Yusuf Islam: Reaching out to the wider world 2008-05-03 07:52:00 Yusuf Islam
(formerly Cat Stevens) has lately been on the spotlight (as he always has been I guess!), as he has now started recording again. But this time, he is different compared to the Cat Stevens of the 70s, in that he regards himself as having found the inner peace he was desperately searching for.
I have always admired him ever since I came to know about him (Not necessarily that I agree Read more:Yusuf

Its story time...! 2008-05-02 06:23:00 [Once upon a time there lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes that his only ambition was to be always well dressed and loved to show them off to his people. Two tailors who had heard of the emperor's vanity decided to take advantage of it. They came to the palace and introduced themselves: "We are two very good tailors and after many years of research we have invented an Read more:story
Humanism’s dark alleys… 2008-05-01 04:38:00 Some of our youth who knowingly or unknowingly get dragged into darkness of ignorance are quite often victims to the clutches of a philosophy called Humanism. World history clearly shows that humanism is effectively a reactionary philosophy which began in Europe against the predominance of the Church. (No wonder why the so-called anti-religious ‘free-thinkers’ regard that religion restricts the
Islam and science - denying the deceptions 2008-04-29 09:30:00 One of the greatest lies that get fed into the minds of those ignorant of Islam
is that it is against the advance of science and civilisation. Such lies are emanating from the tireless efforts of those who were/are utterly keen in defaming Islam in whatever way they can.
For one to comprehend this reality, it is important to know the facts supporting this. Any objective researcher of history can
Anni’s win: a reason for hope? 2008-04-26 10:28:00 The outcome of the Presidential Primary of MDP appears to have given a great sense of hope to many MDP members. As expected (or rather hoped) by many in the party, Mohamed Nasheed (Anni) recorded a convincing win over the other two candidates. (It should be noted though that, it has been reported that complaints have been made about various irregularities during and after the election)
Despite
Who should be the winner of the MDP Presidential Primary? 2008-04-23 16:31:00 Surely the much awaited presidential primary of the largest opposition party in the country is getting ever closer. Each of the three hopeful candidates is doing their bits to convince the members of the party to vote for him instead of the other two.
As such, tonight the three candidates took part in the first ever presidential debate that was broadcast live on the national TV and radio of the Read more:winner

Rights and limitations... 2008-04-22 16:14:00 Peaceful coexistence of human beings of different views, values and beliefs require understanding and respecting the rights of each other and the limitations
necessary to be exercised on these rights. It is normally the situation that people seem to be so thorough with the rights they are entitled to, but are quite ignorant of the limitations that are to be observed in exercising these rights. Read more:Rights
When are we going to change? 2008-04-20 02:03:00 Maldivians are used to a culture of being ‘bribed’ into ‘selling’ their votes; be it in presidential or parliamentary elections. The conditions of the common people have been the weak spot profoundly exploited by the selfish and hypocritical politicians and businessmen, at the times of elections (and at all times, as a matter of fact!)
At this time of calling for change, one would hope that such
Intellectual hypocrisy? 2008-04-18 21:39:00 It is regrettable to find that a large number of educated Maldivians are falling behind in undertaking their responsibility of actively be involved in working towards bringing a brighter future to the Maldives and its people.
We today have many Maldivians who have graduated and started working (either at home or abroad) or are doing further studies. But a lot of these Maldivians are Read more:Intellectual
Promotions galore: is public money being wasted? 2008-04-17 16:38:00 Maldivians are witnessing a situation that probably citizens of no other state in the world have or would ever experience. Promotions
of all sorts are being 'splashed' out by the President to whomever he likes in whatever manner he wishes. And all this, it is believed to be, in the expense of the public money.
As such, today Maldivians have been told that not less than 9 of his old and trusted
The reality behind the Orientalists... 2008-04-12 13:09:00 On a sunny day last August I happened to be sitting in a small crowd of Maldivians who were part of a group that had come to the UK to hold an event. The leader of the group, who is a well renowned businessman of the Maldives, was talking about our beloved Prophet (s.a.w). I must say that I never have heard before a more disgusting load of rubbish being uttered towards our Prophet by a Maldivian. Read more:reality

Stop this terrorism! 2008-04-12 04:52:00 Today is another dull day in the Maldives as yet another young Maldivian leaves this world victim to the ongoing violence in the country.
14 year old Shifau Ismail of G. Thanburuge died in the early hours of this morning failing to recover from the coma he went to due to the horrific injuries sustained on his body. He was attacked last Friday night by a terrorist gang, just like numerous others
All that glitters is not gold… 2008-04-09 08:07:00 The internet, media, Hollywood, and the music industry amongst other factors, have been playing a major role in shaping our thinking, our manners, our way of life to such an extent that we seem to be losing our identity; our identity of being Muslim and Maldivian. For a long time we have been subjugated into this mirage. The mirage which shows that ‘developed’ West has a better way of life. (I am
On the Diamond Jubilee of the Maldivian Police Service... 2008-04-08 10:46:00 Yesterday a grand ceremony was held by the Maldives PoliceService
to mark the 75th anniversary of the commencement of policing in the Maldives.
The Chief of Maldivian Police Service and the Commisioner of Police spoke at the ceremony in such a way as if the reality is totally reflected in their talks! To say the least, I was totally flabbergasted with the talks they gave, and the whole ceremony
The situation in Palestine is really bad! 2008-04-02 06:35:00 We Maldivians as Muslims have a deep relationship of brotherhood with all the Muslims around the world. Our hearts should feel the pains and suferings of fellow Muslims from any where around the Globe.
As such, the Muslim brothers and sisters of Palestine
, specially in Gaza are currently undergoing their worst nightmares. Those reporters and humanitarian aid workers who have been there and are
A victory for the people…! 2008-04-01 04:47:00 Today I read in the Maldivian newspapers that the so-called Bill of “amendments” to the Civil Service Law tabled by President Gayoom has been rejected by the People’s Majlis.
As I expressed my concerns about this Bill (in an article published on 12/3/08), it deserved to be expelled from the Majlis. It is a clear sign that people
’s power is getting stronger, albeit at a slow pace. Hats off to the
Harun Yahya... 2008-03-25 05:39:00 Like many people around the world, Maldivians are also familiar with Harun Yahya (whose real name is Adnan Oktar).
Yes it is true that he is famous for refuting claims of evolution and such, but in some of his works he is trying to propagate a completely incorrect notion of Almighty God. For example, in Chapters 18 and 19 of his book “Evolution Deceit”, he has clearly tried to portray a concept
Talk to the hand, please!!! 2008-03-24 12:35:00 Recently (at the 29th General Meeting of DRP, held on 21/3/08) President Gayoom said that those Maldivians who are under 35 years old are not in a position to criticise the developments he brought to and the things he did for the country. The reason he gave was that these people are too young to have witnessed the situation before his rule began.
He also said that those who talk against his
Dhivehi non-Muslims: how did it all go wrong? 2008-03-24 10:33:00 A number of recently conducted surveys of those who claimed to have left Islam (to become Christians, or a follower of any other religion or to become atheists) showed that about 95% of them left Islam out of sheer ignorance, giving various misinformed judgements. Some of these think that it is ‘cool’ to be a non-Muslim, or that it is fashionable to be as such. The remaining 5% left Islam mainly Read more:Muslims
The Bible: Does not contradict with the Quran, except where it contradicts itself...! 2008-03-20 19:06:00 I have my utmost respect for the Bible as, despite it being tampered with (as clearly confirmed by Christian scholars many a times), whatever is left in it of the Word of God should be respected and honoured.
I do not intend to offend anyone, by any means, nor do I attempt to impose any of my views upon any body. My intention of bringing up the topic, thereby following up on a previous post (“ Read more:Quran
Guns trade in the Maldives?? 2008-03-19 06:02:00 I yesterday read an article in Minivan News which said that “military style firearms and heavy duty ammunitions” were found kept on the beach of G.Dh. Gazeera (an island currently under development by a subsidiary of Hon. Gasim Ibrahim’s Villa Shipping and Trade Ltd)
The weapons and ammunitions were reported to be new, meaning that it must have been there for not too long. They were reported to Read more:Maldives
Who should be the next president of Maldives?? 2008-03-16 16:53:00 Good question isn’t it? As you may be well aware, names of the presidential hopefuls are being revealed as the presidential elections (hopefully the first multi-party presidential election) draws nearer.
So far the following people have officially declared their intention to run for presidency (or party presidential primaries in the case of MDP):

Atheists are “blind”, remarks Professor Michael Heller 2008-03-14 19:14:00 Yesterday I read about the news that the world’s biggest monetary award given to any individual by a philanthropist organisation was won by Professor Michael
Heller,72, a cosmologist and philosopher who has spent his life researching about questions such as “Does the universe need a cause?”
Professor Heller won the prestigious award of $1.6million given by Templeton Foundation, and is to be Read more:Atheists
Bill of amendments to the Civil Service Law…a disgrace! 2008-03-12 13:20:00 I thought that something beneficial to the country was about to happen when the Law of the CivilService
(5/2007) was decided to be brought into force. The Civil Service Law (yet to come into force) would have been a good step forward in bringing meaningful reform and achieving a more mature and sustainable democratic system in the country. But, I was obviously thinking of the impossible, as I Read more:disgrace
Denying the reality? 2008-03-11 18:53:00 It is a fact that there are some Maldivians who do not believe in Islam, and there are indications that this minority is increasing. Thus, why do we deny this fact? Why are the government concealing this truth and keeping the general Maldivian public and the whole world blinded from this truth, and instead keep rallying its old slogan that Maldives is “a 100% Islamic country”? What is the motive Read more:reality

Terrorism back on the streets! 2008-05-06 13:57:00 After the killings and brutal attacks that were carried out on the streets
of Male’ by drugs-based terrorist gangs, the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) was (supposedly) instructed to go out to the streets and curb these attacks, in an apparent recognition of the blatant failure of the Maldives Police Services in doing the same.
MNDF appeared to have achieved the goals set for them when Read more:Terrorism
Intellectuals to the Parliament... 2008-05-10 06:54:00 After the presidential elections perhaps the most important event in the political calendar will be the parliamentary elections (to be held around March/April 2009, if I am not wrong?).
It is an excellent opportunity to bring out fresh new faces into political spectrum of the country. With the changes that are being brought to the political system of the country perhaps the most important entity Read more:Parliament
Umar Naseer and the debate on apostasy… 2008-05-13 07:16:00 It is long known that Maldivians in general have a special place in their hearts for Islam, ever since the nation reverted to Islam some 800 years ago. It is also true that due to this very fact, various politicians have misused Islam to gain political benefit at various stages of their political endeavours.
As such we are at the moment seeing such an (apparent?) attempt being made by one of the Read more:apostasy
Muslims’ disrespect to the Qur’an… 2008-05-19 05:05:00 Often we hear of various incidents of non Muslims
disrespecting the Qur’an. One such incident being that reported to have occured earlier this month in Iraq, where a US soldier used copies of the Qur’an for target practice:
This resulted in angry protests from Iraqis. But what is most important to understand is we as Muslims (even in the Maldives) have failed to respect the Qur’an as it
“Building churches in Muslim countries permissible”-says Dr Qaradawi 2008-05-22 08:00:00 Today I read the news (from Islamonline.net) that world famous Islamic scholar Dr Yusuf Qaradawi has issued a fatwa approving building of churches in Muslim
countries for the non Muslims living or working in those countries. Hence I just thought of sharing it with you, and pose the question whether it is applicable to the Maldives, officially a 100% Islamic country where it is believed that the Read more:Building
