Part of the Do'a Iftitah

"Verily my solats, my ibadah, my life and my death I surrender to Almighty Allah, Creator and Lord of all the worlds. Never will I associate anything with Him. So am I commanded and I am of those who are Muslims."

Surah An Nahl (Chapter 16 Verse 125) Holy Al Quran Al Kareem.

" Invite (all Mankind) to the Way of your Lord (Islam) with Wisdom and Beautiful Preaching and Reason (discuss, argue, debate) with them ( Non Muslims and Muslims -deviant, innovators, liberals, alike) in a Way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Knower of those who are guided."

Rape of Nanking & Japanese War Atrocities Remembered.

Those who clamor for the forgiving of the notorious former Secretary General of the Communist Party of Malaya, Chin Peng obviously were mostly born after the country stabilized and peace was returned to this fledgling nation.

I was born in 1958 and was fortunate not to have been exposed to the horrors of war that took place in World War 2 here in our beloved country when the notorious Japanese Army plundered, ransacked and raped their way through our nation back in 1945.

Those who are now speaking as if they know what the bloody hell they are talking about have no clue at all to the terrible fate that befell our forefathers, mothers, sisters and brothers who had been tortured to death, stabbed with bayonets, heads decapitated and had their stomachs cut open, spilling their guts, young girls barely past puberty who were gang raped, brutalized and skewered to death after having had their honor, chastity and persons violated all in the name of war and occupation know nuts about what they are asking us to forgive and forget!!!



Hell no!!!

Have you seen what horrors the Japanese and the Communists have inflicted upon our civilian population during the WW2 and then during the Emergency?

I'd advise those who speak without knowledge to please go buy yourselves a copy of the DVD produced by TV3 and Grand Brilliance titled 'JUNGLE GREEN KHAKI BROWN ~Malaya's Fight Against Terrorism. Sold at MPH Bookstores for RM21.90 per copy.

Please do that. Watch the whole dvd, contemplate as to all the truth that is shown in the historical dvd showing authentic footage that was shot by the official information services back then before you conclude anything?

You might also want to go buy yourselves a Dvd of the Nanking Massacre. A HBO Documentary Films Production by FORTISSIMO FILMS. www.nankingthefilm.com

Witness for yourselves the atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese Army upon the helpless people and civilians of Nanking, China!

See how they systematically decimated more than 250,000 innocent Chinese civilians and raped to death more than 10,000 Chinese girls and women ranging from as young as 9 year olds to old ladies and grandmothers!

Then see whether you still have it in you to come advise me to go easy on the likes of Chin Peng and his ilk?

Those who so recklessly spew the seeds of hate and conflict amongst us here in our beloved country probably have yet to witness all these horrors of war, death and destruction?

That's why they so irresponsibly are goading the masses into an uprising of sorts and wage war against the authorities without considering the terrible toll that any untoward civil war or conflict is going to unleash upon the entire nation?

I promise you one thing. That and if trouble does break up amongst us, none will be spared the harm and damage that we and our loved ones will suffer when law and order is no more and anarchy takes its place here in Malaysia?

The Japanese Army and the Communists of Malaya have massacred hundreds of thousands of innocent Malayans before.

So many lives have been lost and generations continue to suffer emotional and mental trauma.

Those young upstarts who spew bullshit and nonsense about giving room for the war criminal to return to this land and live out the remaining moments of his disgusting life have yet to experience what his numerous victims had gone through and so many of them have perished as a result of his tyranny against this land!

I am just thinking as to whether these folks will still think the same if they have even one instance of suffering under the Communist Party of Malaya under Chin Peng's leadership?

They sure would be crying for his head if it happened to them! That's for sure!!!

My sympathies to all the grieving families of the victims of the Japanese Army and the bloody CPM of Chin Peng!

Al Fatihah!

PM 1Malaysia terkejut ? Biar betul brader....takkan lupa kot?



























Assalamualaikum Pak Najib!

Janganlah dok buat terkejut terkejut ni!

Itu sudah kira biasa ma...along memang itu maciam!

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

Ha...itu mungkin dailog yang diucapkan oleh Along Along Malaysia pada Pak Najib, PM 1 Malaysia jika berjumpa.

Soalnya takkan Najib tak tahu bahawa ramai orang Malaysia ni hidup kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang, jika tak kais , kebulor sokmo!

Pak Najib mungkin tak perasan benda ni semua sebab macam orang kata, semua keperluan Pak Najib ditanggung beres dek Kerajaan Malaysia.

Makan minum semua di tanggung, ....saya tak sampai hati nak sambung pantun...pikir pikir lah sendiri.

Cuba ujudkan satu bank untuk membantu orang ramai yang susah ni ala ala Grameen Bank yang di tubuhkan oleh Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus dari Bangladesh tu untuk memberi pinjaman mikro tanpa cagaran kepada rakyat Malaysia yang tengah susah ni?

Mahu tak mahu saja brader!

Cuba perah kepala otak tu skit untuk jayakan program ini, mesti masyarakat sanjung Pak Najib sebagai Bapa Bantuan Negara!

Biar lah berjasa pada rakyat Pak Najib!

Insya Allah, mungkin ada harapan sambung tugas lepas PRU ke 13!

Takkan nak jadi PM 1 penggal, kan?

Selamat berJumaat Pak Najib.

Rajin rajin lah salam dengan jamaah nanti!

Malaysian Indian Protesters and the PDRM - Reasons for their confrontations?

Greetings dear fellow Malaysians.

I would like to share about what I see being the main reasons why when Malaysian Indian protesters converge illegally on to the streets and roads of this nation's capital and major cities or towns, they almost always run afoul of the law and get the full brunt of the PDRM's counter measures?

I can't help but notice that those who organize the protests and gatherings of Malaysian Indians who feel strongly about anything that concerns them and members of their community always seem to fail in taking the safety and well being of those whom they fire up emotionally to join them in their agendas and missions to show their unhappiness about any such causes or issues.

These protest organizers usually will come across like roaring lions and stoke the fires of dissatisfaction's in the hearts and minds of the beleaguered Malaysian Indian populace without thinking of the consequences of such direct confrontations between the protesters and the full might of armed to the teeth police and law enforcement security forces.

I do not see why time after time, we still have to see the people be aroused into being sacrificial lambs and led to the slaughter by those politicians and social activists who themselves almost always get to escape the full measure of counter action taken by the law enforcement troops and in turn are heralded and iconized as the 'people's champion and so on and so forth?

What is the fruit of such unnecessary confrontations and whipping up of religious and racially based fervor which often ends up as propaganda which only serves to worsen the situation between the Malaysian Indian community and the powers that be?


I wish to call upon the Malaysian Indians here to understand that their lot here is not as terrible as over there in Sri Lanka.

It is true that the plight of the Tamils in Sri Lanka is very much due to the blatant discrimination and racially biased Singhalese Government's persecution of the Tamils of Sri Lanka.


The LTTE @ Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam that came into being as a result of the Sri Lankan Government's injustice against them however also proved that even they the LTTE were not really just in their dealing with the other minority living together with them there in that island nation!

The LTTE massacred hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankan Indian Muslims in their 25 year rampage through Sri Lanka!

Another massacre by the LTTE in Sri Lanka of innocent civilians videofilmed by them for record:




We have yet to see Malaysian Indians (those who are innocent of criminal activities) ending up in such a fate, massacred by the Malaysian Law Enforcement Agencies!

May Allah Forbid!

Back to the matter of staging political and social activism based protests and demonstrations by the leaders of the Malaysian Indians.

Are the leaders and the organizers of such protests dreaming of achieving a political coup over the ruling government of Malaysia ala Thailand, Indonesia or the Philippines?

I'd advise them to please wake the hell up!

Malaysians are simply not up to it.

No sirree.

For one thing, you do not have the numbers.

The majority of Malaysians are simply not bothered to create extraordinary political change overnight as like those 3 Asian countries.

I pity the majority of those amongst the Malaysian Indians who keep falling into the political traps of the 'elite few' out there amongst them today who rouse the people into gathering on the streets and roads of our nation's cities and towns but do not realize that when it comes to facing the law enforcement juggernaut it is not the leaders who will dare to face up to the might and brunt of the police force but the ordinary Malaysian Indians who have to suffer the most!!!

I still believe that if the leaders of these protests and demonstrations really truly care for the Malaysian Indians, they will use their intellect to go about it in a more practical, diplomatic way by having direct meetings with the authorities concerned or involved?

Look at the way some other communities use the courts and justice system no matter how screwed up it is to pursue their cases and causes?

I have yet to see the Malaysian Christian community take to the streets to protest this and that although we all know that they have been vocal about many issues and concerns affecting them and their faith here.

All I hear and see both with my own eyes and through the online and offline media is the Malaysian Indian community being forced to confront the FRU and other law enforcement agencies through the endless protests and demonstrations cooked up by the ones who almost always have something brewing all the time.

My hope is to see no more Malaysians from whatever community or faith having to be put to danger by those political maestros who in actuality are the ones who seek fame and glory to appease their insatiable needs to be heralded, garlanded and carried as the Makkal's champions!

My question is that when the protest is over and the people return, drenched, water cannoned and tear gassed into submission, back home to nurse their wounds and treat their attained injuries after confronting the full force of the law enforcement juggernauts, what victory have they @ the common people achieved that has improved their lot and life's?

We need to weigh the pros and cons of all these ceaseless protests and demonstrations that are being organized and carried out like clockwork since the last GE!

What good has it done for the Malaysian Indians community?

I know that most of them are good, decent citizens who if taken care of by their elected representatives would want no part in all these confrontations but due to the fact that there remains injustice in the way this country is being ruled, are at times left no room but to stand up and make their voices heard in order to live with whatever little dignity is left for them to carry on as the sons and daughters of this land called Malaysia.

I wish that those who think that by driving the people's passions aflame and goad them into going out there onto the roads and streets of this nation, will please have pity on them and spare them further harm and heartaches in the real sense of the word.

If you truly care for them, there are still many ways and platforms which you can use to both your benefit and theirs by going about it in the decent, intellectual ways that are available to those who know how to acquire them?

My prayers are for the well being of all my fellow Malaysians and it is in my heartfelt wishes that no one Malaysian is harmed just to fulfill another's goals and mission.

Insya Allah.

May the people be protected and guarded by those who have been trusted by them to lead them to a better tomorrow.

Ameen.

Malaysian Political Reform Deformed.






Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
May Peace, Mercy and Blessings of Allah be upon you.

Dear fellow Malaysians.

Not a day has gone by without the nation seeing the so called political reform that was promised us by those who have now come into power in certain states turning into nothing but political rhetoric and now totally deformed from the average Malaysian voters expectations.

Instead of working on improving the lots and lives of those who voted for them, politicians from both sides of the field are staging nonsensical gimmicks and theatrics day in and day out with the hope that the public will garland them as their champions and heroes of the day, worthy of being worshiped and iconized for posterity.

Is that the reason why we voted these political rhetoric spewing fellows in the first place?

I voted for Khalid Ibrahim in my constituency of Bandar Tun Razak here in KL. Has anything good come from it? Nothing out of the ordinary.

Life remains the same for us here. Nothing to show or boast of for the infrastructure of this parliamentary has already been well developed and the emergence of the Dataran Dwitasik new township in Bandar Sri Permaisuri adjacent to Bandar Tun Razak is just part and parcel of the development brought about by the Barisan Nasional government before this.

The new masjid at Bandar Sri Permaisuri was officially opened to the Muslim ummah here recently. This is a project of the BN. Thank you for that.

I have yet to learn of any new developments or improvements to our life's here in Bandar Tun Razak by Khalid Ibrahim, the PKR's Member of Parliament here whom I voted for in the last GE.

Ever since the nation saw a change in the Perak State Government brought about by the 3 'Pakatan Rakyat' turncoats @ Jelapang DAP State Assemblywoman Hee Yit Foong, PKR Behrang State Assemblyman Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and PKR Changkat Jering State Assemblyman Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu who turned traitors to their voters, the State of Perak Darul Ridzuan became a political circus and remains as a permanent game of a tug of war between the BN and the 'Pakatan Rakyat'.

Has this situation brought about any good for the state or the whole country?

Not really.

So much precious time and resources has been wasted by both parties @ the 'Pakatan Rakyat' and by the Barisan Nasional.

Instead of working as they should to improve the lives of the ones who voted them into power, the political turncoats inspired by Anwar Ibrahim's call for the BN MP's to jump ship on 16th September 2008 to topple the BN Federal Government of Malaysia, the 3 'Pakatan Rakyat' political frogs jumped over to the other side and screwed Anwar Ibrahim's dream to become the next Malaysian Prime Minister and resulted in producing the political seesaw in Perak that came into being now!

Frankly speaking, the way that the then Perak Menteri Besar went about dishing out 999 years land titles to the Perak Chinese caused the Malays to cry foul and unleashed a backlash that reverberated to crack open their slim majority over the BN in the Perak State Assembly.

Speaking on a matter of principle, the 3 seats of the turncoats should have been declared vacant and by elections held there to get a fresh vote and political mandate from the people of Behrang, Berchang and Jelapang.

Acknowledging them to be still legitimate representatives of the 3 constituencies initiates a ground for future political treacheries to be committed by other State Assemblymen or women and Members of Parliament nationwide.

This is not only a criminal breach of trust that has been accepted by the Perak Sultan and the Malaysian Judiciary but morally and religiously wrong in Islam and all other forms of faiths and beliefs.

The Perak State political turmoil has now become a benchmark of political rhetoric and reform gone wrong and brews a vile concoction of political distrust between the people and the very persons who are supposed to be in their service.

Where is the legitimacy of allowing those 3 turncoats to remain as the assemblymen and women there in Berchang, Behrang and Jelapang?

No doubt that the Perak BN under the leadership of Zambry Abdul Kadir are gripping the seats of their ill gotten power very tightly out of the legal technicality granted to them by the Malaysian Judiciary, we ought to remember that if judged according to Islamic Laws and Principles of Syariah, the current BN State Government of Perak is actually haram for having the majority of seats brought about by the criminal breach of trusts of the voters of the 3 constituencies!

This is the reality and we who are true Muslims must bear in mind that Almighty Allah is watching us and all who are part and parcel of the current political seesaw between the BN and the 'PR'.

I call for the 3 constituencies to have a fresh by election and once the people there make their choices, for all parties concerned to accept and respect the people's decision.

Continuance of the current BN Perak State Government is not only unjust to the people of Berchang, Behrang and Jelapang but will remain as a symbol of political treachery accepted and recognised wrongfully by the Sultanate of Perak and the Federal Government of Malaysia.

Whomsoever claims to rule righteously in the Name of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala must adhere to and submit to the Hadith of Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam :

From Shahih Al Bukhari, in the Book of Ar-Riqaq, Page 990, Chapter 18 -The disappearance of Al-Amanah.

Hadith # 2114.
Narrated Hudhaifa Radhiallahu Anhu that Allah's Messenger Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam narrated to us two narrations, one of which I have seen (happening) and I am waiting for the other.

He (Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam) narrated that Al-Amanah (Trustworthiness) was preserved in the hearts of men (in the beginning -fitrah ) and then they learned it ( Al-Amanah) from the Qur'an and then they learned it from the (Prophet's) Sunna (legal ways).

He (Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam) also told us about it's disappearance, saying " A man will go to sleep whereupon Al-Amanah will be taken away from his heart and only its trace will remain, resembling the traces of fire.

He then will sleep whereupon the remainder of Al-Amanah will also be taken away (from his heart) and its trace will resemble a blister which is raised over the surface of skin, when an ember touches one's foot; and in fact, this blister does not contain anything.

So there will come a day when people will deal in business with each other but there will hardly be any trustworthy persons amongst them.

Then it will be said that in such and such a tribe ( *or political party or NGO) there is such and such a person who is honest, and a man will be admired for his intelligence, good manners and strength, though indeed he will not have belief (Iman) equal to a mustard seed in his heart!"

(The narrator ~ Hudhaifa Radhiallahu Anhu added) : There came upon me a time when I did not mind dealing with any of you, for if he was a Muslim ; his religion would prevent him from cheating, and if he was a Christian, his Muslim ruler would prevent him from cheating ; but today I cannot deal except with so-and-so and so-and-so.

Sadaqa Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Dear fellow Malaysians,

Can you see that what the blessed Prophet of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala warned us about has come to pass?

Today, we are seeing all that the Prophet Muhammad ibni Abdullah, Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam prophesied a thousand four hundred over years ago come to be proven true as in the case of the political mayhem we have here amongst us!

We trusted people who stood for elections based upon what we perceived them to be and to stand by what they claimed to hold and live by?

As prophesied by Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam Muhammad Khataman Nabiyyi, the example and case of these 3 treacherous State Assembly men and woman breached the trusts of their Behrang, Berchang and Jelapang constituents and became political turncoats due to their nafs and greed has been proven true of the disappearance of Al-Amanah @ Trustworthiness.

The entire Malaysian Government and Malay Sultanates reek of such instances of the disappearance of Al-Amanah as prophesied by Almighty Allah's Greatest Messenger a thousand four hundred over years ago to the dot!

The so called Malaysian political reform that you and I dreamed about and desired has sadly been deformed and exposed to be nothing but mere rhetorics by both parties and all those who claim to be the righteous rulers @ `Ulul `Amri of this land.

Corruption, embezzlement, treachery, criminal breach of trusts in all levels of the Malaysian society manifests itself by the reports and complaints we read about and published day in and day out without fail in all the media mass communications we have here today with us and yet the disappearance of those whom we can trust by the day continues to stab us in our hearts and minds by its sharpest of realities.

Who can we trust?

Tell me!!!

Bear in mind that I am speaking just based upon the criminal breach of trusts by the 3 Perak State Assembly men and woman in this article. I do not support the antics of both the BN and the 'PR' in the Perak Crisis. Thank you.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatulillahi Ta'ala Wabarakatuh.

APAKAH FUNGSI PUSAT ZAKAT dan BAITULMAL? Pertanyaan Mr.KETAM

Blogger Mr.KETAM said...

Assalamualaikum..

Tuan bukan saya nak mengajar bab-bab agama dan urusan pentadbiran majlis agama negeri tetapi APAKAH FUNGSI PUSAT ZAKAT dan BAITULMAL??

Bukankah umat ISLAM yg miskin ini adalah termasuk didalam ASNAF yang berhak? Apakah mereka ini tak layak menerima bantuan?

Seperti di Selangor ramai ibu tunggal dan fakir miskin yg tiada rumah tetapi banyak rumah (flat PKNS dan pemaju lain) yg terbiar tak terjual yang harga dah jatuh bawah RM10k..kenapa tak beli dan serahkan rumah itu kepada mereka-mereka ini??

Kenapa pula perlu bina BANGUNAN yg besar sebagai PEJABAT PUSAT ZAKAT dan BAITULMAL sampai berjuta-juta ringgit tetapi jika digunakan untuk membeli "rumah-rumah murah dan flat murah" saya rasa masalah penempatan ibu-ibu tunggal dan fakir miskin telah selesai..ini termasuk lah di SEMUA NEGERI DI MALAYSIA..

Perkara-perkara remeh seperti jauh daripada punca rezeki bukan satu alasan utk membantu mereka..hendak seribu daya.

Namun semua yang HAK ini telah di POLITIK kan oleh semua pihak termasuk UMNO/BN dahulu.

Harap tuan dapat membuat kajian yg mendalam terhadap cadangan saya ini.

Mintalah nasihat daripada MUFTI PERAK dan semua MUFTI-MUFTI dan semua ahli ULAMA' (jgn lama sangat) dan sediakan garis panduan utk dijadikan contoh kepada semua Pusat Zakat,dan kemudiannya minta PERKENAN ke SEMUA KEBAWAH DULI RAJA-RAJA MELAYU untuk melaksanakannya..

Buat kempen ZAKAT utk mengalakkan UMAT ISLAM berzakat..

Harap tuan sebarkan perkara ini kepada semua PEMIMPIN UMNO ISLAM,PEMIMPIN PAS ISLAM dan PEMIMPIN PKR ISLAM untuk memikirkan perkara ini tetapi BUKAN PEMIMPIN ISLAM YG MUNAFIK.

wassalam

p/s: saya masih tak dapat menerima hakikat apabila melihat BANGUNAN PUSAT ZAKAT BERDIRI MEGAH BERJUTA RINGGIT tetap ramai UMAT ISLAM FAKIR MISKIN,IBU TUNGGAL tidak mendapat pembelaan sewajarnya..

p/ss: jgn la bila masuk TV macam program BERSAMAMU baru nak muncul kena lah pro aktif..Itu AMANAH yg BERAT.. dan sepatutnya semua KAKITANGAN PUSAT ZAKAT dan BAITULAMAL berfikir BAGAIMANA HENDAK memberi kapak atau jala kepada MEREKA bukan TERUS MEMBERI KAYU dan IKAN.

**********************************************************************************

Assalamualaikum Tuan tuan dan puan puan, saudara saudari seIslam dengan saya sekelian.

Itu adalah soalan soalan yang dikemukakan oleh saudara Mr.KETAM kepada kita semua.

Saya persilakan saudara saudari memberikan jawapan kepada saudara kita ini.

Di persilakan.

Kempen terancang menjolok 'sarang tebuan' @ PDRM.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Tuan tuan dan puan puan sewarganegara yang dihormati.

Saya ingin mengajak anda merenung sejenak akan satu perkembangan yang kurang sihat didalam negara kita sejak kebelakangan ini.

Perkembangan yang saya maksudkan adalah mengenai cara sesetengah pihak berperanan sebagai 'agent provocateur' @ pengadu domba didalam perkumpulan manusia manusia yang mempunyai agenda tertentu didalam mengadakan perhimpunan menunjuk perasaan terancang mengenai sesuatu isu atau perkara.

Cara penganjur demonstrasi ini beroperasi adalah dengan cara berkelakuan seolah teraniaya gila bila pihak berkuasa datang untuk menyuraikan mereka samada dengan cara aman atau kekerasan.

Bilamana saya menonton video video protes itu dan ini yang telah bermula sejak beberapa tahun kemudian, saya perasan satu kaedah kempen terancang memburukkan imej pihak berkuasa oleh pihak penaung dan penganjur protes protes tersebut.

Pertama kali saya perasan tentang modus operandi kumpulan ini adalah didalam peristiwa yang berlaku diantara pihak pelajar Cina di UPM bertindak seolah diri mereka dikasari oleh pelajar pelajar Melayu dengan berteriak ' Jangan gaduh! Jangan gaduh!'

Kalau tak salah saya pelajar Cina berkenaan turut muncul didalam beberapa protes anjuran aktivis Jerit dan juga beberapa siri demonstrasi jalanan lain.

Sila rujuk kembali kepada pendedahan saya tentang taktik pelajar pelajar ini cuba mencetuskan huru hara di kampus UPM dengan berlakun seolah diri mereka diserang para pelajar Melayu di universiti itu disini.

Cara mereka merancang semua kekecohan ini dengan menyediakan jurukamera Chew Siew Fong dari www.merdekareview.com, sebuah portal media bebas Cina siap merakam video menunjukkan seolah mereka yang menjadi mangsa perkauman padahal semuanya sudah sedia menjadi sebahagian perancangan mereka untuk mencetuskan pergaduhan kaum diantara para pelajar UPM.

Kini keadaan serupa sedang dilakukan oleh pihak 'agent provocateur' yang terdiri dari pihak aktivis sosial dan parti DAP serta lain lain dengan cara berkumpul menyalakan lilin dihadapan balai balai polis mengujudkan suasana kurang selesa memaksa pihak polis mengambil tindakan keatas mereka dan bilamana arahan bersurai diberikan penguasa polis di balai berkenaan, mereka degil dan terus duduk mencabar arahan polis.

Didalam kes melibatkan Adun Teratai Jenice Lee kita boleh lihat kesamaan cara yang digunakan oleh pihak pendesak siap sedia menjemput wartawan Malaysiakini merakam video ini untuk menunjukkan bahawa pihak polis yang berlaku salah terhadap mereka?

Apakejadahnya semua ini?

Dah dirancang menyediakan kek harijadi kononnya menyambut harijadi salah seorang dari aktivis mereka!

Bila masa pernah orang menyambut harijadi macam gini dihadapan rumah kedai atau pejabat?

Bukankah ini terang terangan satu usaha mencetuskan suasana kurang selesa didalam negara ini dengan menjolok sarang tebuan dan bila tebuan menyengat menjerit memekak mengadu di aniaya?

Ini sudah melampau!

Saya tidak menyokong cara mereka ini membuat kacau didalam negara kita dan berharap pihak polis tidak memberi muka terhadap mana mana 'agent provocateur' seperti ini dan mendakwa mereka menimbulkan kekacauan dikhalayak umum!

Pihak media seperti yang bekerjasama dengan 'agent provocateur' ini harus mengambil kira akan natijah menjadi tali barut dan bersubahat didalam mengujudkan suasana tidak stabil didalam negara!

Cuba tengok cara seorang politikus DAP mendakwa kedudukan Ahli Parlimen DAP itu lebih tinggi dari OCPD Brickfields!


Betapa angkuh dan sombongnya mereka ini! Apa kah sudah merasa diri itu kebal dari undang undang bila menjadi Ahli Parlimen?

Boleh saja mengadakan perhimpunan haram sesuka hati mereka dan merasa diri itu 'untouchables?'

Saya merasa ada kemungkinan cubaan pihak pihak pengacau ini akan membawa kepada trajedi berdarah didalam waktu terdekat ini jika terus dicuba mencemar maruah pihak polis dan mengasak mereka setiap hari sejak akhir akhir ini!

Silap haribulan akan ada yang meninggal karang disebabkan kekecohan yang kini sedang cuba dicetuskan!

Apa dah kemaruk sangat untuk merasai zaman darurat kembali?

Pepatah lama 'Sarang tebuan jangan dijolok' bukan main main. Silap haribulan bukan muka saja yang membengkak, nanti ada yang tamat riwayat akibat keadaan tidak terkawal!

Jika di zaman British, sudah lama komandan balai akan memerintah anak buahnya menembak mati puak puak yang degil berkumpul sebegitu?

Nasib mereka ini agak baik sebab setakat ditangkap dan disumbat kedalam lokap sahaja! Entahlah!

Manusia didalam negara ini kekadang tak sadar diri di untung!!!

Berani buat ; berani tanggung lah!

Sendiri mau ingat aa! Jangan bila dah kena peluru sesat ke apa, baru nak menyesal!

Jika gatal juga hendak pergi jolok sarang tebuan, maka bersedialah merasai sengatnya!!!

Mountain Trekking and Climbing in Malaysia - The videos by samadyahaya.

If there is one thing that I love to do even at this age is to go trek or journey up into the hills and mountain areas of this blessed land of Malaysia.

When I was living in Penang, I used to go for jungle trekking in the hills of my home island. The usual destination was Penang Hill and the entry point was Moon Gate at Jalan Waterfall.

I didn't have the luxury of owning a camera back then nor did I own a video camera to capture all the sights and sounds of the natural tropical jungle wonderland of Penang Island.

It is just by chance that I came across these series of videos uploaded by samadyahaya, an avid mountain trekker and climber who has shot and produced such wonderful videos highlighting our precious jungles and mountain sceneries here for us to enjoy.

Thank you samadyahaya. You have done us all a great favour by sharing your videos here for those of us who might not even get a chance to climb those hills and mountains in our life.

Gunung Ledang Climb Part 1 of 3.

Part 2 0f 3 - Halfway up there...

Part 3 of 3 - The Summit!


After that exhilarating series of videos of his group's climb up Gunung Ledang @ Mount Ophir in the Malaysian Peninsular, samadyahaya shares with us these videos of his group's trek up the Gunung Datuk Rembau in Negeri Sembilan.
Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2.


Great company, good clean humor and an excellent record of the true Malaysian spirit!

Thanks samadyahaya for these excellent videos.

I truly enjoyed watching them.

Rembau Oh Rembau! Perjalanan lewat malam.

Assalamualaikum semua.

Baru baru ini selepas melawat Rayyan Iskandar, anak sulung pasangan anak saudara kami Azizul Azmi bin Abdul Mutalib dan isterinya Suraiza Abdul Razak, saya terus memandu menuju ke Negeri Sembilan bertujuan untuk jalan jalan cari makan.

Seperti biasa orang rumah saya terus menyokong dan setuju untuk ronda ronda mencari makan di kawasan luar bandar. Saya pun terus memandu menjelajahi lebuhraya PLUS menuju ke arah selatan tanahair.

Sebaik tiba di Seremban, saya pun memandu memusing musing di bandar itu mencari jika ada Nasi Minang atau Nasi Padang yang kelihatan. Tidak nampak satu restoran orang Melayu Nogori pun. Yang nampak hanya restoran dan bistro mamak. Dah cemuih dah makan makanan gitu.

Tergerak hati ini untuk menjelajah daerah pedalaman Negeri Sembilan. Rembau menjadi tempat tujuan. Saya terus memandu di kegelapan malam menuju ke destinasi pilihan.

Sepanjang jalanraya yang tidak berlampu itu, kelihatan berbalam balam susuk tubuh manusia berjalan di tepian jalan. Berbisik didalam hati, ' Takkan tidak boleh dipasang lampu jalan untuk kemudahan awam?

Bukan kah kawasan ini dibawah pengawasan menantu mantan Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke 5? Khairy Jamaludin! Ketua Pemuda UMNO!

Saya terus memandu dan melepasi beberapa pekan pekan kecil yang kelihatan lengang. Masih awal malam lagi tetapi suasana dikawasan itu sudah sunyi sepi. Tidur awal lah nampaknya masyarakat dikawasan sebegitu bisik hati saya.

Selepas memandu beberapa lama, akhirnya kelihatan papantanda menyambut ketibaan kami ke Daerah Rembau, Bumi Beradat.

Rupa rupanya Pekan Rembau ini tidaklah terbangun sangat. Ianya hanya sebuah pekan kecil dengan bangunan bangunan setingkat sederet yang nampak seperti peninggalan zaman British.































Balai Polis Rembau.
















Di satu kawasan ada bangunan 2 tingkat yang menempatkan kedai kedai biasa.

Pada malam Sabtu itu sedang berlangsung Pasar Malam di Rembau. Itu sahaja tempat yang sedang aktif terang benderang dengan segala macam perniagaan. Saya serahkan kamera kepada isteri meminta beliau merakamkan suasana itu sambil saya memandu menyusur jalan sempit yang kiri kanan dipenuhi kenderaan.

Saya terfikir bahawa mungkin pasar malam itu sahaja perkara yang mengaktifkan keadaan di Rembau pada malam minggu begitu. Jika tidak sunyi lah Rembau seperti malam malam biasa.

Perut sudah mula berkeroncong tetapi tidak kelihatan mana mana tempat masakan Minang atau Padang yang saya hajati.

Kecewa sedikit didalam hati namun saya bersyukur sekurang kurangnya dapat juga saya sampai ke kawasan ini yang belum pernah lagi kaki saya menjejaki sejak lahir di bumi bertuah ini.

Saya kembali memandu keluar dari Pekan Rembau, hampa kerana ianya tidak seperti yang saya harapkan.

Didalam hati saya berkata memang amat sukar bagi Khairy Jamaludin untuk dapat merubah Rembau menjadi pusat ekonomi daerah kerana terlalu banyak peruntukan yang akan diperlukan untuk melaksanakan apa apa di situ.

Namun sekiranya Khairy mengambil iktibar mengujudkan satu kompleks makanan Nasi Minang atau Nasi Padang Negeri Sembilan disana, mungkin akan dapat mencetuskan semarak pembangunan disitu.

Orang orang seperti saya yang gemarkan masakan tradisi Minang sudah tentu akan datang menjamu selera disana. Orang awam Malaysia memang kaki makan.

Khairy perlu bijak menggunakan ilmu pengetahuannya untuk mengasaskan industri 'Pelancungan Masakan Nogori' untuk menggamit para pelancung tempatan dan luar negara singgah di Rembau merasakan masakan tempatan.

Hendak seribu daya ; tak hendak seribu dalih!

Saya cuba singgah di tepi Sg Rembau yang nampak seperti ada pusat makanan disana. Suasana suram dan hambar membuatkan hati ini tidaklah begitu bersemangat hendak makan malam disana.

Kemudahan tandas awam pun tidak disediakan. Yang ada tandas cangkung dibelakang sebuah gerai disana yang tidak menepati ISO hamba.

Lantas tak jadi singgah disitu lama lama. Batal program.

Saya terus mengambil keputusan untuk kembali saja ke KL dan mungkin akan singgah di R&R Seremban Arah Utara untuk menjamu selera.

Saya pun terus memandu mencari arah ke Lebuhraya PLUS balik. Setelah memandu menyusuri kegelapan malam dengan disuluh lampu kereta dari arah bertentangan yang kebanyakan pemandunya seolah kurang ilmu dan sifat bertimbang rasa sebab masing masing menggunakan lampu tinggi @ highlight dan tidak menurunkannya bila berselisih dengan kenderaan, saya dengan hati yang tidak berapa seronok terus memandu mencari jalan susur ke lebuhraya PLUS.

Akhirnya sampai ke persimpangan ke lebuhraya itu. Singgah sekejap melepaskan hajat di tandas PLUS yang disediakan ditepi tol. Alhamdulillah, keadaan ditandas itu amat memuaskan sebab diselenggara dengan baik oleh seorang pekerja Bangladesh.

Syukur Alhamdulillah dengan adanya mereka dinegara ini. Orang tempatan memang lembab nak mampos untuk bekerja sebegitu dah.

Selepas selesai urusan teramat penting itu untuk mengosongkan tangki kecil diri, maka kami kembali semula meneruskan perjalanan kami. Kali ini adalah menuju balik ke KL dan sudah merancang untuk singgah di R&R Seremban Arah Utara.

Sampai sahaja disana, saya meletakkan kereta dibawah pokok dilot yang disediakan dan kami terus ke ruang jualan makanan. Alhamdulillah, masakan disana boleh tahan. Selepas makan, kami menuju balik ke kereta.

Terkejut saya melihat bumbung kereta dan cermin depan habis dibom oleh burung burung yang memekak bising berciut ciut agaknya gumbira kerana telah melepaskan hajat mereka ke atas kenderaan kami yang tidak bernasib baik!!!

Hahahaha...dengan hati yang geram bercampor perasaan lucu kerana tidak memikirkan akan natijah meletak kenderaan dibawah pokok pada sebelah malam, saya terus mengubah kereta dan masuk ke lot yang terdedah, jauh dari rimbunan pokok pokok yang penuh dengan burung burung yang singgah bermalam disana sambil melepaskan bom bom pelbagai rupa dan warna.

Saya mengambil botol air 5liter yang ada didalam but kereta dan terus pergi mencari air paip. Pekerja Bangla yang sedang membasuh pinggan mangkok sudi mengisi botol air saya itu dan saya kembali membersihkan kereta kami dari najis burung burung itu. Dua kali saya terpaksa kembali mengisi botol 5 liter itu dan mencuci kereta sehingga hilang habis najis burung itu dan kereta kami kembali bersih dan berkilat. :)

Alhamdulillah!

Saya nampak ada dua kereta yang mengisi tempat yang saya kosongkan tadi. Pemandunya sedang leka menghisap rokok menikmati suasana riuh kebisingan burung burung itu. Tak sampai hati saya untuk membiarkan ia pulak menjadi mangsa hujan bom najis beburung itu.

Saya terus berteriak kepada mereka dan mengingatkan akan natijah meletak kenderaan mereka di bawah pokok itu. Hahahaha. Bingkas mereka terus berterimakasih kepada saya di atas peringatan terpenting itu dan segera memandu keluar kereta masing masing jauh dari zon pelepasan bom maha melekat dan membusuk itu. :P

Saya kembali memandu balik menuju rumah kami di KL dan walaupun agak kecewa dengan kehambaran suasana pekan Rembau yang memang tidak segah mana dengan pekan pekan lain di semenanjung tetapi bersyukur jua kerana akhirnya tertunai sudah hajat dihati untuk melihat keadaan di Rembau dengan mata kepala sendiri.

Khairy Jamaludin kini terpaksa melakukan perkara perkara yang luarbiasa disana seandainya ingin membuktikan kebolehannya untuk menjadi Ahli Parlimen Rembau yang boleh berbangga dengan kemakmuran yang dibawa olehnya atau bersedia untuk dikutuk 'bagai tanah pelempar balam ; kalau mujur tiba dibalam, kalau tidak surut ke tanah!'.

Maksud peribahasa di atas adalah : 'Usaha yang tidak bersungguh sungguh'.

Saya kira bukan mudah untuk Khairy melakukan perubahan di Rembau didalam tempoh terhad sepenggal menjadi Ahli Parlimen disana tetapi sekiranya ia betul betul ikhlas ingin berkhidmat kepada masyarakat Rembau dengan menjadi wakil mereka di Parlimen, maka mulakanlah dengan projek yang pasti membuahkan hasil seperti cadangan saya untuk mengadakan Pusat Makanan Nogori yang saya kira boleh sahaja dilaksanakan tanpa banyak halangan.

Mudah2an Rembau akan maju dan makmur seperti tempat lain di Malaysia ini.

Amin.

Can converts to Islam revert back to their born beliefs?






Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
In the name of Allah, (God), Most Merciful, Most Compassionate.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
(May) Peace be upon you with the Mercy of Allah and (His) Blessings!

Dear brothers and sisters.

The subject that I would like to broach on today is the question whether Islam allows those who were formerly Kaffirs and have embraced it officially to revert back to their Kufr beliefs?

This is a constant problem that crops up when those who are Kaffirs convert to Islam purely for the reason of marrying someone whom they love who happens to be a Muslim (male or female).

Such a conversion which is done not based on one's faith in Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala but more inclined towards legalizing one's union with his or her Muslim lover almost always ends in both a legal and religious wrangle when things go sour between them.

I choose to write about this matter concerning those of us Malaysians who come from many faiths and ethnicities and often hear of such cases cropping up now and then amongst our population.

Even as I start this topic, there is a raging thread of discussions in an online group of which I am subscribed to as a member.

This issue is being hotly discussed in the forum but the answers and views which are being submitted by those who are Non Muslims reflect a serious lack of understanding about what Islam has to say about such matters and many of the statements by the concerned ones smacks of gross misunderstanding and misinformation?

Now, let me start by emphasizing that there is no compulsion upon any Kaffir to embrace Islam!

The Holy Al Qur'an Al Karim which is The Last (Final) and Complete Testament of Allah (God Almighty) for all mankind has this to say about the matter :







256. La ikraha fee alddeeni qad tabayyana alrrushdu mina alghayyi faman yakfur bialttaghooti wayu/min biAllahi faqadi istamsaka bialAAurwati alwuthqa la infisama laha waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun

256. Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things.

This is in Surah Al Baqarah ( The Heifer), Chapter 2 Verse 256.

In the verse above, Allah the Almighty stresses to us not to compel anyone into Islam. This is referring to those who are not born into Islam. Those who are born as Muslims shoulder the responsibility to study about their birthright and learn from authentic sources of the Knowledge of Islam in order to understand their obligations as a Muslim.

The next verse after the above warns mankind of the consequences that they will face in the Hereafter when they reject faith and refuse to submit to Him out of their choice.







257. Allahu waliyyu allatheena amanoo yukhrijuhum mina alththulumati ila alnnoori waallatheena kafaroo awliyaohumu alttaghootu yukhrijoonahum mina alnnoori ila alththulumati ola-ika as-habu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona

257. God is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).

Allah makes it very clear to mankind of the consequences of our choices. Those of us who submit to Allah are promised salvation and those who choose to reject Him will face retribution. Plain and simple.

Those who choose to embrace Islam for whatever reasons must understand the reality that becoming a Muslim is a choice between Haqq and Batil. Right or wrong. Light or Darkness. Heaven or Hell. Between becoming a Believer or remaining as a Kaffir.

Becoming a Muslim is not something that you do at the spur of the moment. Just because you fall in love with someone who is a Muslim, doesn't warrant that you embrace Islam and utter the Kalimah Shahadah just like the pledge to be a Boy Scout or Girl Guide?

This is something that you do not take as an idle club membership or belonging into a college or university campus fraternity!

Uttering the Kalima Shahadah requires you to believe in Allah the Almighty God and Creator in the truest of sense, belief, faith, understanding and total submission of your entire being to be a true Servant of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala!!!

There is no turning back into Kufr after one chooses out of his or her own volition to become a Muslim @ Believer in Almighty Allah!

You do not have the right to rescind your submission to Him, the Almighty God and Supreme Master of all that there is!

This is the reality of becoming a Muslim.

Islam is submitting to Allah. Period.

It is not a club membership. Or is it a cult or whatever else that ignorants choose to spout or spew forth from their misguidance.

Becoming a Muslim is the birthright of each and every human being here on Earth.

Yet Islam does not compel any Kaffir to submit out of their own hidden agenda of just wanting to be with a Muslim or Muslimah for the sake of legalizing their union of marriage based not on one's true faith in Islam but more of a legal convenience.

Such a union of marriage is doomed to end up in disaster for the foundation of such a relationship was built on false pretenses.

Not really a true believer but more of being an insincere useless pretender.

Putting up an act of being a Muslim in order to dupe his or her spouse that they did so sincerely out of faith in Allah and accepting Islam for all that it is.

Thus, Islam discourages such a false conversion into it in the first place.

I do not wish to dwell upon other nation's legalities, practices and regulations concerning such conversions for it is not within my understanding of their foreign norms and cultures.

I speak based upon the situation here in our land, the Kingdom of Malaysia.

There are many cases of Malaysian Indians and Chinese embracing Islam just because they want to get married to the Malays, Indian Muslims, Chinese Muslims, etc.

Quite a number of them embrace Islam just for show.

They dishonestly utter their Kalima Shahadah out of the need to fulfill the religious and official regulations here in Malaysia and put up a great act of becoming a Muslim just to get that Certificate of Conversion into Islam to marry their chosen Muslim partner.

Remember the case of Siti Fatima Tan binti Abdullah and her Iranian husband?

That's a classic example of such false pretenses of one embracing Islam for one's practical needs.

Depending on the Aqeedah ( Bedrock of Faith) of their Muslim partner, chances are that if the Muslim spouse him or herself aren't really a true practitioner of Islam, the couple will live just a life devoid of Iman and Amals.

Iman being Faith @ Belief and Amals which are the Deeds @ Practices of Islam.

Failure to live according to the tenets and principles of Islam leads to a life prone to straying away of the couple's promise to be true to one another and almost often leads to a souring of their feelings towards each other.

Once the 'honeymoon is over' and the relationship is tested times and times again based upon the false beliefs upon which that union was made, the tendency to call it a day will rear its ugly head and the one who pretended to be a Muslim will just come up and say;

' Hey! It's been great knowing you but I guess it's time for me to wish you well and say goodbye!

No hard feelings but I think you know it as well that we aren't exactly made for each other till Kingdom come or Death do us part, so what do you say we call it quits, eh?

You know that I became a Muslim just because I loved you but now that we are no longer comfortable being together and I really don't subscribe to all this staying away from all that I used to enjoy is really becoming sort of a major headache for me, I'd really like to stop all these and go back to what I was before?

You know for sure that I have really not believed in all this and that I became a Muslim just to qualify marrying you!

So what do you say, huh?"

That my dear brothers and sisters is the likely conversation that usually takes place between these couples where one of them embraced Islam not out of faith in Allah but more to enable them to get married according to our Malaysian Islamic Authorities regulations and stipulations.

A marriage of convenience and a conversion based upon deceit and a hidden agenda of the one who is a great pretender.

My advice to those of you who are not really amongst those who truly believe in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is to spare all of us the misery and heartaches.

Please do not embrace Islam just because you have the hots for someone who is a Muslim.

Please! The nation does not need this kind of theatrics.

If we want to go watch a damn good kick ass play or what, we will head on over to Istana Budaya and enjoy that play well and not have to suffer further scandals and unnecessary legal mumbo jumbo from those who just so love to create and dwell on such controversies spiced with religious fervor and official tug of wars between those of us who champion and defend Islam and those who make a killing in legal fees whilst enjoy being mainstream media darlings!

Spare us the heartaches. I beg you.

~@~~@~~@~~@~~@~

If on the other hand, you really truly believe in Allah and Al Islam, know that it is your Fitrah @ Birthright to be one of us who are Muslims!

Then by all means, come and be with us in the Ikhwanul Muslimin na wal Muslimat.

Islam is your right as well as ours.

No one can stop you from becoming a Muslim except your own self.

Not wishing to stray away from the subject matter, I wish to remind those who are not sincere in wanting to be a Muslim and just want to put up a class act of being one, is to please stop the nonsense and please be as you really, truly are?

It's not a kind thing to do to someone whom you love or desire. To pretend loving them, giving them false hopes and once you have had your satisfaction of having them for a while, choose to turn your back on them and desert them for greener pastures or fresher 'meat'.

Treachery of such kind will come back to haunt you. This I promise.

For Life is just like a boomerang. It will come back to kick you in your ass or in your life. Just like a knife. It will cut you when you are careless.

You who leaves a bleeding heart behind will not be spared from suffering the same yourself.

What goes around comes around. This has been proven in so many cases since Time immemorial and Almighty God Who created us knows very well what is in our hearts and minds?

Do have a heart and stop creating unnecessary and needless problems for our fragile nation.

We do not need pretenders amongst us, believe me. We already have a fair share in the ummah.

Islam is for Believers ; not Deceivers!

You want to pretend?

Please go and join a theater.

Remain as you are if you lack the faith and spare all those who have come to trust and believe in you if you really are not up to it in living life as a true Muslim or Muslimah.

Those who have embraced Islam, be reminded that it is a solemn declaration of faith towards Almighty Allah and believe me you do not want to mess with Him.

He can be the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful if He so wants but if you incur His Wrath, then my friend, who is there that can spare you from what you deserve and coming to you?

Be a Muslim or remain as a Kaffir!

It's best that you decide well and be truthful about it.

There is no in between the two.

You either choose to live in Faith or Disbelief.

The choice is yours.

Have a blessed Jumaat O Muslims and to those who aren't, ' May Allah bless you with His Guidance!'

Ameen.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Dunia Akhir Zaman - Darul Maksiat & Jenayah Tajaan Kerajaan

Assalamualaikum ya Ikhwanul Muslimin na wal Muslimat.















Apakah ada papan tanda peringatan sebegini di tempat anda?

Jika ada pun, apakah ada kekuatan prinsip didalam hati dan sanubari pemerintah daerah atau kawasan anda untuk menjalankan hukuman rejam yang di perintahkan Allah, Tuhan Rabbul Jalil keatas pesalah jenayah zina yang ditangkap dan dibuktikan sabit kesalahannya?

Sekiranya anda penduduk Malaysia, maka anda tidak usah khuatir kerana pemerintah disini ada rang undang undang jenayah syariah buatan sendiri yang boleh dibawa berbincang.

Ya. Macam pepatah orang Indonesia ' Bisa di atur pak! Ditanggung beres!'

Hukum bagi pesalah zina didalam Syariah Islam sebenar benarnya menurut Hukum Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala didalam Kitab Al Quranul Karim, Surah An Nur Bab 24 Ayat ke2 adalah :







2. Alzzaniyatu waalzzanee faijlidoo kulla wahidin minhuma mi-ata jaldatin wala ta/khuthkum bihima ra/fatun fee deeni Allahi in kuntum tu/minoona biAllahi waalyawmi al-akhiri walyashhad AAathabahuma ta-ifatun mina almu/mineena

2.
Perempuan yang berzina dan lelaki yang berzina, hendaklah kamu sebat tiap-tiap seorang dari keduanya seratus kali sebat; dan janganlah kamu dipengaruhi oleh perasaan belas kasihan terhadap keduanya dalam menjalankan hukum ugama Allah, jika benar kamu beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat; dan hendaklah disaksikan hukuman seksa yang dikenakan kepada mereka itu oleh sekumpulan dari orang-orang yang beriman.

2. The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,--flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.

Sadaqallah hal adzhim.

Tuan tuan dan puan puan,

Pemerintah di Malaysia ternyata lebih hebat didalam mengendalikan soal jenayah zina ini dan segala bijak pandai, alim ulamak dan mereka yang dipertanggungjawabkan menjaga urusan hal ehwal Agama Islam nan maha suci ini amat berani sekali dengan menggubal rang undang undang syariah versi mereka sendiri dan menidakkan Hukum Tuhan Semesta Alam!

Iya tuan tuan. Saksikanlah hukum Undang undang Syariah ala Mamluk al Malaisie dibawah :






















Sila klik pada paparan imej imbasan Undang undang Syariah versi Kerajaan Mamluk al Malaisie ini untuk melihatnya didalam paparan lebih jelas.

Muslimin dan Muslimat sekelian.

Saksikan dan perbandingkanlah betapa bilamana manusia yang di amanahkan Allah menjaga urusan umat Islam didunia ini memandai mandai mengubah perintah dan ketentuan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dimuka bumi ini dengan ENGKAR TERHADAP HUKUM ALLAH dengan mendenda para penzina dengan jumlah wang ringgit sebanyak 5 ribu ringgit sahaja dan dikurangkan hukum sebatan kepada hanya 6 kali sebatan sahaja dari 100 sebatan yang terang terangan diperintah Allah Azza Wa Jalla, maka apalah hendak dihairankan bilamana didalam Mamluk al Malaisie ini, zina, liwat, rogol, persundalan, sumbang mahram dan sebagainya teramatlah subur menjadinya sehingga saya rasa kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia sudah naik mangli @ tidak sensitif lagi terhadap jenayah yang teramat keji ini?

Apa pernah saudara saudari mendengar mana mana penzina didalam negara ini dijatuhkan hukum sebat oleh Mahkamah Syariah mana mana negeri didalam Malaysia?

Saya tidak tahu samada Negeri Kelantan Darul Naim yang dibawah perintah Parti seIslam Malaysia sejak 1990 ada menjalankan hukum sebat keatas pesalah zina walau dengan satu sebatan sekalipun didalam tempoh pemerintahan mereka sekian lama ini?

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala terang terangan memerintah hukum 100 kali sebatan keatas pesalah zina didalam Ayat ke2 Surah An Nur yang saya paparkan diatas.

Manusia yang mengaku menjadi Ketua Agama Negeri @ Sultan dan Raja Melayu boleh pula mendiamkan diri bilamana digubal undang undang yang engkar dan menghina Hukum Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala secara terang terangan begitu!!!

Apa kita masih dijajah British Kolonial?

Apa kita ini masih dibawah perintah Jepun?

Atau dibawah perintah Komunis Bintang Tiga?

Dimanakah erti kemerdekaan bagi kita yang mengaku berKerajaan yang diterajui Melayu Muslim sekiranya kita berani pula memandai mandai mengubah Hukum Allah kepada hukum ikut kepala otak raplah al jingga sebegini?

Sebab itu, minta maaf le ...saya memang tidak kagum tara mana terhadap institusi bijak pandai agama didalam negara kita kerana kebanyakan mereka bersifat dayus tahap gaban bilamana membisu, mendiamkan diri dan membiarkan jenayah pemerintah ini terhadap Amanat Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Tuhan Maha Pencipta sekelian alam ini sekian lama ini.

Saya selaku seorang hamba Allah yang daif, tidak mempunyai kuasa apa apa hanya berupaya menyatakan ketidakpuasan hati dan jiwa saya ini didalam laman maya alam siber ini sahaja menurut apa yang saya mampu selama masih hidup ini.

Kekecewaan saya semakin menjadi bilamana saya menatap suratkhabar setiap hari yang melaporkan gejala sosial semakin menjadi didalam negara yang dilaung laungkan sebagai Negara Islam oleh para pemuka pengkhianat amanat umat Islam dan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sendiri!

Apa nak dihairankan bilamana ada rakyat dan warga negara ini sendiri menjadi petualang dan pengkhianat terhadap negara ini bila para penguasa dan pemerintah negeri dan negara boleh semberono sahaja engkar dan khianat terhadap Allah Tuhan Semesta Alam sendiri?

Segalanya berpunca dan bertitik tolak dari pengkhianatan akbar para `Ulul `Amri yang tidak sedar diri!

Kekadang hati kecil saya berkata, ' Buat apalah dok pening kepala dan raplah terhadap apa yang sedang melanda negara ini?'

Namun jauh didalam benak fikiran saya berbisik pula,' Bukankah berdiam diri melihat kemungkaran itu namanya bersubahat?'

Tidak sampai pula hati saya hendak bersama sama dengan segala mangkok hayon kelas 'arboq yang memang cakap tak serupa bikin!

Peduli apa dengan berapa banyak thanawi yang dia dok bangga tak sudah dengan pencapaian lulusan ilmiahnya jika ilmunya itu tidak dimanfaatkan didalam ertikata sebenar benarnya?

*arboq didalam slanga utara adalah ' tak boleh pakai' @ useless didalam bahasa Inggeris.

Dewasa ini para pelaku zina dan maksiat dipuja dan dipuji oleh media massa perdana dan cipisan seolah itu adalah satu benda yang memang teramat penting sekali dijadikan santapan nurani mereka yang memang sudah lah berpenyakit tahap kronik didalam peribadi songsang mereka tetapi sudah sampai ketahap tak boleh nak lapor benda lain jika tidak dijadikan tajuk berita utama suratkhabar dan majallah majallah dagangan mereka!!!

Didalam internet, taip saja perkataan 'gadis melayu' dan saksikanlah berapa banyak video video bukti nyata perlakuan zina oleh mereka yang kononnya Melayu Islam itu yang timbul?

Nisbah bukti pekerjaan terkutuk zina yang keluar didalam You Tube dan laman laman blog atau Yahhogroups, Googlegroups teramatlah tinggi dikalangan mereka yang berbangsa Melayu berbanding dengan kaum lain di Malaysia ini.

Semuanya berbalik punca pada siapa?

Siapa yang berkuasa didalam negara ini?

Siapa yang diberikan kuasa untuk menangkap dan mendakwa pesalah pesalah baik jenayah sivil atau syariah didalam Mamluk al Malaisie ini?

Siapakah yang menjatuhkan hukum didalam Mahkamah Syariah?

Mereka yang kononnya penjaga kepentingan Ad Deenul Islam di muka bumi Malaysia ini.

Siapakah yang mengaku kuasa tertinggi soal hal ehwal Agama Islam di dalam negara yang melabelkan Negara Islam ini?

Tampar kepala dan peringatkan diri balik!

Usah mengambil kira bahawa negara negara Arab sedunia pun mengaku bahawa Malaysia ini Darul Islam!

Kebanyakan orang orang Arab itu sendiri ramai yang bersikap dan bersifat 'Raplah Jingga'!

Kerajaan kerajaan Negara Arab Timur Tengah itu sendiri banyak yang sama sekepala dengan pemerintah dan pihak berkuasa Malaysia.

Hukum hakam Allah diambil dan di olah mengikut selera dan kehendak serta keperluan masing masing.

Tidak ada yang seratus peratus mengikut garis panduan perintah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dan anjuran Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Natijahnya?

Kita kini hidup di Akhirul Zaman yang disabda Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Dimana Islam hanya tinggal nama dan para penguasa kita terdiri dari mereka yang khianat terhadap amanat Allah Azza Wa Jalla dan Rasulullah al Mustafa, Khataman Nabiyyi, Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Darul Maksiat wal Jinayyah!

Susah hati saya tuan tuan dan puan puan.

Tidak nampak mana mana pihak atau puak yang berkuasa didalam negara ini yang sanggup dan mahu berani tampil kemuka mendaulatkan Syariah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala seperti yang kita impi dan cita citakan?

Sudah semakin banyak kedengaran suara suara cabul dan kurang ajar mencemuh dan memperlekehkan Islam didalam negara ini.

Kebanyakan penguasa cuma sekadar menjadi setan bisu dan berkelakuan mata terjegil buka tetapi tak nampak apa apa. Telinga mencapang dengar tetapi tuli terhadap segala sumpah seranah, caci maki kaffir harbi laknatullah! Otak sadar tetapi koma terhadap apa yang perlu dilakukan seupaya kuasa dan kudrat yang ada?

Apakah lagi yang mereka sedang menanti?

Hendak tunggu Azab Allah turun dan menghancur binasakan negeri negeri dan negara ini?

Wallahu `alam?

Terpulang kepada mereka. Tanggung jawab memperingati `Ulul `Amri menerusi lisan dan tulisan sudah acapkali saya dan mereka yang sefikrah dengan saya laksanakan.

Tinggal menanti Malaikatul Maut sahaja membawa nyawa ini pergi kembali menghadap ke Hadhrat Ilahi.

Insya Allah.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Ta'ala Wabarakatuh.

Rising crime in Malaysia -Stricter law enforcement needed!



Dear brothers and sisters,

I am sure that you too are pretty sick and disgusted with the rising levels of crime in the nation especially when it concerns the unbridled crime spree of those who are called 'Mat Rempits'.

Frankly speaking, I feel that those criminals on two wheels are doing as they damn well please because there are so many of the freedom of this and freedom of that fighters trying to obstruct the Malaysian Police with accusations of police brutality, high handedness, etcetera!

Why the hell should these busybodies go and try to muzzle the police when it is the job of the police in the first place to whack these Mat Rempits and put them in their place?

When people go around trying to poke their noses into the police's business, they end up stifling the police from carrying out their duties which is to protect society from these murderous, rampaging bastards who rob, rape and even at times murder innocent civilians!!!

We have seen so many cases where the Mat Rempits have caused so much destruction and mayhem even to the very police themselves who are at times so hard pressed in trying to just do their duties as best as they can without the nitpickers sniffing down on their asses and baying for their blood!

Just look at how these menace endanger other road users and themselves when they try to escape police roadblocks?


Watch also how if there are no police around, anarchy sets in and criminals simply rampage and assault people as they damn well please?


When crooks run amok, people will simply rise up and take action on their own as shown here!


We need affirmative action from the Malaysian Police to eradicate the criminals now rampaging through the nation!

As my fellow blogger Achmed Rauff says, the Mat Rempit ought to be regarded as organised crime gangsters and treated as such!






















The above picture shows a murdered part time Petronas cashier. I ask you as to whether the murdering robbers ought to be spared the death sentence? A life has been taken here...think of his grieving widow and children?

Robbers are getting more cruel and sadistic by the day! They kill unarmed people after robbing them! The police are right in shooting criminals like these dead. Take no prisoners!

Once the criminals are shot dead one by one, automatically the crooks will repent overnight!

I recall such a similar step taken by Indonesian police before in eliminating the gangs of Jakarta a few years back!

Within days, the crime rate went down like magic! Criminals only understand severe measures to curb them.

Jailing them just wastes precious resources that could be used for better purposes. Prison only hardens these bastards to come out and do more harm to society!

I read that the Australian police are now going to implement such shoot to kill policies in an effort to curtail their spiralling crime rate!

Let's support the PDRM to do the same here and see what happens? Whether there will still be Mat Rempits running loose here in Bolehland?

Here's a video of how Brazilian police solve their crime rate?

Here's a re-enactment of a snatch theft case in neighbouring Island Republic of Singapore!


Even here in KL, snatch thieves are very active especially in Suria KLCC!

A snatch theft case took place recently there!

Despite having numerous cctv's and security guards, snatch thieves rob innocent shoppers at will and when one goes to seek help from the security, you will just be asked to fill in a form!

Forget about getting the KLCC security's help to watch a playback of their bloody cctv's!

Nothing of the sort!

Even the Jln Tun Razak police could do nothing to trace the suspects! To this day!

So, it's either being extra careful on our part or whack the living daylights out of the criminals as witnessed in the videos above!

People will say this and that, give all kinds of cock and bull excuses, plead for leniency etcetera but wait until the crime happens to them!

They will be singing a different tune by then!

For now, be alert and when push comes to shove, natural instincts will prevail.

Power and authority given to police are useless until they are enforced!

I call upon the PDRM to go kick ass or shoot the bastards dead for all I care!

We need to clean up the country...if we are to survive to the next day!

Can we afford to ignore this?

Muslims of today need to work on their Iman and Amals.





Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Dear brothers and sisters.

I do hope that you are in the best of health and Iman as per your positions as Muslims, those who have submitted to none but the only true God Almighty, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Rabbal Alamin.

The general situation affecting the lives of Muslims both here in Malaysia and elsewhere around the planet Earth is that we are deemed to be weak and disunited.

It's absolutely true for many amongst us are bloody egoistic and narcissistic! Why is this so?

Maybe it's because the general environment out there amongst the society nowadays is becoming more self centered?

No one really bothers to care and show mercy or compassion towards others in the truest sense of the word.

Usually the tendency will be to think of what rewards will await those who do react or respond sincerely at first but along the way develop such self appeasing characteristics due to the interference of certain quarters who over appreciate and over adulate the civic minded ones amongst us?

In a way, media exposure tends to turn good natured folks amongst us into glamor puss's.

Whatever genuine good nature that had sprouted in their hearts and minds soon gives way for false sense of pride to set in and eventually destroy those good souls bit by bit till they no longer care or feel any pity for the unfortunates amongst us.

My advice to them and my own self would be to constantly turn towards the Almighty in repentance and redeem ourselves in the Eyes of our Creator by seeking His Forgiveness for our excesses and slip up's.

Insya Allah.





















Bloggers can also do their good deed for society by publishing only content that encourages goodwill and refrain from engaging in hearsay and libel. The choice of words that we use in expressing ourselves if foul will one day return to haunt us.

As responsible citizens of this multi ethnic, multi faithed country, we do have a role to play in disseminating information amongst the cyber citizens of the Malaysian if not global blogosphere.

Lately, I sense a wave of racism spreading even amongst the so called Muslim bloggers and commentators.

One favorite target of these holier than thou bloggers and commentators is the beleaguered BN Perak MB Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir.

Just because he is dark skinned, he gets ridiculed by almost everyone and I am surprised to see such insults showered upon Datuk Zambry by bloggers whom I thought were more mature and balanced with a fair sense of Islamic background in their persons?

Looks like we still have Jahiliyyah's amongst us today who still think that Islam belongs to this and that race or ethnicity?

What a bummer! Some folks have yet to fully understand that Islam belongs to every son or daughter of the Prophet Adam Alaihis Salam and that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala doesn't differentiate between us by virtue of the color of our skin but based upon the levels of our Iman and Amals!!!

Sayyidina Bilal the Ethiopian slave was preferred by Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam to be the first Muezzin of Islam and in the Isra' and Mikraj miraculous Night journey of our blessed Prophet to the 7 heavens, Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam said that he heard the footsteps of Sayyidina Bilal precede him in Jannatul Firdaus!!!

What does that tell you O racists amongst us?

Sayyidina Bilal Radhiallahu Anhu, a black slave was acknowledged by Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam himself to be worthy of appreciation by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Himself that Allah Azza Wa Jalla recognized Sayyidina Bilal's steadfast Iman and his Amals which would put all ye racists to shame if ever be compared as to who is much more higher in status before Ar Rahman?

Do not backbite and speak ill of your fellow Muslim for it will be used to judge you later in the Yaum al Mahsyar!









11. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la yaskhar qawmun min qawmin AAasa an yakoonoo khayran minhum wala nisaon min nisa-in AAasa an yakunna khayran minhunna wala talmizoo anfusakum wala tanabazoo bial-alqabi bi/sa al-ismu alfusooqu baAAda al-eemani waman lam yatub faola-ika humu alththalimoona

11. O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.









12. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ijtaniboo katheeran mina alththanni inna baAAda alththanni ithmun wala tajassasoo wala yaghtab baAAdukum baAAdan ayuhibbu ahadukum an ya/kula lahma akheehi maytan fakarihtumoohu waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha tawwabun raheemun

12. O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear Allah. For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

Surah Al Hujurat Chapter 49 Verses 11 and 12, Al Qura'nul Karim.





1. Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

1. Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,





2. Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu

2. Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,





3. Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu

3. Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

Surah Al Humaza ( The Scandal Monger) Al Quran Chapter 104 Verses 1 to 3


















Dear brothers and sisters,

At the end of the day, who are we quarreling against?

Is the spoils of this world so much so that we can greedily dismiss off the rights of others?

Just how much can one stuff his or her stomach full of the delights and delicacies of this world?

Frankly speaking, just after the throat and into the gullet, once the juices and goodness is digested and absorbed it becomes nothing but foul stinking material ready to be processed into najis that will just be feces ready to be purged from one's bowels!

So is this earthly wealth, power and position that so many are clamoring and fighting over so bitterly that many waste not a second in castigating their fellow Muslims and other children of Adam as if that is the most important thing to their miserable temporary life's here?

I try my best to refrain from touching on political issues as best as I possibly can for I prefer to involve myself and blog about Islamic affairs.

Yet at times I am driven to raise my point of view and try bring about a return to fair practices of blogging amongst the blogging fraternity.

Muslims no matter who they are and whatever political affiliations they may have and hold personally have no cause to engage in mud slinging and resort to name calling against one another which is forbidden by the Blessed Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Seriously, I think it's preposterous for the ummah here in Malaysia and elsewhere to be so caught up in this political warfare that many resort to going overboard in quarreling over something that takes out so much of their peace of mind and turn them into inhuman creatures, devoid of care and compassion towards their fellow beings!

I'm not saying that politics is not important! I'm just wishing that those amongst us who are involved in it to be aware that each and everyone of us are living in a very limited time frame.

No one knows as to when one's time is up?

What are we going to show Allah as our deeds when our soul is taken away from our mortal body?

You know just what your book of records has in it?

Each and everyone of us are fully aware and conscious as to what we have done and whether we merit to receive Allah's Mercy or His Wrath?

Are we ready to meet our Maker with all these scandals and political circus brewing amongst us?

Our constant nitpicking and scandalizing each and everything that our brother or sister in Islam is doing?

The constant curses and insults flowing in blogosphere that would make even a sea hardened old sailor blush with shame upon listening to the insults and foul venom being plastered upon just every other person but the blogger him or herself?

This is not right dear Ikhwanul Muslimin na wal Muslimat!

Do not take chances with your future in the hereafter!

This earthly existence is so temporary. So fragile!

At any minute now, anyone of us can just drop dead. El finito!

Sayonara! Sariyya pocchi! Khalas! That's it!

Do you still dare to risk squandering your Iman and Amals on the quest to be this and that here when your eternal future is at risk in the Yaum al Qiyamat?

Think!

Warkah untuk PM 1 Malaysia Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak






Assalamualaikum Dato Seri,













Terlebih dahulu saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Bertugas kepada Dato Seri yang kami sedia maklum sedang berusaha sedaya upaya menyelesaikan seribu satu kemelut yang sedang melanda pentadbiran Dato Seri.

Biasalah. Dah namanya Jabatan Perdana Menteri. Sudah semestinya kalut dengan segala kerenah politik dan pentadbiran yang merangkumi seluruh Kerajaan Persekutuan dan juga kerenah Kerajaan Kerajaan Negeri yang dibawah kuasa dan pengawasan Dato Seri.

Dato Seri,

Saya selaku seorang warganegara yang prihatin tentang apa yang sedang melanda negara dan negeri ingin cuba memberikan Dato Seri maklumbalas tentang beberapa perkara yang pada hemat saya menjadi punca ketidakpuasan umum terhadap tindakan kerajaan dibawah perintah Dato Seri.

Yang paling utama menjadi masaalah yang membawa kepada penghakisan sokongan ummah terhadap UMNO dan Kerajaan BN adalah :

1. Kedudukan Agama Islam didalam pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan.

Terus terang saya katakan disini dari pihak saya sendiri, memang tidak menyokong usul kerajaan BN sebelum ini dibawah pentadbiran Tun Abdullah Hj Ahmad Badawi membawa konsep 'Islam Hadhari' seolah pemahaman umat Islam kita perlukan pembaharuan pandangan mahupun pembawaan secara kaedah baru tentang ajaran Islam yang maha sempurna dibawa oleh Nabi Muhammad ibni Abdullah, Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam, semulia mulia makhluk ciptaan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dan yang kita semua mengaku taat dan setia terhadap Baginda Rahmatulil Alamin selama hayat kita.

Bilamana timbul pembawaan Islam Hadhari, maka saya percaya kebanyakan umat Islam yang menyokong UMNO mula tawar hati dan menjauhkan diri dari pemerintah yang pada hemat kami cuba memandai mandai memperbaharui ajaran Islam yang telah sedia sempurna.

Saya tidak akan sokong sesiapapun yang cuba membawa apa apa saja cara atau kaedah baru bersifat bida'ah lawwamah didalam cara menerapkan Islam kerana bagi saya Islam sudah sedia sempurna dan yang perlu adalah supaya pemerintah atau sesiapa sahaja Muslim yang berkuasa keatas kami, rakyat Malaysia berterusan melaksanakan perintah Allah seadanya dan usah memandai mandai merubah konsep atau cara memerintah kami hamba Allah menurut fikrah terpesong manusia akhir zaman seperti yang cuba dilakukan pentadbiran yang lalu.

Kebencian terhadap usaha terpesong 'Islam Hadhari' dokongan Abdullah Badawi membuatkan saya memilih tidak bersekongkol dengan orang yang cuba membawa satu kaedah baru didalam hidup secara Muslim sejati dan membawa istilah baru yang belum pernah ada sekian lama ini didalam kehidupan umat Islam sejagat.

Bagi pendapat saya, ini punca utama kenapa umat Islam serta warganegara pribumi mula menjauhkan diri dari menyokong UMNO dan BN.

2. Kelemahan penguatkuasaan undang undang sedia ada terutama yang melibatkan perbuatan orang orang kaffir menghina Islam dan umatnya didalam negara.

Saya percaya Dato Seri sendiri sedia maklum akan berpuluh puluh kes penghinaan keatas Islam dan ajaran ajarannya telah dilakukan oleh mereka yang bukan Islam dan juga oleh mereka yang Islam hanya pada nama tetapi kekadang lebih celupar dan kurang ajar terhadap kita yang sujud kepada Allah Azza Wa Jalla serta amat menghormati serta memuliakan Nabi Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Kenapakah tidak ada tindakan keras diambil pihak berkuasa keatas mereka ini dan selalunya hanya sekadar berjanji akan menyiasat kes kes ini tetapi akhirnya didiamkan begitu sahaja baik oleh pihak perundangan mahupun Polis Di Raja Malaysia?

Tindakan Majlis Peguam Malaysia didalam beberapa kes melibatkan kesucian Islam dan kes kes murtad tidak dikendalikan oleh pihak kerajaan secara tegas dan adil terhadap maruah umat Islam sehingga memaksa NGO NGO Islam dan orang kebanyakan mengambil langkah drastik berdemonstrasi terhadap petualang petualang ini secara sendiri!

Kenapa sampai begitu lemah sekali reaksi atau lemahnya tindakan dari pihak berkuasa agama?

Terus terang saya menyatakan disini bahawa nasib UMNO dimasa hadapan tergantung kepada langkah Dato Seri selaku Perdana Menteri Kerajaan Persekutuan mengendalikan urusan agama negara ini.

Salah bawa keputusan yang akan menjejaskan kedudukan Agama Islam didalam Malaysia ini akan membawa kepada penguburan UMNO dikancah politik hasil dari penangan undi umat Islam Malaysia didalam Pilihanraya Umum ke 13 yang akan datang.

Abdullah Badawi dengan konsep Islam Hadharinya ternyata membuatkan ramai umat Islam Malaysia jauh hati dengan percubaan nya itu dan membuatkan mereka berubah hati kepada menyokong pakatan DAP-PKR dan PAS walaupun DAP itu secara nyata menyatakan bantahan mereka terhadap pelaksanaan Hudud Allah yang dicita citakan PAS yang dahulu.

PAS sekarang nampak macam memegang konsep 'Bisa di atur Pak! Pokoknya kuasa!' :(

Entahlah Dato Seri.

3. Kemelut Kerajaan Negeri Perak Darul Ridzuan.

Dato Tajol Rosli dan Datuk Zambry beriya iya bertanyakan PAS Perak dibawah perintah Dato Seri Nizar akan kenapa tidak dilaksanakan Hukum Hakam Islam selepas berjaya memerintah Negeri Perak tetapi diwaktu yang sama buat buat lupa bahawa sejak Merdeka lagi UMNO yang memegang kuasa di negeri yang kini dirundung malang itu?

Apakejadahnya yang UMNO buat sekian lama memerintah Negara Malaysia ini?

Ini bukan soal siapa yang perintah? Dua dua mengaku pemerintah Islam tetapi masing masing hanya cakap berdegar degar sahaja ~ pelaksanaan Hukum Allah secara hakiki tiada!!!

Dua kali lima sama sahaja! Retorik kosong semata mata!

Susah benarkah hendak menguatkuasakan Hukum Allah sepertimana ada didalam Al Quran dan Hadith Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam?

Negara kita ini setiap tahun beriya mengadakan Musabaqah Al Quran dan sebagainya dan mendakwa memiliki beratus ratus malah ribuan alim ulamak yang sarat mengendong sijil sijil tauliah ilmu agama Islam tetapi tak ada bezanya dengan manusia kaffir yang gah dengan segala kedoktoran falsafahnya dengan segala tok nenek ilmu tetapi masih buntu hendak membawa kepada penguatkuasaan pelaksanaan Hukum Hakam Al Islam dibumi bertuah ini.

Apakah gunanya Dato Seri segala drama swasta dan rasmi ini?

Akan mati terkilan lah kami warganegara Malaysia beragama Islam menantikan Daulah al Islamiyyah dibumi Mamluk al Malaisie ini ya?

Memang begitulah nampak gaya negara yang kononnya berkerajaan Islam ini, bukan?

Gajah sama gajah berjuang, kami ni yang serupa pelanduk mati kering ditengah tengah!

Segala tanda tanda Kiamat sudah jelas kelihatan sepertimana di ingatkan Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam didalam Hadith hadith Sahih Baginda tetapi pemerintah dan pemimpin pemimpin kerajaan BN dan PAS masih beradu domba macam tak sudah!

Dua dua pihak degil dan bersifat egois macam tak nampak nampak kesan dan natijahnya pada kami umat Islam sesama agama dengan Dato Seri dan pihak disana!

Nak tunggu kita 'menang sorak ; kampong tergadai' ke Dato Seri?

Memang dah nampak dah benda ni berlaku dibeberapa negeri. Nampak gaya akan semakin melarat didalam waktu terdekat ini.

Apa Dato Seri mahu melihat perkara ini berterusan? Sanggup ke nanti melihat segalanya hancur musnah dan nasib umat Islam disini menjadi serupa di Bosnia dan Herzegovina atau negara negara lain dimana penduduk asalnya hilang segala hak dan keupayaan?

Bawa bawa bermuhasabah sekejap Dato Seri!

Jika diturutkan nafsu, lesu jadinya. Ini bukan soal remeh. Ini soal masadepan ummah!

Saya utamakan bab bab melibatkan Islam didalam tulisan saya didalam warkah terbuka kepada Dato Seri kali ini.

Namun secara peribadi saya memang tidak selesa melihat kacau bilau yang sedang melanda Negeri Perak Darul Ridzuan yang kini beralih kembali kepada perintah BN secara teknik.

Cara berkuasa diatas penyelewengan ADUN ADUN yang terlibat itu bukanlah sesuatu yang boleh dibanggakan bagi seorang pemerintah Islam yang sebenar.

ADUN ADUN yang mengkhianati pengundi pengundi mereka ternyata tidak layak terus berada didalam kedudukan mereka.

Begitu juga ADUN ADUN pakatan DAP dan PKR yang berlaku biadap tempohari didalam sesi persidangan DUN Perak yang baru berlalu.

ADUN PAS mujur tidak keloloh seperti kebanyakan yang lain semasa huru hara persidangan yang berlangsung tempohari.

Jika sekiranya akan diadakan pilihanraya semula, saya pohon Dato Seri meminta mereka yang terbukti bersalah laku dihalang bertanding semula dan dipilih calon calon lain dari parti parti yang bertanding supaya layak digelar Yang Berhormat.

Yang saya nampak tempohari hanya lah Yang Biadap semata mata.

Saya tidak mahu menulis terlalu panjang didalam warkah spontan ini kepada Dato Seri.

Seandainya Dato Seri ingin melihat umat Islam didalam Malaysia ini menyokong Kerajaan 1Malaysia Dato Seri maka usahakanlah berbincang dengan Ulama PAS untuk menegakkan Hukum Allah didalam negara ini atau bersedialah melihat PRU ke 13 menjadi paksi perubahan kuasa politik negara.

Semoga ada usaha yang baik dari pihak Dato Seri memelihara kedudukan Islam di Malaysia.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

~~{@}~~

Dari Daik pulang ke Daik
Sehari-hari berkebun pisang
Budi baik dibalas baik
Dalam hati dikenang orang

Tanam lenggun tumbuh kelapa
Terbit bunga pucuk mati
Budi tuan saya tak lupa
Sudah terpaku di dalam hati

Tenang-tenang air laut
Sampan kolek mudik ke tanjung
Hati terkenang mulut menyebut
Budi baik rasa nak junjung

Banyak ubi perkara ubi
Ubi keledek ditanam orang
Banyak budi perkara budi
Budi baik dikenang orang

Lipat kain lipat baju
Lipat kertas dalam puan
Dari air menjadi batu
Sedikit tak lupa budi tuan

Jentayu burung jentayu
Hinggap di balik pokok mayang
Bunga kembang akan layu
Budi baik manakan hilang

Jika belayar ke tanah Aceh
Singgah dulu di kota Deli
Jika hendak orang mengasih
Hendaklah baik bicara budi

Dewa sakti melayang ke Daik
Hendak mencari Dewa Jaruga
Kalau ada budi yang baik
Sampai ke mati orang tak lupa

Baik-baik bertanam padi
Jangan sampai dimakan rusa
Baik-baik termakan budi
Jangan sampai badan binasa

Tingkap papan kayu bersegi
Sampan sakat di Pulau Angsa
Indah tampan kerana budi
Tinggi darjat kerana bahasa

Pulau Pandan jauh ke tengah
Gunung Daik bercabang tiga
Hancur badan dikandung tanah
Budi yang baik di kenang juga

Pergi ke sawah menanam padi
Singgah disungai menangkap ikan
Hidup hendaklah bersendikan budi
Sifat sombong jangan amalkan

Pisang emas dibawa belayar
Masak sebiji di atas peti
Hutang emas boleh dibayar
Hutang budi dibayar mati

Anak merak Kampung Cina
Singgah berhenti kepala titi
Emas perak kebesaran dunia
Budi bahasa tak dapat dicari

Yang kurik tu kundi
Yang merah saga
Yang baik itu budi
Yang indah itu bahasa

Limau manis dimakan manis
Manis sekali rasa isinya
Dilihat manis dipandang manis
Manis sekali hati budinya

Cuaca gelap semakin redup
Masakan boleh kembali terang
Budi bahasa amalan hidup
Barulah kekal dihormati orang

Terimakasih Cikgu!!!

The Contented Soul by Zainol Abideen





Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Dear brothers and sisters,

The subject of my writing today is about the contented soul. Many of us live our lives today facing the endless challenges that comes to us testing our patience and at times drive us to the points of exasperation.

It differs from one person to the other. The levels of tolerance and patience that one bears in dealing with the various situations that can either make or break our will and resolve to prevail against all odds.

What's our ultimate mission in our life's?

To reach a state of contentment within ourselves and to have all that we need @ to live without want!

The satisfied or contented soul.

In the Surah Al Fajr Chapter 89 Verses 27 to 30, of the Holy Al Qur'anul Karim, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says to us :





27. Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutma-innatu

27. (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!





28. IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

28. "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him!






29. Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

29. "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!






30. Waodkhulee jannatee

30. "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!

SadaqAllah hal adzhim.

Dear Ikhwanul Muslimin na wal Muslimat.

It is only natural that we as mankind who submit to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Rabbul Alamin have a tendency to hope for the best out of our temporal life here on Earth and to wish for a better situation in the Yaum al Akhirat @ Hereafter.

Only a sick depraved confused and disillusioned mind will want to suffer either here or when he or she has kicked the bucket so to speak.

Hope is the only thing we have and are enjoined to always have good faith in Allah, Malikul Mulk, Dzul Jalali Wal Ikram.

After all, what's the point of going through life steeped in misery and ill will, sickening one's soul to a stage of despair and forlorn, suffering in silence, demented in one's state of existence, brought about by a self induced mental delirium sparked off by losing all hope of a better tomorrow?

Those who have given up on life usually drown their sorrows in alcohol or drugs and debauchery in the fervent hope that their demented souls will taste a sense of satisfaction or temporal relief from the endless woes that they find themselves to be stricken or plagued with?

Thus is the state of those who have lost contact or touch with their fitrah @ natural sense of being. The realization that each and every soul is created pure and free from sin or malice by Allah, God Almighty Who loves and Cherishes those amongst mankind who seek His Mercy and Salvation.

No matter what excuse one comes up with and lays the blame on all others except his or her own self, the reality that mankind's troubles start when he or she strays away from the True Path that Allah the Almighty Chose to reveal to those who have it in them to ponder and reflect as to what is Haqq (Right) and what is Batil (Wrong)?

We can never escape responsibility over our selfs for we have been given the Faculty of Reasoning and Thought by our Creator!

It is we ourselves who decide as to what we are going to be?

This is no 'Que Sera Sera ~ Whatever will be ..will be' ..thingy!

No sirree!

We decide as to whether we choose to be a Servant of Allah or otherwise.

We choose to live as we please and we decide our fate. Allah has already given us all that we need and leaves it to us to decide as to where we want to end up?

The state of mind that we bring ourselves to or allow others to manipulate and mould our minds.

It is we, the Children of Adam Alaihis Salam who call the shots within the circumstances that we find ourselves in or are caught up in a situation not of our own choice but purely coincidental?

Yet we can't just throw in the towel and give up at the slightest stalemate that we find ourselves in or come to a dead end in our journey through our short temporal life's?

In order to be able to survive the tempests and storms of our life, we ought to seek that state of mind in which our weary souls get to rest in total submission and servitude to our Lord.

As Muslims, we get to be in that state of contentment, 5 times a day when we ruqu' and sujud towards our Lord in our daily solats.

We never know as to when our time is up?

There's no hourglass that we get to see and measure the remaining moments and seconds of our precious life here on Earth.

The best that we can do is to keep ourselves purified every now and then by surrendering our souls to Ar Rahman Ar Raheem and hope that He will Forgive us.

We can't bribe God. No way.

He Sees through us. Knows what we will be doing next and yet has it in Him to allow us to do as we please.

This is the reality of our life.

We can't pass the buck to someone else. Expect others to take the fall and suffer for all of our own self brought screw ups.

This is the reality of Islam.

Islam does not allow us to sacrifice someone else to pay for our sins.

We do it; we suffer the consequences.

No expecting some other person to be crucified for our own mistakes.

Islam teaches us that if we did screw up, Allah gives us a chance to repent and ask for His Forgiveness and also from those whom we have wronged.

It depends on each individual to learn and realize what it is that Islam allows and what it forbids?

To do something that is forbidden and then expect oneself to get away with it is utter stupidity for even the slightest act or thought of ours is recorded and preserved for posterity to be held against us when we stand before Allahu Ta'ala on the Day of Judgement in the Open Supreme above all Supreme Courts on the Yaum al Mahsyar.

No defence lawyers except our Good Deeds ; no Prosecutors except our Sins which will come back to haunt us unless He, the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful chooses to pardon us as He very well pleases?

So dear brothers and sisters, strive!

Strive as best as we can to rectify our mistakes. Ask for forgiveness from those whom we have wronged. Return to them what is rightfully theirs and ensure that we do not keep anything that is not rightfully ours in the truest of sense attained through our own hard labor and enterprise.

Surrender our tumultuous souls to our Maker and beseech Him to Forgive us.

Cleanse our souls from our egos and purify our selfs by endless Dhikr towards glorifying Him and praise our beloved Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam by sending upon him our Salawats.

It costs nothing but brings everything that our souls will need when we reach the Day of Judgement when we will need all the help that we can get from Allah Azza Wa Jalla and His Beloved Messenger Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Seek the truth of Al Islam and make it a point to learn something new practically each and every day that we still are blessed to be able to live and survive the various tests and challenges that besets upon us in these End Times.

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala forgive us and give us that state of being that is called 'the contented soul'. Insya Allah.

Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin.

I seek the forgiveness of all those whom I might have wronged knowingly and otherwise. May Allah unite us all in the Shelter and Sanctuary of His Mercy.

Amin Ya Rahman. Amin Ya Rahim.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

May Allah Azza Wa Jalla protect our blessed masjids of the Islamic world! Ameen!

The Balok Kids - Enjoying life as it unfolds by the day.


















Life ladies and gentlemen is what we make of it?

The simple pleasures of life sometimes does not require us to spend that much to enjoy it.

Nevertheless the irresponsible actions of a few can at times destroy these simple pleasures that most of us take for granted and do not pay heed to the flora and fauna that exist within our realm of temporal existence here on Earth.

What may seem irrelevant to those who are fated to live in opulence and free from want is on the other hand a matter of life or death to those who are affected by the consequences of disturbing the fragile balance of nature that Almighty Allah the Creator has seen fit to Will into being?

I invite you to take a look into the fragile ecosystem that we still are fortunate to be able to perceive and enjoy for now within our midst.

I give to you 'The Balok Kids' ~ Enjoying life as it unfolds by the day.

Talqin - Soalan bocor serta soalan yang tidak akan ditanya Malaikat Mungkar dan Naqir.






Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Maha Suci Tuhan yang Engkau bersifat dengan Baqa' dan Qidam, Tuhan yang berkuasa mematikan sekalian yang bernyawa, Maha Suci Tuhan yang menjadikan mati dan hidup untuk menguji siapa yang baik dan siapa yang kecewa.

Maha Suci Tuhan yang menjadikan lubang kubur sebesar-besar pengajaran untuk menjadi iktibar kepada orang yang lalai, dan sebesar-besar amaran kepada orang yang masih hidup.

Cuba tonton video ini tentang satu kejadian melibatkan janazah seorang remaja yang digali semula hanya selepas beberapa jam dikebumikan dan saksikan kesan 'azab kubur' pada jasadnya?



Ingatlah! Bahawa sekalian makhluk Allah akan jahanam dan binasa, melainkan zat Allah Taala. Ialah Tuhan yang Maha Besar kuasa menghukum, manakala kita sekalian akan kembali menghadap hadirat Allah Taala.

Ini adalah bacaan talqin bilamana kita sudah dikuburkan nanti, Insya Allah.

Wahai (simati) bin (nama ibu), wahai (simati) bin (nama ibu),wahai (simati) bin (nama ibu), hendaklah kamu ingat akan janji-janji Allah yang mana kamu ada bawa bersama-sama dari dunia ini.

Sekarang kamu telah menuju masuk ke negeri Akhirat.

Kamu telah mengaku bahawa tiada Tuhan yang disembah dengan sebenar-benarnya melainkan Allah, dan bahawa senya Nabi Muhammad itu Pesuruh Allah.

Ingatlah wahai (simati) bin (nama ibu), apabila datang kepada kamu 2 orang malaikat yang serupa dengan kamu iaitu Mungkar dan Nakir, maka janganlah berasa gentar dan takut, janganlah kamu berdukacita dan risau serta janganlah kamu susah-hati dan terkejut.

Ketahuilah wahai (simati) bin (nama ibu), bahawasanya Mungkar dan Nakir itu hamba Allah Taala, sebagaimana kamu juga hamba Allah Taala.

Apabila mereka menyuruh kamu duduk, mereka juga akan menyoal kamu.

Mereka akan bertanya (soalan bocor) :
  1. Siapakah Tuhan kamu?
  2. Siapakah Nabi kamu?
  3. Apakah agama kamu?
  4. Apakah kiblat kamu?
  5. Siapakah saudara kamu?
  6. Apakah pegangan iktikad kamu?
  7. Dan apakah kalimah yang kamu bawa bersama-sama kamu?
Di masa itu hendaklah kamu menjawab soalan-soalan mereka dengan cermat dan sehabis-habis terang, tepat dan betul.

Janganlah berasa gementar, janganlah cuak dan janganlah bergopoh-gapah, biarlah tenang dan berhati-hati.

Hendaklah kamu jawab begini:
  1. Allah Taala Tuhanku,
  2. Muhammad Nabiku,
  3. Islam Agamaku,
  4. Kitab suci Al-Quran ikutanku,
  5. Baitullah itu qiblatku, malahan solah lima waktu, puasa di bulan Ramadhan,mengeluarkan zakat dan mengerjakan haji diwajibkan ke atas aku.
  6. Semua orang Islam dan orang yang beriman adalah saudara aku,
  7. bahkan dari masa hidup hingga aku mati aku mengucap: "La ila ha illallah Muhammaddur Rasulullah".

Wahai (simati) bin (nama ibu) tetapkanlah hatimu, inilah dia suatu dugaan yang paling besar.

Ingatlah bahawa kamu sekarang sedang tinggal didalam alam Barzakh, sehingga sampai satu masa kelak, kamu akan dibangunkan semua untuk berkumpul di Padang Mahsyar.

Insaflah wahai (simati) bin (nama ibu), bahawasanya:
  • mati ini adalah benar,
  • soalan malaikat Mungkar dan Nakir di dalam kubur ini adalah benar,
  • bangun dari kubur kemudian kita dihidupkan semula adalah benar,
  • berkumpul dan berhimpun di Padang Mahsyar adalah benar,
  • dihisab dan dikira segala amalan kamu adalah benar,
  • minum di kolam air nabi adalah benar,
  • ada syurga dan neraka adalah benar.
Bahawasanya hari Kiamat tetap akan adanya ; begitu juga Tuhan yang Maha Berkuasa akan membangkitkan semula orang-orang yang di dalam kubur.

Di akhirnya kami ucapkan selamat berpisah dan selamat tinggal kamu disisi Allah Taala.

Semoga Tuhan akan memberi sejahtera kepada kamu. Tuhan jua yang menetapkan hati kamu. Kami sekalian berdoa mudah mudahan Allah Taala menjinakkan hati kamu yang liar, dan Allah menaruh belas kasihan kepada kamu yang berdagang seorang diri di dalam kubur ini.Mudah-mudahan Tuhan akan memberi keampunan dan memaafkan kesalahan kamu serta menerima segala amal kebajikan kamu.

Ya Allah Ya Tuhan, kami merayu dan bermohon kepada Mu supaya tidak disiksa mayat ini dengan kemegahan penghulu kami Muhammad SAW.

Subhana rabbika rabbil izati amma ya sifun wassallamu alalmursalinwalham dulillahi rabbil alamin.

Setiap yang bernafas, pasti akan mati :








185.Qullu nafsin itzha-iqatu almawti wa-innama tuwaffawna ojoorakum yawma alqiyamati faman zuhziha AAani alnnari waodkhila aljannata faqad faza wama alhayatu alddunya illa mataAAu alghuroori

185. Tiap-tiap yang bernyawa akan merasai mati, dan bahawasanya pada hari kiamat sahajalah akan disempurnakan balasan kamu. Ketika itu sesiapa yang dijauhkan dari neraka dan dimasukkan ke syurga maka sesungguhnya ia telah berjaya. Dan (ingatlah bahawa) kehidupan di dunia ini (meliputi segala kemewahannya dan pangkat kebesarannya) tidak lain hanyalah kesenangan bagi orang-orang yang terpedaya.

185. Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/quran/00319.htm

Malaikat Mungkar dan Naqir tidak akan bertanya :
  1. Kamu ini Melayu ke Mamak?
  2. Kamu ini China ke India?
  3. Kamu ini Tuanku ke Tengku?
  4. Megat ke Raden?
  5. Tun ke Tan Sri?
  6. Dato Paduka ke Dato Seri?
  7. Kamu ni UMNO ke PAS?
  8. Kamu ni PKR ke AKIM?
  9. Kamu ni oghe Kelate ke orang Perak?
  10. Kamu ni naik Mercedes ke Camry?
  11. Kamu ni orang Barisan ke Pakatan?
  12. Kamu ni itu ke ini?
Tidak sama sekali tuan tuan dan puan puan.
Kita tidak akan disoal tentang siapakah kita?

Yang sudah pasti adalah kita kan disoal tentang apa yang ditulis di atas dan saya terbitkan semula disini:
  1. Siapakah Tuhan kamu?
  2. Siapakah Nabi kamu?
  3. Apakah agama kamu?
  4. Apakah kiblat kamu?
  5. Siapakah saudara kamu?
  6. Apakah pegangan iktikad kamu?
  7. Dan apakah kalimah yang kamu bawa bersama-sama kamu?
Saya mengesyorkan supaya kita sediakan jawapannya dan disematkan didalam hati seraya selalu mengulangkaji jawapan bocor kepada soalan soalan pasti ini.

Insya Allah.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Ta'ala Wabarakatuh.

Lawati juga:

13hb Mei 1969 - 40 tahun kemudian masih tidak aman!

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Tuan tuan dan puan puan.

Pada hari ini 40 tahun yang lalu berlaku kemuncak pergeseran di antara orang orang Melayu dengan puak yang berfahaman kiri dikalangan kaum Cina akibat percaturan mereka yang beragenda ingin menidakkan kedudukan orang orang Melayu sebagai pribumi tanah bekas Tanah Melayu ini.

Setiap ulangtahun Peristiwa 13 Mei ini akan kita mengenang kembali betapa rapuhnya perhubungan diantara kaum di Malaysia ini.

Selagi rakyat pelbagai kaum negara ini tidak menerima hakikat bahawa negara ini asalnya bergelar Persekutuan Negeri Negeri Tanah Melayu dengan bersultankan Raja Raja Melayu, selagi itulah kudis perkauman ini akan terus membusuk memakan tulang temulang setiap individu yang tidak sedar dirinya di untung, hidup didalam negara yang sebenarnya cukup ruang dan peluang untuk setiap warganegara hidup dengan aman damai dan selamat di samping kaum kaum yang lain.

Kenapakah perlu kita berebut rebut mengejar kuasa dan kedudukan yang teramat sementara ini?

Adakah kita disekat dari makan minum sesuka kita?

Adakah kita dihalang dari keluar mencari rezeki untuk menampung keperluan sendiri dan keluarga kita?

Saya hairan melihat sebegitu ramai sekali manusia yang hidup didalam negara ini seolah buta akan hakikat bahawa peluang untuk hidup secara aman dan bebas mencari rezeki masing masing tidak dihiraukan sebaliknya amat mudah termakan hasutan dan dakyah para pemimpin politik junjungan masing masing yang ternyata ada agenda tersendiri disebalik setiap tuntutan dan perjuangan mengisi tembolok mereka sendiri!

Sekarang ini sedang bergejolak sebuah negeri yang dahulunya aman makmur sebagai negeri yang amat kaya dengan hasil bijih timahnya iaitu Negeri Perak Darul Ridzuan sekarang dah berubah menjadi negeri yang tidak keharuan.

Semuanya berdasarkan politik yang penuh dengan petualangan. Usah bercakap tentang hak demokrasi jika ianya hanya sandiwara ahli ahli politik yang amat mudah melompat parti dan mencetuskan suasana teramat kotor didalam sejarah politik negara ini.

Budaya melompat parti ini hasil cetusan ilham siapa?

Siapakah dia yang mencetuskan ilham menukar kerajaan pada 16hb September 2008 yang lalu dengan mengisytiharkan akan berlaku perubahan didalam Kerajaan Persekutuan dengan penghijrahan beramai ramai Ahli Parlimen dari Barisan Nasional kepada Pakatan DAP-PKR dan PAS?

Manusia inilah yang menjadi pencetus kepada ketidakstablian negara ini dewasa ini.

Polemik melompat parti berdasarkan tamak haloba dan perebutan kuasa dan kedudukan kini menjadi asas perjuangan mereka yang kononnya mahu memperjuangkan demokrasi.

Hari ini masyarakat kita menjadi bahan taruhan ahli ahli politik ini kerana merebutkan kuasa kerajaan negeri.

Yang menjadi mangsanya siapa?

Bukankah rakyat yang tidak untung apa apa dari pertelingkahan ini?

Siapa yang gah kesana kemari dengan kereta kereta mewah bergelar itu dan ini?

Hidup mentekedarah hasil cukai yang dibayar setiap rakyat tanpa mengambil kira akan perbezaan kaum, agama dan kedudukan?

Gajah sama gajah berjuang, pelanduk mati ditengah.

Pelanduk itu tidak lain tidak bukan adalah rakyat marhaen.

Kelemahan sistem pentadbiran kerajaan negeri berpunca dari kealpaan para Sultan dan Raja Melayu yang gagal mempertahankan kedudukan masing masing dari dilemahkan oleh Eksekutif.

Punca kejatuhan dan penghakisan kuasa Sultan dan Raja Melayu bertitik tolak dari zaman dahulu lagi bila Sultan dan Raja Melayu sanggup menyerahkan kuasa kepada Residen British semasa dijajah mereka.

Amat kurang semangat kepahlawanan Melayu dikalangan Sultan dan Raja Melayu sekarang ini. Jika tidak kerana usaha Datuk Onn bin Jaafar yang berjuang untuk membantah cadangan Malayan Union yang dicadangkan British, sudah terkubur lah institusi Kesultanan Melayu.

UMNO hari ini adalah berada di kedudukan yang paling genting didalam sejarah perjuangan Melayu sepanjang zaman.

Melayu hari ini sudah berubah kiblat politik mereka dari menyokong UMNO kepada menyokong paksi Pakatan DAP-PKR dan PAS. Hampir 50-50 sokongan Melayu kepada UMNO dan PKR-PAS.

DAP adalah tukang adu domba yang berjaya hari ini memecah belahkan perpaduan orang orang Melayu kepada menyokong perjuangan Malaysian Malaysia mereka.

PAS dan PKR menjadi agen kepada DAP hari ini dengan PAS sanggup menggadaikan matlamat penubuhan Negara Islam yang sekian lama ini menjadi asas perjuangan Parti seIslam Malaysia.

PKR lahir hanya untuk memPerdana Menterikan saudara Anwar bin Ibrahim.

Nasib orang orang Melayu hari ini umpama 'Menang Sorak ; Kampong Tergadai!'

Sudah banyak kes dimana Tanah Rizab Melayu diubah status nya dan menjadi tanah lelongan angkara kedurjanaan mereka yang dipertanggungjawab menjaga dan memelihara hak dan nasib orang orang Melayu.

Akan hilang sedikit demi sedikit hakmilik orang orang Melayu bilamana perjuangan mereka diracuni perasaan tamak dan haloba terhadap kesenangan duniawi dan bermewah2an yang teramat sementara ini.

Bilamana Sultan dan Raja Melayu diam membisu terhadap segala angkara maksiat dan dosa yang sedang bersemarak didalam negara ini kerana takut atau kurang ilmu, maka natijahnya muncul hari ini bila rakyat sudah mula berani memperkotak katikkan kedudukan mereka dan mencabar Sultan di mahkamah.

Kenapa sampai terjadi begini?

Sudah tentu kerana Baginda Tuanku sekelian tidak mendaulatkan Al Quran dan Sunnah Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam didalam kehidupan seharian mereka.

Al Quran cuma menjadi bahan hiasan dan junjungan yang tidak diambil sebagai teras pentadbiran dan pemerintahan negeri masing masing.

Islam sudah menjadi bahan penggunaan ahli ahli politik sebagai modal bahan kempen dan ceramah politik baik oleh mereka yang mengaku beragama Islam mahupun yang tidak seperti pemimpin DAP yang menggunapakai petikan maksud ayat ayat Al Quran untuk memancing sokongan dan undian Melayu yang berlabel Islam tetapi keliru tahap gaban akan kedudukan perkara sebenarnya perancangan politik musuh musuh Islam yang amat licik permainan agenda tersembunyi mereka.

Sudah jadi macam kes Pak Pandir Moden.

Beriya bersorak bilamana ayam tambatannya menang sabung tetapi lupa bahawa ayam sabung nya itu (hakmilik tanahair ini) kini sudah di tangan Sultan ( Pakatan DAP-PKR-PAS)!

Belum pernah sejarah hakmilik 999 tahun diberikan sewenang wenangnya oleh mana mana kerajaan negeri sebelum ini tetapi telah terlaksana di Negeri Perak Darul Raplah oleh mereka yang berkuasa sebelum ini.

13hb Mei - tarikh penuh tragedi didalam lipatan sejarah negara ini.

Masih belum aman nampaknya bumi bertuah ini dek kerana permainan politik oleh mereka yang sanggup menggolok gadaikan negara ini semata mata ingin berkuasa dan bebas mengisi tembolok masing masing semampat yang boleh.

Saya cuma takut tembolok yang disumbat penuh merening itu akan meletup pecah memburai memuntahkan isi yang penuh hanyir dan busuk dek kerana tidak bersihnya cara pendapatan masing masing angkara rasuah dan salah dari segi agama mahupun undang undang!

Tidak ada sebarang perubahan pada nasib warganegara Malaysia hari ini.

Kecurigaan dan syak wasangka diantara kaum masih menebal hari ini sama sahaja seperti 40 tahun yang sudah!

Cuma kita belum sampai ketahap membawa parang keluar mencari mangsa sahaja.

Tetapi dilaman laman blog, perang perkauman masih semarak menyala nyala dan kemungkinan akan terus menyala sampai kiamat.

Media massa rasmi mungkin akan mengeluarkan propaganda perpaduan kaum dan sebagainya tetapi ia hanya sekadar retorik penyedap rasa sahaja.

Hakikatnya 13 Mei masih terus berdarah dihati masing masing. Terima lah realiti ini.

Selagi insan tidak sedar akan diri di untung dan tidak mengambil sikap ' Dimana bumi dipijak ; di situ langit dijunjung!'.. selagi itulah suasana ketidakstabilan akan terus berlaku ditanahair tercinta ini.

Masaalahnya payung payung negara sudah mulai tiris akibat lupa kepada suruhan dan perintah Allah, Rabbul Alamin.

Hai..................:(

Pengopek Kelapa Penor - Kenali Pak Jamal Umar



Assalamualaikum semua.

Saya ketemu Pak Jamal Umar, seorang pengopek kelapa di Kampong Penor semasa saya bersama isteri menjelajah kawasan perkampongan Melayu didalam perjalanan kami menuju ke Bandar Di Raja Pekan di Pahang Darul Makmur baru baru ini.

Lelaki tua berusia lewat 70an ini masih gagah mengopek beratus ratus biji buah kelapa mencari rezeki bagi menampung kehidupan nya di usia senja ini. Pak Jamal yang sudah kematian isteri mengaku masih sihat dan tidak menghidapi sebarang penyakit kronik.

Saya merakam video ini sebagai mengabadikan perjuangan hidup seorang insan warga emas di bumi Pahang yang tidak bergantung harap kepada sesiapa untuk meneruskan saki baki usianya didalam dunia yang fana ini.

Semoga menjadi iktibar kepada kita semua. Insya Allah.

Babi hutan mangsa langgar lari! Korban jalanraya Pahang.



Assalamualaikum semua.

Peristiwa korban jalanraya di Kg.Penor, Pahang diatas sempat saya rakam semasa didalam perjalanan ke Pekan, Bandar Di Raja Pahang Darul Makmur.

Baru pertama ini saya berkesempatan melihat rupa babi hutan secara dekat. Itupun setelah ianya sudah mati terbungkang ditepi jalanraya di kampung tersebut.

Jelas kesan pelanggaran dibahagian perut haiwan liar ini dan kelihatan darah berbuih keluar dari muncung binatang malang ini.

Dah sampai ajalnya. Namun saya fikir tentang nasib anak anak babi hutan itu yang sudah tentu kebingungan menanti kepulangan ibu mereka yang tak kunjung tiba?

Sepanjang perjalanan saya memandu dijalan kampong tersebut, saya kehairanan melihat sikap tidak bertanggungjawab pengguna jalanraya dikawasan perkampongan itu yang memandu laju tanpa menghiraukan kemungkinan kanak kanak atau sesiapa sahaja yang melintas secara tiba tiba?

Mungkin sebab yang mati kena langgar lari ini se ekor haiwan liar yang tidak bertuan melainkan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala maka tidak ada sebarang waris datang menuntut bela tetapi inilah hakikat alam dimana manusia yang rakus, semberono memandu tanpa peduli akan alam sekitar dan haiwan serta margastua yang hidup bersama sama kita di alam ciptaan Allah ini!

Saya berharap supaya pemandu pemandu kenderaan di dalam negara ini akan berubah sikap dan lebih berhati hati di jalanraya.

Walaupun yang mati ini seekor haiwan, ada yang bergantung harap terhadapnya untuk mencari makan meneruskan penghidupan mereka di alam fana ini. Kasihan anak anak babi hutan tersebut. :(

Mudah2an kita semua boleh memandu dengan kadar kelajuan yang munasabah semasa melalui kawasan kawasan berdekatan hutan dan rimba didalam negara kita.

Peliharalah nyawa manusia dan makhluk lain yang tidak berdosa dengan tidak merempit macam setan dimana mana sahaja.

Pasar Hasil Laut Segar Nelayan Tanjung Api, Kuantan

Assalamualaikum semua.

Bersambung balik cerita pengembaraan saya bersama isteri ke Pantai Timur baru baru ini.

Selepas makan tengahari di gerai Bakar Nasi Campor, Tanjung Api, Kuantan, Pahang maka saya pergilah meninjau harga ikan segar yang baru ditangkap nelayan dan dijual disana.







































Ikutilah penggambaran saya disana melalui video dibawah ini.

Secara amnya penduduk di Pantai Timur mudah mesra dengan kita dan tidak sombong. Yang pentingnya kita ini, sebagai pelancung haruslah pandai pandai membawa diri.

Usah berlagak ego semberono bila ditempat orang. Bak kata pepatah lama, ' Masuk kandang kambing mengembek ; masuk kandang kerbau menguak!'
















Nelayan muda bersantai memetik gitar sementara menunggu bertugas semula keluar ke laut mencari rezeki disamudera Lautan Cina Selatan.

Tanjong Api, Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur

Assalamualaikum semua.

Seperti dijanjikan, ini dia rakaman gambarfoto yang sempat saya ambil selama berada diKuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur sejak berada disini dari hari Khamis yang sudah.

Pada pagi Jumaat, kami singgah makan tengahari di kawasan Jeti Nelayan dan Pasar Hasil Laut Segar di Tanjong Api, Kuantan.
















Makanan disini memang sedap dan lauk pauk yang disediakan segar dan dijual dengan harga berpatutan.






















































Poster pertandingan Tinju Tomoi yang terpampang di dinding gerai Bakar Nasi Campor, Tanjong Api.

Disebelah pantai timur ni memang popular perlawanan tinju tomoi dikalangan para pemuda Melayu. Masih ada lagi peluang untuk anda menonton pertandingan tinju tomoi pada malam ini dan esok.

Berhadapan Pondok Polis Balok dan bermula jam 9.00 malam. Tiket masuk RM10 bagi dewasa dan RM5 bagi kanak kanak.
















Seorang kanak kanak lelaki comel yang malu malu bila lensa kamera saya dihalakan kepadanya. Hehehehehe...sebelum itu ada saja benda yang dia terbalikkan kerana leka bermain dengan bekas abu rokok dan sebagainya.

Terus diam bila diambil gambar! Hahahahaha...

Banyak lagi gambar gambar dan video yang perlu diproses dan dimuatnaikkan kesini tetapi biarlah kemudian kemudian pulak.

Nak bersiap mandi manda dan seterusnya checkout dari bilik hotel ini selepas itu jalan jalan cari sarapan. Program seterusnya bertandang kerumah saudara.

Ada Majlis Keraian Hari Ibu disana. :)

Sekian dulu dari saya di Kuantan, Bandar Lestari, Pahang Darul Makmur.

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Hindraf Bebas dari ISA! Jamaah Islamiyyah Bila Pulak?


















Saya merujuk kepada laporan pembebasan 3 pemimpin Hindraf dari tahanan ISA.

Sekiranya kerajaan 1Malaysia pimpinan Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak merasakan pimpinan Hindraf sudah tidak merbahaya lagi terhadap keselamatan negara, maka ingin saya bertanya apakah yang menghalang pembebasan tahanan tahanan lain terutamanya mereka yang dari aliran jamaah Islamiyyah?

Saya rasa Kerajaan Malaysia harus berlaku adil terhadap tahanan tahanan ISA yang tidak lagi mendatangkan sebarang ancaman terhadap keselamatan negara ini dengan membebaskan mereka seiring dengan langkah membebaskan pemimpin pemimpin Hindraf yang secara jelas meminta campurtangan negara asing seperti bekas penjajah negara ini @ Great Britain untuk menangani masaalah kaum India yang dikatakan tertindas dinegara ini sejak Merdeka!

Saya rasa sekiranya Kerajaan 1Malaysia pimpinan Najib Tun Razak merasakan Hindraf tidak berbahaya lagi dan boleh membebaskan mereka yang dahulunya dianggap pengganas dan ekstremis merbahaya sehingga perlu mereka ditahan dan dipenjarakan di Kem Tahanan Kamunting sejak sekian lama ini, maka patut sangatlah Kerajaan 1Malaysia Najib Tun Razak mempertimbangkan membebaskan saudara seIslam dengan kita yang sudah terpisah dari anak isteri mereka sejak bertahun tahun yang sudah!

Saya tidak sampai ingin meminta supaya Kerajaan Malaysia menghapuskan ISA secara total kerana kita masih perlu membanteras sebarang salah laku jenayah merbahaya dengan menangkap mana mana pihak subversif dan ejen negara negara asing yang bertujuan menjual atau khianat terhadap kedaulatan negara ini.

ISA juga mungkin diperlukan untuk menahan mana mana penjahat atau kumpulan yang bertujuan menggulingkan kerajaan secara tidak sah dan melakukan sebarang keganasan yang boleh menjahanamkan negara tercinta kita ini.

Saya meminta agar keadilan dilaksanakan secara saksama oleh Kerajaan 1Malaysia Dato Seri Najib Tun Haji Abdul Razak.

Bila Dato Seri boleh membebaskan pimpinan Hindraf yang dihukum sebagai kumpulan merbahaya dan diharamkan kerajaan, maka apa alasan untuk terus menahan saudara saudara seIslam kita di Kem Kamunting?

Seandainya mereka bersalah, maka kita ada sistem kehakiman dan mahkamah sivil serta 'Syariah'. Bicarakan lah mereka menurut akta akta yang sedia ada dan sekiranya sabit kesalahan mereka maka harus ditolak tempoh yang mereka berada didalam tahanan sejak ditangkap dan dipenjarakan.

Jika Kerajaan Malaysia terutama Kementerian Keselamatan Dalam Negeri berpuashati bahawa mereka tidak lagi membahayakan keselamatan negara kita ini, maka eloklah tahanan Islam kita dibebaskan sama seperti pemimpin Hindraf 3 orang hari ini.

Semoga mendapat perhatian dan pertimbangan Dato Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Onn.

Insya Allah.

East Coast Escapade - Our favorite sojourn

Assalamualaikum dear brothers and sisters,

Alhamdulillah, we are back in the East Coast of the Malaysian Peninsular. Attending a wedding feast of my wife's relative in Kuantan, her hometown.

We reached Kuantan on Thursday evening. After checking in to our hotel room, we then proceeded to Kemaman, where a very enthusiastic 4 year old had been waiting with full anticipation for his 'Atok Uncle' to come settle his pc woes. :P

For those who have yet to know, this 4 year old is none other than Muhammad Amir Rafiq bin Mohd Rafee bin Harith, my wife's grand nephew.

He lives in Telok Kalong, Kemaman, Terengganu. For a 4 year old, this little whiz kid is quite advanced for his age and takes to the personal computer like a duck taking to water. Hehehehe..

When we reached Amir's home, he was already waiting excitedly and a broad wide grin broke out on his face and he greeted us so warmly. 'Excited giler' was his mom's words for the young chap had been pestering her since the last two months asking when was 'Atok Uncle' coming?

We last visited him in March and I had fixed his internet connectivity problem then. This time around, I saw that he had been downloading Yahoo Games and in a way, swamped his desktop with so many icons, etcetera.

Inadvertently, Amir had downloaded a Trojan virus which had wormed its way into his pc's system, slowing down its performance.

I ran the Avast Antivirus and promptly traced the Trojan virus which I immediately deleted and removed from Amir's pc. I then ran the CCleaner in total for there were many boxes which Amir or some other user of the pc had unchecked, thus not getting to such areas where viruses could enter and remain entrenched affecting the computer's performance.

Alhamdulillah, I managed to get his computer back to its tip top performance level and set up a Systems Restore point.

I coached Amir's dad on how to restore the pc back to it's peak performance point if the pc acts up again due to any virus attacks or Amir inadvertently does something wrong to his computer.

Thanks be to Microsoft Windows for such a system. :)

Will be following up with pictures and videos of Amir after this for its time for us to go out for our breakfast.

It's been a very exciting day yesterday @ Friday. I came across many interesting things ; a wild boar dead in front of a house, a 70 plus old man dehusking hundreds of coconuts, wild monkeys frolicking on the roads, lots of goats, cows, water buffaloes, Sea Gypsies, etc.

We also drove up to Pekan, Pahang and even explored the kampongs all the way to Tanjong Agas.

Tanjong Agas has many mangrove swamps and unique scenes that brought back my memories of my now obliterated seafront village in East Jelutong, Penang Island.

Check later for such reports and see for yourselves sceneries that you would never find in KL! :D

Till later, Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Hukum Shariah Malaysia adalah tidak menepati Hukum Allah SWT!

Kategori : Seruan kepada Muslimin dan Muslimat Malaysia sahaja. Para pembaca yang Bukan Islam dipohon sekadar membaca sahaja. Ribuan Terimakasih.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bismillahirrahmanirahim.
Dengan nama Allah, Tuhan Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Ta'ala Wabarakatuh.

Saudara saudari, umat Islam tercinta sekelian.

Saya perhatikan bahawa sejak beberapa tahun ini, keadaan masyarakat Islam di Malaysia ini semakin lama semakin kalut dan berlakunya penyerapan budaya mungkar didalam dunia hiburan media massa tanahair dengan kadar yang amat membimbangkan.

Semuanya ini berlaku akibat ketidaktepatan Hukum Hakam Shariah didalam negara ini yang lari dari ketetapan Hukum Shariah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala yang sebenar!

Negara kita ini dicanangkan sebagai sebuah negara Muslim yang progresif serta menjadi simbol kejayaan sebuah negara 'Islam' mengikut perspektif oleh para 'sarjana dan ilmuan' duniawi baik didalam negara ini sendiri mahupun dari negara negara Timur Tengah yang mendabik dada sebagai negara negara Islam sebenar?

Iye kah begitu?





















Apakah kita ini benar benar sebuah negara Islam mengikut acuan dan garis panduan Al Qur'an dan Sunnah Rasulullah?





















Setahu saya, pemerintahan negara ini berpaksi kepada undang undang bukan Islam serta kedudukan Undang Undang yang diperakukan sebagai Undang Undang Shariah hanya sekadar bayang bayang sahaja dari Undang Undang Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala yang sebenar dan teramat jauh dari apa yang disampaikan oleh Nabi Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Sila betulkan saya jika sekiranya apa yang saya nyatakan disini adalah tidak benar dan dusta semata mata!

Saya ingin bertanya kepada para 'ilmuan Islam' didalam negara ini samada benar atau tidak kata kata saya diatas bahawasanya Undang Undang Shariah yang dimaktubkan didalam Hukum Kanun Sistem Perundangan Malaysia hari ini jauh panggang dari api didalam ertikata bahawa apa yang diwar warkan sebagai Undang Undang Shariah Persekutuan Malaysia adalah satu pemalsuan belaka dari segi unsur unsur perincian hukum jenayah yang disebut didalam Al Quran Al Karim dan keterangan didalam Hadis Hadis Sahih Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam?

Akibat kecelaruan dikalangan masyarakat kita terutamanya yang mengaku beragama Islam tetapi hidup mengalahkan orang orang kaffir dari sudut bebas melakukan maksiat dan jenayah amat membimbangkan sekali sejak akhir akhir ini!













































Rompak, rogol, bunuh, menyerang dan membelasah warganegara termasuk sampai menyerang balai polis dan merompak OCPD Polis Johor Selatan Asisten Komisioner Zainuddin Yaacob di Taman Damansara Aliff, Johor Bahru baru baru ini menunjukkan betapa undang undang sedia ada yang berasaskan hukuman sekular British tidak berkesan sama sekali untuk mengekang mahupun membanteras gejala peningkatan kadar jenayah negara!

Nak tunggu apa lagi?

Sampai negara ini menjadi huru hara?

Jangan persalahkan orang awam yang terpaksa mengambil langkah langkah menjaga keselamatan diri sendiri sehingga tertubuhnya nanti pasukan pasukan 'vigilante' persendirian yang terpaksa pergi memerangi para penjenayah durjana yang semakin berleluasa sekarang!!!

Sila lawati http://mpk.rmp.gov.my/jurnal/2005/riseofcrime.pdf untuk melihat sendiri kadar kenaikan jenayah yang diterbitkan oleh pegawai tinggi Polis di Raja Malaysia sendiri.

Ini pulak kadar jenayah syariah :

Ini pula kadar jenayah secara am :

Ini laporan http://www.groundreport.com/Arts_and_Culture/Crime-Rate-Increasing-by-the-year-in-Malaysia

Saya menyeru pihak Kerajaan Malaysia supaya kembalilah kepada fitrah.

Tegakkanlah Syariah Allah didalam ertikata sebenar benarnya dan hentikan berdrama swasta didalam memerintah negara ini mengikut lunas undang undang ciptaan manusia dan kembalilah kepada Hukum Allah Azza Wa Jalla.

Ada caranya jika benar benar ikhlas ingin melihat negara ini aman dan makmur kembali!





















Seandainya Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak benar benar bersih dan sesuci embun diwaktu pagi, maka apakah yang perlu ditakutkan dengan Syariah Allah sebenar benarnya?

Ramai yang menuduh macam macam terhadap diri pencipta Wawasan 1Malaysia ini.

Soalnya apakah diri Menteri Perdana ke 6 Malaysia ini berani menegakkan panji panji Allah seperti selalu dilaung laungkannya atau ianya sekadar pengulangan retorik semasa yang semakin membasi dan lama kelamaan akan turut mengumpul debu dimuzium sejarah politik perjuangan mengisi tembolok masing masing?

Atau seperti biasa, tradisi salam berisi akan terus menjadi amalan tegar dikalangan pembesar negara?












Seperti biasa, yang boleh kita buat adalah tunggu dan lihat.

Tak gitu?

Ma'dan @ Marsh Arabs - Descendants of the ancient Sumerians.

Assalamualaikum dear brothers and sisters,

A question posed to me by a commenter in my previous article triggered me into studying about the Ma'dan @ Marsh Arabs of Iraq.

These ancient people have their roots going back to more than five thousand years of human civilization back to the times of the Sumerians.

Let's watch these videos by Al Jazeera's Witness program and learn about the descendants of Sumeria, located in these marshlands of Iraq.

Grameen Bank's Micro Financing for Beggars.





I find it quite interesting how the distinguished genius in the person of Dakar University Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Founder of Grameen Bank of Bangladesh and the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner has once again launched a very brilliant way to help the hardcore poor like beggars to start their life anew by getting micro financing from banks such as his and to stop depending on just alms from the general public and start becoming micro enterpreneurs or mobile salespersons.

Watch the video above and see how a man such as Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus has been helping hundreds of thousands of poor people to get out of the poverty rut?

If governments of the world can just emulate the brilliant ideas of Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank and put it to practice in their society, I am sure that many will benefit.

After all, what's the point of having governments regardless of whether they are 'first world' countries like the US, UK, etc. or countries struggling with the teeming masses of the hardcore poor and destitutes?

Countries which have teeming masses of hardcore poor such as in India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Laos, Kampuchea, Vietnam, Philipphines, Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, Brazil, etc.

I think that if they could only put to practice what Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank have achieved through the micro financing schemes he has devised, millions if not billions of humanbeings suffering from their abject poverty will finally be able to breathe easier and live a more decent sustainable quality of life?

I hope that our Malaysian Government authorities are watching these videos and start something similar to what Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank have achieved through these beneficial programmes for the poor.

The Hadra and the Sacred Law by Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller






A person coming to the Middle East to learn something about the tariqa is likely, at some point in his visit, to see the brethren in the hadra or “public dhikr” as it has been traditionally practiced by generations of Shadhilis in North Africa under such sheikhs as al-‘Arabi al-Darqawi, Muhammad al-Buzidi, and Ahmad al-‘Alawi before being brought to Damascus from Algeria by Muhammad ibn Yallis and Muhammad al-Hashimi at the beginning of this century.

Upon entering the mosque, one will see circles of men making dhikr (women participants are screened from view upstairs) standing and holding hands, now slightly bowing in unison, now moving up and down with their knees in unison, the rows rising and falling, breathing in unison, while certain of them alternate at pacing around their midst, conducting the tempo of the group’s motion and breathing with their arms and step. Singers near the sheikh, in solo or chorus, deliver mystical odes to the rhythm of the group; high, spiritual poetry from masters like Ibn al-Farid, Sheikh Ahmad al-‘Alawi, ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Himsi, and our own sheikh.

Though a very stirring experience, it is meticulously timed and controlled, and as with all group dhikrs, the main adab or “proper behaviour” is harmony. No one should stand out in any way, but rather all subordinate their movement, breathing, and dhikr to that of the group. The purpose is to forget one’s individuality in the collective sea of spirits making dhikr in unison. Individual motives, thoughts, and preoccupations are momentarily put aside by means of the Sacred Dance, of moving together as one, sublimating and transcending the limitary and personal through the timelessness of rhythm, conjoined with the melody of voices singing spiritual meanings.

It is an experience that joins those travelling towards Allah spiritually, socially, and emotionally. Few forget it, and visitors from the West to whom it is unfamiliar sometimes wonder if it is a bid‘a or “reprehensible innovation,” as it was not done in the time of the earliest Muslims, or whether it is unlawful (haram) or offensive (makruh); and why they see the ulama and righteous attending it in Damascus, Jerusalem, Aden, Cairo, Tripoli, Tunis, Fez, and wherever there are people of the path.

I was one of those who asked our sheikh about the relation of the hadra to the shari‘a or “Sacred Law” which is the guiding light of our tariqa. As Muslims, our submission to the law is total, and there are no thoughts or opinions after legally answering the question “Does the hadra agree with orthodox Islam?”

Because it comprises a number of various elements, such as gathering together for the remembrance of Allah (dhikr), singing, and dancing, we should reflect for a moment on some general considerations about the Islamic shari‘a before discussing each of these separately.

First, the Islamic shari‘a furnishes a comprehensive criterion for all possible human actions, whether done before or never done before.

It classifies actions into five categories:
  1. the obligatory (wajib), whose performance is rewarded by Allah in the next life and whose nonperformance is punished;
  2. the recommended (mandub), whose perfor­mance is rewarded but whose nonperformance is not pun­ished;
  3. the permissible (mubah), whose performance is not rewarded and whose nonperformance is not punished;
  4. the offensive (makruh), whose nonperformance is rewarded but whose performance is not punished; and
  5. the unlawful (haram), whose nonperformance is rewarded and whose performance is punished.
Now, Allah in His wisdom has made the vast majority of human actions permissible. He says in surat al-Baqara, “It is He who has created everything on earth for you” (Koran 2:29), which establishes the shari‘a principle that all things are mubah or permissible for us until Allah indicates to us that they are otherwise. Because of this, the fact that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) did not do this or that particular practice does not prove that it is offensive or unlawful, but only that it is not obligatory.

This is the reason that when shari‘a scholars speak of bid‘a, they do not merely mean an “innovation” or something that was never done before, which is the lexical sense of the word, but rather a “blameworthy innovation” or something new that no legal evidence in Sacred Law attests to the validity of, which is the shari‘a sense of the word.

The latter is the bid‘a of misguidance mentioned in the hadith “The worst of matters are those that are new, and every innovation (bid‘a) is misguidance” (Sahih Muslim. 5 vols. Cairo 1376/1956. Reprint. Beirut: Dar al-Fikr, 1403/1983, 2.592: 867), which, although general in wording, scholars say refers specifically to new matters that entail something offensive or unlawful.

Imam Shafi‘i explains:

New matters are of two kinds: something newly begun that contravenes the Koran, sunna, the position of early Muslims, or consensus of scholars (ijma‘): this innovation is misguidance.

And something newly inaugurated of the good in which there is no contravention of any of these, and is therefore something which although new (muhdatha), is not blameworthy.

For when ‘Umar (Allah be well pleased with him) saw the [tarawih] prayer being performed [in a group by Muslims at the mosque] in Ramadan, he said, “What a good innovation (bid‘a) this is,” meaning something newly begun that had not been done before.

And although in fact it had, this does not negate the legal considerations just advanced [n: i.e. that it furnishes an example of something that ‘Umar, who was a scholar of the Sahaba, praised as a “good innovation” despite his belief that it had not been done before, because it did not contravene the broad principles of the Koran or sunna] (Dhahabi: Siyar a‘lam al-nubala’. 23 vols. Beirut: Mu’assassa al-Risala, 1401/1981, 10.70).

As for the practice of Muslims gathering together for group dhikr or the “invocation of Allah,” there is much evidence of its praiseworthiness in the sunna—aside from the many Koranic verses and the hadiths establishing the general merit of dhikr in every state—such as the hadith related by Bukhari:

Truly, Allah has angels going about the ways, looking for people of dhikr, and when they find a group of men invoking Allah, they call to one another, “Come to what you have been looking for!” and they circle around them with their wings up to the sky of this world.

Then their Lord asks them, though He knows better than they, “What do My servants say?” And they reply, “They say, Subhan Allah (“I glorify Allah’s absolute perfection”), Allahu Akbar (“Allah is ever greatest”), and al-Hamdu li Llah (“All praise be to Allah”), and they extoll Your glory.”

He says, “Have they seen Me?” And they answer, “No, by Allah, they have not seen You.” And He says, “How would it be, had they seen Me?” And they say, “If they had seen You, they would have worshipped You even more, glorified You more, and said Subhan Allah the more.”

He asks them, “What do they ask of Me?” And one answers, “They ask You paradise.” He says, “Have they seen it?” And they say, “No, by Allah, My Lord, they have not seen it.” And He says, “How would it be, had they seen it?” And they say, “If they had seen it, they would have been more avid for it, sought it more, and been more desirous of it.”

Then He asks them, “From what do they seek refuge?” And they answer, “From hell.” He says, “Have they seen it?” And they say, “No, by Allah, they have not seen it.” And He says, “How would it be, had they seen it?” And they say, “If they had seen it, they would have fled from it even more, and been more fearful of it.”

He says, “I charge all of you to bear witness that I have forgiven them.”

Then one of the angels says, “So-and-so is among them, though he is not one of them but only came for something he needed.” And Allah says, “They are companions through whom no one who keeps their company shall meet perdition” (Sahih al-Bukhari. 9 vols. Cairo 1313/1895. Reprint (9 vols. in 3). Beirut: Dar al-Jil, n.d., 8.107–8: 6408).

The last line of the hadith shows the highest approval for gatherings of dhikr in the religion of Allah. Some other accounts transmit the condemnation of Ibn Mas‘ud (Allah be well please with him) for gathering together to say Subhan Allah (perhaps out of fear of ostentation), but even if we were to grant their authenticity, the above hadith of Bukhari, containing the explicit approval of such gatherings by Allah and His messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) suffices us from needing the permission of Ibn Mas‘ud or any other human being.

Further, the explicit mention of the various forms of dhikr in the hadith suffice in reply to certain contemporary “re-formers” of Islam, who attempt to reduce “sessions of dhikr” to educational gatherings alone by quoting the words of ‘Ata' (ibn Abi Rabah, Mufti of Mecca, d. 114/732), who reportedly said, "Sessions of dhikr are the sessions of [teaching people] the lawful and unlawful, how you buy, sell, pray, fast, wed, divorce, make the pilgrimage, and the like". (Nawawi: al-Majmu‘: Sharh al-Muhadhdhab. 20 vols. Cairo n.d. Reprint. Medina: al-Maktaba al-Salafiyya, n.d., 1.21).

Perhaps ‘Ata' intended to inform people that teaching and learning shari‘a are also a form of dhikr, but in any case it is clear from the Prophet’s explicit words (Allah bless him and give him peace) in the above hadith that “sessions of dhikr” cannot be limited to teaching and learning Sacred Law alone, but primarily mean gatherings of Muslims to invoke Allah in dhikr.

As for dancing, Imam Ahmad relates from Anas (Allah be well pleased with him), with a chain of transmission all of whose narrators are those of Bukhari except Hammad ibn Salama, who is one of the narrators of Muslim, that the Ethiopians danced in front of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace); dancing and saying [in their language], “Muhammad is a righteous servant.” The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “What are they saying?” And they said, “‘Muhammad is a righteous servant’” (Musnad al-Imam Ahmad. 6 vols. Cairo 1313/1895. Reprint. Beirut: Dar Sadir, n.d., 3.152).

Other versions of the hadith clarify that this took place in the mosque in Medina, though in any case, the fact that dancing was done before the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) establishes that it is mubah or “permissible” in the shari‘a, for if it had been otherwise, he would have been obliged to condemn it.

For this reason, Imam Nawawi says: "Dancing is not unlawful, unless it is languid, like the movements of the effeminate. And it is permissible to speak and to sing poetry, unless it satirizes someone, is obscene, or alludes to a particular woman” (Minhaj al-talibin wa ‘umdat al-muttaqin. Cairo 1338/1920. Reprint. Cairo: Mustafa al-Babi al-Halabi, n.d., 152).

This is a legal text for the permissibility of both dancing and singing poetry from the Minhaj al-talibin, the central legal work of the entire late Shafi‘i school. Islamic scholars point out that if something which is permissible, such as singing poetry or dancing, is conjoined with something that is recommended, such as dhikr or gatherings to make dhikr, the result of this conjoining will not be offensive (makruh) or unlawful (haram).

Imam Jalal al-Din Suyuti was asked for a fatwa or formal legal opinion concerning “a group of Sufis who had gathered for a session of dhikr,” and he replied: "How can one condemn (those) making dhikr while standing, or standing while making dhikr, when Allah Most High says, “. . . those who invoke Allah standing, sitting, and upon their sides” (Koran 3:191).

And ‘A'isha (Allah be well pleased with her) said, “The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to invoke Allah at all of his times” [Sahih Muslim, 1.282: 373]. And if dancing is added to this standing, it may not be condemned, as it is of the joy of spiritual vision and ecstasy, and the hadith exists [in many sources, such as Musnad al-Imam Ahmad, 1.108, with a sound (hasan) chain of transmission] that Ja‘far ibn Abi Talib danced in front of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) when the Prophet told him, “You resemble me in looks and in character,” dancing from the happiness he felt from being thus addressed, and the Prophet did not condemn him for doing so, this being a basis for the legal acceptability of the Sufis dancing from the joys of the ecstasies they experience (al-Hawi li al-fatawi. 2 vols. Cairo 1352/1933–34. Reprint. Beirut: Dar al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyya, 1403/1983, 2.234).

Now, Suyuti was a hadith master (hafiz, someone with over 100,000 hadiths by memory) and a recognized mujtahid Imam who authored hundreds of works in the shari‘a sciences, and his formal opinion, together with the previously cited ruling of Imam Nawawi in the Minhaj al-talibin, constitutes an authoritative legal text (nass) in the Shafi‘i school establishing that circles of dhikr which comprise the singing of spiritual poetry and dancing are neither offensive (makruh) nor unlawful (haram)—unless associated with other unlawful factors such as listening to musical instruments or the mixing of men and women—but rather are permissible.

To summarize, the hadra of our tariqa, consisting of circles of invocation of Allah (dhikr) conjoined with the singing of permissible poetry and dancing, is compatible with the Sacred Law of orthodox Islam; and when the latter elements facilitate presence of heart with Allah (as they do with most people who possess hearts), they deserve a reward from Allah by those who intend them as such. And this is the aim and importance of the hadra in the tariqa.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Ta'ala Wabarakatuh!

Brothers and Sisters, Ikhwanul Muslimin na wal Muslimat, Mukminin na wal Mukminat!

Many have contacted me asking about the practice of the Sufi's in conducting the Hadrah, something which was not done in the times of the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

The example of the hadith given above where the instance of the Sahabi Jaafar ibni Abi Talib danced before the Blessed Messenger Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam in his moment of joy at being in the company of the Noble Prophet of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is usually used as a basis for allowing such acts of joy in the Remembrance of Allah the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful en masse.

Such gatherings of the Believers who come together to glorify and sing praises to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Greatest Messenger is borne out of nothing but love towards Our Creator and His Mercy to all Mankind in the person of Muhammad ibni Abdullah, the Seal of the Prophets, Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

In my years of becoming a mureed of Syaikh Nazim Adil Al Haqqani Al Qubrusi An Naqsyabandi, I had my moments of doubts as to whether these acts of participating in the Hadrah had its basis in Al Islam?

Being a mureed to the world of the Sufi's, I had to check and recheck as to what is allowed and what is considered to be a bida'ah?

I am still learning about all these but certain acts that make me feel not so keen to be involved in them, make me get back to researching and studying about them by poring through my Tafsir's of the Glorious Quran and seek the answers in the volumes of the authentic Hadiths of Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam in my possession and by asking my mentors @ Murshids about them?

I hold firm to what is allowed in Islam and I try my level best to check in depth and in detail about such matters that are vague and not really addressed by the ulamaks of the world.

***********************************************************************************

From Questions about the Hadra we learn the following :

Question:

"I would like to ask you questions on the commonly practised tradition of Hadrah as performed by some of the tariqa's within the branch of sufism. I have also observed that in some tariqa the hadra is performed with certain bodily movement whereas in some it is done whilst in the sitting position.

Is the practice of hadrah in accordance with the sunna?

When did this practise start and who started?

What is the purpose ofthis practise and what are the benefits?

Is this practise widespread through the muslim ummah?

Is this practise approved by well known scholars, if so who are they?

What is the wisdom of performing the hadrah with bodily movement (jumping etc)"


--
The correct person to ask about this would be someone versed in a Sufi Tariqa which practices the Hadra.

However, since the questions are simple and their answers are for the most part accessible to every traditional Muslim, I will attempt to address them from a Hadra-culture perspective, although my replies may be tinged with elements that are, strictly speaking, extraneous, for which I apologize in advance to those who are more knowledgeable.

Is the practice of hadrah in accordance with the sunna?

Yes, the practice of Hadrah is in accordance with the Sunna according to the authorities who wrote about it through the centuries and they produced proofs which, to any observer of good will, should be sufficient to show that the Hadrah is lawful.

Even the hypersunnistic detractors of the Hadrah are forced to agree that any (physical) movement or (verbal) ejaculation which stems from an (involuntary) emotional state of elation toward Allah Most High is excused even if it contravenes the Law, such as certain utterances made famous, among others, by our liege-lord Abu Yazid al-Bistami, may Allah sanctify his secret.

Ibn Taymiyya wrote about this in lenient terms and adduced the hadith: "The Pen of the Law is lifted from the sleeper and the person who is not in a normal mental state" (Majmu` al-Fatawa, volume on Tasawwuf).

When did this practise start and who started it?

This is essentially a poorly-phrased or poorly-conceived question, since it is designed to mislead at the root, the reason being that, in light of the first question, the issue is not "when" this practice started and "who" started it - which is of secondary, historical interest - but whether its principle is rooted in the Qur'an and the Sunna or not?

Allah Most High said of His sincere remembers: { Then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allah } (39:23).

Our liege-lord `Ali, Allah be well-pleased with him, said:

"I visited the Prophet, Allah bless and greet him, with Ja`far (ibn Abi Talib) and Zayd (ibn Haritha).

The Prophet, Allah bless and greet him, said to Zayd: "You are my freedman" (anta mawlay), whereupon Zayd began to hop on one leg around the Prophet (hajala).

The Prophet, Allah bless and greet him, then said to Ja`far: "You resemble me in my creation and my manners" (ashbahta khalqi wa- khuluqi), whereupon Ja`far began to hop behind Zayd.

The Prophet, Allah bless and greet him, then said to me: "You are part of me and I am part of you" (anta minni wa-ana mink) whereupon I began to hop behind Ja`far."

He also said of the Companions as a whole:

"When Allah Most High was mentioned they swayed the way trees sway on a windy day, then their eyes poured out tears until - by Allah! - they soaked their clothes. By Allah! Folks today are asleep and heedless." Abû Nu`aym, Hilya (1985 1:76, 10:388).

The simile of swaying trees is reminiscent of the Prophetic hadith "The one who mentions or remembers Allah among those who forget Him is like a green tree in the midst of dry ones."

So then, both from the perspective of the Sunna and that of historical chronology, it is a practice of the Believers extolled by the Qur'an, practiced by three of the first and foremost of Ahl al- Bayt, observed by the Door of the City of Knowledge as characteristic of the Prophetic Companions, Allah be well-pleased with them.

What is the purpose of this practise and what are the benefits?

To cast out heedlessness and signal the difference between the living (ahl al-akhira) and the dead (ahl al-dunya); to unburden the heart from worldly cares and enliven it with the Dhikr of Allah Most High with the use of the body in the same perspective as Imam al-Hasan al- Basri when he excused himself for using a sibha by saying: "I love to remember Allah Most High with my heart, my tongue, and my hand," even if the most superior dhikr of all is the first (by heart).

Abu Hurayra said that while on the road to Mecca the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, passed on top of a mountain called Jumdan, at which time he said:

"Move on, for here is Jumdan which has overtaken the single-minded." They said: "What are the single-minded (mufarridûn)? He said: "The men and women who remember Allah much" (33:35). Muslim related it in his Sahih, beginning of the book of Dhikr.

The version in Tirmidhi has: "It was said: And what are the single- minded? He replied: Those who dote on the remembrance of Allah and are ridiculed because of it, whose burden the dhikr removes from them, so that they come to Allah fluttering!"

Imam al-Nawawi said in his Sharh Sahih Muslim that another narration of the same hadith has: "They are those who shake or are moved at the mention or remembrance of Allah (hum al-ladhina ihtazzu fi dhikrillah)," that is, al-Nawawi comments, "They have become fervently devoted and attached to His remembrance."

Al-Mundhiri said in al-Targhib wa al-tarhib: "The single-minded and those who dote on the dhikr and are ridiculed for it: these are the ones set afire with the remembrance of Allah."

In another explanation of mufarridun cited by Ibn Qayyim in Madarij al-Salikin, the meaning is "those that tremble from reciting dhikrullah, entranced with it perpetually, not caring what people say or do about them."

Is this practice widespread through the muslim ummah?

Most Sufi Tariqas use the Hadra or something similar, and most of the Muslim Ummah follows the teachings of Tasawwuf, so yes, one would have to say that this practice is widespread through the Muslim Umma.

Is this practice approved by well known scholars, if so who are they?

All those who wrote on poetry-audition or sama` addressed the movement of the body during such audition.

Such discussions are found in Kitab al-Luma` by Abu Nasr al-Sarraj, Ibn Khafif's `Aqida (section on Tasawwuf), the Ihya `Ulum al-Din, and Imam al-Dhahabi in Siyar A`lam al-Nubala', in his chapter on Sultan al-`Ulama' Ibn `Abd al- Salam mentioned that the latter "attended the sama` and danced in states of ecstasy" (kana yahduru al-sama` wa-yarqusu wa-yatawajad).

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Hajar al-Haytami mentions that some scholars have seen in the hadith of "hajal" (cited above) evidence for the permissibility of dancing (al-raqs) upon hearing a recital (sama`) that lifts the spirit. There is a lot more evidence mentioned by the Ulama.

What is the wisdom of performing the hadrah with bodily movement (jumping etc)?

The same wisdom as the words of the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, to the Abyssinians who displayed themselves through certain choreographed movements in the Prophetic Mosque in Madina during `Eid: "Jump, O Banu Arfada!" while our Mother `A'isha was watching with his permission. Muslim narrated it in his Sahih, book of Salat al-`Idayn from `A'isha, Allah be well-pleased with her.

Sayyid Muhammad ibn `Alawi al-Maliki said in his book on the celebration of the Mawlid titled Hawl al-Ihtifal bi-Dhikri al-Mawlid al-Nabawi al-Sharif ("Regarding the Celebration of the Prophet's Birthday"):

"There is no doubt that such singing, dancing, reciting of poetry, and banging the drum was for joy at being with the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, nor did he condemn or frown upon such displays in any way whatsoever.

These are common displays of happiness and lawful merriment. Similarly, to stand up at the mention of the birth of the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, is an ordinary act that shows love and gladness symbolizing the joy of creation."

Imam Habib Mashhur al-Haddad said in Key to the Garden (p. 116), commenting on the verse already cited, {Then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allah} (39:23):

"The 'softening of the heart' consists in the sensitivity and timidity that occur as a result of nearness and tajalli [manifestation of one or more divine attributes]. Sufficient is it to have Allah as one's intimate companion!

"As for the 'softening of the skin' this is the ecstasy and swaying from side to side which result from intimacy and manifestation, or from fear and awe.

No blame is attached to someone who has reached this rank if he sways and chants, for in the painful throes of love and passion he finds something which arouses the highest yearning....

"The exhortation provided by fear and awe brings forth tears and forces one to tremble and be humble. These are the states of the righteous believers (abrar) when they hear the Speech and dhikr of Allah the Exalted. {Their skins shiver} (39:23), and then soften with their hearts and incline to dhikr of Him, as they are covered in serenity and dignity, so that they are neither frivolous, pretentious, noisy, or ostentatious. Allah the Exalted has not described them as people whose sense of reason has departed, who faint, dance, or jump about."

This is in short a basic documentation of the proofs of the Hadra. May Allah Most High cause us to leave and die on the path of active followership and living Dhikr of Him, not as naggers of innovation, laziness, and heedlessness.

Gibril.

*******************************************************************************

So to conclude, dear Ikhwanul Muslimin, I say that it is up to the Mukminin and Mukminat to embellish their self's and enamour their souls with the remembrance of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala according to their own individual levels of Islamic understanding and live their life's in the company of the dedicated Believers and Seekers of Allah Azza Wa Jalla's Bountiful Mercy and Maghfirah!

From the Kitab of Hadiths, Bulugh al Maram, compiled by Al Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani, The Comprehensive Book, Page 537, Chapter 6 - Remembrance of Allah and Supplications, Hadith # 1334, narrated Abu Huraira Radhiallahu Anhu :

Allah's Messenger Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam said:
" People will not sit in an assembly in which they remember Allah without the angels surrounding them, mercy covering them and Allah mentioning them among those who are with Him." [Reported by Muslim].

Meaning of the hadith :
Those who gather in remembrance, praise and worship of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala (such as the Sufi's) are blessed by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala by having His Malaikats @ Angels surrounding and covering them with their wings and invoking Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to bless and forgive them of their sins. To shower them with Allah's Baraqah and fill them with His Mercy.

They are mentioned by Allah to His Servants (Malaikats@ Angels) who are in His Glorious Presence, up there in the Arash above Jannahtul Firdaus.

Those who are involved with the Dhikr @ Remembrance of Allah are the blessed ones, fortunate to be able to dedicate their lives towards the Worship and Glorification of Ar Rahman throughout their lives.

For them, their reward is attaining the state of Nafsul Mutmainnah!


It's easy for those who have yet to reach that state of awareness about the truth of this faith of Al Islam to dismiss off the ones who are devoted towards the Worship and Remembrance of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala as those steeped in backwardness or non progressive amongst mankind.

Yet for all the advancements that mankind has come to achieve in terms of science and technology, we still remain as temporal mortal beings who are subject to the Will and Might of Almighty Allah!

Mankind can only do what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala allows them within the limited confines of this earthly life and at the end of the day, we will still cease to exist one of these days as attested by the coming into being and passing away of the generations and generations of Al Insan before us and after us today.

For we as humanbeings are nothing but Servants of Allah who depend on Him for all that we need here in this short temporary existence which we come to know as life?

One thing I know is that mankind will forever be consisted of those who constantly differ and argue over anything and everything that they have yet to understand or comprehend according to their limited abilities as being the creation of Almighty Allah.

Even those who are today celebrated and hailed as being the masters and experts of whatever field of study will still not have learned all that there is to the Oceans of Knowledge that the Almighty has revealed for there will still be universes of 'Ilm that only Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Himself knows of?

For the Sufi mureeds, all I can advise them to do is to study and know which acts and practices are allowed according to the Sunnah and which are wasteful and harmful innovative acts brought about by the forbidden over adulation and hero worshipping of the Mursyids and Sheikhs of whatever Tariqah one ascribes to which amounts to acts of shirk and kufr towards Ar Rahman.

Respecting the Syeikhs and Murshids is an acceptable thing to do for they are our teachers but please exercise your judgment and commonsense in not overdoing things such as kissing the feet of your masters for that is a haram thing which will lead both you and your Sheikhs to the burning pits of the Narr Al Jahannam!

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless and guide us to His Mercy and Forgiveness!

Ameen Ya Rabbal Alameen!

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

The Batang Kali Massacre by British Troops during the 1948 Malayan Emergency



It is a reality of war that atrocities are committed by armed forces in the heat of the battle or after prolonged exposes to the dulling of natural state of compassion in the fighting troops of whatever army or band of guerrillas.

The British Army had been ordered to brutalize many countries during the height of their colonizing period.

I have read many news reports and articles as to how the British simply massacred the protesting civilians of countries which they colonized in the name of their King or Queen since they became stronger than many other nations back then.

I have watched countless documentaries and movies depicting how the British simply overcame resistance from those whom they were conquering using nothing but armed might and brute force!

When I read about how Britain spirited away the wealth from our motherland here which was then known as British Malaya, I figured that is what most colonialists do?

So when I came across this news about the Batang Kali Massacre in 1948, 60 years ago, I try to visualize how things might have been during that time when the country was facing an Emergency brought about by the rampaging MPAJA @ Malayan People Anti Japanese Army also known as the Communist Party of Malaya, going around attacking police stations, killing those whom they suspected to be Japanese or British agents?

From what I have learned about the CPM @ Communist Party of Malaya, most of them consisted of the Chinese community with a few Malays.

Thus, when I try to picture what must have gone in the minds of the British Army in the form of those Scots Guard soldiers facing a village full of Chinese rubber tappers who might also seemed suspicious to them, I can just imagine that those British soldiers wouldn't have known as to how to differentiate between the communist guerillas and the villagers?

Thus the massacre!

As a fellow Malaysian, I sympathize with the survivors and descendants of those who were shot dead in cold blood on the 11th and 12th December, 1948!

Britain must accept responsibility for what its soldiers did back then and compensate the families of those who were killed and do what's right!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8025383.stm

No point in crowing about world peace, justice, law and order when one's own hands are covered with the blood of so many innocents, right across the whole wide world!

Let justice prevail!

Declassify the police records on the massacre!

Solat Terakhir oleh Zainol Abideen






Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Dengan nama Allah, Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Muslimin dan Muslimat yang saya hormati sekelian.

Tajuk penulisan saya hari ini adalah tentang 'Solat Terakhir' yang telah sempat kita laksanakan.

Apa ada diantara tuan puan merenung sejenak akan mutu solat kita yang terakhir kita tunaikan?

Iya. Mutu solat kita.

Apakah kita telah laksanakan sebagus mungkin solat kita yang terakhir tadi sepertimana dituntut didalam ajaran Rasulullah Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam atau sekadar 'tangkap muat' sahaja?

Dari apa yang telah saya pelajari tentang menunaikan solat fardhu dan juga sunnat, ada pelbagai tahap solat dan yang paling penting adalah tentang fahamkah tidak kita itu tentang apa yang kita kerjakan memenuhi tuntutan solat?






29:45 Otlu ma oohiya ilayka mina alkitabi waaqimi alssalata inna alssalata tanha AAani alfahshai waalmunkari walathikru Allahi akbaru waAllahu yaAAlamu ma tasnaAAoona

Maksudnya : "Bacalah serta ikutlah (wahai Muhammad) akan apa yang diwahyukan kepadamu dari Al-Quran, dan dirikanlah sembahyang (dengan tekun); sesungguhnya sembahyang itu mencegah dari perbuatan yang keji dan mungkar; dan sesungguhnya mengingati Allah adalah lebih besar (faedahnya dan kesannya); dan (ingatlah) Allah mengetahui akan apa yang kamu kerjakan."

Apakah itu sembahyang?

Adakah sekadar berpakaian yang bersesuaian, menutupi aurat dan kemudian nya mengambil air sembahyang @ wudhu' kemudian nya berdiri, ruku' dan sujud mengulangi bunyi bacaan ayat ayat suci Al Qur'anul Karim dan mengajuk sahaja segala perbuatan imam dan jamaah lain?

Sudah tentunya tidak!

Solat seorang muslimin atau muslimat ; mukminin na wal mukminat itu bukan hanya sekadar menurut kelakuan dan aksi yang menuruti tuntutan ibadah solat semata mata.

Ianya lebih dari lahiriah @ aksi jasad. Solat itu adalah rangkuman aksi jasad lahiriah serta ruh batiniyyah bagi mereka yang belajar tentang ilmu solat.

Kekadang kita melihat seseorang jamaah didalam masjid mahupun surau yang mengulang ulangi takbirratul ihram mereka kerana hati mereka belum dijalin seiring dengan niat dan tumpuan minda mereka terhadap ibadah solat terbabit.

Bilamana kita berdiri berniat ingin menunaikan solat tertentu maka penting bagi kita menumpukan perhatian, fikrah dan minda kita terhadap segala rukun rukun solat serta faham akan setiap rukun dan pengucapan didalam solat kita samada secara zahir ataupun batin (didalam hati).

Penghayatan solat ini berbeza beza dari seorang Muslim kepada yang lain kerana ianya melibatkan tahap kefahaman seseorang itu mengenai ilmu agama yang dipelajarinya.

Kelalaian seseorang didalam menghayati maksud bacaan dan faham akan kenapa ianya sedang bersolat itu di nyatakan didalam firman Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala didalam Surah Al Ma'un ayat ke 5 didalam Al Quranul Karim :



107:5 Allatheena hum AAan salatihim sahoona yang membawa maksud : (laitu) mereka yang berkeadaan lalai daripada menyempurnakan sembahyangnya.

Sadaqallah hal adzhim.
Benarlah Allah yang Maha Perkasa.

Lalai seperti apa yang dimaksudkan ini?

Lalai dengan tidak memusatkan pemikiran seseorang itu terhadap ibadah solat yang sedang ia laksanakan!

Boleh juga ditafsirkan sebagai seseorang yang pada zahirnya sedang bersolat tetapi dari segi batiniyyahnya sedang khusyuk memeikirkan hal ehwal duniawi dan sebagainya.
















Sumber Grafik

Nampak jasad itu sedang berdiri, duduk atau berbaring solat mengikut daya zahir anggota tubuhnya tetapi kepala otaknya aduh sedang ligat memikirkan benda lain?

Seribu satu perkara sedang 'online' didalam benak fikirannya. Selalunya perkara duniawi yang melibatkan peribadinya atau mana mana sahaja benda lain yang merunsingkan hati si lalai tadi?

Wallahu 'alam.

Pada hemat saya, solat dimana hati dan jasad tidak dijalin didalam satu penyerahan jiwa dan raga yang padu tidak akan meninggalkan kesan ketenangan spiritual yang kita cari didalam beribadah terhadap Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Tidak akan ada ketenangan jiwa pada mereka yang lalai didalam solat. Sama saja kusut fikiran @ raplah jingganya pada individu yang tidak dapat menyahkan perkara duniawi dari minda didirnya ketika beribadah terhadap Allah!

Solat itu tidak lut didalam jiwa dan mindanya. Nampak saja solat tetapi 'solat ekspres'. Tidak ada 'tuqmaninah' langsong diantara rukun solat. Kita belum sempat habis membaca Al Fatihah, hero kat sebelah sudah ruku'; bangun dari iktidal dan kemudiannya terus sujud!

Bukannya berburuk sangka tetapi memang hakikat bahawa solat tergesa gesa itu tidak diterima didalam ajaran Islam.

Didalam Kitab Bulugh al Maram yang mengumpulkan Hadis hadis sahih Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam susunan Syeikh Al Hafiz ibn Hajar Al Asqalani, Kitab Solat Bab 7, halaman 94, Hadis # 210, Abu Huraira Radhiallahu Anhu meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam telah bersabda :

"Bilamana kamu bangun untuk bersolat, maka hendaklah kamu mengambil wudhu' dengan sempurna. kemudian berdiri menghadap Qiblat dan bertakbir 'Allahu Akbar'(selepas berniat mengerjakan solat tertentu).

Kemudian bacalah Ayat ayat Qur'an yang sesuai ; ruku' dan berkeadaan sebegitu untuk seketika, kemudian berdiri semula dengan tegap ; kemudian sujud dan berada didalam keadaan begitu untuk seketika juga, kemudian duduk diantara dua sujud itu dengan tegap dan kemas, kemudian sujud kembali dan berada didalam keadaan begitu untuk seketika dan berlaku sedemikian sepanjang solat kamu itu".

(Dilaporkan oleh As-Sab'a dan menurut susunan Al Bukhari).

Kesimpulan hadis :

Tuan puan yang mulia,
Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam adalah Pesuruh Allah yang Terulung dan Sunnah Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam merupakan asas tertib pengamalan segala ibadah didalam ajaran Al Islam, Ad Deen Allah yang Maha Sempurna.

Bilamana kita hendak melaksanakan solat kita, maka penting bagi kita faham bahawa ianya mungkin adalah solat terakhir yang sempat kita tunaikan?

Maka adalah teramat penting bagi kita yang mengaku beriman kepada Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala untuk memastikan bahawa mutu solat yang kita tunaikan adalah yang terbaik mengikut sistem piawaian Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Amatlah ruginya kita seandainya solat yang kita lakukan dengan tidak tertumpu minda dan fikiran kita terhadap apa dia rukun solat yang sedang kita laksanakan.

Hadis diatas menerangkan kepada kita bahawa kita hendaklah memulakan proses pengerjaan solat kita dengan disiplin yang tinggi dan mengambil wudhu' dengan sesempurna yang boleh.

Kekadang kita sedar akan adanya sesama Islam dengan kita terlalu gopoh mengambil wudhu' secara begitu tergesa gesa sehingga kekadang kita baru sempat membasuh lengan tetapi orang yang datang kemudian dari kita sudah selesai membasuh kaki dan bergegas ke ruang masjid tanpa berhati hati melengkapkan pengambilan wudhu' mereka mengikut tertib.

Wudhu' yang tidak diambil dengan sempurna membuatkan solat yang dilakukan itu tidak sah disisi Allah.

Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam dilaporkan telah menyuruh seorang yang selesai solat supaya kembali pergi mengambil wudhu' yang baru kerana ada bahagian tumit kaki orang itu yang kering tidak kena air wudhu' semasa ianya memulakan solatnya diruang berhampiran baginda.

Maka adalah penting bagi kita yang ingin solat supaya memastikan diri kita mengambil wudhu' dengan tertib dan sesempurna mungkin.

Kita harus ingat bahawa solat itu adalah temujanji kita dengan Allah, Tuhan Maha Pencipta kita.

Sedangkan dengan manusia yang berkedudukan, kita berhati hati dan menumpukan segala perhatian, tuturkata, sikap dan penampilan kita, inikan pulak dengan Allah Azza Wa Jalla?

Maka bawa bertenang, fahami maksud setiap perbuatan dan bacaan kita didalam solat supaya akan ada hasil solat kita itu yang membuahkan ketenangan jiwa dan ruh kita.

Sesungguhnya hanya dengan mengingati Allah sahaja, hati kita akan menjadi tenang.

Belum tentu lagi akan diri kita berupaya solat seterusnya maka harus lah kita berhati hati mengerjakan solat kita yang sempat kita tunaikan supaya biarlah ia solat terbaik yang kita dapat laksanakan mengikut Sunnah Nabi Rahmatulil Alamin yang mungkin menjadi penebus dan kaffarah terhadap gunungan dosa dosa kecil atau besar yang kita telah lakukan secara sedar ataupun tidak?

Bertu'maninah iaitu berhenti sejenak didalam mengerjakan rukun rukun solat itu sebenarnya ada rahsia kesihatan zahir dan batin bagi mereka yang mahu mengambil faedah temujanji kita dengan Rabbul Alamin.

Suasana yang tenang, minda yang tertumpu terhadap apa dia yang sedang kita lakukan semasa solat itu sebenarnya membuahkan lebih banyak nikmat kepada kita tanpa kita sedar?

Bilamana kita ruku' dan menetapkan tulang belakang kita supaya selurus yang boleh, ianya membetulkan susunan urat saraf kita didalam tulang belakang kita itu dan meregangkan susunan tulang temulang yang menjadi asas rangka jasad kita.

Penetapan kedudukan dari tengkorak kepala kita dengan tulang pinggul kita mengemaskinikan susunan urat saraf dan otot otot belakang anggota tubuh kita memberikan peluang kepada badan kita untuk menegakkan kembali postur kita sesuai dengan keperluan jasad yang sihat dan tegap untuk membolehkan kita mencapai tahap kesihatan fizikal yang lebih baik.

Secara tidak langsung, kita telah melakukan senaman regangan yang amat diperlukan untuk memastikan tubuh kita terus sihat dan normal untuk hidup dengan baik selama ada lagi hayat kita kurniaan Ilahi.

Secara spiritual, kepala yang kita agung agungkan sebagai pusat memproses maklumat yang jasad kita terima turun selaras dengan bahagian pinggul dan punggung kita yang menjadi tempat keluar najis kita dari dubur.

Ego yang bersarang didalam kepala otak kita menjadi datar selaras dengan kedudukan kita semasa ruku'.

Saya berpendapat bahawa ego kita ketika ruku' menjadi normal didalam keadaan itu dan seandainya kita sempat menghayati maksud bacaan didalam ruku' iaitu :
"Subhana Rabbiyyal Azhimi Wabihamdihi!" x 3 kali.

Maksud bacaan itu adalah : ' Maha Suci Tuhanku yang Maha Agung!'

Cuba bayangkan diri kita ketika itu?

Sedang tunduk ruku' menurunkan kepala kita dimana bersarangnya segala tanggapan kita terhadap diri sendiri tanpa mengambil kira akan pangkat dan kedudukan kita sebagai itu dan ini, tunduk bersama sama dengan jamaah lain, sama sahaja kedudukan kepala kita yang kita agung agungkan itu sekian lama ini, kini mendatar bersama dengan kepala semua anggota jamaah yang lain didalam masjid, surau, ruang pejabat, kediaman kita atau dimana sahaja sedang kita laksanakan perintah Allah tersebut?

Walaupun anda Duli Yang Maha Mulia, Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agong atau Sultan dan Raja Melayu, Tengku Mahkota, Raja itu dan ini, Perdana Menteri, Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tun, Tan Sri, Datuk Seri, Datuk Paduka, Datuk, Dato' dan apa sahaja, kedudukan kepala anda sama sahaja dengan Pak Mat Penjual Tempe atau Abdul Hameed Nagoor Sultan, Muhammad Saravanan bin Abdullah, Abdul Rahim Tan bin Abdullah dan sebagainya?

Nah! Kita semua sama dihadhrat Allah ketika itu!

Allah Azza Wa Jalla memerintahkan kita supaya tunduk ruku' terhadap Nya kerana Ia Sang Maha Pencipta kita!

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tahu akan rahsia didalam hati kita masing masing. Tahap kesombongan dan ego kita yang sentiasa meruap ruap didalam benak fikiran dan minda masing masing!

Kita mungkin boleh berdrama swasta bila berdepan dan dikhalayak ramai tetapi Rabbul Alamin Maha Mengetahui akan apa dia intipati dan kandungan program ego didalam kepala otak kita masing masing!!!

Bagi Muslim dan Muslimat yang sadar diri dan tahu akan kelebihan dan kekurangan diri masing masing serta faham akan erti dan maksud didalam setiap rukun dan bacaan didalam solat sudah pasti akan menyesal dan mengharapkan pengampunan Allah akan setiap dosa dosa yang telah mereka lakukan atau khilaf sebelum ini?

Solat yang dilakukan dengan penuh pengertian dan khusyuk adalah ruang dan peluang terkini untuk menyerahkan diri jiwa dan raga terhadap penghakiman Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala didalam kesempatan solat yang sempat kita lakukan.

Masa yang berlalu tidak akan kembali lagi tetapi natijah setiap amal perbuatan kita pasti akan dibalas bila sampai saat dan waktu Yaum al Qiyamat nanti.

Ini hakikat realiti kehidupan kita sebagai Muslim.

'Qullu nafsin iza iqatul maut!'

Setiap yang bernyawa pasti akan mati.

Perlu apa kita tergesa gesa semasa beribadat?

Itu adalah perbuatan yang amat merugikan kerana kita mensia siakan masa yang diberikan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala untuk bertaubat.

Solat itu adalah ruang dan peluang untuk kita mensucikan diri kita dari kekotoran dosa dosa yang telah kita lakukan secara sedar atau sebaliknya.

Hargailah kesempatan bersolat ini dan kerjakan lah ia sebaik mungkin.

Saya ini jika menulis memang panjang berjela jela kerana ada seribu satu benda lagi yang perlu saya sampaikan selaku seorang Abdillah yang telah dan sedang berusaha bermuhasabah diri sedaya saya sejak sedar akan tuntutan Ilahi terhadap diri saya serta kesekelian umat Islam sedunia yang masih bernyawa dengan Izin Ar Rahman, Tuhan kita yang Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang.

Insya Allah akan saya sambung lagi nanti.

Semoga tulisan saya kali ini menjadi perangsang kepada anda tuan puan saudara saudari seIslam dengan saya untuk memantapkan lagi mutu amal ibadat tuan puan seiring dengan apa yang diperintah Ar Rahman dan disarankan oleh Sayyidul Mursalin, Nabi kita Muhammad Rahmatulil Alamin, Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam.

Saya izinkan anda untuk menyebarluaskan tulisan ini dan apa apa sahaja didalam ruang blog ini demi kebaikan semua.

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Posting out of topic comments - A Malaysian Malady!






















Dear readers,

I find it quite troublesome and boring when some readers post irrelevant comments which are out of topic and expect me to satisfy their curiosity about this and that matter which at times borders on crude and nonsensical issues.

I thought Malaysian blog readers should have matured by now but times and times again, I am proven wrong, much to my dismay and disbelief.

Seems like we still have a long, long way to go before our nation can say goodbye to nonsensical commenters and trolls.

There are those who love nothing but to lambast bloggers like me for publishing the truth as I see it from my own perspective.

These airheads forget that we aren't exactly their clones or mouthpieces to sing their own screwed up tunes, political philosophies or policies!

I mean for rational self respecting folks, when a blogger does not publish your crap, that ought to send you a signal that you can just cram your drivel in your own cyberspace and get the hint that your delusions aren't worth publishing over here but many seem to be stricken with the clueless in cyberspace syndrome!

Now, how do we cure that?

Just by remaining firm and stick to our guns as best as we can.

I sure wish that these 'wise guys' will one day see the light and stop sending their crap my way.

May my prayers be answered.

Ameen.

When Muslim rulers are weak...this is what happens?

Assalamualaikum ya Ikhwanul Muslimin na wal Muslimat.

How many of you have studied about the collapse of the Ottoman Caliphate?

How many of you have realized the coming to be true of so many of the Prophecies of the Final and Greatest Messenger of Allah Azza Wa Jalla which the Blessed Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam warned us about a thousand four hundred over years ago?

With the advent of science and technology, today we get to see with our own eyes, those historical prophecies be shown to us here today by way of these compilation of footage shot in a hundred over years ago and today presented to us by way of these Hizbut Tahrir produced videos in You Tube.

To those of you who wonder what really happened to the great Islamic Caliphate that once straddled most of Europe, Central Asia and spread even to the Great Empire of the Chinese in the Far East, watching these videos capturing what really took place back then and as to who were responsible for the breaking up of the Islamic Caliphate back then and ponder as to what the present day so called leaders of the pretentiously labelled 'Muslim nations of the Organisation of Islamic Conference @ OIC countries are doing as to the fate of the beleaguered Muslim ummah of the world?

Part 1 of 5


Part 2 of 5


Part 3 of 5


Part 4 of 5


Part 5 of 5

This posting is meant to awaken the Ummah to the realities facing them today as a result of having weak, apathetic and disillusioned so called leaders ruling over them.

What I am calling for is for those out there in the ummah who have it in them to step forward and do your bit for Al Islam.

Do your part for the people by guiding them towards the truth and help clear the society of all the misinformation and misguidance that the majority of the ummah are steeped in today!

It's disastrous to wait for things to change on their own!

Nothing will move until and unless we put some muscle into it. This is the hakikat of this earthly life and you know it!

Speak up for Al Islam and strive against the falsehood!

Insya Allah, we will prevail!







Al Qur'an Al Karim. Surah An Nahl (The Bee) Chapter 16 Verse 125
Transliteration : OdAAu ila sabeeli rabbika bialhikmati waalmawAAithati alhasanati wajadilhum biallatee hiya ahsanu inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bialmuhtadeena

English :
16:125 Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.

Malay:
16:125 Serulah ke jalan Tuhanmu (wahai Muhammad) dengan hikmat kebijaksanaan dan nasihat pengajaran yang baik, dan berbahaslah dengan mereka (yang engkau serukan itu) dengan cara yang lebih baik; sesungguhnya Tuhanmu Dia lah jua yang lebih mengetahui akan orang yang sesat dari jalanNya, dan Dia lah jua yang lebih mengetahui akan orang-orang yang mendapat hidayah petunjuk.

So, my dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

Please do your part and get involved in the effort of Dakwah al Islamiyyah before its too late!

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah.

Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Sing Children of the World!



Assalamualaikum O Children of Adam Alaihis Salam.

Come watch and listen to this beautiful, very meaningful nasyeed!

Ponder on its lyrics enjoining us to worship none but Allah the Almighty, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful God and Creator of us all and to unite as One Ummah!

The Children of the World deserve to live in peace and harmony and not be made pawns by those who are devious and deceitful in their misguided self's and tormented souls!

Reach out to them with love and guidance. Insya Allah, their fitrah will soon overcome them and return them to be rightful servants of God Most Almighty, Most Loving, Most Pure!

May we learn to live and prosper in peace together in worship of Ar Rahman.

Ameen.

Have a blessed Jumaat O Mukminins and Mukminats of the world!
