Muslims should promote 'praying' as a form of exercise. I've attended Dr Amir Farid's Chi Qong class and he prescribed 5x sembahyang wajib, all the sunats, and the max number of tahajjud for cancer patients.Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823072530700201263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-17327057608984256922008-11-25T21:55:00.000+08:002008-11-25T21:55:00.000+08:00I had the very debate with my husband last night b...I had the very debate with my husband last night because I was just contemplating going for yoga class. Many of my friends do and they are very devout, 5-times praying Muslims.<BR/><BR/>Frankly I am offended that the muftis thought we Muslims are so weak that we can change our beliefs just because of an exercise! <BR/><BR/>And my challenge to the well intentioned faith police -- can you come up with a fatwa on the following:<BR/><BR/>1 cigarette smoking that obviously is harmful to health and is a definite trigger to some huge number of Muslim youths to fall prey to drug addiction<BR/><BR/>2 support for wives and children of Muslim men abondoned by their husbands. In such cases why not pass a Fatwa that it is automatically the other 'waris' responsibility to support these children?<BR/><BR/>Many other ills in Malaysian Muslim society that need looking into, and Yoga is not top of my list!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-49480061818561665262008-11-25T19:53:00.000+08:002008-11-25T19:53:00.000+08:00Sdr Pahit Manis,1.

Yoga in its totality -- the physical exercise, the mantra and chanting and the objective of seeking unity with God -- is clearly against Islam.<BR/><BR/>2. I had (in past tense) family members who attended yoga classes. Since the centre is owned and operated by a Chinese and the participants are of various races and faiths, the "Hindu" and spiritual aspects were not practised;<BR/><BR/>3. Also many Muslim owned yoga centres and spas are offering the non-Hindu type yoga exercise;<BR/><BR/>4. To avoid confusion and its association with Hinduism or any form of spiritualism, maybe it's proper to drop the name yoga and call it by a more neutral name;<BR/><BR/>5. I think its dangerous for anybody, especially a non-Muslim, to use the fatwa to challenge the authority of the National Fatwa Council and to insult Islam;<BR/><BR/>6. The current situation sugggests the failure of the government and its bureaucracy to manage information flow and to ensure that the media do not sensationalise Islamic religious issues; and<BR/><BR/>7. I wondew what role the Minister responsible for Islamic religious matters, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, is playing.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.A KADIR JASINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865106109792000636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-1992429509441616102008-11-25T17:09:00.000+08:002008-11-25T17:09:00.000+08:00Sepatutnya isu fatwa tidak perlu disensasikan dan ...Sepatutnya isu fatwa tidak perlu disensasikan dan jangan ada yang cuba-cuba ulas jika tak tahu. Kalau nak ulas, fahamkan dulu apa itu fatwa. Kemudian barulah kaji serba sedikit berkenaan yoga dan fahami kenapa fatwa pengharamannya dikeluarkan. Yang seelok-eloknya, akur sajalah dengan fatwa berkenaan. Tak rugi pun. Kenapa perlu dipertikai. Takkanlah kerana Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan ada kaitan dengan kerajaan, maka tindakan mereka keluarkan fatwa pun dihentam disebabkan kebencian terhadap kerajaan. Inilah sikap bangsat pembangkang. Kenapa perlu pertikaikan. Hanya yoga sajakah senaman yang terbaik dalam dunia ni? Kita masih ada alternatif lain. Jangan terlalu taksub pada yoga. Kalau malas nak buat senaman yang lain, amalan solat sekurang-kurangnya 5 waktu sehari pun sudah terkandung amalan senaman di dalamnya..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-58353773806803345032008-11-25T10:51:00.000+08:002008-11-25T10:51:00.000+08:00the best yoga/exercise is when you go for your 5 t...the best yoga/exercise is when you go for your 5 times a day pray plus a 'doa'and 'wirid'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-37044734562111832592008-11-24T19:01:00.000+08:002008-11-24T19:01:00.000+08:00I would just rename my Yoga classes to "Pilate" an...I would just rename my Yoga classes to "Pilate" and let the Majlis Fatwa do more research work on Pilate!

There was even a report today by its secretary asking Muslims who are involved in the Yoga business to change thenature of their businesses. I think its in Kosmo. How stupid can this man be. He thinks changing a business is like changing t-shirt ka? It affects the livelihood of people and you talk about Islam being a religion of compassion? Shouldn't there be some form of understanding and consideration before you utter such idiotic statement?<BR/><BR/>And there is this notion among the Malays (i say Malays because we are the ones who makes up the most of the confused lot)that a fatwa is the word of God. Proof of this can be found in an article written by a lecturer in Syariah in Utusan Malaysia (the one that has Razak Baginda explaining about Altantuya as its frontpage; its in the Rencana Section) stating that a fatwa is the word of God. What crap!. Every Muslim should know that there is no priesthood in Islam. Fatwas are man made because there were no similar situations during Prophet Muhammad's time. So so called ulamaks were the ones who drew conclusions about that particular situations based on their understanding of the situation. Thats doesn't make them God or what they say as God's words. It just makes it an opinion by another human being. This must be made known to the public before we degenerate into Talibanism as there are similarities in actions during the early years of Taliban's administration in Afghan and what is currently happening now. Muslims must trust their own thinking faculties<BR/><BR/>Penanak NasikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
