HOTA

Three Fridays ago, we were hearing on Friday sermons about the plight of Muslims who are suffering from organ failure. Sigh, while our hearts feel for them, we are also wandering why are they in such a pitiful state? Aren't we supposed to take care of our health? Isn't health is wealth?

What irks me to write this post is that Friday prayers are being used to advance government agenda. Three weeks ago, they, being the esteemed ustazs and imams, were talking about organ failure and donation and yesterday the news came out that we can be include d in HOTA. You know what it means, I have to opt out of HOTA if I don't want my body to be dismembered later. Is this correct? Friday sermons being used to advance government agenda.

If you want people to know about HOTA, they should let the state interferes in Islam. What we want to hear for Friday sermon is all about Islam, not some government agenda. We are seeing Friday sermons being used for political and personal agenda. That is terribly wrong.
