Melayu, Islam dan Arak

1. Mula-mula saya hairan juga, apa maksud kempen BN semasa Pilihanraya Kecil Hulu Selangor P094 yang berbunyi 'kaki botol'

2. Rupanya ditujukan kepada calon PKR Zaid Ibrahim, bekas menteri UMNO yang kini bertanding atas tiket PKR.

3. Entah mengapa, wartawan nak ambil komen Ibrahim Ali (yang mencarut 3 kali semasa interview al jazeera).

4. Apa-apa pun, kepada pelajar Malaysia yang sedang menuntut di Uk dan Eire, yang bakal menjadi menteri, CEO, YB dan apa jua sekalipun, berhentilah minum arak.

5. Kami para pelajar perubatan dan doktor di sekolah perubatan di UK 'letih' mendengar 'rintihan' dan 'tanggungan' besar kesan alkohol kepada kesihatan, dan kos kesihatan.

6. Kalau orang sini (baca:Mat saleh yang bukan Islam) minun arak, tak apalah, mereka tidak mengerti. Kalau tak mengerti, kita educate. Kalau kita pun tak mengerti juga, sama-sama kita tambah kefahaman.

7. Kalau ada Menteri yang minum arak dulu, sama-sama kita bertaubat. Kita semua tak lepas dairpada kesilapan..

8. Kalau ada lah...

When the Atheist vs the Christian Pope

Pope 'has no UK arrest immunity', begitu tajuk berita terkini.

Tokoh Atheist yang popular dengan gelaran the militant Atheist mencadangkan agar pope ditahan jika datang ke UK dan ini sah di sisi undang-undang. Ini berikut cara Pope mengendalikan kes skandal penganiayaan kanak-kanak.

Pope akan melawat UK pada 16 to 19 September. Ini akan menjadi lawatan pertama pope sejak lawatan Pope John Paul II pada 1982.

hadiah hebat

Memenangi sebuah istana besar dan dilayan dengan serba cukup?
Senantiasa dimaafkan salah silap walaupun sering buat salah?
Dipuji oleh orang paling popular dan genius di dunia ini?

Dapatkan semua ini dengan Dhuha!

Solat Dhuha adalah sembahyang sunat 2 rakaat atau lebih. Maksimanya 12 rakaat.

Drp Abu Hurairah, Sabda Nabi saw,

"Telah berpesan kepadaku temanku (Rasulullah saw) tiga macam pesanan: Puasa 3 hari setiap bulan, sembahyang dhuha 2 rakaat dan sembahyang witir sebelum tidur" (riwayat Bukhari & Muslim)

Drp Anas, Sabda Nabi saw,

"Barang siapa sembahyang dhuha 12 rakaat, Allah akan membuat baginya istamna di syurga" (riwayat Tirmidzi & Ibnu Majah)

Rasulullah bersabda yang bermaksud,

"Siapa saja yang dapat mengerjakan solat Dhuha dengan istiqamah, akan diampuni dosanya oleh Allah, sekalipun dosa itu seluas lautan."

Rasulullah bersabda lagi,

"Solat Dhuha itu mendatangkan rezeki dan menolak kefakiran (kemiskinan), dan tidak ada yang akan memelihara solat Dhuha kecuali hanya orang-orang yang bertaubat."

Di dalam hadis yang lain pula diterangkan seperti berikut:

"Bahawasanya di syurga ada pintu yang dinamakan, "Dhuha." Maka jika kamu datang hari kiamat kelak, serulah (malaikat) penyeru: manakah orang-orang yang telah mengerjakan solat Dhuha? Inilah pintu kamu, silakan masuk ke dalam dengan rahmat Allah." Al-Tabrani


Doa;

"Ya Allah sesungguhnya waktu Dhuha, waktu dhuha-Mu, cahayanya cahayaMu,
kerinduannya kerinduanMu, kekuatannya kekuatanMu, ya Allah sekiranya rezekiku ada di langit
maka turunkannya jika ada di bumi keluarkannya.
Jika cahaya jauh pendekatannya dan jika ada hampir
maka permudahkannya dengan kebenaran dhuhaMu, cahayaMu,
kekuatanMu dan kesucianMu, berikanlah kepada hamba-hambaMu yang soleh.
Allah cucuri rahmat ke atas penghulu kami Nabi Muhammad dan atas keluarga
dan para sahabatnya serta kesejahteraan. Dan segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan seru sekalian alam."

Beating the petrol price

With the petrol prices are at a record high in the UK (and elsewhere), there are many ways for drivers to save more;

Before you go:

Pump up your tyres – Under-inflated tyres mean your car has to work harder, using more fuel. Be careful though, as over-inflated tyres can be dangerous, so check your manual to find the right pressure.

Empty the boot – Carrying unnecessary weight adds to the work your car needs to do, increasing the amount of fuel it burns.

Remove the roof racks – When you're not using roof racks, take them off – they just increase your drag factor unnecessarily.

Get your car serviced – If your car's engine hasn't been serviced when it should have, it's less likely to be operating at its most efficient. Check your manual for the manufacturer's recommendations for servicing.

Plan your journey – Getting lost isn't just frustrating, it's a waste of fuel. Plan in advance and if you don't have a SatNav, use Google Maps or similar to find the fastest route.

As you drive – Stick to the speed limit. Driving at 70mph on the motorway can result in savings of as much as 10% compared to driving at 80mph, so not only is speeding illegal, it's expensive. Of course, getting a ticket means a fine and even higher car insurance premiums, so the cost of speeding can be much more than you expect.

Be a smooth driver – Try to speed up and slow down more smoothly as this uses less fuel than speeding up only to slam on the breaks. Watch the traffic ahead and slow down early when you can by gently lifting your foot off the accelerator while the car's in gear.

Don't be too cool – Air conditioning really burns fuel, so avoid turning it on unless you really need it – wind the window down instead. Interestingly, ACT ON CO2 reports that if you're driving at speeds of 50-60mph then opening the windows is more inefficient as it increases drag, meaning you'd be better turning on the air con if the heat really is too much.

Don't be idle – If you're stuck in traffic for several minutes at a time, get in the habit of switching the engine off rather than sitting there idling. You'll burn less fuel.

Cut costs elsewhere

However efficiently you drive and wherever you shop for fuel, you're likely to pay more for your fuel – especially as the staggered fuel duty rise is introduced (it rose by 1p at the start of April and will now go up by a further 1p a litre in September and then again in January).

So, if you can bring down your motoring costs elsewhere, you could take some of the sting out of the hike.

Islam in Belgium

Belgium to ban veil

Belgium today moved to the forefront of a widening campaign to restrict the wearing of the Muslim veil by women when a key vote left it on track to become the first European country to ban the burqa and niqab in public.

The face-covering veil is set to be banned within weeks in Belgium, making it the first country in Europe to make the wearing of Muslim clothing illegal.

Women who flout the ban will face from one to seven days in jail or a fine of €15 to €25.

A vote in the full Belgian parliament is expected on April 22 and a “yes” vote seems assured given the political consensus.

Of the 500,000 Muslims living in Belgium – with big populations in Brussels and Antwerp – very few women wear the full veil, and there has been little public debate about the need to ban it.

It remains to be seen whether any bans will be challenged at the European court of human rights.

the Hijab-wearing Belgian MP

At 27, Mahinur Ozdemir is by far the youngest deputy to serve in the Belgian parliament in Brussels. As the debate about the Muslim headscarf rages on in several European nations, she has also become a lightening rod for controversy.

“I am an example of social integration, and yet I wear the headscarf,” says the Belgian national of Turkish origin.

When she was sworn in on June 23, 2009, pledging to uphold Belgian laws while clad in her hijab, murmurings of discontent could be heard among her detractors. The news of her confirmation attracted much media attention, particularly in Turkey. “At home, she would be dismissed from parliament,” noted one incredulous journalist, who had travelled from Istanbul to cover the event.
