Understanding the jealous God

Okay, so whose laws do we follow?

Hence any good and true Muslim would not waver in the face of a mere jail sentence. Muslims of days gone by were tortured to death and they never wavered or changed their stance. Should you fear a…

So let’s remove the final shackle

We cannot on the one hand ask the Malays to break free and on the other hand shackle Malays under religion. We have to decide whether Malays should break free totally or not bother at all. And to…

You can never win, can you?

When Malays do not pray or fast, party all night long, drink, gamble, take bribes, give bribes, abuse their power, cheat in business, chase wealth, flaunt their wealth, do not pay their debts and…

The Ulama and the Sharia

The Ulama tell us that the Sharia is mandatory and to oppose it tantamount to defying God Himself. Is this true? Not all renowned Ulama agree with this notion. But the Ulama have the final say…

The Way

How can Satan be good when he is the Prince of Darkness? That is what most, if not all, of you will say. Well, Satan is good and brought us light because Satan helped God in His grand design. If…

Why the Bible can use Allah

So, my conclusion is, Christians (plus Jews) can use Allah as the name of God (in fact, MUST use Allah as the name of God) and hence there is no reason why the Bible cannot also use Allah as the…

Does Hudud really exist?

Most Muslims believe that Hudud, in particular the law on stoning adulteress women to death, was a law that was introduced by Prophet Muhammad. Actually it was not. This law was introduced by Umar…

Disputing Hudud would be just like disputing the Trinity or arguing that it is illogical that Jesus was the Son of God or that Jesus died and came back to life three days later. Since when do we…

When Malays adopt Chinese values

What happened along the way was that the Malays were told they must become wealthy to be successful. They were told they must copy the Chinese and become rich like the Chinese. So the Malays…

You are kafir, so what?

So, if the Qur’an came from God or Allah, as Muslims believe, then it is Allah that is calling non-Muslims kafir. So why get angry with the Muslims when God was the one who calls non-Muslims…
