I have no idea whether I should be happy with the news or not. Perhaps, because I do not follow the political issues that much. Yet again, I regret for not being able to cope because the issue of politics is not an issue which is specified for the politicians, but it is also an issue which public should take interest too. I have the responsibility of knowing about it. Hmm..
Along once said something to me regarding obeying a follower and I think what he meant was taken from these two sayings:
1. The Prophet s.a.w said:
“Seseorang muslim wajib mendengar dan taat, sama ada suka atau pun tidak. Melainkan apabila dia diperintah untuk melakukan maksiat. Bila dia diperintahkan untuk melakukan maksiat, tidak ada lagi istilah mendengar dan taat (dalam urusan maksiat tersebut.)” (Hadis Riwayat al-Bukhari, no. 2955)
2. Imam Abu Ja’afar ath-Thahawi rahimahullah berkata:
“Kita tidak membolehkan memberontak (membelot) terhadap para imam (pemimpin muslim) dan para penguasa walau pun mereka melakukan kezaliman. Kita tidak menyumpahi (memaki hamun) mereka dan tidak berlepas diri dengan tidak taat kepada mereka. Kita berkeyakinan bahawa mentaati mereka sepanjang dalam ketaatan kepada Allah adalah wajib, selama mana mereka tidak memerintahkan melakukan maksiat. Kita tetap mendoakan kebaikan untuk mereka supaya mereka dikurniakan dengan kebaikan sama ada dari segi fizikal atau pun rohani.”
Wallahualam.
If I could talk to the new PM, perhaps one of the things which I want to suggest is to make every leader and politician learn and understand and apply the political structure and purposes brought by the Prophet s.a.w. He’s the best example.
Learning and knowing are two different things as learning has a deeper impact on a person because a person who learns is a person who absorbs the knowledge that he applies it in his life while knowing is only at a surface level where one ‘know’ as to know and takes it as an info. If the a knowledge is applied, then InshaAllah matters such as bribery and ‘pecah amanah’ won’t happen.
Hmm..amanah itself is wide enough to be discussed.
It’s good that one knows his ability but at the same time it is worrying that everyone seems like wanting a position so badly. If one is qualified, Alhmadulillah bagusla. Perintah dengan amanahNYA .
It makes me to wonder if people…we ever think of the questions which might be asked later, just as much as I am wondering whether I’ve covered my duties thoroughly. Duties which no one gives but they are endowed (as a servant of Allah, the follower of Muhammad, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a student, a citizen etc.) Wallahualam.
