friends, dato and tansri ,
nabi daud alaihisalam was a commoner before he was conscripted into saul's army and before his epic slaying of goliath.
he went on to being blessed to become nabi and al sultan.
his son, nabi sulaiman, was not only blessed to be al sultan for human, he also had control over the jinns.
his pedigree is impeccable.
just see how wise daud alaihisalam was by this simple doa of gratitude to his lord over the blessing bestowed upon him:
" oh allah! how can i show enough gratitude to you when that very act of my gratitude is a great favour from YOU?..."
people like qarun and haman were also blessed.
blessed with impeccably high iq's, eq's , and the social-cultural structures of their time to become creme de la creme of the heap.
haman, the substantive chancellor of the exchequer to pharaoh, died when the high tower he build for pharaoh 'to see moses' god', collapsed!
as for qarun, the donald trump and bill gate all thrown in together of his time, were swallowed by the earth, along with his dozens of wharehouse of silver, gold and diamonds.
i tried very hard as i may, looking into old scriptures and hadiths, soheh,hasan, gharib and israelites, the whole lot, to see whether there was any mention of serious character fault... whether he was a serial rapist; a tyrant with his people; a secular humanist of his time or whatever...just any blotches in his character.......and there was none.
he was not even involved in any 1Mgedebe,scatter-brained money laundering project, that has found its way into the socio-political and financial fabrics of our time in Malaysia now.
his only character fault was that he was too proud of his acheivements.
pickthal, the old english qur'an interpreter put is in one word: ' haughty'.
qarun, [ and even probably people like modern day hamans and qaruns everywhere ], thought he was where he was because he was qarun!
many of us very successful people in malaysia in 2017 have to give serious thought to this : YOU ARE NOT THERE JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR IQ AND EQ!!
you are just bloody lucky, you are chosen to be there. ....long before your time!
give thanks to allah in the proper way.
don't be proud or haughty.
elsewhere in the qur'an, we have this admonition from allah, '..you are not as tall as MY mountains, neither your foot steps make any indentation on MY earth!!...'.
ayat 13 in surah as saba' is about blessings, gratitude and shukr.

ps:
i wonder whether collective silence, or at the most muted conversation, in the face of over gross injustice and mungkar in and around the top political leadership, as what is happening now in malaysia constitute ingratitude to allah, especially amongst the ilmuans and the shakers and movers of society, the academics and the scholars. the great ' knowing and tidakapathy' majority....the big 'cari makan' group.
have to ask an ulama' over this, but currently the ulama' in malaysia are all mostly behaving as if they are 'tone deaf and dumb'!
as someone put it aptly the other day, we have turn into a nation of eunuchs with testicles!
i dont normally agree with zaib ibrahim usually , but on this score, we are on the same page!
