DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 3

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

Iblis and syaitan will whisper to the elders of Jemaah Tabligh to tell the Muslims in all over the world that Muslims need to be rectified first before the Muslims can invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. In order to rectify the Muslims, Iblis and syaitan will whisper to the elders of Jemaah Tabligh to develop a new method or a new Tarikat which was not done by Prophet Muhammad saw. Iblis will whisper to the elders of Jemaah Tabligh, when Muslims join this Tarikat group they will certainly become rectified Muslims. With the advice of Iblis, the elders of Jemaah Tabligh make a tertib or procedures which must be followed strictly by all Muslims in all over the world. What is the tertib or procedures, if followed by all Muslims according to the elders of Jemaah Tabligh, Muslims will become rectified? Every Muslim must spend 4 months in the path of Allah at least once in their whole lifetime. What is actually not to be in the path of Allah is called by Jemaah Tabligh as to be in the path of Allah. When Muslims spend their time for 4 months as advised by Jemaah Tabligh they are not doing the work of calling people to Allah. It cannot be called as going in the path of Allah because they are not inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and they are not inviting the Muslims to obey the first order of Allah which is to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah.

Jemaah Tabligh is only interested in making Muslims to join their movement. In order to make Muslims to join their group, Jemaah Tabligh deceive the Muslims by saying to them that when they go out for 3 days or 40 days or 4 months they are actually going out in the path of Allah. In reality when they are going out either for 3 days or 40 days or 4 months, they are going out with the mission to perform only ibadah and to invite other Muslims to join their movement. They are not going in the path of Allah but they are going in the path of ibadah. Iblis is also very keen in making ibadah. They are not calling the people to Allah but they are calling people to their movement.  What they do while spending time for 3 days, 40 days and 4 months? They spend time mainly on solat, reading and listening to Hadis which are written in their Kitab of Fadhail Amal and many of the Hadis are weak or false Hadis, reading and learning about the Quran, learning about the adab of eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, listening to lectures and going out to visit Muslims in order to invite Muslims to listen to their lectures. At the end of the lecture they will ask Muslims to go out for 3 days, 40 days and 4 months and Iblis teaches them to deceive the Muslims by telling the Muslims that they are going in the path of Allah as done by Prophet Muhammad saw and the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw.  Jemaah Tabligh also tell those Muslims who have spent 4 months once in the whole lifetime to follow up the training by spending at least 40 days every year and 3 days every month. This tertib was neither told in the Quran nor in the Hadis saw nor done by the Companions of Prophet Muhammad saw.

If this tertib of Jemaah Tabligh is required to rectify the Muslims certainly Allah will mention it in the Quran and our Prophet Muhammad saw and the Companions of Prophet Muhammad saw will certainly follow and adopt the tertib in their lives. Are the elders of Jemaah Tabligh more knowledgeable than Prophet Muhammad saw? If it is not from the Quran and Hadis, where does this tertib come from? In my opinion this tertib must have come from the Iblis. A person may ask the question, if the tertib in Jemaah Tabligh come from the Iblis, why there are many Muslims including some Muslims scholars and educated Muslims join Jemaah Tabligh and follow the tertib introduced by Jemaah Tabligh? This is because many Muslims including those Muslims scholars and educated Muslims like me think and believe that the elders of Jemaah Tabligh are ulama or an alim who certainly will know correctly about the meaning of the Quran and Hadis. Many Muslims are in the opinion that they must follow the ulama or the alims if they want to be guided towards the correct path. Allah has ordered us to be in the company of the people who are truthful. Many Muslims believe that the ulama and the alims are the truthful.  Many Muslims believe that the truthful are those Muslims who have studied about Quran and Hadis for so many years in madrasah. When these Muslims who studied in the madrasah are qualified, all the Muslims will call them as ulama or an alim. Although in the Quran Allah has said that ulama mean those who fears Allah but all Muslims call all those who have graduated from madrasah as ulama and alim. All Muslims believe that all ulama or alim are believers and therefore they cannot be deceived by the devil syaitan. This is the reason why some Muslims including the knowledgeable ones like me previously chose to follow ulama or an alim blindly.

Many Muslims think that they are not in the position to question the actions of their ulama. Many Muslims think, they do not have knowledge to question the actions of their ulama and many Muslims choose only to follow their ulama blindly. Many Muslims believe that all ulama are the waris of Prophet Muhammad saw and therefore the ulama will not deceive the Muslims. Iblis knows Muslims will follow their ulama blindly. Iblis has made Muslims to elevate the status of their ulama to be the same as the status of Prophet Muhammad saw. Iblis knows Muslims will follow and do whatever told by their ulama. Therefore Iblis knows that if the ulama of the Muslims are deviated from the correct path, all the Muslims will be easily deviated from the correct path. How does Iblis deceive the ulama of the Muslims from the correct path? Iblis knows that he will not be able to deceive the ulama of Muslims if they are believers. The first thing Iblis will do to the ulama of Muslims is to prevent them from becoming believers. How to prevent the ulama from becoming believers?  Iblis will prevent the ulama of Muslims from doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah in the same way as shown by Prophet Muhammad saw. Once the ulama of Muslims are not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw, the Great Kalimah will not enter the hearts of the ulama of the Muslims.

When the Great Kalimah is not in the heart of the ulama of Muslims, they will love the worldly things more than they love Allah and they will not become believers. When the ulama of Muslims are not believers, they become easily deceived by the Iblis and syaitan. Iblis and syaitan will tell the ulama to learn about Islam and to teach about Islam to other Muslims, to call azan and to argue with the non-Muslims about Islam are all the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. In actual fact, the true meaning ofinviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evil as explained by the companion Hazrat Abdullah Ibnu Abass means to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. Good also means to invite Muslims to obey the orders of Allah and the first order of Allah is to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah. How could ulama of Muslims make a wrong interpretation of the Quran? Ulama can make a wrong interpretation of the Quran when they are not believers. When they are not believers they are not alim. When the ulama of Muslims are not believers, Allah will not give them the understanding of the Quran.  When all the ulama of Muslims do not have the understanding the Quran they will follow the wrong path. When the ulama of Muslims follow the wrong path, all the Muslims will also follow the wrong path. Iblis work very hard to deceive the ulama of the Muslims because Iblis knows once the ulama are deviated from the true path all the Muslims in all over the world will automatically become deviated from the true path too.

Now, Iblis is very happy. Iblis is happy because Iblis is able to deceive the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh and the followers of Jemaah Tabligh. Once the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh are deviated from the correct path, all the Muslims in Jemaah Tabligh including me will also be deviated from the correct path. Iblis is thinking of using Jemaah Tabligh as a mean to deviate all the rest of the Muslims who want to practice Islam in the whole world from the correct path. I am sure Iblis is not happy on the day I have decided to leave Jemaah Tabligh and to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. I am also sure that Iblis is not happy with this article and other articles of mine which try to expose the deviations that occur in Jemaah Tabligh. When I wrote the first article, which exposes the true colour of Jemaah Tabligh in this blog, I was attacked by all the armies of Iblis in this whole world. Iblis was trying to tell the others that I was mad and mentally sick and that I was having riak and kibir. Maulana Saad of India was telling the others in Jemaah Tabligh that Dr Nasoha is mentally sick or under the influence of Jinns and he requested the members of Jemaah Tabligh to make prayers for my recovery. All the lies that Iblis used to paint to all the Prophets in the past are painted on me. When I decided to leave the work of Jemaah Tabligh and do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw, except of about less than twenty persons who wanted to remain with me doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw, the rest are all opted to be with the work of Jemaah Tabligh.

Those who opted to remain with Jemaah Tabligh accused me as being controlled by Jinns and that I was similar to Bashisah, who has turned infidels and who had been left by all of his followers after he wanted to marry the Jews women. Iblis is trying to prevent Muslims particularly from Jemaah Tabligh from reading the articles about Jemaah Tabligh in my blog. Iblis has whispered to the ears of their elder, Maulana Saad not to allow all the followers of Jemaah Tabligh to use the internet and to read my article in mthago.com. With this article I am sure there are many members of Jemaah Tabligh who will become very angry with me. Iblis will deceive them into believing that I am jealous of Jemaah Tabligh who has many followers. Iblis will tell them that Dr Nasoha is criticizing the work of Jemaah Tabligh because of hatred and jealousy. This is not true because the true friend will be honest to you on what your mistakes are and what the real truth is. The truth is always bitter. A true friend is the one who loves you and who will always tell the truth and who wants you to always be in the correct path. Iblis will tell them that Iblis is their friends and Dr Nasoha is their enemies. Allah tells us that Iblis is our enemies and the work of Iblis is to invite men to evil doings. I am not the enemy of the Muslims who wants to be in the correct path. I have been with the movement in search of the correct path for more than 30 years. I was also one of their syurah members for so many years and it is impossible for me to hate and to become enemy of the Muslims who are also in search of the correct path in Jemaah Tabligh. However I really hate Iblis and those who follow and obey Iblis in order to deceive the Muslims.

In about twenty years which is from 1976 to 1996, I was doing the work with the outcome to obtain more Muslims to join the work of Jemaah Tabligh. In 1997 with the grace of Allah, I changed the outcome of the work from the outcome of obtaining more Muslims to join the work to the outcome of obtaining more iman out of the work. I believe the more work I do and the longer time I do the work will enable me to obtain more iman. With more iman I believe I will be able to obey all the orders of Allah more correctly. With more orders of Allah I can perform correctly the more I should gain the love of Allah and the more I gain the love of Allah, the more Allah will take me out from all my problems in this world and the hereafter. In case my iman does not increase with more work I do and more longer time I take to do the work, it means the work which I am doing is not a correct work or the true work of Prophet Muhammad saw. When my iman is not increasing, my ability to obey all the orders of Allah will also not increasing and the Iove of Allah on me will also not increasing and Allah will not take me out from all the problems I have in this world and the hereafter.

This is the concept which is in accordance to the Quran and Sunnah. In the grave we will be asked about our iman and in mashyar we will be asked about our actions or amal. I could not find in the Quran or the Hadis which says in the hereafter Allah will ask men about the numbers of person whom men are able to obtain to do the work of inviting Muslims to good and forbidding Muslims from evils. After we have died we will be asked only about our iman and our actions or amals. The outcome of the work of Jemaah Tabligh is not according to the Quran and Hadis and certainly the outcomes must be whispered to the elders and members of Jemaah Tabligh by Iblis and syaitan. With this concept of iman as the outcome of the work, there are some who are interested to follow me in doing the work. When I changed my outcome from the outcome of obtaining more people to join Jemaah Tabligh to the outcome of obtaining more iman and more good amals, I was furiously attacked by the Iblis who in turn uses the members of Jemaah Tabligh to attack me.

In 1997, I was accused by the members of Jemaah Tabligh as trying to do the work of Jemaah Tabligh according to my mind and brain and not following their elders in India.  When the work which was done by me was brought to the mesyuarah of their elders in January 1998, even the elders of Jemaah Tabligh accused me as trying to introduce Bida’ah practices in Jemaah Tabligh. In my opinion, the elders of Jemaah Tabligh were not keen with the idea of Muslims should talk to each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah. Their elders only allowed me to proceed with the method of work which encourages Muslims to talk to each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah when all of the members of Malaysian syurah agree to the new method of work. It seems to me in Jemaah Tabligh the decision of their mesyuarah can override the order of Allah and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw. It is clearly said in the Quran and Hadis that Muslims must frequently remind each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah or about the truth or about Haq. In Jemaah Tabligh no one can obey the order of Allah and the practice of Prophet Muhammad saw regarding the work of Dakwah unless it has been approved by mesyuarah of their elders. It looks to me that the decision of the mesyuarah of their elders is above the Quran and the Hadis. Instead of following the desire of Allah and the Prophet saw, Iblis has deceived their elders to follow their desire.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 2

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

I started doing the work of Jemaah Tabligh in the year of 1976. I went to India and Pakistan for the 4 months outing in 1979. My aim was to find out whether the work of Jemaah Tabligh is the work of Prophet Muhammad saw or the work of the Indian Muslims. After completing the 4 months outing I have concluded that the work of Jemaah Tabligh is not the work of Prophet Muhammad saw but when compared to all other Islamic works available in the world during that time, the work of Jemaah Tabligh is the closest to the work of Prophet Muhammad saw especially meeting people to talk about islam. In 1996, I started to review the work of Jemaah Tabligh. I think it was about time I should review the outcome of the work after twenty years with Jemaah Tabligh. I was astonished to find out that I do not have a significant increase in my iman and amals after I have done the work for nearly twenty years. At that time I was already the members of the Syura or the highest committee of Jemaah Tabligh Malaysia. Everyday during the evening, I will spend time ether in the mosques or visiting the workers of Jemaah Tabligh in various localities in Kuala Lumpur or in Malaysia without fail. I have spent without fail the yearly 40 days and the monthly 3 days outing. I have spent many time 4 months outing either within or outside the country. I was able to give fiery bayan but I did not have the quality of iman or believe and amals expected in a worker who have done the Tabligh work, also known as the work of iman for twenty years.

When I started to assess my own quality of amals, I sincerely believe at that time that I did not have the quality of amals expected in a worker and a Syura member who has done the work with steadfastness and sacrifices for nearly twenty years. I was worried and I was restless. I cried and prayed to Allah to show me the correct work of Prophet Muhammad saw. I strongly believe that the quality of iman and actions can only be achieved with the true work of Prophet Muhammad saw. With restlessness I was telling myself that I cannot continue doing the work like the way I was doing. I believe that there is something wrong with the work. What is wrong with the work I did not know? In my opinion in case I continue doing the work the way I  have done it for the past twenty years I would end up in the next twenty years with the same level of iman and amals as I have started.  I was worried and the question, why my iman and amals did not increase even after doing the work for twenty years continue to ring in my ears. I was so worried and I was determined to find the solution for the question. I knew I have not achieved the outcome of the work which is the increase in the quality of iman and amals.

When I do not have the outcome of the work which suppose to be an increase of iman and amals it means that the work which I have done in the past twenty years was not right. If the work which I have done in the past twenty years was correct, certainly my iman and amals should have increased to a level expected of a worker who had done the work for nearly twenty years. During that time I had spent many nights in Masjid Seri Petaling and I used to wake up during the night to pray the tahajud solat and to make prayer to Allah. I used to pray to Allah to show me the correct way of doing the work of the prophet. While praying I forced myself to cry so that Allah will have pity on me and show me the correct work. During that time I started to think very seriously about the way on how to do the work correctly. Once, the elders of Jemaah Tabligh by the name of Meiji Mehrab who was a close disciple of Maulana Ilyas, said in one of his lectures in November 1996 at Raiwind, Pakistan that iman increases by speaking more to each other about the Greatness of Allah. I practiced what had been said by him among the Muslims who came to Masjid Seri Petaling but I found my iman did not increase as what had been told by him in his lecture.

I was puzzled. However, with the permission of Allah, one day I was given by Allah the opportunity to read one Hadis written in Fadhail Amal which said with approximate meaning that iman is renewed or increased by speaking more to each other about the meaning of the Kalimah Laailahaillallah. When I practiced as what has been said in the Hadis among the Tabligh workers who came to Masjid Seri Petaling, I still found that my iman did not increase. I became more puzzled with the outcome but I knew what had been said by Prophet Muhammad saw can never be wrong. With the grace of Allah, it came to my understanding that I did not probably obtain the outcome mention in the Hadis because the way I remind other Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah is not the way done by Prophet Muhammad saw. I was talking about the meaning of the Great Kalimah only to the Muslims who came to the mosque and who are respecting me as a Syura members and I did not talk about the meaning of the Great Kalimah to Muslims who are outside the mosques who do not know me and who do not respect me as a Syura.

I knew, Prophet Muhammad saw was reminding others about Allah by going to the people. Prophet Muhammad saw did not remind others about Allah by giving lectures in the mosques. When I started reminding other Muslims about the meaning of the Kalimah the way done by Prophet Muhammad saw then only I experienced an increase of my iman as said by Prophet Muhammad saw in the Hadis. After praying the fajar solat in the mosque, I will go with one or two Muslim brothers to the houses of the Muslims in my locality to remind them about the meaning of the Kalimah. I went to every house of the Muslims in every lane in my locality. And, I was convinced that the choice of words that we use while reminding others must be correct and the way we remind others must also be correct.

What are the correct words? At that time I understand the correct words are the words that we use to call others to Allah. At that time I understand the word to call others to Allah means to call them to Laailahaillallah. In order to make sure the choice of words that we use to remind other Muslims about Allah is correct I used to write a script. In my opinion, if actors and actresses in a movie have scripts to remember so that the roles that they play in the movie will look real and alive, similarly Muslim who are doing the work of reminding other Muslims about Allah are also actors. In this case they are trying to play the role of Prophet Muhammad saw in reminding other Muslims about Allah. In my opinion, without scripts and guide, the work to remind other Muslims about Allah would be very difficult to many Muslims.

I started to develop scripts to help Muslims to remind other Muslims about the meaning of the Kalimah. They were very small number of the workers of Jemaah Tabligh who agreed with the idea to use scripts while the majority of them disagreed with the idea. Why did they disagree with the use of scripts when reminding other Muslims? They disagree with the use of the scripts in reminding Muslims because the scripts were formulated by me and not by their elders in Nizammuddin, India. All rules and regulations about the workof Jemaah Tabligh must come from the elders in Nizammuddin India and not from any others in the world. They believe only their elders in Nizammuddin and nobody else in the world understands the meaning of Quran and Hadis correctly. According to them all Muslims in this whole world must follow their elder in Nizammuddin blindly. In order to ensure the work of Jemaah Tabligh does not follow the Quran and Hadis, Iblis teaches them one very important rule; all members of Jemaah Tabligh must remain united even if they had to break the usuls or tertib of the work. Even if the new tertib which is being introduced into Jemaah Tabligh follow Quran and Hadis, but if that new tertib causes disunity among the workers of Jemaah Tabligh, then the new tertib must be discarded from Jemaah Tabligh. Iblis teaches Jemaah Tabligh to remain united even if they have to disobey the order of Allah. Iblis has deceived them into the belief that unity is far more important than to uphold the orders of Allah.

During that time, many criticized me for trying to do the work using my own brain and not following the elders in India. When I tried to introduce the work with script which I had developed to the members of Jemaah Tabligh in Kuantan, Malaysia, I was heavily attacked and criticized by some of the members of Jemaah Tabligh. It causes commotion and uproar among the workers of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia and the matters had to be brought to the attention of their elders in January 1998 at Dacca, Bangladesh. The elders of Jemaah Tabligh decided that such method of work can only be introduced into the work of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia if all the Syura of Malaysia unanimously agreed with the method. Since I knew that all other members of the Syura of Malaysia certainly will not agree with the new method I introduced, as such I did not bring the matters to be discussed with other Syura of Malaysia. I have decided to do the work with the new method which I strongly believe will increase my iman and amals regardless of the decision of the elders of Jemaah Tabligh and the opinion of the other Syura of Malaysia.

Since September 1997, I was spending about one to two hours in the early morning before I went to my office for visiting every house of the Muslims in my locality and remind them about the meaning of the Kalimah. I was doing the work only in my locality, which is in Taman Greenwood, Gombak, Malaysia.  I told to the workers of Jemaah Tabligh who wanted to learn about the new method of work which will increase their iman to come to my locality. I told them that I will not teach the new method of work which will increase their iman at Masjid Seri Petaling. I did not want to teach the new method of work at Masjid Seri Petaling which is the markas of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia because all the other Syura members did not agree with the new method of work. Those members of Jemaah Tabligh who are interested to learn the new method of work which increase iman will come to my locality to learn the work. Until July 2009 there were about three hundred or more peoples who have learned and did the work with me which I believe with the permission of Allah will increase our iman.

What is the main content of the scripts? The main content of the scripts is about the meaning of the Kalimah, the work of the Prophet and the adherence to the performance of five time’s daily prayers. We invite Muslims to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and to perform five times daily prayers but others in Jemaah Tabligh invite Muslims to spend times either for 3 days or 40 days or 4 months with their movement.  In Jemaah Tabligh, everyone is allowed to talk on whatever topic they like because the main outcome of their work is not to increase their iman but to prepare Muslims to join their Jemaah. In reality, increase of iman is not the outcome of the work of Jemaah Tabligh. The outcome of their work is to prepare new Muslims to join their Jemaah. When they are able to prepare new Muslims to join their Jemaah either for 3 days or 40 days or 4 months, they believe they have achieved the outcome of their work and they become very proud of their achievement. When their elders give lecture or bayan, their elders will say to the Muslims that the outcome of their work is to increase their iman but in practical the outcome of their work is not to increase iman but to recruit new members. The more new members they can obtain to join the Jemaah the more successful they think they become.

The first question that their elders will ask to any Jemaah that come back to their centers is whether the Jemaah is able or not to obtain new recruits to join the Jemaah. Iblis has turned the outcome of Tabligh work to follow the outcome of any organization in this world and not to follow the outcome as Allah wishes, which is the increase of iman and amals. Iblis deceived them into believing that they are doing Tabligh or Dakwah but in reality they are only a Tarikat group who works very hard to increase the number of Muslims in all over the world to join their Tarikat movement. As other Tarikat, Jemaah Tabligh is also a misleading Tarikat because it is not the Tarikat of Prophet Muhammad saw. Iblis and syaitan deceived them from making iman and amals as the outcome of their work and they make the increase in numbers of Muslims who join their movement as the outcome of their work. When they have many followers, Iblis and syaitan will make them proud of their numbers and will tell them that they are in the correct path because they have many followers all over the world.

Whenever any non-Muslim embraces Islam, Iblis and syaitan will tell them that it is due to their Tabligh works which make Allah to give guidance to those non-Muslims who embrace Islam. Iblis will tell them not to invite the non-Muslims to Islam directly as done by Prophet Muhammad saw but to show only good behaviours or akhlak to the non-Muslims. Iblis and syaitan whisper to their ears by saying to them that it is not the time yet for Muslims to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah but we only need to show to the non-Muslims good behaviours. Iblis tell them to rectify the Muslims first by asking them to join the work of Jemaah Tabligh for 3 days or 40 days or 4 months. Iblis advises Jemaah Tabligh to tell other Muslims not to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah unless the non-Muslims themselves want to become Muslims. Is this order of Jemaah Tabligh come from the Quran and Hadis? Or does this order come from Iblis the imposter? I think it comes from the imposter Iblis. There are members of Jemaah Tabligh who call me an imposter when I am spending time everyday to invite Muslims and the non-Muslims to the truth. In my opinion, the real imposters are Iblis and Jemaah Tabligh who follows Iblis, because the work of imposters is to prevent men from reciting or reminding each other about the Great Kalimah.

DEVIL SYAITAN AND MEN’S DESIRE– PART 1

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

Devil syaitan are our real enemies. Allah told us that syaitan are our enemies. Allah told us also not to make syaitan as our friends. Men are not our enemies. Men will only become our enemies when men are under the control of Iblis and syaitan. How Iblis and syaitan become our enemies? What is the goal of the work of Iblis and syaitan? Iblis and syaitan have only one goal to achieve. The goal of Iblis and syaitan is to bring the whole mankind to hellfire. When men enter hellfire and deprived from paradise, men have become unsuccessful. Iblis and syaitan want all men to become unsuccessful.  All men will enter hellfire when they do evil practices and are not able to make taubah and repentance before they die. What are evil practices? Evil practices are; when men are not accepting Allah as the only God and Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah; when men who have accepted the Great Kalimah disobey all the orders of Allah; and when men who have accepted the Great Kalimah but obey the orders of Allah not in the ways of our Prophet Muhammad saw. How do Iblis and syaitan destroy men? Syaitan and Iblis destroy men by persuading them to do evil practices. Whoever persuade others to do evil practices are doing the work of syaitan.

Now there are about seven billion peoples in this world. There are about one billion peoples who have recited the Great Kalimah. About six billion peoples have not recited the Great Kalimah. In case the six billion peoples who have not recited the Great Kalimah die without reciting the Great Kalimah, they will enter hellfire. I think there are more than three quarter of the one billion Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah disobey almost all the orders of Allah. In case they die without able to make taubah they also will enter hellfire. I think about less than one quarter of the one billion Muslims are obeying the orders of Allah. Unfortunately many of them are obeying the order of Allah not in the ways of our Prophet Muhammad saw. In case they died without able to make taubah they will also enter hellfire. I think there is a very small percent of those Muslims who have obeyed the order of Allah in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw and if they become believer before they die they will go straight into paradise. Those Muslims of this group who die before they become believers, Allah with His grace will make them believers after they have died and they also will go straight into paradise. Iblis and syaitan will not let anyone to enter paradise and Iblis and syaitan are working hard to take the whole mankind into the hellfire.

Iblis is our real enemies and Iblis is working hard to destroy men. Syaitan and Iblis are able to destroy men when they are able to bring men to enter hellfire. Syaitan and Iblis are working hard to destroy men. Iblis does not destroy men by using atomic bomb or intercontinental ballistic missiles. Iblis destroy men by inviting them to do evil practices. What men do to protect themselves from being destroyed by syaitan and Iblis? Many men do not know who their real enemies are. Allah told us that our real enemies are the syaitan. Because many men do not know that their real enemies are syaitan, instead of protecting themselves from the attack of the syaitan, many men become the friend of syaitan.  Because many men do not use the weapon to protect them from the attack of the syaitan, many men are being destroyed by syaitan. What is the weapon to protect men from the attack of the syaitan? The weapon that can be used by men to destroy Iblis and syaitan is, to invite the whole mankind to recite the Great Kalimah and to invite those who have accepted the Great Kalimah to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding men from doing the evils and to make istigfar and taubah. Muslims are not using these two weapons which can destroy Iblis and syaitan. Iblis on the other hand is trying hard to prevent Muslims from using the weapons which can destroy Iblis and syaitan. Muslims are not using the weapons to destroy Iblis and syaitan. Iblis and syaitan are using their weapons to destroy men. We are at war with Iblis and syaitan but we do not know that we are at war with Iblis and syaitan. We are at war with the syaitan but we are not using our weapons to destroy our enemies. On the other hand the Iblis and syaitan are using their weapons almost twenty four hours daily to destroy men.

Azazil is a genie who was a Muslim. He used to perform prayers and zikir to Allah. Azazil was a learned Muslim and a teacher to all the angels. Azazil was a very proud genie. He was proud, because he was a learned Muslim who was also the teacher to all the angels. Azazil regard himself as the best creature in this universe. Azazil was not an alim and neither was a believer. Because Azazil was not an alim or a believer he was easily deceived by his desires. The desire of an alim or a believer is only to have the love of Allah. An alim is not easily deceived by his wrong desires and syaitan. The desire of Azazil is not to have the love of Allah but to become Khalifah. Azazil was performing ibadah with the intention to become Khalifah and not with the intention to please Allah. Azazil had the desire to become a person of power and status but he has no desire to have the love of Allah. All the ibadah of Iblis was not accepted by Allah because Iblis had associated Allah with other than Allah. Azazil was deceived by his wrong desire. All men should know that their wrong desires are their main enemies. Azazil becomes Iblis because he was deceived by his desires. When anyone either men or jinn follows their wrong desires they become syaitan and Iblis.

Azazil knew that Allah wanted to create a new creation name Adam. Azazil knew that Allah wanted to makes Adam as the Khalifah. Azazil dislikes the idea to make Adam as the Khalifah of Allah because he himself wanted to become the Khalifah. Azazil pleaded to the angels to try to persuade Allah not to create Adam. When the angels requested Allah not to create Adam, Allah told to the angel that He knows what the angel does not know. When Allah had chosen Adam as the Khalifah, Azazil became very angry and frustrated with Allah. Allah knew that Azazil wanted to become the Khalifah and because of that Azazil was not chosen to become the Khalifah. Allah knew Azazil had kibir or riak inside his heart. Allah loves Azazil as He loves all of His other creations. Allah wanted to remove the disease of riak or kibir from the heart of Azazil. In order to remove the riak and kibir from the heart of Azazil, Allah ordered Azazil to prostrate to Adam. All the angels except Azazil prostrate to Adam. When Azazil did not prostrate to Adam, the kibir or riak in the heart of Azazil was not removed by Allah. Azazil was cursed by Allah and he became syaitan. When Azazil became syaitan, his name is Iblis. Azazil disobey the order of Allah and not willing to make taubah and istigfar because he was neither a believer nor an alim. Believers or alims also disobey the order of Allah but when believers or alims are reminded about their disobedience to the order of Allah they will immediately makes taubah and istigfar. Muslims scholars who are easily deceived by their desires or by the syaitan and Iblis, in reality they are not ulama or alim but only ahli kitab. Nowadays Muslims call those ahli kitab as ulama or alim. Iblis and syaitan are using those ahli kitab to deviate Muslims from the correct path. All ulama or alim are believers and all believers are alim or ulama.  They are protected by Allah. Ulama or alims are not easily deceived either by their desires or by Iblis and syaitan.

Allah asked Iblis the reason for his disobedience. Azazil told Allah that he disobeys the order of Allah to prostrate to Adam because he is superior to Adam. He told Allah that he is superior to Adam because he was created from fire whereas Adam was created from dried clay which has no taste and colour. All excuses of Azazil for not obeying the order of Allah are not accepted by Allah. We can deduce from the excuses given by Azazil and the action done by Azazil (not to prostrate to Adam), that Azazil is having the disease of riak or kibir. There are many men and jinn who also disobey the order of Allah but their disobedience were not due to kibir or riak. Azazil disobeyed the order of Allah because he thinks and believes that he is superior to Adam. Some members of Jemaah Tabligh make a deduction that Dr Nasoha has riak and kibir because Dr Nasoha shows to others in the Facebook and YouTube that he is visiting the non-Muslims to ask them to recite the Great Kalimah and visiting the Muslims to remind them about the Great Kalimah and to invite them to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. Some members of Jemaah Tabligh also make a deduction that Dr Nasoha has riak and kibir because Dr Nasoha did not obey the decision of their elders in Nizammuddin.

What was the decision of their elders? Their elders decided that if Dr Nasoha wanted to give lectures to the members of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia and to become the syurah members of Jemaah Tabligh who can make decision during the mesyuarah of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia, Dr Nasoha should not do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to become Muslims. I decided to disobey the decision of their elders because I wanted to continue with the work of inviting the non-Muslims to become Muslims. Many in Jemaah Tabligh believe I had the disease of riak and kibir and because of that I disobey the decision of their elders. Many in Jemaah Tabligh think that I was having riak and kibir because while I was in their Jemaah I used to hold the status of a syurah for so many years. Since the year of 1980 I was made one of the syurah for the city of Kuala Lumpur. At that time I was only 25 years old and I was not even married. Since the year of 1994, I was made as one of the syurah for Malaysia. While I was in their Jemaah I often gave lectures or bayan in many of their ijtimak. In Jemaah Tabligh, I was always in the limelight and I was always very popular. Because I was always popular and in the limelight, many members of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia, particularly ustaz or the so called ulama, some members of Malaysian syurah and many of the old workers became so jealous of my popularity. At one time one of the imams of Masjid Seri Petaling by the name of Ustaz Hamid came to me while I was delivering a lecture or bayan in Masjid Seri Petaling and ordered me to recite the Great Kalimah. I was asked by him to recite the Great Kalimah, in front of all the audience of about four thousand peoples. According to him in my lecture or bayan I had uttered words which ridicule the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw and according to him I had become a non-Muslim. He wanted me to recite the Great Kalimah so that I become Muslim again. All praise is to Allah, I have uttered the Great Kalimah with the intention to please Allah.

Many in Jemaah Tabligh are jealous of my popularity and whenever they found any discrepancy in the tertib of work which I was doing they will immediately report to their elders. They hope with such actions, they will be able to discredit me in the eyes of their elders. However all their work to discredit me was unsuccessful and I was still popular with their elders. Some of their elders even regard me as synonymous to Malaysia. Their elders often told to others that Dr Nasoha is Malaysia and Malaysia is Dr Nasoha. When I disobeyed the order of their elders, many accused me as having riak and kibir and many even call me Iblis and syaitan. They call me Iblis and syaitan because to them, I disobey the order of Allah when I disobey the order of their elders. Members of Jemaah Tabligh regard the disobedience to the order of their elders is the same as the disobedience to the order of Allah. In other words they regard their elders to be at the same level as Prophet Muhammad saw. Jemaah Tabligh wants everyone in Jemaah Tabligh to obey their elders blindly as Muslims have to obey Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw blindly.

Jemaah Tabligh thinks of me to be the same as Iblis and that I have riak and kibir. In my opinion what they think about me, is wrong. Firstly, I am obeying the order of Allah by inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah while Iblis was disobeying the order of Allah. I do not think any members of Jemaah Tabligh will ever dare to say to me that the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah is not an order of Allah. Their elders do not allow them to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah because according to their elders, nowadays Muslims are not capable of doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. Although I was disobeying the order of their elders but in fact I am obeying the order of Allah. When I obey the order of Allah it means I was not deceived by Iblis and syaitan. It also means I am a believer and I am sincere in my decision to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Actually Iblis and syaitan was using Maulana Saad and their elders in Nizammuddin to deceive me into disobeying the order of Allah. All praise is to Allah who protects me from being deceived by the Iblis and syaitan. This incident shows that I am a believer, I am not having riak and kibir, and I am protected by Allah from Iblis and syaitan.

All believers do not have riak or kibir in their heart because the sins of riak and kibir are similar to the sins of syirik. Muslims who have become believers have no syirik in their hearts. Muslims who have not become believers may have kibir and riak in their hearts. Muslim who has not become believers is also easily deceived by Iblis and syaitan. Muslims who are deceived by syaitan will disobey the orders of Allah. When Muslims obey the order of Allah it means they are not being deceived by syaitan. Allah makes syaitan and Iblis to become the friends or advisers to those Muslims who have syirik inside their hearts.  Secondly I did not give the reason for my disobedience because as Iblis said to Adam I am better than their elders. I disobeyed the order of their elders, because the order of their elders is contradictory to the order of Allah. Jemaah Tabligh also thinks that I am having riak and kibir. Jemaah Tabligh is thinking I am having riak and kibir because I allow my video of visiting the peoples to be displayed in the Facebook and YouTube. They must know the reasons why I have allowed my video to be displayed in the Facebook and YouTube?  It is to enable others in all over the world to learn to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to learn to do the work of reminding the Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to remind the Muslims to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah.

Prophet Muhammad saw said with approximate meaning; remember Allah abundantly (obey the orders of Allah) until the munafikin will say to you that you are ahli riak. I think as the Hadis says, the people of Jemaah Tabligh who are saying to me that I am ahli riak are the munafikin. Munafikin are non-Muslims who look as Muslims but in the eyes of Allah, they are kafir or infidels. Iblis and syaitan deceive Jemaah Tabligh into using only the old traditional methods of writing books and giving lectures in the mosques in spreading Islam. Their elders do not believe in using computer and internet as extra tools to spread Islam. What is the basis use by their elders for not allowing Jemaah Tabligh to use internet to spread the words of Allah? Are there any verses in the Quran or Hadis that forbid Muslims from using the internet? Why do their elders forbid their followers from using the internet when Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw do not forbid Muslims from using the internet to spread the words of Allah? Allah has made Iblis to become the adviser to the elders of Jemaah Tabligh because their elders have syirik in their hearts.

WHAT IS THE FIRST ORDER OF ALLAH?

sunsetwater

It sounds unbelievable that Muslims until now are still not very clear what the first order of Allah is. When a person embrace Islam what will be the first order of Allah that he or she should do. Many Muslims think that the first order of Allah is to do the five times daily solat and so whenever a person becomes a Muslim the first order that the person is asked to do is to perform five times daily solat. Is it true that the first order of Allah is to perform five times daily solat or the first order of Allah is to convey the Great Kalimah that is I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah to those who has not accepted the Great Kalimah.

The first verse in Surah Iqra was the first verse revealed to the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w while the Prophet was meditating in the cave. The verse has the approximate meaning….Read…In the name of your Lord that has created man…that has created men from a clump of blood. Many Muslims think that this verse means Allah has ordered the Muslims to learn how to read. Many Muslims believe that the first order of Allah is to read and they interpret to read as an order to seek knowledge. Is this interpretation is in accordance to Sunnah or an interpretation that comes from our own minds. We cannot interpret any verse of the Quran using our own minds but we must interpret the verse of the Quran using Sunnah. Sunnah means what the Prophet did after receiving the verse. Did the Prophet s.a.w after receiving the verse go on to learn how to read or to seek knowledge? The Prophets did not go to seek knowledge or to learn how to write and read after receiving the verse but instead the Prophet s.a.w went straight home in a state of fear and at home, the Prophet s.a.w laid down and asked his beloved wife Siti Khatijah to cover his body with a blanket. The prophet s.a.w was in a state of fear, as the incident that has just happened to him was the first he has ever experienced in his life. His beloved wife comforted him by saying that Almighty Allah will not do any harm or injustice to him, as he, the Prophet has always been a nice and good person. While he was lying at home with the blanket covering him then came the verse…the meaning approximately like this …Oh you who clad in blanket… wake up … remind the people that you Lord is Great.

The first verse revealed to the Prophet is not to order the Prophet s.a.w to go and seek knowledge or to learn how to read and write. Allah has made the Prophet s.a.w unable to read and write until the day he passed away. Allah did this so that the entire humanity knows that the Holy Quran is not the writing of Muhammad but it is the words of Allah. Prophets s.a.w had never learned how to write and read but it does not mean that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is ignorant. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is highly knowledgeable and he learned directly from Allah the owner of all knowledge .The first verse is to introduce Allah as the Creator of man and to introduce Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah. It is not the verse to order the Muslim to seek knowledge, as many of us tend to believe. The second verse revealed to the Prophet is the verse to order the Prophet s.a.w and his followers to remind the people about the greatness of Allah. The second verse is the verse of order and the first order of Allah to the Muslims is to do the work of dakwah or to call the people to the greatness of Allah.

The Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said in the meaning conveys to others what you know, even though you know only one verse. When a person embraces Islam, the first verse that he or she knows is the Great Kalimah and the first duty that he or she must do is to convey the Great Kalimah to others who has not recited the Kalimah. This order is obligatory to all Muslims men and women. When Abu Bakar may Allah be pleased with him embrace Islam the first thing that he did after embracing Islam was to deliver the Great Kalimah to others. The act of conveying the Great Kalimah to others is call the work of dakwah or tabligh and it is the first order of Allah. When we are conveying the Great Kalimah to others who has not recited the Kalimah then they bear witness to our recital of the Kalimah. When they also recite the Kalimah then we bear witness to the recital of the Kalimah. When we do this we are doing the actions of the first pillar of Islam. The first pillar of Islam is to bear witness that there is no God except Allah and to bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah.

Muslims have understood that the first pillar of Islam is only to recite the Great Kalimah only once in a lifetime. Muslims understood that once a person have recited the Great Kalimah and the recital has been witness by another Muslims  then that person has already done the first pillar of Islam and he or she does not have to do it anymore until he or she dies. After reciting the Great Kalimah then the newly embraced Muslim brother or sister will be told to perform the second pillar of Islam that is to do five times daily solat every day. The second pillar of Islam is to perform five times solat everyday but the first pillar of Islam is to recite the Great Kalimah only once in a lifetimes. It seems that Muslims have to do the second pillar more than the first pillar of Islam. It does not sound logical that the first most important pillar of Islam has to be done only once in a lifetimes while the second pillar of Islam has to be done five times daily until death. It is surprising that Muslims are not questioning this seemingly illogical point in the most important principles in Islam. The five pillars of Islam are the most important basic principles in Islam. No one can become good Muslims without performing all the five pillars of Islam and the most important pillar among the five pillars is the first pillar.

The first pillar of Islam is not only to recite the Great Kalimah in the presence of a witness only once in lifetimes but after reciting the Kalimah he or she has to fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. What is the right of the Kalimah? The right of the Kalimah is to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and they bear witness to our recital of the Kalimah, and when the non-Muslims also recite the Great Kalimah, we bear witness to their recital of the Kalimah. This is the first order of Allah, this is the first pillar of Islam, and it is the work of Prophet or the work of dakwah. In other words, the work of Prophet or the work of dakwah is the first order of Allah to the person who has embraced Islam and this is in line to what Prophet Muhammad s.a.w has asked Abu Bakar may Allah be pleased with him to do after he had embraced Islam. What Prophet did was what Allah wants us to do. Since the work of Prophet is the first pillar of Islam, all Muslim must do the work of Prophet for at least forty-five minutes every day and they should only stop from doing the work of Prophet the day when they die.

When Muslims do the work of Prophets then their iman will become strong. When their iman is strong, the Muslims can obey all the orders of Allah in the ways shown by Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. The Muslims will have the behavior like Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and they will become the examples upon which the entire humanity will like to follow. When the Muslims do not do the work of Prophet, as it is now then the Muslims will have weak iman and they are not able to obey all the commandments of Allah in the ways shown by our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. The Muslims will not have the behavior like Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and they will be look down by the entire humanity as peoples who are disgraced and humiliated. The only reason why the Muslims are in this condition is that they do not fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah when Allah the Most Merciful and Compassionate has blessed them with this Great Kalimah.

TRIP TO DANAU TOBA AND ACEH TENGGARA, INDONESIA

aceh1

We took our flight to Medan in the morning of Friday on the first February 2013. Our destination was a small village of our friend, Diki, known as Lawe Loning Harapan in Aceh Tenggara of Northern Sumatra. Our friend, Diki was waiting for us at the airport of Medan and with him there were two vans which will take us to his village. According to Diki, the whole journey to his village will take about seven hours. When our vans were cruising along the winding roads from Medan to Aceh Tenggara we could realize how beautiful the roads in Malaysia are. Immediately I realized that Malaysians will only feel thankful to Allah over the bounties which are given to all Malaysians when they are made to travel along the winding roads in remote Indonesia and Cambodia. In many remote areas of Indonesia such as Bengkulu and Aceh Tenggara, all the roads are not well maintained and there are so many holes all along the roads. Although there were very few cars moving along the road but all of them were moving at a very slow speed. All the cars had to move at a very slow speed because there were so many pot holes on the roads which were filled with water. When our vans were cruising along the roads I could observe that there were also many heavy trucks which carry heavy loads of goods using the roads. I think the heavy trucks which carry the heavy loads of goods and together with the poor quality of the material used to make the road, had caused many roads in remote areas of Indonesia to have many pot holes.

As we drove along the roads of Indonesia with so many pot holes we could realize how fortunate Malaysians are to have a country with many beautiful roads which cover almost the whole country. I would like to suggest to those who are not thankful to live in such a beautiful country with beautiful roads as Malaysia to try to live either in Indonesia or Cambodia. Many Malaysians are driving their cars along Malaysian highways beyond the specified speed and there are some irresponsible Malaysians who even use our roads for racing. I would like to suggest to these irresponsible Malaysian to come to this remote areas of Indonesia and to observe with their own eyes the suffering and the poverty of the people of Indonesia. As we drove along the extremely winding roads with so many pot holes of Indonesia, we missed the joy of driving in Malaysia. Our vans as well all the other cars which were using the roads were moving very slow and the whole journey in my opinion is tiring and troublesome. Our journey from Medan to Lawe Loning in Aceh Tenggara took almost seven to eight hours which in my opinion in Malaysia will only take about three hours. I have been traveling to Indonesia for so many times and in general in my opinion, all the roads in Indonesia are poorly maintained and some of the main roads are not maintained at all. Why are the roads not maintained in Indonesia? Is Indonesia a poor country? Many would think that Indonesia is not a poor country because Indonesia has many natural resources and in my opinion the natural resources which Indonesia has could probably be more than the natural resources which Malaysia has.

While I was traveling along the roads which are poorly maintained in Indonesia, I was thinking about the possibility of some rich country like Malaysia, Brunei and some of the Arab countries to help to repair all the main roads in the remote areas of Indonesia. It appears to me as if there is no such steps being taken at all by the rich Muslims countries in the world to help their Muslims brothers and sisters who live in such poor Muslims countries like Indonesia and some of the Muslims countries in Africa. Is Indonesia really a poor Muslims country? Many may not agree with me that Indonesia is a poor country. However when I visited the remote areas of Indonesia such as Aceh Tenggara, I am now convinced that Indonesia is indeed a poor country. Although Indonesia appears to me to be a poor country but I think the land in Indonesia is very fertile and even more fertile than the lands in Malaysia. I saw with my own eyes that the cocoa plant grown easily in between their houses in Lawe Loning. In this area of Aceh Tenggara, most of the people are farmers and they grow cocoa which they told me that they are growing ‘chocolates’. What was the reason I went to this remote area of Indonesia? We were invited by our friend Diki to his village in order to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. While we were in his village we station our work in the small surau of the village. The small surau has a toilet but without a door and with the grace of Allah I asked one of my companion Azdi Abbas to sponsor the cost of repairing the door of the toilet. The supply of water for the surau came from the mountain and the water was really cold and clean.

The village is divided into two parts by a road. The area on the upper side of the road is occupied mainly by the Muslims and the area on the lower side of the road is occupied mainly by the Christians. We were using the surau as the centre of our mission and from the surau we formed groups of two and three persons and each group will go to every house in the villages and irrespective whether they are Muslims or they are Christians. When we met Christians we invited them to recite the Great Kalimah and when met Muslims we reminded them about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and we invited the Muslims to obey the first and the second orders of Allah which is the order to invite mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and the order to perform the five times daily prayers. In my opinion, generally all the people in the village were nice and kind to us. During the two days we were in the village, we had never encountered any harsh treatment from anyone in the village whether they are Muslims or they are Christians. However on the second day we were in the village the imam of the mosque came to meet us in the surau advising us to stop inviting the Christians to embrace Islam. He was worried that the Christians may cause trouble to the Muslims in the village. The imam reiterated to us that Indonesia is not the same as Malaysia. He said to us that Malaysia is an Islamic country whereas Indonesia is a Pancasila country. When the imam said to us that Malaysia is an Islamic country, I felt very fortunate that I am Malay and a Muslims who live in Malaysia. Others in Indonesia are recognizing Malaysia as an Islamic country whereas there are others in Malaysia who is trying to deny the fact that Malaysia is an Islamic country. The imam was trying to explain to us that the work of inviting the Christians to embrace Islam cannot be done in Indonesia, because Indonesia is a country which makes Pancasila as the principle to be followed by all Indonesians. In Pancasila a person who belongs to any religion is prohibited from inviting others who belong to other religion to embrace their religion. Pancasila was a principle designed by the leaders of Indonesia in order to attain unity from among her citizens with varied races and religion.

However in my opinion, only the Muslims in Indonesia which adhere to the principle of Pancasila but the Christians of Indonesia are not willing to adhere to Pancasila. All the Muslims which about 85% in Indonesia, including their religious scholars are obeying Pancasila very strictly and because the Muslims in Indonesia are following Pancasila they are not inviting the people of other religion to embrace Islam but the Christians in Indonesia are not obeying Pancasila but obeying the bible and the Christians in Indonesia since many decades have been actively inviting the people of other religion including Muslims to embrace Christianity. When the Christians in Indonesia are asked by the Muslims for the reasons why they invite others who belong to other religion including Muslims to embrace Christianity, they answered to the Muslims that it is the order of their God and it is written in the bible that Christians must invite others who are not Christians to embrace Christianity. In Indonesia, all religions are regarded to be the same and no one is allowed to invite others who have a religion to embrace other religion. In Indonesia all religions are regarded to be the same and that include Islam, Hindu, Buddha, Judaism and Christianity. Others in Indonesia who do not belong to this five religion are regarded as having no religion and only they can be invited to embrace a religion. The imam of the mosque came to the surau during the time of solat Magrib and he became the imam of the solat of Magrib. Immediately after the Magrib prayer he stood up and gave a lecture to all of us. He was speaking in a very soft and kind word but in short the content of his speech was to politely requesting us to leave the village. When we had performed the Isyah prayer in the surau we decided to leave the village and to continue our journey to the Samosir Island in the middle of Danau Toba.

In this article I would like to describe to you also the foods that we were eating when we were in Lawe Loning, Indonesia. When we were in the village for about two days, our food was cooked by the family members of our friend, Diki. We collected some money and we gave the money to the family members of Diki to buy foods and to cook the food for us. What surprised me was the costs of foods in Indonesia were expensive as or even more expensive than in Malaysia. During the two days we were in the village of Lawe Loning we ate mainly chickens and the meat of the chickens was very hard to chew. I was told by our friend Diki that the villagers were so surprised to see us eating chicken everyday, when they on the other hand can only eat chicken, once in a year. When I heard this from Diki, I felt so fortunate to be living in Malaysia and to be able to eat rice with chicken, meat and fish almost everyday. We in Malaysia are having so much food to satisfy our hunger and having so many types of drinks to quench our thirst. In this neighbouring country of ours, the people are not having much food to eat and they can only drink tea as a luxury drink. I am sure those Indonesians who used to live in Malaysia for so many years would not like to go back to their country to live and if they are forced to go back to their country by the Malaysian authority I am quite sure they will try to find ways on how to come back and live in this beautiful and prosperous country of Malaysia. Why the people in Indonesia live in poverty while their neighbours who live in Malaysia, live in abundance? Why the Indonesians live in poverty whereas the lands in Indonesia as I observed are more fertile than the land in Malaysia. Many crops can easily be grown in Indonesia. On the other hand Indonesia has also many minerals in their soil and in their sea are having abundance of fish and other sea products. Indonesia on the other hand has more oil than Malaysia and Indonesia is one of the oil producing country in the world.

Indonesia is one of the OPEC member’s countries. What is wrong with Indonesia? I was thinking and questioning myself the same questions again and again and I would like very much to know the answer. Why are there so many Indonesians who came to Malaysia to earn their living? Our Indonesians neighbours are the ones who become our maids, our gardeners, our farmers and our construction workers. Indonesians are the one who are willing to do all the hard works which many Malaysians are not ready to do. Indonesians are willing to do all the hard jobs because there are no jobs in their country and yet the cost of living in Indonesia is high. They came to Malaysia to earn a living so that they can send money to their children who are schooling in Indonesia. Many people in Indonesia are living in poverty and the amount of money they earn in Indonesia is less whereas the costs of foods and other necessities of life in Indonesia are high. In other words in Indonesia the inflation rate is high and the buying power of the people is low. Why Indonesians are poorer than Malaysians? Are Indonesians lazier than Malaysians? In my opinions Indonesians work harder than Malaysians. This shows us, that to work harder is not the only factor which will make a person or a country to become prosperous.

Why Indonesia cannot be a prosperous country in spite of having abundance of natural resources and millions of hardworking citizens? What is wrong with Indonesians? In my opinion Indonesia cannot become a prosperous country in spite of having abundance of natural resources and millions hardworking citizens is because of weak or poor management of the people and the natural resources. The Indonesian leaders are not capable in managing the people and the natural resources effectively. Why the Indonesians leaders are poor in the management of their people and their natural resources? Indonesians leaders are poor in managing their people and their natural resources because both of the leaders and the people are having wrong behaviours and wrong mental outlook. Both the leaders and the people of Indonesia have wrong behaviours because they have the wrong belief and wrong mental outlook. Because of wrong behaviours in my opinion Indonesia cannot become a prosperous nation in spite of having abundance of natural resources and millions of hardworking citizens. Indonesia in spite of gaining her independent from the Dutch much earlier than Malaysia is less developed than Malaysia. Indonesia has larger land areas than Malaysia, much larger population, much greater human and natural resources than Malaysia. Petronas, a Malaysian oil company during their early days had learned about managing a petroleum company from Patamina an Indonesian oil company but now Petronas has spread her wings in many parts of the world but Pertmanina still remain as an oil company which operates only within Indonesia. In order to develop Indonesia into a modern nation in my opinion both the belief and mindset of the people of Indonesia towards modernization need to be completely overhauled.

When we reached the Samosir Island in the middle of Danau Toba it was already the time of Fajar solat. We prayed our Fajar solat in one of the restaurant owned by a Muslim because we hardly found any mosque or surau in the island.  Finally we arrived at one of the Surau in the Samosir Island and as we reached the surau, immediately we started making the work of inviting the people to good and forbidding the people from evils. I was told by a person that in the Samosir Island there is hardly any Muslim and the Muslims in the island only constitute about five percent of the population and the majority of the Batak in the island is Christians. When we met the Bataks who are Christians we invited them to embrace Islam or to recite the Great Kalimah. When we met Muslims we reminded them about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and we invited them to do the work of inviting the people to good and forbidding the people from evils and to perform the five times daily prayers.

In my opinion, Bataks are generally kind and nice people but I think their women are controlling the man and the way Batak women speak which is much louder and stronger than the man shows that in the Batak community the woman is in control. In Somasa Island we found there were some Batak women who were not very happy with us coming to their houses and inviting their men to embrace Islam. Some of the Batak women were shouting and jeering at us but we kept patient. Except for the few women who jeered and shouted at us, in my opinion most of the Batak people were kind and gentle to us. At about 10.00 am we were visited by one of the leader of the Muslims community in the island who politely requested us to leave the island. At about noon we left the Samosir Island with a ferry heading towards the town of Parapat which is located at the bank of Danau Toba on the island of Sumatra.

When we reached the town of Parapat we initially went to the main mosque of the town of Parapat and we tried to request the imam of the mosque to allow us to use the mosque as the centre of our mission in Parapat but our request to stay in the mosque was turned down by the imam. Unable to use the mosque as the centre of our mission, we rented an apartment in the town of Parapat which is owned by a Christian lady and the apartment was quite large to accommodate the twenty of us. Our group consists of thirteen persons from Malaysia and nine persons from Indonesia and three of the Indonesians were our drivers. I was told by the locals that in the town of Parapat there are equal number of Muslims and non-Muslims. The non-Muslims in Parapat are mainly the Batak Christians. We were only able to start our mission in inviting the Christians to recite the Great Kalimah and reminding the Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to invite Muslims to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and to perform the five times daily solat only after the Asar prayer.

Immediately after the Asar prayer, we formed about seven groups of two persons and each group took each lane or road of the town. Each group was visiting every home of either Muslims or Christians along each road or lane of the town.  After Fajar prayer and a lecture, the next morning the same activities of visiting the Muslims and the non-Muslims were repeated and after we had our breakfast we continued our journey back towards Medan while our Indonesians counterpart continued their journey towards Bengkulu.

We reached Medan at about three in the evening and after a tired journey we let ourselves to enjoy a sumptuous lunch at the famous Garuda Restaurant in Medan.

On the night of the 5th February 2013, we flew back to Kuala Lumpur and our friend Diki, traveled back to his village. When our friend Diki returned to his village, we had the news that he was being attacked by the people of his village. Diki told us that the villagers went to his house in search of Diki and they threw stones towards the house of Diki which forced Diki to escape from his house via the back door of the house towards the farms. Diki also told us that the villager chased him even to his farms which forced him to flee to the jungle. He remained in the jungle for several days before his brother helped him to escape to Medan. In Medan, Diki took a refuge in his friend house. The stories of our friend Diki in my opinion is similar to the story which is mentioned in Surah Yassin, the story of a carpenter by the name Habibunajjar who was killed by his people because he was advising his villagers to listen to the invitation of the three persons who came to his village in order to invite them to believe in Allah and to obey the orders of Allah.

THE WORK TO RENEW IMAN

download (1)

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said that iman would get tarnish, as iron will get rust. At other times, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said renews your iman. The companions may Allah be pleased with them asked Prophet Muhammad s.a.w how should we renewed our iman. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said in the meaning, talk about the Kalimah there is no God except Allah abundantly. We renewed our iman when we talk abundantly about the meaning of the Kalimah there is no God except Allah. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w asked us to talk about the meaning of the Kalimah abundantly. In order to renewed their iman the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w will talk about the Kalimah among themselves. The Companions of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w were always anxious about their iman. Whenever they feel their iman has becomes weaker they will sit in a circle and reminding each other about the meaning of the Kalimah. The Companions of the Prophets knew the values of iman and they are always anxious about their iman. They knew when their iman has increased and they knew when their iman has decreased. During those times, the Muslims believe very strongly that nothing is more valuable than iman. They are willing to die for iman but they are not willing to lose their iman.

There is a difference between the work to increase iman and the work to renewed iman. In order to increase iman we have to do the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslim until they are willing to recite the Great Kalimah and we becomes the witness to their recital of the Kalimah CLICK . When we do the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims, we are actually doing the work of enjoining good and forbidding the evil. When we do this, our iman will increase. In the meaning of the ayat of the Holy Quran, ‘You are the best nation that has been sent to the entire mankind, you enjoin the good and you forbid the evils and you have iman in Allah.’ Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said when you saw any evil you must stop it with power. When you cannot do it with power then you have to stop it with words. When you cannot stop the evils with words, then you have to stop the evils with your heart and the Prophet said this is the lowest of iman. To stop the evils with our heart means we have to be worried about the evils and we should make doa so that the person who has committed the evils will stop from doing the evils, and by doing this the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said, we will get the lowest iman. From Quran and Hadis it shows that the work of enjoining good and forbidding the evils have relationship with iman. The greatest evils committed by men is they do not to admit that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah and the greatest good done by men is to admit and to recite I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. When we do the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and we ask them to recite the Kalimah we are actually doing the work of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil and we do this our iman will increased.

Reminding a muslim

Whenever we committed any sins, our iman will becomes tarnish and to renew our iman Prophet Muhammad s.a.w asked us to remind each other abundantly about the meaning of the Great Kalimah. When we met Muslims, we must remind each other’s about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and the orders of Allah. We must invite him or her to obey the commandments of Allah particularly the first and the second order of Allah that is to do the work of dakwah and to perform the five times daily solat with congregation in the mosque. Allah will revive all other orders of Allah once the first and the second orders are established.

Solat with congregation in the mosque

When we met a Muslim, we must tell him or her that you want to do the work of reminding each other’s about Allah and the orders of Allah. A man reminds a man and a woman reminds a woman. When he or she is ready to give time then we can start talking to her or him on these points. These points are only guidelines so that our talks are not deviated from our aim and according to the situation; we can either shorten or lengthen our talk .We start with reminding him or her about Allah and the orders of Allah.

Reminding a muslim in day time

Reminding a muslim in evening time

We can talk something like this… Only to obey Allah and to please Allah I would like to remind you and myself that there is no God except Allah, there is no one that can give benefit or harm except Allah, there is no one that can give what we want except Allah. None can give honor or disgrace except Allah and none can give success or failures except Allah. I also would like to remind you and myself that when we obey Allah we will be successful and when we disobey Allah we will be unsuccessful and I would like to invite you and myself to obey Allah. The first order of Allah is to convey the Great Kalimah I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah to the non-Muslims and to invite them to recite the Kalimah. Since after Prophet Muhammad s.a.w there will be no more prophets, Allah has given the work, which used to be obligatory only to the prophets is also obligatory to the whole Umat Muhammad s.a.w.

When we do the work of conveying the Kalimah to the non-Muslims Allah will make our iman strong. When our iman is strong our amals will also becomes strong. When we do the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims, we are fulfilling the right of the Kalimah and when we are fulfilling the right of the Kalimah, we will have the benefits of the Kalimah. There are two benefits of the Kalimah, the first benefit is we will not have any sadness and the second benefit; we will not have any calamities. This order is the easiest and the simplest of all the orders of Allah. In order to do the work of conveying the Kalimah we only need to know the Kalimah and Allah has ordered us only to convey and not to make them Muslims. The work to make them Muslims is the work of Allah. The second order of Allah is to perform five times daily solat with congregation in the mosque and we would like to invite you and ourselves to do the work of dakwah and to perform solat with congregation in our mosque .In order to do these orders of Allah you only needs to give times. All of us have times unless we die. The times we needs to give to these amals of Masjid in a day including dakwah, performing solat with congregation in the mosque and to learn about these orders of Allah is only 2 hours and 30 minutes. Are you ready to give two hours and thirty minutes daily to do the work of dakwah, pray five times solat with congregation and learn the orders of Allah in the mosque? ”

Make doa for muslim in day time

In case we have no opportunities to remind the Muslim brothers then we have to make doa for him or her.

Make doa for muslim in evening time

The doa is something like this. ‘Only to obey Allah and to please Allah I would like to remind you, and mysef that there is no God except Allah, there is no one that can give benefit or harm except Allah, there is no one that can give what we want except Allah. None can give honor or disgrace except Allah and none can give success or failures except Allah. I also would like to remind you and myself that when we obey Allah, we will be successful and when we disobey Allah, we will be unsuccessful. Oh, Allah delivers these great words to the occupants of this house and instills these great words into our heart. Oh Allah accept us and our families, accept the occupant of this house and all the Muslims to do the work of dakwah  and to perform five times obligatory solat, the males perform solat with congregation in the mosques and the females to perform solat in their houses on time’.

THE WORK TO INCREASE IMAN

heaven2

Iman is the basic and the most important needs that every man must have. Man needs iman more than any other needs of man. The values of iman are paradise. Without iman, man will be at lost in this world and the hereafter. Man behaves according to their iman and when man has no iman, they will behave as animals. When man behaves as animal, there will be no peace and happiness in this world. When man behaves, as animals in this world man will only be busy with the work of fulfilling men’s material needs and in the hereafter, men will have to enter hellfire.

Allah has ordered us to have iman and the work that we have to do in order to have iman is the first order of Allah. What is the first order of Allah that we have to do in order to obtain iman is the order of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslim that is I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. This is the first order of Allah that many Muslims failed to do even from among the learned Muslim. The Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said in the meaning, convey to others even though you only knows one ayat. The first ayat that a person knows when he or she enter Islam is I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The first order to him or her after reciting this Great Kalimah is to convey the Great Kalimah to others who has not recited the Kalimah. Many Muslims since they are born have not even conveyed the Great Kalimah to even one non-Muslim. When we are not conveying the Great Kalimah to others, then we are not fulfilling the right of the Kalimah and although we are reciting the Great Kalimah but we are devoid from getting the two great blessings of the Kalimah. The two great blessings of the Kalimah are having no worry and anxiety and having no calamities whatsoever in this world.

Many Muslims do not realize that the first order of Allah is to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and because of this, they have neglected this great order. When Muslims are neglecting this first order of Allah then their iman does not increased. The Great Kalimah is still in their mouth and not in their heart. When the Great Kalimah is, still in their mouth and not in their heart then they are only Muslims by names but not by actions. There are five pillars of Islam and all these pillars are the five most important actions that a Muslim must do in order to attained strong iman. Among the five pillars of Islam, the first pillar is the most important action that a Muslim must do in order to attain strong iman. The first pillar of Islam is to bear witness there is no God except Allah and to bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. What actions that a Muslim must do in order to comply with this first pillar of Islam? The action that a Muslim must do is to convey this Great Kalimah to others until they are ready to recite the Great Kalimah and we bear witness to their recital of the Great Kalimah. When they are not ready to recite the Great Kalimah, they become the witness of our recital of the Great Kalimah. When we conveyed this Great Kalimah to others and we bear witness to their recital of this Kalimah or they bear witness to our recital of the Kalimah then Allah will make our iman increased.

Conveying the Great Kalimah

Initially when you met non-Muslims you must request for time and you tell him or her that you want to talk to him or her on something very important. When they are ready then you talk to him or her on these guidelines. A man must convey the Great Kalimah only to man and a woman must convey the Great Kalimah only to woman.

Convey the Great Kalimah to others who has not recited the Kalimah

download

We are one family and we descended from one forefather and we are created by one God. Our God name is Allah and there is no God except Allah. Allah loves us very much and He wants us to be successful in this world and the hereafter. In order to make us successful Allah has given us religion and if we follow the religion of Allah, we will be successful in this world and the hereafter. In order to invite man to Allah and His religion Allah has sent many Prophets and the last Prophet is Muhammad s.a.w and he has passed away. We come to you as the representatives of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w to invite you to become Muslim. We request you to enter Islam and to bear witness there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah truly, you will be successful. Are you ready to enter Islam?” You may follow these basic guidelines when you are trying to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. The wordings in bold italic black color are the most important words that you have to utter in case you do not have much time to talk to him or her.

Our work is only to convey the Great Kalimah

One very important point to remember is our work is only to convey the Great Kalimah and not to make the non-Muslims to recite the Kalimah. We are only to convey and not to make them Muslims. The work of making them Muslims is the work of Allah and not our work. Allah has ordered us only to invite them to recite the Kalimah and to become Muslim but not to force them to become Muslim. Whether they recite or refused to recite the Great Kalimah, we have conveyed the Kalimah thus we have obeyed the order of Allah and Allah is certainly pleased with us. Our intention of conveying the Great Kalimah is only to obey Allah and to please Allah, and not to make the non-Muslims to become Muslim. If they becomes Muslims in our hands we must praised Allah and not to praise ourselves because it is only Allah who gives them hidayah.

Making doa for them

In case we cannot give dakwah to them then we make doa for them. The guidelines of the doa is “…Oh Allah give hidayah to this person and to all the non-Muslims in this world to recite the Great Kalimah, I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of AllahOh Allah forgive all the Muslims and us whether they are alive or has passed away because of our sins of neglecting of the work of conveying the Kalimah. Oh, Allah we admit that there is no God except You and we admit that we have disobeyed You. Oh, Allah forgives us and accepts our repentance and truly, You are most forgiving most merciful…

It is better while making doa we raised our hands and say amin at the end of the doa. The wordings in bold italic black color are the most important doa to make in case you have very little time to do the doa.

THE WORK OF THE PROPHET- DAKWAH, BERPESAN-PESAN & MENGAJAR

visit

Allah has given the work of the Prophet to those who follows Prophet Muhammad saw. In the Quran Allah said in the approximate meaning, Oh Muhammad, tell your followers, that this my path,(way) to call peoples to Allah with full conviction and this is my path and the path(way) of those who follows me. Allah has given the work of calling peoples to Allah to Prophet Muhammad saw and to all who follows him. Those who follows Prophet Muhammad saw are known as the Prophet saw followers or Umat. Allah said in the Quran with the approximate meaning, you are the best Umat being sent to the entire mankind, because you invite peoples to good and you prevent peoples from evil and you believe in Allah. Allah call the followers of Prophet Muhammad saw as Umat, because this Umat will becomes the means upon which the whole mankind will obtain guidance and blessing of Allah when the followers of Prophet Muhammad saw are doing the work of inviting peoples to Good and preventing peoples from doing evils. What is the meaning of good in the above verse? Good means to be able to recite the Great Kalimah, that I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah and to be able to obey all the orders of Allah in the ways of Prophet Muhammad saw. What is the meaning of evils in the above verse? Evils means not to be able or refuse  to recite the Great Kalimah, that I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness, Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah and not able or refuse to obey all the orders of Allah in the ways of Prophet Muhammad saw. Many do not understand what it really means by the good and evils mention in the verse. Many interpret evils as acts of promiscuity, illicit sex and all other related sexual abuse behaviours. None has ever interpreted it as disinclination to recite the Great Kalimah and the disobedience to obey the first and the second order of Allah which is to deliver the Great Kalimah to those who have verbalised the Great Kalimah and to perform the five times prayers with congregation. Our Islamic authorities do form groups known as “Pencegah Maksiat” to combat activities related to evils which we normally understand as acts of promiscuity and other acts of sexual abuses.

What is the order of Allah that we have to work hard to make it alive? The order of Allah that we have to work hard to make it alive is the first order of Allah  which all Muslims have neglected it for hundreds of years and that is the order to do  the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. The order to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw is mentioned in the Quran but not mention or written in any books or Kitab written by our learned scholars of Islam. We cannot find it written in any books written by our learned scholars of Islam and so it was not learned by any students of Islamic studies in any schools of Islamic theology. Our Muslims scholars are not aware of the fact that the Umat of Muhammad saw are given the work of the Prophet saw and so the whole Umat also does not know that the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw is given to them. When Muslims learn about Islam in the schools, mosques or in the madrasah, they are not told by their Islamic religious teacher  that the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw is also their work and the work of the Prophet saw is obligatory to them as it has been made obligatory to the Prophet Muhammad saw. Now, no one including the Muslim  scholars knows that the work of the Prophet saw is also the work of all Muslims, males and females and that is the first order of Allah and it is the action associated with the First Pillar of IslamCLICK. Now Muslims in all over the world only knows that the First Pillar of Islam is only to recite the Great Kalimah in the presence of a witness only once in their whole life time. No Muslims ever understood that there is an action associated with the recitation of the Great Kalimah and that action is to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Now Muslims and Muslims scholars do not know what the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw is? As none of them has ever done the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. When we read any books or kitab written about Islamic practices we will not find any mention even a line of the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw and that it is also the work of each and every one of the followers of Muhammad saw. No Islamic books or kitab has ever written on how to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw as no one including the Muslims scholars ever knows on how to do the work of the Prophet saw. The whole entire Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw are ignorant about the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw which has been made obligatory to the each and every one of the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw. Although the work is made obligatory by Allah to the whole Umat, yet the work remain unclear and superficial to almost all the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw.

Allah mention in the Quran with approximate meaning. Oh Muhammad, tell to all your followers that this is my way, to call peoples to Allah, with full conviction, this is my way and the way of those who follows me. The work of the Prophet is to call peoples to Allah. What is the meaning of calling peoples to Allah? It has the meaning of calling those who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah and this work of the Prophet saw is known as Dakwah or inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah which means I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Whoever has recited the Great Kalimah with a witness even once; he or she is a Muslim or has entered Islam. Whoever has recited the Great Kalimah has to be continually reminded about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and about the orders of Allah. This is also the work of the Prophet and it is known as the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Allah mention in the Quran with approximate meaning, remind each other about Allah and His orders and the work of reminding is good or beneficial to all Muslims. Among those Muslims who are reminded about Allah and His orders, some may want to become an obedience slave of Allah. It is also the work of the Prophet to teach those wanting to become an obedience slave of Allah about how to perform the orders of Allah the ways done by Prophet Muhammad saw. This part of the work of the Prophet is known as teaching. In other words the work of the Prophet, includes the work of inviting (Dakwah), reminding and teaching. Nowadays there is only one part of the work of the Prophet which is still alive and that is the work of teaching Muslims about all the orders of Allah except the orders to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and the order to remind the Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and the orders of Allah. The teaching of these two orders which are important parts of the work of the Prophets are completely neglected by Muslims and because of this the number of non-Muslims in the entire world who are invited by Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah has greatly reduced to almost none and the number of Muslims in the world who are reminded by other Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah has also greatly reduced to almost none. Muslims religious scholars are busy teaching all other orders of Allah except the orders to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw and most of the students who are attending the lectures delivered by the Muslims scholars in the mosques are consisting mainly of old folks who are no longer interested to study. In many mosques in Malaysia there is a gathering so call as Majlis Ilmu between the time of solat Magrib and solat Isya and the participants are mainly the retired Muslims who have no other activities to attend to and the teaching are mainly on the orders of Allah such us prayers but never on the order to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Muslims in the entire world does not know that the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw are made obligatory to all Muslims and Muslims in the entire world do not know on how to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. When the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw does not do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw, Allah is angry with the whole Muslims in this world. When Allah is angry or not pleased with the Muslims, like a father to his son, Allah scold the Muslims by giving to the Muslims tyrant, injustice and corrupted leaders who are not kind and sympathetic to the Muslims and Allah made the enemies of the Muslims able to overpower the Muslims. Muslims will be made by Allah to become poor, stupid and easily control and deceived by their enemies. Some Muslims who do not know that everything happen to the Muslims happen with the permission of Allah, and Allah has permitted the enemies of Muslims to overpower Muslims because Muslims stop doing the work of the Prophet saw, start to retaliate to the enemies of Muslims who are doing injustice to the Muslims by attacking the enemies of Muslims using weapons and artilleries as the enemies of Muslims do. Those Muslims who attack the enemies of Muslims are label by the enemies of Muslims and also by some Muslims as terrorists. We have pity on these Muslims who try to solve the problems of Muslims using ways not in accordance to Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet saw. May Allah give guidance to them and if they have died, may Allah forgive their sins as they are ignorant and put them in Paradise with those who are believers.

When Muslims start to do the works of the Prophet Muhammad saw which has been made obligatory by Allah, Allah will be happy with the Muslims, like a father to an obedience son, Allah will stop canning the Muslims and Allah will take away all the canes which Allah has used to cane the Muslims and Allah will made the Muslims to have good and just rulers. Muslims will be made by Allah to become rich, intelligent and they will become superior over their enemies. Muslims will become lovable communities who like to do good to other peoples and even to their enemies. Muslims will no longer have the image of terrorism but the image of group of peoples endowed with the quality of righteousness, kindness and loving. In order Muslims to solve all the problems facing the Muslim Umah, Muslims must go back to the obedience to the orders of Allah and the first order of Allah that Muslims must uphold is the order to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw.

THE WORK OF REMINDING THE MUSLIM

photo_030210_009

Allah has ordered Muslims to remind other Muslims about Allah and His orders. When we neglected the work of reminding other Muslim about Allah and His orders Muslims will forget about Allah and His orders. Allah has created men to be forgetful. Forgetfulness has been the natures of men. Allah knows our weakness and Allah has ordered us to constantly reminding other Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Allah has said in the Quran in meaning that the work of reminding is beneficial to those who believe but it gives no benefit to those who has no believe in Allah and the life hereafter. Allah also said in the Quran that to those who has no believe in Allah and hereafter whether you remind them or not it is the same. Allah has ordered us to remind the Muslims about Allah and His orders but to the non-Muslim Allah has ordered us to gives dakwah. Dakwah means to proclaim the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslim until they decide to accept and testify that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. We must not only do the work of dakwah or tabligh to the non-Muslim but we must also do the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and His orders. When Muslims only do the work of dakwah to the non-Muslims and forgetting the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah, a time will comes when Muslims will forget Allah and forget the orders of Allah. The first order of Allah that the Muslims will forget is the order of giving dakwah to the non-Muslims.

During the times of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, all Muslims did the work of dakwah. Everyone during those days understands that the work of Muslims is to give dakwah. Everyone during those days understand that after reciting the Great Kalimah the first order that they have to do is to convey the Great Kalimah to those that have not accept the Kalimah. However, Muslims tend to neglect the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Although the work of dakwah continues but the number of Muslims that tend to forget that the work of dakwah is the first order of Allah grows bigger. As times goes on not only Muslims neglect the work of reminding the Muslims but Muslims also neglect the work of dakwah to non-Muslims. When Muslims were in this situation then the whole world is in total darkness. The world during those days was devoid of justice and truth. The world is in the period of darkness as it was before the coming of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. It was during those periods that non-Muslims colonize almost all the Muslim countries. When Sheikh Muhammad Ilyas came with the work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w during the early 20th century, some light tend to descend to the Muslim world. It was during those times, that Allah frees the Muslim countries from the colonization of the non-Muslims.

Muslims at any times must not forget the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the first orders of Allah. The first order of Allah is to do the work of dakwah. Dakwah means the invite the non-Muslim to bear witness that there is no God except Allah and to bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The first pillar of Islam will not be established when Muslims forget to do the work of dakwah. When the first pillar of Islam is not established, then the other four pillars of Islam are also not properly established. Some Muslims only want to give dakwah to non-Muslims and forgetting the work of reminding the Muslims while other Muslims only want to do the work of reminding the Muslim and forgetting the work of dakwah. We should do both the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims at all times. Even if all the peoples in the world have embraced Islam and becomes Muslims the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the Orders of Allah should not stop. In case the Muslims at all times do the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims then Islam will never degenerate till doomsday as we have witnessed today.

photo_022510_0051

When we meet Muslims, we should remind each other about Allah and the orders of Allah. We should remind each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and that our success and the success of the entire humankind are in the obedience of the commandments of Allah. We should remind the Muslims and invite them to obey the commandments of Allah particularly to do the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims and to perform five times daily solat with congregation in the mosques. Allah has sent Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his followers to the entire humankind to do the work of Prophet. We have to do the work of visiting the Muslims as well as the non-Muslims daily. We have to allocate at least minimum 45 minutes daily to do the work of visiting both the Muslims and the non-Muslims. When we meet the Muslims, we remind each other about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and the orders of Allah and when we meet non-Muslims, we should invite them to recite the Great Kalimah. In case, we are not able to talk to them then we should make doa to Allah so that Allah may give them guidance.

The basic work of all Prophets throughout the ages is that all Prophets went to the people and invite them to Allah and the orders of Allah. Prophets do not give long lectures and do not invite the peoples to listen to their lectures. Prophets spend hours daily visiting the peoples to invite them to Allah and the orders of Allah. All Prophets do not spends hours giving lectures but they go to each and everyone to invite them to Allah and the orders of Allah. All Prophets spend hours meeting the peoples in the streets, in their houses and in their farms and inviting them to Allah and the orders of Allah. Only to those who believe in Allah and in the Prophets and are ready to obey the orders of Allah, Prophets will teach them practically the orders of Allah.  Now Muslims are very fond of giving long lectures and listening to lectures about Islam and they think they have done a great work. There is no great work other than the work done by Prophets. Allah has made the works of Prophets as a means for making the orders of Allah alive. Until the Muslims do the work of Prophets like all the Prophets did, Allah will not make Islam alive. If we want to make Islam alive, we have to do the work of Prophets the way the Prophets did. If you are interested to learn the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah, you may contact us, Sapti 019-3584497 .

THE WORK OF DAKWAH

dakwah3

Allah has blessed the Muslim with the great words. The great word is I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The great words are the words given to all Prophets and all the Prophets have been ordered by Allah to call the people to recite the great words. Although Umat Muhammad s.a.w is not Prophets but the task of calling the people to recite the great words is also given to them. The Umat Muhammad s.a.w has been blessed with the work of Prophet. The great works has been given to the entire Umat Muhammad s.a.w, men and women. Once a person has recited the great words and has entered Islam, upon him or her lays the obligatory duty of conveying the great words to others who has not recited the great words and to invite them to do the same. The acts of conveying and inviting others to recite the great words are known as the work of dakwah or tabligh.

This great order of Allah has been neglected by all Muslims. The Muslims only claimed that they are doing the work dakwah or tabligh but in reality they are only doing the work of reminding the Muslims about some orders of Allah. Some Muslims claimed that they are doing the work of tabligh but in reality they are only inviting the Muslims to join their organization. The work of the organization totally neglected the work of conveying and inviting the non Muslims to recite the great words yet they claimed that they are doing the work of tabligh. Ironically the Muslims also believe that they are doing the work of tabligh. The Muslims generally have not understood what it means by the work of dakwah or tabligh. Tabligh means to convey even if you know only one verse or words. When a person enters Islam he knows one great words and it is incumbent obligatory duty upon him or her to convey the great words to others who have not recited the great words. When Abu Bakar entered Islam, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w told him to do the same work as the Prophet did, that is to convey and to invite people to recite the great words.This is to show that the work of dakwah or tabligh is not only the work of our Prophet but also the work of his followers and that dakwah is the first obligatory order of Allah after a person has recited the great words or has entered Islam. The second obligatory order of Allah is to performed the five times daily solat with aggregation.

Upon reciting the great words in the presence of a witness a person is said to have entered Islam and the first obligatory duty that he has to perform is to do dakwah or to convey and to invite the non Muslim to recite the great words. Dakwah or tabligh is the first order of Allah to be performed by a person who has just entered Islam. Ironically however, the Muslims believe that the first order of Allah is to perform five time daily solat and not dakwah or tabligh. As a result the work of dakwah is not being told to a person who has just entered Islam as his or her first obligatory duty. The Muslims believes that the work of dakwah is to make others correct or to correct others and so only those who is correct can do the work of dakwah. Muslims believes that the work of dakwah is the work of the Islamic scholars and not the work of everyone who knows even one word as being told by the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w in his last sermon to the entire Muslims till doomsday.

As a result the Muslims do not teach their children at schools or at homes that the first obligatory duty of the Muslims is to convey and to invite the non Muslims to recite the great words instead they teach their children that the first obligatory duty is to perform five times solat and the work of dakwah is the work of only the Islamic scholars. Due to this wrong believe the work of dakwah vanishes from the life of the common Muslims and as times goes on the work of dakwah also vanishes from lives of the Islamic scholars. Now the work of dakwah is completely neglected by the entire Muslims. Now the Muslims and the Muslims scholars believe that Muslims are very weak in faith and the Muslims is no longer capable of doing dakwah. In order to enable the Muslim to do dakwah or to convey and invite the non Muslims to recite the great words the Muslim must make themselves correct first. They asked the Muslims to leave their homes and families in order to enable them to undergo spiritual trainings for certain period of times and by doing so they believe the Muslims will become correct. When all the Muslims become correct they believe that the non Muslims will accept Islam without the Muslims needs to give dakwah like Prophet Muhammad s.a.w used to do.

The arguments seem logical and to the simple minded Muslims, the points are correct and they accept it as truth. Unfortunately the arguments are using the minds instead of using the Quran and Hadis and the arguments are made in order not to obey Allah and His Prophet. The arguments are against the wishes of Allah and His Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Allah and His Prophet s.a.w have ordered us to convey and to invite the non Muslims to recite the great words and the prerequisite to do the work is only to know the great words. Allah and His Prophet do not ordered us to make the non Muslims to become Muslim or to make or to force them to recite the great words. Allah and His Prophet only ordered us to convey and to invite them to recite the great words and there should be no compulsion. Allah has ordered us to convey and to invite the non Muslims to recite the great words and we should do it not because we are good or correct but because it is the order of Allah and our intention of doing it is only to please Allah. Whether we are capable or not capable doing the work of dakwah should not be our concerned. Our responsibilities are to obey Allah and the Prophets. When we obey the orders of Allah to please Allah, it is incumbent duty of Allah to help us and to make us capable of doing the work of dakwah. We just do it. We simply obeyed Allah to please Allah, Allah will teach us how to do dakwah and Allah will give us the capabilities, knowledge and wisdom and Allah will help us as He has help all the Prophets and His companions in the past.
