PAS Pulai - The Impact of Usrah

The Usrah is here at last for us to join. It was like a resurrection from the dead.

It was held at Markaz PAS Cawangan Taman Dahlia, the very HQ of MTD PAS Kempas. Participants cheerful faces shone under the fluorescent light seated outside the main office. They cannot occupy inside the premise because they were too many. It was 10.00 p.m. Wednesday 7th, 2012.

Cikgu Syafiq A. Aziz as naqib formally began the usrah with a salam and umul kitab recital. The audience comprised Zaaba Ibrahim, Hj. Abdullah Hassan, Hamdan Jelani, Syed Mustaffa, Rosli, Hj. Husin Saemon, Syamsul Har, Syahril Har, Fadil and 8 other boys and of course myself. Cikgu Syfid read the following verse of the al-quran. He gave short and simple commentaries on it. Everyone understood well.

يأيها الذين ءامنوا أدخلوا في السلم كافة ولا تتبعوا خطوات الشيطان , إنه لكم عدو مبين . (سورة البقرة : 208 ) . في السلم – في الإسلام . كافة – جميعكم , أو بشرائعه كلها أو بجميع أحوالكم ظاهرا وباطنا (أي لا تنافقوا) . خطوات الشيطان – طرقه وآثاره وأعماله .

The above verse of the al-Quran was introduced by Cikgu Syfiq to the audience. We must adhere everything stipulated by the syariah. Without mention names, he pointed out that there are Muslims here who do not follow the syariah fully. They do not cover their ‘aurats’ properly, taking bribes, unfair treatments to others, etc. The clear divergence from the syariah is by not implementing the ‘syariah laws’ when they are in power in the country.

Cikgu Syafik also advised us not to discard other Islamic groups, like the Tabligh, the JIM, ABIM, etc. We should praise each other's conviction as exemplary shown by great ulamaks of the world. The PAS group will explain about its policies, while they explain theirs. We offer friendship with open hands and the result will be a win for everybody.

The impact of the usrah is great. The explanation given by the naqib Cikgu Syafik relieved every person in the audience. With the knowledge and inspiration at hand, we can now face the public campaigning for Salahuddin Ayub and Suhaizan Kaiat to win the next GE-13. Takbir!
