Tahaluf Siyasi

The phrase "tahaluf siyasi" is very famous among Muslims who are involved actively in Muslim's Body or Movement in various field; politics, education, economy and others. Well, tahaluf siyasi from my understanding is a mutual understanding made by Muslims and others including non-muslims to face same enemies or hoes...

Muslim scholars viewed differently about this issue. For example, Sheikh Muhammad Qutb dan al-Syeikh al-Imam Abu Nasr Muhammad bin Abdullah said that we are not allowed to cooperate with non-muslims with any reasons, while Yusuf al-Qaradhawi , Dr Mustoffa al-Tohhan , al-Syeikh Muhammad Ahmad al-Rasyid , Doktor Solah al-Showi dan Doktor Munir Ghahdban said as a muslim, we can do some sort of agreement, or build cooperation with non-muslims by using evidences from Seerah of our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh.A very good example is the cooperation and unique relationship betweeen Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his non-muslim uncle, Abu Thalib. Abu Thalib took care of him after Abdul Mutalib died. He never compromises with other non-muslims who wanted to kill our Prophet though he was offered with lots of things. Next, we can see many agreements made by Rasulullah with Jewish, Bani Khazaah, King Najasyi, Bani Hashim and so on.

In my opinion, it is not wrong to cooperate with non-muslims. However, we should use and optimize well the benefits that we get from that cooperation, assuring everything is done because of Allah. Currently, in our country, we can see again that kind of cooperation especially made by political parties. For instant, PAS (parti Islam semalaysia) cooperate with DAP and PKR which are dominated by non-muslims and secular muslim. Next, PAS also opens its membership to non-Muslims called Dewan Penyokong PAS mostly joined by non-muslims. UMNO (known as pure malay political party) combined with MCA, MIC, and other non-muslim political parties.

The questions are, which party (UMNO or PAS) fully utilised the conditions that Islam wanted when they do Tahaluf Siyasi....wallahualam

Budak Sekolah Aku...

Aku ni lepas jer UPSR, telah sayugianya diterima masuk untuk belajar di Sekolah Menengah Agama Izzuddin Shah, berlokasi di Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Ipoh. Nak kata tersohor tu, takler, tapi kat Perak kira terkenal gak. Memang bila mula2 masuk sekolah nih, agak terkejut jugak coz tarbiah kat situ memang lain macam skit. bukan lain macam yang tak baik, tapi amat2 le bagus keadaannya. Mana taknyer, subuh pukul 5.30 mesti ader orang kejut sama ader warden atau abg2 senior yang pada aku boleh pangil ustaz sesetengahnya. Ader yang ketuk katil, ader yang ketuk pintu, yang spike ala2 bola tampar. Pengalaman aku plak pernah kena pkul ngan kayu ngan ustaz..memang sakit tapi berbaloi coz dia wat cam tuh coz nak buat aku sedar bahawa solat tu penting dan tidur waktu melalaikan. Then solat jemaah wajib 5 waktu tuh, kalau ader yang masbuq atau imam kedua alamat kena denda la (terutama junior la). Waktu makan lak, punyer la berbaris panjang..bukan setakat barisan bentuk L..bentuk U, bentuk Q pun boleh jadi kalau tak kena time....kalau bulan puaser plak, memang tension..kita dah le letih plus lapar..kenele plak beratur panjang...keadaan tu memang mengajar erti kesabaran. Sesetengah senior plak waktu tu ader yang selambe badak memotong barisan camtuh jer..kami yang junior ni terkulat2 jer la (tarbiah di musolla tu tak dibawa ke dewan makan..huhu). Tapi tak semua la, yang jenis2 tak dapat hidayah Allah jer wat cam tuh, ramai lagi senior yang baik dan bersopan ketika di dewan makan.

Hmm..kat asrama lak memang best coz duduk ramai..katil double decker..aku ingat lagi waktu first2 masuk kene pakai kelambu..wajib tuh...tak tau aper rasionalnyer..nak kata banyak nyamuk..takle pun...sebenarnya aku malas waktuh pagi esoknyer..kadang2 mengelat gak tak pakai kelambu..then Ketua Pelajar yang jaga dorm tu mesti tegur, so kene le pasang camner pun...katil kalau tak kemas, alamat kene denda la...macam2 denda..ader yang kene pumping, (ini memang aku tak suka dan tak boleh..hehe), hafal surah2, bersih tandas, kene kejut orang subuh, wajib wat solat2 sunat dan sebagai nyer..kesimpulannye, denda2 ni semua mendidik dan mentarbiah kita agar mejadi muslim yang oleh..insyallah...

Senang cerita, banyak le bende best yang aku dapat masa aku jadi pelajr kat sekolah ni. Hairannye dan terkejutnya aku...bila ader budak sekolah aku yang lepas habis pengajiannya di sekolah ni jadi yang bukan2.....huhuh

Ader diantaranya yang aku tahu jadi artis, masuk realiti Tv (Bukan nak kutuk jadi artis tak halal kerjanya, tapi banyak perkara yang memudhkan mereka terjebak dalam maksiat)...ader yang jadi model (tak kisahlah kalau model yang elok menutup aurat dan menjaga batas pergaulan lelaki dan wanita..tapi..nama model ni..memang benda2 yang dilarang Islam lah yang nak dibuatnye..nauzubillah dan yang paling sedih adalah bila ader yang masuk agama lain dan menjadi pendakyah agama tuh..harap2 die dan bertaubat dan kembali ke agama yang diredhai Allah

Yang menjadi persoalan ini, adakah sistem tarbiyyah yang dijalankan kat sekolah aku tuh tidak benar2 berkesan atau apa? di mana silapnya?
Aku rasa disebabkan environment yang baguih cam tuh le yang wat aku jadi insan muslim, insyallah..tapi kenapa ader gak yang jadi nhtah apa2 per

Allhu Rabbi

Published or Not?

This dilemma has encompassed myself since last month (May)..is how should I published my short stories..contacting several publisher who refused to work with me coz I know my short stories are not marketable in Malaysia..or maybe they do not achieve the standard quality publishers want...

I have called my lecturer, Dr. Jayakaran Mukundan, asking to get his advice...he still keep on revising my short story and will email me in a shortwhile. Prof. Edwin gives a full support upon this work eventhough it is very difficult for us to use our own literary works in class that we teach.

I can actually self-published it but I want to do it by using proper channel; through publisher. Silverfish Books, Ammeen Bookstore, Saba Islamic Media are the publisher that I tried to use their service and for the sake of the copywright of my works but some of them refused totally my works, and some still didn't reply my email.

However I really appreciate the comment I got from Zaipa Ibrahim, a Malaysian Writer who is now established in US and she's known with her famous novel based on Malaysia ..- The Gift-..she gave a very positive comment when replying my email...really inspiring and aspiring, motivating and full of sincerity

"If you write, then you are a writer Just waiting for the right time to get published in the literary world, insyaAllah. I only managed to read through one of your short stories – the serban. You are doing a good job. It reminded me of when I first penned down a short story back in high school. Keep polishing your writings and who knows you’ll become a published writer one day."Zaipah Ibrahim
Auhor of “The Gift”
