Yesterday,the haze got worse.I could smell the polluted air in my own house! It happened about almost years ago-it was very bad then.But now, we Malaysians had to suffer again the irresponsible actions of our neighbours who keep on burning their forests. We had protested through diplomatic channels and through a demostration before.And yet,has our neighbour Indonesia learnt their lessons? I am not against the Indonesian people but those culprits who could not care less about the effects on others arising from their actions.
The answer is a BIG NO. All of us are suffering. Personally,I am suffering itchy eyes and sneezing and coughing.I felt so tired that I can't go to my surau for my solat terawih. Is this what we could expect from fellow muslim neighbour in the month of Ramadan? May Allah open their hearts to be a good neighbour.
Marilah kita renungkan perkara 43 dalam buku Al-Hikam:
Pokok dari semua maksiat dan kelalaian serta syahawat itu,kerana ingin memuaskan hawa nafsu.Sedang pokok dari segala ketaatan,kesedaran dan kesopanan akhlak budi,ialah kerana ada pengkangan(penahan) terhadap hawa nafsu.
Sila rujuk ayat 53 Surah Yusuf.
Sempena bulan Ramadan yang mulia ini, sama-samalah kita memanfaatkannya untuk mentarbiyyah jiwa kita supaya jangan mengikut nafsu yang tamak haloba untuk mendapat untung kebendaan yang banyak dan segera diatas kezaliman yang kita lakukan kepada orang lain.
Walahu'alam.
Abedib, from my point of view the Indonesian is not to be blame. I believe this mass burning has been happening many many years ago but the haze issue is just these few years if I remember correctly. Ini semua pada saya adalah ujian dari Allah untuk kita. It is just not possible for the haze to be here today and not years before if it is just because of the open burning by the neighbouring country.
