Question of Priorities - Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas (4 December 2021)

[@aisyah4708]

Well said Dr. It's really sad to see what's happening here in Malaysia in the name of Islam. There's a saying sounds like this "we can wake up a person from sleep but not the one who pretend to be sleeping".

This is so very enlightening. Great admiration for this knowledgeable man. May he be abundantly Blessed by the Almighty.

"I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without expectations of rewards or punishments after I am dead.” “Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.” More than Religion, we need Humanity. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Dear Dr Syed Ali, Hope this message finds you in good health. What you have mentioned here and in previous videos is an eye opener to many, including myself. I wish you could do more videos in bahasa so that it can reach a wider audience especially the Malay folks. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

This is great feed any muslim should listen. Is about prioritizing the things/contents in the Quran. MashaAllah! Dr Syed Ali .. thank you very much for sharing!

[@ragulanadason3108]

Dear Sir Dato...I personally Appreciate your knowledge on your respectable views...Almost all Islamic leaders(especially d political ones) will try their level best to prevent & stop your speech from being exposed to d rural malays folks..so as to stay in power....your good self should explain in Malay language to d innocent rural malays

[@mustanggemini2156]

A Knowledgeable and Independent political affiliation should be the main character to rule the country. Amen.

[@alexgoh7304]

Datuk is a prominent political thinker and intellectual.

[@farlin2003]

Well said sir

[@khookhoo155]

Absolutely right.by nature,men are nearly alike,by practise ,they getting be wide apart. .the prorority most in thier big pocket

[@mohdaziz1242]

they r not focusing on enlightening muslims on issue of faith and character but are fanatically bent on handing out strict punishment...even when the Quran always ends a verse on punishment with the verse ...and God is most forgiving....I get you Sir...thank you for this.

[@firdouseghouse8869]

Agreed, most muslims in malaysia are fekah centrict,too obsessed about hukum hakam,where as the aspect of tauhid is not given the same importance. Quran is too emphasised on tajwid but the meaning/tadabbur is not equally emphasised

[@rotomotor]

melayu malaysia perlu berhenti sejenak, duduk tenang dan berfikir secara mendalam apa sebenarnya yang kita tahu, lihat sekeliling, tengok dan teliti yang kita dengar selama ini apakah itulah yang kebenaran , apa sebenarnya yang kita belajar dan apa yang telah diajar oleh mereka yang kita anggap sebagai guru... benarkah untuk kebaikan kita, kebaikan keluarga kita, kebaikan masyarakat sekeliling kita, kebaikan sejagat kah ilmu yang kita ada buat perbandingan dengan temadum islam terdahulu..apakah kita semakin baik atau sebaliknya.. didikan sebagaimana yang sebaiknya untuk anak-anak kita, untuk kebaikan negara kita. kita perlu tahu berfikir untuk mencari kebenaran.

[@Philatherapist]

Very interesting indeed and certainly an unheard approach of understanding the Quran better, at least for me.Appreciate it if the ‘pie chart’ could be shared for those who are concern on the degree of corruption to knowledge to learn more .There is a saying that the ‘ulama is the inheritor (pewaris) nabi’ and it was randomly used by the so called ‘ulama’ of today and I always doubt that statement.

[@lokmannor]

Salam Dr I just found your youtube channel and love every bit of it so far. I'd like to suggest to you or your team to upload all these into podcast version which can be listened on Spotify and similar platforms. Thank you

[@zukulfelizakaria6571]

Yes, Iman. Top priority. It must begin with Tauhid, akidah , not Ibadah or Syariah Law.

[@toiletroll6494]

Dr.Syed - with yours and your fathers knowlege transfer about islam and islamic faith - one question the entire nation would like to know is whether do you agree with what Naik Zakir preaches ?

[@toiletroll6494]

Dato can you comment of recent killing of sri lankan muslim in Pakistan in relation to burning of the quran. Is quran more value then a human life ? Would allah be proud for the mob killing a innocent soul ?

[@khalilbonjol8711]

I am another viewer. The Quran or hadith allow action ending up in killing of another person in physical self-defence whether in war or not. The Islamic criminal law system basically does not specify killing as a form of punishment. What happens in practice is that the Quran and Hadiths are INTERPRETED as to allow killing as punishment and differ from country to country. The Pakistan case is not unique within that country and even Pakistanis deviating from the majority Islamic sect are known to have been lynched and killed. Non-muslims are an important component of Pakistan's population. Few other muslim countries emulate Pakistan in such practice.

[@toiletroll6494]

@@khalilbonjol8711 thank you for explanation, I have found that fanatism among muslim religious believer getting very much extreme beyond humanly values - what are this belivers afaird of ? What I was told and claiming islam is under attack- not sure who or what - they seems to be confused and hate anything not islamic. This is not just in pakistan, other islamic country but in malaysia where moderate islam is practiced.

Negative ways to gain personal power.

[@merlinf2869]

power(so called)consumes people and vice versa

[@simkwakia]

If the political and education policy of the country is based on race, religion and ketuanan-ism, then Malaysia will still live in a third-world mentality and outlook, resulting in regression and stagnation, even given the country another 30 years or more.

[@navaratnamselvaduray2179]

I'm still wondering how on earth we measure one's Iman Sir..? Is it by weight or by area in size. When Baginda Nabi Muhammad SAW himself has reminded that only Allah SWT n not HH d Prophet who can know d contents of anyone's heart. It's not what we claim to have so much Iman Sir.. Wassallam

[@mikemahen5293]

They are Ulatmak.

[@mohdaziz1242]

most Malaysian Muslims i meet are calculative judgemental mechanical in their outward practices and lack spiritual depth that is borne out of far sightedness compassion intellect and 'ihsan'-that is God consciousness...we need spiritual teachers.
