Last week's Fryday commenting on the election and performance of New Zealand's new Prime Minister John Key generated more response than any Fryday of recent times. Those of you who rushed to Key's defence, and there were many of you, may be interested and chastened to know that you were equalled in number by those who agreed with Fryday that Key's election-night performance left a lot to be desired. So, I have to say, did your argument in his favour. Most who defended Key did so on the somewhat superficial basis that he (Key) was at least better than Clark. So? Whilst I agree with you in the Clark comparison, by putting that forward you missed entirely the point Fryday was making. And that was that by his waffling, clichés and goofy grin on election night and his flip-flops on issues such as the Maori seats during the election John Key has exhibited none of the decisiveness that we would expect and now need in a new leader. Yes, change is all to the good, but how good? Certainly not to the scale nor scope of the American election night result. We could have done better. But there is only one Obama and America (and the world) needs him more than we do. We'll settle for Key. After all, we have no choice.

There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is Allah's Messenger
I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger.
Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers (salath), to pay the charity (zakat), to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so
Islam teaches us that this life is a life of worship. We are placed on this earth in order to worship Allah and obey His command. During this earthly life we are subjected to a series of trials. We have the option of enduring these trials and conforming to certain laws, and our reward will be great in the next life, or we may decline to endure these trials and choose to not conform to the law, then we will be made to regret it in the next life.
Each person will be solely and completely responsible for their own final reward. Allah has guided us to make this life a better, safer, and more tolerable one for us. If we elect to conform to them then we will see the result in this life even before moving on to the next.
So do believe in Allah, do believe in His angels, do believe in His Books (Scriptures), do believe in His Messengers, do believe in the Day of Judgment and do believe in the Divine Decree (Divine fate) whether good or evil
Allah created us, and we know that we should only worship Him. This is an instinct Allah has created us with. He did not just leave us, rather He sent prophets for us. These prophets had miracles as proof. The miracle for us today is the Quran. There is no other religion that worships only Allah, and believes in Him as totally perfect, and believes in all of His prophets i.e. JESUS, MOSES, NOAH, ABRAHAM,MUHAMMAD and the holy scriptures
May ALLAH enlighten you.
