At the Crossroad - Malaysia!

Perak Mufti Datuk Harussani Zakaria said the Chinese and Indians are the ones that are bullying the Malays and he is affirmative in his statement; he said: "This I know!".

As a Chinese I don't know how I had bullied the Malay community or the Muslims. As we can observed in the public places, I have not seen any part of the Chinese or Indian Community that had being bullying the Malays. In fact, my Malay friends and students often come to me for help and assistance and I had provided them the services almost all the time, and free-of-charge. I am sure many of them are readers of my blog and will attest to it. I have also observed that so many others are doing the same and vice versa.

Even if you look at Barisan Nasional, you can't find any element of MCA, Gerakan or MIC bullying UMNO or anything discriminating to Malays. If ever they had made any requests, what they had asked is for equality and fairness to prevail. So, how does Mufti Harrussani derived his affirmative conviction? I hope all of you, Malays, Chinese and Indians watch this video and ponder at what he had said.

The question arise is how did he came to this ideological conception and bias contention. He is a Mufti and he believes in the words of the Quran. Did his words and belief conforms to Islamic principles and values? Didn't it illustrate that he has had bias mentality and ideology?

I can attest that the Quran is a most wonderful documents with plenty of love, compassion and tolerance. The Quran states: "Allah hath full knowledge of those who do mischief (Surah 3: 63). In Al Maidah, it is stated that Muslims must do impartial justice; they must appreciate piety, humility and other good points. They must enjoy with gratitude all that is good and lawful but guard themselves against excess, swearing, intoxication, gambling, violation of the sanctuary, superstitions of all kinds, and false evidence are condemned. In Surah Al Baqarah verse 256, it was stated that: "Let there be no compulsion in religion.: Truth stands out clear from error." Surah 2:268-269: "And Allah careth for ALL and He knoweth all things. He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and He to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding." Is Harrussani, a Mufti, a man of understanding?

True wisdom is firm and enduring, and discerns Allah's Law in the working of His Creation; it looks to the final end of things, whose mystery is only known to Allah (Surah 31: 20-34)

Such men behave as if they had heard nothing of serious import, or laugh at serious teaching. The loss will be their own. They will miss the higher things of life and be left out of Allah's blessings. Ignorance and Arrogance are in most cases the causes of their fall (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran)

a friend sent me that video 2 weeks ago. i should have put it up on my blog and share with others ya but too busy with the malam bangsa malaysia in penang. well now that you did, i'll mention the video and point to your post.

what i remember most from the video was the mufti's words "don't distube islam".

Perhaps what is most deafening is that neither the MCA or MIC have refuted this statement by the Perak Mufti.

The least I would have expected them to do is to request the Perak Mufti to provide facts of his allegations.

Mave, honestly, I don't know what's inside Mufti Harussani's head.

But about Chinese bullying Malay, no offense please, for me its about Halal Haram thing la. As we know, Chinese are good in bisnes and they almost manufacture everything. One example is what I've seen in here..

I dont want to incite racial issue, but those kind of thing makes me sick. Other than that, I dont think we bullying each other, it just a competition, that's all. The losing end is just making it sound like being bullied.

People like Harussani and other UMNO leaders are the ones who plant the seed of destruction in this country.

Watching the video certainly reminds us again of how Arabisation has taken hold of the way of life of the Malays to the effect of steadily eroding their historical identity and culture.

This Harussani Zakaria racialist is narrow minded, pig ignorant and therefore dangerous, he is totally unfit to be a Mufti.
He has clearly demonstrated that he has a very shallow understanding of everything, including current affairs in Malaysia.
He has said many offensive things, if you recall he was the one who said that all those with AIDS should be banished to an isolated island!
He is a disgrace to Islam, and to the Malay race, he should be condemned by all.
If the Sultan of Perak sacked him, that would be true justice indeed.

what qualifications do you need to be a mufti? Really..with this type of shitty religious leaders..not only non malays are in deep sh*t..The muslims are equally screwed.

Terang Bulan,

If a manufacturer is unethical, it is not bully. Jakim should take action to protect the Muslims and I totally support a legal action to punish those who abuses the law. It doesn't matter who that manufacturer is, be it Chinese, Indian, or even Muslims themselves. As long as they are not certified by the relevant authority, the manufacturer should be punished. But that is not "Bully"; that's unethical behavior which is not confine to a race; it's a company belonging to someone and it could be a company co-owned by the three races.

Hamba allah,

Please do not use the word 'pig ignorant'; just say ignorant as we are only referring to one man, not one community. Within our social fabric, the community at-large must have the full respect of each others sensitivity and humility. We protest against differentiation and discrimination but it must be directed to the intended-party or person, not to a community. I believe you are directing to one person, Harussani too.

Maverick SM said...

Artchan,

I am not sure about qualification per se but to be qualified in Islamic knowledge, I believe, a Muslim who had grasp the knowledge expounded in the Quran and the Al hadith and follows the teaching of Allah should be considered qualified, irrespective of his tertiary background.

Mufti is a job. A position.
Like any other position, you can buy to sit in that place.

Anyway, I'm speechless...

"They must enjoy with gratitude all that is good and lawful but guard themselves against .....intoxication, etc."
The way I interpret the above, there is nothing to stop a Muslim from drinking alcohol. It says to guard against "intoxication", which means one can drink but not over indulging until one gets drunk. If it had said "They must enjoy with gratitude all that is good and lawful but guard themselves against .....drinking alcohol, etc.", then it is absolutely clear that no Muslim can drink liquor or any form of alcohol. Can any Muslim on this blog verify where it is stated in the Holy Book very distinctively without ambiquity, that one cannot drink alcohol?

Thanks for the comments.
Yes I was of course only referring specifically to Harussani.
Sincere apologies to any pigs who are offended by their level of intelligence compared with the small minded ignorance of Harussani. It is after all just a normal everyday expression for the terminally ignorant. In fact pigs are intelligent animals, they are as trainable as dogs and in many ways smarter.
To my porcine friends, I again offer my humble apologies.
