On 7-8 hb August 2017M equals 15 Zulkaedah 1438H (Monday-Tuesday), the Partial Lunar Eclipse will occur. It happens parallel to the time the Moon is in the Full Moon phase when in position Istiqbal. This eclipse can be seen entirely from Malaysia, especially in the state of Perak. During this eclipse this time, we will find that the light of the moon which is supposed to be bright will look as dimly as if covered with clouds. However, at the height of the eclipse, the moon will look darker on the south side of the Moon's surface as if covered with thick clouds. At that moment the effect of eclipse will be more easily identified. Even in the whole eclipse, we will be able to see the eclipse well because at that point the Moon is high above the horizon. Based on the data already reviewed, the Lunar Eclipse is expected to occur from 11:50 pm on the night of 7th August. But at the beginning of this eclipse, eclipse effects are difficult to see as the New Moon enters the darkening penumbra shadow. Only at 1:23 am to 3:18 am on the morning of 8th August, then the effect of eclipse will be more visible after the Moon enters the dark Umbra shadow. Dark eclipse effects will be most obvious at 2:20 am. After that the eclipse is still happening, only the eclipse will disappear when it enters the penumbra phase. The eclipse will end at 4:51 am.

The entire duration of this eclipse will take 5 hours 0 m 53 seconds taking into account the Moon passes through the Penumbra and Umbra shadows. But the obvious effect of the eclipse on the Umbra shadow is only 1 hour 55 minutes 14 seconds. So based on the above information, all Muslims in particular in the state of Perak are advised to perform the prayer of the lunar eclipse. Recommended time is from 1:23 am to 3:18 am on the morning of 8th August. In addition to carrying out eclipse observations, Muslims are advised to increase zikir, tasbih, tahmid and takbir. This is because the eclipse is the evidence of the greatness of Allah S.W.T which should be accompanied by a sense of admiration and slavery to the Greatness of Allah S.W.T. May God S.W.T simplify our affairs to observe the lunar eclipse. Lunar Eclipse to perform prayers.

1. I am of the view that the action taken on their own accord have highlighted that the maximum level of ignorance on their part in the matters relating to Islam, the differences in Islamic law, the views of the ulama' and approaches in the management of Islamic affairs. Worse still when these statements were circulated openly that can cause confusion to the public.
2. The actions of this group and others with the same view is aiming at distancing people from the religion and considering religion as a burden or hindrance. Therefore, their eagerness to discredit the ulama' and religious institutions is a fundamental principle of the liberals who tried to forced it down the throats of Muslims in Malaysia.
3. The situation is clearer when the "trend" to discredit leaders and religious institutions is intensified and often occurs when selective statements or speeches are quoted and criticized without looking at the actual and wider scope. In my opinion this was a malicious act.
4. Basically, I can accept open-minded thinking, speech and behavior, but we are guided by the Law of Islam that drives the human mind. Their actions also seem to encourage others to be open-minded but they themselves are old-fashioned and often precede logical and rational thinking instead of basing Islamic law as guidance.
5. My statement regarding a wife cannot resist the will of her husband even on the camel's back is derived from evidence in the hadith:

Organizers have invited S.F. Tuan Haji Zamri Bin Hashim, Deputy Mufti of Perak to deliver the first presentation titled; 'Challenges for Muslims in the Present'. He emphasized the need for Muslims to be careful with the threats of modern thought such as liberalism and pluralism that threatens the integrity of Islam.

After that, the program continued with a presentation by S.F. Prof. Dr. Jamil Bin Hashim, Perak Fatwa Committee member who is also the Dean of the Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah. At this time he presented the title; 'The role of the Asatizah Challenges Facing Ummah'. He said asatizah which the teachers of Islamic religious plays a very important role in the defense of Islam in the face of various challenges and threats.

Approximately 500 participants for this program is made up of teachers of Islamic Education (GPI), the religious teachers and representatives of government departments. The program began around 9.00 am and ended at 12.30 pm after a dialogue session where participants were given the spaceto ask questions and views to the presenters.
