KUALA LUMPUR: Bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad,
mengingatkan umat Islam di Malaysia supaya bersyukur dengan nikmat
keamanan dan pembangunan yang dikecapi negara sekarang.
Beliau berkata, ada sebahagian umat Islam negara ini yang tidak
bersyukur dengan nikmat Allah SWT yang dikurniakan kepada penduduk
Malaysia dalam bentuk keamanan, perlindungan daripada bencana alam dan
pentadbiran kerajaan yang cekap.
"Keadaan kita sebenarnya, kita kurang bersyukur dan kalau kita pergi ke
negara-negara lain, tidak payah jauh, dekat-dekat sini pun tidak apa,
kita dapati bahawa keadaan mereka lebih buruk daripada kita," katanya
kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Konvensyen Saudara Muslim Peringkat
Kebangsaan di Pusat Islam di sini hari ini.
Sebaliknya, kata Dr Mahathir, umat Islam negara ini juga dihasut supaya jangan bersyukur dan diajar untuk memaki orang.
Beliau menegaskan tidak ada negara lain yang mana umat Islam dan
bangsa lain hidup dengan bahagia kecuali di Malaysia sementara dunia
menyaksikan keadaan huru-hara dan bencana alam seperti taufan, gempa
bumi dan ledakan gunung berapi di tempat lain.
"Jadi janganlah buat angkara. Kalau tengok orang buat demo, demo
jatuhkan kerajaan, kita pun hendak buat demo jatuhkan kerajaan, kita ada
cara hendak jatuhkan kerajaan iaitu melalui pilihan raya, kalau dapat
menang, menanglah, kalau kalah, kalahlah," katanya.
Beliau seterusnya mengingatkan mereka yang tidak bersyukur ini
bahawa dalam Al-Quran sudah disebut janji Allah SWT di mana mereka yang
menidakkan nikmat Tuhan akan ditimpa azab yang pedih.
Beliau berkata, sekiranya umat Islam bersyukur, nikmat daripada kurniaan Allah akan dilimpahkan lebih banyak ke atas negara.
Beliau juga berpendapat sekiranya ajaran Islam diperjelaskan dan
ditunjukkan dengan betul, ia akan dapat menyatukan seluruh penduduk
negara tanpa mengira agama mereka.
"Kesukaran untuk berbuat demikian menyebabkan kadang-kadang
segelintir penduduk bukan Islam berada dalam keadaan bermusuh dengan
agama itu disebabkan pandangan negatif mereka.
"Bukan kita nak paksa orang memeluk agama Islam tetapi pandangan
negatif ini menyebabkan kita ini kadang-kadang macam bermusuh, itulah
yang menyebabkan kita tidak dapat menyatupadukan rakyat," katanya.
Dr Mahathir turut ditanyakan soalan oleh seorang wartawan dari China
yang beragama Islam mengenai pandangannya berhubung umat Islam di
republik itu berdasarkan lawatannya ke negara itu sebelum ini.
Dr Mahathir berkata, semasa lawatan ke daerah yang didiami penduduk
Islam di negara itu, beliau mendapati mereka sangat patut kepada ajaran
agama. - BERNAMA

LUMPUR: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad called on Muslims
in Malaysia to be grateful for the blessings of peace and development
of the country enjoyed now.
He
said some Muslims in our country who are not grateful for the blessings
God has bestowed upon the people of Malaysia in the form of security,
protection against natural and efficient government administration."The
situation we are, we are not grateful, and if we go to other countries,
there is no need far, near, near here, was not what we find that their
condition is worse than us," he told reporters after opening the Muslim
Brother Convention Stage National Islamic Centre here today.Instead, it said, the Muslims of this country also instigated and taught him not to give thanks for cursing people.
He
stressed that no other country in which Muslims and other people living
with happiness except in Malaysia, while the world witnessed the chaos
and natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions elsewhere.
"So
do not do self-centered. If you see the people for the demo, demo drop
the government, and we want to do a demo drop the government, we have a
ways to drop the government through an election, if I can win,
prevailed, if lost, defeated," he said.

the promise of Allah SWT in which those who deny the grace of God will
suffer a painful punishment.He said if the Muslims give thanks, blessings of Allah be showered blessings on the country's more.

also felt that if the teachings of Islam correctly explained and
illustrated, it will be able to unite the entire population regardless
of their religion.
"The
difficulty in doing so sometimes causes some non-Muslim population in a
state that is hostile to religion because of their negative views.
"We
did not want to force people to embrace Islam but this negative view of
our cause this kind of hostile sometimes, that's the cause we can not
unite the people," he said.
Dr
Mahathir was also asked questions by a reporter from China who is a
Muslim about his views on Muslims in the republic based on a visit to
the country before.
Dr
Mahathir said during a visit to the area occupied by the Muslims in
this country, he found that they are fit to religious teachings. - BERNAMA

matta-ne, minna-san~!TOP: When I was in kindergarten I ran away many times. If I hear from my mother she says that I had a hard time in groups because I am sensitive and sometimes like that… I always run away to my house. My mother told me to stop coming home but still I always ran away to my house. So she talked to my kindergarten teacher and hid my shoes, because without shoes you won’t come out. Then without my shoes I come ran away to my house, and after that the teacher took off my socks. But if the teacher takes off my socks, only I will complain because the others use theirs, so she told the whole class to take off their socks too. Like that, I walked home barefooted. At that time I had a hard time with crowds. I was a student who did not listen very well. Now I am not like that but when I was young… I was not a bad student but it was hard for me to sit with many people during class. Thinking why must I be sitting here like this, if I think now I must’ve been there because I needed to be, but I just went out of class. I went to my house. I went to my house because my mother was there.
