THE BELIEVERS’ HOPEFUL STATE.

Hopefulness in one of the
Believers’ characteristics.
The Qur’an states that hopefulness is an important characteristic of believers and, at the same, an indication of their faith. People place their hope in Allah according to their degree of faith, and will cherish a deep longing to obtain His mercy and infinite bounties because He has promised believers the most beautiful things in this world and in the hereafter. People will hope to secure these according to their degree of trust in Allah, their closeness to Him, and their submission and sincerity. Knowing that everything happens according to His will, believers do not fall into despair or become hopeless and pessimistic. And, since believers know that Allah will accept their prayers, they do not doubt, even for a second, that a seemingly terrible event is simply a part of their test and that eventually it will work out for the best.
Everything that happens comes about through Allah’s command of “Be”. At every second, everything and scene that appears before us is created through Allah’s will. Nothing is left to its own devices, for everything is created for the destiny that Allah has determined for it.
Believers who are aware of this do not lose hope, even when facing the most negative situations or the most distressing event, in Allah’s mercy or help. Those who are patient in hardship, do not lose hope, and never compromise Allah’s laws have been given glad tidings in both this world and the Hereafter.

ISLAM IN MALAYSIA TODAY.

Islam is not merely a religion. It embraces the whole life, emcompassing a legal, social and moral order. Islam as practiced in Malaysia is not necessarily the same as that in the Arabic culture of west Asia. The religion has accommodated in digenous and preIslamic traditionas. It now enjoys royal patronage and constitutional status as the official religion of the country. The Rulers of the various states, while the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (supreme Ruler of the Federation) is the guardian for those states without a Ruler, namely, Malacca, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Labuan.
In Che Omar Bin Che Soh V. Public Prosecutor (1988) 2 M. L. J 55, the supreme court considered the meaning of “Islam” or “Islamic religion’’ in Article 3 of the Federal Constitution. In a single opinion of five judges delivered by Salleh Abas L. P., their Lordships noted that although Islam was a complete way of life covering all fields of human activities, this was not the meaning intended in the constitution. British rule had introduced a dichotomy into the Malay state, confining Islamic law to operation as a personal law of marriage, divorce and inheritance for Muslims and secularizing public law.
From the early days of independence, the first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, during a debate in the Federal Legislative council, sought to convey the message that Malaya was not an Islamic state. He stated :
“I would like to make it clear that this country is not an Islamic state as it is generally understood, we merely provide that Islam shall be the official religion of the state”. (1 May 1958, official religion Report of Legislative Council Debates).

Seasons in The Sun

Goodbye to you my trusted friend,
We’ve known each other since were nine or ten,
Together we climbed hills and trees,learned of love and ABCs,
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend,it’s hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now the spring is in the air,pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I’ll be there.

We had joy,we had fun,we had seasons in the sun,
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.

Goodbye papa,please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family,
You tried to teach me right from wrong,
Too much wine and too much song,
Wonder how I got along.

Goodbye papa,it’s hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air:little children are everywhere,
When you see them I’ll be there.

We had joy ,we had fun,we had seasons in the sun,
But the wine and song, like the seasons-have all gone.

Goodbye Michelle my little one,
You gave love and helped me find the sun,
And every time that I was down,you always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye Michelle,it’s hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air;with the flowers everywhere,
I wish that we could both be there.

We had joy ,we had fun,we had seasons in the sun,
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time,
We had joy,we had fun,we had seasons in the sun,
But the flowers and the song like the seasons ,have all gone.
