who are we to say wait or no in front of Him?
His Majesty Titah..
"Although Brunei Darussalam is small, this should not impede us from taking steps toward implementing Islamic Laws because as Muslims, we are obligated to implement it in fulfilling the demands of Allah the Al-Mighty. When Islamic Laws are in place, only then this glorious land can be called 'Baldatun Taibatun Warabun Ghafur' or 'a good nation and Allah is most merciful'. We have no option other than to obey all Allah's commands. This is one of our obligations. One of the commands is to implement His laws. These are Islamic Laws in general. On 15th July 1996 and at a meeting of the Brunei Islamic Religious Council on 13th March 2011, I had especially spoken on Islamic Criminal Laws. This, too, should be given serious and immediate attention. We can no longer say "no or wait" because we already have everything, we have the capability and the power to implement it. It is not appropriate if we continue to say no or wait. Who are we in the presence of Allah the Al-Mighty to say "no or wait" when the laws are not newly legislated, but have been stipulated in the Al-Qur'an and hadiths since the year 1400? Moreover, where are we with the Al-Qur'an and hadiths? Because of this, I am most beckoned, without any hesitation, to see an Islamic Law Act exists and implemented while not denouncing Conventional Laws, which will also continue to be adopted. This means that an Islamic Law Act is needed, whilst at the same time Conventional Civil Law Act is not sidelined".
