Sedekah

PUTRAJAYA 24 Sept. - Mufti Perak, Datuk Seri Harussani Zakaria meminta individu Islam jangan berperilaku seperti orang bodoh dengan menyamakan habuan seks seperti sedekah.

Tegas beliau, kenyataan seumpama itu biasanya dikeluarkan oleh orang yang jahil tentang hukum agama apatah lagi jika diungkapkan mereka yang terlibat dalam politik.

Dalam aspek ini, beliau mengingatkan bahawa sedekah merupakan barang yang halal kepunyaan seseorang untuk diberikan kepada orang yang memerlukan.

“Seks itu zina dan kita tidak boleh menyamakan benda yang haram dengan yang halal.

“Jangan sampai terlalu bodoh membuat kenyataan seperti itu. Cukup bodohlah kalau hendak mempertahankan diri kita (dengan cara itu). Seseorang ahli politik yang berfikiran seperti itu tidak layak menjadi seorang pemimpin,” katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Beliau mengulas kenyataan Ahli Majlis Daerah Perak Tengah, Zul Hassan yang menyamakan habuan seks dengan sedekah setelah mendakwa dirinya diperangkap oleh Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR).

Zul membuat kenyataan itu selepas mengadakan pertemuan dengan Jabatan Agama Islam Perak (JAIP) untuk meminta jabatan agama itu menyiasat dan mengambil tindakan ke atas orang tertentu yang telah memfitnah, menghina dan menganiayanya kerana didakwa terlibat dalam skandal seks membabitkan wanita dari China.

Harussani berkata, menyamakan sesuatu yang haram tidak boleh dijadikan alasan semata-mata untuk melepaskan diri daripada tuduhan pihak tertentu.

“Soal diperangkap atau apa sekalipun yang haram tetap haram. Zina itu haram dan berdosa sesiapa berkata sebegitu (menyamakan imbuhan seks dengan sedekah),” katanya.

Sementara itu, Mufti Perlis, Dr. Mohd. Asri Zainul Abidin menyifatkan kenyataan Zul satu penghinaan kepada amalan sedekah yang mulia.”Saya sangat dukacita dia boleh menyamakan antara yang halal dan haram. Perkara yang jahat dan baik merupakan satu perbandingan yang begitu bercanggah dengan syariat Islam,” katanya.

Dalam pada itu, Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Ulama Malaysia (PUM), Dr. Roslan Mohd. Noor berkata, individu yang mengeluarkan kenyataan sedemikian mungkin tidak mempunyai latar belakang Islam sepenuhnya sehingga sanggup berkata sebegitu.

“Dalam hal ini, dia tidak sepatutnya menggunakan contoh sedekah bagi mempertahankan kesalahan dirinya.

“Sedekah satu amalan mulia dalam Islam berbanding rasuah atau zina yang sepatutnya dia menghindarinya,” katanya.

I dont know whether this person in particular knows what he's dealing with when he made comments to the press. I dont know how to react; angry cos he's soo stupid or sympathise with him cos he's soo shallow bout the do's n dont's of a Muslim. adultery/ fornication to be compared with sedekah?? No wonder the younger generation today is getting reckless, the examples set by the leaders today are left wanting for more....

C-sect pt. II

Time's ticking, decisions to be made, checkups to be done, gynae's not around...

Actually I have more or less decided on the specialist to be visited but I have to find time to go and visit him. We couldn't go last week cos he's away on an oversea trip until 30 Sept. Somebody suggested Shah Alam (UMRA n DEMC) and more or less that's one of the better place; the other option is ampang (APSH n PIMC). The thing is both places got pros n cons. What makes me still undecided is becos of lodging cos I'm thinking of bringing the whole family together. Shah Alam is better (lodging wise) but my instinct tells me Ampang is better for post natal care. Maybe another visit this Saturday and Monday would clear the air and help me to decide. I'm kinda hoping for the procedure to be done on 10 Oct so that I can have some free time to organise things before things get haywire for the rest of Oct n 1st week Nov..

Anyway, to those applicable,

Alumni Gathering

Salam,

Just got back from KL, old boys n girls of SEMESTA organised 'buka puasa' event in Wangsa Maju. I left home early bout noon cos had some shopping to do and got some errands in Kelana Jaya and PJ. I stopped by in Rawang to admire sport rims but the thought of spending 1k at the moment doesn't really tickle my fancy although on previous cars, the stock rims wont last for more than a week.
Anyway, reached the randesvous point at 6.30 pm. Nayie was there and within 10 mts, the crowd got bigger. when the time came, bout 100 people were there. quite a big turnout. As usual, the hoo haa's were there until bout 10.00 pm. finally I left the place at 11 pm, tired but satisfied. To overcome sleepiness, I decided to use the trunk road; took about 1 hour to reach home. That's it for now, gotta get some sleep before 'sahur' tomorrow..

Qadar Nite??

Salam,

My ever lovely auntie sent me this reminder. Just thought I'd share it with those who are concerned:

PESAN JUNJUNGAN BESAR NABI MUHAMMAD (SELAWAT DAN SALAM KEATAS BAGINDA) ADALAH MALAM QADAR BERLAKU PADA SATU MALAM DARIPADA 10 MALAM TERAKHIR (HARI GANJIL) BULAN RAMADHAN.

PETUA OLEH IMAM GHAZALI DAN LAIN-LAIN ULAMA’ UNTUK CARI MENCARI MALAM LAILATUL QADAR

JIKA AWAL RAMADHAN JATUH PADA HARI:

I) AHAD ATAU RABU – MALAM QADAR DIJANGKA BERLAKU PADA MALAM 29 RAMADHAN

II) ISNIN - MALAM QADAR DIJANGKA BERLAKU PADA MALAM 21 RAMADHAN;

III) SELASA ATAU JUMAAT - MALAM QADAR DIJANGKA BERLAKU PADA MALAM 27 RAMADHAN;

IV) KHAMIS- MALAM QADAR DIJANGKA BERLAKU PADA MALAM 25 RAMADHAN;

V) SABTU- MALAM QADAR DIJANGKA BERLAKU PADA MALAM 23 RAMADHAN

Kata Sheikh Abu Hassan bahawa mula dia baligh, dia sentiasa dapat menghidupkan lailatul qadar pada malam yang tepat mengikut petua diatas.

Berdasar petua di atas, insyaAllah malam qadar akan jatuh pada malam ke 21 Ramadhan bersamaan dengan malam selepas siang 20 September 2008

Walau bagaimanapun, janganlah ibadat pada malam ini sahaja, carilah malam qadar pada malam-malam ganjil yang lain juga!!!!

Tanda malam Qadar ialah :

1) malam itu tenang, tidak dingin dan tidak panas;

2) siangnya cahaya matahari warnanya pucat;

3) pada malam itu malaikat Jibril akan menyalami orang yang beribadat pada malam itu dan tandanya ialah kita tiba-tiba rasa sangat sayu dan kemudiannya menangis teresak-esak secara tiba-tiba.

MARILAH KITA BERAMAI-RAMAI MEMERIAHKAN SUASANA 10 MALAM TERAKHIR RAMADHAN DENGAN BERIBADAT KEPADA ALLAH SWT DENGAN IKHLAS DAN PENUH KEIMANAN, MUDAH-MUDAHAN KITA DAPAT KURNIAAN ALLAH YANG KELEBIHANNYA PAHALANYA MELEBIHI - 1000 BULAN ATAU 83 TAHUN UMUR KITA.

A doa which is highly recommended for these last 10 days of Ramadhan is as follows;


"Allah humma innaka 'afuu 'un karimun tuhib bul 'af wa fa' fu 'anni" (maknanya Ya Allah, Kamulah Tuhan yang sangat suka mengampun, ampunkanlah dosa-dosa saya).


Well, hopefully this will be beneficial to somebody...

Wassalam..

Shahrul Ramadhan pt.II..

Salam,
Didn't realise that it has been a week since I last posted the 1st part. Here's the next part:-

7. Shahrul Tilawah - in a way it's connected to no. 3 (Quran) for the obvious reason; we need to read Quran (tadarus). Reading is actually a part or it and we are encouraged to go further and get to know about tajwid, the meaning and use the quran as our guidance. Reciting the Doa after reading the verses with the intention of asking for Allah's forgiveness for the deceased, the 'pahala' that we get, the same would go to the dead ones as well.

8. Shahrul Sobri - Patience. During this holy month, we are once again being trained to be patient. Try not to get angry, not to get into unnecessary argument that could lead to hatred and try not to provoke. If we are being bombarded with provocation, just utter 'Inni solihun' which means 'I'm fasting'; if God permits, the other party would just back off. Anger management is a way of life and whether we realise or not, it's actually suppressing our tension and hopefully will benefit us in the long run, socially and health wise.

9. Shahrul 'Siam - daytime fasting. This one needs no detailed explanation but there's one word which we should avoid using to express our tiredness, that is 'uzur'. If we keep saying that word, as if we are asking God so that we will be 'uzur' before our time which in turn would render us unfit before we are due for retirement. The word 'uzur' has becoming a cliche in our society and this cancerous 'doa' should be treated as soon as possible.

10. Shahrul Rahmah - bountiful blessing by Allah to the Muslims. Hopefully with this shower of blessing, our sins (be it s,m,l) would be forgiven by Allah.

Those are some of the alternative names for Ramadhan. Hopefully we'll be able to get some extra bounty to supplement our savings for the after life. The prayers that we do 5 times a day, that is our commitment to Allah and Islam and in no way those would guarantee our avoidance from hell or our smooth passage on the way to heaven. So, we need to be clear that apart from our commitment, we need to do extras so as to make sure that we dont fall behind during the Judgement Day..

Until next time, wassalam..

C-sect

salam,
2-3 ari ni dok pening, surf sana, surf sini, trying to find a good place to welcome the 'new member'. This sudden 'peningness' is because I had a meeting on thursday with JPN people and it seemed that I'm suppose to be away for quite a few days in October. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but since wifey is expecting soon ( end of oct) and based on the latest info from her latest consultation with the local hospital gp, she needs to have a c-sect to deliver roundabout mid Oct. I was looking at my TT and heck, to do or not to do.... The previous place that we went had ceased doing delivery, hence the need to find a new place. Ahh, the advent of technology!! With some (spell a lot of) keyboard typing, I managed to find a few places on the net that discuss where-to-find-a-good-gynae-how-much and few medical centres which came highly recommended (but hoping for the bills to be lowly itemised!!). Still weighing the pros n cons cos the places are all over Klang Valley- Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Kelana Jaya n Pandan Indah. The problem is I never go to these places for checkup and normally if you r going to deliver there, u need to at least have a session with them. Time is running out, kids got religious exam next week in the evening, the following week is raya, 7-8 oct in ipoh, 9 oct got a state level competition to organise n so on...... The only day I could think of is tomorrow. Hope she's up to it to travel to KL....
Insya Allah..
