  • Yazidi Woman Held As ISIS Sex Slave ‘Abused Every Day’ For Seven Months

    Yazidi Woman Held As ISIS Sex Slave ‘Abused Every Day’ For Seven Months

    A sex slave held by the terror group Isis for seven months has described her captors as “not like humans”.

    The 25-year-old woman, who has four children, was held by jihadists in Syria where she says she was abused every day by her captor.

    “I cannot tell you how awful these people are. They were not like humans, you cannot imagine it,” the Yazidi woman told Sky News.

    She said her children were beaten to make sure she did as she was told, adding: “I was so worried that he [her captor, known as Omar] would take away my children.

    “They were very violent and shouting every day. My father and brothers were taken away and even now we don’t have any news of them.

    “Most probably they were killed but it’s better. It’s better that they are dead and not in prisons with these people. Even us, we were just wishing to die rather than stay with such people.”

    In December, Nadia Murad Basee Taha described the terrifying ordeal of how she was imprisoned by Isis fighters to the UN security council, before urging them to bring perpetrators of such violence to justice.

    “We, the women and children were brought by bus to another region,” she said. “Along the way they humiliated us. They touched us and violated us.

    “They took us to Mosul with more than 150 other Yazidi families. There were thousands of Yazidi families and children who were exchanged as gifts.

    “One of these people came up to me, he wanted to take me, I was absolutely petrified. He forced me to serve as part of his military faction.

    “He humiliated me every day. He forced me to wear clothes that didn’t cover my body. I was tortured.

    “I tried to flee but one of the guards stopped me. That night he beat me.”

    Isis jihadists justify raping Yazidi women because they claim Islam allows them to have sex with non-Muslims.

    Rothna Begum, women’s rights researcher, Human Rights Watch, says: “Isis forces have abducted thousands of Yezidis since August 2014 and committed organized rape, sexual assault, and other horrific crimes against many Yezidi women and girls.

    “These are war crimes and may be crimes against humanity. We spoke to women and girls who escaped and told us they had been forced into marriage; bought and sold, sometimes in “slavery markets” and even multiple times, or given as “gifts”.

    “Isis acknowledges such crimes and attempts to justify them by categorizing captured Yezidi women and girls as “spoils of war” for its fighters, and claims that Islam permits sex with non-Muslim “slaves”.”

  • MUIS, MBMF And Tranparency

    MUIS, MBMF And Tranparency

    The last few days, there have been some murmurings about MUIS’ decision to increase the amount that every Muslim contributes to the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund (MBMF).

    Beginning from 1st June, MBMF contributions will increase between $1-10.

    There are of course, several perspectives to this issue.

    First, MBMF helps the community to build masjid and run Mendaki activities.

    Mendaki also contributes a portion of the funds to other Muslim organisations it supports.

    Second, MBMF is a very efficient way to collect funds. Rather than wait for Muslims to send in their donations or organise standing orders to deduct part of their salary, MBMF reverses method. Muslims are assumed to agree to donate and only opt-out if they do not want to contribute. This ensures maximum contribution.

    However, while there is benefit to the system, there are certainly obvious flaws.

    The main flaws are centred on the lack of transparency and consultation.

    First, it removes the intention from the donor. The donor do not decide to contribute. The money is taken from him.

    That donors can opt-out does not negate the fact that those who remain may not necessarily intend to donate.

    or even if they agree, that decision was taken away from them from the beginning.

    Second, and more importantly, is the lack of transparency and consultation.

    While we can appreciate some of the work done by MUIS and Mendaki, there is still a lot of problems with regard to its institutional and functional designs.

    Both organisations’s finances are primarily supported by the Muslim community.

    Whether it is through MBMF, zakat harta, fitrah, waqf etc, the bulk of financial support comes from the Muslim community.

    And yet, they are not accountable to the community.

    When was the last time MUIS held a consultation session with the Muslim community to seek our input in their performance and actions?

    When did the Muslim community, the body that pays for MUIS and Mendaki’s main expenses, appoint the leaders of these two organisations?

    MUIS and Mendaki leaders are appointed by the government.

    They report to the government.

    But we pay their expenses.

    And when the government discriminate against Muslims, both organisations have taken the government’s position.

    And there have been quite a number of reports on how some Muslims in need were turned away by MUIS and Mendaki.

    We pay their expenses, support their programs and help them operate…but are not consulted.

    Instead, they reported to and are appointed by the government.

    And turn away some in need.

    Yes, Muslim organisations need support.

    But the support should come with accountability.

    And at times, it may be better to use the money that is deducted for MUIS and Mendaki to help those we know are truly in need.

  • JAKIM: Allah Hina Rakyat Yang Tidak Hormat Pemimpin

    JAKIM: Allah Hina Rakyat Yang Tidak Hormat Pemimpin

    KUALA LUMPUR, 11 Mac ― Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) mengingatkan umat Islam agar mentaati pemimpin kerana ia salah satu perintah Allah.

    Melalui khutbahnya hari ini, jabatan itu berkata pemimpin bukan sahaja mempunyai tanggungjawab terhadap rakyat tetapi pemimpin juga berhak mendapat keadilan daripada rakyatnya.

    “Sesiapa yang memuliakan dan menghormati pemerintah, maka Allah akan memuliakannya pada hari kiamat.

    “Manakala mereka yang tidak memuliakannya (pemimpin), maka Allah akan menghinanya pada hari kiamat kelak.

    “Perbuatan merendah-rendahkan pemimpin ibarat melepaskan tali kekang Islam dari lehernya,” teks khutbah bertajuk “Ujian Sebuah Kesetiaan” dipetik.

    Mimbar berkata larangan menghina pemimpin terdapat dalam hadis yang diriwayatkan Imam Ahmad daripada Abu Dzar.

    “Sesungguhnya akan muncul selepasku pemerintah, maka janganlah engkau menghinanya, sesiapa yang ingin menghinanya, maka sesungguhnya dia telah melepaskan tali kekang Islam dari lehernya,” mafhum hadis seperti dipetik dalam teks khutbah.

    Khutbah hari ini turut mengingatkan bahawa mentaati penguasa atau pemerintah umat Islam menjadi salah satu prinsip dalam iktikad Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah.

    Teks itu menyebut umat Islam wajib memahami tanggungjawab dan menghormati pemimpin, bahkan menyokong apa yang telah dirancang.

    “Rakyat wajib taat kepada pemerintah dan negara. Jika mereka cuai dan tidak bertanggungjawab, maka mereka tidak beradab di sisi Allah.

    “Kombinasi antara pemerintah yang adil dan rakyat yang taat akan mencetuskan kebaikan yang merata dalam sesebuah masyarakat dan dinikmati oleh semua pihak.

    “Bagaimana mungkin kita mampu mengecapi semua nikmat ini seandainya barisan kepimpinan kita bukan dalam kalangan yang layak iaitu adil, cekap, bijak dan prihatin?” kata khutbah.

  • MUIS – It Is Not Justifiable For Sultan Mosque To Chase Us Out Because A Minister Is Visiting

    MUIS – It Is Not Justifiable For Sultan Mosque To Chase Us Out Because A Minister Is Visiting

    Dear Sultan Mosque – Singapore.

    My friends and I were chased out of your public praying area by one of your staff around 5pm because a “minister” was visiting your premises. After our (5 of us) Asr prayers we sat down for a discussion about Islam matters and fiqh. Out of a sudden one of your staff came to us and told us to leave the premise because “5 or more people sitting in the prayer hall is an offence”.

    Since when is this a rule in Allah’s house. What make matter worse when he go on and on about Isis and illegal gathering. As this is Allah’s house my friends and I just want to leave the hall without any unnecessary argument.

    As we were taking our belongings to leave he added “as there will be a minister visiting this mosque, it is advisable for you guys to leave because this might be an ugly sight for the minister and the mosque.”

    You know what? May Allah judge you and your organization for this appalling incident and niat. So a minister is greater than Allah?

    ITTAQULLAH!
