Risalah ini disampaikan dengan Amanah Penting :
Hendaklah orang yang berqurban melaksanakan qurban karena Allah semata. Jadi niatnya haruslah ikhlas lillahi ta’ala, yang lahir dari ketaqwaan yang mendalam dalam dada kita. Bukan berqurban karena riya` agar dipuji-puji sebagai orang kaya, orang dermawan, atau politisi yang peduli rakyat, dan sebagainya. Sesungguhnya yang sampai kepada Allah SWT adalah taqwa kita, bukan daging dan darah qurban kita. Allah SWT berfirman:
لَنْ يَنَالَ اللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاؤُهَا وَلَكِنْ يَنَالُهُ التَّقْوَى مِنْكُمْ
“Daging-daging unta dan darahnya itu sekali-kali tidak dapat mencapai (keridhaan) Allah, tetapi ketaqwaan daripada kamulah yang mencapainya.” (TQS Al Hajj : 37)

measures).
Lack of developed system for setting product standards &
conformity assessment procedures.
Volatility in exchange rates.
30. Computer Components
While the ASEAN region is the world’s second largest
exporter of computer components, it faces a major challenge
from China.
Cotton Woven Apparel
Tariff reductions have helped facilitate a small but growing
amount of integrated production of cotton woven apparel
among ASEAN countries. However, trade programs such as
free trade agreements have more heavily influenced regional
integration.
31. Hardwood Plywood and Flooring
Access to legally sourced and sustainable wood
supplies is an important competitive factor affecting
integration, export competitiveness, and inbound
investment in the ASEAN hardwood plywood and
flooring industry.
Healthcare Services
Growth of private healthcare firms in the ASEAN
market has generated increased trade and
investment in healthcare services.
32. Motor Vehicle Parts
ASEAN has been successful at meeting critical
Roadmap targets and facilitating regional integration
within the automotive sector. Despite these
achievements, the regional automotive industry and
market have yet to fully integrate.
Palm Oil
The Roadmap for Integration of Agro-based Products
has had far less impact on the structure of the ASEAN
palm oil industry than have multinational corp. and
international groups.
33. CHINA
A THREAT TO ASEAN COUNTRIES
China is a major competitor of ASEAN countries in
attracting foreign investment and in integrating
regional production chains. However, ASEAN
recently concluded an FTA with China, because
China has become an important hub in Asian supply
chains. ASEAN countries hope the FTA will offer
better opportunities to participate in these networks.
ASEAN offers an alternative production location to
China for multinational firms wanting to diversify
their operations to reduce business and political
risks.
