The video doesn’t show the argument Lisza Laressa had with the auxiliary policeman. It only captured his altercation with her father. The auxiliary policeman is seen yelling and saying: “This is a mosque, respect it.”

Muslim group dismayed by rudeness at mosque
PETALING JAYA: An Islamic NGO has denounced the harshness shown by an auxiliary policeman in a recent incident involving a woman who entered a mosque without covering her head.
Zaid Kamaruddin, vice-president of Ikram Malaysia, said the act of yelling at the woman’s father was an affront to Islam, particularly to the Prophetic Traditions.
.
Zaid said he was dismayed that the policeman, being someone working at a mosque, had failed to follow the Prophet’s example. He retold this episode from the Prophet’s biography:
A man who had not embraced Islam once urinated in the Prophet’s mosque in Medina. The Prophet’s companions were about to reprimand him when the Prophet stopped them, saying there might have been an innocent reason behind the man’s action. So they allowed him to relieve himself until he was done. And then they washed the floor.
“The Prophet said it was wrong to jump to the conclusion that the man had a bad intention, that maybe he was in a desperate situation,” Zaid said.
“This shows that when dealing with any unpleasant situation, we have to use our wisdom to make sure the best outcome is achieved. For example, the auxiliary policeman could have advised the lady nicely or asked her if she wanted something to cover her head with.”
Penang Mufti Wan Salim Mohd Noor agreed, saying Muslims must avoid being rude.
“Harsh persons should not be employed in a mosque as they would only taint the sanctity of a house of God,” he told FMT.
“Officers working at mosques, and all who are involved in the administration of a mosque, must embrace the values taught in Islam and practised by Prophet Muhammad.

Video of auxiliary cop yelling in mosque goes viral
Lawyer Siti Kasim slams the actions of the auxiliary policeman in trying to chase away family taking shelter from the rain inside mosque just because one of them was not wearing a headscarf.
.
PETALING JAYA: A video depicting two men in the midst of a verbal altercation, allegedly over the presence of a Muslim woman not wearing her headscarf in a mosque has gone viral.
In the 15-second video, uploaded on Facebook by a user named Lisza Laressa, a man in a green sweater is seen yelling at another man who appears older than him.
According to Lisza, the first man was an auxiliary policeman stationed at a mosque, located near a public hospital in the Klang Valley.
The second man was the woman’s father who stood up for her when the auxiliary policeman told her off for being in the mosque without a headscarf.
“It is my fault, mosque area, have to wear a headscarf … (but I was there) to seek shelter while waiting for the heavy rain to stop, (and) while accompanying (my) mother who was eating,” she wrote in Malay, relaying the incident in a Facebook post yesterday.
“My mother hadn’t eaten anything since morning while waiting to visit a sibling who was involved in an accident.”
According to Lisza, a man approached her and told her to “respect the mosque” and leave immediately. She, however, chose to stay as her mother was still eating.
The man refused to leave and continued yelling at her, she said. Her father then interfered and told the man that they would leave once Lisza’s mother had finished eating.
“(But) look at the way the young man spoke to an elderly person. Lifting his hands up like that? If he wants to scold me, then scold me alone.
“Even when speaking with an elderly person, he raised his voice. He said, ‘I am the auxiliary policeman here!’”
She claimed that those present during the incident had also criticised the way the auxiliary policeman had spoken to her and her father.

Siti Kasim shared Lisza Laressa‘s post — with Siti Kasim.
This is a very good example on how screwed understanding of what Islam is all about amongst the Malays. This guy scolded the family for being in a Masjid because their daughter was not wearing tudung. They were seeking shelter in there because of heavy rain. The mother was eating whilst waiting for the rain to ease away.
This guy who thinks he is trying to uphold his Islam forgets about compassion which is the most central in Islam. Compassion represents the true spirit of Islam and compassion is far more vital to Islamic teachings than any thing else. In fact compassion in Islam, after the concepts of unity of God (tawhid) and risalah (messengership of Muhammad) is as central to Islam as it is to Buddhism.
‘Compassion’ is the most frequently occurring word in the Qur’an. Each of its 114 chapters, with the exception of the 9th, begins with the invocation ‘In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful…’ yet a great deal of the escalating violence and terrorism that we are living with today can be attributed to Muslims. How can we come to terms with this obvious contradiction?
To think of oneself as an agent of God’s anger is exceedingly attractive; there are certain intense pleasures in anger, especially if one’s own anger can be presumed to coincide with God’s, and also in the use of an angry self-righteousness as a standard by which to condemn other people. This is a pleasure necessarily founded on the shallowest sort of self-knowledge.’
At the heart of Muslim belief is the principal of tawhid or oneness. This oneness, or unity, has been described as that which dominates the mind in Islam, while the heart is intrinsically linked to the concept of compassion. “My Mercy encompasses all things” (Qur’an 7:156). “My mercy takes precedence over my anger” (hadith qudsi, a saying in which God speaks through the Prophet). Islam sees the sentiments of love and compassion, ‘com passio’ – the ability to feel with the other, as expressions of the interconnected oneness of all human beings, reflecting the oneness and unity of God.
The Qur’an frequently speaks of God’s plan for diversity, and the goodness of difference as part of this plan. “O mankind, We have indeed created you as male and female, and made you as nations and tribes that you may come to know one another” (49:13); “And every community has its direction of which He lets them turn towards it. Vie, therefore, with one another in doing good works. Wherever you may be, God will gather you all unto Him”. (2:148) “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256); “Truly, those who believe, and the Jews, and the Christians and Sabeans – whosoever believes in God and the Day of Judgement and act virtuously will receive their reward from their Lord; no fear of grief will befall them”. (2:62) and “Whoever saves the life of one human being, it shall be as if he had saved the whole of humankind” (5:32)
We must look again on what have been taught to Muslims in this country.
