'Moderate' Malaysia allows women to preach Islam: Is this the moderate Islam we've been waiting for?
Various naïve parties, abetted by a dhimmified and (at best) ignorant media apparatus, are nearly certain to happily go along with the idea that Malaysia has somehow conjured up a 'moderate, modern' Islam by allowing a handful of women into the 'male dominated' bastion of Islamic preaching. From "In Malaysia, Muslim preachers now wear tudung", by Debra Chong, The Malaysian Insider, 27 November 2011:
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 — Already accounting for more than 60 per cent of undergraduates and over half of civil servants, Malay-Muslim women are now breaking into the male bastion of Islamic preaching.
In a New York Times (NYT) article published yesterday, it was reported that two local new reality TV programmes are shining a spotlight on the rise of women in the male-dominated arena of religion.
The reason for this phenomena, the paper appeared to suggest, was because there was a significant gender role in Islam that could only be filled by women.
“We need women preachers, rather than men,” 21-year-old Siti Adibah Zulkepli, a contestant on the reality TV show “Solehah” (translated as “pious” in Arabic) was cited as saying by the NYT.“Because they don’t face what we are facing — health problems, how to manage the house, how to manage the children. The woman knows better,” she added.It also cited Greg Barton, acting director of the Center for Islam and the Modern World at Monash University in Melbourne, as saying it would be a mistake to dismiss the significance of Malaysian women’s expanding engagement in Islamic education.
The existence of these women 'preachers', of course, does absolutely nothing to negate Islamic ideology's degradation of women. It does nothing to change Islamic law's overall stance towards women as, in essence, second class citizens and as virtual property of their male relatives. It does not change by one iota these women's 'rights' under Sharia:Both “Solehah” and “Ustazah Pilihan”, which the newspaper translated as “‘ideal female preacher’ in Malay” are burnishing the image of female preachers here and show how women “can shape and nurture potential leaders of the future”, the paper said.Citing Zaleha Kamaruddin, the first female rector appointed to head the International Islamic University here, the NYT said Malaysia was carving a new path for women in Islam.“I think Malaysia has started to break the glass ceiling and is trying to be one of the modern Muslim countries,” she was reported saying.Despite the massive headway, the NYT observed that Malaysian Muslim women were still barred from leading prayers.
- In Sharia court, a man’s testimony is equal to that of two women.
- A man’s inheritance is equal to twice the amount of a woman’s inheritance
And consider these Quranic verses:
Quran 4:34: “Men have superiority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because men spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those among you who fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart, and beat them."
Quran 2:223: "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..."
Do Malaysian women peddling Islamic Da'wah or articles in the New York Times somehow cancel out these verses? Or other similarly-minded Islamic teachings?
By grasping at straws and lending credibility to ultimately meaningless window-dressing such as this story, non Muslims and the media like The New York Timesare doing no favors for free societies. In fact, they only add impetus to those who wish to strengthen sharia and Islam's influence everywhere.

I miss her!
Bismillahirahmanirrahim
Assalamualaikum wbt brothers n sisters
There is a saying that says 'you dont know wat u have until it's gone'. Now if u ask me, what's the best thing about being here in KL *currently for solehah* im not gonna say it's living in the hotel, nice food, nice people, free flying on a private jet..im not gonna say any of dat. The best thing about being here in KL, ATLEAST for me is dat, i get to appreciate ALL the things i left behind back at home. Especially my family n MOST SPECIFICALLY my MOM!
Therefore, i would like to immortalise my gratitude to my mother, Fathah binti Bujang by writing dis special entry just for her =) Obviously, there is a lot of things i can say about my mother. But im not gonna write long on dis. So, here wat i am gonna share =) im gonna tell u about one thing i adore about my mom, one fond memory dat i had between us and the last thing is, i wanna say something to my mom. Something so important that if i dont say it while i still can, i'll regret it for the rest of my life.
SO! One thing i adore so much about my mother is she is a hardworking lady. My mom is the mother of 5 pretty yet crazy girls n 1 ustaz =p She is a FULLTIME housewife until she finally get a tender to run a canteen at a primary school somewhere in Kuching =D but BEFORE dat, why i say she is a hardworking lady? it is because rather than just staying at home waiting for her children to come back home from school, wat she did was doing direct selling - CNI, AVON, NUTRIMETICS, COSWAY. Too many to mention here. Yes! She is a hardworking lady. Going to houses by houses, carry things she's gonna sell. Ouhhhh..i know, she's trying her VERY best to help our family to earn more money since my only lovely father working as a government servant. Everyday taking a bus n wat im soooo touched about is, she is a STRONG lady carrying things or shud i say BIG plastic bags with FULL of products to sell n at the end of the day, the money she got, she'll spend to buy things for us. SO suwiiittttttttt <3 huhu. That is freaking AWESOME! But all her hard work paid! Allah swt is Ya Rahman. After almost a decade doing direct selling, Allah gives her something as a reward! Alhamdulillah :) at last, she got to run a canteen. N subhanaallah, her salary is MORE MORE MORE than before.
One of the fondest memory i had with my mom is both of us lying on my bed in my room! Just the TWO of us, sharing stories. EVERYTHING n ANYTHING! When I was 16, my mom started to treat me like a FRIEND. At first, I was like, eerrr? What's going on? Yes, we both DO hve a good relationship but not as close as what we are now! Hehe. She started to 'disturb' me when i am busy studying (well, im nerd :p) haha. She will start to ask me questions. Silly questions. HAHA. I know her intention is to start a conversation with me. Just a more mature mom-daughter conversation i guess :) This will happen when im back home during weekends or during semester break. We both always wait for the chance when my dad is off to work, and after doing house chores then the time comeeeee! We both will grin at each other, understood wat each other had in minds. Hahaha! Ouhh ladies! This is the time my mother and I will share anything. But to be honest, i talk more! Hehehehe. She is my FOREVER BESTFRIEND instead of THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD! Wonder what are the TOPICS we're talking about? Hahaha. Keep wondering :) BUT, this sweet time of us, INSYAALLAH, i pray, it wouldn't end until Allah says that's the end. The time i spent with my mom will always be the most precious and unforgettable moment and it is the best part of my life! And Alhamdulillah, that girl grow up strong and healthy :) In the room - it is the best place to have a heart to heart session cause it is calm, quiet n ONLY the rotating sound of the fan is heard. Those are the times that build stronger relationship between both of us until NOW! To all the moms outside, DO treat your daughter just like your friend. Because, with this, then you n your daughter will understand each other more AND what important is, this will avoid misunderstandings which other mom-daughter always had.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, something that i want to say to my mom that if I dont say it now while i still can, I will regret it for the rest of my life. SO HERE IT IS!
" dear my beloved 'mak' its the little thing that usually pass us by n noticed and we fail to appreciate them. So, I would like to start up by saying THANK YOU for all the little things u had done for me all these years. Thank you for cooking for me, thank you for your advise, thank you for applying wet cloth on my forehead until my fever breaks, thank you for ur braveness sending me to quran class with dogs chasing after us, thank you for dropping me off to school when it rains heavily, thank you for listening to my bablings and complains, thanks for punishing me when im naughty. For all that and more, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU! But a very HUGE thank you I wanna say to u is for your immortal love u show to me and spiritual words u speak to me so that i will become a strong lady inside out. I do realise how big of the impact made on my life until I found out a lot of daughters out there are struggling with their emotions every single sec and since u taught me about life, I always learn from mistakes and that make me even stronger now mom! Also, i would like to say IM SORRY if i ever made u upset, if i ever cause any unhappiness to u. One of my GOALS in life is to make u happy, I wanna make u proud, i wanna make u feel content with whatever i say, i do and with watever i've achived. And if i can get dat, then a big part of my life is already a success. I am eagerly awaits for u to reach dat golden age, NOT because i can't wait to put u into a retirement home, NO NO NO, i'm not gonna do dat, this is a promise, IM NOT GONNA DO DAT. But because i cannot wait to reciprocate all those years u had spent patiently, cleaning me, changing my diapers, feeding me, basically taking care of me when i was a baby. U've been there for me in my time of need, and I want to be there for YOU during ur time of need. I know it is impossible to reciprocate everything u had done for me but i wish my arms are long enough so dat they could touch the east n the west, because only then i could demonstrate to you, how much I LOVE YOU!
Fathah binti Bujang =) |

Sakit Perut
Bismillahirrahim
Assalamualaikum wbt
"Tidaklah orang Muslim ditimpa cubaan berupa penyakit atau lainnya, melainkan Allah menggugurkan keburukannya, sebagaimana pohon yang menggugurkan daunnya.”
(HR. Bukhari-Muslim)
Sakit peruttttt! Semalam ana keluar masuk tandas hampir 8 kali. Dari lepas subuh sampai la malam tadi selepas selesai urusan dengan team Solehah dan Abg Farihin. Memang x selesa langsung. huhu. Sakit sangat perut. Tapi ana kuatkan diri untuk tidak menampakkan kesakitan yang ana sedang alami. Takut takut menjejas urusan kami pada hari itu. Setiap kali selesai solat, konfem! masok tandas. Ya Allah, tandas di Majid Negara, Kuala Lumpur tersangat la jauh dari bilik perbincangan kami. Memang ana rasa sakit sangat kt perut nih. Rasa yang mencucuk cucuk. Huhuhu.
Bukan itu sahaja, bila lepas makan je..konfem terus masuk tandas. Huhuhuhu. Sedihnye. Ana memang seorang yang sentiasa berselera bila bab bab makan ni. Hehehe. Yes, i have a BIG appetite =) hehehe. Tapi bila dah salu sangat kuar masuk tandas..heran jugak. Sebab sahabat sababat lain ok jer. So INI BUKAN KERACUNAN MAKANAN! Hohoho. Byk nyer dugaan semalam. Dengan perut yang sakit, MENGANTOK pulak tu. Huhuhu. Nak tidurrr je mase dalam perbincangan. Rasa rasanya semalam memang hari mengantuk. Huhuhu.
Luckily, abg Farihin sgt memahami. Kami diberikan masa untuk take a SHORT nap just to relax our mind n not to be too cruel to ourselves. Yaaaa..we need rest too! Thax abg farihin! Perbincangan diteruskan lagi sehingga malam. Huhuhu. Jam 12 malam baru dapat menjejak kaki di dalam bilik. Fuh! Lega! Puas hati dan letih! Alhamdulillah, Allah mudahkan segalanya. Dengan keadaaan ana yang sakit perut dan mengantuk..diteruskan juga perjuangan untuk menghabiskan tugasan =)
Setiap orang pasti pernah mengalami sakit. Rasulullah SAW sendiri mengalami sakit demam berat. Namun begitu Nabi tetap sabar dan tabah. Beliau mengatakan kepada Ibnu Mas’ud ra, bahwa penyakit yang datang ke dalam tubuh seorang Muslim itu dapat menggugurkan dosa sebagaimana pohon yang menggugurkan daunnya.
Dalam waktu lain, Rasulullah menjenguk Salman al-Fahrisi yang tengah berbaring sakit. Rasulullah bersabda. “Sesungguhnya ada tiga pahala yang menjadi kepunyaanmu dikala sakit. Engkau sedang mendapat peringatan dari Allah SWT, doamu dikabulkan-Nya, dan penyakit yang menimpamu akan menghapuskan dosa-dosamu.”Rasulullah pun melarang untuk mencela penyakit. Ketika Ummu Saib sakit demam dan mencela penyakit yang menimpanya, Nabi bersabda. “Janganlah kamu mencela demam. Karena sesungguhnya demam itu menikis kesalahan anak cucu Adam sebagaimana bara api mengikis keburukan besi.” (HR. Muslim)
Alhamdulillah :) syukur. Teguran Allah buat ana supaya jangan alpa dengan limpahan nikmatNya. So, nak doa banyak banyakkkkk sebab doa orang yang sakit insyaAllah dikabulkan =) Moga kita sentiasa menjadi orang yang bersyukur =)
Sikap tidak-suka-bertangguh abg farihin cukup saya kagumi. Dia sanggup menghabiskan kerja sehingga lewat malam supaya keesokkan harinya bleh mulakan dengan kerja lain. Yeehaa! Sikap sebegini memang patut kita contohi. Especially! Bila bergelar pelajar madrasah Solehah, pembahagian masa perlulah bijak!
Bertangguh adalah pencuri masa -DIRECT TRANSLATION! hehe. Yes! I agree 101%. Hatta bila nk cuci baju yang dah 3 hari dah terbiar, bila asyik bertangguh, baju akan menimbun dan pada waktu itulah menyesal "kenapa la aku tak cuci awal2" haish! Sesal dulu pendapatan, sesal kemudian tidak berguna =) chill! hehehe.
PERGI KELINIK!
Semakin saya tidak suka makan ubat, semakin selalu saya ke kelinik. Huhuhu :( my co-talent coordinator, Kak Faiza forced me to see doctor! Seriously, n frankly speaking i dont like meeting doctors! Huhuhu. Tak suke makan ubat. Sangat tidak suke. Kalau demam biasa2 memang akan elak dari nk jmpe doktor sebab taknak makan ubat. Rela tahan sakit sebab taknak makan ubat. Pelek..memang pelek. But itulah ana :)
MasyaAllah, BANYAK nya ubat doktor bagi! Huhuhu :( ADE 4 jenis. Ubat gastrik, cirit birit, angin dan muntah! Hohoho. Ana disahkan gastrik LAGI! Huhu. Doktor cakap perut ana ada banyak lebihan asid yang menyebabkan ana gastrik dan akan selalu muntah. Setiap pagi memang sudah menjadi kebiasaan ana akan muntah lendir berwarna kuning. Doktor cakap lendir yang ana muntahkan tu adalan asid. Huhuhu. He advised me to take BUBUR sahaja n avoid makan benda2 berminyak. Huhuhu :( Another 3 days untuk siaran langsung Solehah! I need to get well SOON! huhuhu.

Hidayah ALLAH
Bismillahhirahmanirrahim
Asslaamualaikum wbt
Hampir 2 bulan ana menyepi. Langsung tidak tercari masa untuk meng'update' blog. Mungkin benar kata sesetengah orang, masa 24 jam sehari tidak cukup untuk kita selesaikan segala urusan. Semakin d kejar dunia semakin jauh ia pergi. Terlalu banyak perkara berlaku sepanjang tempoh 2 bulan ini. Benar..Allah itu sebaik2 perancang. Dia Maha Mengetahui apa yang terbaik untuk hambaNya.
"aku telah redha bahawa Allah itu Tuhanku, dan Islam itu agamaku, dan Muhammad itu adalah nabi dan rasulku"
Ana redha dengan setiap ketentuanNya walaupun kekadang ianya pahit untuk ditelan. Diusahakan jua diri ini untuk menerima hakikat bahawa ana sudah bergelar pelajar madrasah Solehah, sebuah program realiti TV Al Hijrah. Bagaimana ana boleh terjebak dengan program ini? Kelakar sangat. Hehe. Sesungguhnya Allah itu mendengar rintihan hambaNya. Waima ianya lintasan hati sahaja, Allah tahu. Allah Maha Mendengar. Subhanallah. Mungkin inilah wasilahnya.
23 Julai yg lalu, selesai program Janataqwa di Taski Abim bersama-sama dengan hewi2 yang lain, kami mendapat satu jemputan untuk ke audition program realiti solehah TV Al Hijrah oleh Ustaz Suhardi. Maka untuk memenuhi jemputan itu, kami dengan muatan 3 buah kereta ke Merdeka Palace untuk sesi ujibakat. Pengerusi Hewi, Siti Raufa Sufrina, Timbalan Pengerusi Hewi 2, Hartini Mardan serta ana pergi untuk mencuba nasib dalam ujibakat ini. Tidak terniat langsung untuk mengikuti ujibakat ini kerana memikirkan dan sedia maklum bahawa ana belum cukup syarat untuk menyertainya. Huhu.
Memegang nombor giliran 725, ana melangkah masuk ke bilik ujibakat dengan pelbagai persoalan di minda. 'soalan ape ek diorang nk tye' 'habisla aku kalo diorang tye sal dalil quran' 'jawab je la soalan yg d tya' 'ape nak jadi, jadi la' 'janji aku dah lepas audition, xdela rase bersalah kt ustat sehardi' ini adalah antara perkara2 yang bermain di fikiran ana. Sungguh ana x terfikir langsung untuk berada di bilik ujibakat itu. Mungkin ada hikmah di sebalik semua ini.
16 ramadhan, i had a call from 0322601766. Pada mulanya, ana just ignored the call sebab salu je dapat panggilan dari bank yg saje je nk buang masa call salah orang. Huhu. Until the 3rd time calling, i was suspicious. Dis must be an important call from someone. So, ana jawab panggilan tu, n pertanyaan pertama 'ni adibah ke?' well, dalam kepala trus terfikir, x mungkin kali ni org salah call kot. That call in the morning really change me now!
Perlu diinsafi dan disedari bahawa taufik dan hidayah yang dianugerahkan Allah kepada manusia sebenarnya tidak boleh diukur berdasarkan kepada keadaan zahiriah seseorang individu. Peluang yang terbuka untuk mendapatkan taufik dan hidayah adalah berada di dalam Al.Quran, oleh itu baca dan fahamilah Al.Quran, insya Allah kita akan kenal Allah (Tuhan) yang mencipta sekalian alam ini, termasuk mengenal diri kita sendiri.
Firman Allah yang bermaksud:
"Wahai umat manusia! Sesungguhnya telah datang kepada kamu al-Quran yang menjadi nasihat pengajaran dari Tuhan kamu, dan yang menjadi penawar bagi penyakit-penyakit batin yang ada di dalam dada kamu; dan juga menjadi hidayah petunjuk untuk keselamatan serta membawa rahmat bagi orang-orang yang beriman".(Surah Yunus, ayat 57)
Sebaliknya, Allah mengurniakan hidayah-Nya kepada sesiapa sahaja yang dikehendaki-Nya , akhirnya jadilah mereka itu hamba Allah yang benar-benar beriman dan bertakwa. Maka apabila Allah sudah campakkan hidayah pada hati kita, maka berdoalah selalu moga Allah tidak menarik balik hidayahNya.
Wallahualam =)

Ukhuwah
Assalamulaikum wbt
“Ya Allah, bukakan bagi ku pintu kelebihan dan turunkan bagi ku keberkatan mu. Berilah kepada ku untuk melakukan sesuatu yang mendatangkan keredaan Mu dan tempatkan aku dalam syurga Mu yang luas, wahai penjawab doa orang dalam kesempitan.”
Untuk entri kali ini, ana ingin kongsikan tentang program Janataqwa Hewi Edisi Khas Ramadhan yang telah diadakan pada 12 Ogos yang lepas. Maaf kerana lambat meng'update'. Agak sibuk dengan urusan lain =)
JANATAQWA HEWI EDISI KHAS RAMADHAN
Inilah jalannya untuk ana perbaiki diri juga untuk ana muhasabah diri. Berada dalam kelompok ini membuat ana begitu rasa dihargai dan disayangi. Apa apa pun, ukhuwah ini akan tetap diuji untuk mengetatahui sejauh mana kekuatannya. Mohon Ya Rabb, Kau kekalkanlah kemesraan antara hati hati kami. Amin =)
p/s : ” Andai kita mengharapkan sahabat sesetia Abu Bakar radhiallahuanhu pastikan peribadi kita terlebih dahulu mengikuti peribadi beliau “
Wallahualam =)

Surah Pilihan
Assalamualaikum wbt
“Ya Allah, jadikan kami di antara orang bertawakal kepada Mu dan jadikan kami di kalangan orang yang menang di sisi Mu. Ya Allah, jadikan kami di kalangan orang yang dekat di sisi Mu. Dengan ihsan Mu wahai tempat tuju orang yang memohon.”
Alhamdulillah hari ini genap 10 hari umat Islam sedunia menunaikan ibadah puasa. Syukur 10 hari penglimpahan rahmat buat seluruh umat Islam. Dan insyaAllah bermula esok, 1o hari pertengahan adalah tahap pengampunan. Justeru itu, sama-sama kita rebut peluang ini untuk beribadah kepada Yang Esa untuk beroleh barakah serta redhaNya. InsyaAllah.
Perkongsian kali ini adalah berkenaan dengan satu program yang baruuu je ana dan sahabat sahabat PERKEPIS join baru-baru ni =) insyaAllah, moga perkongsian kali ini menjadi ikhtibar buat kita bersama.
Program Transformasi Ramadhan, 6 Ogos
Bersama YB Datuk Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusuf, Timb Menteri Sains ,Teknologi dan Inovasi Malaysia merangkap Ahli Parlimen P194 Petra Jaya |
Terjemahan:
"To Ha (Allah yang mengetahui maksudnya). Tiada Kami (Allah) turunkan kepadamu al-Quran ini supaya engkau celaka (menyusahkan engkau)! Melainkan untuk menjadi peringatan bagi orang yang takut. (Al-Quran) yang diturunkan daripada Tuhan, yang menciptakan bumi dan beberapa langit yang tinggi. Tuhan yang Pengasih, di atas singgahsana Dia bersemayam (berkuasa). Dia mempunyai apa yang ada di langit, dan di bumi, serta di antara keduanya dan apa yang ada di bawah tanah."
p/s : Sesungguhnya hidup ini merupakan satu perjalanan, tiba di destinasinya ia akan terhenti walau apa pun usaha untuk menegahnya daripada berhenti. Syukur kepada Allah S.W.T, ia masih belum terhenti sehingga ke saat ini untuk membenarkan kita sekali lagi bertemu dengan Ramadhan.
