40:10 ........listen hard all dear sinners!..........repentance, repentance repentance
54:15 .........' all of us must 1st change our hearts...'
friends, dato and tansri,
'deeper dive', here evokes good memories of my scuba diving days some years back.
the deepest safe dive one can do is at about 90 to 100 feet down. even then one can stay at this level for several minutes only because , at 100 feet we consumed more compressed air from our tank due to high compressive pressure of the water at this level compressing even our lungs.
a few minutes spent at the sea bed and up you go on your slow accent upward, and stopping at 15 feet from the surface for a three minute decompression interval, forcing oneself to have long period of exhalation ....a safety procedure all scuba divers take and practise as biblical truth, to make sure the lungs would not burst from sudden fast accent, due to sudden expansion of air in the alveoli of the lungs giving rise to life threatening pneumothorax, ie burst lungs
the best scenic dives are usually at 30 to 50 feet in depth where there are lots of vegetations, fishes and colours!
but then big fishes are deeper..
at 100 feet down on the sea bed the whole world is in black and white, no colours, since the surface light reach very little here.
different shdes of gray , to be precise.
eerie silence.
my favourite spot to say prayers and zikrullah!
the danger of deep dive is nitrogen psychosis.
at this level one get more nitrogen collected in one's blood and this can give rise to a kind of stupour and euphoria. to a point one may not be too sure one is ascending or descending.
that is why in diving we have a buddy system. we dive in pairs to countercheck each other.
wreck dive, dives in sipadan and maldives, where there are atolls are neccesarily deep dives
some 10 years back deputy minister and senator, dato alex lee, a long time diver and very experienced, was found drowned in a diving accident somewhere in flores.
people in the diving community hypothesized that , as he was an avid spear fishing enthusiast and an able diver, he was forced into deeper dive by a big catch and in his excitement brought to deeper depth by swift under sea current., and from there he got nitrogen psychosis,going deeper and deeper....
allahualam
so when my daughter dr nathasha, some years back, told me she wanted to take up scuba diving, i discouraged her.
" tak payah lah sha...too many things can go wrong down there. you have two kids and a husband to take care off.."
with the qur'an, it is different.
deeper dive into the qur'an would not kill, maim you permanently or make you lost.
a paediatric colleague at my hospital some years retorted to me , when i tried to introduce tafseer to him,
" nik, to me abdullah yusuf ali is enough..."
omg!
how can we move mountains of rust collected over years of ghaflah if we have this kind of attitude?
people often ask me, " doc what do you think is wrong with our malay muslims, nowadays?"
i say right away.,
" kurang fikir , kurang zikr, kurang ilmu qur'an......kuran, kurang , kurang!"
otherwise how can you explain an ex minister of law and some ladies taking mais/jakim to court over a fatwa!!
or the ex pm taking the nation to something down like 100 billion rm!
or ceo's and professors in universities still in cloud nine and denial state over this issue?!
all and sundry from mamaks on the street to monarchs in their istanas warming their ....sses doing nothing for years.
all just happy with their 'cari makan' and 'dedak' that percolate down to them.
