****
Kenyataan Media serta kaitan dengan Undang-Undang Tubuh dan setiap Enakmen yang berkaitan. Satu persoalan pokok yang sedang berlegar dalam diri, apa hal nya dengan Hukum yang HAQ, perkara yang berkaitan dengan kebenaran, adakah kita perlu membisu.???

Bagaimana dengan AMAL MA'RUF NAHI MUNGKAR???

Bagaimana pula dengan Hadith Nabi yang bermaksud "Sampaikan lah dari ku walaupun satu ayat" ?

Bagaimana ??????

Israq Mikraj

Satu kejadian yang sangat penting dalam kalender orang Islam. Apa yang berlaku waktu itu, apa implikasinya dahulu dan sekarang.

Berapa ramai yang beriya iya, menyambutnya dengan ceramah, ada yang menghantar SMS kepada rakan dan taulan untuk berpuasa dan sebagainya. Ada berberapa negeri di Malaysia, cuti pada hari isnin kerana menghormati hari ini.

Ramai yang tak sedar dan tak kisah pun. Yang jelas, berapa ramai yang dapat membesakan antara Islam dan KeIMANan .

Renung renungkanlah.

Aurat ....

Kefahaman tentang AURAT dan cara memakai berpakaian atau "fashion", adalah satu perkara yang sangat subjektif. Ada berberapa cara menutup Aurat seperti yang tertera didalam AlQuran dan AlHadith, tetapi ada juga disebabkan oleh budaya sesuatu tempat. Misalnya bertudung, berselendang, berskaf dan sebagainya. selain dari itu, istilah yang selalu digunakan termasuk BURQA, CHADOR, HIJAB dan NIQAB.

Oleh kerana kejahilan, seseorang, dengan sendirinya mereka membuat andaian tersendiri. Satu ketika dulu, kejahilan saya membuat saya memberikan istilah "Darth Vader" kepada wanita yang memilih untuk memakai 'NIQAB'.

Oh jahilnya ....

KENYATAAN SARKOZY HINA BURQA, MUSLIM : MCB

PARIS : Sebuah pertubuhan Islam di Britain menyelar Presiden Perancis, Nicolas Sarkozy, atas kenyataannya bahawa pakaian yang menutup seluruh anggota dan muka seperti burqa menjadikan wanita umpama banduan.

Sambil menyifatkan kenyataan itu sebagai "memandang rendah dan menghina penganut agama Islam", pertubuhan berkenaan bimbang kenyataan Sarkozy akan membangkitkan semula perasaan "Islamfobia" di Eropah.

Di Paris, Parlimen dengan rasminya membentuk sebuah suruhanjaya bagi mengkaji pemakaian jubah oleh warga Muslim di Perancis sehari selepas Sarkozy memberitahu ahli Parlimen bahawa negara bekenaan tidak membenarkan pakaian seumpama itu di tempat awam.

Seorang pegawai tertinggi Majlis Muslim Britain (MCB) menyifatkan Sarkozy mengamalkan 'politik memecahbelahkan masyarakat Islam', dan percaya komennya boleh membangkitkan reaksi anti-Islam di Eropah. "Adalah menghina apabila beliau menyatakan wanita Muslim memakai burqa kerana menghadapi tekanan atau paksaan teman lelaki atau penjaga mereka." kata penolong setiausaha agung MCB, Reefar Drabu.

"Kenyataan seperti itu boleh dilihat sebagai bersifat bermusuhan terhadap Islam."

Salah seorang ahli politik Muslim berprofil tinggi di Britain turut memberi pendapatnya dan menyatakan bahawa soal pakaian seseorang bukan menjadi tanggungjawab kerajaan. Menteri Masyarakat, Shahid Malik berkata " tiada undang undang yang menghalang pakaian mana yang patut dipakai dan terpulang kepada individu sendiri untuk menentukan sama ada dia pilih untuk memakai hijab atau burqa atau skirt pendek."

Di Paris, suruhanjaya 32 anggota yang ditubuhkan Parlimen, dengan wakil daripada keempat-empat parti utama Perancis akan mengadakan perbincangan yang menjurus kepada pembentukan perundangan yang melarang pemakaian burqa di tempat awam - langkah yang dilihat oleh kumpulan pemerhati hak asasi manusia sebagai tidak wajar.

"Melarang burqa tidak memberi kebebasan kepada wanita," kata Jean-Marie Fardeau, pengarah Human Rights Watch di Paris. "Ia hanya akan menyebabkan wanita yang memakainya menjadi tersisih."

Perancis mempunyai penduduk Muslim terbesar di barat Eropah, dianggarkan lima juta orang. Sekumpulan kecil wanita Perancis memakai burqa dan niqab yang menutup seluruh anggota badan atau semua sekali kecuali mata.

Suruhanjaya itu dijangka mengambil masa enam bulan untuk menyiapkan kajiannya, yang mungkin akan menjurus kepada cadangan mengadakan peraturan untuk pemakai burqa. - AP

Jewish "modesty patrols' sow fear in community

.

JERUSALEM : In Israel's ultra Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behaviour they consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such "sins" as wearing a red blouse, and attack stores selling devices that can access the internet.

.

In recent weeks, self-styled "modesty patrols" have been accused of breaking into the apartment of a Jerusalem women and beating her for allegedly consorting with men. They have torched a store that sells MP4 players, fearing devout Jews would use them to download pornography. "These breaches of purity and modesty endanger our community," said 38-year old Elchanan Blau, defending the the bearded, black robed zealots. "If it takes fire to get them to stop, then be it."

.

Many ultra-Orthodox Jews are dismayed by the violence, but the enforcers often enjoy quiet approval from rabbis eager to protect their own reputations as guardians of the faith, community members says.

.

And while some welcome anything that keeps secular culture out of their cloistered world, others feel terrorised, knowing that the mere perception of impropriety could ruin their lives. "There eyes and ears all over the place, very similar to what you hear about in countries like Iran," says Israeli-American novelist Naomi Ragen, an observant Jew who has chronicled the troubles that confront some women living in the ultra-Orthodox world.

.

The violence has already deepened the antagonism between the 600,000 haredim, or God-fearing, and the secular majority, which resents having religious rules dictated to them.

Now, this is one of many cases, just like Islam, other religion also have people who tend to force their version of the religion onto others, forgeting the main issue of knowledge and truth.

Ramadhan Al Mubaraq

1 Ramadhan 1429

Muslim all over the world start fasting today where ever they are, as this is one of the five pillars of Islam. As long as you profess the faith, you shall fast not only from food and drink but on anything that is not good, be it words or action.

All over the world, people of different culture, time zone shall start their fast before sunrise until sunset. Some will fast shorter period if the sun rises late, and the sun sets early, while others shall have to fast longer when the sun rises early and sets much later. It seems unfair from the human mind, yet it is unique in its own way. Sometimes the logical mind just could not comprehend.

Islam as Allah SWT has trusted to us through Muhammad SAW in the AlQuran, are very clear for those who seeks the truth and as such he shall abide by it. Do what is asked and ruled upon you, refrain and (do not do anything) from what that are deny to you and belief (have faith) in stories related in the Al Quran.

To some "intelectual mind" this cannot be, and as such continue to query the very sense of Islam, this is very true on both side of the human character. Those who accept Islam, shall say Allah SWT has more to the Al Quran through its meaning in between, and therefore it is imperative for us human to unearth the truth. On the other hand, there are also Muslims as well, and kafir(unbelievers) who says that those who follows blindly are not using their god given intelligent correctly. For this and this alone there are articles, books and what not about Islam which has been written, discussed through forums and debate that shall not end.

Muhammad SAW has said that "Addin nu yusrun" Islam (the religion) is simple. The only thing that you should do is to seek the truth of Islam (its knowledge) through the right mean and methods. You "must" get the correct knowledge about Islam through "Manqul, Musnad, Mutassil and within the correct Jamaah". It is for those who really wish to be truthful to the faith of Islam. This is for those who seek to be the "ONE" instead of those of the rest (i.e the other 72).

So to fast is as simple as 1,2,3 if you talk about food and drink, because if not you shall be waiting for what to eat when breaking fast approaches (some people eat themselves silly in Ramadhan, more than they do within the other months put together).

And for that alone, one need to understand Ramadhan as it is expected upon us. Happy fasting and may Allah bestowe upon us his rewards. Amin

Islam .... always misunderstood

Islam has been misunderstood throughout the ages.

It is only fair that you have different view and understanding all because who you talk to, be it those who profess to be muslim and those who are not. Taking a simple understanding of the religion, all those who profess to the religion are those who submit, while those who does not are the unbelievers (known as kafir). As it is it is a choice of an individual and Islam never force anyone to accept its teaching. And that is why we have muslims all over the world in every colour, race and nationalities.

Now that being said, Prophet Muhammad SAW (peace be upon him) did stress in one his hadith (tradition) that in the end, Islam will split into 73 groups, 72 will enter the hell hire (nar), only one will surely enter heaven (jannah), that is Jama'ah. Again, almost all who profess to be muslim will say and admit to the fact that they are the one, and only their group will be the one admitted to heavens.

Well, if we are to argue and debate this issue, until kingdom come, we will never ever admit that we are in wrong group, however if we can agree to accept the truth (HAQ) and nothing else but the truth, we have no problem about correcting ourself and maintaining the true path until judgement day.

The problems has always been who said it, who teaches it, which race or country he/she comes from, rather than the truth as mentioned in the "AL Quran" and "Al Hadith". Than comes the people who gave different intepretation towards the "Al Quran" and the "Al Hadith". For that reason and that reason alone we should be vary of any intepretation that leads to discreditting of the truth of Islam as originally brought to us by Prophet Muhammad SAW.

If Muslim are a misunderstood lot, there are no reasons for us to wonder how Non Muslim could know any better. Therefore it is only imperative that we correct our understanding first, before we could aspect others to really understand Islam as it is meant to be.

There is already an Anti-Islam Congress in Cologne that might just spark anger and hatred among people of the world. As the organizer are only finding ways to clarify their misunderstanding, most muslim will only add fire to their misunderstanding by demonstration and attempt to fight or to them JIHAD. This is where we tend to differ, we need to corrrect our own faith and believe for we know that at the end, Allah SWT, will protect Islam as long as the believer are through to the teaching brought by all his prophets since Adam Alaihissalam until the final revelation of the "Al Quran" through Muhammad SAW.

Only and until we correct ourself, Islam shall continue to be misunderstood.

Fitnah

What is Fitnah?

In basic terms it means anything (usually doings) that was not done by any individual, yet s/he is being blame for it. Fitnah is worst than killing, so beware so that you might not fall into the trap laid once you take a stand to agree that it is the truth, when you for a fact are not sure, more so if it is heresay. Beware my friends, it is not worth it.
