<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Wahai Tuhan kami! Sesungguhnya aku
telah menempatkan sebahagian dari zuriat keturunanku di sebuah lembah (Tanah
Suci Makkah) yang tidak tanaman padanya, di sisi rumahMu yang diharamkan
mencerobohinya. Wahai Tuhan kami, (mereka ditempatkan di situ) supaya mereka
mendirikan sembahyang (dan memakmurkannya dengan ibadat). Oleh itu, jadikanlah

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Setiap
jiwa manusia, pasti akan merasai kegelisahan, keresahan ataupun kerisauan. Ini
pastinya satu fitrah yang telah pun Allah anugerahkan kepada makhluk-Nya yang
teristimewa ini. Apabila dalam kekalutan, keresahan, kerisauan, maka manusia
itu menginginkan ketenangan dan pastinya dia akan berusaha untuk mencari
ketenangan tersebut. Sakinah itulah yang membawa maksud ketenangan, atau dari
segi bahasanya diam seketika. Jika Allah hendak berikan ketenangan itu,
pastinya Dia akan menguji hamba-Nya terlebih dahulu supaya kita dapat menikmati
nikmat (ketenangan) itu dengan sepenuhnya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ramai
manusia telah tersalah sangka bahawa ketenangan atau kebahagiaan. Selalu orang
mengaitkan ketenangan itu datangnya daripada faktor harta yang banyak dan
faktor kekayaan. Harta mungkin merupakan salah satu faktor yang membawa manusia
kepada kebahagiaan, tetapi bukanlah ia segala-galanya dalam hidup ini. Betapa
ramai orang yang tinggal dalam rumah yang besar, tidur atas katil yang empuk,
tetapi tidurnya mungkin tidak lenanya atau tidurnya mungkin tidak nyenyak.
Bahkan mungkin ada mereka yang tinggal dipondok yang buruk miliki tidur yang
lebih lena dan nyenyak daripada kita. Mungkin si kaya sedang memikirkan
bagaimana hendak menjaga hartanya daripada dicuri atau dirompak, manakala si
miskin tidak perlu untuk memikirkan perkara-perkara itu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ada pula orang yang di hadapannya dihidangkan makanan yang mewah-mewah, lauk
pauk yang hebat belaka, tetapi mungkin dilidahnya dia tidak dapat untuk
menikmati keenakkan makanan tersebut. Mungkin lebih enak lagi di lidah orang
yang hanya makan satu atau dua jenis lauk yang biasa-biasa sahaja. Kata HAMKA,
“lihatlah bagaimana Allah telah membahagi-bahagikan rezeki-Nya dan nikmat-Nya
kepada makhluk-makhluk”. Pastinya dalam keadaan yang sangat adil dan seimbang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

orang sangka jika mempunyai rumah yang besar, makan makanan yang sedap (mewah),
pastinya orang itu orang yang memiliki kebahagiaan dan ketenangan. Belum tentu!
Jika Allah hendak berikan kebahagiaan kepada seseorang, ianya pasti tidak boleh
dihalang oleh apa-apa tangan sekalipun. Jika Allah menghalang kebahagiaan dan
ketenangan daripada dimiliki oleh seseorang, dia pastinya tidak akan mendapat
kebahagiaan itu daripada apa-apa tangan sekalipun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

salah seorang dari dua (sahabat) semasa mereka berlindung di dalam gua, ketika
ia berkata kepada sahabatnya: "Janganlah engkau berdukacita, sesungguhnya
Allah bersama kita". Maka Allah menurunkan semangat tenang tenteram

diri kita sendiri walaupun sekelip mata. Manusia, dunia ini boleh saja
memperlaku apa saja kepada diri kita, namun tidak ada yang boleh mencabar
kebesaran dan kekuasaan Allah. Jika Allah yang mengurus dan mengatur hidup
kita, mungkin pada sangkaan orang kita akan tewas tetapi Allah-lah yang
memenangkan dan kita akan lihat kemenangan di sisi Allah. Apa yang orang lain

hilang segala-galanya. Apabila dilanda musibah dan kita pula merasakan inilah
yang paling perit sekali pernah dilalui dalam hidup ini. Tetapi hari ini Allah
telahpun mengeluarkan kita daripada segala keperitan dan kesempitan kepada
hidup yang seperti sediakala ini. Masa ini masih lagi berjalan, usia kita terus
meningkat dan kita masih lagi mampu menikmati kurniaan hidup ini,

Nabi ceritakan dalam satu hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Muslim. Allah
bawakan seorang manusia yang paling derita hidupnya di dunia, lalu dicelup
seketika ke dalam syurga. Kemudian Allah pun bertanya kepadanya, adakah engkau
pernah merasai derita ketika masih hidup, lalu orang itu pun menjawab
bahawasanya dia tidak pernah merasai derita. Begitu cepat dia lupakan deritanya
di dunia. Kemudian Allah bawakan pula seorang manusia yang tidak pernah merasai
derita ketika hidup di dunia, lalu dicelup seketika ke dalam neraka. Kemudian
Allah pun bertanya kepadanya, adakah engkau pernah merasai segala nikmat ketika
masih hidup, lalu orang itu pun menjawab dia tidak pernah merasai kebahagiaan.

selalu sangka hendak bersyukur itu kalau kita dianugerahkan sesuatu kepada
kita. Kita lupa bahawa hakikat yang kita sedang miliki ini merupakan satu
nikmat yang besar. Sebagai contoh, seorang hamba yang patah tanganya, pastinya
dia ketika sihat tidak pernah untuk mensyukuri nikmat itu. Namun apabila sudah
berada dalam keadaan kurang upaya, maka pada ketika itu barulah dia sedar
bahawa besarnya nikmat Allah itu kepada dirinya. Kata HAMKA, “yang ada ini
sudah harapan kita”. Bukan satu kesalahan untuk kita mengharapkan sesuatu yang
baru tetapi jangan dilupa benda yang sudah ada.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sarjana mengatakan bahawa darjat syukur itu lebih tinggi daripada darjat sabar.
Ramai orang yang terpaksa bersabar, tetapi belum tentu orang yang mendapat
nikmat itu mampu untuk bersyukur. Jika kita benar-benar perhatikan kehidupan
kita ini, pasti kita akan sedar bahawa apa yang Allah berikan ini adalah sudah
melebihi daripada apa yang kita harapkan dan daripada apa yang kita perlukan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good
instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is

[rightly] guided.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[<b>AN-NAHL Ch.16: V.125</b>]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In giving definition or meaning to
something, we need to go back to its original source so that we can get the
correct meaning or definition. It is the same goes to the religion, in this
case is about Islam. in order to define Islam, we need to go to the source of
this religion that is Quran and also Hadith that are authentic and sure from
Prophet Muhammad pbuh. In this few months, many things happened and people try
to relate it to Islam especially cases like killing other people, terrorism,
bombing and many more. From that, they will say that Islam is the religion of
terrorist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Because of this, I write this entry to
clear the misunderstood about this religion. After a very long break, now Allah
gives me a chance to do something that may give benefits to this religion. Although
many other people had done the same thing, but I will do it with my own style
and I also want to be included into the group of people that defend Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Islam is the religion of peace. The name
itself already derived from the word that has meaning of peace. It is clear
that, the name of the religion and the content of the religion cannot be
contradicted. When the Prophet Muhammad came to the Medina, the first thing he
did is that, he said to the people to give “salam”. It means that to pray for
the peacefulness to other people. That is his slogan and he never ever told the
people to kill other people that are not having the same religion with him. Although
he has the power as he is the leader is the Medina, still he did not do any
decision by his own and he never force other people to embrace Islam and also
never threatened other people so that they need to embrace Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with
them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have
disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and
consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah.
Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When people do not know about Islam,
then they said that Islam is a religion of terrorism it is weird. How come you
can say something on the thing that you did not know exactly? You are trying to say
something that you did not even know about it. Maybe some people watching the
news in the media, showing some cases that related to the Muslim people. But most
of the time, media are trying to make an accusation on the thing that the
Muslim never done. You need to be fair on judging this kind of issue. When a
person did something bad, it is not the religion that guides him to do so, but
it is because of him that did not know to differentiate which is right and
wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Like I said in the earlier part of
this entry, we need to go to the original source of this religion that is Quran
and authentic Hadith. You can open up Quran and you can find 114 chapters in
it. Every chapter starting with the verse of “In the name of Allah, the
Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful” except for the chapter ninth of
at-Tawbah. However it is replaced in the other chapter, there is one verse that
again repeating the verse that I quoted. This beautiful verse has the whole
meaning inside it. How come a book that repeating this verse for 114 times can
promotes violence? It is ridiculous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the first verse that I quoted, it
shows that Islam is a religion of peace. Islam teaches us to invite people to
Allah and to this religion with wisdom and good instructions. The second verse
said that an aggressive method is not encouraged. These two verses is good
enough to show that in order to tell Islam to other people, Islam teaches us
not to use method that make people feel uncomfortable with us. We need to say
good words and do good things in order to make people fall in love with this
religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that
whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land -
it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if
he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them
with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the
land, were transgressors.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[<b>AL-MAIDAH Ch.5: V.32</b>]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The above verse is telling the story
about the Children of Israel that most people said that are Habil and also
Qabil. You can check my entry before about the two people. At the end of this
story, Allah said in the Quran that killing without reason is the greatest
sins. Islam told us that if we kill a person, it is just like you are killing
the whole nation. This is because you are making people afraid and feel unsafe.
However, if you safe other people, actually you are like saving the whole
nation. Because people will feel safe as there is presence of you among them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> This is beautiful verse that can be
proves that Islam never come to promote violence of terrorism. This is the best
argument can be used to defend this religion. It is clear that Islam never
support terrorism. Never mind who did the violence or terrorism, Islam never
support them, although they are Muslim. This is because Islam never teaches us
to do so. The wrong doing is still wrong without compromising with anyone or
any group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Actually in one Hadith, Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him already advice his companion not to hurt
non-Muslims. If there is people who is hurting the non-Muslims, our Prophet
will be the person that going to support the non-Muslims at the end of the day
to claim the wrong doing. Islam is a very fair religion and is not racist or
only for certain people or just supporting some people, but Islam is for all
and the justice is for the person that are right not for a Muslim only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Alhamdulillah. It is good to be back
writing here after a very long break. I am so sorry for that. This time I started
my entry with Khutbatul Hajah. Our Prophet Muhammad saw always start his speech
with that kind of beginning. This month (January) is already the 13<sup>th</sup>
month that this blog already exist. Alhamdulillah. Although not so many entries
and viewers, but it still gives something and I also earned something.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Today’s topic is about “Misquoting
Muhammad”. I had idea to write about this about listening to someone Friday’s
Khutbah. It is also because of what had happen in Paris, France. There is
newspaper’s company that had insulted our Prophet Muhammad through the cartoon
that they draw. They said that they are free to do so in the name of freedom of
speech. Because of that, there are people that killed the people in that company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We never know who did that. But of course,
they said that Muslim people did that. It is only rumors. Maybe they already
arranged the scene to accuse the Muslim. They (European) are totally unfair in
this kind of case. They can say anything towards Islam, but they take action to
those who say something bad to the Jews. They will take action to those who
recall back about what had Hitler had done before. They will take action if
people calling the Negro with that name and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> However, we that admit we are Muslim;
did we really describe our Prophet Muhammad in a correct way? Most of us only
used his name to brand their business to make great sales. Most of us portray
him as he likes to punish people. Most of us when talk about Islam; only Hudud
comes out from their mouth. When the non-Muslim hear about Islam, the things
that they think is cut hand, whipping, canning, kill and decapitate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Islam is not coming only to punish
people. The laws exist but it is falling second (2<sup>nd</sup>). The more
important things are the good moral character, taking care of the neighborhood,
peace environment, good governance, justice and so on. Nowadays, we are only
aiming to punish people without giving, showing and telling the good example
and the good things about Islam. We are making people misunderstood about this
religion with the misquoting about the religion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the above verse, Allah teaches us the
prayer (doa) to our parents. In that verse also Allah teaches the parents to be
good parents. Only the parents that have mercy to their children, that really
takes a good care of their children, giving the essential things to them; living,
love, sympathy and others. Only these kinds of parents are included in that
prayer. If they did not do the good things to their children, they will not
include in that prayer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Few days ago, there are stories that
the government wants to put a law that parents cannot cane their children until
injured. Then people start to say out their views and thought, saying that in
Islam we can cane or whipping. There are people saying that, because of their
parents always cane them when they were small, now they become somebody in the
society. They are giving thought to the non-Muslim that in Islam the way to
teach their children must be caning or whipping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> This is not true. There are people not
being cane or whipping during the childhood age still become a good person.
Islam did not teach the people to teach their children that way. But still
Islam has the allocation to give the punishment after all the procedures have
been done. For example, I come out with the verse above.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah said that men (husband) need to
take a good care to their wife/wives. He must show good example, giving love,
giving place to stay, food to eat, cloths to wear, teaches about the religion,
fair, protect from danger and many more. If the men only know to hit to beat to
slap to kick their wife, he is not qualified to become a husband. If he only
depends on his wife to support him while he is healthy to do work, he is not
qualified to become a husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> After doing all the good things and
gives the best to the wife, then the wife still did not want to listen, Allah
gives the steps to follow. Not to beat or strike them directly. First, need to
advise them. Always and everyday remind her about the order from Allah, His
prophet and the religion. After many times giving advice and still not working,
Allah ask us to separate the bed. After long time, still not working, then we
can strike or beat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> However, the “strike” does not mean we
can hit them until they hurt and injured. Imam Syafie said only use the tooth
brush (kayu sugi) or pen. It is not to hurt them, but it is like symbol that we
are serious about that. It is the same goes to the teaching the children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not easy to just hit your children if they did not perform prayers. At 7 years
old until 10 years old, with 5 times prayers daily, it is going to be more than
thousands of times to practice and to train them. We ourselves as parents need
to show that we also perform prayers not only at home but at mosque. We need to
be the best example to them so that they will follow us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to give love to the people. We need to show the kindness in Islam not the
aggressiveness. This religion is to guide people to Allah and to the heaven and
not to punish all the time. We need to change people mind set and the

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Alhamdulillah it is great to be back
in here to write another entry. It looks like I only wrote one entry per month
now. So, I am sorry for this and I always try my best to write an entry so that
people can read and learn new things. Few weeks back, I bought one book with
title of “Travelog Minda Tajdid”, written by Dr MAZA. If you are following my
blog from the beginning, maybe you know that I am fans of Dr MAZA.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Something from this book that I want
to share with you all, it is about the position of women in Islam. I look to my
blog statistic; it looks like there are some people viewing from other than
Malaysia. So I think this issue is a big issue in the European country and the
thought now coming to Asia recently. People nowadays easy misunderstood about
Islam and also misinterpreting Islam. Most non-Muslims only know about Islam by
looking at the Muslims’ practice. They are not understands it with the actual
meaning. Therefore, when the Muslim did something wrong, the non-Muslims think
that is Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In this entry I am going to renew the
thinking about hijab, that most people think that the hijab is oppressing the
Muslim women. It is not a shocking things when the Muslim women, themselves are
trying to “fight” for their right to not wearing hijab. They give Europe as an
example, country nowadays that is not oppressing women. Actually, only they
think western women are not oppress by the laws or the cultures there. There
are stories or true stories that they (people that against hijab and proud with
western women) did not see and take into consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> During the middle age, the culture of
people when they are going for a war, they will bring their wives. Most
civilization did the same thing. They bring along their wives so that they have
greater spirit to fight with the enemies and they will realize that they have a
very big burden on their shoulder. If they are not success in the war, they are
going to lose everything, including their wives, wealth and their country. In
Europe, what they did to their wives to make their wives loyal to them is that
they make their wives to wear iron jockstrap.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is something that very extreme. It
is unimagined, it must be very painful. This is going to make the women hard to
move, hard to void and many more. If the environment is very cold, it is going
to make the women more suffer. Maybe you say that their women already free from
that thing. Maybe you can say they already come out from the darkness ever. But
actually their women coming out from that darkness and now entering into the
next darkness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I mean that, until now their women are
not free from any kind of torture. In the middle age with the iron jockstrap
and now in the modern days with the pornography. You can see that they are
exploiting their women in every kind of business including magazines, films,
dramas, music and many other things. They are showing the women beautiful
bodies, for people to see and even to touch. They are doing such that the women
pride is very cheap and very low. They are like insulting their own women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is very different in Islam, very
much different. In the above verse, Allah says that the most noble among the
human is the one that the most righteous. If woman more righteous than a man,
she deserve it. Hijab is not the torture tool; it is for the good of the women.
Hijab covering the women bodies from being seen by non-right person. It is to
avoid negative feeling (lust) towards women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Hijab is not phycology torture method
to the women. If they know the purpose of wearing it, they will wear it
willingly. Hijab is not the obstacle that stops the women from become
successful women in their fields of jobs and their lives. There are many women
that wearing hijab, but they can success in their lives. Hijab has its own
values; courtesy, morality and also beauty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There is country that claiming that
they are ruling the country with Islamic laws and they are practicing Islam
fully. However they are only practicing the Islam with the way that they understand
that. They are not showing to the world the beauty of Islam and the actual
practice of Islam. They only making the world confused about Islam,
misunderstand about Islam and also misinterpreting Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The conclusion is that, to know about
the others religion is not by looking at their practice. But in order to know
their religion, we need to study their scriptures. This is not only for Islam,
but it is also for other religions. With this kind of practice, we can avoid
misunderstanding about the religion and the most important thing is that we are
not giving bad description about them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Peace be upon to all the readers in
this blog. It is getting harder when the age of this blog is getting older. I
mean that, it is getting difficult for me to maintain writing in this blog.
This is because I am a bit busy with my studies here, a lot of reports to do,
assignments and other exercises. That is why there is only a few entries in a
month. Therefore, I am trying my best to always update my blog with new entry
and with fresh ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For Muslims, our Eid Adha just passed
a few days ago. We are celebrating this eid because of famous story about our
Prophet Abraham and his son Prophet Ismail. But I do not want to touch about
their story, because most people that telling this story, they will tell with
correct way. There is another story that I want to “brainwash” the readers
here. It is about two sons of Adam, that people always gave name to them, Habil
and also Qabil.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> People always take the story of Habil
and Qabil from Israilliyyat stories. Even in the Quran did not mention the name
of two sons of Adam. So come where their names? So in this entry, I want to
wash the bad things about them and give to you all the correct ideas about
their stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If you should raise your hand against me to kill me - I shall
not raise my hand against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the
worlds.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-MAIDAH Ch.5:V.28]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The most popular story about them is
that each of them had their own twin pair. When it comes to give married to
them, they need to marry in cross style. Qabil needs to marry Habil’s twin and
Habil needs to marry Qabil’s twin. However, Qabil did not agree with his
father, Prophet Adam because Qabil is a handsome person and his twin also
beautiful. It is opposite with Habil that is not too handsome and his twin not
as beautiful as Qabil’s twin. Then they need to perform a sacrifice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah already mention to our Prophet
Muhammad as shown in the first verse I put. Allah tells Prophet Muhammad to say
the truth about the story of two sons of Adam. But when it comes to us, we took
the story from the Jews (in their scripture). So I want us to come back and
take the story from the most authentic resource that is Quran. Let us look
about their story as mentioned in the Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Obviously, in Quran did not say that
they want to marry or what, Quran only say that they do a sacrifice. One of
them is accepted the sacrifice and the other one are not accepted. So it makes
the one not accepted the sacrifice feels not satisfied. Therefore, he wanted to
kill the other one. In the Quran also did not mention their names. So let us
give simple cop to them. Let say A is the one that his sacrifice is accepted
and B is the one that his sacrifice is not accepted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Indeed I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so
you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of
wrongdoers."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-MAIDAH Ch.5:V.29]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he
killed him and became among the losers.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The story is more on the sacrifice and as
mentioned in the verse, Allah only accepted the sacrifice from those who are
righteous and fear of Him. The other part of the story is about killing person.
The verses after that are all about B wanted to kill A. All the verses actually
teach us how to react and how to response when there is people want to kill us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the verse 29, it stated that if we
kill someone, we will need to bear our own sin and the person’s sin. And of
course we will belong to a group of losers. To make B regret about killing his
brother, Allah sent a crow to teach him to hide his brother’s body. Of course
we will feel shame as human need to learn from a crow. With a brain that can
think and differentiate bad and good, still need to learn from a crow that has
much little brain than human being.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Then Allah sent a crow searching in the ground to show him how
to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, "O woe to me! Have I failed
to be like this crow and hide the body of my brother?" And he became of
the regretful.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> A few months ago, my friends and I did
a presentation about Islam and terrorism. We did touch about this story and
with important evidence from Quran that is the verse below. It is clear stated
in Quran that prohibit human to kill each other. When we kill one person, it is
such as killing the whole nation. It means that we are creating a situation
that not peace. People will feel afraid to come out from their houses and also
afraid to have social lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There is a research saying that, the first time
the person want to kill, he/she needs to fight with his/her own self. Only the
first time is difficult to do it. After he/she have done it, the second time to
kill other person is become easier as he/she already across the “trash holes”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is opposite if we save person lives. It such as
us already saved the whole nation and creating a peace environment. People will
feel comfortable and safe. This is the phycology teach from Quran and also an
evidence to prove to the people that saying Islam is promoting violence and
terrorism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that
whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land -
it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if
he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them
with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the
land, were transgressors.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah and
ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. And
Allah knows of your movement and your resting place.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[MUHAMMAD Ch.47:V.19]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Alhamdulillah, it is good to be back
in here to write another entry. It looks like lesser entry per month. I am so
sorry about this. I already back in university to continue for a few more years
here. It is a little bit busy here when the classes already start; there are a
few “homework”, assignments and so on. Today’s topic I took from my note in
Facebook translated into English. It is about the knowledge we have going to
strengthen our faith and believe in Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Actually knowledge is very important
in everything that we want to do. It helps us to make the work easier or helps
us understand the work or it can be many other ways. For me, knowledge is
something that is new to us, something that fills in our brain or mind. But others
may give different definition on knowledge, and it is up to you. The definition
is something that is subjective.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I like the verse above, I like it very
much. There is one person that taught me on that verse. He said that, Allah
says the verse to show to us that knowledge is very important and also very
powerful thing. To know that Allah is only one, we need to have knowledge. This
verse shows that in Islamic faith to believe Allah is one is not only to follow
the others but to know by having knowledge. Without knowledge, yes you can
still believe Allah is only one, but you cannot prove and explain to other
person. Without knowledge you cannot make the non-Muslims to become a Muslim. I
am very anti with person that always say; “we just have to follow”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given
wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those
of understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-BAQARAH Ch.2:V.269]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I prefer to follow this path, where
the knowledge is the backbone of many things or more accurate is for
everything. Because of my style like this, so I love to watch videos of Dr
Zakir Naik. I think that in my blog, many entries I always mention his name and
also the great teacher of him, Syeikh Ahmad Deedat. When I watched his videos
debating with the non-Muslims; atheists, Christians and others, his argument,
his stands can make us clear about this religion, Islam. When he gave examples,
the examples suit to current modern age and the analogies can make us very
understand on his speech.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> So Dr Zakir Naik maybe the best model
for the da’ie to follow for the time being. His critical thinking, his knowledge
about science, his knowledge about the other religion helps him a lot in his
speech and in his work to revert the non-Muslims. If in Malaysia, I prefer Dr
MAZA and also Dr Danial as the scholars that critical in giving their opinions
and they also have minds that thinking further than the others. Therefore,
their speech is very good and the knowledge they gave can make our mind think
wider and also make us become critical thinking like them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the Quran, Allah have repeated the
word ‘ulul al-bab’ which means the person that us their brain to think. Allah
praise people like this and Allah also said that people with knowledge is
better and is more love by Allah than the people that did not think and also do
not have knowledge. People that do research on Quran are better than those who
are only reading the Quran but they did not understand it. There are many
people who have embrace Islam after doing some research on Quran. Only a little
part of the Quran can change their lives because of the knowledge they have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We
have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There a few examples in the Quran that
shows the important of having knowledge. The Quran records there are people who
embrace the true religion that is submitted themselves to Allah after Allah
shows to them the true power and with their knowledge in their specific field. For
the first example is the story of the witches in the age of pharaohs and
Prophet Moses with his cousin, Prophet Aaron. The story is recorded in the
chapter named Taha, chapter number 20. If you are good enough maybe you can
read from the start of the verse. However, the part that I want to highlight in
this entry is just around verses 60-80.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When Prophet Moses and Prophet Aaron
came to see Pharaoh, to teach him the true religion and also to tell him not to
do tyranny in his country, the Pharaoh did not want to listen to them. In addition,
he challenged Prophet Moses to show his ability to fight with his witches. Pharaoh
gathered all the people in his country to witness the competition between
Prophet Moses and his witches. The witches start first by throwing their ropes
and the ropes turn to look like snakes. The snakes are just the illusion that
cheats the eyes of everyone that see that. When time comes for Prophet Moses
turn, Allah asks him to throw his stick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> With the power and with Allah
permission, the stick turns into a snake. However, this time the stick really
changes into a snake, a very big snake that ate all the ropes (snakes) of the
witches. It is true snake and not an illusion. With the knowledge that the
witches have, they know that the snake from the stick of Prophet Moses is
really the power of Allah and not from the devils. Then they turn to be with
Prophet Moses and Prophet Aaron as in the verse above tells us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Although Pharaoh wanted to kill them
all for the punishment to loss and also not to obey him by saying he is the
god, all the witches remain with their faith in the teaching of Prophet Moses
and Prophet Aaron. Their faith stand firm and nothing can make them repels or
rebels against Allah. This story shows the important in having knowledge. Because
of their mastering in some sort of fields make them to believe in Allah and His
promises.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen
[in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven
green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to
me my vision, if you should interpret visions."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is also the same happen to Prophet
Joseph. When the king in his country dreamed about the cows such as in the
verse above, there is nobody can explain and can predict the future from his
dream. At that time, the king has a few people that very well in predicting the
future, astrologers. When comes to this dream, there is no one can tell the
story behind the dream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When Prophet Joseph in the prison, he
predicts the food that the guard will give to him and his partner in the jail. His
prediction is very accurate. He also explain other prisoners dream for a few
times. When his friend (the person in the prison) get out from the prison and
heard the news about the king’s dream, he try to meet the king and trying to
recommend Prophet Joseph to explain the dream. In the Quran, the story is in
chronology. You can check it in the chapter of Joseph or Yusuf, chapter number
12.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> At last, the king called Prophet
Joseph to explain about his dream. Because the king believes Prophet Joseph’s
prediction on his country’s future, he took Prophet Joseph as a ministry in his
country. It goes the same for other Prophets such as Prophet Solomon, Prophet
Jesus and the others. The signs (mukjizat) that Allah gave to them (His
messengers) is compatible and suitable for that time. It goes the same with
Prophet Muhammad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> His case special that the other
prophets because Allah left behind the signs in the form of scripture, that is
Quran. Quran is compatible to all ages until the end of the day. It can be proven
through the language, through the histories in it, through the scientific facts
in it and many others. Only those who do research and understand Quran can feel
it is signs from Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Assalamualaikum, may Allah bless all
the readers. Month of august is a very challenging month for me. This is
because my laptop had few problems that delay my job (write an entry in this
blog) and also made my life a bit difficult. We are relying much on the
technologies and this is not good as if it is not in good condition, we feel
like “no life”. Today’s entry I translate from my note in Facebook. When I wrote
the note, I just think that it is important for the Malays. After that I think
it can be useful for the others that cannot read Malay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Maybe some people will think this
entry is very controversial entry, maybe some people will think this is just to
attract the non-Muslim people towards Islam and maybe there are people that are
not agree with me. You are allowed to agree and also to disagree, that is your
choice. This entry is just want to explain the truth and to eliminate the
thought that say people that not Muslim will go to hell. I want to renew our
knowledge and also our thinking style, at the same time doing dakwah to attract
the non-Muslim towards Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I read a post in one page in Facebook
saying that, “if people that kafir, no matter how good they are, they will
enter hell.” I disagree with this statement and that lead me to write note and
also this entry. People are using word “kafir” as they like or wish to. They
are using the word without knowing the actual meaning. The word “kafir”
actually is not refers to non-Muslim, I will explain the definition later. They
are few people (figures or scholars) that are holding the same thought that I am
going to tell today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Dr Tareq Suwaidan has explained about
this, a few months ago in one talk. He is the first person (that I know) that
explained about this. At that time, I was amazed by his explanations, very good
and excellent. Dr MAZA also always talks about this in his talks. People in
Malaysia confirm knows him. You can check in YouTube for his videos. In his
book, “Aku Ingin Kembara Lagi” also has one chapter talk about this topic. Therefore,
I have a few references to strengthen my argument.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The person is called “munafik” because he/she said
they already have the faith on Allah, but in their hearts, they did not want to
obey Allah. In Quran chapter (al-Baqarah), verse 8 until 20 tell the
characteristics of these people (munafik).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The person that believed in Allah, but he/she make
two of Him. Make two of Him meaning that shirk. For example, the people that
worshiped idols, asking help (prayer) from other people but not Allah, believed
in superstitious things and others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cover up something or action to close something. The person can only be called “kafir”
if they refused to accept the truth and also rejecting the truth. The person
become a “kafir” if the argument is stated very clear until there is no more
doubt about it, and at last the person did not want to accept it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This category refers to the people that received
scripture from certain prophets. In Quran, the people of scripture is refers to
the Jews and also Christians. They are the follower of Prophet Moses (Jews) and
(Christians) the follower of Prophet Jesus. However, in Quran tells us that
only in the beginning they follow the teachings of these prophets. After the
prophet left or die, they started to adjust the religion and made their own
religion. Not only that, they also change their scriptures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This category is about outside the other
categories. The people of scripture also can be included in this category, I will
explain it later. The people that have no religion can include in this category
and people that have other religion such as Buddha, Hindu and others also the
same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When we know the differences of these categories,
we can understand who are going to survive from entering hell. From the Quran,
there are clear evidences that say the “musyrik” will enter the hell. Based on
Quran, we know that the “munafik” will be punished because of their behavior
and “kafir” is clear that they will enter hell. For the people of scripture,
maybe they are safe or they can also be punished after this life. For the
non-Muslims, as long as they did not receive clear facts, strong evidences,
strong argument, dakwah does not get to them, they have the opportunity to
enter heaven.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For the people of scripture, they have
special case. They can either be saved or cannot be saved. For those that
really do research on their own scriptures and then they found that their
scriptures are not right. They realized that their religion is not the true
one, and they try to find the correct religion. These kinds of people have the
chance to survive or to make it safe from hell. However, if they do the
research and found the truth about their religion (that is not true), but they
do not want to accept the truth. They also cover up the truth from being known
by their people, they will enter hell. They are classes into “kafir”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> But, the people of scripture (the
earlier generation) that did the change on their scriptures and also change
their religions, of course they will enter hell for their punishment. We cannot
deny that there are people (Jews and Christians) that embrace the religion
because of their parents from that religion. These people sometime they do not
really know or understand about their religion. They just follow what had been
told to them. These kinds of people, only Allah knows the best for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">

Scripture except in wishful thinking, but they are only assuming.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For the non-Muslims, if there are no
people come to them to spread the news, to tell the truth, to tell about the
true religion, to give evidences, to explain the facts, how can they are going
to know that they are not correct. Of course they cannot know if there are no
one tells them. It easy for us to say they can use their brain to think which
one is true and which one is not. It easy for us to say they can think by their
own or do analysis about their own religion. Let us think together, how many of
us today embrace Islam because they really understand about Islam? I think many
of us just became Muslim because of their parents. Maybe at certain age like
me, then I try to find the truth, try to have strong argument about my
religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is true that Allah created this
universe that have tress, animals, water, sky, earth, mountains and others so
that human can relate back to Him. From His creation human can know Him. In Quran,
many time Allah asked us to use our eyes to see, our ears to hear and our
hearts to understand the signs of His power. However, human need guidance to
guide them in understands something.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Maybe we can say to the non-Muslims to
look in the internet to search about the religion and to do research by using
the modern technologies. It is easier to say than to do. There is much
information in the internet. Some people do not have internet, then how they
want to find the truth? In the internet there are many kinds of information. Most
of the time people said that Islam is the religion of terrorist. Sometimes,
they showed that Islam has many sects. That made them difficult to understand
which one is the true one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

messenger of God is also human being, but they are the special one or the
chosen one. The difference between them and us, they received revelation from
God. They use the revelation to guide us and to make the evidences or facts
very clear and until there is no more questions and doubt about the religion
they brought. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

non-Muslims can be saved from entering hell. He used the above verse as proves
to support his views. He said that many scholars before, also have the same
view. They also prove and rely on the above verse to support their answers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

from my entry today. This is very long entry and I hope that you are not bored
with my writing. Islam is not the religion to punish other people, but Islam
teaches us to tell the truth, to spread the truth, to spread the love. Only Allah
has the rights to punish people, not us, not other human being. I hope that
from this entry, we can do our job better, harder (dakwah) so that the news is

our worship. We do not want to be a selfish person, only survive alone and let

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is great to be here again to write
another entry. It is only because of Allah wills. I hope that all Allah will
bless all these works (all the entries) and hope that other people can have the
benefits from the entries. Almost a month I did not write an entry because of
few problems. Busy with ramadhan, then to celebrate eid day. Last week my
laptop had problem, so my routine delayed a bit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Today’s topic is about two angels that
are very well known I think. Many people know their names and also a little
knowledge about their story. The main objective here is I want to change the Muslims
thought about these two angels. I want to eliminate all the bad stories or the
false stories about them. I want to replace it with new knowledge. It is not
new, but it just likes refreshing back the old one. I want to encourage all the
Muslim to come back to Quran and Hadith with the authentic knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during
the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon, who disbelieved, but the devils
disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed <b>to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and
Marut. </b>But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, <b>"We are a trial, so do not disbelieve
[by practicing magic]." </b>And [yet] they learn from them that by which
they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone
through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them
and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that
whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched
is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-BAQARAH Ch.2:V.102]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The above verse is just general story
about the angels, Harut and Marut. In the Quran, only one verse telling story
about them. There is no more verse that explains or completes the story. Allah tells
the story generally and there is no hadith from Prophet Muhammad that explains
about this verse. Actually this will not make us difficult, but it makes us
easy. Only based on this verse we can solve the problems. Before I tell the
true story, I will tell a bit on israelliyyat story first, so that we can make
comparison and also change our knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When we say about these two angels, we
always hear the story about the two become man. Angels questioned Allah for
creating human being as they are going to make bloodshed on the earth. Therefore,
Allah answers them that human has something special that no creature He created
has, that are mind and lust. In order to make the angels understand the human,
Allah gives them a try to have “lust” as angels have no lust. The angels
decided Harut and Marut to do the task.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> So when Harut and also Marut got their
“lust”, they were sent to the earth to test their capabilities. In short, they
felt in love with one woman. The woman already have husband. They try to make
the woman divorced with her husband and they succeeded. If we look into this
story, the story is longer than the verse in the Quran. The story also has no
lessons to learn, maybe have but I think it is very limited. We just focus on
the angels trying to be a man, then love a woman and make the woman divorced. Actually
there are things much important to learn rather than those stories. Israelliyyat
stories always diverge from the messages that Allah sent to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The true story about Harut and Marut
is already explained by Quran in the verse given. So I am going to focus more
on the misunderstood about them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">First of all, Harut and Marut are angels or normal
human being? There are different answers from the scholars. There are scholars
say they (Harut and Marut) are normal human being. But then, why in the verse
says “angels”. They answered, the word “angels” did not mean both of them
angels, but they both very good persons and people around respect them very
much. So they level was recorded just like an angel. There are scholars say,
they are angels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If they are angels, why they teach human magic and
make woman and her husband divorce? There are few answers for this. One thought
says that they teach magic to human so that they (human) understand the
difference between magic and signs (mukjizat) from prophets or messengers of
Allah. If the human cannot differentiate the differences between both of it
(magic and signs), so it is going to make the task for the messengers of Allah
difficult.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The thought that I think close to the verse is
that, Allah sent both of them (Harut and Marut) as a test for the human being. Maybe
at that time, the orders from Allah not to learn magic as magic come from the
devils and magic can give bad effect to the others. Quran used word “fitnah” in
the verse. If Malay people they think that fitnah is likes people accused you
on the things that you never did. Actually fitnah is more than that, fitnah is
a test or alleged. Both angels already said to the human that they are trial
before they teach the human magic. You can check the verse above, I already
highlighted it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">They not only warned the human that they are trial
to them (human), but they also gave advice not to become disbeliever (kafir). I
can give another example that showing the angels come as trial to human. One of
them is the story about Prophet Lot. His people are homosexual (gay). Verses below
already explain in a very clear manner I think.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And when Our messengers, [the angels], came to Lot, he was
anguished for them and felt for them great discomfort and said, "This is a
trying day."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And his people came hastening to him, and before [this] they
had been doing evil deeds. He said, "O my people, these are my daughters;
they are purer for you (with marriage). So fear Allah and do not disgrace me
concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason?"<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[HUUD Ch.11:V.77-78]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is impossible for the angels to
disobey Allah’s order. There are many verses in Quran that explain angels never
disobey Allah’s order. So all the verses are going to oppose the verse telling
the story about Harut and Marut, if we say that the two angels make the
situations chaotic. It is the time for us to change our mind and thoughts about
the story of Harut and Marut. I hope that from this entry, you can get
something or new knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate
before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was
arrogant and became of the disbelievers.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

are still in Ramadhan. But let’s us take a few minutes in our daily life to
pray for our brothers and sisters in Gaza, for their safety. It is great to be
back here and write another entry. Maybe we cannot involve in the battle, but
we can do other things such as boycott, pray for them, gives donation to them
and so on. So this is one of my battle fields to spread the knowledge,
insyaAllah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Today I am going to continue the
journey with the continuation about time. Last entry I already discuss about “time”,
and I just realised that there are something that I not mentioned in the
earlier part. So I will continue a bit more in order to explain that “time” is
one of unique creatures that Allah created. There is nothing before Allah and
there will be nothing after Allah, as Allah is not dependent on “time”. He is
not in the system of “time”. There will be some more proves today about this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the Quran, there are a lot of
stories about the people of the Book and also about people that lives before. It
is not just stories, not just a story telling, but incidents or events that we
need to take lessons to learn. Allah described the stories not in detail but
just the important point for us to remember and learn. There are few examples
of verses below.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people,
indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So
repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for [all of] you in
the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He
is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Indeed,
Allah commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in
ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the
ignorant."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord
with commands and he fulfilled them. [ Allah ] said, "Indeed, I will make
you a leader for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my
descendants?" [ Allah ] said, "My covenant does not include the
wrongdoers."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We can say that, the majority stories
in the Quran tell about the Bani Israel. That is one of the reasons the name of
Prophet Moses came out so many times in the Quran. There are also stories about
other prophet in other chapter such as Prophet Yusuf, Prophet Jesus, and so
many more. It will take some time to list all those names and it will make this
entry longer. In the example above there are also about Prophet Abraham.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We say that Allah is omniscient (Maha
Mengetahui), so He knows what happened in the past, present and also in the
future. When we read the verses telling stories about the past events, maybe we
not feel it is weird or miracle or impressed with it. This is because the nature
of Allah to know it. So maybe most of us will take it easy and not care it too
much. Most of us just read it, without an understanding about it. So we just
feel it just like story telling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Today’s topic is “time capsule”. I already
brought you to the past with a few verses and now I am going to bring you to
the future with a few verses also. With the nature of Allah I mentioned above,
still some of us thing that there is no need to feel weird or what if Allah can
tells story in the future. Maybe some can say that, there are people also can
predict what happen in the future. But there are no one can predict it as
accurate as Allah. Let’s take a look on the verses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous
deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow.
Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say,
"This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them
in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide
therein eternally.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their
heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so
return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now]
certain."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AS-SAJJADAH Ch.32:V.12]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the beginning of this entry, I put
the verse about isra’ mikraj. The event that Prophet Muhammad goes to the
heaven to receive prayers duty from Allah. In that event, Allah shows to him a
few things such as heaven and hell. Our prophet saw people being punish for
their fault that they did during their lives on the earth. Now the question is,
how can there are people in the hell and also in the heaven as the world is not
destroy yet? The doomsday still not coming, it means that if people die they
should still in the grave and waiting to be back alive in the day after to be
judge by Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> This is incredible for me. There are
few verses in the Quran telling about the people in the hell, they ask Allah to
give them chance so that they can repent and not enter the hell. There are also
about people in the heaven saying they get the food same like they got during
their lives. Things are not happen yet, but the stories are there (for us). Actually,
alongside of Allah all things are already happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For Allah, it just a movie. He can
play it at the “time” He wants. He can bring it forward and also backward the
movie. If He wants to show to His prophet, He can just select the “time” and
views to him. In the Quran, it is just like a movie trailer. The movie already
complete, just wait for the “time” to publish it. In the mean “time”, Allah
shows a few examples so that we can take it as lessons to learn and to avoid
the bad things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> So the conclusion is, we need to read
the Quran with understandings. Hope we can improve it in this remainder of
month of Ramadhan. There are a lot of people can tell you about this more
interesting than I did, still a lot more to learn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and Alhamdulillah. I begin this entry with the name of Allah and by praising
Him. It is too long I did not write an entry in this blog. Therefore, it is
good to be back here writing and dakwah. Thanks to Allah as He prolong my life
and your lives, to do good things, dakwah, worship Him and also repent from our
mistakes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> First
of all, before going into the topic, I want to seek for apologize as I did not
update my blog for more than two months. I had been busy with other stuff in my
university, in club and others. After that I have to go through the final exam
for this semester, so I need to focus more on studies than to write an entry
here. I did write something in the notes in facebook, so maybe you can check it
in my account. However, I am so sorry again because I wrote it in Malay, maybe
some of you cannot understand it. I hope that I can back to continuously write
entries here in this beautiful month of Ramadhan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Today’s
topic is going to be a lot different from the others. This is because in the
entries before, I always discussed about God, a bit on angels and also Quran.
This time, I am going to write about “time”, something that I think so unique
and also mystery. I am sure there are many people like me that asking the same
questions about “time”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> For
example, I have been thinking it is better to die near to the end of the day (doomsday
@ day of the last judgement). This is because, for those who died earlier need
to be punish longer time compare to those who died before. This is because
after the first call, the universe going to destroyed and all things will die
and the second call from Allah will wake all people from their graves. So this
shows that Allah is not fair enough. The punishment in the grave going to be
different in period of time compare to other person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> If
people ask this question to you, how are you going to answer them? Actually it
is simple. In surah al-Ikhlas, the second verse already told us that Allah does
not depend on other things. He can stand by His own. So Allah does not depend
on time. He is time independent. He is the one who controlling the time. It
means that “time” also one of His creature, a very unique creature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Let’s
take a look on a few verses that Allah cursed (sumpah) by using time. I am
sorry if the meaning changing when I said “curse”, because I did not know what
exact word to be used.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> The
verses that Allah used “time” also include the chapter that I put in the
beginning of this entry. When we die, we will be buried in the grave (for most
of the people), and of course we are going to be alone in the grave. Imagine
that we are inside a box and everybody has their own box. The box is in
different space and dimension from our real time here. Then Allah control the
time for every boxes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> To
be fair to all people (human kind), the setting of the “time” need to be
different so that all human will feel the same period of time in the box. When
I said “time”, it is not necessary to be days like in earth (day and night).
This is because we are in different dimension, maybe there is no light or no
moon or no sun in the grave (box). There are a few examples in the Quran that
sometime people get confused and misunderstood with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
the Quran Allah said that He created the universe (earth and heaven) in six
days (ayyam). In Arabic “ayyam” not only meaning many days (day and night) but
it is also means that for a long time. It is the same if we translate in
English. The word “days” used in Bible also have the same meaning that is long
time. Days here are not the replacement of day and night, so it is the same for
those who are in the box (grave).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> In
the first year, I learned calculus. The lecturer always has stories to tell to
the students. The most interesting story is that, he said that there are
mathematicians found or have theories saying that there are more than
4-Dimensions. Like us now, we are using 4-D (front and back, up and down, right
and left and also time). But there are mathematicians said there are 12
dimensions for example. So I think that
these theories may be useful in order to prove something, such as dimension of
the box or grave that I mentioned earlier in this entry. There are a lot more
to be explored.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> For
this month of Ramadhan, I hope that we can have a good time with “him”. I hope
that we can fully use this opportunity to seek for Allah’s forgiveness and
accumulate pahala as much as we can. I hope that this entry is useful and give
something new knowledge to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

akan biarkan terjemahan ayat-ayat al-Quran dalam terjemahan Bahasa Inggeris dan
bagi mereka yang kurang faham terjemahan itu boleh cari terjemahan dalam Bahasa

dahulu kala itu saja yang saya tulis dalam Bahasa Melayu, kemudian semuanya

that make me wanted to write this entry in Malay. There are no important
reasons actually. I want to write in Malay this time because I hope that
friends around me will attract to read this entry and also I afraid that my

have misunderstood about that. So I want to avoid the misunderstood and want to
attract other person. However, in the important part I will try to translate it

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Today’s topic is about a religion for
the sinned people. Agama untuk pendosa. Zaman sekarang ini nampak kita dah
mengkhaskan (exclusive) agama hanya untuk agamawan. Sehinggakan seakan-akan
kita memaksumkan mereka. Dalam erti kata lain seperti mereka tidak melakukan
kesalahan ataupun dosa. Sehinggakan apabila ada kesalahan yang mereka lakukan
kita tidak boleh menegur. Agama bukan untuk mereka yang hanya pandai dalam
bidang agama sahaja, tetapi agama adalah untuk semua.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is not right to make the agamawan
as the special person. We (muslims) should learn from the Christians mistakes. When
they were in the dark ages in Europe, their priest claimed to be so noble until
no one can judge them or correct them. It makes such only they are true the
other does not know anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Dalam berdakwah dan juga tarbiyyah,
kita perlu ada sifat kasih sayang dan bukannya sifat menghukum. Ramai orang
melarikan diri daripada agama kerana mereka merasakan agama ini hanya tahu
menghukum orang lain, terutamanya mereka yang melakukan dosa. Sebenarnya agama
ini adalah cinta. Cinta yang sejati dan paling sejati. Banyak ayat-ayat Quran
yang Allah turunkan menunjukkan betapa cintanya Allah terhadap hamba-Nya
walaupun mereka itu semua telah melakukan kejahatan, kemaksiatan, kemungkaran
dan lain-lain lagi. You can look at the verses that I quoted. These only
several and I am very sure there are more in the Holy Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Biarlah kita membenci kesalahan dan
kemaksiatan yang orang lain lakukan dan bukannya membenci si pelaku kesalahan
dan kemaksiatan itu. Bertindak adillah dalam kehidupan ini kerana adil itu
lebih dekat dengan taqwa. We, ourselves also has done and also doing bad
things, but why we never hate ourselves? Then, why you want to hate other
person when they did wrong things? This is not fair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It should be because of the religion
people want to do good things and leave the bad things. It should be because of
the religion people are close to God and have a good relationship with other
people. It is not because of the religion people are doing the bad things. There
are no religion in the world come and claim to promote the bad things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Bagi mereka yang membawa imej agama,
hendaklah membawa berita baik dan harapan yang sangat baik untuk mereka-mereka
yang telah jauh tersesat. Saya yakin ada antara mereka yang sememangnya ingin
kembali ke pangkal jalan, namun mungkin kerana mereka tidak menemui jalan-jalan
itu maka mereka semakin hanyut dalam kemungkaran. Janganlah kita ini selalu
salahkan mereka, “mereka malas menuntut ilmu”, “mereka malas pergi masjid dan
mendengar kuliah” dan sebagainya. Bagi saya tidak ada guna menyalahkan mereka
jikalau kita sendiri tidak pernah turun padang terlibat untuk mengajak mereka
melakukan kebaikan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Do
not only blaming others for not seeking the truth or seeking the knowledge. We did
not know the actual problem that they are facing to. We should play our roles. We should
go and see them and bring them back to the good life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Masih ada harapan dan sentiasa akan ada
harapan bagi mereka yang melakukan dosa. Allah Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang dan
paling penting Maha Pengampun. Seperti satu hadis yang sangat popular iaitu
berkenaan dengan seorang lelaki yang telah melakukan dosa membunuh 99 orang. Kemudiannya
dia pergi bertemu seseorang dan bertanya sama ada dia boleh ampunkan atau
tidak, dan orang itu berkata tidak mungkin dia boleh diampunkan. Lalu orang
yang memberi jawapan menjadi mangsa si pembunuh yang ke-100. Dia tidak jemu
untuk mencari jalan untuk bertaubat kerana dia pergi berjumpa dengan seorang
yang alim tentang agama, lalu orang itu suruh dia berpindah daripada kawasan
itu. Dalam perjalanan dia meninggal dunia lalu dua malaikat datang. Untuk disingkatkan
cerita dia dimasukkan ke dalam syurga kerana jaraknya lebih dekat dengan
kawasan yang dia ingin berhijrah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The moral value of this story is not
you can kill 100 persons then you can repent easily. One of the moral values is
that the initiative to repent and back to normal life. The person really wanted
to repent, just because of his surroundings making his life bad and worse. That
is why the alim person asked him to move to other place. This story also teaches
us to give hopes to the person and give the answer with knowledge not with
emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the beauty to the non-Muslims and also to the people that did not really
understand about Islam. Islam agama harapan bukannya agama hukuman. Menghukum itu
kerja Allah, maka kerja kita sebagai khalifah di muka bumi ini adalah mengajak
manusia melakukan kebaikan dan meninggalkan kemungkaran. Syurga atau neraka,

You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. If only
the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> As usual, we start our discussion
today by praising to Allah first. It is quite hard to maintain writing one
entry per week. Sometimes busy with club activities, busy with studies and
sometimes I do not have the mood to write. That is my problem, so thank to
Allah for giving me these knowledge and the spirit to write and share with
other people. I thought that I already finish talking about God, but the ideas
keep coming. Therefore this week, I will again talk about Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Most of us like to read something that
related to love, especially the teenagers and the early age in adult stage. So I
hope people like to read this entry because it has some part that related to
love. Today’s topic I want to make comparison between Allah and love. Comparison
is not finding the differences between two things, but comparison is finding
the similarities between two things. Contrast is the exact word for finding the
differences between two things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I am not saying that love and Allah is
exactly the same. I am trying to say that there are some similarities between
Allah and love. Let us take a look on a few facts on love first and then we
compare it with Allah. First of all, anybody here that can see “love”? Or maybe
someone can show to me what “love” looks like is? I do not think that there are
people can show to me how the “love” looks like. I am very sure, because I also
never see it before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> If people in love, they always ask
their partner to give proves that shows that he/she really loves him/her. Somehow,
their partner will never prove by showing “love”. But they will show their love
by showing an act that symbolizes the love. They will do many things such as
they will do everything for their partner, always take a good care about their
partner, will try to fulfil their partner wishes and many other things. Of course
there are people who are doing all those things but they are doing it just to
cheat their partner, but most of the time that are the acts that people who are
in love will do.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Sometimes, there are symptoms for
those who are in love. For example always dreamy thinking of their partner,
always mention their partner’s name and many other symptoms. Most of the time,
we can determine they are in love from their faces. Maybe they look happier
than before. I think that is the most common symptoms. Although there are
couples that are living happily but we are now considering the good things
only. Love cannot see but we can feel its existence. I am sure all people in
world agree with me about this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such
[trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They
were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their]
messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?"
Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is the same for Allah. We cannot
see Him but there are signs of His existence. I already wrote an entry earlier
in this blog with the title There is A Creator. This entry maybe looks like
repeating the entry before, but it actually explaining in different ways about
the existence of Allah. Allah wants to test our faith by forbidding us from
seeing Him in our lives here, but He will show Himself at the hereafter. To answer
the test or to pass the test we need the notes or clues. Therefore, the Holy
Scripture, Quran is the notes and inside it has the answers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The only one in the pillar of faith in
Islam that we can see, we can touch, we can read and so on. That is Quran. Allah
is not cruel to punish people without giving any clues to His test. The content
of Quran is so good and so detail in explaining the existence of God. Most of
the ayah we can understand logically. There are also ayahs that can be proven
by science. Nowadays people always seek for the answer that can think logically
and compatible with science. However, if we give the answer from Quran, they
reject it. It means that they are rejecting the logic that they are seeking
for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the
alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The above verse gives clear evidence. For
people that want to think, that are seeking the truth and also want to accept
the truth they will get what they want. All those things like the creation of
this universe, the earth, the sun, the moon, the animals, the trees, the wind,
the water, the seas including ourselves are the symptoms or the signs or the proves
the existence of Allah. We can feel it the signs, we can see the signs, we can
touch the signs even we are the signs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah already says in the Quran, Allah
gives human the ability to see, the ability to hear and the ability to speak,
but they still not using it to the right ways. Very unique verse, because Allah
did not say He gives the eyes as there are people having eyes but they are
blind, Allah did not He gives ears as there are people having ears but they are
deaf. But Allah says He gives the ability to do all those things, they still
cannot see the truth and still do not want to accept the truth. This is the
challenges in doing dakwah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I start this entry with word of honour,
by the name of Allah. I always start my entries by praising Allah again and
again. This is because Allah tells us to be grateful to Him for everything He
gives to us. I also hope that people that read all those entries will spend
some time to praise to Allah. Every one of us here has a busy day every day and
by reading my blog, we will spend a few second to remember Allah and praise
Him. I also hope that I can be consistent in writing entries in my blog; one

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> This week, we are going to go far away
from the topics before that are about Allah. This time, I am going to write
about the similarities in the teaching of Prophet Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Maybe
there are going to have the similarities between Judaism, Christianity and also
Islam. Today’s topic will bring some new challenges to me and also to the
readers. This is because the entry is about comparison. First of all before I enter
into the topic, the ideas come from a person that I really respect and love,
Syeikh Ahmad Deedat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Syeikh Ahmad Deedat talked about
Judaism, Christianity and Islam almost 30 years ago. I am not going to talk
about that yet. We are going slowly and step by step. I just want to talk just
a bit from his ideas and want to tell to the whole world the truth about
Prophet Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. All these three prophets come and bring the
same fundamental. Carefully read. The prophets came with the same fundamental
teaching, not the Judaism and Christianity. This is because Prophet Moses and
Jesus came not to bring the religion named Judaism or Christianity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Let us take a look on the first
commandment that was given to the holy Prophet Moses. The verse is the above.
This is what I mean before. That is about God @ Allah. The fundamental of the
religion is about aqidah @ faith regarding Allah. Not only Prophet Moses (pbuh)
said that, Prophet Jesus also said the same thing. The below verse is the story
to the Prophet Jesus’ (pbuh) answer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And one of the scribes
came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had
answered them well, asked him. Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus
answered him. The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord
our God is one Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Prophet Jesus repeated the same answer
that was given by Prophet Moses words by words. He did not change any single
words in the sentence. This shows that Prophet Jesus also brought the same
fundamental about the religion as Prophet Moses. Both of them gave the answer
saying that the Lord our God is one Lord. But now, the Christians are not
relying or holding to the same what was taught to them. How can two different
person live at a very different era can give the same answer? Prophet Moses
lives more 1300 years before Prophet Jesus. The only answer is that, both of
them got the answer from the same source. That is from Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> 600 years after Prophet Jesus, there
is a person named Muhammad bin Abdullah, he had a discussion with Christian
people from Najran in his mosque. They sat there about 3 days. They slept, eat
and had discussion in the mosque of Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) also gave
them the same answer about Allah as Prophet Moses and Jesus. The answer was
given by Allah to him as revelation as mentioned above. Three of them now gave
the answer that Allah is only one not two not three or not more than that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> If you have chance to meet any of them
(Moses or Jesus), ask them what religion that you brings? I am very sure that
Prophet Moses will not give the answer Judaism and Prophet Jesus will not give
the answer Christianity. This is because both of them never heard the terms
(Judaism and Christianity). The answer that will come out from their mouth is
that, they are bringing the religion that submitting his will to Allah. The
religion in sentence is, submitting his will to Allah. But in one word, the
sentence means Muslim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Muslim is the person who submits his
will to Allah. Muslim comes from the word Islam. Islam is the religion, Muslim
is the name for person that embracing Islam. Not only Prophet Moses, Jesus and
Muhammad are Muslims, but all prophet came before is also a Muslim. They all
brought the same fundamental of the teaching; that is Allah is only one. They
all brought the same religion that is Islam and they are the person who
submitting themselves wills to Allah. From Prophet Adam until the last
messenger Prophet Muhammad, their religion is Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

believe that we come from the same father; that is Prophet Adam (pbuh). We also
believe that Prophet Abraham is the father of all prophets. This is because he
has two sons; Ismail and Isaac. The sons of Ismail are the Arabian and the sons
of Isaac produced the race we called them Bani Israel. Prophet Abraham came
before Moses. That means Abraham came before the people has taurah (Old

Him also for always giving me the knowledge, the understanding and thoughts to

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I will try my best to deliver my ideas
in this entry. We always hear people talking and saying that Allah can do
everything. He can do that; He can do these and many other things. Then, there
will be people that going to ask, if Allah can do everything, why He cannot be
a man? Why He cannot have a son? Why He cannot have a sexual feelings or
activities? There are many more questions, but these just examples. When people
ask all these questions, we are going to stuck or pause for a minute to think
back what we have said earlier. There will be a problem and there are going to
be a misunderstood again about Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Let me bring you into the real
statement. We are not limiting Allah’s capability or limiting Allah’s power, but
Allah the one who gives His characteristics to us. He is the one who gives
requirement to be a God. He is the one who we looks like limiting Himself. But actually
He is not limiting Himself; He is making us clear the differences between God
and creatures. The borders He puts just to clarify and to make us clear that He
is the Real God. All the creatures cannot be like Him even a drop of water or a
dot of black spot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah says in ayah Kursi, He not even
feels sleepy and He will never sleep. This is not the issue that Allah cannot
sleep after He can do “everything”. But this ayah shows the different between
the creatures and Himself. All the animals and human feel sleepy and they must
sleep. There is a border between the creatures and God. God gives us the clear
evidence for the man that looking for the truth. People always looking for
logical answer, but at the end they refuse to accept the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other]
messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth.
They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look
how they are deluded.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It goes the same with eating. Allah
does not eat. He did not feel hungry and not even what to eat. He did not have
to eat to survive. That is the main idea here. But people always look at the
un-important things. Always want to question or argue the unnecessary things. To
prove that someone or something is a God, he or she or they must not eat. Eating
is human, animals, plants and other creature behaviour. Then people will say
that angels also did not eat and they have no feeling of hungry also. This
shows the different between us and angels. There are also differences between
God (Allah) and angels. The clearest evidence is that Allah created them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Maybe angels also did not sleep. So from
the behaviour looks like no difference between them and Allah. We need to look
on the other side. Angels have shape or form or figure but Allah does not have
it. The above ayah was sent down to earth to show and prove to the people that
fanatic about Jesus. Allah already shows the important characteristics and
important clues, which are Jesus and his mother Mary eat. This ayah has a message
to say that Jesus is a normal human being, not God. I know that people
(Christian) going to be sensitive about this issue, but this is the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The same goes with the case Allah not
have son. There must be a reason behind that. Of course, the reason goes the
same that is Allah want to differ and to make sure the human being know Him
well. With many differences, borders or maybe you want to say “limit” that
Allah shows to us, I can say and dare to say that still people did not know
their God very well. There are still plenty more mistakes or misunderstood
about Allah. They did not see with their eyes and not hear with their ears. Their
heart and mind closed to accept the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There are going to have similarities
between Allah and human. Such as Allah sees and human also see, and Allah hears
and human also hear. But the different now are not about see and hear, it is
about how Allah and human see and hear. That is the different. Human see and
hear with their organs. However Allah is not like creatures that have organs.
Allah sees and hears with His own Zat (sorry I don’t know the real word for English).
Only Allah knows how He sees and hears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to
him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him
for the span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him
running.' "<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There is hadith that says Allah comes
to His slave running. If we just want to take the text, we will misunderstand
about Allah. I want to say that other religion always taking the text from
their scripture without knowing and understand the real context. That leads
them to error or to the religion that never brought to them. In this case, the “running”
just a symbolic to show and to make His slave feels happy and excited to do
good things. Imagine that when we do good things, our beloved person running to
us to hug us. Of course we are going to feel very happy and always want to do
the good things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Conclusion for this entry I want to quote
Ahmad Deedat words. He said that people always ask the truth but did not want
to see the truth. For example, people ask to see sun. Then we show to the
people the sun. The person looks at the sun but with the closed eyes. Do you
think the person see the sun? Answer it by your own. Allah already shows to us
the truth; Prophet Muhammad also brought to us the truth and so many people out
there always telling the truth. Now depend on us to accept it or not.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Today’s topic more on misunderstood in
the Quran and also the misinterpretation of the Quran. These two lead to
another misunderstood and misconception that is about Allah. It looks like I
cannot get out from the topic of Allah yet because I see many things are still
not clear. Maybe not all of us realised all these things, but there are people
who are thinking something that out of our mind. Therefore the topic for today

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> First of all, we are going to look on
the views from William Campbell and after that, I will give the answer from Dr
Zakir Naik on the misconception from William Campbell. It starts from ayah
Quran saying that the moon or in Arabic <i>qamar</i>
reflecting the light from the sun or in Arabic <i>syams.</i> The Quran already tells us about these more than 1400 years
ago. But the modern science just found it, the moon does not producing its own
light. Dr William Campbell said that, if we do research on the Quran we will
find something that is not correct.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the Quran says that the moon borrow
the light from the sun. This is based on the wordings used in Quran. Burning
lamp (siraj) refers to sun and luminous or shining or reflected (munir or nur).
We have to know all these wordings first before going deep into the discussion.
I also present to you fellow readers a few ayahs from Quran that saying about
moon and sun, about reflecting and also burning lamp. You can open the Quran
and check the Arabic and also the translation of the ayahs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> However, Dr William Campbell does not
or maybe did not agree with those ayahs. This is because the words nur or munir
do not mean reflection or something like that. He has his own views on the
ayahs. He said that nur or munir can only be translated to shining, because at
the time of Prophet Muhammad they understand the moon looks shining. He is
interpreting the ayahs based on the time. He also gave a few more ayahs that do
not describe the words. Here are some ayahs for you to check on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the above ayahs, we can find the
words nur or munir that represent enlightening in English word. Dr William
Campbell said that, both words do not describing reflection of light. He also
said that it is more likely to mean the light itself. It means that the
scripture producing its own light. However, for the sake of argument he wanted
to agree that nur and munir mean reflecting and siraj means burning (producing
own light). If that case, we will find a contradiction in another ayahs such as
An-Nur Ch.24:V.35 with Al-Ahzab Ch.33:V.45-46.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the ayah of An-Nur Ch.24:V.35,
Quran says that Allah is the nur. So is that means Allah reflecting light? If
Allah reflecting light, who is the source of light? Al-Ahzab Ch.33:V.45-46 give
us the shocking answer, Prophet Muhammad is the source of light and Allah
reflecting his light. This is the biggest misconception by Dr William Campbell.
After does not agree that the Quran already mention moon reflecting light from
the sun, now he said that Allah reflecting light from Prophet Muhammad.
Remember these things and the answer going to be in the next paragraphs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example
of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass,
the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed
olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow
even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He
wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all
things.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The answer is simple. Actually Allah
is the nur and also siraj. It means that Allah producing His own light and also
reflecting His light. Nur and munir that were representing the enlightening
scripture is true that the scripture is reflecting the light. The scripture is
reflecting the light from Allah. Allah is the knowledge and the knowledge is in
the scripture. Therefore, it is clear that all those ayahs that mentioning the
enlightening scripture mean that they are reflecting light from Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Then, how about Prophet Muhammad
producing his owns light? Actual, in my point of view Prophet Muhammad does not
producing his owns light. He becomes illuminating lamp because Allah makes him
to be like a light on this world. If Prophet Muhammad has his owns light, it
means he can give hidayah to his people to embrace Islam. But it does not
happen. So Allah gives a bit of light to him and the light that he brings is
the Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah producing His owns light and
also reflecting His light. This is logical. For example the lamp we used today.
It has reflector at the side to reflect the light produced by the lamp.
Although we cannot actually know how Allah reflecting His light, but the
example makes us clearer and we can imagine. In the ayah (An-Nur Ch.24:V.35)
Allah already make it clear. Allah tells us His light like a niche within which
is a lamp and the lamp is in the glass. We know glass can reflect light and
refract light. But in this case the glass is reflecting the light. This ayah is
very wonderful and beautiful, masyaAllah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For the conclusion, we have to study
the Quran. Not only reading the Quran, we must also understand it. Look like Dr
William Campbell, he is non-Muslim but he do research on the Quran, he study
the Quran. But he studies to find the mistakes in the Quran. So we need to
study the Quran so that we can help other people that do not understand Quran
or misunderstand about the Quran to understand it better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

give me opportunity to write again in this blog. Praise to Him also for giving
us longevity to stay on His earth. Thanks to all of you, the readers for giving

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Every week I try to bring new
challenge to me to write a better entry. As for today, it looks like a peak for
my blog. I am going to deliver message from a very sensitive issues in Malaysia
for the time being. Therefore, before going into the real topic, I hope that
everyone can open their mind to accept this message. I am not forcing you to accept
my point of view, but to take it and rethink about it. This is the time for us
to agree to disagree. So our topic today is about word of Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I will try my best to touch on other
people point of views. There are people who say that the word of Allah can be
used by non-Muslim people and there are also people who prohibit the
non-Muslim, especially the Christians to use the word of Allah in their Holy
Bible. It is not only on can be used or not, but I will also try to touch on
the preparation for the Muslims if the word of Allah can be used by others. I
think this is going to be a very long entry and hope you will not bored of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I will state my point of view about
this issue. I tend to say that the word of Allah can be used by non-Muslims in
their daily life talk. But if to use the word of Allah in the Holy Bible, maybe
I will say don’t. I will come out the proof later. However, I am not person
that have power in the government that can allow and disallow the non-Muslims
from using that word. So I can only try to make the Muslim understand the true
God through my blog and my entries before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The simplest evidence I can bring to
all of you. The evidence is the verse above, the verse that Muslims read in
their prayer, 17 times per day. Most Muslims can understand the meaning of this
verse. Allah is the Lord of the whole world. The meaning of the world here is
the whole universe. All things were created by Him. It is does not matter you
are what religion, or what race, in what country, He is my God and your God. He
is my creator and your creator.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> If Allah is only for Muslim or Islam,
the verse will say like this; “Lord of the Muslims.” But it is not. Therefore
it shows that word of Allah can be used by the others also. For example, the
non-Muslims say that Allah makes the rain fall. Yes, they are absolutely
correct. Do not we go and corrected them, by saying; “No, you can say Allah.
You must say your own God’s name or your idol.” In this case, it looks like the
non-Muslims are correct and the Muslims in the wrong way (astray/sesat).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When the non-Muslims tend to use it,
we as Muslims should take this as an opportunity to guide them. We must spread
the love and spread the news. We must tell them about Allah, the real God. We
should try to make them understand more about Allah correctly and then guide them to embrace Islam. They are asking to step forward and that step making
them closer to us. So we need to take this chance to make them one of us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

them do not reason.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There are many examples of verses that
similar to the above verse. But I only take one as example to the readers. In
this verse, Allah tells our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to go and ask the
non-Muslims people about the rain. Prophet Muhammad is told to ask who make the
rain down. The people answer that Allah makes the rain fall. Although they are
not Islam, but they admit that Allah is the creator. But they are musyrik, the
person that double Allah or taking other things as God beside Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> One of the scholar says that, as long
as they (non-Muslims) referring Allah to a divine thing. We can accept it. But
it they are referring Allah to their idols, we cannot accept it. That is the
reason that some people giving the permission to the Christians to use Allah in
their Holy Bible because it used to refer to divine thing. But if other
religions that worship idols asking the permission to use the word of Allah, I
am sure all people will agree not to give the permission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There is also evidence in one hadith
about treaty between the Muslims and the non-Muslims, in the time of the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh). Both sides agree to use in the name of Allah. You can look by
yourself. If I explain here, it will make this entry longer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The Jews and the Christians already
used the word of Allah before. Like in the above verse, that they misused it.
For us (Muslims) we believe that starting from the Prophet Adam (pbuh) until
the last prophet that are Muhammad (pbuh), they brought the same religion that
is Islam. But most of the time, the follower change the religion. That happened
to the Jews and Christians. Therefore, before the Quran was sent to Prophet
Muhammad, they (Jews and Christians) already used the word of Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> They (Jews and Christians) misused the
word and saying something that make Allah very angry to them. So what they did
is very bad things. But some people say that is not the reason to make the word
of Allah exclusive for Muslims only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now I am going to give reason from the
people that say the word of Allah only can be used for Muslims only. The above
verse tells us do not say trinity. Saying Allah is three or have son, it is
totally wrong. However, we cannot shut all the people. But maybe we can prevent
them (Jews and Christians) from using the word of Allah in their scriptures. In
the other country, this problem did not raise. Only in Malaysia we face this
problem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There are also people say that when
the other religions use the word of Allah, it can make Muslims confuse. Yes, I
admit this statement has the truth. Let us look back to our own background. For
example me myself, I did not learn much about religious things when I was a
young boy. Maybe people that did not learn will confuse. Although there is in
syllabus at school to learn about religious (Islam), but people just take it to
pass in exam. They did not learn to understand and to practise it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There are also people think that the
one who are asking to use the word of Allah because they want to introduce pluralism
in Malaysia. They want to make people think that all religion is the same and
then people from different religion can marry as they believe in the same God
that is Allah. Yes, maybe it is true. The other thing is, Muslims feel that
they will be insulted when the non-Muslims use the word of Allah. When the
non-Muslims say that Allah is 3 in 1 or has son, this is like insulting the
Muslims. Yes, I agree with that also. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their

for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to
them for what they earn.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I bring to you three reasons and I will
answer that. It looks like I am in both sides. Agree and also disagree. I go to
the easiest point first, that is about insulting. In Arab, the Christians used
the word of Allah in their Holy Bible. They can use it. But there is no such
thing happen there. About the pluralism, in Malaysia, for a Muslim to get marry
they have to undergo many processes. Some important steps must be included so
that the Muslims do not marry the non-Muslims before they (non-Muslims) revert.
Although in Quran there is verse Allah says that we (Muslims) can marry the
women from Jews and Christians. But there are explanations behind that verse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Next is about making the Muslims
confusing. They claimed that by using the word of Allah, the non-Muslims,
especially the Christian’s missionaries can make the Muslims confuse and
convert them. That is true at some point. But the government in Malaysia
claimed that Malaysia is an Islamic country. They (the government) already
rules for more than 50 years. They should already made the people (Muslims)
very good in Islam and have a good knowledge about faith (aqidah). Now we (all
of us) should blame them (the government) for not doing their duties
efficiently or maybe did not doing their job at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In Malaysia, the other religion
(except Islam) cannot spread their religion. I mean they cannot do dakyah. But maybe
there are some people disobey the rules and still spreading their religion. This
is the rule in Malaysia that the government made it. So the government should
responsible on this thing. If the Ministry of Education plays their role, make
sure that the syllabus for Islamic subject is good enough to handle such as
this problem. Not only for student at primary school and secondary school, have
they also had to make sure the university student also learn Islamic subject no
matter what courses you are taking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ideas or ways to get out from this problem. But the above is for the government
to check their own selves. I do not think there will be a person from them to
read this entry. Now we are person that do not have power. We can only say can
or cannot, but we cannot force them not to use or to force them to use the word

brothers, sons, daughters and so on. Then we have to spread the knowledge to
community so that people can understand it and know about it. Maybe you can
share this entry and the other entries in FB or other places.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For organisation or NGOs (Islamic),
they must always do a program called street dakwah. Go down to the street, meet
people that are non-Muslims and spread the news and the messages. So that the
non-Muslims close to Islam, so that they can understand Islam better and we can
reduce the misunderstood between them and us. Program such as Interfaith
Dialogue also must be done frequently. Only in such program we can gather the
Muslims and the non-Muslims. This is what Quran tells us to do, like the above
verse and al-Baqarah verse 111. So in this program we can easily spread our
religion (Islam) to the other. We also can show to them the truth in our
religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I should make the conclusion now
because I think if I continue to elaborate about this topic it is going to be
longer. There are many people outside that can talk about this topic in very
detail. I hope that I already touch on the important points and hope that my
messages were delivered clearly without any misunderstood from the readers. My conclusion
is very simple, that is the below verse. Thank you for giving time to read this
long entry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Assalamualaikum, peace be upon you. It
is good to meet you again in this blog with a new entry. Before I proceed to my
entry, let we take a few second to praise Allah for His Kindness, for His
Merciful, for His Gracious and many more. I hope that the readers do not feel bored
because almost every entry I started with praising Allah. For me, I think that
all the time we need to praise Him. But unfortunately, we are human that easily
forgotten or default to praise Him. That is why I take just a few second to
make the readers and I to praise to Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Today our topic is about the real God.
This entry is like a conclusion to my previous entries. I will try to summarise
the entries before in this entry. I think only two entries that I did not write
about Allah. The entries are about Quran and Angels. Therefore we have to take
an exemption for the two entries. This is because this entry is summarise and
conclusion about God or about Allah. In the pillars of faith, the first thing
is about Allah. It is so important and I hope that I already cover the
important parts and also hope that the readers already understand the messages
that I delivered before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-IKHLAS Ch.112:V.1]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Firstly, there must be a God. I mean
that God must exist. If a person approaches you and saying that there is no
God, directly we have to not accept the ideology. I already prove to you the
existence of God in my entry before. Different people will have different style
of proving. Some people like to prove the existence of God by using science, or
by using logic, or by using any theories, or by using the language in Quran, or
by using history in the Quran, and many other ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Then if there is a person comes and
says about God, surah or chapter al-Ikhlas is the check list. Use the surah
al-Ikhlas as a check list, to check whether the thing is God or not. The first
verse says that God is only one. There are religions that believing in many
Gods. Therefore, the first thing they already failed. So we do not have to
accept their thought or religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Next, a person comes and claiming that
he or she is God. It is true. There are persons who think that they are God.
And unfortunately, there are people who believe them. Maybe the first point
they are correct, because in person they are one. If happen that case, we have
to go to the next point in the check list. That is the second verse of the
surah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Allah, the Eternal Refuge.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-IKHLAS Ch.112:V.2]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The second verse means that Allah is
independent. He does not have to depend on other things. He does not have to
eat, to sleep, to marry, to even rest, to play and so on. But we as a creature,
we have to depend on the people or other things. We need oxygen to breathing,
we need meat to eat, and we need water to drink. We need to marry to make sure
that human will not extinct, we need to play or exercise to make our body
healthy, we need to sleep to get a rest and many more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> If a human being says that he or she
is God, they did not pass the second point in the check list. There are religions
believing in God-man or Man-God. If we use this surah as an indicator, easily
we can reject the religion. With the surah also we can easily know that the
religion of God-Man or Man-God is true or not. But people from other religion
that believing in these things, they feel like we (Muslims) insulted them.
Actually we are not insulted other religion, for us that are proves. We need to
understand and need to differentiate between insulting and proving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Then there are religions that saying
their God is eternal refuge. They are claiming that their God passes the second
check list. I have no problem with that. Although I think that almost all
religions stuck at the second check list. I still have two more points to go in
the check list. So let us check it together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He neither begets nor is born.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-IKHLAS Ch.112:V.3]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Maybe Christianity and Judaism claim
that Allah has son. I say maybe because I am not too sure about Judaism. But I
am sure about Christianity. However there is something confusing in Christianity.
This is because some says that Jesus is son of God. But there are some says
that Jesus is God. In Christian itself, they argue about my statement above. It
looks like a contradiction to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> If we take both, Jesus is God and also
son of God. Let’s look at this analogy. My father’s name is Afendi and my name
is Fahzimran. By looking at the name we can identify that my father and I are
different person. I am his son and how I am going to be a father to myself? I
do not think there are person can answer this. But it is true if there is
someone calling my father’s name at me, we called it surname. It is surname,
just name and not physically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I think that most religion can only go
up to the third points. There is one more point. Although there is no more
religion can go through number three but I still want to go to the last point.
Maybe there are religions same at this point, but there are not true at the
other points. So we only accept a religion that can fulfils all these four
points in the check list.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nor is there to Him any equivalent.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-IKHLAS Ch.112:V.4]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I think I already explain this verse
in previous entry. There is nothing that equal to God @ Allah. Nothing can be
compare to Him. He does not have physical hands like us, or legs, or eyes. What
creatures have, it is not the same with Him. We cannot imagine how He looks
like. Therefore we do not accept religions that practice on idol worship. In my
previous entry, I did touch on other things also about this verse and I think I
do not want to repeat that again. You can read it in Creator Been Created.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I think that I want to write a simple
and short entry, but it looks like other entries also. Not too long and not too
short I think. So hope that this entry is clear with it messages. Hope people
reading this entry can understand it very well. If this entry or my blog is
very meaningful and can be share with others, I allow you to share it. I hope
that I already cover about faith (akidah). If not all, I think it is overall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Next entries I think I still want to
talk about Allah. But it is about the contradiction or the misunderstood about
Allah. It is the same concept such as using the words “We” and “He”. I also
want to open to some ideas or improvements in my blog. I hope that the readers can
give some ideas to me. I want to make things clear about Allah first. Then I
will continue in other chapters or other things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the name of
Allah, The Entirely Merciful, The Especially Merciful. I started my entry with
Basmallah. This is new entry with new topic and new challenge. As usual, before
we begin with the new topic, let us praise to Allah for still gives us chance
to enjoy His blessings and grace. Thanks to Him for letting us still alive and
still healthy. At the same time, many people are dying and suffering from many
diseases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We are still
with a topic regarding about God @ Allah. I am trying to answer something that
people are questioning about. So today we are to discuss about God’s gender.
For Muslims, we believe that Allah has no gender. He is neither a man nor a
woman. But now the question is, if Allah has no gender, why Allah uses “He” as
pronouns? I already quoted verses from Quran and all the verses using “He” to
refer to Allah. We also use “He” to refer to Allah in our daily life speaking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity,
Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. He is the Entirely Merciful, the
Especially Merciful.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">[AL-HASHR Ch.59:V.22]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In Arabic and
English, we have specific terms for man and woman. For example in Arabic <i>huwa</i> means he and <i>hiya </i>means she. It is also the same for <i>–hu</i> means his and <i>–ha </i>for
her. But in English, only for man and woman when can do the classifying not for
non-living things. For example tables, chairs, fans and others. For these
non-living things, we use “it”. In Arabic, we have special case. This is
because we also can do the classifying for animals and non-living things. We
classified them under <i>muzakkar</i> and <i>mu’annath</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The above I
mentioned is about linguists distinguish between natural gender and grammatical
gender. Natural gender is determined by physiology; an animal with a male sex
organ is naturally masculine and an animal with a female sex organ is naturally
feminine. Grammatical gender is determined by language convention. French is
the language that almost similar to Arabic in this case. Because of the
influence of English in our daily life, we think that the word “He” used to
describe God’s gender. But actually it is totally wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity,
the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer,
the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above
whatever they associate with Him.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In English, if
one uses the masculine or feminine pronoun to refer to something that does not
have natural gender, one is representing the thing as person, usually for
powerful rhetorical effect. This rhetorical device is called personification.
Language like Arabic, such masculine or feminine pronominal references carry no
connotations of humanness. The femininity of <i>shams</i> (sun) or masculinity of <i>qamar</i>
(moon) is grammatical gender based purely on language convention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Thing that I
understood is that, the masculinity does not shows it greater than femininity.
Based on the example above, it shows that femininity of sun is greater than the
masculinity of moon. Neither is femininity a defect for the word, <i>shams</i>,
nor masculinity a pride for <i>qamar</i>. In English, using "He" for something without natural gender
connotes personification, but not in Arabic.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Why choose <i>huwa</i> over <i>hiya</i>? In Arabic language, grammatical masculinity is the norm,
while grammatical femininity is the exception. Since in Arabic, most words are
grammatically masculinity, therefore the expected grammatical gender for Allah
is masculinity. Masculinity connotes powerful majesty, femininity connotes
gentle mercy. The grammatical masculinity of the word Allah connotes majesty
that helps us realize our servant hood to our Lord.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I think this
topic is quite heavy and difficult to understand. I hope that I already make
things easier and more understandable. I already read about this topic in one
book. Again that book was written by Dr. Danial Zainal Abidin, Islam The
Misunderstood Religion. He is my favorite writer. I have a collection of his books. But the
book I mention before, I read it cursory because I give the book to my friend
as a present. But the idea that I write in this topic, I found in one website.
His explanation very good and some of it comes from there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The conclusion
is that Allah has no gender. The word “He” does not means natural gender as we
as think about. I hope that from this entry, I already solve the misunderstood
about God’s gender. I hope that this entry can helps you if anyone asking you
about this topic. If there any mistakes, hope that you can correct me. The idea
from the reader is most welcome so that I can improve my writing and my style
of presentation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

gives me another chance to write an entry. Before I opened my own blog, my
brother in law gave me an opportunity to write in his blog. The quotation that
he uses in his blog is “write not because of name”. And I used that quotation
to produce an entry. It is one of the entries that I wrote in his blog and I

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Tonight I read something that
important to me and I hope that thing also important to all of you. One of my
friend post in facebook, write anything whether an entry or novel or post not
because for people to know you. But it is for people to know Allah.
Masya-Allah, it is very great advice and I hope from my previous entries people
starting to know Allah better than before. Insya-Allah tonight I will cover on
something that very important.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> People that against Islam, always
trying to find mistakes in the Quran. One of them is the contradiction that
occurs in the Quran. For them (people against Islam) it is contradiction, but
people who learned it knows better. The contradiction that I mentioned above is
Allah using the word “We” but in other place Allah uses “I”. When we say “we”,
it means many or a group of. But Islam teaches us that we have only one God
that is Allah. Then why He uses “We”?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> This “contradiction” is love by the
Christians as they can use it to prove the concept of trinity. I used inverted
comma because it seems to be contradiction but actually it is not. The
Christians believe in the trinity and they say Allah uses “We” in Quran to
represent Himself, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. If they really know their scripture,
they will not even call themselves “Christians”. To answer this question, we
cannot use English as sometimes English does not the same as Arabic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Arabic language is very special
because it has name for singular, dual and also plural. Plural in Arabic has
two meanings that are representing numbers or showing the greatness. Therefore,
the word “We” used in the Quran is to show the greatness of Allah. Not to show
the numbers or showing that there are many Gods. The word “We” also we can say
to show grandeur (kehebatan) and greatness (kebesaran).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Besides that, Allah uses the word “We”
because it represents His entire kingdom. His kingdom includes rows of angels
and also the universe. The universe consists of stars, moons, earth and others.
All these mention above is the creation that will never disobey Him. We, human
beings, animals, plants, demons and the other creature on the earth are also in
His kingdom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For this case, it is the same with the
king on earth. I think all kings that had ruled on this earth using the word
“we” to represent his kingdom. He seldom use “I” in his speaks. This is because
sometimes to make a decision for his country he has to ask for his ministers
opinions. If the king gives an instruction without saying “we”, it means that
only he that want to make that things happen. And it also means that he put his
ministers aside. Therefore, when Allah uses the word “We” for people that
familiar with the royal family they will find it normal. Only people like us
that feel weird and think negatively about the word “We”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Allah uses “We” because He feels proud to Himself
and only He deserves to feel proud. He feels proud to His own power and greatness.
He feels proud to His kingdom that so big. But, we as human cannot act and feel
like that because we are nothing if Allah does not help us. We only His
creation and we are too much feeble. Allah can take our lives whenever He want
and easily can bring us back to life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one book. The book wrote by Dr. Danial Zanial Abidin with title Tuan Bertanya,
Dr. Danial Menjawab. There are many questions inside the book that discussing
more details in Islam. And one of the questions is about the uses of the word “We”
by Allah. So maybe you can find this book in book stores and you can get

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is good to be back again after more
than a week not writing any entry. Firstly, praise to Allah as He give me
chance to live and to continue my dakwah by writing an entry in this blog.
According to my original plan, I want to start from the beginning that is about
God. This is because in Islam the first thing to learn is to know Allah. That is
the reason I wrote the entries before more on knowing God and only one about
Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> But today’s entry is about angels. Although
I still not finish writing about God, I have to write this entry. This is
because I still at home before return back to university next week. It is going
to be difficult for me to write on this topic in the future because the
reference is at home. So while I still at home better I take this opportunity to
tell something about angels. I also take decision to write this entry because
in a few entries before, I already raised the issue on why Allah needs angels
as He already the Almighty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Before I answer the issue, I think I should
tell a bit on the angels, such as the creation of the angels, their
characteristics and their duties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(rukun Iman) and pillars of Islam (rukun Islam). Believing in angels is one of
six things in the pillars of faith. We are not Muslim if we do not believe in
the existence of the angels. In the Quran, Allah does not mention the creation
of the angels. The above text I quoted from hadith, which is the word of our
beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH. He said that the angels are made from the light
(nur). In the Quran indirectly told us that the angels were there before human
being. As mention in the Ch.2 verses 30-39, the conversation between Allah and
angels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?" And he felt from
them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The first verses tell some characteristic of the
angels. The angels refused to eat the food that was served by Prophet Abraham
not because they do not want to eat. But actually they do not eat. These verses
corrected the misunderstood thought of some people who says that the angels are
also like human need to eat. The second verses tell us that the angels have no
gender. They are neither man nor woman. In the old days, the idolatrous
(musyrik) said the angels are God’s daughter. So these verses give the evidence
that they are wrong. And the last verse is about the obedience of the angels. They
will never disobey the order from Allah. There many other characteristics, but I
only can list a few of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I think nowadays, most Muslim kids
know the angels name and their duties. Maybe you can ask one of them to tell
you about that. Because it will takes longer essay if I name the angels one by
one and telling you their jobs. Basically Muslims should know 10 angels, their
names and their jobs. But in the Quran only a few angels are mention. And the
Quran also tell us the angels have many jobs. There are angels created just to
worship to Allah, there some created for human being, some as guards in heavens
and hells and many more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Come to the most important thing. Why Allah
creates the angels to do all things, if He is the Almighty? As the question not
too long, I think I also do not have long answer for this. There are a few
reasons in my point of view. Firstly, I think that Allah wants to show His
great power by creating a creature that will never disobey Him. We can see the
differences between the angels, human and devils. The devils want to make us
astray. Ourselves as human, sometimes we obey and sometimes we disobey to
Allah. But the angels will never act without order from Allah and will never disobey
after getting the order.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the entry before, I already touched
on the nature of Allah and one of them is should have (sifat harus). In this
category it is not compulsory for Allah to create us. He created us because He
wanted to and He has His own plan for the creation He made. Allah is the Most
Rich (Maha Kaya) not because He has this universe, angels, human and other
things. Some people say that the most accurate is Allah is the Most of the
Richest (Maha Terkaya). With or without the creation He made, He already the
Most of the Richest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When someone becomes a king, he wants
to show his greatness by a few ways. Maybe he can build a very good military,
he can manage his country’s economy, and he can build buildings for his people,
give ease to his people and other things so that his people will say he is
great. But some people will say, if Allah does all the jobs by himself that
would be greater. For me, human beings want something that his brain can
accept. Something that is logical. If there are many things that illogical, there
will be many people that will not believe in religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah says in the Quran that we, human
have only a little knowledge on the unseen world. Only Allah knows everything. Our
human brains have limitations; we have to accept this fact. Because of our
brains have limitations; we have to take the revelations as our guidance. Sorry
if I did not do my best. Hope we can learn something in this entry today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is good to have another chance to
write another entry. It is Allah permission and He is the one who gives the
knowledge to the person He wanted. In the earlier pages in the Quran, Allah
mentions that the Book has no doubt for people who believe. Because of this
verse, Islam scholars very confident with Quran and always have the answer for
the misunderstanding questions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I wanted to write this entry because I
think that not very Muslim knows about this. This is my responsibility to share
the knowledge that I have. This misconception was brought out by Christian scholars,
Jimmy Swaggart when he had debate with Syeikh Ahmad Deedat. The debate was long
ago held, about 30 years ago. The answer that I will write I quoted from Syeikh
Ahmad Deedat. Thanks to him and may Allah bless him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Jimmy Swaggart said that Sayyidina Usman changed
the original Quran and the original one was burned up. Before I give the answer
from Syeikh Ahmad Deedat, I want us to refresh on the history of our prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) and the history of Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Our prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was illiterate and it
leads him to do not know to write. When the revelations come down to him by Gabriel,
he will pass the messages to his companion. There are a few of his friends know
to write and to read, so they will write the revelation on papers or hide or
other things. But in his life, he never asks his companion to compile the
revelation into a book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">When our prophet died, his closest friend
Sayyidina Abu Bakar became the Muslims leader. One day, come Sayyidina Umar
al-Khattab to Sayyidina Abu Bakar asking him to compile the revelation into a
book called Quran. But Sayyidina Abu Bakar said to Sayyidina Umar, he will not
do the things that prophet never did. Day by day gone and Sayyidina Umar did
not give up persuaded to compile the revelation. At last, Sayyidina Umar quoted
one verse from the Quran that leads Sayyidina Abu Bakar to compile the
revelation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">… And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he
has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in
penalty.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But at the era of Sayyidina Abu Bakar and Umar,
they just collecting the pieces that containing ayah from Quran. When come
Sayyidina Usman, he decided to write the revelation in the book. This is
because so that people that do not memorizing the Quran also can read it. At this
time, Islam already spread all over places in the world. Now come to the answer
to the questions above. To write the revelation into a book, Sayyidina Usman
needs Quran specialist. When I say Quran specialist meaning that the person
memorizing the whole content of the Quran and also understand the messages in
the Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Quran specialist did change the spelling
errors. The spelling errors come from the person who write the revelation when
was told to him. This is human errors. For example, when someone mention his or
her name and asked us to write the name. Probably we are going to spell wrong
the name. With the help of specialist they can remove all the errors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">They also add in something to the Quran that is
the vowels. Before this, the Arabic words do not contain the line or mark or
sign. For the Arab that understands they own language there will be no problem.
But for the non-Arab people, they will find the difficulty to read and to
understand the Quran. So the vowels were to make other people also can read the
Quran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Then why did Sayyidina Usman burn the pieces such
as paper or hide that containing the verses and the revelation? This is because
he does not want other people that have lack of knowledge about Quran to write
another book. He afraid that they will make a mistake and the Quran will have
many versions. So he wants to avoid it and just use the one he compile as the
authentic and the main source.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Firstly, I will talk about version. Quran only has
one version, but has many translations. Let we take all the Quran that have on
the earth and check each of them. All of them will contain only 114 chapters. If
the book contains more of less than 114 chapters, we as Muslim will not accept
it as Quran. Now check words by words, comparing two Quran that were produced
by two different printers. It is also the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But maybe there are different in terms of the
signs used. Because in the modern days the Quran was printed to make the reader
easier to read it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now take a look on the number of
verse. Yes, there will be a different total number of verses in some Quran. Maybe
not too many Quran that have difference in total number of verses. Why there is
different in total number of verses? For Arabic words there are no capital
letter or small letter. We can start with AND in the beginning of the verse, it
is not wrong. The position of the full stops slightly different according to
different scholars. This makes the total number of verses different.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> How about translation? Translation is
the matter of choosing words. The words that were chosen to be used to give the
same meaning as in the Arabic words. Different people will choose different
words. So the Quran has many translations including in many other languages. All
of the translators have the same purpose and wanted to lead to the same
meaning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Most Merciful. It is good to start all your works with this verse. Not forget
to praise Him, as we still have the chances to live, to have good health, and
the most important things are Faith and Islam. I started this entry with the
verse above, to remind me that all these knowledge are not originated from me
but it comes from Allah. Only He knows everything, what we reveal and what we conceal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Maybe we do not realize that we are
under attack from many different angles. For Muslims, I think that I have so
many obstacles and challenges in front of us. The other religion also is trying
to convert us, in the name that to save us from hell fire. From the other
angle, we are under attack from those that claiming they are also Islam like
us, but actually they are false. Not forgetting the people that thinking
critical, maybe too critical and rejecting the religion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The key to all these problems is
knowledge. Without knowledge we are easily influence by them. The knowledge is
there with us, it is the Quran that differentiate the truth and the false. The problem
now is we Muslims, lazy to read, to understand and to learn. We just like spoon
feeding and that is the reason we are easily influence by the free thinker and
also the ideology from other religion. We already have the Quran and Hadith,
now it is our job to prove to the other, show them the evidence that we have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Firstly, Allah says that He never has
son. He does not need someone or something to be His son. People say that God
came down to the earth as a man because He wanted to feel the human’s pain. Most
people say that God can do anything and everything that is the reason they
claim God can be a human and can has a son. As a Muslim, we need to learn nature
of God or nature of Allah (sifat-sifat Allah). There are three categories, the
compulsory, the impossible and should have. Therefore, for Allah to have son and
to be a man, it is His impossible nature, never going to happen. There many
more, but I just touch on the related things only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Why Allah did not have to become a man
to understand the people? I will give a short answer to this. This is because
He is the Almighty, He knows everything. He did not have to become a man to
understand human. He is the creator. Like an engineer creating a machine, did
he need to become the machine to understand it? Look for your own answer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah also says that there is no other
God with Him. He already stated clearly the reasons in the verse. If there are
many Gods, they will fight with each other to create their best creature, their
best universe and so on. If there are many Gods, you will find it many other
creatures that can be a rivalry to human kind. Look around you, only human that
can talk, rules the world, manage the countries, and manage the financial and
many other things. Can animal and plant do such things? Again you have to think
by yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> If there are many Gods, to whom you
are going to pray for? When you in a trouble, in the prayer you will wish to
have many things. Are you going to pray the same prayer to every God you have? Or
in the prayer, are you going to say out you Gods one by one? People will get
confused if there are things like this. This is the reason the people with
critical thinking leaves their religion as they confused with many Gods. Islam
offering the human kind with only one God and nothing is equivalent to Him.
Only to Him we worship and pray to, Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Let’s us say we have two Gods. I am
sure that there will be among us who are going to make a comparison with these
two Gods. When we have two best friends also we make comparison between them. This
shows our human nature that is to make comparison. Now, how we are going to
know which God is the best? Come let me tell you something. Our brains have
limitation. There are many things that our brain cannot give picture or cannot
give answer to. For examples, the beauty of the heaven and the virulence in the
hell. God will not do something that going to confuse us and something that
hard for human to accept.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> So Allah alone rules this universe?
Yes, only one God that is Allah. How come He can rule this universe by His own?
He is the Almighty, why not? Then some people that use their brain will ask why
Allah created many angels? My answer for now is it takes many paragraphs to
answer this question. If Allah still gives me chance to live, I will write
another entry on that only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

still have chance to meet in this blog again. This entry is going to be my
third entry in English and talking about God. Before this, I am not really touching
many on the others’ religions. Just only on a few sentences or paragraph, and
this time in going to be more than before. So I want to ask for apologies if
you feel that I am insulting your religion. Because this is going to be
sensitive issues and people also will get sensitive. But I already remind the
other Muslims and me early in my entry before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I hope that we will learn new things
here with no one getting hurt. I hope with this topic also can make the readers
rethink on their religion’s practice and can find the truth through this blog,
insyaAllah. As you can read the title of today’s topic is about only one God. Before
giving evidence from my beliefs, I will try to bring evidence in the other
scripture also. Our religion teaches us to find the similarities first and the
difference let forget for a while, like I quoted above.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Firstly, I will quote from Hindu’s
scripture that giving the evidence that the God is only one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">These
three verses not only saying that God is only one, but also say that his form
or his image cannot be imagined. This is also meant that cannot worship to the
idols. Unfortunately, this is what happening in Hinduism. Maybe some of them know
that their God is only one but only the image they made into many. When the
time passes, people tend to forget. They will think that they have many Gods and
the worship to the idol is allowed, whereas they only have one God and they are
forbidden to worship the idols.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now, we are going to take a look on

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There
are two things that we can conclude from the verses above. Firstly, the God is
one. Secondly, Jesus Christ (pbuh) does not claim he is the God. Yet Christians
believe that Jesus is God and believing in trinity. There is no verse in the
Bible saying about trinity. Maybe there is one verse that closes to it, saying
that the God, the Word and the Holy Spirit, all these are one. But the Christian
scholars themselves say that this verse was add in, was created the people
themselves and not originate from Jesus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There no verse talking about trinity
in the Bible but there are two verses in Quran says about trinity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your
religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of
Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a
soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers.
And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah
is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in
the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer
of affairs.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the
third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not
desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers
among them a painful punishment.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For example, you have another two twin
brothers or sisters. Three of you are so similar which no one can find the
difference. One day, one of you committed murder. So the judge decided to hang
all three of you, is that fair? You will say that no, we are not the same. We are
different person with different personality. Maybe some of you going to say
that it is not 1 + 1 + 1 = 1, but it are 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. I would not say anything;
just leave it to you to choose by our own, to choose either summation or multiplication.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Maybe there will be a question, how
about Buddha? What they believe in? According to Dr. Zakir Naik, he said that
Buddhism does not say that there is a God and also does not say that there is
no God. They silence about it. Why I took the answer from Dr. Zakir Naik?
Because I think that he is a great person and he did study on many other
religions and making the comparisons. Therefore, he knows well about these
things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> How about Islam? I do not think I have
to answer it as the answer already stated in the verse in the Quran that I quoted
above. Clearly I can say that the other religion is deflected from their
original teaching. Now they are following the teaching from the church and also
the temple and not following their scripture. From my opinion, if we are
claiming that the scripture is from the God, so we need to follow it. The only
evidence and the witness that we have today, to prove for the past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I hope that Islam will not diverging
from the original teaching. I hope that we as Muslims do not blindly follow the
others. As we have Quran and the authentic hadis from Nabi Muhammad (pbuh), we
should follow these two. For those who want to find more information about the
difference in religion, I recommend to you to see videos from Allahyarham
Syeikh Ahmad Deedat dan Dr. Zakir Naik. There a lot of debate they did with
other religion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For the conclusion, it is not about
whose religion is more superior. In religion it is the matter of the truth and
the truth for religion is only one. We have the responsibility to find the
truth through the authentic sources. If you seek for the truth, surely you will
find the truth, insyaAllah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah as we
have given another chance to meet in this blog. For Muslims, we must be
grateful because we got the greatest graces that are Iman and Islam. For the
non-Muslim, do not give up on the grace and the mercy of Allah as He is the
Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> This blog generally and my entries
specifically are not totally my ideas. There are many things that inspired me
to write in this blog, so I took the ideas from various places and combined
together with my ideas to produce entries. So all these things are just sharing
my ideas, not to teach others. Based on the above verse from Quran said that
only Allah can give guidance (hidayah) to people He wanted. The prophet and
other people can only deliver the messages but not to open others hearts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the above verse, Allah claimed that
He is the Creator and He claimed He is the true God. In other religion they
believe in other God with different name, different in terms of characters and
others. There are also people that does not believe in God. So insyaAllah, today
we are going to discuss about how God come to an existence. Before going
further, we must know a few definition that may and may not related to God
first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">God
- <i>being conceived as the perfect,
omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal
object of faith.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Created
– <i>bring (something) into existence.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Born
– <i>existing as a result of birth</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Birth
- <i>the emergence of a baby or other young
from the body of its mother; the start of life as a physically separate being.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> People said that everything have the
creator. It sounds nice, but it is not true statement. The true statement is,
every created thing have the creator. Allah is uncreated; therefore there is no
creator of Allah. The true definition of God is, He is uncreated. The moment
you ask, who create God, he is not God. I brought along the definition of <i>born</i> and <i>birth </i>because some believes that God was born. That is not true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I want to give an example from Dr.
Zakir Naik. If your friend name John, he said that he admitted in hospital. He
gave birth to a child. Can you tell me or can you guess, he gave birth to baby
girl or boy? Can a man give birth to a child? So now you can realize that you
make a mistake. God cannot be created. When you ask a wrong question, of course
you will not get the right answer forever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> When we say that Allah the Almighty,
the most powerful, then we must think that if something created Allah, he must
be greater than Allah. For example we have 60V bulb, to light it we must have
electric source more than 60V. If we use 10V battery the bulb will not going to
light up. Similar here for Allah, where we can find something that more powerful
than Allah to give Him “the most powerful” title? Where to find the most
extensive knowledge to give to Allah so that He has the all knowledge? You will
never find it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One (1). Allah, the Eternal
Refuge (2). He neither begets nor is born (3). Nor is there to Him any
equivalent (4).”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the Quran, Allah already mention in
one chapter about Him. We can use the verses in this chapter as the definition
to the creator or God. If there are someone claims he is God, we can identify
it using these verses. The shortest chapter in the Quran, but with powerful
meanings. Hold firmly this chapter and insyaAllah it gives many benefits to
you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Let’s take a look on the first verse,
Allah said He only one. It is going to be very long if I want to explain this. Maybe
it needs another entry to talk about that. But in other religion, they believe
in one God. However their God is three God, the father, the son and the holy
spirit. There are three, but they claimed to be one. It is illogical for most
of us, but in reality there are people can accept that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The second verse said that Allah is
eternal. If something or someone claims to be God, ask him whether he going to
die or not. Of course all things and all human beings going to die, so he will
never be a god. Only to Allah we hope, we rely on, we depend on and we pray to.
The third verse said that Allah does not give birth and not born. This verse we
already discuss above. All human beings come to earth when their parents gave
birth, except Jesus (pbuh) because he was born without father and Adam and Eve
as they are the first human beings. Although Adam and Eve are special, but they
are not god as they died.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The last and the important verse,
there are nothing equivalent to Allah. If my brother has 1 dollar and I have 5
dollar. That means I am richer than my brother. I wanted to say that it still
can be compare. 1 to 5 or 1 to thousands or 1 to millions or 1 to infinity, all
this can be compare. But Allah, we cannot compare even a single drop of water. His
is the greatest, how great He is? We cannot even think about it. Allah is not
like others, and nothing like Him. If you can imagine something, and you call
it God. You are wrong, that is not God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate,

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Allah has no beginning and has no end,
He is eternal. He is the first and also the last. All of us are difficult to
accept this statement as we always see things that have beginning and have the
end. Human is born and die, trees grow and die, even the earth has the
beginning and going to be perish one day and so on. Even angels and devils also
will be taken their soul. So for our logical, it is difficult to accept this
fact. The conclusion is, that is Allah. Only He can do the impossible things. When
our mind is impossible to think about, that is Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I hope that from this entry we can
learn something. To believe it or to refuse it, totally is your choice. No one
is forcing you to accept all these things. I just only deliver this message,
and only Allah that gives you the understanding. That’s all from me for the
time being. Thank you for giving your time to read this. Hope to meet you
again, insyaAllah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great
punishment (7).<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I decided to write this entry in
English because I wanted to attract the non-Malay readers and also wanted the
non-Muslims to read this entry. I also think that the people outside from
Malaysia also can read and understand it rather than writing it in Malay. Most of
the non-Muslim I think prefer to read article or others in English. Moreover, I
think that this the right time for me to practice writing in English and this is the
right time to spread the good news to the others. I am still new in writing in English,
I am sure that there will be many mistakes, but give me time and I will learn
from it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> My purpose to attract the non-Muslims
to read this entry or my blog not to revert or convert them. Now we are using
revert because the Prophet Muhammad said every child that was born is in
fitrah, and then their parents make them into jews, christian, hindu and
others. When we say revert means that return back to the fitrah state, which believes
in one God, there are nothing equivalent to Him and so on. My true purpose is
that to make the non-Muslim friends to understand Islam and change their
misconceptions in Islam. Reminder to my Muslim friends, this is the attitude
that we should have in ourselves. :<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Back to the title of this entry, There
Is A Creator. I think all religion belief that there is a creator, God. There is
a group of people that does not belief in God, we called them an atheist. But most
of us become what we are today because of our parents. They Muslim, we also Muslim. They christian, we also follow. We are blindly followed, without
knowing anything. I hope that from my entry, we can think and look back into
ourselves. Find the proves of the existence of the creator. I will give some
analogies and hope from that we can already prove by logically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and
the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every
living thing? Then will they not believe?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the modern age, with advanced
technologies scientist has come out with a theory of big bang. They said that
our universe initially all in one, patch up. And then a very big explosion
occurs, making them tear apart. The universe keeps expanding until now. However, Muslim who understand Quran and do revision in the Quran already knows this occurrence. Quran came 1400 years ago, how cans someone in that era can give an explanation
on something that only found in modern age? So this big bang occurs by itself
or there is superior power behind it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For those who did not believes in the
existence of the creator, they said that all this happened by itself. So let we
give our mind to this analogy. Now we have two big vehicles, bus and train. If these
two vehicles collide with each other, there will be an explosion. Imagine that
from the very big explosion, and then BMW 5 series car comes out from the
flame. New car and new creation created after the explosion. Is that logic to
our brain? If you tell this story to 6 years old kids also they will not
believe it. It is ok; we go to the next analogy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I want to cross the river, and this
river is very broad. Unfortunately, I do not know how to swim. So I need raft
or something like that to go across the river. I wait there doing nothing, and
hoping some miracle going to happen. Suddenly, many woods afloat at the surface
of the river. All these woods join together and the raft created from the
woods. Therefore I can use the raft to go across the river. But miraculously my
raft can moves by itself, and can direct to the direction that I wanted. At last,
I arrive at the other river side. Can you believe me, based on my story? 100%
sure everyone will not agree with me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the
alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through
the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the
heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and
dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the
winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for
a people who use reason.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> If you cannot believe a simple raft
created by its own self, how you can believe our complex universe can exist
without a creator? If you cannot belief a raft can sails by its own, how you
can believe our earth, moon, sun, stars and others can move can rotate can circulate by themselves? You can go back and think by yourself, is there any
existence of God. I already gave some signs from the verse of Quran and also
gave some analogies. Hope from that, your mind can open and can realize that
there must be a creator behind the created things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
