Multiracial Reverted Muslims president Firdaus Wong reminds that Islam should never be treated as a political tool. Not because religion has no place in politics, but because Islam itself is a complete way of life.

It guides every aspect of a Muslim’s daily life, from birth to manners and even personal hygiene.

He explained that just as we don’t blame a car or knife for being misused, we shouldn’t blame Islam when people exploit it for personal or political gain—the fault lies with the user, not the tool.

Firdaus noted that the misuse of Islam is not new and extends beyond politics. Throughout history, religion has been manipulated for wealth, influence and even war.

He stressed that the answer is not to separate Islam from politics, but to ensure politics is guided by Islamic values, not the other way around.

00:00Islam and politics cannot be separated because Islam is a way of life, it's an
00:05awkward way of life, from cradle to the grave. That every single aspect of our
00:10life is Islam. You can just name any aspect, any moment in your life that has
00:17no relationship at all with Islam. You will find it very difficult. We were to
00:21look into the question itself that can Islam and politics be separated since
00:27there's a lot of people to misuse Islam for political gay. That I will use a
00:33different analogy for us to understand. Let me give some example. You will have
00:38people who misuse car, motorbike or even knife or even weapons. Yeah, so we could
00:47play the weapon but we play the user. So if the user do not know how to use, it is
00:53our job to educate them on the right way on how to use it. Likewise,
00:57Islam and politics cannot be separated because Islam is a way of life, it's an
01:02awkward way of life, from cradle to the grave. That every single aspect of our
01:08life is Islam. You can just name any aspect, any moment in your life that has no
01:15relationship at all with Islam. You will find it very difficult. As much as you try
01:21to separate your life from Islam, although you are a naughty
01:24administrative, you can't. Every single aspect, even to go to the toilet, which
01:30league to go with first? When the baby was born, what you do with the baby? How to name,
01:35where to name, what to do with the baby? At every single aspect, anything I recall is a sink. Where the
01:42companion was asked by a Jew's, where the Jews asked, your prophet even has taught you
01:48how to clean up after go to the toilet? Now, just imagine, who on earth will go and teach you what you do
01:58after going to the toilet. You know how to do your own business. Well, if you know how to go to the
02:02toilet, you must know how to clean yourself. But yet, Islam give a plate guidelines on that.
02:08Now, yes, I agree that there are people who misuse the name of Islam for political gain. But again,
02:15we also have to understand and accept the fact that Islam has not been misused already for political gain.
02:22It has been misused by many people as well. Even Baya Pusib are misusing Islam too. For economic gain,
02:30for political gain, for inrasions, for whatever reason that we call. So, it's difficult. But it is not
02:38possible to separate Islam and politics. A lot may have to do. It's more about educating and portray the
02:47true Islam when it comes to politics. I always remember the job and our role as a movement is to
02:54Islamize, is to convert, if I will name, is to convert the system to become more Islamic, to in line with
03:03political Islamic values. Not that Islam follow the political will or political gain or political
03:10interest. Whatever agenda that any political party or any politicians will to have, have to be
03:16in line with Islam. So, with that, I will say that we can't separate Islam and politics. And the
03:24lesson is very clear. Islam is a way of fun.
