Syariah Court Must Address Woes of The "First Wives" -Hasena

I'm a recently-divorced mother of two girls. For over 6 years in my almost two decades old marriage, I was forced into polygamy against my will with my own friend whom I, in good faith, comforted and supported during her own divorce. Unfortunately dogs sometimes bite the hands of the good samaritan. And I was bitten badly. A husband who was very responsible and loving, and caring for me and my kids, turned into a total stranger. There was no longer the emotional bond and support that held our marriage together for the polygamy to work out since all his affections had turned to this other woman. It was impossible for me to stay in a union where I turned into the third party, effectively pushed out by this "friend". Having given up my career to bring up my kids, I now face extreme difficulty in rebuilding my life and in my financial situation, but it is something I have to do, day by day and I have no option to fail. When marriage breakdown is caused by the husband's betrayal, it is the woman who has to go up and down the courts to disengage herself from a dead situation. I had to fork out legal fees to extricate myself from the marriage, and now I have to face four other issues still unresolved: Child support, compensation, child custody, mutual assets. Each needs different legal applications and is extremely time consuming. The ex-husband has the option of just washing his hands, and the onus is on the ex-wife, struggling to keep her kids together without a father's love and guidance, struggling to rebuild her finances while dealing with her loss and emotional backlash of a broken marriage. She has to engage a lawyer or go through the sulh process through the courts on her own. More time and effort needed from an already drained woman. Irresponsible men, upon divorce, have the tendency to totally wash their hands off the kids' well-being and needs. This was the warning given to me and this has of course proven true. Not content with making the mother of his kids feel like a beggar asking for what is theirs, his financial obligations towards their well-being and growth (school, food, tuition fees, books, recreation etc, ), the new wife proceeds to insult the ex-wife by telling her to "sell herself" to feed the kids. This is the reality of the single mother. The reality of first wives in polygamous marriages not performed in accordance with Islam. Islam is a beautiful religion, with emphasis on fairness. The Qur'an says: Marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with them, then only one or one that your right hands possess.  That will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice. (Qur'an 4:3) You will never be able to deal justly between wives however much you desire (to do so).  But (if you have more than one wife) do not turn altogether away (from one), leaving her in suspense...(Qur'an 4:129) Yet, Muslim men in Malaysia tend to only jump on the permission given to take four wives, without caring for the huge responsibilities and duties incumbent upon them due to their wives and kids. And they tend to turn away emotionally and physically from the first, leaving them "in suspense" as Allah put it, neither loved nor released. Imprisoned. After being imprisoned for years despite being a good, loyal wife and mother whose life revolved around her family (a respectable choice, despite what feminists might say and I would certainly do it again), I am now still being bound by laws which put the burden on women and let the men off scot free. Something is really wrong if breaking up and abandoning families and marriage is not a crime. I really believe there should be a law in the Syariah that allows the first wives/ex-wives to seek compensation from women who willfully and gleefully participate in breaking up marriage and families. I will the first to seek redress from the woman who left my kids without a father and got him to be a surrogate father to her own adopted kids, which involved baby trafficking, but that is another issue for another time. Of course the man is to blame equally for his lack of foresight and care of the consequences on his own children, his own family, but the third party should not be let off scot free, knowing full well the result of her actions. What am I getting at here? The injustice of it all. The fact that marriage costs nothing in the end. It has to amount to something, at least some proper monetary value and redress to enable the ones who have to pick up the pieces start over again. Infidelity and betrayal is not something "intangible". It causes just as much damage as being hit by a reckless driver. One does not jointly bring kids into this world and then make them orphans when their father is still alive.

Malaysians Voice.

'The judge refused to make available to the defence what it was inherently entitled to. Worse, he threatened the defence counsel for standing his ground.'

Recusal bid 'frivolous and vexatious'

Kgen: If the recusal bid is 'frivolous and vexatious', what do you call the dogmatic refusal by the prosecution to hand over the medical notes as required by law for Anwar Ibrahim's defence? How about 'disgusting and disreputable' or 'bizzare and unjust?'

This is nothing more than a parody of justice, a kangaroo court and a mockery of the judicial process. That Malaysia can indulge in this mock trial that would make Stalin and Hitler proud under the full glare of the world show that Umno has descended into uncivilised barbarians.

Md Imraz Muhammed Ikhbal: The cat is out of the bag. So now we know why in a twist of events which defies the clear pattern of bias thus far, that judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah surprisingly granted the defence access to the pro-forma form despite being opposed to the request all along.

This serves a two-pronged purpose. The first is to justify not citing the prosecution's witness for contempt because the "world is watching".

Secondly, it is to provide the only grounds for the prosecution to assert that the clearly biased judge is unbiased and actually impartial and therefore should continue orchestrating this judicial charade.

That way, everything appears lawful. (So they think!). Again, because the world is watching!

Chi Ted Fatt: Is it right or proper for either the prosecution or defence team to defend a judge? Shouldn't the judge defend himself? In any case, if there is any hint by either team that the judge is being biased, the judge should automatically recuse himself so as to give a semblance of fairness to either party. Or not?

Dennis Madden: The whole Sodomy II fiasco is seen as vexatious and frivolous. Just watch the FDI figures as Umno and its puppets in the legal profession struggle to maintain their egos and their power base. You sure have to be proud to be a Malaysian... and admit it.

Tok Janggut: This court case is actually not between Anwar and Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan but rather between the two lawyers. It is a competition on who can twist and turn the law, finding all the loopholes in the system and try to use them to one's advantage.

DOC: Why so much of drama? The question on the rakyat's mind is when the Umno-run judiciary will be delivering the 'guilty' verdict and send Anwar to prison.

With Anwar behind bars; Umno hopes to crush the opposition, PKR hopes to rejuvenate themselves in the public's eyes after a series of political blunders by playing the "we are oppressed" card, Anwar hopes to be the next "jailed freedom fighter" with the prospects winning a Nobel peace prize and garnering international support. After all, the world needs a new hero especially now that Aung Sang Syu Kyi has been released by the Burmese junta.

The opposition hopes that with Anwar behind bars, the undecided, sympathising and angry voters will vote Pakatan Rakyat in the coming GE.

Vijay: Considering the environment and attitudes within which the Malaysian prosecution forces work, it is no surprise that DPP Hanafiah Zakaria should describe a man's anguish for a fair trial as "frivolous".

What is frightening however, is his warped sense of reasoning and understanding of facts. His twisted logic is that the defence's bid to recluse is due to an unfavourable decision. It is not. It is due to the fact that all precedence and even a minute concern for justice has been discarded.

The judge refused to make available to the defence what it was inherently entitled to. Worse, he threatened the defence counsel for standing his ground. If the decision to now allow the request for the reports is seen as unbiased, does it not prove that his earlier stand was not?

The judge buckled only because he feared being viewed with even greater contempt than he already is. Sorry, Yang Arif Zabidin, you are no Solomon. Or in keeping with the National Language Act, should that be Sulaiman?

Changeagent: Very well argued, Hanafiah (not!). I think you have fully convinced judge Zabidin not to recuse himself.

Sodomy II: Judge sets Dec 6 for decision on recusal bid

Yobama: We all can predict the outcome of the judge's decision, because he is his own judge - 'bersaksi kelutut' as the Malays call it.

Where on earth do you have this sort of situation? A person sitting as judge to judge himself; i.e. whether he should continue to judge the case or give it to someone else. He has been asigned to this case by his 'bosses' and was given a mission to finish off DSAI (Anwar Ibrahim) because the latter poses such a huge threat to Najib Razak, who has declared that he must 'defend Putrajaya' at all costs.

The BN thinks it is Umno's birthright from the time of Merdeka to govern the country. Any other party will spell disaster for a lot people. Imagine the need for complete overhaul if another force takes over Putrajaya.

The courts will have to be reconstituted, and the present Umno-appointed judge will be the first casualty. The police, the MACC, the EC, etc. will also be under review. No prize for guessing the outcome of the defense's request for the judge to recuse himself.

UpYours: Why take so long to make a decision? Sometimes is amiss here?

Malaysians Say.

'Not only Malaysians are watching, the whole world is watching how this sodomy case is being conducted. With Internet, news spreads instantly.'

Court hears defence's bid to disqualify judge

Anonymous: The court of justice should remain a court where justice is not impaired by bias or prejudice, whether overt or covert.

Not only Malaysians are watching, the whole world is watching how the sodomy case involving Anwar Ibrahim is being conducted. With Internet, news spreads instantly; and those in the judiciary must practise impartiality. We simply cannot afford to be blind.

P Dev Anand Pillai: Although the defence is trying its best, the plan against Anwar has been executed. Umno and its followers are not bothered about the law as they are above the law. Nothing will change as long as we have a staunch Umno stalwart as the head of the judiciary.

It is the Umno's courts. That is what MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP have allowed them to do and yet these parties have the gall to tell the people to vote for this regime. So whether the world is watching or not and whether it is a contravention of the Judges Code of Ethics Act 2009, the judge and the judiciary will not be bothered.

They know that Karpal Singh will appeal and they would have prepared a quorum of judges by now who will throw out the appeal. So folks, only a mass-scale rebellion will be the answer, till then they do not care two hoots on whether the rakyat live or die.

Rolls-Royce: We so often talk about legal principles and rules of natural justice - the right to be heard and that the adjudicating or the presiding authority must be impartial.

This is where I find most confusing. If you have complaints against the police, you go to the police to make a report against the police. If you are not happy with a judge you go to him/her to apply for him/her to recuse or to disqualify oneself.

I am not a lawyer, but is this oxymoron?

By Election Fan: I just wonder how many of our judges from the High Court to the Federal Court is living up to the values and true spirit of judicial independence. Don't they have the sense of duty to uphold the law and the constitution, and to protect the country from being ruined by the corrupted regime.

Md Imraz Muhammed Ikhbal: Forgive me for being a layman on matters of law but I find it totally ridiculous and absolutely nonsensical to be expecting a judge to make an unbiased decision that concurs with the fact that he is actually biased and should therefore recuse himself.

Which biased person of sound mind on the planet would ever concur that he is biased? Wasn't this motion put forth at the earlier stage of the case and judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah denied that he was biased and insisted that he would continue to preside the case? So why would it be different this time?

More importantly, why the need for extra time to deliver the decision on whether to recuse himself? It takes no Einstein to figure, judge Zabidin needs the legally savvy con expert who is currently ill to get better and thereupon cook up some form of legal justification that is not so nonsensical to those feeble-minded Malaysians who still refuse to see that this entire trial is no more than a judicial sham and a charade to mask this blatant atrocity of justice.

Maitreya: Everybody is sick and tired of this ridiculous farce. Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan is businesswoman Mumtaz Jaafar's godson and Mumtaz is Rosmah's business associate.

Saiful has declared in open court that he conferred with Rosmah and Najib Razak - and then Musa Hassan's assistant Rodwan Mohd Yusof - before lodging a police report against Anwar.

And yet the prosecution, under the AG's instruction, proceeds with full force to jail Anwar as if murder and mayhem have been committed. Obscene.

Not Confused: Yes, another day in this tiresome farce. I agree that Karpal Singh and Anwar should explore every avenue to get justice (and that justice is seen to be done), but I fear that it will all be a waste of their time. The judge will never recuse himself.

Wira: It is not easy for any defence lawyer to argue in front of a biased judge. I salute YB Karpal for his gallant effort.

Anyway, I suspect that the reason why they 'masuk chamber' so many times during this trial is to avoid the embarrassment like in that MACC/Teoh Beng Hock case where someone can utter, in confounded desperation when cornered, that a dead body is heavier than a living one and then try a strangulation of himself using his own hands.

Keanjin: Will a new judge make any difference to this high-profile case? Who will make the final judgment? We know the answer. If you don't, ask Lim Guan Eng!

Confushius: I warned the wild life smuggler not to sneak in kangaroos. A few have escaped and gone feral. Funnily enough, you can see herds of them hopping around the compounds of our courts. Animal Planet should investigate this strange behaviour.


The world is watching Sodomy II, reminds Karpal

Cala: By Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah's own conduct in Sodomy II, he has failed miserably as a judge where fairness is expected from him. I wonder how he can resurrect himself to continue with the trial when all forms of norms have been ignored. The only honourable thing for him to do is indeed to bow out of the trial.

JBGuy: Some commentators here think Anwar is guilty as charged. Well, either they must have wax for brains or they prefer to buy the propaganda from the government. If the government is so sure of his guilt then let all evidence be accessible to the defence.

Why is the prosecution and their witnesses, including the impartial judge, are all so keen to hide the evidence from the defence?

True, sodomy is a matter between God and the individual, but since the government is willing to spend millions on it, it makes one wonder if the well-being of the rakyat is secondary to the government.

Who should go Dato' Sri Anwar or Dr. Asri ?

Reading Harakahdaily's report on November 1 about the former Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin's view that an opposition without the "veterans" would ensure a more "viable" opposition, I could not help but wonder whether there are any honest, non-partisan leaders left in this country. I am no fan of Anwar Ibrahim. Alas, I have many other candidates for prime minister. As much as I detest his politics, like Asri, I do not think he should be retiring simply because he failed to excite the young Asri and to give something different everyday to the Malaysian audience. Asri seems to be targetting solely on Anwar, and this personal hatred of Anwar seems to have failed to be concealed within the 'careful' arrangement of polite terminology that accompanied the remarks. Asri, for one, has failed to name many other so-called 'veterans', but singled out Anwar. Why? Surely, even for cosmetic sake, one could throw a few more names? Asri is entitled to his personal views about anyone. If Asri thinks that the opposition supporters should applaud him over whatever he says, then Asri is bordering on naivety. This is especially so when one appreciates the fact that Asri himself is no angel when it comes to political objectivity. And thinking further, I dare say that this has got something to do with his special relationship with Dr Mahathir Mohamad, for whom Asri holds in high regard. This brings a question: has Asri ever spoken out against the sodomy allegations involving Anwar? What does Asri, as an ordinary Muslim - never mind whether he is a former Mufti or an Islamic PhD holder - think about this whole sodomy saga? Why I am asking this is because anyone with an inkling of doubt about Anwar's innocence in this whole saga would definitely not want Anwar in the opposition or in government. And to me, anyone who doubts Anwar's innocence despite all the idiotic things going in the courtroom, should re-examine his or her faith. Otherwise, I fail to understand why Anwar's seniority and "veteranship" in politics - the reason given by Asri - must be an excuse for him to depart from the political scene.

Raja Lawak - Hakim Zabidin.

Anwar, dalam affidavit sokongannya mendakwa hakim mengugut untuk menakut-nakutkannya.

Menurut Karpal anak guamnya bimbang mengenai keputusan berat sebelah meskipun Zabidin telah menarik semula kenyataannya.

Hakim: Apa yang anda perkatakan boleh ditakris sebagai hina mahkamah.

Karpal: Isu hina mahkamah tak timbul kerana saya mesti jaga kepentingan anak guam saya.

Hakim: Kes (peguam) Zainur Zakaria adalah jelas.

Karpal: Ugutan hina mahkamah tidak wajar. Anda mesti lihat secara objektif. Untuk mengugut kami pada peringkat ini sebelum memfailkan permohonan tak betul.

Hakim: Saya tidak kata 'contempt'.

Karpal: Untuk menakutkan peguam adalah perkara yang serius. Untuk tuduhan 'contempt' juga tak wajar. Kita ada tanggungjawab terhadap anak guam. Ini adalah ugutan hina mahkamah yang Yang Arif mesti tarik balik.

Hakim: Okay, Saya tarik balik.

Karpal: Adalah tidak wajar bagi Yang Arif berkata demikian.

Hakim: Okay! Okay! Ia tak wajar.
Mahkamah kemudiannya terpaksa menangguhkan perbicaraan sehingga pagi esok bagi memberi laluan kepada permohonan peguambela mengugurkan hakim Zabidin.

What "1Malaysia" say about Malaysian Court ?

Anonymous: Anwar Ibrahim's appeal was dismissed by Court of Appeal judge Abdul Malik Ishak solely because the appeal documents were not in Bahasa, but Malik's own judgment for this ruling was written in English.

Anwar appealed against this ruling to nullify Malik's judgment because it was not in Bahasa, but the Federal Court ruled today that Malik's judgment can be in Bahasa because the judges have wide discretions to do this.

You mean the judges are not bound by the National Language Act? They can speak and use English or Bahasa but we, the rakyat, must use only Bahasa? How to win cases against the ruling elites in Malaysia courts? Bar Council, shame on you for not speaking up.

P Dev Anand Pillai: First the judiciary said that Anwar's appeal was filed in English so it was not valid as it must be in Bahasa Malaysia. Then the judgment for that appeal was given in English. Now it doesn't matter whether it was in English or BM, the courts have the final discretion.

First they talked about the supremacy of BM in the federal constitution, but they forget that they call themselves United Malays National Organisation (Umno).

Well, it will not be a surprise if Utusan Malaysia does not shout and rant on this issue although they are the saviours of our national language. They will have to keep mum on this as it is their very own Malay judges who prefer to write in English instead of Malay.

The judiciary is beyond redemption - only a full-scale rebellion by the masses will put an end to this rot. But knowing our dumb electorate, they will continue to vote for these people again and again. Therefore, the dumb get dumber.

Tailek: Anwar Ibrahim cases are setting all sorts of new judicial precedents for all the wrong reasons. When the opposition wants to apply these same precedents to aid their case, the court shoots it down.

There is no level-playing field in the court as far as Anwar or Pakatan Rakyat is concerned. I think many Malaysians feel that our justice system has deteriorated to the point of no return.

Phra Ong Chao: Anwar's lawyers file papers in English - 'tak boleh'. Judges who ruled that English 'tak boleh' wrote the judgment in English - 'boleh, pula'. Conclusion: Malaysia really 'boleh'.

Ranjit Singh: The cognitive process of reaching a decision or drawing conclusions relates to facts and evidence, not the language. Man-made law is of no substance when it does not serve judicially the cause of action for human beings.

I think these days, even I can be a judge when you have Umno judges with such convoluted minds that only serve their own interests beyond what is just and fair, as their political needs will protect them against their own consciousness.

Sarajun Hoda: This is another mother of all judgments. What kind of justice is this? We are becoming a laughing stock in the eyes of the rest of the world, yet we are complaining that Malaysia's reputation is going down the drain by blaming Anwar for 'buat malu kita di persada dunia'?

Gandhi: The more injustice Anwar gets from the court, the more popular he becomes. Sympathy is growing as the odds are deliberately stacked against him. Divine intervention is the only hope for all these doings.

Md Imraz Muhd Ikhbal: The day when court judgments defy every precept of logic, when the judiciary adheres no longer to the constitution but to the political will of the ruling elites; when the law miserably fails to uphold justice; that is the day when a nation plunges into the depths of deplorability.

We see this happening in many parts of the world and witness how the people suffer extreme misery. Since childhood, never once did it cross my mind that it could ever happen to my beloved country. But I guess accepting this reality no matter how shocking and disgusting is part of growing up.

Anonymous2: So let me get this straight:

1) Anwar's preliminary objection was dismissed because it was in English.

2) All court documents shall be in the national language.

3) However, the court may in its own motion use the English language in the 'interest of justice'.

4) Therefore, the judgment can be in English.

Conclusion? This is total bullshit. And Malaysiakini can print that!

Ruben: The outcomes of the appeal shows very clearly the biasness of the judiciary, be it in this case or in the sodomy case. We know the sentiments of the rakyat and should not let that go unnoticed.

One way of showing our extreme frustration and support for change is to set up a 'Save Anwar from an Unjust Judiciary' fund that we can contribute to pay whatever costs of damages incurred/legal costs, etc.

There were millions of Malaysians who voted against BN in the last general elections. There will be millions who can voice their support by contributing just a token amount to this fund.

Chandran Sukumaran: Please tell me how I could contribute RM100 towards the fine. I am a pensioner and I am fed up with the judiciary. I hope they won't trace me and perhaps arrest me. I want true justice in Malaysia. What's happening to this country that I love?

Cascara: This is a case of 'Heads I win, tails you lose'. Justice, Malaysian-style.

Mufti Perak.

Selama ini Mufti Perak agak popular disebabkan keberanian dan kegarangannya membangkitkan sesuatu isu. Ini bermula dengan isu murtad, sureheboh dan beberapa isu lagi. Walau bagaimanapun saya tidak nampak sebarang kejayaan dari apa yang di bangkitkan.Lebih 20 tahun menjadi Mufti tapi bilangan yang memeluk Islam terlalu sedikit. Sepatutnya Perak sudah seluruhnya Islam jika menurut sunnah kejayaan Nabi Muhammad selama 23 tahun menjadi Nabi dan Rasul.

Islam bukan menjadi tarikan kepada India , Cina dan bukan Islam khususnya tetapi di benci dan di takuti kerana pendekatan yang di ambil bukan pendekatan dakwah tetapi pendekatan menakutkan orang bukan Islam seperti kononnya Melayu itu Islam dan Islam itu Melayu berdalilkan Perlembagaan bukan Al-Quran dan Sunnnah. Kalau zaman dahulu orang bukan Islam takut memeluk Islam sebab masuk Melayu yang menyebabkan kena wajib berkhitan dan luka khitan sembuh untuk jangka masa yang agak lama. Maka orang cina hanya setakat jadi Baba Melaka dan orang India menjadi Chetty sebab takut nak khitan.

Sekarang masuk Islam jadi Melayu sebab dalilnya Melayu itu Islam mengikut perlembagaan kata Mufti Perak.Sekarang mana yang lebih tinggi Al-Quran dan Sunnah atau Perlembagaan ?  Mana yang perlu diikut dahulu Allah ke manusia ? Mana yang wajib jika di tinggalkan berdosa dan mana yang wajib jika di tinggalkan tidak berdosa ?

Betul ke pemimpin mesti di kalangan orang Melayu dan ia bersesuaian dengan Hadis Nabi yang mengatakan bahawa pemimpin perlu dari Quraish. Kalau ikut senario politik di Malaysia, ia sama dengan tuntutan orang Ansar yang mahukan jawatan Khalifah kerana mereka penduduk asal Madinah dan orang Muhajirin adalah pendatang Mekah.. Maka kiasan Mufti Perak tak kena lansung.

Begitu juga kononnya kena taat pemimpin seperti taatkan Rasulullah dengan merujuk Perjanjian Hudaibiah. Taat kepada Rasulullah adalah ketaatan Mutlak , jika tak taat menjadi kafir. Tetapi ketaatan pada peminpin bukan ketaatan Mutlak bah ia adalah ketaatan bersyarat dan tidak menjadi kafir.Sebab itu ayat Al-Quran kata "TAATlah kepada Allah, TAATlah kepada Rasul dan Ulil Amri" . Tiada perkataan " taat" pada Ulil Amri secara terus atau Mutlak tetapi di rangkaikan dengan taat kepada Allah , taat ke Rasul.

“Wahai orang yang beriman, taatlah kamu kepada Allah dan Rasul dan kepada Ulil-Amri dari kalangan kamu. Kemudian jika kamu berselisih dalam sesuatu perkara, maka kembalikanlah ia kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya jika benar kamu beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat. Yang demikian adalah lebih baik (bagi kamu), dan lebih elok pula kesudahannya” -surah an-nisaa- 59

Imam Ibnu Al-Qayyim mengatakan  dalam bukunya I’lam al-Muwaqqi’in;

“Allah dalam ayat ini memerintahkan kaum mukmin untuk taat kepadaNya dan taat kepada RasulNya. Dia mengulangi kata ‘taatlah kamu sekalian’ (athi’u) sebagai pemberitahuan bahawa taat kepada rasulNya haruslah dalam bentuk yang tersendiri, dan tidak memerintahkan taat kepada ulil amri secara tersendiri. Dia menghilangkan kata perintah taat kepada ulil amri, dengan maksud bahawa ketaatan kepada mereka berada dalam ketaatan pada Rasulullah s.a.w, sekaligus sebagai pemberitahuan bahawasanya ketaatan pada mereka adalah dalam rangka mentaati Rasulullah s.a.w. Dan oleh kerana itu, barangsiapa yang diangkat menjadi pemimpin dan menentang apa yang dibawa Rasulullah saw maka dia tidak perlu di dengar dan di taati. Ayat ini juga menyinggung persoalan orang-orang yang beriman kadang-kadang berselisih pendapat mengenai sebahagian hukum –sebaimana yang dilakukan para sahabat dalam banyak hal—dan ini tidak membuat mereka keluar dari garis keimanan, apabila merujukkan perselisihan pendapat itu kepada Allah dan RasulNya, sebagaimana di persyaratkan oleh Allah kepada mereka;

“Kemudian jika kamu berselisih dalam sesuatu perkara, maka kembalikanlah ia kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya jika benar kamu beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat. “ an-nisaa 59

-   Rujuk Al-Marja’ijjah Al’ulya Fil-Islam Lil-Qur’an

Ketika Abu Zar di buang daerah oleh Usman r.a. Usman memerintahkan tidak seorangpun di benarkan mengiring Abu Zar ke tempat buangan. Walaubagaimanpun Ali r.a mengirng Abu Zar sampai ketempat buangannya. Lantas Usman memanggil Ali bertanya kenapa dia tidak taat kepada perintahnya. Maka di jawab oleh Ali " Aku akan taat kepada perintahmu selagi kamu mengikut Al-Quran dan Sunnah". Kata-kata Ali r.a tidak di bantah Usman dan Ali tidak pula di kenakan tindakan.Peristiwa ini di jadikan oleh Imam Syafei di hujahnya bahawa ketaatan kepada pemimpin itu adalah bersyarat.

Dr. Asri dan Dr. Redzuan Tee.

Dua orang ini ikon yang baru muncul di pesada media perdana. Orang duhulu kata penyapu baru, maklum sahajalah baru dapat PHD maka terasa diri sudah sampai kekemuncak pandai.Ada Orang mabuk TODI tapi yang 2 orang ini mabuk PHD maka kedua-dua orang ni macam Pak Pandir. Mereka sangka orang akan dengar cakap dia sebab sudah ada PHD berjela.

Dr. Redzuan Tee seorang Melayu celup (sebab celup perempuan Melayu) kini bersemangat bercakap tentang bangsa Melayu tapi dulu dia kata Melayu tidak mempunyai temaddun seperti bangsa Cina. Dia tak tahu orang Cina dulu zaman Empayar Melaka nak jadi bangsa Melayu hingga pakai kebaya, cakap melayu dan mengamalkan sebahagian Adat Melayu. Maka mereka di panggil Baba Melaka, yang India panggil di Chetti. Tapi sekarang hendak tunjuk hero jadi pejuang Melayu maka jadi lah dia Pak Pandir. Serupa jugalah jikalau Datuk DJ Dave hendak cakap perjuangkan bangsa Melayu kerana dia ahli Umno sedangkan tubuh badan dan jiwa dia sebenarnya adalah Punjabi.

Dr. Asri lebih kurang serupalah , baru dapat PHD dan baru tulis satu dua buku sudah nak membuat perubahan. Setaraf ke dia dengan Dr. Yusuf Qardawi? Setandingkah dia dengan Dato' Seri Anwar untuk membuat perubahan (reformasi) ?

Pernah memimpin organisasikah ? Kalau hendak jadi seperti Prof. Dr. Hamka pun kena jadi pemimpin organisasi, pemimpin persatuan ulama, boleh berpidato dengan baik seperti Prof. Dr. Hamka yang PHDnya di anugerahkan oleh Universiti Al-Azhar kerana mampu memberi pidato yang hebat dalam Bahasa Arab.Ini setakat melonggokkan hadis orang biasapun mampu.Sekarang ini hendak cari ayat Al-Quran atau Hadis di internet tak sampai satu minitpun.

Kalau kita berdebat dengan mereka adakala ternganga- nganga mereka ini.

Maka tidak payahlah layan budak dua orang ini.

Nasihat pada Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Masaalah demi masaalah menimpa Dato' SerI Anwar Ibrahim, kalau terkena orang biasa sudah lama sasau dan menyerah kalah di buatnya. Tapi penghormatan harus di berikan padanya kerana masih dapat bertahan. Dr. Mahathir dulu bila di asak oleh Semangat 46 termasuklah pahlawan anjing tersepit Ibrahim Ali,  masuk hospital orang tua tu dibuatnya. Bila Pairin Kitingan istihar keluar dari Barisan maka terpacul keluar dari mulut Dr. Mahathir yang masih lemah dan kecewa ketika itu (nyaris tak mati) "Habislah kita". Siapa yang berjuang ketika itu ?? Ya!! Dialah Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Muhammad Taib, Isa Samad, Muhyiddin Yasin . Maka menanglah BN dengan hanya terlepas Kelantan dan Sabah kepada pembangkang.

Jadi Dato' Seri Anwar tak perlu risau sangat senario sekarang. Hanya berhati-hati pada bekas-bekas Umno dan mereka-mereka yang berjuang untuk periuk nasi.Carilah orang-orang setia terutama dari Abim seperti Dr. Nur Manuti, Dr. Sidek Fadil untuk menguruskan parti bagi membantu saudara Saifuddin Nasution seorang pahlawan yang kental.

Parti Keadilan dahulunya tinggal satu kerusi sahaja di Parlimen dan selalu di sindir akan berkubur. Tetapi kemudianya bangun dengan menang dengan 31 kerusi. InsyaAllah dengan kerja kuat kita akan ke Putrajaya pada PRU13.

Maka Yesus mengakui dan ia berkata “ Sebenarnya aku bukanlah Messia”

Mereka berkata “ Adakah engkau ini Elia atau Armia atau salah seorang Nabi-nabi purba ?”

Jawab Yesus “ Bukan”

Ketika itu mereka bertanya ; “Siapakah engkau ?”

Katakanlah suapaya dapat kami mempersaksi kepada semua orang-orang yang menghantar kami? “

Maka berkatalah Yesus ketika itu; “ Aku ialah suara lantang di kalangan Yahudi seluruhnya.”

Menjeritkan “ Sediakanlah jalan utusan Tuhan sebagaimana ia termaktub didalam Yesaya”

Mereka berkata ; “Jika engkau bukan Al-Masih dan bukan Elia atau seorang Nabi yang lain, mengapakah engkau menyebarkan ajaran baru dan engkau jadikan diri engkau lebih agung dari Messia ?

Jawab Yesus “ Sesungguhnya mukjizat, yang dilakukan Allah keatas tangan ku membuktikan bahawa aku bercakap dengan apa yang di kehendaki Allah.

Dan aku tidak menganggap diriku bandingan yang kamu katakan itu.

Kerana sesungguhnya aku bukanlah ahli untuk merombak tali-tali kasut, atau sepatu Rasulullah yang kamu namakan Mesia itu

Yang diciptakan sebelum aku dan akan datang selepas aku.

Dan ia akan membawa ucapan-ucapan yang sebenar, dan tidak ada bagi agamanya itu kesudahan.

Maka bersurailah orang-orang Lewi dan Ahlil Kitab dengan rasa kecewa."

Berrnabas 42 :1-18

Baca buku ini iaitu "In The Hand Of Taliban" anda akan terpersona dengan ahlak dan ibadat  kumpulan ini yang menyebab penulis buku ini tertarik padaAgama Islam walaupun pada mulanya beliau ditahan dibawah  Taliban. Tetapi penulis tidak pernah di dera tetapi sebaliknya di layan dengan lembut dan di muliakan kerana beliau seorang wanita. Hebat bukan kumpulan Taliban  gagah di pertempuran , berdoa sambil menangis di malam hari dan berlaku baik pada wanita dan tahanan.
