“O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you….A people asked such before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.” (Qur’an 5:101-102)

Such a passage hardly inculcates a spirit of free inquiry and intellectual curiosity. And this is the wave of the future: since the Western government and media elites are now dedicated to avoiding offending Muslims at all costs, and even asking theological questions can offend Muslims, we all just must accept the dictates of our new overlords without question. Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail should have known better.
“For seeking answers on Islam, Muslim gets charged with blasphemy,” by Zurairi Ar, Malay Mail Online, May 29, 2015:
KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 — “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” is the first part of the shahadah, a declaration of faith for Muslims, which has its origins in a verse in the Quran.
“I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God,” is the second part, but unlike the first, it does not appear in any of the holy scriptures.
So, where did it come from?
This was the question on the mind of Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail, 53, when he sought clarification in 2013 from religious teachers on the origin of a practice considered as one of the key pillars of Islam.
The former businessman from Perak said he raised that question to several religious teachers, including scholars in the Ipoh mufti office, the Perak religious authorities and even state mosque imams. Many of these clerics, he said, were familiar with him as he met with them regularly for the past 15 years.
None, however, were able to answer him, so Wan Sulaiman stopped asking a year later.
But for seeking answers, Wan Sulaiman earned the attention of the Perak Islamic Religious Department (JAIP). He was summoned several times in 2014 by the authority, whose officers he claimed tried to dissuade him from posing his questions and to convince him to abandon several Quranic practices he has adopted.
The matter came to a head on January 21 this year when state religious enforcers raided his home in Ipoh and confiscated his handwritten personal notes, in addition to screening his personal computer and mobile phone.
On the same day, Wan Sulaiman was charged in the Ipoh Shariah High Court under Section 15 of the Perak Shariah Criminal Enactment 1992, with “mocking, ridiculing or insulting Quranic or hadith texts”.
According to a copy of his charge sheet sighted by Malay Mail Online, the Perak religious enforcers claimed that Wan Sulaiman possessed notes, some of which were hung on his wall, that allegedly “ridicule” the hadith — the collections of Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and deeds.
Wan Sulaiman, however, insisted that the notes were meant only for his personal use.
The prosecution also accused him of disputing authentic hadith for failing to interpret the Quran, and of rejecting the shahadah as taught by Muhammad by allegedly only accepting the first part.
He was also accused of translating the terms “fajar prayers” and “wusto prayers” by “using his own intellect without referring to the Prophet’s hadith”.
His case was set to be heard on May 21, but it was postponed to July 2. If guilty, Wan Sulaiman can be fined not more than RM5,000, jailed not more than three years, or both….

why associate John Jinapor's name to what his father is purported to have done? isn't the father old enough to own up to his actions? has the father's action got anything to do with his son or did the son influence his father to take his action which is purely traditional (chieftancy)? stop this nonsense of your desperate attempt to tarnish others' reputation due to your stomach journalism influenced by politics.

Any govt or system that refuses to acknowledge or respect the fact that Ghana belongs to the Akans is by the hand of God doomed to fail. This is evident from the bond of !
1844 and agreements of 1871 are they are the basis and our Magna carta. NDC has a foreign oppression govt in which the stakeholders or true intelligentsia of the Akans do not participate or are excluded but rather insulted , humiliated and wantonly abused. Like all oppressive govts when they see their days are number switch from their pro islamic affinities and all of a sudden remember the America are allies of brothers like we witnessed with Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein and the eastern European criminal regimes of Ceausescu in Romania. Today we have a govt in which the cardinal inner cabinet ministers such as interior , defense , finance are all non Akans . This ndc promotes the exultation of minorities and preys on the divide and rule tactics that lead only to the death of our economy. Its very interesting the posture of this ndc mafia, they know they have lost but still clutch to straws of false hope. The world confirms this bloated register , unheard of wanton looting , corruption and hegemony/tribalism of pepeni/ayigbe but they instead of resigning collectively choose to annoy us with more propaganda lies. They waste their money buying millions of bullets and arms but fail to realse even with 500 atomic bombs they will lose as war is about the awareness of the people and state of mind of the defending majority. We salute the chiefs , politicians , bishops who are not afraid to stand up for justice and respect to the market women who reject gifts of treachery. We have won , and the stakeholders of our friendly nations know the truth so we will not waste our time with fake diplomats or those who dont known what time it is. We show thanks to the British and Germans for confirming the bloated register and other atrocities of corruption we witness .

Is it that u are not educated or what?……how could you make such assertion that Ghana belongs to the akans?……if u think u are doing Npp any good with your senseless, useless and needless statements then I am sorry for u. Remember there are people in the north who are " pepe fuo" but vote the npp. It is for the likes of u that the npp looses elections in this country. Ghana is too big to belong to just a fraction of people. Be wise and don't be stupid

Don't worry yourself stressing yourself to find out truth in Islam. There is no truth in that satanic Islam. You can just witness what a harm Islam to this world. For the past ten years, in the name of Islam,these Islamic brute jihadists have killed more innocent people both Christians and some followers of Islam than any other causes of deathin the world.

All the practices of Islam is kill them if they won't submit to blood thirsty Allah and his pedophile Mohammed. Please, stay away from Islam if you don't want to end up in hell fire. There is nothing in Islam that will benefit you spiritually and physically. It is deceptive sham religion controlled by the devil himself. Islam is an armed wing of Satan's kingdom. I am no mor in that. I ran fast from it when I found out the truth. JESUS CHRIST is my Lord and Savior now. I am free indeed, for I have known the TRUTH>

It is an extreme insult for Mahama to think that the people of Volta region just need appointment of Prosper Bani and we will vote for him and NDC. Our eyes are now open and we refuse to be the world bank of NDC. Amenfi bye-election has open our eyes that we should not be taken for granted. We want to be the region that forms government based on national development and not a sure banker for NDC. Though we do not like the NPP much, our people were happy and enjoyed the interventions introduced by the party. Life was better under NPP than the current NDC administration. NDC is fooling us and treat us as idiots who will vote for them no matter what. Ghana has moved on and we are also moving on. We the Voltarians want to be like the Western, Central, Northern, and Brong Ahafo regions which always decide which party will form government. Re-appointing Prosper Bani will not improve the lot of the people in Volta region. Please stop insulting our intelligence. WE CANT CONTINUE TO SELL OUR INTELLIGENCE TO SLAVERY OF NDC PARTY.
