Knowledge: The Basis of Islam

"Read, in the name of your Lord who created (all things)" Al-Quran 96:1

Jumuuah Mubarakah! Today let us go back to the root of Islam, knowledge.  The Almighty ALLAH's very first revelation in Quran is read ie to seek knowledge! HE asked all of us to seek knowledge first before anything else.  HE knew that this will be biggest problem faces by Muslims.  Most of us will follow blindly what was being practiced by our forefathers without even understanding the purpose of ibadah.  For example, most of us (myself first & foremost) blindly pray 5 times a day without even understanding what is being recited during our prayers.  Net effect, we pray but still committed multitude of sins due to the fact that we do not understand the very purpose of our prayer. So today, ask ourselves how much do we really know about our own religion?

ps; sorry for one week MIA, just got my new laptop :)

Hanif Omar: Tikus Membaiki Labu

The desperate Najib government announced that ex-IGP, Genting Director, Quran quoting Hanif Omar will be heading a six-man panel to investigate police brutality during BERSIH3.0. My my my what do we have here? An ex top cop investigating the current crop of cops to determine whether police had breached its' duty & acted beyond its' power during that fateful rally.  With all the video evidence on the web, you tube etc why the hell do we need this panel.  Another wayang kulit melayu show with same old story & tok dalang.  Pls spare me the misery!

ps:  i finally have followers, khir 1 & capt amizi ahmad!  thank you & the rest feel free to join thanks!

Rahim Noor: Ex-IGP, Convicted Criminal & now Mufti

Suddenly out of the blue, Rahim Noor the ex-IGP, Anwar's beater, PERKOSA'S patron & convicted criminal came out of his hiding & gave his edict(fatwa) that our beloved Tuan Guru Nik Aziz(TGNA) is the father of non-believers("bapa kafir') for supporting & promoting BERSIH3.0.  So now he's a mufti! Few days before that his old puppet master ("tok dalang''), che det had denounced TGNA as collaborating with Anwar Ibrahim in using BERSIH3.0 to topple democratically elected government.  Yes, only in  Malaysia we can topple a government & all its' might by using yellow shirts, mineral water & salt (maybe pepper will be useful here)!  We know that you a dog & a dog will always obey its' master.  Just please make sure your are obeying the correct master for you'll answerable to HIM on the judgement day not to UMNO, che det or anybody else! Salam!

Fatwa: Irony

So going to the demo to ask for clean elaction is haram but beating defenseless rakyat who are asking for clean election is halal?  this is the problem with islamic clerics when they start pussy footing with the leaders, the corrupt ones that is.  mufti is supposed to give his edict based on what Quran, Hadith & Ijma' agreed upon not what your political masters wanted to hear.  Islam is above & beyond everything! Islam controls its' followers not the other way around.  Also where are these muftis when the corrupt leaders screwing with our money, country and future; PKFZ, NFC, SCORPENE et al!.  Just a word of reminder to the so-called muftis; your size of the brains are not determined by the size of your "serban".  People are watching your words & you better be careful with what you say for your are supposed to the learned ones not the laughing stocks. Salaam!

Henry Butcher Art Auction 2012: Paradox

Salam, sarzosky is gone & his putrajaya submarine buddy will take a dive (pun intended) with him very very soon insyaALLAH amen!  Went to HB Art Auction yesterday & highlight of the day was the late Ibrahim Hussein "Red, Core & Orange" went under the hammer for a new malaysian record of RM725,000 (not inclusive of 10% Buyer's Premium).  Folks, we are talking about people with serious money to burn here & yet at the end of other spectrum we have people who can't even afford to buy painting paper for their kids' art class.  This is a scary prospect.  Yes, there will always be the rich and the poor as ALLAH had pre-ordained everybody before the were born.  But the gap between the have and the have-nots should never this big.  Let's do something about this by giving the opportunity to the new people to take over in next GE.  Have a good week ahead & keep your chain up come what may!

ps: last week the iconic painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch  sold for USD120m in NYC!
