Tidak ada kedaifan di negara ini sepatutnya kerana Islam ada zakat fitrah dan zakat harta sekiranya dibahagi kapada pihak yang berhak dengan sebaiknya.
Dimana perginya gunung zakat yang dikumpulkan semenjak sultan Melaka?
Biasa kita dengar negeri itu-ini mengumpul zakat jutaan tetapi jarang dengar berapa dan kapada siapa diagihkan.
Maklumat pengagihan penting untuk menggalakkan lagi azam rakyat untuk berzakat kerana tahu pihak sasaran akan bermanafaat.
1Malaysia megah dengan pengeluaran minyak sawit yang kaya dengan khasiat Vitamin E dll. Adakah kita dengar rahmat Allah ini untuk meredakan kebuluran di Afrika?
Bila barat menghulur bantuan kita kata mereka ada agenda. Apa agenda kita?

What is happenning to the Arab uprising: May 4 2011
Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE) said...
The turmoil in the Arab world, though a legitimate course of action by the people suppressed is becoming a boon for the western powers to change their gamemanship in the Middle East. A new gameplan has to emerge to harness and steer the confusion and clamour for international help in Libya, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain into their favour and interest.
Now, more than ever the west can intervene at minimal cost and propaganda. Let the people fight, exhaust and kill themselves, yet providing support wherever and whenever necessary even counter-revolutionary in scope. The assistance will be paid back in terms of millions of barrels of oil adding more years under the clutches of imperialism.
The people have no choice but to get bloodied to change the corrupt and cruel governments. They had had enough. What better time to revolt in synchrony with the chorus everywhere. They have nothing to loose because the Arab psyche and image is at rock bottom. There is a dire call to regain some of the aura of past glory.

Nusantara disalibkan.
After Afonso D'Albuquerque's conquest of Melaka in 1511, the Nusantara was then open to proselytization. The cross becoming more evident.
On March 17, 1521 Magellan made landfall in the Philippines at an uninhabited islet of Homonhon, south of Samar. When they sailed to Limasawa, another island south of Leyte, Enrique (a Malay) was made to good use to communicate in Malay with Rajah Kolambu, king of the island-kingdom. Magellan was zealous in converting the Malay natives to Christianity under the guise of friendship and show of force that bedazzled them. Out of fear and bewilderment on the part of Rajah Kolambu and his subjects, along with his brother Rajah Siagu, they kneeled and kissed the cross of the Spaniards. That was on 31 March, 1521.
Francis Xavier (1506-1553) the Jesuit's apostle to the East visited Melaka 3 times and translated several Christian works into Malay.

Guess you must be writing a book on memoirs. Interesting with details of family life and tribulations in those days (though I haven't read all postings). In the earlier posting your mentioned about Selekoh. I used to pass an old madrasah there by the very roadside when driving to work at Sg Sumun from T. Intan. Now, I know who has led his mark there. May Allah bless Siddi, a pious man.
"Bapak returned to Sitti’s hometown in Selekoh, Perak, where Siddi had set up his waqf (pious foundation) and madradasah (religious school) in 1918. Although Siddi and the rest of the family had left for Makkah once again in 1937, his former students must have kept the waqf alive and Bapak’s family may have stayed at an ancestral home or relatives on Sitti’s side."

Islam kuda tunggangan politik NA dan dia dan penyokongnya pula menjadi kuda tunggangan DAP. NA is beyond recall. Nonetheless, things need to be said and stand corrected for that is required of Muslims otherwise we are deemed as collaborators. At stake also is Malay unity and hence survival.
On Point 38: Alfarabi (Abu Nasr Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Tarkhan Ibn Awzalagh al-Farabi, b.870-d.950) widely referred as "the second teacher" ie. second after Socrates was born in Turkestan. He first studied Islamic jurisprudence and music in Bukhara, then moved to Marv to study logic with a Nestorian Christian monk, Yuhanna Ibn Haylan.
Around 905, Alfarabi left Baghdad for Byzantium to study Greek sciences and philosophy for 8 years. He was among the first to explore the tensions between the philosophy of classical Greece and that of Islam, as well as religion generally.
Alfarabi's interest in mathematics is evidenced in commentaries on the 'Elements' of Euclid and 'Almagest' of Ptolemy, as well as writings on the history and theory of music. His political writings on the 'Philosophy of Plato and Aristotle' rendered him as the founder of Islamic political philosophy. He died in Damascus.

History is in the making in the Arab/Muslim world - Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, Albania, Sudan. For many years their leaders turned deaf ears to the needs of the people. They become arrogant. People are fed up with them. Food, justice and freedom are what they want very badly.
Mubarak has elevated himself to a pharoah. His heart is of stone to close Rafah and deny Palestinians to get supplies. Mahmoud Abbas is willing to kill his own people. Both of them are conspirators of Israel- U.S.
Let the riots be a warning to other Muslim countries Malaysia included. Ordinary people cannot achieve high income economy but want affordable food supplies. Don't let your deaf ears put this country in flame.
Muslim leaders are a sorry lot. History is in riot. The ink has not dried up yet.

In the days of lore when men rule and make wars, their folk tales passed through the generations are thus his-story! Kill or be killed. His-story was simple, no sensitivity.
Let history be simple. Face the facts. Once doctored and adulterated it would be like watching a movie based on true story - more interesting no doubt.
It goes without saying that the winner makes the history. History books said Edmund Hilary conquered Mt Everest, the sherpa was rather an after thought. Kulup Riau was with Camerons in discovering the plateaux in the highlands of Perak-Pahang.
Are we historiophobic? We hasten to forget earlier contributions and Malaysianised street names. Jalan Speedy no more. He was the DO of Hulu Perak at one time, dressed and went round bare footed like the local. Winstedt knows about the Malays more than ourselves.
The DOs of past make history, now they destroy. Historical buildings are neglected and torne down - Cameron Highlands, Kajang, Batu Gajah, Tampin ....

The government under Hussein Onn banned "The Malay Dilemma", this prolonged the Malays to slumber by a decade. Precious time for awakening was lost. Misjudged censorship has taken its toll. Even then someone didn't wake up and yet became PM in slumber!
Tun has been dismissed (censored) by UMNO at one stage. Despite many setbacks, to be able to persevere and continue to struggle for the sake of the nation is a mark of objectivity of a true leader.
Crooks will pry and exploit the loopholes in man-made laws. If we are vigilant enough the truth will prevail but normally damage follow suit in long overdue process of law.

Kampung Baru 2: Jan 11 2011
By al-Din on January 11, 2011 9:15 PM
Kg Baru adalah tanah reserve Melayu. Melayu dalam Tanah Melayu ada reservation? Implikasi:
1. Kolonialis melihatkan Melayu tercicir dan tersepit oleh kemajuan bangsa pendatang terpaksa memperuntukan tanah reserve untuk Melayu. Pemikiran mereka lebih jauh.
2. Dulunya Melayu (tempatan) tidak agresif keluar dari kampong meneroka tanah dan meluaskan milik. Yang banyak membuka perkampungan adalah Melayu Minang, Jawa, Mendailing dll yang berhijrah kesini. Mereka di Seberang agresif merantau/belayar hinggakan ribuan pulau ditakluki termasuk Natuna misalnya. Kita hilang Batu Putih. Ada hak tak tahu jaga!
3. Selepas Merdeka banyak estet dijual dan Cina membeli. Orang Melayu yang berupaya tidak ambil peluang langsung. Jelas perancangan kita cetek.
4. Nama saja Pejabat Tanah Melayu control, mohon tanah makan masa puluhan tahun kerana fail simpan dibawah maupun hilang. Oleh kerana terlalu ramai kecewa Melayu berperasan tidak guna mohon tanah. Tambahan "Kalau beri tanah, jual", DO kata. Siapa yang banyak menggadai tanah, tidak kerajaan negeri? Di Cameron Highlands - kaum Cina bermaharaja meratakan gunung?
Pernah saya syurkan supaya adakan lagi reserve/perkampungan Melayu di CHighlands selain daripada Taman Sedia. Sibuntu akal (Penghulu) cakap "Apa orang lain kata". Juga, disyurkan supaya tapak surau yang lebih luas disediakan di Batu 33. Sibuntu akal (ADO) "Tanah tidak ada!" Untuk agama pun tak berani inikan bangsa!
Melayu dengan tanahnya. Biarkan, biarkan.
Kg Baru adalah tanah reserve Melayu. Melayu dalam Tanah Melayu ada reservation? Implikasi:
1. Kolonialis melihatkan Melayu tercicir dan tersepit oleh kemajuan bangsa pendatang terpaksa memperuntukan tanah reserve untuk Melayu. Pemikiran mereka lebih jauh.
