This blogger can be very annoying. notice those spaces in between some sentences? tried so many times to justify the thing, but to no avail. uff!

anw, i guess what's more important is the message. asal korang faham & dpt baca kire oklah kannnn? hee~

so yep, loOking forward to hear ur views n comments on this topic.

-some had thought the comparison was made in poor taste.

-some supported the idea,seeing it as a novel n creative way of doing da'wah.

-some sisters were offended, as they feel they are being compared to dogs.

So what say YOU? ;)

Asslamau'alaikum...

khadijah.... story abt the lembu and anjing... its a good comparison.. all the point that the reader have:

"-some supported the idea,seeing it as a novel n creative way of doing da'wah."

yep.. skrg ni... klw nk da'wah kan mcm ade susah sikit.. dgn lagik tmbah kaedah zaman skrg.. jadi dgn itu, cara kt berda'wah pon harus bertukar mengikut kaedah zaman.. tk blh lagik da'wah mcm ddulu waktu Rasulullah S.A.W...

dgn cara comic..is a gd way.. dlm gelakan tawa..ade unsur keagamaan.. dgn tidak secara langsung... pembaca akan terbaca dan terpikir akan kenyataan dan hakikat agama islam...

hmm... tp..klw wanita yg merasa dirinya dibanding dgn seekor annjing.. itu kt tk tau la kan.. tp pada kt.. klw wanita itu tk buat perkara2 gitu, die tidak akan terasa... to me, jadikan ia sebagai suatu sindiran, satu pengajaran dan satu perkara pembuka minda... if they only think, "why must we use dog as an example, and not like horse ke ape ke".. fikiran seperti gini harus tukar..

sebab anjing da khinzir memang najis... dan message yg ingin disampaikan adalah.. dosa yg kita lakukan itu (eg : pegang2 dgn awets), adalah lagik besar dari kt menyetuh anjing atau khinzir... itlah message yg we want to tell these people... they hav to think tat way... thee are no other examples that we can use to show the level of dosa when we bersentuh2 dgn org yang bukan mahram..

this is what i think, binatang ape lagik yang haram untuk disentuh selain khinzir dan anjing? hmm.. get it? so i guess thats the reason why ianya dibandingkan dgn anjing.. both of it da dosa klw sentuh... so, to show the level of dosa when we bergaul (berpegang2 antara laki dan wanita yg bukan mahram), its the best we bandingkan dgn anjing dan khinzir.. hmmm... thus from there we can know that melakukan perkara jijik itu lebih dosa dari kt memegang anjing... hmmm..

wallahu'alam...

"And order the Muslim women to lower down their sights a little and guard their chastity and show not their adornment but as much which is itself apparent and remain putting their head coverings over their bosoms. And disclose not their adornment but to their husbands, or to their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or to their or the of sons husbands or their brothers or the sons of their brothers or the sons of their sisters or the women of their religion or their handmaids who are the property of their hands or servants provided they are not men of sexual desire or the children who are unaware of the private parts of the women; and put not their feet forcibly on the ground that hidden adornment may be known. And repent to Allah, O Muslims all together, haply you may get prosperity." (Annur verse 31)

what spaces are you talking about my dear? u mean you would want to justify the paragraph or something? there's a html tag for it. :)

anyways, back to the topic. i've received this email before. and subhanallah, it really got me thinking. isn't that good? isn't that what dakwah should do? get you to think, ponder, realise and rectify it? i'm quite surprised that you mentioned some sisters feel offended. cos they shouldn't. likewise, as nizam said, if they didn't do it, they shouldn't feel offended. anyways, Allah swt made us all equal. although we are given the gift of brains, i feel animals should be given the same amount of respect like humans do. and yes, i don't deny i've touched dogs myself before. like the comic said, samak jer lepas tu. :) kerana like what have been mentioned, ia najis yang boleh disucikan. i don't understand why people would avoid dogs like they could kill you?? lebih teruk aids (which you could contract if you touchy2 here and there wif ur partner and lead to dot dot dot and you don't know who the fella has been dot dot dot with before).

as a person yang banyak berdosa, i support such dakwah to shake us up. it's sindiran in a good way. siapa makan chilli, rasalah kepedasannya. the fact that it hit u in the face and gets you thinking, it means that this dakwah works. ;)

wa'alaikumussalam wr wb.

1stly, thx nizam n lil^orion 4 the time n effort u guys put in for the comments.

just sharing my own "experience":
when i first received those e-mail messages from the offended sisters, i was very surprised, not pleasantly though. (haa!). to think that some sisters even felt insulted (yes, can u believe it?)by the e-mail and thought that the message could be preached in a better way, with beautiful wisdom.

for myself, yes, i agree that we should try our best to preach in a beautiful manner. But for this topic in particular, up till this very day, i've yet to come across this message being conveyed other than thru simply translating the hadiths.

till i read this e-mail, that is.

n from the comments of my fellow visitors here, alhamdulillah, i believe the comparison serves as a good reminder.

like what lil^orion pointed out:
"..it really got me thinking. isn't that good? isn't that what dakwah should do? get you to think, ponder, realise and rectify it? "

and indeed ALLAH n HIS Messenger know best :)

ouh, just to clarify what i wrote, i do agree with the sisters that "the message could be preached in a better way, with beautiful wisdom."

likewise, i also feel that we should come up with the "way" or means of preaching, n not simply resort to attacking others (in this case, the bro/sis who came up with the idea for the comic n created the dialogue b/w the Anjing n Lembu)when we ourselves are not successful enough in carrying out our duty as da'is (a.k.a pendakwahS :))

may ALLAH forgive my weaknesses in stating my opinions...
