Tulisan Yusuf Al Qaradawi Dikeluarkan Dari Kurikulum Pendidikan Menengah Dan Universiti Saudi Arabia

Menteri Pendidikan Arab Saudi mengarahkan semua buku-buku tulisan ulama ulung Yusuf al-Qaradawi dikeluarkan daripada kurikulum pendidikan menengah dan universiti.

Ini setelah ulama tegar Mesir itu dimasukkan ke dalam senarai pengganas bersama lagi 59 individu lain yang ada kaitan dengan Qatar, lapor Al Arabiya.

Menteri Pendidikan Arab Saudi Dr Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Issa mengeluarkan arahan tersebut bagi memastikan tiada buku-buku dan bahan-bahan tulisan Encik Yusuf al-Qaradawi di perpustakaan universiti, kolej, sekolah dan jabatan-jabatan pendidikan.

Jika terdapat buku-buku tulisan ulama berkenaan, Dr Ahmed berkata, pihak berkuasa akan memastikan ia ditarik balik.

Penulisan Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi juga tidak dibenarkan untuk diterbitkan di masa akan datang.

Ini kerana ia mungkin berbahaya terhadap pembentukan pemikiran para pelajar disebabkan sensitiviti dan pentingnya topik tersebut, lapor laman Al Arabiya.

Dr Ahmed sudahpun mengharamkan buku-buku semua pihak dan golongan intelek yang dikaitkan dengan fahaman berbahaya dan pelampau, malah memaklumkan kepada para ketua sekolah awam dan privet supaya jangan membenarkan mana-mana buku atau penerbitan dimasukkan ke dalam koleksi perpustakaan sekolah menerusi derma, persatuan atau ibu bapa, kecuali diluluskan oleh Agensi Ehwal Sekolah.

Pihak berkuasa pendidikan di negara itu juga sudah memutuskan untuk membentuk sebuah jawatankuasa dalam setiap jabatan kementerian bagi menjalankan lawatan ke sekolah-sekolah.

Ini bagi memastikan sekolah-sekolah bebas daripada buku-buku yang melanggar undang-undang.

Kementerian itu juga menekankan pentingnya pemilihan para pegawai untuk menguruskan sumber-sumber pembelajaran yang datang dari para karyawan yang boleh diyakini dan berpengalaman dengan fahaman moderat, lapor Al Arabiya.

A Call To Lead – Qualified Malay Candidates Must Show Courage, Step Up And Give Singaporeans True Choice

As we get closer to Syawal, Malays in Singapore are also getting closer and closer to the day of reckoning – come election day in September, Singapore will have its first Malay President since the late Encik Yusof Ishak, albeit in a reserved election. People like Dr Tan Cheng Bock and human rights lawyer M Ravi are challenging the constitutionality of the elections but chances are, the elections will go through. Up till now, we still don’t know which candidate PAP will support but everyone thinks it’ll be current Speaker of Parliament, Halimah Yacob. What about alternative candidates who are independent from PAP? Besides Mr Salleh Marican, no one has stood up to be counted. The silence is deafening but unsurprising.

Poor Mr Salleh Marican has faced a lot criticism the moment he announced his candidacy. A lot of people have, rightly so, questioned his candidacy as he is not purely of Malay ethnicity. His lepak interview with BeritaMediacorp outside the elections department where he basically mangled the Malay language, did nothing to convince Singaporeans that he is adequately Malay. Some more critical ones have even taken to disparaging his wife’s appearance. All this is nothing but damaging to his confidence in running for Presidency.

What Singaporeans must appreciate is that it takes a lot of courage for a successful businessman like Mr Salleh Marican to take up public office. He does not need to do this because he needs the money. He doesn’t. He is already rich. He is doing this because he wants to. He wants to serve because heeded the call of Lee Hsien Loong for capable and qualified Malay Singaporeans to step up to contest the elections.

He may have been a mess but it could just be nerves, One doesn’t create a multi-million dollar empire overnight. Mr Salleh Marican has the mettle and the political savvy to succeed.

He also has his heart in the right places. Besides his business, Mr Salleh Marican is actively involved in philanthropic activities. Since 2009, Mr Salleh Marican was appointed a founding member of the Board of Temasek Cares, a philanthropic organisation established by GIC Temasek Holdings. Halimah Yacob was also a founding board member.

Temasek Cares had help fund the setting up of the Family Therapy Institute in Eunos, run by PPIS.

He is now also a Treasurer of the Temasek Cares Board, ‘who now includes former PAP MP, Zainul Abidin Rasheed.

There are not many candidates with Mr Salleh Marican’s background. There are also not many candidates like him who are brave enough to step up. However, is he truly the candidate for the Malay community?

We call on other Malay leaders to follow in the footsteps of Mr Salleh Marican to offer themselves as a candidate for Presidency. Some may say that too many candidates will dilute the votes for non-establishment candidates but an election is about the exercise of power by the individual through the ballot box. Singaporeans are smart enough to choose the right candidates with the right credentials. One who is independent from the influences of the incumbent.

Laporan Di Doha: Jemaah Qatar Dilarang Masuk Masjidil Haram

Tindakan pihak berkuasa Arab Saudi mencegah rakyat Qatar daripada memasuki Masjidil Haram, mengeruhkan lagi krisis diplomatik di negara Teluk.

Demikian menurut laporan akhbar Al Sharq yang berpangkalan di Doha.

Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia Qatar (NHRC) menerima aduan daripada rakyat Qatar bahawa para jemaahnya dilarang masuk ke Masjidil Haram, lapor akhbar itu pada Sabtu (10 Jun).

Ketua NHRC, Ali bin Smaikh al-Marri menyifatkan insiden itu sebagai mencabuli secara terang-terangan hak untuk mengamalkan agama seperti yang dibenarkan oleh konvensyen hak kemanusiaan, lapor akhbar itu lagi.

Lazimnya, pihak berkuasa Arab Saudi tidak menyoal para jemaah yang memasuki Masjidil Haram mengenai latar belakang kaum atau fahaman mereka.

Dakwaan itu diterima beberapa hari setelah UAE dan Bahrain menyatakan “simpati” yang ditunjukkan kepada Qatar di media sosial adalah satu jenayah, lapor Aljazeera.

Menurut Amiriah Arab Bersatu (UAE) para pesalah boleh dijatuhi hukuman penjara sehingga 15 tahun dan didenda $136,000 (S$188,290).

Bahrain pula mengisytiharkannya sebagai kesalahan yang boleh dijatuhi hukuman penjara sehingga lima tahun.

Pertikaian antara Qatar dengan negara-negara Arab memuncak setelah satu serangan siber ke atas agensi berita pemerintah Qatar.

Arab Saudi, Bahrain, UAE dan Mesir memutuskan hubungan diplomatik dan pengangkutan dengan Qatar pada Isnin lalu (5 Jun), menuduhnya menyokong fahaman “pelampau”.

Qatar bagaimanapun dengan tegas menafikan dakwaan itu, lapor laman Aljazeera.

Dalam kenyataannya, pemerintah Qatar menyatakan ia sudah lama menerajui negara-negara di rantau itu dalam menentang “pengganasan”, termasuk memberi golongan muda harapan menerusi pekerjaan, mendidik ratusan ribu pelarian Syria dan membiayai program-program masyarakat untuk mencabar agenda kumpulan-kumpulan bersenjata, lapor Aljazeera.

“Pendirian kami dalam menentang pengganasan lebih kuat berbanding mana-mana penandatangan kenyataan bersama – satu fakta yang dengan mudah tidak diendahkan,” menurut pemerintah Qatar.

Abdul Rahman Mohamed: Kita Wajib Menentang Semua Jenis Keganasan

Semua Kita Wajib Bangkit Menentang Keganasan!
Keganasan Tiada Agama jauh sekali hendak dikaitkan dengan Agama Islam.

Tapi…………

Bukan hanya keganasan yg berlaku di negara2 Barat sahaja yg kita perlu Terasa dan Berperasaan terhadap mangsa keganasan.

Kenapa setiap kali apabila keganasan berlaku ke atas negara2 Barat, kita lihat akhbar2 tempatan kita memberi liputan yg luas dan para pemimpin masyarakat tidak ketinggalan tokoh2 agama bangkit bagaikan wira menyuarakan tantangan terhadap keganasan yg berlaku.

Saban hari ramai juga orang2 Islam yg menjadi mangsa keganasan, namun mana suara2 lantang para pemimpin kita dan liputan besar2an media kita?

Adakah harga darah orang Barat lebih mahal harganya berbanding yg lain?

Sikap double standard ( Hypocrite) sedemikian telah menyebab masyarakat umum menjadi muak dan benci utk berbicara tentang pengganasan yg selalu kelihatan Berat Sebelah.

Sekali lagi saya tegaskan, Kita semua Wajib Bangkit Menentang Keganasan dan Membasminya dari semua peringkat.

Khan Osman Sulaiman: Why Do People Claim Themselves Malay Only When There’s Something To Gain From It?

The Malays take all the negative stereotyping people throw at them.

The Indian Muslims, Arabs, Javanese, Boyanese, Ceylonese will quickly distance themselves when asked whether are they Malays.

But when there are privileges on hand, everyone wants to be a Malay. Case in hand is the presidential election where it is reserved for Malay candidates.

Now all of the above mentioned ethnic groups will consider themselves as Malays or ‘representing’ the Malays if qualified to contest the election. Other than that, these people will proudly proclaim ‘Im not a Malay.’

Nice right?
