  • Muslims Nowadays Easily Swayed By Liberal Thinking Due To Various Reasons

    Muslims Nowadays Easily Swayed By Liberal Thinking Due To Various Reasons

    Ramai orang yang saya kenal di masa mudanya merupakan seorang salafi dan Islamis, tetapi di masa tua ia menjadi modenis dan liberal. Ada dua kemungkinan mengapa hal ini berlaku:

    Pertama, ia menjadi salafi/Islamis semata-mata kerana pengaruh persekitaran dan sebenarnya tidak yakin dengan apa yang diwacanakan. Kedua, ia faham dan yakin dengan wacana tersebut tetapi tuntutan zaman merubah fikirannya untuk lebih pragmatik dan mementingkan survival diri. Dalam kedua-dua situasi ini ia gagal memiliki kerangka berfikir yang teguh dan mantap yang diinginkan oleh Islam.

    Hal ini menunjukkan begitu besar pengaruh dan mudahnya merebak pemikiran liberal kepada masyarakat Muslim. Di sinilah pentingnya kita mempersiapkan diri dengan pandangan alam (worldview) Islam supaya kita dapat memelihara diri kita daripada terpengaruh dengan pandangan alam yang boleh merosakkan Aqidah dan jati diri kita.

  • Malaysia Deputy Home Minister: Not True That Dr Zakir Naik Given Malaysian Citizenship

    Malaysia Deputy Home Minister: Not True That Dr Zakir Naik Given Malaysian Citizenship

    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 — Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed dismissed today a news report alleging that Indian televangelist Dr Zakir Naik has been given Malaysian citizenship.

    “Not true,” Nur Jazlan told Malay Mail Online when contacted.

    “There are many processes to follow and it takes decades to become a citizen,” he added.

    Nur Jazlan also told The Star Online that Malaysia does not automatically confer citizenship on anybody, unless said person is born in the country to Malaysian parents.

    The Pulai MP said he did not think that Dr Zakir would want to apply for Malaysian citizenship.

    Indian news outfit Hindustan Times cited unnamed representatives of Dr Zakir as saying that the Mumbai-based televangelist’s so-called Malaysian citizenship had come as a “package” together with his “Tokoh Maal Hijrah” award that he received from Malaysia in 2013.

    The publication also claimed that Dr Zakir now holds dual Indian-Malaysian citizenship although Malaysia does not allow such a thing.

    Hindustan Times said the fact that Dr Zakir is purportedly a Malaysian citizen on Malaysian soil would complicate investigations, as Malaysia has not allowed any extradition to India despite signing a treaty in 2010.

    The Muslim preacher is believed to be currently in Malaysia.

    Earlier this month, Times of India reported that the Indian government had imposed a five-year ban on Dr Zakir’s NGO, the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF).

    The daily reported that India’s National Investigation Agency is mulling terror charges against Dr Zakir, reportedly based on testimonies of about 50 terror suspects and convicts recorded from various jails, with those caught citing him as their motivation and source of inspiration.

    In April this year, the state of Terengganu offered Dr Zakir three islands for the preacher to open a branch for IRF, in addition to a religious school.

    Mohamed Nazem Suki: We Are All Muslims, Don’t Label Each Other

    When a government preferred with either group/s, the divisions and problems will deepens.

    The irony is, the group/s, whom any governments preferred, will conduct their actions uncompromising towards another ‘opposing’ group/s. These group/s sold their principle and brotherhood and are proud of it. Cheap isn’t it?

    When any government ministers/officials, past or current, seen to be present supporting one group than the other, by default those group/s are legitimate while the others are extremist, assumed ‘terrorist’. Who determine? Some smart deans and professors make reference to opposing groups? Smile all your way, write long thesis to justify your theories, while you sit in, and you didn’t even touch those brotherhood sufferings in the hands of those ‘terror’ governments.

    Civil and nation wars are inevitable when governments have preference for its survival. People lives are no more sacred. Aren’t these governments more extreme forceful terrorist than those other groups?

    These governments are NOT a reference point. We, Muslims, can’t and don’t and shouldn’t look at any government policies and then work backwards in order to fit into these governments’ system.

    We, Muslims, have our reference and the system/s, we have the ‘just and humanist’ solutions ourselves. Sell it, campaign it, convince them, educate them, create the awareness, etc etc, not just any reaction denouncing allegations of terrorism acts all over. We can also in reaction denounced any acts by any governments which does not fulfilled our principle and obligations. We have diplomatic experts and scholars’ channels, talk it out.

    We, Muslims, are NOT terrorists !

  • Khairu Rejal: Manhaj Salafi Yang Dibawakan Hang FM Bukan Menyokong ISIS

    Khairu Rejal: Manhaj Salafi Yang Dibawakan Hang FM Bukan Menyokong ISIS

    Selalu jugak bila driving aku dengar Hang FM. Kadang-kadang bila ada pembentangan yang aku tak setuju (actually often jugak terjadi) dengan pandangan pembentang aku switch to IKIM (tapi IKIM pun dah banyak advertising dah). Bagi pendengar setia HANG FM (emphasis on “setia”✌️) cuba consider Fiqhul Waqi’ jadi tak semua kita terima 100%. Namun demikian, tak pernah aku dengar Hang FM cerita pasal ISIS …

    Oh ni ada orang dah cucuk cukup-cukup .. dia anti lepas tu dia cucuk lagi.Ingatlah. Kalau tak setuju dengan manhaj ni, pada aku takpelah … tapi kena ingat yang manhaj ini antara terawal menghukum khawarij kepada sesiapa yang membina jemaah dalam Islam kerana ini pada mereka memecahkan Islam. Mereka juga langsung mengharamkan pengeboman bunuh diri dalam apa-apa keadaan. Jadi tak betul untuk imply yang manhaj yang Hang FM bawa ini pro ISIS. Bersifat adil ..

    At a broader level, lepas spotlight “salafi, nak spotlight siapa lagi? “tabligh” pasal pergi India, Pakistan and Bangladesh or “sufi” consider the Sanusi movement or “syiah” pasal pro-Iran … apa lagi? Buka matamu, pandang lebih jauh kehadapan. Jangan jadi anai-anai …

  • Hazrul A. Jamari: Authorities Must Take More Nuanced Approach Or Lose Goodwill Of Muslim Community, Organisers Must Be More Accountable

    Hazrul A. Jamari: Authorities Must Take More Nuanced Approach Or Lose Goodwill Of Muslim Community, Organisers Must Be More Accountable

    There are many sides to a story. We are ultimately responsible to weed out the lies and half truths so that we can get to the bottom of things. Here are my opinions of the saga that has captured the Muslim community lately.

    1. Adab is paramount. Even if one disagrees, a certain level of decorum is expected among Muslims.

    2. Regardless of whatever sources of truth, the ultimate standard is never to takfir any person who is a Muslim. In this respect I find the group of asatizahs and Muslims who are anti-Wahabbi guilty of the very things some of the extremists are guilty of. To use Islamic text as an excuse to perform takfir on another set of Muslims. This ultimately creates unrest and division.

    3. Whether or not Wahabbi ideology is correct is a discussion for another day. What’s important is has the Islamic personality admitted he is one? Assuming that Wahabbi ideology is bad or evil, if it is, has he preached any evil?

    4. There must be a distinction between a Salafi and a Wahabbi. A Salafi considers being called Wahabbi derogatory. Salafis according to anthropological opinion are made up of purists, politically activists and jihadists, the first two completely disagreeing with the jihadists. The jihadists are in fact in the minority. Whereas Salafi purists preach good and peace and are apolitical or politically passive compared to the other types. I am in the opinion Mufti Menk, if he is a Salafi, falls under the purists category. He has preached nothing but peace.

    5. Definitely we must root out extremism in our society. But must the targets be indiscriminate? I think this is the mistake by the security apparatus to perceive a speaker of ultimate credentials and popularity as a security threat. Without actual hard proofs a ban on the personality is counter-productive to the good will between the state and the Muslim population. It creates distrust between them and is likely to influence perceptions that the state mistrusts the Muslim population and would prefer to exercise control and dictate the kind of Muslims that we should be.

    6. Organizers of such religious talks must be held into higher accountability. They should not market or advertise if they have not secured a license and even if they do, they need to be transparent with what steps they did. For example, assuming that it was necessary to market the conference without a confirmation of the license, the Organiser must be upfront with the public that the license is being applied and the availability of the personality is pending the approval of such licenses. Otherwise, even if the organizers are well meaning and have good credibility, as long as they were not transparent from the point of marketing to sale, people will likely express their disappointment. As they say, you can take ages to build credibility. But it takes only seconds to lose it.
