AWAS!!! "KAPAL ANGKASA" DI BUKIT JALIL

Sebuah 'kapal angkasa' bakal mendarat di Bukit Jalil tidak lama lagi. Kalau tidak akhir tahun ni mungkin dijangka awal tahun 2010.
Kapal angkasa yang diberi nama CCC atau Calvary Convention Centre akan mendarat ditapaknya bersebelahan Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Club berhadapan Anjung Hijau Kondominium.

Kapal angkasa tersebut sebenarnya adalah sebuah gereja yang terbesar di Malaysia dengan kos pembinaan melebihi RM100 juta tidak termasuk kos tanah RM35 juta.

Gereja 6 tingkat ini adalah antara gereja yang tercanggih didunia.

Dengan kapasiti auditoriumnya yang mampu memuatkan 5 ribu orang pada satu-satu masa, maka kawasan sempit ini dijangka akan mengalami kesesakan teruk abapila ia siap nanti.

Jangan terkejut jika setelah mendarat nanti tempat duduk di dalam kapal angkasa ini akan diisi oleh anak-anak Melayu yang bukan beragama Islam.

Dikhuatiri juga akan lebih ramai lagi remaja Melayu yang beragama Islam yang akan murtad.

Lihatlah saja kepada misi-misinya:

The Mission Statement of the Calvary Convention Centre is:

* To be an inspiration and to benefit all in Malaysia and beyond
* To be a dynamic and positive influence in our society
* To care and to share with those who are without hope
* To equip and train those who desire to serve and help others
* To declare God’s love and His faithfulness to mankind














Beginilah bentuk model Calvary Convention Centre (CCC) jika siap sepenuhnya. Bentuk yang paling moden dengan peralatan yang serba moden. Mampu menampung lebih 5,000 penganut Kristian untuk latihan agama Kristian di Malaysia

Laman itu menyebut CCC dibina untuk menampung kegitan Gereja Calvary yang holistik, untuk peringkat dalam negara dan luar negera. Auditoriumnya memuatkan 5,000 kerusi untuk kegiatan pendidikan dan latihan Kristian khusus untuk golongan muda di Malaysia

Why I wear a Hijab ?

From:Raseena Sherif,Ikhwanweb,Egypt

I was asked by a friend about why I wear a hijab. This is my answer.

You asked me ages ago why I wore the hijab. It was always somewhere in my mind - not necessarily always the back - that I should reply and I finally decided I wouldn’t put off your reply any longer, and therefore you shall have it.

Having grown up in a practising Muslim household, many things were just handed over to me. And having studied in an Islamic school all my life, consequently having an entirely Muslim circle of friends, I never questioned them. That was the way things were done in my little world, and it was therefore the way I did things too. The hijab was one of them. I grew up in it. Physically and also mentally. I think the question, or at least the one with the more interesting answer, is why I continue to wear the hijab even after having spent more than three years now, in Christian colleges, and with a friend circle that is largely non- Muslim.

There are many things I found in the hijab as I grew up. Things as varied as the convenience of not having to spend considerable amount of worry and time on my wardrobe and outside appearance, to philosophical, spiritual, and you might be surprised to hear this, but even feminist concepts that I feel proud to stand up for and show my belief in.

In wearing a hijab, a woman is identified by the things she does and the things she stands for, rather than her looks. Even as a woman, there are times when I have found myself identifying another woman by her looks, where I might ask “Oh, the one with the long hair?” In underplaying my looks, I force others to look for more in me.

My hijab saves me a lot of the time, effort, thought and worry that would otherwise go into my dress, my hair, my skin and my make up. I think it’s a pity that while theoretically looks aren’t supposed to matter, one must spend so much time and money on them. With the hijab, looking good means looking neat and the best part is that I get to stop where others begin.

As a teenager, I have seen girls go to large extents to look attractive to men. I have heard of an entire class getting their mums to pay for breast implant surgeries as graduation gifts. I have heard of girls hanging themselves because they weren’t invited to a prom. I think it is so demeaning to believe that your worth lies in the admiration of the opposite sex. I think you insult yourself by preening in front of them. People say the hijab is oppressing. I think being compelled, by society, or even worse, by your own mind, to confirm to external standards of beauty is oppression. Mental oppression. In the hijab, I find dignity and freedom.

Corporate circles are aware of power dressing concepts and how women feel that if they dress in certain ways, then they gain power and confidence. Does this mean that there are women out there who are learning that the way they look can earn them power? I guess in their ideology, we in the hijab are powerless. Maybe in the corporate world, the way you dress does give you power – I’m not arguing with the idea. I just don’t want to think of what happens to the self esteem of the people who believe in this theory when they grow old, or lose their beauty.

And honestly, look at the larger picture. In society, the more women are expected to look that way at work, the higher becomes the man’s standards of beauty for women. The more dissatisfied he becomes with “ordinary” women. I think dissatisfaction is where it all starts from – look at the number of broken relationships, broken people, broken homes! I hate to think we are breeding a collective idea in the minds of both men and women about what a “modern day” , “powerful”, “influential” woman is “supposed” to dress like, and subsequently, look like. Why power dressing? Whatever happened to the power of goodness, the power of ability? Isn’t society supposed to run on the power of love?

People say the hijab is “backward”. So I’m guessing I can find forward in the opposite. Hmm. In which industry does the focus lie on beauty, on desire and exposure? It’s the fashion industry! Starve yourself to get the right look, and once you get it, you can rule the world! If you die in the process, oh, how sad! Enjoy your short period of power, by the way, because tomorrow when you lose that figure of yours, you’re going to be dropped like a hot plate and no one is going to turn around and give you a second look. Personally, I think the hijab is fast forward.

I know someone who doesn’t really like the hijab, but finds it convenient to wear one when she’s traveling by bus. She’s saved the stares and the gropes. People wearing hijab find that men don’t mess with them as much when they’re in one. They’re given a decent amount of space when they’re walking down a side walk.

I can go on about the hijab and what it means to me, or what can be found in it. But the reason I wear it is none of them. In Islam, a person does a thing because her Lord asks her to. And because, she has faith. She believes. She believes in the Infinite Wisdom that the Creator of the universe would have. She believes that what comes from Him can be nothing less than the best. That does not translate to unthinking obedience.

In the Quran, we are repeatedly asked to use our brains, and to think for ourselves – not to evaluate everything God asks of us, but to establish for ourselves that there is only One God, Allah, and that the Quran and all that is in it cannot be from any other source than Him. But once you do come to that belief, as I have done, you also believe in His Infinite Wisdom. You don’t need any other source of advice, or knowledge – you have the Creator of the universe in front of you. To settle for a lower source doesn’t make sense. It results in, not blind obedience but faith. And from that point on, it is a spiritual journey.

We continue from there, trying to please Him by following His various injunctions. If He allows us to see the beauty and the wisdom behind them, that’s great. But those reasons do not then become the primary reasons for following those injunctions. The reason for doing what we do remains to please Him. And we feel good about pleasing Him, for we know that He is not a whimsical Lord. What pleases Him is what is good for humanity. Sometimes in so many more ways than we realize. In so many ways that it surprises us when we find another. And because we believe in accountability. That is the reason I wear the hijab.

Looking back now, at how I began to wear the hijab, I’m glad I did start the way I did. In spite of the fact that I prefer to find things out for myself, and hate taking things for granted, or doing things without really believing them. Because having started the way I did, to me, the hijab was always just another type of clothing.

I think about the kind of stereotypes people have about hijabs, and women who wear them, and I know that if I were left to discover the hijab for myself, it would have been tough for me to go beyond those stereotypes, to go back on all that I grew up hearing, seeing and believing, and to allow myself to actually see the hijab for what it is and its beauty. Having grown up wearing it, in a society that didn’t jump to conclusions about me because I did, or look at me like I was weird, I have always felt comfortable in it, and never thought of myself as any different from the rest. It was just my way of dressing. And with the stage for objective evaluation of that type of dressing set, I have come to love that way of dressing above others.

On the other hand, I know there are those that hate the hijab they wear. I feel bad for them – for the fact that they are forced to do something they don’t even understand, and the fact that they haven’t understood something so beautiful. However, I think the saddest part is that they are losing out on both the happiness they might have found in dressing the way they would have liked to, and the happiness they could have found in pleasing their Creator. It’s always our intentions that are considered and if you’re doing something only because you’re forced to, it doesn’t count. You might as well enjoy yourself living life the way you want to. And then if you are fortunate enough to find God for yourself, I think you are really lucky.

In fact, I feel bad for all those Islamic ideologies that are reduced to meaningless customs and traditions, and the joke that they have been allowed to become in the minds of people. Anyway, I won’t start on that or I shall go on for a couple more pages. I just want to ask you to make a distinction between actual Islamic ideology and the actions that one sees from some people born into Muslim households – especially the kind I heard you grew up with.

In the hijab, honestly, I feel blessed

THE DARK PHILOSOPHY OF FREEMASONRY

Yesterday,i was surfing the internet at ptsl cyber, ukm...suddenly,i had a strong instinct to see something related to islam & science..thus,i decided to see harun yahya's homepage..as i was glancing at it, i saw the categories appeared on the right side of its homepage..i scrolled it down and saw the interesting article..it's about the dark philosophy of freemasonry..what i knew about it just a bit, not all i've known..sO, i think i would like to share with the readers about it..i'm not intentionally to show whole of the article,just its early paragraph..and the rest, you should click the link below the article text as follows:
Freemasons state “peace, fraternity and love among human beings” to be the tenets of their mission. However under these concepts, albeit seemingly positive at first sight, lies the Masonic philosophy’s enmity to religion.

Masonry has been one of the major topics about which people have been curious and bewildered. That is because the organisation’s activities are kept confidential and thus its real philosophy and objections are subject to much controversy. In their public disclosures, freemasons extensively refer to “human love, tolerance, universal fraternity, the way to science and wisdom...”, concepts with an instant appeal to heart. However, freemasonry is a dark organisation with its atheist and even anti-religious features.

The most interesting aspect is that the concepts referred by freemasons in their public disclosures and the accusations against them regarding being “irreligious” do not have much difference in essence. At this stage, one might raise the question “Why?” After all, none of these concepts seem adverse; love, tolerance and other similar “Humanist” concepts do not seem to be anti-religious at first sight. Even, many people think these concepts are among the moral teachings religions introduce.

However what truly matters is the content attributed to these concepts.link

Maggot Debridement Therapy

Everyone loves their foot. Regardless the foot/feet are good in playing football or not, the thing is no one willing to sell/lose their leg even for a million of dollar. Why? The answer is definitely already in your mind. There are no 'original' spare parts available in market.

There are some cases when you might lose your foot. The most famous reason is when your leg/foot committed to chronic wounds, complication from diabetic disease. When the wound becomes worst, the only solution to save your life is to lose your foot by amputation. Better lose foot rather than lose your life? Is it true?

However, if there is a chance for you to save your foot, you are so STUPID if you let doctors cut your leg. That's why we introduce Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT), a biosurgical using sterile maggots/larvae to heal your wounds by debriding/cleansing the dead tissue or necrotic. This treatment is just appear to Malaysia, thanks a lot to distinguished scienties who did their best to produce sterile maggots using local species of fly, named Lucilia cuprina.

Maggot Debridement Therapy

Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT) is the medical use of live maggots (fly larvae) for treating non-healing wounds.

In maggot debridement therapy, disinfected fly larvae are applied to the wound for 2 or 3 days within special dressings to keep them from migrating. The literature identifies three primary actions of medical grade maggots on wounds:

1) They clean the wounds by dissolving dead and infected tissue ("debridement");
2) They disinfect the wound (kill bacteria);
3) They speed the rate of healing.

MDT can be used for the treatment of pressure ulcers, burns, venous stasis ulcers, osteomyelitis, diabetic foot ulcers, MRSA infected wounds, debridement of infected surgical wounds and even chronic, non healing ulcers.

History of Maggot in Medicine

Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT) or Maggot Therapy has been known for centuries. It was observed that wounds infestated with maggots (larvae) of certain flies tend to be more ‘sterile’ and healed faster. It was during 18th Century that military surgeons began to experiment with the use of maggots to treat wounded soldiers. The trend continued into the 1930’s, particularly in commercially for medical use.

With the advent of antibiotics and other “modern” treatment, maggot therapy was slowly phased out until recently. The development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the difficulty in treating various wounds have revived maggot therapy lately. However, in Malaysia and other countries in the region, no attempts were made to examine the use of local flies for such treatment.

In the past, only the green bottle fly, Lucilia sericata, a temperate species is used. This fly is not found in the tropics. Instead, a local species, Lucilia cuprina was tested and found to be extremely useful in clearing wounds. This is the first such record for this fly to clear the wounds.

Diabetic foot ulcer: before MDT (a), and after two (b), four (c) and eight (d) weeks of MDT

Eclipses

Narrated Fatima bint Al-Mundhir (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

Asma' bint Al Bakr said, "I came to 'Aisha the wife of the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) during the solar eclipse. The people were
standing and offering the prayer and she was also praying too. I asked her,
'What has happened to the people?' She pointed out with her hand towards
the sky and said, 'Subhan-Allah'. I said, 'Is there a sign?' She pointed
out in the affirmative." Asma' further said, "I too then stood up for the
prayer till I fainted and then poured water on my head.
When Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had finished his
prayer, he thanked and praised Allah and said, 'I have seen at this place
of mine what I have never seen even Paradise and Hell. No doubt, it has
been inspired to me that you will be put to trial in the graves like or
nearly like the trial of (Masih) Ad-Dajjal. (I do not know which one of the
two Asma' said.) (The angels) will come to everyone of you and will ask
what do you know about this man (i.e. Muhammad). The believer or a firm
believer (I do not know which word Asma' said) will reply, 'He is Muhammad,
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) who came to us with clear
evidences and guidance, so we accepted his teachings, believed and followed
him.' The angels will then say to him, 'Sleep peacefully as we knew surely
that you were a firm believer.' The hypocrite or doubtful person (I do not
know which word Asma' said) will say, 'I do not know. I heard the people
saying something so I said it (the same).' "

Narrated Abu Bakra (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):

Narrated Abu Masud (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):

Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) How is the
prayer of the night?" He said, "Two Rakat followed by two Rakat and so on,
and when you apprehend the approaching dawn, offer one Raka as Witr."
Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 238

Narrated Hudhaifa (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
Whenever the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) got up for Tahajjud
prayer he used to clean his mouth (and teeth) with Siwak.

Narrated 'Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers (Radi-Allahu 'anha):
One night Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) offered the prayer
in the Mosque and the people followed him. The next night he also offered
the prayer and too many people gathered. On the third and the fourth nights
more people gathered, but Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
did not come out to them. In the morning he said, "I saw what you were
doing and nothing but the fear that it (i.e. the prayer) might be enjoined
on you, stopped me from coming to you." And that happened in the month of
Ramadan.

Shortening the Prayers (At-Taqseer)

Narrated Anas bin Malik (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
Whenever the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) started the journey
before noon, he used to delay the Zuhr prayer till the time for the 'Asr

and then ride (for the journey).

Narrated 'Amir bin Rabi'a (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
I saw the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) on his Mount praying
Nawafil by nodding his head, whatever direction he faced, but Allah's
Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) never did the same in offering the
compulsory prayers. Narrated Salim: At night'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to
offer the prayer on the back of his animal during the journey and never
cared about the direction he faced. Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to offer the optional prayer on the
back of his Mount facing any direction and also used to pray the Witr on it
but never offered the compulsory prayer on it."
Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 202

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
"I saw Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) delaying the Maghrib
prayer till he offered it along with the 'Isha' prayer whenever he was in a
hurry during the journey." Salim narrated, "Ibn 'Umar used to do the same
whenever he was in a hurry during the journey." And Salim added, "Ibn 'Umar
used to pray the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers together in Al-Muzdalifa."
Salim said, "Ibn 'Umar delayed the Maghrib prayer because at that time he
heard the news of the death of his wife Safiya bint Abi 'Ubaid. I said to
him, 'The prayer (is due).' He said, 'Go on.' Again I said, 'The prayer (is
due).' He said, 'Go on,' till we covered two or three miles. Then he got
down, prayed and said, 'I saw the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
praying in this way, whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.'
'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) added, "Whenever the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) was in a hurry, he used to delay the Maghrib prayer and then offer
three Rakat (of the Maghrib) and perform Taslim, and after waiting for a
short while, Iqama used to be pronounced for the 'Isha' prayer when he
would offer two Rakat and perform Taslim. He would never offer any optional
prayer till the middle of the night (when he used to pray the Tahajjud)."
Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 197

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "A woman should not travel
for more than three days except with a Dhi-Mahram (i.e. a male with whom
she cannot marry at all, e.g. her brother, father, grandfather, etc.) or
her own husband.)"
Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 192

Narrated Ibn Abbas (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):
The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) once stayed for nineteen days
and prayed shortened prayers. So when we travel led (and stayed) for
nineteen days, we used to shorten the prayer but if we travelled (and
stayed) for a longer period we used to offer the full prayer.
Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 186

FIC..is it still relevant as new policy for economic development of Malaysia?

Here, i would like to respond on FIC..recently, our prime minister,DS Najib Razak announced for a new policy to boost up the growth of economy in order to make it relevant and accessible to a new economic environment worldwide..how can the liberalization of foreign investment committee(FIC) give benefits to Malaysians and last but certainly not least is foreign investors..

The liberalization primarily to eliminate some of the regulations that seems irrelevant with nowadays economic situation. It is mainly to boost the corporate sector as well as to ensure the foreign country keep injecting their investment towards Malaysia.One of the main regulation that has been eliminated is there is no more regulation to have 30% of Bumiputera equity for a company to be listed..

First we should look why this regulation removed. Foreign investor and non-bumi view this regulation as a barrier because the participation of Bumiputera is limited and low. They did not have enough capital and most of cases happen which the Bumiputera more rather to sell the equity as a fast-track for them to get rich..

To replace this, the government comes out with a new regulation that 50% from 25% of 'public distribution' should be given to Bumiputera's investors and more than that, the government has launched Ekuinas to increase the Bumiputera's equity in potential sector such as tourism,biotechnology, medical etc. This new company will ensure the effectiveness of Bumiputera participation in economy growth..

Perhaps some will argue by say that liberalization will lead our country to capitalism and as we know capitalism is something like 'rich become more richer, poor become more poorer'. But should we apply the communism style?It will our people become more suffer as we closed the door for foreign to invest and boost out our economy. Our country as been taught in syllabus is practicing mixed system which the government will intervene to stabilize the national economy..

We believed that China still adopted the socialism system but how can they keep maintain their economy growth in the midst of recent economy crisis?Why their economy did not turmoil like what has been experienced by other countries? China is opening their door for foreign investment and their economy environment keep attract the foreign to come and invest.Now the investors have more choice to invest as Vietnam also now opening their country for more foreign investment..

If Malaysia want to compete with these countries, we cannot stand with the old instrument. We must to ensure our country become more friendly investor and the economy environment is attracting the foreign to keep injecting our economy. This, however been viewed as loss of more sovereignty on our own economy since the termination of real estate transaction of FIC in the new regulation but there is exception for transaction that involves Bumiputera's real estate. The government instead will monitor any real estate transaction that involves Bumi or govt agency to foreign and for this such transaction, the foreign company need to have 30% of Bumiputera's equity..

It is obvious that the 30% of Bumiputera's equity is not full vanish.It is not use anymore for the foreign companies to be listed and start their business here only. The more they come and start their business here, the revenue and tax payment will be more generate and this will benefit the government to use the tax payment for social facilities and development..

I think it is time for us to focus on local investors so that they also will benefit from the economy policy and survive in current economy environment.Local company especially the bumiputera or Malay will also contribute in payment of zakat harta which help the government to close the gap between rich and poor beside the zakat payment can be used to help the poor people start to work and participate in economy activities such as business etc. This will keep our country to maintain the business activities especially in middle-small industry sector..

We cannot afford to recover from economy crisis by having foreign investment but we must encourage our investor to invest in the local too as well as to other countries. We need to generate our export and I believed that our export orientated based on electronic should be reorientated back as I know that we as the Islamic country may establish the halal food hub.Perhaps we can export our halal food to Arab and Islam country because I did not heard any Arab country affected by this current economy situation.More than that this kind of export can enter Europe countries as there are also a lot of Muslims communities there and I sure the demands of halal food is critical for this such communities..

I'm not support capitalism or communism because I don't think either these two systems are benefit people. Even though communism embrace social justice but I don't think the justice affected the administration people or their leader. Yet the people who will affected by any sanctions,shortage and other economy policy but the leader or admin people will stay healthy and alive. That's why I prefer more on mixed system with the combination of Islamic economy(zakat, baitulmal etc) it will help to maintain the economy.But how effective it is, it depends to those who implement and execute it..

Globalization and recent economy situation has changed us but we too, should change the shape of the globalization by participating with recent instrument and tactics in order to keep develop and become the 'player' of globalization, not become the predator and loser!

At last,i need to have your comments on my posting. thank you..
