  • Bengawan Solo is NOT HALAL

    Credit: Shred Novice

    My dear brothers and sisters. Please take note that Bengawan Solo is NEVER halal certified because of the usage of RUM in their food.

    Please spread this around. 

    When choosing an eatery, ensure it’s Halal certified and don’t just assume, especially if only verbally mentioned by the staffs. When in doubt, avoid. 

    Jazakallah Khair,

    BARU-BARU ini kita terbaca di akhbar dan mendengar berita di radio mengenai institusi Islam – lima masjid dan sebuah madrasah – yang melabur $14 juta dalam satu skim pelaburan projek pembangunan semula tanah wakaf The Red House di Katong.

    Anak Syarikat Muis, Wareen Investments Pte Ltd, yang menguruskan projek itu.

    Lima masjid itu ialah Masjid An-Nur, Masjid Darul Ghufran, Masjid Al-Mukminin, Masjid Assyakirin dan Masjid Muhammad Salleh (Palmer Road).

    Setiap masjid itu melabur $1 juta, (berjumlah $5 juta) dalam Wakaf Ilmu, Dana Pembangunan Amanah Yal Saif dan Madrasah AlJunied melabur untuk membeli tujuh unit rumah berjumlah $8.95 juta.

    Skim pelaburan tersebut bertujuan mempertingkat wakaf sambil meraih keuntungan yang dijanjikan iaitu Hibah sebanyak 2.1 peratus atau $42,000 setahun bagi setiap masjid setelah genap dua tahun dan modal $1 juta dipulangkan.

    Masyarakat tahu bahawa masjidmasjid kita terkial-kial mencari dana. Oleh itu, sumbangan wang memang sentiasa diharapkan daripada masyarakat Islam di sini.

  • Idolizing ‘Maha Gurus’ Is Not Piety and UnIslamic

    Dear R1C,

    Yesterday I noticed a man with a fancy looking head gear at a local mosque. I was seated behind him and realized he had inserted two photos of his ‘Maha Gurus’ or ‘religious teachers’ on the right side of his head gear. While it is important to dress clean, neat and proper when you want to perform your prayers, I find that such act of idolization of his religious teachers or ‘Maha Gurus’ is inappropriate especially when you are praying to Allah SWT, There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the last Prophet.

    Islam takes a firm stand against idolatry in any form. Islam takes the position that such objects have often been used to glorify or idolize people or creatures, in violation of God’s law against idolatry. Thus, anything that can be construed as an idol is forbidden. Allah is the Only One Who has the power of giving shape to His creation and creating them in the best image. The matter also has to do with aqeedah when these images are taken as idols which are worshipped instead of Allah.

    Research scientist Dr Ismail Muhamad Hanif, 35, was seen mingling with Bukit Batok East residents on Sunday morning as Jurong GRC MP Madam Halimah Yacob took Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Lawrence Wong on a walkabout around shops in the area.

    Dr Ismail, who is married, has been a member of the Tampines West Citizens’ Consultative Committee (CCC) since 2009 and had helped out in the last general elections.

    Madam Halimah told reporters that she had met Dr Ismail at a community event and invited him to volunteer in her ward.

    She declined to say if he was a potential PAP candidate for the next polls, only that he was part of Bukit Batok East’s Volunteer Induction Programme, which was started in 2010.
