Malaysian Obedient (Wives) Club

I am doing a little bit reading about the Malaysian obedient club. Apparently, the club is setup by female ex-members of the al-Arqam group. The al-Arqam group was banned over a decade ago, though you can always find remnants of the group still active in one form or another. The female members of the group (al-Arqam) always wore their obligatory black niqabs (face covering).

The old (banned) group went at length to emphasize polygamous marriages. So it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the objective of the new club is to share with wives knowledge on how to satisfy their husbands.

The spokeswoman for the group said

“When husbands come home from work, wives do not welcome them with warm, alluring smiles and sexy dressing sprayed with beautiful fragrance to stimulate sexual arousal - but with stale saliva. This is the reality today.

“Much of the problems in society are caused by disobedient wives who do not bring joy and happiness to their husbands and do not serve their husbands well,” Global Ikwan's spokesperson Maznah Taufik had said, before announcing the move to form the club.

Interesting hadiths about Ghulat

The True Face of Tashayyu (that is the name of the blog) posted many interesting hadiths about Ghulaw (Exaggeration in the belief of Imamah).

Key facts about the Ghulaww
  1. They falsely believe that Allah swt has given the Holy Prophet (pbuh &hf) and Imam Ali (as) the powers over the creation, to give sustenance and to give life and to take away life (death)
  2. They falsely believe that Allah swt needs partners in creation, giving sustenance and in the matters of life or death.
  3. Believing in the reincarnation makes you a disbeliever (not a Muslim)
  4. Ghulats are disbelievers and mufawidha (delegators) are polytheists.

Who is Abdullah Ibn Saba?


The enemy of Shia accused him as the founder of Shiaism. He is said to be a Jew from Yemen. And you know how much Muslims like to blame Jews for everything.

I am back

My blog was inactive for the past three weeks. So, now that I am back from vacation, hopefully I will be able to write more.
