I refer to the case of Madam Rukumony Muthiah, whose son Allahyarham Mohamed Redzuan Abdullah (formerly Ragu Ellaiappan) a Malaysian Army Ranger who passed away in 2000 at the age of 23, leaving her as the only named beneficiary for his insurance death benefit amounting to RM56,300 as reported here.
From the report, it seems that JAWI is holding on to the money and refusing to hand over the money in total to Madam Rukumony on the grounds that she is a Hindu! The report states that JAWI has offered instead to hand over 80% of the death benefits money to her!
What the hell kind of injustice is this?
Islam places the highest respect for the mother!
Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam has stated so when asked by a man as to whom must he show the highest respect to after Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala and the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam himself?
The Prophet SAW answered ” To your mother!”
When asked by the man, “Then to whom?”
The Prophet SAW answered, ” To your mother!”
and the man asked again, ” After that to whom?”
and again the Holy Prophet SAW answered, ” Your mother!”
to which the man asked again, ” After that?”
and the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam answered, ” Your father!”.
Islam recognizes the tremendous sacrifices that the mother has made in conceiving and carrying us in our mother’s womb, suffering from all inconveniences and immeasurable pain all those long nine months of pregnancy.
The sins of the mother are all wiped out from her records once she delivers the baby and her name is entered in the portals of Jannahtul Firdaus @ the highest Paradise pending her evaluation as to her faith in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala and His Mercy upon her soul.
Such is the highest standards of love and respect plus care that mothers are given to in true Islamic teachings!
It is absolutely wrong for JAWI or any other Islamic Deprtment here or anywhere on Earth to deny the mother what she is truly entitled for as in this case!
Who gave birth to the late Allahyarham Mohamed Redzuan Abdullah?
Was it not Madam Rukumony Muthiah?
She is his mother no matter what! She has total rights to him no matter that he became a Muslim and died as one!
Her stature and status is not diminished in any which way!!!
Do the right thing and absolve yourselves of the grievous fitnah of causing further distress to her already saddened heart in losing her son and living life alone at this 61years of age as a widow.
Where is your commonsense in dealing with such matters?
JAWI does not need to take a sen of that money! It does not belong to you! You already have millions in government allocations, grants, allowances, etcetera.
The Baitulmal is flushed with cash and does not need to steal a Hindu mother’s inheritance from her dead Muslim son!
Do not dishonor Islam by doing this abhorrable act of stealing from the poor and oppressed!
I for one think that it is HARAM to touch even half a sen of that insurance death benefit from a son to his mother!!!
Enough red tape and official bureaucracy in this case! Wake up and correct this injustice at once!
It’s been 8 long years already! What bloody hell kind of administrative bullshit is this?
I am saddened to see this happening and it crushes my heart to read this in websites such as Malaysiakini and in the Straits Times of Singapore.
Do the right thing! Hand over the money due to the Hindu mother and apologize to her failing which you will just incur the Wrath of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala in committing this injustice in the name of Islam, which clearly raises the status of the mother 3 times above even the father as stated by none other than the Greatest Messenger and Mercy of Allah the Most Compassionate God of us all!
It is attitudes like these which besmear Islam for the egoistical megalomaniacs lording over us in the name of officialdom!
It is nothing but pure arrogance that blinds them to performing their duties as civil servants to us all.
Return the money to the mother or suffer the consequences both here and in the hereafter!
La haula wala quwwata illa billahil aliyyil adzhim bil sultanik!

Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong Declared a Muslim, Children ‘Disinherited’
http://juslo.blogspot.com/2008/01/tan-sri-lim-goh-tong-declared-muslim.html
let’s tackle this issue together. (no swear words this time)
Mahaguru,
Excellent Thinking, you have exhibited your deep understanding of Islam in the positive manner.
Lets get this msg to JAWI to pay the old lady the monet that she deserve to get. This should not happen to any human beings.
regards nantha
Dear fellow Malaysians.
I speak the truth as to regards where Islam stands for justice for all mankind.
It saddens my heart to see these chaps in the Islamic Affairs Departments interpret Islamic Syariah according to their own lopsided and screwed up perspectives!
They unnecessarily have complicated matters as simple as honoring a mother over her dead son’s will and inheritance that he has named her and her alone as the sole beneficiary in his insurance policy’s death benefit.
JAWI needs to rid itself of such short sighted officials and spring clean its department from such zealots!
Allah the Almighty God of us all has laid down the laws and guidelines for us in the Complete Guidance for us all as to how to live our lives here on Earth and the Final Messenger of Allah, the Blessed Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam has left us a whole complete example by his exemplary life for us to follow but people such as the ones in JAWI have screwed up a simple case like this by their recalcitrance.
I will share with you and all my readers as to what Islam really is and what it is not.
Insya Allah @ God Willing.
Let’s voice out against injustices no matter who the perpetrator is or are?
Islam stands for ‘International Standard of Living for All Mankind’.
This is what I as a Muslim Blogger and Caller to Islam believe it to be.
Those who can appreciate and understand the clear manner by which I go about sharing the truth about Islam will surely find Islam to be fair to all, even to the ones who have yet to discover its true teachings.
May Allah bless us all with His Guidance towards achieving success and peace amongst us here in this world and in the next. Ameen.
Thank you for your comments and do take care of yourselves and your loved ones.
May peace be with you all. Ameen.

Faith is to make mankind good and do justice to all. But using faith to do injustice is a becoming a new trend in M’sia. A dangerous act. There is no point calling that Islam is fair and justice, when every action is done in contrary. The basic human justice and fair should prevail irrespective of one’s faith. Sincerely the Muslims could understand this. My prayers to the Mother.
Mahaguru,
i’m ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED N PLEASED by EVERY SINGLE WORD u said, both for speaking up against the zealots AND for telling us what/how Islam should be lived. (although, i’m not suggesting that my feelings/views should b of any significance to u.)
even though we might not agree on many things, u have my MAXIMUM RESPECT for this post. it is thinkings like this that EARN RESPECT & SUPPORT from non-muslims.
THANK YOU.
Dear Children of Adam Alaihis Salam.
Islam is our birthright. It stands for peace and harmony.
Sadly, there aren’t that many of us who are Muslims who try and share the truth regarding Islam and about Almighty Allah, our God Most Merciful, Most Compassionate who has created us all and given us the faculty of reasoning, raising us in stature above all His other creations.
Whilst I am still alive here, I will share with you what I have come to discover and am myself still learning about Islam, Allah’s Gift to us in my own way.
With this internet facility before us, it makes my work so much more simpler and effective in that I get to reach all of you who live all over the world.
I am just a speck of dust currently alive here on Earth.
I hope that my writings here will be of use to those of you who are keen to learn the truth about Islam and help you to do your own studies and research about this authentic God given faith to us that unfortunately some misguided souls amongst the Muslim Ummah think that it is a special club membership reserved just to certain ethnicities or social standings.
I will shoot a video that clearly debunks that kind of distorted mentality and show you my readers of the Signs of the Creator in ourselves and explain to you what not many Muslims themselves bother to find out and realize the truth of our being!
Insya Allah.
May Peace, Mercy and Blessings of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala be upon us all.
Ameen.
