Before We Move On to Surah ad Dhariyat, 50.........'knowing allah'

friends , dato and tansri,


2018 promises nothing bright for the average malaysians actually.
they continue in the ennui of the time added to it a sense of almost total hopelessness.

for the last 8 years or so we are governed by a kleptomaniac of the the highest order.
he seems to be very successful in surrounding himself with a bunch of morons!
to top it up we have a monarchy on top of him who are satisfied to feed from the same trough; having great inertia to revitalise itself and having no urgency to show some relevancy.

for the average raayat at least, from my crystal ball gazing,  it look like they may have to endure this kind of governance for another 5 long years.

people say we deserve the '..it' that we deserve, as a people who cannot change ourselves.
in this time of 'fitnah' let us look into our ugama more deeply and get some much needed solace and hope.

i get very much encouraged and 'mahabbah' when i listen to shaykh hamza yusuf.
this time he was addressing a mixed bunch of mainly people of judeo-christian-secular back ground with a sprinkling of muslims in the audience.

it was at yale university in 2016. the subject was universal........ 'knowing god'!
enjoy him.

not many in malaysia now, especially in the rarefied upper echelon of society, seem to believe there is a life after this life!
at least in practice it seemed that way.
congratulation sir!
