Before going to bed tonight, I wish to record my comment to the posting which appeared in http://bigdogdotcom.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/court-of-public-opinion-is-the-right-tool-w
My comment was as follows:
I would like to quote some extracts from the Mufti of Perlis (http://drmaza.com/english_section/?p=51) in respect of the above caption which is most apt to my Muslim bloggers.
“This period is like a season of ‘political fitnah’. The word fitnah is always translated by our Malay community as making untrue accusations. However, the word fitnah as it is being used by al-Quran and Sunnah does not imply such meaning.
As for the words ‘a period of fitnah’, it means a period of tests and tribulations that can potentially disturb the Muslims’ faith and life’s serenity. It confuses people making it difficult for them to make their standpoints and to hold firmly to the correct principles due to the challenges, trials and pressures that exist during that period.
Various kinds of talks are being heard everywhere. SMS’s are also flying around. All those are carrying many kinds of stories and some are humorous, some are full with anxiety and fear. It is very difficult to tell which news is genuine.”
Insha’allah, I hope that all Muslim bloggers while in “the Court of Public Opinion” adhere to the advice of the said Mufti so as not to disturb the Muslim’s faith and life’s serenity.
