Kedamaian Buat Semua,
Terlebih dahulu saya ingin menyampaikan ucapan Salam Lebaran kepada rakan-rakan blog ini.
Semoga perayaan kali ini dapat mengeratkan silaturrahim di antara sanak saudara, rakan taulan dan semua yang kita kenali.
Saya juga ingin membuat satu pengumuman.
Iaitu blog ini sudah dikeluarkan dari sekatan dan sudah kembali bersiaran di saluran internet perdana.
Terima kasih Malaysia Baharu.
Di musim perayaan ini saya tertarik kepada sekeping imej yang saya terima melalui telefon mudah alih.
Ia menceritakan dengan tepat mengenai perbezaan akhlak di antara dua buah masyarakat yang sama-sama menghuni bumi ini.
Di sebelah kiri adalah imej sebuah longkang di negara Islam yang bernama Malaysia.
Sementara, di sebelah kanan ialah imej longkang di sebuah negara bukan Islam bernama Jepun.
Longkang di Malaysia dipenuhi dengan sampah sarap. Menyebabkan airnya berhenti mengalir lalu tidak membenarkan kehidupan menumpang teduh.
Saya dapat membayangkan bau busuk yang terhasil dari keadaan ini.
Longkang di Jepun pula bersih dari sampah sarap. Air longkangnya bersih dan mengalir tenang menyebabkan ikan koi boleh menumpang hidup di dalamnya.
Siapakah sebenarnya yang sedang hidup di dalam Jannah ?
"Perumpamaan (matha-loo) Jannah yang dijanjikan kepada orang yang prihatin (mut-ta-qoo-na) yang di dalamnya ada sungai-sungai dari air yang tiada berubah rasa dan baunya, sungai-sungai dari air susu yang tidak berubah rasanya, sungai-sungai dari khamar (wine) yang lazat rasanya bagi peminumnya dan sungai-sungai dari madu yang disaring; dan mereka memperoleh di dalamnya segala macam buah-buahan dan ampunan dari Rabb mereka, samakah ia dengan orang-orang yang kekal dalam api (naa-ri) dan diberi minuman dengan air yang mendidih sehingga memotong ususnya" AQ 47:15
Ashwed
The difference between the poor and rich nations is not the age of the Nation.
ReplyDeleteThis can be demonstrated by countries like India and Egypt, which are more than
2000 years old and are still poor countries.
On the other hand, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which 150 years back were insignificant, today are developed and rich countries.
The difference between the poor and rich nation does not also depend on the available natural resources.
Japan has limited territory, 80% mountainous, unsuitable for agriculture or farming, but is the second in worlds economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw material from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.
Second example is Switzerland, it does not grow cocoa but produces the best chocolates in the world. In her small territory she rears animals and cultivates the land only for four month in a year, nevertheless manufactures the best milk products. A small country which is an image of security which has made it the strongest world bank.
Executives from rich countries who interact with their counterparts from poor countries show no significant intellectual differences.
The racial or colour factors also do not evince importance: migrants heavy in laziness in their country of origin are forcefully productive in rich European countries.
What then is the difference?
The difference is the attitude of the people, moulded for many years by education and culture.
When we analyse the conduct of the people from the rich and developed countries, it is observed that a majority abide by the following principles of life:
1. Ethics, as basic principles.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. The respect for Laws and Regulations.
5. The respect from majority of citizens by right.
6. The love for work.
7. The effort to save and invest.
8. The will to be productive.
9. Punctuality.
In the poor countries a small minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.
We are not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel towards us.
We are poor because we lack attitude. We lack the will to follow and teach these principles of working of rich and developed societies.
WE ARE IN THIS STATE BECAUSE
WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OVER
EVRYTHING AND EVERYONE.
WE ARE IN THIS STATE BECAUSE
WE SEE SOMETHING DONE WRONG
AND SAY - “LET IT BE”
WE SHOULD HAVE A SPIRITED MEMORY
AND ATTITUDE…
ONLY THEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO CHANGE OUR PRESENT STATE.
The principles listed are permanent values embedded in our conscience. The Qur'an was sent as a reminder of these values and for us to follow them. Those who follow will be successful, and those who deny these principles, will suffer (91:7-10)
DeleteInstead, Muslims are dependent on other scripture than the Qur'an, thereby associating others with God.
Evidence shows that successful countries adhere to permanent values, even if the majority of the citizens and the government do not profess to be Muslim. (http://islamicity-index.org/wp/)
24:55 says this, too, indicating that we should revisit our definition of what is being a Muslim is.
I agree.
Deleteselamat hari raya, maaf zahir dan batin..
ReplyDeleteselepas menonton perlawanan bolasepak dunia, penyokong jepun sukarela membersih tempat duduk stadium..
siapa yang mengajar mereka tentang utamakan kebersihan?
di negara kita orang islam sibuk dengan ritual keagamaan untuk mendapatkan ganjaran pahala yang jika dikumpulkan memerlukan crane untuk mengangkat nya kerana terlalu berat hinggakan akhlak nya ke laut
ReplyDeleteSalam
ReplyDeleteMust be very busy.

Salam Tuan,
ReplyDeleteRindu nak membaca tulisan dan lontaran pendapat terbaru Tuan.
Moga dipermudahkan segala urusan Tuan.
Not happy with the current state of politics in Malaysia. Too much menial issues. School shoes, stewardess outfit, lgbt. Not progressing well.
ReplyDeleteYeap. Was really hoping for policy announcements & actions that are very pro modernisation especially in reforming the education system as well as the syariah courts. The administration is kow-toing to the religious bigots. See how even the age of marriage caused our deputy not giving a firm stance to the religious caste.
Deletelama sangat bertapa ni sahabat...kami harap semua ok!
