  • Pekerja Kebajikan Masjid: Ada Peminta Bantuan Berkali Layan Masjid Macam ATM, Tidak Mahu Terima Syarat-Syarat

    Pekerja Kebajikan Masjid: Ada Peminta Bantuan Berkali Layan Masjid Macam ATM, Tidak Mahu Terima Syarat-Syarat

    Membaca komen2 org yg salahkan masjid kerana ada org susah yg tak dpt bantuan masjid tp dapat bantuan church…kata mereka masjid harus bertanggungjawab jika mereka tukar agama.

    Saya teringat peristiwa 5 tahun dulu.

    Ada seorang klien ni mmg peminta berulang. Tak bg, dia marah. Dia complain dgn semua org kata masjid TAK PERNAH tolong. Jaja cerita ‘sedih’ dia sana sini. Sedangkan bantuannya da disambung berkali2. Da bertahun terima tp tetap dgn sikap yg sama.

    Tak bg je, dia buat kecoh. Dia kata masjid tak tolong. Pergi church lg bagus, katanya. Diaorg tak byk soal tp terus bg duit.

    Bayangkan bila dia kecoh2 dpn kaunter masjid. Jemaah masjid yg lain tengokkan saya. Sampai imam masjid kata, “Zuwainah kenapa tak bg dia? Kesian dia…”

    Saya tak tahu nak marah ke nak nangis. Semua cerita klien adalah confidential. Kita je yg tahu da berapa kali klien tu dpt bantuan. Dah berapa byk info yg dia bohong. Berapa byk dokumen yg tak menepati cerita yg diberi.

    Saya jawab, “Ustaz, dia da byk kali dpt bantuan. Cerita yg dia kecoh2kan ni tak sama dgn bukti dokumen yg ada. Saya nak dtg home visit nak tgk anak2(katanya anak2 semua dia yg jaga)dia pun dia tak bagi. Macam2 alasan dia beri”.

    Ketika klien ni tengah buat kecoh,seorang jemaah terus dtg kepadanya dan bg duit. Saya terdengar atau mmg sengaja jemaah tu nak saya dengar “Takpe ambik ni buat beli makanan anak dan isteri. Tak pyh harapkan sangat duit dr masjid ke muis ni. Penat je minta”, katanya sambil ekor matanya menjeling ke arah saya.

    Terus klien tu cakap pd saya, “Lepas ni saya tak nak dtg masjid lg. Saya nak pergi church aje. Awak bertanggungjawab atas semua ini!”

    Saya terdiam. Tak terjawab.

    Setelah klien tu pergi, saya masuk semula ke ofis. Saya duduk diam2 di tempat saya. Masih terperanjat dgn apa yg terjadi.

    Akhirnya saya tak mampu tahan. Saya menangis dalam diam. Stress nye kerja ni. Kena marah dgn klien. Kena marah dgn jemaah. Nasib tak baik, rakan kerja pun mempersoalkan.

    Tapi saya tak blh ceritakan semua tentang klien tu. Itu keaibannya. Itu harga diri dia.
    Serba salah.

    Bagi orang2 yg rasa pihak masjid tidak memberi haknya, harap beri details nama klien, ic, pegawai nama siapa, tarikh bila kejadian tu berlaku & masa kejadian. Senang untuk investigate samada mmg benar atau sebenarnya cerita rekaan mcm cerita ‘sedih’ di atas.

    Kalau setakat kata, 3 tahun dulu saya pernah minta bantuan…2 minggu lps kakak saya minta bantuan tp pegawai halau keluar…semua org blh ckp. Semua org blh buat cerita atau menokok tambah apa yg ada.

    Dan jika ada pegawai yg melakukan kesalahan, tidak adil untuk men’streotype’kan semua.

    Berlaku adil itu wajib.
    Usah kita menzalimi orang atas alasan menegakkan keadilan bg orang lain.

    Dua2 adalah saudara seislam kita. Kita tak boleh menjatuhkan seseorang untuk menaikkan seseorang yg lain.

    Hati-hati.

  • Noor Mastura: Muslims Must Mirror Prophet Muhammad’s Graciousness Towards Jews

    Noor Mastura: Muslims Must Mirror Prophet Muhammad’s Graciousness Towards Jews

    So yesterday i received an interesting phone call. Apparently, one of my previous post on asking if there were any Mosques or places in Singapore which can spare or share their space with a Jewish community (so they can have their sessions) caused an uproar with a number of Muslims.

    Noor Mastura On Jews Prayings

    I cant even begin to express the emotions i felt. An uproar?! The argument, amongst many others was ‘Jews hate us and are our enemies so why would this Muslim girl post such a thing and support them?’

    I want to shout ‘backward thinking’ right now but – backward where??? This hate mongering against Jews or any religion for that matter did not exist during the Prophet’s time. Yes there is a verse in the Quran that states “…take not the Jews as your friends..” BUT there is a context as well in which that verse was sent and surely by now everyone who considers him or herself a Muslim will know that the Quran is all about context and you cannot cherry pick verses out of that context and apply them anydamnwhere you please.

    ‘The Jews want to kill all Muslims’ rhetoric needs to stop. Please tell me what different are you from the people who say ‘All Muslims are terrorist’??? Really. Think about this. How are these 2 rhetorics any different? Oh wait, you have higher ground as a Muslim? Because your religion is The Truth? Well let me share a quote from your beloved Prophet when the Muslims had upper hand in Medina.

    “Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim or minority, or curtails their rights, or burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will, I will personally complain against them on the Day of Judgment.”

    How’s that for starters? Of course, there is so many more where that came from. And as for Muslims and Jews have always been fighting? And that its always been like that? Where did you get that from? No. This historical lie on a broken record played by haters needs to be destroyed.

    The Prophet was the biggest interfaith advocate of his time and i daresay to date. Religious autonomy and the freedom of religious assembly was obligatory for all under his watch. He was adamant that no place of worship be destroyed or harmed. Convenants and constitutions were forged and sealed to ensure these rights.

    When 60 Christian delegates from Najran came to his mosque and their time of prayer came, THEY PRAYED IN HIS MOSQUE. (And that is ONE teeny tiny example)

    I dont know about you but i have lived in a country where for the longest time our diverse race and religion is something we are proud of. Unfortunately, events around the world and the speed of technology means you have access to so much hate that is going around elsewhere. But dont you dare bring that on my homeground. This is Singapore. This is our turf. And we should do whatever it takes to protect it from hate and ignorance.

    When people say evil things about Muslims, you ask them “have you even met a Muslim in your life?? Or speak to one??” And its true. Usually these people who paint the brush on all because of a minor few are those who cant be bothered to step out and meet a Muslim or go to their mosque to actually find out what the hell is going on. No. They sit behind a screen and willingly feed themselves with every news source and hang out with similar minded ignorant experts and assume that has to be it.

    Have you met a Jew? Sat with one? Have you met a Jewish father of two beautiful little girls who went for a one month programme in a different country just to seek Muslims to understand about their religion so he could forge a better relationship with them and educate his Jewish community? And while he was on the trip, his youngest girl fell and broke her arm and asked daddy to come home but he had to tell his little girl that he had important work to finish though it broke his heart. I have. I saw it with my own eyes.

    These are people who have nothing to do with the war or the politics. People like you and me. You cannot claim to love the teachings of your Prophet if your love is conditional. Or forget love. Maybe that’s too high a level for mere humans like us. But basic humanity? Surely that is not too far off?

    We Muslims really need to step up if we are going to continue calling ourselves Muslims and calling Islam a religion of peace. It cant be peaceful if the self appointed gatekeepers are hell bent on choosing who deserves a (FREE)ticket and who doesnt.

    I’ll end this rant with my favourite poem by Adam Kelwick and hopefully, it inspires us all to love a little harder.

    I sat with a Jew.
    Do you feel upset that I sat with a Jew?
    And with a Christian, does that unnerve you?
    What about an atheist? that angers too?
    A gay? An alcoholic? What shall you do?
    One sufi here, a shi’a there or two?
    With the brotherhood and the salafi crew.

    Well let me explain what the Prophet Muhammad would do…
    He’d welcome everybody, black, white or blue.
    And the house of Islam has big doors, so true.
    With invites for them all, not just me and you.
    Even if they reject, their rights are still due.
    We all need bigger hearts, if only we knew.

  • Papa Rock Datuk Ramli Sarip: Bukan Semua Rockers Jahat

    Papa Rock Datuk Ramli Sarip: Bukan Semua Rockers Jahat

    Terlalu banyak pengalaman hidup yang dikongsi Datuk Ramli Sarip semasa penggambaran temubualnya semalam.

    Bila menyentuh tentang sangkaan buruk terhadap rockers, beliau berkongsi, “Tidak semua yang suka rock tu jahat. Dan tidak semua yang di masjid itu baik. Yang penting hati.”

    Benar. Secara zahir mungkin nampak kasar tetapi di dalam hati ikhlas serta lembut tidak tersasar.

  • Heng Swee Keat Lucid, Making Progress

    Heng Swee Keat Lucid, Making Progress

    Visited Heng Swee Keat in the TTSH Neuro ICU at NNI this evening. Delighted to find him recovering well, and making steady progress. He was fully lucid, communicative, and cheerful.

    The doctors are happy too. But they have advised Swee Keat not to receive visitors yet, so that he can get as much rest as possible.

    I told him we had made arrangements to look after his residents in Tampines while he recuperates. He gave me two thumbs up. 🙂

    Swee Keat wants to thank everyone for their support. He especially sends his greetings and best wishes to his Tampines residents and volunteers, who have been asking after him. – LHL

  • Belum Lagi Ramadan, Namun ‘Demam Raya’ Nampaknya Sudah Bermula

    Belum Lagi Ramadan, Namun ‘Demam Raya’ Nampaknya Sudah Bermula

    Promosi untuk kuih dan baju raya mula “membanjiri pasaran” di sana sini. Kek yang unik dan cantik seperti Batikrolls, merupakan antara juadah yang boleh dikatakan ‘terlajak laris’ musim ini.

    Di tengah-tengah ekonomi tidak menentu, sejauh manakah para peniaga mengharungi persaingan sengit bagi menawan hati pembeli?

    Yang pasti, ‘Demam Raya’ pun bermula dengan para peniaga giat mempromosikan produk-produk mereka secara online.

    Tidak kira peniaga tempatan mahupun luar negara masing-masing membawa kepelbagaian dan pilihan- sekali gus membuat para pembeli pasti rambang mata!

    Ramadan bakal menjelang sekitar seminggu lagi. Namun syarikat-syarikat dan pereka fesyen setempat sudahpun menjual dan mereka busana khas Hari Raya.

    FASHIONVALET BAWA BAJU RAYA KE SINGAPURA

    Syarikat fesyen terkenal dari Malaysia, FashionValet, juga tidak terkecuali dengan membawa busana khas Hari Raya dari Malaysia ke Singapura.

    Syarikat FashionValet yang berasal dari seberang tambak, menghimpunkan pelbagai jenama dari pereka ternama Malaysia. Baru-baru ini ia melancarkan busana khas Hari Raya.

    Jika selalunya pelanggan Singapura hanya dapat membelinya secara online, kini FashionValet membuka sebuah cawangan di kawasan Orchard Road di 313 Somerset.

    “Memang saya tahu ekonomi sekarang bahagian runcit agak lembab tetapi FashionValet amat bertuah sebab kami mempunyai banyak pilihan dan pelanggan-pelanggan kami amat setia.

    “Kami mempunyai tukikan yang khusus iaitu mereka yang di pertengahan hingga atasan. Saya rasa mereka tidak begitu terjejas dengan kelembapan ekonomi ini. Jadi bagi saya, kita mempunyai sasaran pelanggan yang tepat,” kata Pengarah Urusan FashionValet, Vivy Yusof.

    PELANGGAN SUARAKAN KELEBIHAN PERSIAPAN AWAL

    Menurut Vivy Yusof lagi, syarikatnya mula membuat pemasaran bagi produk-produk Hari Raya seawal tiga bulan.

    “Memang lagi senang sebab kalau waktu Ramadan itu waktu kita sibuk dengan ibadah, kita sibuk dengan urusan harian, jadi kalau hendak fikir untuk Hari Raya macam terlalu banyak benda hendak dibuat pada satu masa.

    “Tidak kira kedai fizikal mahupun secara online. Bagi sesetengah pembeli persiapan awal Hari Raya juga bermakna mereka dapat mengelakkan pembaziran,” jelas seorang pelanggan bernama Cik Nurul Suhana Sulaiman.

    Ia disokong seorang lagi pelanggan, Cik Naime Zainal: “Pada bulan puasa, bazar selalunya penuh sesak dengan orang. Saya hendak tawar-menawar, saya hendak ke sana-sini, terpaksa bersaing dengan pelanggan-pelanggan yang lain.

    Maka itu kata beliau, dengan persiapan awal, iaitu membeli lebih awal, beliau tidak akan berasa kelam kabut, selain dapat memastikan apa yang dibelinya berada dalam bajet.

    BATIKROLLS – ANTARA KEK LARIS MUSIM INI

    Selain sambutan untuk baju raya, kuih-muih raya juga laris dijual sehinggakan ada tempahan yang sudahpun penuh.

    Batikrolls, misalnya, menerima 500 tempahan bagi kek gulungnya yang unik.

    Pemiliknya, Cik Siti Nurashikin Shaikh Ismail berkata: “Buat pertama kali, saya letakkan di Facebook, dalam dua, tiga jam sudah mendapat pesanan-pesanan. Sambutannya memang lebih daripada jangkaan kami dan kami masih menerima permintaan walaupun tempahan sudah ditutup untuk Hari Raya.”

    Untuk kekal berdaya saing dari peniaga-peniaga musiman yang lain, Cik Nurashikin mengambil langkah untuk menginovasikan idea kek gulung dengan menggabungkan lukisan Batik – sesuatu yang mungkin belum pernah dilihat di pasaran!

    SEMANGAT NIAGA TANPA KEDAI

    Walaupun sudah berniaga bersama ibunya selama lebih 20 tahun, Nurashikin belum mempunyai rancangan untuk membuka sebuah kedai.

    “Secara online, risikonya rendah, sangat rendah dan saya boleh cuba beberapa produk kalau ia tidak mendapat sambutan. Saya boleh tukar dengan senang berbanding mempunyai kedai sendiri,” tambah beliau lagi.

    Apa yang pasti, ketidaktentuan ekonomi sama sekali tidak melenturkan semangat para peniaga ini.

    Bahkan bagi FashionValet dan Batikrolls persaingan sengit dari peniaga-peniaga lain sekali gus menyemarakkan lagi penjualan musim Ramadan.
