IS ALLAH ANGRY at THE MALAYSIAN AIRLINE? and at Muslims?


by azly rahman

I don't know. It is too insensitive for the PAS member to say this, without looking at the complexities of events, cause and effect, consequences, karma, Chaos Theory, interplay between fate and determinism, comparative aspects of right and wrong, pragmatism, and a range of other considerations especially when it comes to linking "divine retribution in Islam" vis-a-viz good v. evil. Too simple, simplistic, and irresponsible of a statement to make ... it also begs the question of a "Just God" . Here is why as I have always pondered upon the question of "Man proposes, God disposes", and I address this question to the questioner from that "Islamic" party : 

-- Was Allah angry at the Muslims and PAS in the case of the murder at Memali, back in the mid 1980s?

- Is Allah angry at PAS that it has never been able to take over the rule of the government of Malaysia?

-- Was Allah angry at the family of the prophet that led to the massacre at Karbala in which the bloody murder became a womb to the current chaos and mayhem in the Islamic world?

- was Allah angry at the Muslims in Middle East that the Islamic countries are now, one after the other humiliated and destroyed by "kaffir forces" that continue to win the war on terror?

- Is Allah angry at the Palestinians that it has never been able to get out of its misery although the world has its sympathy, and that Allah has been on the side of the Israelis? 

-- Is Allah also angry at all the airlines in the world that serves alcohol? Or-- is alcohol okay to be consumed according to other religions, as long as it is done so in moderation? 

I seriously don't know the answer but I would like any member of PAS to answer these questions ...

Otherwise, my continuing sympathy to family members of all those that lost their lives -- be they Jews, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, or pagans.

It is not time to hurt other more that one ideologically should. Besides didn't Islam even PAS preachers about "wisdom/fatanah" in sending messages of peace; that there such an idea called siddiq-amanah-tabligh-fatanah -- that one whose wishes to spread the truth must first embody it (siddiq), keep it as an eternal trust (amanah), educate one's self first (tabligh) and if one is confident that one's little learning is not dangerous, one can share with family members with utmost wisdom (fatanah) ...

And is that not what Muslims too believe that these four phases are also the basis of Muhammad's character?

THINK ... I am sure party members as such are well-versed in basic Islamic matters ...
I don't know ....
I seriously don't know ...
but do explain please
or if one prefers, be silent
and be respectful
better still, console the grieving
that will be the most "Islamic" thing to do ... -- ar

HE seems to bless the kafirs more than muslims.

Dr. Azly, take heart, take a brief rest to refresh the weary mind and soul.

Could God also share our similar pains and anguish when good intentions for the good of the communities and society at large are disputed outright by people who are high in aptitude for manipulating words, abusing power, human rights, dignity, obedience and trust ? For example the commandments in the Talmud : You shall not murder, You shall not steal, Honor your father and mother, etc. Had the respective politicians obey and live the commandments as a way of life ? As in deep remembrance of the Holocaust of the six million Jews and many non- Jewish victims who died ? A repeat of history is not following the said commandments.

These are universal similarities.

When ones have maturity and humility, incident like the thirty something woman turning into a hulk and hammering an elderly man's car with a steering lock, then on princess steroid, whining that she had suffered. Had her aptitude high on logical thinking and maturity, the problem could have been solved rationally. The man has faced humiliation, too, and many younger than her age group are abhorred by her wild action.

On a different note, isn't it bizarre to be informed that a doctor in her mid thirties likes inviting others to rate her on being adventure, fun, etc in her survey in the social media... as oppose to a singer, a clown or an artist, then it is obvious.

Your quote , " .... will this social media help globalize and multiply hatred..? "
As opposed to " implanted agents " of hatred, racism, bigotry, confrontation, contention, lies, eavesdropping, wiretapping that basic human rights to privacy is compromised - by masquerading in malicious and multiple identities;

So let there be good agents of making massive positive differences - determined and willed by individuals of all age groups, corporate individuals, communities and society in Malaysia; everyone, even those in the high social high social hierarchy share and experience distraught and anguish. Therein lies the similar pain, sadly only in such circumstance, people will move beyond selves, to unite to find strength to provide solace, to solve and find many incredible solutions.

There is a sense of salvation and restoration of human dignity and true friendship when Khaled Hoseini ends his masterpiece, Kite Runner, "For you, a thousand times !"

Peace and prayers for the people of Gaza and the children of Israel and worldwide - All His children !

The hopes lie in many millions of us - beginning with a few thousands by being honorable, just, respectful, show integrity and humility to all peoples. Will too many move on as in life goes on.....or rather taking deep reflection and making reconciliation and restoration of dignity, massive assistance and hope to as many fellow human beings as possible in the neighborhoods and nations ?
