What’s next after Ramadhan? Qibla Teachers Pitch in (Source: Qibla Monthly)
Shaykh Qays Arthur:
“This Ramadhan has reached mankind in general and the Muslims in particular in a state of upheaval and disquiet, economically and politically. Allah tells us that when men are corrupt, corruption becomes apparent on earth and in societies as a sign to remind us of the greater next-worldly consequences so that we may return to the right way.
Al-Hamdulillah, wa Sallallah wa Sallama `Ala Sayyidina Rasulillah, wa Alihi wa Sahbihi wa Man Walah, Wa Ba`du;
I have submitted my official resignation letter as Chairman, Islamic Outreach ABIM, to ABIM’s Secretary General, with a requested effective date of August 31, 2011. The representatives from ABIM’s Central Executive Committee have recently met with the staff to discuss moving forward; under their leadership, a transition plan will be charted.Continue reading “My resignation as Chairman, Islamic Outreach ABIM”

It is true that Chinese Muslims can now perform Hajj in some small numbers. It is also true there are some Chinese-style mosques in certain areas. However, these developments are a “drop in the bucket”; if you consider the Muslim population in China is at least forty million. There must be some “token religious freedom” to get cooperation in business from the western world, hence these few “drops in the bucket” of liberalization.Continue reading “Uyghur Chinese Muslims subjected to prejudice”

In the early years of President Sukarno‘s Indonesia, there were many very poor villagers. Since Bung Karno depended on western money to consolidate Indonesia’s new freedom, churches were not restricted in their synonymous missionary efforts. The term “rice Christian” came about as a result of villagers on the verge of starvation, or even simple malnourishment, being offered rice in exchange for church membership.Continue reading “Zakat Distribution and “Rice Christians””
Kenyataan Media Pertubuhan-pertubuhan Pembela Islam (PEMBELA) berhubung isu pemeriksaan Pasukan Penguatkuasaan JAIS ke atas premis Dream Center milik Damansara Utama Methodist Church pada 3 Ogos 2011.
8 Ogos 2011M bersamaan 8 Ramadhan 1432H
Pertubuhan-pertubuhan Islam yang bergabung di bawah PEMBELA ingin menzahirkan sokongan terhadap tindakan Pasukan Penguatkuasaan JAIS melakukan pemeriksaan ke atas premis Dream Centre yang dimiliki Damansara Utama Methodist Church pada 3 Ogos 2011. Penganjuran “Thanksgiving Dinner” di dewan tersebut dengan melibatkan orang-orang Islam pada waktu berbuka puasa di bulan mulia Ramadhan menimbulkan pelbagai persoalan dan mendedahkan penganut agama Islam kepada upacara keagamaan bukan Islam di tempat bukan Islam.
It is not Osama, or even the universal celebration of his supposed capture.
It is the twenty American states considering a legal ban on Shari’ah activities, including legal penalties for operating businesses according to Shari’ah law. It has been described as ‘a discriminatory and wholly unfounded idea‘. How this can be in a supposedly “free country” is a great mystery.Continue reading “The real Islamophobia”
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that the blessing of Allah the Most Exalted is with those who gather and work as a unified front (jama’a) for the cause of Islam. In a hadith Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Allah’s hand is upon the jama’a.’ (Tirmidhi.)Continue reading “Being in the company of the Righteous”
The following is my brief response to the piece ‘Reclaiming higher moral ground‘:
The PEMBELA event on 7 May 2011 was held on a moderate scale. Unlike the ‘Shariah & Isu Semasa” forum back in July 2006 at Masjid Wilayah, which drew huge attendance of the public, the conservative target of the recent occasion was about 300 attendees (at least 150 turned up.) The recent gathering provided an occasion for the organizers to touch base with the leaders of Islamic NGOs while expanding our network base and to remind them of the long struggle that we must continue in light of the emerging issues, especially the ‘Al Kitab’ controversy.Continue reading “The hazards to Islamic NGOs”
