your excellency,


He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. (36) .

not too late for you to be guided though.
you just need to be simply entirely honest with yourself.
your marm, your children, your esteemed family, even your famous late father
will not be able to help you.
as a pre requisite to your 'taubatan nasuha' though you have to ask for penitence from 27 million souls you have wronged!......and this is difficult.
most of them want to see you behind bars for the rest of your life for 'crime' against their anak cucu.

your life is not simple 
you are not any pa' mat nyadap from kuala ketil or padang pa' amat.
you are numero uno.
your omission and commission  affect millions.
your incompetence impoverish and invalidate previous gains.
obviously you never learn lessons from umar abdul aziz
and i dont blame you.
your education have been largely too secular.
you cannot see beyond the veil of this ephemeral life.

Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. (36) And he whom Allah guideth, for him there can be no misleader. Is not Allah Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong)? (37) And verily, if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust. (38) Say: O my people! Act in your manner. Lo! I (too) am acting. Thus ye will come to know (39) Who it is unto whom cometh a doom that will abase him, and on whom there falleth everlasting doom. (40) Lo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder over them. (41) Allah receiveth (men's) souls at the time of their death, and that (soul) which dieth not (yet) in its sleep. He keepeth that (soul) for which He hath ordained death and dismisseth the rest till an appointed term. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought. (42) Or choose they intercessors other than Allah? Say: What! Even though they have power over nothing and have no intelligence? (43) Say: Unto Allah belongeth all intercession. His is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. And afterward unto Him ye will be brought back. (44) And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are repelled, and when those (whom they worship) beside Him are mentioned, behold! they are glad. (45) Say: O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of the Invisible and the Visible! Thou wilt judge between Thy slaves concerning that wherein they used to differ. (46) And though those who do wrong possess all that is in the earth, and therewith as much again, they verily will seek to ransom themselves therewith on the Day of Resurrection from the awful doom; and there will appear unto them, from their Lord, that wherewith they never reckoned. (47) And the evils that they earned will appear unto them, and that whereat they used to scoff will surround them. (48) Now when hurt toucheth a man he crieth unto Us, and afterward when We have granted him a boon from Us, he saith: Only by force of knowledge I obtained it. Nay, but it is a test. But most of them know not. (49) Those before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not; (50) But the evils that they earned smote them; and such of these as do wrong, the evils that they earn will smite them; they cannot escape. (51)Know they not that Allah enlargeth providence for whom He will, and straiteneth it (for whom He will). Lo! herein verily are portents for people who believe. (52)
