[  commentary by shaykh tawfique chowdhury  ]




friends, dato and tansri,

the clever mukminun lives, oscillating between two emotions.... fear and hope in allah.
avarice, nepotism, greed, hasad, materialism and excessive love of the 'dunya' are 21st century false 'gods'

Is he on whom the word of doom is fulfilled (to be helped), and canst thou (O Muhammad) rescue him who is in the Fire? (19) But those who keep their duty to their Lord, for them are lofty halls with lofty halls above them, built (for them), beneath which rivers flow. (It is) a promise of Allah. Allah faileth not His promise. (20) Hast thou not seen how Allah hath sent down water from the sky and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as watersprings, and afterward thereby produceth crops of divers hues; and afterward they wither and thou seest them turn yellow; then He maketh them chaff. Lo! herein verily is a reminder for men of understanding. (21) Is he whose bosom Allah hath expanded for the surrender (unto Him), so that he followeth a light from his Lord, (as he who disbelieveth)? Then woe unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah. Such are in plain error. (22) Allah hath (now) revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture consistent, (wherein promises of reward are) paired (with threats of punishment), whereat doth creep the flesh of those who fear their Lord, so that their flesh and their hearts soften to Allah's reminder. Such is Allah's guidance, wherewith He guideth whom He will. And him whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. (23) Is he then, who will strike his face against the awful doom upon the Day of Resurrection (as he who doeth right)? And it will be said unto the wrong-doers: Taste what ye used to earn. (24) Those before them denied, and so the doom came on them whence they knew not. (25) Thus Allah made them taste humiliation in the life of the world, and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be greater if they did but know. (26) And verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of similitudes, that haply they may reflect; (27) A Lecture in Arabic, containing no crookedness, that haply they may ward off (evil). (28) Allah coineth a similitude: A man in relation to whom are several part-owners, quarrelling, and a man belonging wholly to one man. Are the two equal in similitude? Praise be to Allah! But most of them know not. (29) Lo! thou wilt die, and lo! they will die; (30) Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord ye will dispute. (31) And who doth greater wrong than he who telleth a lie against Allah, and denieth the truth when it reacheth him? Will not the home of disbelievers be in hell? (32) And whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein - Such are the dutiful. (33) They shall have what they will of their Lord's bounty. That is the reward of the good: (34) That Allah will remit from them the worst of what they did, and will pay them for reward the best they used to do. (35) 

[  translation by pickthal  ]

yes, your excellency

your predecessor, despite his excessess, leaves putrajaya and klcc, and proton.
ok, accepted that proton make huge loses every year but it invigorates some form of industrial revolution in an otherwise largely agrarian society.

pak lah, despite his somnolence, leaves a positive balance in the country' s account.
you , despite your whistling in the dark and your clowns, what are you leaving,
apart from a huge national debt and trouble for our anak cucus!

you will die, and  they will die; 
then by allah on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord you guys will dispute.
