Dan yang paling rendah adalah menghindarkan gangguan dari jalan.
Sedangkan malu adalah sebahagian dari iman.

Rukun Iman adalah enam:-
Beriman kepada Allah, Malaikat-MalaikatNya, Kitab-KitabNya, Rasul-RasulNya, Hari Akhir dan ketentuan (takdir) Allah s.w.t yang baik dan buruk.

Dalil mengenai rukun iman yang enam tersebut dapat ditemukan dalam firman Allah yang maksudnya:-
“Bukanlah menghadapkan wajahmu kearah timur dan barat itu suatu kebajikan, akan tetapi kebajikan itu adalah beriman kepada Allah, Hari Kemudian, Malaikat-Malaikat Allah, Kitab-Kitab Allah, dan Nabi-Nabi.” (Al-Baqarah: 177)

Mac comes with Safari much like Internet Explorer is built in Windows.
However, it does not mean that a user should use the default browser given with a particular operating system.
There are a lot of alternatives available for a user regardless of the operating system he or she uses.
The same goes to the Mac Lion X.

Here are some browsers that are worth noting:

Camino
A name that might ring a bell to those using previous version of Mac OS, Camino is specially optimized for Mac OS X including Lion.
A feature worth noting includes Keychain support along with all the other standard features that comes with a typical web browser.

Chrome
Chrome is a favorite amongst PC and Mac users alike.
Being one of the speediest and lightweight browsers has its advantage with all the other browsers.
New features are also being implemented such as full screen as an API for this feature has been released along with Lion X.

Opera
Being one of the oldest web browsers, Opera has a browser for almost all platforms.
Improvements have been made on Opera Desktop for Mac.

Like Chrome, it also took advantage of the new APIs inside Lion X.

It also looks better than the previous versions as certain modification have been made to its styling.

New Lion X users should not hesitate in using any of these web browsers as an alternate to Safari.
In fact, some of these even perform better than the latter.

I would not recommend Firefox for Mac Lion X because it is kind of buggy, most of the people who used it had some problems.

So, until they will make an update I suggest staying away.

Perbuatan sedemikian dah dianggap menggadai akidah?

Di dunia ini, kita kan hidup berbilang kaum, bangsa dan ugama.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak adelah Ketua Negara atau sesiapa sahaja, adekah menjadi satu kesalahan beliau atau orang-orang Muslimin melawat ataupon menziarahi ke tempat-tempat sebegitu?

Adekah iman dia atau kita akan jatuh, gugur dan lupus kepada Allah s.w.t?
Kalau ia benar-benar terjadi, ini menunjukkan Iman dan Taqwa kita lemah kepada Allah s.w.t.

Lain la kalau kita pergi ke tempat sedemikian dan disuruhnya kita menyembah berhala atau menyembah benda-benda lain selain Allah.
Akan tetapi kalau niat kita menyembah berhala tersebut dan menganggap bahawasanya berhala itu Tuhan kita, baru dinamakan SYIRIK.

Bukan itu sahaja, kalau sesorang Muslimin mengaku bahawa beliau ade pendinding diri (ade “orang jaga”), SAKA, dan sebagainya, itu pon dah dipanggil SYIRIK.

Dan bagaimana pula dengan perayaan ugama lain, kita tak boleh bertandang?
Dan orang-orang kafir pon tak boleh bertandang ke rumah orang-orang Muslimin bila Hari Raya nanti, atau melawat/meziarahi rumah-rumah ibadah kita (surau, masjid dan sebagainya)?

Adekah mereka akan menyembah Allah?
Nescaya tidak, kecuali kalau hati mereka dah terbuka untuk memeluk agama Islam.

Kita seharusnya hormat bila ke tempat-tempat sebegitu.
Sama seperti orang-orang kafir yang datang ke surau, masjid dan sebaliknya.
Mereka hormat temoat ibadah kita, dan kita seharusnya pon begitu juga.

Allah berfirman, “Hormatilah sesama manusia”
Manusia yang disebutkan itu bukan lah untuk orang-orang yang beragama Islam sahaja tetapi untuk setiap manusia ciptaan-Nya.

Afrika Selatan mungkin perlu memastikan mutu kondom yang dijual di negara itu selepas menarik balik 1.35 juta kondom yang diberikan secara percuma pada sambutan ulang tahun ke 100 Kongres Kebangsaan Afrika (ANC) kerana ada yang bocor ketika melakukan hubungan intim.

Ia bukan kali pertama perkara itu berlaku.
Pada 2007, kerajaan menarik balik lebih 20 juta kondom yang rosak yang dikeluarkan dalam negara.
Media tempatan melaporkan, seorang pengurus ujian di biro penarafan dirasuah untuk mengesahkannya.

Pada 2008, 5 juta lagi kondom rosak turut ditarik balik.
Aktivis Aids, Sello Mokhalipi dari Kempen Tindakan Rawatan berkata, beliau mengadu selepas orang ramai tampil melaporkan bahawa kondom terbabit bocor ketika mereka berasmara.

Ada yang panik kerana sudah dijangkiti Aids dan bimbangkan mengenai pasangan mereka, katanya.

Jurucakap Jabu Mbalula dari Jabatan Kesihatan Free State yang mengedarkan kondom terbabit, sebelum sambutan ANC pada 6 hingga 8 Januari lalu berkata, mereka menarik balik semua kondom terbabit kira-kira 10 hari selepas itu.

Beliau berkata, tidak perlu panik tetapi tidak dapat memaklumkan berapa jumlah kondom yang digunakan atau ditarik balik.

Dakwaan terbaru membabitkan kondom diedarkan di hotel dan bar di tengah Bloemfontein ketika berpuluh ribu penduduk datang untuk perayaan ANC itu.

Afrika Selatan mempunyai 5.6 juta penghidap Aids.

Mokhalipi berkata, aduan berkenaan mula dibuat pada 11 Januari, memaksa pejabatnya mengendalikan ujian terhadap kondom yang didakwa rosak.

“Kami memasukkan air ke dalam kondom dan ia memang bocor,” katanya sambil menambah bahawa beliau juga boleh nampak ‘lubang kecil’ hanya dengan melihat melalui mata kasar.

Jabatan Kesihatan mengedarkan kondom baru minggu lalu, kata Mokhalipi yang tidak bocor selepas melalui ujian air.

Mbalula berkata, dengan mencurahkan air ke dalam kondom dan memberikan tekanan bukanlah satu ujian yang terbaik dan jabatannya menarik balik bahan itu untuk menjalankan ujian saintifik tetapi tidak tahu bila keputusan akan diperoleh.

Beliau menegaskan, semua kondom akan dicop untuk menentukan mereka dari kumpulan yang sudah menjalani ujian kualiti oleh biro penarafan yang bertanggungjawab memastikan ia memenuhi standard Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO).

Jurucakap biro terbabit, Berna Schutte mengesahkan bahawa mereka menjalankan siasatan.

Mohkalipi berkata, penarikan itu terhad dengan pekerja jabatan ke hotel, rumah tumpangan dan bar di mana mereka menghantar kondom terbabit dan mengambil semula apa yang ada.

Beliau mengadu bahawa jabatan kesihatan tidak mengeluarkan sebarang amaran bagi memaklumkan kepada penduduk supaya tidak menggunakan kondom yang diedarkan ketika sambutan itu.

Awas guna kondom di Afrika Selatan

Dr Mahatir has my full respect.

He has a sense of nationalism that is the greatest prerequisite for a leader.
He runs Malaysia for the benefits of Malaysia.
He does not subscribe to the clonialists to the detriment of his country and his people.
Dr M does not concern himself with being popular with the west.
He is not concerned if they like him, write nice things about him or invite him to sit on the board of J.P.Morgan.

During the currency crisis, he withstood the wrath of the media, the conniving of the IMF and WORLD BANK, the political attacks from western nations and stood tall and called a spade a spade and accused the western financial system of being flawed and in fact was a tool of “rogue currency speculators.

Both Malaysia and Dr M were a victim of an international conspiracy and he faced up to it, almost alone and withstood the tsunami and came out on top.
In the process, he has put Malaysia on the world map, as a serious country, due its respect.

He managed Malaysia successfully and literally brought it into the modern age, without compromising Malaysias sovereignty.
He ensured the success of all races of Malaysian society, realising the relevance of multi culturalism and its reality.
He united and incorporated all the strengths of the country and his relevance stands till today.

He stepped down gracefully, when he felt the time was right to do so, and did not cling on to power thru various ploys.
He is able today, as an ordinary citizen, to make statements that shakes the govt without having a political post, simply based on the respect and love that ordinary Malaysians have for him.

He is despised in western and post colonialist Asian societies for being an ASIAN LEADER, unafraid to speak his mind.
His support of third world and African countries brought back a sense of Asian nationalism missing from the 60’s/70’s.
His strong support of Nelson Mandela and the fight against apartheid, contributed to the changing environment in South Africa.
He was open for his support for the Palestinian people.
His look east policy gave a tremendous boost to Japan and the success of the East Asian nations.
Mahatir was a leader in every sense of the word.

He wasnt interested just to make friends with successful people and western countries and was careful to not let his ego be flamed by them.

He wasn’t just the the Mayor of KL.

A total of 52.5 kilos (115.7 pounds) of illegal caviar, retailing for upwards of 6,000 euros ($8,200) per kilo, originating in the two countries was reported by European Union member states between 2000 and 2009, the report said.

“The real volume of illegal trade is likely to be considerably higher,” the report’s author Katalin Kecse-Nagy said in the statement, adding: “Any illegal trade poses an unacceptable risk to these highly threatened species.”

The Black Sea is one of the most important sturgeon fisheries in the world, second only to the Caspian Sea. The Danube, as one of the major feeder rivers and estuaries of the Black Sea, is crucial for the fish.

According to the World Sturgeon Conservation Society, the Danube is the only large river system in Europe where protection of existing but dwindling sturgeon stocks is still possible.

Fishing and export of sturgeon and sturgeon products of wild origin was banned in Romania in 2006 for 10 years, while Bulgaria is currently under a one-year ban, the WWF said.

The WWF report recommended that Sofia and Bucharest strengthen their enforcement agencies, while also insisting on closer monitoring by the EU and more awareness among consumers and traders.

“The EU has a major responsibility to regulate the caviar trade because EU member states are the largest consumers of caviar from Romania and the second largest consumer of caviar from Bulgaria,” WWF sturgeon expert Jutta Jahrl said.

“It is crucial that traders and consumers do not buy unlabelled caviar — this simple act would strike a major blow against the illegal trade,” the statement said.

“The EU must close every loophole in order to save sturgeons from extinction.”

Giant Beluga sturgeons, an ancient fish which outlasted the dinosaurs, have been critically endangered by overfishing for their caviar — uncooked roe or eggs — and by cutting off their migration routes and altering their habitat.
