LUMUT, 23 SEPTEMBER 2017- Mufti of Perak Darul Ridzuan, S.S. Tan Sri Dato 'Seri (Dr.) Haji Harussani Bin Haji Zakaria received the Tokoh Ar-Ridzuan award in conjunction with the Perak Maal Hijrah 1439H / 2017M Celebration at Dewan Shariff, Pangkalan TLDM Lumut yesterday.

The selection of Tan Sri Harussani, 78, as the recipient of this award is based on his great contribution to Islamic development in the state of Perak.

Tan Sri considers this grace as a test of God to see the extent of his faith as a true Muslim, whether to be boasted or vice versa. He asserted that he would continue to adhere to the principle of saying true even bitter. "I stick to the principle of saying true even though bitter and this thing I use to reprimand leaders to make sure the country's administration goes smoothly."

"Tell the truth even if it's bitter because the true god will help. Give the truth to the fact that this country can be developed as a superior Islamic state," he said. Tan Sri received RM10,000 cash, umrah packages, medals, certificates, plaques and accompanist gifts.

Also awards were former state Syariah Chief Justice Datuk Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusuf. He has received the Tokoh Maal Hijrah award for his contributions and services in Islamic jurisprudence in the State of Perak.

The accusation was presented by Ms Shahida, a special officer invited from the Perak State Archives. Officers and employees of the department who are directly involved are Department of Records Officer, Ms. Rafidah Binti Mohamed Daud and Vice Records Department, Mr. Azizi Bin Ismail.

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.
