    Religion Problem Should Be Settled By Religious Bodies: MUIS Can Do It

    Assalamualaikum,

    Because of a video footage that was shared around Facebook, an imam at Masjid Jamae and Khairudin Aljunied become involved in a police investigation. The imam was alleged to have promoted ill will or violence against the Jews and Christians in our country. And Mr Khairudin is being investigated for encouraging vilification. All because of one busybody who take video and spread around, a small matter that can be peacefully resolved jadi besar. Since the thing already happened, our Muslim community have to look forward and work together to settle the problem.

    But how can a religion problem be investigated by police or secular body? It was a good thing that some MPs suggested that MUIS and PERGAS help in the case and assist along the police. Isn’t this a problem in the muslim community, so we muslims people should have a say and right to the way the matter is settled. Right?

    As for the imam, clearly something is wrong until someone decide to take a video of his sermon. But what the Imam say is from the Quran. We cannot challenge what is written and said in the Quran. MUIS should look into it as nowadays mosque sermons is handled by them, so MUIS is relevant in the investigation.

    It is not saying without MUIS we cannot have racial harmony or peace with other religion. Let me esplain, the case is posted on the internet meaning everyone can reply to this. But until today, did anybody comment help to slow down tension and settle the problem? Saya rasa tidak kan. Thats why we need MUIS assistance to coordinate and help make all our voices become one.

    I might not know much but I hope that this religion issue can be settled by our own muslim community and not involve others or government. It is a small issue, it can be solved. Banyak masalah akan timbul jikalau terlalu banyak tangan terlibat.

    Terima kasih dan salam sejahtera.

    MUIS Should Be More Proactive In Providing Guidelines On Sale Of Products Manufactured Using Pig Derivatives

    In Malaysia, when Muslims complain about pig hair paintbrush the government take action. Muslim consumers are protected.

    Singapore how?

    Here also you can find such pig-hair brush. Got shoes with pig-lining, wallet…..

    Muis got advice? Can we touch or not. If cannot touch then Muis should advice sellers to warn consumers appropriately because some of the signs you cannot see until you already touch the shoe or what not

  • MUIS Clarifies McDonald’s Statement On Halal-Only Birthday Cakes

    MUIS Clarifies McDonald’s Statement On Halal-Only Birthday Cakes

    The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has clarified that it adopts “a flexible approach” for the consumption of outside food in halal-certified restaurants, after McDonald’s Singapore said that only halal cakes are allowed on its premises.

    In a media statement on Tuesday (Jan 10), MUIS said that in certain cases, such as with birthday cakes and baby food, customers can consume them at halal-certified restaurants.

    MUIS explained that food establishments with the halal certification “may exercise some discretion in such cases” as long as the following conditions are met:

    – There is no cross-contamination and the item is not brought into the kitchen/food preparation area/storage facilities

    – Only disposable cutlery is used

    – The food item is consumed and any remnants bagged and disposed of immediately

    The fast food chain had said last week that the rule on birthday cakes was implemented in 1992 when all McDonald’s restaurants in Singapore received halal certification from MUIS.

    “We need to adhere strictly to MUIS regulations to ensure the food we serve is halal and suitable for consumption for our Muslim friends,” the director of government relations and communications of McDonald’s Singapore, Faz Hussen, told Channel NewsAsia. “These include regulations on preparing our food, storing our ingredients and ensuring the food we serve is not mixed with non-halal food.”

    MUIS said on Tuesday that while it appreciates McDonald’s Singapore’s approach in only allowing halal-certified birthday cakes, the fast-food chain had not consulted it when it made the statement last week.

    MUIS added that it has since been in touch with McDonald’s.

  • Ismail Kassim: MUIS Must Revamp Thinking Of Islam And How It Should Be Practised

    Ismail Kassim: MUIS Must Revamp Thinking Of Islam And How It Should Be Practised

    I agree with you Jon.

    jon-terry

    Getting rid of unqualified and extremist teachers solves only half the problem.

    I think MUIS have to revamp their thinking and understanding of what Islam is and how it should be practised.

    Will the emphasis continues to focus on the rituals and the dos and don’ts?

    Or should it be on the spirit of Islam and its values which are universal in nature.

    For real change to take place in the mindset of Muslims, the pedantic approach with its emphasis on salvation for the next world has to be thrown out
