The 3D Effect

Democracy and dictatorship are hailed as the dominant concepts of power within the political discourse. Yet, democracy and dictatorship whose primary strength and existence rely on man himself, are not the ultimate source of power.

Divine power which rests on ALLAH is in fact the true nature and the highest unparallel form of power which democracy and dictatorship depend on. It is by His Permission that we are able to exercise our freedom of speech and expression. And it is by His Permission that few among us are able to exert absolute control on others.

Both democracy and dictatorship succumb to His Will as all men do. We ourselves witness that life and death is beyond our ability to decide. Moreover no power that hinges on man are able to sustain itself without any form challenge and are eventually replaced. Thus the 3D effect whose active inter-play involves the continuum between democracy and dictatorship, but the outcome rests on the peak of power (divine) which do not share its dominance with anything else. It belongs to ALLAH Subhana Hu Wa Ta'ala alone.

It is through this reflection of man's own frail existence that we can finally understand that everything in this world is sustain by ALLAH and it is only Him that we should place our hopes for the pinnacle of reward and help. Those among men that receives honour in this world and the hereafter such as the anbiya, auliya and sholihin are certainly endowed with His Knowledge and Wisdom. They are granted the ability to create miracles and govern (for some) yet returning that display of greatness - for those in their time to bear witness upon, to ALLAH The Almighty. And thus they were regarded as among His Slaves that are grateful and worthy of emulation.

Man is created in the best of shapes. Yet many became ingrates and aim to share divinity with Him. Thus the challenge of life is truly the submission of oneself to ALLAH, rendering believe in Him through the chartered path of Muhammad (Islam), encouraging good and forbid evil, and to be patient in adversity. It is the faithful tread of these conditions that truly makes one an 'abid whose reward is Jannah and Mardhatillah.

Ya ALLAH, do not lead us astray after you have given us guidance and bestow on us Your Grace, For You are Most Loving. Ya Allah, we have err towards ourselves. Henceforth forgive us and bless us for if not we will be among those who are unsuccessful. Amin, Ya Rabbal 'Alamin.
