Surah an Najm, 53.........ayat 33 to ayat 48

friends, dato and tansri,

we return  to our tafseer after a brief digression because of election fever locally.

ustad muhammad mustaffa discusses and gave a commentary of ayat 33 to ayat 48. his discourse recorded in masjid binjal, kota bharu some 4 years back.

prof ovamir anjum's discourse on ibnu qayyim's madarij as salikin, discusses the next station after the station of 'awakening' : repentance, al taubah.

from our collective perspective as malaysians, we have given this last group of elected leaders some 10 long years to be self awakened and seek repentance in their words and deeds!
there was none forthcoming!
today we hear mr khairy jamaluddin of the youth wing trying to galvanise support  for change.
for the raayat, who in the majority  for sometime still loves amenu and bn , it is too little and too late.

they failed miserably or rather their top leader failed very very miserably and the rest chose to sink along with him rather than follow the principle of 'amar ma'aruf nahi mungkar' and correct the gross misguidance  and total corruption.

alhamdullillah!, at the last ge 14th, we have thrown them all into the gabbage dump of history.
insyaallah this new cohort of leaders will remain on the straight and narrow path of righteousness.
if they also misjudge us and under estimate our resolve, we will collectively punish them  come the next election.

if we the raayat just know our collective power and the power of 'tsunami', no one is above board.
in this fast moving world of open communication and democratization of information and knowledge, no elite is safe from critical public scrutiny and accountability.

not even royalties mind you.
power and positions of power ,whether in the civil service, political or monarchy is not a blank cheque to misbehave or manipulate.

in post tsunami malaysia of 2018, all institutions at the top end, executive and non executive, have to behave.
there is no sacred cows anymore!

the raayat decide.

allahualam, insyaallah!

station of awakening has for prerequisites:
. al yaqaba.....initial state of awakening
.al basirah......insight
.al kasp......purposiveness or intentionality
. al tafakkur......contemplation. a believer is a thinker.

the next station is station of al taubah
it is for you and me, a repentence for past and present and future sins.
the nabi , who is maksum did minimum 70 as tagfirullah a day, some say 100.
repentance is both for the starters as well as the ones who have arrived!
