None is more important to a Muslim other than to perform and establish the First Pillar of Islam. What is the action associated with the First Pillar of Islam? This question has never been answered, explained and elaborated by any learned scholars of Islam in the whole world. Every Muslim and the Islamic scholars are fully contented with the understanding that the First Pillar of Islam is only the recital of the Great Kalimah Syahadah: I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness  Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Only once in the whole lifetime. Other than the recital of the Great Kalimah Syahadah, there is no other actions associated with it. A person is only required to recite the Great Kalimah Syahadah, only once when he or she becomes a Muslim or a believer. It is the normal practice after a person embraces Islam, the new convert will be told to perform the Second Pillar of Islam, which is the performance of the five times daily prayers. Except for the First Pillar of Islam, all other 4 Pillars of Islam have actions associated with each of them. Then, how could it be possible to have no action associated with the First Pillar of Islam? All Muslims scholars of the world have failed to come with any explanation for the reason why the First Pillars of Islam has no action associated with it, other than to recite it, once in a lifetime. The action normally associated with the First Pillar of Islam is just to recite the Great Kalimah only once in a lifetime, while the actions associated with the Second Pillar of Islam is the performance of the five times daily prayers. The time taken to perform the five times daily prayers on the average is about forty-five minutes to one hour daily and the time taken to recite the Great Kalimah Syahadah once in the whole lifetime, is not even one minute. It seems that the time taken to perform the action associated with the Second Pillar of Islam is far greater when compared with the time taken to perform the action of the First Pillar of Islam. Logically the time taken daily to perform the actions associated with the First Pillar of Islam should be much more than the time taken daily to perform the actions associated with the Second Pillar of Islam. After reciting the Great Kalimah at the time of embracing Islam, the next time a person is required to recite the Great Kalimah is at the time of his or her death. In my opinion, it is highly illogical that the time given to perform the Second Pillar of Islam is much more than the time given to perform the actions associated with the First Pillar of Islam.

Islam is a very logical religion and it comes from Allah and Allah is very logical in giving His orders to mankind. Allah’s orders cannot be illogical. Logic goes with our mind and thinking but illogical does not goes with our mind and thinking. Ones who use his or her mind will behave logically and those who do not use his or her mind will not act logically. Mad persons will act illogically because they cannot use their mind properly. A normal person will act illogically only when, instead of using their mind they use their emotions or desires. Quran is a very logical book. We have to read Quran with our mind and thinking and not with our desires or emotion. In the Quran, Allah repeatedly asks us to use our mind and not to use our desires. Allah asks us to look and ponder at all the creations of Allah with our mind. Allah says to those who use only their desires and not their mind as animals. Allah has given us the brain and the brain has to be used to think about the creations and the orders of Allah. Most Muslim scholars tell the Muslims in the whole world that the duty of Muslims is only to follow the orders of Allah blindly or without thinking which mean, Muslims are not to use their mind in obeying the orders of Allah. Muslims are made to understand by their scholars that they cannot use their brain or mind in matters related to the order of Allah and they are only to obey the orders of Allah blindly.

Muslims scholars warn the Muslims not to question the orders of Allah as this act may lead him or her to become an apostate or an infidel. When I was with the Tabligh Jamat, many members of the group, regarded me as a person who uses his brain in obeying the orders of Allah. Many spread the rumors, that I have become mentally sick and some says that I have become Kafir and Syirik. Muslims scholars have made Muslims in the whole world to believe that, only Muslim scholars are able to understand about Islam and no one else is able to do so. In other words, Muslim scholars are telling the Muslims that Allah will give the understanding about Islam only to the Islamic scholars and not to others. Muslims scholars warn Muslims not to use their brain as regards to matters related to Islam and the responsibilities of the general Muslims are only to obey them. In my opinion many Muslim scholars are turning to become like the Priest (Nasrani) and the Rabbi (Yahudi), who claim to have special relationship with God. When they become like the Rabbi and the Priest, they will be able to command unquestioned obedience from the Muslims. Once they have the unquestioned obedience from the Muslims, they can use it to deviate the teaching of Islam to their worldly interest as what has been done by the Priests and Rabbi to their followers. Although Prophet Muhammad saw has never told the Muslims that in order to understand Quran, one needs to master 15 branches of Islamic knowledge but the Muslims scholars did. In order to scare the Muslims, they use the Hadis with the approximate meaning; whoever disrespects the Muslims scholars, Prophet Muhammad saw will not regard them as his followers. However the Hadis refer to the disrespect of a truthful Muslim scholar not the untruthful ones. Nowadays most Muslims scholars are the untruthful ones, whose main interest is to obtain the pleasure of this world at the expense of Islam.

Now Muslims all over the world are kept in the dark by their own Muslim scholars, who are mostly the untruthful Muslim scholars. No one in the world dare to ask the Muslim scholars why there is no action associated with the First Pillar of Islam other than to recite the Great Kalimah Syahadah once in the whole lifetime. It is very illogical that the actions associated with the First Pillar of Islam is only to recite the Great Kalimah Syahadah only once in the whole lifetime. Because Muslims are taught by their Muslim scholars not to question anything when it comes to Islam, many Muslims choose to obey the orders blindly without question for more than one thousand years. I have written on this topic previously KLIK and to those who wanted to know more about the First Order of Allah, please refer to the article in the blog with the topic, First Order of Allah and the Five Pillars of Islam. Previously, I was among the billion of Muslims who would never dare to question the orders of Allah. However, now I dare to question only after I have done a very long and strenuous years of efforts and researches in finding ways on how to increase my iman to Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw.

In the hope of finding ways of increasing iman, I have joined Tabligh Jamat in 1976 during my time in Melbourne, Australia. I have joined the movement, because they claim (which later on I realized it was not true) that to increase iman a person need to go out in the path of Allah for 3 days every month, 40 days every year and 4 months, once in a whole lifetime. Tabligh Jamat is an Islamic movement originated and developed by the Muslims scholars of India and millions of Muslims from all over the world have joined this movement. There are many who after joining Tabligh Jamat, have decided to leave the Jamat because of so many varied reasons.  After I join this movement for nearly 20 years, I started to realize what has been said by Tabligh Jamat; to gain iman, one has to go for 3 days every month, 40 days every year and 4 months once in a lifetime is not true. It is not based on Quran and Hadis. There is no verses in the Quran or Hadis that say; to increase iman, a person need to go out for 3 days in a month, 40 days in a year and 4 months once in a lifetime as claim by Tabligh Jamat.

In 1996 I started to think and to review again on the ways on how to increase my iman. I was telling myself, if I continue to do the same ways as I did in the last 20 years, I will end up in the next twenty years in the same state as I was at that time, with no increasing of iman. I started trying to find the solution in the Quran and Hadis. I found one Hadis that mention explicitly that to renew iman a person needs to frequently talk about the meaning of the Great Kalimah, Lailahaillallah. I was convinced and I want to practice this Hadis. I started to talk to many Muslims in Masjid Seri Petaling, the centre of Tabligh Jamat in Malaysia about the meaning of the Great Kalimah, yet I found my iman did not increase. I was puzzled and deep in my heart; I knew the Hadis of Prophet Muhammad saw must be correct. What may goes wrong must be in the way I talked to the peoples about the Great Kalimah. Finally Allah gave me the answer; I have to go to the peoples of my locality that do not know who I am and talk to them daily about the meaning of the Great Kalimah. Since that day I started to spend time in the early hours of the day, for about one hour, everyday, to talk to the peoples in my locality, about the meaning of the Great Kalimah. I would start from the mosque of my locality and went to every Muslim in every Muslims houses, in every lane in my locality and talk to those who are willing to listen about the meaning of the Great Kalimah. When I talk to the Muslims in my locality about the meaning of the Great Kalimah in the way Prophet Muhammad saw did, I found my iman increases.

At that time until 2007, I only visited Muslims houses and talk only to Muslims. In Tabligh Jamat we are only allowed to visit Muslim houses and talk, only to Muslims. In Tabligh Jamat, we are not allowed to directly invite the non-Muslims to embrace Islam unless the non-Muslims themselves are interested to know about Islam. The Muslims scholars in Tabligh Jamat give special instruction to the followers of the movement that the time to give dakwah to the non-Muslims has not come and now the work should only concentrate on rectifying the Muslims which they call to prepare the Muslims in the whole world to do the work of Dakwah. Tabligh Jamat is preparing the Muslims to do the work of Dakwah without letting them to do the work of Dakwah to the non-Muslims. In Tabligh Jamat, preparing the Muslims to do the work of Dakwah is by giving lectures to the Muslims and at the end of the lectures is to ask them, to go for 3 days, 40 days or 4 months. According to Tabligh Jamat, when Muslims go for 3 days in a month, 40 days in a year and 4 months, once in the whole lifetime, they will become rectified. According to Tabligh Jamat, once the Muslims become rectified (good Muslims)the non-Muslims in the whole world  will automatically becomes Muslims, without having the need for Muslims to give Dakwah to the non-Muslims as Prophet Muhammad saw did. They claim it is due to the work of Tabligh Jamat, many peoples in the whole world embrace Islam and they embrace Islam without having the need for Muslims to give Dakwah to the non-Muslims. In reality, it is Allah who gives the peoples hidayah to embrace Islam, but Tabligh Jamat take the credit by claiming it is their work that makes Allah to gives hidayah to the peoples who embrace Islam.

I was cheated by Tabligh Jamat and Tabligh Jamat was in turn being cheated by the Iblis and Syaitan. With the grace of Allah I was finally saved from their mischievous actions. Ignoring the rules in Tabligh Jamat, in September 2007, I started to visit the non-Muslims houses but during that time I was only making DOA in front of their houses. In February 2008, I started to visit non-Muslim houses in my locality and to give them dakwah of the Great Kalimah Syahadah. It is the day, in my opinion, the dark clouds that was covering my mind and heart all this while, disappeared, once and for all. Allah since then has opened to me such an understanding about Quran, Hadis and the work of dakwah, which all of you can read in my blog; mthago.wordpress.com. Since I started the real work of inviting the whole mankind to good and forbidding them from evils, as Prophet Muhammad saw did, Allah has given me the blessing of the revelation. Now Allah has given me the understanding of what is the right of reciting the Great Kalimah Syahadah. The right of reciting the Great Kalimah is the action associated with the First Pillars of Islam and this has been explained by me with the grace of Allah, in my articles on the topic, the work of increasing iman and the work of renewing iman. I presented this knowledge to all the Muslims in the whole world and it is the greatest gift ever being given by Allah to me and the whole humanity in this century.

Because I have transgressed the rules in Tabligh Jamat I was barred by the supreme council of Tabligh Jamat who are residing in Banglawali Masjid, Hazrat Nizammuddin, New Delhi, India from giving lectures to members of Tabligh Jamat and my ability and capability to make decision as the Syura of Malaysia was taken away. I remained the Syura of Malaysia but I have no power to decide anything in any meeting. My right to become the decision maker in any meeting was taken away. In July 2009, I decided to leave Tabligh Jamat forever. Since then until now, with the grace of Allah, I am doing the work of inviting people to good and forbidding people from evils in my locality, the way of our beloved Prophet Muhammad saw did and not the way of Tabligh Jamat. Some members of Tabligh Jamat like Haji Abdul Hakim wanted me to join back the movement, but when Allah has given me the guidance to know and to do as Prophet Muhammad saw did, it is impossible for me to join back the movement. I would say to them good bye and good luck.

Allah has sent Prophets to mankind in order to remind them about the existence of Allah that, there is no God other than Allah and to obey Allah the way shown by the Prophet.  Many Prophets may Allah’s blessing be upon them have been deputed by Allah to mankind and each Prophet was suited to the time and the peoples upon whom the Prophets had been send. There are occasion when at one times there were many Prophets send to so many tribes or localities. All the Prophets were given by Allah the Great Kalimah, which is ‘no God except Allah and the Prophet was only the slave and the messenger of Allah’. Prophets were not God but they were normal human being who had been chosen by Allah to be His messenger to mankind.  When men started to admire and to love the Prophet more than Allah, they started to associate to the Prophets attributes suited only to Allah and when the Prophet had died they started to make statues of the Prophet as sign of their love toward the Prophet and they started to adore the statue . Originally they adore the statue but as times goes on they started to worship the statues of the Prophet. Originally they do not regard the statues as God or idols but only as symbols or means for them to have concentration in their worship of God as they cannot see God but later on they became deviated and they started to regard the statues as God. When men had became idols worshiper, Allah the Almighty will send another Prophet to mankind for reminding purpose.  Allah will chose from among mankind persons to become His messenger and the message given to His messenger was the same as given to all other messengers, which is ‘no God other than Allah and the Prophet is the messenger of Allah’. Prophet Muhammad saw said, we the Prophets were given by Allah the Kalimah, and the Kalimah is ‘no God other than Allah and towards this Kalimah, we are inviting the entire mankind’. All mankind belongs to one family and have descended from one forefather and created by one God. The God of all the entire mankind is Allah and there is no God other than Allah. The process of sending the Prophets continue until Allah has finally decided to complete the revelations of guidance to mankind by sending Prophet Muhammad saw as the last and the final Prophet for the entire mankind and with him the final and the last revelation to mankind which is the Quran.

Allah has sent Prophet Muhammad saw as the last Prophet to mankind.  Allah will not send anymore Prophet after him.  Although there is no more Prophet after Prophet Muhammad saw but the work of the Prophet must be continued until doomsday.  Who will do the work of the Prophet saw after Prophet Muhammad saw? Allah has given the great work of the Prophet saw to each and every one of those who follow Prophet Muhammad saw.  In order words every one of the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw has been given by Allah the work of Prophet Muhammad saw.  Although each and every one of the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw has been given the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw but not long after the demise of the Prophet saw and the Fourth Righteous Caliph, the work of the Prophet saw slowly disappeared from the life of the Muslims. In fact, as long as the work of the Prophet saw remain with the Muslims, it is the same as if the Prophet Muhammad saw is still remain alive with the Muslim and the help of Allah is with the Muslim.  When the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw is no longer with the Muslims, it is the same as if the Prophet Muhammad saw is no longer living alive with the Muslims and the help of Allah is no longer with the Muslims.  The priests of the Roman Empire has warned the Christians not to attacked the Muslims while Prophet Muhammad saw was still alive, because the priests told the Christians, as long as Prophet Muhammad saw was living alive with them ,the help of Allah is with the Muslims and the Christians will not be able to defeat the Muslims.

The Christians of the Roman Empire did not attacked the Muslims as long as Prophet Muhammad saw was still alive, but the moment the Christians of the Roman Empire heard the news that Prophet Muhammad saw had become ill, they prepared about two hundred thousands of soldiers and ready to attack Medina.  At the time, Caliph Abu Bakar r.a was made the first Caliph of Islam and the Muslims had to face with three main problems. The three main problems that had to be faced by the Muslims at the time Hazrat Abu Bakar was the Caliph were the attacked from the Roman Empire, Muslims became apostate and became the followers of the false Prophet, Musailama Kazab, and some Muslims refused to practice the order of zakat.  At about the time prior to the death of the Prophet Muhammad saw, the Prophet saw had prepared an army of three thousand peoples led by his step grandson Hazrat Usamah bin Zaid r.a to face the formidable armies of the Romans. We all knew the sensational stories on how difficult it was for Abu Bakar to send the armies led by Usamah r.a at the time when the Prophet Muhammad saw had just died.  The army was finally sent by Hazrat Abu Bakar, although prominent companion like Hazrat Umar r.a was against the idea. Although physically Prophet Muhammad saw had died but to Allah the Almighty Prophet Muhammad saw was still alive since the work of the Prophet saw was still alive at that time.  Allah’s help was with the Muslims and all the three major problems faced by the Muslims at the time Hazrat Abu Bakar was Caliph were solved by Allah. The Roman armies fled back, Musailama Kazab was killed and Muslims who declined to pay zakat, finally started to give zakat.  The Christian priests of the Roman Empire were puzzled and amazed at the victory of the Muslims over the Roman armies.  They tried to find out the reasons why the help of Allah was with the Muslims even though the Prophet Muhammad saw had passed away from this world. In almost every war that took place between the Christians or non-Muslims and Muslims during the period of the righteous Caliphs, the Muslims always win. What were the reasons?

Muslims always won the wars that they had with the non-Muslims during the period of the righteous Caliphs because the help of Allah was with the Muslims. The help of Allah was with the Muslims because the Muslims at that time were still doing the work of the Prophet saw.  As long as the Muslims are doing the work of the Prophet saw, in the eyes of Allah, the Prophet saw was with the Muslims and therefore Allah’s helps were with the Muslims. Allah says in the Quran with approximate meaning ‘Oh Muhammad as long as you are with them and they always ask for forgiveness, I will not punish them’. Allah will not punish the Muslims as long as they do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw which means in other word as long as the Muslims do the work of the Prophet saw, the help of Allah is with the Muslims. The help of Allah is with the Muslims means, Allah will help the Muslims when they are attacked by the non-Muslims and make them victorious, Allah will grant the Muslims honour and dignity and make them the leaders of mankind, Allah will answers the prayers of the Muslims and free them from all calamities, Allah will give the Muslims pious and great leaders and Allah will give Muslims the ability to obey all the orders of Allah. What is the reason that nowadays Muslims do not get the help of Allah? The reasons are simple and there is only one reason why nowadays Muslims do not get the help of Allah. The only reasons why nowadays Muslim does not get the help of Allah is because they are no longer doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw the ways the Prophet Muhammad saw did. There is no other reason other than this reason. Muslims must only find the answer to their problems in the Quran and nowhere else.

Nowadays Muslims cannot solve their problems by eradicating poverty or improving illiteracy or increasing the use of science and technology among Muslims.  There is no one that can give us honour and disgrace except Allah and Allah will solve our problems when we correct our actions. Allah will give Muslims the honour and dignity that Allah has promised only when Muslims do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw.  When all Muslims do the work of the Prophet saw as their main work, Allah will increase their iman and only with the iman Muslims will be able to obey all the orders of Allah. When Muslims obey all the orders of Allah the way Allah want, therefore Allah will be pleased with the Muslims. When Allah is pleased with the Muslims, Allah will answer the prayers of the Muslims, help the Muslims against their enemies and solve all the problems that the Muslims nowadays have.  Why do the Muslims left the work of the Prophet saw when the work is a very important order of Allah to the Muslims? Don’t the Muslims scholars understand and know that the main reason for the downfall of the Muslims is because the Muslims have left the work of the Prophets saw CLICK.  Why not the Muslims revived the work of the Prophet saw so that the problems of the Muslims will be solved by Allah? Unfortunately most Muslims scholars are only busy in writing of Islamic books and giving speeches about Islam in the mosques or in large gathering of the Muslims and not busy in doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. None of them except Sheikh Ilyas rah. was eager to do similar work as being done by Prophet Muhammad saw in the early years of the last century. Sheikh Ilyas went out to the rice fields and met Muslims who were not even able to recite the Great Kalimah and asked them to recite the Kalimah. Unfortunately the work that he had started finally was not followed by the scholars that inherited the work from him. After the demise of Sheikh Ilyas the work of the Prophet had became a tarikat organization. Muslims scholars after him resort back to the traditional ways of the scholars, which is giving lectures in the mosques or in large gathering of Muslims. Muslims scholars do not want to do the work like the work done by Prophet saw and they are more comfortable giving lectures in the mosques. Why do Muslims scholars do not want to do the work like the Prophet saw and Sheikh Ilyas. The answer is because these Muslim scholars have been inflicted with the diseases in their heart, known as the love of the material world or worldly things. Prophet Muhammad saw said in the approximate meaning, the love of the materials world is the basis of all evils.

When the Muslims scholars are inflicted with the disease of the love of this material world, what more the general Muslims? Nowadays all Muslims including their scholars are also inflicted with the disease. Because the Muslims as well as their scholars are inflicted with the disease, the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw, which is obligatory to all Muslims die off. The work of the Prophet saw, require Muslims as well as their scholars to do sacrifices of their time, money, health, self, families, comfort, dignity and ego. When Muslims start to do the work of the Prophet saw with sacrifices, the love of the material world will come out of their heart and the love of Allah will come into their heart. When Muslims and their scholars stop doing the work of the Prophet saw, the love of Allah will come out of their heart and the love of this material world will enter their heart. When the love of this material world enter the heart of the Muslims and their scholars, their heart will become devoid of the light upon which they can see the difference between truth and falsehood and the light, upon which they can’t even read and understand the Quran and make correct the interpretation of the Quran. Only with correct understanding of the Quran, the Muslims and their scholars can make the correct interpretation of the Quran. When the interpretation of the Quran is correct, then Muslims will have the correct actions. Tun Dr Mahathir used to say that the problems of the Muslims nowadays are due to so many wrong interpretation of the Quran done by so many Muslims scholars. Because of the wrong interpretations, Muslims even start to wage jihad towards their own fellow Muslims brothers. Muslims are confused and the whole worlds are even more confused. Muslims who supposed to lead the entire humanity towards light but they themselves are in darkness and Muslims who supposed to lead mankind towards guidance are themselves misguided. The whole world is in real darkness when the Muslims left the work of the Prophet saw.

What is the work of the Prophet saw? The work of the Prophet saw is to invite the entire humanity to recite the Great Kalimah, there is ‘no God except Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah’ and to those who have recited the Kalimah, have to remind them about the Kalimah and to invite them to obey the orders of Allah, the way done by Muhammad saw. When Muslims start doing the work of the Prophet saw with sacrifices, the love of the material worlds will leave their heart and the love of Allah will enter their heart. When Muslims have Allah in their heart, they have light in their heart and only with the light in their heart they can read, understand and make correct interpretation of the Quran. With the correct interpretation of the Quran, Muslims will have correct actions. Prophet Muhammad saw says with the approximate meaning. ‘When my Umat have the love of this material world, they will not have the love of Islam. When they stop doing the work of enjoining people to good and forbidding the evils (work of the Prophet saw), they will be devoid of the blessing of revelations (understanding of the Quran). When they start cursing each other’s actions, they will be away from the blessing of Allah’.

We have six pillars of Iman and five pillars of Islam. The six pillars of Iman are the orders of Allah to our heart and the five pillars of Islam are the orders of Allah to our body. Heart is the king of the body and whatever the heart direct the body will do. On the other hand, our heart are influenced by what the body does particularly what has been spoken repeatedly by our tongue. Prophet Muhammad saw said in the approximate meaning, “A man will not become right until his heart is right and a man’s heart will not be right until his Iman is right and his Iman will not be right until his speeches are right”. What a man spokes repeatedly will becomes his beliefs and Allah has given us the best of all words to be spoken repeatedly by all men so that his beliefs are correct and that word is “I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”. The first pillar of Islam is to bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. In order this Great Kalimah become embedded into the heart of every men and women, this Great Kalimah has to be spoken repeatedly by men and women. The first pillar of Islam is to bear witness that, there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. In order for this Great Kalimah to go into our heart we have to fulfil the right of the Great Kalimah. What is the right of this Great Kalimah? The right of this Great Kalimah is when we see disobedience to the orders of Allah or evils; we must forbid the evils by inviting peoples to good. We must start forbidding the worst of all evils. The worst of all evils committed by men is there do not want to bear witness that there is no God except Allah and to testify Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The best of good deed is to bear witness that there is no God except Allah and to testify that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. When a person recite the Great Kalimah, all his or her sins are washed away and converted to good deeds. A person who does not want to recite the Great Kalimah is known as non-Muslims and a person who has recited the Great Kalimah is known as Muslim. The second  most evils committed by men is, even though they had recited the Great Kalimah yet they do not convey the Great Kalimah to those who have not recited the Great Kalimah and the third most evils committed by men is, they do not perform five times prayers.

With the first pillar of Islam there is an actions associated with the pillar. What is the action associated with the first pillar of Islam? The action associated with the first pillar of Islam is to convey the Great Kalimah to those who have not recited it and to remind those who have accepted the Great Kalimah about the Great Kalimah and the orders of Allah. After Hazrat Abu Bakar r.a accepted and recited the Great Kalimah, he immediately did the action associated with the reciting of the Great Kalimah, which is to convey the Great Kalimah to others who have not recited the Great Kalimah. Prophet Muhammad saw said convey to others even though if you know only one verse. The work associated with the first pillar of Islam is only to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and not to convert them to become Muslim and to remind disobedience Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to invite them to obey the orders of Allah and the first order to invite them to do is the order of conveying the Great Kalimah to non-Muslims and to order them to perform five times prayers. We are not asked by Allah to convert the non-Muslims to Muslims and to make the disobedience Muslims to become obedience but only to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and to remind the disobedience Muslims to obey the orders of Allah. What is needed is only time and enthusiasms to do it. No amount of money and wealth is required to do the actions associated with the First Pillar of Islam. It is an easy order of Allah to do except it is heavy to those who have no beliefs on the promises of Allah. All Muslims should give some times daily which is about 45 minutes either in the morning or in the evening to do the action associated with the First Pillar of Islam. What is the action? The action is to go and visit all Muslims and non-Muslims living in every lanes and roads in the locality of our mosques or surau. We have to visit every houses in the locality, lanes by lanes until all the houses in the locality have been visited. When we visited a Muslim houses, we must salute the household with Assalamualaikum for at least 3 times. When an adult male members comes out of the house, ask him to spend time and remind him about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and invite him to obey the orders of Allah and the first order he is to be invited is to convey the Great Kalimah to non-Muslims and the second order he needs to be invited is to perform 5 times congregation prayers in the mosques or surau. When no one comes out from the house or only the females members of the family is available, then raise your hand before Allah and make doa, so that all members of the household and Muslims all over the world will come to the obedience to the orders of Allah, particularly to the two most important daily orders of Allah. When we are visiting the non-Muslim houses, we must salute the household with greetings for three times. When an adult male’s member of the household comes out of the house, then we must invite him to recite the Great Kalimah. In case there is no one is in the house or only the female members of the family is available then raise your hand before Allah and ask forgiveness for your sins and the sins of all the Muslims in the whole world for neglecting the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw and to make doa so that Allah will give guidance the entire mankind in the whole world to recite the Great Kalimah.

Actions associated with the First Pillar of Islam have long been forgotten by all Muslims in the whole worlds. Because Muslims are neglecting the First Pillars of Islam, the Great Kalimah has not entered into the heart and minds of all Muslims. The Great Kalimah only remains in the mouth of the Muslims. Because the Great Kalimah has not entered the heart of all Muslims, all the actions of all Muslims are absent of iman and as a result  all the actions of Muslims are only superficial. Every actions should have a picture, reality and names. When all actions of Muslims are absent of iman, the actions of all Muslims only have names and pictures but absent of realness. Our solat, fasting, zakat and Haj are only names and images but without the reality. When actions are devoid of reality, it has no power to attract the help of Allah. Actions without reality will not give the performer of the actions any blessing and rewards from Allah. We spend times praying and making doa but our doa and prayers are not accepted by Allah. Our prayers and doa cannot prevent us from committing sins and evils doing and our solat cannot be used by us to solved all our problems. We are wondering why all our doa are not accepted by Allah, although we are continuously making prayers and doa to Allah. Allah knows that we are making prayers and doa to him and but Allah does not fulfilled our doa because we have disobeyed the very First Pillars of Islam. We have not given any time in a day to do the action associated with the First Pillar of Islam. We are only busy with works that we think and believes will provide all our needs. We cannot be bothered to do the work that is associated with the First Pillars of Islam. We have no times for the work of inviting and reminding men and ourselves about the Great Kalimah but we have times for other works. We give time to our families, friends and to ourselves but not to the work associated with the First Pillars of Islam. Because of this our iman is very weak and our amals are devoid of realness and our doa are not accepted by Allah. What a pity, when we have the Great Kalimah with us, but because we do not carry out the right of the Great Kalimah, we are devoid from the blessing associated with the great Kalimah. Prophet Muhammad saw said in the approximate meaning “Everyone who have recited the Great Kalimah, will have its benefits, he will not have any unhappiness and no calamities will ever fall on him, unless he does not fulfil the right of the Great Kalimah”. The companions of the Prophet saw asked the Prophet saw what the right of the Great Kalimah is? Prophet saw answered in the approximate meaning, “When evils or wrong doings are done against Allah, the one who recited the Great Kalimah does not prevent the evils doers from committing the evils”. The greatest evil done by men is they do not want to testify and to recite the Great Kalimah. How should the Muslims prevent the evil doers from committing the evils? Muslims can prevent the evil doers from committing the evils by inviting the evil doers to accept and to recite the Great Kalimah. Who are the one who does not want to accept and to recite the Great Kalimah? The one who does not want to testify and to recite the Great Kalimah is the non-Muslims.

Should all Muslims invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah? The work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah has been forgotten by many Muslims since hundreds of years ago CLICK. When Muslims are not inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah, it means Muslims are not inviting to good and forbidding the evil. When Muslims are not inviting peoples to good and forbidding the evil, their iman are weak, they cannot become true believers and when they make doa, Allah is not accepting their doa, whatever they ask from Allah, Allah will not give them, and when they ask Allah for help, against their enemies, Allah will not help them. How Muslims could be honoured and elevated in this world, when Allah is not with the Muslims. How could Muslims win the wars against their enemies when Allah is not helping them? How could the Muslims solve all their problems when Allah is not answering their prayers or doa? Muslims will be greatly dishonoured, humiliated and devastated in this world when Muslims are disobeying the first orders of Allah, which is to enjoin peoples to good and forbidding peoples from evils. The order of enjoining peoples to good and forbidding peoples from evil is the actions related to the right of testifying that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The first Pillar of Islam is to testify that there is no God except Allah and to testify that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. When a person is reciting the Great Kalimah, he or she is doing good and when a person is refusing to recite the Great Kalimah he or she is doing evil. When a Muslims are not doing the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and he does not pray five times daily with congregation, he is doing evils and when he or she is conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and he guard his five times prayers, he or she  is doing good. When Muslims are practicing the First Pillar of Islam, their iman will become strong, they become true believers, all their actions will have names, shapes and qualities, their prayers or doa are granted, whatever they ask from Allah will be granted and Allah will help the Muslims against their enemies. Once Muslims are doing the actions related to the First Pillar of Islam, all the other Pillars of Islam become very easy to perform. All other actions related to the other pillars of Islam will be done with easiness, punctuality, steadfastness and quality. When  Muslims, have done all the 5 pillars of Islam with steadfastness, punctuality and quality, their iman will increase to the  higher levels and when they have the reached the level of iman required by Allah, they will become true believers or Mukmin and whenever they go they will bring with them their strong  iman and good actions. When Muslims have become true believers or Mukmin, they should move in groups around the world, inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah, reminding Muslims about the Great Kalimah and inviting them to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims and to perform five times congregational prayers with and to teach the Muslims who wants to be the obedient servant of Allah on how to perform the orders of Allah, particularly about the First and the second order of Allah. When they are true believers or Mukmin and they move around the world in groups, they are spreading their qualities of strong iman and good actions throughout the whole world. Tabligh Jamat CLICK sent groups of peoples who are devoid of strong iman and good qualities throughout the world and because of this, iman and good actions are not spreading but what is spreading is only the words and the picture of iman and good actions.

The Second Pillar of Islam is the performance of five times congregational prayers with in the mosques for adult men and performance of five times prayers in the houses for adult women. Because the Fist Pillar of Islam was neglected by Muslims, the iman of Muslims are very weak. Many Muslims are not performing five time’s daily prayers and those who do, are praying mostly in their houses. Very few adult male Muslims are praying with congregation in the mosques and the prayers are devoid of quality. Many Muslims are performing the third Pillar of Islam which is fasting in the month of Ramadhan. Although many Muslims are fasting but the fasting are also absent of quality. With the performance of fasting, Muslims are not getting the desired qualities that should come out from the practice of fasting and five times prayers, because the practices are devoid of qualities. Although many Muslims are rich and having wealth, yet there are very few who are performing the practice of zakat and Haj which are the fourth and the fifth Pillars of Islam and these practices are also devoid of qualities. All the practices such as solat, fasting in the months of Ramadan, giving of zakat and performance of Haj are devoid of qualities because Muslims have forgetting and ignorant on how to practice the first Pillar of Islam. The foundation of Islam is the Five Pillar of Islam and the foundation of the Five Pillar of Islam is the First Pillar of Islam. Islam is destroyed when the very foundation of Islam which is the actions associated with the First Pillar of Islam is neglected by all Muslims.

Although many Muslims say that we have to do the work of dakwah, but many Muslims still do not know what is the meaning of the word dakwah? And what is the hukum of doing the work of dakwah? Dakwah means to proclaim or to invite those who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah. The Great Kalimah is the Kalimah, I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. In the Quran, it is mention, the word to call people to Allah, which means to call people to recite the Great Kalimah. Dakwah means to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and by virtue of reciting the Great Kalimah, a non-Muslim is said to have entered Islam but the Kalimah has not entered his or her heart. Since the Great Kalimah has not entered into his or her heart, the person is not yet a Muslim but is said to have entered Islam(muallaf) or is call as a person who has embrace Islam. In Malay, he or she is said as orang Islambut certainly he or she is not orang beriman which is Mukmin or Muslim. Actually many Muslims are only a person who has embrace Islam or orang Islam and not a Muslim or true believer. In order for a person to become a Muslim, he or she must recite the Great Kalimah and then he or she must fulfil the right of the Great Kalimah by conveying or inviting others who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah and the intention must only to please Allah until Allah is pleased with him or her. When Allah is pleased with him or her, Allah will instill the Great Kalimah into his or her heart. When the Great Kalimah has entered into a person’s heart, that person is known as a Muslim. Allah says in the Quran with the approximate meaning, whose words is better than those who call people to Allah and he does good actions(amals)and he says he is a Muslims. However many Muslims does not know how to differentiate the different between orang Islam and Muslims. Muslims are those who do the work of inviting others (non-Muslims) to recite the Great Kalimah and they themselves do good actions.Therefore for a person to have good action or amal solih, he or she must have a good iman and a person with good iman and good amal is known as a Muslim.

The first order of Allah to a person who had recited the Great Kalimah is to convey the Great Kalimah to those who has not recited the Great Kalimah. The order is only to convey the Great Kalimah and not to force the person to recite the Great Kalimah. The order is only to invite the person to recite the Great Kalimah and not to force them or to try to convince them to recite the Great Kalimah.  Allah has ordered us only to convey the Great Kalimah and to invite them to recite the Great Kalimah and not to force them to recite the Great Kalimah. Allah has given everyone the choice to either obey Him or not to obey Him. Allah has given every human being the choice to accept or not to accept the Great Kalimah. Allah has given every man, mind to think and the freedom to make the choice. The freedom to make the choice is only given to a human being and not to the other creations of Allah. Because every human being is given the freedom to choose, every human being is either to be rewarded or punished by Allah in accordance to the choice that every human being has made. Allah has made hell and paradise for men because men have the choice to accept the Great Kalimah or not to accept the Great Kalimah. The work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims is known as the work of dakwah and the work of conveying the meaning of the Great Kalimah to the Muslims is known as the work of reminding the Muslims about the Great Kalimah. Both of these works are vanishing from the life of Muslims and also from the life of those who have recited the Great Kalimah (orang Islam). When a person has recited the Great Kalimah, the first order that the person must do is to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. Since hundreds of years ago, this is not done and is not known by Muslims and their scholars.  Muslims do not regard the work of conveying the Great Kalimah as the first order to be done after reciting the Great Kalimah. Muslims and their scholars have regarded since many hundreds of years ago that the performance of five time’s daily prayers is the first order to be performed after reciting the Great Kalimah. Since hundreds of years ago or even probably  just after  the time of Khalifah Al-Rasyidin, this order of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims  was slowly forgotten by all the Muslims all over the world.

During those time, many Muslims may probably still convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims but in the form of an individual act but the act of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims in the form of a group or as ‘berjemaah’has definitely died. The work of dakwah at the time of Prophet Muhammad saw was done both as a group work and as an individual work. At that time, Prophet Muhammad saw was the leader of the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. Prophet Muhammad saw and with some of his companions did the work of dakwah as a group from the Prophet’s mosque but all the companions of the Prophet Muhammad saw including males and females at that time do the work of dakwah individually. The work continues as such until the last Caliph, Hazrat Ali r.a dies. After the demise of the last Caliph, the work of dakwah continues to be done by Muslims as an individual work while the work of dakwah done as a group has completely neglected by the Muslims. All the Caliph of the Muslims that follows after Hazrat Ali except Khalifah Abdul Aziz resumes only the responsibility as a head of administration. And not as the head of the work of dakwah or Nubuwah and a head of administration (khalifah). Hazrat Hassan r.a at the time of his death, told to his brother Hazrat Hussein r.a with the approximate meaning, you will notice after I die that the work of Khalifah(administration) and the work of Nubuwah(dakwah) will not be done together. Both of these works will be done separately by Muslims. After the demise of Hazrat Hassan, all the Khalifah of the many Dynasties that follows only busy with administration work and they neglect completely the work of dakwah.

However there are still some Muslims who do the work of dakwah individually but as a group the work of dakwah has died completely. When the work of dakwah done as a group died, all the Muslims in all over the world are sinful and similarly the punishment that come from Allah falls upon all the Muslims in all over the world. When the order of Allah which has to be done at least by some group of Muslims is not obeyed by the Muslims, Allah will descend upon the Muslims calamities that will fall upon all the Muslims in all over the world. One such calamity that Allah has given to all the Muslims in all over the world is Muslims are colonised and controlled by the non-Muslims. Allah has made the Jews to control the Americans and Allah has made the Americans to control the Muslims. Why Muslims hate the Jews and the American? Both the Jews and the American are only the creations of Allah and they do not have the power either to give benefit or harm to the Muslims unless with the permission of Allah. Allah has made both the Jews and the Americans, rich and powerful and Allah has made them to control the Muslims in the whole world. Why Allah lets the Jews and the American to control the Muslims? Allah lets the Jews and the Americans to control the Muslims because the Muslims have disobeyed the order of Allah by not doing the work of dakwah as a group. Although there are still some Muslims who do the work of dakwah individually in this world but the work of dakwah done as a group or jemaah has been completely ignored by all the Muslims in all over the world. The work of Jemaah Tabligh is not the work of dakwah done by a group of Muslims. Jemaah Tabligh is not a dakwah movement but only a tarikat group and is only interested in increasing the numbers of Muslims who can join their group. Although we have Jemaah Tabligh that moves as a group in this world but calamities continue to fall upon the Muslims particularly in countries where the work of Jemaah Tabligh supposed to be active like Pakistan. Why so many calamities come to those countries that supposed to be active in Jemaah Tabligh? The answer is Jemaah Tabligh is not a jemaah that do the real work of dakwah like Prophet Muhammad saw. Jemaah Tabligh is only a tarikat movement CLICK.

What is the hukum of the work of dakwah? All Muslims religious scholars have agreed unanimously that the work of dakwah is Fardu Kifayah. However the Muslims scholars have failed to understand that it is Fardu Kifayah to be done as a jemaah or as a group in a locality. The hukum of dakwah is Fardu Ain on all Muslims. All Muslims who has attained puberty either males or females are obligatory to do the work of dakwah individually. Similarly all Muslims religious scholars have agreed unanimously that to perform five times prayers withjemaah or as a group in a locality is Fardu Kifayah but the performance of five times daily prayers done individually is Fardu Ain to all Muslims who have reach puberty, males and females except when the females Muslims have menstruation period. Both of the first two pillars of the five Pillars of Islam hastwo ways of performing them, one way is to perform the amal with jemaahor in a group in the mosques in the locality and the second way is to perform them individually in any place of convenience to the person CLICK. In each and every locality, the centre is the mosque and both the work of dakwah and  five times daily prayers have to be performed as a group or jemaah at least by some Muslims in the localities in the mosques. When there are some Muslims in the localities who have performed both the amal of dakwah and the amal of five time’s daily prayers in a group in the mosques in the localities, the orders of Allah that this amal has be performed with jemaah or in a group in the locality have been fulfilled by the Muslims in the localities and all the Muslims in the localities are freed from the sins of not performing the amal in this manner. When the amal of dakwah and five times daily prayers are not performed in a jemaah or in a group at the mosques in the localities by some of the Muslims in the localities, all the Muslims in the localities are sinful. This is what is meant by Fardu Kifayah. Both the orders of doing the work of dakwah and five times daily prayers have Fardu Kifayah and Fardu Ain to all Muslims in any localities of Muslims. When there are more than three persons in a localities, both the hukum of Fardu Kifayah and Fardu Ain applied to both amal of dakwah and five times daily prayers. When these two amals are not done in a jemaah or in a group in any localities, all the Muslims in the localities are sinful and Allah will send calamities to all Muslims in the localities.

All the amals in the Five Pillars of Islam CLICK are obligatory or Fardu Ain to all Muslims. However the amals associated with the second until the fifth Pillars of Islam have some exception. The performance of five times daily prayers is not obligatory or Fardu Ain to those women who are having menstrual period. The performance of fasting is not obligatory to those women who have menstrual period, to the weak and old, to pregnant women and to travellers and but they have to replace the numbers of days they are not fasting with some other days outside the fasting month. The giving of zakat is only Fardu Ain to those who are rich and have money of the amount more than RM 3600 deposited in a year in a bank or elsewhere. Similarly the performance of Hajj, once in their own lifetime is only Fardu Ain to those who have sufficient money to spend and to leave behind to the families at home and having good health to travel. Only the first and the second Pillars of Islam have both Fardu Ain and Fardu Kifayah. The performance of the First Pillar of Islam individually is Fardu Ain to all Muslims in each and every locality and done at least by some Muslims or by group in each and every locality is Fardu Kifayah.

Dakwah means to proclaim and tabligh means to convey. Allah has ordered us to proclaim or to convey the Great Kalimah to those who have not recited the Great Kalimah. The Great Kalimah is I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Dakwah or Tabligh is the first order of Allah and it is the easiest order to perform. The only prerequisite to do dakwah, the person knows the Great Kalimah. It has no other prerequisite other than knowing the Great Kalimah. A person upon reciting the Great Kalimah has the responsibilities to convey the Great Kalimah to others who have not recited the Kalimah. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w has said in the meaning, conveys to others even if you know only one sentence. To convey the Great Kalimah to others is an order of Allah and it is the first order of Allah that a person must do upon entering Islam. The first order of Allah is not observing five times daily prayers. The first order of Allah is to convey the Great Kalimah to those who have not accepted the Great Kalimah.

The first order is only to proclaim or to convey the Great Kalimah to others who have not accepted the Kalimah and not to make the person to embrace Islam. The order is a very simple and it is the easiest to perform when compared to all other orders of Allah. Everyone who knows the Great Kalimah should be able to convey the Kalimah to others. The order is only to convey and not to make the person to embrace Islam. None can give guidance except Allah. Whomever Allah wants to give guidance will get guidance and whomever Allah wants to be deviated will be deviated. None can give guidance except Allah. Allah only orders us to convey and Allah does not orders us to give guidance .The work of giving guidance is the work of Allah and we are only being ordered to convey or to proclaim the Great Kalimah to others. When we think that Allah has ordered us to convert the non-Muslim to Muslim then the order becomes very heavy. The work of converting the non-Muslim to Muslim is the work of Allah. When we have taken the work of Allah then the order becomes very heavy on us. We will make excuses not to do the work of dakwah.

Nowadays Muslim believes that the religious scholars can only do the work of dakwah. They also believe that Muslim must be correct first before we can give dakwah to non-Muslims. When dakwah means to proclaimed the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims, the work of dakwah should be the work of all Muslims and not only the religious scholars. Allah has made the work of dakwah obligatory to all Muslims and upon entering Islam; the first order is to do dakwah. When a person does the work of dakwah, Allah will make his iman strong. When Abu Bakar enters Islam, the first order that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w asked him to do is to convey the Great Kalimah to others. On the same day, Abu Bakar entered Islam he has conveyed the Great Kalimah to many others who has not recited the Kalimah and some of them embraced Islam. On the contrary, we asked the person who has just embraced Islam to pray five times daily solat and not to convey the Great Kalimah to others. We believe that the first order of Allah is to perform five times daily solat and not to convey the Great Kalimah. When a person upon entering Islam does not do the work of conveying the Great Kalimah, then his or her iman will be weak. First, their iman should be strengthened by asking them to do the work of conveying the Great Kalimah  and when their iman has increased then only we asked them to do five times daily prayers.

Dakwah means to proclaim, tabligh means to convey the Great Kalimah, and it is the first order of Allah to all Muslims. It is the easiest order of Allah. Allah has ordered all Muslims to do dakwah even if they know only the Great Kalimah. Allah has given  the work of dakwah or tabligh to all Muslims and all Muslims are capable of doing the work of dakwah. Allah has made the work of dakwah simple and easy because it is the means of attaining iman. Iman is the most valuable thing that all men must have. Without iman, Allah will not accept the amals of men. Without iman, men will live in miseries in this world and in the hereafter will have to go to hellfire. Iman is the most important thing that men needs. Because iman is very important and it is the needs of all humankind, Allah has made the work of attaining iman simple and easy. When a person after reciting the Great words conveys the great words to others then Allah will make his or her iman strong. Nowadays Muslim has very weak iman because they have left the work of conveying the Great Words to others. They have left the work of dakwah because they believe that the work of dakwah is to make the non-Muslim becomes Muslim. Allah is the one that will make a non-Muslim to becomes Muslim and Allah has ordered us only to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims.. Whether the non-Muslim that we have conveyed the Great Kalimah becomes Muslim or not, we are successful since we have obeyed the orders of Allah.

When we say to a non-Muslim, enter Islam and bear witness that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah, certainly, you will be successful, then we have conveyed the Great Kalimah. Dakwah is a very easy task to do. It does not require knowledge except knowing the Great Kalimah. When we do dakwah, we are not responsible to convince them about Islam and we are not responsible to make them to enter Islam. When we do dakwah, we are only responsible to convey the Great Words to them. In case they refused, then we make doa so that Allah gives them hidayah to enter Islam. In order to do dakwah we need to give only times. Even the poor can do dakwah. We have to give the minimum 45 minutes daily to do the work of dakwah. When we meet the non-Muslim, we give dakwah and when we meet Muslim, we remind each other about Allah and ask him to do the work of dakwah. If you are interested to learn the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims the importance of the work of dakwah, please call at 019-3584497.

On 16^th November 2011, Bureau Da’wah and Tarbiyyah of Mahallah Uthman Representative Committee (MURC) had organized a religious talk (tazkirah) entitled Da’wah Islamiyyah  at Musolla Uthman, UIAM.

The programme started at 7.25 pm after Maghrib congregational prayer. The tazkirah was delivered by Prof. Dr. Nasoha Saabin, Dean Faculty of Optometry from International University of Technology Twintech.

“Do da’wah with good akhlaq!” said Prof. Dr Nasoha. He added more “Da’wah and akhlaq are two different things, but they complementing each other. Some of us may believe that we cannot preach Islam to non-muslim before we rectify ourselves. No! This is wrong. Your akhlaq will be better when you start to teach others about Islam. These two things are reflexive. That is the beautiful of Islam.”

One of the participants, Firdaus Zawani is grateful to spend his time for thetazkirah. “This is good for me. As an engineering student I can hardly learn about the story of Islam and the concept of da’wah in class. Informal lesson like this can be very helpful for reviving the glory of Islam.”

This Tazkirah programme was conducted once in a month. Participants who are present came from Mahallah Uthman residents, the fellow and also the Principal. InshaAllah, this programme will be continuing for the next semester with interesting and knowledgeable topics to be discussed.
