(mStar Online) - Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, hari ini menyelar tindakan bekas tahanan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA), Raja Petra Kamarudin, yang mempertikaikan prosedur ISA yang tidak membenarkan tahanan mengerjakan solat Jumaat.

"Solat Jumaat memang tidak diizinkan pada tahanan ISA. Jangan bagi alasan untuk mempertikaikannya."

"Saya bukan nak tuduh tapi saya nak tanya, berapa kali dia (Raja Petra) sembahyang Jumaat selama ini," katanya pada sidang media ketika melawat ke Institut Penyelidikan Produk Halal di Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) di sini, hari ini.

Zahid yang enggan mengulas lanjut berhubung hal itu bagaimanapun berkata, penulis laman blog Malaysia Today itu tidak sepatutnya mencabar aspek agama Islam yang telah ditetapkan itu.

"Setakat mana pegangan agama Islam dia? Sedangkan dalam blognya, dia ada juga menghentam tentang Islam," kata Zahid.

Ditanya mengenai dakwaan Raja Petra mengenai ceramah seorang ustaz dari Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) yang dikatakan menghentam agama lain dan kitab-kitab suci mereka, Zahid hanya berkata: "Saya tidak tengok. Itu dia (Raja Petra) yang kata."

"Saya tak pernah duduk dalam ISA dan saya tak tahu," katanya.

Semalam, Raja Petra yang pernah ditahan di bawah ISA selama 52 hari sebelum ini membuat laporan polis di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Senrul terhadap pusat tahanan ISA di Kamunting kerana tidak membenarkan beliau menunaikan solat Jumaat.

Beliau juga membuat laporan terhadap Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) kerana dikatakan menghina agama-agama lain.

Beliau membuat laporan tersebut setelah menolak untuk memberi kenyataan lain berhubung dakwaan Jakim yang mengatakan beliau menghina orang Melayu, agama dan orang Islam dalam blognya.

Kebanyakan aktiviti agama JAKIM memang menghina orang-orang bukan Islam.
Pada suatu hari saya menaiki bas ke Kuala Trengganu . Bas tersebut berhenti di kawasan Masjid Terapung Kuala Trengganu (masjid yang terkenal tu). Orang-orang Islam pun turun untuk bersembahyang subuh (aroung 5 something am). Sayapun terpaksa turun kerana nak guna tandas dalam masjid itu. No other toilets around.
So I headed to the mosque and asked one guy who was leaving the mosque if I could use the toilet. He was kind enough to go in and ask security /authority concern regarding my needs as I was no appropriately dressed .So the kind soul came back to me and saik OK. Happily I headed to the mosque toilets (which were outside the mosque).After using the toilets I stood a for a while and listened to the sermon which was aired . I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED. THE ONLY WORD I COULD CLEARLY REGISTER TILL TODAY IS KAFIR,KAFIR, KAFIR...

So much of KAFir was in the sermon/speech. Sadly i left the mosque and looked up at the sky and wondered what was GOD all about here ? I THOUGHT GOD IS LOVE AND YET DID NOT FEEL AN OUNCE OF LOVE ANYWHERE AROUND THE SERMON.

Hello Zahid!
RPK tak Sembahyang jumaat, tu urusan dia ngan Allah. tapi kamu tak benarkan tahanan sembahyang jumaat yang wajib, tak kira la dia tahanan ke, raja ke, PM ke, pencuri ke, UMNO ke, PAS ke, dah kira kamu dengan sengaja menolak perintah Allah.

and Hello Zahid!
Dlm artikel RPK, dia tak menghentam agama islam tapi dia menghentam penganut agama islam yang tak faham agama islam, yang menggunakan islam untuk kepentingan peribadi, yang memalukan agama islam yang sempurna.

I'm not that well educated person but i certainly can differentiated what is right and what is wrong. I've read every single artikel written by RPK and found nothing insulted to Islam but he certainly condemned the muslim who are not muslim enough.

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi:

What right do you have to stop anyone from knowing your Allah better? Even the murderer has the right to his God. When you prevent or disallow ISA detainess from performing Solat, you are actually 'acting' like God/Allah. That's the prerogative of Allah. DON'T ACT GOD IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN HOW GOD WORKS!!

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Salat al-Jumu'ah is a congregational prayer performed on Friday which replaces the dhuhr prayer. It is "COMPULSORY" upon men to perform it in congregation".

Looks like the UMNO regime had appointed a new "Grand Imam" and he had given the "fatwa" that Muslim men in the Kamunting camp do not have to perform Friday prayers.

What he is saying is that the ISA law is above his own God's (if he is a Muslim?)law!

Well, I have this to said to this idiot. . ., repent and seek forgiveness from your Creator, your own God (if you are still a Muslim!)

Mr. Minister of Religion, it is when one is detained by the fearless police of the ruthless home minister that one needs to pray. Pray that God takes care of those who abuse their power.

Anyway this issue here is why can a detainee not pray? Is there any law that says when detained you are not allowed to pray - even if I had not prayed when I was not detained? In the case of Islam, is it not a state religion and you fine people for not attending Friday prayers?

How did you qualify to be a minister of religion?

This UMNO goblok has openly confirmed what RPK has stated in his police report. Isn't preventing a muslim from performing his islamic obligations an insult to islam?
So what is 'Jack' going to do about it? Most probably nothing, as the nutcase involved is an UMNO goblok.

Shouldn't a police report be lodged against him for insulting islam?
Shouldn't he be charged under ISA for insulting islam?

Well with 'Baldy' and 'Patui' around, it will never happen.

"Solat Jumaat memang tidak diizinkan pada tahanan ISA. Jangan bagi alasan untuk mempertikaikannya."

I find this illogical if not confusing. WHY is Solat Jumaat tidak diizinkan pada tahanan ISA??? WHY NOT??? Does your Quran specifically say "Solat Jumaat tidak diizinkan pada tahanan ISA"? Is that Allah's law in Islam??? Does this apply to ISA detainees only? What about other prisoners, they can't pray on fridays as well??? Very weird.

Seems to me like Zahid or the Msian Govt is playing God! It is very sad that Islam (at least in Malaysia) does not allow ISA detainees to pray on Friday. Then, how can the Muslim detainees seek penance and redemption and return to God's path? I can only shake my head in disbelief ...seems like we have the weirdest country in the muslim world.

Zahid, tolong nyatakan surah dan ayat dari Al-Quran yang ada menerangkan seseorang muslimin/muslimat dalam tahanan itu tidak diizinkan untuk menunaikan solat Jumaat, tetapi boleh menunaikan solat fardu yang lain. Dan yang tidak mengizinkan itu datangnya dari perintah Allah SWT atau dari orang yang munafik semacam kamu? Tidakkah kamu sedar bahawa sesorang Islam (lelaki yang sudah akil baligh) yang tidak menunaikan solat Jumaat 3 kali berturut-turut itu telah melakukan satu dosa yang besar? Siapa kamu untuk mempertikaikan sama ada RPK menunaikan solat Jumaat atau tidak? Sekiranya RPK mahu menunaikan solatnya semasa dalam tahanan, bukankah itu haknya sebagai seorang Muslim dan mengapa pula ia dinafikan hak tersebut. Menteri Islam apakah kamu ni?
