Prove Me Wrong

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

The mentality has not changed. Many still can't differentiate between what is religion and what is custom.

It is purely coincidence that this was quoted from an UMNO leader. It matters not who actually brought up this ancient way of thinking.

Kelantan Umno Liaison chairman Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed (picture) said he regretted the opinion voiced by a religious leader like Nik Aziz because the Maulidur Rasul celebration had long been observed in this country to the extent that it had become a culture among the Malay Muslims to celebrate it each year.

So the reason why is he wanting a celebration is because of another traditional culture?

Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad is not part of sunnah.

What more with the celebration of just a culture? Extra good deeds? No!

Many are still clueless what needs to be prioritised.

For instance, the necessity to educate the aqidah is number one. Many just don't care.

Maybe, still in top ten of priorities, is to instill brotherhood and sisterhood among Muslims. Do we do that? Not much. If we did, we would not still continue smoking. We would stop taking alcohol and Coca Cola.

A lot of these points will fall on deaf ears again I believe.

Prove me wrong.

till next time,
assalamualaikum
