The Wake up Call.

A mammoth gathering of Malaysian Muslims at Putrajaya, the administrative capital just ended this evening and it was attended by the Prime minister and other dignitaries. To date this is the most positive religious move that the Muslims in this country have made towards not only for the well being of the beleaguered nation but for the missing Jet Liner that is still haunting every caring citizen of this country. Yes it was awe inspiring listening to the Doas or prayers beseeching the Lord to intervene in our lives in these trying times where there is so much political and religious if not racial animosities, unsettled accounts of corruptions and social ills that has befallen this nation of late and off course the saga of the MAS flight  MH370 brought it all about; this is our eye opener, this our wake up call.
This the meaning of a collective spirit at work where all present has one thought in mind and that is to ask for what is best for the nation from the Creator, The Merciful, The Compassionate. It is our surrendering to His Will and our submission to His intervention in what we as humans are in quandary, lost for answers and lost in our ways towards one another. It is a collective spirit kneeling before the All Mighty to ask for forgiveness for all the transgressions that has been wantonly committed by us as citizens of this nation disregarding human as well as divine laws in order to feed our insatiable hunger for greed and power.
I sincerely hope that all the rest of the citizens of this country who are non Muslims will take this as a good example and follow sooth with their own forms of worship and prayers towards bringing back stability and justice to the country, to bring Peace and harmony among its mixed racial groups and to awaken the minds of the wealthy and the poor, to bring awareness to all the fate of this great country. We are fragile, we need to unite in our collective spirit and hammer on heavens doors for our deliverance as we have found that we cannot do so on our own. No matter how a skeptic we are or how jaded our minds are in this day and age when we cannot locate a jet liner despite all that we claim to posses as our knowledge and information technology, we have failed and we need help; the world needs help. The final source of help that man can turn to is his Creator, God if you want to call Him that Allah if you are a Muslim.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi
 “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” 
― Francis of Assisi

Allah. It all starts with Him – the universe, humanity, and our own conception – and it all comes back to Him in the end. There’s no victory without Him, no progress, no peace. Strengthen your relationship with Him in the easy times, and you will find Him beside you in the hard times.” – Wael Abdelgawad
