Personally , nothing significant about the New Year ( 2009 ) and it's celeberation . I do not know why youths of today pay so much importance to the New Year celeberation . I noticed over the past decade this negative development have been hovering over their heads and thus easily influenced by it .The medias such as the newspapers and the TV stations too are to be blamed for highlighting on it . Intended celeberations of the New Year were made known to the public every other hours on TVs and radios . Our political leaders too were also the culprits for having a hand in them . Thus it is not surprising when youths , young and old came in droves to the venues . Those with a little bit extras in their pockets would continue their activities into the nights till morning in the hotels ,apartments etc. where bottles of liquor by the crates were consumed and then followed by sex parties . It is a shame for a Muslim country such as ours to have allowed or condoned such activities . Such activities are proned in this country , due to our political masters who the majority of them do not realize the that they are answerable to God for failure to abide by God's rule as stated in the Quran ( al-Maidah 5: 44 , 5: 45 , 5: 47 5: 48 ) and the Hadiths . They are too busy with worldly comforts that they have forgotten their obligation to the Creator . Many Muslims do not realize that it is the responsibility of each and every one of them to ensure that Syariah Laws be implemented . All of us are anwerable to Allah for failure to abide by the divine instruction as stated in the holy Quran ( al-Maidah 5: 49 ) . As leaders it is incumbent upon them to try their level best to implement it . I truly believe we will be able to rid our youths off the negative culture ,by implementing and enforcing the ' Syariah Laws' in this country .
I do not see any reason for non-Muslims to be wary of the ' Syariah Laws ' . First and foremost it does not affect them . The ' Syariah Laws ' would be enforced only on Muslims . It is like the requirements for all Muslims to pray 5 times daily or fasting during the month of Ramadhan .The non-Muslims are not required to do so . So why make fuss over the non issue .The non-Muslims should realize that the implementation of the Syariah is a divine instruction from God to all Muslims , failing which all of us ( Muslims ) would be committing sins and thus would face the wrath from God . Many people have a misconception about 'hudud' .Hudud is just the punishment on six or seven offences ( such as thefts , robbery ,sex offences, false accusation of sex offences, liquor consumption and apostacy ) which must be meted according to God's instruction , as stipulated in the Quran. But for hudud punishment to stand is not an easy task . The prosecution has to have 2 ' reliable' eye-witnesses to the offences and for sexual offences there must be 4 'reliable' witnesses . Now , where on earth a person commits theft or rape and etc. witnessed by 2 and 4 people respectively unless it is done in broad day-light ( which if it happens they should deserve the harshest punishment ). This however does not mean that the perpetrators would easily escape scott free . They would still be subjected to the existing laws and be punished accordingly . Only cases that have the 2 and 4 'reliable' eye-witnesses would be subjected to 'hudud' punishment or what has been wrongly termed by those opposed to it's implementation as 'capital' punishment which they also say as barbaric .
I hope the government especially , Muslim scholars and all Muslims in general would make all efforts to explain to Muslims and non-Muslims alike in order to update their knowledge on Syariah and what is 'hudud' punishment so that they would have a better understanding of Islam .
