SERIBU EMPAT RATUS TIGA PULUH HIJRAH

There are people who worship Allah to gain His Favors this is the worship of traders; while there are some who worship Him to keep themselves free from His Wrath this is the worship of slaves; a few who obey Him out of their sense of gratitude and obligations this is the worship of free and noble men.

tahun 1429 telah kita lalui dengan penuh pendidikan, banyak pelajaran telah kita terima untuk membuatkan kita lebih banyak berhati-hati di dalam sebarang tindakan. Tindakan kita sebelum ini yang kita anggap bijak rupa-rupanya sekarang baharulah kita sedari bahawa ianya telah merugikan terlalu banyak jiwa dan sumber. Sedangkan semasa kita mempunyai peluang untuk membuat pilihan, semasa itu hati kita buta. Tetapi apabila hati kita sudah mula celik dan kita sudah mula melihat kenyataan dengan lebih jelas - tetapi waktu tidak lagi menyebelahi kita. Hanya pada Allah tempat kita memohon keampunan.

Kecualilah jika hati kita buta selama-lamanya.

Kita tidak pernah cuba untuk mencelikkan mata hati kita, kita biarkan ia buta selama-lamanya dan berpuas hati dengan apa yang telah dilonggokkan di hadapan kita. Kaki dan tangan kita sendiri yang telah merosakkan diri kita sendiri, kita sendiri merelakannya atas berbagai-bagai sebab dan alasan.

Tahun 1430 adalah tahun yang penuh cabaran! SELAMAT BERJAYA.
