Kulliyah Jumaat: Syurga dan Neraka di Tangan Tuhan

Syukur kepada yang Maha Kuasa kerana kita dapat bersua kembali dalam Kulliyah Jumaat minggu ini. Topik kita minggu ini adalah sambungan dari Kulliyah pertama mengenai Hal-Hal Murtad.

Baru baru ini negara kita dilanda perbahasan dan perbezaan pendapat mengenai hak seseorang berugama, terutamanya jika seseorang itu seorang Melayu dan ingin memurtadkan dirinya.

Ramai yang berpendapat bahawa murtad dari Islam adalah haraam dan hukum bunuh adalah wajib keatas seseorang murtad.

Tetapi apa yang saya hairan ialah Nabi Muhammad tidak pernah menghukum bunuh kepada sesiapa yang murtad.

Tetapi kita telah mempelajari bahawa pada masa itu ramai diantara golongan Yahudi yang keluar masuk Islam semata-mata untuk mengaut keuntungan lebih dengan menjual barangan mereka kepada saudara Islam dan apabila perniagaannya menurun kembalilah Yahudi itu ke pangkuan Torahnya.

Nabi Muhammad tidak pernah menghukum bunuh Yahudi tersebut.

Kita cuma ada hadith hadith yang meng-iakan hukum bunuh murtad tetapi nas hadith-hadith tersebut kerap diragui.

Tetapi ramai juga diantara kita akan menanyakan soalan cepu emas, "Tetapi hukum bunuh murtad telah dilaksanakan oleh Saydina Umar telah menghukum bunuh murtad manakala Saydina Abu Bakat telah memerangi kelompok-kelompok yang telah murtad beramai-ramai?"

Kepada mereka yang menanyakan soalan tersebut, saya ingin mengajak untuk merenungi kembali khutbah terakhir Nabi Muhammad, dimana dia telah meningatkan kita bahawa dengan peninggalannya Qu'ran and Sunnah dijadikan panduan supaya kita tidak tersesat.

Sunnah bukan hanya bermaksud hadith, tetapi juga tingkah laku dan contoh dari Nabi dalam menangani sesuatu masaalah.

Dalam khutbah tersebut, Nabi tidak pernah sesekali mengarahkan umatnya supaya mendengar membabi-buta arahan Khalifah Ar-Rasyiduun.

Kembali ke akhir zaman kita sekarang, ramai diantara kita ingin 'memperbetulkan' orang-orang yang murtad tetapi adakah kita sedar bahawa memaksa orang kembali ke pangkal jalan adalah sia-sia belaka?

Jika Lina Joy and Kamariah Ali dipaksa kembali ke Islam, ikhlaskah hati mereka?

Dengan memaksa mereka kita telah mempersendakan tiang paling utama Islam - untuk menyerahkan diri kepada yang Maha Kuasa.

Semalam mahkamah Syariah di Kuala Lumpur telah membuat keputusan untuk tidak memberi kebenaran kepada si suami untuk paksa-kenalpasti ugama isterinya. Hakim Zulfikri Yasoa berkata "hanya Jabatan Islam atau individu tersebut berhak memastikan sama ada mereka masih Muslim atau tidak."

Dengan itu, kita harus menerima hak individu Lina Joy dan Kamariah Ali untuk menyatakan bahawa mereka bukan lagi Muslim

Syurga dan Neraka adalah didalam tangan Tuhan jua, bukan didalam tangan manusia.

Dear Mat Rempit Hubris

The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) thanks you for your reply, Mat Rempit hubris from Carthage.

Hubris. Carthage. Impressive.

Before we go any further, our books on media studies state that most do not read beyond the first five paragraphs of any article.

Mat Rempit read a further two and then stopped. Figure that out.

We in the Siber Party of Malaysia (M) do not draw the distinction between low level staff and those in the higher echelons of the civil service in our drive to raise productivity with the most efficient and effective staff deployment and technology.

Something which the current government is trying to do but with little effectiveness.

However, your reply suggests that the Malaysian Civil Service is a giant welfare system to support those, as you said, people from low productivity sectors. Pray tell, why would terminating them transfer them to zero productivity sectors.

You mean they won't want to work anymore?

You mean they are really the parasites to the system as you disingenously suggested we meant?

Come on, Mat Rempit! Trimming the civil service to have only the most essential of staff well-versed in information communication technology that are paid well will free up funds for development and business.

Those who are terminated from the Malaysian Civil Service will get severance pay and with grit, determination, effort and training, transform themselves to entrepreneurs in the various development projects around the nation.

We do understand that those in the higher echelons will probably get more money than those in the other sectors but do remember, those young, fit and able, can always apply for transfers to other department in dire need of staff including the police force, fire brigade and medical services.

The world is their oyster. Do you want to condemn them to only working in low-productivity sectors as you claimed they are in right now? And why did you think of the gulags?

Most Malaysians have had it so good that they think a job in the civil service is an entitlement. We do not think so. Taxes from a section of Malaysians - the rich to you - pay for the salaries of those in the civil service.

Most low income - heck, those who earn less than 2,500 ringgit a month - do not pay any taxes. We do not think they are lazy but we are sure that they would want to earn more, aside from the ignominy of paying taxes.

The Siber Party of Malaysia (M) is committed to ensuring a Malaysia promised by the Father of Independence Tunku Abdul Rahman. where every Malaysian under the sun can go as far as they want too without any impedance.

Peace and Prosperity - with respect to all - is our aim. What is yours?

Merry Christmas!

The Silly Season

The seasons are turning and here we are, in the silly season where everyone wants something from Santa Claus.

Consider this.

Malaysia's 1.2 million strong civil service - through the main union CUEPACS - is asking for up to 40 percent pay raise and reckon they need another 200,000 comrades by 2020 to serve the nation of more than 30 million then.

We won't waste time and space to rant and rave about their work. We do agree that there are sectors that could do with more people and with more pay. We also agree that we have to cut the crap from the service.

While we have written and commented on this matter at other blogs, let us state our stand on improving the Malaysian Civil Service through the expert use and allocation of technology and manpower resources.

First, let's agree that the 1.2 million-strong civil service is a bit too much. By the way, CUEPACS reportedly has only 120,000 members. So we shall let them protect their members.

Our proposal is to slash the civil service by HALF, especially the administrative back-end that probably has more tea than the combined efforts of the tea-loving nation of England.

So, let's cut out the peons, dispatch boys, office boys, clerks, low-level officers that crowd around the canteen rather than do work at their desks. Let us automate their work through technology - using emails to communicate and to send files through the Internet.

We can also terminate the enforcement units of various departments and authorities in the Civil Service - such as the anti-khalwat squads, the traffic wardens and enforcement officers - most of whom are obese astride their powerful motorcycles.

Who are they chasing? Motorists who don't pay their parking tickets or those who litter? Do they need motorcycles for that? Let's just put up more wireless cameras that focus on the job rather than on thighs.

We can dispatch those assistant deputy directors and principal assistant directors and such out of the system and instead concentrate on beefing up the ranks of the medical service, the police, the fire brigade to ensure a safe, secure and healthy nation.

And yes, we can then double their pay - that's 50 percent more - of those remaining in the civil service.

You might ask about those terminated, dispatched and cut out of the service? Well, we won't be paying to keep them on the job doing nothing. They can use their severance pay to do whatever they want - either joining the ruling political parties to wave their kerises to writing blogs that lament their loss and castigate the powers-that-be. We won't name and shame them.

Of course, there are other ways to cut costs which we will table soon. So vote for the Siber Party of Malaysia (M) to get us to implement this programme. It is for a better Malaysia.

Merry Christmas!
