If i was asked for ONE word to describe SATURDAY, that will b UNBELIEVABLE. Something happened earlier tht day that opened my eyes how great tarbiyah Allah can be :) my faith was really tested. Nway, i ended my day by going 2 a talk by Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad. Try google for his name, dont b surprised if the 1st thing u saw was... a bibliography of a person named TIMOTHY WINTER! That's him, people :) I always like going for a talk by overseas scholars. I like to hear perspectives from diff views, from other countries, and maybe, from other mazhabs. He touched on so many issues but wht i rmmber the most was an issue on the INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS. What he said was,
"Pulling a riot, vandalising things around does not helps Islam, infact it brings more fitnah on Islam. This is not something taught by the sunnah. If we see the sahabah, they have this believe of, HASBUNALLAH WA NI'MAL WAKIL (3:173). Where ALLAH IS ENOUGH AND HE IS THE BEST PROTECTOR. With this in mind, the sahabah are fearless! Fearless here means, they are not scared of what the disbelievers do, bcoz they know Allah will protects this deen. The act of putting up a fight, making riot, is simply showing how insecure we are. Showing how a simple PLAY button on utube can flips the whole ummah. Rasulullah was very calm in facing all these obstacles. He does not sits on his laurel, but at the same time he does not do actions that gives fitnah on ummah. Instead of vandalising, burning and doing other chaotic as protest, why dont we put our efforts together making a new movie on BEAUTY OF ISLAM, or do a much peaceful protest portraying how a simple movie will not freaks us out because we have a POWERFUL PROTECTOR."
Alhamdulillah. thank u Allah for the safe journey. and i will never be able to deny, there is no GUIDER AND PROTECTOR as magnificient as You are.
ps : sorrie, i was so impressed by how wise the speaker was, i forgot to snaps for pix.
