SAY NO-2-MAY-13 2.0!

'Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evil doers!' Excerpt from Holy Bible New International Version at Matthew 07:21-23

Salam 2 all.

I have a simple question to ask the christian extremist and evangelist, and please do give a straight forward answer:

WHY DID YOU TRANSLATE THE WORD 'GOD' TO 'ALLAH'?

In King James Bible, you have translated Matthew 27:46 from the hebrew bible 'Eli, Eli lamma sabachthani' into English as 'My God, My God, why have thy forsaken me'.

My question is, why on earth did you translate the verse into bahasa Melayu as follows: 'Ya Allahku, Ya Allahku, mengapa Kau tinggalkan aku'.*

You can asked any Malaysian and those who understand even basic bahasa Melayu, and they will tell you right in the face that the translation was wrong. The proper and correct translation of 'My God, My God' would be 'Tuhanku, Tuhanku'.

That's why the first pillar of Rukunegara, 'Believe in God' is 'Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan', and not 'Kepercayaan kepada Allah' because we do acknowledged that not everybody believe in Allah as the One and Only God.

And you may want to refer to the statement by a Malaysian, who is a staunch christian believer Datuk Seri Dr. Maximus J Ongkili as published by The Daily Express on 07.02.2014 when he said, 'if (the word) 'Allah' is critical in my prayers, then I can understand the sentiment. But if other words can carry the same meaning (in addressing God), then I will not want to hurt others whose views are different from mine.

Besides Allah, I can always address God as Bapa Syurga in Bahasa, or in my native dialect "Kinorihingan" (meaning Bapa Syurga), or Latin/Hebrew Jehovah, Yahweh and Trinity God in English. Using such terms does not in any way affect the quality of my worship'.

There you are. The statement is res ipsa loquitor - it speaks for itself. It is as clear as the sun rising up every morning, and setting down every evening!

What this mean is that that the usage of the word 'Allah' is not a question of faith as far as christianity is concerned, it's just a question of wrong translation of the word God!

So the question of infringing the christian's Constitutional right to profess and practice their religion doesn't arise at all. The question of freedom of religion also doesn't arise at all!

Wrong translation of a word is not a fundamental right, it's just a linguistic issue!

What needs to be done now is to explain the real problem to all the stakeholders and rectify the wrong translation, that's all!

That's exactly what Datuk Seri Dr. Maximus J Ongkili said in the above quoted statement. And for your benefit, I repeat what the learned christian said,

Besides Allah, I can always address God as Bapa Syurga in Bahasa, or in my native dialect "Kinorihingan" (meaning Bapa Syurga), or Latin/Hebrew Jehovah, Yahweh and Trinity God in English. Using such terms does not in any way affect the quality of my worship'. 

NOT USING ALLAH DOES NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT THE QUALITY OF HIS WORSHIP!

And that is exactly what some sector of the christian community in Indonesia did. After realizing the mistake, an influential christian body by the name Yayasan Lentera Bangsa published a Malay-Indonesian version of the bible called 'Kitab Suci - Perjanjian Baru & Lama' 2nd Edition, First Print Year 2008.

And they dropped the used of the word 'Allah' completely and in toto from the Malay-Indonesia version bible.

For example, in Matthew 27:46 as quoted above, the new translation is as follows: (at page 40 of the Kitab Perjanjian Lama Matius 27:46): 

Dan kira-kira jam kesembilan Yesus berteriak dengan suara nyaring, sambil berkata "Eli, Eli, lama sabakhtani?" Yang artinya, "Elohimku, Elohimku, mengapa Engkau meninggalkan aku".

Thus it is very clear that the usage of the word 'Allah' is not - as the Court of Appeal correctly held - it is not an integral part of the christianity faith.

This means that the Court of Appeal's decision, as upheld by the Federal Court, is not only legally correct. It is also religiously correct.

I therefore called upon all the christian extremist and evangelist to learn to respect the decision of the Federal Court and the Court of Appeal, learn to respect the Federal Constitution, learn to respect the law of the country, learn to respect the sensitivities of other religion including Islam, and learn to respect your own religion.

Otherwise, you are just being atrocious, insolent and disrespectful!

Do you remember that when Justice Lau Bee Lan allowed the Herald's application to use the word Allah, you demanded the Malay-Muslim to respect the decision.

When the Attorney General decided not to prefer any charges against the Bible Society for committing an offence under Section 9 of the Selangor Ant-Propagation Law 1988, again you demanded the Malay-Muslim to respect the decision.

BUT WHEN THE FEDERAL COURT DISALLOWED THE HERALD'S APPLICATION TO APPEAL, THUS UPHOLDING THE COURT OF APPEAL'S DECISION TO PROHIBIT THE HERALD FROM USING THE WORD ALLAH, YOU SUDDENLY BECAME HYSTERICAL AND CONDEMNED THE DECISION; AND REFUSED TO ACCEPT AND RESPECT THE DECISION OF THE APEX COURT OF THE COUNTRY!

DON'T YOU THINK THAT IS HYPOCRISY OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE!

And may I remind you before you continue with your provocative attitude, please do read the book "13th May: Before & After" written by our beloved Father of Malaysia Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, and the Mageran Report dated 06 Oktober 1969 for you to realize that what you are doing may cause serious racial and religious conflict in this peaceful country.

The record shows that prior to the bloody riot, the racial chauvinist has been instigating the chinese community to go against the Malays by playing up the issue on Malay rights and privileges as enshrined in the Federal Constitution, in particular Article 153.

The chauvinist and racial bigotries even fanned up an anti-Malay slogan Malai-si - Death to the Malays - Mampus Melayu. And as the saying goes, the rest is history; which you can read for yourself.

And what you are doing now is worse - you are challenging the very fundamental and core of  the Malay-Muslim faith. You are playing with the word Allah -  the One and Only God; the very foundation of the Muslim faith!

I personally do not want to see May 13th happened again. And I pray very hard it will never happen again! You can consider yourself lucky because the Malay-Muslim in Malaysia are very tolerant and peace loving people - after all Islam is a religion of peace.

We the peace loving Malaysians do not want to see the repeat of May 13th as we know how the people of all religious and racial background suffers because of the stupidity of some atrocious, insolent and disrespectful bunch of idiots!

So again I call upon you to stop all this provocation and instigation. Let us live together in peace and harmony, and help build this beloved nation of ours for the benefit of our future generation - your children and my children!

And I will end here by quoting The Final Testatement - The Al-Quran:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Say (O ye Muslim):
'O ye disbelievers!

I worship not that you worship,

Nor do you worship that which I worship,

Nor will I ever worship that which you worship,

Nor do you worship that which I worship,

For you is your religion, and for me my religion.

Al-Kaafiruun (The Disbelievers) 109:1-6

Wallahua'lam dan Wassalam.

Adios amigos, grasias senor.

* Note: for your information, we Muslim actually know the reason, because Allah The One & Only God has disclosed it to us in The Final Testament - Al-Quran -. And if you want to know further details, you can read more at www.akarimomar.wordpress.com where the learned author Haji Abdul Karim Omar has done a lot of scholarly research with documented proof of the christian extremist and evangelist missionary work against the Muslim since time immemorial.

KUFFAR PEMBELIT 64

Wahai Ahli Kitab! Janganlah kamu melampaui batas dalam agama mu, dan janganlah kamu mengatakan terhadap ALLAH kecuali yang benar. Sungguh, Al Masih 'Isa putra Maryam itu adalah utusan ALLAH dan (yang diciptakan dengan) kalimah Nya yang disampaikan Nya kepada Maryam, dan (dengan tiupan) roh dari Nya. Maka berimanlah kepada ALLAH dan Rasul Nya dan janganlah kamu mengatakan "(ALLAH itu) Tiga (triniti)". Berhentilah (dari berkata sedemikian). Itu lebih baik bagimu. Sesungguhnya ALLAH Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, Maha Suci dia dari (tohmahan) mempunyai anak. Milik Nya apa yang ada di langit, dan apa yang ada di bumi. Dan cukuplah ALLAH sebagai Pelindung (An-Nisaa' 4: 171)

Salam 2 all.

Benarkah dakwaan segelintir missionary dan peliwat democrazy bahawa keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan membenarkan rayuan Kerajaan dan melarang kristian daripada menggunapakai kalimah ALLAH bercanggah dengan Surah Ali-Imran: 64?

Nampak gaya segelintir yang telah diliwat otaknya sengaja tidak mahu dan tidak mengerti menghormati keputusan Mahkamah yang tidak menyebelahi mereka. Kalau keputusan Mahkamah memihak kepada mereka, maka mereka akan melolong betapa Mahkamah kini bebas dan pro-pembangkang. Tetapi jika tidak menyebelahi mereka, mereka akan melalak mengutuk Mahkamah sebagai barua dan agen UMNO dan BN!

Terbaru mereka mendakwa Mahkamah Rayuan yang membenarkan rayuan Kerajaan melarang kristian menggunapakai kalimah ALLAH telah menjadi balaci UMNO. Malah mereka mendakwa UMNO sekarang sudah menjadi 'Almighty UMNO' kerana mengatasi Al-Quran sedangkan kata mereka Al-Quran sendiri membenarkan kristian, seperti juga Islam, boleh menggunakan kalimah ALLAH.

Dan mereka merujuk kepada Surah Ali-Imran: 64 dengan memetik seperti berikut, 'Say (O Muhammad): (O people of the scriptures (Jews and Christians)! Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but ALLAH'. Didalam Bahasa Melayu disebut, 'Katakan (wahai Muhammad), 'wahai ahli kitab (Yahudi dan Kristian)! Marilah kita menuju ke satu kalimah (pegangan) yang sama antara kami dan kamu, bahwa kita tidak menyembah selain ALLAH!'.

Sebahagian ayat 64 Surah Ali-Imran

Memang sesiapa yang membaca petikan ayat seperti diatas akan terpengaruh; ya tak ya, ALLAH sendiri berfirman kalimah ALLAH boleh diguna oleh Islam, Yahudi dan Kristian; jadi mengapa mereka dilarang daripada menggunakannya?

Untuk menjawab soalan ini, saya merujuk selang tujuh ayat iaitu Ali-Imran: 71, dimana ALLAH menempelak golongan ahli kitab (Yahudi & Kristian) dengan firman Nya, 'O people of the scriptures (Jews & Christians)! Why do you mix truth with faslehood, and conceal the truth while you know?'. Dalam Bahasa Melayu ia bermaksud 'Wahai ahli kitab (Yahudi dan Kristian)! Mengapa kamu mencampuradukkan kebenaran dengan kebatilan, dan kamu menyembunyikan kebenaran?'

Surah Ali-Imran: 71

Putar belit dan berbohong, cuba untuk menyesatkan kita!

Dan itulah sebenarnya yang sedang dilakukan oleh segelintir diantara mereka, dengan memetik hanya sebahagian daripada ayat 64 Surah Ali-Imran, dan menyembunyikan sebahagian daripadanya.

Dan tujuannya jelas. Ini disebut sendiri oleh ALLAH dalam ayat 69, 'Some of the people of the scriptures (Jews & Christians) wish to lead you astray. But they shall not lead astray anyone except themselves, and they perceived not'. Bermaksud 'segolongan ahli kitab ingin menyesatkan kamu. Padahal sesungguhnya mereka tidak menyesatkan melainkan diri mereka sendiri, tetapi mereka tidak menyedari'.

Surah Ali-Imran: 69

Adalah jelas mereka cuba meliwat ayat Al-Quran dengan hanya membaca sekerat sahaja ayat 64 Ali-Imran, dan menutup sebahagian yang lain. Sedangkan kalau dibaca sepenuhnya, ayat 64 sebenarnya menempelak Yahudi dan Kristian. Dan jika dibaca sehingga ayat 80, sebenarnya ALLAH bukan sahaja mengutuk mereka, malah mendedahkan  pekung dan niat busuk mereka.

Di ayat 78, ALLAH mendedahkan, 'And verily, among them is a party who distort the Book with their toungues (as they read), so that you may think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book, and they say, 'This is from ALLAH', but it is not from ALLAH, and they speak a lie against ALLAH while they know it' bermaksud 'Dan sungguh diantara mereka niscaya ada segolongan yang memutarbalikkan lidahnya membaca kitab, agar kamu menyangka yang mereka baca itu sebahagian daripada kitab, padahal itu bukan daripada kitab dan mereka berkata 'Itu dari ALLAH', padahal itu bukan dari ALLAH. Mereka mengatakan hal yang dusta terhadap ALLAH, padahal mereka mengetahui'.

Surah Ali-Imran: 78

Cubaan mereka adalah untuk berbohong dan memutarbelitkan ayat 64 dengan menyembunyikan sepenuhnya ayat itu konon untuk menunjukkan ALLAH menyatakan kalimah ALLAH boleh diguna oleh Islam dan Kristian! Betulkah? Mari kita perhatikan sepenuhnya ayat 64:

'Say (O Muhammad): 'O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but ALLAH (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides ALLAH'. Then if they (the Jews and Christians) turn away, say, 'Bear witness that we are Muslims'.

'Katakan (wahai Muhammad), 'wahai ahli kitab (Yahudi dan Kristian)! Marilah kita menuju ke satu kalimah (pegangan) yang sama antara kami dan kamu, bahwa kita tidak menyembah selain ALLAH, dan kita tidak mempersekutukan Nya dengan sesuatu pun, dan bahwa kita tidak menjadikan satu sama lain tuhan-tuhan selain ALLAH. Jika mereka berpaling maka katakanlah, :Persaksikanlah bahawa kami orang Muslim!'. 

Surah Ali-Imran: 64

Adalah jelas ayat 64 bukan sahaja tidak membenarkan mereka menggunakan kalimah ALLAH, malah menempelak mereka yang cuba menyengutukan kalimah ALLAH dengan seseorang atau sesuatu!

Dan itulah sebenarnya yang dilakukan oleh kristian zaman ini! Mereka menyengutukan Tuhan dengan seseorang dan sesuatu; mereka mendakwa ALLAH ada anak bernama Jesus, dan ada sekutu bernama Holy Spirit! Dan mereka cuba menamakannya dengan ALLAH The Father, ALLAH The Son & ALLAH The Holy Spirit; ALLAH Bapak, ALLAH Putra & ALLAH Ruh Suci!

Dan ALLAH memerintahkan Nabi Muhammad saw (dan kita umat Islam, supaya memperbetulkan amalan syirik dan kufur ini dengan mengajak mereka kembali menyembah ALLAH Hu-Ahad, ALLAH Yang Satu, dengan menyeru mereka bahawa;

'He is ALLAH, The One. He is ALLAH the Self-Sufficient Master, to whom all creatures need. He begets not, nor was he begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him';

'Dia-lah ALLAH, Yang Maha Esa. ALLAH, Tuhan tempat meminta segala makhluk. Dia tidak beranak dan tidak pula diperanakkan. Dan tidak ada sesuatu yang sekufu setara dengan Nya'.

Surah Al-Ikhlas

Dan jika mereka, Yahudi dan Kristian, tidak mahu mengangkat syahadah pengakuan bahawa ALLAH itu Maha Esa, maka kita umat Islam disertu supaya berkata kepada mereka:

KAMI ADALAH MUSLIM. KAMI MENYEMBAH HANYA ALLAH MAHA ESA!

Dan kita diseru memberi amaran kepada kaum kristian:

'O people of the scripture (Jew and Christian)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of ALLAH but the truth. The Messiah 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of ALLAH and His word, ("Be!" - and he was) which he bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Ruh) created by Him. So believe in ALLAH and His Messengers. Say not: "(ALLAH is) Three (Trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For ALLAH is (the only) One Ilah (God), Glorified is He (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And ALLAH is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs'.

'Wahai Ahli Kitab! Janganlah kamu melampaui batas dalam agama mu, dan janganlah kamu mengatakan terhadap ALLAH kecuali yang benar. Sungguh, Al Masih 'Isa putra Maryam itu adalah utusan ALLAH dan (yang diciptakan dengan) kalimah Nya yang disampaikan Nya kepada Maryam, dan (dengan tiupan) roh dari Nya. Maka berimanlah kepada ALLAH dan Rasul Nya dan janganlah kamu mengatakan "(ALLAH itu) Tiga (triniti)". Berhentilah (dari berkata sedemikian). Itu lebih baik bagimu. Sesungguhnya ALLAH Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, Maha Suci dia dari (tohmahan) mempunyai anak. Milik Nya apa yang ada di langit, dan apa yang ada di bumi. Dan cukuplah ALLAH sebagai Pelindung'.

 Surah An-Nisa' 4: 171

Dan jika mereka masih terus mahu mensyrikkan ALLAH, dan bersikap kufur, maka ALLAH berfirman:

'Say (O Muhammad) to these musyrikin dan kaafiruun: "O Al-Kaafiruun (disbelievers in ALLAH, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadr)! "I worship not that you worship, nor will you worship that which I worship; And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping, nor will you worship that which I worship. To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islamic monotheism)';

'Katakan (wahai Muhammad), "Wahai orang-orang kafir (yang ingkar tidak percaya ALLAH, kepada keesaan ALLAH, kepada Malaikat Nya, kepada Kitab-Kitab Nya, kepada Rasul utusan Nya, kepada Hari Kebangkitan, kepada Qada' & Qadar)!. "Aku tidak menyembah apa yang kamu sembah, dan kamu bukan penyembah apa yang aku sembah. Aku tidak pernah menjadi penyembah apa yang kamu sembah, dan kamu tidak pernah pula menjadi penyembah apa yang aku sembah. Untuk mu agama mu, untukku agama ku'.

Surah Al-Kaafirun

Saya menyeru kepada semua umat Islam, tidak kira apa fahaman politik dan patar-belakang kita, berpeganglah kepada tali ALLAH, dan bersatu-padulah dibawah ukhwah Islamiyyah. Puak kafir, musyrikin dan munafiq sedang menyerang kita dari segala penjuru; dan segala arah. Ini telah disabdakan oleh Rasulullah saw kepada kita akan berlaku di akhir zaman, di zaman fitnah.

Kita sedang melalui zaman itu sekarang. Kita sedang mengharungi fitnah itu sekarang!

Janganlah kita menjadi seperti ahli kitab Yahudi dan Nasara, yang telah diberitahu melalui Rasul, Nabi dan utusan-utusan ALLAH melalui wahyu, kitab dan peringatan. Namun mereka menolak kebenaran itu bila ia datang; dan mereka menjadi kufur, syirik dan sesat!

Al-Quran ditangan kita, Hadis Nabi saw bersama kita; segala kitab peringatan ada di pundak kita. Mengapa kita meilih untuk menolaknya? Mengapa kita memilih untuk bersekongkol dengan kebatilan, kekufuran, kesyirikan dan kemunafikan?

Kembalilah ke jalan ALLAH! Kembalilah kepada Al-Quran.

Kepada kaum kafir, we know what you are up to! Don't think we Muslim are stupid fools, although you have succeeded in making a fool from some of us who are plainly stupid!

Please remember Al-Quran is not a comic book like Doraemon comic! Al-Quran is not a story book! Al-Quran is Al-Quran! There is strict discipline in reading it! Don't do to Al-Quran what you did to your own book! Please, we know what you know, we know what you may not know! For ALLAH is All-Knowing!

And we say to you:

Lakum dii nukum waliyadiin!

Wallahua'lam dan Wassalam.
