  • Stop Telling Muslim Women to Have Children

    Stop Telling Muslim Women to Have Children

    I just like to advise the public especially fellow Muslims that people should stop telling us women to have kids. I for one have decided on this a long time ago.

    The endless cycle of family members, relatives, long-distance aunties and uncles, masjid aunties and even strangers asking mede me feel as though i am obligated to produce an offspring for them to look at and adore, as if they invested money in me and waiting for their returns. I tell you i am going to explode anytime soon and it just make me so frustrated. Honestly i am tired of saying InsyaAllah just to please them, when i actually dont even want to settle down and have kids.

    I dont hate men or any Malay man. I dont dislike children too. But i hate the fact that people’s mindset of women it for that very purpose.

    So now i fight my case and hope these reasons will give confidence to other women facing the same dilemma and give them the confidence they need.

    1. You don’t need any reason to not have children.
    2. No one has the right to dictate whether or not you reproduce. Simply put, no obligation to give your parents grandchildren.

    Lastly, please stop asking such question like “Don’t you feel incomplete? Like something is missing?” or “Adik tak sunyi ke?” or “I will pray for you to get married and have children.” or “Adik tidak memenuhi pegangan Islam adik” because this is what i want, that’s why.

  • Muslims Nowadays Easily Swayed By Liberal Thinking Due To Various Reasons

    Muslims Nowadays Easily Swayed By Liberal Thinking Due To Various Reasons

    Ramai orang yang saya kenal di masa mudanya merupakan seorang salafi dan Islamis, tetapi di masa tua ia menjadi modenis dan liberal. Ada dua kemungkinan mengapa hal ini berlaku:

    Pertama, ia menjadi salafi/Islamis semata-mata kerana pengaruh persekitaran dan sebenarnya tidak yakin dengan apa yang diwacanakan. Kedua, ia faham dan yakin dengan wacana tersebut tetapi tuntutan zaman merubah fikirannya untuk lebih pragmatik dan mementingkan survival diri. Dalam kedua-dua situasi ini ia gagal memiliki kerangka berfikir yang teguh dan mantap yang diinginkan oleh Islam.

    Hal ini menunjukkan begitu besar pengaruh dan mudahnya merebak pemikiran liberal kepada masyarakat Muslim. Di sinilah pentingnya kita mempersiapkan diri dengan pandangan alam (worldview) Islam supaya kita dapat memelihara diri kita daripada terpengaruh dengan pandangan alam yang boleh merosakkan Aqidah dan jati diri kita.

  • Western Control Of Muslims Is Over

    Western Control Of Muslims Is Over

    DURING the Christmas and New Year celebrations, most Western nations were placed on high alert for terrorist activities.
    Only a decade or two ago, these nations celebrated the year-end festivities peacefully.
    Why has this change occurred?
    To understand, one has to refer to conflicts in North Africa and the Middle East.
    That Muslims are fighting back against aggressors was evident from the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, which was followed by al-Qaeda’s Sept 11 attacks in the United States.
    The West is learning a painful lesson that the days of passive Muslim resistance are over and that they can take on the West.
    The urge in the West to subjugate Muslim nations has stirred up in Muslims their right to defend their religion.
    This has spawned militant groups, the deadliest being the Islamic State terrorist group.
    The IS ideology of setting up a caliphate —a super state ranging from Northern Africa to the Middle East — has found favour with many Muslims, who view that the fragmented Islamic world has triggered Western intervention and that the best weapon is unity with a syariah system in place.
    To Muslims, the caliphate of old is reminiscent of the golden age of Islam, when Muslims were in the forefront.
    IS points out the cause of Islamic decline and that the only way to stop Western interference and dominance is for Islamic countries to unite under a caliphate with syariah as the national law. More than any other religion, Islam has a unique set of laws and is considered a way of life for Muslims.
    Islamic law is second to none in its simplicity, complexity and sense of justice. Hence, Muslim nations have no need for Western ideologies, which are at odds with syariah.
    This concept is opposed by the West, which profits from its divideand-rule policy used against Muslims.
    The West needs to stop its interference via regime change. Left to themselves, Muslim nations will stabilise and adopt a system that works for them and their religion.
    Leave Muslim countries alone and there will be peace in the world, especially in Western capitals.
    The West can offer socio-economic aid as well as humanitarian assistance to Muslim nations but must refrain from interference and domination.
    The age of subjugation is long gone.

    “Sepatutnya ibu ikat anak ibu. Biarlah apa orang nak cakap,” luah Siti Sarah setelah anaknya hilang

    KUALA LUMPUR: Penyanyi kecil molek, Siti Sarah Raissuddin akui salah dirinya sendiri setelah melalui detik cemas kehilangan anak perempuan beliau di sebuah pusat beli-belah.

    Menceritakan insiden yang berlaku semalam (4 Jan) di laman Instagram beliau, Sarah berkata ia satu pengajaran buat dirinya.

    Anak perempuan beliau, Zakira Talita Zahra, hilang di sebuah kompleks beli-belah di Kuala Lumpur dan ia hanya mengambil masa lima saat untuk terjadi.

    Menerusi laman Instagram, Sarah meluahkan isi hatinya yang berbunyi:

    “Cinta hati ibu. Semalam satu pengajaran dalam hidup saya. Zakira Talita Zahra hilang di sebuah kompleks membeli belah di Kuala Lumpur. Ia hanya perlukan lima saat untuk terjadi.

    “Salah ibu ya, saya akui, patutnya ibu ikat anak ibu. Biarlah apa orang nak cakap. Nak kata ikat kucing ke, ikat …… ke, janji anak ibu tak hilang.

    “Bila saya tanya Talita cakap, ‘Talita ikut orang baik’. Walaupun sebelum ni puas saya ingatkan anak-anak supaya jangan ikut orang yang tidak dikenali, tapi mereka hanyalah anak kecil.

    “Siapalah saya untuk beri peringatan, tapi bermula dari kes inilah saya akan mengikat anak saya tanpa saya peduli apa orang nak kata.

    “Janji anak-anak saya selamat. Kalau ada yang jual ‘harnes’s tu tolong beritahu di sini. Terima kasih kepada Puan Aisyah kakitangan monorel yang menjaga Talita.”

    Abang You’re Driving To Earn Money, You Need It More Than I Do

    Let me share a very warm story…. It’s gonna be long so bear with me…

    Myself, wifey and my daughter went to causeway point just now to run some important errands after i send my daughter for her ‘sunat’ or circumcision just now… as it was about to rain we decided to take uber home…

    So we booked a ride and along came Mr Faisal as our uber driver… Beginning part of the ride we didn’t converse that much cause perhaps we haven’t warmed up yet.. Halfway through he asked about my daughter and we hit it up straight away. As his wife is also pregnant he asked me for my wife’s grandma number so that he can engaged the post natal massages with her… So he said msg me the number thru the uber app..

    Upon reaching my destination, it was raining and he helped us by getting the umbrella and escorting us to void deck and to make sure everything was ok… Then we shaked hands to bid goodbye… To my surprise he handed me some cash and said it was for the baby. I politely decline and said, ‘Abang your driving to earn money… u need more than i do’… but he was persistant enough till i had to give in and accepted his nice gesture…

    Dear Mr Faizal, i pray to Allah that you will be showered with abundance of wealth and health for you and your family… You really made The Ubhai’s day today…

    Ps: if anyone knows this Mr Faizal, do pass me his number as my message didnt went thru uber app..
