21 July, 2014
For Immediate Release
Press Statement by Negara-Ku

We regret that, once again, detractors of the Negara-Ku people’s movement
have chosen to revile, based entirely on false premises, one of our
movement’s patrons, rather than engage us in mature and coherent dialogue
with a view to fostering greater understanding of differing points of view
on key issues affecting the nation.

This, coming from those who hold themselves out as, amongst others,
championing the cause of Islam, is all the more disconcerting given that
these attacks come in the holy month of Ramadhan.
I refer to comments and remarks attributed to Hanan Othman and Muhammad
Luttfi Abdul Khalid, both of Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) in a report
dated 16t July, 2014 entitled ‘Ambiga changes tune in 24 hours, raps Isma’
in Malaysiakini.

Hanan refers to calls made by Dato’ Ambiga to the opposition at a Pakatan
Rakyat meet on 9th July to look at legislation to resolve the issue of
unilateral conversion of minor children to Islam and then alleges that this
smacks of hypocrisy given the call by Dato’ Ambiga the next day, at the
launch of the Negara-Ku movement, to go back to, amongst others, our
founding document, the Federal Constitution.

Implicit in this contention is the assumption that a call to amend the
constitution amounts to an attack and challenge to the same. This is the
first error that Hanan makes. In this regard, it must be noted that since
its inception, the Federal Constitution has been amended almost 700 times
by, first, the Alliance government and, later, the BN government. Hanan’s
point, if taken to be sound, would mean that the Federal Constitution has
been under serial attack by the government since independence.

That is not to say that anyone should condone the whimsical amendment of the
Federal Constitution. Certainly, any such amendment should leave the basic
structure laid out under the Federal Constitution intact.

Her second error is the assumption that Dato’ Ambiga called for the
amendment to the Federal Constitution. She did not. She had asked for
legislation to address the problem that has caused grave concern to many
quarters, government, or otherwise,: the destruction of family relations by
the many cases of the conversion of children to Islam by one parent without
the knowledge or consent of the other parent.

Muhammad Luttfi’s stance of treating everything he perceives as outside of
the pale of Islam as ‘liberalism’, ‘representing the entrapment of the
devil’ and ‘jahiliyyah reincarnate’ vindicates the decision of my colleagues
and I to initiate the Negara-Ku people’s movement and explains why our call
to resist all forms of intolerance, bigotry, hatred and extremism is slowly
but surely resonating with so many.

"Sejahtera akidahnya, sahih ibadahnya, teguh akhlaknya, terdidik fikirannya, kuat badannya, mampu untuk mengusahakan mata pencariannya, teratur dalam segala urusannya, sentiasa menjaga waktunya dan sentiasa memberi manfaat kepada orang lain" (As Syahid Imam Hasan al Banna)

Istimewanya zaman remaja...

Tujuh golongan manusia akan dilindungi oleh Allah pada hari di mana tidak ada perlindungan kecuali perlindunganNya iaitu:
1) Imam yang adil
2) Pemuda / remaja (lelaki & perempuan) yang tekun beribadat kepada Allah
3) Seorang lelaki yang hatinya terpaut kepada masjid, (hatinya sentiasa ingat) dari masa ia keluar dari masjid hingga ia balik semula ke masjid
4) Dua orang *lelaki yang berkasih-kasihan di dalam (mencari ridha) Allah, keduanya bertemu kerana Allah dan berpisah pula kerana Allah
5) Seorang *lelaki yang mengingati Allah, di masa sunyi sepi sehingga menitiskan air mata.
6) Seorang lelaki yang diajak oleh seorang wanita yang berkedudukan tinggi, cantik rupa parasnya untuk melakukan perbuatan jahat, ia berkata, "Aku takut kepada tuhan seluruh alam"
7) Seorang *lelaki yang memberi sedekah dengan suatu sedekah, lalu disembunyikan sedekah itu, sehingga tangan kirinya tidak mengetahui apa yang diinfakkan oleh tangan kanannya.

"Lo! In the creation of the heaven and the earth and (in) the difference of night and day are tokens (of His sovereignity) for man of understanding"

"Sesungguhnya dalam penciptaan langit dan bumi, dan pengantian malam dan siang terdapat tanda-tanda (kebesaran Allah) bagi orang yang berakal"

(Ali-Imran: 190)

"Dengan yang demikian, berpegang teguhlah kepada Al-Quran yang telah diwahyukan kepadamu; kerana sesungguhnya engkau berada di atas jalan yang lurus. Dan sesungguhnya Al Quran itu memberikan kemuliaan dan peringatan kepadamu (wahai Muhammad) dan kepada kaummu; dan kamu akan ditanya kelak (tentang isi kandungannya yang kamu telah amalkan)."
