Personally, I must concede that you, brother, are an acquired taste which for some tastebuds tastes a little too bitter to appreciate the truth. <br /><br />I've listened to the video recording a number of times. I find it odd how people are so fixated on the final verse of surah Al-Baqarah. I have no issues for an imam to recite that verse from the Quran as part of his supplication as they are rightfully the words of God. But if people were to listen a little more, singling out specific groups of people in a multi-cultural society such as ours, where none are warring against one another, is potentially explosive.<br /><br />Little care had been given to that thought; the fact that the imam had perhaps erred was not entertained. I would assume that the imam would have had a far more extensive education in the Arabic Language than I had, therefore I find it hard to fathom that he was unable to word his supplication in a more sensitive manner.<br /><br />If people, from Mufti, academics, to Joe-Public, could harp on the so-called context of the supplication, then may I suggest that they consider to just simply ask for Divine help to overcome the Oppressors which may come in many shapes and forms. Bear in mind that sometimes the biggest oppressors may be those who worship the same Divine-Being as we do.

I hope you are in good health.<br /><br />Some people have digging up some of your old Facebook posts as a means to discredit your orthodoxy due to the current outrage over the video. You might see it online. In my opinion, it is best you provide clarifications regarding this matter. You do not have to give up your principles. Just clarify your positions on certain fiqhi issues (e.g hijab, dogs etc.) and intentions especially considering the fact that you have no malice or ill intentions or for that matter, any sort of hobby to be a Government whistle-blower. <br /><br />I know this sounds strange coming from a complete stranger but I enjoy and still enjoy the information and knowledge you provide regarding traditional Islam in Singapore. It pains me that people misunderstand your intentions and even worse doubt your orthodoxy and sincerity.<br /><br />Allah yahfizuka wayarhamuka Sayyidi. <br /><br />Assalamu'alaikum.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />HafizAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661115430176563593noreply@blogger.com
