The Human Rights Tradition in Islam By Muddathir ‘Abd al-Rahim. Westport, USA: Praeger Publishers, 2005. Pp257. ISBN: 0275980456. Reviewed by Murad Wilfried Hofmann.
This book is the third of a series produced by Praeger on Human Rights in the world’s major religions, i.e in the Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Its Sudanese author, Dr. ‘Abd al-Rahim, since 1997 professor of political sciences and Islamic studies at the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC) in Kuala Lumpur, is eminently suited for presenting this subject, given his first hand knowledge of both East and West and his previous diplomatic career.

I express my utmost gratitude to Allah SWT for giving me the strength and wisdom to undertake such a heavy responsibility throughout these years to serve as the Muslim Lawyers Association of Malaysia (PPMM)’s vice president.
It has been personally rewarding; I have truly felt welcome and accepted, and the PPMM exco members have been close friends to me. It was thus with a very heavy heart that I have submitted my official letter of resignation as PPMM’s vice president, effective immediately.

Pada 25 November 2013, salah sebuah media utama Barat, Reuters, telah melaporkan pandangan yang dikemukakan Heiner Bielefeldt, Jurulapor Khas Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu bagi Kebebasan Beragama, yang menggesa agar kerajaan Malaysia mengubah keputusannya melarang penggunaan nama Allah bagi menterjemahkan maksud Tuhan di kalangan penganut agama Kristian. Menurut beliau, hal-hal berkaitan beragama tidak sewajarnya dikawal kerajaan sesebuah Negara. Di dalam kenyataan beliau, disebutkan “…It cannot be the business of the State to shape or reshape religious traditions, nor can the State claim any binding authority in the interpretation of religious sources or in the definition of the tenets of faith.”Continue reading “Campurtangan isu kalimah Allah cemar kedaulatan negara”
On 27th December 2013, the Malaysian Bar issued a statement in support of the call by the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (“SUHAKAM”), and its Chairman, Tan Sri Hasmy Agam, for Malaysia to look seriously into accelerating the pace of ratification of the six remaining core United Nations instruments on human rights. I wish to reply to some of the issues mentioned in the statement. Relevant Malaysian Bar’s points in italics, my comments in plain font.

During secondary school and university, I tried hard to keep journals, because that’s what ‘aspiring writers’ are supposed to do. But I was inconsistent, and never got too much traction writing only for myself. Far more significant and memorable were the personal letters I wrote to a very few close friends during that time. I must admit that I learned to write because of them, for they really encouraged me.
