  • Minah Tudung Pegang/Bela Anjing

    anjingnajis

    Dik, anjing ni najis berat. Haram disentuh. Bukan masalah dosa, tapi masalahnya haram. Bila ko sentuh, ko kena sertu tangan ko dan juga segala anggota yg bersentuhan dgn anjing tu. Jika tidak solat ko x sah sbb ko bernajis. Ko xleh baca al Quran. Ko xleh masuk rumah pun kalau ikutkan sbb nnt satu rumah ko bernajis.

    Ini bukan sekadar urusan antara ko dgn Allah, tp soal kebersihan, ibadah dll. Xkan tu pun x reti2?

    Allah mmg letakkan anjing n babi sebagai najis berat, tp dalam masa yg kita dilarang menyakiti dan menyeksa kedua2 haiwan tu. Dan membela anjing pun harus dgn syarat utk keselamatan dan diletakkan jauh dr rumah dan ditambat rapi agar x sesenang lari keluar masuk rumah agar x menajiskan rumah.

    Bukannya boleh bela dok bawak jenjalan gini. Banyak lg menatang ko boleh bela dik.

  • Katy Perry Burns ‘Allah’ in Latest Music Video ‘Dark Horse’

    Katy Perry has a recent trend toward elaborate and cartoonish cultural appropriation that hasn’t exactlyendeared her to members of those communities. She was called out after performing “Unconditionally” at the AMAs with a regressive representation of Japanese culture, and now finds herself even deeper in controversy over a scene in her new video for “Dark Horse.”

    A movement has built on Twitter—and spilled over to a Change.org petition with over 15,000 signatures—to have the video banned on YouTube because of a scene where a man wearing a chain with the Arabic spelling of “Allah” on it disintegrates into dust.

    You can see it happening clearly in the video below if you know what you’re looking for. At the 1:15 mark, Perry zaps a man with lightning. He is wearing two chains (let’s assume that in itself is not symbolism), both of which are easily recognizable: One, over the center of his chest, is the logo of Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group. The second, to the viewer’s left, is the Arabic word for Allah.

    Western depictions of Islam have a long history of being viewed as disrespectful by Muslims, and though the sight of the word “Allah” burning may not escalate up to death threats against Perry—who may not even be aware that it occurs in her video—a la South Park, it’s certainly an argument for the hazards of viewing other cultures as themes.

  • Brunei Prohibits Non-Muslims to Use 19 Islamic words

     

    WORDS such as “Allah“, “mu’min” (believer) and “masjid” (mosque) cannot be used with regards to another religion besides Islam, said a senior syariah officer yesterday.

    Under the Syariah Penal Code Order, there are 19 words which cannot be used with respect to other religions.

    They are azanbaitullahAl QuranAllahfatwaFirman AllahhadithHajihukum syara’ilahi;Ka’bahkalimah al syahadahkiblatmasjidimammuftimu’minsolat; and wali.

    Hj Hardifadhillah Hj Mohd Salleh, a senior syariah legal officer of the Islamic Legal Unit, yesterday briefed staff of the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources (MIPR) on key parts of the Order, which will take effect this April.

    Speaking to more than 200 people, the legal officer gave some examples of offences that can apply to non-Muslims such as zina (adultery) with a Muslim partner, drinking alcohol in a public place, andkhalwat (close proximity) with a Muslim partner.

    Khalwat is defined in the Order as a non-married couple who are “living together; cohabiting; in confinement; or isolating oneself in close proximity that can lead to suspicion that they are committing an immoral act.”

    If convicted, the penalty is a fine of up to $4,000 and/or one year in prison.

    For adultery between a married Muslim and a married non-Muslim, both parties can be punished by stoning to death if the offence is proved by confession, or the testimony of four eyewitnesses.

    Hj Hardifadhillah added that any person who instigates any Muslim man or woman to divorce, or neglect their duties towards their partner, can be fined up to $4,000 and/or jailed for a year.

    Additionally, any Muslim parent who surrenders his child into the care of a non-Muslim can be fined up to $20,000 and/or jailed for up to five years.

    Brunei will enforce the Syariah Penal Code Order in three phases.

    Present at the briefing was MIPR Minister Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Utama Dato Seri Setia Hj Yahya Begawan Mudim Dato Paduka Hj Bakar and other senior officials from the ministry.

    The briefing was conducted by officials from the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Prime Minister’s Office, Attorney General’s Chambers, and Islamic Da’wah Centre yesterday.

  • Indon Ulamas Accept Bribes in Milions of Rupiah to Issue Halal Licenses

    The Indonesian Council of Ulamas (MUI) has accepted hundreds of millions of rupiah in bribes from Australian halal certification companies, a Tempo investigation has found.

    The owners of several halal certification businesses in Australia have confirmed it is common to pay the MUI for the licenses.

    “It’s common knowledge in Australia that in order to get authorization you have to bribe MUI officials,” Mohamed el-Mouelhy, president of the Sydney-based Halal Certification Authority told Tempo.

    El-Mouelhy gave AUD $26,000 to seven MUI officials during a visit to Australia in 2006, of which “the largest share” went to Amidhan, he said.  He did not, however, receive authorization.

    Australian Halah Food Services (AHFS), a Melbourne-based business, told Tempothey paid bribes to senior officials from MUI to renew their license to certify abattoirs as halal. These bribes range from smaller payments of AUD $3000 (around Rp. 31 million) to AUD $10,000 put directly in the bank account of MUI Chairman Amidhan Shaberah.

    The accreditation process, which Amidhan also does for European halal-certifiers, is a free service, with the MUI expecting money to be put into the local Islamic community as recompense.

    The AFHS was re-issued certification in 2013 after losing it for failing to uphold halal standards at slaughterhouses. When visiting abattoirs in Victoria certified by the AFHS in January, Tempo found halal meat being prepared in the same areas as pork, and beef not killed according to shariah law.

    Denial

    Facing a flood of accusations, MUI officials have denied the charges, asserting that the halal certification should be free of charge.

    “We do not have cash for making the visit,” said LPPOM Director at MUI Lukmanul Hakim.

    Hakim has also refuted profiteering allegations, saying that they “charge the host authority to cover the visit expenses”.

    Meanwhile, Chief of Indonesia Ulema Counsel (MUI), Amidhan Shaberah, noted that “halal certification should be free of charge”.

    Shaberah added that the same term should be applied to all halal certification institutes in other countries.

    Indonesia is the most populous Muslim state where Muslims make up 86.1 percent of Indonesia’s 235 million population.

    The Ulema council, established in 1975, has carved a key role for itself in the Muslim country.

    The accusations have sparked outcry among the Indonesians who slammed MUI monopoly of the halal industry deeming its conduct as “haram”.

  • Malay & Chinese duo offer sex then steal from victims

    01d68607

    It was an offer he could not resist — sex with two women for $50.

    But he ended up losing his mobile phone and money to the women.

    Yesterday, one of them, Nurul Bayah Abdullah (above), 24, was jailed for two months.

    The waitress, who had pulled similar stunts with two other men, pleaded guilty to three counts of theft.

    A fourth theft charge was taken into consideration during sentencing.

    On Sept 5 last year, a construction site supervisor approached Nurul Bayah and Ang Hui Ying, 31, at Desker Road.

    While Ang was taking a shower with their client in a hotel room, Nurul Bayah took his Samsung Galaxy S3 mobile phone valued at $350 and $150 in cash before fleeing.
