ALLAH Protects NABI MUHAMMAD SAW from EVIL MALIGNERS!

Today in our millennium, the CHARACTER ASSASSINS FAILED just as during The Prophet's (SAW) time they FAILED to either IMPRISON or ASSASSINATE the Seal of the Prophets SAW ♥ ♥ TRULY, as they plot, ALLAH plots, and ALLAH is the BEST of PLOTTERS ♥

 

IBANG: My Grandmother

She was a Muslim woman who was literate in Arabic.
She has the knack for the 3-Rs of Arabic as in Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic.

One time, when Ernie Garilao and AIM colleagues talked about relatively contentious literacy rate in ARMM- I rebutted what "literacy rate" are they talking about? English?

Well, most Muslim Filipinos are generally equipped with functional and even more than that of Arabic literacy. Oh, yes! This includes my Apuh Ibang. She maintained an accounting book in Arabic. She was a "taraysikul" operator, you know. The number of kith and kine that she significantly helped financially in the form of dole-outs, educational sponsorships, sadaqah and zakat is quite impressive.

Ibang was innately a philanthropist.
Self-made woman. Never did she lose her wit till the end. :D

Alhamdulillaahil ladhi binihmatihi tatimmus saalihat
Allah SWT heard our prayers. :) Allaahu Akbar!



Ms Jessica Soho thru GMA NEWS State of the Nation Rectified Misconception About Hijaab Being "TRADITION" but it is obligatory and part of ...

ibadah.

Baarakallaahu Fiyk and jazaakallaahu khayr for prompt notice, Utuh Alnajib.

Thanks to JS, MS ZAfra and Lian of GMA News. I was RIGHT when I wrote a newfound friend that GMA 7 could NOT be that vindictive, subjective to bandwagon innocent others just because a “small slice of the Muslim Filipino society” chose to express their ire proactively by invoking responsible journalism and giving them feedback. :)



SUBHANALLAAH! I was RIGHT when I wrote a newfound friend that GMA could NOT be that vindictive or subjective to bandwagon innocent others just because a “small slice of the Muslim Filipino society” chose to express their ire proactively by invoking responsible journalism and giving them feedback. :) It responsibly found a way to RECTIFY misconceptions on HIJAAB and to expose Islamic as well as legal bases of HIJAAB.

INDEED, We cannot compromise ISLAM just to sustain the support of MEDIA. Nahmadullaah wa nashkuruh wallaahul musta’aan.

Have faith, Muslim brethren, let us be steadfast and Allaah will answer our fervent supplications for help… let us STRIVE to be among the instruments bi idhnillaah of Allah’s help…
GMA-Jessica Soho helped us expose truths re Islamic and legal bases of HIJAAB… and I reiterate I'd rather lose everything than the HELP OF ALLAH AZZA WA JALLA :) Allaahu Akbar! ")

Allahu Akbar!!! Alhamdulillaahi Rabbil aalameen
:) Thanks to Sis Aleah Dilangalen Dipatuan and Tasneem of OPAPP. Thanks for the jihadul lihsaan of eloquent Ukhthi Wadha Mando, May Riza Ibrahim and feisty Jhums Napii-Estino, and the neo-fierce Lion of the Muslim Youth Alnajib Maujon, and the mujahidul kalam of Sulaiman Tahsin :) Baarakallaahu feekum

PRESS RELEASE

Alhamdulillaah! We, Muslims, are thankful for the Ultimate Sacred Gift of Peace from ALLAH--- ISLAM. Every second of a Muslim life must be dedicated to peace, not only on special days and special months. Allaahu Akbar!

          Muslims all come together in peace five times each day during our obligatory prayers and salatuj jumuah every Friday but of course the month of September must never be an exception. We resonate with the United Nations clarion proclaiming that the impact of PEACE to the rest of mankind is indeed immense.

          For PEACE DAY 2012 on September 21st, we join the UN commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples by starting in our local indigenous roots. Indeed, September 21 is a day that will serve as a reminder to all peoples that the Muslim Ummah, just as like UN with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace and should serve humanity as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace. We resonate with this UN call because Islam is a comprehensive peaceful way of life for its faithful believers.

          We commend the Philippine Government for Proclamation 675 declaring September as the Month of Peace Consciousness. It is timely and relevant that this year’s theme is: “Ikaw, Ako, Tayo, Magkakaiba, Nagkakaisa sa Kapayapaan” as much as we laud the UN for creating the International Day of Peace with this year’s theme: “A Sustainable Peace for a Sustainable Future”.

          In this connection, we want to join OPAPP in its national peace campaign as well as the UN in its devotion to worldwide peace. Together with the rest of mankind, we are encouraged to work and cooperate towards this UN goal.

          Nonetheless, OPAPP and the Philippine Government must be aware that as we strive to SUSTAIN and uphold peace, all stakeholders must collaborate in a concerted effort to END any acts that repudiate PEACE. INDEED, where there is suppression and injustice, there will be spiral of violence. Among such acts that repudiate sustainable peace are religious intolerance and discrimination particularly committed in some schools, universities, colleges, hospitals as well as agencies such as the NBI, DFA, and CSC particularly in  Zamboanga Peninsula and other parts of the Philippines such as Cebu and Manila which impact on the human security of Muslim Filipino women.

          Alarmingly, this violation of religious freedom gravely affects and delimits Muslims’ free access to education as much as right to means of income and livelihood. As such, it has become a Human Security as much as a Peace issue --- in the context of freedom from want and freedom from fear.

          Whereas the Philippine government and OPAPP are resilient in its continuing efforts for a just and lasting peace, the violation of these substantive rights in Zamboanga Peninsula is in effect ENDANGERING instead of ENGENDERING the PEACEFULNESS and SECURITY that according to OPAPP Secretary Deles are being felt and recognized not just by our people, but also by the international community.

          Thus, the focus of our local peace event is a series of peace rally cum symposia to PEAL The PEACE Bells for VEILS: Let Our Muslim Women Live in PEACE!

          We call for justice for the 10 Mutanaqqibat (niqaab-wearing students) who were denied Enrolment in UZ as of 1^st semester Sy 2012-13! We invoke the government to protect and fulfill their Right to Education vis a vis Right to Religious Freedom by implementing existing laws, legal memoranda and other issuances; We call for Justice for all HRV victims on hijaab and niqaab.  We call for interfaith dialogue, Human Rights Education as well as Islamic Education for Muslim Filipinos in the Philippines.

          PEAL The PEACE Bells for those in JAIL because justice is denied them! PEAL The PEACE Bells for those who mysteriously disappeared! PEAL The PEACE Bells to Sustain Freedom from Want and Freedom from FEAR! PEAL The PEACE Bells and Pray: NEVER TO MARTIAL LAW AGAIN! PEAL The PEACE Bells to STOP PROTRACTED WAR IN MINDANAO! PEAL The PEACE Bells and FEEL the INNER PEACE that FILLS each HEART regardless of creed, race, religious faiths, and gender!

          PEAL The PEACE Bells for VEILS: Let Our Muslim Women Live in PEACE!

          Together as one unified body let us SUSTAIN the MOMENTUM of our PEACE STRUGGLE! Aameen Ya Rabb!

JESSICA SOHO Segment on Hijaab: To RECTIFY OR To INTENSIFY Misconceptions About HIJAAB?

JESSICA SOHO Segment on Hijaab: To RECTIFY OR To INTENSIFY Misconceptions About HIJAAB?

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=403894446326479&set=a.403894356326488.85242.100001177816412&type=1&theater#!/sulaiman.tahsin


A great number of Muslim Filipinos who watched the “Jessica Soho’s segment dubbed NO HEADSCARF ZONE featuring Pilar College Hijab Ban ”wa...

nted to shout “this is not as it should be!” Aug. 18, 2012 (Saturday) was a day of triumph that turned out to be a day of mourning.

It is a day of triumph for the whole nation who witnessed and realized how their south countrymen are marginalized by the existing status quo, just as in choosing to wear hijab in this case, and not to be half-naked.

As the video comes to end, Muslims become pathetic and downhearted for the woman interviewed does not portray a Muslimah, which means a practicing Muslim woman according to the tenets of Islam. It is like interviewing a layman about medical science. Hijaab and Niqaab Advocacy Network (HAN) SecGen Warina Sushil A. Jukuy likens it to asking a swimmer how does she feels wearing a cosmonaut suit!

Ms Jukuy imparted that when she was asked by Jessica Soho’s assistant via phone call (after being referred by colleague PAHRA Paralegal worker Gamson Quijano, MSA-UZ Alumnus) about six hours prior to airing of the NO HEADSCARF ZONE- whether or not to include the interview of the unidentified Tawi-Tawi woman, Ms Jukuy countered: “As journalists, ask yourselves what is your intention in airing that segment: is it to engender peace journalism by enlightening people or is it to stir controversy? If you ask me, do not include that part of the Tawi-Tawi woman putting on veil and narrating an account why she “chose” (it is undoubtedly her choice and her right) not to wear her veil anymore because it is IRRELEVANT to the issue at hand.”

Ms Jukuy further counselled the caller to choose carefully primary sources of interviewees regarding hijaab and Islam as the source of the controversy in the first place is sadly about ignorance on hijaab and Islam by some non-Muslims and even Muslims alike due to lack of Islamic education; and to change the term “headscarf” because it is connotative and will foster more misconception about what hijaab is. As it is, the caller proceeded against the well-intentioned guidance of the person who that caller solicited advice from in the first place. The parapraxis contained in the segment speaks volumes!


It is indeed unfair on the part of practicing Muslims because the Tawi-Tawi woman does not represent them, a grocer -so to speak- representing medical doctors. The questions we would like to ask are: “Is there no other person that can best, if not, or better represent the practicing Muslims?” Is this circumstantial or consciously intended to destroy the building up of public sympathy about hijaab where even non-hijaab wearer can identify? At some point we ask: “What is the connection of Hijab ban policy of Pilar College, a human right violation, to the situation of a struggling Muslimah who has not come to grip sufficiently with the true essence of hijaab” yet. It is absolutely IRRELEVANT and CONTENTIOUS!

Did she unveil so she can enroll in Pilar?!? Why her? They should have interviewed an expert on Islam, a scholar that would explain Islam and its practice well in the context of religious worship vis a vis the right to freedom of religious worship. The issue on HIJAAB is a grave matter, says HAN SecGen. It is not an issue worth to be merely trifled with as ostentatious fanfare where you will direct your interviewees to pretend to either flag a jeep, to sit behind a computer seemingly tapping at work, or to require a 5-minute interview from a respectable Aleem or otherwise require him to choose a venue then field him with questions but at the end the TV production host will just choose less than a minute of that in exchange for a lengthy narrative of a lady from Tawi-Tawi who wishes to share her discomfiture about hijaab looking forward to the day of finding a husband as the day that she would don her hijaab again.

Many were appalled when Jessica Soho referred to Hijaab as a mere tradition! Ms. Jukuy pronounced that HIJAAB per se is NOT a TRADITION, it is an obligation (fardh) as much as it is worship (ibadah) and faith (eeman). And I, the writer personally end up that complying with an obligation does not reside on one’s desire but it depends solely on the one who obligates it, Allah subhanahuwataala. Still, Allaahu Akbar!, Allah in His Infinite Grace and Mercy declares as Hell and Heaven awaits His creatures--- “There is no compulsion in religion!”

With that indignation justified and clearly expressed, we STILL thank Jessica Soho for featuring the story of a Muslim parent Ms Jhumura Napii-Estino, and in part be it seconds only including Aleem Jamal S. Munib and NCMF R9a Legal Division Chief- Atty Yasser Apion who all best represent the Muslim victims’ cause. Frankly, we never would have commented if Ms Soho wants to feature people who unveil by choose be they that Tawi-Tawi lady or a Catholic nun who choose to abandon her vow and veil but with another “separate segment” entitled perhaps, “Kusang Loob Paghuhubad ng Balabal!” Well, simply because the issue on Pres Nina Balbas’ HIJAB BAN POLICY is about “maghubad ka ng balabal at kung ayaw mo huwag kang mag-aral sa PILAR!”, Jukuy segued.

So, we are appealing to the Muslim Ummah to boycott Jessica Soho GMA segment NOW! It is allegedly coming up with another, Ukhti Watha Mando, interview! May media not commit the same injurious blunder again, aameen!


Let NCMF-Pilar College “FINAL” Dialogue Begin ASAP!

Ahmadinejad's Letter to Bush: Opportunity to REDRESS a WRONG

Ahmadinejad's Letter to Bush
Tuesday, May 9, 2006; 2:54 PM

Mr. President,

Whether we like it or not, the world is gravitating towards faith in the Almighty and justice and the will of God will prevail over all things.

 
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has written President Bush an 18-page letter discussing religious values, history and international relations. Following is an unofficial translation from the original written in Farsi:
 

"Mr. George Bush, president of the United States of America
For some time now, I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena -- which are being constantly debated, especially in political forums and amongst university students. Many questions remain unanswered. Those have prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the hopes that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.

Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him), the great Messenger of God,
Feel obliged to respect human rights,
Present liberalism as a civilization model,
Announce one's opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and WMDs,
Make "War on Terror" his slogan,
And finally,
work towards the establishment of an unified international community -- a community which Christ and the virtuous of the Earth will one day govern,
But at the same time,
Have countries attacked. The lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed and on the slight chance of the presence of a few criminals in a village, city, or convoy for example, the entire village, city or convoy set ablaze.
Or because of the possibility of the existence of WMDs in one country, it is occupied, around 100,000 people killed, its water sources, agriculture and industry destroyed, close to 180,000 foreign troops put on the ground, sanctity of private homes of citizens broken, and the country pushed back perhaps 50 years. At what price? Hundreds of billions of dollars spent from the treasury of one country and certain other countries and tens of thousands of young men and women -- as occupation troops -- put in harms way, taken away from family and loved ones, their hands stained with the blood of others, subjected to so much psychological pressure that everyday some commit suicide and those returning home suffer depression, become sickly and grapple with all sorts of ailments; while some are killed and their bodies handed to their families.
On the pretext of the existence of WMDs, this great tragedy came to engulf both the peoples of the occupied and the occupying country. Later it was revealed that no WMDs existed to begin with.
Of course, Saddam was a murderous dictator. But the war was not waged to topple him, the announced goal of the war was to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction. He was toppled along the way towards another goal; nevertheless the people of the region are happy about it. I point out that throughout the many years of the imposed war on Iran Saddam was supported by the West.
Mr. President,
You might know that I am a teacher. My students ask me how can these actions be reconciled with the values outlined at the beginning of this letter and duty to the tradition of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him), the Messenger of peace and forgiveness?
There are prisoners in Guantanamo Bay that have not been tried, have no legal representation, their families cannot see them and are obviously kept in a strange land outside their own country. There is no international monitoring of their conditions and fate. No one knows whether they are prisoners, POWs, accused or criminals.
European investigators have confirmed the existence of secret prisons in Europe too. I could not correlate the abduction of a person, and him or her being kept in secret prisons, with the provisions of any judicial system. For that matter, I fail to understand how such actions correspond to the values outlined in the beginning of this letter, i.e. the teachings of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him), human rights and liberal values.
Young people, university students, and ordinary people have many questions about the phenomenon of Israel. I am sure you are familiar with some of them.
Throughout history, many countries have been occupied, but I think the establishment of a new country with a new people, is a new phenomenon that is exclusive to our times.
Students are saying that 60 years ago such a country did not exist. They show old documents and globes and say try as we have, we have not been able to find a country named Israel.
I tell them to study the history of WWI and II. One of my students told me that during WWII, which more than tens of millions of people perished in, news about the war, was quickly disseminated by the warring parties. Each touted their victories and the most recent battlefront defeat of the other party. After the war they claimed that six million Jews had been killed. Six million people that were surely related to at least two million families. Again let us assume that these events are true. Does that logically translate into the establishment of the state of Israel in the Middle East or support for such a state? How can this phenomenon be rationalized or explained?
Mr. President,
I am sure you know how -- and at what cost -- Israel was established:
-- Many thousands were killed in the process.
-- Millions of indigenous people were made refugees.
-- Hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland, olive plantations, towns and villages were destroyed.
This tragedy is not exclusive to the time of establishment; unfortunately it has been ongoing for 60 years now.
A regime has been established which does not show mercy even to kids, destroys houses while the occupants are still in them, announces beforehand its list and plans to assassinate Palestinian figures, and keeps thousands of Palestinians in prison. Such a phenomenon is unique -- or at the very least extremely rare -- in recent memory.
Another big question asked by the people is "why is this regime being supported?"
Is support for this regime in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) or Moses (Peace Be Upon Him) or liberal values?
Or are we to understand that allowing the original inhabitants of these lands -- inside and outside Palestine -- whether they are Christian, Muslim or Jew, to determine their fate, runs contrary to principles of democracy, human rights and the teachings of prophets? If not, why is there so much opposition to a referendum?
The newly elected Palestinian administration recently took office. All independent observers have confirmed that this government represents the electorate. Unbelievingly, they have put the elected government under pressure and have advised it to recognize the Israeli regime, abandon the struggle and follow the programs of the previous government.
If the current Palestinian government had run on the above platform, would the Palestinian people have voted for it? Again, can such position taken in opposition to the Palestinian government be reconciled with the values outlined earlier? The people are, also asking "why are all UNSC resolutions in condemnation of Israel vetoed?"
Mr. President,
As you are well aware, I live amongst the people and am in constant contact with them -- many people from around the Middle East manage to contact me as well. They do not have faith in there dubious policies either. There is evidence that the people of the region are becoming increasingly angry with such policies.
It is not my intention to pose too many questions, but I need to refer to other points as well.
Why is it that any technological and scientific achievement reached in the Middle East region is translated into and portrayed as a threat to the Zionist regime? Is not scientific R&D one of the basic rights of nations?
You are familiar with history. Aside from the Middle Ages, in what other point in history has scientific and technical progress been a crime? Can the possibility of scientific achievements being utilized for military purposes be reason enough to oppose science and technology altogether? If such a supposition is true, then all scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, engineering, etc, must be opposed.
Lies were told in the Iraqi matter. What was the result? I have no doubt that telling lies is reprehensible in any culture, and you do not like to be lied to.
Mr. President,
Don't Latin Americans have the right to ask why their elected government are being opposed and coup leaders supported? Or, Why must they constantly be threatened and live in fear?
The people of Africa are hard-working, creative and talented. They can play an important and valuable role in providing for the needs of humanity and contribute to its material and spiritual progress. Poverty and hardship in large parts of Africa are preventing this from happening. Don't they have the right to ask why their enormous wealth -- including minerals -- is being looted, despite the fact that they need it more than others?
Again, do such actions correspond to the teachings of Christ and the tenets of human rights?
The brave and faithful people of Iran too have many questions and grievances, including: the coup d'etat of 1953 and the subsequent toppling of the legal government of the day, opposition to the Islamic revolution, transformation of an Embassy into a headquarters supporting the activities of those opposing the Islamic Republic (many thousands of pages of documents corroborate this claim), support for Saddam in the war waged against Iran, the shooting down of the Iranian passenger plane, freezing the assets of the Iranian nation, increasing threats, anger and displeasure vis-a-vis the scientific and nuclear progress of the Iranian nation (just when all Iranians are jubilant and celebrating their country's progress), and many other grievances that I will not refer to in this letter.
Mr. President,
September Eleven was a horrendous incident. The killing of innocents is deplorable and appalling in any part of the world. Our government immediately declared its disgust with the perpetrators and offered its condolences to the bereaved and expressed its sympathies.
All governments have a duty to protect the lives, property and good standing of their citizens. Reportedly your government employs extensive security, protection and intelligence systems -- and even hunts its opponents abroad. September eleven was not a simple operation. Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services -- or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities? And, why aren't those responsible and the guilty parties identified and put on trial?
All governments have a duty to provide security and peace of mind for their citizens. For some years now, the people of your country and neighbors of world trouble spots do not have peace of mind. After 9.11, instead of healing and tending to the emotional wounds of the survivors and the American people -- who had been immensely traumatized by the attacks -- some Western media only intensified the climate of fear and insecurity -- some constantly talked about the possibility of new terror attacks and kept the people in fear. Is that service to the American people? Is it possible to calculate the damages incurred from fear and panic?
American citizens lived in constant fear of fresh attacks that could come at any moment and in any place. They felt insecure in the street, in their place of work and at home. Who would be happy with this situation? Why was the media, instead of conveying a feeling of security and providing peace of mind, giving rise to a feeling of insecurity?
Some believe that the hype paved the way -- and was the justification -- for an attack on Afghanistan. Again I need to refer to the role of media. In media charters, correct dissemination of information and honest reporting of a story are established tenets. I express my deep regret about the disregard shown by certain Western media for these principles. The main pretext for an attack on Iraq was the existence of WMDs. This was repeated incessantly -- for the public to finally believe -- and the ground set for an attack on Iraq.
Will the truth not be lost in a contrived and deceptive climate? Again, if the truth is allowed to be lost, how can that be reconciled with the earlier mentioned values?
Is the truth known to the Almighty lost as well?
Mr. President,
In countries around the world, citizens provide for the expenses of governments so that their governments in turn are able to serve them.
The question here is "what has the hundreds of billions of dollars, spent every year to pay for the Iraqi campaign, produced for the citizens?"
As Your Excellency is aware, in some states of your country, people are living in poverty. Many thousands are homeless and unemployment is a huge problem. Of course these problems exist -- to a larger or lesser extent -- in other countries as well. With these conditions in mind, can the gargantuan expenses of the campaign -- paid from the public treasury -- be explained and be consistent with the aforementioned principles?
What has been said, are some of the grievances of the people around the world, in our region and in your country. But my main contention -- which I am hoping you will agree to some of it -- is:
Those in power have a specific time in office and do not rule indefinitely, but their names will be recorded in history and will be consistently judged in the immediate and distant futures.
The people will scrutinize our presidencies. Did we manage to bring peace, security and prosperity for the people or insecurity and unemployment?
Did we intend to establish justice or just supported special interest groups, and by forcing many people to live in poverty and hardship made a few people rich and powerful -- thus trading the approval of the people and the Almighty with theirs?
Did we defend the rights of the underprivileged or ignore them?
Did we defend the rights of all people around the world or imposed wars on them, interfered illegally in their affairs, established hellish prisons and incarcerated some of them?
Did we bring the world peace and security or raised the specter of intimidation and threats?
Did we tell the truth to our nation and others around the world or presented an inverted version of it?
Were we on the side of people or the occupiers and oppressors?
Did our administrations set out to promote rational behavior, logic, ethics, peace, fulfilling obligations, justice, service to the people, prosperity, progress and respect for human dignity or the force of guns, Intimidation, insecurity, disregard for the people, delaying the progress and excellence of other nations, and trample on people's rights?
And finally, they will judge us on whether we remained true to our oath of office -- to serve the people, which is our main task, and the traditions of the prophets -- or not?
Mr. President,
How much longer can the world tolerate this situation?
Where will this trend lead the world to?
How long must the people of the world pay for the incorrect decisions of some rulers?
How much longer will the specter of insecurity -- raised from the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction -- hunt the people of the world?
How much longer will the blood of the innocent men, women and children be spilled on the streets, and people's houses destroyed over their heads?
Are you pleased with the current condition of the world?
Do you think present policies can continue?
If billions of dollars spent on security, military campaigns and troop movement were instead spent on investment and assistance for poor countries, promotion of health, combating different diseases, education and improvement of mental and physical fitness, assistance to the victims of natural disasters, creation of employment opportunities and production, development projects and poverty alleviation, establishment of peace, mediation between disputing states, and extinguishing the flames of racial, ethnic and other conflicts, were would the world be today? Would not your government and people be justifiably proud?
Would not your administration's political and economic standing have been stronger?
And I am most sorry to say, would there have been an ever increasing global hatred of the American government?
Mr. President, it is not my intention to distress anyone.
If Prophet Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ishmael, Joseph, or Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) were with us today, how would they have judged such behavior? Will we be given a role to play in the promised world, where justice will become universal and Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) will be present? Will they even accept us?
My basic question is this: Is there no better way to interact with the rest of the world? Today there are hundreds of millions of Christians, hundreds of millions of Muslims and millions of people who follow the teachings of Moses (Peace Be Upon Him). All divine religions share and respect one word and that is "monotheism" or belief in a single God and no other in the world.
The Holy Koran stresses this common word and calls on all followers of divine religions and says: (3.64) Say: O followers of the Book! come to an equitable proposition between us and you that we shall not serve any but Allah and (that) we shall not associate aught with Him, and (that) some of us shall not take others for lords besides Allah; but if they turn back, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims. (The Family of Imran)
Mr. President,
According to divine verses, we have all been called upon to worship one God and follow the teachings of divine Prophets.
"To worship a God which is above all powers in the world and can do all He pleases." "the Lord which knows that which is hidden and visible, the past and the future, knows what goes on in the Hearts of His servants and records their deeds."
"The Lord who is the possessor of the heavens and the earth and all universe is His court" "planning for the universe is done by His hands, and gives His servants the glad tidings of mercy and forgiveness of sins" "He is the companion of the oppressed and the enemy of oppressors" "He is the Compassionate, the Merciful" "He is the recourse of the faithful and guides them towards the light from darkness" "He is witness to the actions of His servants" "He calls on servants to be faithful and do good deeds, and asks them to stay on the path of righteousness and remain steadfast" "Calls on servants to heed His prophets and He is a witness to their deeds" "A bad ending belongs only to those who have chosen the life of this world and disobey Him and oppress His servants" and "A good land and eternal paradise belong to those servants who fear His majesty and do not follow their lascivious selves."
We believe a return to the teachings of the divine prophets is the only road leading to salvation and have been told that Your Excellency follows the teachings of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) and believes in the divine promise of the rule of the righteous on Earth.
We also believe that Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) was one of the great prophets of the Almighty. He has been repeatedly praised in the Koran. Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) has been quoted in Koran as well: (19.36) And surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path.
Service to and obedience of the Almighty is the credo of all divine messengers.
The God of all people in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, the Pacific and the rest of the world is one. He is the Almighty who wants to guide and give dignity to all His servants. He has given greatness to Humans.
We again read in the Holy Book: "The Almighty God sent His prophets with miracles and clear signs to guide the people and show them divine signs and purify them from sins and pollutions. And He sent the Book and the balance so that the people display justice and avoid the rebellious."
All of the above verses can be seen, one way or the other, in the Good Book as well.
Divine prophets have promised:
The day will come when all humans will congregate before the court of the Almighty, so that their deeds are examined, The good will be directed towards Haven and evildoers will meet divine retribution. I trust both of us believe in such a day, but it will not be easy to calculate the actions of rulers, because we must be answerable to our nation and all others whose lives have been directly or indirectly affected by our actions.
All prophets, speak of peace and tranquillity for man -- based on monotheism, justice and respect for human dignity.
Do you not think that if all of us come to believe in and abide by these principles, that is, monotheism, worship of God, justice, respect for the dignity of man, belief in the Last Day, we can overcome the present problems of the world -- that are the result of disobedience to the Almighty and the teachings of prophets -- and improve our performance?
Do you not think that belief in these principles promotes and guarantees peace, friendship and justice?
Do you not think that the aforementioned written or unwritten principles are universally represented?
Will you not accept this invitation? That is, a genuine return to the teachings of prophets, to monotheism and justice, to preserve human dignity and obedience to the Almighty and His prophets?
Mr. President,
History tells us that repressive and cruel governments do not survive. God has entrusted the fate of men to them. The Almighty has not left the universe and humanity to their own devices. Many things have happened contrary to the wishes and plans of governments. These tell us that there is a higher power at work and all events are determined by Him.
Can one deny the signs of change in the world today?
Is the situation of the world today comparable to that of 10 years ago? Changes happen fast and come at a furious pace.
The people of the world are not happy with the status quo and pay little heed to the promises and comments made by a number of influential world leaders. Many people around the world feel insecure and oppose the spreading of insecurity and war and do not approve of and accept dubious policies.
The people are protesting the increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots and the rich and poor countries.
The people are disgusted with increasing corruption.
The people of many countries are angry about the attacks on their cultural foundations and the disintegration of families. They are equally dismayed with the fading of care and compassion. The people of the world have no faith in international organizations, because their rights are not advocated by these organizations.
Liberalism and Western-style democracy have not been able to help realize the ideals of humanity. Today these two concepts have failed. Those with insight can already hear the sounds of the shattering and fall of the ideology and thoughts of the Liberal democratic systems.
We increasingly see that people around the world are flocking towards a main focal point -- that is the Almighty God. Undoubtedly through faith in God and the teachings of the prophets, the people will conquer their problems. My question for you is: "Do you not want to join them?"
Mr. President,
Whether we like it or not, the world is gravitating towards faith in the Almighty and justice and the will of God will prevail over all things.
