What is the prove to shows that the followers of Jemaah Tabligh obey the orders of their ulama blindly? When their ulama forbid the followers of Jemaah Tabligh to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims because according to their ulama, nowadays Muslims are weak and are not capable of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims, the whole followers of Jemaah Tabligh in the whole world follow their ulama blindly. It is without doubt, Allah and Muhammad saw have ordered Muslims to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. What are the conditions which are laid down by Allah in order to qualify Muslims to deliver the Great Kalimah? Are Muslims required to be fully rectified before they are allowed to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims? Muhammad saw orders the Muslims to deliver to others even if the Muslim knows only one verse. What is the one verse which all Muslims must know other than the Great Kalimah? What is the verse to be delivered by all Muslims to the non-Muslims? All Muslims have recited the Great Kalimah or otherwise they are not Muslims. After the persons have recited the Great Kalimah, Allah orders the persons to deliver the Great Kalimah to those persons who have not recited the Great Kalimah. On the other hand the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh believe Muslims must be fully rectified before they are allowed to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. This shows that Jemaah Tabligh is not following the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad and in my opinion, whoever is not following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw is indeed has become deviated from the correct path.
Although the order to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims is fardu on all Muslims including to those Muslims who knows only the Great Kalimah but according to the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, the order to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims is not fardu on all Muslims. According to them, the order to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims is only fardu to those Muslims who have become rectified. The ulama of Jemaah Tabligh believe that Muslims will only become rectified, once the Muslims go out in the path of ibadah which they call, in the path of Allah for 4 months once in the whole lifetime, 40 days for every year and 3 days for every month. In my opinion, what is understood by the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh is wrong and it is deviated from the teaching of Islam. It clearly shows to me that the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh do not understand the true meaning of Quran and Hadis. Ulama of Jemaah Tabligh do not understand the true meaning of the Quran and Hadis because they are not believers. The ulama of Jemaah Tabligh are not believers because they disobey the first order of Allah. What is the first order of Allah? The first order of Allah is to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. The ulama of Jemaah Tabligh neither invite the Hindus who live around the Banglawali mosque, in nizamuddin, New Delhi, India to recite the Great Kalimah nor they remind the Muslims who live around the Banglawali mosques about the Great Kalimah and to invite them to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and to perform the five times daily prayers. When the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh are only giving lectures inside the Banglawali mosque and are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils, their iman will not increased to the level which qualify them to become believers. When they are not believers, they will not be given by Allah the understanding of the Quran.
All Muslims know that the order to deliver the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims is fardu on all Muslims men and women. However the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh forbid the members of Jemaah Tabligh from conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. Why the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh forbid the members of Jemaah Tabligh from conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims? According to the belief of the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, the order to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims is not fardu on Muslims because Muslims in whole world according to them are not capable of doing the work of delivering the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. The members of Jemaah Tabligh believe the decision of their ulama is a correct decision and to the followers of Jemaah Tabligh the decision is known as the decision of Hikmah. The members of Jemaah Tabligh do not even know the meaning of Hikmah. What is Hikmah? When Muslims are doing the actions which are the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw, then only the actions are known as Hikmah. When Muslims are not doing the actions which are the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw, then in my opinion, the actions are known as Fitnah. When the ulama and the members of Jemaah Tabligh are not conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims, they are actually not following the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw and when they are not following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw, they have become deviated from the correct path.
In my opinion the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims is the Great Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw and when Muslims are not following the Great Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw, they have become deviated from the correct path. In my opinion, now the Muslims are following their ulama blindly because they are no longer practicing the true teaching of Islam. Muslims and their ulama are no longer practicing the true teaching of Islam because they are not able to understand the correct meaning of the Quran. When they are not able to understand the correct meaning of the Quran both the Muslims and their ulama will become deviated from the correct path. Muslims and their ulama will become deviated from the correct path when they are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. The work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils is the first order of Allah and the greatest Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. When our ulama are not obeying even the first order of Allah, the iman of the so-called ulama will not become strong. When the iman of our so-called ulama are not strong they will not become believers. When our so-called ulama are not believers, Allah will not give our so-called ulama the correct understanding of the Quran. When our so-called ulama are not having the correct understanding of Quran our so-called ulama will start to interpret the meaning of the Quran according to their own mind and not according to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. It is because our ulama are not believers is the reason why our ulama have interpreted the actions of looking only at the faces of the women, talking to the women, listening to the voices of the women, knowing the names of the women and looking at the shoes of the women are all the actions which bring men closer to zina.
Many ulama particularly the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, understand the meaning of the verse of the Quran; “Do not come near to zina”to also include the actions of looking at the faces of the women, talking to the women, listening to the voices of the women and even looking at the shoes of the women. The ulama make all the actions which bring men closer to zina as Haram or forbidden in Islam so that men are prevented from the evil actions of fornication, adultery and prostitutions. Ulama have made it fardu for women to wear Hijab or Burkah when they are outside their houses because our ulama believe the action of looking at the faces of the women is action which will bring men closer to the action of zina. Our ulama persuade our women to remain always within the four walls of the houses so that men are protected from coming closer to the actions which will bring them closer to the actions of zina. I would like to ask the question to the ulama of the Muslims and the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh. Is it true that the action of looking at the faces of the women, talking to the women, listening to the voices of the women are actions which can be categorized as the actions which will lead men to zina and therefore the actions can be categorized are Haram or forbidden in Islam?
In my opinion, the actions of looking at the faces of the women, talking to the women, listening to the voices of the women are actions which cannot be categorized as the actions which will lead men to zina and therefore the actions cannot be categorized as Haram or forbidden in Islam. I would like to ask the ulama of the Muslims? What are the order of Allah and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw when we are looking at the faces of the women, when we are talking to the women and when we are listening to the voices of the women? In my opinion the actions of looking at the faces of the women, the action of talking to the women and the actions of listening to the voices of the women can only be categorized as the actions which will lead men to zina when all these actions are able to arouse sexual desire to the men. What is the sign that the men who are doing these actions are experiencing an arousement of sexual desires? Men should know that they are experiencing arousement of sexual desires when there is a movement of his male genital organ. When there is even a slight movement of the male genital organ, it indicates that the men are experiencing an arousement of sexual desires.
In my opinion, when the actions of looking at the faces of the women, the actions of talking to the women, the actions of listening to the voices of the women and the actions of looking even at the shoes or the writing of the women are able to arouse men’s men sexual desires as indicated by the movement of his male genital organ then only these actions can be categorized as the actions which will lead men to the evil actions of zina and therefore these actions are to become Haram or forbidden in Islam. In my opinion the actions of looking at the faces of the women, talking to the women, listening to the voices of the women, looking at the shoes and to the writing of the women and to shake hands with the women are not Haram or forbidden in Islam if these actions are not leading men to have an arousement of sexual desires. What is the sign which indicates that the men are having an arousement of sexual desires? When there is movement of the men’s genital organ then it indicates the men are having an arousement of sexual desires and therefore the actions which lead men to have an arousement of sexual desires should be immediately avoided or terminated or otherwise the actions may lead to the actions of zina. In case the actions of looking at the faces of the women, the actions of talking to the women, the actions of listening to the voices of the women are not arousing any sexual desire on the part of the men then the actions in my opinion cannot be regarded as actions which will lead men to zina. All actions which do not lead men to the actions of zina in my opinion are not Haram or forbidden in Islam.
When the action of looking at the face of a woman causes an arousement of sexual desire on the part of the man then the action can be categorized as actions which lead men to zina. Allah orders Muslims to be away even from even the actions which may lead men to zina. What is the order of Allah to a man when at the time of looking even at the faces of the women has aroused his sexual desires? The order of Allah to that man during that time is to lower his gaze. When the man lower his gaze it means the man is obeying the order of Allah but when the man does not lower his gaze, the man is disobeying the order of Allah. When a man, while looking at the face of a woman do not causes an arousement of his sexual desire, then there is no order of Allah for him at that time, to lower his gaze. When a man while talking to a woman or while listening to the voices of a woman has caused an arousement of his sexual desire as indicated by the movement of his genital organ, then the order of Allah on him at that time is to immediately stop the action of talking to the women and the action of listening to the voices of the women and to immediately lower his gaze. In case these actions do not cause an arousement of his sexual desire as indicate by no movement of his male genital organ, then, there is no order of Allah at that time, for him to stop talking to the women or to stop listening to the voices of the women or to stop looking at the faces of the women. In other words the action of looking at the faces of the women, the actions of talking to the women and the actions of listening to the voices of the women are only Haram or forbidden in Islam when such actions are capable of arousing sexual desire on the part of the men.
When the action of looking at the women have aroused men’s sexual desire, as indicated by the movement of their male genital organ and during that time, when men failed to lower their gazes, then the men are said to have disobeyed the order of Allah. One action of disobedience will lead to another action of disobedience. Once the men have failed to lower his gaze it will lead the men to another action of disobedience which may finally will lead the men to the evil action of zina. Who is to be blamed? It is not only the women to be blamed but also the men are to be blamed? In my opinion both the men and women are to be blamed because the evil action of zina will only be committed when both the men and the women are disobeying the orders of Allah. Men and the women will only disobey the orders of Allah when both the men and women are not believers. Our ulama want to prevent the evil action of zina by ordering the women to completely cover their bodies by wearing Hijab or Burkah and this will not prevent the actions of zina from happening in the societies. The order for women to wear Purdah and Hijab is not the order of Allah. Our ulama order the women to wear Purdah or Burkah because our ulama want to prevent the evil actions of zina and this will not prevent the actions of zina from occurring in the society. In my opinion the order for women to wear Purdah or Burkah will not prevent the evil actions of zina. The evil action of zina will only be prevented in the society when both Muslims men and women in the society are believers. Men and women will only become believers when both men and women are doing the first and the second order of Allah. What is the first order of Allah? The first order of Allah is to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and the second order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers.

How to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way done by our Prophet Muhammad saw? Our Prophet Muhammad saw was doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils by going out to the houses of the peoples. Our ulama must also invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah, and to remind the Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to invite the Muslims to obey the orders of Allah starting with the work of inviting the non-Muslims to Islam and reminding the Muslims in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw, until Allah is pleased with our ulama. When Allah is pleased with our ulama then only, Allah will make our ulama to become believers. Allah has created both men and women to be equal. Men and women are only different in term of their actions or in term of their taqwa towards Allah. Allah does not make men to become superior to women or to make women to become superior to men. Men will only become superior to women when men have more good actions than women. In Islam a person will only become honored or dishonored on the basis of their actions and not on the basis of their gender, race or country. Men or women will have to bear their own wrong actions. In Islam there is no one who will bear the wrong actions of the others. Men should not blame the women for their wrong actions. Women should not blame the men for their wrong actions. When the evils action of fornication, adultery and prostitutions are more rampant in the societies both men and the women are to be blamed.
When such evil actions such as fornication, adultery and prostitutions are rampant in our societies, men often like to put the blame on the women. When men are blaming only the women it means men are not making the correct judgment and conclusion about the whole situation. The evil actions such as fornication, adultery and prostitutions will not exist in our societies when there is no demand among the men in the societies to have sexual activities with other than their own wives. When there is an increase in demand from among the men in the societies to have sexual activities with other than their own wives, evil actions such as fornication, adultery and prostitutions will become rampant in the societies. When there is a demand then only there will be a supply. When there are many from among men in the societies who desire to have sexual activities with other than their own wives then only the activities of fornication, adultery and prostitutions will become rampant in the societies. Men who desire to have sexual activities with other than their own wives are the men who are not believers. Similarly the women who desire to have sexual activities with other than their own husbands are the women who are not believers. Men and the women who are not believers are the men and women who are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and preventing men from evils and who are not performing the five daily prayers.
In my opinion, men have always been very cruel toward women, because many men believe that Allah has created women in order to serve men or to become the slaves of men. Many men also believe that women are created only for the fulfillment of men’s sexual desire. Women are often used by men to become their slaves, whose main works, according to men, were only to serve men and to fulfill men’s sexual desire. Many men from among the many tribes of the Arabs used to kill their baby girls alive. They buried their baby girls alive because they believe; the birth of baby girls will only bring calamities to their tribes. During the time before the coming of Islam, the Arabs used to become very ashamed on receiving the news of the birth of baby girls. It was the custom at that time, when there were wars, the women from the tribes who lost the wars, will become the slaves of the tribes who won the wars. The actions of making their women to become the slaves of other tribes were actions which according to the Arabs at that time were the calamities to their tribes. Because of this wrong belief, they believed that it was wiser to bury their daughters alive rather than to let them to become alive and grow to become the slaves of other tribes.
When men and women are not believers, men and women will have behaviours similar to the animals. What are the desires of men and women when they are not believers? The desires of men and women when they are not believers are to have a life which will be able to fulfill their desires in this world, such desires are; to have good foods, to marry beautiful women, to marry with handsome and rich men, to live in beautiful houses and to drive good vehicles. Men who are not believers will always desire to have sexual intercourse with beautiful women and women who are not believers will always desire to have sexual intercourse with handsome and rich men. Women who are not believers will always try to deceive men into doing actions which are forbidden by Allah. It is the nature of men to become attracted to beautiful women. It is the nature of women wanting to look beautiful. Women desire to look beautiful because they want to attract many handsome and rich men to become their companions. Which parts of the body of women that are attracted to men? According to many scholars, the parts of the body of women that are most attracted to men are the women hairs, the women bosoms and the shape of the women bodies. According to many scholars of sexual sciences, the face of women are not sexually attracted to men and Allah orders women to cover only their hairs, bosoms and their body but not their faces. Why Allah orders the women to cover their hairs, their bosoms and the shape of their bodies but not their faces? Because men are sexually attracted only to women hairs, bosoms and the shape of women’s body. Who have order the women to cover their faces, to wear Hijab and Burkah? It is the Ulama who have ordered women to wear Hijab or Burkah so that the whole bodies of the women including the faces and the eyes of the women are covered. Why the ulama order our women to cover their whole bodies including the faces and eyes of women? I think our ulama order our women to cover their whole bodies including their faces and eyes because our ulama believe it will prevent men from becoming attracted to women. Our ulama believe when men are not attracted to women then only the evils actions such as fornication, adultery and prostitutions will be reduced in the communities.
In my opinion, it is wrong to believe that the wearing of Hijab and Burkah will prevent men and women from having the desires to commit fornication, adultery and prostitutions. What will prevent men and women from having the desires to commit fornication, adultery and prostitutions? Men and women will only be prevented from having the desire to commit fornication, adultery and prostitutions when both men and women are believers. When men and women are believers then only they will not have desires to commit fornication, adultery and prostitutions. The order for Muslims women to cover their faces is the order of our ulama and not the order of Allah. In my opinion it is not Sunnah for Muslims women to cover their faces or to wear Purdah or Burkah. In my opinion, it is not fardu for Muslims women to cover their faces or to wear Purdah or Burkah because the orders come from our Ulama and not from Allah. In my opinion the order to cover the faces of the women is Makruh Tahrimi or Makruh which is near to Haram. The order for women to cover their faces, to wear Purdah or Burkah is Makruh Tahrimi or Makruh which is near to Haram. There is no reward and no sins for those who are observing or practicing the order which is Makruh. Actions which are not ordered by Allah are not Sunnah and are known as Bid’ah. Actions which are Bid’ah can either be forbidden or Haram or it can also be Makruh. Actions which are Makruh are of two types; Makruh Tahrimi and Makruh Tanzih. Makruh Tahrimi is actions which are near to Haram. Makruh Tanzih is actions which are not very near to Haram. In my opinion the wearing of Hijab and Burkah is Makruh Tahrimi that is very near to Haram. The persons who practice the actions which are Makruh Tahrimi will not obtain any reward or any sins but according to the opinion of many ulama, it is better for Muslims not to practice the order which is Makruh Tahrimi. In my opinion it is wise for all Muslims women not to cover their faces, to wear Purdah or Burkah but to cover only those parts of the body which are ordered by Allah. Allah orders Muslims women when they are outside of their own houses to cover only their hairs, bosoms and the shape of their bodies.
In my opinions, women should not be ordered to remain only within the four walls of their houses, but Muslims women should be ordered to be active with the work of inviting other women to good and forbidding other women from evils. In my opinion, the work of inviting other women to good and forbidding other women from evils should become the main work of all the Muslims women in this world. The order to invite others to good and to forbid others from evil is the first order of Allah to all Muslims men and women. The order of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils is fardu not only to all men but also to all women. With the permission of Allah, in my opinion, the work of inviting other women to good and forbidding other women from evils will increase the iman of the women. When the iman of the women have reached to the level which Allah is pleased with the women, Allah will make the women to become believers. In my opinion, it would be cumbersome for women who are wearing Hijab or Burkah to interact with other women and do the work of inviting other women to good and forbidding other women from evils. Wearing Purdah and Burkah are Makruh Tahrimi or actions which are near to Haram but the work of inviting other women to good and forbidding other women from evils are actions which is Fardu. When women are doing the orders of Allah which is Fardu with the intention to please Allah then only the iman of the Muslims women will become strong. The iman of Muslims women will not become strong by practicing the orders which is Makruh Tahrimi or orders which are near to Haram and leaving the order which is Fardu.
Both the orders of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and the order to perform five times daily prayers are Fardu on all women. The order to cover the whole body of the women including to cover the faces and the eyes of the women does not come from Allah. The order to cover the whole body of the women including to cover the faces and the eyes of the women comes from the ulama. Muslims women are only fardu to cover their hairs, their bosoms and the shape of their bodies. Muslims women are not fardu to cover their faces. The action of covering the faces of the women is Makruh Tahrimi or actions which are near to Haram. There are many women particularly those in Jemaah Tabligh who believe, the wearing of the Purdah or Burkah is Fardu on women when in reality the order is only Makruh Tahrimi or action which is very near to Haram. In many countries in the Arab worlds, as well in countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, there are many Muslims women who are wearing Purdah and Burkah. Many Muslims women in those countries believe that the orders to wear Hijab and Burkah come from Allah when actually the order comes from the ulama. The practice of wearing Purdah or Burkah was only introduced to the Muslims world during the time of Imam Shafie.
What is zina in Islam? zina is defined in Islam as when the man’s genital organ penetrates into the vagina of a woman or into the anus of a man or a woman. In Islam the action of zina is forbidden and the actions which will lead to zina are also forbidden or Haram in Islam. When I was in Jemaah Tabligh we were told not to look at the women. According to the belief of the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, the action of looking at the faces of any woman is the actions which will lead men to zina. Therefore, according to them, the action of looking at the faces of women who are not muhrim is Haram or forbidden in Islam. When I was in Jemaah Tabligh, I was told by the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh to always lower my gaze whenever I walk on the street or whenever I was on my visit to any of the houses of the Muslims. During the time when we were visiting the houses of Muslims we were also told by the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, when there are women who come out of the houses to greet us we must immediately lower our gaze. In Jemaah Tabligh we were told not to look at the faces of women and not to shake hand with any women because the actions will lead men to zina. All actions which will lead men to zina are Haram in Islam. Therefore Jemaah Tabligh defined that the actions of looking at the faces of the women, shaking hands with the women, talking to the women are all actions which may lead men to zina and therefore the actions are forbidden in Islam.
In Jemaah Tabligh men are not allowed to talk to the women and women are not allowed to talk to the men. When a man is giving lecture to a group of women, the lecture must be given behind a curtain and the women are only allowed to ask questions to that man in writing. In Jemaah Tabligh, the names of the wives of any men are not to be mentioned to other men who are not her muhrim. In Jemaah Tabligh even the voices, the shoes and the names of the women are regarded as an aurat, which means the names, the voices and the shoes of the women are not to be exposed to other men who are not her muhrim. In other words, the work of Jemaah Tabligh is trying to separate the women from the men. Why the work of Jemaah Tabligh is trying to separate the women from the men? In my opinion, the work of Jemaah Tabligh is trying to separate the women from the men because they believe women are the sources of evils. Who gives the fatwa that the action of seeing at the faces of women is an action which will lead men to zina? It is the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh who give the fatwa that the action of seeing at the faces of women is an action that will lead men to zina. Allah has never forbidden men from seeing the faces of women. If Allah has forbidden men from seeing the faces of women, certainly Allah will order the women to cover their faces. Ulama are the ones who order women to cover their faces by ordering the women to wear Purdah or Burkah. Ulama of Jemaah Tabligh are the ones who order men to lower their gaze whenever they see the women. Ulama of Jemaah Tabligh are the ones who order men not to look at the faces of the women, not to talk with the women and not to look even at the shoes of the women.
Allah has never ordered the women to cover their faces. Allah has never forbid men from looking at the faces of the women and also to talk to the women, to look at the shoes of the women and to know the names of the women. Who gives these fatwa? Who gives the fatwa that even the names of the women and the voices of the women are aurat? In my opinion, all these fatwa were given only by the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh. The followers of Jemaah Tabligh who obey their ulama blindly spread these wrong practices to the whole world. The followers of Jemaah Tabligh obey their ulama blindly. The followers of Jemaah Tabligh obey the orders of their ulama more strictly than even they obey the orders of Allah and Muhammad saw. In my opinion, the followers of Jemaah Tabligh are being brain washed by their ulama so that they will obey the order of their ulama blindly. What are the teachings of Islam? In Islam, Muslims are thought to obey only the orders of Allah and Muhammad saw blindly but the followers of Jemaah Tabligh are thought to obey the orders of their ulama blindly. It is the belief of the followers of Jemaah Tabligh that to obey the orders of their ulama blindly is the path of their success in this world and in the hereafter. The followers of Jemaah Tabligh believe their ulama are the only persons in this world who know the wishes of Allah and therefore to follow the wishes of their ulama mean to follow the wishes of Allah.

As far as I know, there is no verse of the Quran which means either directly or indirectly that women are not allowed to work, to study or to have a career. Allah does not prevent woman from working, studying or to have a career. In my opinion, whoever is trying to prevent women from working, studying or to have a career is actually disobeying the order of Allah. In my opinion there is no relationship between the order to cover the hairs, to cover the bosom and the shape of the body of the woman and the order to work or to study or to have a career. The intention of working, and studying is to obey the order of Allah and to please Allah and not to earn a living. When either a man or a woman is working or studying, the intention must be to obey the order of Allah and to please Allah. The order to cover the aurat is not only the order of Allah to only men but also to women. The order to work or to study is also the order of Allah. In case a woman want to work or to study, men should not give the conditions to the women that they must cover their hairs, their bosom and the shape of the body. The order to work or to study is another order of Allah and it has no relationship with the order to cover the aurat of either men or women. In my opinion a woman must be allowed to work or to study even though the woman is not covering her aurat. In my opinion in case a woman who wants to work or to study she must not be forced to cover her aurat. Both orders have no relationship with each other. What is not ordered to women should not be practiced by women. Men should not order women to obey an order which is not ordered by Allah. When our ulama order the women to obey the order which is not ordered by Allah, our ulama are actually persuading the women to obey the order which is not Sunnah but Bid’ah. When Taliban and ulama of Jemaah Tabligh prevent women, from working and studying, it means Taliban and ulama of Jemaah Tabligh are introducing Bid’ah practices into Islam. Our ulama should not prevent women from working, studying and from having a career because Allah does not prevent them from working, studying or from having a career.
When the Taliban was ruling Afghanistan, they introduced the rule which did not allow women to work, to study and to have a career. Taliban introduced the rule not to allow women to work, to study and to run businesses because according to them, the laws which do not allow women to work, to study and to run businesses is an Islamic law and with the introduction of the law, the incidence of the evil actions of fornication, adultery and prostitutions will be reduced in Afghanistan. As far as I know, there are no law in Islam which do not allow women to work, to study and to run businesses. The law was not Islamic but according to the understanding of the Taliban the laws which forbid women to work, to study and to run businesses is an Islamic law. In my opinion the Taliban introduced the laws which do not allow women to work, to study and to run businesses is based on their own understanding of the verse in the Quran which orders Muslims to invite mankind to good and preventing mankind from evils. As I had mention earlier that the Taliban and the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh believe women are the source of evils. According to them, the main evils which are to be prevented are the evil actions of fornication, adultery and prostitutions. They do not know that the main evils to be prevented are the evil actions of not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and the evil actions of not performing the five times daily prayers. Since Taliban and ulama of Jemaah Tabligh believe music, singing and dancing are related to the evil actions of fornication, adultery and prostitutions, they believe these actions are also forbidden in Islam.
During the time of the Taliban, Muslims were not allowed to have music, dancing and singing in any of their functions particularly when the functions involve both men and the women. Several boys and girls were killed recently by the Taliban only because they were having a function with music, dancing and singing. According to the believe of the Taliban, the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh and many other ulama, the action of playing music, dancing and singing were also evils actions, which are Haram or forbidden in Islam. The actions of playing music, dancing and singing were made Haram or forbidden in Islam by many of the ulama because they believe the actions of playing music, dancing and singing are associated with the evils actions of adultery, fornication and prostitution. When I was in Jemaah Tabligh, I was told by ulama of Jemaah Tabligh that the actions of playing music, dancing, singing, shaking hands with women and taking photographs were all evil actions. Since all these actions are regarded by the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh as evil actions, these actions are regarded by Jemaah Tabligh as actions which are Haram or forbidden in Islam. Is the action of singing a song Haram or forbidden in Islam? In my opinion a song is just like the syair. Our Prophet Muhammad saw also used to recite syair and when our Prophet Muhammad saw was arriving for the first time, in Medina he was also received by a group of women and men who were reciting syair. In my opinion, when the lyrics of the songs are not contradictory to the aqidah of Islam, to sing such songs without the music in the background is Sunnah which is Sunnat but to sing such songs with the music in the background ,the action will becomes Makruh Tahrimi. When we sing a song with lyrics which are contradictory to the aqidah of Islam, then to sing such song with or without the music in the background is Haram or forbidden in Islam. On the other hand the action of dancing alone or with other men is Sunnah in the category of Sunnat but the action of dancing with other women without contact to each other is Makruh Tahrimi. However, the action of dancing with other women who are not his muhrim and with contact is Haram or forbidden in Islam.
What is the meaning of the word “evil” which is mentioned in the Quran? The word “evil” which is mentioned in the Quran is not referring to the evil actions such as fornication, adultery and prostitution. The word “evil” which is mentioned in the Quran is referring to the greatest evil which is committed by men. What is the greatest evil which is committed by men? The greatest evil which is committed by men is not willing to accept the truth or not willing to recite the Great Kalimah; I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Who is the person who does not accept the truth and who is not willing to recite the Great Kalimah? The person who is not willing to recite the Great Kalimah is the non-Muslims. All the non-Muslims who live in this world are committing the greatest evil to Allah and the Muslims are ordered by Allah to prevent the evil. Allah orders the Muslims to prevent the evil which is committed by the non-Muslims by inviting them to good. What it means by the word to invite them to good as mention in the Quran; it means to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah; I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. What is the greatest evil which is committed by those who have recited the Great Kalimah? The greatest evil which is committed by those who has recited the Great Kalimah is they do not do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evil and the second greatest evil which is committed by those who has recited the Great Kalimah is they do not perform the five times daily prayers.
The greatest evil done by those who have recited the Great Kalimah is not the evil actions of fornication, adultery and prostitution or any other evil actions but the evil action of not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and the evil action of not performing the five times daily prayers. The evil actions such as adultery, fornication, prostitution and all the other evils are committed by Muslims because they are not believers. Why these Muslims are are not believers? These Muslims are not believers because after reciting the Great Kalimah, they do not do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and they do not perform the five times daily prayers. When a person after reciting the Great Kalimah is not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and is not performing the five times prayers, the way shown by our Prophet Muhammad saw and with the intention to please Allah until Allah is pleased with the person, the person will not become believer but will only become Muslim. When a Muslim is not a believer, the Muslim will certainly be tempted to commit such evil actions as fornication, adultery, prostitution and all other evils. The evils actions of fornication, adultery and prostitution are rampant in the communities, not because our women are not covering their faces or are not wearing Burkah or because our women are allowed to go to work, to study, to do businesses without wearing Hijab or Burkah but they are having either no iman or having very weak iman or are not believers.
Why our men and women are having either no iman, having very weak iman or are not believers? Because our men and women are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and because they are not performing the five times daily prayer. Our men and women will be prevented from committing evils actions only when they are believers. When our men and women are believers they certainly will not commit the evil actions such as fornication, adultery, prostitution and all other evil actions. When our men and women have either no iman, weak iman or are not believers, irrespective whether our women are wearing Hijab or Burkah or not wearing, they certainly will be tempted to commit evil actions, such as fornication, adultery, prostitution and all other evil actions. In my opinion the actions of making the women to wear Burkah(to cover the faces and the eyes) and the actions of not allowing the women to study, to work and to do businesses will not prevent the evil actions of fornication,adultery,and prostitution from occurring in our society. Men and women are prevented from committing the evil actions of fornication, adultery, prostitution and all other evils, when both men and women in our societies are believers.
Both men and women in our societies will only become believers when they are doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and are performing the five times daily prayer. In my opinion, the belief that women are the source of evils is a very wrong belief and it needs to be discarded from the mind and belief of our ulama or our Muslims scholars. We will only be able to prevent Muslims men and women from committing adultery, fornication and prostitution when we are able to persuade them to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and to persuade them to perform the five times daily prayer. When they are doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and they are performing the five times daily prayer with the intention to please Allah, Allah will make them to become believers. Our ulama or our Muslims scholars have misunderstood the meaning of the verse of the Quran; ‘to invite mankind to good and to prevent mankind from evils’. The evil which is mentioned in the Quran is actually referring to the evil of not willing to recite the Great Kalimah and the good which is mentioned in the Quran is actually referring to the willingness to recite the Great Kalimah; I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Our ulama and our Muslims scholars understood the word evil which is mentioned in the Quran is actually referring to all evils actions and not referring only to the action of not willing to recite the Great Kalimah and not performing the five times daily prayer. Our ulama and our Muslims scholars understood the word good which is mentioned in the Quran is referring to all good actions and not referring only to the action of willing to recite the Great Kalimah and willing to perform the five times prayers.
Since more than one thousand years, our ulama or our Muslims scholars have misunderstood the meaning of the word good and the word evils which are mentioned in the Quran, Allah has not made our ulama to understand the correct meaning of the word good and the word evil which are mentioned in the Quran. Why our ulama do not understand the correct meaning of the word good and evil which are mentioned in the Quran? Our ulama do not understand the correct meaning because our Muslims scholars or our ulama are not believers. Why our ulama are not believers when they are performing the five times daily prayer and they are also spending many hours of studying and teaching about Islam? Are the actions of performing the five times daily prayer and the spending of many hours of studying and teaching about Islam are not sufficient to make them to become believers? The actions of performing the five times daily prayer and the action of spending many hours in studying and teaching about Islam are not sufficient to make our ulama to become believers. Our ulama will only become believers when they are doing the first order of Allah which is the order to invite mankind to good and forbidding mankind to evils but unfortunately nearly all our ulama have failed to obey the first order of Allah. What is the first order of Allah which our ulama have failed to obey? The first order of Allah which our ulama have failed to obey is the order to invite mankind to good and to forbid mankind from evils in the way of our Prophet Muhammad saw. Our ulama will only become believers when our ulama do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way done by Prophet Muhammad saw and with the intention to please Allah and until Allah is pleased with them. When Allah is pleased with our ulama, Allah will make our ulama or Muslims scholars to become believers.

When I was doing the work of Jemaah Tabligh, I was taught by the elders of Jemaah Tabligh to lower my gaze whenever I see any ladies, women or girls walking on the roads or the streets. According to the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, ladies, women or girls are the sources of many evils. Among the most notable evils committed by men, related to women are the evil actions of fornication, adultery and prostitutions. According to the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh the action of looking at the women are the actions which may lead men to perform zina and therefore the actions of looking at the women is Haram or forbidden in Islam. The ulama of Jemaah Tabligh told us to constantly lower our gaze when we were visiting the houses of the Muslims, so that we are prevented from looking at the women who may pass along the ways or who may come out from their houses to welcome us. In case, there are women who may come out from their house to welcome us, we were advised by the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh not to talk with the women except with our gaze down. In Jemaah Tabligh men are not allowed to talk to the women by looking at the faces of the women. Men may talk to the women only behind the curtain. According to them, the action of looking at the women is Haram or forbidden in Islam. Is this teaching which is promoted by Jemaah Tabligh is the real teaching of Islam? In my opinion there are many teachings which are promoted by Jemaah Tabligh that are not the teaching of Islam. As for examples, going out for 3 days every month, 40 days every month and 4 months once in the lifetime is not the teaching of Islam but the teaching which is promoted by Jemaah Tabligh as if it is the teaching of Islam.
According to the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, women are not advised to come out of their houses and to work outside their houses and in case they want to come out of their house and work, they must cover their whole body including their faces by wearing Purdah (covering the faces but not the eyes) or Burkah (covering the whole body including the faces and the eyes). According to them, the actual place of the women is in the houses and the main work of women is only to rear the children, to take charge of the household chores and to entertain the needs and the sexual needs of the husbands. Women should not work outside their houses and should not study outside their houses and they should not have careers. The recent incident of a young girl who was being shot by the Taliban was because the young girl was advocating and championing the idea that girls should also be allowed to learn at schools and to have careers. Taliban are the religious students of Afghanistan who used to study in the various Madrasah in Pakistan and while they were studying in Pakistan, they were also involved with the work of Jemaah Tabligh and therefore the Taliban understanding of Islam is greatly influenced by the teaching of the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh. Why the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh forbid women to study other than the Quran and Hadis, to work outside their homes and to have careers? The ulama of Jemaah Tabligh forbid all these actions because they believe the women will have to mingle with the men and when the women are mingling with the men, the evils actions of fornication, adultery and prostitutions will be increased in the Muslims communities.
The evil actions of fornication, adultery and prostitutions in the society will only be curbed or prevented when all the Muslims women who are now currently working or studying outside their houses are brought back to remain only within the four walls of their houses. Taliban who have received their Islamic education from the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh also believe that women should not be allowed to work and to study outside their houses and to have careers and when the women wish to go outside their houses; the women must be ordered to wear Burkah or Hijab. In my opinion, what happen to the women under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan is the same as to what happen to the women who are married to the men who are doing the work of Jemaah Tabligh. Women who are having careers but when they are married to workers of Jemaah Tabligh, they will be persuaded by her husband to leave their careers and to remain only within the four walls of their houses. Men who belong to Jemaah Tabligh will try their utmost best to persuade their wives to stop working or to stop studying or to have careers. Men who are the workers of Jemaah Tabligh will be very happy if married to women who are ready to remain most of the time within the four walls of the houses, willing to do the work of taking care of the children, to tend household chores and to entertain the sexual needs of her husband.
According to the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh a working women are the source of evils to all the men who are working around her. Ulama of Jemaah Tabligh, wishes all the Muslims women in this world are to remain only within the four walls of their houses and that their work is only to take care of the children, to tend the household chores and to entertain the sexual needs of her husband. It is also the wishes of the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh that Muslim women should not become career women such as to become teachers, doctors, engineers and all the other professionals. Ulama of Jemaah Tabligh also wish Muslims women should wear Purdah or Burkah whenever they are outside their houses. In my opinion the understanding of the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh about women is also shared by many other ulama that are not belonging to the work of Jemaah Tabligh. There are many women who do not belong to the work of Jemaah Tabligh in many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and India who are also wearing Burkah and Purdah whenever they are outside of their houses. This shows, the understanding that woman should remain only within the four walls of their houses, women should not have a career, women should not study other than studying Quran and Hadis and women should completely cover their bodies when they are outside their houses is not only the understanding of the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh but also the understanding of many other ulama in this world. In my opinion, the work of Jemaah Tabligh only helps to spread this wrong understanding about women among the Muslims in this world.
Many ulama or Muslims scholars believe that the wearing of Purdah (covering the whole body and the face) or Burkah (covering the whole body, the faces and the eyes) is obligatory to Muslims women. It is a common impression among the Muslims that a woman who is wearing Burkah or Purdah is a woman who has strong iman and the woman who is not able to wear Purdah or Burkah is a woman with weak iman. There are many Muslims who believe that only a woman with strong iman will be able to wear Burkah or Purdah while the woman who has a very weak iman will not able to wear Burkah or Purdah. There are many men in the work of Jemaah Tabligh who desire their wives to wear Burkah or Purdah because they believe the women who are able to wear Purdah or Burkah are the women who have strong iman. In order to persuade their wives to wear Purdah or Burkah, many men in Jemaah Tabligh take their wives out in the path of ibadah which to Jemaah Tabligh is to go out in the path of Allah for 3 days or 40 days so that their wives will be encouraged to wear Burkah or Purdah and also to resign from their work, and to remain only within the four walls of their houses. In countries such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Malaysia, where the work of Jemaah Tabligh is very active, the number of Muslims women who are having career will be reduced, the number of Muslims women who are wearing Purdah or Burkah will be increased, the number of women who are not studying in the conventional schools will be reduced and the number of women who study only Quran and Hadis in the Madrasah will be increased.
What makes some of our ulama to believe that women are the sources of evils to men? In my opinion, it is because of the believe which our ulama have that women are the sources of evils, make these ulama to order women to cover themselves completely when they are outside their houses when Allah has orders the women only to cover their hairs, their bosoms and the shape of their bodies. Our ulama have order women to cover themselves completely when they are outside their houses in order to prevent men who are not muhrim from seeing any part of her body. Who has made women to have the status as the source of evils? Are women truly the sources of evils? The evil actions such as fornication, adultery and prostitution are not only related to women but are also related to both men and women. In my opinion, women are not the sources of evils? What make men and women to disobey the order of Allah? Men and women will only disobey the orders of Allah when both the men and women are having very weak iman to Allah or not believers. The evil actions such as fornication, adultery and prostitutions are not caused by women, who are not covering their bodies, or by women who are having jobs or by women who are studying in schools and the universities but are caused by men and women who are having very weak iman or faith in Allah or who are not believers. Why men and women are having very weak iman or are not believers? Men and women are having very weak iman in Allah or are not believers when they are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and they are not performing the five times daily prayers.
What is the opinion of many ulama towards women? Many ulama including those in Jemaah Tabligh believe that women are sources of evils to men. Taliban who learns about Islam from the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh also believe that women are sources of evils. In my opinion it is a shame to all the ulama including those in Jemaah Tabligh to believe that women are the sources of evils. In my opinion, neither men nor women are the sources of evils. What is source or the causes of evils? The sources of evils are the wrong believe and mind of the person who commit the evils and not from others. When a person has a very weak iman or faith to Allah that person will be tempted to commit evil actions. When a person commits an evil actions that person must not blame others to be the sources of her or his evil actions. The person who does evil actions must blame their own selves and not others as the sources of his or her evil actions. When men or women disobey the order of Allah, they should blame only their own selves and not to blame others. In my opinion women are not the source of evil actions to men. Men should blame themselves when men are committing evil actions. Men should not blame the women as the sources of their evil actions. Both men and women are the creation of Allah. Both men and women are the same in the eyes of Allah. Allah give to both men and women the orders of Allah and whoever from among men and women obey the orders of Allah, Allah will make the men and the women to become successful in this world and in the hereafter. Allah has elevated the position of women to be equal to men. Allah orders the women when they are outside of their own houses to cover their hairs, their bosoms and the shape of their bodies. The order to cover their hairs, their bosoms and the shape of their bodies is only when they are outside their own houses. When the women are inside their own houses and there is no one who is non-muhrim to her in the houses, there is no order for women to cover their hairs, their bosoms and the shape of their bodies. What should be the intention to cover the hairs, the bosom and the shape of the body? The intention should be only to obey the order of Allah and to please Allah. The intention should not be because they want to prevent men from looking at their hairs, their bosoms and the shape of the bodies. Allah has never orders women to cover their faces but on the contrary, some ulama order women to cover their faces. Muslims should not obey the orders of ulama which are contrary to the order of Allah. Who obeys the orders of ulama which are contrary to the orders of Allah has made the ulama to become their God. Muslims should obey only Allah and they should obey the ulama only when the ulama obey Allah.
In my opinion, men have always tried to make the women to become their slave. Men always believe that the main work of women is to become the slaves of men, women are believe only to do household chores, bearing and rearing children, to serve men and to fulfill the sexual desires of men. During the time of Jahilliyah women were not having even the right to inherits wealth or to own properties. Women during those times were regarded as the servants to men, the means to fulfill men’s sexual desires, to give birth to their children and to rear their children. In my opinion the ulama of Jemaah Tabligh are trying to bring back Muslims to the time when women were inferior to men and when women were regarded by men only good for giving birth to their children, for rearing their children, for serving the needs of men and to fulfill men’s sexual desire. In my opinion, the belief that women are the sources of evils is a wrong belief and the wrong belief will always lead to many wrong actions. In my opinion the belief that women are sources of evils should be discarded by all the Muslims in this world and both the men and the women should be regarded as the source of good actions and not the source of evil actions as believe by many of our ulama.

Allah has ordered the Muslim to deliver the Great Kalimah to those who has not accepted and recited the Great Kalimah. Allah has given this noble work to all Prophets and to the followers of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Although the followers of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w are not Prophets but Allah has given this noble work to them. Allah has greatly honored the followers of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w by giving them the work of Prophets. When the followers of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w do the work of Prophets like the Prophets do then Allah will give them the worry like Prophets and the love towards humankind as Prophets. Allah has filled the heart of all Prophets with love towards humankind and with these love all the Prophets call people to Allah. Qualities of Prophets will come to the Muslims only when the Muslims do the work of Prophets. Until the Muslims do the work of Prophets, Allah would not give the qualities of Prophets to the Muslims. The first order that Allah gives to a person upon the reciting the Great Kalimah, I bear witness there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophets of Allah is to convey the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims. The order is only to convey the Great Kalimah and not to convince the non-Muslims to embrace Islam. The work of conveying the Great Kalimah to others is call as the work of Tabligh or Dakwah.
Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said in the meaning whoever do not perform solat has destroyed Islam. When Muslims disobey Allah by not performing solat then Muslims have practically becomes the enemies of Islam. When Muslim disobeys the great commandments of Allah like solat then Muslims are destroying Islam. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w did not say that the non-Muslims are the enemies of Islam, as many Muslims tend to believe. Allah says the real enemies of men are the syaitan or the devils. Devils or syaitan are not only the enemies of Muslims but they are the enemies of the whole humankind. Syaitan or devils have only one work that is to make all men to disobey the orders of Allah. Syaitan will make all plans and tricks so that men disobey the orders of Allah. When Muslims disobey the great orders of Allah like Dakwah and Solat then Muslims themselves are destroying Islam. The first order of Allah is Dakwah and the second order of Allah is five times daily solat. Allah gives these great orders to the Prophets and his followers while they were still in Mecca and Allah gives all other orders in Medinah. When Prophet s.a.w said that when a Muslims do not perform five times solat which is the second order of Allah they are destroying Islam, what will happen to Islam when Muslims do not do the work of Dakwah, which is the first order of Allah. When Muslims are not doing the work of dakwah or the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the non-Muslims then Muslims is not only destroying Islam but also Muslims in fact is destroying Islam to the ground. The enemies of Islam are Muslims who are not practicing the orders of Allah. The non-Muslims can kill Muslims but non-Muslims cannot destroy Islam. The non-Muslims who are under the control of the devils can become the enemies of Muslims but they are not the enemies of Islam. The enemies of Islam are the Muslims who are not practicing Islam particularly those Muslims who do not do the work of dakwah and perform five times daily solat with congregation in the mosque.
The Jews who kill the Muslims can be the enemies of Muslims but they are not the enemies of Islam. The Hindus who kill the Muslims can be the enemies of Muslims but they are not the enemies of Islam. When non-Muslims kill a Muslim because the Muslims believe in Allah and Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah, the Muslims will die as martyrs and he or she will enter Paradise. When Muslim dies while disobeying Allah, he or she will enter hellfire. A true Muslim will say I am ready to die in order to make Islam alive but I am not ready to live while letting Islam to die. This was the words uttered by Abu Bakar may Allah be pleased with him when he was trying to encourage the Muslims to go to war just after the demise of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. The non-Muslims are not the enemies of Islam and they are not the enemies of Muslims. The non-Muslims will only become the enemies of Muslims when they co-operates with the devils and syaitan to stop the work of dakwah or the work of conveying the Great Kalimah to the entire humankind. The Muslims who disobey Allah and who try to stop the work of dakwah are the real enemies of Islam. The hypocrites who try to stop the work of dakwah are the real enemies of Islam. Allah cursed the hypocrites more than the non-Muslims because the hypocrites are trying to deceive Allah and the Muslims. The hypocrites are not only imposter but they are at the same times trying to stop the work of dakwah. In the day of judgments, Allah will put the hypocrites in the lowest level of hellfire.

This is an important topic to be discussed and explained to all Muslims. Allah has ordered all the Muslims to unite and hold to the rope of Allah. Unity of the Muslims is the result of our correct actions and not the aim of our actions. Unity is not the aim because our aim is only to obey Allah and our intention in obeying Allah is only to please Allah. When Muslims obey all the commandments of Allah with the intention to please Allah, Allah will make the Muslims united. Muslims will not unite simply because we told them to unite. We can give lengthy lectures on unity but I belief unity will not come to the Muslims with mere lectures. Muslims will have unity only when they have Allah in their heart and the actions of Muhammad SAW on their limbs. Allah is the one who bind the heart between peoples. The heart will only bind when the hearts have the love of Allah. When there is the love of Allah in our heart, we are united. When we have Allah in our heart, we will do everything because it is the order of Allah and our intention of doing it is only to please Allah.

Each one of us can have the love of Allah. All of us can have the love of Allah when we do good actions. In order to do good actions we do not need to be rich or powerful, as we only require the times to do good actions. Muslims cannot unite on basis other than the love of Allah. Muslims cannot unite based on race, language and wealth. Muslims can only unite based on the love of Allah. When the Muslims have the love of Allah in their heart, they will unite. How to make the Muslims to unite is to make them to do the work which Allah has ordered the Muslims to do and when Muslims do that work, Allah will instill the love of Allah in their hearts.

When in the heart of the Muslims there are loves other than the love of Allah the Muslim forever cannot unite. Having the love other than Allah in the heart of Muslims i.e. the love of wealth, power and positions will make the Muslims to fight against each other and be disunited. Many Muslims scholars and leaders are only giving lectures on unity but they do not ask the Muslims to do the work that bring Allah into the heart of the Muslims. The work to bring the love of Allah into the heart of Muslims is missing in action. Therefore, the Muslims are not doing the works that Allah has promised to put His love in the heart of Muslims and make them united. It really causes a great tragedy to the Muslims when the Muslims do not do the work that brings the love of Allah into their heart. As a result, even among the Arab as well as the Malays, they themselves are not united. We cannot unite the Arabs and the Malays and we cannot unite all the Muslims in the whole world since the works that bring the love of Allah to enter our hearts is missing in the life of all Muslims. Thus, it is impossible to have unity among Muslims. Muslims leaders and scholars are calling for unity of Muslims for decades but they do not ask the Muslims to do the work upon which the love of Allah will enter the heart of the Muslims and unite them. When in our heart there is loves other than Allah even if we make hours of lectures on the unity of the Muslims the unity among the Muslims will remain a dream.

Nowadays Muslims are only interested in lectures and seminars on the unity of Muslims. Thousands of words without actions will not bring any result. In order to bring results Muslims must work and the work must be correct and accepted by Allah. The Muslims leaders and scholars must call the Muslims to do the works that bring the love of Allah in their heart and they themselves must do the work. When the Muslims scholars and leaders do the work then the common Muslims will follow.

The Muslims scholars and leaders must not make themselves busy in giving lectures, seminars and forum only and the common Muslims busy listening to their lectures and seminars. They must make the Muslims busy doing the work that brings the love of Allah into their hearts. As long as the Muslims remain to have the love other than Allah in their heart, the Muslims will be forever, disunited.

On the understanding that the unity of the Muslims is achieved when we give them good and effective lectures, the Muslims are busy conducting seminars, lectures and forum at all times. Until and unless all the Muslims do the work that brings the love of Allah into their heart, the Muslims will not unite as an Ummah. Mere talks, lectures, seminars and forum on unity will not bring unity. We should talk less and work more like our Prophet Muhammad SAW. Lectures are to make ourselves and the Muslims to do the work like our Prophet Muhammad SAW. Lectures are to make the Muslims to accept the work of Prophet Muhammad SAW as their own work. CLICK. A nowadays-common practice, a person gives lecture only for the sake of giving lectures and at the end of the lecture, all those who attended will have food together. The aim of our lectures should be to make the Muslims to stand firm with the work of Prophet Muhammad SAW. CLICK. Because of this, Muslims nowadays are busy only with giving lectures and listening to lectures and are not busy doing the work of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
The work that renewed our love towards Allah CLICK and diminished our love towards other than Allah is the work of reminding the Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah CLICK , there is no God except Allah and our success is in the obedience to the orders of Allah. The work that increase our believe or love towards Allah and the Prophet is the work of inviting the non-Muslims to accept and recite the Great Kalimah, there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The detailed on how the work should be done have been explained in my previous articles on the topic, the work of renewing Iman CLICK and the work of increasing Iman CLICK. When the Muslims, do both the work of renewing iman and the work of increasing iman, the love of Allah will be instilled in the heart of all Muslims. When love of Allah is in the hearts of the Muslims, they will become obedience to the orders of Allah. When the Muslims are obedience to the orders of Allah, they are holding strong to the ropes of Allah and they will become united.

Ahluliblis are those who do the work of syaitan. What is syaitan? Syaitan is the name of the work of inviting men to other than Allah or the work of inviting men to evils and forbidding men from good. What is evil? Evil means bad actions. What is a bad or evil action? When a person is unwilling to recite the Great Kalimah or after reciting the Great Kalimah is unwilling to obey the orders of Allah, that person is said to have done evils action. What is good? Good means a good action. What is a good action? When a person is willing to recite the Great Kalimah or after reciting the Great Kalimah is willing to obey all the orders of Allah that person is said to have done good action. What is the Great Kalimah? The Great Kalimah is the Kalimah which states that I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Whoever is doing the work of inviting men to other than Allah or inviting men to evils and forbidding men from good is doing the work of syaitan. Ahluliblis are either from among men or Jinns. Ahluliblis are occasionally known as syaitan. Ahluliblis or syaitan are the inhabitants of the hellfire. Ahluliblis or syaitan are the men and the women from among the human beings or Jinns who are under the command of Iblis. Iblis is the leader of those who do the work of syaitan. Ahluliblis or syaitan are not only practicing evils deeds but they are also inviting others to practice evils deeds. All the non-Muslims and the Munafikin in this world belongs this group of Ahluliblis and they will have no light either in their heart or in their faces.
Ahluliblis are the peoples who commit the greatest evil. What is the greatest evil committed by Ahluliblis? The greatest evil committed by Ahluliblis is to refuse to recite the Great Kalimah or they recite the Great Kalimah but their recitation of the Great Kalimah is not accepted by Allah. All the evils deeds in this world are mostly committed by Ahluliblis. Because they refuse to recite the Great Kalimah or they recite the Great Kalimah but their recitation of Great Kalimah is not accepted by Allah. All their deeds which they have done in this world will be evils or useless deeds and of no value to Allah. The evil deeds done by Ahluliblis caused calamities such as war, famine, starvation, hurricane, flood, and tsunami to come to this world. All calamities which come to this world come from Allah. Allah sends calamities to this world because of the evil actions of men particularly Ahluiblis. When there are more men and women in this world belong to Ahluliblis, then there will be more evil deeds in this world. When there are more evil deeds in this world, there will be more calamities to come to this world. At the time when the world was having both the world war one and the world war two, the world was in great calamities. Wars are calamities. Allah is the One who made men to go into wars. Allah made men to go into wars, because Allah wants to send calamities to men. When there are great calamities in the world such as world war one and world war two, it means, there must be so many evils deeds committed by evil men at that time in the world. Ahluliblis are the peoples who do not believe in Allah and who do not believe in obeying the orders of Allah and who at all time are committing evil deeds. Ahluliblis are evil peoples who desire only the material world and who do not believe in the life of hereafter. The main aims of the lives of Ahluliblis is to amass wealth and power and they are willing to sacrifice anything in order to obtain wealth and power Ahluliblis are ready even to go to war, deceive others, practice bribery, tell lies or do all other evils deeds as long as they are able to gain wealth and power. The Gods of Ahluliblis are wealth and power and what ever will lead them to have power and wealth will also be their Gods.
Out of the seven billion peoples in this world there are about one billion who have recited the Great Kalimah. However out of this one billion there are some whose recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah. Although they may have recited the Great Kalimah and they may have performed the five times daily prayers or they may fast in the month of Ramadhan but when their recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah, in principle they are non-Muslims. The Munafikin may appear outwardly similar to other Muslims but in the eyes of Allah, they are non-Muslims. They become non-Muslims, because their recitatation of Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah. In the Quran they are known as the Munafikins. During the time of the Prophet Muhammad saw there were also the Munafikin who outwardly appear similar to other Muslims but in the eyes of Allah they were the non-Muslims. Munafikins outwardly appeared to be Muslims but they were the enemies of our Prophet Muhammad saw. The Munafikin at the time of our Prophet Muhammad saw were constantly making plans to destroy our Prophet Muhammad saw. Because there is no more Prophets to be send by Allah after the Prophet Muhammad saw, does it means there will be no more munafikin of the type who go against the Prophet Muhammad saw in this world after the time of our Prophet Muhammad saw?
When there is no more Prophets to be sent by Allah to mankind it only means there will be no more revelations or wahyu going to be delivered by Allah to men. It does not mean Allah has ceased to guide men towards the correct path. When there is no more new revelation delivered to men it means, the same laws and orders as revealed at the time of Prophet Muhammad saw are to be practiced until the time of doomsday. Until doomsday, Allah may not send anymore Prophets to guide mankind but Allah may send the Naib of Prophet Muhammad saw to guide the whole mankind towards the correct path. Naib of Prophet Muhammad saw is the umat of Prophet Muhammad saw who is not a Prophet but who is doing the work similar to the Prophets. As the Prophets are given by Allah a Mukjizat, the Naib of the Prophet Muhammad saw are given by Allah a Keramah. When a person becomes the enemies of the Naib of Prophet Muhammad saw, that person also becomes the enemies of Prophet Muhammad saw. When a person becomes the enemies of Prophet Muhammad saw that person has become the Munafikins. In other words, when there is no more Prophets in this world we may still have a Munafikin of the type which go against the Prophet Muhammad saw and they are those persons who have become the enemies to the Naib of Prophet Muhammad saw. Whoever have become the enemies of the Naib of Prophet Muhammad saw it is the same as those Munafikin who at the time of Prophet Muhammad saw have become the enemies of Prophet Muhammad saw. As no one can become a Prophet unless he is chosen by Allah and similarly no one will become the Naib of Prophet unless he is chosen by Allah. Whoever become the enemies of either Prophet or the Naib of Prophet, their recitation of the Great Kalimah will not be accepted by Allah. When their recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah, they have become the non-Muslims or Ahluliblis.
Among the one billion Muslims in this world who have recited the Great Kalimah, majority of the Muslims in my opinion belongs to the group known as the Ahlulmaksiat. Who are Ahlulmaksiat? Ahlulmaksiat are Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah but who are not obeying even one order of Allah. Ahlulmaksiat are not doing the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kaalimah as well as they do not perform the five times daily prayers and they do not fast in the month of Ramadhan and they do not pay zakat and they also do not perform the Pilgrimage to Mecca. The only good deed done by Ahlulmaksiat is they have recited the Great Kalimah. Ahlulmaksiat have no other good deeds except to be able to recite the Great Kalimah. Ahlulmaksiat are the dwellers of hellfire but because they have done only one good deed which is to recite the Great Kalimah, Ahlulmaksiat are eligible to obtain the syafaat of Prophet Muhammad saw. With the syafaat of Prophet Muhammad saw, Ahlulmaksiat are able to enter the paradise. Ahlulmaksiat are Muslims who are engrossed completely in evil pursuits and they do not have any good deed except they have recited the Great Kalimah. Although Ahlulmaksiat are engrossed completely in evil pursuits but there are some who are generous. Allah loves the peoples who are generous. Allah may give to Ahlulmaksiat who are generous, the taufik to make taubah and repentance. In one Hadis it was mentioned that Iblis fears Ahlulmaksiat who are generous. Why Iblis fears Ahlulmaksiat who are generous? Generosity is a quality love most by Allah and because of the generous quality of some of the Ahlulmaksiat, Allah may give them the taufik to make taubah and repentance. Iblis hates those persons including Ahlulmaksiat who make taubah and repentance. Evils practices of Ahluliblis invited calamities to come to this world. Ahlulmaksiat are engrossed with evil pursuits because they are guided by their desires. Ahlulmaksiat are Muslims who follows their desires but they are not the enemies of Allah or the Prophet Muhammad saw or the wakil of Prophet Muhammad saw as the Munafikins. The desire of Ahlulmaksiat is only to have comfort and luxuries in this world. Iblis and syaitan deviates them into the paths of disobedience to the orders of Allah because they have follow and made the desire to have comfort and luxuries in this world as the purpose of their lives.
Among the one billion Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah, some of them belong to another group known as Ahlulriak. Who are Ahlulriak? Ahlulriak are those Muslims who think that they are better because they were able to practice the orders of Allah more than other Muslims or when they think they are better because they have more knowledge than others or when they think they are better than others because they have more wealth. Once a person thinks and believes that he is better than others either in term of wealth or knowledge or ibadah to Allah that person is said to have been infected with the diseases of the soul known as riak or pride. A person is said to have riak when he or she thinks that he or she is better than others either in term of wealth, knowledge or ibadah. What is the truth? The truth is, all the bounties which we have either wealth or knowledge or ibadah belongs only to Allah. In order to test men, Allah gives men different kind and amount of bounties. All the bounties which are given by Allah to men belong only to Allah and no one is supposed to think and believe that the bounties belong to them. Once a person believe and think that the bounties given to them by Allah belong to them, they will start to have pride or riak. We should believe that all the bounties belong only to Allah and are given to us by Allah in order to test us. All the bounties which are given to us by Allah are a trust. Many men become deviated from the correct path because they tend to believe that the bounties belong to them and are acquired by them because of their hard work and not because Allah has given them. Allah has given Qarun an abundance of wealth but Qarun think the wealth was acquired by him because of his hard work to acquire the wealth and because of that wrong believe, Qarun had become deviated from the correct path.
Our works or jobs cannot make us to become rich and cannot fulfill our needs. When we have needs to be fulfilled, Allah orders us to work. We work because it is the order of Allah and our intention of working is only to please Allah and not to fulfill our needs. Our work does not have the power to gives us wealth or fulfills our needs except with the permission of Allah. Wealth is given by Allah and it is a trust from Allah in order to test us whether we use the wealth according to the desire of Allah or according to our own desire. The wealth that we have in reality belongs only to Allah and it does not belong to us. When we are not a believer, we will easily be deceived by our desire and the devil syaitan into the belief that the wealth which we have belongs to us and that we have acquired the wealth because we have work very hard to acquire the wealth. Once we believe that the wealth which we have belong to us, we will tend to look down at others who do not have as much wealth as ours and once a person has acquired such attitude, it means that persons have acquired the bad quality of riak or pride. There are many from among those who have recited the Great Kalimah and who are performing the five times solat and who fast in the month of Ramadhan and who pays zakat and who have performed pilgrimage to Mecca but because they have not become believers, they are easily deceived by their desire and the devil syaitan into the belief that they are better than those who are not performing the five times solat and better than those who do not fast in the month of Ramadhan and better than those who do not pay zakat and better than those who do not perform the pilgrimage to Mecca. Once they believe that they are better than others they have acquired the quality of riak. Many Muslims who have not become believers but they perform all the orders except the first order of Allah will become Ahlulriak. Ahlulriak is also the dwellers of hellfire.
Many Muslims have not become believer because they are not doing the first order of Allah which is the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and it is also the work which fulfills the right of reciting the Great Kalimah. When a Muslim is not doing the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah, Allah will not be pleased with the Muslims. When Allah is not pleased with the Muslims, Allah will not make the Great Kalimah to enter into the heart of the Muslims and the Muslims will not become believers. When Muslims are not believers Muslims will not be able to perform good actions with sincerity. When Muslims are not believers and yet they perform solat and they fast in the month of Ramadhan and they pay zakat and they perform pilgrimage to Mecca, all their amals will be devoid of sincerity. When actions are not done with sincerity, our iman will not increase. Instead of acquiring iman the Muslims who perform all those good actions without sincerity will only acquire pride or riak. Instead of becoming believers the Muslims will become Ahlulriak. Ahlulriak are the dwellers of hellfire. In order for a Muslims, who have recited the Great Kalimah to become a believer, they must do the first order of Allah or the work which fulfills the right of reciting the Great Kalimah, which is the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and with intention only to please Allah.
What is the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah? It is the work of inviting men to good and forbidding men from evils. What is the greatest evil done by men? When men refuse to recite the Great Kalimah, men have committed the greatest evil. What is the greatest good done by men? When men are willing to recite the Great Kalimah, men have performed the greatest good. When a Muslim invites the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah that Muslim is inviting good and forbidding evils. When a Muslims invites another Muslim who does not do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah that Muslim is inviting good and forbidding evils. When Muslims do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah with the intention to please Allah until Allah is pleased and when Allah is pleased with the Muslims, Allah will instill the Great Kalimah into the heart of the Muslims. When the Great Kalimah enter the heart of the Muslims then only the actions done by the Muslims will become good actions because now the actions will be done with sincerity. When a Muslims perform good actions with sincerity then only the iman of the Muslims will become stronger. When a Muslims perform good actions with correct iman then only the Muslims will not have riak or pride but instead they will have tawadhu or humbleness. A person will become a believer only when the Great Kalimah is in the heart of a person and when the Great Kalimah is in the heart of a person, only then that person will have humbleness and sincerity. When a person is not a believer, all his actions will not be good actions because all the actions will be devoid of sincerity. All the five times daily prayers, fasting, zakat and pilgrimage which are performed by a person who is not a believer will not be performed with sincerity. All actions which are done without sincerity are the actions without soul. All actions which have no soul will make no increase in our iman but instead it will make us to have more pride or riak. This type of people belongs to the group of Ahlulriak.
Among the one billion Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah there are some Muslims who can be considered as Ahlultawadhu. Ahlultawadhu are Muslims who have humbleness or tawadhu not because they are believers or because they have the correct iman but because they are in the situation or condition which force them to have tawadhu or humbleness. Muslims who are humble or having tawadhu in spite of the fact they are not believers are those Muslims who are poor either in wealth, knowledge or in good actions. In case the Muslims who are poor either in wealth, knowledge or in good actions have the companionship of those who are rich either in wealth, knowledge or good actions, instead of having humbleness and tawadhu they will have pride or riak. Although these Muslims are poor either in wealth, knowledge or good actions but because they think they are rich either in wealth, knowledge or good actions and that they are better than others, they become Ahlulriak. They become Ahlulriak because they are always in the company of the rich either in wealth, knowledge or good actions and the companionships with the rich have make them to think that they are also rich either in wealth, knowledge or good actions. There are also Muslims who are Ahlultawadhu as well as Ahlulmaksiat and there are also Muslims who are Ahlulriak as well as Ahlulmaksiat. Muslims who have acquired tawadhu or humbleness by virtue of the environments, in which they are in, will change when the environments and situations changes. Only the quality of tawadhu and humbleness which are acquired by virtue of having the correct iman will remain with the Muslims even though the environment and situation keep changing. Ahluliblis and syaitan are forever the dwellers of hellfire and they will not obtain the syafaat of Prophet Muhammad saw. Ahlulmaksiat, Ahlulriak and Ahlultawadhu are also the dwellers of hellfire but because they are Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah they will obtain the syafaat of Prophet Muhammad saw and after they obtain the syafaat of Prophet Muhammad saw they will be able to enter paradise. The only persons who will be able to enter straight into paradise without having to enter the hellfire are the believer or Ahlullah. Muslims other than the believers or Ahlullah will have to enter hellfire first and after they have been punished for their sins then only they will be allowed to enter paradise. Ahluliblis and ahlulsyaitan will remain forever in the hellfire until Allah descends His mercy upon them.

Men are the creations of Allah. Allah has created men so that men will love Allah and become the lover of Allah. Allah wants men to become the lover of Allah. Allah wants men to obey all the orders of Allah with the intention only to please Allah until Allah is pleased with men. Allah is most merciful and compassionate. Allah introduces Himself in the Quran, as the most merciful and the most compassionate which is the meaning of the repeated verses in the Quran; Bismillah-hirrahman-nirrahim. Allah loves men, more than a mother loves her child seventy times. Allah had said in a Hadis Qudsi to ask men to make Allah as the purpose of men’s lives, to make Allah as the aims of men’s lives and to make Allah as men’s lover. Allah also said in the Hadis Qudsi, in case men are able to make Allah as the purpose of men’s lives, as the aims of men’s lives and as men’s lover, men will be able to obtain anything which men want to have in this world and the hereafter. As men, we should know, what is the purpose of our lives? In this Hadis Qudsi, it is clearly mentioned that the purpose of men’s lives is to become the lover of Allah. I still remember, when I was with Jemaah Tabligh, I was told by Sheikh Abdul Wahab who is one of the leaders of Jemaah Tabligh that the aim or purpose of lives of a Muslim is to do the work of Dakwah. He used to tell us and all other Muslims in the whole world that the work of Dakwah is the purpose of live of every Muslims. At that time, I used to think that he was correct and I also used to speak to others that dakwah is the purpose of our lives. At that time I used to follow the elders of Jemaah Tabligh almost blindly and it is only now I know that they are in the wrong path. What is understood by Sheikh Abdul Wahab who is one of the leaders of Jemaah Tabligh in my opinion does not come from the Quran and Hadis but it comes from the Iblis. The purpose of lives of a Muslims is to become the lover of Allah.
The aim of live of a Muslim as told by the leader of Jemaah Tabligh is completely different from the aim of live as told by the Quran and the Hadis. Dakwah is the order of Allah, same as to perform solat five times in a day is the order of Allah. So to achieve the purpose of lives of a Muslim which is to become the lover of Allah, Muslims need to obey all the orders of Allah in the ways of Prophet Muhammad saw with the intention to please Allah. Dakwah is not the purpose or the aim of live of a Muslims but it is the mean to achieve the purpose or the aim of lives. What is the work of dakwah as understood by the leaders and the members of Jemaah Tabligh? The work of dakwah as understood by the leaders and members of Jemaah Tabligh is to invite Muslims to spend time in the path of ibadah for 3 days in every month, 40 days in every year and 4 months, once in the whole lifetime. In My opinion, what is understood by the leaders and the members of Jemaah Tabligh as the work of dakwah is not the same as mention in the Quran and Hadis. In the Quran and Hadis, it is mention that the work of dakwah is to invite mankind to Allah and not to invite Muslims to spend time in the path of ibadah for 3 days in every month, 40 days in every year and 4 months, once in the whole lifetime as understood by the leaders and members of Jemaah Tabligh. And what is meant by the words ‘to invite mankind to Allah?’ It means to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to remind the Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to invite the Muslims to obey all the orders of Allah.
In order to become the lover of Allah, a Muslim must obey all the orders of Allah particularly they must obey the first order of Allah. The first order of Allah is the most important order of Allah as compared with all the other orders of Allah. Nowadays, almost all the Muslims in the whole world are not doing the first order of Allah. Muslims are not doing the first order of Allah not because they do not want to obey the first order of Allah but because they do not understand what is the first order of Allah really is. After reciting the Great Kalimah, Muslims are not doing the first order of Allah, because since more than one thousand years ago Muslims were told by their Muslims scholars that the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to invite mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. A person only becomes Muslims and not believers when a person recites the Great Kalimah. In order to become a believer a Muslim after reciting the Great Kalimah need to obey the first order of Allah. What is the first order of Allah to be performed by a person who has just recited the Great Kalimah? The first order of Allah to be performed by a person who has recited the Great Kalimah is to invite mankind to good and to forbid mankind from evils. Since more than one thousand years ago, all the Muslims scholars and the Muslims in the whole world think and believe that the first order of Allah to be done by a person after reciting the Great Kalimah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to invite mankind to good and to forbid mankind from evils. Because of this misunderstanding, more than one thousand years the Muslims as well as all Muslims scholars are not doing the work of inviting mankind to good and to forbidding mankind from evils the way done by our Prophet Muhammad saw.
A Muslim will not become the lover of Allah until the Muslim obey all the orders of Allah, with the intention only to please Allah until Allah is pleased with the Muslim. When Allah is pleased with a Muslim, the Muslim will become the lover of Allah. When a Muslim has become the lover of Allah, the Muslim has achieved the purpose of his or her lives. A person who has achieved the purpose of his or her lives is known as the believer. A person will become a believer when the Great Kalimah has entered into that person’s heart and a believer is known as the man of Allah or Ahlullah. Ahlullahs are the lover of Allah and whoever has become the lover of Allah, Allah will become his or her guardian. Ahlullah loves Allah and loves all other Ahlullah. Ahlullahs are the lover of Allah and whoever causes harm either physically or emotionally to Ahlullah, Allah will declare wars towards that person who had caused harm to Ahlullah. Since all Ahlullahs are the lover of Allah, the prayers of Ahlullah are accepted by Allah and Allah overlooks the shortcoming of all Ahlullah. Ahlullah is a person who follows the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. All Ahlullah are doing the main Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw which is the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. Many Muslims think that the main Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw are the ways on how the Prophet Muhammad saw eat and drink and wear turbans and not the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils.
I have read a book written by one Muslims scholar about the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. In the book it was mention that the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw are the activities which are done daily by our Prophet Muhammad saw such as the way the Prophet Muhammad saw sleep, eat and drink but the book does not even mention the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils as the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. All Ahlullahs must do the main Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw which is the work of calling men to Allah or the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. Without doing the main Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw it is impossible for a person to become Ahlullah. Ahlullah is also the person who performs the five times daily prayers with congregation and they perform their prayers with khusyuk and concentration. Since nowadays there is hardly anyone in this world, who is practicing the main Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw in the way done by our Prophet Muhammad saw, I, therefore, in the opinion that there is hardly any Ahlullah in this world today. A person will never become Ahlullah without practicing the main Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw. The main Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad saw is the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils done with the intention only to please Allah.
There is a Hadis in which it is mention that a person will become the lover of Allah by performing the non-obligatory prayers or nafil prayers profusely. This must be a false Hadis. This Hadis is written in the book of Fadail Amal which is used by the members of Jemaah Tabligh as the only book to be read in their taklim. Azazil used to perform the non-obligatory prayers or nafil prayers profusely but in the end of the day he becomes Iblis who is the great enemy of Allah. Muslims cannot become the lover of Allah by performing non-obligatory or nafil prayers profusely but a Muslims can become the lover of Allah only by doing the work which is loved most by Allah. What is the work which is loved most by Allah? The work which is loved most by Allah is the work of calling men to Allah or the work of inviting men to good and forbidding Mankind from evils. What are the words which are loved most by Allah? The words which are loved most by Allah are the words of calling peoples to Allah. What is the work which is loved most by Allah? The work which is loved most by Allah is the work of inviting men to Allah. The work of inviting men to Allah is the same as the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils. It is not possible for a person to become the lover of Allah without doing the work of calling men to Allah or without doing the work of inviting men to good and forbidding Mankind from evils. The work of calling men to Allah or the work of inviting men to good and forbidding Mankind from evils must be done in the way of our Prophet Muhammad saw and with the intention only to please Allah. When Allah is pleased with a person, it means Allah loved that person, and when Allah loved a person it means that the person has become Ahlullah.
How the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils is done in the way of our Prophet Muhammad saw? There are many Muslims who think that they are doing the work of inviting men to good and forbidding men from evils the way done by our Prophet Muhammad saw but in reality they are not doing the work of inviting men to good and forbidding men from evils the way done by our Prophet Muhammad saw. Many Muslims think that the word mungkar or evils in the Quran refer to all types of mungkar or evils and the word good or virtue in the Quran refer to all kind of good and virtues. Many Muslims think that to participate or to be involved in demonstration rallies is also the work to prevent evils or mungkar. What is the real meaning of the word mungkar and good as mention in the Quran? In order to understand the Quran we have to understand, what mungkar means to Allah and what good means to Allah and not what mungkar means to men and not what good means to men. We have to understand the Quran according to the desire of Allah and not according to our desire. When we interpret the Quran according to our desire, we will have a wrong understanding of the Quran. According to the Quran, the word good means, the action of reciting the Great Kalimah and the word mungkar in the Quran means the actions of not willing to recite the Great Kalimah.
What it means in the Quran by the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils is the work which is done by our Prophet Muhammad saw and all the Prophets in the past. It is the work of visiting the peoples in their houses and business premises with the intention of inviting the peoples to Allah. What it means by the word, to invite the peoples to Allah? It means, a person who is not Muslims must be invited to recite the Great Kalimah and become Muslim and a person who is a Muslims must be reminded about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and invited to obey all the orders of Allah. A Muslim who has just started to recite the Great Kalimah must be invited to obey the first order of Allah which is to invite mankind to good and to forbid mankind from evils. Nowadays, unfortunately all the Muslims scholars and Muslims understand that the first order of Allah is to perform the five times daily prayers and not to invite mankind to good and to forbid mankind from evils. When a person recites the Great Kalimah that person only becomes a Muslims and not a believer. In order for that person to become a believer that person must obey the first order of Allah which is to the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils and with the intention only to please Allah until Allah is pleased with that person. When Allah is pleased with that person that person will become a believer and the lover of Allah or Ahlullah.
When the Great Kalimah has entered into a person’s heart, that person will become a believer or the lover of Allah or Ahlullah. But is there any Ahlullah in this world today? Since there is hardly anyone in this world who is doing the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding mankind from evils in the way done by our Prophet Muhammad saw with steadfastness, I am sure that there is hardly one Ahlullah nowadays. In my opinion, in case we even have only one Ahlullah in this world, we certainly will be able to live in this world with blessing and happiness. A world, in which there is no Ahlullah, is a world with full of calamities and the calamities will come to the world continuously as the rains fall continuously on the earth. In my opinion there are five (5) groups of men who live in this world and Ahlullah is one of the groups of peoples who live in this world. The other four groups of men are the Ahluliblis, Ahlulriak, Ahlulmaksiat and Ahlultawadhu.
All of us know that there are about seven billion peoples in this world. Out of the seven billion peoples who live in this world, in my opinion, the majority of them belong to the four groups of men. In my opinion and the majority among the four groups of men belong to the group known as Ahluliblis or Ahlulsyaitan. Who is Ahluliblis? In my opinion all the non-Muslims in this world belong to the group known as Ahluliblis and that include the Muslims whose recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah. Muslims whose recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah is in reality are non-Muslims and they also belongs to the group of Ahluliblis or syaitan. Muslims, whose recitation of the Great Kalimah is not accepted by Allah, outwardly will look like all the other Muslims but in reality they are non-Muslims. In the Quran they are known as the munafikin. Who are the Muslims whose recitation of the Great Kalimah is not accepted by Allah? Among the Muslims whose recitation of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah, are the Muslim who does not believe in any of the verses or even in one verse of the Quran. Muslim who does not believe in the Sunnah or even in one Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad saw is also Muslim whose recitation of the Great Kalimah is not accepted by Allah.
Muslim who has even an iota of enmity towards Allah, towards Prophet Muhammad saw and towards the Naib of Prophet Muhammad saw and Muslims who works very hard in order to earn a living in this world and Muslims who lies and Muslims who does not fulfill their promises are all included in the group of Muslims whose recitation of the Great Kalimah is not accepted by Allah. When Allah does not accept the recitation of the Great Kalimah of a Muslims the Muslim will become non-Muslims. In the Quran they are known as the Munafikin. A Munafikin is a non-Muslim. Although a Munafikin may perform prayers or fast in the month of Ramadhan but their prayers and their fasting are not accepted by Allah. The prayers and fasting of the Munafikin will not make them to become Muslims. They become non-Muslim because their recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah. When their recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah, their prayers and fasting are also not accepted by Allah. Among the Muslims there are many who pray and fasts and who think they are Muslims but in reality they are non-Muslims. Although they recite the Great Kalimah but they are non-Muslims because their recitations of the Great Kalimah are not accepted by Allah. Munafikins are non-Muslims and they belong to the group known as Ahluliblis or Ahlulsyaitan.

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.

Allah is the name of the Creator that creates the entire universe .Allah is also the Creator that creates mankind. Allah has many other names but He like to be call by the name Allah. Allah has no son and He is alone and supreme and has no association in whatever forms with His creation. Allah has created men as the best of all His creation and along with the creation of men Allah has given them His orders. When men obeyed the orders of Allah then men will certainly becomes the best of all creation. When men disobeyed the orders of Allah, men will become the worst of all creations. In order to deliver the orders of Allah to mankind and to show how the orders should be carried out, Allah has sent throughout the centuries to mankind many Prophets. The Prophets are human being that has been selected by Allah to deliver the orders of Allah to mankind.
Allah has selected Isa or Jesus as Prophet. He is sent by Allah to the Jews people whom Allah previously had also sent Musa or Moses as Prophet to them. Allah has sent many Prophets to the Jews but the Jews have killed many of them. The Jews had also tried to kill Prophet Isa or Jesus but they are unsuccessful. Allah has taken Prophet Isa or Jesus to the sky and he will only descend to the earth when the time comes. The one who has been crucified by the Jews was not Prophet Isa or Jesus but Judas the estranged followers of Prophet Isa, whose face Allah have changed to look likes Prophet Isa or Jesus. However those that believe in Allah and have accepted Isa or Jesus as Prophets continue to practice the orders of Allah as shown by Prophet Isa or Jesus even though Prophet Isa or Jesus at that time was no longer with them. As times goes on the practice of the orders of Allah by the Muslim as shown by Prophet Isa or Jesus start to decline. Those who have weak iman or faith in Allah but they love Prophet Isa or Jesus so much, they start to uplift the status of Prophet Isa or Jesus, from a normal human being to the status, as a son of God.
Allah has no son and Allah is one and Allah has no associate or partner. Prophet Isa or Jesus is the son of Mariam the pious lady whom Allah has chosen as a mean to give birth to Prophet Isa or Jesus. Allah has created Adam from clay and Hawa is being created from the ribs of Adam. Allah can make Mariam the pious lady to give birth to Prophet Isa or Jesus without Mariam need to have sexual intercourse with any men. Prophet Isa or Jesus has no father and he has only a mother. Allah is the Creator and Allah is able to create Prophet Isa or Jesus even without a mother and a father. The present day so call Christians used to be Muslims in the time of Prophet Isa or Jesus and who love and regard Isa or Jesus as only Prophets as all Muslims nowadays do. However when their faith in Allah weakened they start to associate Allah with other Gods and they start to believe Isa or Jesus not as a Prophet but as the son of God.
Allah has no son, daughter or a wife. Allah is one and supreme and He has no associate or partner in His power. If the Christians in Malaysia want to change the word God to Allah, they must change their belief .From believing that God has a son named Jesus who has to be crucified for the atonement of sins done by men to the belief that Allah has no son and Jesus is only a Prophet and not the son of Allah. If the Christians in Malaysia want to change the word God to Allah and still believing that Allah has a son named Isa or Jesus then the Christians in Malaysia with clear intention is trying to disgrace Allah and it is the incumbent duty of all Muslims in the whole world to stop them from doing that. The Christians in Malaysia must also belief that Allah is not only having no son named Isa or Jesus but also after Prophet Isa or Jesus, Allah has sent the last Prophet named Muhammad s.a.w. The Christians in Malaysia must also accept Muhammad s.a.w as the last Prophet of Allah if they want to change the word God with Allah.
If the Christians in Malaysia refused to do this then they should stick to the use of the word God instead of Allah. Why the Christians from other parts of the world are using the word God instead of Allah. Are the Christians in Malaysia different from the Christians from other parts of the world? What is the agenda of the Christians in Malaysia in trying to use the word Allah instead of God? The Christians in Malaysia should consult their Pope in the Vatican City before trying to use the word Allah instead of God. The use of the word Allah or God in Christianity is the decision between the Pope and the World supreme councils of Muslims scholars and not the decision of one civil judge of the Malaysian court. The action of the Christians in Malaysia to change the word God to Allah is political and subversive and the action is not sincere and not religious. The decision of the Malaysian court is not correct and must be reviewed. The court has acted beyond its ability and capability
