[...on nabi ayub and his many mega trials ]


friends, dato and tansri,

are we, malaysians, on trials, or is this adab/punishment from allah?

we have a pm and a cabinet full of self-serving individuals, the meekest word one can use for them is : 'incompetent 
there are certainly more stronger words than 'incompetent', but that would push me towards using the unmentionables and 'carut mencarut'. 
this is still hari raya, i will just be polite here.

we have a system of monarchy, or rather nine monarchs that certainly could have done better, given the situation, to make themselves more relevant to the time.
given this present national crisis, a more proactive posturing from them would have ensured 
their 'pre-eminence' up till as long as  'the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west'.

the younger generations from amongst the raayats, our children's generation that is, are still looking very hard for their relevance.
this  represent a crisis.
a crisis of confidence
a crisis of gross executive excesses and avarice
to still warm their seats and consider this as 'business as usual' showed gross lack of wisdom and care.
they have just lost an opportunity to be just great.
they collectively chose to be mediocre.

the list goes on....
a judiciary that is totally impotent.
a press that is better not mentioned or present. they don't make any difference
an academia that is totally at best,'kang kong'.
an ulama class that is non existent.
its head, now not only proven to be  'soft in the head ' but also got blocked plumbings in the heart recently!

and a people that is totally 'cowed'

is this a trial or a punishment?
you decide.

let us listen to shaykh tawfique's commentary of ayat 40 to ayat 44.
about nabi ayub, a paragon of iman and sabr.
life is indeed a trial for all of us mere mortals.
and nothing beats the trials set upon on nabi ayub.

and from ayat 45 to 55, about trials and punishments; and about the family of ibrahim; about the multi gateways to heaven; about allah's special dispensation to 'abiding' and god fearing women....
