An interview With Hjh Noor Kumalasari about Tudung

Here's the reply from Hjh Noor Kumalasari:

1. Your name/email/contact nos.:
Hajjah Noor Kumalasari
~ contact e-mail: [email protected]

2. Your profession:
Now ~ Home Manager,
Before ~ Entertainer, Artiste, Singer, Actress & Model

3. A little bit of yr schooldays background:
Schooling in S'pore and then PJ, Happy Garden up to SPM (Commerce).

4. Do you cover full-time? Why/why not?
I cover all the time even when I am in the kitchen. This time is for
real, I am not 'acting' any more. Its funny how one can be at peace just
following
Allah's instructions. You do not need to reason out why anymore.

5. How old were you when you decide to cover?
Forty. Life 'really' begins at 40.

6. What factors led to your decision to cover?
One hadith dhoif ~ that for every strain of hair I may have to suffer
60 years in hell.
Even though I know it was hadith dhoif but it helps to motivate me.Of
course the first information was Surah Annuur ayat 31 which my husband
explained to me. Since it is kalimat Allah who are we to dispute. He
said I have to set a target to close up someday. That day is up to me
but he added " you better ask Allah to spare your life until that
date."

That day that I chose was the day I returned from my Hajj in 1997. I
was so grateful to Allah for allowing me to be in good health to go
to umrah in 1994 and then Hajj that year when I had to leave behind my
fourth child who was barely 6 months old.

Things were happening fast for me, my father died in Mecca the previous
year.

7. How did your family/friends/colleagues react?
Since I was rather fashionable and had always been known to people as
an artiste who was brave to experience with new looks, nobody paid
attention to the 'change'. Furthermore, we started not to like going
out to functions that we used to attend before any more. Therefore not many
were
aware of the change in me. I shunned publicity. I had the glamour life
once. That is enough. We feel that we do not have to do the same things
over and
over again.
Sometimes people thought that it is because we just came back from
umrah therefore we were 'excused' for looking like that.

8. Have you received positive/negative feedback?
Negative except for my husband. They assumed it must have been forced
upon me by my husband. Far from it. The way my husband teaches
me Islam, makes me love Allah more and more. If he had forced me to do
something, I may still do it but the love may not be there.

It takes a few years for them not to raised questions : " You're not
ho' ah?" I don't just wear tudung, I wear what I thought is acceptable by
Allah. That
is the cloth must be loose, the fabric dark coloured and thick (not
see-through) so it end up with only one signature outfit ~ that is black
jubah with a
long black shawl wrapped around the head like an Arab lady, sometimes I
add an arbaayah (black overcoat) over it. You have to be brave to be
different. Even from before, (in my heydays) my signature colour had
always been black. So all this I do "kerana Allah" and I enjoyed it.

Dressed like this has a distinct advantage, I am 'mosque-ready' ~
wherever I am, when I hear the azan I will go to the nearest mosque and
pray without having to bring telekong. It is so convenient, nowadays I
keep my wudhu' all the time.

But there were some very sincere people who liked it very much, my fans
came and hugged me when they see me in public. I would not have
known that if I had not changed.

One businessman told my husband that he was moved when he heard me on TV
saying " luckily Allah did not take my life away when I was at
my peak in my career".

Some celebrity friends asked me to doa so that they will change like me
one day. Insyallah, not only I gave them my doa, it came with my
tears as well for them. Not many people know these secret wishes. These
celebrities are deep down very nice people.

9. What kind of reaction have you received from the broader community -
Muslims and non-Muslims?
There is no negative reaction from Non-Muslims because they respect our
religion the same way we respect the sami who wears saffron
robes searching for purity. Not so with all the Muslim sisters. Some
ill-assumed that there is always a one-up-manship syndrome in everyone. I
do not look down at them. I just pity them and hoped that one day Allah
will also give them hidayah and they can see for themselves what they are
missing.

10. Do you feel that you are less accepted by the community than those
women who do not cover?
No, I can go anywhere with it but maybe I am lucky because when they
know its me, they give special considerations. It is the personality
underneath the cover that reacts with people really.

11. Did you/do you ever feel pressure to cover? From whom?
Only from my own self. No pressure from outside. It's the other way
around.

12. Did you/do you ever feel pressure not to cover? From whom?
Yes from Film Producers and sisters.

13. What kind of covering do you wear?
Always black jubah like Arab ladies.

14. How did you view covering before you decided to do it yourself?
Before I went to Mecca, I did not like it. The way it was worn by our
ladies was so unattractive. I just want nothing to do with it. You have
to feel good in what you are wearing, then only the self-esteem grows
on you.

15. What have been taught about hijab from your family? School? Society?
None, not from school nor my family. I did not see anything wrong in
what we were doing at all. Isn't that strange ?

16. Do the women in your family cover? (if a mother, what do you teach our
children about hijab?)
None before, now my mother and one on-and-off sister. Other sisters,
phew, maa syaa Allah. In my own family, I am the only girl,
alhamdulillah.

17. What does it feel to cover?
Humble and shy, both are good attributes in Islam.

18. What are the disadvantages/disadvantages of covering?
Nobody wants to give an acting contract unless I open the tudung "just
in front of the camera". I was able to say no to that "kerana Allah".

19. Does wear hijab have any noticeable impact on your daily life at
home/work/in broader environment, etc?
Yes it has become part of me, a second 'skin'. It goes hand in hand
with wanting to purify my heart from all illnesses. I feel the
Almighty is close to me from His responses and I do not want to lose
Him again.

20. Do people comment on your hijab? What kind of things do they say?
They want to learn how to tie the shawl over the head without using
pins.
The young people says " You look good and fashionable ".
The elders says" Alhamdulillah".
Most Arabs thought I am one of them.

21. Do you receive special attention on the subway/streets?
Yes. They want my autographs.

22. Do you feel you are treated differently because you cover?
No. Except one instance whereby a Saudi man seemed to feel
uncomfortable socially because my dressing keep reminding him that it is
not right for
him to be sitting in the same majlis with ajnabis. There were a few
other ladies who were not wearing tudung and he was quite comfortable until
I
entered the majlis. So it proved that men tends to put on better
akhlak when they are in the presence of ladies who wears tudung.

23. What does the hijab symbolize for you?
Purity ~ Lover of Allah.

24. What would you like people to think when they see you in hijab?
I hope they see a creation that belongs to Almighty.

25. What do you think they see?
Some see 'fanaticism'.

26. How do you see about women who wear hijab? About women who do not wear
hijab?
Since I used to be one of them, there is a lot of tolerance,
furthermore, we must always wish them well instead of ill-judging them. Who

knows what Allah has in store? I certainly do not want to nag at
anybody, because if it does not come from within themselves it may not
last.

27. Why do women cover more than men?
Can you compare apples with bananas ?

28. Some people think that the hijab is men's way of controlling women -
their movements and their sexuality - what do you think of this
claim?
On the contrary, there were many cases whereby the husband forbade
their wives from wearing tudung. I pity these ladies who received
enlightenment earlier than their husbands.
On sexuality, the more something is covered the more curious it
becomes. But men tends not to ogle at women who are covered because their
action will embarrass us not because they don't want to know.

29. Does covering here mean that you are less free than your non 'covering'
women friends?
If I am a 100 meters sprinter, maybe I may need to compete with the
men. But I do no such thing. I feel free only when I can follow
everything Allah ask me to do.

30. Fatima Mernissi ( Moroccan Feminist) argues the hijab means that women
should not be outside much. What do you think of this claim?
During our prophet's time ladies were free to go out with permission
of the husband. The fact that they had been asked to cover up
implied that they are allowed to go out. Women can leave the house as
long as there is a mahram accompanying her, when she goes to work without
being accompanied by her mahram, she does not follow sunah. If she
had sinned she must ask for forgiveness. Even men commit sins everyday.
Orientalist likes to shade Islam such that it becomes unattractive to
women.
" If only they knew that only free and respectable women were asked
to cover up as a trademark to differentiate them from the slaves ~
it is in fact an honour to be asked to cover up your body"

Wallahu'allam.

Cerita hidup Noorkumalasari


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ikrar wanita bertudung hitam ini, dia sudah bersara dari dunia seni, lakonan mahupun nyanyian. Hari berganti hari, tahun berganti tahun, diam tidak diam, rupa-rupanya sudah 12 tahun wanita yang pernah berselimut kemilau popular ini meninggalkan dunia glamor.

Seluruh hidupnya, hanyalah untuk keluarga dan mendambakan diri mencari dan mengutip keredhaan Ilahi.

Itulah kehidupan yang sedang dilalui oleh nama yang pernah mekar harum di laman hiburan tanah air, Noorkumalasari, satu nama yang pernah menjadi sebutan, dalam bidang peragaan, nyanyian mahupun lakonan.

Dia yang juga anak seniman dan seniwati ternama, Allahyarham Datuk S. Roomai Noor dan Datin Umi Kalthom ini juga mengakui, bukan setakat tidak lagi bergiat dalam bidang seni, menonton drama-drama dan program TV berbentuk keagamaan juga sudah lama tidak menjadi agendanya.

"Hidup saya semakin tenang. Entahlah, minat saya terhadap seni sudah lama mati. Dulu, ada juga terlintas di hati saya untuk berlakon filem atau drama bercorak keagamaan, tetapi memikirkan jadual penggambaran dan masa yang terlalu lama di lokasi, saya tidak sanggup," jelas Noorkumalari membahasakan dirinya Kak Noor dengan ramah ketika ditemui pada majlis pelancaran tiga program terbaru Astro di ibu negara, Selasa lalu.

Noorkumalasari turut terlibat dalam program berjudul Cerita Artis Malaysia (CAM) yang akan disiarkan di Astro Ria, 7 April depan. Selain Noor, anak seni lain yang turut menjadi pengisi program ini adalah Fauziah Ahmad Daud, Aznil Nawawi, Awie, Amy Search dan Datuk Siti Nurhaliza.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Memeranjatkan, Noorkumalasari yang sering menolak untuk muncul dalam program-program hiburan seperti ini, buat pertama kalinya akan mendedahkan kisah keluarganya di layar kaca.

"Saya bersetuju untuk terlibat dengan CAM kerana pada tafsiran saya program ini boleh memberikan satu tauladan kepada semua. Peminat boleh mengenali siapa Noorkumalasari dengan lebih dekat," kata wanita berusia 52 tahun ini penuh ramah.

Realistik dan sedar siapa dirinya sebelum ini, Noor memberitahu semua supaya jangan terkejut sekiranya menerusi program itu nanti, penonton akan disajikan dengan gambar-gambar seksi yang pernah dirakam ketika dia di ambang popular dahulu.

"Saya sendiri mengizinkan pihak penerbit menyelitkan gambar-gambar lama saya. Alasannya, saya mahu penonton khususnya remaja sekarang mengenali saya, siapa saya dahulu dan siapa saya ketika ini.

"Saya anggap itu sebagai dakwah. Saya tidak pernah menyesal dengan dunia dahulu bahkan bersyukur kerana Tuhan tidak mencabut nyawa saya dan memberikan peluang untuk saya meneruskan hidup dengan cara begini hari ini," jelas Noor optimis.

Bahagia dengan corak hidupnya, kata Noor, dia dan suaminya, Wan Muhammad Yusuf, 57, kini semakin menikmati kemanisan hidup sebagai pasangan suami isteri.

"Suami saya sudah bersara, anak-anak pula sudah besar. Jadi, selepas menghantar mereka ke sekolah, masa yang terluang adalah untuk kami. Kami boleh beriadah, pergi berenang, beribadah dan banyak menghabiskan masa bersama," luah Noorkumalasari dalam nada ceria. - TENGKU SUZANA RAJA HAMAT

Noor Kumalasari beri ceramah tentang aurat

Oleh SITI AZIRA ABD. AZIZ

"FESYEN Islamik dikaitkan dengan aurat dan bukan mudah untuk seseorang itu menutup auratnya lebih-lebih lagi wanita.

"Saya juga perlu menutup aurat dan apa yang saya lakukan pastinya akan menjadi perhatian umum..," ungkap pelakon, penyanyi dan peragawati Noor Kumalasari yang pernah menempah nama dalam industri hiburan tanah air dalam era tahun 70-an hingga 80-an.

Noor mula memasang niat untuk menutup aurat dan bertudung semasa beliau berlakon lagi dan ia semakin meluap ketika beliau mengerjakan haji di Mekah pada tahun 1997.


Noor sedia berkongsi pengalamannya bertudung dalam bengkel busana muslim dengan tema 'Aurat' di Festival Fesyen Islamik ke-6 (IFF VI).

Niatnya termakbul apabila Allah membuka pintu hatinya untuk bertudung pada hujung tahun itu.

Demi merungkai segala pengalamannya sebelum dan selepas bertudung, Noor akan berkongsi cerita tersebut dalam sebuah bengkel busana muslim dengan tema 'Aurat' di Festival Fesyen Islamik ke-6 (IFF VI).

Bengkel tersebut akan diadakan pada 22 November di Starhill 1, JW Marriott Hotel. Kuala Lumpur dan turut menampilkan penceramah terkemuka seperti Datuk Dr. Fatima Al Zaharra dan Prof. Madya Mohd. Najib.

Para peserta yang berminat bolehlah menghubungi 03-4256 2060 atau 019-3131 550 di mana bengkel tersebut hanya dibuka kepada 100 orang dengan bayaran RM220.

"Sebelum ini, saya selalu meminta kepada Allah supaya membuka pintu hati saya untuk betudung dan Alhamdulillah, akhirnya Dia makbulkan.

"Sebenarnya saya dah lama berniat untuk memakai tudung secara tidak langsung semasa berlakon filem Tiada Esok Bagimu di mana saya mengenakan tudung dalam filem tersebut.

"Jadi, saya akan berkongsi pengalaman bersama orang-orang di luar sana yang hendak menutup aurat," kata Noor ketika majlis sidang media IFF VI di JW Marriot Hotel semalam.

Sebelum ini, ada juga orang yang ingin menjemput Noor untuk mengadakan ceramah tentang menutup aurat tetapi dia menolak.

Kini, Noor bersedia untuk berkongsi ceritanya kerana bengkel tersebut lebih banyak dikaitkan dengan fesyen busana muslim.

"Mungkin ramai antara wanita di luar sana yang hendak menutup aurat tertanya-tanya adakah mereka akan mempunyai kawan dan boleh mendapat kerja selepas bertudung litup?

"Bagi saya, orang akan lagi hormat kita kalau kita bertudung litup. Biarlah orang tak nak kawan dengan kita atau sukar mendapat pekerjaan.

"Saya yakin, semua itu mempunyai hikmahnya dan orang yang membuat sesuatu kerja kerana Allah, Dia akan membantu kita mendapat kerja yang sesuai dan mendapat kawan yang lebih baik daripada kawan yang meninggalkan kita dulu.

"Insya-Allah, saya akan berkongsi dengan penonton tentang bagaimana saya berubah dan melakukan dakwah secara individu," tutur Noor dalam nada yang tenang.

Noor berkali-kali menegaskan bahawa seseorang itu perlu menutup aurat dan bertudung hanya kerana Allah dan bukan sebab sesuatu.

Melihat penampilannya yang selesa ke mana-mana dengan hijab dan berjubah labuh, Noor berkata dia gemar memilih jubah longgar dan tudung lebar berwarna hitam kerana fabrik tersebut tidak jarang.
