Kesan buruk cerita hantu

Tertarik dengan satu artikel dalam Utusan Malaysia bertajuk ‘Kesan buruk cerita hantu’, membuatkan saya terpanggil untuk menulis sesuatu. Lebih-lebih lagi ia diselit dengan sedikit penerangan drp SS Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, Mufti Kerajaan Negeri Perlis.

Sememangnya cerita hantu dan seram adalah cerita yang tidak mungkin saya tonton. Kalau ada rakan yang mengajak untuk menonton, maka sudah pasti jawapannya, “Sorry, aku kurang berminat dengan cerita macam ni.”

Saya bersetuju sekali dengan pendapat yang mengatakan bahawa cerita hantu sebenarnya tidak membangunkan minda masyarakat & sekadar hiburan kosong semata. Selain tidak membantu pembentukan insan, ia juga adakalanya memperbodohkan masyarakat. Fikiran orang Melayu kita masih dijajah oleh ideologi hantu & khurafat (terutamanya filem Malaysia). Kita sepatutnya bergerak maju ke hadapan, tidak perlu lagi dimomok & disajikan dengan unsur hantu khurafat yang boleh merosakkan aqidah kita sebagai umat Islam. Malangya negara kita masih lagi menayangkan filem-filem sebegini, juga pameran-pameran hantu jembalang yang mendapat tentangan hebat daripada para ilmuan Islam.

Jika ada yang berpendapat bahawa cerita hantu hanyalah untuk hiburan semata, tidaklah salah asalkan ia tidak keterlaluan dan bebas daripada unsur khurafat. Mungkin ada antara cerita hantu tersebut yang mengandungi unsur humor & pengajaran yang betul. Namun sudah tiba masanya kita berfikir sedikit, gunakan akal fikiran yang waras dalam menilai hal ini.

Wassalam.

Does Islam Promote Violence?

Excerpt from the 20 Most Common Questions asked by Non-Muslims (who have some knowledge of Islam), by Dr. Zakir Abdul Karim Naik.
——————————————–

DOES ISLAM PROMOTE VIOLENCE?

Question:

Doesn’t Islam promote violence, bloodshed and brutality since the Qur’an says that Muslims should kill the kuffar where ever they find them?

Answer:

A few selected verses from the Qur’an are often misquoted to perpetuate the myth that Islam promotes violence, and exhorts its followers to kill those outside the pale of Islam.

1. Verse from Surah Taubah

The following verse from Surah Taubah is very often quoted by critics of Islam, to show that Islam promotes violence, bloodshed and brutality:

“Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar) where ever you find them.”
[Al-Qur’an 9:5]

2. Context of verse is during battlefield

Critics of Islam actually quote this verse out of context. In order to understand the context, we need to read from verse 1 of this surah. It says that there was a peace treaty between the Muslims and the Mushriqs (pagans) of Makkah. This treaty was violated by the Mushriqs of Makkah. A period of four months was given to the Mushriqs of Makkah to make amends. Otherwise war would be declared against them. Verse 5 of Surah Taubah says:

“But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is oft-forgiving, Most merciful.”
[Al-Qur’an 9:5]

This verse is quoted during a battle.

3. Example of war between America and Vietnam

We know that America was once at war with Vietnam. Suppose the President of America or the General of the American Army told the American soldiers during the war: “Wherever you find the Vietnamese, kill them”. Today if I say that the American President said, “Wherever you find Vietnamese, kill them” without giving the context, I will make him sound like a butcher. But if I quote him in context, that he said it during a war, it will sound very logical, as he was trying to boost the morale of the American soldiers during the war.

4. Verse 9:5 quoted to boost morale of Muslims during battle

Similarly in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 the Qur’an says, “Kill the Mushriqs where ever you find them”, during a battle to boost the morale of the Muslim soldiers. What the Qur’an is telling Muslim soldiers is, don’t be afraid during battle; wherever you find the enemies kill them.

5. Shourie jumps from verse 5 to verse 7

Arun Shourie is one of the staunchest (*most firm/steadfast) critics of Islam in India. He quotes the same verse, Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 in his book ‘The World of Fatwahs’, on page 572. After quoting verse 5 he jumps to verse 7 of Surah Taubah. Any sensible person will realise that he has skipped verse 6.

6. Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer

Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer to the allegation that Islam promotes violence, brutality and bloodshed. It says:

“If one amongst the pagans asks thee for asylum (*refuge), grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure that is because they are men without knowledge.”
[Al-Qur’an 9:6]

The Qur’an not only says that a Mushriq seeking asylum during the battle should be granted refuge, but also that he should be escorted to a secure place. In the present international scenario, even a kind, peace-loving army General, during a battle, may let the enemy soldiers go free, if they want peace. But which army General will ever tell his soldiers, that if the enemy soldiers want peace during a battle, don’t just let them go free, but also escort them to a place of security?

This is exactly what Allah (swt) says in the Glorious Qur’an to promote peace in the world.

A year at IIUM

Saturday, 3rd May 2008, it has been a year for me as an assistant lecturer at IIUM since I reported duty on Thursday, 3rd May 2007. I am so glad that I am still here till today, being one of the IIUM family members. The journey that I have to go through is still long and full of challenges. I wish I would be able to face all the tribulations ahead, Insya Allah.

I was not alone on my first day at IIUM. I reported my duty together with another friend of mine, Noor Illiey, who is also an assistant lecturer at the same department, namely Department of Biotechnology Engineering.  She’s currently on study leave, doing her MPhil/PhD at the University of Manchester. Wish her all the best! And Insya Allah, I’ll be also on study leave start from July this year. I’ll be in USM, Penang for another year to complete my Masters study there.

I guess that’s only my remarks for this special date. Lot of things I still have to learn from all of the IIUM community. Let’s together create a knowledge sharing environment by using this weblog services offered by the university. Wish everyone the best in every steps taken leading to the success in both hereafter and in this temporary world.

Perlis, TV3 to discuss mufti’s guidelines

As published by the NST, Friday 2nd May 2008

KANGAR: The state government will meet organisers of TV3’s Jom Heboh carnival today to discuss guidelines suggested by state mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin.

Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Md Isa Sabu hoped the television station would consider some of the guidelines.

He said the event, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, would continue regardless of the outcome of the meeting.

Among Mohd Asri’s concerns were the concert segment and choice of performers at the concert. He called on organisers to exclude aspects which promoted “values of stupidity that insult the people’s intelligence”.

He was also against TV3 programmes which promoted khurafat (practices which are against Islamic teachings), and called on the TV station to respect prayer times for Muslims.
Md Isa said the mufti’s suggestions were constructive, and should be considered.

The guidelines may be applied to all entertainment events in Perlis.

“The mufti was not saying that Jom Heboh was haram. He was not against the event. He did not want the event to lead to complaints and be a bad influence on people.

“We will meet with Jom Heboh organisers today to discuss the guidelines,” he said after opening Rukun Tetangga bases in Taman Hijrah phase 1 and 2 here yesterday.

On the mufti’s concern over Jom Heboh performers, particularly rocker and television host Faizal Tahir, Md Isa said that was not the main issue.

“I am not familiar with Faizal Tahir. I am more familiar with artistes from my generation, such as Datuk Sharifah Aini, Datuk S.M. Salim and the late Ahmad Jais.

“The mufti knows artistes such as Faizal and we will consider his opinion. If his involvement goes against the suggested guidelines, then we will discuss it with the Jom Heboh organisers,” he said.

Mohd Asri was unhappy with Faizal’s inclusion, describing the artiste as being confused about whether he “was a person or Superman”.

Faizal recently ended a three-month ban from live television concerts imposed by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission

Meanwhile, a TV3 corporate communications spokes- man said the network adhered to strict guidelines during its Jom Heboh concert.

“We always brief the audience before showtime to advise them to sit down during performances. We warn them against jumping about or throwing objects on the stage.”

The spokesman said all performances came to a halt during Muslim prayer times.

Football: Boycott Chelsea?

As published by AFP

Muslim group urges Malaysians to boycott Chelsea football tour

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) — Muslim leaders on Sunday urged Malaysians to boycott a visit by English football giants Chelsea in protest at the move to let their Israeli coach and defender into the country.

Spokesman Mohamad Azmi Abdul Hamid said the coalition of 21 Muslim groups would hold a mass protest at the tour match if the government did not bar coach Avram Grant and player Tal Ben Haim.

“Malaysians should boycott the match,” Mohamad Azmi said. “We should unite with the Palestinian people and fight for an independent homeland for them.”

Malaysia does not have diplomatic ties with Israel and its citizens must obtain special permission to travel here.

On Friday, the group submitted a memorandum to the home ministry opposing the government’s decision to allow the Israeli pair into the country.

“The reason for the travel ban to Malaysia is to isolate Israel which is a rogue state. If the Israeli footballers are allowed in, the government will be considered as being insensitive to the Palestinian people,” Mohamad Azmi said.

He warned that if Grant and Ben Haim are allowed into Malaysia, the coalition would picket Chelsea’s match against a Malaysian team on July 29.

“Definitely, we will mobilise the public and hold a protest outside the stadium,” he said.

Foreign Minister Rais Yatim has confirmed Malaysia had no “objections” to admitting the two, allaying fears that Chelsea may cancel the visit.

“They are a sports team with two Israeli members. We don’t see it as something wrong,” he said.

The English title contenders are among the most popular teams in Malaysia, where sports fans avidly follow the Premier League on satellite television.

Chelsea are also planning to play in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou on July 23 on their pre-season Asian tour.

Malaysia’s population is dominated by Muslim Malays, but the nation is also home to large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities.

Kaspersky Antivirus

As published in The Star, Thursday 24th April 2008

Kaspersky sets up regional office in Malaysia

RUSSIAN secure-content management solutions company Kaspersky Lab has opened its South-East Asia regional office in Malaysia.

The office is located in Phileo Damansara, Petaling Jaya, but no other details on the facility were provided in Kaspersky’s press statement.

Harry Cheung, managing director of Asia Pacific at Kaspersky, said Malaysia was chosen because it is situated centrally within the SEA region.

“Malaysia has a long history with Kaspersky. Strong support from the Education Ministry in school projects has given Kaspersky the confidence to make this move,” he said in the press statement.

Kaspersky said it would be recruiting more partners to target business segments such as retail, mobile phone, small- to large-scale enterprises, government sector, and Internet services.

The opening of the regional office is in conjunction with the setting up of the five global headquarters (in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North and South America, Asia-Pacific and Japan) by Kaspersky to support its overseas markets better.

———————————-

Personally, I would say that Kaspersky is one of the best antivirus software, in terms of many aspects, i.e., practicality, ease of control and update, broad spectrum of virus database, etc. I believe that others may agree with me. I noticed that some other universities have also had agreement with Kaspersky. I guess it’s the time for our university (ITD) to move ahead too, so that our internet and network systems will be much more secure and has better resistance to virus attack.

RINTIHAN LARA SEORANG ANAK

By: Mr. Zulfahami Zahari

Ke pangkuan mama yg Erni dan Adik Eti rindui. Mama, sekali lagi Erni ‘bertemu’ mama setelah lama kita terpisah jauh. Sekali lagi Erni ingin mengemukakan soalan yg sama, mama! Soalan yg sudah sering Erni tanyakan pada mama dan juga pada Tuhan. Bilakah agaknya Tuhan akan mendengar dan mengabulkan permintaan Erni? Bilakah agaknya hidup Erni dan Adik Eti akan berubah corak dan rentaknya? Erni tahu mama sayangkan kami, kan? Nenek juga sayangkan kami. Namum mama dah tak dapat belai Erni dan Adik Eti mcm dulu. Erni tidak dapat mencium mama, menghidu haruman kenanga yg selalu mama selitkan pd sanggul mama.

Oh ya mama! Pohon kenanga di halaman rumah masih terjaga rapi, malah semakin lebat bunganya. Namun, pokok itu juga yg makcik benci. Maksud Erni, makcik tak suka apabila Erni dan Adik Eti bersungguh-sungguh menjaga pohon kesayangan mama. Pernah satu ketika makcik suruh papa tebang pokok itu. Katanya banyak kumbang, nanti Rafi digigitnya. Sebenarnya makcik berbohong, Erni dan Adik Eti selalu pungut dan bunuh kumbang-kumbang di pohon kenanga itu. Makcik sengaja sakit hati melihat kami bahagia menjaga pohon itu. Makcik suka melihat kami menangis dan menderita, mama! Makcik benci melihat kami gembira.

Mama nak tau tentang Adik Eti? Kasihan dia, mama. Dia baru saja tertidur. Tidurnya dlm tangisan. Berkali-kali dia ajak Erni berjumpa mama. Namun apatah daya Erni, mama? Perginya mama tak dapat kami susuli, jauhnya mama tak dapat kami ziarahi. Berkali-kali juga Erni cuba terangkan pd Adik Eti tapi dia bagaikan sengaja tidak mahu mengerti. Oh, mama bertanya mengapa Adik Eti menangis? Pilu kisahnya mama tetapi mama mesti berjanji tidak akan bersedih ya, mama? Sebenarnya petang tadi makcik suruh Erni bakar sampah di belakang rumah. Ermi patuh mama, Erni tidak membantah kerana Erni tahu penangannya kalau membantah. Lagi pun Erni suka tolong mama bakar sampah dulu, kan mama?

Semasa Erni bakar sampah, Adik Eti dan Rafi ada sama. Mama dah kenal Rafi kan? Erni dah pernah ceritakan pd mama dulu. Sekarang ni Rafi dah berumur empat tahun, hanya dua tahun muda drp Adik Eti. Sbnrnya kami tak berapa gemar bermain dgn Rafi. Mama tahu kenapa? Rafi bukannya boleh salah sikit. Raungannya satu kampung boleh dengar. Jadi Erni dan Adik Eti juga yg terima habuannya. Kalau tak diajak bermain pun, dia menangis juga. Begitu sengsara hidup kami, mama! Oh ya, petang td mcm biasa Adik Eti peluk patung yg mama buatkan untuknya dulu. Mama, patung itulah yg menjadi penawar rindu Adik Eti pd mama. Dipeluk setiap malam, dikelek ke hulu ke hilir, itulah pelerai rindunya buat mama, namun sayangnya mama, anak patung tu sudah bertukar rupa, berubah wajah dan pilu Erni memandangnya mama, apatah lagi adik Eti!

Mama hendak tahu sebabnya? Entah mengapa, ptg td Rafi cuba merebut patung tersebut drp Adik Eti. Biasanya Rafi tak mcm tu. Adik Eti memang pantang kalau anak patungnya diusik. Kalau mainan lain, Adik Eti mengalah tetapi kali ni tidak! Adik Eti kelihatan bersungguh-sungguh. Tidak rela pelerai rindunya diusik org lain. Tiba-tiba papa dan makcik keluar! Papa bertanya kpd Erni apa yg berlaku, namun Erni membisu. Maafkan Erni mama kalau mama menyangka Erni tak mahu membela Adik Eti. Bukan tak mahu tetapi Erni tahu, tiada akan percayakan kata-kata Erni. Biar apa pun yg Erni katakan, tetap bersalah, Erni atau Adik Eti. Adik Eti terus berebutkan anak patung itu tanpa mempedulikan kehadiran papa. Papa naik marah dan terus merampasnya dan mahu menghumbankan ke dlm api. Erni lekas-lekas menerpa papa. Erni cuba menyelamatkan anak patung itu tetapi mama tahu apa yg papa lakukan? Papa tolak Erni dan terus membuangnya ke dlm api. Kemudian papa terus memujuk Rafi dan membawanya masuk ke dlm rumah.

Mama nak tahu? Sewaktu papa tolak tadi, Erni terjatuh dan lengan Erni terkena plastic yang masih berbara. Mama bertanya, sakit atau tidak? Tidak mama! Tidak sakit langsung tetapi yang kian sakit adalah hati Erni. Pedih! Perit! Kalau makcik yang buat begitu, tak mengapa! Namun papa yang selama ini menjadi tempat kami bermanja sanggup buat kami begini… Kalaulah mama dapat melihat senyuman di bibir makcik ketika itu.., makcik menang, mama! Makcik menang tanpa perlu berjuang menghasut papa. Kenapa papa sanggup buat kami begini sedangkan kami ini anak-anaknya. Oh ya! Erni sempat menyelamatkan anak patung tersebut, mama. Erni kuis ke tepi dengan menggunakan sebatang kayu. Erni dapat selamatkannya tapi ia sudah bertukar rupa. Sebahagiannya hangus. Tentu pilu bila mama memandangnya. Erni rasakan seperti Erni yang dibakar papa.

Sewaktu makan malam tadi, papa nampak menyesal. Papa ubatkan luka di tangan Erni. Papa berjanji untuk belikan Adik Eti anak patung baru, tapi semua tu tak guna. Kasihan adik Eti, Erni bungkus anak patung tu dengan plastik supaya abunya tidak mengotori lantai rumah. Itulah yang dicium dengan deraian air mata sehingga dia tertidur dalam kepiluan. Nanti Erni akan cuba cari kain perca lain untuk membaiki patung itu. Erni cuba buat secantik yang mama buat. Erni cuba ya, mama!

Nenek? Mama suruh Erni minta tolong daripadanya buatkan anak patung itu? Tak mungkin, mama. Erni sendiri sudah terlalu lama tidak bertemu dengan nenek. Bukan kami dah lupa atau membencinya. Dulu, memang nenek yang menjaga kami. Nenek tidak pernah meninggalkan kami sendirian, ada saja sendanya, ada saja ceritanya dan baik sungguh layanannya. Namun itu cerita dulu-dulu. Sayangnya mama, bahagia hanya sementara. Segala-galanya berubah apila makcik dan Rafi hadir dalam rumah ini. Pada mulanya makcik baik dan penyayang dan papa mengajar kami memanggilnya emak! Tetapi segalanya hanya sementara saja. Makcik sendiri akhirnya tidak mahu lagi membahasakan dirinya emak! Kami bukan anaknya, mama!

Nenek sendiri tidak tertahan disindir dan diperli setiap masa. Nenek tidak sanggup melihat kami ditengking, diherdik saban ketika. Malah, nenek pernah dikatakan ingin menghabiskan hartanya apabila memecahkan pinggan yang dibeli makcik. Nenek bukan sengaja, mama! Nenek terlepas pinggan tersebut apabila mengemas meja selepas makcik makan. Perli dan sindiran makcik tidak berbalaoi dengan kesalahan yang dilakukan nenek. Mulanya dahulu, papa sering juga membela kami, tapi kini… papa sendiri sudah hilang kasihnya. Apalah yang dapat nenek katakan, anaknya sendiri sudah tiada untuk membela. Akhirnya, nenek pulang ke kampung. Nenek minta pada papa untuk memelihara kami di kampung tetapi papa tidak benarkan. Erni pun hairan kenapa papa tak benarkan. Kalau dah tak sanggup memberi kasih saying kepada kami, apa salahnya orang lain membelai kami, mama! Papa bagaikan sengaja mahu menyeksa kami. Bila agaknya Erni dapat mengikut mama? Biar papa puas hati!

Dulu, ada juga papa bawa kami pulang ke kampung, tapi makcik dan Rafi tak ikut sama. Mungkin makcik rasa jijik dengan kehidupan di kampung. Papa kalau balik hanya satu malam sahaja, tetapi sekarang ini, kami dah lama tak balik kampung jumpa nenek. Kalau Erni tanya pada papa, papa kata tak sempat dan marah-marah. Kalau kami nak habiskan cuti sekolah di kampung pun papa tak benarkan. Papa kata, kasihan adik Rafi tiada kawan hendak bermain bersama-sama. Erni tahu, semuanya bohong, mama! Sebenarnya papa dan makcik tak benarkannya kerani kami dijadikan tempat melepaskan kemarahan mereka. Siapa lagi yang hendak mereka tengking? Kalau ikutkan hati Erni, dah lama Erni bawa adik Eti lari dari rumah.. tetapi mana harus pergi? Ke rumah Nenek? Pasti papa dapat mencari kami dan sudah tentu lebih buruk padahnya nanti. Ataupun, Erni rasa lebih baik Erni menyusuli mama, namun… belum masanya selagi Tuhan tak izinkan. Berdosakah kalau Erni selalu berdoa minta agar Erni cepat menyusuli mama? Berdosakah Erni memohon begitu? Erni rasakan…

“Hei, Erni! Apa yang kau buat malam-malam buta ni, hah? Kenapa tak tutup lampu? Kau ingat banyak duit papa nak bayar bil api nanti?”…

Mama, mama dengarkan? Mama dengar suara di luar sana? Suara itulah yang merampas kasih saying papa daripada kami. Kali ini Erni tidak mahu mengalah. Biar dia terpekik terlolong di luar. Makcik dah menang petang tadi. Biarlah Erni menang pula..

“Ei! Bukak pintu ni! Dah pekak ke? Ke dah tak bernyawa lagi? Bukak pintu ni cepat…!!!”

Mama, Erni terpaksa mengalah lagi, mama. Demi adik Eti… Tolonglah mama.

Kekeliruan Identiti Menjadikan Kita Hilang Arah

Orang politik melayu-muslim kita, hampir kesemua aliran yang ada sedang kegilaan mendapatkan kuasa. Bagaikan seseorang yang sedang jatuh cinta yang terlampau dan sanggup mengorbankan apa sahaja. Bak kata P.Ramlee: “Berkorban apa saja, harta ataupun nyawa. Itulah kasih mesra, sejati dan mulia. Kepentingan sendiri tidak diingini, bahgia kekasih saja yang diharapi”.

Saya baru sahaja berjumpa dengan YAB Perdana Menteri secara peribadi di pejabatnya pada hari Khamis lepas. Saya memberikan pandangan dalam beberapa perkara. Antaranya mengenai tuntutan memaklumkan keislaman seseorang yang baru menganut Islam kepada keluarga. Saya bertanya maksud beliau, kerana saya amat tidak bersetuju jika itu dijadikan syarat.

Beliau memberitahu kepada saya itu bukan syarat pengesahan pendaftaran. Beliau akan membuat penjelasan nanti. Saya berterima kasih dan lega. Jika tidak, saudara-saudara muslim kita yang baru akan menjadi mangsa, sama ada tekanan keluarga atau tekanan undang-undang. Maka betapa Islam yang menjadi agama rasmi negara ini, penganutnya pula tertindas. Di manakah identiti islam dalam negara ini?

Bola Sepak: Warga Israel ke Malaysia?

Baru-baru ini, satu keputusan yang dikira agak mengejutkan telah dibuat oleh pihak kerajaan dengan membenarkan dua Warga Israel, iaitu Avram Grant (Jurulatih Chelsea) dan juga Tal Ben Haim (midfielder Chelsea) datang ke Malaysia pada Julai ini sempena mini-Asian Tour pasukan bola sepak Chelsea. Lihat di sini untuk berita penuh: Chelsea’s Grant and Tal cleared to come to Kuala Lumpur

Keputusan ini walaubagaimana pun dibantah oleh banyak NGO di Malaysia kerana di samping tidak mempunyai sebarang hubungan diplomatik dengan Israel, kita juga sebagai umat Islam harus sentiasa peka pada isu keganasan/kekejaman/rompakan Israel di bumi Palestin dan penderitaan saudara kita di sana yang dinafikan hak mereka oleh Israel. Satu berita telah disiarkan di MalaysiaKini yang membantah kedatangan mereka dan meminta pihak Kementerian Luar menimbang semula keputusan tersebut. Lihat Israel: Rais tidak peka isu Palestin

Kita sebenarnya bimbang kalau hari ini kita membenarkan mereka datang, kelak di kemudian hari kita akan beri lebih daripada ini. Israel dan Yahudi adalah musuh Islam & umat Islam yang sangat nyata!

Wassalam.
