Vote Wisely O Malaysians!

Applying these rules, anyone with a little bit of intelligence will know what to do with their precious votes...

1. If it is not broken, don't fix it.
If there is no evidence of a real problem, and fixing the "problem" would not effectively improve the situation, then don't waste time and energy (yours or anybody else's) trying to fix it.

2. One of these 3 things will happen as a result of your vote, either the situation remain the same, better or worse. Same is better than worse.

3. The unknown is scary. Why go near them?

4. People are human. They all make mistakes, and lots of them. The door of repentance is always open with Allah until sakaratul maut. Even so, no one should wait till they are on their deathbeds to repent for their sins, because the pangs of pain might make you forget to do so, and even worse that you might forget the One entirely.

5. Life is short.

ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّـهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّـهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٩٨

Know that Allah is severe in penalty and that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (98)

[Qur'an Al-Maida 5:198]

Allah is swift to punish as well as forgive. If we use the gifts that Allah has blessed us with to disobey Him and to deny His Messengers, then we hasten on His punishments in this world and the next. On the other hand, if we employ our gifts in the service of righteousness, then Allah will pardon our shortcomings, for He is truly forgiving and merciful.

إِنَّا لِلَّـهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ ﴿١٥٦ ...

...Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return)

[Qur'an Al-Baqarah 2:156]

ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا ﴿

٤٦

Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope. (46)

[Qur'an Al-Kahf 18:46]

Selamat mengundi.

May Allah bless tanah tumpahnya darahku and guide us and our leaders. Ameen.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalaam
