Thank you Allah for giving me the chance to hear their voices again.
Thank you Miss Penggemar Buku (not her real name) , thank you for your call. Even though my skype microphone is not functioning well and you can't hear my voice in return, you still continue talking. It sure feels like talking to a mute person, right? Because, I do feel like I am a mute person myself! Haha.
Now I know how hard it is without the ability to speak.
Now I understand how it feels to not be able to speak.
Have you ever thought how difficult it is without the ability to speak?
See, if one ability is taken by God, life will be so difficult.
Just imagine one day when you open your eyes, you see everything is totally pitch black!
What are you going to do?
Won't life will be very difficult for you if you can't see anything?
So, let us be grateful for being able to see, speak and walk perfectly.
Let us always be grateful for the love and mercy that He has given to us, no matter how often we forget Him.
Remember, there are some who are not as lucky as we are.
Thus, be grateful!
Sabda Rasulullah SAW; "Kebaikan generasi pertama umat ini kerana adanya sifat syahid dan keimanan yang kuat, dan binasanya generasi akhir umat ini kerana adanya sifat bakhil dan byk berangan-angan".
Hate the sins, not the sinner.
Pandang setiap manusia dengan kata maca dakwah.
I often being told this.
And I believe, in Islam, we are taught to do the same.
And I believe, in Islam, we are taught to condemn the sins, and hate the sins but not the sinners.
But in most cases, most people tend to forget this thing. Not just Muslims, but most people tend to forget.
Be it only the small sins or big sins, people tend to hate the sinners, not the sins.
That is why people tend to forget that it is the sin that we must hate and fight against, not the sinner, for the sinner might repent and become a better person.
Remember, only God has the power to choose whom He favours.
Hidayah Allah itu milik Allah.
Of course, as a Muslim, with all my might and effort, I must help and continue helping all my Muslim brothers and sisters who suffer from the oppression and injustice in Gaza.
It is my responsibility to help those who share the same religion as mine.
I must help them, in any way that I can. I help them because of the bond that we share in Islam.
But, that doesn't mean if they are not Muslims, as a Muslim I must not do anything.
God teaches us to treat others fairly and with respect, no matter who they are.
Even Prophet Muhammad treated all the Arabs; which consist of many different groups with respect.
During those times, even Jews and Christians were given the freedom to practise their own religion and do their own business in Medina.
Islam never encourages war.
Islam encourages peace, and thus, Muslims are forbidden to attack the country if that country chooses to made a treaty with the Muslims.
But if the country chooses not to made any treaty or truce and likely to have a war, then, in this case, war seems to be inevitable.
What more if other country attacks and violates the Muslims first.
In this case, in terms of defending the country and its own citizens, then war is inavoidable.
That were the reasons why wars occured during that time, during the Era of Khulafa', Bani Umaiyah, Abbasiyah and Uthmaniyah.
And only with that very same reasons, Muslims must stand united and fight.
That is why in this Palestine's case and Gaza, Muslims are together to help.
It's our responsibility to help and fight for our Muslim brothers and sisters, and it is also our responsibility to help those who are not Muslims in the land of Gaza.
This has to do with our love, our responsibility and our sense of humanity.
That is why I condemn the Israeli attacks on the humanitarian aid by Flotilla.
I totally condemn the attacks.
I feel that the Israeli army who are involved should not do so, as Flotilla only tries to bring in the humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza. They are there to help. That is why they should not be attacked.
Besides, I also condemn the Israeli army's attacks on innocent people and the destruction that they made in Palestine, in which I find that it is totally inhuman and unfair.
If you think I condemn them only because they attack the Muslims, you are wrong.
There are not just Muslims in Palestine, there are also Christians and many other people with different beliefs in Palestine. I condemn them because they attack innocent people; in other words, they attack the humanity.
I condemn them for their injustice.
I condemn the injustice and the sins that they do.
I hate such actions and sins.
But that doesn't mean I hate all the Jews, for not all Jews do that. Not all the Jews think and feel that those attacks are necessary. There are also Jews who condemn such violence and fight for humanity.
Well, they are also Jews. But in this case, are they the same as those Israeli's army that is also known as the Zionists?
If we Muslims think that all the Jews are the same and put them under the same category, we are just the same as those who label all Muslims as terrorists.
And if you show the world your hatred and prejudice towards the whole Jews without any reasons, it will bring a negative image on Islam and Muslims.
How can we ask other religions or races to respect Islam if we Muslims hate Jews?
Remember, not all Jews are Zionists.
We Muslims hate the sins and the destructions that these Zionists do and intend to do, not simply because they are Jews.
We fight to stop all these destructions and violence. We want peace and justice.
If you really hate the Jews, then what about Moses (Nabi Musa)? David (Nabi Daud)? And Solomon (Nabi Sulaiman)?
They are the Jews; mereka adalah Nabi-nabi dari keturunan Bani Israel, and yet they are the messengers from God.
Besides, the Jews that are condemned in Al-Quran are those who break Allah's rules and those who are at war against Islam and Muslims. They are also those who are mentioned in Al-Quran as the ones who made destructions and violence on the earth.
They are condemned for the sins and the destructions that they made.
However, for the Jews who don't do such things, they are treated fairly by Prophet Muhammad.
See the difference?
We Muslims know that we are not terrorists.
No matter what others say, we Muslims know how beautiful Islam is.
No matter what, we respect others.
We all know how powerful God is.
We all know how true His promise is.
Let us pray for peace; pray for what is the best for us.
We often forget that God is always with the righteous ones.
Take this Palestinian issues and Gaza incidents as lessons.
Lessons for us to always turn to Him.
Lessons for us to always believe in Him.
Believe in Him, for He knows.
Believe me, He knows.

" Saya tak boleh buat apa-apa. Saya boleh doa sahaja." Ketahuilah, anda telah berbohong.Hakikatnya, berusaha mengubah diri dan masyarakat itu sendiri adalah bantuan kepada saudara kita di Gaza."
