1. Ulama menyatakan syaitan dirantai di bulan Ramadhan. Bila Sosilawati dan 3 muslim dibunuh dengan dalam bulan Ramadhan, ada yang bertanya apakah syaitan hindu tidak dirantai? Ataukah hindu-hindu terbabit sudah jadi sub kontraktor syaitan di bulan Ramadhan.

2. Kak Jat pula berfatwa neraka pun tak mahu menerima pembunuh-pembunuh ini. MasyaAllah.

3. Tapi fatwa lama di sebelah kanan ini lagi menarik!

Ramadhan Al Mubarak: Berita Gumbira

Over 13,000 embraced Islam in Dubai

Ahmed Shaaban

3 September 2010

The emirate of Dubai is seeing waves of conversion to Islam over the last 14 years, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan, according to a top official.
Huda Al Kaabi, head of the New Muslims Section at the Islamic Affairs Department, said as many as 13,946 people, from 72 nationalities, have embraced Islam in Dubai over the period from 1996 to 2010. “These include 10,450 new Muslims from 2005 to 2009.”

People are touched by the merciful instructions of Islam which strictly orders its followers to be honest, fair and kind to all people, disregarding their religion, race, language and colour. “When people come to Dubai, they know better about the bright image of Islam, and how it tolerantly meets man’s needs in all places and times,” Kaabi said.

Prof Dr Lewis, one of the new Muslims, said his two PhDs in philosophy and education helped him evaluate Islam reasonably. “I am not convinced to do so because of a passionate idea or imitation, but due to my total heart and mind contentedness.”

John, another convert from the Philippines, said he managed to get information about the rituals, virtues and ways of Islam from his colleagues. “Islam truly respects the mind and heart of human beings,” he said.

Shanju Kamarachi, an Indian working in a bank, was a Hindu before he came to discuss issues with Dr Zakir Naik — at a Ramadan Forum lecture — about paradise which only Muslims will enter as is known in India. “I got clear answers, particularly about the virtues of Islam which calls for one God, morals and what is best for human beings,” he said.

After spending 13 years as a missionary, Rowena said “having seen no Muslim converting to another religion made me ask and read about Islam and finally embrace it.”

While 3,043 people converted to Islam in 2009, the first half of 2010 saw 1,373 new Muslims; most of them were from the Philippines, Russia, China and India. “The nationality of most new Muslims differs from one year to another, however,” Kaabi said. More women than men opt for Islam.

“This year among the converts, 1,098 are women and 275, men. Likewise, 984 of the 1,365 new Muslims in the first half of 2009 were women, and 576 of the 878 people who embraced Islam in the first six months of 2008 were women,”
she said.

There are more conversions during Ramadan. The varied activities held therein — including introductory lectures, courses and workshops on Islam, along with mass Iftars, charity meals and contests — attract more people to Islam. “Some 391 people from 35 nationalities converted to Islam last Ramadan.”

The Ninth Ramadan Forum witnessed the conversion of 160 people, mostly Filipinas this year while 205 people converted to Islam at Dar Al Ber Society in June and July this year.

Kaabi said the New Muslims Section provides fully-integrated and free services to Muslims, new Muslims, and non-Muslims.

“Special programmes are held for non-Muslims to integrate them into the UAE society and enlighten them about the religion and culture while new Muslims join courses on the Holy Quran and Sunnah, as well as the pillars, rituals, teachings and ethics of Islam.”

In a bid to answer all queries and doubts about Islam, a new online service Itasel Bena or Call Us is available on the website www.iacad.gov.ae. “Most of the questions received are about polygamy, circumcision and the burial norms in Islam,” Kaabi said.

Questions may also be submitted in person or by telephone on 04-6087707. “The seven male and female staff counsellors are geared up round the clock to answer all questions in various languages, including Tagalog, Chinese, Russian, English, Urdu and Malayalam.”

Kaabi said regular visits are paid to the consulates, departments, hospitals, shopping centres and prisons to explain the teachings of Islam, using creative, scientific and persuasive techniques.

Little Caliphs

1. Tok-tok guru sering mengingkat bahawa "kita (muslims) adalah khalifah-khalifah Allah di muka bumi".

2. Tok-tok guru juga sering mengingatkan "tangan di atas lebih baik dari tangan yang di bawah" dan seikhlas menderma atau bersedekah "tangan kiri pun tak tahu". Persis lagu Herman Tino "...Tangan kanan memberi, sorokkan tangan kiri".

3. Malangnya dah menjadi tren memberi la ni menderma mesti difoto, lebih afdal kalau ada mock cheque besar, lembu berlori, etc etc waimah ketika mengagih wang zakat. Pemimpin all sides tidak terkecuali termasuk Tok-tok guru.

Namun lebih malang jika kita sanggup berkompromi soal hukum dan adab, hanya sekadar RM500-1000 derma buat pagar mussola dsbnya dari kufr dzimmi. Khalifah-khalifah tak mampukah? TG ADUN kawasan Islam itu dah tak mampu jugakah?

3. Si kufr pula mendakwa niatnya ikhlas dan mohon jangan dipermainkan dan dipolitikkan. Maklumlah mungkin telah dikhabarkan derma dan amalan di bulan Ramadhan sampai 700 kali ganda pahalanya. Kalau "kena" malam Lailatulqadar, lagi terangkat!

Ai ya Moi, kalau siap difoto bersama cek PASti ada political mileage! Allah tidak memerlukan foto di cyberspace dan album sebagai bukti. Hanya manusia yang taksub sahaja yang akan menganggukkan statement kufr!! Walhal hakikat sebenarnya duit rakyat marhaen dipulangkan (menurut si kufr itulah).

Dan kita masih terus bergumbira menjadi tangan di bawah tangan kufr. Kufr sudah berkerudung jambul dan derma semakin berkurang. Foto tetap foto (eh eh...sama dengan moto kita lawan tetap lawan) Barangkali TG hanya sempat tazkirah bab aurat dan tak sempat soal keikhlasan kot!

4. Kita little caliphs diserang. Apakah kita tidak berfikir dan terfikir? Mesej Raja Nazrin di suatu majlis YAPEIM Perak ada benarnya... Kita mudah mengalah dengan upah gula-gula dan aiskrim Malaysia!!

Ustazah Amoi

1. Pada tahun 1980, saya dan 16 pelajar ke Setiu untuk lawatan belajar selama beberapa hari. Disebabkan di situ tiada hotel atau asrama ketika itu, pelajar perempuan ditempat di sebuah rumah penduduk kampung dan kami pelajar lelaki diminta tidur di surau. Namun dua pelajar lelaki Iban Kristian tidak dibenarkan masuk atau tidur di surau. Alasannya tidak berkhatan dan tidak mandi hadas besar. Seorang sahabat dari Serambi Mekah berkata dia rela mati mempertahankan surau dari masukki dua lelaki Iban tu. Maka terpaksalah mereka ditempatkan di rumah penduduk tadi.

2. Baru-baru ini sibuk pula kita marah paderi Melayu beri tazkirah di gereja.

3. Namun semenjak dua menjak ini, dah boleh pula kufr masuk masjid dan mussola berceramah. Malah baru-baru ini dibenarkan ustazah amoi togel di kepala memberi ceramah dalam mussola di Ramadhan al mubarak.

Dan lebih anih bila yang berserban memBOLEHkan pula. I thought syaitan sudah dirantai di bulan Ramadhan. Alangkah baiknya jika serban itu dihadiahkan kepada ustazah bagi menutup kepalanya!

4. Kalau Tun Hasmah, Marina atau Kak Mah masuk mussola atau masjid togel tentu lain hukumnya pula. Bimbang juga jika pemimpin-pemimpin SIS akan ikut trend ustazah amoi! Apakah akan diBOLEHkan juga oleh yang berserban?

5. Hukum boleh berubah kerana politik dan kesepakatan!

p/s Mengapakah abah dan kariah surau kampung kami tak pernah ajak apek Kiam dan Panjang yang berseluar pendek serta keluarga mereka bertarawih dan moreh di surau? Apakah sebab mereka jahil ilmu ketika itu?

Nik Aziz defends DAP MP over speech in surau

August 28, 2010

KOTA BAHARU, Aug 28 – PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat has defended a DAP member of parliament for speaking in a Kajang surau on Sunday.

The Kelantan Menteri Besar said it did not contravene Islamic law and was the best way to get to know Muslims better.

“There is nothing wrong for a non-Muslim woman to speak in a surau as long as she is decently dressed,” he told reporters after presenting Aidifitri aid to orphans at Rumah Puteri Harapan Taman Sabariah here today.

Nik Aziz (picture) was commenting on the action by Serdang Member of Parliament Teo Nie Ching who delivered a speech from the prayer area of Surau Al-Huda in Kajang Sentral.

The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who is angry and disappointed with the incident urged the Selangor Islamic Council (MAIS) to investigate the matter.

Ramadhan Al Mubarak: Syaitan dirantai

Nik Aziz declines comment on Friday sermon issue

KOTA BAHARU: PAS Spiritual Leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat declined to comment on the issue of the alleged use of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's name in the prayer during the Friday sermon in several mosques in Penang.

He said it was a personal issue and did not wish to comment on such matter.

He said that when approached by reporters at his house in Kampung Pulau Melaka here Saturday.

Nik Aziz said he did not know much about the issue and it was not a political issue, and as such did not want to comment.

The Penang Umno Liaison Committee had alleged that Lim's name was switched with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's in the prayer during the Friday sermon at several mosques in the Tasik Gelugor, Permatang Pauh and Jelutong areas, but the Penang government had denied the allegation.
