MenGaDiLi rEZim,WhY nOt?

Kematian Soeharto masih menyisakan sejuta misteri.Kematianya bukan berarti akhir dari rezim orde baru.Polemik soal status hukum mantan orang no 1 ini akan terus bergulir dan menghantui Indonesia.

Soeharto memang jago kandang.Betapa tidak,menurut PBB dalam program 'stolen asset recovery(STAR)initiative',Soeharto adalah pemimpin terkorup di dunia.STAR initiative mencatat,harta kekayaan dinasti cendana berkisar 15-35 miliar dolar AS(www.soehartoinbuster.org).Tapi hingga detik ini,politik dan hukum penguasa negeri ini nyaris tak menyentuhnya.Bahkan soeharto dikbumikan bagai seorang jenderal dan pahlawan besar tanpa dosa.

Padahal para koruptor kelas dunia yang termasuk dalam daftar STAR initiative seperti Ferdinand E.Marcos(Filipina),Alberto Fujimori(Peru),dan Joseph Estrada(Filipina) sudah dijerat hukum di negeri mereka masing-masing.Harta F.E Marcos diburu dan disita sebesar sepertiga dari 10 miliar dolar AS oleh presidential commision on good government(PCGG).Alberto Fujimori ditangkap di Cile,diekstradisi ke Peru dan diadili dengan ancaman hukuman 30 tahun bui.Sedangkan Joseph Estrada dihukum seumur hidup sebelum akhirnya diampuni presiden Filipina Arroyo dengan penyitaan hartanya.Pada Oktober 2007,di cile,pemerintahan Michel Bachelet menangkapi kroni mantan presiden Augusto Pinochet antara lain: istrinya,Lucia(84) dan lima anaknya,yakni Augusto,Lucia,Marco Antonio,Jaqueline,dan Veronica serta satu pengacara dan tiga purnawirawan jenderal(Jorge Ballerino,Guillermo Garin dan Hector Letelier).13 pengikut loyal Pinochet juga didakwa dalam skandal korupsi.Padahal,kejahatan korupsi dalam kurun 1973-1990 ini hanya senilai 27 juta dolar AS.Toh,ini merupakan prestasi besar presiden Bachelet,karena tiga presiden sebelumnya tak berdaya mennyentuh dinasti Pinochet.Kejahatan Soeharto,menurut Dewi Soekarno,menyerupai kejahatan Pol Pot.Meskipun the big brothers pol Pot mati,sejak 13 november 2007,pemerintah kamboja menggelar polpot's trial dengan menyeret Khiev Samphan(presiden Khmer Merah),Kaing Goek Eav alias Duch(komandan penjara penyiksaan Tuol Sleng),Nuon Chea,Leng Sary(menteri luar negeri),dan Leng Thirith.Mereka dituduh terlibat dalam kejahatan kemanusiaan yang membunuh 1.7 juta rakyat Kamboja melalui penyiksaan,eksekusi,kelaparan,kerja paksa sepanjang 1975-1979.Di Jerman,usai perang dunia II yang menelan korban 6 juta jiwa yahudi dan 60 juta lainnya,nuremberg Trial tetap digelar meski Hitler sudah tewas.Pengadilan kejahatan kemanusiaan tetap dilakukan atas 24 pimpinan utama nazi seperti: Martin Borman,Hans Frank,Herman Goring,Rudolf Hess dan lainnya.Bahkan Adolf Eichmann,sang arsitek holocaust,ditangkap ditempat persembuniyannya di Argentina,lalu diadili dan digantung di Tel Aviv,Israel pada 31 mei 1962.

MENGADILI REZIM SOEHARTO,WHY NOT?

PolPot,Hitler,Marcos,Pinochet boleh mati.Tapi rezimnya tetap diburu dan diadili oleh penguasa berikutnya.
Begitu juga dengan Soeharto.soeharto boleh wafat.Tapi rezimnya masih bebas berkuasa melalui kebijakan pemerintah yang berkuasa saat ini.Faktanya?tidak demikian.Penguasa sekarang dibawah SBY justru 'malu-malu kucing' jika tidak dikatakan 'takut' dengan kebesaran dinasti cendana dan kroni-kroninya.
Lalu,bagaimana sikap kita sebagai rakyat negeri ini dan umat islam?
Pertama,kita melihat almarhum Soeharto sebagai seorang muslim.Sebagai muslim,wajar kita mendoakannya sebagaimana doa rasulullah,'allahummagh firlahu warhamu wa 'afihi wa'fu anhu'.Wajar pula kita berharap agar amal kebaikannya diterima di sisi Allah dan dosa-dosanya diampuni olehNya.
Kedua,kita melihat almarhum sebagai seorang mantan kepala negara.Sebagai kepala negara,sudah banyak hal~baik dan buruk~yang dilakukannya dalam banyak bidang.Namun,bukan karena hal-hal baik yang pernah dilakukannya lantas bisa katakan itu sebagai jasa-jasanya sebagai jenderal dan pahlawan besar.Karena semua itu sudah menjadi tanggung jawabnya sebagai seorang kepala negara yang melayani urusan rakyatnya.
Di samping hal-hal baik,ada pula hal-hal buruk yang pernah dilakukan oleh rezim Soeharto.Bukan bermaksud 'ghibah' tapi masih banyak rakyat negeri ini yang belum ikhlas dan ridho dengan kesalahan yang pernah dilakukan oleh rezim Soeharto.Rakyat terus mengejar keadilan.Dalam bidang politik,rezim orba telah mengebiri dan mengerdilkan peran politik umat islam dengan melarang masyumi dan membatasinya pada satu parpol islam saja,yakni PPP(peran politik PPP pun masih juga dikerdilkan).Dalam bidang ekonomi,siapa yang pertama kali meneken kontrak untuk menjual aset tambang emas tembaga pura di papua kepada PT Freeport?siapa yang membuat sistem HPH(hak pengelolaan hutan)?siapa yang mengkorupsi harta ratusan juta rakyat negeri ini?rezim Soehartolah yang bertanggung jawab.Dalam bidang kemanusiaan,siapa yang bertanggung jawab atas pembunuhan umat islam di Tanjung Priok dan Talang sari,Lampung serta rakyat sipil Aceh di era DOM(daerah operasi militer)?siapa yang bertanggung jawab atas hilangnya sejumlah aktivis HAM dan mahasiswa trisakti dalam kerusuhan Mei?rakyatlah yang bisa menjawabnya.Kesalahan rezim Soeharto tidak bisa direduksi hanya pada kasus yayasan supersemar dan yayasan-yayasan lainnya.
Untuk membuktikan kasih sayang rakyat pada penguasanya,jika pak Harto masih hidup,beliau seharusnya menjalani serangkaian proses hukuman di dunia~tentunya hukuman yang sesuai hukum Allah(syariah islam).Hukuman tersebut bertujuan untuk menebus dosa-dosanya di akhirat kelak.Kini pak Harto sudah wafat maka status hukumannya adalah urusan almarhum dengan Allah.Tapi kematian pak Harto bukan akhir dari rezimnya.Mereka seharusnya diburu dan diadili oleh pemerintah saat ini.
Dalam kejahatan ekonomi,seperti KKN,penjualan aset negara pada pihak asing,dll solusinya bukan dengan memaafkan kesalahannya tapi dengan memaksa mereka untuk mengembalikan aset negara untuk kepentingan rakyat dan mengembalikan harta rakyat yang telah dikorupsi untuk kemakmuran rakyat.Dalam kejahatan kemanusiaan,siapapun yang terlibat dalam kejahatan kemanusiaan,mereka harus di qishos didunia sebagai penebus dosa mereka di akhirat.Terkait wacana agar Soharto dimaafkan,siapa yang berhak memaafkan?pihak korbanlah yang berhak memaafkannya.
Alhasil dengan menuntaskan proses hukum rezim Soeharto secara menyeluruh sesuai hukum Allah(dan dalam hal ini,sistem pemerintahan islam~khilafah yang akan menerapkan hukum/syariah islam),akan terurailah benang kusut dan polemik status hukum Soeharto dan rezimnya.

ProDuSen FiLm PoRno PriHatin PorNogRafi InteRnet

internet memang tak sepantasnya dilihat anak-anak. Namun bagaimana jika sebuah perusahaan film porno turut merasa prihatin terhadap bahaya pornografi ini? Serius atau hanya untuk meraih simpati publik saja?

Adalah Vivid Entertainment, perusahaan film porno besar asal Amerika Serikat yang memprihatinkan bahaya konten pornografi internet terhadap anak-anak. Mereka pun meminta perusahaan internet seperti Google dan Yahoo serius melindungi para bocah dari bahaya pornografi online.

"Belum ada mesin cari dan portal internet, khususnya Yahoo dan Google, telah mengambil langkah yang signifikan dalam melindungi anak-anak (dari bahaya pornografi internet-red)," kata Steven Hirsch, pendiri Vivid Entertainment dalam pernyataan tertulisnya, Jumat (15/2).

Hirsch menambahkan, dia ingin penyedia layanan internet yang punya konten dewasa memverifikasi umur para pengaksesnya terlebih dahulu. Selain itu, Hirsch juga bersedia bekerja sama dengan perusahaan internet yang berminat dalam usaha agar anak-anak tak terkontaminasi bahaya pornografi.

Menanggapi pernyataan tersebut, pihak Yahoo menuturkan bahwa telah menjadi prioritas mereka untuk melindungi anak-anak saat beraktivitas di dunia maya. Mereka memaparkan, telah membuat fitur online yang diperlukan untuk mewujudkan komitmennya itu, misalnya dengan filter penyaring untuk kata-kata tak senonoh. Adapun Google juga mengatakan hal yang hampir sama. [det]

HaRi AnTi-VaLeNtiNe SeDuNia DicaNanGkan di AcEh

Puluhan pelajar dari beberapa SMU di Banda Aceh yang tergabung dalam Moslem Teenager Community (MTC) membagi-bagikan selebaran berisi penolakan perayaan hari Valentine kepada para penguna jalan di Simpang Lima, Banda Aceh.

Aksi ini bertujuan untuk mengajak kaum muda Muslim di seluruh Tanah Air untuk menghindari perayaan yang bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam.

"Hari ini kami mencangkan sebagai Hari Anti-Valentine sedunia. Ini untuk menyadarkan kaum muda Muslim di Indonesia agar tidak mengikuti budaya yang tidak sesuai dengan ajaran agama. Apalagi bagi para muda-mudi di Aceh yang memang merupakan daerah bersyariat Islam," kata Faris Masri, salah seorang pelajar, di Banda Aceh, Rabu (13/02/2008).

Menurut Faris, Islam tidak pernah mengenal budaya seperti yang diperaktikkan di hari Valentine. Dirinya juga menganggap perayaan hari Valentine yang dilakukan kebanyakan kaum muda ini terjadi karena rendahnya pemahaman serta pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap Valentine itu sendiri.

"Di Romawi pada masa Kaisar Constantin, perayaan Valentine adalah untuk mengenang Uskup Valentine yang dihukum mati oleh raja karena menghalalkan zina. Selaku umat Muslim kita tidak pantas dan sangat berdosa bila merayakan hari pendeklarasian zina," tegasnya.

Pihaknya juga meminta perhatian dari pemerintah dan kaum ulama untuk mengeluarkan fatwa terhadap perayaan Valentine tersebut. Menurutnya, jika hal ini terus dibiarkan maka akan terus merusak akidah kaum generasi Islam.

"Kaum ulama harus memberikan pengarahan dan pemahaman kepada kami generasi muda, agar kami tidak salah langkah. Ini penting untuk menyelamatkan generasi Islam dari kerusakan moral dan akidah," ungkapnya. (okezone.com)

How to respond to the propaganda attack on Islam and the Shari'ah

The world's press of late has been full of coverage about the speech made by the British Archbishop where he spoke about the adoption of some aspects of Shari'ah law in Britain for Muslim minorities. This speech lead to a barrage of insults and attacks upon the Islamic Shari'ah, which placed many Muslims in Britain on the defensive. With the intense debate and discussion about Shari'ah, some of the Muslims have found it safer to defend Islam by distancing themselves from the rules of Islam or calling for an interpretation of Islam based upon Western standards. This article, adapted from the book 'A Warm Call from Hizb ut-Tahrir to the Muslims' addresses the age old intellectual onslaught on Islam and the need for Muslims to respond to this attack by displaying how Islam is in fact the solution to all human problems and at the same time challenging the Western ideology and its failure.

The struggle between the Islamic Ummah as one Ummah and the Kuffar as peoples and nations continued for thirteen consecutive centuries. The conflict between Islam as a Deen, her unique way of life and Kufr also continued throughout these past thirteen centuries. At the advent of the thirteenth century (nineteenth century CE), the Capitalist system, which is a system of Kufr, challenged the system of Islam in its thoughts and emotions. It was but a short round before the Muslims fell defeated. It was an intellectual blow that was followed by the destructive political subjugation.

However, Islam was not truly defeated and it will never be defeated, because it and it alone is the truth. How is it that Islam remains in the arena of conflict whilst its followers were defeated and they did not realise its position in the struggle? As for this challenge to Islam’s thoughts, it took place by attacking the Islamic thoughts through bringing extensive criticism and falsification against them. The Kafir nations confronted the ummah demanding solutions for new and diverse problems: Demanding their rules (Ahkaam) and the manner in which they would be solved. The position of the Muslims as regards to these two issues was one of utter weakness. They tried to retaliate but with failed and twisted attempts. The Muslims were demoralised which led to indifference.

A glaring challenge was thrown down to Islam by the systematic assault on its thoughts, rules and emotions. It would be natural, even inevitable, that the Muslims should have accepted this challenge, and plunged themselves into the intellectual battlefield with the Kuffar. It was rather obligatory on them to carry the initiative against Kufr and the Kuffar, because they are Da’wah carriers and people who convey a Message. However, the reality was that the Muslims weakened before the challenge in a manner that incited derision and ridicule of them, and covered them with shame and humiliation. So they came up with excuses for Islam regarding its rules on polygamy. They began to defend it by saying that polygamy can take place only in a situation of justice. They avoided the fact that Islam allows divorce and said that it does not allow it except within certain conditions. They accepted the accusations against the Islamic Khilafah and were silent over it, and they tried at the end of the Ottoman era to change its system. After its destruction, they avoided mentioning it or did not find the courage to mention it in public. They retreated concerning the issue of Jihad, and considered it an accusation thrown on Islam. So they responded to this accusation by saying Jihad is defensive war and not offensive.

In this manner they consented to what the Kuffar said and allowed Islam to stand accused. They proceeded to defend Islam in a way that can only be interpreted as a shocking defeat in the confrontation against the Kuffar. A direct consequence of this humiliation was that all the rules under attack were abandoned and the rules and thoughts of Capitalism took their place. As for the new issues and the problems that only occur in the Capitalist society, they interpreted Islam and distorted it in relation to them. They said that Islam holds the opinion of al-Massalih al-Mursalah (unqualified interests), thus the law of Allah agrees with man’s interests. They said that wisdom (al-Hikmah) is the lost property of the believer and he should take it wherever he finds it. Based on this, an attempt was made to reconcile the solution brought by the Capitalist system with Islam. They adopted it as Islam but Islam is immiscible with such ideas.

Studying Islam as a solution to problems
They did not study problems in order to derive solutions or to study the rules in the Kitab and Sunnah. Rather they adopted the West’s solutions to these problems wholeheartedly. Muslims then accepted them as Islamic solutions on the basis that Islam does not forbid them. Some adopted them on the basis of the opinion of al-Masaalih al-Mursalah as held by certain Imams, and not according to what the Qur’an and Hadith had brought. The Capitalist rules were therefore introduced by claiming them to be from Islam. It was inevitable that the laws in society and the societal transactions (Mu’amalat) of the Muslims would proceed without any regard for whether they were Islamic or not. Thus the Capitalist rules became established and Islam was forgotten. This facilitated the changing of the common emotions as long as it was easy to change the thoughts. Thus aversion to the strict adherence to the rules of Islam became widespread because the people considered it as religious fanaticism. Then the aversion moved to encompass the discrimination between the Muslims and the Kuffar, and between Islam and other religions. The concept of ‘nationalism’ came to stir the emotions and the Islamic zeal was buried. Thus, showing anger towards any attack on the Qur’an came to be seen as a sign of backwardness and decline. This is because, in their view, this assault constituted impartial scholarly research. With this the Islamic sentiments were wiped out. Nothing remained of the Islamic emotions except the priestly emotions, the emotions of worship. This was the shocking defeat that the Muslims faced before the Capitalist system’s contest with Islam.

As for the thoughts of Islam being the only true and correct thoughts, and the Capitalist aggressor’s thoughts being false and untrue, this is proven from the reality of the thoughts themselves. Thus, the Capitalist thoughts that consider polygamy a mistake, while considering it correct to restrict the man to one wife, are solutions applied to the reality of the human being and not some logical hypotheses. So where exists a society in the world, in which there is no more than one woman for a man? There is no society in the world where there aren’t at least some men who have more than one wife. However, some of them call their partners mistresses or girlfriends and some of them call them wives. Do the rules allowing polygamy, which leave the choice for a man to practise it or leave it, thus making the second, third or fourth woman a legally recognised wife and not a mistress or girlfriend, do they agree with the natural disposition (FiTrah) of man and address the problem? Or do the rules that prohibit polygamy agree with the natural disposition (FiTrah) of man and solve the problem? This is particularly when they remain silent at having relations with more than a woman illegally,. since it is not allowed more than one. Or is making the living together of spouses one of companionship and choice:

“either you retain her on reasonable terms or release her with kindness.” [TMQ 2:229].

He would keep her if living together in a state of happiness for both spouses or he would divorce her if living together is the cause of their misery; does this not accord with the happiness and tranquillity of the spouses? Or does the imposition of a forced life together, even if it causes the worst type of misery, achieve the happiness and tranquillity of the spouses.

Thus, the issue of explaining the validity of the Islamic Shari’ah and its suitability for people in every age and every generation requires one to ask: Is it revealed from Allah as a Shari’ah for people? Once this issue has been proven, then it is definite that it is the true Shari’ah. This is because one of the attributes of the deity, which is necessitated by the divine power, is to acquire the attribute of absolute perfection and the infallibility from any deficiency. It has been proven that His Law is correct and suitable in the form it has come; and it has also been proven that it has come for all people for all ages and for every generation; He (swt) said:

“And We have not sent you except to all of mankind” [TMQ 34:28],

“And Say: O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah” [TMQ 7:158].

It is inevitable that this Shari’ah should also be a source for thought from which all the human relationships would be deduced. It is also inevitable that it should be wide-ranging, thus including all new and diverse incidents. Then certainly it will be a fertile soil for establishing comprehensive principles and general thoughts. As long as it is for human beings as human beings, then it will undoubtedly solve the problems of all peoples however much they may differ in their nationality or environments. All of this is necessitated by the fact that it is a Shari’ah from Allah (swt), which He has revealed to His Prophet so that he may convey it to the people in order to act upon it. This is the issue regarding the Islamic Shari’ah, which is the speech of the Legislator relating to the actions of the servants, i.e. that it is a solution to all problems, which was revealed by Allah. So when He prohibited usury, one does not ask whether this prohibition is in agreement with the age or not, or whether it agrees with modern civilisation or not. The only thing to be asked is whether this prohibition has been deduced from what was revealed from Allah. If it is from the revelation then it is a correct rule, otherwise it is not. It is incorrect to say that this hinders trade dealings and severs economic relationships with the outside world and makes the country isolated. It is incorrect to say this, because the basis on which the viewpoint of life is established is to make the Shar’a the criterion for actions. Only the Shar’a should judge, i.e. the criterion should only be the Halal and the Haram.

Therefore anything other than the Shar’a is not considered a criterion and is discarded. Similarly, when Allah (swt) obliges the husband to pay maintenance (nafaqah) to his wife seemingly (Bil-Ma’aroof) even if she is rich, it is wrong to ask whether this obligation is in agreement with the modern age or not. It is wrong to say that the spouses co-operate in life so they must co-operate in the maintenance of the house. Nor is it right to say that the maintenance is for the poor wife and not for the wealthy one. Such questions and statements should not be made. Rather, one should only ask if this obligation has been deduced from what the revelation (wahy) has brought from Allah (swt). If that is the case, then the rule is correct, otherwise it is not. Similarly, Allah permitted the human being to spend his wealth on the permissible things as much as he wants and in whatever way he wants. So for example, a husband might buy his wife jewellery and gems worth half a million dinars; and he might spend one million dinars to set up different playgrounds for his children to play in, he might buy his ten sons seven cars each, so they can use one each day. Since Allah has permitted all this, it should not be said that it contradicts the economic interest or that it disagrees with the interest of the person, or that is not accepted by the mind. That should not be said at all, rather it should only be asked whether this permission has been deduced from what the revelation (wahy) has brought from Allah (swt). If that is so, then the rule is correct and so on and so forth. The fundamental issue is to measure the validity or invalidity of the rule, based on the fact that it is derived from what the revelation (wahy) has brought from Allah (swt). If it has been taken from what the revelation (wahy) has brought then it is valid, otherwise it is not. Any other consideration is of no value whatsoever.

DemoCracy VS IsLaM

By Shais

1. Introduction
2. Meaning of the words “democracy” and “Islam”
3. Is Democracy Compatible with Islam?
4. What does the Quran say?

1. Introduction


Lets now talk about the topic of “democracy” which Muslims are demanding today and what USA wants to restore in Pakistan.

Whether democracy and Islam are compatible or incompatible, I wouldn’t be giving my personal opinion but I’ll establish my point from the Quran and you be the judge.


2. Meaning of the words “democracy” and “Islam”


Democracy:

(i) government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.

(ii) American heritage dictionary : Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.

Though I can copy the meaning from more dictionaries but these will suffice. You can see more here.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/democracy

In short, democracy means “rule of the people”


Islam :

Islam comes from the Arabic word “Aslama” or “silm’ which means “to submit, to surrender and to obey” Allah (SWT) with sincerity and Peace and both these words can be found in the Quran

“Who can be better in religion than one who submits (Aslama) his whole self to Allah, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For Allah did take Abraham for a friend.” (Quran 4:125)

“O ye who believe! Enter into Islam (Silm) whole-heartedly;” (Quran 2:208)

“O ye who believe! Come, all of you, into submission (unto Him) (silm); and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy for you.” (Quran 2:208, Marmaduke Pickethall)

In short, Islam means “to submit your will to God”. One should do whatever God wants him to do.


3. Is democracy compatible with Islam?


As I mentioned that today Muslims are demanding democracy. I don’t actually have a low opinion of Muslims, but I feel they are ignorant either of what democracy is or what Islam is.

To say that Islam and democracy can go together is as similar to say “Kufr (blasphemy) and Eeman (faith) can go together”. It is as similar as to say “A human being can worship idols and still remain a Muslim”.

Democracy is “rule of the people”. It is people who decide what is halal and what is haraam. It is people who decide what is lawful and what is unlawful, by what law they should abide and by what laws they shouldn’t abide.

In short, the sovereignty belongs to people and NOT to Allah. In Islam, sovereignty belongs to Allah alone. People can pass any law they wish to. They can legalize anything they wish to.

Some time ago in the west, adultery was a crime. Then it became legalized and homosexuality was a crime. Then they legalized it and today it is a crime to condemn homosexuality.

The fallen evangelist Jimmy Swaggart had to apologize and take his words back when he joked and said this about gays during one of his sermons.

“this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men. … I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died."

Now is democracy compatible with Islam in any form, shape or size? Can anyone who denies and says that sovereignty shouldn’t belong to Allah and it should belong to human beings, be a Muslim?

Now lets see what the Quran says about it.


4. What does the Quran say?


“They (The Jews and Christians) take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah,” (Quran 9:31)

There used to be one Sahaba (companion) of the Prophet (pbuh) who used to be a Christian. He said that we did not use to worship our priests, we dint use to bow down in front of them. Then the Prophet (pbuh) went on to explain the meaning of this verse.

He said that did they not make lawful what Allah (SWT) made unlawful and did they not make it unlawful what Allah made lawful and he said “yes”. The prophet (pbuh) said that it was their worship of them.

In short, any human being who believes that some other human being has a right to legislate regardless of whether it goes against Allah or not then he has done the same thing what the Jews and Christians did and he has taken that person to be as a god along with Allah!

But do you want something simpler than that? I’ll give it to you.

Allah literally declares those people who say that Allah shouldn’t be soverign as “Kafirs (unbelievers), Zalim (Wrongdoers) and Fasiq (rebels)

“If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers.” (Quran 5:44)

“And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (No better than) wrong-doers.” (Quran 5:45)

“If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel.” (Quran 5:47)

It is also compulsory to judge by what Muhammad (pbuh) said.

“But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.” (Quran 4:65)

The best of judges is Allah (SWT). No human being has any right to legislate above the right of Allah (SWT). The Quran says


“But who, for a people whose faith is assured, can give better judgment than Allah.” (Quran 5:50)

“Is not Allah the wisest of judges?” (Quran 95:8)


Allah is questioning that is he not the wisest of judges? The answering is reposed in the question, the wisest of judges is indeed Allah.

So anyone who calls for democracy i.e.rule of people in which people can legislate anything regardless of whether it goes against Allah and his messenger (SAW) are indeed unbelievers according to the Quran and they are inviting people to disbelieve in Allah!!


The Quran says:

“It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path.” (Quran 33:36)


All those people who call for democracy are indeed on the wrong. They normally opt other options in matters which have been decided by Allah and his messenger (peace be upon him).

Any Muslim who says that Sharia law shouldn’t be there but instead democracy should be there says NO to Allah and yes to man-made laws which is indeed blasphemy!!

I rest my case. Any Muslim after reading this article will never demand democracy even if he/she has mustard seed of Eeman (faith).

AmEriKa SeMaKin TiDak AmAn

Sedikitnya 17 orang tewas dan beberapa lainnya cedera dalam berbagai insiden kekerasan di Amerika Serikat. Televisi Fox News melaporkan, seorang pria bersenjata di Los Angeles dalam sebuah aksi brutalnya membantai tiga orang di satu keluarga setelah memasuki rumah mereka. Insiden itu dilanjutkan dengan kontak tembak antara pria tersebut dengan polisi yang turun tangan. Insiden berakhir dengan tewasnya seorang polisi dan pria bersenjata.

Di Missouri, terjadi insiden penembakan yang menewaskan enam orang. Aksi penembakan terjadi dalam sidang dewan kota. Di Portsmouth Ohio, seorang lelaki bunuh diri setelah melukai istrinya dengan timah panas.

Di kota Chicago, seorang pencuri untuk mendapat 200 Dolar tega membunuh seorang perempuan dan melukai seorang lainnya. Polisi Federal AS dalam laporannya menyatakan menangkap 50 anggota sindikat penjahat di New York hari Kamis kemarin dengan tuduhan terlibat tindak kriminal pembunuhan dan pemerasan. Memburuknya kondisi perekonomian AS dan meningkatnya angka pengangguran di negara itu dinilai sebagai akibat dari peningkatan angka kejahatan dan tindak kriminal di AS.

Sebelumnya, April tahun 2007 lalu, Amerika juga dikagetkan dengan peristiwa penembakan 32 mahasiswa di Universitas Virginia Tech oleh Cho Sheng Hui.

Mei tahun 2007, seorang anak baru gede (ABG) berusia 14 tahun menembaki teman-teman sekolahnya di sebuah kondominium di Ohio. Empat korban mengalami luka berat, sedangkan tersangka tewas bunuh diri.

Bulan Desember di tahun yang sama, terjadi tiga insiden penembakan. Pertama terjadi di mall di Omaha, Nebraska sedangkan yang baru saja terjadi di pusat misionaris Kristen dan sebuah gereja di Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Yang mengejutkan, dari semua rangkaian kejadian tersebut memiliki benang merah. Semua pelaku penembakan adalah remaja yang cenderung bermasalah. [hid/ap]

NaBi MuHaMmAd Saw KeMbali DileCeHkan, NiGeria RuSuh

Siswa-siswa sekolah menengah pertama di Sumaila, 76 kilometer ke selatan dari ibukota Nigeria, Kano mengamuk setelah seorang siswa beragama Kristen yang sudah dua minggu ini diskors kembali masuk sekolah. Amuk siswa itu berubah menjadi kerusuhan yang menimbulkan korban jiwa.

Yang membuat para siswa marah, karena siswa beragama Kristen itu telah melakukan tindakan yang melecehkan Nabi Muhammad Saw. Siswa itu membuat karikatur Nabi Muhammad Saw dan menempelkannya di dinding sekolah. Meski akibat perbuatannya siswa tersebut sudah diskors selama dua minggu, namun para siswa lainnya tidak mau menerima kedatangan siswa pembuat karikatur itu kembali ke sekolah mereka. Jadilah mereka menumpahkan kemarahan yang menjalar menjadi insiden kerusuhan.

"Dua orang dan seorang inspektur polisi tewas dalam kerusuhan tersebut. Sementara sebuah pos polisi dan segala sesuatu yang berada di dalam pos polisi termasuk amunisi, dibakar oleh para perusuh, " ujar Kepala Polisi Kota Kano, Aminu Yesufu.

Selain tiga korban tewas, 20 orang lainnya, masih menurut keterangan Yesufu, mengalami luka serius termasuk seorang anggota polisi yang mengalami luka tusuk benda tajam di kepalanya.

Lebih lanjut Yesufu mengatakan, kepolisian telah menangkap 25 orang perusuh dan akan melakukan investigasi atas insiden ini.

"Para siswa mulai meneriakkan Allahu Akbar ketika siswa beragama Kristen itu kembali ke sekolah, mereka mengejar siswa itu untuk menghukum mati siswa tersebut, " tutur Sadiq Haruna, salah seorang guru sekolah.

Ia melanjutkan, "Siswa itu lari dan menyelamatkan diri ke sebuah pos polisi, tapi ratusan siswa Muslim yang marah menyerang dan mulai membakar ketika polisi menolak menyerahkan siswa tersebut." Sampai saat ini, belum diketahui, di mana keberadaan siswa Kristiani itu.

Insiden kerusuhan kemarin, merupakan insiden kerusuhan kedua di Nigeria, yang disebabkan oleh kasus penghinaan terhadap Nabi Muhammad Saw kemarin. Pada hari Kamis pekan sebelumnya, polisi menembak satu orang perusuh di kota Yana, negara bagian Bauchi. Kerusuhan dipicu oleh dugaan penghinaan Rasulullah oleh seorang perempuan Kristen

Menurut kepala kepolisian Bauchi, Adnan Tolman Gaya, polisi Yana melepaskan tembakan ke arah kerumuman massa untuk membubarkan massa yang sudah marah dan menyerukan agar perempuan yang melecehkan Rasulullah dihukum mati. Massa akhirnya juga membakar pos polisi Yana, karena tidak mau menyerahkan perempuan yang bersangkutan, yang bersembunyi di pos polisi itu. Perempuan yang dituduh melecehkan Nabi Muhammad Saw itu berhasil meloloskan diri tanpa terluka, ketika pos polisi dibakar.

Karena ada seorang pemuda Muslim yang tewas ditembak polisi dalam insiden tersebut, kerusuhan meluas. Perusuh menjarah rumah-rumah milik polisi dan toko-toko milik warga Kristen.Dalam peristiwa ini, polisi menangkap 44 orang.

Ketegangan antara warga Kristen dan Muslim, yang terkadang meluas menjadi aksi-aksi kekerasan, tergolong tinggi di Nigeria. Pada Februari 2006, terjadi kerusuhan serupa selama dua hari di sebelah tenggara kota Onitsha. Kerusuhan yang dipicu dari aksi protes terhadap kartun Nabi Muhammad Saw di Denmark itu menelan korban jiwa sebanyak 50 orang. (ln/aljz, Eramuslim)

a dream is born
a dream a capitalist never dreams of
in his material but untrue world
that is an immaterial dream dreamt on only by a believer
that leads to immaterial but satisfactory reality in hereafter

the dream is nowhere
but inside our faith
no highest dream of a believer
but only to meet the owner of his soul

to reach his dream
he'll climb the highest mountain
he'll make a profit-making trade with his Lord
He buys His faithful slave's world
and His slave will sell it all to Him
he'll dedicate his whole life for Him and deen
Allah won't take any benefit of his faith
but this man takes all of the whole world
i.e.His pleasure and rewards(heaven)

one will gain what he's going for
whenever he goes for his world,he'll gain it
but he'll be unlucky

HaMid KaRzai TaNpa MaLu-maLu NgaKu BoNeKa AS

Pada 26/01/08 Presiden Afghanistan Hamid Karzai saat berbicara dengan CNN berkata :
“The US administration has helped Afghanistan and if we are called puppets, or if I am called a puppet because we are grateful to

America, then let that be my nickname.”

(“Pemerintah AS telah menolong Afghanistan dan kalau kami dipanggil boneka, atau kalau saya dipanggil boneka kerana kami berterima kasih kepada Amerika, maka biarlah itu menjadi panggilan saya”)Karzai tanpa perasaan malu sedikitpun, menambahkan pujiannya kepada Amerika selaku tuannya selama ini. Katanya,

“Anyway, Americans have helped Afghanistan tremendously…The truth is that without the United States in Afghanistan, Afghanistan would be a very poor, miserable country…”

(“Bagaimanapun , Amerika telah menolong Afghanistan dengan tak terkira…Hakikatnya tanpa kehadiran Amerika di Afghanistan, Afghanistan akan menjadi negara yang miskin dan menderita…”)

Inilah pengakuan sebuah pengkhianatan yang nyata yang keluar dari mulut salah seorang pemimpin negeri Islam . Memang pengakuan Karzai bahwa dia agen Amerika bukannya satu kejutan, tetapi kenyataan (mykhilafah.com) .....

Pemimpin macam apa ini?inikah yang layak d sebut pemimpin rakyat afghanistan?bagaimana dengan pemimpin negeri muslim lainnya?Betapa hinanya pemimpin Islam yang sanggup mengaku boneka kuffar
