    Forums Featuring “Controversial Preacher” Zakir Nakir To Continue With Different Titles

    KUALA LUMPUR: Both forums by controversial Muslim preacher Dr. Zakir Naik will proceed as planned here on Saturday and at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia, Malacca, on Sunday.

    Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim however said the title of the lecture to be held at the Bukit Jalil stadium would be changed from “Is the Quran God’s Word?” to “Women’s Rights in Islam”.

    “I have spoken to the DPM (Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) and IGP (Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar) and they have agreed for the event to continue. But we have advised for the title of the talk to be changed. We support these events entirely,” Shahidan told the media at the Putra World Trade Center today.

    Ahmad Zahid also confirmed that Zakir’s talk in Malacaa will be held after the speaker agreed to change the title of his talk.

    On Monday, Khalid said Zakir would be barred from giving a talk at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia in Malacca titled “Similarities between Hinduism and Islam” following a backlash from several groups including the MIC.

    Meanwhile, the information officer of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has lodged a police report over a fake tweet claiming that Lim would not allow Zakir to enter Penang.

    Zaidi Ahmad said he was informed about the fake tweet posted on Monday evening and clarified that Lim did not post such comments on his official social media accounts.

  • Gadis 18 Tahun Kahwin Lelaki 66 Tahun

    Gadis 18 Tahun Kahwin Lelaki 66 Tahun

    Jarak perbezaan usia antara si gadis dengan lelaki yang dikahwininya, hampir 50 tahun.

    Si jelita berusia 18 tahun. Si lelaki pula berusia 66 tahun.

    Namun inilah yang dikatakan jodoh.

    “Walaupun usia jauh beza namun saya kahwin dengan dia sebab saya sukakannya, bukan kerana duit atau terhutang budi.”

    Itulah pengakuan Nur Nasirah Mohd Nazri, seperti ditukil Utusan Malaysia. Nur Nasirah memilih seorang jejaka bernama Ismail Lombok yang berusia 66 tahun, sebagai suaminya.

    Menurut laporan Utusan Malaysia lagi, Nur Nasirah mula mengenali hati budi Ismail yang sering minum di restoran milik ibunya, Salma Abdullah, 42 tahun.

    Ketika itu, Nur Nasirah selalu berada di restoran untuk membantu ibunya dengan kerja-kerja dapur selain mengambil pesanan daripada pelanggan.

    Beliau mula tertarik dengan perwatakan duda lapan anak itu yang sering bertanya khabar tentang diri dan keluarganya.

    “Biarpun apa orang hendak kata kepada saya namun saya terima seadanya, dia begitu mengambil berat dan menyayangi saya sepenuh hati,” tambah Nasirah.

    Utusan Malaysia mendedahkan Nur Nasirah tidak tahu menahu langsung bahawa Ismail juga menaruh hati padanya dan melayan lelaki itu seperti pelanggan lain yang berkunjung ke restoran itu.

    TIADA HALANGAN DARIPADA IBU BAPA

    Ibu Nur Nasirah, Salma yang juga rakan baik Ismail yang kini menjadi menantunya berkata sudah lama mengenali lelaki dikenali dengan panggilan Pok Wil yang tinggal sekampung.

    “Selepas anak saya tamat Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), dia berkali-kali meluahkan hasratnya itu, namun saya tidak memberikan keputusan kerana perlu berbincang dengan Nur Nasirah dahulu.

    “Apabila Nur Nasirah memberikan jawapan, barulah kami buat perbincangan lanjut lalu menetapkan tarikh perkahwinan mereka,” menurut Utusan Malaysia seperti ditukil oleh ibu Nur Nasirah yang merestui perkahwinan pasangan itu.

    Ternyata jarak usia amat berbeza iaitu 48 tahun bukan penghalang dan tetap mendapat restu serta persetujuan daripada keluarga masing-masing.

    Akhirnya Nur Nasirah, anak ketiga daripada lima beradik selamat diijabkabulkan dengan Ismail dengan hantaran kahwin sebanyak RM7,000 (S$2,400).

    Majlis akad nikah berlangsung di rumah pengantin lelaki di Terengganu minggu lalu pada18 Mac, namun gambar-gambar perkahwinan mereka mulai menjadi viral di media sosial dengan ulasan-ulasan yang mempersendakan pasangan itu.

    Pengacara popular, Faizal Ismail atau dikenali sebagai FBI turut berkongsi gambar perkahwinan pasangan berkenaan dan mengucapkan tahniah.

    Laman online freemalaysia.com pula melaporkan, Nur Nasirah tampil untuk membidas pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab menyusuli penyebaran gambar perkahwinannya itu yang mempersoalkan motifnya.

    “Perkahwinan saya sah. Bukannya buncit (mengandung) dulu baru kahwin,” menurut Nur Nasirah di Facebooknya.

    “Pasal orang muda seperti saya kahwin dengan orang tua jadi bahan lawak. Lawak sangat ke? Terima kasihlah jadikan saya hot stuff kejap. Banyak pahala awak sehingga nak cari dosa. Kalau saya tak maafkan awak sebab hebohkan gambar ni? Awak rasa ok tak?” tambahnya seperti ditukil laman tersebut.

  • 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.

    ‪#‎astaghfirullah‬

  • Controversial Columnist Ridhuan Tee Abdullah Denied Entry Into Singapore, Claimed Treated Like Terrorist

    Controversial Columnist Ridhuan Tee Abdullah Denied Entry Into Singapore, Claimed Treated Like Terrorist

    KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 — Controversial columnist Dr Ridhuan Tee Abdullah has complained that Singapore immigration officials treated him like a terrorist when they recently refused to allow him into the republic.

    In his column on Malay-language daily Sinar Harian, the Muslim convert said his photograph and thumbprint were taken at Singapore’s land checkpoint at Woodlands when he and a friend recently travelled to the neighbouring country on personal business.

    “I was treated like a terrorist. My photograph and thumbprint were taken,” Tee wrote in his column today titled “Know the true enemies of Islam”.

    “After more than two hours of questioning, I received a letter saying I was not allowed to go there. There was no reason given. But I am confident that it was due to my comments on the ‘ultra kiasu’,” he said.

    He said it was no loss not being able to go to Singapore, but added: “I just want to remind how dangerous the ‘ultra kiasu’ are”.

    “Ultra kiasu” is a term Tee constantly uses on the DAP, a predominantly Chinese opposition party, but he has also applied it to other groups, including Christians and Malaysia’s ethnic Chinese.

    The Chinese Muslim has repeatedly criticised the Chinese minority in Malaysia, labelling them as “racist” and “ultra kiasu” for not showing gratitude towards the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.

    In Tee’s column today, he again accused the “ultra kiasu” of trying to manipulate Muslims to bury PAS and claimed that Malays in Singapore were not given decision-making positions or posts in the police, immigration or army.

  • No Need To Mourn For Malaysians Who Left For Singapore

    No Need To Mourn For Malaysians Who Left For Singapore

    PETALING JAYA: There is no need to cry over the estimated 7,828 former Malaysians who gave up their citizenship for our neighbour, Singapore, an Utusan Malaysia editor has said.

    Zulkifli Jalil, in a column, said the only thing to mourn was those who chose to renounce their citizenship on the grounds the republic gave such quarters more benefits.

    He was responding to a statement by Ong Kian Ming of DAP, who said he felt saddened by Malaysians, a majority of whom were Chinese, who chose to become Singapore citizens as it deprived the nation of professionals and a highly-skilled workforce.

    Zulkifli, however, said it was best to just let them leave.

    “There are still many more professionals among the 30 million Malaysians who are committed and want to serve their beloved country.”

    Zulkifli said that while the current economic situation made life difficult, it had not come to a point where one needed to renounce one’s citizenship.

    He then reminded the 7,828 former Malaysians that it would be difficult for the country to welcome them back as citizens, citing complications experienced by British Overseas Citizen (BOC) passports holders in 2014.

    The issue arose when Ng Wei Aik of DAP claimed the government had agreed to bring back more than 500 BOC passport holders.

    BOC passport holders are Malaysian citizens who had chosen to give up their citizenship to apply for UK citizenship instead.

    Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had in 2014 said citizenship would not be given automatically and that applicants had to adhere to stipulations spelt out in the Immigration Act.

    For BOC passport holders, Zulkifli said, there was no forgiveness.

    “Maybe Kian Ming should learn a thing or two from Wei Aik in managing those who renounced their citizenship.”
