lama ini hancur hilang lesap bagaikan embun disinar sang mentari dek kerana terlalu ghairah mendapatkan habuan peribadi masing masing kerana dijanjikan itu ini oleh pucuk pimpinan UMNO.

Semoga sentiasa beringat dan bercermat.

Insya Allah.'

Brothers and Sisters, Fellow Malaysians.

We need to hear from both sides of the political parties we have here today who are deciding how we live our lives and the BN Government who have been calling the shots all these while and of late have added unnecessary burden upon ourselves who have to struggle like hell to make our ends meet!

After the debate between Anwar Ibrahim and Ahmad Shabery Cheek and the following arrest and detention of the PKR Supremo overnight at the Kuala Lumpur Police HQ, Anwar spoke at a ceramah held at Cheng, Melaka.

He explains what happened to him and the challenges that he is facing in trying to fight against the BN behemoth who are going all out to silence and gag him?

Listen to him speaking courtesy of Malaysiakini.tv.

Thanks to our nation's # 1 online newsportal. Without them we will not have come this far.

Alhamdulillah.

Phang Oo Lang Herbal Alternative Medicine Treatment Centre

Ladies and gentlemen. Meet Hasmadi Nordin, 36, a diabetic from Perlis who had suffered from gangrenous sores on his feet but after taking the herbal medications from Herbalist Phang Oo Lang, managed to save his feet from being amputated and has healed from the severe condition that he was in.








































This is one of his gangrenous foot that is being treated by Phang Oo Lang.






















This is his other foot that has completely been healed after undergoing treatment at Phang Oo Lang Herbal Treatment Centre.

No fancy 5 star hospital standard but just a traditional herbal alternative healing centre that has been serving people for more than 36 years now in the rural area of Kepala Batas, Seberang Perai Utara.

The video above shows how a diabetic patient of Phang Oo Lang has successfully brought down his blood sugar level to just 4.8 after continuously taking the herbal diabetes medicines for a period of 12 months.




































This is a map showing the directions to Phang Oo Lang Herbal Treatment Centre at 5221, Jalan Satu off Jalan Datuk Hj. Ahmad Badawi, 13200, Seberang Perai Utara. Tel : 04- 575 1921.

Phang Oo Lang treats patients who are suffering from Diabetes, Hypertension, Gastric, Kidney Failure, Heart Complications, Gout, Female and Male Sexual Health Problems, Migraine, Anemia, Leukemia, and other diseases or conditions. He also treats those who are suffering from broken bones, wounds, eye diseases, ear and throat complications, skin conditions and administers traditional Chinese medicine and massage.

As one of his satisfied patients, I am sharing this information about his services to those who may be suffering from any of the conditions listed above or have loved ones who need medical attention. Herbal treatment works for me and so many others.

The fees are affordable and the results are to be seen to be believed. It is heartening to know that in these times when many hospitals turn away poor folks who are sick but do not have much money to pay for their medical bills, there are people like Phang Oo Lang who charge reasonably and treat his patients with the care and compassion that they deserve.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala enjoins us to change our destinies by striving our best ourselves and as far as getting treatment is concerned for our conditions and sicknesses, I have no reservations in recommending those of you who have medical problems to seek treatment at Phang Oo Lang.

May Allah bless and heal us from our conditions and give us a healthier future. Ameen.

UMNO-PAS Talks - Driven by whose necessity?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is heartening for me as a Muslim to see my brothers in UMNO and PAS attempt to sit down and discuss as to find ways to make amends and a solution to their glaring divide especially when it concerns one party's core principles of ensuring Malay supremacy whilst the other strives to ensure that Islam prevails over all in this land.

Frankly speaking, it is like hoping to see a miracle take place in these 'talks' because as long as each party remains obstinate in wanting to see the other capitulate and surrender their principles over the current political stalemate that UMNO seems to be mired in and PAS on the other hand being forced to keep company with PKR and the DAP, this unholy union is destined to come to a situation where they might be seen to sit on the same sofa but each has different ideas brewing within their obviously different political aspirations?

For one thing, the UMNO chaps will never agree to giving up their race based struggles for that is their only trump card so far in ensuring continuous Malay support.

On the other hand, many Malays are sort of disillusioned with the way UMNO top leaders have failed to ensure that matters concerning the Islamic affairs be protected and guarded from interference from the ones clamoring to see the position of Islam be sidelined for the interests of the Non Muslim NGO's and political pressure groups who have become emboldened to start questioning the Malay rights and with it start to encroach and interfere in matters concerning the Islamic faith especially in cases that touch on apostasy and the social contract as seen in the recent Bar Council Forum that spoke exactly on a matter that all this while has remained a taboo in this land.

I for one have always dreamed of a day when UMNO, PAS, ABIM, JIM, Tabligh and all other Muslim based organizations would be able to close ranks and form a strong, solid jamaah of good Muslims willing to give and take in building a Daulah Islamiyah based on the commands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and the Sunnah of Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

But then again, I know for sure that such a dream will remain just that for the manner by which most of the leaders of all these political and religious organizations have damn big bloated egos to contend with and as has been the case all over this country if not the world, Muslims have yet to truly be able and willing to set aside their differences and even when seen being together at events or functions where they are forced to be seen as civil and friendly to each other, underneath all that show of spontaneous camaraderie, lies seething suspicions and worries of being taken advantage of by the other?

UMNO was born out of nationalistic pursuits to ensure Malay supremacy and to them the matter of race is the utmost important.

PAS on the other hand although made up of similar Malays have one advantage over UMNO in that they base their struggles upon Islam which is universal and doesn't discriminate between one's skin colors openly.

Yet somehow, I can sense that judging from the overtures being done at the moment between the leaders of UMNO and PAS, the subject matter of fearing the Non Malays eventually overthrowing the political dominion of the Malays especially of UMNO is the core reason as to why UMNO leaders are willing to sit and discuss so called matters concerning the religious future of the people here in Malaysia.

Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, the PAS Spiritual Leader and Kelantan Menteri Besar is wary of the real intentions of UMNO wanting to make amends with them because of the manner by which the ruling party is seen to be coming apart at the seams and in danger of an implosion from within the beleaguered party due to the grassroots unhappiness over Abdullah Badawi's recent oil price hikes and the general displeasure of the Malays over the rising inflation causing further hardships to all, especially the ones living in major cities who have to struggle daily to make their ends meet amid an overall rising of the costs of living here in Bolehland under the rule of the Imam Hadhari.

Datuk Nik Aziz's worries do have a basis for the last time PAS rejoined the Barisan Nasional, they ended up getting the short end of the ruling stick.

Malay politics aren't as upfront as we would like it to be. There's a lot of undercurrents that sweep away one's support overnight due to the incessant distrust and envy that is part and parcel of this country's political foundations.

The Malays are notorious for the way they distrust each other and the term 'PhD' comes to mind where it doesn't stand for the Doctorate of Philosophy but instead the dictum of 'Penyakit Hasad Dengki'.

They might seem to be willing to discuss and have dialogues with each other but deep down suspicion and envy of the other would remain to be the undoing of the leaders from both parties.

This suspicion and being wary of the other party is as natural as natural can be. Political power is not easily attained by those who are willing to give up whatever remaining leverage they might have over the others especially when the future of the nation's Malay community is at stake here, remains to be seen?

The Malays have actually lost so much of their national identities over the years and the only remaining vestiges of Malay power are in the institutions of the Malay Royalty who are only found in the Malaysian Peninsular and reduced to being Constitutional Monarchs by the former British Colonials.

The term 'Tanah Melayu' is long gone and disappeared into the annals of history. So many other Malay identities are today just confined to the museums and archives of this nation.

Even my favorite Radio Irama Melayu Asli has been disposed off by the Information Minister of before, the bow tied Kadir Shaikh Fadzir. Damn...I still think that he should not have done that.

It's a shame actually when many Malays themselves no longer appreciate and value their time honored traditions and many so called modern Malays seem embarrassed to retain and maintain their 'adats' and traditions.

I may be an Indian Muslim by birth but I grew up in a Malay kampong and many of my siblings and I myself are married to Malays, so I do feel the closeness to them.

In fact, I have yet to know that much about whatever Indian Muslim culture there is out there for being a born Malaysian who grew up in a totally Malay kampong and environment, I know more about the Malay cultures, tradition and norms than my forefather's heritage.

My love for old Malay customs and Malay arts and literature have earned me the nickname from my darling to be 'Mamak yang terlampau'. Hehehehe..terlampau 'Melayu' dari orang Melayu! :P

I have come to love all things Malaysian and am quite a fan of all that this land has to offer. Our unique blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian and other cultures that we can not find elsewhere.

All I wish to see is an amicable solution out of the current political climate that threatens to wreak havoc and rip our fragile unity asunder.

The immigrant population of Indians and Chinese have long come to be part and parcel of this land and whether the Malays like it or not are here to stay as sons and daughters of this earth, themselves.

It's a touchy subject no doubt but whether the Malays are willing to come to an amicable solution between the differing political parties especially when one party is championing one's race and the other is fighting to establish their mutual religion which is Islam.

The whole nation is at a crossroads of sorts today due to the current political dilemma that the Malays find themselves to be?

Race or religion seems to be the major question. If it was up to me, I would definitely choose Islam.

That doesn't however negate the need to maintain one's identity as a person and I can understand the Malays fear for their race in being sidelined out of their own heritage and land of birth.

It's a tricky situation, really. Like being asked to choose between their parents? I recall the Malay proverb, ' Ditelan mati emak ; diluah mati ayah'. Sheeeshh...

Those who choose race will face the predicament that when they die, the Malaikats aren't gonna be questioning them about their ancestry but rather as to their levels of Iman and Amals?

Those who choose religion on the other hand will stand accused of betraying their ancestors and sellout of their race?

Not an easy way out for sure.

Sure tricky situation for our Malay brothers. All I wish for is for some good to come out of this political quagmire for both UMNO and PAS.

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala inspire our leaders to do what's right for the good of the entire nation.

Ameen.

Update.

While I was surfing Sloone's blog, I came across her referral to this blog @ Malaysian-Choice.Blogspot.com where the Blogger has published excerpts from a poster showing 44 major differences between PAS and UMNO which remains as the barriers between them ever coming to join together as a mega Malay Super Political Entity.

Although some of the points may be considered as trivial and petty, nevertheless those small differences do make up into gnawing dissatisfactions when the faultfinders in both of these mega Malay Muslim political giants start getting finicky and nitpickers.

Just like the proverbial chicken bone that's stuck in one's throat, you can neither swallow or spit it out!

Sure tricky situation, I must say! Hmmmmmm.....

Just to make it easier for you to see the points being raised, I am posting those images here for you, courtesy of http://malaysia-choice.blogspot.com. Thank you sir/madam whoever you are?






















































































































































These are the points being raised by the Malaysia-Choice.Blogspot.Com by way of these gnawing differences that remain the major and minor obstacles that are preventing the amalgamation of the Malays and Muslims political entities.

Is it gonna be a smooth pow wow between those who share common roots and faith or is it gonna be a prolonged bickering spat that we all have come to identify with PAS and UMNO?

Wallahu Alam Bissawab.

Abdullah Badawi and His Promises.

Sometimes Cartoonist Zunar is just spot on with his pictorials with regard to the double speaking forked tongue one we have calling the shots at Putrajaya.


















Come to think of it, just how many times has Abdullah Badawi pulled a fast one on us?

He said that he didn't have any inspirations about the date he was going to dissolve Parliament before and voila, the very next day, he goes ahead and does just what he said he didn't have any idea of?

He said that he will not raise the price of petrol not till August this year and presto, not even 24 hours later, old forked tongue does the Devil proud by jacking the fuel prices by the highest margin of price hikes that even old dictator Mahathir didn't have the balls or the heart to do so to us all those 22 long bloody years he ruled over Bolehland?

Cartoonist Zunar has so cleverly drawn this cartoon depicting Al Imam al Hadhari as he really is and Najib Tun Razak better wipe that grin from his face thinking that forked tongue Badawi is gonna roll over and surrender his seat just like that?

There's still so much more to scrounge from whatever spoils are left for the taking from the oilwells and untold wealth that this nation has still left that is yet to be tapped by the ones calling the shots here in Cemerlang, Gemilang, Terbilang, Temberang Malaysia Bolehland!

In the meantime, they are gonna make a spectacle of the political slaughter of Pakatan Rakyat's main man Saudara Anwar Ibrahim that Hannibal in the Silence of the Lambs is gonna come looking like a harmless kid?

Yes sirree...old forked tongue just has many more tricks up his impeccable, immaculately stitched sleeve...just mark my words..





















They are gonna have a feasting on Anwar's roasting. That is if the majority of Malaysians are still gonna be on silent 'just minding our own business' mode.
