    Recep Erdogan: Perancangan Keluarga Tidak Sesuai Untuk Keluarga Islam

    ISTANBUL: Presiden Turki, Recep Tayyip Erdogan berkata perancangan keluarga dan pencegahan kehamilan tidak sesuai untuk keluarga-keluarga Islam.

    Komen-komen Encik Erdogan, yang bertujuan menggalak pertumbuhan penduduk di Turki, membangkitkan kemarahan para aktivis wanita.

    Encik Erdogan berkata adalah tanggungjawab para ibu untuk memastikan penduduk Turki terus bertambah. Jumlah penduduk negara itu meningkat pada kadar sekitar 1.3 peratus sejak beberapa tahun lalu.

    “Saya akan katakannya dengan jelas.. Kita perlu meningkatkan bilangan keturunan kita,” kata beliau dalam ucapannya di Istanbul.

    “Orang ramai bercakap tentang kawalan kelahiran, tentang perancangan keluarga. Tidak ada keluarga Islam yang boleh memahami dan menerimanya!

    “Seperti firman Tuhan dan sabda Nabi Muhammad, kami akan mengikuti cara ini. Dan berhubungan hal ini, tugas pertama perlu dipikul kaum ibu,” tambahnya.

    Encik Erdogan dan isterinya, Ermine mempunyai dua anak lelaki dan dua anak perempuan. Awal bulan ini, presiden Turki itu menghadiri majlis perkahwinan berprofil tinggi anak perempuannya, Sumeyye dengan usahawan pertahanan, Selcuk Bayraktar.

    Anak perempuan sulungnya, Esra, yang berkahwin dengan Menteri Tenaga, Berat Albayrak, mempunyai tiga anak.

    Kumpulan Wadah untuk Hentikan Keganasan Terhadap Wanita, yang menjalankan kempen untuk menghentikan pembunuhan ratusan wanita setiap tahun, mengecam komen-komen Encik Erdogan dan menyifatkannya sebagai mencabuli hak asasi wanita.

    “Anda (Erdogan) tidak boleh merampas hak kami bagi pencegahan kehamilan, mahupun hak-hak kami yang lain dengan pengisytiharan anda yang datang dari Zaman Pertengahan. Kami akan melindungi hak asasi kami,” menurut kumpulan itu dalam kenyataan di Twitternya.

    Encik Erdogan seringkali menjengkelkan para penyokong gerakan kewanitaan dan aktivis wanita, dengan komen-komennya tentang seks dan perancangan keluarga.

    Dalam ucapannya bagi menandakan Hari Antarabangsa Wanita tahun ini, beliau berkata, beliau percaya bahawa “seorang wanita itu, lebih daripada perkara lain, adalah seorang ibu”.

    Pada 2014, Encik Erdogan menyifatkan kawalan kelahiran sebagai “penderhakaan” yang berisiko membantutkan seluruh generasi.

    Beliau juga pernah menggesa para ibu untuk mempunyai empat anak, dan berkata: “Seorang anak bermaksud kesepian, dua bermaksud persaingan, tiga maknanya keseimbangan dan empat bermaksud melimpah-ruah.”

  • Muslimah: Hijabis Should Stop Thinking They Are Superior To Minahs

    Muslimah: Hijabis Should Stop Thinking They Are Superior To Minahs

    I once knew a Muslim girl who loved wearing short skirts, the shortest shorts possible and tank tops. She used to go dancing at discos with her boyfriend(s). Go out late at night.

    I vividly remember one day, I saw her wearing the skimpiest of clothes, and thought to myself – Ya Allah, whats wrong with this girl? Why does she dress like that??

    I judged her. At the time, I felt superior to her because I was covered. I didn’t say anything to her about it. I sort of stayed away from her. Didnt want to get ‘infected’. Syaitan had played a trick on me. He tricked me into thinking I was better because I went to halaqah, mixed with the ‘good’ kids, went to Islamic talks. My headscarf covered my chest and I didn’t wear revealing clothes.

    A few years after that, I met her again, she had already started wearing a proper hijab and modest clothing. She had started going to Quranic classes as well. I was shocked, but happy for her. She told me she felt like a newborn. Like she was given a second chance to do things right.

    Recently I met her again, this time she was wearing a niqab. I didn’t recognise her! She had changed so much. She held my hands and told me that I had somewhat ‘helped’ her to be better. That she read my fb posts and sometimes felt like I was talking to her.

    All I felt was shame. She didn’t know that I judged her once upon a time. That I looked at her and had negative thoughts. That I didn’t say a sincere prayer for her to be a better Muslim.

    We both had tears in our eyes. Hers was probably due to happiness and Iman.. mine was pure shame and guilt and fear.

    Allah sent her to me to teach me a lesson. Astaghfirullah is all I can say.

    Sharing this so it can be a lesson to all of us. A reminder for me. A slap in the face.

    Never ever judge someone. It’s not our place to do that. We should only pray that Allah gives Hidayah to them. And that He continues to keep our hearts in line towards Him.

  • Despite Obstacles And Hardships, I Finally Graduated From Medical School

    Despite Obstacles And Hardships, I Finally Graduated From Medical School

    Alhamdulillah. I have finally graduated from medical school. Finally. 5 years which felt like forever. 5 years of blood, sweat and tears (Yes. all, literal).

    Tears that came out when I found out that I passed were tears of relief more than happiness. Like finding an oasis in a desert, that kind of feeling? Rather than a story of success, mine is actually a story of one failure after another and how Allah helps me and sends people into my life to help me overcome my failures.

    5 years ago, I was contemplating whether I should give up on my dream of becoming a doctor because the fees were too expensive. But I applied anyway after deciding that I shouldn’t deny myself an education just because of family circumstances. Nobody should. I didn’t qualify for any form of help from Mendaki so I applied to a lot of scholarship bodies and went for one interview after another. Being rejected by Mendaki was probably my biggest blessing in disguise because I wouldn’t have found the OCBC bond-free scholarship which covers some of my fees and allowance. Thank you so much OCBC Scholarship committee. Thanks to you, I was able to travel for study and for leisure, to places such as Brunei, Turkey, Korea, Japan and perform my Umrah. Some kind strangers who heard my story even contacted me and reached out to me and some wrote in to newspaper forums. May Allah reward all of you.

    To my family, I’m sorry I took so long to graduate, but I did it now. I will always remember how my uncles and aunts took us in when we had no place to stay. Will I ever get to repay such kindness? And who says my family is incomplete? They are enough for me.

    To my friends who listened to all my frustrations and my worries, I wish I was a better friend to all of you. Sometimes when I get too caught up in school/hospital, I forgot to ask how you ladies have been doing with your lives. Thank you for praying for me and encouraging me to persevere. You all know who you are. I love all of you.

    To all the patients I’ve met, the makciks, pakciks, uncles and aunties, young and old that has cheered me on and even raised their hands to make du’a for me, thank you for reminding me why I chose this profession. To everybody else who has motivated me in one way or another, thank you.

    And lastly, to my mother Jamalia Shariff who is my biggest fan and kept all these newspaper articles from long ago, thank you…for everything. All these years that was painful for me must have been more difficult for you. I am especially sorry to you that you had to wait for so long for me to graduate. Ever since you became a single parent when I was 12, I’ve learnt to be independent with the intention of not wanting to burden you. But I didn’t realise that my independence is at times a source of worry for you, especially being the youngest and the only girl in the family. But it seems like I got my strength from you, right? I will be better in the future, InsyaAllah. Today, you turn a year older, so my graduation is my birthday present to you. Happy Birthday and I pray that Allah bless you with a long and healthy life. Ameen. Terima Kasih Mak. Selamat Hari Jadi. Sayang Mak.

    During my Medicine admission interview, my interviewers asked, “You’ve led such a hard life, if we accept you into Medicine, are you sure you can endure more years of hardships?”. So I said, “Precisely because I’ve had a hard life, which is why I think I’ll be able to endure what is to come. And I’m not going to go through it alone because I have so many people behind me.” And that was exactly what medical school was; hard. But when I fall, Allah brings me back up. He taught me humility through my failures. And I know that things will get tougher when I start working in one month’s time (you can look for me in CGH), but I have so many people counting on me that I have to keep going. I want to be the kind of doctor that everyone wants me to be. InsyaAllah. Please make du’a for me.

  • Malaysian Court Orders Return Of Allah CDs To Sarawakian Christian

    Malaysian Court Orders Return Of Allah CDs To Sarawakian Christian

    PUTRAJAYA, June 23 ― The Court of Appeal today ordered the Home Ministry to return the eight compact discs containing the word “Allah” to Jill Ireland Lawrence Bill within a month, chalking a win for the Sarawakian Christian after a seven-year legal battle.

    “Consequent to our order in affirming relief, we will grant application by applicant that the publication be released within one month,” Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, the judge heading the Court of Appeal’s three-man panel, said.

    The other judges are Datuk Seri Zakaria Sam and Datuk Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim.

    Jill Ireland’s lawyer Lim Heng Seng later confirmed, however, that the government can still apply for a stay of the order to release the CDs.

    But Lim said any application for a stay will be contested.

    “They can always apply on the grounds they are asking for leave to appeal to the Federal Court and the court will decide whether there are special circumstances to deny Jill Ireland the right to use her CDs.

    “She has been denied long enough, since 2008. So it will be contested if they ask for stay. Jill Ireland should be allowed to have her CDs,” he told reporters after the court’s decision, adding that the Melanau native from Sarawak needed the Christian materials for her personal study.

    Government lawyer Shamsul Bolhassan confirmed that he will have to wait for instructions on whether to file an appeal.

    Rev Dr Justin Wan, the president of SIB Sarawak, expressed hope that the case will finally be settled when the CDs are returned to church member Jill Ireland.

    “We will go another round until they complete (it),” he said when asked about the possibility of the government filing an appeal at the Federal Court and again withholding the CDs.

    The government had previously applied to keep the CDs despite a High Court defeat and pending the outcome of the appeal today.

    On May 11, 2008, the Home Ministry confiscated eight CDs bearing the word “Allah” from Jill Ireland at the Sepang airport upon her return from Indonesia, prompting her to file for judicial review in August the same year against the Home Minister and government of Malaysia.

    Last July 21, High Court judge Datuk Zaleha Yusof ruled that the Home Ministry was wrong to detain the CDs based on a point of law, also ordering the government to return the CDs and pay RM5,000 in legal costs.

    But the Home Ministry appealed on July 22 against the ruling, while Jill Ireland filed an appeal on August 18 as the High Court did not address constitutional issues that were raised in her judicial review application.

    Jill Ireland had sought declarations that it is her constitutional right to import publications in the practice of Christianity and that she is entitled to use the word “Allah”, among other matters.

  • Mohd Khair: Homosexuality Has Never Been Part Of Human Nature

    Mohd Khair: Homosexuality Has Never Been Part Of Human Nature

    Words pertaining to human lives have specific and special meaning.

    Eat: chewing and swallowing non-liquid EDIBLE stuff
    Drink: sipping and swallowing liquid EDIBLE stuff

    Normal human beings don’t use their mouths to chew and swallow inedible stuff like stones, wood, plastic and all other inedible stuff. We don’t call this act as eating. I don’t know what to call it because human beings don’t eat stones, woods and plastic to live. If they do, probably ravage would be a word that can be considered and definitely that act cannot be said to be an act of eating.

    Likewise, normal human beings don’t use their mouths to sip petrol, diesel, acids and all other inedible liquids, including poisons unless they are committing suicide.

    Likewise for marriage.

    Marriage is a word to describe a union, officiated by an appointed authority, between a man and a woman. A union between a man and a man, or between a woman and another woman, cannot be called marriage.

    The human anatomy itself has been created, and has been there since time immemorial to support one of the objects of marriage, and that is to procreate to ensure preservation of the human race. The sexual organs of both males and females play complementing and completing roles in procreation. This is a scientific fact, and not an opinion.

    For those who believe in the theory of evolution, probably some pertinent questions to ask would be these:
    If indeed homosexuality has been part of human living,
    1. “how come the anus has not evolved into an organ that can readily receive the insertion of the penis with ease, without any ill effects as currently reported by the medical fraternity?”
    2. “how come the female genitals have not evolved to include a penile-like organ?”

    Isn’t it so clear as day and night that even the theory of evolution cannot be applied to homosexuality. The human body has not adapted itself to include homosexual behaviour.

    Simply put, homosexuality, LGBTQ whatever included, has never been an acceptable lifestyle choice. It’s a behaviour chosen by those who simply want to defy nature – what men and women are supposed to do to love, marry, procreate and prosper on Earth.

    There has been no civilisation in recorded history that made homosexuality mainstream except those that were met with destruction.
    Homosexuality is a just a lifestyle choice. It is a chosen behaviour. It is not part of human nature.

    Human beings eat and drink edible stuff to live and prosper. No human being in the right frame of mind will take inedible stuff as his or her diet. The consequences are as clear as day and night.

    Likewise, marriage among humans means an official union between a man and a woman to ensure the continuity of the human race. It is as clear as day and night what the consequences will be when the institution of marriage is skewed way out of proportion to also include same-gender union. Even an unofficial union between a man and a woman is NOT called marriage. One way, it’s called cohabitation. But the LGBTs, unabashed, called their union marriage…isn’t that shameful?
