“We sent aforetime our apostles with clear signs and sent down with them The Book and the balance (Of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice” — Sūra. Ḥadīd 25

Sheikh Ilyas speaking at a campaign rally in Addu City highlighted the emphasis of Islam to maintain justice and side step oppression after quoting a verse from Surah An-Nahl. Surah which we hear in every Friday sermon .

“Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.”

God has clearly ordered mankind to be just and not to oppress each other. Yameen Abdul Qayoom has failed to obey this divine order. Claims he is a devout believer and call anyone who opposes him profane or godless. Any form of oppression is prohibited and condemned in our religion, Islam. Yameen knows this all too well and he still keeps jailing his opposition, blocking justice being an oppressive dictator he is.

Our justice system and the institution that are supposed to protect the people have failed in their duty. Sheikh Ilyas reminded and advised them to choose justice over oppression. Advised the judiciary, and the law enforcement agencies to stay away from Yameen after reciting a verse from Surah An-Nisa. -”Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which Allah has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate.”

The institutions that are here to protect the Maldivian people must only follow the holy book and divine orders of Allah. That is the ultimate council. Not unjust orders of Yameen and his companions. If we are to protect Islam, we are to stand against Yameen’s injustice, oppression and corruption. Maldivians are not foolish to fall for his machination of Islam. He has been using the religion card to justify his injustice and corruption for too long.

Today all the respected Islamic scholars and teachers of Islam are raising their voice against Yameen. They all are standing up against his tyranny and spreading true message of God. Because we all deserve to know the truth. Because we all should know what is right and wrong. Because we all seek justice and because we all long for a day we can remove injustice, oppression and corruption from our small and peaceful nation. That is our definition of Islam that contradicts Yameen’s school of thought
