  "account": "Syeikh Wazir Che Awang Al-Makki, a respected cleric from Kelantan, denounced any attempts to overthrow the government as being haram, or forbidden, in Islam. Speaking at a Sebarkan Salam@Kota Bharu Berselawat program in Masjid Muhammadi here, Syeikh Wazir warned that such actions recall the history of the Khawarij, a group that opposed the leadership of Uthman RA and fought against Ali RA. He emphasized that opposing the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is particularly sinful. \"The law is that it is haram to overthrow a just government,\" he declared. The program also included Anwar Ibrahim, Kelantan's Deputy Chief Minister Nassuruddin Daud, and Minister of the Prime Minister's Department Zulkifli Hasan, as well as acting Deputy Minister Marhamah Rosli. Abdul Rahman Omar warned that anyone continuing to challenge the government's leadership is acting ungratefully for the stability they provide, reflecting their disloyalty. He noted that the appointment of a leader is a divine decree, while human support and the electoral process are merely tools. Syeikh Wazir prayed for Anwar Ibrahim's longevity to continue leading the country throughout their lives, hoping more blessings would be bestowed upon everyone. Ultimately, he cautioned that such actions are indicative of disloyalty and ungratefulness towards Allah's blessings and the kindness of leaders.",
