Sultan declares ceasefire as UN Sec-Gen urges end to
violence; Malaysia rejects truce offer
By Carolyn O. Arguillas on March 7 2013 5:44 pm
DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/07 March) – Sultan Jamalul Kiram III declared Thursday noon a unilateral ceasefire in Sabah, Malaysia in a bid to prevent further loss of lives but Malaysia rejected the truce offer and called on Kiram’s followers to surrender unconditionally.
TikTik Kaw Batu Way Iyasip sin SULTAN in PRESIDENT sin PHIL BUT SULTAN HEEDs UN SECGEN BY UNILATERALLY DECLARING CEASEFIRE!
Way iyasip sin Sultan in panawagtawag sin Nakura sin Pilipinas

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Qadarullaahi wa ma sha fa'alaa... :) awn sabab in katan.
Our Sultan and our ancestry was unconsciously affronted by the insensitive President P-Noy so that
1. the whole world will know that the SULU SULTANATE OWNS SABAH (since 1704) but under lease since 1878 up today;
2. that if a President such as PNOY will not choose to recognize a Sultan of Sulu and will not even bother to talk with the SULU SULTAN diplomatically just to scorn him THEN ALLAH decrees and deems it that the leader of 193 nations no less than UN SECGEN BAN KI-MOON will honor, respect and recognize him before the world. ALLAH indeed is the sole debaser of mortals as well as the sole elevator of rank or status as He wills...ALLAHU AKBAR! wallaahu ah'lam
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A Reasonable man listens to a Reasonable request;
(In tau awn aql asal dumungug pa pangayu'un sin tau awn aql)
Sultan Jamalul Kiram III DID NOT listen to the PRESIDENT's call
(Way iyasip sin Sultan in panawagtawag sin Nakura sin Pilipinas)
YET heeds the request of UN SecGEN to dialogue and end violence peacefully. The Sultan declared UNILATERAL CEASEFIRE.
(Sagawa dyungug iban iyasip niya in hiyajat sin Nakura sin UN magdayalog iban ha lawum kahanungann hundungun na in pagbunuh. Byantang magtuy sin Sultan in Swara-Sara': Hundungun in Pagbunuh:CEASEFIRE!)
WHY? (mayta)
Well, perhaps... (nahh, hatiku isab...)
respect begets respect!
(in pag-addat mapatut tungbasan sin pag-addat)
How can you listen to someone who doesn't respect you?
(Bayriin kadungug mu ha tau di misan mag-addat kaymu?)
EVEN a humble leader- of 193 nations comprising the United Nations-like Ban Ki-Moon opts to Call out for Peace and Dialogue rather than to DENOUNCE with VEILED THREATs and innuendo.
(Misan in patibabaun nakura sin 193 bangsa tarbilang ha UN biyah na kan Ban Ki-Moon ini pi'ni' Manawagtawag pa kahanungan iban MagDayalog dayng sin tamparasa Mangatak/Manggura' agad MAGBANTU/MANGANTUP' labay PARAIL)
Did "gracious and diplomatic speech" to the Sultan (Without a Kingdom kailu sin actually with a LEASED KINGDOM since 1878) lessen even by a notch the rank and status of the UN Leader?
(In pamung hanunut-agad-niyat manulut pa Sultan (Way Pyagmilikan Hulah kunu laung sin awn isab sah syusukayan dayng 1878) kyababa baha misan hangkalugut sin kawasa iban darajat sin Nakurah UN?)
TRULY, only ALLAH can elevate anyone's rank and only ALLAH can debase anyone as He Wills! Allaahu akbar!
(Tartantu, tunggal ALLAH in maka-angkat sin darajat sin tiyap tau damikkyan tuput ALLAH in makapagbaya bang Nya hidausdus in darajat sin tiyap manusiyah! Allaahu Akbar!)
Now who is being UNREASONABLE? I leave that to you to answer!
(Nahh HISYU ta in ANGRISONABUL yan? Kamuh na in pasambungun ku!)

UN SecGEN: End Sabah Violence PEACE RALLYISTS OPPOSE COLLATERAL DAMAGE
UN chief urges end to Sabah violence
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for an end to violence in Malaysia's Sabah state.
It comes after Malaysia launched a military assault in an
attempt to end an incursion by a group of Filipinos who say the land
belongs to them.At least 27 people have been killed since the initially peaceful two-week stand-off erupted into violence.
On Wednesday, Malaysian troops hunting the Filipinos said they had found at least 13 bodies.
In a statement, Mr Ban's office said he encouraged all sides to engage in dialogue to resolve the situation peacefully.
"The Secretary-General expresses concern about the impact this situation may have on the civilian population, including migrants in the region," said the statement.
"He urges all parties to facilitate delivery of humanitarian assistance and act in full respect of international human rights norms and standards."

SAYING NO TO VIOLENCE...OPPOSING COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN SABAH... |
A rally was held in the Philippines capital, Manila, on Wednesday night calling for a peaceful resolution and expressing concern for the safety of the many Filipinos who live and work in Sabah.
"We are very apprehensive that it may get out of control," Norhaya Nacusag told Reuters.
"We are united and firm in our call to both parties for the unconditional and immediate cessation of hostilities and for the Malaysian government and the Sulu Sultanate to immediately work for the de-escalation of conflict and to open up dialogues to resolve this conflict."

An Opportune Time To Resolve Sabah Claim Albeit Our President Has Forsaken Us
This is "my personal stand" Lyndee.
From my point of view, the Raayat's indignant reaction is provoked (roiled pell mell indeed by PNoy) by the stimulus of how The President of the Philippines ordered and threatened the (Crown Prince) Raja Muda Agbimuddin and his Royal Forces.
The disrespect and rudeness made by the President to the Sultanate of Sulu heirs is actually an affront to the dignity of the Sulu People and their ancestors; it resurrected to life hallowed memories of the past of how the Tausugs have died and been martyred in defense of Islam and Nation: Bud Dajo, Jabidah Massacre, 1974, Defending the Revolt in aid of the Sultan of Brunei and North Borneo in 1704 and the injustice of the Sabah Lease.
This stimulus evoked a havoc of emotions stirring and stoking afire the righteousness and glory to fight back in defense of one's lost honor. That through out these years that the "majority (Raayat) of the minority" Muslims have suffered and tolerated systemic corruption and oppression--- condescended and trusted to be ruled by non-Muslims under the Republic (by chosing to forbear in the name of as-Salaam)--- but these were the very same people who betrayed their sense of kinship by making them feel that they do not belong and have never belonged in the sense that they are not regarded as "karugtong ng pambansang dangal" in terms of National Security and Integrity; That Their President would rather incite the citizenry in defense of Spratlys than it would even bother to protect and defend the symbolical vestiges of the Sulu Sultanate of Sulu.
Not only the Tausugs but even Muslims of other tribes and nations including surprisingly non-Muslim Filipinos- are emotionally stirred up by the open insult---it was not really the words that PNoy spoke nor the demeanor he projected but the chilling effect of a realization: it is so easy for the President to abandon our people. Our President who avowed he was our boss has forsaken us.
And so the Raayat were reminded cruelly of the oppressive past and how their ancestors have valiantly strove to thrive amidst waves of colonial conquests, and each reminder throughout history spoke of death and countless deaths, and with each dying memory they agonized, bled, and died with them. The traumatic experience of remembering is spiralling towards the need to fight back in order to survive the pain---and if death comes at least this will end the pain---and at least they have died fighting and were not just slaughtered like helpless animals in the abbatoir.
THUS, I reiterate my personal stand, Lyndee. "Hasbunallaahu wa ni'mal wakeel...these sudden series of historical upheaval are amazing. None from amongst us wanted this :) meantime we dua'a and forbear insha'ALLAH. Maraming mga isyu at katanungan ang nabuksan, maaring masama sa unang tingin pero sadyang may kakambal na katotohanan na siyang nagbalot ng liwanag sa kasaysayan ng Sultanato ng Sulu at ng North Borneo.
If in exposing historical truth, consequentially would ultimately bring benefit to the progeny of the Muslim Filipinos to enjoin good and forbid evil...and to finally end the centuries-old perpetuation of injustice and historical and economic genocide upon the Bangsamoro, then the Raja Muda Agbimuddin and his men would never have to die in vain after all...
Inna Lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un...Allah indeed is our Sole Protector, The Best To Protect and the Best To Help... this sufficeth more than upgrading one's capability in terms of billions can...
"Yet as we confront this possibility, I affirm that it is totally unacceptable to allow any “collateral damage” who would be our innocent brothers and sisters suffering long and oftentimes in silence, whenever we’ve allowed the offensive guns to speak loudest." Thus, my only recourse is to hit my keyboards in order to create a resounding statement that will reverberate within the hearts of all principal parties to this conflict most especially to those who are inclined to wield power using the lethal language of their guns to silence justice. Wallaahu ahlam

An Open Letter Calling for Sobriety, Calm and Dialogue on Sabah
This
is our advocacy and our call. Please support this effort by signing on to this
open letter or drafting your own calls towards resolving the issue.
Please indicate if you/your organization is signing up by replying to this
email. Kindly help disseminate, even to our compatriots, CSOs in
Malaysia.
=======================================================
An Open Letter Calling for Sobriety, Calm and Dialogue on Sabah.
On the unfolding tragedy
now threatening parts of Sabah, we urgently call upon President Benigno S.
Aquino III of the Philippines, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun
Razak of Malaysia, the Sultanate of Sulu and its heirs led by Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, together
with any and all individuals, organizations and networks who disavow violence
and conflict, and who support dialogue as their primary mechanism for peace, to
now unite and work towards bringing all the involved parties together in
seeking a peaceful resolution to the issues at hand.
We recognize each of
the three (3) principals now involved and their commitment to peace in recent
history. We commend Malaysia and its facilitative role in bringing peace to much of Mindanao through
years of negotiations. We acknowledge President Aquino and his administration’s
efforts in calling for dialogue and peace-building in various conflict-affected
regions of the Philippines. And we laud the long history of the Sultanate of
Sulu in responsibly leading its proud and unconquered people into the present.
While we may feel
disappointment that peace has not spread fast enough into the hearts of our
fellowmen in the region, we feel that the chance to remedy the Sabah situation
is still at hand, granted we act quickly, calmly and with sobriety, remaining
steadfast in our commitment to dialogue, negotiations and ultimately peace. The
chilling effect on the long hoped-for peace in the region that this event may
have spawned should not be allowed to spread, for it impacts on the future of
large populations in the region, be they involved in this dispute or not. The
threat and deprivation forced upon the lives and futures of the innocent
brought on by conflict, particularly those impacting on women and children,
remains unacceptable to us in any of the actions and discussions done, or yet
to follow.
The convergence of
conditions that engendered this event shows us all that a number of underlying
issues may have remained long simmering, out of sight to most of us, and now
needs to be addressed sensibly and soon, be it before the public eye or in
stages respectful of the sensibilities of all involved. Again, this underscores
our advocacy for developing regular venues of dialogue to thresh such matters
out.
We also should not let
ourselves be swayed by the apparent machinations and apathy of those who
selfishly see no benefit for themselves by staying on the path of peace the
majority of us have chosen. Yet as we confront this possibility, we must also
find as totally unacceptable any “collateral damage” for our innocent brothers
and sisters suffering long and oftentimes in silence, whenever we’ve allowed
guns to speak loudest.
We feel that that the
time for posturing, threats and armed action, no matter how righteous and particularly
at the cost of innocent lives, remains unacceptable. That letting stoked
emotions roiling pell-mell into violence, at the cost of reason and value for
lives, has no place in a future built on crafting peace for ourselves and
generations to follow.
Let us remind all
involved that history is both perceived by looking at what we’ve done in our
past, as well as how we’ve measured up to our future. This future now before us
calls us to be globally engaged, to be responsible for one another, to foster
an inclusivity that calls upon us all to look at the humanity that unites us,
not the differences that divide.
We therefore call on
the key actors, from the governments of the Philippines and Malaysia, the
Sultanate of Sulu and its heirs, engaged by other stakeholders along with all
of us who value peace above all, to sign on in calling for an immediate end to
the violence and come together in a dialogue for peace on the issues pertaining
to Sabah.
The time for this is
now and begins with us. Let us resolve the Sabah issue peacefully, not through
arms but through dialogue. The cycle of violence in resolving conflict must
end, and the opportune time for it in Sabah is NOW!

With all due respect and begging for your indulgence, I am addressing this commentary/intervention to the President, to all my respected brethren pictured behind him in the photo and to all Filipino citizens who may read this. When we think of the welfare and well-being of the majority; we have to make decisions that are grounded on human rights and justice for ALL.
In this cul de sac that was a defensive stance initially but now has been tackled using offensive engagement by the Malaysian government, we implement solutions by not issuing verdict and judgment without due process of law. When the scales are tipped, and the oppressed are push to the edge, they naturally take drastic decisions which the PRESIDENT must bear in mind that he did not order.
THUS, by virtue of humans patriae as Vanguard of the State, the PRESIDENT of the Philippines must protect the oppressed and the down-trodden be they a measly number of Filipino citizens, nonetheless, they have the right to be protected and defended.
As it is, the PRESIDENT appealed censoriously; he did not exhibit any semblance of compassion for Raja Muda Agbimuddin and his men or for the Sultanate of Sulu’s claim who are in the brink of utter desperation when the President in all probity could have acted as a 3rd-Party Interventionist to protect the proprietary rights of Sulu Sultanate and the lives that are currently endangered.
Can you blame the Sulu Sultan and his royal forces for their stubborn stance? Where there is unfounded injustice, repression and suppression; there is spiral of HRV and concomitant violence. Consequently, there is LOSS OF TRUST and CONFIDENCE in the GOVERNMENT to promote, RESPECT and FULFILL the rights of MUSLIMS. The President’s appeal sounded as an ultimatum and made the Sulu Sultan and his royal forces that their President has relinquished his responsibility on them because it seemed that the President is more concern with bilateral ties with Malaysia. Showing respect for a human being’s dignity is not a sign of weakness even for a State President.
Not only the Filipinos are worth dying for, even Tausugs are worth dying for unless you regard them not as citizens of the Philippines. National integrity and honor and is not endemic to the President unless he is unconsciously severing off the Sulu Sultanate from the ties that bind the Philippine National Security, Intergrity and Honor. Why would he even doubt the legitimacy of Sulu Sultanate’s claim when since 1878 until present the Sultan and his heirs are still receiving the annual lease from Malaysia?
A Google search for the word "Sabah," the state at the center of Malaysia's biggest security crisis in years, came back with a search results page that quotes "Wikipedia" calling Malaysian control of the state "illegitimate." "Sabah is illegitimately considered one of the 13 member states of Malaysia, and is said to be its easternmost state but in fact, it is part of the Sultanate of Sulu," the passage read, shown in a box previewing the Wikipedia entry for Sabah.
I respectfully affirm Senator Salonga’s statement that “the contract of lease on the basis of British documents and records cannot be disputed here or abroad and that it contains a technical description of the territory in terms of natural boundaries, thus:
Where has the President’s bravado gone now? Is this the same Pres Noynoy who spoke of national security and patriotism in clear terms (alluding to Spratlys) during his SONA in 2011? “Kung seguridad na rin lang po ang ating pag-uusapan, di ba’t karugtong din nito ang ating pambansang dangal? Dati, hindi man lang natin makuhang pumalag tuwing may sisindak sa atin sa loob mismo ng ating bakuran. Malinaw ang pahiwatig natin ngayon sa buong mundo: Ang sa Pilipinas ay sa Pilipinas; kapag tumapak ka sa Recto Bank, para ka na ring tumapak sa Recto Avenue.” Does his bravado begin only in Spratlys and terminate on Sabah claim?
Perhaps, this is exactly the sentiment that Sultan Jamalul Kiram III and Raja Muda Agbimuddin III are resonating to their State President, to Malaysia and to the rest of the world at the moment: “That like Noynoy, they want peace and they do not have any intention to engage in an offensive skirmish; that they merely wish to proclaim to the world that what is rightfully the Sulu Sultanate’s is the Sulu Sultanate’s; and that they are merely sending a message across that like the President, they are more than ready to defend what is lawfully theirs.”

Further, that “thousands of years ago, what is now known as the Philippines and what is known today as Borneo used to constitute a single historical, cultural, economic unit…Borneo is only 18 miles away from us today…North Borneo, formerly known as Sabah, was originally ruled by the sultan of Brunei. In 1704, in gratitude for help extended to him by the sultan of Sulu in suppressing a revolt, the sultan of Brunei ceded North Borneo to the Sulu sultan.” [http://globalnation.inquirer.net/66739/salonga-explains-sabah-claim/ excerpts from a speech that Sen. Jovito R. Salonga delivered on March 30, 1963]
Where has the President’s bravado gone now? Is this the same Pres Noynoy who spoke of national security and patriotism in clear terms (alluding to Spratlys) during his SONA in 2011? “Kung seguridad na rin lang po ang ating pag-uusapan, di ba’t karugtong din nito ang ating pambansang dangal? Dati, hindi man lang natin makuhang pumalag tuwing may sisindak sa atin sa loob mismo ng ating bakuran. Malinaw ang pahiwatig natin ngayon sa buong mundo: Ang sa Pilipinas ay sa Pilipinas; kapag tumapak ka sa Recto Bank, para ka na ring tumapak sa Recto Avenue.” Does his bravado begin only in Spratlys and terminate on Sabah claim?
Perhaps, this is exactly the sentiment that Sultan Jamalul Kiram III and Raja Muda Agbimuddin III are resonating to their State President, to Malaysia and to the rest of the world at the moment: “That like Noynoy, they want peace and they do not have any intention to engage in an offensive skirmish; that they merely wish to proclaim to the world that what is rightfully the Sulu Sultanate’s is the Sulu Sultanate’s; and that they are merely sending a message across that like the President, they are more than ready to defend what is lawfully theirs.”
"Bilang Pangulo, nakaatang sa aking balikat ang buhay, hindi lang ng grupo ni Rajah Muda Agbimuddin Kiram, kundi maging ang kapakanan at kaligtasan ng tinatayang walondaang libong Pilipinong nasa Sabah. Bawat buhay ay mahalaga, at wala tayong ibang pakay kundi ang mangibabaw ang kaligtasan ng mga kababayan natin, nasaang panig man sila ng mundo." http://1.president.gov.ph/speech/pahayag-ni-pangulong-aquino-ukol-sa-mga-kaganapan-sa-sabah-ika-4-ng-marso-2013/
Kung talagang isinasaalang-alang nga ng ating Pangulo “ang kapakanan ng bawat Pilipino nasaan man sila naroroon---bakit kaya ang mga Pinuno ng mga Bansa kapag yaman at pera na ang usapin---hindi na dinadaan sa 4-way test tulad na lang ng pagbibigay pahintulot sa EXXOn-Mobil sa pagbabarina ng pusod ng Karagatan ng Sulu kahit pa magdudulot ito ng malubhang pinsala at panganib hindi lamang sa mismong buhay ng mga mamamayang Pilipino kundi maging sa kanilang kapaligiran-kalikasan at maging sa paglawig ng mismong buhay ng mundo?!?
Maraming mga isyu at katanungan ang nabuksan, maaring masama sa unang tingin pero sadyang may kakambal na katotohanan na siyang nagbalot ng liwanag sa kasaysayan ng Sultanato ng Sulu at ng North Borneo.
If in exposing historical truth, consequentially would ultimately bring benefit to the progeny of the Muslim Filipinos to enjoin good and forbid evil...and to finally end the centuries-old perpetuation of injustice and historical and economic genocide upon the Bangsamoro, then the Raja Muda Agbimuddin and his men would never have to die in vain after all...
Inna Lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un...Allah indeed is our Sole Protector, The Best To Protect and the Best To Help... this sufficeth more than upgrading one's capability in terms of billions can...

Olfactorily Challenged Nos(e)talgia: The Smell of Kalang, Tapul, Sulu
Nos(e)talgia: The Smell of Kalang, Tapul, Sulu
I just can't figure it.
Couldn't put my finger...ooops my nose...on it... :P
I indeed am olfactorily challenged!
There are times, rare it may be, that I blurt out of the blue: "Hamut Tapul..." (It smells Tapul...)
Funny...I cannot describe exactly the fragrance all I know my olfactory sense signals me...it is Tapul's fragrance that I am suddenly sniffing in the air.
Could be the mist from the sea...the smell of the corals...the sea breeze...the flowers growing the old school's fence...the "sweet rice congee" seasoned by pandan leaves...the sea urchin team-cooked in its own shell...although I love it best steamed wrapped in banana leaves then grilled next...
Or...if there is such a thing as "the fragrance of ambiance".
Why did old memories 42 years back suddenly come alive?
Resurrected...when our dear Aunt passed away
Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
Her terminus resurrected memories of scrambled duck's egg
Sizzling "ja" in deep gurgling oil....as light mocha colored batter transcends three layered screen
I hear the staccato of tapping...in time with digital tapping upon my laptop keys
Ja...Yes...Ja...my German friend would agree...NgWL...
I mean one thing and he means another in the affirmative
Such truant thoughts of yesteryears...

STOP! Felonious Forced Disappearances, Extrajudicial Killings
By Warina Sushil A. Jukuy, HAN-SecGen
"Calling For Justice For Shaykh Bashier Mursalun"
You, who shot him, if he still alive, give him back to us, we will hospitalize him; If he died, return his corpse to us, we shall bury him and return him to Allah. We believe that our Shaykh died as Martyr because indeed he is an innocent preacher. ~Fwd Text from Concerned Muslims..
You, who shot him, if he still alive, give him back to us, we will hospitalize him; If he died, return his corpse to us, we shall bury him and return him to Allah. We believe that our Shaykh died as Martyr because indeed he is an innocent preacher. ~Fwd Text from Concerned Muslims..
Upon
circulation of forwarded text message, PAHRA Chair Max de Mesa and PAHRA
SecGen Rose Trajano were the first people among HAN partners to respond
promptly. De Mesa advised for a background to be emailed so an urgent appeal
can be made locally and abroad. Trajano likewise advised for a documented
report albeit a brief one so she can take action and coordinate the case with
Task Force USIG of the PNP to enforce NMM or National Monitoring Mechanism
on forced disappearances and extrajudicial
killings, among others.
We
urgently appeal to our Muslim leaders, the PNP,
human rights groups and colleagues as well as other civil society
organizations to join hands and collaborate to render justice to Shaykh Bashier
Mursalun and similar others before him
and after him, insha’ALLAH.
The
Philippine Constitution states: “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty
and property without due process of law.”
In Islam, to spill a drop of blood without just cause is a crime against
humanity. I reiterate our call, in the name of Al Adl and of Justice:
“…You, who shot him, if he still alive, give him back to us,
we will hospitalize him; If he died, return his corpse to us, we shall bury him
and return him to Allah. We believe that our Shaykh died as Martyr because
indeed he is an innocent preacher. “
LATEST UPDATE:
Based from a call from HAN
partner ALNAJIB MAUJON an hour ago, a trusted source intimated that
a witness survived; plate number of alleged perpetrators’ van was
recorded and a spot report of incident is with the Zamboanga City cops; and
that a certain Police Abdul of ZC checkpoint
noticed his shaykh inside the van. Surprised he commented that it was
his guru but the alleged perpetrators replied that they are from PDEA. HAN
partner Maujon’s source also gave information that when van broke witnesses saw
switching of perpetrators and abducted Mursalun to another Adventure vehicle. Contact imparted that cops could not trace the
vehicle’s owner because plate number was unregistered. I believe that the
original vehicle owner can still be traced through the chassis of the engine
which in motor vehicles are stenciled at LTO.
Nonetheless, below is a blogpost,
MURSALUN STILL NOT FOUND, written by fellow PAHRA paralegal worker and Han pioneer
member.

2nd Life: 24 Years Extension Lease of LIFE Allaahu Akbar
Second Life
If ever there was
an extension of Allah's
Lease of Life
SubhanALLAH...
Tahmid
Am thankful
grateful for ALLAH
is great...
remorseful for
what might have beens
Takbir...
Al qadar wal qadaa'
mode breaks that mood
Alhamdulillaahi alaa kulli haal
That moment I have fully grasped
the Most Trustworthy Handhold
that never breaks
YET flailing my Eeman quakes
each weak moment
I reminisce
of what might have beens
Nastagfirullaah...
Nonetheless
ALLAH never breaks His Promise
That moment I have fully grasped
the Most Trustworthy Handhold
that never breaks
I dread the thought
of letting go...
Secured,
cocooned
in the sweetness
of His Infinite Mercy!
Nahmadullaah wa nashkuruh!
{Allaah is the Walee (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliyaa’ (supporters and helpers) are Taaghoot (false deities), they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever.} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 257]
