I salute to the one who came out with this saying- history keeps repeating/ might repeat itself.
Yeah, it sure does if we are not aware of our own history. Addition to that, if we choose staying ignorant to the current issues; happening inside or outside the country. Frankly, I’m not that pious enough to talk about religious thingy if you do ask around to whom that constantly judge me, but still, I think this is a free speech country or at least in the blog-sphere where I can point out a few of my concerns.
hitherto, there are just a lot of cases regard to gay-lesbian. What saddens me the most is, some women who claim themselves as muslims got married in Islamic way where there is solemnization ceremony and all. This couple was interviewed by some foreign reporters and they happily informed that they are now fighting for their right.
As a human being, attached with human nature consisting of sympathy, I am fully conscious of the “corrective rape” is cruel to these gays and lesbians of which now in current practice by certain mob of people in certain countries. (you may refer to cases of corrective rape in google). even in islamic teaching itself, it is never written/mentioned the law to rape or victimize these group of people. we actually have the different way to treat them which is to confine them in a room alone, far from others.
Reminders are all stated in the Quran.
So when Our Commandment came, we turned the town upside down and rained on them stones of baked clay piled up
Marked from your Lord, and they are not ever far from the evil-doers.
Maka apabila datang (Masa perlaksanaan) perintah kami, Kami jadikan negeri kaum Lut itu diterbalikkan (tertimbus Segala Yang ada di muka buminya) dan Kami menghujaninya Dengan batu-batu dari tanah Yang dibakar, menimpanya bertalu-talu.
Batu-batu itu ditandakan di sisi Tuhanmu (untuk membinasakan mereka), dan ia pula tidaklah jauh dari orang-orang Yang zalim itu.
(AlQuran, Hud:82-83)
And we rained on them a rain (of torment) and how evil of the rain of those that had been warned.
Verily this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
Verily, your Lord, He is indeed The Almighty, and the most merciful.
Dan Kami hujani mereka Dengan hujan (azab Yang membinasakan); maka amatlah buruknya hujan azab Yang menimpa kaum Yang telah diberi amaran.
Sesungguhnya peristiwa Yang demikian, mengandungi satu tanda (yang membuktikan kekuasaan Allah); dan Dalam pada itu, kebanyakan mereka tidak juga mahu beriman.
Dan Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu (Wahai Muhammad), Dia lah sahaja Yang Maha Kuasa, lagi Maha Mengasihani.
(AlQuran, As-Shura:173-175).
It’s heartbreaking to know the history, and can do nothing to prevent it from recurring. All I can offer is my prayers.insyaAllah.
