The Question Of The Jews – Imam Khomeini

Any criticism of Israel is automatically censored by Zionist accusations of anti-Semitism. Nowadays this has limited mileage, as even ordinary people question this and begin to realise its just a ruse to cover Israel’s crimes. So for example they refuse to believe that Richard Goldstone who headed the UN fact finding mission on Operation Cast Lead is an anti-Semite or that former US President Jimmy Carter who wrote the book ‘Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid’ is an anti-Semite. Unfortunately due to the prevalence of islamophobia in society and a general negative media portrayal of Islam and in particular ‘political Islam’ this clear-sightedness is lost when it comes to accusations against Muslims. So it is that the recent Al-Quds Day demonstration, and in particular the founder of Al-Quds Day – Imam Khomeini – are still marred by such baseless accusations. In an attempt to clear this myopia, here we ask the question:

What was Imam Khomeini’s view on the Jews?

No right to lay a finger..

Imam Khomeini was exiled by the Shah in 1963. He lead the revolution from exile, his messages and instructions to the Iranian people would be recorded on cassette tapes, duplicated and smuggled in to the country. These taped messages form a good documentation of Imam Khomeini’s views. In a message recorded on 16 December 1978, Imam Khomeini states:

“No one has the right to lay a finger on the Jews in Iran, they are under the aegis of Islam and the Muslims; no one has the right to attack the Jews or the Christians who adhere to a religion revealed by one of God’s prophets”

Mata adik kelihatan bergenang dengan manik-manik air jernih. Raut muka adik kelihatan mendung. Mak tahu ini adalah hari pertama adik mendaftar di asrama. Tapi, mak tak sangka adik akan menitiskan air mata. Adik yang mak jaga sejak kecil adalah seorang yang kental dan keras, sungguh berbeza dengan abang yang sedikit lembut dan ‘beralus’. Jadi, mak agak sedikit kaget dengan reaksi adik kali ini.

“Adik kesian kat mak..tinggal sorang-sorang dengan ila je kat rumah. Takde orang lelaki kat rumah kecuali bila ayah ada. Takde orang boleh tolong mak pergi kedai, buang sampah ke tong sampah besar dan bantu buat kerja-kerja berat kat rumah.”

Masih terngiang-ngiang di telinga mak kata-kata adik itu. Itu rupanya sebab Adik sedih. Mak tahu Adik sayangkan mak. Memang mak pun banyak berharap kepada Adik sebelum ini. Memang mak suka kalau Adik tinggal dengan mak untuk tolong mudahkan urusan mak. Mak perlukan Adik untuk ke kedai, buang sampah, belikan makanan, hantar Ila ke kelas dan sebagainya. Kalau Adik ada di rumah, adalah juga orang lelaki di rumah untuk temankan mak dan Ila kalau jadi apa-apa.

Mak pun dah tua Adik, mak dah tak larat untuk buat kerja berat-berat. Kalau boleh mak nak duduk berehat je, memasak pun mak tak nak. Kalau boleh, mak nak semua kerja dibereskan oleh orang gaji kalau ada. Tapi apakan daya.

Mak pun tidak sangka Mak akhirnya tinggal berdua je dengan Ila di rumah ni. Mak tak pernah terfikir yang mak akan kesunyian macam ni dan mempunyai masa bersendirian yang sangat banyak. Mak tidak pernah membayangkan rumah yang besar ini hanya dihuni oleh 2@3 orang pada satu-satu masa. Mak tidak pernah menyangkakannya. Sungguh..

By Sakiinah Mahamad Hakimi

Today, 8 September 2010 marks two years since I arrive Cork where I went for an exchanged program between Universiti Sains Malaysia and University College Cork.

It seems like yesterday when I left Cork to go back to Malaysia, the feeling of looking down the field when I arrive and when I leave Cork definitely be a different feeling.

My heart beats faster when I saw the sight of Cork from the mid air, and it was until I set my foot at the airport that I finally woke up by the slap of the cold air. And it was the same thing that happened when I went home, this time, I wished that time could be stopped as I slowly walk into the plane (luckily no one was available to send me off, else tears would be streaming down despite putting that fake smile).

So, story cut short, I went through a lot of difficulties before reaching Cork, there was just too many to tell that its best that it remains a secret. One thing for sure,  I almost gave up going there due to these challenges so I just leave my affairs to Allah once I have done all I can. Alhamdulillah , things was made easy for me in the end & although it was not the first choice in my list for exchange, but it was certainly the best unplanned choice that Allah have planned for me. Verily, Allah is the best planner, for every difficulties comes ease.

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt

Keperibadian dan kezuhudan Rasulullah yang sanggup mengorbankan kesenangan dunia  dan kekayaan harta benda perlu di contohi agar hidup ini benar-benar dijadikan sebagai ladang akhirat.

Pada suatu hari, Saidina Umar menemui Rasulullah di rumah. Didapati tidak ada barang yang berharga didalam rumahnya kecuali sebuah bangku yang pelapiknya dari tenunan daun kurma. Di dindingnya tergantung sebuah guriba (bekas air) sebagai alat untuk berwudhuk.

Melihat keadaan kehiduan Rasulullah s.a.w, hati Saidina Umar menjadi terharu sehinga mengalir air matanya. Keadaan itu menyebabkan Rasulullah menegurnya, “Apakah sebabnya engkau mengalirkan air matamu, ya Umar?”

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim and assalamualaikum i bid to everyone out there,

Many a time we have heard of great people throughout the ages. Many a time we have seen a small number of people climbing up to the uppermost tier of success. However, how many of us made an effort to follow the underlying secrets these people hold in their pursuits for success.

History is intriguing most of the time; the only time I think it is not interesting and mind bogging is when I am forced to memorise dates and events on the dead and the past coupled with being tested for it; and it serves very much as a lesson and precaution for those who take heed of it.

Muslims nowadays have forgotten the importance of economy. We have forgotten the significance that underlies taking good care of the economic system. Our economic system these days is riddled with usury and monetary speculations that we are having trouble dealing with it religiously. Many rich muslims are different in their way of living and many more are ignorant on the obligations they have for the society and Islam.
