After slaughtering his fourth cow, Terengganu Menteri Besar Abdul > Hadi Awang was invited to a villager's house and joined the family for > refreshments on a straw-mat on the floor. > > Five minutes later, he thanked the family for their hospitality. As he was > about to get up and make a move to another villager's home, a five-year-old > girl wearing head scarf seated next to him asked him to take a break. > > Hadi looked at her and quipped, "It's already late, sayang (dear). There are > 15 more to go." Everyone laughed. > > Yes, 15 more cows were to be sacrificed that day in the village, sweet with > the pungent smell of blood and the deep scent of grass. > > All around the area, eager rural folk had tied these cows to coconut trees. > Seven households would pay for one cow which roughly costs RM2,500. They had > invited the local religious teacher, in this case Hadi, and were waiting for > him to perform the act of korban (religious sacrifice) after which part of > the meat would be distributed to the poor and the needy. > > The occasion was Hari Raya Aidiladha, a day to commemorate the great > sacrifice performed by Prophet Ibrahim who was all set to slaughter his own > son as instructed by Allah but was stopped by the Creator at the last minute > and asked to sacrifice a lamb instead. > > Kampung Rusila in the Marang district is the birth-place of 56-year-old > Hadi, who is also the deputy president of Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS). > > Popular Friday sermons > > The morning before Aidiladha, he was giving a sermon at the mosque in the > centre of the village just as his late father, Awang Muhammad, once did. The > mosque was rebuilt from a simple surau (prayer house) with donations from > locals. > > The 90-minute sermon Hadi delivered was just one of the many kuliah > (lectures), as it is known to the local Muslims, he gives every Friday > morning. > > At least 3,000 people must have had listened to his kuliah that day, > including those from neighbouring districts who came all the way to Kampung > Rusila. > > Some 1,000 of them were packed in the mosque. Another 1,000 - men, women and > even their children - settled down outside the mosque and listened to his > voice blasting through speakers on the mosque tower. Some sat in their own > cars and vans. But most just sat on the open ground in front of the mosque, > under the blazing sun. > > As for the rest, mostly villagers staying in the vicinity of the mosque, > they sat in the porches and verandahs of their homes and listened to Hadi's > sermon from a distance. > > In the mosque, quoting the example of Prophet Ibrahim who was ready to carry > out Allah's order without a doubt, a stern-looking Hadi facing a video > recorder confidently advocated in a firm voice total submission to the > Almighty. > > During his sermon, people nodded occasionally in agreement and some were > diligently jotting down notes on the pages of a thin Jawi booklet called > Akidah Muslimin which was written by Hadi. The booklet is one of the three > 'textbooks' for the kuliah besides the Quran and the Hadith (words of > Prophet Muhammad). > > Recorded for distribution > > But it was not all traditional methods of preaching. That Friday's kuliah, > like many of his before, was recorded on camera and would eventually be > compiled into video compact discs (VCD) and cassette tapes to be distributed > free to the public. > > After the sermon, on his way out to his fenced wooden house some 20 paces > away from the mosque, people flocked to him and greeted him. They clasped > his hand with their both theirs and lowered their forehead to it - the salam > gesture reserved only for the elderly and respectable in the Muslim > community. > > Hadi inherited his house from his father. But his father passed on more than > just a house to him - he left Hadi the legacy of being the son of the > religious teacher who taught the present Sultan of Terengganu's grandfather. > > Children were playing and running around in the yard of his house. Visitors > are welcome anytime, no appointment needed, provided that he is in. > > There is no personal bodyguard for him. Security measures are barely visible > except for the police patrol car which comes around his house a couple of > times at night. > > Even after becoming the state chief three years ago, he remains in Kampung > Rusila and only stays at the mentri besar's official residence when he > receives guests. > > Religion first, politics second > > One villager said, "Tok Guru (the master, referring to Hadi) always has his > door open for us. He is a busy man now but he still makes the effort to > teach us every Friday." > > Not only does he teach them, Hadi also makes it a point to be with the > village folk, mostly farmers and fishermen, when there is a special event > like the korban for Aildiladha. > > To the people in Kampung Rusila, he is a religious teacher first and a > political leader second; something which many of Hadi's political detractors > fail to realise or simply refuse to accept. > > When Hadi was named last year by the now defunct Asiaweek as the seventh > most influential communicator in Asia, many of the magazine's readers > wondered why. > > And indeed, they shall continue to wonder why.
