Put Hopes Only On Islam!

– On 20th October 2010, it was exactly one year that
SBY-Boediono are at helm of the Indonesian government. Many
parties are disappointed with SBY-Boediono's pace of work and
think that the government has failed. Whereas, the people have
put high hopes on SBY-Boediono, that they would be able to
provide prosperity to them. Therefore, to whom should we put
our hopes on?
Shari’a Of Islam, The Only Solution
Indeed, whoever is leading this country, as long as the
imposed system is not the system of Islamic Shari’a,
then he will be met with failures. This is because, the
Shari’a of Islam is the one and only solution for the
multi-dimensional crisis in this country. No other. Thereupon,
the ummah must put their hopes only on Islam!
Indeed, Umar bin Khattab RA as a great companion of Prophet
Muhammad SAW, said about the haq (truth), in his
words he said:
“We are a people whom Allah
has given honour with Islam and if we look for other honour
beside Islam, then Allah will humiliate us.”
(Hayyat us Sahabbah and Usud
ul Ghaab by Ibnu Katsir)
The meaning of this hadith is, there is no honour, strength,
power, glory, respect or dignity except in Islam. And whoever
is looking for honour, dignity and respect from others beside
Islam, then Allah will humiliate and embarrass him in the life
of this world and in the hereafter.
The people of faith (Muslims) have a special privilege, the
greatest honor and glory, namely that they can see the face of
God in paradise (Insha Allah). As for those who do
not have faith (the non Muslims) and the munafiqs
(people who lie in declaring themselves as Muslims) will never
be able to see Allah and they will not be able to walk with
their faces up on judgment day which will cause them to be
thrown into the raging flames of hell, where they will stay
forever.
Yet, those who do not have faith and the munafiqs are
not aware of this legitimate fact and they do not believe it.
This is because of their kufr (denying and not
believing in Allah and in what Allah has sent down) which will
be the cause of their humiliation and it is their actions that
hinder/impede them from the truth.
Throw Away The Toxic Waste Of Democracy
Too bad, it is very saddening to see the Islamic ummah
in the West (as well as in the East) seeking honour, respect
and dignity from the kafirs, although they
acknowledge that the greatest power belongs to Allah SWT
alone. A few years back, and later, we saw thousands (or maybe
even millions) of Muslims participating in the voting and
general election to choose the law makers, namely the people
who distort the purity of the power of Allah in terms of
making law (which is the sole right of Allah). And also today,
in the election at a lower level such as in the election for
regional governors, district heads, etc.
People who think they are Muslims after passing a few years,
and they hoped that there would be ‘changes’ after they did
the voting, have been ignoring the hadith of Prophet Muhammad
SAW which states that:
“The believers are not stung
from the same hole twice.”
After voting for the members of the Council and Conservative
Body and then believing in their false promises and lies, they
are at the same place year after year to participate in the
general election.
Those people who call themselves Muslims are again in the
place to vote for a new party and its false leaders. Such a
strange thing! How is a voting in the general election this
time different from the previous voting for other kufr
in the form of a democratic party such as members of the
Council or Conservative Body? Whereas, they all have the same
agenda, which in the end give rise to a governance which
follows the laws according to the human carnal desires and a
corrupt ideology (democracy).
Allah SWT, on many occasions, has humiliated the people who
called themselves Muslim and those who ascribe partners to
Allah SWT, such as the sex scandals and corruptions committed
by those ‘respected’ members of the council. They also often
organize celebrations or parties which contain all forms of
deviation from the law of Allah i.e. all of which are
prohibited, such as promiscuity, fornication, boozing,
displaying of the awrah (nudity), swearing by other
names beside Allah and many other corrupt acts. Those various
'attractive' programs only reflect the lowly akhlaq
of those people who are seeking fame in a very real sense.
Can The Ummah Still Trust Them?
They, the people who embrace the system of democracy and
reject the implementation of Islamic shari'a, are the
people who have no honour, dignity or glory and can only be
described as beasts. In fact, not a few of those whom they
champion as legislative candidates in the election are the
people who are most obviously enemies of Islam, they are
always fighting against Islam and the Mujahideen, refusing to
apply the Shari’a and are pleased with the kufr
laws in their midst.
So, how is it possible that a party which claims to be acting
in the name of Islamic party, or the activists who also claim
to be the strugglers of the Shari’a and Khilafah,
want to sit together, let alone expect the candidates who are
against Islam to implement the Shari’a of Islam.
Indeed, it's like “erecting a wet yarn” (an expression
denoting impossibility – ed.)
Well, the question is, are the Muslims going to be pleased
when it is these kuffar whom they take as 'God'
besides Allah SWT??? Is it these beasts whom they elect to be
the companions of the believers??? Are these beasts the people
whom they elect to represent them in this dunya and
the akhira later??? Are these beasts the people whom
they campaign for and call to other Muslims to choose them
too??? Is it these beasts whom they appoint as their leaders
and liberators of the Muslim lands which today are occupied by
the kafir Jews and Christian??? Are these beasts the
people whom they said as embracing the Muslims??? How many
promises have they fulfilled??? Which war have they stopped???
How many Muslims and Mujahideen have they slaughtered???
O Islamic ummah…! Make this as a lesson for us all,
honour, dugnity and glory can only be found and acquired from
Allah SWT and the way of life that He (Allah SWT) has chosen
for mankind, namely Islam.
Whoever looks for ‘izzah (honor) from the kafir
or from their way of life, he would only be humiliated and
abased by Allah in the life of this world and the hereafter.
“But honour belongs to Allah
and His Messenger, and to the Believers; but the Hypocrites
know not.” (QS Al
Munaafiqun (8)
“Yea, to those who take for
friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honour they
seek among them? Nay,- all honour is with Allah.”
(QS An Nisaa : 139)
