There is Hope.

It's the day of the election. Finally. After much campaign and slinging match, the day of "judgement" is finally here. I just hope that when the final result is out there will not be fights among the opposition parties. I hope that the losers will accept defeat with grace and determination to do better in the next round while the winners will stay humble and fulfil their promises.

As human we sometimes forget that positions and wealth are also tests from Allah. For as long as we don't abuse our positions and use our wealth wisely, we would probably pass the test. I use the word 'probably' because only Allah has the final say whether what we do is accepted or good enough to grant us a place in jannah. It depends very much on our intention when we embark in every single thing that we do. Deep down honest-to-goodness intention.

If everything that we do is for the sake of Allah then, we are alright. But that is so easily said than done. We often get distracted and attracted to worldly goods. With the help of the devils of course. It may not be easy to give up worldly pleasure for the sake of life of the hereafter which seems to be oh-so far away.

Thus, lets remind each other to be a more dedicated person and take on our responsibility more seriously. With lots of honesty and sincerity. With Allah in our heart and the Prophet (saw) as our guide. And don't forget to count our blessing with every little thing that we have given.

My special prayers to our future leaders who will rule the country and may the country continues to be prosperous and remain in peace. Ameen.
