Malaysian government wants to put Malaysian women on ?leashes?
2008-05-05 04:00:00 I agree totally!Women should be restricted for they have enjoyed boundless freedom far too long and please do not give me that ?women?s right? crap. They are already walking completely naked in some parts of the modern world and you still say that it is women?s rights!?I?m 100% behind Rais Yatim on this matter. Keep it up, Rais!Usamah bin Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I stood at the door of Paradise and I found that the overwhelming majority of those who entered therein was that of poor people; and the wealthy were detained to get in. The denizens of Hell were commanded to get into Hell, and I stood upon the door of Fire and found that women were the majority therein.Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 4919Related Post:The Feminist Revolution and The Last AgeTechnorati Tags: malaysia kini,malaysiakini,malaysiatoday,malaysia election,2008 election,barisan nasional 2008 LiveJournal Tags: malaysia kini,malay...

One thing Mahathir should not do on his blog
2008-05-02 04:00:00 I would like to welcome Mahathir , our illustrious Ex-premier to the Malaysian blogosphere that is possibly monopolized by anti-Islam cum anti-Malay bloggers while the rest is possibly filled up by munafiqs and ignorant Muslims (very few good Muslim@Mu'min bloggers!).Welcome Mahathir! It is about time! Come and join the party!While I welcomed Mahathir?s decision to start a blog of his own, I do have fears that he will use the blogosphere to launch more attacks on fellow Muslims and Malays like what he has done via public forums, talks and so forth.I have been blogging long enough to see that infightings among Muslims and Malays here in Malaysia have benefitted others in a very big away. Muslims and Malays have gained little from their silly infightings but they are still too blind to see what is really going on in this country.Perhaps the Malays are indeed ?BODOH?!I strongly call upon Mahathir to use the blogosphere to strengthen the unity of Muslims and Malays in Malaysia.

We all know Viagra, what about Kamagra?

Stop bickering, said Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
2008-04-29 04:00:00 I?m not his biggest fan but he is right this time.Malaysian politics really look stupid after the recent 2008 General Election. You folks could not really see it if you are staunch supporters of any one of our political parties. You have to be standing on the sidelines (there are times when I sound like a PAS supporter but it would be wrong to say that I?m with them 100%) like I do to be able to see it. :-(The most stupid politics of all has to be those claims made by Anwar Ibrahim and his Parti Keadilan Rakyat about those who want to jump the Barisan Nasional?s ship and join the Oppositions, giving our Oppositions the opportunity to wrest control of power from the present newly elected government.This is what democracy is all about, eh? Sounds more like piracy!Do you think we common Malaysians care?!We are more worried about our livelihoods and your senseless infightings and bravados among the Barons and Overlords of Malaysian elite only make matters worst for everybody!You know, p...

Fashionable scrubs by Katherine Heigl
2008-04-28 21:33:00 I could not help but admire those fashionable medical scrubs or uniforms that you can find in online stores such as Scrubs AndBeyond Dot Com.Scrubs in reality are just medical uniforms normally worn by surgeons, nurses, and operating room personnel all over the world. I?m sure you have seen them before and most of the times they come in dull colors since they were provided by medical institutions that paid little attention to design. Yuck!Thanks to fashion, today we have lots of colorful and stylish medical scrubs and uniforms. Let?s take a look these two brands; Dickies scrubs and Cherokee medical scrubs.Great looking scrubs, aren?t they!? Before I go, you folks should know that Katherine Heigl recently launched a brand new line of scrubs and it is available only at ScrubsAndBeyond Dot Com. Compared to Cherokee medical scrubs, Katherine Heigl?s scrubs are much more colorful and those involved in the medical field here in Malaysia might find her designs most interesting.

X-Bugs? Genetically modified mosquitoes? Barisan Nasional playing God?
2008-04-28 04:00:00 I was really surprised when I first read about this yesterday. I didn?t know that Malaysia is playing with God?s creations to such extent!I wonder what would be next. Genetically modified pigs that look cute and adorable?Anyhow, there is nothing wrong with genetic engineering in Islam if we go by the following Fatwa issued on the 17th of September 2006 by IslamWeb Dot Net. I do like to ask the government one thing though, can they guarantee that those genetically modified mosquitoes would not affect our living hood, environment and ecosystem in some other mysterious ways?There is no religious prohibition for using artificial insemination or what is called genetic engineering in plants and animals eugenics, if this does not lead to any harm.

Anwar Ibrahim, don?t forget that the world?s economy is collapsing!
2008-04-27 11:00:00 It is rather sad to see that Malaysians nowadays are more interested in internal politics, enjoying themselves watching the on-going war of words between ignorant Muslim and Malay leaders in the likes of Anwar Ibrahim, Mahathir, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Najib as if they have no other worries in the world!Snap out of it, Malaysians!We have lots of other important issues and concerns that we should worry about. The most pertinent concern of all undoubtedly is the fact that the world?s economy is on brink of collapse.Are you ready for it!?Let me remind you Malaysians. You probably have more debts than savings!Wake up Malaysians especially my fellow Muslim and Malay Brothers and Sisters! In general, Muslims and Malays cannot even afford to install air conditioning units in their homes even though Malaysia is damn hot nowadays!

Parti Keadilan Rakyat and their impatient de-facto leader, Anwar Ibrahim
2008-04-26 11:00:00 Folks, here is one interesting fact that you folks should think about.PAS and DAP have been around for ages, much longer than Parti Keadilan Rakyat but they were never in a hurry to establish an Islamic State (referring to PAS) or a Socialist State (referring to DAP). PAS and DAP have been very patient and smart in fighting their separate causes.But let?s take a look at Parti Keadilan Rakyat, practically a new kid on the block (don?t mention that pathetic Nallakarupan?s party). Under the direct leadership of Anwar Ibrahim, PKR?s impatience in taking control of this country as shown recently is too damn obvious!Why? I want you folks to think real deep about this.All I can say right now is that there is something very wrong about our political scene and it doesn?t have to be all about UMNO or Barisan Nasional. Please do not ask me why I said that since I myself could not really pin it down. We were angry and disappointed with Barisan Nasional in the past and some people may have taken... More About: Leader

What ignorant Muslims should know about the establishment of an Islamic Sta
2008-04-25 08:00:00 The following Fatwa issued on the 18th of September 2003 by IslamWeb Dot Net is dedicated especially to those ignorant Muslims (some of them are well known bloggers) who frowned upon the idea of establishing an Islamic State:Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.The establishment of the Islamic State (Caliphate) is an obligation on all Muslims. With the existence of an Islamic State, Shariah (Islamic law) will be put to practice on the earth, justice and equity will be guaranteed, good will be enjoined and evil will be forbade. These requirements are immensely needed in every place and time.So how can it be thought that it is the duty of the Prophets only?It is true that the Prophets are guided by divine revelation from Allah, but the revelation with which they were guided still exists among us - the Holy Qur'an and the Noble Sunnah (Prophet's Tradition).As for the present day...

Too bad our local journalists did not have the guts to do what he can do.By the way, we may never know who is really right and who is really wrong in this classical Mahathir VS Anwar Ibrahim thing.

Interested in joining 3GB Community?
2008-04-24 10:01:00 Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, there is a new Social Networking Site in town and I would like say a few words about it.This new Social Networking Site is known as 3GB Community and as of time of writing it has well over 602 registered members and seems to be growing each day. To be honest, there is nothing really special about it; it is quite similar with the rest of our other Social Networking sites. You can make new friends, meet old acquaintances, upload photos, create albums, create blogs and do some chatting. One thing that made 3GB Community different than the rest is that it would let you listen to some great MP3 songs. That is probably nothing but some people might love it.If you are tired of entertaining perverts and intruders on other well known Social Networking Sites such as MySpace, come and join 3gb community 3gb.biz today.
I will be Prime Minister by 2011, said Anwar Ibrahim
2008-04-24 04:00:00 Long time ago, Anwar Ibrahim kept telling and reminding people that he was a former Deputy Prime Minister .After the recent 2008 Malaysian Election, he went a little bit further. Anwar Ibrahim kept telling and reminding people that one time ago he was an Acting Prime Minister.Now to my surprise, he is telling the world that he will be Prime Minister by 2011! What the heck?How did he sound like to you folks out there? Doesn?t he sound very much like a power-crazy politician or something? :-(Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, related:Two of my cousins and I came to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him).

Projects delayed amid rising costs, said Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
2008-04-23 04:00:00 This new development is quite peculiar. Surely those financial geniuses over at our Finance Ministry and Bank Negara had anticipated that the costs to develop those mega projects will escalate year by year. It always has been and will always be anywhere else in the world.Perhaps the government really has no money to finance such mega projects but then that wouldn?t make any sense at all. Perhaps the government does have money but they have problems in channeling them to finance such mega projects since it is stuck in states won by our oppositions in the recent 2008 Malaysian General Election. That doesn?t make any sense either since the Federal Government has total control over our national development plans and they can siphon out money however they like since all projects were approved by previous federal and state governments.Well then, what the heck is really going on here?I sure hope that Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is being honest with us.

2008-04-21 04:00:00 Note:The following article was first published on the 15th of August 2007.The Qur’an likened the creation of the male and the female to that of the ‘night’ and the ‘day’, implying that they complement each other “… like twin-halves of a whole.” But they are also functionally different; hence a successful and harmonious male-female relationship requires that the ‘day’ (i.e. the male) must function as ‘day’ and not try to become ‘night’, and similarly the ‘night’ (i.e., woman) must function as ‘night’ (which covers and conceals) and not try to become ‘day’. Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) ordered, “. . when a girl reaches the age of puberty nothing must be seen of her body except this and this (he pointed to the face and hands).” And so Muslim women have always covered themselves in Hijab—concealing arms, legs, bellies, head, hair, etc., in loose-fitting clothing.Since women have a basic function of bearing and rearing chi...

2008-04-20 04:00:00 Note:Thanks to Dr. Zakir Naik for making this valuable information available for everybody.The fact that consumption of pork is prohibited in Islam is well known. The following points explain various aspects of this prohibition:Pork -prohibited in Qur?anThe Qur?an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places. It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115.Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked a name other than that of Allah. [Al-Qur?an 5:3] The above verses of the Holy Qur?an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden.Pork prohibited in the BibleThe Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus and the swine, as he divideth the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

Featured Article: Can Muslims choose a woman to rule over them?
More articles from this author:2008-04-19 11:00:00 Note:The following article was first published on the 1st of August 2007THE QUR?AN AND THE RULE OF THE (MALE) IMAMThe Qur?an has delivered a stern warning concerning the choice of a ruler: ?One day We shall call together all human beings with their Imam (i.e., ruler). . . ? (Qur?an, al-Isra, 17:71). The word Imam, when used in the Qur?an as well as in everyday language, refers to the ruler who rules, governs or leads. The Qur?an also uses the word Imam to mean a way or a book which leads or guides. However, in the context of the Last Day and of divine judgment over all of mankind, it would be irresponsible for anyone to exclude the meaning of the ruler who rules, governs or leads for the word Imam in the above verse of the Qur?an. Justice (as well as elementary common sense) demands that a leader or ruler (who was misguided or rightly-guided) should be brought along with his people when they are to be judged by Allah Most High.Allah Most High Himself chose an Imam for mankind when H...
