Ini merupakan kesinambungan posting sebelum ini Pemuda Remaja Adalah Pengikut Imam Mahdi. Saya baru jumpa buku ini semalam; Tip-Tip Cemerlang Daripada Quran oleh Dr. Danial Zainal Abidin. Saya membeleknya di kedai buku dan terus terjumpa Bab 29: Cemerlang dengan Membentuk Pelapis. Saya bawakan beberapa petikan dalam buku ini.

Golongan Muda Zaman Nabi Musa

Pada zaman Nabi Musa, golongan muda banyak memainkan peranan membela kebenaran. Dalam surah Yunus ayat 83, Tuhan berfirman, “Tidak beriman kepada Musa melainkan golongan muda dari kaumnya dalam keadaan takut bahawa Firaun dan pemuka-pemuka kaumnya akan menyeksa mereka.”

Berhubung dengan ayat ini, Hamka di dalam Tafsir al-Azhar berkata, “Ayat ini menjelaskan sebab musabab ramai golongan muda dan bukan golongan tua beriman kepada Nabi Musa… Golongan tua sudah berkeluarga dan menanggung banyak tanggungjawab dan kehidupan mereka banyak bergantung pada belas kasihan Firaun, justeru mereka tidak mahu beriman kepada Nabi Musa. Sebaliknya anak cucu mereka dari golongan muda bersedia untuk menerima ajaran baginda.”

Said Hawa di dalam al-Asas fit Tafsir pula berkata, “Kebiasaannya golongan yang mudah menerima seruan untuk melakukan islah atau perbaikan di dalam masyarakat ialah golongan muda. Hal ini disebabkan fitrah mereka masih sejahtera dan jiwa mereka lebih bersedia untuk menerima kebenaran.” …

Golongan Muda pada Zaman Nabi

….
Sahabat-sahabat Nabi yang muda remaja memang ramai. Contohnya sahabat Abdullah bin Abbas. Dilahirkan tiga tahun sebelum hijrah. Semasa nabi wafat, beliau baru berumur tiga belas tahun. Beliau amat mahir dalam bidang tafsir Quran sehingga diberikan gelaran Turjuman al-Quran atau penterjemah Quran.

Sahabat Ali bin Abi Talib adalah remaja yang berilmu tinggi lagi berani. Semasa nabi berhijrah, beliau tidur di tempat tidur nabi dengan tujuan memperdayakan golongan kafir Quraisy. Pada masa itu, beliau berumur lebih kurang Sembilan belas tahun. Pada bulan Safar tahun ke-2 hijrah, semasa berumur dua puluh satu tahun, beliau berkahwin dengan anak nabi iaitu Fatimah az-Zahra.

Sahabat Abdullah bin Omar adalah seorang sahabat yang amat menghalusi sunah nabi. Beliau berhijrah ke Madinah semasa berumur sepuluh tahun.

Semua ini menunjukkan golongan muda memainkan peranan penting ke arah mendaulatkan Islam pada zaman nabi. Perkara ini sewajarnya kita contohi pada hari ini.

Sekian daripada Dr. Danial Zainal Abidin.

Respon saya mudah. Posting ini bukan tentang konflik Kaum Muda-Kaum Tua. Respon saya yang merupakan seorang ‘remaja tua’ yang semakin lanjut usia dan semakin liat kepada adik-adik saya yang muda remaja, yang mempunyai potensi lebih besar daripada saya. Cuba kita sama-sama memikirkan pujian Allah di dalam Surah al-Kahfi kepada segolongan pemuda remaja yang keluar daripada ‘melting potgodless society melarikan diri ke dalam gua untuk menjaga iman mereka.

Kami ceritakan kisah mereka kepadamu dengan sebenar-benarnya. Sesungguhnya mereka itu adalah pemuda-pemuda yang beriman kepada Tuhan mereka dan Kami tambahkan kepada mereka petunjuk.” (Al-Kahfi: 13).

Saya berikan contoh yang mudah kepada remaja-remaja tentang bagaimana mendapat petunjuk. Petunjuk daripada Allah yang mampu memberikan kuasa untuk melihat sesuatu seperti mana sesuatu itu sebagaimana suruhan Allah membaca Surah al-Kahfi setiap hari Jumaat:

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri meriwayatkan daripada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.: “Sesiapa yang membaca Surah al-Kahfi pada hari Jumaat akan menerima cahaya daripada Jumaat ke Jumaat yang berikutnya.” (Nasa’i, Baihaqi, Hakim).

Dengan cahaya ini juga anda dapat melihat siapakah pengikut Sunnah yang sebenar. Saya berikan contoh yang mudah seperti di bawah.

Saya sering mengatakan golongan muda remaja adalah golongan yang masih bebas merdeka. Bebas daripada belenggu-belenggu status quo dalam diri yang boleh menghalang anda daripada melihat realiti. Dan kebanyakan anda juga bebas daripada riba’. Anda mengatakan apa signifikasinya? Saya berikan contoh yang mudah seperti di bawah. Contoh ini boleh saja termasuk diri saya.

Seorang pemuda/pemudi ini merupakan seorang yang komited dalam da’wah. Beliau aktif dalam usrah dan haraki. Dan setelah mendapat ijazah di universiti tempatan, beliau masih mengekalkan semangat keHARAKIannya dengan menyertai pertubuhan Islam yang mengembangkan da’wah dan islah dalam masyarakat. Tiada masalah dalam hal ini. Ini suatu perkara yang baik. Setelah beberapa tahun, beliau telah mempunyai kerjaya dan kewangan yang kukuh. Maka melalui baitul Muslim jamaahnya, beliau telah bertemu pasangan hidup yang ideal yang dapat berkongsi perasaan kasih sayang, suka dan duka dan berkongsi fikrah yang sama. Maka segala persiapan perlu disediakan, rumah dan kereta. Beliau mahukan rumah dan kereta baru yang selesa untuk membina bi’ah solehah. Maka beliau membuat pinjaman di Bank, ya pinjaman berasaskan riba atau backdoor riba.

Anda pula seorang pemuda remaja 17 tahun sekolah kebangsaan yang terpaksa hidup dalam godless society. Anda baru sahaja selesai mengkaji tentang haramnya riba’. Anda juga ada semangat untuk melakukan da’wah tapi masih belum kenal lagi apa itu usrah dan haraki. Anda menyampaikan risalah da’wah anda kepada pemuda/pemudi haraki tersebut. Da’wah anda diterima dengan senyuman dan dibalas dengan lembut: “Adik, adik masih muda lagi. Perjalanan hidup adik masih jauh. Untuk hidup di zaman yang mencabar ini, kita harus berpijak di alam nyata, berpijak kepada realiti. Teruskan menuntut ilmu dan adab dalam berda’wah.” Anda terkesima. Sekarang anda akan faham apa yang diperkatakan oleh Hamka di dalam Tafsir al-Azhar dan Said Hawa di dalam al-Asas fit Tafsir seperti yang disebut sebelum ini. Dan anda akan faham signifikan posting saya Pengikut Imam Mahdi Adalah Pemuda Remaja. Saya sudah berikan kepada anda contoh yang mudah yang dapat saya dan anda faham.

Persoalannya, adakah saya ‘remaja tua’ (adakah saya sudah terlepas gerabak keretapi?) dan anda pemuda remaja yang mempunyai potensi yang besar sanggup menyahut cabaran Allah dalam Surah al-Kahfi? Lihat pemuda remaja, anda mempunyai kuasa yang besar! Tetapi ada suatu kuasa godless di luar sana yang ingin merampas kuasa anda! Tidakkah anda tertanya-tertanya mengapa keruntuhan akhlak remaja semakin menjadi-jadi hingga menjadi bualan golongan ‘remaja tua’ seperti saya dan menggariskan seribu satu jalan penyelesaian untuk membendung masalah ini dan memasukkannya dalam soalan esei PMR: “Apakah faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan masalah keruntuhan akhlak remaja? Sila jawab dengan tidak melebihi 200 patah perkataan.” tetapi masalah ini tetap berlaku? Adakah ini hanya satu kebetulan?

SEBAHAGIAN DARIPADA PENGIKUT-PENGIKUT MUDA IMAM MAHDI (A.S.) AKAN MENJAUHKAN DAN MEMISAHKAN DIRI DARIPADA KELUARGA-KELUARGA MEREKA YANG TERPERANGKAP DALAM TIPU DAYA DAJJAL AKIBAT DARIPADA TEKANAN DAN ANCAMAN YANG MENIMPA KE ATAS MEREKA

Sepanjang lembaran sejarah, para pemuda yang beriman yang telah memilih jalan yang benar yang telah disampaikan oleh Nabi-Nabi yang telah diutuskan sebagai rahmat daripada Allah, yang telah membantu mereka dan beriman dengan Kitab-Kitab yang diturunkan oleh Allah, sering kali ditimpa pelbagai tekanan daripada orang-orang sekeliling mereka, terutamanya keluarga-keluarga mereka. Para pemuda ini akan mencintai Hazrat Mahdi (a.s) dengan sepenuh hati, yang kedatangannya di Akhir Masa diharapkan dengan rasa yang penuh gembira. Mereka akan mempercayai Imam Mahdi (a.s.) sebenar-benarnya sebagai seorang utusan suci yang diturunkan oleh Allah dan mereka akan hidup berdasarkan nilai-nilai moral al-Qur’an bersama mereka. Para pemuda ini akan menerima pelbagai jenis ujian yang pernah menimpa orang-orang Islam yang lain sepanjang lembaran sejarah, seperti mana yang disebutkan dalam ayat ini: Apakah kamu mengira bahwa kamu akan masuk syurga, padahal belum datang kepadamu (cubaan) sebagaimana halnya orang-orang terdahulu sebelum kamu? (Al-Baqarah: 214). Maka oleh kerana itu, terdapat persamaan antara contoh-contoh yang disebut dalam al-Qur’an dan perkara-perkara yang menimpa sesetengah pengikut Hazrat Imam Mahdi (a.s.)

TELAH DIRIWAYATKAN DALAM SEBUAH HADITH BAHAWA PARA PENGIKUT IMAM MAHDI (A.S.) AKAN TIDAK MEMPUNYAI KAWAN SELAIN ANTARA MEREKA, SEHINGGAKAN JIKA MEREKA SESAT, TIDAK AKAN ADA SIAPA MENCARI MEREKA. INI MENUNJUKKAN PANDANGAN NEGATIF MASYARAKAT YANG TINGGAL BERSAMA MEREKA, KELUARGA MEREKA, DAN SAUDARA MEREKA TERHADAP MEREKA:

Dia berkata: Carilah mereka di penghujung dunia. Kehidupan mereka adalah sederhana, rumah mereka di belakang mereka, jika mereka hadir mereka tidak akan dikenali, JIKA MEREKA SESAT JALAN, TIDAK ADA SESIAPA YANG AKAN MENCARI MEREKA, JIKA MEREKA SAKIT TIDAK ADA SIAPA AKAN MELAWAT MEREKA, jika mereka ingin berkahwin, tidak ada siapa akan menerima lamaran mereka. SEKIRANYA MEREKA MATI, TIDAK ADA SIAPA YANG AKAN HADIR PENGEBUMIAN MEREKA. Mereka berkongsi harta benda mereka sama rata antara mereka dan melawat kubur masing-masing; impian mereka adalah sama, walaupun mereka tinggal di bandar yang berlainan.

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 23).

HADITH MENUNJUKKAN BAHAWA PARA PENOLONG HAZRAT MAHDI (A.S.) SEDIKIT BILANGANNYA SEPERTI PARA PENGIKUT NABI MUSA (A.S.) DAN PEMUDA AL-KAHFI.

Hukaym Ibn S’ad berkata: Saya mendengar panglima mereka yang beriman Ali (r.a) berkata: MASYARAKAT QAIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (A.S.)] ADALAH MUDA, DAN TIADA YANG TUA ANTARA MEREKA. Bilangan mereka sedikit seperti kohl di mata atau garam dalam makanan. Dan garam adalah sesuatu yang paling kecil dalam makanan.

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 374).

Hadith-hadith lain menunjukkan akan terdapat orang muda (orang muda di sini bukan bermaksud belia 30 tahun yang sudah menginginkan status quo dan sesuatu yang ‘praktikal’ untuk memuaskan keluarga, anak-anak dan isteri ‘tercinta’. Ini kerana seperti yang tersebut di atas, sekiranya mereka ingin melamar seseorang, maka lamarannya akan ditolak, menunjukkan mereka muda remaja bukan ‘remaja’ tua – pendapat malakian) yang akan berada di sekeliling Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.):

Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.) adalah SEORANG YANG MUDA daripada Ahl al-Bayt (daripada keturunanku (Rasulullah)). GOLONGAN TUA DI ANTARA KAMU TIDAK AKAN MENEMUINYA, TETAPI GOLONGAN MUDA AKAN BERHARAP UNTUK MENEMUINYA. Allah akan melakukan sebagaimana yang dikehendaki-Nya.
(Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir Zaman, p. 23)

Bendera Imam Mahdi akan dipegang oleh seorang ORANG MUDA yang KECIL dengan janggut yang sedikit dan berwarna kuning. (Janggut yang sedikit dan berwarna kuning menunjukkan dia sangat muda, bukan berjanggut putih yang menunjukkan usia yang sudah lanjut – pendapat malakian).
(Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, fi ‘Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 51)

Pemegang bendera beliau (Hazrat Mahdi a.s.) AKAN MERUPAKAN SEORANG YANG MUDA daripada keturunan Tamimi daripada Timur.
(Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar , fi ‘Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 26).

DI DALAM AL-QUR’AN, ALLAH MERUJUK KEPADA ORANG ISLAM YANG MENINGGALKAN KELUARGA-KELUARGA MEREKA ATAU MASYARAKAT YANG TINGGAL BERSAMA MEREKA KERANA TEKANAN DAN PENINDASAN YANG DIHADAPI MEREKA, SEPERTI:

(Ingatlah) tatkala para pemuda itu mencari tempat berlindung ke dalam gua, lalu mereka berdoa: “Wahai Tuhan kami, berikanlah rahmat kepada kami dari sisi-Mu dan sempurnakanlah bagi kami petunjuk yang lurus dalam urusan kami (ini).” (Surah al-Kahf: 10)

Dan janganlah sekali-kali menceritakan halmu kepada seorangpun. Sesungguhnya jika mereka dapat mengetahui tempatmu, nescaya mereka akan melempar kamu dengan batu, atau memaksamu kembali kepada agama mereka, dan jika demikian nescaya kamu tidak akan beruntung selama lamanya.” (Surah al-Kahfi, 19-20).

ORANG MUDA YANG BERIMAN DENGAN NABI MUSA (A.S.):

Maka tidak ada yang beriman kepada Musa, melainkan pemuda-pemuda dari kaumnya (Musa) dalam keadaan takut bahwa Fir’aun dan pemuka-pemuka kaumnya akan menyiksa mereka. Sesungguhnya Fir’aun itu berbuat sewenang-wenang di muka bumi. Dan sesungguhnya dia termasuk orang-orang yang melampaui batas. (Surah Yunus: 83).

NABI IBRAHIM (A.S) YANG MEMISAHKAN DIRINYA DARIPADA BAPANYA:

Berkata bapaknya: “Bencikah kamu kepada tuhan-tuhanku, hai Ibrahim? Jika kamu tidak berhenti, maka niscaya kamu akan kurejam, dan tinggalkanlah aku buat waktu yang lama.”
Berkata Ibrahim: “Semoga keselamatan dilimpahkan kepadamu, aku akan memintakan ampun bagimu kepada Tuhanku. Sesungguhnya Dia sangat baik kepadaku”
“Dan aku akan menjauhkan diri darimu dan dari apa yang kamu seru selain Allah, dan aku akan berdoa kepada Tuhanku, mudah-mudahan aku tidak akan kecewa dengan berdoa kepada Tuhanku”. (Maryam, 46-48).

Dan permintaan ampun dari Ibrahim (kepada Allah) untuk bapaknya tidak lain hanyalah karena suatu janji yang telah diikrarkannya kepada bapaknya itu. Maka, tatkala jelas bagi Ibrahim bahwa bapaknya itu adalah musuh Allah, maka Ibrahim berlepas diri dari padanya. Sesungguhnya Ibrahim adalah seorang yang sangat lembut hatinya lagi penyantun. (Al-Tawba: 114).

NABI NUH (A.S.) MENGASINGKAN DIRI DARIPADA ANAKNYA:

Dan Nuh berseru kepada Tuhannya sambil berkata: “Ya Tuhanku, sesungguhnya anakku termasuk keluargaku, dan sesungguhnya janji Engkau itulah yang benar. Dan Engkau adalah Hakim yang seadil-adilnya.”
Allah berfirman: “Hai Nuh, sesungguhnya dia bukanlah termasuk keluargamu (yang dijanjikan akan diselamatkan), sesungguhnya (perbuatan)nya perbuatan yang tidak baik. Sebab itu janganlah kamu memohon kepada-Ku sesuatu yang kamu tidak mengetahui (hakikat)nya. Sesungguhnya Aku memperingatkan kepadamu supaya kamu jangan termasuk orang-orang yang tidak berpengetahuan.” (Hud: 45-46)

NABI NUH (A.S.) DAN LUT (A.S.) MENGASINGKAN DIRI MEREKA DARIPADA ISTERI-ISTERI MEREKA:

Allah membuat isteri Nuh dan isteri Luth sebagai perumpamaan bagi orang-orang kafir. Keduanya berada di bawah pengawasan dua orang hamba yang saleh di antara hamba-hamba Kami; lalu kedua isteri itu berkhianat kepada suaminya (masing-masing), maka suaminya itu tiada dapat membantu mereka sedikitpun dari (siksa) Allah; dan dikatakan (kepada keduanya): “Masuklah ke dalam jahannam bersama orang-orang yang masuk (jahannam).” (Al-Tahrim: 10)

Sebagaimana yang kita lihat pada ayat-ayat al-Qur’an di atas, sekiranya orang-orang yang beriman dengan Allah dan ingin hidup dalam keredhaanNya, akan menerima tekanan dan penindasan daripada keluarga mereka dan masyarakat di sekeliling mereka, dan mereka akan meninggalkan keluarga dan masyarakat dan hidup berdasarkan nilai moral dalam Islam, dalam keadaan aman dan selamat dengan orang beriman yang lain. Allah memuji sifat ini dalam al-Qur’an.

SEBAHAGIAN SAHABAT NABI DI ZAMAN NABI KITA MUHAMMAD (S.A.W.) DITIMPA TEKANAN YANG BERAT DARIPADA KELUARGA MEREKA , DIPENJARA DAN DIZALIMI, SEMATA-MATA KERANA BERIMAN KEPADA ALLAH DAN HIDUP BERDASARKAN NILAI MORAL AL-QUR’AN:

Ummu Gulthum Bin Ukda terpaksa hidup bersama penyembah berhala di Mekah selama tujuh tahun kerana tekanan keluarganya. Sejak dia berbai’ah dengan Rasulullah, dia, seperti orang Islam yang lain menerima pelbagai kezaliman dan tekanan. Dia terdedah kepada tekanan dan kezaliman terutama daripada ayahnya dan penyembah berhala yang lain agar dia meninggalkan nilai moral Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, dia merupakan contoh kepada orang Islan yang lain DENGAN MENINGGALKAN KELUARGANYA DAN PERGI BERHIJRAH SEORANG DIRI.

Mus’ab Ibn Umayr (r.a.) tetap mengunjungi Rasulullah secara rahsia, menyembunyikan keimanannya daripada keluarga dan rakan-rakannya. Tatkala keluarganya mengetahui dia secara rahsia menunaikan solat, beliau ditahan dan dipenjarakan oleh saudara-maranya sendiri, dan apabila terbuka peluang untuk berhijrah ke Ethiopia, DIA MENINGGALKAN KELUARGANYA DAN BERHIJRAH KE ETHIOPIA dengan kumpulan utama agar dapat hidup berdasarkan nilai moral Islam.

Hazrat Salama merupakan sahabat Nabi yang telah lama menerima perlakuan buruk daripada keluarganya kerana beriman kepada Allah. Walaupun beliau abangnya Harith beriman dan mengikuti Rasulullah (S.A.W), adik-beradiknya yang lain, Abu Jahl, As dan Khalid tidak menerima nilai moral agama yang diturukan oleh Allah dan menjadi musuh kepada terhadap adaik-beradiknya yang beriman. Salama diseksa dalam jangka masa yang lama oleh mereka yang dekat dengannya. Oleh kerana adik-beradiknya mencuba sedaya upaya untuk memaksa Salama meninggalkan nilai moral Islam, DIA BERHIJRAH KE ETHIOPIA AGAR DAPAT MENYELAMATKAN HIDUPNYA DAN DAPAT HIDUP MENGAMALKAN NILAI MORAL ISLAM SECARA BEBAS.

JELAS BAHAWA DALAM HADITH NABI MUHAMMAD (S.A.W) BAHAWA RAKAN-RAKAN DAN SAUDARA-MARA SEBAHAGIAN ORANG MUDA YANG BERSAMA HAZRAT MAHDI (A.S.) DI PENGHUJUNG MASA, DI TATKALA KEROSAKAN YANG DISEBABKAN OLEH DAJJAL SAMPAI KE KEMUNCAKNYA, MEREKA (SAUDARA-MARA ORANG MUDA PENGIKUT HAZRAT MAHDI) AKAN MEMUJUK MEREKA UNTUK MENGIKUT JALAN DAJJAL.

Adalah jelas bahawa sebahagian pengikut Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.) yang menerima tekanan akan bersikap sama terhadap orang-orang beriman yang lain:

Sebahagian kerosakan yang dibawa oleh Dajjal ialah ia akan berkata kepada seorang Badwi: “Adakah kamu akan percaya bahawa saya adalah Tuhanmu sekiranya saya menghidupkan kembali ibu dan ayahmu? Badwi itu berkata: “Ya.” Dua syaitan akan menjelma menyerupai rupa paras ibu dan ayahnya dan akan berkata: “WAHAI ANAKKU, IKUTILAH DIA. SESUNGGUHNYA DIA ADALAH TUHANMU.” (Hadith riwayat al-Tirmidhi.)

DALAM AL-QUR’AN, ALLAH MEMERINTAHKAN MANUSIA AGAR TIDAK BERSAMA TETAPI MENINGGALKAN MEREKA YANG INGIN MEMESONGKAN MEREKA DARIPADA JALANNYA, WALAUPUN MEREKA ITU ADALAH IBU, AYAH, ANAK-ANAK DAN ADIK-BERADIK.

Dan Kami wajibkan manusia (berbuat) kebaikan kepada dua orang ibu- bapaknya. Dan jika keduanya memaksamu untuk mempersekutukan Aku dengan sesuatu yang tidak ada pengetahuanmu tentang itu, maka janganlah kamu mengikuti keduanya. Hanya kepada-Ku-lah kembalimu, lalu Aku khabarkan kepadamu apa yang telah kamu kerjakan. (Al-Ankabut:8)

Hai orang-orang beriman, janganlah kamu jadikan bapa-bapa dan saudara-saudaramu menjadi wali(mu), jika mereka lebih mengutamakan kekafiran atas keimanan dan siapa di antara kamu yang menjadikan mereka wali, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang zalim. (Al-Taubah: 23)

Hai orang-orang mukmin, sesungguhnya di antara isteri-isterimu dan anak-anakmu ada yang menjadi musuh bagimu maka berhati-hatilah kamu terhadap mereka dan jika kamu memaafkan dan tidak memarahi serta mengampuni (mereka) maka sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang. (Al-Taghabun: 14)

Kamu tak akan mendapati kaum yang beriman pada Allah dan hari akhirat, saling berkasih-sayang dengan orang-orang yang menentang Allah dan Rasul-Nya, sekalipun orang-orang itu bapa-bapa, atau anak-anak atau saudara-saudara ataupun keluarga mereka. (Al-Mujadalah: 22)

Sebagaimana yang dapat dilihat daripada ayat-ayat al-Qur’an dan hadith-hadith tersebut, SEBAHAGIAN ORANG MUDA YANG HIDUP DI ZAMAN HAZRAT MAHDI (A.S.) DAN MENGIKUTI PETUNJUK YANG BERGUNA INI UNTUK KESELAMATAN, akan menderita daripada perlakuan keluarga mereka, yang berada di bawah kawalan Dajjal, sebagaimana yang menimpa orang yang beriman di masa lalu, mereka (orang muda ini) akan memilih untuk “MENINGGALKAN DAN MEMISAHKAN DIRI” seperti yang diwahyukan Allah dalam al-Qur’an.

Money has no meaning beyond its concrete existence; it is merely another object with certain physical properties.

The human mind insists otherwise. The mind confers real value and elaborate power on these mere scraps of paper. It infuses money with potent psychological meanings, a surrogate for mortal anxieties and yearnings that lie deep and unexpressed in everyone. The psyche insists that money has meaning. And so does society. By stripping money down to its natural properties, Bene invites the viewer to escape for a moment at least, the bondage of his own mind.

The money illusion is ancient and universal, present in every transaction and absolutely necessary to every exchange. Money is worthless unless everyone believes in it. A buyer could not possibly offer a piece of paper in exchange for real goods – food or clothing or tools – if the seller did not also think the paper was really worth something.

This shared illusion was as old as stone coins and wampum, a power universally conferred by every society in history on any object that was ever regarded as money – seashells, dogs’ teeth, tobacco, whiskey, cattle, the shiny minerals called silver and gold, even paper, even number in account book. …

Modern money, of course, required the same leap of faith, the same social consent that primitive societies gave to their money. Modern money, in fact, was even more distant from concrete reality. Over the centuries, the evolution of money was a long and halting progression in which human societies hesitantly transferred their money faith from one object to another, at each step moving farther away from real value and closer to pure abstraction. The cattle used as currency by some African tribes were, after all, valuable in themselves. If the money illusion collapsed from some reason, the coins were still cattle. The seashells that became precious currency among aboriginal tribes in North America and other continents were desirable Tobacco, which was used as currency in some pre-Revolutionary colonies like Virginia and the Carolinas, was valuable commodity in its own right. Even gold and silver were not entirely useless. They could be fashioned by an artist into beautiful objects.

In that sense, modern money was utterly worthless (and, therefore, more efficient as money because its value did not get confused with the value of real things). The money illusion was now refined to a new level of abstract faith, visible only if one consciously paused to consider how the money process had evolved. At each stage of history one could see money retreating from concrete reality.

Paper money, it is said, originated with the goldsmiths of Europe who held the private gold hoards deposited by wealthy citizens for safekeeping. The goldsmith issued a receipt for the gold deposit, and over time, it became clear that the receipt itself could be used in commerce since whoever owned that piece of paper could go the goldsmith and claim the gold. Modern banking originated in the goldsmiths’ discovery that they could safely write more receipts and lend them to people, exceeding the total gold that was on hand, so long as they always kept a responsible minimum in reserve to honor withdrawals. This was the origin of fractional-reserve banking and the bank lending that created money. This private money system endured for centuries and was inherited by the American Republic: privately owned banks created money by issuing paper bank notes, paper backed by a promise that at any time it could be redeemed in gold. …

The nationalization of currency issuance, completed with the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, simply continued this arrangement. A new dimension of trust had added to the illusion.

Finally the last prop for the money illusion was kicked away in this century: the gold standard was abandoned. Demand deposits had been backed by the same promise that applied to currency – any private citizen could, in theory, go to the bank and redeem his money in a quantity of gold. That promise was extinguished by government edict, starting with the waring nations of Europe during World War I, joined belatedly by the United States in 1933. Without the gold guarantee, money was only money – “legal tender for all debts, public and private,” as it says on every Federal Reserve Note. A citizen can still go to the bank and redeem it, but his money will be redeemed only in new, identical Federal Reserve Notes. …

Next the paper itself disappears. Money becomes truly invisible. Americans are now in the midst of this great transition – transferring their money faith again, this time to objects that are even more intangible. Commerce relies increasingly now on transactions in which the social trust is conferred upon plastic cards. The plastic itself money, only a coded key that gives access to money. As computer technology advances and money terminals are placed in every outlet of commerce, the plastic cards will displace both checks and currency as the medium of exchange. The pieces of paper will all but disappear, no longer needed to represent real value.

Excerpt from the book: Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country by William Greider.

Islam, Murabaha and Fixed Deposits

Islam and Usury

Written by Imran N. Hosein

Islam has declared war on the moneylender who demands interest. It did so in the very last divine revelation (al-Baqarah, 2:279) to come down in the Holy Qur’an. Here is that last revelation:

“O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for usury (i.e., the interest due on a fixed deposit, or on any other loan on interest), if ye are indeed believers.” If ye do it not (i.e. if you persist in your claim or demand for the interest due to you), then take notice of (a declaration of) war from Allah and His Messenger: but if ye turn away (from such claim or demand), then you are entitled to the return of your capital sum (placed in the fixed deposit or otherwise lent); do not enter into (such) unjust transactions, nor allow yourselves to be subjected to such.

If (you forgo the interest due to you and then find) the debtor in a difficulty (in respect of returning the capital sum that was lent to him on interest), grant him time till it is easy for him to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew.

And (in this matter in particular, i.e., lending money on interest) fear the Day when ye shall be brought back to Allah. Then shall every soul be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly.’ (Qur’an, al-Baqarah, 2:278-281)

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) declared that the consumption of even a Dirham (a silver coin worth a few dollars) of Riba (usury) was equivalent to “committing adultery 36 times”. He also declared that Riba was comprised of 70 parts and that the smallest part (was so bad that) it was equivalent to “a man marrying his own mother”. Indeed “he cursed all four, and declared that they were all equally guilty—the one who took Riba (i.e., the money-lender), the one who gave Riba (i.e., while paying interst on a loan), the one who recorded the transaction (hence bank personnel), and the two witnesses.”

Fifty years ago my own Muslim community of Trinidad and Tobago was led by Haji Ruknuddin (may Allah have mercy on him). He was a leader who both ‘knew’ and ‘lived’ Islam. At that time a Muslim money-lender appeared on the scene and the leader of our community made every effort to get that man to give up his money-lending. When he failed in that effort he responded by prohibiting Muslims from even having a meal in the moneylender’s home. The Muslim community obeyed the command of its leader.

But times have since changed, and our Muslim community is now led, with but few exceptions, by men who neither ‘know’ nor ‘live’ Islam, and by scholars who betray Islam. We even have Muslim leaders here in Trinidad who are consummate money-lenders, placing their money in highest yielding fixed-deposits in the international money market. They then use their bloated check-books that drip with the blood of the masses they have exploited, to bribe their way into winning elections and assuming posts of President-General of Islamic organizations. Those with the intellectual acumen of cattle then legitimize such (checkbook) leaders.

Even Islamic scholars have fallen by the wayside so badly that when a Trinidadian (money-lending) bank organizes a function to commemorate Eid al-Fitr, an Imam who is described as a Maulana accepts an invitation to deliver a feature address at the function. Then his photograft appears in the daily newspaper posing with bank officials. And so, there is both widespread ignorance of the divine law pertaining to the prohibition of Riba, and, worse, wanton violation of that law.

In this essay we direct attention to ‘Fixed Deposits’ as well as to so-called Murabaha transactions in an attempt to explain such to be ‘money-lending’ transactions.

At the heart of the Islamic prohibition of usury (Riba) is the maxim that if you do not plant, you cannot reap. This constitutes a rejection of the false claim to a ‘time-value’ of money. Money by itself cannot increase over time without any input of labor, or without the risk (of loss or of gain) inherent in an authentic business transaction.

The blessed Prophet declared that any transaction involving an exchange of ‘money’ for ‘money’ must be an equal exchange, i.e., with no difference in amount of money exchanged. He declared that an unequal exchange (that would open the door for money to increase over time) would be Riba. Islam also insists that all business transactions must involve risk – and hence ‘profit’ or ‘loss’. Allah Most High can then intervene to distribute and redistribute wealth by taking from some and giving to others. In this way the rich would not remain permanently rich, and the poor would not be imprisoned in permanent poverty

In his masterpiece entitled ‘Merchant of Venice’, William Shakespeare likened Riba or usury to a ‘pound of flesh’. And in a dream Prophet Muhammad saw the moneylender exposed as a ‘bloodsucker’ since he was standing in a river of blood. We noted earlier that the Prophet cursed “all four”, and declared that “they were all equally guilty—the ones who ‘took’ Riba, ‘gave’ Riba, ‘recorded the transaction’, and ‘the two witnesses’.” Whoever dies with the curse of a Prophet upon him can never escape the hellfire. The Qur’an itself declared that the moneylender would be punished with eternal hellfire:

“Those who devour usury will not stand (before their Lord for Judgment) except as stands one whom Satan by his touch hath driven to madness.That is because they claim that: ‘Business is like lending on interest,’ but Allah hath permitted business and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who persist (in claiming the interest due from fixed deposits or other such loans on interest) are Companions of the Hellfire; they will abide therein (forever).”
(Qur’an, al-Baqarah, 2:275)

What then, is the status of someone who makes a ‘Fixed Deposit’ with his money in a bank or any other financial institution? It should firstly be clear that he has not gifted the money. It must also be recognized that he has not entered into a ‘business’ transaction since he is guaranteed the return of his money plus an additional amount. There is no risk. There is no possibility of loss. And hence that is not business! In fact, in making a ‘Fixed Deposit’, he has lent his money on interest (Riba), and has hence become a cursed moneylender. Those (Muslims, Christians, Hindus, etc.) who read this essay and, in consequence of fear of Allah’s eternal punishment, promptly respond by breaking their ‘Fixed Deposits’, would want to know what they could do with their Riba money. They can neither use it themselves, nor can they give it to others as charity.

BACK-DOOR RIBA

Islamic Banks and other Islamic financial institutions are today lending money on interest through the back-door by disguising a loan as a sale on credit. They call it murabaha! But it is most certainly not murabaha! It is Riba! What the bank does is to offer an item on sale in a credit transaction with a price substantially higher than the cash price. While credit transactions are Halal, since the blessed Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) himself engaged in such transactions, there is no evidence that the credit price in such transactions was ever higher than the cash price. When credit price is higher than cash price then the implication would be that time has value. And the essence of Riba is that money grows over time. When a client wishes to purchase something, but does not possess the cash with which to purchase it, the so-called Islamic bank enters into the fiction of purchasing the item at its cash price and then selling it to the client on credit. The interest charges are added to the selling price thus making a credit price for the item substantially higher than the cash price.

In fact the bank never actually purchases the item. Rather, it writes out a check to the client who then purchases the item in his name with the bank holding a lien on the item until the sale price is eventually paid to the bank. The bank therefore sold something that it never actually owned – and that is Haram! In actual fact the ‘sale’, also, was entirely fictitious. What the bank actually did was to ‘lend’ a specific sum of money on interest over a specific period of time and to then denominate the ‘loan’ in the amount of a final total that included the total interest payments as money due on a ‘sale’.

It is when the client defaults on payment of installments of money due to the bank that one is treated to ridiculous and utterly scandalous financial gymnastics. Consider the following: a client entered into a so-called murabaha transaction with an unnamed Islamic Bank to purchase a house with a market price of $500,000. The bank wrote out the check to him for $500,000. with which he then purchased the house in his name. He thus became legal owner of the house. The bank then transacted with him a fictitious sale agreement to sell to him on credit a house that the bank never owned (and hence could not sell) for a total of $1 million. The difference between the credit and cash prices was thus $500,000.

One month after entering into the agreement the client defaulted on his payments. The bank then repossessed the house and sold it on the open market for $500,000. But the bank went on to sue the client for an outstanding balance of almost $500,000. The court, however, dismissed the claim and ruled that the bank was entitled to nothing more than the interest payment for the actual duration of the contract (i.e., the amount of time it took the bank to recover its $500,000.)

We have a stern warning to deliver to those scholars of Islam who persist in defending the so-called murabaha transactions of Islamic Banks today. They defend the transaction with Fatwas (fatawa) that are as invalid as the Fatwas (fatawa) which today blindly declare paper money of the modern world to be Halal, and would equally blindly declare tomorrow’s ‘electronic money’ to be Halal. If they obstinately persist in their defense of today’s so-called Murabaha transactions, and then learn in Allah’s court that it was not Murabaha but Riba, at that time they cannot plead for mercy from Allah for they will have misguided people, nor can they say “I did not know”.

Hedging with the Gold Dinar by Dr. Ahamed Rameel Mydin Meera.

The 1997 East Asian currency crisis made apparent how vulnerable currencies can be. The speculative attacks on the Ringgit, for example, would have devastated the economy if not for the quick and bold counteractions taken by the government, particularly in checking the offshore Ringgit transactions. The need for firms to manage their foreign exchange risk also become apparent.

Many individuals, firms and business found themselves helpless in the wake of drastic exchange rate movements. Malaysia’s being among the most open economies in the world in terms of International trade reflects the degree of its exposures to foreign exchange risk. The economist magazine’s Pocket World In Figures (2002 edition) ranks Malaysia the second most trade dependent country in the world. Trade as a percentage of gross domestic product is 92 percent for Malaysia, even higher than for Singapore, which ranks third with a figure of 78.8 percent.

Today, exchange rate risk is a marked phenomenon in the floating exchange rate regime. Many international investment, trade and finance dealings are shelved due to the unwillingness of parties concerned to bear the foreign exchange risk so that they may concentrate on what they are good at and eliminate or minimize a risk that not their trade.

Elsewhere, traditionally, currency derivatives-forward, futures and options contracts-have been used for this purpose. However, in many nations including Malaysia, futures and options on currencies are not available. The Malaysian Derivatives Exchange (MDEX) makes available a number of derivatives instruments - Kuala Lumpur Composite Index Futures, Index Options, Crude Palm Oil Futures and Kuala Lumpur Inter-Bank Offered Rate Futures — but not Ringgit futures or options.

Even in countries where currency derivative markets exist, not all derivatives on all currencies are traded. At the Philadelphia Stock Exchange in US for example, derivatives are available only on selected major world currencies like the Yen, Sterling and Australian Dollar - against the US dollar, mostly. For most other currencies of the world, including those of almost all developing nations, there are no formal tools for hedging the foreign exchange risk that has become immensely significant in today’s global business environment.

Recently Dr. Mahathir Mohamad mooted the idea of a gold payment system - the gold dinar - to settle bilateral and multilateral trades among countries and thereby eliminate foreign exchange risk. In this mode, gold is to be used as a medium of exchange and as a unit of account instead of the national currencies. Prices of export and imports are to be quoted in units of gold weights. It is important in this structure that gold itself and not national currencies backed by gold, is used for pricing, for otherwise it would not then be different from the gold standard in the past. Instruments backed by gold are vulnerable to easy abuse -which is what brought on the failure of the gold standard. In the gold dinar system, the central bank would play a important role of keeping national trade accounts and providing a secure place to keep gold. When Malaysia trades with Indonesia, for example, the gold accounting is kept through the medium of the central banks of both countries and only the net difference between the two is settled periodically. Nevertheless, every transaction in essence involves gold “movement”.

Since bilateral and multilateral trades are ongoing processes, any gold that needs to be settled can always be brought forward and used for future transaction s and settlements. On the ground, commercial banks that support gold accounts are viable partners in the implementation of the gold dinar system.

International trade and finance participants would deal with the commercial banks that provide such gold account. These commercial banks would in turn have gold accounts with their respective central banks. The above structure may sound a lot like the gold standard, but it is not. Gold and not gold backed instruments, is the medium here.

As an example, consider that Malaysia 100 bullion gold worth of good and service to Indonesia. While importing 80 bullion worth. Hence, Malaysia has a surplus trade of 20 bullion. Indonesia needs to settle only this difference of 20 bullion. However, this amount could be used for settling future trade imbalances between the countries is not necessary. Note that this simple structure eliminates exchange rate risk. This means there is no need for forward, futures or options trades on the currencies. All countries, including those without such derivatives markets, can enjoy this benefit. After all, developing a derivatives market is costly and time consuming. It also introduces in efficiency to the market since additional transaction costs need to be incurred.

Unlike the forward, futures or options markets, the gold dinar does not depend on speculators for increased liquidity. By being a global currency, it is capable of providing the need liquidity without bestowing any “unfair” seignorage on any particular currency. Also, unlike imperfections of hedging that are likely to happen with forward contracts, futures and options due to the standardized nature of these contracts, the gold dinar does not introduce such imperfections.

With the gold dinar, the hedging cost is fixed against gold, but note that even when hedging is done in any currency denomination, there is still risk in the fluctuation of that currency. Gold is superior here because it has intrinsic value. A hedger also pays neither the initial margin nor daily variation margins, as is the case with currency futures. Such margins are potential cash flow burdens on hedgers. Even though the International gold price may fluctuate, the participants in a gold dinar system realize that unlike national currencies, gold has a stable intrinsic value that can be depended upon for continuous trade into the future. Even though with the existence of national currencies speculation and arbitrage on the price of gold could tempt a participating country to redeem of sell its gold, it should resist such temptations for the sake of stable and continuous future trades.

A regulation requiring that the gold stock with the central banks be used only for settling real transactions may be necessary. At this juncture, one may be ask the question: How does this structure differ from a simple barter trade between countries?. The advantage is that gold acts as a unit of account and thereby eliminates problems associated with barter.

The gold dinar would also reduce speculation and arbitrage between national currencies. For example, if three countries agree to use the gold payment system, then it is akin to the three currencies. Becoming a single currency. Accordingly, speculation and arbitrage among these three currencies will be reduced or even eliminated. This “unification” of the three currencies through the gold dinar provides diversification benefits.

It is like obtaining diversification through a portfolio of shares. Individual currencies face risks that are unique to the issuer country. For example, political turmoil can cause a national currency to depreciate, but in unified currency such risks would be reduced. In fact, since people of all races, creeds and nationalities treasure gold, it is suitable global currencies that enjoy global acceptance.

This means no single country’s unique risk may be significantly embedded in gold. However, the gold dinar system entail legal obligations between the parties concerned, just like the forward and futures contracts and it may not be easy for a trader to remove this obligation easily as is possible with futures.

In my opinion, the gold dinar if implemented is similar to the forward contract but with its problems of “barter”, speculative and arbitrage elements removed; and are also a superior tool for managing foreign exchange risk compared to the futures and option contracts.

The gold dinar is likely to reduce transaction cost too, since only accounting record need to be kept. Transactions can be executed by means of electronic media with minimal cost. Hence, for international trades in this system, one no longer needs to open a letter of credit with a bank, incur exchange rate transaction costs (that is, the differrent buying and selling rates for currencies) or even face exchange rate risk.

The gold dinar system also reduces the need to create large amounts of national currencies through multiple deposit creation in the banking sector. This therefore reduces the possibility of excessive speculation and future attacks on the Ringgit like the one in 1997. The banking sector can compensate for this “implied” loss by viewing the gold dinar system as an opportunity and thereby providing the necessary services in collaboration with the central bank.

The current global financial system is showing signs of instability, which in my opinion is partly but significantly due to the fiat nature of money. The problem lies with its attribute that is created and destroyed in the financial system. Such instability is currently observable in the US. The financial distress depicted by a number of huge firms lately is bound to destroy a large sum of fiat money that in turn can be expected to bring about a banking crisis just like that experienced in Malaysia 1997-98.

Gold, on the other hand, has all the characteristics of a good currency; it is desired and highly valued for its own sake, homogenous, stable, durable, divisible and mobile; and can neither be created nor destroyed. It can thus play the role of a stable international unit of account that is profoundly missing in the current floating exchange rate system since the demise of the Bretton Woods in 1971.

Perhaps we can take our cue from Nobel laureate Robert Mundell, who predicted that gold would again be part of the international monetary system in the 21st centurys.

My comment:

Actually, Prophet Muhammad has prophesied first the return of the the use of precious metals which have intrinsic value in them. And this is also a sign that the fraudulent system of fiat money and the International Monetary System nowadays which is controlled by a group of bloodsucking predatory Elite will collapse:

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say: “A time is certainly coming over mankind in which there will be nothing [left] which will be of use save a dinar and a dirham.” (The Musnad of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal)

The banker ( A Conventional or an ‘Islamic’ banker) who offered loan based on Riba’ to the mass people by using their sweet smile and words are no different than a pimp that live off the sweat of others to ‘pimp’ their lifestyle, to ‘pimp’ his ride (the show Pimp My Ride), to buy luxurious home to live happily and ‘virtuously’ by offering their five time prayers in congregation with his wif(v)e(s) and children in air conditioning room with praying mattresses worth RM100 a piece from Turkey and make a du’a after prayer and thank God with the ‘bountiful’ life and ‘rezki’ that are given by God most high to him; and after Maghrib he teaches Muqaddam to his children comfortably in air conditioning room ‘virtuously’ while his ‘obedient’ wife is preparing the dinner for them and serving it on a dinner table that worth RM5000 from Italy while the mass people out there are working like jackasses to let them live an affluent life. The only fault of the mass people are borrowing money from this ‘virtous’ banker.

Allah said in the Holy Qur’an:
“…man is entitled to nothing except that for which he labored. (Qur’an, al-Najm, 53:39).

Diametrically opposed from this verse, the bankers are entitled a bountiful of wealth from the sweat of others.

The use of paper money (fiat money, funny money - a legal tender or decree by government) which value decreases time and again is a pretext of total slavery upon the mass people. Money then become the god almighty where people have to ‘submit’ to this new ‘god’ and have to work like jackasses to buy bread and rice while this blood-sucking predatory Elite is eating halwa in his ‘five star’ house with his children and ‘obedient’ wife while planning the next family vacation in Disneyland. This is what was prophesied by Prophet Muhammad s.a.w., “Nearly poor life(destitution) led to kufr.”

Allah said in the Qur’an time and again: …do not deprive people of what is rightfully theirs by diminishing the value of their things (al-‘Araf. 7:85; Hud, 11:85; al-Shu’ara’, 26:183; etc). The use of paper money that keeps losing its value is a manifest example related to this verse.

Truely, this is the time of the Ummah of Muhammad of nowadays to wake up from their deep sleep and analyze themselves whether they are already entering the lizard hole.

Prophet Muhamad s.a.w. said: Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: Allah’s Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians (by your words)” those before you”? He said: Who else?” (Sahih Muslim).

Saya sebenarnya tidak pasti sama ada mahu menulis tentang ini atau tidak. Tetapi rasanya tidak salah saya menulis sekadar untuk satu peringatan untuk saya dan kita semua. Saya rasa semua orang tahu tentang wabak penyakit yang melanda Malaysia dan dunia. Menurut laman web Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, setakat 6 Ogos 2009, jumlah kematian sudah mencapai 14 orang. Dan berdasarkan sumber Bernama, ini termasuk 3 orang kanak-kanak.

Tidak perlu rasanya saya mengucapkan sedih tentang kematian kanak-kanak yang tidak berdosa ini, kerana Insya Allah Allah akan memasukkan mereka ke dalam syurga dan mereka juga mengharapkan ibu bapa mereka juga akan bersama mereka di syurga nanti. Kepada saudara SeIslam saya yang kehilangan anak, ayah ibu, saudara mara kerana wabak penyakit ini, saya cuma boleh memberikan anda hadith ini yang Insya Allah bakal mengubat hati yang luka:

Abu Hurairah r.a. telah meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. telah bersabda:

Kematian kerana wabak penyakit adalah syahid bagi seorang Muslim.” (Hadith Riwayat Bukhari dalam Bab Perubatan).

Apakah kita umat Islam dapat lakukan ketika wabak ini merebak? Sebagaimana sabda Rasulullah, kita umat Islam bersaudara, kita seperti batu-bata yang melengkapi satu dinding. Saya tidak menafikan bahawa kita harus berdoa kepada Allah agar menjauhkan diri kita, ibu bapa, isteri kita dan anak-anak kita daripada wabak penyakit ini. Lebih daripada itu kita harus mengambil pelajaran daripada hadith ini:

Diriwayatkan oleh Aisha: “Saya bertanya Rasulullah tentang wabak penyakit. Beliau memberitahu saya bahawa ia merupakan hukuman daripada Allah ke atas siapa yang dikehendakinya dan Allah menjadikannya sebagai sumber rahmat kepada orang-orang Muslim di mana jika di kala mana seorang berada di waktu ketika tersebarnya wabak penyakit dan dia tinggal tidak meninggalkan tanahairnya mengharapkan balasan kebaikan daripada Allah dan percaya bahawa tidak akan apa yang berlaku ke atasnya melainkan apa yang telah disuratkan oleh Allah ke atasnya, dia akan menerima balasan kebaikan sebagai seorang syahid.” (Hadith Riwayat Bukhari di dalam Bab Kebaikan dan Kemuliaan Nabi (s.a.w.) dan para Sahabatnya.)”

Kita seharusnya memperbanyakkan memohon keampunan Allah dan bertaubat kepadanya. Saya menggalakkan anda membaca Risalah al-Qusyairi dalam Bab Taubat untuk mengetahui apakah maksud taubat yang ingin saya sampaikan. Cuba kita ambil pengajaran dan amalkan doa Nabi Yunus ketika berada dalam perut ikan Nun:

“Tidak ada Tuhan selain Engkau. Maha Suci Engkau, sesungguhnya aku adalah termasuk orang-orang yang zalim.” (Al-Anbiya’, 21: 87). Anda boleh baca apakah yang menyebabkan Nabi Yunus ditimpa cubaan sebegitu. Dalam ayat seterusnya, Allah memperkenankan doanya dan menyelamatkannya dari kedukaan.

Dan dalam keadaan seperti sekarang ini, tidak salah rasanya saya menggesa saya dan anda semua agar dapat mengambil pelajaran daripada Surah al-Dukhan. Maksud saya mengambil pelajaran daripadanya; bukan kepada siapa azab itu ditujukan tetapi apakah yang menyebabkan turunnya azab itu.

Dan sudah sampai masanya kita mengkaji wahyu terakhir yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Kita tidak sepatutnya tidur ketika Allah dan Rasulnya mengisytiharkan perang terhadap kita. Kita sama-sama bertanggung jawab dengan apa yang menimpa umat Islam dan umat manusia.

Aku kehairanan lalu berkata: “Siapakah gerangan mereka itu.”

Prof. Mat Demon membalas: “Salah satunya engkaulah, parasit.”

Aku berasa sangat marah, lalu berkata: “Engkau ini tidak ada adab dalam menyampaikan ilmu, lebih daripada itu kau tidak beradab di depan Allah, patutlah Allah menghalau engkau daripada syurga.”

Prof. Mat Demon berkata: “Memang aku tidak beradab, tapi apa yang aku katakan ini benar. Kamu orang Islam ada telinga, ada akal, ada hati, tapi kamu tidak menggunakannya untuk memahami tipu daya musuhmu di sekeliling kamu. Kamu semua diuji oleh Allah, tapi kamu telah gagal dalam ujian ini. Ini kerana kau telah tertipu dengan duniawi. Kamu mengharapkan belas kasihan dan keampunan daripada Allah agar menghilangkan bala dan fitnah yang menimpa kamu semua, tetapi Allah sekarang amat marah dengan umat Muhammad ini, bahkan Allah dan Rasulnya sekarang mengisytiharkan perang terhadap kamu semua. Cuba kamu baca Surah al-Dukhan dan ambil pengajaran daripadanya.

Aku berkata: “Baiklah. Tapi saya hairan, kenapa Prof. beritahu semua ini, bukankah tugas Prof….

Prof. Mat Demon memotong: “Itu memang tugas aku. Dan aku memang menjalankan tugas itu ke atas kamu sekarang. Tapi cuma kamu tidak faham.”

Aku kebingungan, aku mahu bertanya lagi. Tapi Prof. lantas berkata: “Ah, sudahlah, malas aku nak layan kau lagi, aku ada tugas lain sekarang. Lain kali sahaja kita sambung diskusi ilmiah ini. Ha, kalau kau nak masukkan diskusi ini dalam blog kau, masukkan bawah kategori Educational”

Kejuruteraan Bendalir. Itulah slogan yang digunakan oleh pembuat minyak pelincir terkemuka, Castrol. Saya tidak berpeluang lagi untuk mencuba minyak pelincir Castrol. Saya pernah mencuba minyak pelincir Shell dan kemudian bertukar kepada minyak pelincir Eneos daripada Nippon Oil kerana menurut kajian amatur saya tentang minyak pelincir dan nasihat mekanik saya, minyak pelincir Eneos amat sesuai untuk enjin keluaran Mitsubishi dan lain-lain enjin buatan Jepun. Semasa saya mengambil kursus Automotive dulu pun, instruktur saya juga menyatakan bahawa minyak pelincir Eneos berkualiti baik. Tetapi ini bukan isu utama yang ingin saya ketengahkan.

Kejuruteraan Genetik. Pada 5 Julai , 1996, Dolly, seekor kambing biri-biri klon telah dilahirkan. Kelahiran Dolly telah menyebabkan isu pengklonan khasnya pengklonan manusia menjadi isu hangat dibincangkan di arena antarabangsa. Dolly memang seekor kambing biri-biri yang cantik dan sudah semestinya beliau amat amanah dalam menunaikan tanggung jawabnya. Tetapi ini juga bukan isu utama yang ingin saya ketengahkan.

Kejuruteraan Pemikiran ‘Akrobatik’ dan ‘Gimnastik’. Tidaklah di sini saya ingin nyatakan bahawa kaedah pemikiran ini ‘Haram’, ‘Makruh Tanzihi’ atau ‘Makruh Tahrimi’ tambahan pula saya tidak layak untuk melakukan ijtihad. Isunya ialah manipulasi Pemikiran ‘Akrobatik’ dan ‘Gimnastik’. Saya akan bawakan contoh manipulasi kaedah pemikiran ini dalam agama Judaisme dan bagaimana perkembangan Kejuruteraan Pemikiran Akrobatik dan Gimnastik menjadi semakin ‘sophisticated’ sehingga saya dan ramai manusia yang terpesona, terkesima, teruja, dan terdecep.
Saya akan membawa beberapa ayat yang terdapat di dalam Kitab Perjanjian Lama yang menyentuh tentang riba:

If any of your own people become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that your poor neighbors may continue to live among you. You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit. (Leveticus: 25:35-37).

If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest. (Exodus: 22:25).

Pemanipulasian Pemikiran Akrobatik oleh Rabbi dan ‘Ulama’ Yahudi ketika itu telah menyebabkan mereka menukar ayat-ayat Tuhan dan memasukkan perkataan mereka untuk mendapat untung yang sedikit daripada dunia. Rabbi mereka menokok tambah ayat yang meng‘halal’kan mengenakan riba’ kepada kaum bukan Yahudi. Akan tetapi, kaedah pemikiran Akrobatik mereka tidaklah terlalu ‘sophisticated’ kerana mereka menokok tambah ayat-ayat Allah. Dan ini sudahlah tentu menyebabkan mereka terang-terangan dilaknat Allah.

Do not charge an Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest. You may charge a foreigner interest, but not another Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess. (Deuteronomy: 23:19-20).

Allah telah berfirman di dalam al-Qur’an:

Lalu orang-orang yang zalim mengganti perintah dengan (mengerjakan) yang tidak diperintahkan kepada mereka. Sebab itu Kami timpakan atas orang-orang yang zalim itu dari langit, karena mereka berbuat fasiq. (Al-Baqarah, 2: 59).

Maka kecelakaan yang besarlah bagi orang-orang yang menulis Al-Kitab dengan tangan mereka sendiri, lalu dikatakannya; “Ini dari Allah”, (dengan maksud) untuk memperoleh keuntungan yang sedikit dengan perbuatan itu. Maka kecelakaan yang besarlah bagi mereka, akibat apa yang ditulis oleh tangan mereka sendiri, dan kecelakaan yang besarlah bagi mereka, akibat apa yang mereka kerjakan. (Al-Baqarah, 2: 79).

Dalam satu riwayat dinyatakan bahawa ayat ini turun tentang ahli kitab yang memalsukan taurat. (Diriwayatkan oleh al-Nasa’i yang bersumber dari Ibn Abbas.).

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang menyembunyikan apa yang telah diturunkan Allah, iaitu Al-Kitab dan menjualnya dengan harga yang sedikit (murah), mereka itu sebenarnya tidak memakan (tidak menelan) ke dalam perutnya melainkan api, dan Allah tidak akan berbicara kepada mereka pada hari kiamat dan tidak mensucikan mereka dan bagi mereka siksa yang amat pedih. (Al-Baqarah, 2: 174).

Dalam suatu riwayat dikemukakan bahawa firman Allah tersebut di atas diturunkan tentang (kebiasaan) kaum Yahudi (yang menyimpang dari ajaran yang sebenarnya). (Diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Jarir yang bersumber dari ‘Ikrimah.)

Akan tetapi, berdasarkan sabda Nabi Muhammad s.a.w., pemikiran Akrobatik dalam agama menjadi semakin ‘sophisticated’ di akhir zaman. Oleh kerana Al-Qur’an dipelihara oleh Allah daripada sebarang perubahan daripada tangan-tangan manusia, maka satu kaedah pemikiran Akrobatik yang lebih ‘sophisticated’ perlu dilakukan untuk satu projek ‘Mass Deception.’

Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: “Manusia akan sampai ke suatu zaman yang mana orang menghalalkan riba’ dengan dengan nama jual beli”. (Hadith Riwayat Ibn Qayyim).

Rasululah bersabda lagi: “Akan sampai masanya bagi manusia yang mana tidak seorang pun daripada mereka yang tidak ikut memakan riba’. Kalau ada yang tidak ikut memakannya secara langsung, dia akan terkena debunya.” (Hadith Riwayat Ibn Majah).

Dalam bahasa moden, mereka yang menyamakan riba dan jual beli di akhirat kelak keadaan mereka adalah seperti mereka yang menghidap penyakit Psychotic dan kecelaruan fikiran yang melampau. Allah berfirman:

Orang-orang yang makan (mengambil) riba tidak dapat berdiri melainkan seperti berdirinya orang yang kemasukan syaitan lantaran (tekanan) penyakit gila. Keadaan mereka yang demikian itu, adalah disebabkan mereka berkata (berpendapat), sesungguhnya jual beli itu sama dengan riba, padahal Allah telah menghalalkan jual beli dan mengharamkan riba. Orang-orang yang telah sampai kepadanya larangan dari Tuhannya, lalu terus berhenti (dari mengambil riba), maka baginya apa yang telah diambilnya dahulu (sebelum datang larangan); dan urusannya (terserah) kepada Allah. Orang yang kembali (mengambil riba), maka orang itu adalah penghuni-penghuni neraka; mereka kekal di dalamnya. (Al-Baqarah, 2: 275)

Menurut Prof. Dato’ Dr. al-Ustaz Mat Demon al-Azazil kepada saya, isu manipulasi pemikiran Akrobatik dan Gimnastik dalam agama melangkaui isu Traditionalisme atau Liberalisme dalam agama malahan ia adalah satu fenomena Mass Deceptionalism dalam agama. Beliau berkata lagi, jika mereka yang ber‘mata’ terang seperti Imam al-Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, Mansur al-Hallaj, Ibrahim Adham, Dhun Nun al-Misri, Abu Yazid al-Bistami dan lain-lain masih hidup, mereka inilah yang akan menjadi barisan utama yang menentang Mass Deceptionalism ini dengan bersungguh-sungguh melalui puisi mereka, tulisan mereka, dan nyawa mereka sendiri. Prof Mat Demon telah menjadi guru saya sejak saya kecil. Beliau dulu seorang ‘alim di sebuah Institusi yang Tinggi tetapi telah dilucutkan jawatannya oleh Yang Berkuasa kerana ketakburannya.

Saya menjangkakan selepas ini lebih banyak istilah-istilah ‘teknikal’ perlu digunakan untuk meluaskan lagi Mass Deception Project ini. Mungkin istilah-istilah tersebut lebih sukar untuk disebut oleh orang awam seperti saya; mungkin lebih sukar daripada menyebut dan mengeja nama Arnold Schwarzenegger (atau menurut Pak Cik Din dalam majalah Ujang; Arnold Susah Nak Eja)

They can turn into military vehicles, construction vehicles and even smaller-than-human-sized objects, like Frenzy, who is in Barracade’s chest. Most Decepticons think very little of humans and consider them no better than pests or “insects”. This is strongly emphasized in the 2007 film Transformers, when Megatron is seen flicking a human like a bug and saying “disgusting”. Another example is when the Decepticon Frenzy complained about how the “stupid insects” tried to shoot him. In the animated series, Starscream works with the human, Doctor Arkeville and comments about how little he cares about destroying the entire planet Earth in order to achieve his goal.

Saya pasti Prof. Mat Demon juga berminat untuk menonton filem ini bersama saya dan saya juga pasti beliau amat berminat dengan watak Decepticon.

Selagi mana anda mendekatkan diri anda kepada sesuatu yang selain daripada Allah, anda sentiasa akan berada dalam kesusahan dan kesedihan, menyekutukan sesuatu terhadapNya, dan tidak mampu untuk bebas daripada beban dosa anda. (Abdul Qadir al-Jilani)

Kemerdekaan hati boleh dicapai melalui empat jalan mulia: merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah semata-mata, memerlukan Allah semata-mata, takut dan menghormati Allah semata-mata, dan mengharap akan Allah semata-mata. (Said al-Hiri)

Jadilah seperti mereka yang takut dan mentaati Allah. Syirik itu boleh dibahagikan kepada dalaman dan luaran. Syirik luaran adalah menyembah berhala, manakala syirik dalaman adalah meninggalkan Allah dan berharap kepada manusia, meletakkan pengharapan kepada mereka, dan mengharapkan kerugian dan keuntungan daripada mereka. (Abdul Qadir al-Jilani)

Barang siapa yang menyerahkan hatinya kepada Allah semata-mata dan memberikan sepenuh perhatian terhadap perkara ini, pancaran cahaya hikmah akan terbit dalam hatinya dan mengalir ke lidahnya. (Yahya Ibn Muadh)

Bagaimana pandangan mata orang ramai mempunyai apa-apa kepentingan kepada anda apabila pandangan Allah adalah kepada anda? Tinggalkan jalan orang ramai dan cubalah untuk melihat sesuatu daripada Tuhan. (Ibn ‘Ata’ Illah al-Iskandari)

Allah memberi anda dunia ini agar dengannya anda dapat memperolehi Akhirat bukan untuk anda menginginkan dunia. (Uthman r.a.)

Kemerdekaan yang sebenar adalah penghambaan diri kepada Tuhan (Ali r.a.)

Penghambaan diri adalah kepada Tuhan semata-mata, bukan kepada diri anda, kebaikan anda, kejahatan anda, dan manusia. (Nasihat Prof. Emeritus al-Ustaz Dato’ Dr. Mat Demon al-Azazil MA. PhD in Decep. kepada saya.)

Because 1964 threatens to be a very explosive year on the racial front, and because I myself intend to be very active in every phase of the American Negro struggle for human rights, I have called this press conference, this morning in order to clarify my own position in the struggle; especially in regards to politics and nonviolence.

In the past I thought the thoughts, spoke the words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that day is over. From now on I speak my own words, and think my own thoughts. Internal differences within the Nation of Islam forced me out of it. I did not leave of my own free will. But now that it has happened, I intend to make the most of it. Now that I have more independence of action, I intend to use a more flexible approach toward working with others to get a solution to this problem. I do not pretend to be a divine man, but I do believe in divine guidance, divine power, and in the fulfillment of divine prophecy.

I am not educated, nor am I an expert in any particular field, but I am sincere, and my sincerity is my credentials. I’m not out to fight other Negro leaders or organizations. We must find a common solution, to a common problem. I am going to organize and head a new mosque in New York City, known as the Muslim Mosque, Inc. This gives us a religious base, and the spiritual force necessary to rid our people of the vices that destroy the moral fiber of our community. Our political philosophy will be black nationalism. Our economic and social philosophy will be black nationalism. The Muslim Mosque, Inc. will remain wide open for ideas and financial aid from all quarters. Whites can help us, but they can’t join us. There can be no black-white unity until there is first some black unity. We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves. We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves. ……

Our fight is known and respected worldwide. Incidentally, there’s a little white man who follows me wherever I go. I wonder who he’s working for? If I was a betting man, I’d say CIA. What’s your guess?….

Today, with thousands of others, I proclaimed God’s greatness in the Holy City of Mecca. Wearing the Ihram garb I made my seven circuits around the Kaaba; I drank from the well of Zem Zem; I prayed to Allah from Mount Arafat where the Ark landed. It was the only time in my life that I stood before the Creator of all and felt like a complete human being.

You may be shocked by these words, but I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass and prayed to the same God with fellow Muslims whose eyes were blue, whose hair was blond and whose skin was the whitest of whites. And we are brothers, truly; people of all colors and races believing in One God and one humanity. Once before, in prison, the truth came and blinded me. It has happened again…

In the past, I have permitted myself to be used to make sweeping indictments of all white people, and these generalizations have caused injuries to some white folks who did not deserve them. Because of the spiritual rebirth which I was blessed to undergo as a result of my pilgrimage to the Holy City of Mecca, I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of one race. I intend to be careful not to sentence anyone who has not been proven guilty. I’m not a racist and do not subscribe to any of the tenets of racism. In all honesty and sincerity it can be stated that I wish nothing but freedom, justice and equality: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all people.


One of the unique characteristics of the authentic jama’ah is the fact that it would draw its major contemporary inspiration from the likes of Iqbal and Malcolm X. It is true, of course, that neither Iqbal nor Malcolm X was not an ‘alim (religious scholar) in the traditional sense of the term since neither was subjected to the intellectual training of rigid, traditional, conventional, Islamic scholarship (i.e., the Dar al-‘Uloom). But this was precisely the reason why they were able to succeed where so many others failed.

Malcolm’s unique achievement was the matchless integrity, courage, and intuitive insight with which he turned to Islam to challenge the godless oppressive White World Order.
