Jangan mudah sangat gadai nama Islam, kata pensyarah



Penolakan orang ramai kepada seseorang tokoh tidak boleh dikaitkan dengan Islam sewenang-wenangnya, kata seorang pensyarah universiti yang memiliki kepakaran dalam ilmu hadis.
Menurut Dr Rozaimi Ramle pendirian seseorang kepada Islam tidak boleh disandarkan kepada sokongan mereka dalam undi.
Menasihati kumpulan tertentu supaya tidak membuat kesimpulan "separuh masak" ahli akademik yang bertugas di Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris itu berkata, pihak terbabit sebaliknya perlu bermuhasabah sendiri.
"Jangan semudahnya digadaikan nama Islam. Jangan mudah membuat kesimpulan separuh masak siapa yang tidak undi saya maka tidak menyokong Islam, menolak Islam, mati kafir atau susah menjawab soalan kubur.
"Sebaliknya tanya dulu diri (sendiri) mengapa orang tidak mahu menyokong kita?" kata Rozaimi dalam kenyataan dibuat di Facebooknya.
Beliau yang sebelum ini menawarkan diri untuk berdiskusi dengan dua pemimpin terkenal PAS - dan setakat ini belum menjadi kenyataan - kemudian melontarkan beberapa soalan mengenai pentakrifan keislaman seseorang.
"Selalu ponteng parlimen - adakah mencerminkan amalan Islam? Cakap berdolak-dalik - adakah mencerminkan akhlak Islam? Selalu ponteng mesyuarat setelah dilantik memegang jawatan pihak berkuasa tempatan, syarikat berkaitan kerajaan, atau Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung - adakah mencerminkan budaya Islam?" katanya lagi.
Tidak cukup dengan itu Rozaimi juga bertanya sama ada amalam mencaci-maki pihak yang bertentangan pendirian juga boleh dianggap mencerminkan sikap Islam.
"Maka apabila semua soalan ini dijawab dengan jujur, mungkin kita akan sedar sebenarnya kita pun belum sepenuhnya menunjukkan integriti Islam.
"Maka mereka menolak kita, bukan semestinya menolak Islam," katanya.
Bagaimanapun melalui status berkenaan Rozaimi tidak merujuk kepada mana-mana parti secara khusus.

How To Donate a Car In California


Are you ready to donate a car in California? If so, good for you! Donating a car to charity is a wonderful decision on many levels. First of all, your donation goes to help a great cause.  Plus, you get your old vehicle or junk car moved off of your property free of charge. You are also recycling an old vehicle, and you also get to claim the car donation as a tax deduction.
 
In this post you'll find some tips on how to donate a car in California and some specific requirements you should be aware of that relate to California car donations.
 
1. To donate a car in California, you begin by submitting an online car donation form or calling the charity you wish donate your vehicle to.  If you wish to claim the car donation as a tax deduction, be sure to check that the charity is an IRS recognized nonprofit organization.
 
2. The process for receiving the tax receipt for your charitable donation may vary. Some charities will email you the initial receipt while others have the tow truck provide you with the receipt at the time of pick up. This is just an initial receipt and enables you to claim a tax deduction of up to $500. You should check with the charity to find out what their procedure is for providing you with this receipt when you submit your vehicle donation.
 
3. In the State of California, the license plates remain with the vehicle, so these should not be removed prior to the pickup.
 
4. Filing a Release of Liability with the California Department of Motor Vehicles is an important step you do not want to miss when you donate a car.  This document releases you from future liability which may arise for any reason after the vehicle is donated.  In California the procedure for filing a Release of Liability is that you must return the pink portion of the title or DMV form REG 138 to your local Department of Motor Vehicles. Alternatively, you can file your release of liability online at http://www.dmv.ca.gov.
 
5. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, or if it qualifies for a fair market value tax deduction, you will receive additional tax paperwork after the sale of the vehicle takes place. The amount you will be allowed to deduct on your taxes will vary depending on several factors which could include the price the vehicle is sold for or whether the vehicle is classified as a fair market value car donation.
 
6. One last point we should mention is that if you plan to claim your car donation tax deduction on your 2012 taxes, you need to make sure you donate the car well before the deadline of December 31, 2012. The charity should have possession of the vehicle before midnight on December 31st, or at least have the pickup well in the works, in order for you to claim your tax deduction in 2012. Don’t wait till the last minute as there could be delays that could result in you being unable to claim the donation as a deduction for the current tax year.
 
If you have any further questions related to your car donation tax deduction, most charities are relatively knowledgeable about the process and paperwork needed, however, you should consult a CPA or accountant for specifics regarding your particular tax situation.
 
For additional questions related to car donations in California, you can contact your local DMV or visit the California DMV website for the latest information on state specific requirements.
