  • Berjoget Bersenam tidak salah pada pandangan Islam?

    Event_30b

    Tertarik dengan dialog yg Saya dengar ketika di dalam MRT tadi. Perbualan ini adalah antara dua orang wanita, seorang antaranya adalah muslimah yg bertudung.

    Muslimah A: Semalam seronok parti kat rumah si dektu. All female party, no guys allowed, and sorry lah – takde alcoholic drink pun. Aku ajak kau, tapi banyak lah excuse kau.

    Muslimah B (bertudung): Aku ada gym session. Dah plan siang2 event tuh.

    Muslimah A: gym? Itu gym kau all female gym ke? Apa korang buat?

    Muslimah B: Ah ah, all female gym lah – no guys allowed….Semalam ada Zumba Sh’bam. Berpeluh aku dibuatnya…tapi syiok lah

    Muslimah A: Semalam all-female parti aku pun Ada session berdansa juga. Latin dance pun ada….alaaa macam zumba juga. And chances are si dektu tuh nak organize lagi every week….macam pergi gym juga lah aku nampak2nya…tak salah kalau kau join aku one of these days…don’t worry, it is all female event. Kita joget happy2…kita joget to feel good, kau boleh joget macam Zumba sh’bam lah, atas niat exercise….i’m sure tak salah kan dalam agama kalau niat kau masih betul berexercise….common, boleh lah join aku next week? Ok?

    Begitu lah perbualan mereka hingga mereka berdua keluar Dari MRT.

    Apabila di fikirkan balik kuliah ahad yg lalu, teringat pula ayat yg di sebut kan oleh mufti ketika itu. Bahawa syaitan telah berjanji kepada Allah bahawa dia Akan Cuba menyesatkan manusia selagi dia hidup di dunia….sedikit Demi sedikit…perlahan-lahan…

    Moga boleh kita mengambil pengajaran dari peristiwa ini.

    Wallahu a’lam

  • Isu Tudung: Masyarakat Melayu Islam dihampakan oleh PM Lee

    1417773_200564180150540_986202652_o

    Usaha PM kita bertemu dgn Ketua2 Badan Melayu Islam harus diberi pujian jika pertemuan itu diiringi dengan elemen2 seperti:

    – benar2 bertujuan mahu mendengar,
    – bersikap jujur dan ikhlas.
    – mahu bersifat terbuka dan telus
    – berani berdepan dgn pengkritk

    Paling penting, selepas mendapatkan feedback dan rayuan dari Ketua masyarakat Melayu Islam, kami mengharapkan PM MENCARI JALAN bagaimana permintaan kita utk menggunakan tudung BOLEH menjadi kenyataan, bukan bagaimana untuk mencari lebih banyak alasan utk menidakkan permohonan kami.

    Jika ada Ketua2 Agama lain yg hadir pada ketika itu, ada lebih bagus sebab ketika itu jugalah PM boleh cari jalan bagaimana hendak memberi laluan pada Muslimah kita berhijab tanpa melanggar “the common space”

    PM harus “come out clean” dan bertemu dgn pengkritik dan pembangkang yang lebih berani menyuarakan pendapat daripada Ketua masyarakat Melayu Islam yg “kurang telur”

    Jika PM mengambil jalan bertemu dan duduk semeja dgn pengkritiknya beliau masih boleh menepis sambil memberi sedikit laluan pada isu ini, Kepastiannya ialah, masyarakat majmuk akan lebih respek PM diatas kejujuran dan keberanian berdepan dgn pengkritiknya. Harus diingat, isu ini bukan sahaja melibatkan isu agama, ia juga melibatkan isu politik Singapura. Justeru, PM tidak boleh menafikan, pendapat dari pengkritik atau pembangkang tidak semestinya tidak berkualiti.

    Malangnya, harapan masyarakat Melayu Islam sekali lagi dihampakan oleh PM yg jelas menunjukkan sikap “my answer is NO”

    Dgn menangkap muat semua Ketua masyarakat Melayu dan memberikan gambaran mereka semua terima dan akur dgn apa yg PM telah hujjahkan, tidak akan mengalihkan keperihatinan masyarakat Melayu Islam yg sudah terlalu lama bersabar dan menunggu.

  • MOE tutup sebelah mata tentang guru-guru ‘Gay’, homoseksual

     

    1095114_525402597576861_1829898061_n

    Ever since my elder sister passed away I’ve been taking care of her son JJ. I took him in since he was 8 years old and I love him dearly like my own. Now he is a teenager. Being a mother of two young children is easier than a mother of an adolescent. The challenges are different, and this somewhat prepared me of what’s coming for my two daughters later.

    I was checking the house computer and saw several pictures of naked men. My two younger girls are too young to use computer. I confronted my JJ and he strongly denied it. After much probe, he finally relented and claimed those obscene pictures belong to him. We asked if he has any issues on sexual orientation and wish to talk about it. JJ said that he was going to tell me and hub that he thinks he’s gay, but apparently the day came too soon. We asked many questions to peek into his new found interest and understand when and where it had developed. Over the past year, he became quiet and shut himself in the room often. Throughout the conversation, JJ kept saying that we ‘straight people’ will never understand that he’s born that way. He kept insisting that he was born gay. I felt like a failure because I don’t know where I had gone wrong or what did I do wrong. I have let my sister down. Should I let JJ continue being gay or should I get someone to talk to him like a counsellor?

    The most disturbing part is that he claimed it is normal to be gay. Even his teacher is gay. We went to a school website and asked him to show us who is the gay teacher. Apparently the teacher is a HOD. He refused to detail how he got wind of this info. Me and hub got worried. HOD means possibly the teacher can be a principal in future.

    My question is: Does MOE conduct background checks on their key appointment personnel before they take on these important roles? So MOE takes a tolerant stand on LGBT issues?

  • Menutup Aurat bagi Kaum Wanita Yg Beragama Islam

    Aquila-Style-WEB-Fuss-Free-Hijabs

    Dalil-dalil wajibnya menutup aurat bagi kaum wanita. Panduan bagaimana menutup aurat dengan sempurna juga telah disampaikan.

    Bagi muslimah yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari kebangkitan, syabas jika antum taati perintah ini. Bagi yang masih belum, masih part time tutup aurat hanya pada masa-masa tertentu saja dan yang tutup aurat tanpa perhatikan tuntutan syariat…Malaikat Jibril manakah yang telah mendatangi kalian dan menyampaikan wahyu mengizinkan kalian bersikap demikian? Tunduklah kepada perintah dan larangan Allah, ancamannya sangat keras bagi yang ingkar…

    1) “Wahai Muhammad! katakanlah kepada isteri-isterimu, anak-anak perempuanmu dan isteri-isteri orang Mukmin, ‘Hendaklah mereka mengulurkan jilbabnya.” [Surah Al-Ahzab (33):59].

    2) “Wahai Asma’ sesungguhnya seorang wanita itu apabila telah baligh (haidh) maka tidak boleh baginya menampakkan tubuhnya kecuali ini dan ini, seraya menunjukkan wajah dan telapak tangannya.” [HR Abu Dawud]

    3) Dan katakan kepada perempuan-perempuan yang beriman, supaya mereka menahan sebahagian penglihatan, memelihara kehormatannya dan tiada memperlihatkan perhiasannya (tubuhnya) selain daripada yang nyata (mesti terbuka daripada bahagian badannya yang sangat perlu dalam pekerjaan sehari-hari, seperti mukanya dan tapak tangan). Dan hendaklah mereka sampaikan kudungnya ke leher (tutup kepalanya sampai ke leher dan dadanya), dan tiada memperlihatkan perhiasannya (tubuhnya), kecuali kepada suaminya, bapanya, bapa suaminya, anak-anaknya, anak-anak suaminya, saudara-saudaranya, anak-anak saudara lelaki, anak-anak saudara perempuannya, sesama perempuan Islam, hamba sahaya kepunyaannya, lelaki yang menjalankan kewajibannya tetapi tidak mempunyai keinginan (terhadap perempuan – umpamanya pelayan-pelayan lelaki yang sudah tua dan tiada lagi mempunyai keinginan kepada perempuan) dan kanak-kanak yang belum mempunyai pengertian kepada aurat perempuan. Dan janganlah mereka pukulkan kakinya, supaya diketahui orang perhiasannya yang tersembunyi (misalnya melangkah dengan cara yang menyebabkan betisnya terbuka atau perhiasan seperti gelang/rantai kakinya nampak). Dan taubatlah kamu semuanya kepada Allah, hai orang yang beriman, supaya kamu beruntung.
    [Surah an-Nur, ayat 31]

    4) Wahai anakku Fatimah! Adapun perempuan-perempuan yang akan digantung rambutnya hingga mendidih otaknya dalam neraka adalah mereka itu di dunia tidak mahu menutup rambutnya daripada dilihat oleh lelaki yang bukan mahramnya. [Hadis riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim]

    5) Asma binti Abu Bakar menemui Rasulullah dengan memakai pakaian yang tipis. Sabda Rasulullah: Wahai Asma! Sesungguhnya seorang gadis yang telah berhaid tidak boleh baginya menzahirkan anggota badan kecuali pergelangan tangan dan wajah saja.” [Hadis riwayat Muslim dan Bukhari]

  • Constructive Dialogue and Constructing Legitimacy

    The government’s continued policy to ban the hijab should not come as a surprise.

    Yaacob Ibrahim said in his note that he wants us to continue constructive dialogue with him. According to Yaacob, he and the Malay MPs will then raise it with PM and the Cabinet.

    Constructive dialogue is a nebulous term. The best definition is an event where two or more parties speak and listen to each other to help everyone improve. A dialogue requires speaking and listening. The parties should have relatively equal power.

    But that is not how it works with the Singapore government.

    There are several key components to constructive dialogue Singapore style:

    1. Citizens provide feedback to the government.

    2. This feedback should be held in proper respect and decorum.

    3. Government representative listens to the feedback.

    4. Representative explain their position.

    5. Representative assures citizens their views will be taken under advicement.

    This is not a dialogue. It is a claim for legitimacy.

    But let us assume there is a constructive element to dialogue. Is being constructive evenly applied? Or is there greater expectation on one party than another?

    If the engagement is based on citizen disagreement with government policies, then the constructive nature applies to how the citizen engages the government.How does the engagement take place? What are their relative powers?

    The power differential is large. The government is the sole decision maker. Because it is held under the banner of being constructive, the manner, not just the message is important.

    Criticism would be considered negative. Instead, feedback should be given with proper deference.But what is also important is not the actual meeting. Both parties know how the other would react. Take yesterday’s meeting between the government and Muslim leaders for example. What was the meeting about?

    The optimists had hoped the government would make concessions. They attended the meeting with the belief that a decision had been made and the government would shift their policy. In this scenario, they expected the government to accede to their request prior to the meeting. The meeting itself was not to construct a new position. It was to listen to an announcement. That cannot be seen as being constructive.

    The pessimists (who were proven right this time), had expected the government to announce the policy would remain as is. Once again, there is nothing constructive. The only constructive argument made is that feedback is given so that the government may modify the policy in future. But this is not a new issue.

    There had been numerous discussions over 41 years. Where is the constructive agenda in the process?The pessimist’ assessment is however flawed on one significant point. They believed that the government met with Muslim leaders to inform them of the rejection prior to announcing it to the public.

    It is supposed to break the news a little easier. The argument follows that since the government took time to meet and announce it to them, it shows that the government takes the issue seriously.

    But that is not why they were invited to meet. Because what followed was more important than what was said during the meeting.

    When the government announced their rejection, they referred to the meeting to claim the decision’s legitimacy. Various media reports referred to the government’s meeting with Muslim leaders. They further indicated that the leaders understood the government’s decision.

    Halimah Yacob posted her FB page saying:

    “We had a very good discussion with representatives of PERGAS and the Malay Muslim organizations at Mendaki just now on the hijab issue. The leaders appreciated that the Malay Muslim MPs were doing our best on this issue…”

    The meeting was not simply to inform Muslim leaders of the decision. It was to grant moral authority to the rejection of the hijab. The government claimed that Muslim leaders understood the ban. That should mollify the community. If our leaders accept and appreciate the decision, then so should we.

    Constructive dialogue then was not a mere exercise to find a better process. It has always been a process to grant legitimacy to unpopular decisions.
