SISTER IN ISLAM: THE NEED TO REVIEW

1. I would like to give my response as requested by one of my reader regarding the issue of Sister in Islam.

2. PAS had give a clear message to ban or haram this organisation as it contradict with syariat Islam.

3. I am not the one who deeply know about this organisation instead I am not the one who always support its stand. But in my knowledge I know that SIS is the one that promoting rights for Muslimah or Islamic Women.

4. For me to ban is kind of rash action. If there is something issues rise up regarding with Islam or women rights then I suggest for a room of discussion that consist of SIS itself,scholar,government and PAS itself if they want to.

5. I am not promoting liberalisme but to ban as immediate action is kind of undeeply thinking about the consequences of the action. What we should do is to open up discussion, clear out any doubt and mostly to give clear image and perception on Islam.

6.Islam did not denied the rights of women.In fact Prophet Muhammad once said Education is subjected to all women and men. Furthermore such woman action like Siti Hajar the wife of Prophet Ibrahim has been adopted in pilgrimage principles.

7.But to have equal rights in every aspects are impossible. If SIS wants to have equal in all things then I suggest there should not be categories of man and woman in sports competition.

8.There is a limit in having equal rights. In jamaah prayer as example there is a hadith that clarify the position of jamaah in prayer. But women rights has been preserved since Muhammad saw era until now.There is a lot of Islamic figure in Islam such as Saidatina Aisyah, Saidatina Khadijah, Rabiatul Adawiyah and etc that contribute in Islam.

9. I also believe that for every great man there will be always a great woman behind him. So to protect woman right is obligation in Islam and any gap in certain area such as education, politics,economy,sports(now woman who wearing tudung can enter competition) and others should be discuss and review back in order to protect Islam's image.

10.Some argues that women should choose what they want to wear as they please and this perception I guess will lead to a stand that tudung is not compulsory.

11. If something valuable will you show it to public. Did you ever saw someone hold RM50 or RM100 in public and show it to other people? I guess not.Even you will never see Queen Elizabeth wear her crown in public. So tudung in Islam is just a sign of women honour and protect the beautiful of women.

12.If you think road signs and traffic light control your life then think again. They(road signs and traffic light) do not control but to guide you so that you can arrive at your destination safely.

13.And so do with Islam

  1. sometimes i thhink that by banning or haram an organisation that promotes muslimah's right will only prove to the western world that islam really do discriminates against women. but that does not mean i support sis because i think that they are too liberal in some of their principle. and yes, whatever it is sis, gov, scholars and PAS if they want to must meet together to resolve any minsunderstanding. isn't that what islam promotes? musyawarah.

    I stand to be corrected

    Cheers!

  2. Sisters in Islam (SIS) is indeed sesat. Mereka dakwa memperjuangkan hak-hak muslimah, tetapi sebenarnya mereka adalah musuh dalam selimut kepada Islam, mereka munafiq. Kalau non-Muslims tak faham Islam dan mempersoalkan itu ini, kita boleh terima, kerana mereka bukan Islam dan disifatkan jahil. Tapi SIS ni adalah orang Islam yang cuba mencari lubang-lubang dalam ajaran Islam yang syumul untuk disesuaikan dengan selera mereka. Tengoklah anggotanya pun, mostly tak bertudung, berpendidikan barat, tak mengamalkan ajaran Islam sepenuhnya. Jadi layakkah mereka nak bercakap tentang apa yang perlu diubah pada agama Islam itu? Layakkah mereka nak berbahas dan berhujah tentang tafsir ayat Al-Qur'an? Layakkah mereka untuk condemn alim ulama? Bukan setakat PAS, JAKIM pun dah banyak kali haramkan buku terbitan SIS ni. Kalau di Iran atau Pakistan misalnya, SIS ni dah boleh dihukum bunuh!

  3. hi zharif!
    i truly agree with your post
    all rules in Islam have it's own benefit, and it goes to women too...
    cumanya,manusia ni lah yang ubah d rules and timbulkan isu2 yang membuatkan it looks like 'berat sebelah'
    org yang termakan isu2 SIS ni mungkin terdiri drpd org2 yang xtahu ttg agama sendiri and xtahu mengenai sejarah Islam tu sendiri...
    Allah ciptakan akal n otak utk berfikir n mengambil hikmah instead of wujudkan pemikiran baru yang irrelevant...
    btw,it's a nice post and i totally agree with ur points...
    have a nice day!=)

  4. saya bersetuju ngan pendapat zharif... but asiah juga benar.
    kalau saya sebagai ketua negara yg bertanggungjawab ke atas umat Islam dan percaya bahawa saya akan disoal nanti tentang apakah tindakan saya sebagai ketua terhadap fitnah sebegini rupa , mungkin saya akan bertindak seperti PAS...
    Namun begitu, pendapat peribadi saya sama spt zharif.
    Yg SIS ni pun kdg2 terlampau ikut logik sgt.. kalau ikut logik, bila kita basuh kasut putih , yg kita kena bersihkan dan kapur betul2 ialah tapak kasut, sbb tujuan membersih ialah bersihkan bahagian kotor iaitu tapaknya...kan.kalau ikut logik la...
