I'll keep singing Allah sayyaan
With the increasing number of our East Malaysian friends now working and living in the Klang Valley, it is only natural for some churches to conduct their mass in Bahasa Melayu – simply to ensure those attending understood what is going on.
The same situation can be seen in many Gurdwara as projectors screen the English translation of verses from the Guru Granth Sahib so that the younger generation could understand better.
In short, it is just a way for followers to understand their religion better.
Even calling this entire episode as the ‘Allah issue’ is wrong. Since when was God an issue?
There are better ways of addressing such matters as rightfully said by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
“It will be less tense when we can sit down together,” Najib was quoted as saying.
Let’s understand the matter at hand before jumping the gun. Let’s be matured about this. The last thing we need is to politicise this.
I rather not say more and leave you with Aik Alif (One God).
Parh parh ilm te faazil hoya
Te kaday apnay aap nu parhya ee na
(You read so many books to know it all, yet fail to read your heart)
Bhaj bhaj warna ay mandir maseeti
Te kaday mann apnay wich warya ee na
(You rush to temples and mosques to play a part, would you dare enter the shrine of your heart?)
Larna ay roz shaitaan de naal
Te kadi nafs apnay naal larya ee na
(You are quick to attack Satan, yet pride is a battle you have not won)
Bulleh Shah asmaani ud-deya pharonda ay
Te jera ghar betha unoon pharya ee na
(You grab for a star you can control but fail to grasp the light in your soul)
Bas kareen o yaar
(Stop it, my friend)
Allah Sayyaan Allah Sayyaan
(God is great, God is all)
Nee main jaanaa Jogi de naal
(Follow the wandering dervish)
Jo naa jaane, Haqq ki taaqat
Rabb naa devey us ko Himmat
(If you deny the power of all that’s true, God will not grant strength to you)
Hum Mann ke darya mein doobey
Kaisi nayya? Kya manjhdhaar?
(We are lost in this river of self, no boat or streams are of any help)
Bas kareen o yaar
(Stop it, my friend)
Ilm-oun bas kareen o yaar
(Stop trying to know it all, my friend)
Allah sayyaan, Allah sayyaan
(God is great, God is all)

There was once a Malay Muslim lady converted to Christianity when she married a Singaporean. This caused uproar among the Muslim's in Malaysia. When the media interviewed Tun Mahathir, over the matter....he had this to say, "Malaysia is a democratic country we can't stop anyone from converting to another religion, if we do so, the international community will view us negatively"
ReplyDeleteThose are the words spoken by a great leader like Tun Mahathir, even though he's a Muslim.
Today, we have to put up with politician like Noh Omar, who is making other Muslim's look bad with his action and statements.
They are using religion for their survival, knowing well that politically they're doomed.
However, the Catholic's are also lost in the wilderness, when it comes to morality. Just look at what is happening in the west. There's serious moral issues like same sex's getting married in churches, and endorsed by the priest. What do they got to say about it??? They should be ashamed of this action and behaviour by their fellow Catholics. In the west and most of Europe Catholics have lost their faith simply because of freedom and human rights. They're abusing the real teaching of the Bible in the name of human right, and putting the other true followers to shame.
Can Vatican and father Lawrence explain to us, why they have failed to address and correct this shameful act by their fellow Catholics.
I'm a Muslim convert, and my late mother comes from a Christian family.I really hope Vatican and father Lawrence can explain to the world about this shameful act flourishing around the world besides championing the 'Allah' word.
