Apa ada pada warna? Berbaju puteh bukan bermakna kita suci dan bersih dari sebarang dosa.. Dan berbaju pink tidak bermakna, kotor dan jijik…
Pelajar-pelajar Madrasah AlMaarif hari2 menggunakan warna pink dan putih? Adakah bermakna mereka menyokong LBGT dan pink dot kah?
Sedangkan warna putih juga symbol penyokong fanatik PAP…
Selagi kita berpegang kepada Syahadah kenapa pedulikan tentang warna pakaian sangat dan terkejar2 stop mereka? .. Cukupla sekadar spread awareness di acara forum. Tak perlu bertanding akan warna dan berkejar2..
Perlu ke copycat cara mereka sibuk sgt soal warna?
Saya sebenarnya ada membuat comment di salah satu posting…
White tu ikut sejarah Islam memanglah asal warna kesukaaan Rasulullah saw.
Dan ia juga warna favourite fanatik PAP juga..
Susahkan kita mahu tegakkan besarkan “soal warna” ni? Adakah kempen berwarna baju puteh gara2 ingin berlumba isu LBGT dan Pink dot dan hadirnya Ramadan saje?
Jika mahu dapat pahala sekalipun kenapa tidak mulakan hari ini setiap solat dan mengapa perlu tunggu Ramadan untuk bertaubat?
Bagi saya tak perlu a berkejar all out dan stop LBGT ni semua.. Yang mulakan ni semua siapa dan siapa mereka semua? Bukan orang Islam kita.. Sedangkan ramai orang Islam kita sendiri bukan perfect dan byk buat dosa juga. The most kita boleh nasihat jika berlaku depan mata kita saje.. Berdoa… Jika ikut cara Nabi saw, beliau tidak berkejar orang sampai mcm tu sekali.. Pernah tidak kita terbaca cara Nabi berdakwah seperti mahu serang atau “confrontional”?
Bagi saya mengadakan acara forum atau syarahan dan spread awareness, seperti biasa tu lebih baik..

Suggestions By Ustaz Noor Deros:
In my discussions with many muslims about this issue I managed to gather some good suggestions, these are some of them :
– Organise an easy, simple, yet clear and easily viral event such as WEAR WHITE DAY ON THE FIRST OF RAMADAN.
Together with this, all/some of the mosque in Singapore – on the first of ramadan especially – should deliver a clear call to taubah, explaining the concept of fitrah, freedom & sexuality in Islam.
In my opinion, this is the most viable, I and my friends will take this on, you are invited to lend a hand. Please contact me if you are interested.
– Veterans and experienced Mega Maulid/Islamic Events organisers especially the lead and crowdpulling asatizahs should come together and organise a mega program on the first of ramadan, maybe a mega terawih session in a stadium. FOR THE LOVE OF THE PROPHET S.A.W. We will give our support.
– Short videos stating our stand on this issue as Muslims living in Singapore. (This is a must)
– Continuous series of talks and seminars on Islam and the LGBT. (Such programs have started, but we need more of it)
– Talks on Islamic Worldview/ Islamic View of Existence. (This is the most important)
Oh Muslims! Our amal ma’ruf nahi munkar is never and should never be restricted to only Muslims. If your non-muslim neighbour tries to kill an innocent life in front of you what do you do? Harm should not be restricted to physical, for we muslims strongly believe in the reality of spiritual harm.
Oh Muslims! We have been fighting about petty issues for too long, Isn’t it high time for us to come together for something that is common between us?
Come come! Let us all together make taubah!
Scholars should make taubah of their muteness and inaction!
Those who have fallen into the pit of LGBT lifestyle should make taubah of their transgression!
Those of us who think that we are clean and are guarenteed salvation because we are religious, should make the most istighfar! For that is the worse kind of delusion!
The problem when you have an independent body to issue so called Islamic regulations or fatwa’s, disagreement/misunderstanding might arise, just look at our neighbouring Malaysia.
What they face is something which Singaporeans should avoid, in their case, different states have different Muftis and sometimes their fatwas or religious opinion clash with one another. Now if Singapore has their own independent Islamic body to regulate all these issues, who exactly are the committee who will regulate all these issues? How do we know that these so called independent Ulamas come up with such regulations not for their own benefit? In fact it causes more mistrust because these so called ‘independent body’ think they are holier than thou.
I think the author is just another sour-grape who has personal issues with MUIS. What MUIS has done for the Malay Muslim community in Singapore is commendable despite the lack of funding, support. The system is not perfect but it has serve its purpose bcos no system is perfect.
Honestly if the author think covering Aurat is a major issue well think again. I would rather have a lady who never covers her aurat but yet contribute more to the society than a hijab lady who is hypocrite and and gossips too much with her fellow hijab frens. A hijab person doesnt also mean that she prays 5 times daily, in fact she just could have put on hijab out of family pressure. So focus on the main social issue first before coming up with such petty issues.
Im sure Allah is forgiving. In fact we humans tend to judge others more… it’s also very stupid to actually declare Jihad on this or Jihad on that not everything has to be Jihad… Just use more common sense.
If the author thinks that by having an independent body to regulate Islamic regulations and fatwas, then they need to come up with reasons and even flaws which MUIS has overlooked before we can consider having an independent body. Otherwise don’t waste other’s ppl time with such proposals, bcos then you are just like a ‘rebel without a cause’…
Nasiruddin Pungut shares his view in reference to a previous letter written by R1C reader named Firdaus Abdul Samad who felt that there should be a new set up of an Independent Ulama Body to closely look into matters of Muslims in Singapore.
Good to share opinion and exchange of ideas. What is your view about this matter? Do you think Singapore should have an Independent Ulama/Islamic Body or not? Share you opinion with us at Rilek1Corner.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad suggested today that homosexuality would not exist if people were strong in their religious beliefs.
The former prime minister said homosexuality is now prevalent because the gay and lesbian communities have been following their emotions and lust.
“If you understand your religion, you will never be gay,” the 88-year-old said after a lecture in the International Islamic University Malaysia here.
“If you strengthen your faith, your iman, then you’ll never be gay,” he added.
Dr Mahathir was answering a question by a student — a nephew of former New Straits Times group chief editor Datuk A. Kadir Jasin — who asked for a way to curb the spread of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) movement in Malaysia.
Dr Mahathir said that one of the dangers posed by the LGBT community is that they cannot have children, despite religion prescribing sex as a way to procreate.
“It is good that they are having gay marriages, very soon they will disappear,” Dr Mahathir added, referring to the Western world.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak objected to the inclusion of LGBT rights when signing Asean’s first human rights charter in 2012, saying Malaysia could not accept principles that went against the order of human nature.
In the same year, the Education Ministry was forced to deny endorsing any guideline on spotting homosexuality symptoms among schoolchildren, following its then deputy minister’s apparent support for a controversial list that has triggered widespread disapproval.
Mohd Puad Zarkashi, who was the then-deputy education minister, also said in March last year that his ministry may look into extending a parenting seminar on how to curb LGBT activities, to all districts in order to reach out to a wider group.
International news wire Reuters reported the federal government as acknowledging last year that it has been working to curb the homosexuality “problem” prevalent among Muslims who form 60 per cent of Malaysia’s 28 million population.
Homosexuality in itself is not a crime in Malaysia but is taboo in the religiously-conservative society, including among followers of Islam.
Bismillah, walhamdulillah, the blessed month of Ramadan is just around the corner, if Allah wills, it will descend on the night of 28th of June around 7pm+.
We ask Allah that He allow us to be among those who will be blessed with His pardon & mercy in that month of rahmah and maghfirah. Amin.
Yet, it seems that there is another group of people who are also looking forward to that day. That very same date and time (5pm-7pm) was chosen by the PINK DOT activists (Lesbian,Gay,Bisexuals & Transexual activists and symphatisers) to organise their biggest event ever. They will come together in thousands to make a call to the Singaporean society to accept LGBT individuals (of course together with their lifestyle) without any kind of discrimination, intolerance nor judgement.
It is important to note here that it is through such nuanced events that the idea, philosophy and lifestyle of LGBT is subtly promoted and normalised, most of the time through the call to accept the VEHICLE (the LGBT individuals).
Oh Muslims! The gates of heavens and mercy will be opened in Ramadan, we do not want It to be blocked by our sins and our inaction towards munkar.
Muslims and straight-minded human beings must stand up and state our stand clearly.
No, not even as a response to this or that party, what more a reaction, but as an education first and foremost to our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters out there who still think that the LGBT lifestyle is a personal right and that the Quranic and Prophetic guidance on the LGBT issue is boundlessly flexible and ever-open to “progressive” interpretations.
For the sake of our collective spiritual, mental, emotional, social & physical health we have to MAKE CLEAR WHAT IS EVIL AND PROHIBIT IT. Be it through a small one time event or mega ones, collectively or group based. Whats important is that it must be continuous and ever present.
This is of course not a new call nor a unique one, this is just another of that small yet continuous calls. We have to keep them coming.
PERGAS have stated our stand, may Allah reward them for that, and I believe that MUIS already have something wise and farsighted in mind, many of us are waiting for that something with good opinion, but waiting is just another excuse to avoid commitment and responsibility, no, waiting is not enough, we, the people on the ground have the right and responsibility to do and say something.

In full honesty, Rilek1Corner has to applaud these Singapore Muslims who have come together to educate the public. This is perhaps the first time in a long time that the Muslim community have witnessed how a small group of dynamic individuals are able to move a community. Hopefully, there will be more of such efforts so that both our Malay and Muslim can also move forward in tandem with rest.
