friends, dato and tan sri,
when you guys speak, speak straight!; and if you cannot speak straight, then, speak objectively and with wisdom.
that is the message from ayat 70.
HE leaves us no choice actually.
ayat 71 is still about 'calling a spade a spade'.
elsewhere in HIS book, allah definitively advised,
O ye who believe! Follow not the footsteps of the devil. Unto whomsoever followeth the footsteps of the devil, lo! he commandeth filthiness and wrong. Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, not one of you would ever have grown pure. But Allah causeth whom He will to grow. And Allah is Hearer, Knower. [ an nur, 21 ]
that is our ugama.
amal maaruf, nahi mungkar
in malaysia in 2016, for 5 years now we have allowed ourselves to be run by a gang of pirates and robbers.
a consequence of not speaking and thinking straight and not 'calling a spade a spade'
it is akin to following the 'footsteps of the devil'.
