R* S* L* - R* i S* a L* a - a R* S* a L* - a R* S* i L* t u - R* a S* u L* : Can The Rasul (Messenger) Say One Thing Inside The Risala And Say Something Different Outside The Risala?

Happy weekend folks.  I was  logging on to my blog and decided to just check out some of the web links that mentioned my blog.  Here is what the page looked like :

The first link above was to my friend Mahaguru58's Blog. 

Mahaguru58  of course is Zainal Abidin.  (Lama tak jumpa bang. How are you?) 

Mahaguru aka Zainal Abidin started something called 'The Muslim Bloggers Alliance'. 

Tapi 'halal sticker'  tak jadi kut, so like many things with the 'Muslim' label,  the Muslim Bloggers Alliance never took off. 

Anyway here is what Mahaguru58 wrote about me in that link above :

Looking at this picture above I feel like I have to wash my hands with Dettol again. Standing beside the  'rata mala'.  

I recall the event above - Tun Dr Mahathir was already so skeptical and sarcastic about MOI.  It was the inauguration of that Bloghouse thing where I was the first  president and  for four years. 

Dr Mahathir arrived first and I sat with him in the holding room.  When MOI  arrived I excused myself from Dr Mahathir to go and  greet MOI.  

I recall saying to Dr Mahathir  'Sir,  I have to excuse myself to go and greet the p...e m......r.'  To which Dr Mahathir replied really cynically,  'Yes, yes please go ahead'. 


To continue, here is another comment about me by Mahaguru58.

Bro, I cannot help but smile at this statement by you.     A very honest statement indeed by Mahaguru58 :  

"..the man (referring to me) often says things that are contrary to what I know about our Islamic faith"

Indeed. Knowing Mahaguru58 quite well,  what he knows about the faith is exactly what his parents, the religious teachers, the masjid, surau and madrassah would have taught him.   

Without any malice bro,  this is the    blind acceptance, unthinking belief, without any query, question or discussion.      In simple language :  "telan ubat pahit dengan botol sekali".

It is exactly the same system of faith that has created the largest number of Failed States or what are known as  'Islamic countries' around the world.   And still counting.    Islamic society is just failing, failing and failing.   

And looking at the bad behaviours  among so many Muslims, I doubt they can make it to the visions of  "heaven" either.     Yet they still  feel they are all   'going to heaven'.  

I say folks, it  is going to be  a very, very forgiving god indeed who is going to overlook all your  sins and satanisms.  For  indeed all over the world,  these folks have been really  stacking them up.  




Anyway, since I have gotten your attention,  today I want to point out the word R*S*L* (risala) from the Quran.  


Risala, arsal, arsiltu, rasul, mursal are all derived from the same root word R *S* L*.


From the Quran :

• Risalah means  message.  
• Arsal means 'despatching a message / messenger'
• Rasul  means  messenger
• Arsiltu - means  "the message with which I have been sent" (its in the Quran) 

So Risala - Arsal - Rasul means "message, despatching a message, messenger"

In a few verses in the Quran, the Quran itself is also referred to as the Risala or message.

Surah 7:62  

For those who can read the arabic  "risalati Rabbi"   means "messages of my Lord".   

Here is another one,  in  Surah 5:67 :

  
Note this  '..then you have not conveyed His message".   

In transliterated Arabic it is :  "fa maa balaghta RISAALATA-HU.."

"RISAALATAHU = His message"

• So the Quran is the Message  (RISALA) 
• which was despatched out  (ARSAL)  
• through the Messenger  (RASUL).  

So please remember  RISALA - ARSAL - RASUL

A Rasul or Messenger can only deliver the message that was given to him. 

A Rasul or Messenger cannot edit, change, add or subtract from the message that he was entrusted with. 

I am positive that almost ALL of you Muslim readers did not know the verses that I have just quoted here  even existed in the Quran.   Or that you did not know the meanings of these verses.

Well Muslim folks, that puts you at the same level of understanding of the Quran as the non-Muslims.   The non-Muslims also do not know what is in the Quran.  I am just stating the facts.  Hands off the suicide triggers  ok.

Can the Rasul say one thing in the Quran and then say something else outside the Quran?   The answer is a flat NO.  

Here is the Quran:

61:2  O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do?
61:3  Most abominable in the sight of Allah is that you say what you do not do. 

You cannot say something and then dont do what you say, or do something else etc. 
In Malay we can equate it to  'cakap tak serupa bikin'.

So certainly the Rasul certainly cannot say one thing in the Quran and then say something else outside the Quran.  

SO PLEASE DO NOT BE INVENTING LIES / FITNAH ABOUT THE RASUL. 

THAT IS SUCH AN EVIL THING TO DO.  

Finally here are some verses from the Quran which I am quite certain few of you Muslims even knew existed. 

I call these few verses the  "RICHTER SCALE 8.0 EARTHQUAKE"  verses.  

Here they are (based on translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali) :

Surah  69 :  38-50

69:38    I call to witness all that ye can see,

69:39    And all that ye see not,

69:40    That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;

69:41    It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!

69:42    Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.

69:43    (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.

69:44    And if the Messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

69:45    We should certainly seize him by his right hand,

69:46   And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

69:47   Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).

69:48   But verily this is a Message for those who fear (Allah).

69:49   And We certainly know that there are amongst you those who reject.

69:50   But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.

Pay close attention to these verses :

69:44    And if the Messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

69:45    We should certainly seize him by his right hand,

69:46   And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

69:47   Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).

If the Messenger had invented any other sayings of his own and then attributed them to Allah,   then the Messenger would have been severely punished. And no one could have protected the Messenger from Allah's anger.

Here is Surah 69:44 again :

wa lau                    -   and if
taqawwala            -   he had said / spoken
alaynaa                  -   upon us /  on our behalf
ba'dha                    -   any / a portion
aqaaweel               -   sayings / speech 


So the Rasul or Messenger COULD NOT  say things on his own and then say 'these things are also from Allah".  

That would have earned him the wrath  of Allah  (Surah 69:38-50 above.)
