A Story Told By Our Doctor Upon Her Return From Maluku
Muharram 09, 1432 A.H, Thursday, December 16, 2010
This is another narration about the
barbaric Christian aggression against Muslims in Indonesia's Maluku and the
ensuing Jihad that it ignited. Though written 7 years ago, yet it still applies
and is full of lessons for us in treading the path of our current da'wah
and jihad.
Description:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise be to
Allah, the All-Knowing and All-Wise.
For our mutual contemplation, those who are still hostile to fellow Muslims only
because of differences in opinions. Maybe only when a similar incident happens
that the Malay people in Malaysia would want to unite.
Till then.

Bismillahirahmanirahim...
Assalamualaikum all,
Alhamdulillah, Karen & I have just returned home last night. Azhar,
Insha Allah, will arrive tomorrow and followed by Wan Hazmy and Al-Amin.
None of us had thought that it had been too far and too difficult to get there
and we had the chance of trying almost everything, the jet plane, small plane,
boat, ship, 4WD vehicle, etc.
Brothers and sisters, the war in Maluku (or Moluccas - ed) is currently flaring
up and when I am writing this, I figure that the Mujahideen are conducting
attacks in Ambon and North Halmahera. It is the real jihad in the full meaning
of the word. Frankly speaking, I was initially somewhat sceptical because too
little was written in the newspapers.
But now I realize and I have come home with a mandate from the people of Maluku
to spread the correct information in respect of the war that happened there. If
you think Kosova is extreme, try to imagine being in an area which is worse than
that. This is a war that was sparked and initiated by a international
conspiracy.
Geographically, it is likely that after the fall of East Timor into the hands of
the Christian, Maluku, Sulawesi and if we are not careful, East Malaysia will
also follow suit. This will create a buffer for the country like Australia and
the West.
This war started with a call from the Grand Priest of Maluku to eradicate the
Muslims and banish Islam out of Maluku, where the populations are 50-50% Muslims
- Christians. The Muslims in Maluku are considerate people unlike the Malays in
Malaysia. They had never thought that this thing would happen. They had never
expected that they would be attacked on 'Eidul Fitri in 1999. They had
never imagined that they would be burned alive while in the middle of performing
the taraweeh prayer during last Ramadhan.
Try to imagine an area with tens of thousands of Muslim people being killed. Not
only killed, but their heads are chopped off, organs mutilated, etc. Then the
flesh were shredded, hearts taken out and eaten or powderised to make bullets
powder mixture.
Try to imagine the women being raped in the Masjid by the terrorists including
their priests who later commented "the skin of these female Muslims feel
tasty" in front of the families who waited for their turn to be killed.
Their breasts were cut off and thrown like playing a frisbee game, whereas they
were laying in agony awaiting the final blow that would finish their lives.
Imagine an Imam who was murdered and buried, in which when the ground was
excavated again, it was found that his genital was cut off and his mouth was
stuffed with raw pork meat. The earth shook and only the will of Allah prevented
them from going further.
Imagine the children with dirty faces and mucus flowing from the nose on their
dry faces, as well as being neglected, holding your hands and whining
"Ma'am... hungry ma'am... have not eaten for 3 days ma'am..." Imagine the
foods that only contain plain rice and if fared well, with a side dish of
indomie (local brand of instant noodles - ed) soup or if really
'luxuriant', with a little piece of tuna.
Imagine the fearless Mujahids who walked with arrows and spears thrusted to
their shoulders, arms and legs without any feeling of despair or crying but the
utterance of the kalimah "Allahu Akbar" on their lips.
Imagine the eight-year-old boy who fought for Allah and when asked, he answered
"no use of living... they are trampling on our sacred religion..."
Imagine the thousands of evacuees who arrived on the coast of Ternate with
gunny sacks full of their belongings and if they are lucky, they could sleep on
the stairs of the crowded masjid and other places of refuge.
Imagine the thousands of evacuees huddling together inside the cloves drying
warehouse. The air inside was hot and stifling. Some children with high fever
were lying on the pieces of hardwood that they call home now.
Imagine the sick and injured being treated on the floor of the masjid
and makeshift structures where the walls were breaking apart, supported by
bicycle parts and iron piles driven into the ground. Wounds were bandaged with
honey and cloth (by the will of Allah, the wounds were healed and jointure of
bones took place).
Imagine the Christian doctors, who, in the few years which had passed, have been
making their life's mission to kill Muslim newborns or conduct caesarean
operation in order to stunt the growing numbers of the Islamic ummah.
Imagine all these O Brothers and Sisters. This is what we experienced and heard.
It looked like there was too little that we could offer but alhamdulillah,
our presence itself had been enough to give them peacefulness. We look almost
alike. Speaking the languages which are almost alike and we worship the same
God. They want us to bring back with us the counterbalanced news and present the
story of a ferocious war to you all and the entire Islamic ummah in
this world.
The money that we had collected were used for paying the advance money to buy a
good house, to be made as a health centre for treating the Mujahideen, as well
as the refugees. When I am writing this, Wan Hazmy and Al-Amin are surely busy
moving into the building and setting up the preparation to receive the patients.
Also when I am writing this, the Islamic forces are entering and taking over the
territory in Ambon and North Halmahera.
Trust me, this is not a war about territories or nations/races. This is a true
jihad against the enemies of Allah. Not even one person whom we met, talked
about their properties which they had lost but they talked about a war which is
against Islam.
They need our help. They need the money and also the efforts, expertise and
do'a. Please help us to help them. We are in need of surgery experts
especially Orthopaedic surgeons. We need to form a squad. The centre is in
Ternate Island, it is 100% Muslim and safe. Insha Allah.
It is a beautiful island and the breakwater (jetty) is like an aquarium with
clear water and colorful fish underneath. Please contact Azhar, myself or Zaleha
in order to offer your service. We feel the priority is to look after the
Mujahideen due to our expertise in medical. If you feel scared, remember that
the time of our death has been written, not a moment sooner and not a moment
later. Indeed, to die for jihad in the cause of Allah is the best death.
Wassalam.
