I haven’t viewed this for years. I was “A Friend…” It took NO intelligence to realize even at this time that President Nasheed was going to be ousted with the help of branding him Un-Islamic.

What do I think? I think, that Islam was played with for the purposes of acquiring power and that THAT that made Islam look cheap in the eyes of those who were already on the brink of leaving Islam, though it made no difference to anyone else’s beliefs.

As I said in 2008, in my above comment and others, President Nasheed’s ousting was easy to predict. One did not need any extra intelligence, analytical ability, cultural awareness, clairvoyancy, intuitive, Sihuru or Fanditha power, or Prophetic ability to work out what was going to happen. I made MANY mistakes and got many things wrong, but that one was obvious even to the eyes of a Faranji like myself who knows nothing about Maldives.

Yet, for me personally, the details of the future from here are much harder to predict, I have a few opinions, but I am not sure.

Brother. Thanks for clarifying it.

The Fundermentals of Shariya Law is the solutions given by god to our problems. Even when Allah asked us to implement this law ,he would know the fact that some communities would have problems to implement it. Problems should not be an excuse not to implement them.

We have to fear the judgmentday. Even if all the human beings on earth truns out to be human rights activits, we shouldnt compromise little bit of what allah asked to do.

Why is united states of america implementing dealth penalty. They claim to be champions of human rights and democracy. If they had any way not to implement they could have done it. In a country where there are 200 million people Shariya must be the best way to control them.

Assalamu Aleykumwa Rahmatullahiwa Barakhatu to you, Ahmed.

Ahmed, I feel your hurt like you could not imagine _ I also am hurt deeply by drug dealers, murderers and yes they deserve to die but do you really think they would die if the death penalty were implemented?

But I fear for my children, Ahmed,

what if your children were put to death for a crime that was made up – false – which happens very freqquently in Maldives, Ighwan (Brother…) What if the drug dealers and corrupt ones who control the courts killed your Son or daughter on charges of “terror” or manufactured charges of murder or Zina or anything – but all they really did was try to prevent the drug dealers from harming the ppl??

The Hukm of Allah, the Sacred Law, is an Amanah – a trust – and I by no means say that the death penalty is not part of that sacred law. Indeed, I also really believe that drug dealers and those murderers deserve the death penalty, as per the Qur’an and the Shariah Law. Especially those who have harmed children or who have harmed the sacred trust between parent and child.

All Muslims are one Ummah, the pain of one must be shared by every other, and Zulm (darkness-injustice) is serious indeed. As the Ummah is as one body, – I cannot but help fend for the potential victims of injustice under a system which MAY see the rich and powerful use the death penalty to exterminate their enemies unjustly. Have a think Ahmed- about the current system – and ask yourself – do you really believe that the current system can deliver the death penalty in a Just manner?

Think about all those who stood up against tyrants in Maldivian history, imagine if they had of been killed by the State in the Name of Islam even though they were fighting for True Islam which is Peace and Submission to the Just Will of Allah…- I mean – how many crimes were manufactured against them? They would have been killed if the government’s (Sultan’s – Presidents) could have done so – .

What I am saying, Ahmed, is for the love of Islam, for the love of Shariah Law, I do not want people to abuse and misuse my beautiful Islam in the name of implementing it, as to do so is seriously Haram. I am fighting for the dignity of my religion, I am obeying Surah 4: 75 and fighting for the oppressed men and Women and Children…’ You cannot ask me not to do that as it is my sacred duty to do so…

I am asking you seriously to consider Islam properly and deeply, obey the Word of Allah – Prophet (SAW)said, “Their is No Barrier between the oppressed and Allah…” So be very careful before you throw the innocent into oppression in the name of fighting for Shariah Law…

In the the current system… The real criminals walk away from the courts – in fact control the courts, and that does not look like it can be changed! So, the killers and the drug dealers will be killing the innocent and oppressed in the name of implementing Islamic Law, does that sound like Islam to you? That is serious Fitnah (dissension) from Islam dear Ahmed…

Of course, the death penalty was practiced by Our Beloved Rasul (SAW) and is ordered by the Qur’an. The issue is, the reliability of the current system. Shariah Law – the Hukm (Law) is deeply sacred, it is a massive Amanah (trust) which must never be taken lightly or under estimated. Allah is Al Quddus, the Holy, and every injustice is made right in the Qiyamat. Read the Hadith about what is in store in Jahannum for Muslim leader’s who missapply the Shariah Law for political ends or for the wrong Niyat. The Judge who orders a death is to be held accountable for his motives, it is a massive Zalim to missapply the Hudud. I do advise anyone wishing to implement the Law to be aware not to play politics with the Sacred Law.

A Qadi must be a qualified Mutjahid and must investigate the issue extensively before making a decision to kill someone. Notice the word Mutjahid, notice how this word for study and decision making about the Law requires Jihad – as is contained in the word. If he exhausts all avenues of possible doubt, and is sure in his heart, no matter what decision he makes, he will be rewarded for the quality of the struggle he puts into exhausting his search for any possible doubt.

For example, there has to be four wittnesses, reliable male witnesses whose mental capacity, honesty and moral character is assessed before the Law of Death is applied.

You know, pushing for the Shariah Law – I mean pushing for the death penalty just to show the Public you are more Muslim than the President or to use it as a weapon to show the President is not a Muslim is a very serious thing if you do it for these motives.

If you think you are ready for this, well, it is between you and Allah, but I myself I would be frightened to push for this sacred law unless I felt Maldives judicial system was spiritually mature enough to be entrusted with such a massive burden.

Also, in the Hadith, just because someone is killed by Rajm does not mean that they are banned from Jannah. A story of a Woman who volunteered to be stoned tells us that Mohammed (PBUH) sensed the paradise when she was being killed as her Tauba was Ikhlas (sincere).

So if this law is passed, i advise no body to look down on a person who receives the death penalty. A fearful silence should accompany the remembrance of such a person. More on that stoned woamn, the Prophet (SAW) was reluctant to give her the death penalty but she insisted, which is another point – it (maximum punishment) is rarely applied.

Howver, it is there, and the Qur’an also warns of the consequences of not applying his Laws, which means, ok, if you feel Maldives is ready, Alhumdulillah! But please, be very careful, do not use the sacred Law for political ends, search your hearts before deciding as to the intentions.

Ahmed please read and try to consider what I am saying…

We will realise the importance of Shariya if we are in a country like United States where there more than 200 million people to be controled. Even they have dealth penalty. And not having trusted judges is not an excuse not to implemnent allahs laws.

If we go on compromising on religious issues like this i dont know where we are going to end. you all should know we all have a “judgment day” and answers to be given .This world is a dream. If we are to enjoy this world how can we go to Heaven. Fear the punisments for not following allah.

Kind Regards
Ahmed

This is very clear. So why exactly did the Adalath Party whip up a storm carrying distorted versions of the Presidents statement?

This rally was not about the Islamic Shariath. I have a strong feeling that the Adhalath Party is planning to leave this government or is going to get kicked out soon. This rally would serve as an excellent platform to recruit more people into their party and start their Presidential campaign for 2013.

The Adhalath Party had a fantastic opportunity to bring Islam close to our hearts but instead has chosen to impose on us fascist dictates of arab nations set up to protect the wealthy and keep the poor in servitude.

The Adhalath Party is a political movement driven from Saudhi Arabia and not an Islamic movement. The sooner we distinguish this the better it will be for all of us. We do not want to become a Saudhi Arabia Iran or Afganistan. We are the Maldives and we will find a way to being muslims living in peace harmony, abundance and prosperity. And it will be our way, not the Adhalath way.

you seems to be a wrong guy putting your nose in the maldives. Tell you something we are 100% muslims living in the maldives very peacefully. We are not the europians or the americans. better you go to a place where there are people who will agree to compromise gods book.

Dont try to teach us islam. We know it very well.Allah have asked us to implement Shayiya Law for a solution for everything.so you better be silent and let us maldivians have chance to manage our bussiness .

Kind Regards
Ahmed
