I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate HarakahDaily. I have noticed that their past few posted articles have shown slight improvements in their deliverances. In the past, HarakahDaily focused too much on texts alone to deliver their points to our Malaysian public but lately they have improved it some what by including juicy photos or pictures along with their stories.
That’s more like it, HarakahDaily! Please do not rely solely upon texts alone to deliver your messages. Use whatever available resources that you may have in your disposal to deliver good knockout punches to your political or non-political rivals. Please do like what MalaysiaKini has done in the last few years. MalaysiaKini included anything they can get their hands into in their stories. Their readers are extremely happy and very much satisfied with the quality and completeness of MalaysiaKini’s stories. Please follow their excellent examples, HarakahDaily.
HarakahDaily, take a look at one of your posts titled ‘Mari kenali foto budaya pemimpin Umno’ for an example. Do you folks realize how many people had read that story of yours?
As of time of writing, more than 17,469 readers had read it! It is being read more than your other purely text posts. It is because you had included along with your post some juicy photos and pictures. This is what readers want to see. Such photos and pictures can even make people see things better for there are just too many Malaysians today that are blinded from the truth thinking that everything is rosy, ‘cemerlang’, ‘gemilang’ and ‘terbilang’ about you-know-who. Apart from photos and pictures, you folks over at HarakahDaily should include some videos too in your future posts. I know you folks have TvPAS but please do not expect people to surf from your HarakahDaily site to another to view videos. Many would not do that in reality. Please include all of them in a single post where possible. :-)
I know that some Muslims may wince and strongly condemn such action taken by fellow Muslims like what HarakahDaily has done in their ‘Mari kenali foto budaya pemimpin Umno’ post. They would say that such action is not taught in Islam and so forth. Yes, it is true that we are not taught to do such things but look into it more closely. We are told not to do such things against good Muslims. Did you get that? Good Muslims! We simply have too many bad Muslims nowadays and they are using Islam as nothing but a tool to gain their political mileages and worldly benefits. Such bad Muslims are nothing but hypocrites and we should strive hard against them.
Let me leave you readers with the following Fatwa issued by IslamWeb Dot Net on the 13th of July 2004 on the subject of Jihad. The Fatwa said, quote:
“Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
As regards jihad, it is to do one's best to make the Word of Allah, The Most High, prevail, whether by hand, with money or with the tongue. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "Fight against the polytheists with your money, hands and tongue." (Reported by Al-Nasa'i, with an authentic chain of narrations.)
Jihad with hand is fighting against the polytheists and the people of the book and others, to make the Word of Allah prevail.
Allah says: " And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zâlimûn (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.) (Al-Baqarah 2:193)
Allah further says: " O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allâh is with those who are the Al-Muttaqûn (the pious)." (At-Tawbah 9:123)
Jihad with money is spending money in the path of Allah. Allah says: "March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor), strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allah. This is better for you, if you but knew." (At-Tawbah 9:41)
As regards jihad with the tongue, it is by establishing the evidence against them and eradicating their misconceptions. Allah says: "So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them (by preaching) with the utmost endeavor, with it (the Qur'an).” (Al-Furqan 25:52)
Allah also says: "O Prophet (Muhammad - SAW)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, - and worst indeed is that destination.” (At-Tawbah 9:73)
Ibn Abbas said when interpreting the above verse, "He was ordered to fight against the Kuffar (non-Muslims) with the sword, against the hypocrites with the tongue, i.e. reprimanding them and being harsh to them."
Qatada said: "Fight the Kuffar with the sword, and be harsh in talking with hypocrites."
You have to know brother, that jihad in Islam is of great importance. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "The highest level of Islam is jihad in the path of Allah." (Reported by Ahmed and Abu Dawud.)
The Muslim nation became weak and injustice and mischief in the land became widespread when Muslims left their religion and abandoned jihad against their enemy. Allah says: " Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people,” (At-Tawbah 9:14)
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: " When you enter into the 'Inah transaction (kind of forbidden transaction), hold the tails of cows (and oxen), become pleased with agriculture (i.e. being engaged with worldly matters), and give up conducting Jihad, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your religion faithfully." Narrated from Ibn Omar and reported by Abu Dawud and others.”
May that Fatwa put to rest any questions and doubts on the action that we are forced to undertake in order to seek justice here in Malaysia.
'Abdullah bin 'Amr, may Allah be pleased with them, narrated:
The Prophet observed: Four characteristics make anyone, who possesses them, a sheer hypocrite; anyone who possesses one of them possesses a characteristic of hypocrisy till he abandons it: when he talks he lies, when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously, when he gives a promise he breaks it, and when he quarrels he deviates from the truth.
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 88
