Security guard fined RM5k for insulting Prophet Muhammad SAW on Facebook
KUALA LUMPUR: A security guard was fined RM5,000 by the Sessions Court here today for making and initiating a Facebook post insulting Prophet Muhammad SAW four months ago. Judge Norma Ismail imposed the sentence on M Ramesh, 57, after he pleaded guilty to the charge. She also ordered five months' imprisonment in default of payment. He settled the fine. Ramesh was charged with knowingly creating and initiating a grossly offensive comment on the Facebook account 'Ramesh Muniandy' with the intent to offend others at 10.20 am on April 11. The post was later viewed at Level 4, Block A, Putrajaya Islamic Complex, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Precinct 3, Putrajaya, at noon on April 15. He was charged under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which provides for a fine of up to RM50,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two years, or both, and a further fine of RM1,000 for each day the offence persists after conviction. Earlier, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) prosecuting officer Mohamad Farhan Kamarudin urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence, stressing the gravity of the offence. 'The comment was clearly capable of provoking anger among Muslims and undermining their dignity. It could be read by anyone, including the youth, and risk negatively influencing public perception and behaviour. 'When such statements are allowed to circulate online and remain accessible to all, they carry the potential to instill false perceptions among the public,' he submitted. Ramesh's lawyer, P Chandra Segaran, pleaded for the lowest possible fine, citing his client's salary of RM1,700 a month and his responsibility to support his wife, three children and an ailing mother. 'The accused acted in the heat of the moment, responding to another party's comment. His understanding of the matter was very limited. He has since apologised to the court and to anyone who read the post. It is his first offence and he is genuinely remorseful. He will not repeat such conduct,' said the lawyer. - Bernama

Jabal Nur - Spiritual Journey For Haj Pilgrims
MAKKAH, May 17 (Bernama) -- The opportunity to visit Jabal Nur, meaning Mountain of Light or Hill of Illumination, the site of the first Quranic revelation, is more than just a historical excursion. It is a spiritual journey, offering pilgrims a profound space for reflection and appreciation of Islam's greatest blessing, the Quran. Tabung Haji (TH) Holy Land Haj Facilitator (PIHTAS), Dr Mohd Bakri Aziz @ Saari, said Jabal Nur, located near the city of Makkah at an altitude of 642 metres above sea level, carries a deeply meaningful message for every pilgrim. He said it serves as a reminder to strengthen one's faith and commitment to Islamic teachings, even in the face of life's challenges. 'For those pilgrims who are blessed with the opportunity to climb it, although it is not a requirement of the pilgrimage, ascending Jabal Nur provides a moving sense of the immense blessings inherited through Islam,' he said when met by the media recently. He added that pilgrims can reflect on the profound event of the first revelation, which marked the beginning of Islam's spread and transformed the course of human civilisation. At the summit lies the historic Cave of Hira, where Prophet Muhammad SAW received the first divine revelation through Surah Al-'Alaq. This solitary cave became the sacred witness to a pivotal moment in religious history. Dr Mohd Bakri also highlighted the sacrifice and unwavering support of Sayyidatina Khadijah RA, the beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad SAW, who would deliver food and provide encouragement while the Prophet secluded himself in the cave for reflection and worship. 'Sayyidatina Khadijah's sacrifices and support during the early days of Islam should serve as a lasting source of inspiration for Muslims today,' he said -- BERNAMA
