Paunang Salita
Ang Ka'aba ay ipinatayo ng propeta Abraham at ang kanyang anak na si propeta Isamil ito ay isang biyaya sa familiya ni Abraham upang ipatayo nila ang Bahay na ito. Dahil sa pagsunod at pagtalima ni Abraham sa mga kautusan ng Allah at binigyan siya ng biyaya. Dahil dito'y lahat ng taong mga Muslim sa buong mundo anoman ang kulay o pagkatao, mayaman man o hari o pangkaraniwan o pulubi ay puede pumapasok sa Makkah kung kaya nila ang gastos at iniikot nila ang bahay na ito at tatanggap sila ng gantimpala mula sa Allah.
Bahay ng Allah
Kubong monumento na nakabalot ng telang itim at nakikita natin sa gitna ng Masjid Al-Haram sa Makkah; may sampu, isandaan o libulibong mga taong pumupunta at lumilibot nito taon-taon dependi sa panahon ng araw; sa umaga, tanghali, hapon, gabi, hating gabi, bago mag-madaling araw, medaling araw at iba pa, dalawamput apat oras ng isang araw at ang mga tao ay lumilibot ang mga tao sa dakilang kubong ito. Iba iba ang dami ng tao dependi sa mga oras ng araw, at iba rin ang mga oras ng isang taon at dependi rin sa mga panahon sa isang taon. Hindi katulad ng panahon na alam na ng mga tao. Hindi sa tag lamig o kaya sa tag-init, hindi naman tag-sibol o sa o sa taglagas na panahon, ito ay mga panahon ng mga relihiyoso o okasyon ng Islam. |

Family visa now linked with salary |

P.K. Abdul Ghafour | Arab News
JEDDAH: The Foreign Ministry will issue permanent resident visas for wives and children of expatriate workers in the Kingdom, without considering their profession, Al-Yaum Arabic daily has reported. “The ministry’s office in Riyadh issued such recruitment visas for three days last week and stopped it temporarily. It is expected that the ministry would resume the service next month,” a ministry source told the paper. The news is a relief for many of the seven million expatriate workers, who are unable to bring their families on resident visas due to their profession written on their iqamas. The Foreign Ministry and the Recruitment Office only issued permanent resident and visit visas to those in white-collar jobs such as engineers, doctors and executives. The Al-Yaum report said the ministry would only look at the financial status of the applicant. “The family visa is no more linked with profession,” the source said. He said the ministry stopped processing applications in order to implement the new criteria. “This is a great news for thousands of professionals like me who are unable to bring their wives and children to the Kingdom because of the profession in iqama,” said Shabeer Ali, a computer engineer based in Jeddah. |

The future of Arabic language: A foreigner’s perspective (Part 1) |
|
|
|
|
By Abdul Hannan Tago, ArabNews I have been following carefully with great enthusiasm and interest the articles and discussions on Arabic language, appearing in the Kingdom’s local newspapers. Let me first salute and join in solidarity with the brothers, who have been defending the language of the Holy Qur’an. Since, I had the privilege to learn the language in written and spoken forms, thanks to Al-Azhar University from where I finished my Arabic course with a major in mass communication way back in 1992. Hence, I think I have something to share with all of you. As non-Arab expatriate, I was strongly encouraged to participate in this vital subject with a hope that such participation is constructive and useful and, that will leave and create a positive impact on the valued readers of different nationalities, creed and color holding different positions. |

By Samira Gutoc , YMPN (08-Dec-2009) Belated Eidul Adha (Feast of Sacrifice) greetings! FOUR Muslims are gunning for the Senate in 2010 – lawyer Adel Tamano (Nacionalista Party), feminist Yasmin Lao (Liberal Party) , Dr. Zafrullah Alonto (Bangon Pilipinas) and lawyer Firdausi Abbas. Former COMELEC Commissioner and election reform advocate Mehol Sadain (HALAL) and Amina Rasul of the Philippine Council for Islam and Democracy (PCID) were considered potentials but they begged off knowing the large “investment” needed by a candidate from a minority community. The last senator from the Muslim minority elected was two decades ago.
In a conversation with Vice-President Noli de Castro on the infamous Ampatuan town incident of November 23, he thought concrete results should come out of the martial law declaration. De Castro is married to a Maguindanawan, Arlene Sinsuat (a former high official at the ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs) related by affinity to the Ampatuans. |

The future of Arabic language: A foreigner’s perspective (Part 2) |

By Abdul Hannan Tago, ArabNews Arabic is a major language – a beautiful one at that – but many are wondering why many non-Arabic speaking expatriates are reluctant to study it, much more to send their children to Arabic schools to study. A fellow researcher, who is a Saudi, made a survey regarding it, and he found out that: First: Expatriates do not expect much benefit from learning Arabic language, and does not guarantee good future for their children both in Saudi Arabia and in their home countries.
Second: Saudi schools do not allow foreigners to continue their studies after graduation from high school here, which casts doubt on the uncertainty of their education. Foreign children attending school in Saudi Arabia at the primary level leave the school after realizing that they could not continue studying after high school. |

Ronaldo Z. Concha | Arab News
JEDDAH: Filipino groups in Jeddah have rallied behind a community leader who is running for senator in the May 2010 Philippine national elections. Nazruddin “Rudy” Dianalan, a systems engineer at Saudi Arabian Airlines and one of the most prominent Filipino community leaders in the Kingdom, filed his candidacy late last month on a platform of better welfare and protection of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families. “In my long involvement in community activities, I have seen the need by OFWs, especially those in distress, for a voice in the Philippine Congress,” said Dianalan, who comes from a family of public servants in the southern Philippine city of Marawi. “OFWs need a voice coming from a real OFW and I believe that once they become aware of our plan, they will support us,” he said. |

All Praises and Thanks be to "Allah" alone the Lord of the Universe and all that Exists, the most gracious the most Powerful, HE has no Partner and the Sustainer of all HIS creations and the one who gives guidance to whom HE wishes, and noone Has the right to be worshiped except HIM. I bear witness that Muhammad s.a.w. is HIS last Messenger the son of Abdullah and the Example to the Humanity in Actions and Deeds. He was sent as blessings to Mankind and the right guided one that should be followed.....
My dear Brothers and Sisters In Islam, I am reminding myself and each and everyone of us of the very momentous and tremendous days of Hadj. We must remember "Allah" to glory and praise HIM for all the bounties and countless blessings HE showered on us... Especially in this sacred and beloved days in sight of "Allah." According to the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. "Inna A'adhamuL Ayam indaL Lahi yaum Anhar" Indeed, the most sacred and the best days in the sight of Allah is the day of Sacrifice" meaning the days of Hadj...... the 9th until 13th days of Hadj.
