The thing about Pas people that I really cannot stand is that they are more concerned about matters such as what other people are wearing than whether they had done anything for the betterment of their fellow Muslims.
Is the matter of tightness of a Malaysia Airlines stewardess' dress more important than the question of whether Malay Muslim men are too obsessed with sex?
Is being beautiful and healthy so wrong for a Muslim woman? I'm not kidding you on this. Some even said that we can't even recite the Quran openly for fear that our beautiful voice may enticed men into all sorts of sexual perversions.
Honestly, is Siti Zailah, the Pas women chief wants every women to be like her and look like her?
Okay, I can understand about wanting women to dress properly but reasoning that having to compel women to wrap themselves up so that sex crazed men don't rape them is wrong.
It's the reasoning and lessons being thought by Pas people such as Siti Zailah which for me that corrupted the minds of the younger generation Malay muslims.
Imagine, a Malay Muslim girl being thought that she will be raped if she doesn't wear proper clothing, and a Malay Muslim boy being told that a woman deserved to be raped if she doesn't properly menutup aurat.
What will happened to these Malay Muslim youths when they go out into the real world and mix among the non-Muslims out there?
It's the shaping of the mind set which is the real issue here.
For instance, I do wonder how will a Pas leader such as Siti Zailah answer to this question asked by Helen Ang, who is a Chinese non-Muslim,
Sebab agaknya Ong Kian Ming menyebut “Insya Allah”
Will Siti Zailah say Chinese girls wearing shorts are more dangerous to Muslims than those DAP evangelists such as Ong Kian Ming who play act to be Muslim friendly to win votes for his party and ultimately gain power in this country?
Or, is it okay for Pas people to let these evangelists to run around demanding sinister things such as the use of kalimah Allah in their Malay bibles for use in the Peninsular because they are from Pas' ally DAP, which contributes non-Muslim votes for their supposedly Islamic party?
But then I guess, these Pas people are willing to even be blind for the sake of gaining power.
UPDATES
Here is a question which I would like you all to ponder.
Which of these two will Siti Zailah and the other Pas men and women be more interested to discuss?
1. This story about this Muslim girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for defying their edict not to allow girls go to school,
Malala Yousafzai calls on governments to provide free education |
2. Or, whether that Muslim girl is covering her head properly,
Girlfriend saya pernah ditegur oleh seekor ostazah kerana pakai kebaya batik. Padahal ostazah tu jeles sebab body dia gemuk tak cantik dah macam anak dara.
ReplyDeleteKehkehkehkeh........
Kebanyakan hukum-hukum keagamaan direka-reka berlandaskan sentimen keperibadian seseorang agamawan.
lebih baik saudara buat kajian dulu sebelum komen.
Deletemungkin org yg ditegur belum menerima berita mengenai adab pemakaian bagi orang Islam, elok la diberitau.
...tapi kalau diberitau x nak ikut...terpulanglah...tapi hormatilah org yg nak ikut...
...elok lah kita mengakui apa yang tak betul tu tak betul...walaupun kita buat...mungkin sebab kelemahan kita sendiri...
...tak perlu rujuk kepada agama pun kalau seseorang tu keberatan nak dikaitkan dengan agama...dalam fakta sains pun mengatakan lelaki ni memang tertarik kepada pemandangan2 tertentu terutama wanita...
...memang wanita bole tunjuk semuanya pun kalau dia nak...Islam pun memang bagi...tapi kepada orang yang berkenaan sahaja la...baru ada keistimewaan...terutama utk suami...
Mat Guyver,
DeleteUstazah itu menjalankan kewajipannya mengajar pendidikan Islam kepada murid muridnya.
Kewajipan menutup aurat adalah dituntut dalam Islam melalui kibat AlQuran.
Pergilah menggaji dengan mana mana ustaz/ustazah yang handsome/cantik supaya tidak timbul fitnah yang dahsyat seperti yang saudara lemparkan. Tanya mereka hukum menutup aurat baik lelaki mahupun perempuan!
Saudara perlu cari ustazah tersebut dan mintalah maaf dengannya semoga dosa saudara yang mungkin buruk sangka dimaafkannya dan diampun oleh Allah swt!
Penutupan aurat sebenarnya makin menyerlah keayuan dan kesucian sesaorang. Lihat majalah Keluarga yang sering memaparkan pergawati pergawati yang mempamer busana Islam walau ada juga yang masih tidak menepati . Jangan memertikaikan keperibadian pergawati pergawati tersebut tetapi tumpukan kepada fesyen fesyen pakaian tersebut.
ostat azhar ,kesian si siti zailah ni. tak ada suami ke? ambik lah dia jadi bini no.4 baru aku pecaya mu memang pengikut sunah nabi, bukan masa bagi nasihat kat org aje...muahahaha
ReplyDeleteAlquran menyebut etika pakaian islami:
ReplyDelete“Katakanlah kepada mukminin laki-laki hendaklah menundukan pandangan dan menjaga kehormatan mereka. Demikian itu lebih bersih bagi mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang kamu perbuat. Katakanlah kepada mukmin perempuan, hendaklah menundukkan pandangan mereka. Janganlah menampakkan perhiasan mereka kecuali apa yang biasa kelihatan dari padanya. Hendaklah mereka menutupi dada dengan kerudungnya. Janganlah mereka menampakkan perhiasaannya (kecuali kepada yang mempunyai hubungan darah/dekat seperti dijelaskan Alquran)...”
QS: 24, ayat 30-31.
Anda yang muslimin/muslimat, jika nak komen tentang pakaian orang Islam sila rujuk ayat ini dan lain2 ayat dan hadith yang berkaitan. Jangan guna fikiran sahaja.
jadi org lelalki lah yang kena jaga pandangan dan kehormatan ye... klu lelaki pandang, rotan mereka 100 kali...apasal nak salahkan perempuan?
Deleteali
ramai nya la yg masih kurang ilmu...
Delete...sertai la majlis ilmu saudara...
Ramai lelaki Melayu yang hipokrit. Disuruh isterinya menutup aurat tetapi mata mereka terbeliak apabila memandang wanita yang memakai skirt.
DeleteAt my office, oftentimes young men in serban and jubah try to sell books titled "BAGAIMANA MENJADI SEORANG ISTERI YANG SOLEHAH", "BAGAIMANA MENJADI ISTERI YANG TAAT PADA SUAMI" and many more all centered on how women should be subservient to men. I always tell these young booksellers "hey dek! Tak ada ke buku yang mengajar lelaki bagaimana menjadi suami yang baik dan bertanggungjawab. They just look at me terpinga-pinga, utterly speechless!
Agak2 kenapa Allah suruh lelaki jaga pandanfan dulu????....
Deleteyg pompuan2 nak emo ni knp? Allah tu Maha Adil. baca ayat tu pun kita paham dua2 kena main peranan utk elak maksiat dan gejala rogol. anon 21.24 kalau x mau beli buku tu x payahlah sergah org yg menjual. itu semua ilmu masalah perempuan zaman ni x boleh nak ditegur lgsg cepat melenting dah terlalu byk terpengaruh dgn gerakan feminisme.
DeleteMuch as we dislike ( and sometimes hate what PAS does)we have to accept the fact that PAS consists of people who have not fully utilize the intellectual capacity that God has given them.
ReplyDeleteTheir minds are(MOST possibly,)full of lusts, anger and hatred, revengeful and greed and will do almost ANYTHING to fulfill their hearts desire.
Many are pretenders, fully clothed and turbaned, yet go against Islamic principles..
I would just let them be, pay no attention, but unfortunately, we seem to see them at every corner of life....sigh!!!!! :(
Mek melayu Islam macam dia ni memang kepochi. sebuk jaga tepi kain org.sebuk nak tunjuk dia lah yg terbaik. Sebenarnya jeles, takut suami dia stim kat ppoan lain. Bitch!!
ReplyDeleteDear Annie,
ReplyDeleteIt is for that reason and the likes of Siti Zailah in PAS that lead to total rejection of the party by some progressive Muslims women who have so much to contribute.
To PAS leaders, just because we dont dress like you doesnt mean that we love UMNO; but we just had to choose the less of two 'evils'(from every perspective). We are fade-up with UMNO 'antics' and reluctant to really change their 'unhealthy culture', but PAS being PAS is just not appetizing. In the lights of Ramadan, for Allah's sake, open your mind and really think of what is best for the ummah, is it how they dress or their unshakable faith??? Does everyone has to dress or look like you to show that they do share some of your 'perjuangan' spirit???
there is only one Islam...there is no conservative Islam or Progressive Islam or others...
Delete...Pas is not Islam...nor Umno is...
...let's not confuse between political approach and the Islamic faith...although Islam does encompass politics...
Salam Anon 13:22,
DeleteI think you missed the point here. No one says anything about PAS or UMNO is Islam. They are just political parties; we all know that.
Yes, I concur - there is only one Islam. Dont you ever get confused between the word Islam = faith, and muslims = people.
You can not deny the fact that there are some progessive muslims and there are also some conservatives ones i.e. the likes of Siti Zailah!!!
If all 1.2 billion muslims on earth are progressive,
this world would be a better place for everyone.
Have a blessed Ramadan dear!

ReplyDelete'Honestly, is Siti Zailah, the Pas women chief wants every women to be like her and look like her?'
I think B Siti Zailah made the right call.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with PAS is that they are too naive to assume that all muslims want to be better muslims and they all aspire to go to jannah.
Whenever they call for them to the right path, the expect to be accepted like the way the Ansars welcomed the Muhajirins.
They need to adapt to the realities of today that more and more muslims will prioritise worldy comfort and needs over peaceful life in the hereafter.
Time for them to get out of that pondok mentality.
i honestly think you are stretching the analogies here .... who can be called ansars and who the muhajirins in the context of PAS and modern-day Malaysia without the presence of our blessed Prophet light of lights who receives revellations diract from God on High?
DeleteAnd please don't senang-senang make a similitude of "pondok" with "pas" ok? kalau tak faham latar belakang pertentangan antara wahhabi islamist dengan ahl sunnah wal jamaah orang Melayu ok?
In the days of the Ansars they don't asked why but they asked how.
DeleteThe differencein tahap iman is like heaven and earth.
Here, people find ways not to ovbserve the teaching of Islam, on ground of modernisation.
In my humble opinion, we should not belittle 'pondok' way of passing the knowledge about Islam...Pas has nothing to do with Pondok vice versa...
DeleteIslam is Islam...Pondok is one way Islamic knowledge is passed...nothing to do with Pas way of thinking...
Pas is a political party...their approach is political in nature...not necessarily representing Islam or 'pondok' way of doing things...
Agreed that pondok and PAS are two different things but many PAS members are graduates of the pondok.
DeleteI've nothing against pondok but one common traits about them is that they "demand and expect" muslims to follow them.
These days, people don't follow blindly anymore. It had to be earned.
...i know many professionals who are Pas members or supporters...
Delete...they are not pondok graduates...why discriminate only pondok then?
...the political culture in Pas need to be addressed instead of blanket labelling of pondok to imply negative aspects of Pas political culture...
True, the professionals are making inroad into PAS and one day I believe they will take over from the ulamaks.
DeleteSomehow the "demand and expects" behaviour also gets into them. Perhaps it is in their DNA.
If you don't join them, you will get labelled as kurang iman or worse, dikafirkan.
Ostazah Annie should challenge Ostazah Siti Zailah for a debate on how a muslim women should dress.
ReplyDeleteNow Ostazah Annie saying kafirs are not allow to use the word 'Isyallah', pls elaborate.
to defeat Ostazah Siti senang aje....Annie pakai bikini ke pentas sure Ostazah Siti terus pengsan, geng PAS pasti air liur mengalir !!
DeleteSaya sen tiasa mengikut tulisan dalam blog ini. Apa yang menarik blog ini mencatitkan perkembangan politi semasa di Malaysia dan dirempahi catitan kehidupan Annie sendiri.
ReplyDeleteGaya penulisan ringkas, padat dan menggunakan bahasa yang mudah difahami sama ada dalam bahasa Inggeris atau bahasa Malaysia.
Ini membuatkan saya terus membaca blog ini kerana saya kurang minat memabaca artikel yang panjang lebar walaupun penuh informasi. Saya lihat blog Outsyed the box mula menulis dalam bentuk ringkas menggunakan 'point form'
Saya merasakan kesilapan besar YB MP PAS adalah 'approach' dalam seruan dia untuk wanita Muslim menutup aurat. Alasan alasan dia menyeru wanita Muslim menutup aurat amat 'klise' walaupun ada kebenarannya. Begitu juga respon respon yang dikemukakan mereka terhadap isu tersebut adalah respon respon yang telah biasa diberikan.
Cuma sebagai sesama umat Islam kita wajib mengingatkan antara kita terutama dalam hukum hakam agamaIslam. Memang jelas dalam ALQuran (lupa surah apa dan ayat berapa) suruhan Allah untuk wanita menutup aurat .
Hukum ini terdapat dalam Al Quran bukan hadith Nabi. Kalau Hadith Nabi mungkin ada yang mengatakan iti hadith daif. Saya sendiri sehingga umur 28 tahun masih tidak menutup aurat ( tidak memakai tudung )Alhamdulillah Allahyarham bapa dari semasa ke semasa membaca surah yang mengandungi kewajipan menutup aurat. Walaupun agak lama juga arwah bapa mengambil masa untuk saya menunaikan kewajipan sebagai muslimah, Allahamdulillah akhirnya saya menunaikan kewajipan tersebut.
'Don't underestimated you assets as women because Allah gives you all the necessary assets to be a true women'
Memang jelas dalam ALQuran (lupa surah apa dan ayat berapa) suruhan Allah untuk wanita menutup aurat .
DeleteHukum ini terdapat dalam Al Quran bukan hadith Nabi. Are youu sure? Outsyed the box claimed that there is no such thing in Quran.
Cik Alma... OTB is not the sole authority to interprete/translate the Quran full stop.
DeleteCik Alma, mungkin anda silap mentafsirkan apa yang ditulis oleh Outsyed the box Apa pun dia bukan ulamak yang ada wibawa . Tanya mereka yang arif.
DeleteTentang ayat AlQuran yang mewajibkan wanita menutup aurat memang ada. InsyaAllah saya bukan golongan munafik. Saya akan cuba cari ayat itu dan moga moga dalam kesempatan lain saya akan kemukakan. Malah ada seorang pengomen dalam blog ini mengemukan ayat AlQuran tentang hal itu. Tepuk dada tanya iman sama ada mahu mempercayainya atau tidak!
Cik Alma, Alhamdulillah saya telah menjumpai ayat tersebut dalam Al Quran . Sebenarnya telah disebut oleh seorang komentator,Saya sertakan terjemahannya:
DeleteSurat Al Ahzab ayat 59,
"Wahai Nabi! Suruhlah isteri tuan hamba dan anak perempuan tuan hamba serta perempuan yang beriman supaya melabuhkan jilbabnya bagi menutup seluruh tubuhnya ( semasa keluar) : Cara yang demikian itu adalah lebih sesuai untuk mereka dikenali ( sebagai perempuan yang baik baik ) maka dengan demikian itu mereka tidak diganggu. Dan (ingatlah) Allah adalah Maha Pengampuan, Lagi Maha Mengasihani."
Satu lagi ayat untuk dihayati:
Ayat 177 Surah Al-A'Raf yang bermaksud,
" Amatlah buruknya bandingan orang orang yang menolak Ayat ayat Kami, dan mereka pula berlaku zalim kepada diri mereka sendiri."
So, Cik Alma, Tepuklah dada tanyalah iman. Cuma satu permintaan saya yang ikhlas, kepada anda dan komentetor komentetor yang segolongan, tolonglah jangan persenda sendakan ayat ayat Al Quran. Kita tidak mahu mengikutnya itu hak kita cuma jangan beri komen komen yang 'lucu' yang menunjukkan tahap ilmu dan penghayatan agama kita yang tidak memuaskan.
Who translated the Quran? Weren't all of them men? In Muslim countries like Afghanistan, rape cases still occur eventhough their women are forced to wear hijabs. So, covering yourself from head to toe is not a guarantee.

the person that run down Annie religion is non other than Annie herself...making endless fitnah and inciting hatred against the malaysian chinese community !!
DeleteSaya harap Annie jangan layan langsung beberapa komen yang dikemukan di sini. Mereka bukan jenis orang yang matang dalam membahaskan isu. Bila mereka tidak ada idea untuk mendebatkan hujah, mereka mula mengeluarkan kenyataan yang.mengejek atau menghina!
DeleteBuang beras sahaja untuk menyedarkan mereka tentang kesilapan yang mereka lakukan. Mereka jenis yang tidak ada nilai kebenaran dalam diri.
Why are you attacking malay muslim man? All men, they way u put it, is all interested, if not obsessed in sex. I dare say your father was once the same, regardless if one is muslim or not.
ReplyDeleteLayla, apa yang ada katakan mengenai sifat lelaki adalah benar sama ada Islam atau bukan. Mereka dijadikan Allah sebegitu rupa.
DeleteItulah sebab mengapa Islam mewajibkan wanita menutup aurat. Cara ini dapat mengurangkan risiko perlakuan kurang baik dari lelaki.
Mengapa wanita yang perlu menutup aurat kerana itu? Jawapannya, wanitalah yang menanggung kesusahan akibat hubungan itu. Contoh paling klasik kalau termengandung, siapa yang akan menanggung? Wanita kan? Lelaki boleh cuci tangan dan cabuuuut!
Pada pikiran saya, Pn Siti ini hanya menjanakan tugasnya sebagai seorang hamba Allah SWT. Tidak ada salahnya kerana itu lah pandangan peribadinya sebagai seorang perempuan Islam. Kan Negara kita demokrasi. Bukankah itu yang dilaung-laungkan? Apa masih lupa? Ingat kah kamu ketika mengatakan demokrasi telah mati di negara ini? Jadi, bagi mereka yang tidak memahami atau tidak mahu memahami atau senaja tidak mahu memahami, belajar-belajar lah ambik tahu soal agama bangsa lain. Jangan ingat kalau kita tidak suka sesuatu perkara, orang lain juga begitu. Sila ambil peduli soal-soal begini sebab kita hidup bermasyarakat. Butikan agama mana yang benarkan aurat dibuka? What page? where? which verses? which reference? Jadi Pn Siti, saya ucapan terima kasih kerana menjalankan tugas anda untuk menegur serta mengingati. Kalau ada yang tak paham tu, sampai bila-bila tak mau faham. Itulah manusia.
ReplyDeleteInteresting piece. I wonder what will these people do if they live in, say Australia? US? They claim to fight for Islam, practice Amar Makruf Nahi Mungkar, yet many of them are just hypocrites. Muslims will never be able to progress if they keep on having these type of attitudes and thinking..
ReplyDeleteAnon 14:34,
ReplyDeleteDon't entertain yourself on important social issues, for God's sake. God Most Wise sent divine guidance through His prophets and the final Quranic revelation is for humanity to interpret its wisdom for the problems we have to tackle in various circumstances. We are not "speaking" about discussing the pros and cons of divinely established elements like the prayer times or the procedure of the ritual prayer, or the zakat, or the Ramadan fast, or the Haj, or the sacred kalimah syahadah.
But we are discussing problems of humanity and political ambitions (people who claim to be speaking with divine authority) that affect the basic human rights of muslims and children here and abroad. Yes, some comments may make less sense than others; and some may be worthwhile to ponder while others could be plain nonsense! Allah wants us to think carefully and deeply about things - i am not a spokesperson for God. It says so in the noble Quran .....
can we question the noble Quran ??
DeleteIf you are a believer NO!
ReplyDeleteYou cannot question the authenticity of Allah's divine revelation simply because unlike other claims to divine scripture, the Quran has been memorized by throngs of human beings since Allah Most High first sent it down (within a period of 23 years) to our beloved Prophet s.a.w., right up to the present times. Isnad hafalannya tak pernah terputus pada tiap2 zaman mahupun ia dihafal oleh ramai manusia pada setiap masa.
Deleteactually you can question the noble qoran all you like. we muslim dont fear it. dont you know islam is the fastest growing religion in this world?
ReplyDeleteIts a myth! Poor muslims with a dozen kids keep breeding and so the population of Muslims keep growing. Its not becos of new converts. And this converts once they found out about what it is they are getting into usually want out. You dont fear questioning of the Quran?? really? doesnt look that way from what we read of the muslims comments here and everywhere else in Msia.
DeleteAnon 09:52,
DeleteYou are so wrong. I live in the US and according to the statistics, more Americans are converting to Islam now. When my family and I went for Umrah just after the Gulf war, we were astonished to see a number of American GI's were performing Umrah.
You must be a non- Muslim who is anti-Islam. I guess you must be a Chinese and a DAP supporter. Your DAP masters are known to be anti- Malay and anti-Islam.
That Siti Zailah is so UGLY, who wants to look like her? So wrapped up like 'lepat pisang', maybe even smells like 'pisang busuk'. Yuks! I prefer the look of sexy MAS stewardesses any time. I hope MAS will change the kebaya uniform into something more sexy.
ReplyDeleteThen, we will see all those PAS ostats and men struggling to keep their bird intact. See, actually all PAS men are sex maniacs and their women are jealous queens.
The ustazah from pas may have the right intention but with the wrong approach.
ReplyDeleteAs usual Pas is always concern about the small matters which reflects with their small brains and thoughts. They do not and cannot think any further let alone give any inputs on how to improve the Islamic community in terms of economic and society.
Annie,
ReplyDeleteNever really care about PAS. I have my share of bad experiance with the PAS man who for some reasons he only know think that I'm not a true muslimah because I'm not wearing my tudung. And as a shallow youth, I challenge him my own way, not wearing for one until I'm 25 years old. Every few month change my hair colour and soo on.
The funny things was, the one who make me want to wear tudung was my tealady who told me to think carefully why I want to wear tudung. If it because of fashion or everyone else do it, forget it. You must wear tudung because of Allah. Not people push you around or because you don't want people to talk about you.
The PAS "advisor" was an engineer and I don't want to follow their advise but a tealady open my mind. It approach that win people over and for some reason this "inteligent man/women" cannot comprehend it.
By the way, your question on what on their mind regarding the Malala Yousafzai, they will simply shut down their mind and try to discuss something else. Education for them only for women to cover everything and how to become a zombie (follow a man without question) to a "highly inteligent man". Some post in their blog and said Malala Yousafzai get what she deserved (make me and a few girlfriends want to shake them and slap them a few times).

.tetapi ingat…Nabi saw pernah menerangkan di dalam satu riwayat….bahawa diakhirat nanti apabila kita dihadapkan di hadapan Allah swt…kita akan ditanya..tentang dosa dan pahala….jika ada dosa yang kita lakukan…maka pahala kita akan dipotong….jika kita banyak melakukan amalan baik sekalipun…tetapi jika tidak menutup aurat….pahala kita akan dipotong mengikut lama mana kita mendedahkan aurat ketika di dunia ini semasa kita hidup….sehingga tiada lagi pahala yang nak dipotong..kita tanggung pula dosa orang yang rosak matanya..akhlaknya…disebabkan oleh kita yang membuka aurat….sehingga kita menjadi manusia yang paling muflis di akhirat lalu dicampakkan kita ke dalam neraka.”
