Isu arak di parlimen: Rembau terpaku, Pasir Salak, terduduk!

KUALA LUMPUR : Cubaan Ahli Parlimen (AP) Rembau yang juga Ketua Pemuda Umno, Khairy Jamaluddin memainkan isu arak dan judi di Dewan Rakyat ibarat meludah ke langit, terpercik di muka sendiri sebaik MP Machang, Saifudin Nasution diberi laluan untuk berucap.

Saifudin yang hanya menyatakan berhubung judi arak secara umum membuatkan beberapa MP Umno berasa kurang selesa termasuklah AP Pasir Salak yang kelihatan marah-marah dan hampir-hampir keluar dari tempat duduk asalnya.

Berikut ialah transkrip penuh ucapan Saifudin yang juga Setiausaha PKR sehingga membuatkan MP Umno tertekan di Dewan Rakyat.

"Dia (Khairy Jamaluddin) tak sukar kita memahami keberanian Rembau kebelakangan ini untuk dilihat berani mencabar Ketua Pembangkang.

"Sifirnya mudah, menang pemilihan parti (Umno), tak dapat jadi menteri, itu sahaja," katanya.

Maknanya, tambah Saifudin, perbahasan ini sekarang, diikuti oleh Perdana Menteri (Najib Razak) jadi keberanian itu akan diberi markah dan peluang untuk dilantik jadi menteri, itu sahaja.

"Jadi, itu fakta. Adakah Permatang Pauh (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) bersetuju, tak susah kita memahami budaya dalam politik Umno.

Maknanya dosa besar dalam Umno, ialah menegur dan berkata benar kepada pemimpin Umno itu berdosa besar. Parti agama, bangsa, Negara. Judi ok, arak ok.

Jangan cabar kita, kita boleh tunjuk berapa kerat dalam (Dewan Rakyat) ini.

Berapa banyak botol Arak dia togok dalam lawatan-lawatan pemuda Umno dulu.

Jangan sebut, kita boleh sebut, Jangan cabar kita, kita boleh sebut.

Jangan cabar, kita tahu, pejabat pemimpin Umno mana yang ada tong arak dalam pejabat.

Jangan cabar, waktu Wedding Anniversary, pemimpin pemuda Umno dihidangkan botol arak, jangan cabar kita,” kata Saifudin.

Ketika ini, beberapa pemimpin Umno merah padam walaupun Saifudin sekadar menyebut perkara itu secara umum sehingga Timbalan Yang Di Pertua (TYDP) Dewan Rakyat menegur sikap pemimpin Umno itu.

TYDP : Sudah lah Pasir salak, Pasir Salak duduk dahulu, Rembau, Rembau duduk dahulu, saya pun mahu dengar apa yang Machang nak cakap.

Saifudin yang dibenarkan berucap menyambung;

"Apakah Permatang Pauh bersetuju kalau saya katakan bahawa, dalam satu forum beberapa tahun lalu, selepas MP Permatang Pauh di pecat (dari parti dan kerajaan), di University John New Hopkins Amerika Syarikat, Pemimpin pemuda Umno itupun ada di sini, Bendahari Umno Malaysia pun ada di sini. berapa banyak botol arak dia togok, kita tahu, jangan cabar,” katanya.

MP Pokok Sena yang terkejut dengan pendedahan itu turut sama menggamatkan Dewan apabila berkata.'

Mahfuz : Tu dia, baru kami tahu. Allah Akhbar, apa pasal teruk sangat ni.

Saifudin menyambung;

“Sebab itu, jangan sampai kita sebut di mana, Hai kenapa marah (Khairy dan Tajuddin), kenapa marah, sebab apa marah, bersungguh marak kenapa, duduklah.

YDP saya bagi fakta ini, Bagan Datoh tak marah, Batu Pahat tak marah, Pontian tak marah. Rembau terpaku, Pasir Salak yang lebih, kenapa, kenapa, kenapa?

Sebab itu, jangan… jangan sebut,” katanya.

Ketika ini Pasir Salak yang sejak tadi diam, tiba-tiba menyinga dan menyalak dan dilihat cuba keluar dari kerusinya sebelum MP Machang berkata;

“Kalau nak suruh saya ulang diluar dewan, saya ulang, namanya siapa, tarikhnya bila,berapa banyak botol arak dia togok.” kata Saifudin.

Sebaik ungkapan itu diucapkan Saifudin, MP Pasir Salak yang sebelum itu marah-marah ke kiri kanan, terduduk sambil mencebikkan bibirnya..

“Sebab itu saya tidak boleh terima amalan ini. Dalam satu lawatan Umno ke Amerika Syarikat, ada pemimpin Umno yang tertidur dalam mesin judi. Kita tahu.

Jangan tanya saya pemimpin Umno mana. Bila semua orang dah naik bas, ada tiga lagi pemimpin Umno tak naik bas. Bila kita turun cari, rupanya pemimpin Umno ini tertidur dalam kasino judi. Nak sebut apa?

Pengerusi, cukup, untuk pusingan pertama kali ini. Adakah MP Permatang Pauh bersetuju tentang perkara ini, sekian untuk pusingan pertama,” jelas Saifudin.

KISAH AIR MASIN DAN AIR TAWAR..... SUNGAI DALAM LAUT

"Dan Dialah yang membiarkan dua laut mengalir (berdampingan) ; yang ini tawar lagi segar dan yang lain masin lagi pahit; dan Dia jadikan antara keduanya dinding dan batas yang menghalangi." (Q.S Al Furqan:53)

Jika Anda termasuk orang yang gemar menonton rancangan TV `Discovery' pasti kenal Mr.Jacques Yves Costeau, ia seorang ahli oceanografer dan ahli selam terkemuka dari Perancis. Orang tua yang berambut putih ini sepanjang hidupnya menyelam ke perbagai dasar samudera di seantero dunia dan membuat filem dokumentari tentang keindahan alam dasar laut untuk ditonton di seluruh dunia.

Pada suatu hari ketika sedang melakukan eksplorasi di bawah laut, tiba-tiba ia menemui beberapa kumpulan mata air tawar-segar yang sangat sedap rasanya kerana tidak bercampur/tidak melebur dengan air laut yang masin di sekelilingnya, seolah-olah ada dinding atau membran yang membatasi keduanya. Fenomena ganjil itu memeningkan Mr. Costeau dan mendorongnya untuk mencari penyebab terpisahnya air tawar dari air masin di tengah-tengah lautan.

Ia mulai berfikir, jangan-jangan itu hanya halusinansi atau khalayan sewaktu menyelam. Waktu pun terus berlalu setelah kejadian tersebut, namun ia tak kunjung mendapatkan jawapan yang memuaskan tentang fenomena ganjil tersebut. Sampai pada suatu hari ia bertemu dengan seorang profesor muslim, kemudian ia pun menceritakan fenomena ganjil itu. Profesor itu teringat pada ayat Al Quran tentang bertemunya dua lautan ( surat Ar-Rahman ayat 19-20) yang sering diidentikkan dengan Terusan Suez .

Ayat itu berbunyi "Marajal bahraini yaltaqiyaan, bainahumaa barzakhun laa yabghiyaan.. . "Artinya: "Dia biarkan dua lautan bertemu, di antara keduanya ada batas yang tidak boleh ditembus." Kemudian dibacakan surat Al Furqan ayat 53 di atas. Selain itu, dalam beberapa kitab tafsir, ayat tentang bertemunya dua lautan tapi tak bercampur airnya diertikan sebagai lokasi muara sungai, di mana terjadi pertemuan antara air tawar dari sungai dan air masin dari laut. Namun tafsir itu tidak menjelaskan ayat berikutnya dari surat Ar-Rahman ayat 22 yang berbunyi "Yakhruju minhuma lu'lu`u wal marjaan" ertinya "Keluar dari keduanya mutiara dan marjan." Padahal di muara sungai tidak ditemukan mutiara.

Terpesonalah Mr. Costeau mendengar ayat-ayat Al Qur'an itu, melebihi kekagumannya melihat keajaiban pemandangan yang pernah dilihatnya di lautan yang dalam. Al Qur'an ini mustahil disusun oleh Muhammad yang hidup di abad ke tujuh, suatu zaman saat belum ada peralatan selam yang canggih untuk mencapai lokasi yang jauh terpencil di kedalaman samudera. Benar-benar suatu mukjizat, berita tentang fenomena ganjil 14 abad yang silam akhirnya terbukti pada abad 20.

Mr. Costeau pun berkata bahawa Al Qur'an memang sesungguhnya kitab suci yang berisi firman Allah, yang seluruh kandungannyamutlak benar. Dengan seketika dia pun memeluk Islam. Allahu Akbar...! Mr. Costeau mendapat hidayah melalui fenomena teknologi kelautan. Maha Benar Allah yang Maha Agung. Shadaqallahu Al `Azhim.Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: "Sesungguhnya hati manusia akan berkarat sebagaimana besi yang dikaratkan oleh air." Bila seorang bertanya, "Apakah caranya untuk menjadikan hati-hati ini bersih kembali?" Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda, "Selalulah ingat mati dan membaca Al Quran."

Jika anda seorang penyelam, maka anda harus mengunjungi Cenote Angelita , Mexico . Disana ada sebuah gua. Jika anda menyelam sampai kedalaman 30 meter, airnya air segar (tawar), namun jika anda menyelam sampai kedalaman lebih dari 60 meter, airnya menjadi air asin, lalu anda dapat melihat sebuah "sungai" di dasarnya, lengkap dengan pohon dan daun daunan.

Honouring our agreements

The Government has now responded to Kelantan’s claim to a portion of the profits derived from petroleum resources extracted offshore by PETRONAS.
Its response violates the letter and the intent of a solemn agreement signed between each State Government and PETRONAS under the Petroleum Development Act.
That agreement is made out in language simple enough for a schoolboy to understand, in both Bahasa Malaysia and English.
The Constitutional rights of the people of Kelantan are denied. However this has implications far beyond Kelantan:
1) It negates an agreement signed between the Kelantan Government and PETRONAS. By implication, it negates identical agreements signed by PETRONAS with every other state and deprives the people of their constitutional rights.
2) The Government’s refusal to recognize a straightforward contractual obligation on PETRONAS’s part puts a question mark over the status of oil payments due to the other oil-producing states. The States’ rights to 5% of profit derived from the extraction of any petroleum resources is based on a quid pro quo according to which the States vested entirely and in perpetuity all their rights and claims to petroleum resources to PETRONAS. In return for this PETRONAS is legally bound to pay the states the 5% directly
3) If PETRONAS no longer recognises its legal obligation to pay the States what is due to them under the Petroleum Development Act, the States, and in particular Sabah and Sarawak, will now wonder if the corresponding Vesting Deed by which they vested all their rights in their petroleum resources to PETRONAS remains in force.
4) The Government’s response substitutes for PETRONAS’s legal obligations under the Petroleum Development Act an arbitrary “compassionate payment” from the Federal Government. This casts serious doubt on the Malaysian Government’s respect for the sanctity of contracts and the rule of law. Let’s not talk about spurring investment to take our economy to a higher level if we fail to understand the importance of abiding by contractual obligations.
I helped craft and negotiate the Petroleum Development Act. As Chairman of Petronas, I signed separate and identical agreements in respect of these payments with each of the Mentris Besar of the States. I must insist that PETRONAS is bound by them and that the Federal government should not interfere in their fulfillment.

Bersedia untuk naik minyak

Angkasanuri

Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob berkata kerajaan 1Malaysia akan memperkenalkan mekanisme harga baru petrol sebelum bulan Mei ini. Menurut beliau Majlis Ekonomi Negara akan menentukan sama ada harga petrol akan naik atau sebaliknya. Berdasarkan perkembangan harga semasa di pasaran dunia, harga petrol terus menunjukkan peningkatan. Jadi pengumuman kerajaan sebelum Mei nanti sudah boleh dijangka, harga minyak akan naik! Kecualilah, kalau betul-betul rakyat didahulukan dan gimik menjadi juara rakyat diutamakan maka harga minyak akan turun. Bila harga minyak naik maka faham-fahamlah, harga barang akan melambung dan seterusnya inflasi akan meningkat. Tetapi yang peliknya, menteri yang sama kelmarin berkata harga barang dijangka tidak naik lagi selepas ini. Tak tahulah siapa penasihat ekonomi menteri ini atau menteri ini memang tak belajar bab ekonomi. Bila harga minyak naik, kita wajar beterima kasih kepada kerajaan 1Malaysia kerana berterusan menjaga kebajikan rakyat agar kita terus berterima kasih dan mengundi parti juara rakyat ini pada pilihanraya umum akan datang. Maka semua rakyat di negara ini perlu bersiap sedia untuk naik minyak!

Now let us move on to a different field of Islamic Law and that is, how the Islamic jurists of the mazhabs have extracted Islamic legal maxims to solve new issues, which is not explicitly mentioned in Holy Quran and Sunnah Saheeh:

Example one: Allah forbids in holy Quran the eating of pork, except when one is under duress Allah allows it. The verse is mentioned in Al-Baqarah. The jurists have decided the principle or you can say legal maxim which is ''Necessity permits prohibitions'', and they have extended this legal maxim in to branches one of which is ''The degree to which a prohibition is permitted depends on the degree of the necessity at hand''.

Example two: A man came to Prophet (saas) and said that he finds something irritating in his stomach while prayer and he fears he may pass gas. The prophet (saas) said to him not to break his prayer unless he hears noise or smells something. The Jurists have extracted a legal maxim which is ''Certainty is not invalidated by doubt''. So you have done wudu (ablution) but you forgot after a while or after some time and is unsure about your Wudu or not, but the last thing you remember was that you did wudu, so applying this will imply that you do not have to repeat wudu.

The jurists of the mazhabs have extracted like this well over hundred legal maxims. The first man to begin writing on this was Imam Al-Karkhi of the Hanafi mazhab., back in about 200-300 Hijri, or close to it. The jurists of the mazhabs at places may vary as to how to implement such maxims, because it needs mastery to apply the proper maxim at the proper place at the proper way.

The question needs to be asked: ''can you by yourself reading Holy Quran and hadeeth saheeh be competent enough to extract such, apply them properly, without following a mazhab and scholarly guidance?'' You will just make a big mess of the order.

Let us now move to the field of Islamic court system or more proper to be called it as Islamic legal procedure:

A woman, wife of Muwaiya (ra) came to the Prophet (saas) and complained about her husband saying him as very stingy in spending on her. The Prophet (saas) said to her to take from her husband's wealth what she needs for her necessity, without her husband's permission. The scholars differed as how to implement this Sunnah but they agreed on the ruling. Their difference is that they asked this simple question: ''Did the holy Prophet (saas) pass down this ruling as a judge or a mufti (jurist)?''. If you say ''as a judge'' then it is not allowed for any woman to just take from her husband's wealth in necessity, without the court order of the Islamic state, because safeguarding the property of the husband, which she is entrusted with is obligatory on wife. If you say ''as a jurist'' then it is applicable on all women similar to the case of the mentioned wife in the hadeeth. If any say that the Prophet did it and that is enough for us to follow then it should be said, the prophet also ordered executions of capital punishments in Islam, so are to do carry out these capital punishments whenever we get the chance, by ourselves? That would make a chaos, in the nation.

Here again we see the necessity of following a mazhab and the necessity for the state to adopt a mazhab to implement Islam.

I do not want to extend the discussion of necessity of following a mazhab, because it can take pages after pages. There are many issues that have not been discussed such as the position of the mazhabs as to what constitute a saheeh hadeeth, or what constitutes an acceptable hadeeth. There is also the discussion about how mazhabs approached in case there has been a conflict in legal evidence, that is to say, how the mazhabs approached to solve such conflicts, and so on. In reality Islam has no contradictions, but it is lack of our understanding to this great and true religion at times. We thus need to respect the mazhabs whether theological or legal and should adopt one, and leave the analysis and interpretation to the masters, i.e. the scholars. Who am I, or you to throw away thousand years of legal and theological treasures of Islam with the good yet empty slogan of following Holy Quran and hadeeth saheeh, yet in reality we do not know what they imply of?

Understanding Islam
from

http://muhammadibnkateb.weebly.com/understanding-mazhabs.html

There have risen some people who deny the existence of mazhab, whether it is legal or theological. Their excuse is, the names which these mazhabs imply are divisions in Islam. They also state that such were non-existent in the life of Prophet (saas). They also say, we are only Muslims, and we follow only Holy Quran and Saheeh Hadeeth, and nothing else. Well all these are very remarkable statements and alluring but ignorance in its finest, which shall be shown inshallah, as we proceed.

What is a mazhab?

Mazhab is from the root word zahaba which means to go. If I say zahabtu ila Al-Masjid, it means I went to the mosque, or if I say Zahabtu ila zalika al-ray, it means I went to that opinion or view, i.e. I took that view as granted. The word mazhab is on the form of mafaal, in Arabic morphology, and it signifies name for time and place, so mazhab meaning in the context of Islamic theology and law the place to which scholars went to, i.e. opinions regarding Islamic creed and Law, they accepted.

As to the naming such as Hanafi, Shafi, Sufism, Salafi, Ashari etc all of them signify what they stand for towards theology and law, yet all are Muslims, because all of them have went to the universality of Holy Quran, and Sunnah, at the end and all of them agree on foundational issues, so in this sense they are Muslims, but on other issues they differ and they have their arguments, some are irrefutable and pure, while others are weak and refuted. These names is a representation of Islamic understanding regarding Islam, and it is a necessity to name such to know which Muslims stand for what in many fields of Islamic theology and law, and to give a proof for such valid naming the hadeeth narrated by Caliph Ali (rA), and reported by Abu Dawud in his Sunan which states: ''O people of Quran pray the witr prayer….''. The evidence is in the naming of the prophet (saas) with the name ''people of Quran'', so on such basis all good names conforming to Islam and carrying a valid religious meaning is permissible.

Also, in the time of Holy Prophet (saas) such was not needed as firstly the prophet's word was the ultimate solution for issues, unlike the times later him on which the prophet (saas) did not comment directly due to his passing away to Allah. Yet he left the guidance which was meant for all times, and scholars varied in their understanding on many issues of Prophet's Sunnah, as well as Holy Quran. Let us examine them like people who respect knowledge, unlike those who are moved by emotions and slogans. I will inshallah, give examples and illustrations from Holy Quran and Sunnah as to why the emergence of mazhab was a necessity:

Illustration one:

Legal question: Is selling of human milk permissible in Islam?

I ask you to find me any single verse of Holy Quran or hadeeth, which deals directly with this question. You can do your research later on, but first let us see what the Islamic school of legal thoughts (mazhab) said:

All the jurists of all the mazhabs have agreed (Ijma)-another legal principle which you won't find explicitly in Holy Quran and Sunnah- that the human milk has two conditions. Either it is inside the breasts of the female or outside. If it is inside then selling it is forbidden and it is a consensus of the Islamic jurists, due to the fact that the amount of the sold is undecided, and if it were decided you wouldn't know that that amount really exists in her or not. This is a way to cheat, and Islamic law prohibits cheat in transactions as has been understood from the intent of the holy texts.

The second condition is that the milk exists outside the breasts and scholars have differed on this:

The hanafis say: It is forbidden to sell human milk, because:

One- It is part of human, and any part of human being sold is a disgrace to his sanctity and dignity. Allah says ''We have honored the sons of Adam….'' (Al-Isra, Al-Quran)

Two- It is part of human and human parts are not liable to guardianship

Three- Their analogy on milk of pig as both being milk of an animal forbidden to be eaten.

The Shafis, the Malikis and the Hanbalis say:

It is permissible, because:

Just as hiring a milk-mother on contract is permissible, so too selling her milk.

Just as selling milk of pure animals such as cows and goats etc are permissible so too human milk because human is pure.

Legal question: Does a wife inherit when her husband is in deathbed and divorces her to prevent her from her inheritance?

The Mazhabs differed on this issue:

The hanafis say: She will inherit as long as she is in waiting period, and they showed proof from the action of Caliph Uthman (ra) and analogy (Qiyas). They say it is an established fact in Sunnah of Prophet (saas) that as long as wife is in her waiting period her husband can reclaim her if he were to divorce her, so too the wife can inherit as long as she is in her waiting period. (Refer to hanafi law books)

The Shafis say: The wife cannot inherit from her husband in this case, because the relationship ceased the moment the divorce was decisive, and a stranger cannot inherit from another person. (Refer to shafi law books)

The Malikis say: She can inherit whether she is in her waiting period or not, and whether she marries another or not. (Refer to Maliki aw books for details)

The hanbalis say: She can only inherit as long as she does not marry another or she does not become an apostate, because a wife cannot inherit from two husbands, on the basis of consensus of Islamic jurists. (Refer to hanbali law books)





Now tell me if any were to follow the slogan, only holy Quran and saheeh hadeeth to follow, in their deceived understanding, then it would mean a great backwardness for Islam. They by this imply that Islam fails to answer issues till the end of time and is not a religion which solves issues. If you open Islamic law books you will find thousands of issues on many fields which Islamic mazhabs has dealt with, in Islam's rule for more than thousand years.
