NIke - Greek Female God ''Winged Goddess of Victory''



Nike merupakan antara pengeluar pakaian sukan yang terkenal dan terbesar. Sebenarnya N\nama Nike diambil sempena nama tuhan perempuan Greek yang mewakili kekuatan dah kejayaan. Nie pic tuhan Greek tersebut. Aku pun baru tau pasal benda nie. Tentang hukum memakai barangan jenama Nike ni ada aku postkan kat bawah ni. So renung2kan lah.


Nie sedikit ulasan tentang fatwa tentang isu ni....

Question: Is it permissible to wear clothing bearing the Nike motif, as I learned recently that Nike got their name from the Greek goddess of Victory?

Answer: Wearing a garment with the logo of Kufr is prohibited in Islam since Islam prohibits imitating non-Muslims. The Prophet said: "Whoever imitates some people, he is one of them". In another narration he will be resurrected with them". The above Hadith gives a severe threat to those people who imitate Kuffars in their style or manners of talking, acting, wearing, worshipping, or in their feasts or in any other matters which are not legislated for us and are not approved by us.

Note that the Prophet disavowed any connection with the Muslim who lives among Kuffars and does not distinguish himself from the Kuffars in his manners, deeds and practices, let alone a person who carries a logo of Kufr with him? Imam Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunan that the Prophet said: "I am exempt from any Muslim who lives among polytheists". When they asked the Prophet he said: "Fire of Muslims should not be seen with the fire of Mushrikeen".

The sign of "Nike", on the garments which many Muslims wear, is a sign of a goddess of victory, daughter of the giant Pulas, as the Greeks believed. So, every Muslim is obliged to avoid a sign of Kufr and he should not take with him such a sign even though the sign is no longer used as the logo of Kufr. How can one use a sign and name of a goddess of Greece?

The evidence for this rule is the Prophet's question to the person who has vowed to slaughter a camel at "Buwanah" he said: "Did the place contain any idol worshipped in pre-Islamic times?" [Related from Abudawood].

If there was an idol in pre-Islamic times then slaughtering in that place would be forbidden even though the idol/idols had been removed. Then how could it be permissible to use those things which used to indicate Kufr?

Selamat Hari Guru kepada semua guru-guru di Malaysia. Terutamanya di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tengku Ampuan Intan, Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Berang dan Sekolah Kebangsaan Senaling.


Mengapa 16 Mei?
Tarikh 16 Mei dipilih sebagai HARI GURU kerana pada tarikh yang sama dalam tahun 1956, Majlis Undang-Undang Persekutuan Tanah Melayu (Federal Legislative Council) telah menerima cadangan Laporan Jawatankuasa Pelajaran (Report of the Education Committe) sebagai dasar pelajaran bagi negara kita. Dokumen tersebut yang dikenali sebagai LAPORAN RAZAK (Razak Report) telah menjadi Dasar Pelajaran Kebangsaan semenjak tarikh itu.

In Mercer Consultings annual Quality of Living Survey, Europe once again dominates the list of 215 countries around the world. The top three cities are, by rank, Vienna, Zurich (last years winner), and Geneva. Commonwealth nations fare pretty well, too, winning 9 of the top 30 spots -- even though London comes in only at 38. The U.S. also fares poorly, barely making it into the top 30

Cities are compared with New York as the base city, with an index score of 100. The quality-of-living survey covers 215 cities and is conducted to help governments and major companies place employees on international assignments. The survey also identifies those cities with the highest personal safety ranking based on internal stability, crime, effectiveness of law enforcement, and relationships with other countries.

The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, which is often March 20, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.
