    Support These Fundraising Events For Darul Ghufran Mosque

    Masjid Darul Ghufran located in Tampines Avenue 5. A very popular mosque among those living in the East, the mosque becomes crowded every Friday due to the lack of a mosque in the neighbouring town of Simei. Previously, the mosque can only acommodate 4500 people to pray at one time. The current renovation, which is due to complete in 2018, will increase acommodation size up to 5,500 worshippers, making it the largest mosque in the east of Singapore.

    To support this beloved mosque, there are a few events happening this weekend (3rd-4th September) whose funds will go towards the renovation of the mosque. And since it’s already the September holidays, parents, do bring your kiddos to these events!

    “Whosoever builds for Allah a masjid, Allah will reward him similar to it in paradise.” (Bukhari)

    “Whosoever shares in building a masjid for Allah, even if it is as small as a bird’s nest, Allah (S.W.T.) will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Ahmad)

  • Uqasha Senrose: I Took Off Tudung Because I Felt Like Hypocrite

    Uqasha Senrose: I Took Off Tudung Because I Felt Like Hypocrite

    KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 ― Local celebrity Uqasha Senrose who came under fire from fans earlier this week after going bareheaded has finally shared her reasons for removing the Muslim headscarf after covering up her tresses three years ago.

    Born Nik Zaris Uqasha Senrose, the 24-year-old actress told Malay daily Berita Harian that she took off her tudung as she no longer wanted to lie to herself.

    “Three years is not a short time. It’s different if I remove the tudung after wearing it for three months.

    “During that period I was also not consistent in terms of wearing the tudung. I feel as if I was constrained and restrained,” she said in the interview published today.

    The stage star of Ombak Rindu confessed that she might have been hasty when she decided to go for a new look after her engagement ended and having had her heart broken.

    She recounted that the desire to wear the tudung was strong in the initial stages, but as time passed, she felt like she was becoming more of a hypocrite as she no longer really felt a “sincere’ desire to do so.

    “It was as if I was afraid with what others say and think. But I don’t want to live based on what others think anymore. Let this decision be between me and God,” the Kelantan-born told Berita Harian.

    She also admitted peer pressure from her bareheaded girlfriends may have contributed to her removal of the tudung, a Muslim symbol of modesty in women.

    Uqasha said she is fully aware that she will continue to get flak for taking off her tudung as her face is well known to Malaysians.

    “But I only want to be myself. Hate or like, I am ready. After three years, only now have I plucked up the courage to remove the tudung,” she was quoted saying.

    She was criticised by social media users after removing the headscarf and had previously been criticised after photos of her uncovered head while on holiday in Koh Lipe, Thailand surfaced online.

    But Uqasha also said she may yet put on the tudung in future.

    “Who knows in the future or after marriage, I will cover up the aurat whole-heartedly,” she was quoted saying.

    Aurat refers to the parts of a Muslim woman’s body that must be covered, but the extent of which varies in interpretation according to schools of Islam.

    Last June, Muslim women’s rights group Sisters in Islam (SIS) said that the Muslims’ holy book al-Quran does not specifically mention hair as part of a woman’s “aurat”.

    SIS told Malay Mail Online then that the interpretation of the “aurat” in Malaysia has become increasingly influenced by Arab culture since the 1980s, noting that most Malay-Muslim women did not wear the tudung during the 1950s and 1960s, including the wife of the then Kelantan mufti and the spouse of Indonesian ulama, Prof Dr Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah, better known as Hamka.

    “This very narrow and conservative interpretation of ‘aurat’ has also been directed mainly to women and as a result, the growing obsession with controlling women’s bodies by making wearing the hijab compulsory,” SIS had then said.

    Khairudin Aljunied: When Change Is Not Possible, What Do You Do?

    There is a limit to how far human beings can change a long established system.

    At a certain point, change is not at all possible.

    The more logical thing to do is to move to another site with a totally different system, work with it, build it until it becomes so strong that it will change the system that was previously left behind.

    Jaguh Silat Dunia Sheik Farhan Terima Anugerah Jauhari Harapan

    Anugerah Jauhari Harapan 2016 pula diberikan kepada juara silat dunia, Sheik Farhan Sheik Alau’ddin.

    Bagi Sheik Farhan, 18 tahun, anugerah itu menjadi pencetus semangat baginya untuk terus meniti tangga kejayaan.

    Bagaikan ‘di mana tumpahnya kuah kalau tidak ke nasi’, Sheik Farhan yang menjuarai Kejohanan Pencak Silat Dunia tahun lalu, menyifatkan ayahnya yang merupakan pesilat mapan, Sheik Alau’ddin sebagai sumber inspirasi.

    “Saya nampak yang terbaik dalam silat ialah bapa saya dan untuk menjadi terbaik saya harus ikut yang terbaik,” katanya.

    Farhan berharap anugerah tersebut dapat dijadikan sandaran terutamanya kepada atlit-atlit muda supaya dapat memartabatkan lagi arena sukan Singapura.

    Beliau menambah: “Untuk golongan muda, ia memberitahu bahawa mereka boleh mencapai apa yang mereka mahu tidak kira usia dan saya rasa mereka harus tidak takut untuk mencapai cita-cita.”

    Anugerah Jauhari disampaikan buat tahun ke-18 malam tadi (30 Ogos).

    Penolong Pesuruhjaya Kanan yang juga Pengerusi Yayasan Warisan Melayu, Cik Zuraidah Abdullah dijulang sebagai penerima Anugerah Jauhari 2016.

    Anugerah Jauhari Harapan 2016 pula diberikan kepada juara silat dunia, Sheik Farhan Sheik Alau’ddin.

    Kedua-duanya menerima anugerah akhbar Berita Harian itu daripada Perdana Menteri Lee Hsien Loong dalam satu majlis penyampaian di Hotel Furama Riverfront yang sedang berlangsung malam tadi (30 Ogos).

    Wanita pertama yang menyandang jawatan Penolong Pesuruhjaya Kanan – jawatan ketiga tertinggi dalam Pasukan Polis Singapura.

    Lulusan universiti Melayu pertama dan wanita keenam yang menyertai pasukan polis melalui program kemasukan langsung.

    Kini, Cik Zuraidah Abdullah, 54 tahun, adalah wanita ketiga selepas Speaker Parlimen, Cik Halimah Yacob dan pereka tari, Cik Som Said, menjadi penerima anugerah berprestij itu, yang mengiktiraf sumbangan dan pencapaian cemerlang individu Melayu/Islam setempat.

    Atas kegigihannya selama 30 tahun dalam pasukan polis, Cik Zuraidah dinaikkan pangkat untuk memegang jawatan-jawatan kanan.

    Beliau kini dipinjamkan kepada Penguasa Imigresen dan Pusat Pemeriksaan (ICA) sebagai komander kawalan utama.

    “Dengan memberikan yang terbaik, masyarakat akan percaya pada kita. Kepercayaan masyarakat sangat penting kerana tanpa kepercayaan mereka ia akan membuat pekerjaan kita susah dalam mencegah jenayah dan juga pengganasan,” ujar beliau.

    Tidak setakat cemerlang dalam kerjaya, Cik Zuraidah juga menabur bakti kepada masyarakat melalui Yayasan Mendaki dan Yayasan Warisan Melayu.

    Beliau mengatakan lagi: “Saya harap kerja-kerja masyarakat saya akan memberangsang lebih ramai lagi untuk tampil ke hadapan dan menghulur tangan, membantu kepada badan-badan bantu Melayu Singapura.”
