    Kian Ramai Asatizah Gunakan Media Social Untuk Tangkis Naratif Radikal

    Dalam usaha menangani mesej radikal yang tersebar luas di internet, lebih ramai asatizah kini menggunakan media sosial untuk mendekati masyarakat dengan tumpuan diberikan kepada kelompok belia.

    Laporan berikut menyingkap usaha yang dijalankan MUIS dan para asatizah di sini.

    Akaun Instagram Ustazah Liyana Musfirah mempunyai ramai pengikut termasuk di kalangan belia Singapura.

    Beliau antara golongan asatizah yang giat aktif menggunakan wadah media sosial untuk menyampaikan ajaran Islam dengan cara yang menarik dan mudah difahami.

    “Para remaja dan juga pengguna-pengguna di luar sana amat aktif dalam media sosial – dengan Facebook, Instagram dan seterusnya. Dengan itu kami perlu gunakan platform ini untuk mengajar atau menyebarkan unsur-unsur positif yang menjawab kembali atau menerangkan kekeliruan,” Ustazah Liyana memberitahu BERITAMediacorp.

    Lebih 2,800 asatizah sudah berdaftar di bawah Skim Pengiktirafan Asatizah sejak ia diwajibkan awal tahun ini.

    Semakin ramai daripada mereka menawarkan pendidikan Islam secara online.

    Ia sebahagian daripada usaha inovatif untuk mendampingi golongan belia bagi mengatasi ideologi pelampau dan radikal yang tersebar luas di internet.

    “Pemahaman radikal ini hadir di internet. Jadi kita juga harus hadir di tempat yang sama. Itu jadi yang paling efektif untuk menangani dan juga mengatasi pemahaman-pemahaman yang sesat dan juga menyelewengkan mereka,” menurut Ustaz Tarmizi Wahid, pengasas Institut Safinah.

    Dalam usaha mengukuhkan lagi penglibatan para belia, MUIS juga memanfaatkan wadah internet termasuk menambah laman web yang berbentuk anti-fahaman radikal.

    Laman web dan forum MUIS sendiri dipenuhi dengan banyak ilustrasi, gambar, video, dan sebagainya bagi menjawab sebarang kemusykilan pembaca.

    Para asatizah juga dilatih untuk menggunakan media sosial secara lebih berkesan dan memudahkan perbincangan tentang isu-isu yang sensitif.

    اللهم اغفر لها وارحمها وعافها واعف عنها.

    اللهم أغسلها بالماء والثلج والبرد ونقها من الذنوب والخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس.
    اللهم باعد بينها وبين خطاياها كما باعدت بين المشرق والمغرب.
    اللهم ثبتها بالقول الثابت.
    اللهم قها عذاب القبر وعذاب النار.
    اللهم أظلها بظلك يوم لاظل إلا ظلك.

  • PERGAS: Islam Forbids Dua For Negative Outcome Towards Others, Regardless Of Religious Backgrounds

    PERGAS: Islam Forbids Dua For Negative Outcome Towards Others, Regardless Of Religious Backgrounds

    RELIGIOUS GUIDANCE

    Following is a guide from us in making supplications for different faith groups from the Islamic perspective:

    Essentially, Islam forbids praying for negative outcomes on others, whether they are Muslim or believers of other religions. Among the evidences and arguments supporting this opinion is the hadith (sayings of the Prophet).

    Abu Hurairah r.a. narrated: It was said to Rasulullah, ‘O Rasulullah, supplicate (for calamity) for the hypocrites.” Rasulullah said: “Verily I was not sent to scorn, but I was sent as mercy.” (Muslim)

  • Allah, The Most Gracious And Most Merciful, Can Forgive Your Sins With Him But Not The Sins You Commit To Others: Zainal Bin Sapari

    Allah, The Most Gracious And Most Merciful, Can Forgive Your Sins With Him But Not The Sins You Commit To Others: Zainal Bin Sapari

    I am glad the investigation over this issue is over and MHA had sought the views of MUIS and PERGAS. It is not an easy issue to find an outcome that satisfies everyone. I feel sad that the Imam of mosque, where I do my Friday prayers regularly, is being send back but, as a multiracial community, a strong signal must be given that there is no place for any statement (intended or otherwise) that can sow seeds of doubt in other communities. No doubt this case had evoked strong emotive reaction from many fellow muslims because the complainant is a muslim convert that many disagree (or even hate?) for his controversial views of Islam in the past and there are calls for stronger action to be taken against him for being ‘kurang ajar’ at our revered and beloved Mufti. Despite what he said about the Mufti or MUIS, personally I do not think it is necessary for further action against that person because in this age of social media, anyone can be condemned or ridiculed (just ask any politicians). I think we all can distinguish the truth and let Allah be the judge for his actions and thoughts. I recalled what I was taught that Allah, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful, can forgive your sins with him but not the sins you commit to others. We also have a well-meaning professor who expresses his unhappiness with the convert but unfortunately, not knowing the full context, made some postings which can also be intrepreted as supporting the iman’s view. All involved have apologised and I wish there is closure for all especially for their families that may have been under a lot of stress and for our community that has been partly torn apart. Let’s us heal from this episode.
