    Mohd Khair: Madrasah Wak Tanjong Perlukan Dana $12 Juta, Pertimbangan Diperlukan

    Madrasah Wak Tanjong memerlukan SGD12juta

    Amat menyentuh hati sekali apabila ramai yang mahu membantu pihak Madrasah Wak Tanjong mengumpul dana SGD12juta itu.

    Namun, walau apapun cara untuk mengumpul dana, beberapa perkara asas mungkin perlu diberikan pertimbangan:

    1. Persaingan (Competition): Terdapat beberapa projek lain dalam masyarakat yang juga memerlukan dana dalam pelbagai saiz. Ada yang memerlukan lebih dari SGD12juta bagi satu projek.

    2. Andaian (Assumption): Periksa pemahaman kita terhadap pasaran. Nilai semula andaian-andaian yang boleh jadi blindspot sehingga usaha mengumpul dana mengalami lebih friction dan kurang traction.

    3. Perkara Hati (Matters of the Heart): Kerja-kerja mengumpul dana memerlukan lebih usaha untuk menyentuh hati dan bukan setakat menarik perhatian akal. Pendekatan lebih bersifat affective diperlukan, dan bukan setakat cognitive.

    4. Kenapa ini dan bukan itu? (Why this and not that?): Mahu tidak mahu, sesiapapun yang kumpul dana, perlu tangani persoalan ini – “kenapa mesti saya derma di sini dan bukan di sana?” Apakah “compelling story” yang boleh disajikan kepada pasaran penderma?

    5. Kreativiti & Tenaga (Creativity & Sustainability): Apakah LAGI yang perlu dilakukan untuk terus kekal relevan di sepanjang tempoh pengumpulan dana agar pasaran penderma tidak berasa jemu? Perlu kreatif untuk sentiasa segar dan dapat terus bertahan dalam pasaran.

    (kalau projek ini ada kabel kuat, pendekatannya berlainan sedikit)

    NDR 2016: MUIS, PERGAS To Work Together To Make Asatizah Scheme Mandatory

    Two Muslim leadership bodies will work together to make the Asatizah Recognition Scheme (ARS) mandatory, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his Malay National Day Rally speech on Sunday (Aug 21).

    The decade-old scheme, which is currently voluntary, recognises teachers and scholars who meet the minimum standards of qualification to preach and teach Islamic religious knowledge.

    “MUIS (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore) will work with PERGAS (Singapore Islamic Scholars and Religious Teachers Association) and the Asatizah Recognition Board (ARB) to make (the scheme) mandatory,” said PM Lee in Malay during his speech, which began at 6.40pm at ITE Central.

    He added: “I commend the community for these initiatives and for their resolve. This will ensure that all Muslim religious teachers here are able to guide their students to practice Islam in the context of Singapore’s multiracial society.”

    Earlier in his speech, Mr Lee had said that it is critical for local asatizah (Muslim religious teachers) to understand Singapore’s multiracial context.

    He shared that several topics, including an understanding of contemporary issues and context, are incorporated in professional development programmes offered to asatizah by the ARS.

    “I understand that many asatizah find this exposure useful and important,” he said.

    On the sidelines of the Rally, Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim said the plan is to start making the ARS mandatory from the beginning of next year, although there will be a transition period.

    “We want to have every religious teacher to be qualified and be on the ARS. If some of them do not have the necessary qualification, we will run programmes, we will basically work with them to ensure they can be part of the ARS,” he said.

    The Minister added that 80 per cent of teachers are already registered under the ARS.

    “The remaining 20 per cent are those operating on the private sector; those are running their own classes. We will be meeting them and I think they understand the need for the ARS and some of them are coming forward and I think some of them also fear that they may not have the necessary qualification.”

    In that situation, the authorities will work with the teachers to see what assistance is needed to ensure they meet the criteria to be qualified under the ARS.

    Mohd Khair: Learn About Islam From The Correct And Credible Sources

    My Dear Non-Muslim Friends,

    For any non-Muslim interested to know more about Islam, the Quran and its text, please seek assistance from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) or any nearby mosque or the Singapore Muslim Converts Association or the Singapore Islamic Teachers and Scholars Association (PERGAS).

    Do not rely on online sources, especially those sites used by extremist or terrorist groups which subvert Islam by claiming to be Islamic or an authority in Islam whereas they are NOT.

    Those online sites do not represent Islam nor the Muslim World.

    And please remember that ISIS and its predecessor Al Qaeda are unIslamic groups. The entire Muslim World and entire Islamic Scholars have condemned all the terrorist acts by such groups.

    And as far as suicide bombers and their actions are concerned, they are neither Islamic nor sanctioned in Islam and by its Scholars.

    So, please do yourselves a favour. If you need more information about Islam. Muslims and interpretations of the Quranic texts, seek help from MUIS, Mosques or PERGAS or other Recognised Muslim Organisations like the Singapore Muslim Converts Association.

    Do not ask Google Sheikh for it will only lead you astray and make you an extremist in your views about Islam and Muslims

  • PERGAS: Islamic Scholars Divided Over Festive Greetings To People Of Other Faiths, PERGAS Of The View That It Is Acceptable In Singapore Context

    PERGAS: Islamic Scholars Divided Over Festive Greetings To People Of Other Faiths, PERGAS Of The View That It Is Acceptable In Singapore Context

    Will the PAP MP Dr Maliki Osman retract his statement?

    On 26th January 2016, Dr Maliki made a comment about Islam in Parliament that has been proven wrong.

    The PAP MP Dr Maliki Osman….in his speech about extremism..

    Referred to discussions among Muslims that it may not be permitted for Muslims to wish non Muslims for their festivals.

    As reported on ChannelnewsAsia…

    when discussing the opinion that it is not allowed in Islam..

    “Dr Maliki said senior, respected scholars have spoken up and contradicted the message. Citing a report in Berita Harian, the MP said that such bans have no basis in Islam.”

    The PAP MP Dr Maliki appears to have made an unequivocal statement that is has “no basis in Islam”.

    And yet..

    The Singapore Islamic Scholars & Religious Teachers Association – Pergas

    has sent out guidance to Muslims in Singapura with regard to the issue.

    According to the guidance, there is a difference in opinion on whether it is allowed in Islam.

    Pergas provided a rather balanced position.

    Pergas 1

    Pergas 2

    Pergas 3

    Pergas 4

    Pergas 5

    Importantly, they provided the Islamic evidence for those who believe it is not permitted (and those who believe it is)..

    Dr Maliki Osman claimed there is no basis…the scholars said there is.

    Will Dr Maliki Osman now retract his statement?
