what would you have done?
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:
"When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"
The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. "I believe, that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child."Then he told the following story:
Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,"Do you think they'll let me play?"
Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.
Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."
Shay struggled over to the team's bench put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart.
The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field.
Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all team mates.
Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.
Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base.
By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.
Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"
Shay reached third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third" As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet were screaming, "Shay, run home! Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team.
That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world.
Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his Father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!
AND, NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY:
We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people think twice about sharing. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.
If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people on your address list that aren't the "appropriate" ones to receive this type of message.
Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the "natural order of things."
So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up that opportunity to brighten the day of those with us the least able, and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?
A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats its least fortunate amongst them.

Turning Muslim In Texas *MUST WATCH!*
The documentary explores the lives of several Texan families. Muslim and Non Muslim, and their views about Islam and life in the West.
George W Bush may be backed by Christian fundamentalists but in his home state of Texas, Islam is the latest big draw. The Bible belt is transferring its allegiance to the Quran because, for many erstwhile Christians, believe it or not, the church is too liberal.
Eric was a Baptist preacher before he became a Muslim 14 years ago. Now he prays five times a day and even in the middle of watching a football game. His wife, Karen, also a convert, is covered from head to toe in the traditional Muslim burka. Islam, says Eric, is everything I wanted Christianity to be. His mother has found it hard to come to terms with her sons conversion and believes he will return to the Christian faith: Then he will be a dynamic preacher. Eric says: "Maybe some day she will embrace Islam."

my comments:
the videoclip is interesting! as i watched it, i couldnt help thinking of going to America and meet all the muslims there and get to know them. i especially like the hijab worn by the muslim women featured in the videoclip - burqa style. nice! hmmm...i wonder how to wear my hijab like that...
and somewhere in the last part, an interviewee was asked something like,"do you think george bush would convert to Islam?" hehe~~ he answered that he had doubts. well, me too! not in a million years maybe! but then, miracle can happen...even an evil inhumane murderer will convert to Islam if Allah gives him the Hidayah! =)
ok, enjoy watching the video! =)

Mixed Gatherings for Weddings
Fatwa Question Details
Name: Muslim - Belgium
Title: Mixed Gatherings for Weddings
Question: Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. What is the ruling on men and women
being together for weddings? Jazakum Allah khayran.
Date 19/Jan/2006
Mufti European Council for Fatwa and Research
Topic: Marriage
Answer:
Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon HisMessenger.
Dear questioner, we would like to thank you for the great confidence you place in us, and we implore Allah Almighty to help us serve His cause and render our work for His Sake.
Islam does not object to events or gatherings where members of the opposite sexare present in the same place as long as all abide by the Islamic teachings and manners. If such gatherings abide by the Shari`ah rulings, then there is nothing wrong with them. What is forbidden is khalwah (seclusion or between two members of the opposite sex); tabarruj (revealing women's attractions and `awrahs and all other forbidden acts such as seductive talk or walk); and physical contact between members of the opposite sex. Therefore, if the mixed wedding sticks to these instructions, it is allowed. But if people do not abide by these conditions—which is common nowadays—then the presence of men and women in the same place is unlawful.
Responding to the question you raised, the European Council for Fatwa and Research issued the following fatwa:
The term “mixed” is one which is not used by either the Qur’an or the Sunnah, while most people believe it to be an unquestionable matter in Islam, as though there were something in the Qur’an or in the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that states clearly that mixed congregations are haram (forbidden). This is one of the grave mistakes which many Muslims commit today, unfortunately.
Our opinion in this matter is that Islamic Shari`ah did not object to men and women being present in one place on condition that three matters are avoided and refrained from:
First: Seclusion (khalwah), that is, that a man and woman meet in a place where
no one else can see them.
Second: Adornment of women, that is, that a woman uncovers what Allah (Mighty and Exalted be He) decreed to be covered of her body, or she wears perfume or jewelry or walks or talks in such a way that draws attention and raises ill-thoughts and feelings.
Third: Physical contact.
If these three matters are avoided and refrained from, then there remains no legal objection to the congregation, whether it be a marriage ceremony or any other thing else. However, we see that people often do not abide by these conditions in weddings, and thus the presence of men and women in one place becomes unlawful.

telefon & sms antara lelaki dan perempuan
Seperti yang kita tahu, telefon dan SMS merupakan alat perantaraan komunikasi yang tidak wujud di zaman rasul, sahabat mahupun tabiin. Dalam hal ini saya mengembalikan hukum sesuatu perbuatan itu kepada asalnya, iaitu mengikut kaedah usul fiqh, asal kepada setiap satu itu adalah harus, selagi tidak ada nas yang mengharamkannya. Atau dalam masalah telefon barangkali dapat kita lihat dalam bab mendengar percakapan wanita , satu bab yang ada dalam kitab fiqh. Bercakap dan mendengar percakapan antara lelaki dan perempuan yang bukan mahram/ajnabi, dengan satu hajat atau tujuan yang baik, adalah diharuskan di dalam Islam, selagimana ianya aman dari fitnah, tidak menimbulkan shahwat, dan tidak melalaikan dari mengingati Allah Ta'ala.
Di dalam Soheh Bukhari dan soheh muslim misalnya, terdapat hadis yang menerangkan bagaimana Rasulullah mengambil bye'ah dari para muslimah dengan percakapan. Ibnu Hajar dalam syarah Soheh Bukhari, kitab Fathul Bari menyimpulkan dari hadis ini bahawa, mendengar percakapan perempuan itu adalah harus, dan suara mereka bukanlah aurat. Imam Nawawi pula dalam syarah sahih muslim menyatakan: dalam hadis ini kita dapati bahawa percakapan wanita itu harus untuk kita mendengarnya dengan ada hajat atau tujuan, dan suara mereka bukanlah aurat. (rujuk Mufassal, Abd karim Zaidan, jilid 3, m/s 276/277)
Antara dalil lain yang mengharuskan percakapan antara lelaki dan wanita yang bukan mahram ialah Al-Qur'an memperbolehkan laki-laki bertanya kepada isteri-isteri Nabi saw dari balik tabir. Allah berfirman: "Apabila kamu meminta sesuatu (keperluan) kepada mereka (isteri-isteri Nabi), maka mintalah dari belakang tabir ..."(al-Ahzab: 53) Permintaan atau pertanyaan dari para sahabat itu sudah tentu memerlukan jawapan dari Ummahatul Mukminin. Mereka memberi fatwa kepada orang yang meminta fatwa kepada mereka, dan meriwayatkan hadits-hadits bagi orang yang ingin mengambil hadits mereka. Pernah ada seorang wanita bertanya kepada Nabi saw. dihadapan kaum laki-laki. Ia tidak merasa keberatan melakukan hal itu, dan Nabi pun tidak melarangnya.
Dan pernah ada seorang wanita yang menyangkal pendapat Umar ketika Umar sedang berpidato di atas mimbar. Atas sanggahan itu, Umar tidak mengingkarinya, bahkan ia mengakui kebenaran wanita tersebut dan mengakui kesalahannya sendiri seraya berkata, "Semua orang (bisa) lebih mengerti daripada Umar." Di dalam Al-Quran juga kita dapat mengikuti kisah seorang wanita muda, putri seorang syeikh yang sudah tua (Nabi Syu'aib alaihissalam) yang bercakap dengan Musa, sebagaimana dikisahkan dalam Al-Qur'an: "... Sesungguhnya bapakku memanggil kamu agar ia memberi balasan terhadap (kebaikan)-mu memberi minum (ternak) kami ..." (al-Qashash: 25)
Sebelum itu, wanita tersebut dan saudara perempuannya juga berkata kepada Musa ketika Musa bertanya kepada mereka: "... Apakah maksudmu (dengan berbuat begitu)? Kedua wanita itu menjawab, 'Kami tidak dapat meminumkan (ternak kami), sebelum penggembala-penggembala itu memulangkan (ternaknya), sedangkan bapak kami adalah orang tua yang telah lanjut usianya." (al-Qashash: 23)
Selanjutnya, Al-Qur'an juga menceritakan kepada kita percakapan yang terjadi antara Nabi Sulaiman a.s. dengan Ratu Saba, serta percakapan sang Ratu dengan kaumnya yang laki-laki. Begitu pula peraturan (syariat) bagi nabi-nabi sebelum kita menjadi peraturan kita selama peraturan kita tidak menghapuskannya, sebagaimana pendapat yang terpilih. Yang dilarang bagi wanita ialah melunakkan pembicaraan untuk menarik laki-laki, yang oleh Al-Qur'an diistilahkan dengan al-khudhu bil-qaul (tunduk/lunak/memikat dalam berbicara), sebagaimana disebutkan dalam firman Allah: "Hai isteri-isteri Nabi, kamu sekalian tidaklah seperti wanita yang lain, jika kamu bertakwa. Maka janganlah kamu melunakkan suara dalam berbicara sehingga berkeinginanlah orang yang ada penyakit dalam hatinya, dan ucapkanlah perkataan yang baik." (al-Ahzab: 32)
Allah melarang khudhu, yakni cara bicara yang bias membangkitkan nafsu orang-orang yang hatinya "berpenyakit." Namun, dengan ini bukan bererti Allah melarang semua pembicaraan wanita dengan setiap laki-laki. Perhatikan hujung ayat dari surat di atas: "Dan ucapkanlah perkataan yang baik". Melalui hujah ini, maka harus untuk seseorang bercakap melalui telefon, atau menghantar SMS, dengan hajat dan tujuan yang baik di sisi syara' seperti yang dibawakan dalam contoh-contoh di atas serta aman dari fitnah, syahwat dan tidak melalaikan kita dari mengingati Allah Ta'ala. Semua ini hanya dapat ditentukan oleh diri orang yang menelefon atau memberi sms itu sendiri, samaada percakapannya itu menimbulkan fitnah atau tidak, melalaikan atau
tidak, maka kalau dia berdusta pada dirinya sendiri dan orang lain,maka itu antara dia dan Allah Ta'ala.

Untuk Difikirkan: perbandingan hidup
Jika kamu memancing ikan..
setelah ikan itu terlekat di mata kail..
hendaklah kamu mengambil ikan itu..
jangan sesekali kamu lepaskan ia semula..
ke dalam air begitu saja..
kerana ia akan sakit oleh kerana bisanya ketajaman mata kailmu dan
mungkin ia akan
menderita selagi ia masih hidup...
Begitulah juga setelah kamu memberi banyak pengharapan kepada seseorang..
setelah ia mula menyayangimu hendaklah kamu menjaga hatinya..
jangan sesekali kamu meninggalkan begitu saja..
kerana ia akan terluka oleh kenangan bersamamu dan mungkin tidak dapat
melupakan segalanya selagi ia mengingatimu..
Jika kamu menadah air biarlah berpada..
jangan terlalu mengharap pada takungannya..
dan janganlah menganggap ia begitu teguh..
cukuplah sekadar keperluanmu..
apabila sekali ia retak..
tentu sukar untuk kamu menampalnya semula..
akhirnya ia dibuang..
sedangkan jika kamu cuba membaikinya mungkin ia masih dapat dipergunakan
lagi..
Begitu juga jika kamu memiliki seseorang.. terimalah seadanya..
janganlah kamu terlalu mengaguminya..
dan janganlah kamu menganggapnya begitu istimewa..
anggaplah
dia manusia biasa..
apabila sesekali dia melakukan kesilapan, bukan mudah bagi kamu untuk
menerimanya..
akhirnya kamu kecewa dan meninggalkannya..
sedangkan jika kamu memaafkannya..
boleh jadi hubungan kamu akan terus hingga ke akhirnya..
Jika kamu telah memiliki sepinggan nasi..
yang kamu pasti baik untuk diri kamu..
mengenyangkan.. berkhasiat..
mengapa kamu berlengah cuba mencari makanan yang lain..
terlalu ingin mengejar kelazatan..
kelak nasi itu akan basi dan kamu tidak boleh memakannya..
kamu akan menyesal..
begitu juga jika kamu telah bertemu dengan seorang insan..
yang pasti membawa kebaikan kepada dirimu..
menyayangimu.. mengasihimu..
mengapa kamu berlengah,cuba membandingkannya dengan yang lain..
terlalu mengejar kesempurnaan..
kelak kamu akan kehilangannya apabila ia menjadi milik org lain..
kamu juga
akan menyesal..
"Bersyukur dan Redha dengan ape yang dikurniakan
olehNya...Alhamdulillah.."
setelah ikan itu terlekat di mata kail..
hendaklah kamu mengambil ikan itu..
jangan sesekali kamu lepaskan ia semula..
ke dalam air begitu saja..

menderita selagi ia masih hidup...

kelak nasi itu akan basi dan kamu tidak boleh memakannya..
kamu akan menyesal..
begitu juga jika kamu telah bertemu dengan seorang insan..
yang pasti membawa kebaikan kepada dirimu..
menyayangimu.. mengasihimu..
mengapa kamu berlengah,cuba membandingkannya dengan yang lain..
terlalu mengejar kesempurnaan..
kelak kamu akan kehilangannya apabila ia menjadi milik org lain..
kamu juga
akan menyesal..
"Bersyukur dan Redha dengan ape yang dikurniakan
olehNya...Alhamdulillah.."

Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows!

My dear sisters in Islam, please take a look at this advice, so that
you can stay attractive and beautiful for the rest of your life.
1- To beautify your eyes, lower your gaze towards strange men, this
will make your eyes pure and shiny.
2- To have attractive lips, always remember to speak the truth.
3- As for blush and rouge, "Modesty" (Haya') is one of the best brands
and it can be found in any of the Islamic centers.
4- To remove impurites from your face and body, use a soap called
"Istighfaar". Insha'Allah this soap will remove any bad deeds.(Ameen)
5- Now about your hair, if any of you has a problem of hair split ends,
then I suggest "Islamic Hijaab" which will protect your hair from damage.
6- As! for jewellery, beautify your hands with humbleness and let your
hands be a power to forgive people who hurt your feelings. And the necklace should be a sign to pardon you fellow brothers and sisters.
Insha'Allah, if you follow this advice given to you by the Creator
a beautiful and attractive inner and outer appearance.
Be Careful With AHOY cookies!
Kraft Canada has informed eat-halal.com that animal
rennet is used during the production of the whey in Peanut Butter Chips
Ahoy
cookies. This bad news overshadows the good news: only vegetable
shortening is used in the cookies, which is of note, since the Ahoy family
still
has an on-going relationship with lard. Chunks Ahoy! and some varieties of
Chips Ahoy could contain the ingredient, giving them the distinction of
being from the very few food items in supermarkets nowadays still made
with rendered pig fat. Therefore, we advise Muslim consumers to carefully
read the ingredients label when buying any of the Ahoy! cookies.

This is what you get for being kind hearted
USPS
---- There was a man who worked for the Post Office, whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came to his desk, addressed in a shaky handwriting, to God. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. He opened it and read:
Dear God, I am an 93 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100.00 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?
Sincerely,Edna
The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all of the other workers. Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96.00, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all of the workers felt a warm glow for the kind thing they had done. Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the old lady, to God.All of the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:
Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post Office.
Sincerely,Edna

Buat Tatapan Semua...
ASSALAMUALAIKUM WBT...
tatapan dan iktibar pada kita,insyaallah.wassalam
Dalam Kerendahan Diri, Ada Ketinggian Budi,
Dalam Kemiskinan Harta, Ada Kekayaan Jiwa,
Dalam Kesempitan Hidup, Ada Keluasan Ilmu,
Hidup Ini Indah Jika, Segala2nya Kerana Allah..
Jangan, jangan dan jangan
Jangan sengaja lewatkan solat.
Perbuatan ini Allah tidak suka.
Kalau tertidur lain cerita.
Jangan masuk ke bilik air tanpa memakai alas kaki (selipar).
Takut kalau-kalau terbawa keluar najis,
mengotori seluruh rumah kita.
Jangan makan dan minum dalam
bekas yang pecah atau sumbing.
Makruh kerana ia membahayakan.
Jangan biarkan pinggan mangkuk yang telah
digunakan tidak berbasuh.
Makruh dan mewarisi kepapaan.
Jangan tidur selepas solat Subuh, nanti
rezeki mahal
(kerana berpagi-pagi itu membuka pintu berkat).
Jangan makan tanpa membaca BISMILLAH dan doa makan.
Nanti rezeki kita dikongsi syaitan.
Jangan keluar rumah
tanpa niat untuk membuat kebaikan.
Takut-takut kita mati dalam
perjalanan.
Jangan pakai sepatu atau selipar yang
berlainan pasangan.
Makruh dan mewarisi kepapaan.
Jangan biarkan mata liar di perjalanan.
Nanti hati kita gelap
diselaputi dosa.
Jangan menangguh taubat bila berbuat
dosa kerana mati boleh datang
bila-bila masa.
Jangan ego untuk meminta maaf pada
ibu bapa dan sesama manusia
kalau memang kita bersalah.
Jangan mengumpat sesama rakan
taulan. Nanti rosak persahabatan kita
hilang bahagia.
Jangan lupa bergantung kepada ALLAH
dalam setiap kerja kita. Nanti
kita sombong apabila berjaya.
Kalau gagal kecewa pula.
Jangan bakhil untuk bersedekah.
Sedekah itu memanjangkan umur
dan memurahkan rezeki kita.
Jangan banyak ketawa. Nanti mati jiwa.
Jangan biasakan berbohong, kerana ia adalah
ciri-ciri munafik dan
menghilangkan kasih orang kepada kita.
Jangan suka menganiaya manusia atau haiwan. Doa
makhluk yang teraniaya
cepat dimakbulkan ALLAH.
Jangan terlalu susah hati dengan urusan dunia.
Akhirat itu lebih utama
dan hidup di sana lebih lama dan kekal selamanya.
Jangan mempertikaikan kenapa ISLAM itu berkata JANGAN.
Sebab semuanya untuk keselamatan kita.
ALLAH lebih tahu apa yang terbaik
untuk hamba ciptaanNya.

Edisi Nasional: Ayam haram
Oleh Mohd Jamilul Anbia Md Denin
KUALA LUMPUR: Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) menarik balik sijil pengesahan halal yang diberikan kepada syarikat Dindings Poultry Processing Sdn Bhd berikutan proses penyembelihan ayam di kilangnya meragukan.
Difahamkan antara kesalahan dikesan Jakim iaitu sesetengah ayam disembelih dua kali selepas penyembelihan pertama tidak sempurna dan ada ayam sudah mati sebelum disembelih.
Pengumuman berhubung penarikan balik sijil itu disiarkan dalam laman web Jakim melalui www.halaljakim.gov.my, bertarikh 3 Januari lalu.
Laman web itu yang menjadi rujukan rasmi sijil halal Jakim menjelaskan Sijil Pengesahan Halal Jakim bagi Syarikat Ayam Dindings Poultry Processing Sdn Bhd ditarik balik sehingga diberitahu kelak.
Pengarah Bahagian Kajian Makanan dan Barangan Gunaan Islam Jakim, Che Hassan Fahmi Che Mamat yang dihubungi Harian Metro, petang semalam, mengesahkan mengenai tindakan Jakim itu.
Menurutnya, setiap pemegang sijil halal bertanggungjawab ke atas sebarang penyalahgunaan syarat ditetapkan Jakim.
"Dalam kes ini, saya menganggap tindakan menarik semula sijil halal syarikat itu dapat memberi pengajaran kepada industri besar supaya tidak menganggap isu halal sebagai remeh."
"Isu ini tidak harus dipandang 'main-main' kerana kesannya amat serius kepada umat Islam di negara ini," katanya yang meminta tindakan Jakim itu tidak perlu dipertikaikan.
Ini kerana Sijil Pengesahan Halal boleh ditarik balik atau ditamatkan tempoh sahnya bila-bila masa apabila didapati ia menyalahi Prosedur Pensijilan Halal Malaysia yang sudah ditetapkan atau terdapat perkara atau cara pengendalian yang meragui dari segi hukum syarak.
"Bagaimanapun, Jakim sedia bertolak ansur sekiranya pihak pengurusan syarikat itu membuat rayuan. Terpulang kepada keupayaan mereka untuk membetulkan kesilapan dan meyakinkan semula Jakim berhubung perkara yang menjadi isu."
"Rayuan terbabit akan dipertimbangkan oleh Panel Pengesahan Halal Jakim dan penilaian akan dibuat secara teliti bagi memastikan kesalahan itu diperbetulkan," katanya.
Beliau turut mengatakan Jakim boleh menyenaraihitamkan mana-mana syarikat yang gagal mematuhi syarat dan peraturan Prosedur Pensijilan Halal Malaysia.
Sementara itu, menurut sumber Jakim, sepasukan pegawai penguat kuasa Jakim dengan bantuan pegawai penguat kuasa Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPDNHEP) mengadakan pemeriksaan mengejut di kilang pemprosesan ayam milik syarikat itu di Kawasan Perindustrian Kampung Aceh, Setiawan, Perak, Rabu lalu.
Katanya, pemeriksaan mendapati terdapat beberapa kesalahan membabitkan proses penyembelihan yang meragukan.
Menurutnya, kesalahan ketara adalah sesetengah ayam disembelih dua kali disebabkan penyembelihan pertama tidak sempurna.
"Ini sekali gus membuktikan ayam terbabit haram dimakan. Penyembelihan yang dilakukan dengan pantas itu menyebabkan tidak putus salah satu urat sama ada urat halkum atau urat marikh pada ayam terbabit yang diwajibkan mengikut syarak," katanya.
Justeru, penguat kuasa Jakim segera melakukan soal siasat bergilir-gilir terhadap 'tukang sembelih' ayam yang bertugas di kilang itu untuk mendapatkan penjelasan terperinci.
Sumber itu mengatakan pekerja berkenaan mengaku ada menyembelih ayam dua kali untuk menjimatkan masa berikutan terlalu banyak ayam yang perlu diproses.
"Malah, kami turut menemui bukti apabila mendapati ada ayam yang
disembelih tidak putus urat leher sepenuhnya."
"Selain itu, proses melayikan ayam menggunakan air panas didapati dikawal oleh pekerja bukan Islam. Ini secara langsung melanggari syarat sah penyembelihan untuk haiwan halal yang mewajibkan ia dilakukan oleh individu beragama Islam" katanya.
Menurutnya, siasatan lanjut mendapati terlalu banyak keraguan yang munasabah berikutan penemuan berpuluh ayam yang disembelih dalam keadaan tidak sempurna iaitu haram untuk dimakan oleh orang Islam.
"Jakim tidak mempunyai pilihan dan terpaksa menarik sijil pengesahan
halal diberi walaupun ia sepatutnya luput pada 14 Disember tahun ini" katanya.
Beliau berkata, syarikat itu tidak sekadar menjadi pembekal ayam siap diproses ke pasar raya utama seluruh negara, malah kepada syarikat makanan segera.
Disebabkan ayam yang diproses syarikat itu mendapat permintaan tinggi, katanya, Jakim sudah menghantar surat rasmi mengenai penarikan sijil pengesahan halal terbabit kepada pasar raya dan syarikat makanan segera.
Surat sama turut dihantar kepada pejabat agama Islam dan pejabat Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri Dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPDNHEP) setiap negeri.
"Pusat beli-belah terkemuka, pasar raya dan pemborong perlu menghentikan serta merta penjualan ayam keluaran syarikat terbabit" katanya.
Berikutan pengumuman Jakim itu, pihak Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) melakukan siasatan terhadap 10 pusat beli-belah dan pasar raya utama di ibu kota, semalam.
Mereka mendapati masih terdapat beberapa premis yang menjual produk berasaskan ayam keluaran syarikat terbabit.
Koordinator Projek Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM), Noor Nirwandy Mat Noordin, berkata tindakan diambil selepas pihaknya menerima pengumuman rasmi melalui laman web Jakim pagi semalam.
Menurutnya, kebanyakan pasar raya utama sudah menghentikan penjualan ayam dari kilang ayam itu di Perak, namun produk siap diproses seperti ayam bersalut tepung dan nugget yang mempunyai logo halal Jakim masih dijual.
"Hukuman lebih berat perlu digubal kerana hukuman sedia ada terlalu ringan," katanya yang meminta sudah tiba masanya Akta Halal digubal bagi mengawal kegiatan penyalahgunaan atau penyelewengan sijil halal Jakim.
