Yoga strictly for exercise: Muis

By Judith Tan

MUSLIMS in Singapore can continue to practise yoga if and only if they are consciously doing it for the sole purpose of health.

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore or Muis on Friday said in a statement that the yoga should not involve religious rituals beyond that taught in the Islamic faith, and remain only a form of exercise.

Yoga as an exercise is about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility.

This is done through the performing different poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits.

Muis said in practising any form of exercise - mental or physical - Muslims should always be conscious of all its aspects to better understand and 'distinguish between physical an religious expressions'.

'In this spirit, the Fatwa Committee had issued a fatwa in 1984 which sought to explain that Muslims are not allowed to practice yoga in a form that clearly contains elements of the rituals, such as recitations and beliefs of other faiths,' said Muis.

This statement follows in the wake of a fatwa or religous ruling issued by Malaysian clerics against yoga because of its Hindu roots.

Muis also said it received queries regarding its stand on yoga.

Indonesia's top Islamic body said on Thursday it will consider banning Muslims from practicing yoga.

Cleric Ma'ruf Amin said the Ulema Council was trying to determine if the ancient Indian exercise could corrupt the faith of believers.

NA! NOBODY GOT INSULTED K???

haha yes 2 months have passed! 7 more months to go! haha nothin much to blog abt cos im trying to get ahead of my schwork... so just gonna talk abt news esp the UK VAT gonna be cut to 15%!!! WOOTS!!! SHOPPING TIME!!! and this is to boost economy by encouraging more spending... but what is sg doing? dun cut GST! y? quote:

'If you cut (GST) for everyone, it means more butter for some, more cream for some. I'd rather give even more butter to those who need it the most.'

WTF... it means that everyone will get butter for themselves and not get it from ur hands... obviously someone wasnt told the story abt teaching the man to fish rather than giving him fish... who died in the end? DUH the latter man!

'The best way to help people is to give them something directly, put money in their hands, let them decide how best to use it.'

WOOTS! proves my point!

'And giving cash to people is the right move, said economist XXX from Nanyang Technological University. '

either this ECONOMIST is farking stupid or hes just blinded by the money handed to him...

nowonder the civil servants are having a pay cut... they seriously deserve it. poor service, thinking that this job is an iron rice bowl...

eVonne - A Song for You

I was alone
You came alone
And gave your heart to me
And I knew but.I was scared to tell you
Just how much.How much I need you
And I wanted.I wanted to show you
Just how much.How much I adore you

And then one day
I heard you say
You'd always stand beside me
Then I knew.I knew I had to tell you
Just how much.How much I thank you
So I found.I found a way to tell you
Just how much.How much I love you

And so today
I want to say
I'll always stand beside you
And I swear.I swear I'll always love you
As long.As long as you need me too
And I found.I found a way to tell you
That this song.This song's just for you
That this song. This song says... I love you.
