  • Zulfikar Shariff: Islam Is The Answer To Social Ills That Beset The Muslim Community Here

    Zulfikar Shariff: Islam Is The Answer To Social Ills That Beset The Muslim Community Here

    It is so predictable.

    Whenever Muslims discuss discrimination in Singapore, whether hijab, SAF, leadership, madrasah etc, the government and its tools will tell us…

    Focus on drugs, on high rate of divorce and other social problems that Muslims are involved in.

    We will always be told not to spend our energy and efforts discussing and overcoming discrimination. Instead, we are told, either by the PAP (whether the Prime Minister of the Malay MPs) or its supporters that there are more important issues to work on.

    Sure, drugs, divorce etc are important social issues. But working on one does not mean we should exclude working on another.

    But what PAP supporters tend to ignore (whether intentional or unintentionally) is that these issues are interrelated.

    First, as I have discussed before, drug, divorce and economic disempowerment are systemic problems. Part of the problems can be traced to the PAP’s policies from the 1960s onwards.

    Second, and more importantly is that the solution to these social problems are found in the same place that drives us to work on the hijab, the madrasah and Muslim community leadership.

    The ban on hijab, the attempt to shut down madrasah and the denial of an independent Muslim community leadership are based on political and religious imperatives.

    The attempt to remove Islam from the Muslim community as can be seen in these discriminatory policies are also at the root of these social problems.

    What the Muslim community need is not less Islam. We need more.

    A community that is dedicated and committed to their Islam will not be involved in drugs.

    They will not create social problems.

    They will not misuse or abuse the amanah and talent that have been granted to them.

    A community that is dedicated to Allah will excel. Not because they want to be rich or have power.

    But so that they can better serve Allah azzawajal.

    A community that lives in Islam will be strong not for strength sake…

    But so they can help the ummah.

    The solution to our social problems does not lie in programs that negate Islam from our lives.

    The solution lies with Islam.

    And that is also why we defend our sisters who wear the hijab.

  • Halal Slaughter Is Most Humane Way, Education, Not Banning, The Way Forward.

    Halal Slaughter Is Most Humane Way, Education, Not Banning, The Way Forward.

    Hi Nicole,

    Just to help re-enforce some of the points made here ;-

    I went to an Abbatoire in Turkey last year & took our kids (1 & 4 at the time), where they slaughtered 10,000 Qurb’an. Each one is done by hand.

    To explain the pillars for the slaughter to be halal (permissible by God) are a) the person performing the slaughter must be Muslim b) he must pronounce the name of Allah c) he / she must use a very sharp instrument to cut the jugular in one swift cut, severing the jugular, windpipe / oesophagus.

    When I watched the man performing the slaughter was constantly sharpening his blade on a slather around his waist. This ensured his instrument was razor sharp the whole time. He was extremely expert whipping around like a dervish, slaughtering at least 3-5 animals (sheep in this case) in a matter of seconds.

    The animals is very unlikely to feel any pain, as the instrument is so sharp that by going straight through the neck & oesophagus it cuts off the oxygen to the brain and the animal passes out within seconds. A German scientist did a study comparing the Halal way of slaughter versus the stunning & other methods & he concluded the Halal method is far superior as the brain patterns show it is like the animal is falling asleep. The animals come out individually from a segregated enclosure & they are really not intelligent enough to figure out what is going on in that space of time.

    Slaughter in this method is compulsory as the heart then pumps out all the blood & it is compulsory to drain out all the blood from the animal (they are hung up). There is a lot of science to back all this ancient wisdom up & it is to do with health reasons, as the blood can contain harmful bacteria.

    The Western media in some cases may make it look like some sort of bloody occult ritual, as if people go to Makkah to bathe in the blood of camels & delight in the killing. They do have a habit of sensationalism, sometimes even turning things upside down to the confusion of the reader.

    Halal slaughter is the most humane way to kill an animal. Whereas MNC animal slaughter has many cases where it is grossly inhumane & simply cruel in the extreme.

    Part of Islamic teaching is to observe the act of halal slaughter, I have volunteered a number of times at the Mosque. It is very moving. On a smaller scale (80-100 sheep) a few of us will hold and stroke the animals to keep them calm. No animal likes to be manhandled, but it doesn’t mean they are in fear of being killed – they do not have awareness of this as they are segregated. When we witness the slaughter process we are less likely to take the steak & food we get served up on a plate for granted. It puts us in a higher state of gratitude. I encourage my children to see it and explain to them what it is about.

    The Western MNC slaughterhouses are often really inhumane. The animals are backed up & stunned. They are in such shock & pain that the animals behind go into a state of fear & adrenalin is pumped through the body of the animal which hardens the meat. You can taste the difference with halal meat.

    As a consequence of all this negative publicity animal rights movements have prevented people from being able witness this sacred ritual in Singapore, which is a great education for kids. In Singapore now for the past 4 years they have had to totally screen everything off, no observation points! How will kids learn to appreciate all this food they devour & take for granted? Isn’t it better they grow up to appreciate that an animal sacrificed it’s life so we can eat? In Singapore you never even get to see a cow or a sheep!

    So as is often the case media critics have it wrong. The meat is distributed to the poor and needy as an act of alms giving. The act of slaughter is to represent the slaughtering of the ego.

    I hope you will accept the invitation to come to Al Kaff Mosque, (next to where I live too) & we will be very happy to share more with you / answer all your concerns.

    A last point is these animals are actually in submission. I can show you videos where animals will literally lie down and place their necks to be slaughtered. This is an act of obedience to God.

    Have a blessed day.

  • ‘MRT Abang’ Who Stood Up To Bully Among Top 30 Manhunt Contestant

    ‘MRT Abang’ Who Stood Up To Bully Among Top 30 Manhunt Contestant

    Part-time parking attendant

    From starring in viral video to acting on Suria

    It was an MRT ride that thrust Hanafie into the spotlight.

    In July, he was on the North-South line, between Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio stations, when he saw a middle-aged commuter verbally abusing a teenager whose T-shirt he had taken issue with.

    The Caucasian commuter was much bigger than the teen, so Hanafie stepped in to defuse the situation.

    The incident was filmed and posted to social media where thousands saw it.

    Many praised Hanafie for confronting a bully verbally abusing a teenager on the train.

    Originally known to the public as Elfy, he soon gained a different name: Abang (Malay for brother) MRT.

    One comment described him as “Singapore’s superhero”.

    Even Law Minister K. Shanmugam said the young man’s actions swelled him with pride.

    He said of the video: “I have always believed that we should stand up for people who are being bullied or mistreated because otherwise, a lot of people will get away with misconduct and they will think it is okay to misbehave.”

    Despite his noble actions, life threw some bumps for Hanafie to overcome.

    He told The New Paper: “Shortly after the video went viral and people started calling me a hero, it made me feel good.

    “But something bad also happened. I lost my job.”

    Hanafie was working as a bellboy at a hotel.

    “That was very difficult for me because I was supporting my entire family,” he added.

    Hanafie, who is supporting his father, stepmother and brother, said the loss of income was a blow.

    But fate has a way of working out.

    The Manhunt organisers had also seen the video.

    They felt he had the right looks and attitude for this year’s pageant, so they tracked him down on Facebook to offer him a spot among the 30 hopefuls.

    But the true icing on the cake only came this week.

    Hanafie’s life-long ambition of becoming an actor became reality when he was cast in an upcoming drama on Suria.

    Not much is known about the yet-to-be-named drama – only that it will be broadcast early next year.

    This means he can look forward to providing for his family again.

    Hanafie said: “I feel like everything happened so fast.

    “One moment, I lost my job and the next, I’ve been cast in a drama. It is a dream come true.”As for the incident that made him famous, Hanafie has some unfinished business.

    “I thought when the videos of me went viral, the young man whom I stood up for would contact me but he didn’t,” he said.

    “My only wish now is to meet him to find out how he is doing.

    “I hope I made a positive impact on his life.”

  • 27-Month Probation For 21 Year Old Man Who Molested Two 14 Year Old Boys

    27-Month Probation For 21 Year Old Man Who Molested Two 14 Year Old Boys

    A 21-year-old man was on Friday (Sep 25) sentenced to undergo 27 months of probation for using criminal force to outrage the modesty of two secondary school boys in February last year.

    Aloysius Goh Jun Yuan had outraged the modesty of the 14-year-old boys by grabbing the boys’ groins on separate occasions.

    The incidents took place at Tanah Merah MRT station.

    The first victim was molested twice in the span of about two weeks. He lodged a police report after the second incident, and was able to identify Goh through photographs.

    The second victim, who is also friends and schoolmates with the first victim, was similarly molested by Goh. The boy managed to grab Goh’s arm immediately after he had molested him, and questioned him as to why he had done so. Goh did not respond, and walked away.

    After telling his teacher and parents about the incident, the second victim’s mother lodged a police report. The victim was also able to identify Goh through photographs.

    In coming to an agreement with Goh’s lawyer Kalidass Murugaiyan, the prosecution said they would not object to Goh undergoing a “vigorous programme” of probation. Channel NewsAsia understands that Goh already stays at Teen Challenge (Singapore), a centre for youth-at-risk, where he is closely supervised.

    District Judge Lim Keng Yeow told Goh that ordinarily, the nature of offences he had committed “should result in imprisonment”, and that probation is “an unusual sentence that will be meted out”.

    In sentencing Goh to probation, Judge Lim noted that Goh had a lack of familial support and that a more structured environment would do him good. “I expect that you will comply with orders (of your probation officer) and receive treatment”, Judge Lim told Goh.

    On probation, Goh will have to abide by a curfew, perform 180 hours of community service, be treated by a psychiatrist and is not allowed to possess or use any mobile device capable of downloading or running third-party applications.

    His mother agreed to a S$5,000 bond to ensure her son’s good behaviour.

    For using criminal force to outrage the modesty of a victim, Goh could have faced up to two years in jail, a fine, and caning.
