Improving education in rural Vietnam

Felo Penyelidik Kanan, Institut Alam dan Tamadun Melayu (ATMA), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof Madya Dr Asyaari Muhamad, berkata Melayu Champa dikesan berada di Chau Doc, An Giang, Ho Chi Minh, Nha Trang, Danang dan Guy Nhon di tengah Vietnam.

Empayar Champa yang diasaskan orang Melayu pernah mencatat sejarah panjang sejak dibina pada kurun ke-2 dan bertahan selama 1,643 tahun hingga jatuh awal abad ke-19.

Bagaimanapun, Melayu Champa masih wujud meskipun jumlah itu semakin merosot, manakala hanya generasi tua bertutur dalam bahasa Melayu, sedangkan orang muda menggunakan bahasa Vietnam.

Hasil kajian dan penelitian sekumpulan penyelidik tempatan antara 2017 hingga 2018 mendapati, Melayu Champa kini menjadi golongan minoriti di Vietnam dan menerima pakai budaya setempat.

Di Kelantan terdapat nama-nama yang ada kaitan dengan Champa seperti Pengkalan Chepa, Kampung Chepa.

Pertubuhan Kemanusiaan Ensany mendapat satu permintaan dari sekolah Madarasah Assibyan TRUONG HOG CHAM AP III KHANH BIND lebih kurang 600km atau 9 jam perjalanan menaiki bas dari Ibukota HO CHI MINH , memohon kerjasama  ENSANY bagi mengumpul dana bagi pengurusan sekolah tersebut. 

Kita tahu mereka adalah sebahagian dari bekas peninggalan kerajaan Champa dahulu- Alhamdulillah mereka masih bertahan . Ustaz Mohammad Isa Soleh warga negara Malaysia berasal dari Vietnam, bekas pendakwah di bawah tajaan Rabitoh Alam Islami Arab Saudi yang tinggal di Kelang – Selangor beliau banyak mengarang kitab-kitab Fardu Ain Bahasa Vietnam ikut memberi sokongan agar saudara saudara yang berkelapangan tampil memberi sumbangan bagi menjayakan kempen ini.

Oleh itu pihak Pertubuhan Ensany, setelah membuat kajian dan pertimbangan bersetuju untuk membuka kempen ini untuk memberi bantuan kepada lima orang ustaz ustaz yang mangajar di sekolah itu mereka adalah . 

1. Ustaz Muhammad bin Tahir. 

2. Ustaz Ali bin Hj Tahir. 

3. Ustaz Fuad bin Mohammad soleh. 

4. Ustaz A Na ( Abdul latif) bin Muhammad Ali. 

5. Ustazah Atiqah binti Hj Ahamad. 

Di antara mereka ada yang lahir di Malaysia dan mendapat pendidikan di Malaysia jika mereka hidup di Malaysia boleh sahaja mereka dapat pekerjaan yang lebih baik , tapi mereka tinggalkan Malaysia mereka pergi ke pendalam Vietnam demi mempertahan Islam disana.

Kepada semua pembaca di harapkan agar dapat membelajakan sedikit dari anugerah Allah itu kepada mereka makan firman Allah :

“Berilah mereka dari harta Allah yang telah di amanahkan kepadamu.” Surah Annur 33.

Kempen ini dicadangkan untuk memberi mereka saguhati RM 300 seorang selama enam bulan pertama jika mendapat sambutan akan dilanjutkan.

In sha Allah jadi  ditargetkan RM 1500x6 bulan dan kos pengurusan  RM 10,125

Hulurkanlah bantuan berupa zakat , sedekah subuh, sedekah hari jumaat , sedekah sempena kerana sakit semoga Allah sembuhkan penyakit itu , sempena anak yang mahu mengikuti peperiksaan semoga Allah permudahkan baginya .dan boleh bersedekah agar cepat dapat jodoh,  agar dapat kerja,  sedekah agar tertolak dari bala. Atau jika ada harta yang subahat serah kepada kempen-kempen kami untuk kebajikan . 

Jika anda tidak dapat berkongsi rezeki dengan kempen kami, maka tolong kongsikan dan sebarkan dengan orang lain.

Maksudnya: “Barangsiapa yang menunjukkan sesuatu kebaikan maka dia mendapat pahala sama seperti yang melakukannya.” [Riwayat Muslim (1893)]

Firman Allah maksudnya : Dan bersegeralah kamu mencari ampunan dari Tuhanmu dan mendapatkan surga yang luasnya seluas langit dan bumi yang disediakan bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa, (yaitu) orang yang berinfak, baik di waktu lapang maupun sempit, dan orang-orang yang menahan amarahnya dan memaafkan (kesalahan) orang lain. Dan Allah mencintai orang yang berbuat kebaikan, (surah ali Imran 133-134)

***ENGLISH***

Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of the Malay World and Civilization (ATMA), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Associate Professor Dr. Asyaari Muhamad, stated that the Malay Champa people can be found in Chau Doc, An Giang, Ho Chi Minh, Nha Trang, Danang, and Quy Nhon in central Vietnam.

The Champa Empire, founded by the Malay people, has a long history dating back to the 2nd century and lasted for 1,643 years before it fell in the early 19th century. However, the Malay Champa community still exists, albeit in dwindling numbers, with only the older generation speaking the Malay language, while the younger generation primarily uses Vietnamese. 

Research conducted by a group of local scholars between 2017 and 2018 found that the Malay Champa people are now a minority in Vietnam and have adopted the local culture. In Kelantan, Malaysia, place names such as Pengkalan Chepa and Kampung Chepa reflect the historical connection to Champa.

Pertubuhan Kemanusiaan Ensany recently received a request from Madrasah Assibyan TRUONG HOG CHAM AP III KHANH BIND, a school located approximately 600 km or a 9-hour bus journey from Ho Chi Minh City. The school requested assistance from Ensany to raise funds for its operations.

We are aware that they are part of the legacy of the former Champa kingdom, and Alhamdulillah, they continue to persevere. Ustaz Mohammad Isa Soleh, a Malaysian citizen originally from Vietnam and a former preacher sponsored by the Rabitah Alam Islami of Saudi Arabia, currently residing in Klang, Selangor, has authored many Fardu Ain books in the Vietnamese language. He supports this campaign and encourages those who are able to contribute.

Therefore, Pertubuhan Ensany, after careful consideration, has decided to launch this campaign to assist five teachers at the school:

1. Ustaz Muhammad bin Tahir

2. Ustaz Ali bin Hj Tahir

3. Ustaz Fuad bin Mohammad Soleh

4. Ustaz A Na (Abdul Latif) bin Muhammad Ali

5. Ustazah Atiqah binti Hj Ahamad

Among them are individuals born and educated in Malaysia who, if they had stayed in Malaysia, could have secured better-paying jobs. However, they chose to leave Malaysia and travel to the interior of Vietnam to preserve Islam there.

We appeal to all readers to spend a portion of the blessings Allah has bestowed upon them for this cause, as Allah says: 

“Give them something out of the wealth which Allah has bestowed upon you.” (Surah An-Nur: 33)

This campaign aims to provide each teacher with a monthly allowance of RM 300 per person for the six months. If the response is positive, the campaign will be extended. The target is to raise RM 1,500 for six months, along with a management cost of RM 10,125.

We urge you to contribute through zakat, sadaqah, sadaqah subuh, sadaqah on Fridays, sadaqah for healing from illness, sadaqah for the success of a child taking exams, or sadaqah to find a spouse, secure employment, or avert calamities. You can also contribute any doubtful wealth towards our campaigns for charitable purposes.

If you are unable to contribute financially, please share and spread the campaign to others.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it." (Narrated by Muslim 1893)

Allah also says: “And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous. They are those who spend [in Allah's cause] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people, and Allah loves the doers of good.” (Surah Al-Imran 133-134)
