before we move on to surah an najm...........' madarij as salikin', ranks of seekers
your highness,
before we move on to the next stop in our short journey, let us examine the rudiments of traveling light.
let us just briefly enter into the world of ibnu qayyim and 11th century afghan scholar, abu ismail al harawi al ansari.

Surah at Tur, 52..........ayat 40 to ayat 41..[ ustad muhammad mustaffa, 'bahasa' ]
your excellency,
allah defines people into 3 groupings only:
mukmin; kuffar ; and lastly, al munafikun.
in present day linggo however al munfikun is no longer a politically correct term to use, especially in this malay world of ours.
it is a NO! NO!
it is acceptable to use liberal islam, progressive islam or 'whatever in islam', 'pyo' islam or 3/4 islam, nominal islam or 'islam masuk suku sahaja'.
the 'class' is still the same for allah.
HE is being very very definitive.
in HIS book, they all will end up at the bottom heap of an nar.
lower than the kuffar.
allah does not mince his words and anger on this issue, for good reason.
the al munafikuns are worse than the kuffar from the perspective of spread and practice of islam.
well, they have good company there though.
false scholars, ulama and people who sell their ugama for a few ringgit and dollars!

Surah at Tur, 52,,,,,,,,,,,,,ayat 29 to ayat 39 [ commentary by ustad muhammad mustaffa ]
friends, dato and tansri,
we double back to ayat 29 of surah at tur in 'bahasa' with ustad muhammad mustaffa.
we join him in masjid binjal, kota bharu.
currently with the dichotomy in PAS resulting in a split into tuan guru abdul hadi's incoherrent remnant of whatever remain of the old PAS and PAN, the party of the youmg 'turks'.
this northern east coast state which have been known to be 'serambi makkah' in the past could well fall to Barisan.
that current numero uno is heading for sungai buluh for long years of 'nasi kawah' in sungai buluh is a certainty if the majority of the raayat could have their ways.
a clown that impacts on millions of others in a negative way by his own choice has no where else to go but be put behind bars!
but he has 2 cards he can play....the 'mageran' card and 'cash is power card'.
if you talk to sb people or the uniform groups, they have already 'practised' in their minds what they have to do if such situations arise. allah forbid.
lternatively the less painful way is that he can buy people including 'representatives of people with his ill gotten billions!
on top of this tuan haji hadi and his people are already lining up to the highest bidder what there can offer......if this happned, he is selling his ugama for a few ringgit.
allah does not mincehis words for lowly ulama such as these!
allah does not change the condition of a people unless they change their hearts.
if on after 9th may, we cannot still send this clown to sungai buluh, we as a people 'deserve the shit we deserve'

commentary by ustad muhammad mustaffa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdivbhQz_3g
28:47 ............ 'cut down the tree of ilm!' . ostracize the ulama' class from the masses.
38:32 ............do not remain quiet. if you are right , say it....
48:20 ...........majnun
51:10 .............talibanization of islam
1;06:12 ........darwinism
1:08:15 ........'allah'
1: 16:30 ........'allah's rights', human right
ps: i know this is a repetition, but 'ilm tafseer' is necessarily deep dives into the ocean for pearls and gem.
each tok guru have their own pearls and gem when they discuss each ayat.
it remain for us to discover them.

Surah at Tur, 52.............ayat 1 to ayat 23
friends, dato and tansri,
al hamdullillah, we are in luck this time.
we are spoil for choice.
for ayat 1 and beyond we have 3 excellent commentaries to choose from......ustad nouman ali khan in english, ustad shamsuri and ustaz muhammad mustaffa in bahasa. all great guys.
i love them all.
so i will have 'mee goreng mamak' from irving, usa; and 'nasi kandar' and 'nasi dagang' specially air flown from ko'diang, kedah and binjal, kota bharu', all at one go!
they are all excellent.
enjoy them and derive benefit from their sea of knowledge.
all the three of them have their very special gem and pearls for us to dive into even though they are commenting on the same ayat.
that is the nature of true ulama and the nature of qur'an.
on the home front however, on may 9 th , we malaysians dont have much choice....
on the left corner we have an old juggernaut, tdm, who at 93 years old, has the humbling experience of having to face the humility of licking back his saliva on the floor and all, facing the chap whom he made a minister at the young age of 25 many decades ago and whom he had put on the pedestal over pak lah. the sleeping pak lah, to the agiing tdm now, would have been a much better pm than the pirate and robber he helped put in!. at least the country just continue on sleeping mode rather than 'haemorrhaging to death' as it is now!
yes! , in the right hand corner is a 'bugis warrior' who has impoverished his own country by 50 over billions rm and make sure our anak and cucus keep paying for his 'scatter brained' mistakes and personal excessess, for decades and decades to come.
tdm must be praying for a malay tsunami to happen.
from my personal perspective, he has to pray a lot more.
and why not?
my neighbour che boer, used to be a ceo. a top flight econs graduate of his time. reads washington post in his free time and made millions in the share market.
he is for the bugis warrior.
in his perception from his limited 'ugama', this is the right thing for him to do.
down the lane in subang jaya , i have two full time professors in our universities. they are also betting for the bugis warrior.
worse still both of them think 1mdb is a western complicity.
a conspiracy to bring down malaysia who is doing excellently.
that is the level of our academicians and scholars now.
i am not yet talking of all the pa' mat nyadap from kuala ketil ;to padang pa' amat, pasir puteh, kelantan, and at tur, bachok , kelantan; and kuala brang, teganu.
if there is going to be any malay tsunami, there are the prime movers!
they just are interested in BRIM. they dont care whether this 'animal' called 1md eats grass or consume petrol!
50 billion rm in deficit for many decades has little meanings to them.
the 'bugis warrior' dont have to pray very much it seemed.
does he know how to really pray, any way?
all his life he has had every thing delivered on a silver plate, even the present government.
he has several cards to play.
he has several 'jokers' to dispense.
joker number 1:
if he can persuade the highly compliant and skewed election commission people to negate all those candidates in the coming elections using logo which does not belong to their parties, he would win the election hands down. if any riot or major commotion follows through , he could use joker number 2: the emergency act.
putting malaysia under national operation council governance is better for him than spending the rest of his life eating nasi kawah in sungai buloh.!
if the election commission cannot be persuaded, there is still joker number 3 for him to play around.
sabah and sarawak are already in his pocket.
kelantan and terengganu, marginal states for bn before,thanks to that decrepit and fast dementing tuan guru haji hadi , will now be mince meat for the 'bugis warrior'.
pahang, his home state, is already his by virtue of BRIM and more beyond BRIM around election time,to dispence around.
remember that cash is power and the bugis warrior has a lot of these goodies at hand.
as for johor, if the warrior can just persuade the 'still wet in between the ears' tmj to just shut up for the time being, will also be his.
remember that johor is the birth place of the party the bugis warrior is representing.
a great party but much tainted now by him and his refusal to disappear gracefully from the scene when this could have been done gracefully two years ago when some horse trading would have saved everyone's waterface.
'saving waterface', in the malay world, is bigger than life it self!
....and if all of these does not work, and there is a hung parliement, he can always use joker 2!
if i am a gambling man, for which i am not as my ugama does not allow me to, i would bet on the probability that we malaysians would have to tolerate this clown for another 5 very long long years.
ya mukal libal qulub thabit qalbi ala di nik
ya mukal libal qulub, thbit qalbi ala ta'atik
ya allah save malaysia from the bala we are confronting!
ya allah save us from our very own wrongs and misdoings!
ya allah save ourselves from ourselves!
rabbana atina fiddunya hasanah.
wafil akhirati hasanatan wakina aza ban nar
if the above matter brings out too much acid and bile in your stomach and liver may i suggest we get back to our tafseer and lift our collective spirit up several plane higher so that insyaallah come may 9th ,allah will give us the necessary clarity of mind, purpose and soul, to go out there and vote for HIM!
Allah will always be on the right side, even though the right side now may appear to be wrong from the perspective of your 'cari makan'.
life is not just about 'cari makan'
life my friend is not just about that 'datoship' or 'tansri-ship', your excellencies.
it is about amr maaruf nahi mungkar.
it is about truth and doing things right on this planet of ours.
it is about facing HIM on the day of yaumiddin and being able to say 'yes sir! i have done my level best, but obviously my level best is certainly not good enough for YOU....i need YOUR rahmah and your rahim...'
let us go listen to what ustad nouman ali khan, ustad muhammad mustaffa and ustad dato shamsuri have to advice us.

Surah at Tur, 52,.......Prologue
friends, dato and tansri,
as an opening gambit to surah at tur let us move back 10 years and visit shaykh ninowy during his much younger days, giving a friday prayer khutbah in his masjid in atlanta, usa.
the audio is not great but bear with me.
i count the shaykh as one of my living tok guru having had taken baa'iah under him some 4 years ago in ipoh.
he is a frequent visitor to our shores.
just a digression here about 'moments of stillness', as shaykh hamza yusuf mentioned in his discourse on imam alghazali in the last slot.
i had a very full day yesterday at the hospital.
a busy morning clinic followed by a quick rush to the masjid for friday prayer , a quick bite of lunch in the lift, then back to the hospital for a quick coronary angiogram on a lady and followed by and angioplasty and stenting on a chairman of our local masjid in subang jaya.
on my way out of the lift at late evening, just about to catch a very very late asar prayer, i met a senior consultant radiologist , in her exercise pants and t-shirt carrying an exercise mat.
'what are you doing malkit?'
'oh! nik...i just finish a session of yoga on the 6th floor of the mediplex....'
'oh! they have yoga here!..... '
indeed we muslims are very blessed!
we have mental 'yoga' at least 5 times a day!......if we care to add muraqaba [ always aware about god's presence and oneself being watched all the time ], it'kon[ do the recommended things in the best possible way ie excellence ] , and ikhlas to our daily routine.
in our 'subha nallah,w al hamdullillah, wala illah haillallah huwallah hu akbar'' 33 times, 100 times, 1000 times or 10,000 times a day we have 'yoga'
we have 'yoga' even in 'atagfirullah' and 'selawat on the nabi'.
we have 'yoga' even in 'allah allah allah....', in 'ya latif ya latif, ya latif..'.
in all of the rest of allah's 99 names!
we just need to change our paradigm.
we can be alone.
we can be very very busy
we can be a sultan or two, even an agong.
we can be a millionaire or by present standard even a billionaire.
or we can be just an mppj worker and minding our business on the street of ampang.
but all of us must at least attempt to be 'people of stillness', as imam ghazali expounded.
and madam and sir....stop complaining about life!
be content with allah!
for you complain about your life, you are not contented with HIM......
with the slot HE gives you!
