Addressing UN General Assembly Leader of the Revolution Chairman of the AU Offers Radical Solutions That Could Rock UN Foundations
New York : 23. 9. 2009
leader of the Revolution, Chairman of African Union, King of African Traditional Kings offered in his speech today before the 64th session of the United Nations' General Assembly radical solutions that could rock the tumbling structure of the UN Organization and building instead a new international structure based on equality between nations big and small and free from veto and permanent and temporary seats and to restore proper respect of the UN General Assembly which is the Congress of the world .
Following is the text of the leader's address :
In the name of Allah.
Gentlemen members of the UN General Assembly :
I salute you on behalf of the African Union and I pray that this session be historic in the life of the world .
ِAnd in the name of UN General Assembly that Libya presides over and in the name of the African Union and the name of ( 1000 ) African traditional kingdoms .. I extend our congratulations to our Son President '' Obama '' because he attends with us the GA meeting for the first time as President of the United States of America . We salute him since he is the host country .
This convention comes at the climax of a several challenges that face us all and that the world should unite and make serious efforts to overcome these challenges that constitute the common enemy.
Climate change, financial crisis , collapse of capitalist economy , food and water crisis , desertification , terrorism, immigration , spread of diseases created by man himself and others because some of the viruses are manufactures as weapons and became beyond control .
Perhaps Swine Flu is one of these viruses that were not controlled and it is produced in laboratories as war weapon.
Also the horrible nuclear spread , in addition to other terrorism , the spread of hypocrisy , fear and atheism moral deterioration and material dominance .
All this constitutes a common enemy to all of us .
Gentlemen :
You know that the united Nations started first with three or four nations united against Germany .., This is the United Nations and not the UN Organization .
The UN Organization of today is something else. but the United Nations is the countries that united against Germany in the Second World War and these countries formed a Council called it Security Council and they gave themselves permanent seats and the veto .
We were not present, it was tailored by the United Nations and we were asked to wear this dress which was tailored by these three or four nations that united against Germany .
This is the truth and this is the base of this international organization.
The happened in the absence of ( 165 ) present today , that means ( 1 to 8 ) or 1 present and 8 absent.
They are the ones who made the UN Charter which is with me . Its preamble is something and its articles are another thing .
How did that happen ?
Those who were present in San Francisco in 45 participated in making the preamble and they left other articles including rules of the so called Security Council to experts, technicians and politicians of the countries interested in this subject , it is the countries that created the Security Council , the nations that united against Germany .
The preamble is very tempting and there is no objection on it , but everything that came afterwards contradicts with the preamble. and this what we are facing now , we protest against it and reject it and that cannot continue because it is outdated and belongs to the period during the World War II .
The preamble says that nations big and small are equal .
Are we equal regarding the permanent seats ? Not at all .
The preamble says that United Nations big and small are equal in rights .
Alright .. Are we equal regarding the veto right ?!
According to the preamble , all nations , big and small are equal in rights . This is what we approved .
Therefore, the veto is against the Charter and so are the permanent seats. This we cannot recognize or accept.
The Charter states in its preamble '' We are committed not to use armed force in other than the common interest ''. This we rejoiced and signed and joined the United Nations in accordance with that .
But , ( 65 ) wars took place after the establishment of the United Nations and the Security Council in its current form and after this commitment millions were victims more than the World War .
Are all these aggressions and wars were used for common interest ?! not at all . That was in the interest of one particular nations or maybe two or three .
This is in clear and open contradiction with the Charter's preamble that we accepted and the joined the organization accordingly .
If the matter does not comply with the preamble that we approved , then even our presence in this organization is no longer valid as of now .
We do not flatter nor make diplomatic statements ..we are not scared nor can we compromise when it comes to the destiny of the world.
We now talk about the destiny of the world ..the destiny of the planet and the human race ..when it comes to these crucial issues there can be no flattering, procrastination or hypocrisy because that led to 65 wars after establishment of the United Nations.
The preamble says if force is used there should be a United Nation force.. a common force ..a UN war staff not just one country or two or three..the United Nations together should decide whether to use force to keep world peace.
If aggression occurred against one country after 1945 when the organisation was set up, the UN will come to its defence and repel the aggression.
If Libya aggressed on France for example, the UN will repel the aggression because France is a sovereign country.
We are committed to defend the sovereignty of nations in a collective fashion, but that did not prevent the outbreak of 65 wars of aggression with the UN doing nothing to curb them, including eight major wars that claimed the lives of millions of people, perpetrated by a veto holding member of the Security Council.
The states that we thought would repel aggression protect peoples turned out to the ones that used aggressive force while enjoying the veto.
There is nothing in this Charter that allow the United Nations to interfere in internal sovereignty of another country .
In other words , ruling system is internal affair , no one else has the right to interfere in it and it is the responsibility of the concerned society to have dictatorial, democratic, socialist , capitalist , reactionary or progressive system . It is an internal affair .
Once Rome has voted for Julius Caesar to be a dictator and the Senate gave him the authority to be dictator because they thought that dictatorship was useful to Rome then . This is an internal affair . Who can say to Rome , why did you that ?That is making of Caesar a dictator ruler !
The preamble is what we have agreed upon , but the veto that came afterwards is not mentioned in the Charter .
If they told us there is a veto right , we would not have joined the UN , we joined the UN because we are equal in rights .
But when one country has the veto over all our resolutions and enjoys a permanent seat , Who gave her that permanent seat ?!
These four nations gave themselves the permanent seat .
The only nation that we voted for in this assembly to have a permanent seat is China . We gave our votes to China to become a permanent member of the Security Council . It is the only country that her presence is democratic , but the presence of the other four seats is undemocratic , rather it is dictatorial and imposed on us , so we do not recognize that and it does not apply to us .
Reforming the United Nations is not by increasing the number of seats at the Security Council ..because that would just add insult to injury..since there will be countries who would be joined to the others and would further tip the balance.
Therefore we object to increasing the number of seats ..the solution is not increasing the seats ..this will run against the interests of the third world countries the "Forum of Small States" or "G 100"..these will be trampled on by fresh major powers joining the old list..this is unacceptable.
Moreover, opening the door to increase seats in the Security Council will create more injustice and high tension worldwide . It will intensify competition for seats in the SC and we are going to enter in a competition with very very important group of nations .
There is going to be a contest between Italy , Germany , Indonesia , India , Pakistan , the Philippines , Japan , Brazil, Argentine , Nigeria , Algeria , Libya , Egypt , Congo , South Africa , Tanzania, Turkey , Iran , Greece, the Ukraine .
All these countries will demand to have seat in the Security Council . In this case competition is to continue till members of the Security Council will be equal to those in this Assembly which is impractical.
So , what is the solution ?
Now , the solution put forth before the GA presided over by '' Ali Triki '' and where a decision is to be taken by voting , and the abiding resolution is that of the majority of the GA without regard to any other side . The solution is to close the door for membership and for increasing the number of seats in the Security Council - This is to be introduced to the General Assembly , the Secretary General and Triki - and that will be replaced by Unions' membership to achieve democracy through equality between member states and to transfer the powers of the Security Council to the General Assembly .
Membership is for unions not countries because if it was made available for all countries, every country would have wished to get a seat in the council and this is its right according to the preamble, so who would claim the right to deny these countries their rights.
Who can deny Italy the right to claim this right ..it would say I pulled from the axis and joined the allies unlike Germany which was the aggressor ..not today's Germany the Nazi Germany.
If we give India a seat which we say it deserves, Pakistan will protest ..it is a country with nuclear weapons and they are in a state of war ..this is serious.
If Japan was offered a seat why not Indonesia, the largest Muslim state?
What about Turkey, Iran, Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina, and Libya which renounced its WMD programs, it too deserves a seat at the Security Council.
Then comes Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, Congo, South Africa, and Tanzania, all these are important countries.
This door should be shut..extension of the Security Council is a hoax..how can we reform the United Nations and then bring in other major countries to join the other major powers from which we suffer.
The solution is to achieve democracy on the level of the congress of the world, the General Assembly ..whereby the Security council becomes the instrument of execution of the General Assembly resolutions.
The General Assembly is the parliament of the world the congress of the world , the legislative body , the democracy and the Security Council should be from now on subjected to it .
This is the legislative authority ..and these are the lawmakers of the General Assembly.. they wrote that the General Assembly do so and so on the basis of the General Assembly ..but the proper thing is to the contrary ..that the Security Council do so and so in accordance with the recommendations of the General Assembly..there are 190 nations which the United Nations is made off , versus 10 persons in the adjacent hall ..what kind of democracy is this? how can we be sure of the world peace if our destiny lies in the hands of ten members who are under the control of four or one country..we are here like a Hyde Park..you made to act like a decor.. you have no value it is like talking in the Hyde Park you talk and go.
Membership is for unions not countries because if it was made available for all countries, every country would have wished to get a seat in the council and this is its right according to the preamble, so who would claim the right to deny these countries their rights.
Who can deny Italy the right to claim this right ..it would say I pulled from the axis and joined the allies unlike Germany which was the aggressor ..not today's Germany the Nazi Germany.
If we give India a seat which we say it deserves, Pakistan will protest ..it is a country with nuclear weapons and they are in a state of war ..this is serious.
If Japan was offered a seat why not Indonesia, the largest Muslim state?
What about Turkey, Iran, Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina, and Libya which renounced its WMD programs, it too deserves a seat at the Security Council.
Then comes Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, Congo, South Africa, and Tanzania, all these are important countries.
This door should be shut..extension of the Security Council is a hoax..how can we reform the United Nations and then bring in other major countries to join the other major powers from which we suffer.
The Security Council is merely an executive body of the resolutions of the UN General Assembly, and when the Security Council becomes a mere executive body, there would be no competition for the Council seats.
The Security Council should be represent all nations, and not by a nation, what is presented now to the General Assembly is a permanent for every space...every union:
- A permanent seat in the Security Council for the 27 EU countries.
- A permanent seat for the 53 AU countries.
- A permanent seat for Latin America Union.
- A permanent seat for ASEAN 10+2+3+4.
- The Russian federation already has a seat in the Security Council.
- The American Union, which is 50 states "United States of America" already has a permanent seat.
- A permanent seat for SARC, if established.
- We have the G.100, we're thinking about it, perhaps the small nations "Forum for Small States" "FSS" could also have a permanent seat.
And there are other nations out of the unions I have mentioned, a permanent seat could be given alternatively every six month or every year.
Perhaps Japan, Australia or New Zealand are not in a union, none of these countries has joined ASEAN, there are not in the Russian Federation, nor the African Union, not the European Union, nor the Latin American, nor the United States, a seat could be allocated.
This is what's presented to you...to the General Assembly for voting. This is the decisive essential issue, presented to the General Assembly the master of the world...the world's parliament...it is the world's congress, no one opposes it and we will not recognize anyone outside the hall, we're the United Nations.
Dr. Ali Treki (President GA from Libya) and Ban Ki-moon will make the administrative and legal drafts, form committees that will vote on this issue, the Security Council, from now on, will formed of unions. This is justice and democracy and we're finished with the Security Council which is occupied by certain nations...one possess atomic bomb, another possess economic power, other possess technology, and another possess technique...this is terrorism. We cannot live in a Security Council dominated by those with overwhelming powers...this is terrorism. This is if you want a world that lives in united and secure and peaceful, and if you want to us to live in terrorism, live in conflict...let us continue conflict until judgment day. All of these seats should have veto, or there should be no veto.
The Security Council in form should either all the union seats have a veto or annul veto from the Security Council with its new form. This is the genuine Security Council. In any case, the Security Council with its new form is presented for vote, it is an executive instrument for the General Assembly.
Sovereignty is for nations...for 190 nation that are present...this is how all nations should be equal in the Security Council, just as in the General Assembly.
We in the General Assembly have equal votes, we should also be equal in the adjacent room, the Security Council.
But for a nation to have veto power...and another does not, a nation to have a permanent seat and another that does not, this is annulled as of now, we absolutely do not recognize this and we will not be subject to any resolution passed by the Security Council with its current form.
Now, we've come...we're colonized...we're under trusteeship, now we have gained independence and united, we want to determine the world's destiny in a democratic way that preserves peace and security for all peoples equally, small and powerful. Terrorism is not only the terrorism of Al-Qaeda, the status quo is terrorism. Recourse is only to the majority of votes in the General Assembly and not to any other side, and if the General Assembly votes this, it becomes in force, no one can oppose this or say he is above the General Assembly, and any who says he is above it can leave the United Nations. Democracy is neither for the powerful, nor the rich nor those who terrorize us.
The last word is for all nations equally. As for now, the Security Council is a feudal security...a feudal policy for permanent members, it protects them and they use it against us, hence, it should not be called the Security Council rather the Terror Council.
Brothers, you can in our political life when they want to use the Security Council against us they resort to it, and if they do not need to use it against us, they ignore it, and if they have interest in the charter to use it against us, they respect and sanctify it, they search for the 7th chapter to apply it against these nations, and if they want to carry out an act in violation of the charter they would ignore it as if it did not exist.
It is unjust and terrorism that veto and permanent seat are for the powerful, we can neither take this nor can we live under it.
Powerful nations have saturated interests in the world, and they use veto, they use the force of the UN to protect their interests...this is terrorizing the third world, the third world is now terrorized, they are living under terrorism.
Since the Security Council was established in 1945 and until now it didn't provide security for us, rather provided punishments and terror...it is only used against us, therefore, we are not obliged to obey Security Council resolutions as from the fortieth speech.
65 wars were waged since the establishment of the Security Council...against small nations, or fighting against each other, or an aggression by superpower against a small nation, the Security Council did not deter a violation of the charter.
The General Assembly will vote on these historic solutions and afterwards we could either continue together or be divided in two: equal nations that have their own assembly and Security Council, and veto-wielding powers remain in their council of four, five or three, as they want, we're not with them, they should apply veto against each other...this does not concern us, and remain permanently in these seats, this does not concern us, God is permanent.
As of now, we cannot remain under the dominance of the veto-wielding powers, which they gave themselves.
We did not give them this, we would be fools to give veto and permanent seats to a group of nations, and discredit other nations and consider them inferior and despicable, and say they do neither deserve permanent seats nor veto power.
Why do we degrade nations?!
We did not decide this, certain nations are sanctified and respected...these are the nations of the world...they are 190 nations.
You realize that now there is disregard to Security Council resolutions after we were assured that it is only used against us and never used against superpowers.
The Security Council could never be use against veto-wielding powers...there could never be a resolution against the superpowers.
Hence, it's created against us, and consequently, resolutions it passes are being laughed at and ignored, this has become a farce for the United Nations, now actions are being taken outside the UN: aggression, wars, invasion of sovereign nations, destroying their sovereignty and independence, committing war crimes, collective extermination and violation of the charter, and the Security Council is there...not interested in the Security Council.
The important thing is that every international group started to form a security council of its own to tackle its problems and issues , . Henceforth, the Security Council in its present form , attending this session gradually becomes isolated .
- African Union formed '' MAS '' which is African Peace and Security Council .
-European Union will form a security Council .
- ASEAN will do so to and so is Latin America .
Non-Alignment Movement ( 120 ) countries is considering this option .
This indicates that we have lost confidence in the current Security Council since it did not provide us with security and , in turn , we resorted to regional councils .There is no o0bligation on our part to obey the SC in its current form in which we are not partners in it . It is undemocratic construction . and oppressive dictatorship and no one can force us to stay in this council or obey its orders.
The United Nations has no standing or any value ..nor any affect in the life and the peace of the world .
The International Court of Justice has its decisions implemented on small countries and on third world countries but not on the powerful. In front of me are the decisions of the court which other countries refused to implement.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is an important UN body but the major powers are not answerable to it.. it is merely made for us ..if it is international as you say it should inspect the atomic stock of the nuclear countries ..as of this speech.
Ali al Treiki in the General Assembly will question the Director of the agency and question al Braedei to see if they looking into the stockpiles of these countries.
If they say yes these countries are subject to inspection ..so we will be subject to inspection ..but if not we will slab the door shut in it s face.
For your information , gentlemen, I called '' al-Baradie'' during the Libyan nuclear bomb crisis - the ex- director before the current one , and I said to him Mr. '' al-Baradie '' Are the agreements on reducing weapons of mass destruction agreed upon by the nuclear powers , are under your supervision ? and did they really reduced abide by the reduction and are you aware of any violations regarding this matter ? His answer was '' Not at all '' . He told me that he cannot ask the big powers on this subject .
Therefore, you only came to us, get out .
This is not an international agency .. It is imposed only on us .
The Security Council is imposed on us , So is the international Court of Justice. This is not United Nations .
This is not fair .. this is not a security . this is unacceptable .
Regarding Africa, '' Dr. Ali Triki '' whether they reformed the United Nations or not and even before voting on the historic proposals that I presented now before the General Assembly and it will be subjected to voting and Africa as of now needs a permanent seat in the SC with full authorities as a compensation for the past , even if the UN reform is not under consideration .
Africa is an isolated colonized and wronged , they regard it like animals , then after that they used for slavery trade , then it is considered like colonies under mandate.
This continent .. the African Union , deserves a permanent seat as compensation for the past exactly like China and this right is not related to UN reform .
This is on the table and has the priority, it is immediately referred to the GA and no one can sway that Africa .. The African Union does not deserve a permanent seat .
Any one has an argument let him give me an answer and discuss that with me . Who has an evidence to prove that the African continent does not deserve a permanent seat ?!.
No one can give an answer .
It is proposed to the general assembly to vote for the compensation of the countries that were colonised in order that colonisation is not repeated and in order not to repeat the robbery of the wealth of nations and not to repeat the immigration of these countries to the nations that robbed their wealth.
Why do Africans to to Europe and why do Asians and Latin Americans go to Europe? It is because Europe colonised Africa, Asia and Latin America. It took the gold, silver, copper, diamonds, iron, uranium and all other valuable minerals as well as oil, vegetables, foods, livestock and human beings.
We have a new African generation and a new Asian and Latin American generation. They are after this stolen wealth and they have the right and we are incapable of stopping them.
When I stop a thousand Africans going to Europe on the Libyan borders they say I am going after the stolen wealth. If you return it I will remain. Who will return it to them. There has to be a resolution to return this wealth to stop immigration. You have to return the stolen wealth.
Africa deserves compensation to the tune of 777 trillion that is seven hundred and seventy seven trillion as compensation for Africa from the coloniser countries and Africa will demand that. And if these trillions are not returned the Africans will keep going to where you have invested these trillions and they have the right to go after it. You return it to them and they will stop. There is no Libyan immigration to Italy which is the closest country to Libya. That is because Italy decided to compensate the Libyan people for colonisation and apologised and signed a treaty with Libya ratified by the Libyan and Italian people to turn the page of the past.
Italy acknowledged that colonisation is wrong, a failed programme and it will not return and Italy will not allow any aggression against Libya but sea, air or land from Italy or from any other place. Italy is compensating Libya for twenty years of colonisation. It is paying a quarter of a billion annually. It is building hospitals for those children whose limbs were dismembered through the mines planted by the Italians during the two world wars. Italy apologised and expressed regret for the colonisation. Italy has done the glorious thing. This is a historic action. It is a civilised action by Berluconi and has to be an example.
The third world is claiming its right in compensation in order that the colonisation is never repeated and in order that any country in the third world contemplating colonising other countries that it will be asked to compensate. Then this state will say I will not colonise any state.
In order that colonisation is not repeated it has to be held accountable, penalised and compensation must be paid.
The second point which I hope to face patiently is rather sensitive. There will be some sentences which I mentioned in brackets. Undoubtedly we the real Africans are happy and proud that one of Africa's sons has become president of the USA. This is a historic event at the time when the black was not admitted to the cafe of the white, nor the restaurant of the white and was not allowed in the bus of the white. Now the American people have voted enthusiastically for Obama, the African-Kenyan black youth to become the US president. This is something great which we are proud of. We consider it the beginning of the change and he has raised the slogan for change.
However I consider Obama as a beacon in the darkness for about four or eight years but I am afraid things will come to the old habit because nobody guarantees anything after Obama. Nobody guarantees it, not the chairman nor Ban ki-Moon. We are satisfied at present and wish Obama to be permanently President of the USA.
We are not disputing the speech delivered by our son Obama before me. He is totally different from any American president. Americans in the past used to say we will send you cast bullets and the mother of all bombs. This seems to be the grandmother of all bombs. We will send you clusters of grapes, our summer rainfall, the desert storm, rolling thunder and we will send you the poisonous rose for Libya's children in 1986. That was the logic when an American president spoke from this forum. That was the way they spoke and terrorised the world. They said we will send you all these things as was sent to Vietnam and as was sent to Iraq and as was sent to Egypt in 1956 and we will send you the poisonous rose 'El Dorado' which was sent by Reagan to the children of Libya in 1986.
Imagine the president of the largest country which we are assured of and has a permanent seat in the Security Council and we expect it to protect our independence and defend us from aggression saying I decided to send the poisonous rose to the Libyan children and anyone who smells it dies.
What is the poisonous rose? It is the lazer bomb, airbourne by F111. That was the logic at the time. They used to say we will lead the world and we will take on anyone who differs with us, whether you like it or not.
The speech which was thankfully made by our son Obama is totally different from the past. He calls for abandoning nuclear weapons and this is something we applaud. He says America could not solve the problems of the world unilaterally and the world has to solve its problems. He said the present situation should not go on. We should not come to meet, speak and then go away and we agreed to that. He said that the United Nations was always a forum for disputes. We used to meet to attack each other. This is right and it has to end. We have to unite and agree on international institutions where we are all equal and happy.
He says democracy could not be imposed from abroad, whereas the former American President used to say we have to impose democracy on Iraq and on others.
This is an internal affair. It is for the state to be democratic or not. Each state has its own culture and heritage. This is correct but this language was not there. Accordingly we have to be quite alert to this sensitive point. The world has to consider phrase 'multi polar world'.
There shouldn't be a multi polar world. There should be equal nations. No one agrees to a world of multi poles. Why shouldn't we become equal nations without any poles? Are we required to have a patriach? Do we need idols? We don't need a multi polar world. This means the poles will clash and we reject it. We want a world where all nations, large and small are equal without any pole.
The sensitive point is the seat of the UN. This headquarters. You have all come from overseas and beyond the oceans and from beyond the continents in order to get to this place. Why? Is this Al Quds? Is it the Vatican? Is it Mecca. You are all tired and sleepy and your timing has changed and you are physically exhausted. Some of you travelled for 20 hours. How can you deliver speeches and tackle the future of the world? You are all sleepy and it is clear you are all tired. Your countries are now asleep because it is midnight but you awake and you should have been in bed because this is your timing. Today I woke up at 4 New York time because in Libya this is 11am. And this very late in Libya. But I am awake from 4am. Why should we have such trouble? If this is the situation in 1945 then it shouldn't go on at present. You have to think in a middle place that is more comfortable. This is the first point.
The other good point is that the host country shoulders the cost of securing the United Nations headquarters and securing the permanent missions and securing scores of presidents who come to this place every year. This requires strict security and high costs and New York and America live in tension.
I want to alleviate this burden. You have to alleviate the burden from America and you thank America and you can say you want to help it and we want New York to be quiet and America to be quiet and not to shoulder any more responsibility for scores of presidents coming to this place.
Suppose a presidential plane is bombed or a presidential car is bombed. Terrorists could do it.
For your information this headquarters is targeted by Al Qaeda. Yes this headquarters is targeted and we wonder why it was not struck in 9/11. It could be involuntary. Probably the flights were aborted but the next target is this place and I don't speak in a vacuum. We have scores of Al Qaeda members detained in our prisons and their confessions are highly worrying.
This makes America live nervously because this building may be attacked one day by a hijacked plane or a rocket and scores of presidents may die. We want to rid America of this worry. We could thank America and say we want to help you and confer the headquarters to another place that is not targted.
This headquarters is supposed to be transferred after 50 years to the other part of the globe. Fifty years in the western hemisphere is enough. The next 50 years should be in the other hemisphere and this could rotate every 50 years to the east, to the west and to the centre.
The headquarters has been here for 64 years. That is 14 years more than the presumed term for the transfer of the seat.
Of course this not undermine America. In fact this is a service to America. It is a help for America and we thank America but the situation of 1945 should not be maintained. We do not accept that.
This is proposed for a vote in the general assembly. Only in the general assembly because article 23 of the agreement of 1947 says 'the UN seat is to be transferred only by a resolution from the general assembly by a simple majority. This means if 51 percent agree then the seat is to be transferred.
We are not obliged to tolerate all this trouble, to come from India, the Philippines or Australia to here.
I am surprised that my brother President Ahmed took 14 hours to come by air from the Comoros. They told him you come and deliver a speech. How can he deliver a speech with such trouble.
There are some restrictions which annoy some people arriving from abroad. America has the right to impose tough restrictions because it is targeted by Al Qaeda and the terrorists. It has the right and we do not dispute that. But we are not to shoulder these unnecessary formalities. It is not necessary to come to New York and these formalities are not necessary.
One president has complained to me. They told him that the assistant pilot of your plane could not come to America because there are some restrictions on him. He said how can we cross the ocean without an assistant pilot. The reply was you can cross the ocean without an assistant pilot. In the end his is not obliged to come.
Another pilot complained to me as he was told his military body guard is not allowed in America because his name is confused and there are objections and you can't bring him here.
Another president also complained that his special doctor was not given a visa because there was some problem and he is banned from America.
You see there are very tough measures here. And if there is a state with a problem with America then they will restrict its delegate and its delegation. Those delegates are told to limit their movements 50 steps in that direction or 500 meters in this direction. It is as if we are in Guantanamo. Is this a United Nations delegate or is he a prisoner in Guantanamo. All this is proposed for voting in the general assembly. Mr Al Treikik, the chairman, you have to conduct a vote on the transfer of the seat. If 51 percent say 'yes' then we will come the next day to vote on where to transfer the seat. This could be somewhere in the middle. We nominate Sirte or Vienna and the ballot will be held if the seat is to be in Sirte or Vienna. If you go to Sirte you can go 1,000kms in any direction and nobody stops you. You come with a plane full of passengers and you may even come without a visa as long as you are with the president you are allowed. The country is
safe and you can go in every direction. Libya has no animosity with anyone and it is not targeted. It is the same in Vienna. I don't think there are restrictions like this.
If voting results in transferring the seat to the eastern hemisphere the next vote be on whether it goes to New Delhi or to Beijing.
This is the logical thing and no one can object to it.
Then we say God bless him, he who brought this proposal and God bless those who voted for it. Now we have got rid of the burden of 14 hours 20 minutes in the air in order to come to this place. No one could say that America would reduce its contribution. Why do we think badly of America. We shouldn't. America is committed to its obligations towards this international organisation. It will not be cross and it will not be angry. On the contrary it will thank you for alleviating the burden.
This is fine because it found someone to reduce the burden. It will be happy and will get rid of the restrictions on delegations and the restrictions on the seat. Further more the seat is targeted.
Then we will come to the issues to be investigated by the General Assembly under the chairman ship of Ali Al Treki. We hold ourselves accountable. We will hold the United Nations accountable. Either it is over and we begin a new United Nations from the security council to the general assembly. This meeting is extraordinary. Even 'my son' Obama said this before me. He said this meeting is extraordinary. It is historic.
Firstly the wars that occurred after the establishment of the United Nations. Why was that? Where was the security council? Where was the general assembly. Where was the charter and why did it take place. These should be investigated and rulings have to be issued with all the cleansing that took place. We will begin with the Korean war. Why did it happen? It claimed millions of victims. It was close of using an atomic bomb. The Korean War is still there. It is like a time bomb and a new Korean war could take place and nuclear weapons could be used. This is a serious issue. We have to try those who caused the war with all its losses and who is to pay the cost?Who is to be prosecuted. Then we come to the Suez canal war in 1956. It has to be investigated. The file has to opened and shut.
Why do we have states with a permanent seat in the Security Council with a veto and these states attack other states that are member states in the United Nations. Egypt is a sovereign country, its city, its army and its canal were destroyed. Thousands of Egyptians were killed just because it exercised its right to nationalise the Egyptian-Suez canal. Why did this take place when the United Nations was there and the charter was there. How can we be sure this will not be repeated again. The only way is to hold accountable those who caused these past wars.
This is a serious issue. We have to re-open the files of the Korean war and the Suez war in order to close these files.
We then come to the Vietnam war. It claimed three million victims. The bombs dropped in 12 days in the Vietnam war were more than those used in four years during WW2. How can we keep silent about this? This was was a lot more catastrophic than WW2 and why did it take place even after we established the United Nations and said no more wars. The wars took place but we can't keep silent. We are worried about the future of humanity. We want to end this worry. We have our sons and grandsons. We are discussing here in this world parliament. This is the destiny of the world.
Then we come to the issue of Panama which his an independent state and a member in the United Nations. This country has been invaded and 4,000 people from Panama were killed. Its president was arrested and transported as a prisoner of war. He was prosecuted as a criminal and placed in prison in another country.
This case has to be submitted to the general assembly. Noriega has to be released. This file has to be opened. How could a senior member in the United Nations attack another smaller country in the United Nations. How could it arrest its president, kill 4,000 citizens and take the president as a criminal and jail him. No one accepts this. This might happen again. We should not keep silent. We have to investigate it as this could happen to anyone. Anyone might be liable to his. Any country could be liable to this, particularly when the aggression is made by a state that has a permanent seat in the Security Council and is supposed to guarantee security.
Then we come to the war of Grenada. This island which is a member state of the United Nations was invaded with 7,000 soldiers and by 5,000 war ships and scores of fighter planes even though it is one of the smaller countries.
And this took place also after the establishment of the United Nations and the establishment of the Security Council. This state called Grenada was invaded and its president Morris Bishop was killed. How can we keep silent about this. Why do we ignore this tragedy. To issue a verdict on the United Nations whether it exists or not and whether the Security Council is useful or not and whether we are going the right way or the wrong way. Are we assured or not about our future? There have to be investigations. Then we will have investigations about the bombing of Somalia. Somalia is a member state of this assembly and of the United Nations and it was independent but it was bombed at the time of Farah Idid. Finally we have to investigate the results of the bombing. Why did it take place and why was it allowed?
The Yugoslavia war is known. A peaceful country like Yugoslavia which built itself brick by brick after it had been destroyed by Hitler has been destroyed once again by the second Hitler. This is illegal. Federal Yugoslavia was a peaceful country. It was built by Tito the champion of peace brick after brick and then after the death of Tito it was fragmented into pieces for personal, imperialist interests. We others how can we feel peaceful if the peaceful country of Yugoslavia which did not pose any threat to anyone was invaded. The general assembly has to investigate this. It has to see who to prosecute in the ICJ.
Then the Iraqi war, the mother of all evils. This has to be investigated by the United Nations. The General Assembly chaired by Ali Al Treiki has to investigate the Iraq war.
The Iraq war has four highly serious issues.
Firstly the invasion of Iraq itself is a violation of the charter. It is unjustified. Iraq is an independent state and member of the general assembly. Why should it be invaded? Where was the charter?
From the beginning I told you the United Nations has to deter any aggression. When Iraq invaded Kuwait they immediately came to the charter and said the United Nations has to deter aggression and we all agreed. Iraq's Arab sisterly states took part in the war beside foreign countries to deter Iraq's aggression on Kuwait. We were all against this invasion. But the Arab countries fought Iraq with foreign countries under the charter.
But when aggression took place against Iraq where was the charter? Why didn't we use it.
In the beginning the charter was sacred but then the charter was put into the dust bin and was ignored because they wanted to attack Iraq. Why didn't the United Nations deter the aggression against Iraq?
Ali Al Treiki has to launch the investigations by the general assembly. You have to reveal to the world why Iraq was invaded.
Everything is obscure and we might face such a fate. We have to investigate why Iraq was invaded.
Secondly after the invasion of Iraq there is mass cleansing. We have to investigate mass cleansing in Iraq. More than a million and a half Iraqis were killed. You have to show us the International Criminal Court where we are to prosecute those who committed mass cleansing against the Iraqi people.
It is easy to say Omar Al Bashir has to go to the court. It was easy for Slobodan to go to the court. It was easy for Charles Taylor to go to the court and it was easy for Hussein Habri and Noreiga. But those who committed mass cleansing in Iraq. Shouldn't they to to the International Court of Justice.
If this court was only to target us then we reject it and we don't acknowledge it. Either it treats everybody equally or otherwise we don't acknowledge it. Everyone large or small, has to be prosecuted in the International Court of Justice if he committed a crime.
We are not animals on a farm or on a ranch to be slaughtered when they like. We are nations that have the right to live in dignity to live freely and we are ready to fight and face death but we could not accept this situation and you may try us/
The third issue is the death sentence. How prisoners of war are being executed. The Iraqi president and his government, when they were captured, the states occupying Iraq declared they are prisoners of war and they would be prosecuted on such a basis. Then who executed the president? We know those who tried him, the judge in known but who executed him? He was put to death on the day of Eid Al Adha by masked men, Is this right? If this world is civilised and if they are prisoners of war in a civilised state and under international law why were they executed by a gang with masks. Who are those who carried out the death sentence? Do they have a legal authority? Do they have a legal mandate to execute a prisoner of war?
Do you know what the people say? Some people say it is the American president and the British president who were the masked gang which carried out the death sentence on the Iraqi president and his government. This accusation will stay until it is rebuffed. Why did they mask their faces. Why didn't they show their ranks? Why did they conceal their identity? Were they ranking officers, soldiers, a judge or doctor? How can we execute a head of state which is a member state of the United Nations in this ambiguous manner. So far we don't know who carried out the death sentence on the day of Eid. Those countries which occupied Iraq and arrested the Iraqi president and his government and tried them and executed them are those responsible. However the execution remains ambiguous and the United Nations has to answer for it.
Whenever there is a death sentence those who carry out the death sentence have to have a legal entity, legal powers and responsibility. Their ranks must be known and a doctor has to be present. There are a number of conditions, just to execute one ordinary person yet alone the president of a country which is a member state. This is the Iraq war.
The fourth issue in Iraq's war is the prison of Abu Gharib which is quite shameful. I know that America could investigate this scandal. However the United Nations should not abandon this case.
The General Assembly of the United Nations has to investigate the case of Abu Gharib prison where the prisoners of war were very badly treated and they were ripped by dogs and men were raped. This is unprecedented. No one ever did that before – even the devil would not behave like that. Prisoners of war were raped in the prison of Abu Gharib in a country that is a member state of the United Nations. And the instigator is a country with a permanent seat in the Security Council. What is this Security Council? This is a humanitarian issue and no one can keep silent about it. It has to be investigated. There has to be solution and the world has to know.
Up to now my brothers, there are a quarter of a million Iraqi prisoners of war in the prison of Abu Gharib and you have seen how they were treated. We will not forget this and we will not abandon this issue. It has to be investigated.
Then the war in Afghanistan. It has to be investigated. Why are we antagonising the taleban? Why are we antagonising Afghanistan. Who are the taleban? If the taleban want to establish a religious state in Afghanistan let them do so. We have nothing to do with it. It is like the Vatican. Does the Vatican pose any threat to us? No it is a very peaceful, religious state.
If the Afghans want to establish an Islamic emirate let it be like the Vatican. Who said the taleban are the enemy and has to be struck by the armies? Is bin Laden an Afghan. Is he a taleban. Bin Laden is not from the taleban and is not from Afghanistan. The terrorists who struck New York? Are they Afghans? Are they from the taleban? No they are not Afghani and they are not from the taleban. So why was Iraq and Afghanistan targeted?
If I want to deceive my American and English friends I would not tell them this. But I would encourage them and tell them go on, send more troops to Afghanistan and send further troops until they drown in a blood bath because they will achieve no result in Afghanistan or in Iraq.
You have seen what happened in Iraq. That took place even though Iraq is a wide open desert. Then what do you think of Afghanistan with these mighty mountains. No one could defeat it till the hereafter. They are just hitting the rock. They will scratch it but they will not demolish it. Continue the war in Afghanistan in Iraq. But I want to save them. I want to say these hapless nations. America and the other countries that fight in Afghanistan and Iraq. We are saying you have to leave Afghanistan for the Afghanis. You have leave Iraq for the Iraqis. Leave them even if they fight each other. They are free to do so. The civil war took place even in the USA. Nobody interfered. The civil war also took place in Spain and in China and in many parts of the world and nobody interfered. If it is a civil war let it go on. Leave it for the Iraqis and for the Afghans to fight each other – they are free.
Who says that if the taleban rule Afghanistan they will become a threat? Do the taleban have any intercontinental missiles? The airliner that hit New York. Did it come from Afghanistan or Iraq. These airliners took off from Kennedy airport in New York. So why do we go and strike Afghanistan. They are not Afghans, not taleban, nor Iraqis. Why should we keep silent about these things. Those who keep silent regarding what is right is like a silent devil. We won't be silent devils. It is our right because we are keen on world peace. We are keen on the destiny of the world. We do not want to undermine humanity in this manner.
Then after that Mr Ali Tereki, the general assembly has to launch investigations of the assassinations. You have to launch an investigation once again on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. We want this recorded in our African history. How an African leader, an African liberator was assassinated. We want to establish who killed him and to record that for history so that our sons will learn history and they will known why Patrice Lumumba the hero of African-Congolese liberation was killed. Even after 50 years. And that act has to be denounced and those responsible have to be held accountable. This file has to be opened and we have to go back to the old documents.
Then we would like to know who killed the UN Secretary General Hamashold. Who bombed his aircraft in 1961, the same year in which Lumumba was killed. We want to know who bombed the plane of the UN Secretary General. We want to know who bombed it and who had an interest in that.
Then we come to Kennedy's assassination in 1963. The UN General Assembly has to open the file of Kennedy's assassination. We want to know why he was killed. He was killed by someone called Lee Harvey and someone called Jack Rubbi killed Lee Harvey, the assasin of Kennedy.
We want to know why this Jack Rubbi, the Israeli, killed the assassin of Kennedy. And Jack Rubbi himself, the killer of Kennedy's killer also died in vague circumstances before his trial. We have to return to these files and we have to know.
What I know and what the world knows and what we studied in history is that Kennedy decided to inspect the Israeli Dimona reactor to see whether it has nuclear bombs. That is the reason he was got rid of. As long as the case in international in this manner and it concerns world peace and weapons of mass destruction we have to open investigations into the reason why Kennedy was killed.
You should also open the file of Martin Luther King. This vicar who was a black activist and human rights campaigner and his assassination was a conspiracy. This file has to opened to establish who killed him and prosecute him.
And further more who killed Khalil Al Wazir the Palestinian Abu Jihad. He was attacked in a sovereign country, a member of this assembly. That is Tunisia where he stayed in its captial. But there was an attack by four warships, two submarines and two helicopters. The independence of that state was not respected as is clear from the assassination of Khalil Al Wazir.
How could we keep silent about such matters. If we keep silent there could be submarines coming to our countries and we could see warships coming to our coasts and pick up anyone they like without being held accountable.
Then we have the death of Abu Ayad. He was killed in very ambiguous circumstances. Then we have operations such as Al Fardan Operation and the Youth Spring Operation where Kamal Nasser was killed and where Kamal Udwan and Abu Yousif Al Najar were killed. These three Palestinians were killed in Lebanon which is a sovereign state and member of the UN General Assembly. We have to establish who killed them. We have to prosecute them so that such havoc is not repeated.
You would like to know as well why Maurice Bishop the head of Grenada was killed. We have tackled how Grenada was attacked, with how many war ships and troops. We said they launched an attack on Grenada with 7,000 soldiers, 15 war ships and scores of fighter planes. The president of this member state of the general assembly Maurice Bishop was killed. We can't keep silent about these crimes. Otherwise we will all become victims and sacrifices and every year it would be the turn of someone. We are not animals and we are not sacrifices. We are defending our existence, we are defending ourselves our sons and our grandsons. We are not afraid. We have the right to live. This globe is not only for the super powers. God created it for all of us. We should never live in humiliation.
Then we have to open investigations into the evil massacres of Sabra and Shhatila which claimed 3,000 human victims. This village was under the protection of the occupying Israeli army. Then a massacre was carried out of Palestinian men, women and children. Most of them were Palestinians. How could we keep silent.
Lebanon is an independent state and a member of this assembly. The area of Sabra and Shatila was occupied and 3,000 were slaughtered. Then there is the massacre of Gaza in 2008. And for your information there were a thousand woman killed an injured. And 2,200 children. It means that there were 3,200 women and children only. Fifty educational centres belonging to the UN were demolished. Thirty non-governmental organisations were demolished including international relief organisations. Sixty clinics were demolished.. Forty doctors and nurses were killed while they were doing their humanitarian work. That was the outcome the Gaza massacre in December 2008.
The culprits are still living. They have to be prosecuted in the international criminal court. But if the International Criminal Court is only targeting the smaller states and Third World countries this is not right. Those culprits have to be tried in the court unless it was not international. Then we would not recognise it. If it is international everybody is subjected to it.
As long as the International Court of Justice is not respected and its rulings not implemented and as long as the International Atomic Energy Agency does not include all countries and the general assembly is doing nothing and the Security Council is monopolised then the United Nations is nothing. There is no United Nations.
Then we come to piracy. This phenomenon may spread to all the seas. It could become a threat like terrorism. Let us tackle Somali piracy. I am telling you the Somalis are not pirates. The pirates are ourselves because we exploited all the fishing grounds. We undermined their livelihood. We undermined their economies and their regional waters.
All the ships of the world, whether from Libya, India, Japan or America exploited Somali waters and we are the aggressors. After the Somali state collapsed we came to pick up the remnants. The Somalis had to defend their marine wealth which is their food and the food of their children. Then they transformed themselves into pirates to defend themselves. They are not pirates. They only defend their livelihood. And now you are handling it in the wrong way. You are saying let us send warships to strike the Somalis. No. warships should go to strike the pirates who undermined the Somali wealth and resources. You have to strike the foreign fishing boats.
Anyhow I held a meeting with the pirates. I told them I would make an agreement between them and the world. The world has to respect the Somali economy area up to 200 nautical miles according to the law of the seas. All the marine wealth in that area belongs to the Somalis. The world has to respect this economic area. This is first.
Then second, all the countries should abstain from dumping hazardous waste in the Somali economic area of the Somali coast and in return the Somalis will abstain from attacking ships. We will draft this agreement and we will present it to the UN General Assembly. That is the solution. The solution is not more strikes against the Somalis.
What is worse is that their warships are preventing the Somalis from going into the sea for fishing. This is the wrong handling, this is the wrong approach. Our way of tackling terrorism is wrong.
Our handling of matters is actually wrong. If the vaccination for swine flu is produced and there could be more flus of God or flus of fish then the factories that belong to the intelligence operate and they sell at a high price. This is trade. They produce a virus and they spread it across the world so that capitalist companies gain money from selling vaccines. This is shameful. The vaccines are not to be sold. Medicines are not to be sold. You have to read the Green Book. It does not allow the selling of medicines. If we say the medicines are free and the vaccines are free and no viruses are spread because it is they who produce these viruses in order to produce vaccines. That is how capitalist companies work. This is the wrong approach. You have to declare that medicines are free and not for sale.
Even if the viruses are real we should not sell the vaccines. They have to be offered for free.
All these matters are submitted in files to be discussed by the UN General Assembly. It has nothing to do but this work.
Then we have the Ottowa agreement which bans the production, the shipment or sale of mines etc
This is wrong. The mines are not offensive weapons. They are defensive. The mines do not move. They do not attack. It remains wherever it is planted. That means you went to it. Why did you go to it? I would like to plant mines on the borders of my country because you are aggressing my country. Let your hand or leg be amputated. I urge you to review this Ottowa agreement. This appeal could be seen in the internet, in the website Al Qadhafi talks. This agreement has to be revoked or amended.
They want to deprive us even from the mines which are anti personnel. If I want to plant a mine in front of my home or farm then this is my way of defense. It is not offensive. You may cancel the atomic weapons the missiles and inter-continental missiles.
As for the Palestinian cause the two-state solution is impossible. I urge you not to speak about it. The only solution is one democratic state for Jews and for Muslims for Palestinians and Christians and all others – like Lebanon. The two state-solution is not practical and impossible. There can be no two neighbouring states which are to much overlapping. Any division will inevitably fail.
Firstly the two states are not neighbours but are overlapping from all aspects, population, geography and so forth. There are no states. You can't establish a dividing no man's land between them because it doesn't exist.
The West Bank has half a million Israeli settlers. The so-called Israel has a million Palestinian settlers. How can we establish two states. The world has to go to impose one democratic state without any religious, nationalist or linguistic bigotry. Bigotry is reactionary and it is time is well over. These are thoughts of the guard. The ideas of the Third World War. The ideas of men like Yasser Arafat and Sharon. All these are over. The new generation wants one democratic state. We have to exert every effort to impose on them one state where all people co-exist.
Look at the Palestinian youth. Look at Israeli youth. They want peace. They want to live in one state. This is the way to end this headache which undermines and poisons the whole world. The White Book has the solution for Israel. You have to consider it, Ali Al Treiki.
The Arabs have no animosity with the Israelis. They are cousins and they live with them in peace. The Palestinian refugees must return and they have to live peacefully in one state. It is you who make the holocaust for them. You burned them down in the chambers of gas in Europe. It is you who hate the Jews but we don't.
We have accommodated them, we protected them since Roman days and since they were expelled from Andulsia. We also protected them in the days of Hitler and from the gas chambers of Hitler. It is ourselves who protected them and it is you who expelled them. You expelled them and told them go and fight the Arabs.
Let us expose this reality. We are not enemies of the Jews. They are our cousins. The Jews will need the Arabs one day but the Arabs will not protect them as they did in the past. Let us have a look at what Tito did. What Hadrin did. What Edward 1 did and what Hitler did to the Jews. You hate them and you are anti-Semitic.
As for the issue of Kashmir in short in has no solution unless it becomes one independent state to buffer between India and Pakistan. It will become neither Indian nor Pakistani and the conflict will be over. As for Darfur I hope that the aid you sent to international aid organisations are transferred to other projects, development, industrial and agricultural. Darfur is now living in peace and there is no war. It is you who blew it up soas to interfere and establish a foothold for the sake of oil and you sacrificed the people of Darfur.
Why do I tackle all these issues? It is because we have to investigate these issues. Previously you have submitted the case of Al Hariri, God have mercy on him, to the United Nations. Why did you do so? Is it because you wanted to sacrifice the blood of Al Hariri and you sold the body of Al Hariri in order to settle scores with Syria. If it not so why did Lebanon, which is an independent state with a judiciary laws and police and everything and could determine who the culprits are. But in this matter it is not the culprits who are wanted. What is wanted is the settlement of scores with Syria and sacrificing the issue of Al Hariri and we will get nowhere in the issue of Al Hariri.
Therefore all the cases of Abu, Khalil Al Wazir, Kennedy, Lumumba, Hammershold should be transferred to the United Nations as the others were.
At any rate the UN General Assembly is chaired by Libya and this is its right. The work that could be done by Libya is to help the world in moving from one phase to another, from this world which is lost, bitter, shameful, terrorised and threatened to move to a more human world where there is peace and tolerance.
I will follow up this work with the General Assembly and with Ali Al Teriki and with the UN Secretary General because we will not be complacent and we will not be submissive regarding the fate of humanity.
Humanity has to struggle in order to live in peace. The struggle by the Third World and the smaller states, 100 of them in order to live in dignity and in freedom is a continued struggle and it has to continue till the end. Peace and blessings.

RAJAWALI AFRIKA: GARANG DI GENERAL ASSEMBLY PBB KE-64
RAJAWALI AFRIKA: GARANG DI GENERAL ASSEMBLY PBB NEW YORK
PIDATO 100 MENIT MENGETENGAHKAN SOLUSI 100 TAHUN
Rajawali Afrika, Pemimpin Libya, Ketua Uni Afrika dan King of African Kings, Kol. Muammar Gaddafi dengan lantang menuntut perlunya reformasi PBB dalam sidang General Assembly (Majlis Umum) PBB ke-64 pada tgl. 23 September 2009. Sidang yang dipimpin oleh politikus senior Libya yang merupakan Wakil Menlu Libya Urusan Uni Afrika, Dr. Ali Abd. Salam Treki, selama 1 jam 35 menit (pukul 17.00 – 18.35 Waktu Libya, pukul 22.00 – 23.35 WIB) Kol. Gaddafi menyampaikan pidatonya tanpa teks atau teks hanya sebagai panduan, sebagaimana kebiasaan beliau dalam menyampaikan pidato, Rajawali Afrika tersebut menjadi bintang karena berani menyuarakan ‘kebenaran’ di forum dunia yang selama ini angker bagi pemimpin dunia ketiga. Barangkali hanya mantan Presiden RI saja, Bung Karno yang berani dan lantang menentang hegemoni Barat di forum PBB sewaktu Indonesia keluar dari badan dunia tersebut. Atau keberanian Kol. Gaddafi tersebut karena terinspirasi dan banyak belarar dari para tokoh pendahulunya seperti mendiang Presiden Soekarno, Gamal Abdul Nasser, Joseph Tito dan lain sebagainya. Berikut ini beberapa poin penting isi pidato Kol. Gaddafi dalam sidang Majlis Umum PBB tersebut:
1. Hak veto bertentangan dengan Deklarasi (mitsaaq) PBB.
2. PBB sejak berdiri tidak dapat mencegah terjadinya perang.
3. 65 kali terjadi peperangan sejak PBB didirikan yang kesemuanya untuk kepentingan negara tertentu atau beberapa negara tertentu, dan semua perang dilalukan terhadap dunia ketiga dan negara kecil dan lemah (namun semuanya berdaulat dan anggota PBB).
4. Gaddafi menentang pemberian tambahan negara baru jatah kursi tetap di Dewan Keamanan PBB.
5. Meminta hak otoritatif dari DK PBB (selama ini) dan menjadikan hak tersebut kepada Majlis Umum PBB sebagai representasi Parlemen Dunia. Sselama ini terjadi kesalahan karena yang mempunyai kekuasaan adalah DK PBB yang anggotanya hanya 10 orang (sambil menunjuk kursi mereka dan berseloroh), sedangkan MU PBB hanya ‘pajangan’ saja.
6. Majlis Umum PBB merupakan representasi Parlemen Dunia.
7. Majlis Umum PBB selama ini hanya mimbar pidato-pidato saja tanpa arti. Gaddafi mengumpakannya sebagai hidepark atau pajangan.
8. Kursi anggota tetap DK PBB diberikan kepada organisasi regional seperti Uni Afrika, ASEAN, Amerika Latin, Uni Eropa, GNB, dsb.
9. DK PBB sebagai corong kapitalisme negara-negara anggota tetap dan yang mempunyai hak veto.
10. Selama ini DK PBB hanya membuat hukuman bagi kita. Bukan menjamin keamanan kita.
11. DK PBB hanya digunakan untuk melawan kita.
12. Kita tidak ada kelaziman untuk mematuhi Tap DK PBB sekarang ini.
13. Menutut ganti rugi negara penjajah kepada negara jajahannya agar tidak terulang lagi penjajahan, baik langsung maupun tidak langsung. Uni Afrika menuntut ganti rugi sebesar USD 777 trilyun.
14. Afrika mempunyai hak kursi keanggotaan tetap di DK PBB.
15. Merasa nyaman dengan adanya putra Afrika Presiden Barack Husein Obama Jr. dalam posisi pucuk pimpinan AS yang dipanggilnya dengan ‘ibnii’ (my son).
16. Head Quarter PBB digilir setiap lima puluh tahun ke lima benua lainnya. Saat ini sudah lewat 14 tahun masih tetap berada di AS (64 tahun sejak didirikan).
17. Menolak dunia yang beragam kepentingan dan menuntut dunia yang adil.
18. Membuka investigasi kejahatan perang seperti perang Korea, Terusan Suez Mesir, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, Somalia, Yogoslavia dan Irak. Mengenai Irak, Gaddafi menekankan investigasi sebab-sebab memerangi Irak, yaitu masalah perang itu sendiri; melawan Deklarasi PBB; cleansing etnis (Ibadah jamaiyah) dan pembunuhan (hukuman mati). Lebih spesifik Gaddafi menuntut PBB menginvestigasi perang Irak yang dipimpin AS.
19. Membuka investigasi penjara Abou Guraib, dimana sebanyak 250 ribu warga sipil Irak, laki-laki dan perempuan disiksa; juga perang terhadap Afganistan.
20. Membuka investigasi pembunuhan tokoh dunia, seperti Patrice Lumumba, John. F. Kennedy, Dag Hammarskjold, mantan sekjen PBB, Martin Luther King, Khalil al-Wazir (Abu Jihad) pejuang Palestina yang diserang oleh pesawat tempur Israel di negara berdaulat Tunisia yang juga anggota PBB, dan pembunuhan para pejuang Palestina di Lebanon yang juga negara berdaulat dan anggota PBB.
21. Membuka investigasi pembunuhan kolektif seperti Subra-Syatila dimana pengungsi Palestina di daerah tersebut dibantai oleh pasukan Israel dan 3000 warga pengungsi sipil terbantai, dan juga pembantaian Israel terhadap Jalur Gaza pada bulan Desember 2008 dan Januari 2009.
22. Mengenai perompak Somalia, Gaddafi mengatakan bahwa sebenarnya kita ini yang perompak, bukan mereka. Karena mata pencaharian mereka kita tutup sehingga mereka merompak kapal-kapal yang melintasi kawasan laut mereka. Juga masalah Darfur, Sudan yang kaya minyak.
23. Menuntut untuk menyerahkan para penjahat perang terhadap penduduk sipil Palestina kepada Mahkamah Kriminal Internasional.
24. Menyatakan bahwa penyelesaian masalah Palestina hanya dengan penyelesaian satu negara demokrasi dan berdaulat (bangsa Israel dan Palestina. (Bukan dua negara yang selama ini diupayakan, tapi tidak selesai-selesai selama 60 tahun).
25. Bansga Arab menyediakan perlindungan bagi bangsa yahudi di saat mereka mengalami penderitaan dan penindasan oleh bangsa Eropa. Bangsa Arab dan Yahudi sebagai saudara tua dan sepupu tidak mungkin berperang kalau bukan karena infiltrasi Barat. Mengapa Barat yang melakukan holocaust terhadap bangsa yahudi dan yang menjadi bebannya adalah bangsa palestina. Pada suatu saat nanti bangsa Yahudi akan berpihak kepada bangsa Arab karena mereka sesungguhnya bersaudara.
Leader of the Revolution Addresses UN General Assembly
New York-23.9.2009
The Leader of the Revolution today addressed the 64th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, tackling numerous issues of our contemporary world and calling for a proper reform of the UN to cope with the challenges of today's world, suggesting that representation at the security council be divided on blocks and continental basis.
Explaining how the United Nations initially came into being, the Leader said United Nations not the United Nations Organisations was set up by three or four countries that united against Germany which then established the security council and assumed the veto.
Leader of the Revolution Addresses UN General Assembly
New York-23.9.2009
The Leader said China was the only country that had democratically acquired the Veto.
He said increasing the number of seats at the Security Council was not the answer to the council's reform..rather it would add insult to injury.
Reforming the Security Council is by diverting the Security Council authorities to the General Assembly, but not by increasing the number of seats, the Leader said.
"It is unfair and appalling that only the powerful possess the Veto".
"For 45 years the Council only brought upon us sanctions and horror..we are no longer bind by this council in its form from this session the 64 session".
The Leader proposed radical changes that could rock the foundations of the United Nations Organisation and lay the basis for a new structure on its ruins, based on equality between all nations big and small without vetos.
The Leader who was given a standing ovation said Libya who deservedly assumed the presidency of the General Assembly would act to help the world change the scary pathetic situation in which the world currently passes into a world peace and tolerance.
Addressing UN General Assembly Leader of the Revolution Chairman of the AU Offers Radical Solutions That Could Rock UN Foundations
New York : 23. 9. 2009
leader of the Revolution , Chairman of African Union , King of African Traditional Kings offered in his speech today before the 64th session of the United Nations' General Assembly radical solutions that could rock the tumbling structure of the UN Organization and building instead a new international structure based on equality between nations big and small and free from veto and permanent and temporary seats and to restore proper respect of the UN General Assembly which is the Congress of the world .
Following is the text of the leader's address :
In the name of Allah.
Gentlemen members of the UN General Assembly :
I salute you on behalf of the African Union and I pray that this session be historic in the life of the world .
ِAnd in the name of UN General Assembly that Libya presides over and in the name of the African Union and the name of ( 1000 ) African traditional kingdoms .. I extend our congratulations to our Son President '' Obama '' because he attends with us the GA meeting for the first time as President of the United States of America . We salute him since he is the host country .
This convention comes at the climax of a several challenges that face us all and that the world should unite and make serious efforts to overcome these challenges that constitute the common enemy.
Climate change, financial crisis , collapse of capitalist economy , food and water crisis , desertification , terrorism, immigration , spread of diseases created by man himself and others because some of the viruses are manufactures as weapons and became beyond control .
Perhaps Swine Flu is one of these viruses that were not controlled and it is produced in laboratories as war weapon.
Also the horrible nuclear spread , in addition to other terrorism , the spread of hypocrisy , fear and atheism moral deterioration and material dominance .
All this constitutes a common enemy to all of us .
Gentlemen :
You know that the united Nations started first with three or four nations united against Germany .., This is the United Nations and not the UN Organization .
The UN Organization of today is something else. but the United Nations is the countries that united against Germany in the Second World War and these countries formed a Council called it Security Council and they gave themselves permanent seats and the veto .
We were not present, it was tailored by the United Nations and we were asked to wear this dress which was tailored by these three or four nations that united against Germany .
This is the truth and this is the base of this international organization.
The happened in the absence of ( 165 ) present today , that means ( 1 to 8 ) or 1 present and 8 absent.
They are the ones who made the UN Charter which is with me . Its preamble is something and its articles are another thing .
How did that happen ?
Those who were present in San Francisco in 45 participated in making the preamble and they left other articles including rules of the so called Security Council to experts, technicians and politicians of the countries interested in this subject , it is the countries that created the Security Council , the nations that united against Germany .
The preamble is very tempting and there is no objection on it , but everything that came afterwards contradicts with the preamble. and this what we are facing now , we protest against it and reject it and that cannot continue because it is outdated and belongs to the period during the World War II .
The preamble says that nations big and small are equal .
Are we equal regarding the permanent seats ? Not at all .
The preamble says that United Nations big and small are equal in rights .
Alright .. Are we equal regarding the veto right ?!
According to the preamble , all nations , big and small are equal in rights . This is what we approved .
Therefore, the veto is against the Charter and so are the permanent seats. This we cannot recognize or accept.
The Charter states in its preamble '' We are committed not to use armed force in other than the common interest ''. This we rejoiced and signed and joined the United Nations in accordance with that .
But , ( 65 ) wars took place after the establishment of the United Nations and the Security Council in its current form and after this commitment millions were victims more than the World War .
Are all these aggressions and wars were used for common interest ?! not at all . That was in the interest of one particular nations or maybe two or three .
This is in clear and open contradiction with the Charter's preamble that we accepted and the joined the organization accordingly .
If the matter does not comply with the preamble that we approved , then even our presence in this organization is no longer valid as of now .
We do not flatter nor make diplomatic statements ..we are not scared nor can we compromise when it comes to the destiny of the world.
We now talk about the destiny of the world ..the destiny of the planet and the human race ..when it comes to these crucial issues there can be no flattering, procrastination or hypocrisy because that led to 65 wars after establishment of the United Nations.
The preamble says if force is used there should be a United Nation force.. a common force ..a UN war staff not just one country or two or three..the United Nations together should decide whether to use force to keep world peace.
If aggression occurred against one country after 1945 when the organisation was set up, the UN will come to its defence and repel the aggression.
If Libya aggressed on France for example, the UN will repel the aggression because France is a sovereign country.
We are committed to defend the sovereignty of nations in a collective fashion, but that did not prevent the outbreak of 65 wars of aggression with the UN doing nothing to curb them, including eight major wars that claimed the lives of millions of people, perpetrated by a veto holding member of the Security Council.
The states that we thought would repel aggression protect peoples turned out to the ones that used aggressive force while enjoying the veto.
There is nothing in this Charter that allow the United Nations to interfere in internal sovereignty of another country .
In other words , ruling system is internal affair , no one else has the right to interfere in it and it is the responsibility of the concerned society to have dictatorial, democratic, socialist , capitalist , reactionary or progressive system . It is an internal affair .
Once Rome has voted for Julius Caesar to be a dictator and the Senate gave him the authority to be dictator because they thought that dictatorship was useful to Rome then . This is an internal affair . Who can say to Rome , why did you that ?That is making of Caesar a dictator ruler !
The preamble is what we have agreed upon , but the veto that came afterwards is not mentioned in the Charter .
If they told us there is a veto right , we would not have joined the UN , we joined the UN because we are equal in rights .
But when one country has the veto over all our resolutions and enjoys a permanent seat , Who gave her that permanent seat ?!
These four nations gave themselves the permanent seat .
The only nation that we voted for in this assembly to have a permanent seat is China . We gave our votes to China to become a permanent member of the Security Council . It is the only country that her presence is democratic , but the presence of the other four seats is undemocratic , rather it is dictatorial and imposed on us , so we do not recognize that and it does not apply to us .
Reforming the United Nations is not by increasing the number of seats at the Security Council ..because that would just add insult to injury..since there will be countries who would be joined to the others and would further tip the balance.
Therefore we object to increasing the number of seats ..the solution is not increasing the seats ..this will run against the interests of the third world countries the "Forum of Small States" or "G 100"..these will be trampled on by fresh major powers joining the old list..this is unacceptable.
Moreover, opening the door to increase seats in the Security Council will create more injustice and high tension worldwide . It will intensify competition for seats in the SC and we are going to enter in a competition with very very important group of nations .
There is going to be a contest between Italy , Germany , Indonesia , India , Pakistan , the Philippines , Japan , Brazil, Argentine , Nigeria , Algeria , Libya , Egypt , Congo , South Africa , Tanzania, Turkey , Iran , Greece, the Ukraine .
All these countries will demand to have seat in the Security Council . In this case competition is to continue till members of the Security Council will be equal to those in this Assembly which is impractical.
So , what is the solution ?
Now , the solution put forth before the GA presided over by '' Ali Triki '' and where a decision is to be taken by voting , and the abiding resolution is that of the majority of the GA without regard to any other side . The solution is to close the door for membership and for increasing the number of seats in the Security Council - This is to be introduced to the General Assembly , the Secretary General and Triki - and that will be replaced by Unions' membership to achieve democracy through equality between member states and to transfer the powers of the Security Council to the General Assembly .

PIDATO 100 MENIT MENGETENGAHKAN SOLUSI 100 TAHUN
Rajawali Afrika, Pemimpin Libya, Ketua Uni Afrika dan King of African Kings, Kol. Muammar Gaddafi dengan lantang menuntut perlunya reformasi PBB dalam sidang General Assembly (Majlis Umum) PBB ke-64 pada tgl. 23 September 2009. Sidang yang dipimpin oleh politikus senior Libya yang merupakan Wakil Menlu Libya Urusan Uni Afrika, Dr. Ali Abd. Salam Treki, selama 1 jam 35 menit (pukul 17.00 – 18.35 Waktu Libya, pukul 22.00 – 23.35 WIB) Kol. Gaddafi menyampaikan pidatonya tanpa teks atau teks hanya sebagai panduan, sebagaimana kebiasaan beliau dalam menyampaikan pidato, Rajawali Afrika tersebut menjadi bintang karena berani menyuarakan ‘kebenaran’ di forum dunia yang selama ini angker bagi pemimpin dunia ketiga. Barangkali hanya mantan Presiden RI saja, Bung Karno yang berani dan lantang menentang hegemoni Barat di forum PBB sewaktu Indonesia keluar dari badan dunia tersebut. Atau keberanian Kol. Gaddafi tersebut karena terinspirasi dan banyak belarar dari para tokoh pendahulunya seperti mendiang Presiden Soekarno, Gamal Abdul Nasser, Joseph Tito dan lain sebagainya. Berikut ini beberapa poin penting isi pidato Kol. Gaddafi dalam sidang Majlis Umum PBB tersebut:
1. Hak veto bertentangan dengan Deklarasi (mitsaaq) PBB.
2. PBB sejak berdiri tidak dapat mencegah terjadinya perang.
3. 65 kali terjadi peperangan sejak PBB didirikan yang kesemuanya untuk kepentingan negara tertentu atau beberapa negara tertentu, dan semua perang dilalukan terhadap dunia ketiga dan negara kecil dan lemah (namun semuanya berdaulat dan anggota PBB).
4. Gaddafi menentang pemberian tambahan negara baru jatah kursi tetap di Dewan Keamanan PBB.
5. Meminta hak otoritatif dari DK PBB (selama ini) dan menjadikan hak tersebut kepada Majlis Umum PBB sebagai representasi Parlemen Dunia. Sselama ini terjadi kesalahan karena yang mempunyai kekuasaan adalah DK PBB yang anggotanya hanya 10 orang (sambil menunjuk kursi mereka dan berseloroh), sedangkan MU PBB hanya ‘pajangan’ saja.
6. Majlis Umum PBB merupakan representasi Parlemen Dunia.
7. Majlis Umum PBB selama ini hanya mimbar pidato-pidato saja tanpa arti. Gaddafi mengumpakannya sebagai hidepark atau pajangan.
8. Kursi anggota tetap DK PBB diberikan kepada organisasi regional seperti Uni Afrika, ASEAN, Amerika Latin, Uni Eropa, GNB, dsb.
9. DK PBB sebagai corong kapitalisme negara-negara anggota tetap dan yang mempunyai hak veto.
10. Selama ini DK PBB hanya membuat hukuman bagi kita. Bukan menjamin keamanan kita.
11. DK PBB hanya digunakan untuk melawan kita.
12. Kita tidak ada kelaziman untuk mematuhi Tap DK PBB sekarang ini.
13. Menutut ganti rugi negara penjajah kepada negara jajahannya agar tidak terulang lagi penjajahan, baik langsung maupun tidak langsung. Uni Afrika menuntut ganti rugi sebesar USD 777 trilyun.
14. Afrika mempunyai hak kursi keanggotaan tetap di DK PBB.
15. Merasa nyaman dengan adanya putra Afrika Presiden Barack Husein Obama Jr. dalam posisi pucuk pimpinan AS yang dipanggilnya dengan ‘ibnii’ (my son).
16. Head Quarter PBB digilir setiap lima puluh tahun ke lima benua lainnya. Saat ini sudah lewat 14 tahun masih tetap berada di AS (64 tahun sejak didirikan).
17. Menolak dunia yang beragam kepentingan dan menuntut dunia yang adil.
18. Membuka investigasi kejahatan perang seperti perang Korea, Terusan Suez Mesir, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, Somalia, Yogoslavia dan Irak. Mengenai Irak, Gaddafi menekankan investigasi sebab-sebab memerangi Irak, yaitu masalah perang itu sendiri; melawan Deklarasi PBB; cleansing etnis (Ibadah jamaiyah) dan pembunuhan (hukuman mati). Lebih spesifik Gaddafi menuntut PBB menginvestigasi perang Irak yang dipimpin AS.
19. Membuka investigasi penjara Abou Guraib, dimana sebanyak 250 ribu warga sipil Irak, laki-laki dan perempuan disiksa; juga perang terhadap Afganistan.
20. Membuka investigasi pembunuhan tokoh dunia, seperti Patrice Lumumba, John. F. Kennedy, Dag Hammarskjold, mantan sekjen PBB, Martin Luther King, Khalil al-Wazir (Abu Jihad) pejuang Palestina yang diserang oleh pesawat tempur Israel di negara berdaulat Tunisia yang juga anggota PBB, dan pembunuhan para pejuang Palestina di Lebanon yang juga negara berdaulat dan anggota PBB.
21. Membuka investigasi pembunuhan kolektif seperti Subra-Syatila dimana pengungsi Palestina di daerah tersebut dibantai oleh pasukan Israel dan 3000 warga pengungsi sipil terbantai, dan juga pembantaian Israel terhadap Jalur Gaza pada bulan Desember 2008 dan Januari 2009.
22. Mengenai perompak Somalia, Gaddafi mengatakan bahwa sebenarnya kita ini yang perompak, bukan mereka. Karena mata pencaharian mereka kita tutup sehingga mereka merompak kapal-kapal yang melintasi kawasan laut mereka. Juga masalah Darfur, Sudan yang kaya minyak.
23. Menuntut untuk menyerahkan para penjahat perang terhadap penduduk sipil Palestina kepada Mahkamah Kriminal Internasional.
24. Menyatakan bahwa penyelesaian masalah Palestina hanya dengan penyelesaian satu negara demokrasi dan berdaulat (bangsa Israel dan Palestina. (Bukan dua negara yang selama ini diupayakan, tapi tidak selesai-selesai selama 60 tahun).
25. Bansga Arab menyediakan perlindungan bagi bangsa yahudi di saat mereka mengalami penderitaan dan penindasan oleh bangsa Eropa. Bangsa Arab dan Yahudi sebagai saudara tua dan sepupu tidak mungkin berperang kalau bukan karena infiltrasi Barat. Mengapa Barat yang melakukan holocaust terhadap bangsa yahudi dan yang menjadi bebannya adalah bangsa palestina. Pada suatu saat nanti bangsa Yahudi akan berpihak kepada bangsa Arab karena mereka sesungguhnya bersaudara.
Leader of the Revolution Addresses UN General Assembly
New York-23.9.2009
The Leader of the Revolution today addressed the 64th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, tackling numerous issues of our contemporary world and calling for a proper reform of the UN to cope with the challenges of today's world, suggesting that representation at the security council be divided on blocks and continental basis.
Explaining how the United Nations initially came into being, the Leader said United Nations not the United Nations Organisations was set up by three or four countries that united against Germany which then established the security council and assumed the veto.
Leader of the Revolution Addresses UN General Assembly
New York-23.9.2009
The Leader said China was the only country that had democratically acquired the Veto.
He said increasing the number of seats at the Security Council was not the answer to the council's reform..rather it would add insult to injury.
Reforming the Security Council is by diverting the Security Council authorities to the General Assembly, but not by increasing the number of seats, the Leader said.
"It is unfair and appalling that only the powerful possess the Veto".
"For 45 years the Council only brought upon us sanctions and horror..we are no longer bind by this council in its form from this session the 64 session".
The Leader proposed radical changes that could rock the foundations of the United Nations Organisation and lay the basis for a new structure on its ruins, based on equality between all nations big and small without vetos.
The Leader who was given a standing ovation said Libya who deservedly assumed the presidency of the General Assembly would act to help the world change the scary pathetic situation in which the world currently passes into a world peace and tolerance.
Addressing UN General Assembly Leader of the Revolution Chairman of the AU Offers Radical Solutions That Could Rock UN Foundations
New York : 23. 9. 2009
leader of the Revolution , Chairman of African Union , King of African Traditional Kings offered in his speech today before the 64th session of the United Nations' General Assembly radical solutions that could rock the tumbling structure of the UN Organization and building instead a new international structure based on equality between nations big and small and free from veto and permanent and temporary seats and to restore proper respect of the UN General Assembly which is the Congress of the world .
Following is the text of the leader's address :
In the name of Allah.
Gentlemen members of the UN General Assembly :
I salute you on behalf of the African Union and I pray that this session be historic in the life of the world .
ِAnd in the name of UN General Assembly that Libya presides over and in the name of the African Union and the name of ( 1000 ) African traditional kingdoms .. I extend our congratulations to our Son President '' Obama '' because he attends with us the GA meeting for the first time as President of the United States of America . We salute him since he is the host country .
This convention comes at the climax of a several challenges that face us all and that the world should unite and make serious efforts to overcome these challenges that constitute the common enemy.
Climate change, financial crisis , collapse of capitalist economy , food and water crisis , desertification , terrorism, immigration , spread of diseases created by man himself and others because some of the viruses are manufactures as weapons and became beyond control .
Perhaps Swine Flu is one of these viruses that were not controlled and it is produced in laboratories as war weapon.
Also the horrible nuclear spread , in addition to other terrorism , the spread of hypocrisy , fear and atheism moral deterioration and material dominance .
All this constitutes a common enemy to all of us .

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar walillahilhamd...
Hadirin jamaah idul fitri KBRI Tripoli yang berbahagia..
Sejak hari kemarin, ketika cahaya mentari mulai redup menggelapkan mayapada; gegap gempita gema takbir, tahlil, dan tahmid; membahana di sebagian penjuru planet bumi. Gemuruh mengagungkan asma Allah ini, terus menerus berkumandang secara estafet, diawali dari hari kemarin di sudut bumi paling timur sampai malam nanti di kawasan dunia paling barat. Sang surya yang menjadi pusat edar dari galaksi bimasakti bersama sejumlah planet yang ditundukkan dan dipatuhkan mengelilinginya, termasuk planet bumi ini, akan menjadi saksi dari sekitar 1,5 milyar umat manusia yang sudah menyatakan ketundukan dan kepatuhannya kepada sang Pencipta, Alloh SWT. Selama lebih 24 jam tak henti-hentinya planet bumi menggemakan dan memancarkan aura dari suara takbir, tahlil, dan tahmid kaum muslimin. Bahkan sesungguhnya, bukan hanya kita sebagai manusia saja yang menggemakan keagungan dan kesucian Alloh SWT; dalam ekspresi yang berbeda, bumi dan langit serta seluruh yang ada di dalamnya; mulai dari butiran atom yang terkecil sampai gugusan galaksi yang terbesar, jutaan bintang-bintang dan milyaran planet, binatang dan seluruh speciesnya, tumbuhan dan seluruh keanekaragamannya, ratusan ribu malaikat dan milyaran makhluk jin, ribuan arwah para nabi dan rasul, para wali dan arwah nenek moyang kita yang soleh… pada saat ini, semuanya serempak menggemakan keagungan sang Khaliq. Bahkan bukan hanya hari ini, Secara sunatullah sesungguhnya jagat raya tak pernah diam, senantiasa tunduk kepada Allah, mensucikan nama-Nya, mengagungkan kebesaran-Nya, memuji karya-karya-Nya, dan mengesakan dzat-Nya
يَُسبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِيْ السَمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي ْالأَرْضِ اْلمَلِكِ ْالقُُدُّسِ الْعَزَيْزِ ْالحَكِيْمِ
"Senantiasa bertasbih mensucikan asma Allah apa yang ada di langit dan apa yang ada di bumi. Ia Raja Diraja, Yang Maha Suci, Yang Maha Digjaya, lagi Maha Bijaksana" (QS. Al-Jumu'ah:1)
Allohu akbar allohu akbar walillahilhamd.
Alloh maha agung... segala puji bagi Alloh yang maha Agung
Hadirin jamaah idul fitri yang berbahagia…
Pada pagi ini, kita semua di lapangan KBRI Tripoli ini, mendapat giliran menggemakan takbir, tahlil, dan tahmid tersebut. Walaupun kita jauh dari tanah air, keluarga, dan handai taulan.. tetapi tetap kita bersemangat untuk datang menghadap panggilan Allah SWT, menundukkan hati diharibaan-Nya, dan khusyu menggemakan pujian-pujian untuk-Nya; mengagungkan kebesaran-Nya, seraya menyadari betapa kerdilnya kita dihadapan-Nya, betapa perlunya kita pada karunia-Nya, dan betapa tidak berartinya kehidupan ini tanpa petunjuk dan bimbingan-Nya.
Hari ini kita merayakan hari yang sangat istimewa, hari raya idul fitri. Betapa tidak, hari ini Islam melegitimasi penganutnya untuk bersuka cita, memakai pakaian dan wangi-wangian yang terbaik dan menghidangkan makanan yang istimewa dan diharamkan berpuasa. Hari ini adalah hari kemenangan bagi kita sebagai kaum muslimin dalam melawan hawa nafsu di bulan Ramadan yang lalu. Dari sisi spiritualitas, hari ini adalah hari yang suci; orang-orang dewasa dilahirkan kembali oleh Ramadan menjadi sosok-sosok bayi yang suci. Suci dari kotoran-kotoran jiwa dan penyakit hati yang mungkin telah mengidap dalam diri kita selama kurun waktu 11 bulan yang lalu. Oleh karena itu, 1 bulan dalam 1 satu tahun secara totalitas kaum muslimin difasilitasi oleh Alloh swt untuk melakukan terapi dan perawatan sehingga kotoran-kotoran jiwa dan penyakit-penyakit nurani itu, dibersihkan dan disucikan. Dengan demikian orang yang telah mengikuti prosesi Ramadan diharapkan dapat keluar dalam keadaan bersih dan suci dari noda dan dosa.. Inilah fungsi Ramadan sebagai sarana untuk penebusan dosa.
Jika kita membaca referensi agama dan kepercayaan yang ada di dunia ini, kita akan menemukan bahwa setiap agama memiliki konsep dan metode tentang penebusan dosa umatnya. Ada yang menebusnya dengan cara menyerahkan sejumlah uang atau harta benda kepada pemuka agama, ada yang mengorbankan tumbal, bahkan dalam sekte-sekte agama tertentu, penebusan dosa dilakukan dengan cara melukai diri atau bahkan bunuh diri.
Islam memberikan banyak konsep penebusan dosa yang semuanya sangat praktis, humanis, dan rasional. Misalnya, dosa-dosa kecil yang kita lakukan secara langsung kepada Allah, bisa pupus hanya dengan istigfar, siraman air wudlu, atau memperbanyak sedekah. Untuk dosa yang lebih besar bisa dimaafkan dengan meminta ampun, salat taubat, seraya berjanji tak mengulangi kembali. Jika dosanya bersangkut paut dengan individu manusia, semisal menggunjing, memfitnah, menyakiti; maka harus terlebih dahulu diselesaikan antar individu tersebut dengan meminta maaf. Atau jika dosanya berkaitan dengan kemaslahatan umum maka penegakan hukum tebusannya. Jika dosa-dosa kemanusiaan ini tidak diselesaikan di dunia maka mahkamah rabbaniah di akhirat yang akan mengadilinya. Tentu saja kita tidak ingin berurusan dengan pengadilan Alloh yang tanpa pandang bulu. Apalagi kalau gara-gara dosa kemanusiaan, kita menjadi orang yang divonis bangkrut di akhirat kelak. Sebagaimana diceritakan dalam hadits: Rasulullah SAW. bertanya kepada para sahabat: Tahukah kalian siapakah orang yang bangkrut? Para sahabat menjawab: orang yang bangkrut adalah mereka yang tidak memiliki uang dan harta benda yang tersisa. Kemudian Rasulullah menyanggah: Bukan, Orang yang benar-benar bangkrut (pailit) di antara umatku ialah orang yang di hari kiamat datang membawa seabrek pahala shalat, puasa dan zakat; tapi (sementara itu) datanglah orang-orang yang menuntutnya, karena ketika (di dunia) ia mencaci ini dan menuduh itu, memakan harta si ini dan menyakiti si itu, melukai si itu dan memukul si ini. Maka diberikanlah pahala-pahala kebaikannya kepada si ini dan si itu.. Jika ternyata pahala-pahala kebaikannya habis sebelum dipenuhi apa yang menjadi tanggungannya, maka diambillah dosa-dosa si ini dan si itu (yang pernah di dzaliminya) dan ditimpakan kepadanya. Kemudian dicampakkanlah ia ke dalam api neraka.” (HR. Muslim dari Abu Hurairah).
Hadirin Jamaah idil Fitri yang berbahagia…
Ternyata mulut, tangan, kaki, dan anggota tubuh kita yang biasa kita gunakan untuk beribadah, bersujud, berdzikir, berpuasa, berzakat; dapat membuat kita pailit kelak. Tidak hanya menghabiskan modal pahala yang kita tumpuk sepanjang umur kita tapi bahkan dapat menimpakan dosa orang lain menjadi tanggung jawab kita. Ini semua disebabkan karena kita terlalu meremehkan dosa dan kesalahan terhadap sesama.
Oleh karena itu, dipenghujung Ramadan setelah dosa-dosa kita di ampuni oleh Alloh, maka selanjutnya adalah saling memaafkan di antara sesama manusia agar kita betul-betul suci terbebas dari dosa kemanusiaan yang dapat membangkrutkan pahala kita di akhirat kelak.

HAdirin JAmaah Idil Fitri yang berbahagia…
Inilah sesungguhnya makna idul fitri yang dimaksudkan. Secara etimologis, kata ied berarti kebiasan yang berulang, sedangkan fitri berasal dari kata fatara yang berarti menciptakan atau asal mula atau original. Jadi secara Filosofi, idul fitri memiliki arti hari raya yang berulang setiap tahun yang mengembalikan manusia dalam keadaan bersih, suci, terbebas dari segala dosa sebagaimana asal mula penciptaannya.
Demikianlah Islam menilai, bahwa manusia dilahirkan ke dunia dalam kejadian asal yang suci (fithrah) tanpa dosa sedikitpun. Seandainya tidak ada pengaruh lingkungannya, manusia diasumsikan akan tumbuh dalam kesucian itu. Firman Allah dalam Surat ar-Rum ayat 30:
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفاً فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ
ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ [الروم : 30[
“Maka hadapkanlah wajahmu kepada agama secara benar, menurut fitrah Allah yang atas itu pula Allah menciptakan manusia. Tiada perubahan pada ciptaan Allah. Itulah agama yang lurus, tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahui”.
Juga sabda Nabi SAW: كل مولود يولد على الفطرة
“setiap manusia dilahirkan dalam kesucian”.
Kesucian asal itu bersemayam dalam hati nurani dan selalu mendorong manusia untuk senantiasa mencari, berpihak, dan berbuat yang baik dan benar.
Akan tetapi, meskipun dasarnya suci, manusia adalah makhluk yang lemah, mudah membuat kesalahan, sehingga tergelincir ke dalam dosa yang menjadikan dirinya tidak suci lagi. Manusia mudah tertarik kepada hal-hal yang sepintas lalu menawarkan kesenangan, padahal dalam jangka panjang membawa malapetaka. Itulah sebabnya dalam agama kita ada ritus-ritus penyucian diri, dan ibadah puasa merupakan ritus yang utama untuk membakar habis dosa-dosa kita. Bukanlah suatu kebetulan, jika bulan yang baru saja kita lalui bernama Ramadhan, yang secara harfiah berarti “bulan pembakaran”.
Inti Idul Fitri adalah bersihnya kita dari segala dosa. Kesucian diri ini perlu terus kita pelihara, karena pada hakikatnya proses penyucian diri ini merupakan jihad an-nafs, proses yang sustainable, yang terus-menerus harus kita jalani sepanjang hidup. Betapa sulitnya proses ini sehingga Al-Qur’an menyebutnya sebagai al-`aqabah atau “jalan mendaki”. Sebagai manusia yang lemah, kita mungkin pernah tergelincir dalam kesalahan terhadap manusia yang lain, baik melalui ucapan maupun perbuatan. Dalam pergaulan sehari-hari sering terjadi pertikaian ataupun kesalahfahaman antara sesama anggota masyarakat, antara sesama kolega ditempat bekerja, bahkan sering terjadi perselisihan dalam satu keluarga, antara suami dan istri, antara anak dan orang tua, antara kakak dan adik. Marilah kita jadikan 1 Syawal 1430 Hijriah ini sebagai momentum untuk menghabisi perasaan dendam dan amarah yang mungkin tumbuh pada saat kita lalai dan terbawa oleh emosi. Marilah kita buka lembaran kehidupan yang baru, yang lebih akrab, yang bersih dari suasana pertikaian, sesuai dengan kesucian Idul Fitri.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
La ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar.
Allahu Akbar wa lillahilhamd.
Sejak Idul Fitri resmi jadi hari raya umat Islam, tepatnya pada tahun II H. kita disunahkan untuk merayakannya sebagai ungkapan syukur atas kemenangan jihad akbar melawan nafsu duniawi selama Ramadhan. Tapi Islam tak menghendaki perayaan simbolik, bermewah-mewah. Apalagi sambil memaksakan diri. Islam menganjurkan perayaan ini dengan kontemplasi dan tafakur tentang perbuatan kita selama ini.
Syeikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailany dalam al-Gunyah-nya berpendapat, merayakan Idul Fitri tidak harus dengan baju baru, tapi jadikanlah Idul fitri ajang tasyakur, refleksi diri untuk kembali mendekatkan diri pada Allah Swt. Idul Fitri adalah momentum mengasah kepekaan sosial kita. Ada pemandangan paradoks, betapa disaat kita berbahagia hari ini, saudara-saudara kita di tempat-tempat lain masih banyak menangis menahan lapar dan derita. Di Palestina mereka merayakan Idul Fitri di bawah ancaman mortir dan moncong senjata pasukan Israel. Di negeri-negeri lain, kaum muslimin merayakan ied dengan perasaan tidak nyaman, karena mereka minoritas dan termarjinalisasi.
Kita sebagai bangsa Indonesia patut bersyukur. Allah SWT telah menakdirkan bangsa Indonesia sebagai bangsa yang umat Islamnya paling banyak di muka bumi. Tidak ada negara manapun yang penduduk Muslimnya lebih banyak dari negara kita. Ditambah pula dengan anugerah Ilahi berupa sumber daya alam yang berlimpah. Bahkan Negara kita pada pertengahan dasawarsa 90-an, dipandang oleh dunia internasional sebagai salah satu dari Macan-Macan Asia di bidang ekonomi.
Namun, tiba-tiba saat ini, nikmat Allah itu tercerabut dari negeri kita. Krisis demi krisis menimpa negara dan bangsa Indonesia. Berbagai bencana alam datang silih berganti. Baru-baru ini terjadi gempa bumi di jawa bagian barat dan beberapa wilayah lainnya. Gempa itu, tak sedikit memakan korban manusia, harta benda, dan menghabiskan triliunan rupiah. Kejahatan dan teror merajalela, sifat ramah bangsa kita seolah-olah lenyap menghilang.
Apa yang sebenarnya sedang terjadi di negeri kita ini? Mengapa nikmat Allah berubah menjadi bencana? Mengapa negeri yang kaya raya dan terpandang kini menjadi negeri miskin dan penghutang besar? Mengapa masyarakat yang terkenal santun dan rukun berubah menjadi liar dan saling bermusuhan? Mengapa orang-orang yang tidak berdosa atau tidak bersalah harus pula menanggung musibah ini? Bukankah mayoritas penduduk negeri ini mengaku beriman kepada Allah, dan bukankah di negeri ini terdapat banyak ulama, ahli waris para nabi dan pemberi peringatan?
Kita mungkin akan tersadar jika membaca firman Allah dalam Surat al-Anfal ayat 25:
وَاتَّقُواْ فِتْنَةً لاَّ تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنكُمْ خَآصَّةً، وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ [الأنفال : 25
“Peliharalah dirimu dari malapetaka yang tidak hanya menimpa orang-orang zalim saja di antara kamu. Dan ketahuilah bahwa Allah amat keras siksaNya.”
Juga Surat al-Anfal ayat 53–54:
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّراً نِّعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَى قَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ *
َكدَأْبِ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَذَّبُواْ بآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَأَغْرَقْنَا آلَ فِرْعَونَ وَكُلٌّ كَانُواْ ظَالِمِينَ الأنفال : 53-54]
“Siksaan yang demikian itu terjadi karena sesungguhnya Allah tidak mengubah nikmat yang telah dianugerahkanNya kepada suatu bangsa sehingga bangsa itu sendiri mengubah apa yang ada pada diri mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui. Keadaan bangsa itu sama dengan keadaan Fir`aun dan pengikutnya serta orang-orang sebelumnya. Mereka mendustakan ayat-ayat Tuhannya. Maka Kami binasakan mereka lantaran dosa-dosa mereka sebagaimana Kami tenggelamkan Fir`aun dan pengikutnya. Semuanya adalah orang-orang zalim”(QS Al-Anfal 53-54).
Mungkin bangsa kita telah zalim sebagaimana Fir`aun dan para menterinya: Qarun, Haman, Bal`am serta para pengikutnya. Barangkali para penguasa, pengendali pemerintahan dan pengambil keputusan dalam masyarakat kita telah berperilaku seperti Fir`aun, merasa berkuasa mutlak dan berlaku sewenang-wenang terhadap rakyatnya. Boleh jadi para penguasa, para wakil rakyat, para aparatur negara dan para pengusaha telah menjadi rakus seperti Qarun yang mengumpulkan kekayaan dan harta tanpa peduli halal atau haram. Jangan-jangan para sarjana, ilmuwan dan kaum intelektual dalam masyarakat kita telah menjadi Haman yang mendedikasikan kecendekiaannya untuk kepentingan penguasa dan mengelabui rakyat. Dan tidaklah terbayangkan jika para ulama dan ahli agama dalam masyarakat kita telah menjadi seperti Bal`am yang menjual ayat-ayat Allah demi kepuasan nafsu dan mengemas kecintaan pada dunia dengan bungkus agama.
Atau barangkali kita telah terbiasa bersikap feodal seperti umat Nabi Nuh a.s. yang senang disanjung dan suka menghina sesama hanya karena perbedaan status sosial. Padahal Nabi Nuh a.s. telah berseru:
ألا تتقون ؟
Mengapa kalian tidak bertaqwa? Lalu Allah menghanyutkan mereka dengan air bah tanpa sisa (Asy-Syu`ara’ 105-122).
Atau barangkali kita telah bersikap sombong seperti kaum `Ad yang tidak mau mendengar nasehat karena merasa menguasai ilmu dan teknologi. Padahal Nabi Hud a.s. telah berseru:
ألا تتقون ؟
Mengapa kalian tidak bertaqwa? Lalu Allah membinasakan mereka semua (Asy-Syu`ara’ 123-140).
Atau barangkali kita telah menjadi serakah seperti kaum Tsamud yang mencari kekayaan dengan cara yang bathil. Padahal Nabi Shaleh a.s. telah berseru:
ألا تتقون ؟
Mengapa kalian tidak bertaqwa? Lalu Allah menurunkan azab bagi mereka (Asy-Syu`ara’ 141-159).
Atau barangkali kita telah melampaui batas seperti penduduk Sodom yang merusak tatatan rumah tangga dan nilai-nilai kehidupan keluarga. Padahal Nabi Luth a.s. telah berseru:
ألا تتقون ؟
Mengapa kalian tidak bertaqwa? Lalu Allah melenyapkan mereka di laut Mati (Asy-Syu`ara’ 160-175).
Atau barangkali kita suka berlaku curang seperti penduduk Aikah (Madyan) yang merugikan hak-hak orang lain. Padahal Nabi Syu`aib a.s. telah berseru:
ألا تتقون ؟
Mengapa kalian tidak bertaqwa? Lalu Allah mendatangkan siksaan bagi mereka (Asy-Syu`ara’ 176-191).
Allohuakbar 3 x walillahilhamd
Potret-potret bangsa terdahulu yang diceritakan al-Qur'an dan dimusnahkan oleh Alloh karena menentang perintah-Nya, nampaknya semakin terrefleksi oleh bangsa kita saat ini. Para kiai, ustad, dan ulama setiap detik menyampaikan dakwahnya di masjid, majlis taklim, melalui tulisan; bahkan dibulan Ramadan ini TV kita dikhiasi oleh acara-acara bernuansa Islami. Namun bersamaan dengan itu pula, kemaksiatan tumbuh subur, bahkan tampak lebih ekstrim. Di Bulan Ramadan tak sedikit orang secara terang-terangan melakukan kemunkaran, makan minum atau merokok di siang bolong seolah-olah dirinya menjadi pahlawan yang berani menentang Tuhan.
Pada Lebaran tahun lalu, khatib pernah menelusuri kawasan indekos mahasiswa di kawasan pendidikan tinggi di kota Bandung. Sungguh terkejut ketika membaca sebuah pamflet pengumuman yang tertempel di dinding tembok yang isinya undangan silaturahmi yang dilaksanakan oleh perkumpulan kaum homoseksual, gay dan lesbian yang anggotanya justru banyak dari mahasiswa dan intelektual. Penduduk Sodom, kaumnya nabi Luth yang ditenggelamkan di laut Mati, saat ini ternyata tumbuh subur di negeri kita.
Bertubi-tubinya bencana di negeri kita harus menjadi perhatian bersama, jika kita tidak mengharapkan generasi kita musnah. Para ilmuwan sekular boleh-boleh saja mengemukakan argumentasi logisnya mengenai bencana alam, para ahli geologi bebas-bebas saja berteori tentang gempa bumi baik vulkanik atau tektonik yang melingkupi kepulauan Indonesia, adalah sebagai gejala alam semata.
Gempa yang mengejutkan kita di Tasikmalaya Jawa Barat pada bulan Ramadan ini dan telah memakan ratusan korban dan kerugian triliunan harta benda, atau bencana-bencana alam lainnya; seringkali hanya mampu dijelaskan penyebabnya secara parsial dari sudut pandang teori-teori ilmiah. Bahkan seringkali penjelasan teoretik hanya memperdangkal dan mempersempit persepsi masyarakat tentang kesatuan sistemik jagat raya, tentang hubungan antara prilaku manusia dengan gejala alam dan sang pencipta.
Islam memiliki persepsi yang komprehensif dalam memandang semua fenomena alam. Bukan hanya dari sisi logika ilmiah tetapi juga dari sudut pandang ilahiah. Islam tidak menafikan peran logika dalam menafsirkan gejala Alam. Justru mendorong agar manusia terus berfikir.
Tetapi Islam juga membimbing dan menjelaskan hakikat-hakikat melalui informasi-informasi yang bersumber dari sang pencipta alam semesta yang dibawa oleh utusan-Nya Rasulullah SAW.
Islam menilai fenomena alam yang mengakibatkan musibah, terjadi tidak berdiri sendiri atau hanya suatu kebetulan semata. Jangankan bencana alam, selembar daun jatuh pun dari pohonnya sudah sudah diatur sedemikian rupa oleh Allah SAW. Oleh karena itu bencana Alam tidak bersifat independen, ia saling berhubungan antara Tuhan, manusia, dan alam itu sendiri.
Kalau khatib boleh menisbatkan hubungan antara Tuhan, manusia dan Alam semesta; maka ibarat sebuah perusahaan besar. Sederhananya, Tuhan adalah sang pemilik atau komisaris perusahaan, manusia adalah manager yang mengelola, dan alam semesta adalah perusahaan itu sendiri. Manager bertugas mengelola perusahaan agar untung dan mampu menyejahterakan karyawannya sesuai dengan ketentuan dan aturan main yang bersumber pada AD/ART perusahaan. Dalam hal ini, manusia sebagai manager bertugas mengelola dan memelihara alam semesta ini. Islam menyebut manusia sebagai khalifatullah yang bertugas memakmurkan bumi agar menjadi rahmat atau karunia bagi manusia dan makhluk lainnya. Ketentuan dan aturan main dalam mengelola alam semesta ini harus bersumber pada AD/ART perusahaan alam semesta ini yaitu Al-Quran dan As-Sunnah yang sudah disepakati dan diberikan oleh sang pemilik perusahaan, Alloh SWT. Jika manager berprestasi mengelola perusahaan maka ia pantas mendapat penghargaan. Begitupun sebaliknya, jika manager melakukan kesalahan atau melanggar aturan main, maka langkah pertama, koleganya harus memberikan teguran atau peringatan. Namun jika peringatan kolega tidak mempan dan manager semakin merugikan dan mengancam keberlangsungan perusahaan, maka komisaris boleh memutuskan untuk memberi sanksi yang lebih berat bahkan memecat.
Begitu pula manusia, jika dalam mengelola alam ini dan seisinya, memiliki prestasi yang baik maka ia pantas mendapat keberkahan dan kasih sayang Allah SWT. Namun jika manusia melakukan kesalahan atau melanggar aturan main yang termaktub dalam al-Qur'an dan As-Sunnah, maka pertama, tugas kita sebagai kolega harus memberikan peringatan atau nasihat. Itulah fungsi amar ma'ruf nahi munkar yang dilakukan ustadz, kiai, ulama bahkan merupakan kewajiban kita semua. Tujuannya agar kemaslahatan dan kesinambungan alam semesta ini tetap terpelihara. Namun tak sedikit manusia yang tetap membandel, egois, semau gue, memperturut hawa nafsunya; maka wajar kemudian jika sang komisaris perusahaan alam semesta ini Alloh SWT, memberikan sanksi yang lebih berat kepada manusia, sebagai manager. Bahkan kesalahan sang manager perusahaan terkadang dapat menimbulkan efek domino yang merugikan pihak-pihak lain. PHK karyawan, penghentian projek atau produksi, merusak sistem pasar bahkan dalam lingkup yang lebih besar dapat mengoyak tatanan sosial. Dalam kondisi yang paling parah perusahaan juga dapat dinyatakan pailit atau bangkrut dan ditutup oleh sang pemilik.
Begitulah personifikasi pengelolaan alam semesta termasuk bumi ini. Jika manusia sebagai managernya, terus menerus melakukan penyimpangan dari ketentuan dan aturan main yang telah digariskan oleh Alloh SWT atau dengan kata lain selalu bermaksiat kepada-Nya, maka jika sang Pemilik memberikan sanksi dapat menimbulkan efek domino yang melebar. Bisa jadi yang melakukan kemunkaran hanya seorang, atau sekelompok orang, tapi orang-orang yang tak bersalah seperti anak-anak dapat menjadi korban; bahkan juga hewan, tumbuhan, dan harta benda lainnya. Itulah yang terjadi dengan musibah-musibah yang menimpa di negeri kita atau belahan bumi lainnya.
مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
Tidak ada suatu musibah pun yang menimpa kecuali dengan ijin Allah; dan barangsiapa yang beriman kepada Allah niscaya Dia akan memberi petunjuk kepada hatinya. Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu.(QS. Taghobun: 11)
Dalam kondisi yang paling parah jika alam semesta ini dianggap tidak layak lagi beroperasi, karena bangunan dan system jaringannya sudah tidak normal, maka sang Pemilik akan menyatakan pailit atau bangkrut dan alam semesta ditutup. Itulah yang disebut kiamat kubro. Alam semesta ini dihancurkan sehancur-hancurnya. Manusia yang diberikan tanggung jawab mengelola dunia ini semuanya di PHK dan dipindahkan ke alam lain untuk diperhitungkan satu persatu mengenai pekerjaannya. Jika bekerja dengan baik, maka kebaikan sebesar atom pun akan diberikan upahnya, begitu pula sebaliknya.
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْراً يَرَهُ * وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرّاً يَرَهُ
Barangsiapa yang mengerjakan kebaikan seberat dzarrahpun, niscaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya. Dan barangsiapa yang mengerjakan kejahatan sebesar dzarrahpun, niscaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya pula. )QS. Zalzalah 7-8).
Musibah-musibah yang selama ini terjadi baik yang disebabkan oleh fenomena alam seperti gempa bumi atau yang diakibatkan oleh ulah manusia seperti banjir, kebakaran, penyakit, atau kecelakaan; dalam perspektif Islam dianggap kecil dan disebut sebagai kiamat sughra. Musibah ini bisa sebagai sanksi atau peringatan dari Alloh SWT. Sanksi atau peringatan ini kemungkinannya, kita dapat mencegahnya atau minimal menghindarinya. Caranya adalah bertaqwa. Mencegah banjir, bentuk taqwanya adalah memelihara hutan dan tidak melakukan illegal loging. Mencegah penyakit, bentuk taqwanya adalah pola hidup sehat, makan yang halal dan baik.. dst..dst..
ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ [الروم : 41
Telah nampak kerusakan di darat dan di laut disebabkan karena perbuatan tangan manusia, supaya Allah merasakan kepada mereka sebahagian dari (akibat) perbuatan mereka, agar mereka kembali (ke jalan yang benar).
Jadi sekali lagi kuncinya adalah bertaqwa.
Musibah-musibah yang menimpa umat-umat terdahulu pun seperti yang telah disebutkan oleh khatib tadi, seluruhnya diakibatkan karena tidak bertaqwa.
Allohuakbar 3X walilahilhamd..
Bertaqwa, itulah tujuan dilaksanakannya prosesi shaum Ramadhan selama 1 bulan penuh, sebagaimana firman Alloh SWT.
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
Hai orang-orang yang beriman, diwajibkan atas kamu berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas orang-orang sebelum kamu agar kamu bertakwa (QS. Al-Baqarah 183).
Ramadan dengan seluruh aktivitasnya sesungguhnya merupakan upaya meningkatkan kepribadian muslim dan masyarakatnya menuju pribadi yang berkualitas, baik secara fisik maupun mental spiritualnya. Kepribadian yang berkualitas ini, al-Quran mengistilahkannya dengan kata Taqwa. Dan orang-orang yang berkualitas fisik dan mental spiritualnya disebut muttaqin.
Berbicara tentang kualitas diri atau taqwa, dalam dimensi Islam sesungguhnya dapat diukur dan bukan prilaku pasif dan beku. Tetapi merupakan sesuatu yang aktif dan dinamis. Taqwa bukanlah kesadaran iman dalam arti percaya semata yang hanya dapat dirasakan oleh hati seseorang. Tetapi taqwa adalah entitas yang riil, dapat diukur, dan tampak sebagai kenyataan yang hidup. Taqwa dapat dirasakan akibatnya oleh diri sendiri dan orang lain. Seseorang bertaqwa diukur oleh perwujudan lisannya, ekspresi tubuhnya, tindakan tangan dan langkah kakinya, dan juga cara berfikir otaknya.
Taqwa dapat diukur secara riil dalam prilaku manusia. Dikatakan seseorang bertaqwa jika setiap ujaran yang diluncurkan lisannya adalah sesuatu yang jujur, benar, dan santun. Kesantunannya bertutur, tatkala berbicara dengan orang lain, tidak menimbulkan fitnah, menyakiti perasaan, tidak menggunjing dsb. Wujud riil taqwa adalah ketika seorang istri di tinggal suami ia mampu menjaga kehormatan dirinya dan harta suaminya. Wujud riil taqwa adalah ketika seorang suami tidak bersama istrinya tapi mampu menjaga kesetiaannya. Wujud riil taqwa adalah ketika seorang pedagang tidak menipu kepada pembelinya. Wujud riil taqwa bagi orang miskin adalah ikhtiar mendapatkan harta yang halal. Wujud riil taqwa bagi orang kaya adalah banyak bersedekah menyantuni fakir miskin dan yatim piatu. Wujud riil taqwa adalah ketika seorang karyawan tetap bekerja dan disiplin saat atasannya tidak ada. Wujud riil taqwa adalah ketika seorang pejabat tidak menyalahgunakan jabatannya. Wujud riil taqwa adalah ketika seorang penguasa atau pemimpin menjalankan amanahnya mengurusi rakyat dengan baik.
Itu adalah wujud-wujud riil taqwa. Mengapa demikian? Karena orang yang bertaqwa orientasi hidupnya hanya kepada Allah SWT. Ketika seorang berpuasa dalam keadaan sendiri dan makanan ada di depannya, karena orientasi puasa kita karena Alloh maka kita tak berani memakannya. Ketika suami sendiri, padahal di sekitar kita banyak wanita menjajakan diri, suami bertaqwa tidak takut istri, tapi takut dosa kepada Alloh. Ketika pejabat di ruangan sendiri, milyaran uang berada dalam laci, pejabat bertaqwa tidak takut KPK, tapi takut kepada Allah. dst..dst..dst
Pertanyaan selanjutnya: Mengapa kita harus bertaqwa?
Jawaban singkat yang pertama: adalah agar Allah tidak murka kepada kita. Jika Alloh murka maka yang kena bukan hanya kita, istri kita, suami kita, anak kita, saudara kita, tetangga kita, penduduk sekampung, bahkan rakyat senegara. Kedahsyatan murka Alloh sesuai dengan kadar kesalahan kita.
لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللّهُ نَفْساً إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ
Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya. Ia mendapat pahala (dari kebajikan) yang diusahakannya dan ia mendapat siksa (dari kejahatan) yang dikerjakannya.
(QS. Al-Baqarah 286).
Mengapa kita harus bertaqwa?
Jawaban yang kedua: karena taqwa adalah tujuan antara atau jembatan penghubung dalam mencapai kebahagian yang menjadi tujuan utama manusia. Semua manusia pasti mendambakan hidup bahagia. Tapi terkadang ukuran kebahagiaan seseorang itu berbeda. Tapi Islam memberikan tuntunan untuk mencapai hidup bahagia yang hakiki. Bahagia di dunia dan bahagia di akhirat kelak.
Pertanyaan selanjutnya: Apa hubungan taqwa dengan bahagia?
Dalam al-Quran banyak ayat yang mengaitkan taqwa dengan bahagia. Misalnya:
وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
Bertaqwalah kalian kepada Allah agar kalian memperoleh kebahagiaan (QS Ali Imran 200)
فَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ يَا أُوْلِي الأَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
Maka bertaqwalah kalian kepada Allah wahai orang-orang yang berakal agar kalian memperoleh kebahagiaan (QS. Almaidah 100).
Dan masih banyak lagi ayat-ayat lain yang bunyinya serupa.
Allohuakbar 3x walillahilhamd
Ada enam kiat yang diajarkan Islam agar kita bisa hidup bahagia. Kiat-kiat tersebut semuanya berkaitan dengan nilai taqwa :
Pertama, Hidup bergantung hanya kepada Allah SWT. (Allohushomad)
Jika perbuatan kita ingin punya nilai, maka harus senantiasa didasari oleh orientasi kepada Allah Penguasa alam semesta. Jika sebaliknya, kita melakukan suatu perbuatan dimana kita mengharapkan pujian dari manusia, manakala tidak ada yang memuji, maka hati kita akan kecewa, merasa sedih, dan galau. Begitu juga dalam bekerja, jika ingin dinilai ibadah, maka baik ada orang maupun tidak ada, ada atasan ataupun tidak; kita tetap bekerja dengan baik, karena kita hanya berorientasi kepada Allah SWT. Jika orientasi hidup kita sudah kepada Allah, maka apapun sikap manusia terhadap diri kita; jika memuji kita tak akan lupa diri, dan jika menyakiti, kita tak akan kecewa dan sakit hati. Begitu pula terkadang kita menghadapi ketakutan dan kekhawatiran dalam menghadapi kehidupan, misalnya khawatir pesawat yang kita tumpangi jatuh. Kekhawatiran ini akan menimbulkan ketidaktenangan. Apabila kita menghadapi hal seperti itu, maka satu-satunya cara agar kita terbebas dari kecemasan dan ketakutan tersebut adalah dengan menggantungkan diri kita kepada Allah SWT Sang Pemilik dan Pengatur alam semesta.
Sikap mental seperti inilah sumber ketenangan dan ketenangan akan menghasilkan kebahagiaan.
Wahai jiwa yang tenang. Kembalilah kepada Tuhanmu dengan hati yang puas lagi diridhai-Nya. Maka masuklah ke dalam jama'ah hamba-hamba-Ku, masuklah ke dalam syurga-Ku.(QS Al-Fajr 27-30)
Kedua, melaksanakan perintah Alloh dan menjauhi larangan-Nya.
Agar kita hidup bahagia, maka cara yang harus kita lakukan adalah melaksanakan perintah-Nya dan menjauhi larangan-Nya. Menyimpang dari aturannya hanya akan menimbulkan masalah dalam diri kita, dan masalah akan mengakibatkan rasa gelisah dan tidak tenang. Semakin jauh kita menyimpang dari ketentuannya akan semakin banyak masalah yang ditimbulkan, dan semakin banyak masalah yang muncul, akan semakin galau kehidupan kita.
Ketiga, banyak beristighfar dan berdzikir
Tak ada manusia yang tak pernah melakukan dosa atau kesalahan. Tetapi menyimpan rasa salah dan dosa dalam diri kita hanya akan menimbulkan kesengsaraan jiwa kita.. Maka untuk mengobatinya adalah dengan mohon ampun dan berdzikir agar dosa yang meracuni jiwa kita dihapuskan. Selain itu berdzikir mengingat Allah walaupun hanya dengan lisan dan suara hati, akan memberikan aura pada jiwa kita berupa ketenangan.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
(yaitu) orang-orang yang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingat Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingati Allah-lah hati menjadi tenteram (Ar-Ra'du 28).
Keempat, segera meminta maaf bila melakukan kesalahan pada sesama manusia.
Sebagai manusia, mungkin saja kita membuat kesalahan kepada teman, rekan, saudara, tetangga atau orang lainnya. Agar kita tidak terus merasa cemas, was-was dan gelisah sebagai akibat dari kesalahan yang kita buat kepada orang lain tersebut. Kita jangan ragu dan gengsi untuk meminta maaf, apabila kita memang berbuat salah kepada orang lain.
Kelima, merasa cukup (Qanaah) dan bersyukur.
Bersikap merasa cukup atas apa yang telah Allah berikan kepada kita akan menimbulkan rasa syukur. Sikap bersyukur dengan merasa cukup ini akan membebaskan kita dari hawa nafsu untuk selalu memiliki yang lebih dan lebih tanpa ada rasa puas. Sikap selalu merasa kurang akan membuat hati kita terus-menerus dilanda gelisah yang membuat jiwa kita tidak tenang. Rasa tidak puas adalah perasaan yang ditumbuhkan oleh hawa nafsu yang tanpa batas dan dapat menjerumuskan kita pada kesengsaraan batiniah.
Keenam, banyak memberi.
Kiat yang terakhir yang harus kita lakukan agar kita hidup merasa bahagia adalah dengan banyak berbagi kepada orang lain, terutama kepada orang-orang yang nasibnya tidak sebaik kita. Meskipun orang yang diberi itu merasa senang, tapi batiniah orang yang memberi jauh merasa lebih berbahagia, karena tangan di atas itu lebih baik dari pada tangan di bawah. Kita harus terus berupaya agar apapun yang kita miliki memiliki dampak dan nilai manfaat yang dirasakan oleh orang lain yang ada di sekitar kita.
Itulah enam kiat bahagia yang semuanya sesungguhnya mencerminkan wujud taqwa. Jika setiap kita melaksanakan wujud taqwa ini maka kita pasti akan memperoleh kebahagian dan di jauhkan dari musibah dan malapetaka.
Marilah kita ubah musibah yang mungkin telah menimpa diri kita atau masyarakat kita; menjadi sebuah nikmat agar hidup bahagia dunia dan akhirat. Caranya dengan mengubah perilaku pribadi dan perilaku masyarakat kita. Sebagai individu, marilah kita buang arogansi Fir`aun, kerakusan Qarun, kelicikan Haman dan kemunafikan Bal`am. Sebagai bangsa, marilah kita tinggalkan sikap feodal kaum Nuh, kesombongan kaum `Ad, keserakahan kaum Tsamud, tabiat menyimpang penduduk Sodom, dan kecurangan penduduk Aikah.
Insya Allah, pribadi kita khususnya akan memperoleh kebahagiaan di dunia dan di akhirat, dan bangsa Indonesia umumnya akan kembali ke tempat terhormat penuh rahmat. Sebagaimana disebutkan dalam al-Quran:
بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ (سبأ : 15)
Negara aman makmur gemah ripah lohjinawi dalam ampunan rabul izzati.
بَارَكَ اللهُ لِيْ وَلَكُمْ فِى الْقُرْءَانِ الْعَظِيْمِ وَنَفَعَنِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ بِمَا فِيْهِ مِنَ الأيَاتِ وَالذِّكْرِ الْحَكِيْمِ،

Dalam khotbah kedua ini sebelum kita berdoa, marilah kita saling memaafkan, bebaskan rasa dendam dalam diri kita agar kita menjadi pribadi yang suci bebas dari dosa baik kepada Allah maupun kepada sesama. Marilah kita memanjatkan doa kepada Allah `Azza wa Jalla. Semoga Dia berkenan mengabulkan segala permohonan kita.
إن الله وملائكته يصلون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما اللهم صل وسلم على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين. قل اللهم مالك الملك تؤتي الملك من تشاء وتنزع الملك ممن تشاء وتعز من تشاء وتذل من تشاء بيدك الخير إنك على كل شيء قدير. تولج الليل في النهار وتولج النهار في الليل وتخرج الحي من الميت وتخرج الميت من الحي وترزق من تشاء بغير حساب
Allohumma ya robbana…
Engkau saksikan kami pada pagi ini menundukkan kepala dengan kepasrahan dan kerendahan hati. Kami yang hadir di sini adalah hamba-hambaMu yang lemah tanpa daya. Hamba-hambaMu yang banyak dosa dan kesalahan ! Karena itu ya Allah ampunkanlah dosa-dosa kami, dosa orang tua kami, saudara-saudara kami, guru-guru kami, handai taulan, muslimin dan muslimat baik yang masih hidup maupun yang sudah meninggal.
Ya Allah jangan Engkau tinggalkan dosa kami kecuali Engkau ampuni, jangan biarkan orang sakit di antara kami, kecuali Engkau sembuhkan. Jangan Engkau tinggalkan seorang dalam keadaan susah dan resah kecuali Engkau segerakan kebahagian. Jangan Engkau jadikan dosa-dosa kami sebagai penghalang dari rahmat dan magfirahMu. Dan jangan jadikan dosa-dosa kami sebagai penghalang limpahan rizkiMu.
Ya Allah, Jangan biarkan tumbuh dalam hati kami rasa hasud, iri dengki, dendam, permusuhan dan perselisihan. Jadikan jiwa dan hati kami berkumpul di atas mahabbah dan kecintaan kepadaMu, himpunlah jiwa kami dalam ketaatan kepadaMu.
Ya Allah, kami bersyukur atas karunia yang Engkau berikan berupa amanah kehidupan. pasangan hidup, anak-anak, cucu-cucu, pekerjaan, kekayaan. Untuk itu ya Allah bantulah kami dari kelemahan-kelemahan kami, jangan sampai semua itu menjadi fitnah bagi kami di dunia, terlebih di akhirat. Jadikan itu perhiasan hidup dan penyejuk hati yang dapat mengokohkan iman kami dan membawa kebahagiaan.
Ya Allah kokohkan ikatan persaudaraan kami, kekalkan cinta di antara kami, tunjukkan kami, dengan sinarMu yang tak pernah pudar, hiasi jiwa kami dengan tawakal kepadaMu, hidupkan jiwa kami dalam ma’rifah kepadaMu dan matikan kami dalam keadaan khusnul khotimah.
Ya Allah, tunjukilah para pemimpin bangsa kami ke jalanMu yang lurus, berilah mereka kesabaran dalam memberikan yang terbaik untuk bangsa dan negara ini, sadarkan orang-orang yang zhalim di antara mereka, jauhkanlah musibah dari kami dan bangsa kami. Berilah kesabaran kepada orang-orang yang terkena musibah, Ya Allah, angkatlah bangsa kami dari jurang kehinaan, bimbinglah para pemimpin kami ke arah kebaikan, dan tunjukkan bagi kami jalan keselamatan dunia dan akhirat agar kami tidak tersesat. Ya Alloh, Engkau Maha Mendengar dan Maha Mengabulkan. Kabulkanlah doa kami.
Allaahumma innaa nas’aluka l-`afwa wa l-`aafiyah, wa l-mu`aafaata d-daa’imah, fi d-diini wa d-dunyaa wa l-aakhirah, wa l-fauza bi l-jannah, wa n-najaata mina n-naar.
Allaahumma innaa nas’aluka muujibaati rahmatik, wa `azaa’ima maghfiratik, wa s-salaamata min kulli itsm, wa l-ghaniimata min kulli birr, wa l-fauza bi l-jannah, wa n-najaata mina n-naar.
Allaahumma innaa nas’aluka iimaanan kaamilaa, wa yaqiinan shaadiqaa, wa `ilman naafi`aa, wa rizqan waasi`aa, wa qalban khaasyi`aa, wa lisaanan dzaakiraa, wa halaalan thayyibaa, wa taubatan nashuuhaa, wa taubatan qabla l-mauut, wa raahatan `inda l-mauut, wa maghfiratan wa rahmatan ba`da l-mauut, wa l-`afwa `inda l-hisaab, wa l-fauza bi l-jannah, wa n-najaata mina n-naar.
Rabbanaa aatinaa fi d-dunyaa hasanah, wa fi l-aakhirati hasanah, wa qinaa `adzaaba n-naar, wa adkhilna l-jannata ma`a l-abraar, yaa `aziiz, yaa ghaffaar, yaa rabba l-`aalamiin.
وجعلنا الله و إياكم من العائدين والفائزين المقبولين
Was-salaamu `alaikum wa rahmatu l-Laahi wa barakaatuh.
