Dr T S SURENDRAN ON STRABISMUS~JULING

In Malaysia we may find some people with a squint eyes or strabismus. What is strabismus or squint eye? In Bahasa Malaysia strabismus or squint is call as mata juling.A person is said to have a squint eye when one of the two eyes is not directing to the same point as the other eye. In other word there is no similar focus point for both eyes. Because there is no similar focus point, the images receive by both of the eyes cannot be superimpose in the brain. Instead of the brain receiving the same images of the same objects and to be superimposed in the brain, the brain is now receiving two images of the different object which cannot be superimpose by the brain. In eyes with squint or strabismus, the brain is receiving two images of the different object which cannot be superimposed. When our brain cannot superimpose the two images view by the two eyes, our brain will take the drastic action of suppressing one of the images. Usually our brain wills supressed the retinal image of the lower quality. Our brain need to have two retinal images of the same object to be superimposed in order to have depth perception. Without two retinal images of the same object being superimpose on top of each other, no depth perception is possible. In other words, a person who has a squint or strabismus will not have a depth perception. A person with a squint may be able to see with a 6/6 vision but without any depth perception. What is the advantage of having a depth perception? With a depth perception a person is able to judge the size of an object more accurately. A driver with no depth perception will not be able to judge how far, he is driving from the car in front of him. A surgeon with no depth perception will not be able to accurately judge how far the tissues are from him. In other words, a person with a squint or strabismus will not have a depth perception and they will not become a good driver, pilot or a surgeon.

We are seeing with our brain and not with our eyes. Our eyes are only the mean upon which the rays of light enter our eyes and reaching to the back of the eyes known as retina. When the light rays touch the retina, the rays will be converted into action potentials (energy waves) which travel via the neurones to the visual cortex of the brain. Our brain will interpret the waves of the action potentials and converted the waves into pictures of three dimensions and with colours .Our brains have the ability to interpret the various waves that reach the visual cortex into pictures in splits of seconds. When the visual cortex is damaged, we will not be able to see although we may have two very beautiful eyes. Our most common causes of blind are not due to the damage of the visual cortex but due to the inability of the light rays to reach the retina due to the opacity in the crystalline lens known as cataract. With simple operation, the opaque crystalline lens or cataract can be removed and the blind men can resume a normal sight. Strabismus or squint will not lead to blindness.it is not related to diseases of the eyes but it is related to the function of the eyes when the eyes are used binocularly. With only one eye one can see the world and one can function normally as other peoples without a squint or strabismus. A person with only one eye can function quite normally as peoples with two eyes. Having two eyes is the same as having two kidneys. A person with only one kidney can function quite normally as a person with two kidneys. Since kidneys are organs to eliminate toxin from the blood, the only different is the kidney of a person with only one kidney will have to work harder than the kidneys of those who have two kidneys. On the other hand, eyes are organs that enable us to see the world and it is an important organ to the body. Allah has given us two eyes. With only one eyes we can see the world but with two eyes we can see the world with stereoscopic vision. A stereoscopic vision means we can see the world in three dimensions. We can see the depth of the things that we see, which we cannot see with only one eye. With stereoscopic vision, we can judge distances and we can have perspective in our vision. With both eyes available to a person, he or she can see the world to be more beautiful than a person with only one eye. On addition to that a person with two eyes is more cosmetically presentable than a person with a squinting eye

A child born with a squint if not treated early will have squint for the rest of his or her lifes. Squint in a laymen term can be defined as both of the eyes have no alignment with each other’s. A car is not aligned when the four tyres of the car are not well aligned. A car with the two tyres either front or the rear tyres are not well aligned will not move forward in the straight direction but will continue to deviate in either direction. The eye which is squinting will not focus on the objects of focus but it will focus on other objects. In other word, one eye is focusing on one object and the other eye is focusing on another object .In normal eyes without squint or strabismus, both eyes will be focusing on the same object of focus at any particular times. In normal eyes without squint at any particular times, the brain is seeing two images of only one object but in squinting eyes, at any particular times, the brain is seeing the images of two different objects. When the brain is seeing two different images, the brain will have difficulty in superimposing the images and the person will have double vision. A person with a symptom of double vision is said to have a squint or strabismus. Whenever a person reported to have a double vision, it indicates that person has acquired a squint or strabismus. Whenever the two eyes are not aligned, our vision will become double. Whenever a person has a double vision often he or she will also has a headache. Whenever one eye is closed the double vision will disappears and headache will also subsides. An acquired squint can be associated with systemic diseases such as diabetic, hypertension. Often when the diabetic or hypertension is treated the squint also disappears.

Some children are born with a squint and this squint is often due to the malformation of one of the six ocular muscles surrounding the eyes. Surgery must be performed to correct the muscles of the eyes before the child attain the age of five or six years old. According to vision scientist, eyes are part of our brain and our brain attains maturity at the age of six. Similarly our eyes attain its maturity at the age of six. Vision scientists call the period before the age of six as the plastic state of the brain and because the brain is in the plastic state, the brain can still be modified or changed to whatever forms we want. After the age of six, our brain is no longer plastic, which means our brain can no longer be modified or changed to the forms that we want. In other words, after the age of six our brain has become hardened. If a child is born with a squint or strabismus is to attain a normal binocular vision, that squint or strabismus of the child must be operated before the age of six. Any squint operation done after the age of six may not enable the child to have a normal binocular vision as those with two normal eyes. Squint operation after the age of six may resolve the squint problem but it does not resolve the binocular vision problem. Cosmetically the child may no longer  having the squint but vision wise the child will not have stereoscopic or binocular vision. In case we want our child with a squint to attain good binocular vision and cosmetically sound, we must make our child to have squint operation before the age of six.

Besides the manifest squint or strabismus, there are also conditions known as latent squint or phoria. Latent squints are the squints that are normally hidden or not visible under normal situation but it becomes manifest under stress conditions. The symptoms of latent squint are often transient blur and headache. Manifest squint can be treated by surgery done by ophthalmologists specialising in squint surgery. Latent squint probably can be treated using eyes exercises, correcting refractive errors or by mild prismatic correction. Squint and latent squint can only be detected and diagnosed by optometrists and ophthalmologists. Opticion are not trained to detect and diagnose these problems of the eyes. While squint surgery can only be done by the ophthalmic surgeons, other treatment of squint eyes can be done by an optometrist. Although there are many ophthalmologists but very few of them are specialising in squint or strabismus surgery.

Dr T S Surendran is one of the few ophthalmologists who are specialising in squint surgery. He is currently working as an ophthalmic surgeon, in the best eye hospital in India, known as Sankara Nethralaya Chennai India. He is the Vice Chairman of Sankara Nethralaya and the President of Strabismological Society of India. He is a well-known figure in Paediatric Ophthalmology in Asian –Pacific region.

BUAT APA YANG KITA TAHU DAN SAMPAIKAN

This is the golden rule to those who want to excel in life. Many people who like to learn and they also like to hear and to preach to others but they do not like to practice whatever they know or preach to others. At the end of the day, many people will regard them as being knowledgeable but their practices will not be of the level of knowledge that they have. Many of us like to know more and more and we learn in order to know more. Many of us have the belief that when we know more, our life in this world and the hereafter will be successful. Many among us have devoted almost the whole lifetime to learn about Islam. Do we ever think about fulfilling the right of the knowledge that we had possessed. Everything has its right and similarly knowledge also has its right. The right of knowledge is to practice it. When we practice whatever knowledge that we have, we have to fulfil the right of the knowledge. When we have fulfilled the right of knowledge, Allah will gives us the understanding of the knowledge. Until and unless we fulfil the right of the knowledge, we will not have the understanding of the knowledge. We think, with more knowledge about Islam we will become more Islamic and we will have better citizen. We open and built more schools teaching Islamic studies and reading of Quran and we make it compulsory for everyone to learn Islamic studies and moral up to the university levels. However when we look around at the standard of behaviours of our people, we cannot see the outcomes of studying Islamic or moral studies. Why is this so? The reason being why we are not advancing in our behaviours is because we are not practising whatever we know and preach to others. We are contented with knowing and preaching to others but we are not worried about practising whatever we know or preach to others. Contented with only knowing and preaching to others what we know has become our bad habits. This very bad habit has leaded us to our disaster and catastrophe. Continue reading

8 OUTCOMES OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION

What are the outcomes of our Islamic education? What we want out of the Islamic education that we have given to our children. Until now we do not have an outcome base education on the Islamic education that we have imparted to our children. We do not have outcome base Islamic education in our schools. Our teachers only transfer the Islamic education to our children without taking into account the outcomes of the education. We do not know what we want out of the Islamic education that we have given to our children. Islamic educators are not focussing on the outcomes of Islamic education and as a result we do not have muslims with real qualities as muslim in Malaysia. When we are teaching Islamic education without outcomes base in our mind, actually we are wasting our time and the time of our children. What is the purpose of Islamic education? Do we have objectives in our Islamic education? In my opinion the objective of Islamic education is to produce good muslim man and women with qualities desired by Allah. In my opinion we should have eight qualities to be our outcomes in our Islamic education. The eight qualities are Iman or correct belief on there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah,Ilmu or knowledge, Hikmah or wisdom, Ihsan or constantly realising the presence of Allah, Ihtisab or believing in the promises of Allah, Ikhlas  or sincerity , Akhlak or good character, Mujahadah  or ability to perform sacrifice in the path of Allah to spread Deen. The outcome of our Islamic education should be the attainment of the eight qualities as mentioned above. With the eight qualities, a person will have correct belief or Iman and correct actions orAmal Soleh. Hence make a person known as a muslim. The outcome of our Islamic education is to produce a muslim with qualities loved by Allah.  Continue reading

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 20

HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

The basis of the truth is the Quran and the Sunnah. What is the Quran? The Quran is the words of Allah and what is the Sunnah? The Sunnah is the actions of Prophet Muhammad saw which explain the Quran. In other words both the Quran and the Sunnah are the same. One is the words and the other one is the actions and therefore the basis of truth is the Quran and the Sunnah. The Prophet Muhammad saw said to his umat prior to his death, he has leave them with two things and if they hold fast to these two things they will never be deviated forever by the devil syaitan. In order to understand the Quran, Muslims must look at the Sunnah, which means the Muslims must look at the actions of the Prophet Muhammad saw and not to have ilmu, knowledge or Arabic language. According to Muslims scholars a person need to have fifth teen (15) fields of knowledge in order to understand the Quran. In other words, what our Muslims scholars are trying to tell to the Muslims that only the Muslims scholars understand the Quran and that Muslims will not understand the Quran unless they follow the Muslims scholars blindly? This is the way on how the Iblis and syaitan are deceiving the Muslims scholars into the belief that the one who give a person the understanding of the Quran is their knowledge and not Allah. The truth is there is no one who can give a person the understanding of the Quran except Allah.  Allah gives the understanding of the Quran to whom He loves. Who are the persons whom Allah loves? The person whom Allah loves is the believers. The Muslims scholars who are not believers are easily deceived by the devil syaitan. Iblis and syaitan are trying to promote the position of the Muslims scholars to be the same as the Prophet Muhammad saw. When our Muslims scholars are not believers they do not love Allah but they want to have the respect and the love of the Muslims. When our Muslims scholars are not believers they love to be uplifted to the same level as Prophet Muhammad saw and in this way they will be able to obtain the respect and honour from the Muslims.

In order to look pious to others, many Muslims like to practice all the small practices of the Prophet Muhammad saw. They are not sincere in practicing the small practices of Prophet Muhammad saw because they tend to avoid practicing the great practices of the Prophet Muhammad saw. What is the great practice of the Prophet Muhammad saw? The great practice or Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw is to invite the mankind to good and preventing the mankind from evils. Without practicing the great Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw Muslims will not become believers and Muslims will not have sincerity in all of their actions. Many Muslims women are covering their faces from the public and many women think the practice of covering their faces is obligatory. In the Quran, Allah orders the Muslims women to cover their head including their hairs and to cover their chest and with the intention to please Allah. I have not seen any verses of the Quran that order the Muslims women to cover their faces but they are so many women particularly in Jemaah Tabligh who cover their faces as if Allah orders the Muslims women to cover their faces. Many Muslims women in those countries such as India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia are covering their faces. What is the Hukum of covering of the faces of the women? Why the order to cover the faces of the women is not clear in the Quran? In case the covering of faces for women is fardu or obligatory then the order must be mentioned clearly in the Quran.

In Saudi Arabia the Muslims scholars make the fatwa that the wearing of spectacles are meant only for men and to drive cars are the activities related only to men. Muslims scholars in Saudi Arabia prohibit women to wear spectacles and to drive cars. In Muslims countries where males are dominating the women, the women in those countries are mainly regarded as the second class citizen and women are regarded good only for fulfilling the sexual desires of men. I have the doubt that the order for women to cover their faces come from the Quran. I believe that the order for women to cover their faces come from the Muslims scholars and not from the Quran. Muslims scholars in Afghanistan under the rules of the Taliban prohibit the women from working outside their houses and Muslims scholars in those countries believe that women are to remain within the four walls of their houses only. Is the order to prevent women from working outside their houses come from the Quran or it comes from the Muslims scholars? When our Muslims scholars are not believers they are easily deceived by the Iblis and syaitan. Iblis and syaitan uses our Muslims scholars to deviate Muslims from obeying the order of Allah correctly. The order for women to cover their faces which are not even obligatory or sunnat has been made obligatory by the Muslims scholars.

Sunnah is the actions of the Prophet Muhammad saw and Sunnah is to explain about the Quran which are the words of Allah. Allah gives the understanding of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad saw and among the whole men the person who really understands the Quran is the Prophet Muhammad saw. When Muslims are following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw the Muslims are following the Quran. When Muslims are not following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw the Muslims are not following the Quran. Sunnah is the actions of Prophet Muhammad saw. Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw is not the houses, vehicles, or clothes of the Prophet Muhammad saw but the actions of Prophet Muhammad saw. Many Muslims do not understand the meaning of Sunnah. When the Prophet Muhammad saw was riding a horse, the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw is the act of riding the horse and not the horse is Sunnah. When Prophet Muhammad saw was eating bread, the Sunnah is the action of eating of Prophet Muhammad saw and not the bread. When Prophet Muhammad saw was wearing a Jubah and a turban, the Sunnah is the actions of wearing the Jubah and the turban and not the Jubah and the turban are Sunnah. Many Muslims believe that to ride the horses is Sunnah and instead of driving the car, they want to ride the horses. Sunnah is the actions of the Prophet Muhammad saw in riding the horses and the horse is not the Sunnah.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 19

HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

Syaitan deceive Muslims into the understanding that the counting of the number of beads in which a person remembers Allah is an act of zikir. Counting beads is only the mean to help Muslims to remember Allah but it is not what it really means by the zikir mention in the Quran and Hadis. Syaitan do not make them to understand that to obey the orders of Allah which Allah loves most to be practiced at that particular time is actually the meaning of zikir. Some of those Muslims, who follow the Tarikat group have the understanding that they are not required to perform solat any longer because they are constantly in zikir. They have come to this understanding because according to them, solat is ordered by Allah in order for men to remember Allah and since they are constantly in the state of remembrance of Allah, they are in the opinion that they are not required to perform solat. In this way the syaitan deceive them from obeying the orders of Allah. In my opinion all the Muslims who participate with the activities of these Tarikat group are not gaining any increase in iman but they are gaining only an increase in pride or kibir. Syaitan can easily deceive the non-Muslims, Muslims who have no iman, Muslims who have weak iman but syaitan will never be able to deceive the Muslims who are believers.

Those who have become believers are protected by Allah from the devil syaitan. After doing any action Muslims who are believers will have the taufik from Allah to recite the Kalimah; I have no power to execute this action except with the permission of Allah and all praise is due to Allah. With this Kalimah, a person with the permission of Allah will be protected from having kibir or riak. Iman does not increase with solat or with zikir or with reading of the Quran or with charity or with studying in madrasah about Islam. With only ibadah or studying about Islam or memorizing the Quran and not doing the first order of Allah, instead of gaining iman a person may gains pride or kibir. When a person gains pride or kibir that person may become syaitan. The persons who have pride or kibir, in reality are gaining syirik with Allah in their heart because they have associated Allah with their own selves. Whoever has syirik with Allah, Allah will make syaitan to become their friends or advisers who will try to drive them away from the correct path. Many of those who often go to the mosques for five times daily solat with congregation are not gaining any increase of their iman but they are gaining an increase of pride or kibir. When a person gains pride or kibir, that person will not have good manners or good behaviours towards other Muslims and the non-Muslims. What is the evidence to show that those Muslims who often pray in congregation in the mosques have kibir and riak? Whenever we visited the houses of those who often go to the mosque to perform prayers with congregation, many of them are behaving very rude towards their visitors. When anyone of lower standard than them comes to their houses in order to remind them about Allah, many of them refuse to listen to the talks of reminding them about Allah and sometime they even drive those peoples who want to remind them about Allah away from their homes.

Many Muslims were deceived by Iblis and syaitan into the belief that their children will become good Muslims if they send their children to study Islam or to memorize Quran in madrasah and become ustaz and ustazah. Many Muslims have the belief that a person who has knowledge about the Quran will become a good Muslim. With this believe, many Muslims parents sent their children even at a very young age to madrasah in order for their children to memorize the Quran and to become the hafiz or the hafizah of Quran. Many Muslims believe that anyone with the knowledge of Quran and Hadis or anyone who is able to memorize the Quran will have strong iman and with strong iman they will have good actions or amals and with the good iman and good actions they will certainly enter paradise. Many Muslims parents believe that when their children become hafiz and hafizah, their children in the hereafter will be able to give syafaat to them. With this belief and thinking many parents particularly from among Jemaah Tabligh sent almost all of their children to study in madrasah in order to make their children to become hafiz and hafizah of Quran. All these parents have been deceived by Iblis and syaitan who tell to them that their children will have strong iman and good amal by studying Quran and Hadis or memorizing the Quran and Hadis in the madrasah. Studying or memorizing Quran without becoming believers will only make the persons to become ignorant Muslims scholars or ignorant Hafiz and Hafizah. Our iman will not become strong by studying Quran and Hadis or by memorizing Quran and Hadis. Our iman and the iman of our children will only become strong when we and our children are doing the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah which is the work of inviting the whole mankind to good and forbidding the whole mankind from evils.

When the students of the madrasah do not become believers, they are easily deceived by Iblis and syaitan. Instead of using the Quran and the Hadis to calls mankind to good and to prevent mankind from evils, the graduates of the madrasah will use the knowledge of the Quran and Hadis in order to earn a living. How to earn a living out of the Quran and Hadis? Iblis and syaitan will tell to the ustaz and the hafiz of Quran who have graduated from the Madrasah to establish more Islamic schools or madrasah for the Muslim children. With the establishment of more madrasah and more Islamic schools for Muslims children in the society, there will be more employment opportunities for all the ustaz and Hafiz of Quran. By teaching in the various madrasah and Islamic schools and also teaching in the various mosques in the localities, ustaz and hafiz of Quran are earning their living by using their knowledge of the Quran and Hadis which they have learned from the madrasah. Instead of using their knowledge of the Quran and Hadis to call mankind to Allah, in the name of teaching of Islam and the Quran in the madrasah many ustaz and hafiz are earning their living from their knowledge of the Quran and Hadis.

Many ustaz and Hafiz are opening many madrasah and all these madrasah will produce more ustaz and Hafiz of Quran and each of the ustaz and the Hafiz of Quran produce by the madrasah will build more madrasah and Islamic schools and in this way we will have thousands of madrasah and Islamic schools in the country. Many Muslims particularly in Jemaah Tabligh regard this as an achievement, because according to them, prior to the coming of the work of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia there are very few madrasah and Islamic schools in Malaysia. When the work of Jemaah Tabligh comes to Malaysia there are mushrooming of madrasah in Malaysia. In my opinion, the mushrooming of madrasah in Malaysia is not a sign of achievement because we may have thousands of madrasah and Islamic schools like in Indonesia and we may have thousands of ustaz and hafiz of Quran but we will not have even a single pious person in the society. A pious person in a society is not produced by madrasah and Islamic schools but a pious person like companions were produced by the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and the work of Prophet Muhammad saw is the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils.

Iblis will deceive Muslims parents to send their children to madrasah and Islamic schools and Iblis gives promise to the Muslim parents that their children will become pious and good Muslims when their children are studying in madrasah and Islamic schools. It is not true that our children will become good and pious Muslims when they study in madrasah and Islamic schools. Pious and good Muslims are not produced from madrasah or from Islamic schools but pious and good Muslims are produced from the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. The companions of the Prophet Muhammad saw have never attended any madrasah or Islamic schools but they are good and pious Muslims. How do the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw become pious and good Muslims when they have never attended any madrasah or any Islamic schools? The companions of the Prophet Muhammad saw have become pious and good Muslims because they do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw under the guidance of Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw. What is the work of Prophet Muhammad saw? The work of Prophet Muhammad saw is to call peoples to Allah and to call peoples to Allah means is to invite mankind to good and to forbid mankind from evils. With more madrasah we are producing only more ahli kitab and not more ulama or more alim. Ulama or alim are Muslims who have become believers. Ulama and alims are not produced by madrasah or Islamic schools but ulama and alims are produced by the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Muslims who are ahli Kitab are Muslims who are not believers and who do not have the understanding of the Quran and Hadis. Ahli kitab are only good in reading the Quran and Hadis from the Kitab but but they are not given by Allah the understanding of the Quran and Hadis as written in the Kitab.

There are many Muslims who always go to the mosques to perform solat with congregation. Many Muslims believe that the first order of Allah after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayer. Many Muslims do not know that after they have recited the Great Kalimah they have to do the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah which is the work to invite mankind to good and to prevent mankind from evils. It is not written in any of the Islamic books which are available to all the Muslims in this world that after a person recites the Great Kalimah that person needs to do the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah. In all the Islamic books available to all the Muslims in the whole world since more than one thousand years ago, it is written that the first pillar of Islam is only to recite the Great Kalimah. The first Islamic book is probably written only after a few hundred years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad saw. All the other books which are written after the first book was written only follow what was written in the first book about the five pillars of Islam. According to all the Islamic books available to all the Muslims since more than one thousand years ago, other than to recite the Great Kalimah, there is no other order associate with the recitation of the Great Kalimah. What was written in all the Islamic books available to the Muslims since more than one thousand years ago is the first order of Allah after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayers. Iblis and syaitan have deceived the Muslims in the whole world since more than one thousand years ago that the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils.

Many Muslims understand that the first order of Allah after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to do the work of inviting the whole mankind to good and forbidding the whole mankind from evils. Since the early days of Islam, Iblis and syaitan have persuaded the Muslims not to do the work which fulfiling the right of the Great Kalimah. Initially Iblis and syaitan will corrupt the Muslims with the desire to have the wealth of this world and not to have Allah. When Iblis and syaitan have corrupted the Muslims with the love of the material wealth, the next action which Iblis and syaitan will take is to prevent Muslims from doing the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah which is the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils. Nowadays when Muslims are able to perform the five times daily prayers with congregation everyone will certainly regard that Muslims to be a very good Muslim. Nowadays there are very few Muslims who are able to perform the five times daily prayers and what more to be able to perform the five times daily prayers with congregation.

The five times daily prayers of Muslims supposed to prevent Muslims from doing evil deeds but unfortunately many of those who are praying the five times daily prayers even with congregation are not being prevented by their prayers from committing evil deeds. Why this happen? This happen because the prayers of many Muslims are devoid of iman or sincerity. Why Muslims do not have iman or sincerity? Because they are not doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and they are not doing the work of reminding the Muslims about the Great Kalimah and to invite Muslims to do the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah. When Muslims are not doing the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah or the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils, their iman will not increase. When their iman does not increase they do not become believers and when they are not believers, they do not have sincerity. When Muslims are performing their five times daily prayers even with congregation but without sincerity, their iman will not increase with the prayers and their prayers will not be accepted by Allah and their prayers will not be able to prevent them from doing evil deeds.

Instead of obtaining more iman with their prayers Muslims with their prayers will obtain more riak or kibir. Pride or kibir is the brother of syirik. Why do they obtain more riak and kibir with their prayers? Iblis and syaitan will inject into the hearts of those Muslims who often went the mosques to perform prayers with congregation that they are better Muslims than those Muslims who do not went to the mosques to perform their prayers with congregation. Syaitan make them to believe that they are able to go to the mosques because they are good and pious Muslims. Muslims who do not have the Great Kalimah inside their heart will be easily deceive by the syaitan into the belief that they are able to go to the mosque because they are good and pious Muslims. Syaitan will make those Muslims who do not have the Great Kalimah inside their heart to forget that the one who makes them to be able to come to the mosques for prayers is only Allah. A person who has syirik or pride or kibir will not have good behaviours. According to my experience of visiting many Muslims in my locality I find those Muslims who often went to the mosques for five times daily prayers are more proud and rude than those Muslims who do not went to the mosques for prayers.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 18

HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

The members and the scholars of Jemaah Tabligh concentrate so much in reviving the small practices of the Prophet Muhammad saw such as the practice of eating, sleeping and going to the toilets but when it comes to reviving the obligatory practice of the Muslims or the Great practice of Prophet Muhammad saw of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah, the scholars and the members of Jemaah Tabligh decline to practice the Great sunnah by giving  excuses that nowadays Muslims are not yet ready or capable in inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great  Kalimah. Who are the elders of Jemaah Tabligh who could claim that nowadays Muslims are not ready or not yet capable to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah? Are the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in Nizammuddin India has become a new Prophets of Allah who have received a new revelation or wahyu from Allah which can cancelled the previous order of Allah given to Prophet Muhammad saw in the Quran? In my opinion the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in India maybe received new revelation not from Allah but from the Iblis.

Syaitan will make the Muslims who practice the small practices of the Prophet Muhammad saw feel like they are those who have revived the Great Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw at the time when the Muslims are away from Islam and the reward of reviving the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw at such time is the reward of one hundred martyrs. Many Muslims are wearing the attires of Prophet Muhammad saw with the intention of reviving the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw and some with the intention to protect themselves from committing evils and some with the intention to show to others that they belongs to the peoples of Dakwah and some with the intention to maintain the image of a pious and good Muslims. When the intention of wearing the attires of Prophet Muhammad saw is to safeguard from committing evils or with all other intention other than the intention to please Allah, the intention is wrong or is not sincere. Muslims should only wear the attires of Prophet Muhammad saw with the intention because it is the order of Allah and to please Allah. We are not sincere in wearing the attires of Prophet Muhammad saw because we are not believers. We are not believers because we are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. There are also some Muslims who are wearing the attires of Prophet Muhammad saw only because they want to deceive other Muslims into the belief that they are pious and religious. Iblis will tell them that they are pious and in order to show to others that they are pious, they must wear the attires of Prophet Muhammad saw.

In reality they are not pious or soleh but they just deceive other Muslims into the belief that they are pious and religious. They are not pious and soleh because they did not do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and no one will ever become pious and soleh unless they do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw and the work of Prophet Muhammad saw is the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. How could a person obtain piety without doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils, which is the Great Sunnah or the real work of Prophet Muhammad saw? Many Muslims, instead of wearing jubbah and turban while doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils, they are wearing jubbah and turban while doing the work of inviting others to buy their chickens or to buy their religious books, tasbih or other religious materials. They are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and yet the syaitan make them to think that they are reviving the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw only by wearing beard, jubah and the turban while selling chickens from house to house in Gombak. Whoever has the same desire as the desire of Prophet Muhammad saw then he will follow the path of Prophet Muhammad saw which is the path of calling peoples to Allah.

Whoever has the desire to seek and to have Allah’s pleasure must do the work of inviting peoples to Allah with firm belief and determination. The work of inviting peoples to Allah is the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and the work of reminding Muslims about the Great Kalimah and the work to invite Muslims to do the work to invite mankind to good and to prevent mankind from evils. Jemaah Tabligh is not even ready to execute the work which is similar to the work of our Prophet Muhammad saw, and yet they call their work as the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Jemaah Tabligh has been deceived by the devil syaitan into the believe that they are doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw but in reality they are not doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Iblis who are the enemies of the Muslims has deceived Jemaah Tabligh to dream of entering paradise because they believe they are doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Iblis is the one who hates the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and Iblis is the one who hates Muslims to invite other Muslims to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils.

Both syaitan and Jemaah Tabligh hate the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to invite the Muslims to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah or the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. The work of Jemaah Tabligh is not the work of Prophet Muhammad saw although Jemaah Tabligh claims to the Muslims in all over the world that their work is the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Jemaah Tabligh has deceived the Muslims when they claim to all the Muslims in the whole world that they are doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw because Jemaah Tabligh neither invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah nor does Jemaah Tabligh invite Muslims to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. The members of Jemaah Tabligh, who spend times for 3 days in a month or 40 day in a year or 4 months once in the whole lifetime are doing only the work of inviting Muslims to join their movement. Jemaah Tabligh does not encourage their members to remind each other about the Great Kalimah and Jemaah Tabligh does not allow their members to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah.

Sheikh Abdul Wahab of Pakistan has been trying to encourage the members of Jemaah Tabligh to remind each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah. However the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in Nizammuddin India were not in favour with such activities. When some of the elders were not in favour with certain method of doing the work, the methods must be abandoned by Jemaah Tabligh. In Jemaah Tabligh, the greatest usul or rule of the work is to maintain unity among the workers of Jemaah Tabligh. In Jemaah Tabligh, unity of the workers must be maintained even to the extent that you have to break the orders of Allah. Such activities of reminding Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah had caused disunity among the elders of Jemaah Tabligh. In order to maintain unity among them the activity of reminding each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah as proposed by Sheikh Abdul Wahab of Pakistan has to be abandoned in Jemaah Tabligh. Why do the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in Nizammuddin are not in favour with the activities of reminding Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah as proposed by Sheikh Abdul Wahab?

In my opinion, the activities of reminding Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah has to be discontinued in Jemaah Tabligh because the proposal of the activities of reminding Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah did not come from the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in Nizammuddin India but it comes from Sheikh Abdul Wahab who is the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in Raiwind, Pakistan. Judging from their actions, it appears to me that the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in Nizammuddin India are following the desire of the devil syaitan and not the desire of Allah. It is only syaitan and Iblis who dislike Muslims to remind each other about the Great Kalimah and to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. However, Maulana Saad of Nizammuddin, India often in his morning lecture or bayan speak about the important of Muslims reminding each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah but why when such activities were proposed to be done among the Muslims, the elders of Nizammuddin particularly Maulana Saad did not agree with such activities to be continued in Jemaah Tabligh. It looks to me that the action of Maulana Saad was contradictory to what he preaches in his lectures or bayan. Although on the mimbar, the elders of Nizammuddin particularly Maulana Saad is preaching to the Muslims similar to what the Prophet saw preach but the actions of Maulana Saad on the other hand are contradictory to what he preaches on the mimbar.

There are many ways on how the syaitan deceive the whole mankind but the most important way syaitan use to deceive mankind is to prevent them from reciting the Great Kalimah and to prevent those who have recited the Great Kalimah from doing the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah which is the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. When Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah do the work of inviting those who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah, Allah will become pleased with the Muslims and to the non-Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah, all their previous sins of both Muslims and the new Muslims are forgiven by Allah. When Allah is pleased with the Muslims, Allah will give to the Muslims, iman. In the eyes of Allah iman is the most valuable thing which men must have in this world and in the hereafter. When Muslims have acquired the level of iman which Allah wants, Muslims will become believers. When Muslims have become believers, Muslims will have sincerity in all of their actions. When Muslims have sincerity in all of their actions, Muslims will be protected from the attacks and the clutches of the devil syaitan. Syaitan does not want the non-Muslims to become Muslims and syaitan does not want the Muslims to become believers and to have sincerity in all of their actions. Syaitan knows that Allah has promised to protect those who are sincere in obeying the orders of Allah from the attacking and the clutches of the devil syaitan.

When Muslims have become believers, Muslims will have sincerity in all of their actions. Syaitans are not able to drive Muslims away from the correct path when Muslims are sincere in all of their actions. Syaitan knows this very well and because of this syaitans are working very hard to prevent Muslims from doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and from reminding other Muslims about the Great Kalimah and from inviting other Muslims to do the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah. Syaitans are deceiving Muslims into making only zikir or remembrance of the Great Kalimah but not to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and not to remind other Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to invite other Muslims to do the work which fulfilling the right of the Great Kalimah. Iblis made the Muslims to understand that only by remembering the Great Kalimah or zikir of the Great Kalimah abundantly, the iman of Muslims will become strong. This is from the syaitan and this is entirely not correct because there are not even one verses of the Quran or one Hadis which mention that our iman will become strong with zikir or remembrance of Allah. There is none from the Quran and Hadis that can verify this claim. Prophet Muhammad saw in a Hadis did mention to the Muslims to renew their iman by talking or speaking more about the Great Kalimah but not by zikir or remembering more of the Great Kalimah. Currently in the Islamic world there are many groups who practice zikir or remembrance of Allah, known as Tarikat and they believe that their iman will become strong with zikir or remembrance of Allah.

These Tarikat groups have many different names and each group is led by one leader or Sheiks. All of these Tarikat groups claim to have connection with the Prophet Muhammad saw and they claim that similar practices were done by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Allah orders Muslims to remember Allah but Allah orders the Muslims to remember Allah the way shown by Prophet Muhammad saw. There are not even a single Hadis which shows that the Prophet Muhammad saw have practice zikir or remembrance of Allah in the way done by these Tarikat groups. Similar to Jemaah Tabligh, these Tarikat groups also have many followers but their followers are not as many as the followers of Jemaah Tabligh. The members of Tarikat group are also required by their sheikh to spend time with their sheikh or leaders for the purpose of practicing zikir or remembrance of Allah. The members of Tarikat groups also spend time from several days to several months with their sheiks or leaders and during that time they are doing only zikir or remembrance of Allah and solat with their sheikhs or leaders.

All the followers of Tarikat groups regard their sheikh or leaders as pious and who have special connection with the Prophet Muhammad saw and with Allah. Muslims who participate in the activities of these Tarikat groups are only doing zikir and solat and they are neither inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah nor do they remind the Muslims about the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. Tarikat groups also claim that they are doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw which in reality they are not doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Allah has not ordered the Prophet Muhammad saw and the Muslims to do zikir or remembrance of Allah the way in which these Sheikhs of Tarikat groups have ordered their followers to do zikir. Allah orders Muslims to remember Allah at all time which actually means to obey all the orders of Allah which Allah is pleased at a particular time and this is known as zikir. What it means by zikir in the Quran is to obey the order of Allah which Allah is pleased at a particular time. To know which order is the most loved by Allah to be practiced at a particular time is known as ilmu and to carry out the order of Allah which Allah loves the most at particular time is known as zikir or Hikmah. Syaitan deceive Muslims into the understanding that zikir is the exercise of counting the number of beads in which they remember Allah.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 17

HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

There are many non-Muslims who are actively involved in charitable organizations in this world as compared to Muslims. Since there are very few Muslims who are believers in this world and also active in charitable activities, so accordingly there are hardly any Muslims in this world who are very rich. There are very few charitable organizations in this world which are lead by Muslims. Muslims will be rewarded by Allah in this world and the hereafter only when the charitable activities are done with sincerity. When the charitable activities are not sincere, the Muslims will not be rewarded either in this world or in the hereafter. However, most Muslims are poor. There is no one who makes the Muslims to become poor except Allah. Allah has made Muslims to become poor because of their own bad actions and not because they are Muslims. Syaitan deceive Muslims into the belief that they are poor because they were Muslims. Syaitan deceive the Muslims by telling them that Allah makes the non-Muslims rich because Allah loves the non-Muslims. In case you want to become rich the syaitan will persuade the Muslims to become non-Muslims. In this way syaitan are trying to persuade the Muslims to leave Islam and become non-Muslim.

Syaitan will make the Muslims to believe that to be Muslims means to become poor. Syaitan will make the Muslims to believe that to become poor is a virtue. Many Muslims scholars teach the Muslims that to become poor is a virtue and that even the Prophet Muhammad saw was poor. Many Muslims believe that Allah made the believers to become poor and when a person is not poor then that person cannot be a believer or the lover of Allah. Many Muslims believe that the more iman a person has the poorer he will become. All the stories of the so call the lover of Allah is portrayed by the Muslims scholars as poor and destitute. Many members of Jemaah Tabligh believe that Dr Nasoha will become rich after Dr Nasoha leave Jemaah Tabligh because when Dr Nasoha leaves Jemaah Tabligh he will have no iman and no good amals. According to the belief of many Muslims and that of Jemaah Tabligh that a Muslims will only become rich when they have no iman and no good actions.

Many in Jemaah Tabligh believe that the iman and the amal of Dr Nasoha was strong when he was with Jemaah Tabligh and because of that Dr Nasoha used to be relatively poor. When Dr Nasoha leaves the work of Jemaah Tabligh the iman and the amal of Dr Nasoha have become weak and when the iman and the amal of Dr Nasoha become weak Dr Nasoha will become a rich person. This is the reason why Jemaah Tabligh believes that Dr Nasoha will become a rich person after leaving the work of Jemaah Tabligh. Many Muslims believe to be poor is a virtue because Prophet Muhammad saw is also a poor person. Is it true to be poor is a virtue? Is it true that Allah will make the believers to become poor? Allah promise to those who believe and have good actions that Allah will makes them to become rich and powerful in this world. To be poor is a sign of virtue is the teaching of syaitan and Iblis. Iblis wanted to prevent Muslims from obeying the order of Allah and to become non-Muslims. What is the meaning of the verse of the Quran in which Allah says with approximate meaning that Allah will make those who believe and have good actions to have a good life in this world and the hereafter? What is the meaning of having a good life in this world? Does to have a good life in this world mean to become poor? Or does it mean to have all the good things in the life of this world? Allah loves the believers and Allah loves those who believe and have good actions. When Allah loves someone, Allah will give him or her not only wealth but also power and health in this world. Allah will also give to those whom Allah loves the understanding of Quran, the ability to obey all the orders of Allah as Allah wishes, peace of mind, happiness and tranquility in this world. Allah says in the Hadis of Qudsi with the approximate meaning; Make Me as the objective of your life, make Me as the purpose of your life and make Me as your lover and when you obtain Me as your objective, purpose and lover, you will have everything. It is wrong to believe that Allah will make those who believe and do good actions to become poor and weak in this world. It is the teaching of syaitan and Iblis that good and pious Muslims will become poor in this world.

Allah does not love the non-Muslims. Iblis makes the Muslims with weak iman to believe that Allah loves the non-Muslims because we see Allah makes many of the non-Muslims to be rich in this world. Allah makes many of the charitable non-Muslims to become very rich because Allah wants to reward the charitable non-Muslims in this world since they will have nothing in the hereafter. Allah does not make all non-Muslims in this world to be rich. Allah gives to the charitable non-Muslims the reward of material wealth in this world but the material wealth which are given to them will not become the means of bringing peace and tranquility.

Allah has made our Prophet Muhammad saw to become poor not because Allah did not love him but because our Prophet Muhammad saw had asked Allah to make him poor. Among all the creation of Allah, Allah love Prophet Muhammad saw the most. Allah loves Prophet Muhammad and Allah will do whatever Prophet Muhammad wishes in this world. Prophet Muhammad saw was poor because he wanted to become poor so that he can be easily followed by all of his followers. Prophet Muhammad saw wanted the whole of his ummat to be able to follow him and when he is poor, even the poor among his ummat can still follow him. If he is rich, only the rich from among his ummat will be able to follow him but not the poor. Prophet Muhammad saw wanted all of his ummat whether they are poor or rich to follow him because when they follow him all of his ummat will be successful in this world and the hereafter.

Prophet Muhammad saw had the choice to be rich and powerful if he wishes. Allah will certainly grant the wishes of His Prophet saw. Prophet Muhammad saw used to say to his wife with approximate meaning; In case I want to become rich, Allah will makes for me the mountains of Uhud to become gold and Allah will make the mountain gold of Uhud to follow me. We are not prophet of Allah and we have no necessity to make doa to Allah to become poor. We have no one to follow us because we are not Prophet of Allah. In this world there should not be anyone to be followed blindly except Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw and those who follow Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw. I think it is normal for all human beings wishing to become rich in this world. Prophet Muhammad saw is the Prophet of Allah and all men are required by Allah to follow him in case men wanted to become successful. Other than Prophet Muhammad saw I think it is abnormal for any normal men to ask Allah to become poor. It is the Sunnah only for Prophet Muhammad saw and it is not the Sunnah for the followers of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Similarly it is the Sunnah only for Prophet Muhammad saw to marry more than 4 wives whereas all of his ummat are only allowed by Allah at one time to marry the maximum 4 wives.

Allah is the one who makes us poor and Allah is the one who makes us rich. Allah wants to see in the time when we are rich and in the time when we are poor, can we still obey the orders of Allah or not? When we can obey the first order of Allah and all the other orders of Allah in all situations and circumstances, Allah will makes us successful. When we are not doing the first order of Allah, the love of other than Allah will automatically enter into our hearts. When we have the desire to have other than Allah inside our hearts, the devil syaitan will easily deviate us from the correct path. Almost all Muslims in the whole world are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. Muslims have misunderstood the first order of Allah. Some Muslims scholars understood the first order of Allah is to learn about Islam. They arrived at this understanding because the first verse of the Quran revealed to Prophet Muhammad saw is about reading the verses of Quran. They interpreted the verse as the order to have knowledge or ilmu. Some Muslims scholars understand that the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily solat. In the five Pillar of Islam the first order of Allah is not about knowledge or performing the five times daily prayers but the first order of Allah is reciting the Great Kalimah; I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad saw is the Prophet of Allah.

Since more than one thousand years ago Muslims have understood that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah. Until today all the Muslims think and believe that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah and there is no work or responsibility associated with the recitation of the Great Kalimah. Since the first book written by the Muslim scholars about Islam, it was written that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah. Other books on Islam which were written after just followed exactly the first book on Islam. In this way all the books that were written until today write that the first pillar of Islam is to only recite the Great Kalimah. Until today in all books written about Islam stated that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah. When Muslims understood that the first order of Allah is only to recite the Great Kalimah, all Muslims all over the world since more than one thousand years ago was not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. What is the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah? It is the work to invite the whole mankind to good and to prevent the whole mankind from evils. In my opinion, when Muslims since more than one thousand years ago are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah, it is not difficult to understand that almost all the Muslims in this world are not having the Great Kalimah in their hearts.

We are Muslims but our desire is still to have other than Allah. When Muslims have the desire to have other than Allah in their hearts, Muslims are easily deceived by the devil syaitan. The first thing the syaitan deceive the Muslims is to prevent Muslims from doing the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah or the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. When Muslims are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah, the iman of all the Muslims in the whole world will become weak. With weak iman, Muslims will be easily deceived by the syaitan to follow their own desire and the wrong paths. Prophet Muhammad saw had said with approximate meaning; after his death, his ummat shall be divided into seventy three groups and except for only one group the other seventy two groups are following the wrong paths, the paths of the devil syaitan. Only one group out of the seventy three groups is following the correct path. Which group is following the correct path? Although all groups claim that they are in the correct path but the group which follows the Quran and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw is the group which is on the correct path. What is the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw? The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw is the path of inviting men to Allah. What is meant by inviting men to Allah? it is to invite men to good and to forbid men from evils which is the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah.

Prophet Muhammad saw in Arafah after the last pilgrimage in his last sermon had advised the Muslims to follow the Quran and the Sunnah. Prophet Muhammad saw had warned Muslims to hold firm to the Quran and the Sunnah or otherwise they will be deceived by Iblis and the devil syaitan. What is the greatest Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw? The greatest Sunnah of the Prophet saw is to invite men to Allah. What is meant by the verse to invite men to Allah? It means to invite men to recite the Great Kalimah and to remind those who have recited the Great Kalimah to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. Quran is the words of Allah and Quran is the desire of Allah. What is the desire of Allah? Allah desires all men in the whole world to accept Allah as their only God and to obey all the orders of Allah in the way shown by the Prophet Muhammad saw. Sunnah is the actions of Prophet Muhammad saw in order to fulfill the desire of Allah. What is the action of Prophet Muhammad saw or the Sunnah to fulfill the desire of Allah? The Sunnah is to invite men to Allah. Sunnah is to explain about the Quran and none of the Sunnah is false or weak. Hadis is to explain about the Sunnah and there are some Hadis which are false or weak.

Hadis are the words of Prophet Muhammad saw to explain the Sunnah. Syaitan work very hard to deviate men from the correct path. One of the ways syaitan uses to deviate men from the correct path is to persuade some men who have the knowledge about Hadis but also have the love of other than Allah in their hearts to create false or weak Hadis. Muslims without realizing it as a false or weak Hadis follows the Hadis blindly. Many of the so calls Muhaddissin among the ummat of Muhammad saw writes in their books, Hadis which are weak or false. Muslims who read the weak or false Hadis will follow those weak or false Hadis blindly. As for examples there are many false and weak Hadis were written in the book of Fadhail Amal, a book written by Maulana Zakaria, a Muhaddissin from India. Similarly there are many Hadis in Muntakab Hadis, a book which is written by Maulana Yusof also contained many false and weak Hadis. These two books are widely used by Jemaah Tabligh and Muslims all over the world. Muslims without knowing the status of the Hadis will read and follow the weak or false Hadis blindly. I think even Maulana Zakaria and Maulana Yusof were not aware that there are Hadis written in their books which are weak or false Hadis, because all the Hadis written in their books have been written in many previous books of Hadis for hundreds of years ago.

In my opinion, Hadis is to explain the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw and Sunnah is to explain the Quran. Al-Quran is the words of Allah and the actions of our Prophet Muhammad saw which are to explain the Quran are known as Sunnah. Anyone who wants to understand the Quran must look at the Sunnah. The actions of our Prophet Muhammad saw are known as the Sunnah. Sunnah is the Quran in actions. Whatever mention in a Hadis must complement what has been done by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Whatever has been done by Prophet Muhammad saw must complement what is mention in the Quran. If what is mention in the Hadis contradict to what is mention in the Quran, the Hadis must be a false or weak Hadis. All false and weak Hadis must be rejected by Muslims. When Muslims are following a weak or false Hadis, what is supposed not to be the order of Allah will be mistakenly regarded by Muslims to be the order of Allah. When Muslims are practicing what is not supposed to be the order of Allah or the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw, the practice will become an act of Bid’ah. Muslims who are practicing Bid’ah will regard the Bid’ah practices as the order of Allah and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw. When they believe the Bid’ah practices are the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw they will practice the Bid’ah without having the desire to make taubah and istigfar.

Muslims who practice Bid’ah will not make istigfar and taubah. When the Muslims believe that Bid’ah practices is the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw then they will not make taubah and istigfar. The practice of going out for 3 days in a month, 40 days in a year and 4 months, once in the whole lifetime which is practiced in Jemaah Tabligh is an act of Bid’ah. A practice which is Bid’ah has no basis either in the Quran or in the Hadis. Jemaah Tabligh regards their tertibs to be the same as the order of Allah and need to be followed strictly by all the members of Jemaah Tabligh. Some of the tertibs in Jemaah Tabligh are not from the Quran. The six qualities in Jemaah Tabligh are not from the Quran and Hadis but it is from the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh. Although all the qualities in the six qualities of Jemaah Tabligh are mention in the Quran and Hadis but it is not mention in the order as describe by Jemaah Tabligh. The fourth quality in the six quality of Jemaah Tabligh is to be kind to Muslims only and not to be kind to all mankind. Why Jemaah Tabligh needs to introduce the six qualities into Islam when in Islam Allah has already given the Muslims the 5 Pillars of Islam and the 6 Pillars of Iman?

Is it possible that Islam is not complete with the coming of Prophet Muhammad saw? Is it possible when the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad saw Allah has forgotten to include the 6 qualities of Jemaah Tabligh into Islam? Allah has completed the revelations and that Allah has chosen Islam as the religion and that there will be no more revelations will come after the coming of the last Prophet Muhammad saw. As there is no more revelations after the coming of Prophet Muhammad saw there should not be any new thing to be introduced into Islam. It is impossible that Allah has not completed the revelations to Prophet Muhammad saw and that Jemaah Tabligh needs to introduce a new principle known as the 6 principles of Jemaah Tabligh into Islam. The six qualities of Jemaah Tabligh is an act of Bid’ah. Syaitans are using Jemaah Tabligh to spread Bid’ah practices all over the world. Many think that the existence of Jemaah Tabligh in almost all countries of the world show that the work of Jemaah Tabligh is the true work of our Prophet Muhammad saw. The basis of all truth is not on numbers of followers but on Quran and Hadis. The great number of followers in Jemaah Tabligh is not the basis which can be used as evidence to show that Jemaah Tabligh is on the correct path. An organization which has many followers does not mean the organization follow the Quran. Dajjal also has many followers whereas Dajjal is inviting men to him and not to Allah. Jemaah Tabligh has been deceived by Iblis and syaitan. Iblis and syaitan make the members of Jemaah Tabligh to think that they are in the correct path so that until they die they will never make taubah and istigfar.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 16

HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

Why members of Jemaah Tabligh do not want to invite the non-Muslim to recite the Great Kalimah? Is it because the order does not come from Maulana Saad of Nizammuddin? Do the members of Jemaah Tabligh believe and think that Maulana Saad of Nizammuddin is the only person in this world who understands the Quran and Hadis? Is it not possible for Allah to give other persons other than their elders the understanding of the Quran? Do the members of Jemaah Tabligh think when they obey their elders in Nizammuddin actually they are disobeying the order of Allah and they think they are in the correct path? Do the members of Jemaah Tabligh think that whoever in this world does not obey the decision of their elders in Nizammuddin is regarded to be in the wrong path? Why the members of Jemaah Tabligh regard me as being deviated from the correct path when I do not follow the decision of their elders at Nizammuddin? Syaitan and Iblis have made the members of Jemaah Tabligh to believe that they are in the correct path so that the members of Jemaah Tabligh will not make taubah and istighfar for not inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah.

The members of Jemaah Tabligh are the persons who supposed to make taubah and istighfar. Instead of making taubah and istighfar they have requested me to make taubah and istighfar. They are angry with me because I write in my website the negative side of Jemaah Tabligh. They are angry with me but they do not have any point from the Quran and Hadis to criticize me. Because of that they are angry with me and they call me with various obscene names such as Iblis, kafir, monkey and nutty and others obscene names. What a shame to Jemaah Tabligh, who has been deceived by the devil syaitan and yet they think and believe they are in the correct path. There is no one who can protect us from the devil syaitan except Allah. Allah has given the Great Kalimah to all the Muslims. All Muslims need to deliver the Great Kalimah to all those who have not recited the Great Kalimah. Muslims must remind those who have recited the Great Kalimah, about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to invite them to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. During the day all Muslims, either males or females should spare some of their time, which is about forty-five minutes daily, to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to remind other Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah.

During some part of the night, Muslims should wake up from their sleep and should perform some rakaat of tahajjud prayer. After performing the tahajjud prayer Muslims should make taubah and istighfar on behalf of all the Muslims whether they are still alive or had passed away because the Muslims have neglected the work of inviting the whole mankind to good and forbidding the whole mankind from evils. When Muslims are practicing these two above amals, Allah will certainly protect the Muslims from being deceived by the devil syaitan. When Muslims cannot be deceived by the syaitan, syaitan will become very angry and frustrated. It is nice to see Iblis and the syaitan to become frustrated. At Arafah, Prophet Muhammad saw told his companions with approximate meaning that today the devil syaitan have become frustrated. At that time Iblis and syaitan were frustrated but Iblis and syaitan have never given up their effort to deviate men from the correct path. At all times, syaitan are looking for opportunities to deviate men from the correct path, the path which was followed by the Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions. Syaitan will manipulate the desire of men in such a way so that men are deviated from the correct path. Men will only be saved from the devil syaitan, when the desires of men are directed only for the purpose of winning the pleasure of Allah. How to win the pleasure of Allah? What is the first thing that all men need to do in order to win the pleasure of Allah? The first thing, all men should do in this world is to recite the Great Kalimah. After reciting the Great Kalimah, they have become Muslims. When they become Muslims the first order they need to do is to invite others who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah and to remind those who have recited the Great Kalimah about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to invite them to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah.

Allah is not visible to men. What are visible to men are the material things. Allah is not visible to men therefore it is very hard for men to redirect their desire from the desire to have the material things to the desire to have Allah. Material things are visible to men. With their own eyes men see the material things are giving benefit to men. Because men are able to see that material thing is giving benefit to men it is easier for men to love the material things than to love Allah. The truth is; there is no one who can give benefits or harm except Allah. Men should love Allah because Allah is the One who has created men and who has created all the material things which men need. Allah is the One who uses all the material things as the mean to fulfill the needs of men. Men should love Allah more than men should love the material things or other than Allah. Men do not need to do any work, to bring the love of other than Allah into their heart. Without any work the love of other than Allah will comes automatically into the hearts of men. How to bring the love of Allah into men’s heart? In order to bring the love of Allah into men’s hearts, men need to recite the Great Kalimah and to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah with constantly and with sacrifices and steadfastness and with the intention to please only Allah.

With the work, which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah, and with the intention to please Allah, we can obtain the love of Allah in our hearts. The work is also the creation of Allah and with the work we can obtain only the love of Allah. When we obtain the love of Allah, Allah will give us iman and everything that we love to have. We should not do the work with the intention to have iman, to be rectified, to obtain hidayat or to have all other intentions other than the intention to wins the pleasure of Allah.

Without making any effort the love of the material things will come automatically into the hearts of men. All men whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims love the material things. All men love to have such things as good houses and good cars. In order to obtain all the material things that men loves, all men believe that they must have plenty of money. Syaitan deceive men into the belief that money is the one that can gives men all the material things which men love to have. Syaitan deceive men into the belief; without money, men will definitely not able to obtain all these material things which men need. In my opinion, nowadays even the non-Muslims do not believe that their idols are the one that can give them money. Nowadays, either the non-Muslims or Muslims believe that money is the one which can gives them everything they need. Who give them money? Men believe the one that can give them money is their work. Nowadays, money has replaced the idols of the non-Muslims. The God of non-Muslims is now money and not idols. Muslims believe in Allah as one God but Muslims also believe that without money they will not be able to have all the material things which they want to have. All Muslims agree with the fact that Allah is the One who can give them anything which they want but Muslims will also say; we need Allah but we also need money. Money has become the only God to many men in this world and to the Muslims; they are associating money with Allah.

Now Iblis and syaitan have a new tool to deviate men from Allah. Iblis and syaitan are using money as a tool to deviate men from the correct path. Iblis is not worried about the non-Muslims who change their God from idols to money. According to syaitan, either the non-Muslims make idols or money as their God, all of them will enter hellfire. What Iblis and syaitan really want to do is to make the Muslims to associate money with Allah. Muslims will never regard the idols as their God and Muslims will never prostrate to the idols as done by the non-Muslims. Muslims will never believe that the idols can give them anything that they want. However syaitan can deceive the Muslims to believe that with money they can have anything that they want. Iblis can deceive Muslims to associate money with Allah. In other words, syaitan can deceive Muslims to have syirik with Allah and the type of syirik that Muslims will have is an invisible syirik and not the visible syirik. Although the syirik is invisible but it is as dangerous as the visible syirik. Visible syirik is done by the non-Muslims. Prophet Muhammad saw had said with approximate meaning that Bani Israel had made gold and silver as their God and my ummat will make dinar and dirham as their God. In another hadith, Prophet Muhammad saw said with approximate meaning that he fears so much about his ummat after his death will commit the sins of the invisible syirik.

Many Muslims are doing syirik to Allah. When Muslims believe that Allah will help them, only when they have money actually they are doing syirik to Allah. When Muslims believe that without money, Allah is not able to help them to complete their work; Muslims are doing syirik to Allah. Muslims in Al-Arqam are doing syirik to Allah because they believe with money Allah will make Islam alive and because of that the Muslims in Al-Arqam are doing many businesses in order to generate more income to support their movement which they believe will make Islam alive. Muslims in PAS are doing syirik to Allah because they believe with power Islam will alive. The workers of PAS are working very hard to gain power, because they believe with power and money, Allah will make Islam alive. What is the truth? There is no one who can make Islam alive except Allah. Allah will only make Islam to become alive not with money or with power but with the work of our Prophet Muhammad saw. When Muslims are doing any action with the intention to please other than Allah or to show to other than Allah, Muslims are doing syirik to Allah. The sin of syirik is not forgiven by Allah. The sins of syirik cannot be forgiven by Allah with taubah and Istigfar as syirik can only be eradicated but not forgiven. In order to eradicate syirik in the hearts of Muslims, Muslims must do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. Allah does not accept when Muslims make any action with syirik in their hearts. Syaitan and Iblis love Muslims doing syirik to Allah so that all their action is not accepted by Allah.

Muslims believe in Allah but according to many Muslims, beside Allah they must also have money. It is hard to many Muslims to understand that our need is only to have Allah and not to have money. It is hard to many Muslims to understand when they have Allah, they will have everything. Nowadays Muslims are associating Allah with money. Muslims believe that Allah is God but money is also God. In order to obtain money Muslims also believe that they have to work very hard similar to the non-Muslims. Muslims also believe with money, they will be able to obtain whatever they want. All men either Muslims or non-Muslims men will tend to keep their money in the bank and not to spend their money because they love the money. Syaitan will deceive Muslims into the believe that in order to be successful they must have plenty of money and in order to have plenty of money, syaitan told to the Muslims not to spend their money on others but to deposit their money in the bank and to earn interest from the money which they have deposited in the bank. Allah orders us to spend money on our needs and the money which is more that our need, Allah orders us to spend on the poor and the needy. Instead of spending the extra money on the poor and the needy syaitan will persuade Muslims to be frugal and thrifty in their spending on the poor and the needy.

Allah has promised to the Muslims that Allah will give back double the amount of money which the Muslims have spent on the poor and the needy, provided their intention is only to please Allah. Syaitan will make Muslims to be very frugal and thrifty in their spending on the poor and the needy and syaitan will makes the intention of Muslims not to please Allah whenever they spend their money on the poor and the needy. When the intention of Muslims who give money on the poor and the needy is not sincere, Allah will not fulfill His promise to the Muslims. Only when the actions and the intention of the Muslims are correct, then only will Allah reward the Muslims in this world and in the hereafter. On the other hand syaitan will make the non-Muslims to become very generous in spending their money on the poor and the needy. Allah will reward the non-Muslims on whatever good deeds they have done only in this world because the non-Muslims will have nothing for them in the hereafter. When non-Muslims are doing any good deeds in this world, they will get the reward only in this world. Allah will make the non-Muslims who have done good deeds to become rich in this world. Because there are many non-Muslims in this world who are very generous on the poor and the needy, Allah makes them rich in this world.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 15

HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

The Syiah thinks only those who has blood relationship with Prophet Muhammad saw should be made the Caliph and not those who do not have the blood relationship with the Prophet Muhammad saw. This is not Islamic and entirely against the principle of Islam in choosing the leader of the Muslims. In Islam leaders are not selected on the basis of blood relationship. In Islam, Allah orders us to choose the best among the Muslims at any particular time to become the leader of Muslims. The best Muslim is the Muslims who have the most fear of Allah. After the death of Prophet Muhammad saw, the person who is the best in taqwa was Hazrat Abu Bakar. Hazrat Abu Bakar on the other hand wanted the Muslims to choose Hazrat Umar to become the first Caliph but Hazrat Umar told to himself that he could never become the leader of Muslims when Hazrat Abu Bakar was still alive. Hazrat Abu Bakar did not want the power and position but Allah made the power and position to come to him. Hazrat Abu Bakar accepted power and position because the power and position was been forced upon him.

The selection of the supreme leader known as Hadratji in Jemaah Tabligh also did not follow the principle of Islam. In Jemaah Tabligh, they choose their Hadratji not according to the principle of Islam but according to blood relationship. Those who have the blood relationship with Maulana Ilyas will have the chance to become Hadratji. Who teaches Jemaah Tabligh to choose their Hadratji according to blood relationship with Maulana Ilyas if it is not the devil syaitan. Muslims must choose their leaders from among the believer if the Muslims do not want to be deceived by the devil syaitan. In Islam the best person from among the believers should become the leader of the Muslims. Lies about Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar were spread by those who themselves wanted to have power and position but they were unable to obtain the power and the position. They become jealous of Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar and they become syaitan. What is the work of syaitan? Syaitan spread lies about Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar that both of these two eminent companions of the Prophet Muhammad saw wanted power and position. Iblis and syaitan lied to the Muslims that Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar were the two persons who were ready and willing to do anything in order to have power and position.

Muslims with weak iman will believe in the lies spread by Iblis and syaitan. Those Muslims with weak iman who believe in the lies spread by the Iblis and syaitan about Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar become the followers of one sect in Islam known as Syiah. Syiah are led by those who love power and position who are under the control of Iblis and syaitan. Iblis and syaitan deceive the Syiah into practicing many Bid’ah in Islam. The Syiah never think and believe that they are practicing Bid’ah. They think they are practicing the order of Allah and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. Many Syiah would not know that the Islamic practices which had been practice by their ancestors since hundreds of years ago are an act of Bid’ah. As for example, on the 10thof Muharram, the Syiah practice what had never been practiced by our Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions and this practice are known as Bid’ah.

Iblis tell the Syiah that they are practicing the order of Allah according to the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw. Iblis make the Syiah to believe that they are in the correct path so that the Syiah will never make taubah and Istigfar over their wrong deeds. There are many Bid’ah practices which are done by the Syiah Muslims. There are many groups of Syiah and Iblis makes each group of the Syiah to believe that they are in the correct path so that each group will not make taubah and Istigfar over their wrong deeds. Now syaitan is making the Syiah to have war with other Muslims whom the Syiah call as Sunni. Now both the Syiah and the Sunni are planting the sentiment of hatred towards each other. The syaitan want both of them to go to war with each other so that the non-Muslims will know that Islam is a religion that promotes hatred and war even among their followers and with others. Now Muslims in the whole world are known to the non-Muslims as terrorists. In Syria and Pakistan the Syiah is killing the Sunni and the Sunni are killing the Syiah. Similarly in Iraq and many parts of the world there is constantly enmity and friction between the Syiah and the Sunni and both of them are Muslims. According to the non-Muslims both the Syiah and the Sunni are Muslims and they think Islam or the Quran teaches their followers to have war with each other. Syaitan painted the image of terrorist on Muslims so that the non-Muslims will not become Muslims.

At the same time Iblis and syaitan are trying to plant in the hearts of the Muslims the sentiment of hatred towards the non-Muslims particularly the Jews and the American. Iblis makes the Muslims to believe that their enemies are not Iblis but their enemies are the Jews and the non-Muslims. Iblis desire the Muslims to hate the non-Muslims so that the Muslims will not invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and when Muslims hate the non-Muslims, the non-Muslims will not become Muslims. Iblis deceives the Muslims who are not believers into the believe that to make enemies with the Jews and the non-Muslims and to have war with them is an act of worship and to die on the path of hatred and enmity with the Jews and the non-Muslims is to die as a martyr.

We do not like others to criticize us and to be told by others that we are wrong. It is painful to receive criticism. It is even more painful to be told by others that we are following a wrong path. In actual fact it is good to know that we are following the wrong path before we die so that we can rectify, make taubah and repentance as soon as possible. When we are being told by others that we are following the wrong path we must ponder and make some research on the statements. In case we really found out that we are in the wrong path and we should be ready to make taubah and Istigfar. When we are ready to make taubah and istigfar Allah will be pleased with us and Allah will forgives all our sins and Allah will show to us the correct path. In actual fact even when we are in the correct path and we are told by others that we are in the wrong path, and we bear patients on the statements Allah will reward us. In case we are in the correct path and we are ready to make taubah and Istigfar Allah will become more pleased with us. Our intention to make taubah is because it is the order of Allah and to please Allah.

Our intention to make taubah is not with the intention so that Allah accepts our taubah but for Allah to be pleased with us. When Allah is please with us then only Allah will forgive us and accept our taubah. When Allah accepts our taubah Allah will certainly guide us to even a more correct path. What is the problem to most men is they do not want or refuse to admit that they are in the wrong path and thus refuse to make taubah and istigfar. It is a virtue to admit mistakes and to admit that we are in the wrong path and it is a virtue to make taubah and istigfar. Iblis and syaitan are always trying to prevent Muslims from making taubah and istigfar.

All Muslims love Prophet Muhammad saw but there are Muslims who love Prophet Muhammad saw more than others. As a symbol of their ardent love toward the Prophet Muhammad saw they recite selawat abundantly to the Prophet Muhammad saw and they celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Although they love Prophet Muhammad saw but they are not willing to do the work which was loved by our Prophet Muhammad saw, the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and the work of reminding Muslims about the Great Kalimah and to invite Muslims to do the work which fulfils the right of the Great Kalimah. In my opinion this is not the true sign of love towards Prophet Muhammad saw. I think when we love someone we will try to do whatever that person does. How could we love Prophet Muhammad saw when we are not willing to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. It is true that Allah has ordered Muslims to read selawat to our Prophet Muhammad saw and Allah also read selawat to our Prophet Muhammad saw. However Allah has never ordered Muslims to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Some Muslims will argue that it is not wrong to celebrate the birthday of our Prophet Muhammad saw and to celebrate the birthdays of our children. In my opinion it is wrong to celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad saw because it is not the order of Allah and it is neither the practice of our Prophet Muhammad saw nor the practice of the companions to celebrate the birthday of our Prophet Muhammad saw and our children.

When Muslims are practicing something which the Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions did not practice, Muslims are practicing Bid’ah. There are some Muslims who are not only celebrating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad saw but they are also celebrating even the birthday of the so call saints in Islam. Is it an Islamic practice to celebrate birthdays? Nowadays even the so call pious persons are celebrating their birthdays and the birthdays of their children. It looks as if it is not a big deal to celebrate birthdays but when we are practicing something which was not practice by our Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions, we are practicing Bid’ah. Prophet Muhammad saw told us to always remember our death and not our birth and to make preparation for our death and not to celebrate our birth. What is the point to remember our birthday and the birthdays of our children? Is there any verse of the Quran and Hadis that orders us to remember and to celebrate our birthdays and the birthdays of our children? When we continue to practice celebrating our birthdays and the birthdays of our children, a time will come in the future when our progenies will regard the practices of celebrating birthdays as practices ordered by Allah and practiced by Prophet Muhammad saw. Celebrating birthdays is not practices which were done by our Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw. In fact celebrating birthdays is the practice of the non-Muslims and the Muslims who are celebrating birthdays are indeed practicing Bid’ah. As mention in almost every khutbah during Friday prayers that whoever practices Bid’ah is practicing evil deeds and whoever practice evil deeds will enter hellfire.

All the practices which are not done by the Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw are Bid’ah. Muslims must forgo Bid’ah practices. Muslims who practices Bid’ah must not only forgo such practices but they should also do taubah and istigfar. Allah orders us to love Prophet Muhammad saw, his families and all his companions. All Muslims should love all of them because it is the order of Allah. Our intention to love all of them is only to please Allah. All Muslims should love or hate someone, because it is the order of Allah and to please Allah. The members of Jemaah Tabligh should love and obey their elders because it is the order of Allah and only to please Allah. They should obey their elders when their elders obey the order of Allah. They should not obey their elders when their elders disobey the orders of Allah. They must not obey their elders blindly. If they obey their elders blindly, it means they have made their elders to be equal to Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw. Only Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw should be obeyed blindly. Muslims should obey neither their Amir nor their leaders nor their parents blindly.

When anyone irrespective of their position told us to obey the orders of Allah, as Muslims we must obey the order and the order must be done in the way shown by Prophet Muhammad saw. Muslims must not obey the orders of their Amir, leader or their parents when the orders are against the order of Allah or when the order is not done according to the way of our Prophet Muhammad saw. This is the basic thing which all Muslims should know and should follow. Why all members in Jemaah Tabligh obey their Amir when their Amir told them to do something which is against the order of Allah? When their Amir told them not to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah because Muslims are not capable to invite the non-Muslims to become Muslims, all the members of Jemaah Tabligh follows their leaders blindly. One of the syurah of Jemaah Tabligh of Malaysia even said to one of the members of Jemaah Tabligh that you will be saved if you follow the elders in Nizammuddin. According to the members of Jemaah Tabligh to follow their elders in Nizammuddin is the same as to follow Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw. However the companions of the Prophet Muhammad saw said something contrary to the member of Jemaah Tabligh; you will be saved if you follow Allah and His Prophet saw.

We should obey the order of Allah as mention in the Quran. We should follow or obey a person who told us to obey the order of Allah as mention in the Quran and Hadis. We should not look at the status of the person who told us about the orders of Allah but we must examine whether the order is really the order of Allah or not. If the orders come from the Quran we must follow, even though the person who told us about the order is only a vision specialist or optometrist like me. It is very clear in the Quran that Allah has ordered Muslims to invite the non-Muslims to Allah as done by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Prophet Muhammad saw invited the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and all the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw also invited the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and all the ulama of the past also invited the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and all the ulama of recent time except the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh agree with me that Muslims must invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. Jemaah Tabligh who claims to follow Prophet Muhammad saw is not inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah because according to them the present Muslims are not capable of doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. This is a great lie to all the Muslims in the whole world because there are many Muslims in this world who are currently as an individual capable of doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 14

HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

There are many Muslims who always go to the mosques for solat with congregation. Many Muslims believe that the first order of Allah after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayer. Many Muslims do not know that after they have recited the Great Kalimah they have to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. Sad to mention, it is not written in all the Islamic books available to the Muslims all over the world that after a person recites the Great Kalimah he needs to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. Since more than one thousand years ago, all the Islamic books available in the whole world writes that the first pillar of Islam is only to recite the Great Kalimah. The first Islamic book is probably written only a few hundred years after Prophet Muhammad saw passed away. All other books which are written after that only follow what was written in the first book. According to all the Islamic books available to all the Muslims, other than to recite the Great Kalimah, there is no other order associate with the recitation of the Great Kalimah. What was written in all the Islamic books since more than one thousand years ago is that the first order of Allah after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayers. I believe Iblis and syaitan have deceived the Muslims in the whole world since more than one thousand years ago. Iblis teaches our Muslims scholars to understand that after reciting the Great Kalimah the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to do the work that fulfill the right of the kalimah or the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils.

Many Muslims understand that the first order of Allah after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to do the work of inviting the whole mankind to good and forbidding the whole mankind from evils. Since the early days of Islam, Iblis and syaitan have persuaded the Muslims not to do the work which fulfils the right of the Great Kalimah. Initially Iblis and syaitan corrupt the Muslims with the desire to have the wealth of this world and not to have Allah. When Iblis and syaitan have corrupted Muslims with the love of the material wealth, the next action which Iblis and syaitan will take is to prevent Muslims from doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah which is the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils. Nowadays when Muslims are able to perform the five times daily prayers with congregation everyone will certainly regard that Muslims to be a very good Muslims. Nowadays there are very few Muslims who are able to perform the five times daily prayers and what more to perform the five times daily prayers with congregation.

The five times daily prayers of Muslims supposed to prevent them from doing evil deeds but unfortunately many of those who are praying five times daily prayers even with congregation are not being prevented by their prayers from committing evil deeds. Why this happen? This happen because the prayers of many Muslims are devoid of iman or sincerity. Why Muslims do not have iman or sincerity? Because they are not doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and they are not doing the work of reminding the Muslims about the Great Kalimah and to invite Muslims to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. When Muslims are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils, their iman will not increase. When their iman does not increase they will not become believers and when they do not become believers, they will not have sincerity. When they perform their five times daily prayers even with congregation but without sincerity, their iman will not increase and their prayers will not prevent them from doing evil deeds.

Instead of obtaining more iman with their prayers, many Muslims are obtaining riak or kibir. Kibir or pride is the brother of syirik. They obtain riak and kibir because Iblis and syaitan will inject into the hearts of those Muslims who often go the mosques that they are better Muslims than those Muslims who do not go to the mosques to perform their prayers with congregation. Syaitan makes them to believe that they are able to go to the mosques because they are good and pious Muslims. Muslims who do not have the Great Kalimah inside their heart will be easily deceived by the syaitan into the belief that they are able to go to the mosque because they are good and pious Muslims. Syaitan will make those Muslims who do not have the Great Kalimah inside their heart to forget that the one who makes them to be able to come to the mosques for prayers is Allah. A person who has syirik or pride and kibir will not have good behaviors. According to my experience of visiting Musims in my locality I find those Muslims who often go to the mosques for five times daily prayers have more pride than those Muslims who do not go to the mosques for prayers. Why do they have pride? They have pride because they have the disease of riak and kibir. How do I know that they are pride? When I want to remind them about Allah they refuse to listen to the words of Allah and most of them will tell me to go away from their houses because they do not like to be reminded about Allah. They do not like to be reminded about Allah because they think they already remember Allah. This is the talk of those who have kibir and riak in their hearts and most of those who are having riak and kibir happen to be those who often go to the mosques for prayers.

Why Pas members look down upon Muslims who join Umno? Why Pas members regard the members and supporters of Umno as kafir? This shows that Pas members have acquired the diseases of pride and kibir. Most Pas members have pride and kibir because all of them are not believers. Since Pas members are not believers, Iblis and syaitan easily deceive them. They are not believers because they do not have the Great Kalimah inside their heart. They do not have the Great Kalimah inside their hearts because they do not do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. Since Pas members are not believers they do not have good behaviors. Many Pas members will look down at those Muslims who join Umno and at those Muslims who are not practicing the orders of Allah. Many Pas members hate the members of Umno and regard Umno members as kafir or infidels. According to the leaders of Pas, Umno members are kafir or infidels because Umno is against Pas, and Pas according to them is an Islamic party. According to Pas leaders, whosoever is against an Islamic party such as Pas is regarded as Kafir.

Pas leaders assume that the work done by Pas is the same work done by Prophet Muhammad saw. Unfortunately the assumption made by the Pas leaders is wrong and therefore the fatwa by the Pas leaders that whosoever is against Pas is Kafir is also wrong. The work done by Pas and the work done by Prophet Muhammad saw is entirely different and not the same. It is true that a person can become Kafir when that person is against Prophet Muhammad saw or against the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. But it is not true that a person who is against Pas become Kafir. Pas is a political party that aims to have the power to rule Malaysia. Prophet Muhammad saw calls people to Allah and the work of Prophet Muhammad saw is also the work to call peoples to Allah. Prophet Muhammad saw is a Prophet and not a political figure and the work of Prophet Muhammad saw is not a political movement. Prophet Muhammad saw and those who do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw do not aim to have power to rule Malaysia but aim to have the love of Allah. It is wrong to assume that the work done by Pas is the same as the work done by Prophet Muhammad saw.

Iblis and syaitan have deceived the leaders of Pas into the belief that the work done by Pas is the same work done by Prophet Muhammad saw. Iblis deceived the leaders of Pas into the belief that with the work done by Pas, Islam will be made alive in Malaysia and Malaysia will become an Islamic nation. Allah will make Islam alive only by the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and not by the work of a political party such as Pas. Syaitan make the members of Pas to think that they are pious and Islamic and syaitan make them to hate their fellow brothers in Umno who are Muslims and they love those DAP non-Muslims who are not with Islam. Syaitan wants the Muslims to hate the Muslims and syaitan want the Muslims to have war with Muslims. When both Muslim are trying to kill each other, both of them will enter the hellfire. When Muslims are killed by the non-Muslims because the Muslims invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah, the Muslims will become martyrs and the Muslims will enter paradise. Syaitan hates Muslims when they are trying to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah the way done by Prophet Muhammad saw. Syaitan hates the Muslims when they are trying to remind Muslims about the Great Kalimah and to remind them about the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah.

Many Umno members are not performing their five times daily prayers and very few of them are performing the five time daily prayers in the mosques with congregation. More of the Pas members are performing the five times daily prayers as compared to Umno members and many more Pas members are performing prayers with congregation in the mosques as compared to Umno members. Umno rules Malaysia for more than fifty years.  With the power that Umno have, many Umno members become very rich and wealthy. Many Malays want to join Umno because they want to become rich and wealthy. I think only the Malays who join Umno in the early days of Umno join Umno because they love the Malays and the country. Nowadays, the Malays join Umno not because they love the Malays and the country but because they love to become rich and wealthy. With wealth and power the Malays in Umno are engrossed in evil pursuits and they are no longer competent to rule Malaysia. Many of Umno members are corrupted with bribery and misused of power.  Although they are no longer competent to rule the country but they do not want to lose the power, which they believe will help them to become rich and wealthy.

Pas members also want to have power and wealth. The Malays in Pas deceived other Malays that they wanted Islam but in reality they wanted to become rich and wealthy. In case Pas members really want Islam they must do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and not by entering political party. Islam is not going to be alive but to perish with political parties. Iblis deceived the leaders of Pas into the belief that there is politic in Islam. Politic is evils and evils are not in Islam. Mursyidul Am of Pas, Dato Nik Aziz said that Quran is Politic is the same as saying Quran is evils. May Allah teach Dato Nik Aziz the correct understanding of Islam. Now the members of Pas also know with power they will also become rich and wealthy. They also want to become rich and wealthy as the members of Umno. Now both the members of Umno and Pas are at war with each other and their war is the struggle to obtain power and wealth. Both Umno and Pas members are deceived by devil syaitan.

Both parties claimed that they are better than the other but in reality both of them are the same as both of them only wanted power and wealth. Pas members are deceived by the devil syaitan into the belief that Islam can be made alive by having power. What is the truth?  Islam can only be made alive by Allah and Allah will makes Islam alive by the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and not by political parties. Umno members are deceived by devil syaitan into the belief that with power they can obtain wealth and with wealth they will become successful Muslims. According to Umno members, Muslims are not successful when they are poor and in order to make Muslims to become successful the Muslims must have power.  According to Umno only when the Malays have the power to rule Malaysia then only the Malays can become rich and wealthy. Umno want to eradicate poverty among the Malays when poverty can only be eradicated by Allah. Allah will eradicate the poverty of the Malays when the Malays are loved by Allah. Allah will love the Malays when the Malays obey the first order of Allah which is to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah.

When the Malays do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah the Malays will become believers. When the Malays have become believers Allah will make the Malays to become rich and wealthy. Now all the Malays in both the party of Umno and Pas are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah and therefore all the members of both parties are not believers and therefore the members of both parties are easily deceived by the syaitan. Syaitan makes them to be at war with each other. How the Muslims Malays can be united when both parties of the Malays are at war with each other and they are at war with each other because members of both parties are under the control of Iblis and syaitan? As long as the Malays are under the control of Iblis and syaitan they will never become united. They will become united only when they become believers. Only when they become believers they will not be under the control of Iblis and syaitan and then the Malays will become united. Malay Muslims will not become believers until they do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah.

Syaitan deceived Umno members with evil practices and syaitan deceived Pas members with pride and kibir. The persons who are doing evil practices know that they are doing evil deeds and since they know that they are doing evil practices they stand a greater chance to perform istighfar or taubah than the persons who have kibir and riak. The persons, who have acquired the disease of pride or syirik, do not know that they have the disease of riak or kibir. Many of them think that they are on the correct path and therefore they do not easily perform taubah and istigfar. Other sins are visible but the sins of riak or kibir is invisible. Adam commits sins but Adam easily performs taubah and istigfar. Azazil commits sins of riak and kibir and the sins of riak and kibir is the same as the sins of syirik and the sins of syirik is not forgiven by Allah even with taubah and istigfar. The disease of pride or kibir is actually the same as the disease of syirik and the sins of syirik is not visible to the naked eyes. The sins of syirik are not forgiven by Allah. Allah forgives all other sins but Allah does not forgive the sins of syirik. In reality, the sins of kibir or syirik are more dangerous than the sins of other evil deeds. The sins of syirik are not forgiven by Allah. Allah orders Muslims to eradicate syirik from their hearts. Thus, Muslims need to eradicate syirik from their hearts. Syirik will only be eradicated when the Great Kalimah has entered into the heart of the Muslims and the Great Kalimah will only enter the heart of the Muslims when Muslims are doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah.

Syaitan destroy men by inviting them to do evil practices. When Muslims are doing evil practices, with the permission of Allah, syaitan will inject into the heart of Muslims the sensation of pleasure. Syaitan hopes with the sensation of pleasure experienced by the Muslims the Muslims will be addicted in doing the evil actions. Syaitan fears when Muslims who are engrossed with evil actions make repentance or taubah. Syaitan knows when a Muslim makes istighfar and taubah, all their sins will be forgiven. When Muslims are making taubah and istighfar syaitan becomes very angry and frustrated. Syaitan become angry and frustrated because all the hard work, which syaitan had done in making that person to commit evils, will become void. Syaitan does not want Muslims to make istighfar and taubah. What syaitan wants is to prevent Muslims from making taubah and istighfar. When Muslims knows that they are in the wrong path, Muslims have greater chance to make taubah and istighfar. How to makes Muslims to be in the wrong path yet the Muslims think that they are in the correct path? Syaitan knows when Muslims are in the wrong path yet think they are in the correct path, they will not make istighfar and taubah. When Muslims who are in the wrong path think they are in the correct path they will be prevented from making istighfar and taubah. When Muslims are prevented from making taubah and istigfar syaitans are sure to take those Muslims into the hellfire.

When men are not making taubah and repentance, men without doubt will be on the road heading towards hellfire. Iblis and syaitan is continuously making plan on how to make men to be in the wrong path yet they think and believe they are in the correct path and thus, they do not make taubah and istighfar. What is the plan of syaitan and Iblis? Syaitan and Iblis will make men to be involved in religious practices which are not done by Prophet Muhammad saw and yet men think it is done by Prophet Muhammad saw. The order of Allah which is not done in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw is known as Bid’ah. What is Islam? Islam is all practices done by our Prophet Muhammad saw. When we are not following the practices or the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw, we are not practicing Islam. Islam means the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Bid’ah is an innovative practice which does not come from the Quran and Hadis. Bid’ah practices do not follows the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw and the Sunnah of the four Caliphs of Islam. Bid’ah practices are evil practices and Bid’ah practices are not accepted by Allah. Whoever practices Bid’ah will enter hellfire.

Most Syiah love Prophet Muhammad saw, Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Hussein but most Syiah does not love Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar.  Why the Syiah does not love Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar? Syiah must love all of them because it is the order of Allah to love Prophet Muhammad saw and all of his companions including Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar. Our intention to love all of them should be only because it is the order of Allah and to please Allah. When we do not love all of them because it is the order of Allah and to please Allah, syaitan will have the opportunity to deviate all of us from the correct path. Whenever we do any actions without sincerity, we are in the control of syaitan. The Syiah and all other Muslims must love the Prophet Muhammad saw and all the companions of the Prophet saw. Muslims must love all of them because it is the order of Allah and our intention to love all of them is only to please Allah. Why the Syiah hates Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar? It is the order of Allah to hate both of them? Why the Syiah have prejudices toward Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar? Aren’t they the beloved companions of the Prophet Muhammad saw? Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar were believers and they were not easily deceived by the devil syaitan. Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar were not the type of persons like the Syiah think. Most Syiah thinks, both Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar had the desire to become Caliphs. Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar did not have the desire to have power and position. Both of them were the lover of Allah and both of them only wanted the love of Allah.
