  • MUIS – It Is Not Justifiable For Sultan Mosque To Chase Us Out Because A Minister Is Visiting

    MUIS – It Is Not Justifiable For Sultan Mosque To Chase Us Out Because A Minister Is Visiting

    Dear Sultan Mosque – Singapore.

    My friends and I were chased out of your public praying area by one of your staff around 5pm because a “minister” was visiting your premises. After our (5 of us) Asr prayers we sat down for a discussion about Islam matters and fiqh. Out of a sudden one of your staff came to us and told us to leave the premise because “5 or more people sitting in the prayer hall is an offence”.

    Since when is this a rule in Allah’s house. What make matter worse when he go on and on about Isis and illegal gathering. As this is Allah’s house my friends and I just want to leave the hall without any unnecessary argument.

    As we were taking our belongings to leave he added “as there will be a minister visiting this mosque, it is advisable for you guys to leave because this might be an ugly sight for the minister and the mosque.”

    You know what? May Allah judge you and your organization for this appalling incident and niat. So a minister is greater than Allah?

    ITTAQULLAH!

  • Muslims To Contribute More To Mosque Building And Mendaki Fund From June

    Muslims To Contribute More To Mosque Building And Mendaki Fund From June

    Starting Jun 1, monthly contributions by Muslims to the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund (MBMF) will be raised by between S$1 and S$10.

    The increase, announced by Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Dr Yaacob Ibrahim at the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore’s (MUIS) Workplan Seminar on Saturday (Mar 12), is the first revision to contributions since 2009.

    Four additional tiers have been added for those earning between S$4,000 and S$10,000.

    Muslims earning below S$1,000 as well as those earning between S$1,000 and S$2,000 will pay S$1 more, bringing their monthly contribution to S$3 and S$4.50, respectively. The contributions progressively increase based on eight income bands, up to a maximum of S$26 for those earning above S$10,000, an increase of S$10 from the current monthly contribution.

    “The revision will allow us to raise an addition of at least S$6 million every year and this will go a long way to improve the socio-religious life of our community,” Dr Yaacob said.

    The MBMF has enabled the upgrading of 17 mosques adding 4,700 prayer spaces, as well as contributed to the building of new mosques such as the Al-Islah Mosque in Punggol, he said. The fund has also helped to enhance madrasah education and support parents with school-going children.

    MUIS said higher contributions will help ensure the timely completion of future mosque development and upgrading projects. The increase will also boost funding for Mendaki, which has dipped into its reserves since 2013 to expand its educational programmes and meet rising costs, it said.

    Admin,

    nobody can help him so he ask in forum how to do.

    I am very sorry if this may seem inappropriate to post, however I am really in need of help.

    I have been actively researching on how to renounce Islam legally in Singapore for the past 2 months. I even found a facebook page for Ex-Muslims saying that I should get a deedpoll and change my name.

    I do not wish to change my name, I only want to renounce it officially so I may no longer be bound under their syariah laws.

    I am calling out to anyone who has done this before to please help me.

    Every organisations I have contacted are avoiding this matter like the plague be it government or private.
    Muis is not even answering my concerns its aggravating.

    I am an athiest and I only wish to free myself from the syariah law.

    Is it fated that he shall remain Muslim? Only God knows..inshallah. Hopefully readers can give good advice to remain Muslim.

  • Encik Tan: CCTV Records Show That Our Chinese-Muslim Staff Did Not Act Inappropriately

    Encik Tan: CCTV Records Show That Our Chinese-Muslim Staff Did Not Act Inappropriately

    The management of Encik Tan have contacted us and issued this reply to give their account of the events that took place that day.
    Read their response here.
    It appears that your complain of poor service relates to the incorrect amount of money change given to your husband and the “purported” charging of replacement drinks.
    We have looked into the matter and have also verified the incident with the staff in question. We actually have a rather different account of the incident which can be backed up by CCTV footage.
    We have attempted to contact you for a meeting to clarify the actual details of the incident but to no avail
    We sincerely hope you can get in touch with us to set up such a meeting.
    You have also alleged that the staff in question may be a Chinese woman wearing a tudung for the sake of halal certification.
    We would like to put on record that the staff is a Chinese muslim (as verified from her identity document).
    Further, MUIS will issue Halal Certication to a food and beverage outlet based on a set of strict Criteria set out by MUIS and not in the matter you have alleged.
    We are also prepared to arrange for a consultant from the Halal certification to be present at the Meeting to clarify the matter as we have build a strong bonding with our Muslim community all these years . We do not allow accusations of any form to damage our good standing.
    We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible as we would like to amicably resolve the matter and clear up all the misunderstandings

  • PAP Ministers And MPs Should Keep Their Word And Stop Commenting On Religion, Leave It To The Asatizahs

    PAP Ministers And MPs Should Keep Their Word And Stop Commenting On Religion, Leave It To The Asatizahs

    ‘Religion is the domain of religious scholars.’

    Apart from the obvious irony that it was a politician who was giving the said advice, the next time i see a politician (or those who are ever-so-eager to support a politician’s statement) commenting that ‘Islam says this’, ‘Islam permits this’, ‘this is the true Islam’, ‘Islam is about a and b, not x and y’, i will be sure to remind him/her that ‘Islam is the domain of religious scholars’, and not anyone else. ?

    Most definitely, not the domain of politicians.
