The ulamas dont agree. Religions and celebrations shouldnt mix in the cauldron. It brings fire unnecessary to the people. Is it a pagan celebration? Is it so celebrating on a particular religion? One has to look at overall theme of kongsi raya. This is a celebration of people sharing joy and food and drink throw in some music to enlighten the night. If it brings peace to mankind, then it shouldn't be wrong to celebrate. If it doesnt worship any idol of any kind during the occasion, why should the ulamas interfere. Theology remains as such platform. Involving the like minded people to debate and share views which it can't wash down as the truth. God/Allah has given us enough to last many thousand years to digest what He intends us to do. God/Allah wants peace on mankind. He doesn't want bloodshed or wrong signals to incite hatreds amongst fellow humans. Currently Islam is viewed in a very bad light. All because of the ulamas who dont know the difference of peace and war. Jihad is to improve oneself and on extension to family members and on extension to the community and state then the world. There shouldnt be any life lost in pursued of Jihad. The ulamas called it a different tune...which reminds me of what Jesus(pbuh) said in his ministry 'every wolf in sheep clothing' influencing the people that it is the word of God..When the ulamas have their own agendas, the people should be aware of them. They aren't the prophets neither they are God chosen people.
We have Najib supporting these ulamas. What he was thinking? On one hand he says we are living in the multi-religious background and multi-cultural settings sharing our open houses to show each other hospitality...then he dropped a bombshell on kongsi raya. So when PM said kongsi raya would go on, I pity Najib for not reading the sentiments of the people. Will he become a good PM one day? The way he is conducting himself I guess he will find it hard to become one. He has to remember Malaysia is not for the Malays. Currently the Malays are the majority race in the country but Malaysia is not theirs alone!! I just don't like them to say fighting for the race....what about the other races in the country? The way they always say I think it will be a long way to call ourselves truly MALAYSIAN
MALAYSIA is for all Malaysians!!
