NIK AZIZ: PREACHERS MUST NOT IMPOSE ON OTHERS
KOTA BHARU: Islamic missionaries and those propagating its teachings must not impose their religious beliefs on others, said Chief Minister and PAS (Parti Islam SeMalaysia - PAN MALAYSIA ISLAMIC PARTY) Spiritual Adviser Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat.
"Islam must be embraced voluntarily and sincerely, especially among converts who come to the religion because of sheer belief or those who adopt the faith because of marriage," Nik Aziz said when launching the state's month-long "Dakwah" (missionary activities) campaign at Balai Islam here.
"We cannot force people to enter Heaven. They must do it on their own will.
"We can guide them but we cannot force."
He said that, similarly, all political parties could not impose their ideologies on people.
Nik Aziz who is Chempaka assemblyman, said politicians must be ashamed if they impose their will and ideologies on the weak.
"It's not intellectual or rational to impose a value system of politics. Islam does not do it, so why must they?
"There is no capital to gain when Judgment Day befalls them in their spiritual life."
He also said that missionaries were being overwhelmed by the rise of social ills from incest, rape, corruption, snatch thefts and murder.
This campaign was launched to help missionaries and those propagating Islam to find new ways to counter the rise of evils in the society, Nik Aziz said.

The problem is that most of those crime mentioned are done by Muslims.
We have stricts laws (eventhough it's based on British Common Laws) and enforcement.
So why they do it, I mean how come they getting away with it?
As long as there are no police reports made against them..... of course they're getting away from it.format_quote Originally Posted by Al Habeshi

So they have capital punishment for rapist and murderers?

Malaysian Sharia courts do not permit a Muslim to marry a non-Muslim. So what happens is that many non-Muslims convert to Islam in order to marry, then apostisize upon dissolution of marriage (i.e. when divorce occurs).format_quote Originally Posted by Al Habeshi

Why dont you go home and think about it first "
I was shocked! I mean someone comes and wants to become Muslim, and you tell him to go home and think about it first, does that make sense?
But then, first of all, Is what my mother read true? lol
I dont know.... but my family managed to islamise a Chinese man years ago. And there is no such thing that they (the people from Religious Dept.) asked him to go home and rethink. But after he converted to Islam, he was disowned by his family. So we have to support him living as a Muslim. He loves Islam so much and went to Sekolah Pondok (Traditional Madrasa) in Kelantan. Now he's a very religious person and his non-Muslim family started accepting him again when he got his first son (He's married to my father's cousin). He also managed to Islamise his younger brother.format_quote Originally Posted by Mawaddah

And most of them love Islam so much...that they say shahadah nonformally and even wear hijab before they are registered as muslim.
In my opinion, you don't really need the authority to convert to islam...

The thought that comes to mind is legal recognition=Taxation
I'm not too certain what will be taxed but I see the Government making money off of this. Perhaps a license fee to be able to "Legaly" call yourself a Muslim?
Muslims must be registered... to avoid any confusions when the reverts died.
nah...not really...every one non-muslims and muslims will be taxed. We have zakat too for the muslims...and they don't have to pay tax if they pay zakat.format_quote Originally Posted by Woodrow
The only problem is the shariaah law...cause the shariah law is only for the muslims. Especially when comes to marriage and divorce. :blind:
Some Anti-IRC (Inter-Faith Commission) people claims that IRC wants Non-Muslims to have their shares in Zakat money too. Is it true? Because I asked my friends who supporting IRC, and they claimed that those allegations are baseless.
P/S: Most of my friends support IRC.
IRC is all bulls. Non-Muslim organizations ganging up on Islam and the rights of Muslims in Malaysia.format_quote Originally Posted by north_malaysian
