The deviant members of Umno, who were not satisfied with the way Umno works, originally set up Pas. They went out of Umno and set up a new party by the name of Pas. The founding members of Pas were not satisfied with Umno and set up a new party with the vision and mission, to set up a country that will uphold the laws of Allah. In other words, the founding members of Pas were consisting of young Muslims who want a country that uphold the laws of Allah, but were not sure on the ways to achieve the visions. The founding members of Pas were the same as the founding members of Umno. They were the same but were only different in their emotion about Islam. Pas members are more emotional about Islam than Umno members but they are the same. Both Pas and Umno members are Muslims with different emotion about Islam. Having different emotion about Islam does not make a person to become a better Muslim than the others. Muslims, who are more emotional about Islam, usually wear Muslims attires and talk loudly and openly about Islam. They talks loudly about Islam but in practice, both the Muslims with high and low emotion about Islam are the same. Both the actions of the members of Pas and Umno are the same and they only differ in their attires. Umno members usually wear Baju Melayu with songkok or western dress but Pas members wear attires similar to the Arabs. What a person wears does not indicates what is in his or her heart. What a person does indicates what is in their heart. Allah looks at a person heart and his or her actions and not what a person wears or talks. In my opinion, both the heart and the actions of the members of Pas and Umno are the same. Pas members only appear outwardly to be Islamic than Umno members are. Allah measures men according to what is in their heart and what their actions are.
Pas members are trying to set up a country that upholds the orders of Allah. The first order of Allah that Pas will uphold in case Pas is ruling Malaysia is to uphold the Laws of Hudud. Once upon a time, Pas members and their leaders were so vocal on the idea of establishing the laws of Hudud in Malaysia and that happen at a time when they were not having even a state to rules. After they have the state of Kelantan to rule in 1990, only then Pas leaders and their members knows and realized that it is not easy to establish Hudud Laws even in the state so call as Serambi Makah. Pas knows that Muslims in Kelantan are not ready to accept the Laws of Hudud. To establish the Laws of Hudud laws will only welcome trouble to Pas. Pas leaders had now realized that it is not easy to established Hudud Laws in Kelantan. In order to cover their own shortcoming and lack of understanding in establishing the laws, Pas keep pointing their finger to the Federal Government, which at that time was control by Umno. No one wants to admit their mistake, and so do Pas members and their leaders. It is unlikely that the Federal Government stops them from establishing the Laws of Hudud in Kelantan but Pas is the one who were reluctant to do so. In my opinion, what are in the hearts of Pas leaders is the same as what are in the hearts of Umno leaders. Both of them only want power and not so keen to establish the orders of Allah. Do Pas genuinely want to establish the orders of Allah? Pas is like Umno, both of them only want power. Pas members say they want power so that they can establish the orders of Allah and the first order of Allah they want to established is the Hudud Laws. After having power to rule Kelantan for more than two decades, the Laws of Hudud that Pas want to uphold is still in file. Now Pas is saying that they will only uphold the Laws of Hudud only if they are given power by the peoples to rule Malaysia. Can we trust Pas leaders that they will uphold the orders of Allah in Malaysia when they are in power or they will be same as Umno. Pas is not sincere in their promises. Pas is not to be trusted .They will never be able to uphold the laws of Allah in Malaysia when they are in power. Pas want Islam in their speeches but not in their actions. What are the action plans of Pas to make Malaysia a country that will uphold the orders of Allah, once they are in power? Pas has no action plans and surely, there will never be any actions taken by Pas to make Malaysia that will uphold the orders of Allah. It is only mere talks and the poor and illiterate yet emotional Muslims will become the supporter of Pas. In order to deceive the poor, non-educated yet emotional Muslims, Pas leaders wear Muslims attires and talk loudly about establishing the Laws of Hudud.
Umno leaders want to have power in order to eradicate poverty among Malays who are in general are all Muslims. Umno leaders want power so that this country will remain forever belongs to the Malays, the right owner of this land, Ketuanan Melayu. Umno aims in upholding the supremacy of the Malays, and are not pretending like Pas to establish the orders of Allah in Malaysia. Umno leaders and members are not emotional about Islam but they are more emotional about the Malay race and the survival of the Malays. Umno leaders argue that to uphold the supremacy of the Malays is to uphold the supremacy of Islam, as all Malays are Muslims. Pas in the other hand has a correct mission and vision but has no actions plans to materialize the vision and mission-to upholds the orders of Allah. Pas has neither the actions plans to uphold the orders of Allah and no action plans to uphold the supremacy of the Malays. With Pas, the Malays will lose both the supremacy of Islam and the supremacy of the Malays. Now as we see it, in order to gain power, Pas is willing to torn down the slogan of Negara Islam and is willing to have collaboration with DAP and PKR, the two parties that are against the establishments of the orders of Allah in Malaysia. What the Pas leaders have said previously, that their vision and mission is to establish the orders of Allah in Malaysia are only slogans and talks to deceive the poor, illiterate yet highly emotional Muslims? The movements of the world Tarikat group CLICK or Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia has helps to increase the number of emotional Muslims in Malaysia, and thus help Pas to spread its influences and wins power. As the world Tarikat group spread its influence in Malaysia, Pas rather than Umno will have the advantage.
Umno has the vision and mission that Malays are forever in power in Malaysia and Umno has no slightest inclination toward upholding the orders of Allah in Malaysia. Other than making so many beautiful mosques in Malaysia, Umno hasn’t done so much effort to uphold the orders of Allah in Malaysia. Umno in principles is similar to all political parties in the world except it is a racial base party. All political parties in Malaysia except Pas and PKR are a racial base party and this entire racial base party join together to form Barisan National. All politicians in Malaysia are racists and the party base on race works well in Malaysia, as all peoples in Malaysia are racists. Racism is natural and all peoples are racist, unless people have strong faith or iman towards Allah. Allah will not installed strong Iman or faith towards Allah into the peoples heart unless everyone in Malaysia enter Islam and do the work of the Prophet saw. As it is now, the most suitable system to practice in Malaysia is racial base democracy. In case Pas really wants to uphold the orders of Allah in Malaysia, it is not by establishing political party with only names and colours of Islam but all Pas members must do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw CLICK. Orders of Allah cannot be established via political movements but via the work of Prophet Muhammad saw, through the ways Prophet Muhammad saw and with sacrifices as that had been done by the Prophet saw and his companions. When we want to establish the orders of Allah, via political movements, it is a mere waste of energy and time. No Prophets as well as our Prophets have never established political parties like what Pas is doing to establish the orders of Allah. Never in history, does Allah make the orders of Allah to be alive via political parties. Pas leaders and members are only dreaming to establish the orders of Allah via political party. It will never happen even for thousands of years. Allah has made the orders of Allah to be alive only via the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and nothing else. When men disobeyed Allah, Allah sent Prophets and all these Prophets did the work of Prophet CLICK and not involving themselves like Tuan Guru Nik Aziz and all the Pas members do in political parties. Tuan Guru Nik Aziz should stop telling the public that Umno are against the effort of establishing the orders of Allah and they are Jahilliah. Umno leaders and members are telling the truth and they are telling the people what they can do. Umno knows that the orders of Allah will not be made alive via Umno but via the true work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Tabligh groupCLICK claim they are doing the work of Prophet but they are not and Pas claim Islam will be alive via political parties and it is a mere lie.
