Allah itu bukan Tuhan (Panggilah Allah, Buangkan perkataan Tuhan)

Sampaikanlah Wahai Umat Yang Dimuliakan.. Walaupun dengan sepotong ayat.. Sampaikan lah kebenaran itu.. Wahai para pemikir dan pendakwah. Sampaikanlah, sesungguhnya umat terpilih itu dimuliakan Allah kerana mereka menyampaikan. Selepas itu kamu tiada kuasa atas mereka melainkan Allah yang mengambil urusan seterusnya.Maka itu sampaikanlah wahai umat-umat terpilih yang dimuliakan kejadiannya dengan bahasa yang kamu fahami. Mudahan kamu sekelian mendapat keredaan Allah Azzawajalla.Segalanya adalah ALLAH... bukannya tuhan..Syahadah bagi setiap muslim ialah Tiada "tuhan" melainkan "Allah" dan Muhammad adalah Penyampai Risalah Allah. Maka setiap muslim wajiblah beriman kepada "Allah" sahaja dan menyingkir nama "tuhan" :- Tiada tuhan dan Allah bukan tuhan:- Bahawa Allah adalah pencipta yang maha agung yang menciptal langit dan bumi serta seluruh isi alam,meliputi segala kejadian agung ciptaan nya. "Allah" yang mempunyai 99 nama yang indah tidak layak dipanggil "tuhan". Maka menyebut "tuhan" adalah maksiat dan menjadi kemurkaan Allah. Maka janganlah lagi berdoa dengan menyebut "Ya Allah Ya tuhan" sebaliknya sebutlah "Ya Allah Ya Rahman Ya Rahim".atau sebutlah "Ya Allah ……(sebutlah nama nya 99 yang indah itu ) Itulah yang terbaik untuk diamalkan dalam menuju jalan yang lurus, jalan yang diredhai Allah. Ya Allah Azzawajalla, daku telah menyampaikan amanah mu. Maka segala urusan seterusnya ku serahkan kepada dikau yang maha berkuasa lagi maha menguasai, yang maha kaya segalanya. Allah sahaja yang maha luas ilmunya dan yang maha memberitau.Semoga kita sekelian sentiasa dikurniakan taufik dan hidayah, keberkatan, kerahmatan dengan keredhaan Allah Azzawajalla. Kenapa kita tak boleh sebut tuhan..... Kita telah berikrar bahawa "tiada" tuhan melainkan Allah. Maknanya bagi orang mukmin yg telah berikrar begitu hanya ada Allah shj. Kalau kita selami secara tasauf, apa shj yg tiada kena mengena dgn Allah adalah di bawah pentadbiran iblis. Jadi jelas lah bahawa apabila telah menolak tuhan, maka tuhan ditadbir oleh iblis. Maka itu banyaklah tuhan2 wujud di muka bumi ini. Maka apabila muslim berdoa dgn menyebut tuhan.. sebahagian dari kehidupan nya akan ditadbir oleh iblis. Maka sebahagian rezeki nya juga dari iblis. Itulah rezeki2 haram. Adakah rezeki2 haram spt rasuah, judi, arak, pelacuran dan lain-lain itu dari Allah? Allah itu maha pemurah dengan keredaannya. Adakah Allah redha dgn yg haram? Fikirkanlah. Sesungguhnya Allah juga memberi izin kepada iblis untuk mentadbir dgn sedikit kuasa dari zatNya yg lemah. Iblis itu ghaib, mempunyai kekuatan utk membisik kesesatan dan ia didukung oleh syaitan2, jin2 dan manusia2 yg khianat kpd Allah juga sesama manusia. Ia menjadikan maksiat itu menarik dan sentiasa mendorong hati2 yg lalai kepadanya. Maka itu berhati2 lah. Tuhan juga sama dengan god, ilahi dan robbi. Maka itu hidupkanlah nama Allah itu disetiap hati kita sepanjang masa. Maka tiada ruang untuk tuhan membisikkan kesesatan. Sentiasalah bermohon izin utk mendapatkan perlindungan Allah dari kejahatan dan kesesatan mahluk2 tuhan ini.Senang saja…Perbezaan Allah dgn tuhan..Allah maha mencipta….Tuhan di cipta…Allah maha pengasih dan penyayang ..tuhan maha pemarah dan pembenci… Moga mendapat kefahaman yg jelas dengan izin dan keredhaan Allah Azzawajala. Ruj:antara surah:- (1). Surah Al-Israa’ ayat 22 & 42 , (2). Surah Adz-Dzaariyaat ayat 51 SURAH AL-MAIDAH AYAT-73. – Demi sesungguh nya kafir lah orang orang yang berkata “ Bahawa sa nya Allah ialah salah satu dari tiga tuhan “ pada hal tiada tuhan….melainkan Allah yang maha Esa…..” ……..

My Stand Regarding The Usage Of Word Allah By Christians Churches

Salam. I felt called to say what I think about the issues regarding the use of word Allah by Christian churches. Need be as I see this issued are being overplayed to incite hatred and anger for interreligious harmony & political agenda.

First, there is no suggestion by Allah himself that his name can be called by just the Muslim. Allah is the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. By this logic, Allah is definitely Owner of everything. Jesus Christ do not create Christian believer, Siddharta Gautama do not create Buddhist believer, and surely sun do not create sun worshipper. However, Allah does make suggestion what we can call him:
Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent God; whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do not utter your prayer with a very raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way between these(17:110). These means we can call him Allah, Ya Rahman, and Ya Rahim, but whichever He is called, he belongs to beautiful names. The previous cited sentence is the famous one that derived Asmaul Husna(Beautiful Names of Allah) I recall one hadith which sounds like these “Allah is Good and anything Good is associated with Him”. Therefore, it is a dumb suggestion that Allah is a name that is a franchise of Muslim, a God to Muslim specifically.

Second, we can refer to history. In its early Islamic civilization, Muslim has remarkable commitment to understanding and coexistence with the People of the Book. Islam clearly grants respect to Christians and Jews: Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to a common word between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah (Aal-Imran, 3:64) and in al-Ankabut Allah says: And dispute not with the People of the Book but say “We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and that which came down to you…our God [Allah] and your God [Allah] is One, and it is to Him we bow (al-Ankabut, 29:46). From here, it is obvious that Allah is One, none comparable to other so-called God. I could also remember the writing of Mufti Perlis; which he states the religious tolerance shown by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Muhamad allows the Christians and Jews to use the sentence (Bismikallahhumma) translated (with your name Allah).

Third, this issue could also serve a cynical message. Most of our malay Muslim often like to call God rather than Allah. The use of word God rather than that of Allah, especially by Muslim, shows very distant, unfriendly relationship with Allah. Alas, Allah creates this issue so to serve the reminder to Muslim. So this is a signal to call him by name Allah. God can refer to everybody below Him, but Allah refers to none except Allah, the One. Despite their reasoning that when they say God, they actly mean Allah, it is no excuse. It is matter of choice between knowing what is good and what is better.

Despite my points, I am not opted to either supports or forbid the usage of word Allah. On the other hand, I agree with the opinion by Khalid Samad and Marina Mahathir. Regarding marina mahathir opinion, it really attracts me. If muslim, being the true religion believer, why afraid of such little things? If you understand who Allah is, there is really no issue here. It is ok for the Christian and Jews to use it, if they have a good intention may Allah blessed them. It really depends on the intention, if they think of bad intention to use it; it is considerable that we endeavor to disallow it. This issue is simple, simple really. I believe the outbreak had been invented by none other than religious extremist and politician.

p/s: The Muslim better focus on a surefire things that are disallowed by Allah: Melodi( for gossiping, backbiting, scandalmongering which is stated by Allah in 104:1), Akademi Fantasia (for promoting entertainment that tends to mislead the youth from remembering Allah), and so MANY obvious things.

Has religion succeeded in its job of turning us into good peoples? - RPK

As the title suggested above, this is one must-read article. One of Raja Petra Kamaruddin best, i guess. Before that, i am going to answer his question. So far, surely religion had not succeeded in its job. It is because religion is partially a lie. Islam is not, Islam is more or others than that of a religion. It is a set of law that Allah gives to simplify the human life. Religion can be created out of nowhere but Islam is already there, it is set. In conclusion, too much religion had caused many problem with our life. We begin his article here:-

They say there are two types of people. There are leaders and there are followers. 1% of the people are leaders while the majority are followers.

Within these two categories are further sub-categories. There are good people and there are bad people.

Within the good people category, they can again be subdivided into two more categories. There are people who are good by nature and there are people who are good because they are scared of being bad. If they were not scared of being bad then they would certainly not be good because being bad is more fun than being good.

And within the bad people category there are people who are bad because they are bad by nature while others are bad because they feel they can get away with being bad without getting caught or that later they can always repent and become good whereby they would be forgiven for all the bad they have done.

And this is why people need religion. Religion stops you from being bad and forces you to be good. Without religion there would be no stick and carrot. You get the stick when you are bad and you get the carrot when you are good. It is a form of punishment and reward system. You get punished when you do bad and you get rewarded when you do good.

In short, religion works on the concept of the bribery system. You are bribed through the punishment and reward system when you do bad and good respectively. And since most people are susceptible to bribes they would conduct themselves accordingly depending on whether they wish to be rewarded or whether they do not fear the punishment and do not care much for the rewards.

Over thousands of years mankind has had to conduct itself based on what religion tells them they should do. Religion has been the guideline for our conduct long before the invention of the police force and the legal system comprising of laws and courts.

The history of religion, however, is a history of violence, persecution, cruelty and brutality. In the name of religion mankind has been subjected to much suffering.

The question is who invented religion? And is religion something that God sent us or something that man created to conveniently oppress and suppress fellow man?

I do not wish to engage in a debate as to the existence of God or otherwise. There are some who believe that there is a God (or Gods). Others believe in the existence of a higher power although they are not quite sure what it is and whether God is the correct word to use for this higher power. Then there are others who believe that man is the product of nature and not of a higher being named God or whatever.

I leave it to you to decide how you came to be.

All religions have what we could call holy books. The ‘main three’, also called the Abrahamic religions, have the Old and New Testaments and the Quran. A study of all three holy books would reveal that there are a lot of similarities and overlapping doctrines. You would not be mistaken if you were to think that the three Abrahamic faiths are actually one faith divided into three sects. Of course, these three ‘sects’ are further divided into many sub-sects who are at most times in conflict with one another.

Man has a natural instinct to be bad. But they are forbidden from being bad basically because the religion they believe in forbids it. If the religion they believe in were silent on the issue then most would choose to be bad rather than good. But they have no choice but to be good because they fear that if they are bad they would receive punishment and not receive the rewards promised to good people.

You could say that most people are not good by nature but are reluctantly good. It is not that there are no good people who are good by nature. There are, although they would be in the minority. And you will find that most of the people who are good by nature do not have any religion. Some do not even believe in God. They are good just because they are, by nature, good and for no other reason -- in particular not because they believe in the system of rewards and punishment that religions propagate.

Has religion succeeded in its job of turning us into good people? Or has it instead turned us into hypocrites? How many of us are good because it is in our heart and how many are good because we have no choice but to be good? If religion were silent on what constitutes good and bad and if there are no rewards and punishment for being either what kind of person would we become?

That is something to ponder upon this Sunday. And before you adopt that holier than thou attitude and start moralising, ask yourself: are you really a good person who has earned the right to preach or are you actually a hypocrite who is not really good but is just a coward who does not dare become a bad person like how you would rather be if given that opportunity?

P:S/ I would be sharing with you one video. Take a look.

My Debates

The following are my debates with an ex-Islam. These are just some. I would add on from time to time. There are lots to learn here. I am the one with Blue font: -

Smart word anonymous. If what you says is right, why there are increasing population of infidel conversion into Islam? Why they are the biggest population on the whole world?

How can you prove your first sentence? And speaking of your lost of faith in Islam, only after your research? Is that enough to earn Allah's confidence? Why not try to feel it, to look for truth within it.

Islam is not the mother of all problem, because of what is currently taking place is just what being stated from Al-Quran. You mental-block your brain from thinking out fairly. Are there parts of your life always troubled? I wonder.

It had happen many times of those who murtad are having a bad time in their life. Yea even small things such as unfulfilled prayer. Shah Rukh Khan for example. Please answer.

"Increasing population of infidel conversion into Islam?"
Can you give any list Muslim's convert out of Islam? You can't, because of the fear of life's. But people convert into Islam being a big news, so you are not getting true information and you are been put in the dark.

" Why muslims are the biggest population on the whole world?"
Because Muslim's breed more then non-muslims. This is one of the root cause why Muslim's are one of the biggest poorest population on the whole world!

"How can you prove your first sentence?"
Do you mean like "Muslims will do everything and blame others for they're wrong doing, Typical Muslim's attitude." ???
How about US 9/11 hoax..... thing that claimed by many Muslim's? I am very sure you also believe so!

"And speaking of your lost of faith in Islam, only after your research? Is that enough to earn Allah's confidence? Why not try to feel it, to look for truth within it."
You will loose your faith as well if you have logic mind. But i tell you what, most Muslim's are very simple minded people and can be convinced with stupid logic to make them believe that Islam is only true religion.

"Islam is not the mother of all problem"
Yes ! it is, Muslims have been in wars in the past under the name of Islam many times, and this is one of it. Do you think India and Pakistan are in the hot situation not because of the religion? If you don't think so then you must be "HYPOCRITE".

" because of what is currently taking place is just what being stated from Al-Quran"
Yes !!!! That what i am telling you exactly. Muslims are doing all this because of Al-Quran.

"You mental-block your brain from thinking out fairly. Are there parts of your life always troubled? I wonder."
You are wrong, my mind is crystal clear after knowing the truth. I never hate anyone or any believe system that never preach hate. I used to believe that Islam is only true and perfect religion and other then Muslim's are lost people and I used to have complication with non-muslims. Now my mind is clear .

"It had happen many times of those who murtad are having a bad time in their life."
I have no problem with my life now, But i used to hate the non-muslims for they're ignorant, but now i realize, that i was that ignorant.

"Yea even small things such as unfulfilled prayer. Shah Rukh Khan for example."
I think you are watching too much of Shah Rukh Khan movie, that why! hehehe.....

"Please answer."
Now your turn. You can mail me for private discussions.

Something for you to ponder.
A GOOD PERSON MAY NOT BE A GOOD MUSLIM BUT A GOOD MUSLIM IS ALWAYS A GOOD PERSON

@anonymous

First things first, those are long. I am gonna take time answering.

I shall begin descendingly, ie i have read from a newspaper that Shah Rukh Khan is a murtad. He became a murtad after his prayer to Allah is unfullfilled(his mother is sick) and says something that preassume him to be murtad. Murtad can come in 3 form doing, acting, and thinking, if i am not mistaken.

Next, "It had happen many times of those who murtad are having a bad time in their life." That is why i said many times. Among excuse for Islam leaver is the religion got too many barricade, ie can't do this and that, they also unable to learn any of compulsory deeds in Islam, which left the soul empty. I personally have become lost in such thing as solat till i really practise it 3 years ago. Now i am a good go.

I am kinda confused with this one. That your mind is crystal clear. How was your life now? Ok? No trouble? I have had experience of talking to people who only look at the negative parts of Islam & Al-Quran. They only look for faults and blinds their eyes to truths. I am not linear with you here, i dont think kuffar(infidel) as lost people. Islam teach to preach and practise peace, only after then other measures is actually allowed.

It is not people doing, but rather of a stories of event currently taking place at the world. "Yes !!!! That what i am telling you exactly. Muslims are doing all this because of Al-Quran."

About India-Pakistan conflict, i do agree that religion was one cause. But the tragic incident was caused by extremist, they are not ustaz@Islamic preacher, i mean they are not deeply known to Islamic thoughts. In Nabi Age, war is fought as a matter of defending their faith. They are not the one who launch the war. What do you think of America Invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan?

"How can you prove your first sentence?" There are conspiracy theory at this one that it is Jewish extremis doing. Wallahualam. Truths can not easily be obtained of late.

Muslim are the largest and poorest population, but that don't make Islam as untrue. That one happen because Muslims do not unite, overly proud with their own races(asobiyyah), and stupid politician.

I happen to like the last part. Seem you don't answer my question. But answering yours, i can't because i don't have the data. I would happily give it here if i have. There are many reason why Islam convert to other religion, but for sure Infidel convert to Islam because they were exposed to the truth by Allah s.w.t.? Would you agree a little bit?

For private discussion, you can also reach me at my email. It kinda sounds funny. However your last saying is interesting.

Thank for the reply, mr. V

We forget about Shah Rukh Khan, We discuss generally about troubled people. Do you really think this troubled people only existed in Muslim's society? How about among non-muslims society?? So there is big chances for the troubled non-muslims convert in to Islam! So, you have no right to label those who murtad are having a bad time in their life. Because those convert in to Islam also should have a bad time in their life when they believe other then Islam, am I right? So, troubled people is everywhere, not only in Islam. The non-muslims also find many excuse to leave they're own religion.

Just a solat will not make you a good Muslims. You need to have good heart to be a good human being, as my last saying "A GOOD PERSON MAY NOT BE A GOOD MUSLIM BUT A GOOD MUSLIM IS ALWAYS A GOOD PERSON " If you understand the meaning, you wont argue with me anymore. Good people or bad people are existed in every society, good and evil won't pick any particular religions. So Islam is not special as you think!

You want to know why my mind is crystal clear? OK, I try my best to make you understand, once you understand, you will loose all your stress or trouble in your life. The solution is very simple, question everything, use logic and don't simply satisfy with simple or illogics explanation by anyone. Read more, not only Quran, there is plenty of other books that 100 times better then Quran, don't try to be frog in the well. Do you ever heard about "GOLDEN RULE"? Try to search in the net. This rule alone will do, to make a person became a perfect human being.

At the beginning my mind kills me once I find out that Islam is not what as I was think about. Its took me three year for me to get out of the well that I was in for 38 years. Now I have all the answer for my question and my mind get cleared.

Islam have many positive part, but Islam also have many negative parts, one of the negative is the politic that has within the Islam. Yes Islam is a politic, without politic Islam won't survive. So what we seeing, problem around the world is due to politic within religion. Human died in name of religion is more then the none. So religion don't help the society but caused much problem.

As you said "Islam teach to preach and practice peace", can you give one example or one Islamic country take well care of they're non-muslims minority?? You can't, because there is none. So how do you want me to believe that Islam teach and practice peace?? In every mosque, the Imam preach hate the non-muslims, so how you going to convince me that Islam teach and practice peace??

Talk about the extremist, from where they came from? What makes them to be extremist? The answer is simple, "Islam and the Islamic leader such as Imam, Ulama and Mufti" I searched in wikipedia about Islamic terrorism, see what we can find... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamist_terrorism . Visit few link and you can find those religious leaders involvement.

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Islamic+imam&search_type=&aq=f

See what this cleric say about the extremist.

You said "in Nabi Age, war is fought as a matter of defending their faith." I ask you, why only Islam should be defended? Is that Islam so fragile or very weak? Is that Islam supposed to be only true and perfect from "SUPREME GOD" Allah? Is that Allah should defending his own religion? If He is so powerful and all mighty why weak human being should protect His religion?

Faith is just a believe system, you just believe that God have existed, no one has any prove of God's existence. So why must fight for something that we don't see? If you believe your religion Islam, and the non-muslims got right to believe theirs!

If you believe Nabi has right to defend his religion, what makes you believe that America don't have right to defend they're country? I don't agree much about America invade Iraq but Afghanistan deserved it! And you should know why America invade Afghanistan!


What is the conspiracy theory by Jewish extremis?????? You must be not that stupid to believe the conspiracy theory? Try to engage a debate in forum "faithfreedom.org" then you will know the truth! All the news agencies, TV, NGO, NG, DC, HC and many more NGO's are not stupid people not to know about this conspiracy theory? Only handful attention seeker and Muslim's society claim that conspiracy theory as true.

What makes you to believe that Islam only TRUE religion? And have you wonder why there is no unity only in Muslim's society ? The non-muslims also has they're own races and stupid politician, but they're united, WHY?

Your said "I happen to like the last part." If you know the real meaning, you wont like it anymore.

I did answer all your question, but as usual and as Muslim's you always cant see the truth. What can I say?

If infidel convert to Islam because they were exposed to the truth by Allah, why the Muslim's(murtad) them self can't see the truth by Allah? Is that strange?

If goes by your logic, do you think the non-muslims also have the same reason for leaving and convert in to they're religion?

Your said "However your last saying is interesting." It wont if you find the real meaning!

I email you as well

Regards
Thanks

(sigh)..I admit it. I answer your previous Q in a rush. But this time i am gonna made a few research, think and rethink, for i do not possess enough knowledge to answer.

This time, i am going to answer urs carefully and with clear thought. I hope you wait. I will consider to e-mail you this time for private discussion. It might take 2-3 days, maybe a week.

I have read all your statement. In first para, I agree that bad people exists everywhere and that badness and evil don’t pick religion. For your attention, I do not really label those murtad are ones that had bad time in their life as Muslim, (yeah I do not label), instead I only conclude that is just the major reason why they leave Islam. And the non-muslim find many excuse to leave their religion is a broader argument. First, there are many religion in the world. For example, Chinese and Indian who convert to Islam may not have same excuse, as well as those convert to Christian. And one reason why Chinese convert to Christian, as I have search on the Internet and also talks with several Christian-Chinese friend, is that the religion is more open, for instance, allow man & woman relationship without barricade.

Now move to second para. I also agree that just a solat don’t make someone a good person. You also need a good heart, I also agree. But do you know a solat’s primary objectives? Why they are compulsory-ed by Allah to Muslim? It is to make a person leave all their bad deeds and trying as much as they can to improve Faith to Allah. Prophet Muhamad s.w.t had bersabda; ‘Those Muslim that had done their solat but still not leaving their bad deeds, than it is considered that his solat is imperfect’. I refuse your last sentence because it is rather provocative; it don’t question your doubt towards Islam.

Third para, ok, I had considered your solution. Erm, question everything? Yeah, I had done. Unfortunately, in my life, not everything is questionable. For example, thing like Mukjizat or perhaps so-called translated in English root, Miracles. Can you answer why Nabi Musa was able to divide the ocean and walks under it? Tsunami in Indonesia where all the homes are wiped away and only a mosque left standing? I agree with you that logic must be within mind thought in judging something, but things such as previous can not be answered by logic nor scientific solution, I believe? I had search in Internet, reading mags and paper, and I seen none explanation about those miracles. I have not follow your suggestion in reading other than Quran, but one day I shall. Though, I do come across few verses from other Holy books such as Taurat and Injil in Schism (argument that misuse the verse in Quran that encourage the Believer to do acts of terrorism). You watch the video? One by that Netherland guy, and then it got answered by Arabian guy. In conclusion, there are verses of terrorism in every Holy book, not Quran only. I do not have access of Internet in home, so I go to cc few times per week, but that is money-consuming, considering that I am a student and I need to keep close watch to monetary usage.

Moving on to Fifth para, yes Islam has many positive parts and zero negative parts. The only negative parts are its Believers, yet. And that is a weird thought of you. Islam is a politic? Then can I assume that Jews is a politic too? Israelis government uses lots of political strategies to even puppet-ed the United States. The Islam politics today are different than what are practiced by Nabi Age. Today’s Islamist is corrupted as they shift attention on asobiyah, mazhab, etc instead of Truth from Al-Quran and Hadis.

Islam teaches to preach and practice peace. I believe these. I can not give you an example because you are right, none Islamic country had taken well care of non-Muslim minority. Again, the problem is people. And Imam preach hate to non-Muslim thing, can you give me an example? Islam do not teach hatred of one another, so if you happen to heard one Imam preach hate, that Imam is either wrong or astray! I am going to skip the extremist para because I don’t take a look at your references.
Next, true War on Islam is conditional. If one really practices Islam, they can not just initiate war as easy as ABC. In Islam, yes, war can only be done as last resort of defending one faith or persecution of citizen. And through the understanding of Quran, only side that feasible to be fought is government, army, politician and those involved with the acts of war. Citizen or disinterested party must be put aside. Islam should be defended, but others religion can also protect their faith. We can take one example in Nabi Muhammad age in Hijrah Period. After the musyrikin (infidel) aware of Nabi advance, they make a deal to swap their religion with muslimin, muslim practise infidel religion and vice versa for a period of time (could not remember). However, Nabi refuse the deal because Allah commandment. The infidels are free to practice their own religion. You can refer to Al-Quran, verse 109. It explains all. Islam is not fragile, its believer does. Islam is true and perfect religion because Allah commandment: ‘Only religion that are recognized (By Allah) is Islam’. No, Allah does not defend his own religion because it was the Muslim’s responsibility. You must know that while in Islam; there are lots of verses explaining that. Allah had already plays the portion by His promise that the contents of Al-Quran would not be altered by Infidels & Ahli Kitab.

Faith is to believes, yes, and I also believe Allah existed. My personal life, as exampled. During kiddo time, I had so many questions, almost similar like yours for example previous para. I barely practice Islam’s compulsory demands. Moving on to tertiary education, my lives indulge in lots of crisis. I back to Islam, little by little. Then I ponder upon a saying, ‘Human beings often disappointed religion, but religion had not even a bit disappointed human beings’. Is not the world like that today? Because we leave the religion system, that is why human kind sees a lots of trouble. I believe Allah existed for the signs He shown. Of course nobody had proof of god’s existence visually, but how do you explain strange phenomenon related to Islam such as earthquake leaves Mosque still standing and wiping its surrounding away, on-solat human that got saved from the tsunami’s impact, and a tree doing ruku’(one of solat’s compulsory) and it directly head to Kaabah? Verily Allah had shown the signs of His power, only infidels close their heart-eyes. They refuse because they know the truth in Islam. Allah existence in unquestionable because it is beyond human logic. Allah is All-Knowing and the human knowledge is very little.

Every country has right to defend itself. Yes that is true, only if you are truly oppressed. In the case of Iraq, the America do not just go protect itself, it was looking for oil. Don’t forget that Iraq is second largest oil-producing country in the whole world! And yet they excuse they are looking for WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction). And yeah Mr. Bush, where is the WMD? I would not really say that any country deserves the punishment of Death, since it would definitely involves innocent lives. If you are a human being, you should be aware of this.

I don’t really believe the conspiracy theory, as well as prime media. It is only best that you gather research from the whole world, good guy and bad guy. So you will be out of bias, discrimination and information manipulation. As you suggest, I will go to faithfreedom.org just to see around.




What makes me believe that Islam is the only TRUE religion? Because I had amal, iman and takwa, I had confidence in it. It is the kind of feeling for someone who does not depend on logic alone. It is ok right, I do not even question if the Christian are deeply attached to their religion. Like I told you early, the Muslims are tore-apart because they depend so much secularism, mazhab, asobiyyah(berpuak) and hedonism. They lost their best references ever, Al-Quran and Hadis. Let us take one interesting example. Malay race? They are weak because the basis of struggle is leant on interest of races, instead of Islam. Race and logic struggle only cover their own area, but Islam takes care of all. Looks at our Malaysia already know.

Ok, I have answered your entire question too. Hey, I agreed at certain extent right? I try my best to base my answer at the ideology of Truth. And how do you know that I can not see the truth? If you can say that, I also can say you will never see the truth, because you blind your heart to see only negativity into Islam image. It is like you are a pure infidel skeptic.

‘If infidel convert to Islam because they were exposed to the truth by Allah, why the Muslim's(murtad) them self can't see the truth by Allah? Is that strange?’ Ok let’s move to this one. Strange thing exists, don’t they? If there is a best answer, I would say because they do not practice Islam with an honest heart. This one has step into Allah’s power (Asmaul Husna). Remember? In Quran, there are sentence stating that Allah can give Truth to whoever He like. Thus, the relationship between Allah and human are supervisor – subordinate, something like this. The Muslim is here on Earth merely to serve Him by being a Khalifah (Wakil) to preach on Allah’s religion. Next: ‘If goes by your logic, do you think the non-muslims also have the same reason for leaving and convert in to they're religion?’ I really think you should interview one of the non-muslim converting into Islam. Ask them the reason. For a reason, they might be better compared to is you asking the Islam-born.

Finally, I would define “GOOD PERSON MAY NOT BE A GOOD MUSLIM BUT A GOOD MUSLIM IS ALWAYS A GOOD PERSON". You think goodness does not come from a religion. Good muslim maybe not exist. All it takes to be a good person is to have good heart. Religion is none of a factor. To some extent, this saying is true. And yeah, I don’t like it and it is not interesting. A good-hearted person will be so much more good if they learn the peace that Islam bring. However, I disagree on overall connotation. Religion is like a bonus to a good-hearted person.

Peace be Upon You,
Thanks.

The Muslim's Crisis of Identity

Prelude – An Inspiration of Disappointment Pour-Out

Assalamualaikum. As titled above, one can pre-suggest what I am about to wrote. It might be as exemplified by Dr. Mahathir – The Malay Dilemma. Only difference is I will touch on the failure of Muslim, as I am particularly very saddened and disappointed with the circumstances cornering Muslim all around the world in the societal and individual manner. In this prelude, I will highlight two major inspirations as of my purpose of typing this article: -

1) Reading the 2^nd book of Syed Akbar Ali, titled Malaysia & The Club of Doom*. The star symbol means The Collapse of Islamic Countries. He shed many lights in discovering Failed State of Islamic Countries, as well as Malaysia.

2) My recent debate with an ex-Muslim, who then introduces me to this site, Faith Freedom International. You can access the site with following address; www.faithfreedom.org. Our arguments refresh me with the problems, sickness and hatred from Non-Muslim toward Muslim Nations. Notwithstanding the fact that Muslims are troublesome ummah, The Quran and deen of Islam are not to be blamed.

Therefore, we can shift to major purpose of this article. I am doing this for awareness of my fellow Muslim regardless of geographical location, the needs to fix Islam image. This is also a result of pent-up disappointment towards Muslim behavior despite there are obvious, foolproof references ever, the Al-Quran. Despite the many criticism & resentment falls over Muslim, we are unchanging of our fate. Before we move into 2^nd chapter, I need to make clear of something; the facts & figures in this article will be primarily based on the Syed Akbar Ali book, others would be derived from Internet. I will also include my personal observation.

Malaysia – The Closest for Good Example of Failed Muslims

Now we are talking. Even though Malaysia is declared Islamic country, I do not personally believe so. My reason, the constitutional law is adapted from British common law. Furthermore, the Democratic systems are not cited anywhere in the Al-Quran. I think the declaration of Malaysia as Islamic Country is just a cheap joke, ill-augured politically-motivated as to gain certain masses support. I think the idea is oblivion. How can a country yell it is Islamic country when it seconded the Al-Quran? The Syariah law that is based on Al-Quran, Hadith, Ijma’(consensus) & Qias(analogy) are underrated. To give some surprise, in December 2005, Govt. sponsored and passed a new law called Islamic Family Law Bill, in which some section are copied from the British law-based Marriage and Divorce Act. Don’t believe me? Here is the evidence. Section 58 of the Islamic Family Law is a duplicate of Section 76 of Law Reform (Marriage & Divorce) Act 1976 (Act 164) & Rules.

Firstly here, Section 76 from British law:

Section 76. Power of Court to order division of matrimonial assets.

(1) The court shall have power, when granting a decree of divorce or judicial separation, to order the division

between the parties of any assets acquired by them during the marriage by their joint efforts or the sale of any such assets and the division between the parties of the proceeds of sale.

And here our Islamic Family Law:

Section 58. Power of Court to order division of harta sepencarian.

(1) The court shall have power, when granting a pronouncement of talaq or when making an order of divorce, to order the division between the parties of any assets acquired by them during the marriage by their joint efforts or the sale of any such assets and the division between the parties of the proceeds of sale.

If you notice, only minor changes are made like using the Arabic word talaq instead of ‘divorce’ or the Malay word harta sepencarian instead of ‘matrimonial assets. Million of Malaysia’s Muslims are duped into thinking Islamic Family Law as rightful and super duper when it was actually erroneous. The point is, why create purported religious laws by borrowing from laws which are deemed to be Christian laws? It is ironical that after all the fuss the same Western law had been adopted to help create two separate legal systems. This serve as our first Failed Muslims case.

Muslims in Malaysia are often seen as lazy, poor, stupid, doing trivial stuff, etc. So much negativity, so much hatred is thrown at us. Now, why is this? We have Islam, the deen of perfect life, so why we failed? The answer is easy, because we do not read & do not understand the Quran very well. In fact, this answer is mother answer to all problems faced by Muslims. Let me take one example. Quran has urged that non-muhrim of man and woman not to be together in secluded place. Why? Because when man & woman in secluded area together, there is no knowing what will happen next. Driven by desire (nafsu), temptation from third party (devil, demon) or whatever you call it, chances, who know what is happen next? But the youth disregard it, so of late we see an increasing amount of sexual assault, the catch of young couple berkhalwat, the mass distribution of video of previously said case, involving a majority of Muslim people. According to some statistics, from 2000 to 2005, there are 100% increases in adultery case! When Allah actually makes our life easy, we underestimated it. From surah Taha, Allah did mention that Al-Quran is not to cause any hardship: “We did not reveal this Quran to cause you any hardship” 20:2.

Not only religion naivety curses those of Muslim youth, but also at levels of politician and elderly. For example, in the case of Saiful – Anwar sodomy, there are no mentioning that the accuser doing the swearing in Al-Quran, it suppose to be the accused to do the swearing to defend himselves. In that swearing, Saiful make 2 major mistakes, the mispronunciation of Watallahi and admit wrong date (Aug 26 before correct it to Jun 26). It looks like Allah will clearly show who is the false when you play with His religion. Saiful is a munafiq (a concept given to those who ostendingly admit to know about religion). Is that now we can see that there is nothing happening to both party? Because there is fallacy, so nothing happen. Following the incident, the swearing become quickly famous, and the prominent political leader also followed it to stave off accusation thrown at them. The Minister of Defence, Najib also do it. Little did he know that in other way, he was actually shows off his naivety concerning Islam knowledge! Here is reference from Al-Quran telling these munafik:

[63.2] They made their swearing (or admittance) as a shield (to save their life and wealth from being killed or seized), hence they barricade (thyself and others) from follow the correct Path of Allah.

Our ummah is also dirty and unclean. We made comparison with South Korean. The Quran talks about ‘aamilus solihaat’ or righteous works. The South Koreans have established a cycle of aamilus solihaat. These must be preceded by a willingness on the part of the people to cooperate and help each other. They must agree to abide by so called secular laws which say that no rubbish must be thrown into the rivers. They have inculcated a good value system which teaches the majority of their population to wash their hands after using the toilet. They must have disciplined Civil Servants whose duty is to implement those laws fairly and efficiently. Unfortunately this circle of aamilus solihaat has so far eluded the Islamic countries. One cannot avoid noticing that most Muslim countries are still dirty and unhygienic, including Malaysia. Its public toilets are filly. If one can spent their time at toilet and observe, many highly educated Muslim will walk out without washing their hands.

As the last example, some religious folks came out with the idea to arrest and jail people who have deviated from their religion. When they get strange ideas like this, it will invariably involve money. This idea created opportunities to award multi mullion Ringgit contracts to lucky religious folks to build a Pusat Pemilhan Akidah or Faith Rehabilitation Centre to reform the so called religious deviants whom they were going to arrest. So they built one at Jelebu in Negeri Sembilan. Then they found out that because religion is a state matter in Malaysia, involving state legislation under the respective Sultans – they could not move ‘deviants’ freely across state boundaries. For example you can’t arrest a deviant in Selangor & jailed him in Jelebu. The end result was that the Faith Rehabilitation Centre in Jelebu fell into disuse and disrepair. The chair, tables and electrical fittings were stolen or ‘went missing’. This is stupidity. The Quran allows freedom of belief. The Federal Constitution also guarantees freedom of religion. Why arrest anyone for being a deviant? To sum it all in one word, the Islamic countries often embark on really useless religious escapades, waste money in the process, get themselves tied into knots and then spend even more money sorting out the mess.

The Failed State – The Definitions and Characteristics

Failed State has various definitions. This is one or two I derive from the book. “A state if failing when its government is losing physical control of its territory or lacks a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Other symptoms include the erosion of authority to make collective decisions, an inability to provide reasonable public services, and the loss of the capacity to interact with the international community”. Another definition says a State is failing when there is “extensive corruption and criminal behavior, inability to collect taxes or otherwise draw on citizen support, large-scale involuntary dislocation of the population, sharp economic decline, group-based inequality, and institutionalized persecution or discrimination. Below are twelve characteristics of Failed State:

1. Mounting Demographic Pressures
2. Massive Movement of Refugees and Displaced Persons
3. Legacy of Vengeance – Seeking Group Grievance
4. Chronic and Sustained Human Flight
5. Uneven Economic Development along Group Lines
6. Sharp and/or Severe Economic Decline
7. Criminalization or Delegimitization of the State
8. Progressive Deterioration of Public Services
9. Widespread Violation of Human Rights
10. Security Apparatus as “State within a State”
11. Rise of Factionalized Elites
12. Intervention of Other States or External Actors

Malaysia, if not all of the above-listed characteristics, possess most of the factors such as no. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 (in Perak?), 8, 9. Malaysia also had following failure: Restrictions on the free flow of information, the subjugation of women, a low valuation of education, and inability to accept responsibility for individual or collective failure.

This will be my last paragraph. So I am going to include my personal observation:

1. It’s laughable matter when you indulge deeply in Quran knowledge, just to find out that there are so many fallacy, so many deviant and naïve out there. For example, Muslimah wear of tudung. The wear of tudung is compulsory-imposed by Allah to woman: Following are verse from Al-Quran and Hadith from Prophet Muhammad:

a) [33.59] Wahai Nabi, suruhlah isteri-isterimu dan anak-anak perempuanmu serta perempuan-perempuan yang beriman, supaya melabuhkan pakaiannya bagi menutup seluruh tubuhnya (semasa mereka keluar); cara yang demikian lebih sesuai untuk mereka dikenal (sebagai perempuan yang baik-baik) maka dengan itu mereka tidak diganggu. Dan (ingatlah) Allah adalah Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani.

b) Rasulullah bersabda: “Bahawa anak perempuan apabila cukup umurnya, maka mereka tidak boleh dilihat akan dia, melainkan mukanya dan dua tapak tangannya hinnga pergelangan. (H.R. Abu Daud)

c) [24.31] Dan katakanlah kepada perempuan-perempuan yang beriman supaya menyekat pandangan mereka (daripada memandang yang haram), dan memelihara kehormatan mereka; dan janganlah mereka memperlihatkan perhiasan tubuh mereka kecuali yang zahir daripadanya; dan hendaklah mereka menutup belahan leher bajunya dengan tudung kepala mereka; dan janganlah mereka memperlihatkan perhiasan tubuh mereka melainkan kepada suami mereka, atau bapa mereka atau bapa mertua mereka atau anak-anak mereka, atau anak-anak tiri mereka, atau saudara-saudara mereka, atau anak bagi saudara-saudara mereka yang lelaki, atau anak bagi saudara-saudara mereka yang perempuan, atau perempuan-perempuan Islam, atau hamba-hamba mereka, atau orang gaji dari orang-orang lelaki yang telah tua dan tidak berkeinginan kepada perempuan, atau kanak-kanak yang belum mengerti lagi tentang aurat perempuan; dan janganlah mereka menghentakkan kaki untuk diketahui orang akan apa yang tersembunyi dari perhiasan mereka; dan bertaubatlah kamu sekalian kepada Allah, wahai orang-orang yang beriman, supaya kamu berjaya.

From this reference above, we can conclude that the real, approved wear of tudung must close everything, except for face and hand to wrist. But, how of Muslimah malaysia attire? That is why Muhammad says this: Sesungguhnya sebilangan ahli neraka adalah perempuan yang berpakaian, tetapi telanjang yang condong pada maksiat dan menarik orang lain untuk melakukan maksiat. Mereka tidak akan masuk syurga dan tidak akan mencium baunya. (Hadis riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim), I aware that this article would welcome many pleasant and unpleasant comment. The unpleasant would be ‘ingat dia bagus sangat ke’, ‘mesti dia pun ada buat salah juga’. However, you need to remember that Quran urge people to wipe away bad assumption. Read my thought with logic alone, throw away all the prejudice. Only certain prophet are maksum (protected from sin), but at least, we need to be sincere with ourselves. With this, I try to make my llife & yours better.

As a conclusion, thanks your for reading my article. Do what you can to rejuvenate Islam image. See example from Nabi’s victorious age. Every single thing you know about Islam & Al-Quran would greatly helps. Islam & Al-Quran are not to blamed for gloomy, failed Muslim life. Again, Jazakallahu Khairan.

Surah Al-Munafiquun, Sumpah Saiful & Sifat Orang Munafik

[63.1] Apabila orang-orang munafik datang kepadamu (wahai Muhammad), mereka berkata
:"Kami mengakui bahawa sesungguhnya engkau - sebenar-benarnya Rasul Allah". Dan Allah
sememangnya mengetahui bahawa engkau ialah RasulNya, serta Allah menyaksikan bahawa
sesungguhnya pengakuan mereka adalah dusta.

[63.2] Mereka menjadikan sumpahnya (atau akuannya) sebagai perisai (untuk menyelamatkan
dirinya dan harta bendanya daripada dibunuh atau dirampas), lalu mereka menghalang
(dirinya dan orang lain) dari menurut jalan Allah. Sesungguhnya amatlah buruk apa yang
mereka telah kerjakan.

[63.3] (Perbuatan buruk) yang demikian kerana mereka mengaku beriman (di hadapan
orang-orang Islam) kemudian mereka tetap kafir sesama sendiri, maka dengan sebab itu
dimeteraikan atas hati mereka; lalu mereka tidak dapat memahami (yang mana benar dan yang
mana salah).

Sudahkan anda baca surah di atas & lihat perkembangan di negara kita? Di mana
rentetan sumpah laknat telah dilakukan? Di sini, saya cuba kaitkan bahawa Al-Quran ini sangat,
hebat kerana dapat menilai perangai manusia.

Cuba lihat rakaman sumpah Saiful. Kalau benar dia bersumpah kerana dia telah diliwat,
satu perbuatan yang sangat memalukan penuduh & mangsa, kenapa dia terketar-ketar? Kenapa
tergagap-gagap dan tersilap cakap sampai dua tiga kali?

Lihatlah sifat org munafik ini. Nak ucap 'Wallahi, Wabillahi, Watallahi' pun x dapat.
Allah pun sudah terangkan. Jangan main-mainkan agama, kerana Allah akan membalas.

P/s: Munafik bermaksud berpura-pura tahu tentang agama.
