    Payung Terbesar Dunia Di Masjidil Haram Sedang Dipasang

    MAKKAH: Kerja-kerja pemasangan payung lipat paling besar di dunia bermula pada hari Khamis lalu (10 Mac), di halaman bahagian utara Masjidil Haram.

    Ia merupakan yang pertama daripada lapan payung gergasi berteknologi tinggi dan 54 payung lebih kecil yang akan dipasang di Masjidil Haram dalam tempoh enam bulan akan datang.

    Laman Saudi Gazette yang melaporkan demikian menambah, payung itu dibuat di Jerman, dengan setiap payung dilengkapi jam yang besar, skrin yang memberi panduan kepada para jemaah, alat hawa dingin dan kamera pengawasan.

    Setiap payung setinggi 45 meter dan seberat 16 tan.

    Ia akan memayungi kawasan seluas 2,400 meter persegi apabila dibuka.

    Sekitar 25 jurutera, juruteknik khas dan para pakar keselamatan dari Jerman akan menyelia proses pemasangan dan mekanisme operasi elektronik.

    PAYUNGI 400,000 JEMAAH

    Lagi 54 payung yang bersaiz lebih kecil juga akan dipasang di halaman bahagian utara, memayungi kawasan seluas 19,200 meter persegi, lapor laman tersebut lagi.

    Sebagai sebahagian daripada projek itu, 122 bangku untuk para jemaah berehat serta bangunan khidmat akan dibina.

    Kerja-kerja prasarana bagi pemasangan payung-payung itu sudahpun bermula.

    Keseluruhan plaza di bahagian utara masjid bermula dari struktur Peluasan Raja Fahd hingga struktur Peluasan Raja Abdullah akan dilengkapi payung-payung tersebut apabila projek berkenaan siap.

    Kawasan-kawasan dengan tempat teduh itu akan dapat memuatkan sekitar 400,000 jemaah.

    Ketua Presiden bagi Ehwal Dua Masjid Suci menyelia projek itu, dengan kerjasama daripara pakar-pakar dari Kementerian Pendidikan dan syarikat kontrak, yang menjalankan projek peluasan terbesar tapak paling suci Islam.

    PAYUNG IDEA ALLAHYARHAM RAJA ABDULLAH

    Menurut Saudi Gazette, Raja Abdullah mengarahkan pemasangan payung-payung itu di halaman di sekeliling Masjidil Haram pada bulan Disember 2014, iaitu beberapa hari sebelum pemergiannya.

    Ketua Presiden Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, mengumumkan bahawa arahan raja itu dikeluarkan bagi menyediakan tempat berteduh di plaza-plaza luaran, sebagai tambahan kepada kawasan-kawasan yang diluluskan dalam projek Peluasan Raja Abdullah, dengan kawasan tambahan sekitar 275,000 meter persegi.

    Lebih 300 payung akan menyediakan tempat berteduh dari matahari untuk para jemaah Masjidil Haram, menurut beliau.

    Sebelum ini hampir 250 payung yang serupa sudah dipasang di plaza-plaza di sekitar Masjid Nabawi yang terletak di Madinah.

    ‘BUNGA-BUNGA’ CANGGIH

    Seperti bunga yang mengembang, setiap payung itu direka untuk lipat dan buka mengikut minit-minit yang ditetapkan supaya mengelak daripada berlanggar antara satu dengan yang lain, menurut laporan Saudi Gazette.

    Operasinya juga mengikut perubahan suhu harian.

    Payung-payung berkenaan dibuka setiap pagi dan ditutup dalam masa kurang tiga minit pada sebelah petang.

    Pada musim panas, payung-payung itu menyediakan teduhan daripada panas matahari.

    Apabila ditutup pada sebelah malam, ia membolehkan baki haba diserap ke lantai dan tembok untuk disalurkan semula ke atmosfera.

    Proses itu berbeza pada musim sejuk, apabila suhu lebih rendah, payung-payung itu tidak dibuka pada sebelah pagi untuk membolehkan matahari memanaskan kawasan tersebut dan dibuka pada sebelah malam untuk mengekalkan haba di bahagian lantai.

  • Egypt’s Justice Minister Sacked For Saying He Would Arrest Prophet Muhammad

    Egypt’s Justice Minister Sacked For Saying He Would Arrest Prophet Muhammad

    Egypt’s prime minister has sacked the justice minister, Ahmed al-Zind, after he was criticised for saying he would jail Islam’s prophet Muhammad himself if he broke the law.

    Zind’s comments came in a televised interview on Friday. Upon realising what he had said, Zind immediately stopped and said: “I ask for forgiveness from God.” He also issued an apology in another interview on Saturday, but to no avail.

    “Prime minister Sherif Ismail issued a decree today to relieve Ahmed al-Zind … of his position,” a government statement said, giving no more details.

    Zind, a former appeals court judge, had been publicly outspoken in his criticism of the Muslim Brotherhood removed from power by the army in mid-2013 and banned as a terrorist group.

    He has in the past denounced the 2011 revolt that ended Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year rule and ushered in the election that brought the Islamist movement to power. He has also been a strong defender of the judiciary and its powerful position.

    Egyptian judges issued a statement opposing Zind’s removal over what the head of the Judges Club told Reuters was a slip of the tongue that could have happened to anyone.

    “Egypt’s judges are sorry that someone who defended Egypt and its people, judiciary and nation in the face of the terrorist organisation that wanted to bring it down should be punished in this way,” said Abdallah Fathi.

    Egyptian courts have been absolving Mubarak-era officials, while imposing long sentences on liberal and Islamist activists.

    Egypt’s judiciary has faced criticism from rights groups in the past two years after judges issued mass death sentences against Muslim Brotherhood supporters, locking up youth activists and sentencing writers and journalists.

    Zind’s predecessor was also forced to resign last May after saying the son of a garbage collector was ineligible to serve as a judge.

    It was not immediately clear who would replace him.

  • MUIS, MBMF And Tranparency

    MUIS, MBMF And Tranparency

    The last few days, there have been some murmurings about MUIS’ decision to increase the amount that every Muslim contributes to the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund (MBMF).

    Beginning from 1st June, MBMF contributions will increase between $1-10.

    There are of course, several perspectives to this issue.

    First, MBMF helps the community to build masjid and run Mendaki activities.

    Mendaki also contributes a portion of the funds to other Muslim organisations it supports.

    Second, MBMF is a very efficient way to collect funds. Rather than wait for Muslims to send in their donations or organise standing orders to deduct part of their salary, MBMF reverses method. Muslims are assumed to agree to donate and only opt-out if they do not want to contribute. This ensures maximum contribution.

    However, while there is benefit to the system, there are certainly obvious flaws.

    The main flaws are centred on the lack of transparency and consultation.

    First, it removes the intention from the donor. The donor do not decide to contribute. The money is taken from him.

    That donors can opt-out does not negate the fact that those who remain may not necessarily intend to donate.

    or even if they agree, that decision was taken away from them from the beginning.

    Second, and more importantly, is the lack of transparency and consultation.

    While we can appreciate some of the work done by MUIS and Mendaki, there is still a lot of problems with regard to its institutional and functional designs.

    Both organisations’s finances are primarily supported by the Muslim community.

    Whether it is through MBMF, zakat harta, fitrah, waqf etc, the bulk of financial support comes from the Muslim community.

    And yet, they are not accountable to the community.

    When was the last time MUIS held a consultation session with the Muslim community to seek our input in their performance and actions?

    When did the Muslim community, the body that pays for MUIS and Mendaki’s main expenses, appoint the leaders of these two organisations?

    MUIS and Mendaki leaders are appointed by the government.

    They report to the government.

    But we pay their expenses.

    And when the government discriminate against Muslims, both organisations have taken the government’s position.

    And there have been quite a number of reports on how some Muslims in need were turned away by MUIS and Mendaki.

    We pay their expenses, support their programs and help them operate…but are not consulted.

    Instead, they reported to and are appointed by the government.

    And turn away some in need.

    Yes, Muslim organisations need support.

    But the support should come with accountability.

    And at times, it may be better to use the money that is deducted for MUIS and Mendaki to help those we know are truly in need.

  • JAKIM: Allah Hina Rakyat Yang Tidak Hormat Pemimpin

    JAKIM: Allah Hina Rakyat Yang Tidak Hormat Pemimpin

    KUALA LUMPUR, 11 Mac ― Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) mengingatkan umat Islam agar mentaati pemimpin kerana ia salah satu perintah Allah.

    Melalui khutbahnya hari ini, jabatan itu berkata pemimpin bukan sahaja mempunyai tanggungjawab terhadap rakyat tetapi pemimpin juga berhak mendapat keadilan daripada rakyatnya.

    “Sesiapa yang memuliakan dan menghormati pemerintah, maka Allah akan memuliakannya pada hari kiamat.

    “Manakala mereka yang tidak memuliakannya (pemimpin), maka Allah akan menghinanya pada hari kiamat kelak.

    “Perbuatan merendah-rendahkan pemimpin ibarat melepaskan tali kekang Islam dari lehernya,” teks khutbah bertajuk “Ujian Sebuah Kesetiaan” dipetik.

    Mimbar berkata larangan menghina pemimpin terdapat dalam hadis yang diriwayatkan Imam Ahmad daripada Abu Dzar.

    “Sesungguhnya akan muncul selepasku pemerintah, maka janganlah engkau menghinanya, sesiapa yang ingin menghinanya, maka sesungguhnya dia telah melepaskan tali kekang Islam dari lehernya,” mafhum hadis seperti dipetik dalam teks khutbah.

    Khutbah hari ini turut mengingatkan bahawa mentaati penguasa atau pemerintah umat Islam menjadi salah satu prinsip dalam iktikad Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah.

    Teks itu menyebut umat Islam wajib memahami tanggungjawab dan menghormati pemimpin, bahkan menyokong apa yang telah dirancang.

    “Rakyat wajib taat kepada pemerintah dan negara. Jika mereka cuai dan tidak bertanggungjawab, maka mereka tidak beradab di sisi Allah.

    “Kombinasi antara pemerintah yang adil dan rakyat yang taat akan mencetuskan kebaikan yang merata dalam sesebuah masyarakat dan dinikmati oleh semua pihak.

    “Bagaimana mungkin kita mampu mengecapi semua nikmat ini seandainya barisan kepimpinan kita bukan dalam kalangan yang layak iaitu adil, cekap, bijak dan prihatin?” kata khutbah.
