Theory of RAHMAN or RAHMAAN?

Rahman is the transliteration of an Arabic given name رحمن that comes from the triconsonantal root R-Ḥ-M, meaning benevolent. In Islam, the name الرحمن is considered one of the 99 Names of God.

According to Kwong Wah Yit Poh, the best selling paper in Penang, Anwar Ibarhim in an exclusive interview said that RAHMAN should be spelled as RAHMAAN because the Arabic pronunciation of Rahman should be Rahmaan (double-a).

Why is Anwar so obsessed with the spelling of the word? It is because of the the RAHMAN Theory which foretell that the first seven Prime Ministers of Malaysia ‘must’ follow the alphabets of the word RAHMAN:

R = Tunku Abdul Rahman (1^st PM)
A = Abdul Razak Hussein (2^nd PM)
H = Hussein Onn (3^rd PM)

M = Mahathir (4^th PM)
A = Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (5^th PM)

A = Anwar (6^th PM)

N = Najib (7^th PM)

If the pronunciation of Rahman is Rahmaan, then Anwar should become the next Prime Minister. Otherwise Najib should be the one.

If A is for Anwar, then N could be Najib, Nik Aziz, Nurul Izzah, Nasaruddin Md Isa, or even DAP – Ngieh?
