Dear Muhyiddin Yassin

In Islam, Saudi Arabia would not exist. Neither would Iran, Iraq, Turkey, or whatever. All would no longer exist. And Malays too would cease to exist. In Islam, a nation is not a race or country. These were creations of the infidels (the kafir), basically the European colonialists, and they were created so that the Nation of Islam can be divided in the spirit of divide and rule.

DPM: Use Prophet's Teaching as a Shield to Face Challenges

(Bernama) - The challenge facing Muslims in the country is extraordinary, but they cannot be idle or be swept away by the test, as it will mean the downfall of the Muslim community.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said they needed to apply noble values including strengthening their leadership and character as recommended by Prophet Muhammad to face the challenge successfully.   

In his message in conjunction with the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad this year, Muhyiddin said one should not endeavour to remember Prophet Muhammad only today, or once a year.   

"On the other hand, the Prophet and his teachings must be in the heart of every Muslim and capable of becoming a shield when facing any challenges confronting them.”

Muhyiddin said that, in the context of Malaysia, all physical development had been provided while Muslims must have the spiritual strength to ensure a balanced development.   

Revealing Prophet Muhammad's struggle, Muhyiddin said, with his leadership which was revered until today, he placed priority on spiritual strength to support physical development, to set up a respected Islamic nation.   

He drew attention to the fact that the celebration of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad was a platform to prove that they preserved and practiced the noble values as recommended by the prophet.

"Praise the greatness of Prophet Muhammad, and absorb all his strengths into us all in helping to turn Malaysia into a nation which is respected and where Muslims are looked up to," he added.

Dear Muhyiddin Yassin,

I love speculating. In fact, we all love speculating, even you. For example, you are speculating that at least 50% of the Indians will swing back to Barisan Nasional while Barisan Nasional has at least 40% of the Chinese support. This means if Barisan Nasional can win at least 55% of the Malay vote, then Barisan Nasional will, again, get to form the federal government while Pakatan Rakyat will be reduced to less than 80 Parliament seats and maybe just two states.

Anyway, let us talk more about that later. What I want to speculate about is, say, if the Prophet Muhammad were to return to earth today, would the Prophet agree with what you say and with what Umno is doing?

No doubt you have touched, or rather scratched the surface, of what the Prophet expects of us. Since you don’t really know, you are merely speculating. So allow me to also speculate.

I speculate that the Prophet would be extremely upset with what he would see if he did come back to earth today. And this is because of the following reasons.

Firstly, in the Prophet’s final sermon in Arafah, he made it very clear that God is opposed to racism. In fact, some Muslim scholars even condemn nationalism and call it bidaah. In other words, concepts such as Ketuanan Melayu are haram in Islam.

As you rightly pointed out, the Prophet’s mission and vision was to set up a Muslim nation, the ‘Nation of Islam’ as what Wallace D. Fard Muhammad said in July 1930.

Now, when we talk about a Nation of Islam, we are not talking about nationhood as in political boundaries. We are talking about nation in the context of a community, the ummah, as what most would say nowadays.

In other words, it is a nation within a nation.

In Islam, Saudi Arabia would not exist. Neither would Iran, Iraq, Turkey, or whatever. All would no longer exist. And Malays too would cease to exist. In Islam, a nation is not a race or country. These were creations of the infidels (the kafir), basically the European colonialists, and they were created so that the Nation of Islam can be divided in the spirit of divide and rule.

Don’t you think it was clever, and downright successful on top of that? And now, even Muslim leaders like you perpetuate this kafir concept of divide and rule. And did not the Muslim scholars say that those who perpetuate the kafir system are kafir? Would that not make you also kafir rather than Muslim, going by the interpretation of these scholars?

Now, what caused the decline or downfall of the Nation of Islam that you talked about? You don’t have to be an Oxford scholar of history (which, incidentally, I am…blush…blush….) to answer that question. It can be summarised in just three words: corruption, corruption, corruption!

And why do you think Sheikh Imran Hoessin said that corruption is riba’ and that the sin of riba’ tantamount to the sin of sex with your own mother/father?

Yes, corruption is the same as the crime of sex with your own mother. Why do you think that when people curse you they call you mother-f….r? That’s because it is the most despicable thing you can do.

Okay, let’s move on to another speculation. Umno says Barisan Nasional won 51% of the Malay votes, 30% of the Chinese votes, and 10% of the Indian votes in the March 2008 general election. I’m talking about only West Malaysia, of course. And that gave Barisan Nasional 49% of the total votes: 51% if East Malaysia is included.

I think there is something wrong with your maths here. My maths tells me that if the figures are true, then the total votes should come to less than 45%. How come it is 49%? Where did the extra 4% come from?

Maybe you should look at the figures yourself. People around you would normally tell you what you would like to hear, not what you should hear. No leader likes to be told the truth. They normally like to be told nice things.

I was told that you may be dissolving Parliament this month and that the elections will be held next month. If you do this then Pakatan Rakyat will sweep at least 90-100 parliament seats and no less than six states. And this would mean your dear Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak, is going to be ousted, like what happened to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, and the Deputy Prime Minister will….ah, hold on….now I see….

Clever…very clever. Okay, I will stop here then. I don’t want to spoil your plot. Well, look on the bright side, at least we can be rid of Rosmah Mansor.
