Sufiah di lagakan membeci keluarga nya dan akhirnya lari dari rumah ke keluarga 'angkat' bahasa Inggeris. Sekarang pada Sufiah juga di kenali 'Shipa Lee' 23 adalah seorang pelacur yang terpaksa melacur untuk membayar yuran pengajian. Namun berita di bawah menunjukkan konspirasi musuh islam untuk merosakkan sebarang yang berharga di miliki ummah.

"The sudden flight of a maths prodigy from Oxford has revealed her parents' dark past. Rosie Waterhouse and Edin Hamzic report

Farooq and Sufiah Too clever by half?

This weekend Sufiah Yusof, the runaway child prodigy, is contemplating a future turned upside down as she settles in with foster parents in
Bournemouth. Social workers will be coaxing the 15-year-old, who seemed so happy and self-assured when she won a place at Oxford three years ago, to explain why she disappeared the day after her final exam of the year; and why, since being found by the police after two weeks in hiding, she still refuses to return home or allow her family to know where she is.

bThey will also want to understand the meaning of an e-mail she sent to her parents, Farooq and Halimahton Yusof (photo), at their home in Coventry after she read newspaper reports of their appeal for her return.

She wrote: "Has it ever crossed your mind that the reason I left home was because I've finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse (to paraphrase yourself, a 'living hell')?"

For their part, the Yusofs proclaimed that their "naive and unstreetwise" daughter had been abducted and brainwashed, denying any suggestion of abuse of her or any of their five children, all of whom are gifted in maths.

"What is important is that Sufiah is safe," said her mother. "We need to give her time. We must find out what happened, why she left. The truth is with Sufiah. We just want the situation to calm down."

Farooq Yusof denied suggestions of a serious rift with his daughter. He had not been abusive, as she alleged, he said. "Never. I love my daughter. There are third parties involved. This is being investigated."

In a message for Sufiah he added: "We love her very, very much, no matter what has happened, no matter what she has said, no matter what has been said by the papers. It is totally unimportant. We just love her and want her to come home."

But the story of the family took a dramatic turn yesterday when it emerged that Sufiah's mother and father had been convicted of involvement in a £1.5m mortgage fraud.

Yusof's real name, it turns out, is Farooq Khan. His father is believed to have come to Britain from Pakistan in 1963 because he wanted his nine children to have a British education.

Yusof was sent to borstal in 1977, aged 19, after being found guilty over a £100,000 mortgage racket involving his father and several members of the Khan family.

They had swapped ages, identities and partners, and supplied false information to building societies to obtain mortgages on several properties.

Again in August 1992 he was jailed for three years for his part in an even more elaborate fraud conducted over eight years and involving 54 mortgages and £1.5m.

At Oxford crown court, Yusof (Khan) admitted being involved in obtaining £430,000 of mortgages by deception, together with mortgage tax relief, benefits and rate rebates.

In the same case Sufiah's mother, described then as a 35-year-old student, was given a 12-month suspended jail sentence and had £25,000 confiscated.

Isolating: St Hilda's

The court was told she had lived in a house with a tennis court while receiving £180 a week in state benefits. In 1992 the Yusofs would have had four children aged six to 10. A fifth child was born two years later.

Confronted by his past, Farooq Yusof reportedly said: "Everybody has skeletons in their cupboard. So what if my family and my wife were involved? I am and always have been right about the situation surrounding my daughter."

He insisted that a "third party" would soon be arrested for abducting her.

The Yusofs' criminal past adds a new dimension to the strange world of a couple who have produced five maths prodigies, apparently by using accelerated learning" techniques while educating them at home.

It was always an unusual household. What strikes visitors to the Yusof home is a sense of well-ordered and disciplined calm, something rare in a household with five children.

None of the children runs in to pester their father when he is speaking to callers, to settle a childish row, or to ask to watch television. They remain quietly upstairs with their mother or tiptoe to the kitchen to help prepare food for the family, who follow the strict Muslim traditions of Sufism and pray several times a day.

The "classroom" contains a blackboard, a computer, shelves of books and enough desks and chairs to seat all the family.

Their detached post-war house is, they say, rented from the Warwick University campus in Coventry, where two of their other children, now aged 14 and 17, are in their second year of a maths degree course.

Athough Sufiah was the first to gain a university place three years ago when she was 13, equalling the record set by the Oxford maths prodigy Ruth Lawrence, the following year her brother Iskander beat them both when at 12 he became the youngest child to enter university. He and their older sister Aisha set yet another record by becoming the youngest siblings to win university places.

The youngest child, six-year-old Zuleika, could turn out to be the brightest of all. According to her father, she could talk at one, read by two, and by five had reached A- level maths standard. Yusof considered entering her for the exam but has apparently changed his mind. Perhaps he is having second houghts about how fast to accelerate the learning of one so young.

The Yusofs always claimed they gave up academic careers, he as a uiversity researcher in maths, she in chemistry, to educate their children at home. In fact, the hothousing apparently started after Farooq Yusof left prison in 1994. The family said they were living on savings and earnings as freelance esearchers, but money must have been tight raising five children without a regular income.

Yusof has courted publicity since Sufiah was offered her Oxford place in January 1997. Using a freelance agency in Northampton, where they
then lived, the family featured in national newspapers recording the latest achievements of their children and promoting their strict eaching regime.

Yusof claimed that government ministers were interested in his methods and that he was negotiating a £40,000 book deal.

His concern with money was referred to with bitterness in Sufiah's e-mail: "You ruined my brother's life because you wanted him to make lots of money for you winning tennis tournaments."

This is taken to refer to the eldest child, Isaac Abraham, 18, who did not go to university. Like all his siblings, he was skilled at maths besides excelling at tennis, but a wrist injury put paid to his ambition to become a professional player. To his father's disappointment, he now works at McDonald's.

Aisha and Iskander were not offered places at Oxford but went to Warwick on condition, the university authorities insisted, that the publicity stopped. It created a logistical dilemma: where should the family live?

The parents decided to take it in turns, one staying in rented accommodation in Oxford, the other at the house in Coventry. The signs of a rift between Sufiah and her father were clear in the weeks before her exams. When her mother stayed in Oxford, say students, Sufiah was happy. But when Yusof took her place, Sufiah would return to a room she could use in college.

Her independence seems to have developed slowly in her three years at St Hilda's. Although she joined several groups, including the Islamic Society and the mathematics and Malaysian associations, she remained reserved and isolated.

"You'll have a job finding anyone who really knew her," said Laura Paskell-Brown, 20, a student who befriended Sufiah 18 months ago. "She struck me as very shy.

"She was into new ideas and human rights and she supported the students in the campaign against tuition fees all along. I used to see her sitting alone."

Another maths student, Jo Charman, recalled: "I cannot remember her ever talking about her family or her life outside the college to anyone. She always wore dark colours and she started wearing a headdress halfway into the second year.

"Every day after lectures she used to leave and go straight home. She had a residence in Oxford but she never took anyone there. She never told me anything about her private life."

Charman was one of the last students to speak to Sufiah before she disappeared. She remembers her talking about the pressures they were under. "I spoke to her before the algebra exam, which I was taking as well, and she was very nervous and told me she was dreading it. I never suspected that she was about to run away."

Police sources insist that Sufiah was not lured away in any conspiracy. She made her own way by rail to Bournemouth, where she could move unnoticed among the town's 30,000 foreign students. Police were tipped off by the owner of a hotel, where she had found a job, after he saw her photograph in newspapers and she was picked up outside a Bournemouth cybercafe, the Click 'n' Link.

According to a source at Thames Valley police, "the matter is now closed" and they "have no reason to think that she was enticed or helped to run away by a third party".

Bournemouth social services department is waiting to find out what she wants to do next. Whether she returns to her family, or to Oxford, remains to be seen.

"We are doing all we can to support Sufiah in all her wishes and to make sure she is in a safe and protected environment," said a spokesman.""

BERITA UTAMA

Tragedi hidup Sufiah

LONDON 30 Mac – Sufiah Yusof, seorang kanak-kanak pintar matematik yang pernah menggemparkan dunia apabila layak memasuki Universiti Oxford pada usia 13 tahun, tidak putus-putus ditimpa nasib malang.

Selepas bapanya, Yusof Farooq dipenjara atas kesalahan melakukan serangan seksual ke atas dua gadis berusia 15 tahun yang mengikuti tuisyen matematik di rumahnya, Sufiah pula kini dilaporkan menjadi pekerja seks.

Tragedi yang melanda kanak-kanak genius itu dibongkar oleh wartawan News of the World yang menyamar sebagai pelanggan, di flat murah yang didiaminya di belakang lorong di Salford, Manchester.

Sufiah dikatakan terbabit dalam kegiatan tidak bermoral itu, untuk menyara hidupnya sejak beberapa tahun lalu.

Entah di mana silapnya, gadis dengan senyuman menawan itu yang kehebatannya sepatutnya menjadikan dia wanita kaya, terpaksa memilih jalan itu untuk terus hidup.

Menurut akhbar itu, Sufiah dilaporkan mengiklankan ‘khidmatnya’ melalui Internet dengan tawaran 130 pound (RM830) untuk setiap sesi.

Dengan memakai nama samaran Shilpa Lee, dia antara lain menggambarkan dirinya sebagai ‘pelajar bijak dan seksi’ yang menyediakan perkhidmatan setiap hari dari pukul 11 pagi hingga 8 malam.

Dalam iklannya, menurut tabloid tersebut, Sufiah juga menyatakan dia lebih gemarkan ‘lelaki tua yang budiman’. Seorang bekas rakannya menyifatkan tindak-tanduk gadis itu sebagai: ‘‘Sesuatu yang sungguh menyedihkan.’’

“Dengan otak luar biasa yang dimilikinya, dia tidak mempunyai masalah untuk mendapat wang, sebaliknya hidup dia musnah dan menjadi tidak terkawal,” kata bekas rakannya lagi.

Selepas tiga tahun belajar di Universiti Oxford, pada usia semuda 15 tahun, Sufiah mencetuskan kegemparan apabila menghilangkan diri.

Dalam e-mel kepada keluarganya, dia menyifatkan hidup dengan bapanya ‘umpama dalam neraka’.

Ibu Sufiah, Halimahton berasal dari Muar, Johor manakala bapanya, Yusof berasal dari Pakistan.

Sufiah hanya ditemui dua minggu kemudian di sebuah kafe Internet di Bournemouth dan bekerja sebagai pelayan hotel.

Dia enggan kembali ke pangkuan keluarga dan diletakkan di bawah jagaan sebuah badan sosial sebelum kembali ke Oxford untuk menyelesaikan pengajian matematik peringkat sarjana.

Dia berkahwin pada 2004 ketika berusia 19 tahun dengan peguam pelatih, Jonathan Marshall, 24, tetapi rumah tangganya hanya mampu bertahan selama setahun.

Berwajah Harimau Berhati Singa!

Berwajah Harimau Berhati Singa!

Sebelum Kau Pergi...

Saidina Ali ada memberi petunjuk dan peninggalan untuk mereka yang mahu mengikut dan menjejakinya. Bunyi pedoman itu dapat dikutip dalam Nahjul Balaghah, begini:

'La tastawhisyu fi thariqilhuda liqillati ahlih. Fainnan nasa qad ijtama'u ala maidah syiba'uha qashir wa ju'uha thawil.'

Maksudnya: 'Janganlah kamu merasa kesepian di jalan petunjuk kerana sedikit pengikutnya. Manusia sungguh hanya berkumpul di sekitar hidangan. Kenyangnya sebentar, laparnya berpanjangan.'

Jadi, biaq pi lah orang pergi kepada dia. Kita mesti kekal jadi minoriti yang berpegang kepada kebenaran. – Faisal Tehrani

*Catatan tambahan: Sey amat meminati gaya penulisan FT, tapi bukan bawaan akidahnya. Sey ASWJ Mazhab Imam Syafiee dgn Kaedah Tauhid Asyairah wal Maturidiyyah. Pandangan ulama Sunni terhadap kitab Nahjul Balaghah (kumpulan khutbah, surat, dan kata-kata hikmat yang dinisbatkan kepada Sayyidina 'Ali bin Abi Thalib R.A.) adalah campuran antara pengakuan akan keindahan sasteranya dan kritikan terhadap kesahihan riwayatnya.Berikut adalah ringkasan pandangan Sunni terhadap kitab tersebut:1. Pengakuan terhadap Keindahan Sastera. Majoriti ulama Sunni mengakui bahawa Nahjul Balaghah adalah karya sastera Arab yang sangat tinggi nilainya. Muhammad Abduh(Tokoh Kaum Muda), bahkan pernah membuat syarah (penjelasan) ke atas kitab ini kerana kagum dengan balaghah (kefasihan) bahasa yang terkandung di dalamnya.2. Kritikan terhadap Kesahihan Riwayat - Walaupun dihormati dari segi sastera, ulama hadis Sunni umumnya berhati-hati dengan kandungan Nahjul Balaghah kerana:Tiada Sanad: Kitab ini dihimpunkan oleh Sharif Radhi pada kurun ke-4 Hijrah, jauh selepas kewafatan Sayyidina 'Ali R.A. (kurun ke-1 Hijrah). Kebanyakan khutbah di dalamnya tidak disertakan dengan sanad (rangkaian perawi) yang bersambung. Isu Kandungan: Sebahagian kandungan dianggap bertentangan dengan riwayat sejarah yang lebih sahih atau mengandungi cercaan terhadap para sahabat Nabi yang lain, yang mana ia diragui keluar daripada lidah Saidina 'Ali R.A..3. Sikap terhadap Isi Kandungan Bukan Sumber Utama: Dalam tradisi ilmu Sunni, Nahjul Balaghah tidak dianggap sebagai kitab rujukan hadis utama atau sahih seperti Sahih Bukhari atau Sahih Muslim. Boleh Diterima Sebahagian: Kata-kata hikmat atau nasihat yang tidak bertentangan dengan akidah dan sejarah Ahli Sunnah boleh diterima sebagai mutiara kata, namun tidak boleh dijadikan hujah hukum (dalil syarak) secara mutlak.Kesimpulannya, Sunni menghargai Nahjul Balaghah sebagai karya sastera yang hebat, tetapi tidak mengiktiraf seluruh isinya sebagai riwayat sahih daripada Saidina 'Ali R.A.Nota: Pandangan ini disimpulkan berdasarkan rujukan umum ilmu hadis dan ulasan ulama Sunni terhadap kitab tersebut.
