spiritual discourse in cyberspace....on ' a soft heart ' and ' God's gst '

[  http://tafseerkoran.blogspot.my/2013/04/surah-as-sajdah-prostration-32epilogue.html  ]

friends, dato and tansri,

mufti waseem khan of trinidad/tobago wraps up surah as sajdah in this slot.

the ending of surah as sajdah reminded me of a question posed by a dato recently:

" doc nik, if islam is truly god's revealed religion, why are the muslims downtrodden and at the bottom of the league table, everywhere around the world?"

he is 75, highly schooled....a self confessed secular humanist

his question sounds cheeky  and naughty, for someone who professed to be secular and muslim at the same time.

[ i do not know whether in god's book it is acceptable to be such 'animal', but that would entail writing a book, perhaps the likes of prof tariq ramadan would, in future....rather than waste his time trying to reinterpret the qur'an. he neither have the zuhudness nor the humility and wisdom to embark on this project, with due respect and my apology. ]

i walk away, allowing his question, unanswered.

very sensitive question, especially in the context of malaysia now.

we have a whole cabinet here, mostly so-called muslims, suppporting a chap who, the whole world said, rightly or wrongly,  had 'songlap' billions from the state coffers.

if i answer the dato's question, in the local context, it would mean rubbishing the ugama of the whole cabinet, and even the ulama' and scholars, who stay back in the background 'macam 'lembu lembu kenyang'.
