Looking at Malaysia nowadays, I think this country once known as peaceful and harmony is getting worse. The Lowyat issue, the changing of cabinets, the political issues and so on were disturbing me. Talking about peace, I rembered one ayat:
And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah . And if it returns, then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. (QS Al-Hujurat 49:9)
There are 4 versions of stories related to the reasons why the ayat was revealed. Most of them are about the fight resulted from the words. Thus, it is not necessarily about the war or the big fight, but also the small ones. Sometimes, people fight just because of small matters. It is important for ourselves to unite and avoid any bad actions, whether with the Muslims or non-muslims. We are all one. Don't we will feel uncomfortable and stressful when our community fights each other?
So, talking about the Malaysian community. We consists of multi-ethnic people with various religions. However, that will not make us apart. In fact, people outside respect us for living peacefully in one country. We don't want catastrophes like the 13th May tragedy, right? So, try to avoid mentioning about sensitive issues, especially about races. If you ever want to talk about it, make sure that it will not hurt anybody. Please,
think before you do anything.
Lastly, I hope Malaysia will remain as a peaceful Islamic country. Remember, Islam don't allow us to fight those who won't harm our religion.
