Surah al Hujurat.....ayat 6 to ayat 10

friends, dato and tansri,

ayat 6 to ayat 10 far transcends nabi's time. it foretold the 21st century when IT connectivity and explosion of information technology and super fast mass communication, make unaccountable poor governance no longer tenable to the masses. words and ill deeds got known very fast and so is misinformation.

i was at a madrsah discourse the other day when the ustaz was discussing about the ills of misinformation related to leadership.
i poses a difficult question to the ustaz:

what if the whole world is of the view that our  government is obviously corrupt, are we as raayat still not able to discuss that in public. are these deviant behaviour not open to public odium and discussion from the muslim perspective?

in the local context, what do we do when we have:

an  inspector general  who thinks jho low is the other name for a pomelo?

or an attorney general who cannot see an elephant in the room?

or much of our scholars and ulama, who not only remain quiet like well-fed kittens, but feel it is ok for numero uno to be found with 900 million rm in his personal account?.

or the august royal houses who certainly can do better but choose to just warm their seats in the comfort of their istanas, thus losing a grand opportunity to be relevant.?
people on the ground expect substantive and vigorous vehemence and anger from their royalties , not an insipid  equivocal  statement of displeasure.
a great opportunity to get rid of one person and save amenu was lost!
instead the august body has allowed it to go on a self destruct mode....
and with so many clowns surrounding numero uno, self destruct amenu would.
it is a pity.
60 years going down the drain, like the congress party of india.

or do we sit still and wait until all the whole world declare us as a pariah state, devoid of 'the rule of law'?

or wait for our neighbours to take the necessary actions for us?

the ustaz was speechless that morning.
but now i got my answer in ayat 9 of surah al hujurat:


And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah; then, if it return, make peace between them justly, and act equitably. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable.

in this 21st century, one do not have to fight anymore. 
just vote them out at the next general election!
put all those involved in this odious crime against millions of humanity behind bars for the rest of their lives and bring justice to the land.

certainly, islam is about good personal and public behaviour, excellence governance and justice.
the present state of affair is a gross disrespect to islam.
we become a laughing stock to everyone in the world.

dr nik isahak wan abdullah





O ye who believe! If an evil-liver bring you tidings, verify it, lest ye smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what ye did. (6) And know that the messenger of Allah is among you. If he were to obey you in much of the government, ye would surely be in trouble; but Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in your hearts, and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto you. Such are they who are the rightly guided. (7) (It is) a bounty and a grace from Allah; and Allah is Knower, Wise. (8) And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah; then, if it return, make peace between them justly, and act equitably. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable. (9)
