First able, Assalamualaikum to all my frens…this news might be gives a big shot 4 you guys (especially 4 those football fans-super fanatic). ‘MUST READ’
Last night, I went to library, and I take a look some newspaper on the mini table. And I found this one interesting news. Then, when I search on the internet, it’s already post out in many articles globally. Here I bring you with two of the articles that I found through the internet, take a look:
“Don’t wear ‘devilish’ Man Utd. Jersey, Muslims warned
Wednesday, 21 July 2010 Super Admin
(AFP) - Muslims must not wear the famous Manchester United red jersey because of the "devil" emblem on its team crest, Malaysian clerics said today.
Manchester United and the rest of the English Premier League are massively popular in Muslim-majority Malaysia and the rest of the Asian region, but conservative religious scholars said the jersey is un-Islamic.
Also off limits are the shirts of teams including Brazil, Portugal, Barcelona, Serbia and Norway, all of which carry images of the cross on their team emblems.
"This is very dangerous. As a Muslim, we should not worship the symbols of other religions or the devils," Nooh Gadot, a top Islamic cleric from Johor, said.
"It will erode our belief in Islam. There is no reason why we as Muslims should wear such jerseys, either for sports or fashion reasons," said Nooh, an adviser to the Johor religious council.
"Even if it (the jersey) is a gift, we should decline it. It is even more sinful when people realize this is wrong and still buy these jerseys to wear," he added.
Nooh said there was no "fatwa", or religious edict, against the shirts but that one was not needed when it was clearly wrong for Muslims to don such a garment.
"These Muslims should repent, repent immediately," he said.
Another leading cleric, Harussani Zakaria, a cleric from Perak, agreed that devils should be shunned, not celebrated.
"Yes of course in Islam we don't allow people to wear this sort of thing," he said. "Devils are our enemies, why would you put their picture on you and wear it? You are only promoting the devil."
Malaysia is a generally moderate Islamic country, but conservative clerics have issued controversial edicts in the past including a ban on the ancient practice of yoga, which is criticized for including Hindu religious elements.”
“Muslims shouldn't wear Brazil, Man U jerseys
Muslims wittingly or unwittingly
wear football jerseys which display images of crosses, liquor brands
and devils.
Johor Religious Council adviser Datuk Nooh Gadot, according to a KOSMO! report, said wearing such jerseys were forbidden in Islam.
“It is as if Muslims are worshipping and exalting the symbols of other religions. Islam does not compromise on this matter, regardless of whether it is worn for fun, fashion or sport,” he said.
Perak Mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria, who agreed with Nooh, said although Islam did not forbid its followers from participating in sports or dressing up, it has to be done within the boundaries of Islamic law.
Among the football teams whose crests carry images of the cross are Brazil, Portugal, Serbia, Barcelona and Norway, while Manchester United carries the “Red Devil” slogan on its team crest.

So, as a Muslims do you want to deny it? And there are also other jersey that have cross symbol are not stated above. Anyway what I want to highlight here, that we as Muslims should more be cautious take alert with you surrounding and environment in order to keep ourselves safe from anything that opposite to the syariat.
As I said before ; “…Boleh jadi tidak diterima doamu kerna terdapat yg haram pada makananmu atau pakaianmu atau pada kedua-duanya”.
