I have been busy at work and by the time I arrive home cook, have dinner that's the end of the day. Me cook eh? Like once or twice a week only. No small children to take care of now. For this week there's only hubby, son-in-law and me. Daughter is holidaying in Perth with Dad, Aunt Lisa and Azeem (my big baby), who flew from Melbourne to join the rest from Malaysia.
Saturday morning alone at home after cleaning up the kitchen am back to my Malay Drama watching bout. There are many dramas based on the teachings of Islam and to emphasise the dos and don'ts in Islam the dramas are sometimes exagerated. This morning's drama evolves around a man who is rich, an infidel, who ignores all syara', who disrespects and beats his wife and children. Of course the wife is old, if not older than him. There are part of the scripts that can be argued but do get the right sources for understanding to my 'silent readers' (I know who they are. He he..)
When asked by one of his village people to go for prayers at the mosque, he said no by saying he is still young and he can do that later. He is not old yet he says.
Ok. One day the man brings home his girlfriend/lover to stay in the house, when contested by the children with hrash words to the Dad, Mom says ' do not speak harshly to Dad- don't speak that way he is your father'. Oh OK. Am not sure how to respond to that...
He next chased out the children and wife from the house. The children left but the wife stayed. When asked by hubby to carry lover's baggage, she faithfully did, despite her ill health. Later when asked by hubby why she did not leave with the children, she said ' a wife's duty is to be by the husband'. True but even when he is like that?????? Hmm.... In his bout of anger he divorce his wife with 3 talaq.
To make the story short, the next morning he had a stroke and of course the young lover left him immediately and to add to his misfortune his factory was burnt down to ashes. There goes his health and his wealth.
Of course, so typical when in ill health and no young mistress to take care of, he asked for the ex-wife to return and has arranged for 'cina buta' - he has arranged for a person to marry the ex-wife and then divorce her after. Arranged for someone to marry and by force divorce her is not what is allowed in Islam. Though allowed if it was a natural happening like the wife finds her match and is now alone again.
The ending - at his deathbed he asked Allah for forgiveness and said that he 'redha' with Allah's punishmnt for him bla..bla..bla.. I am not sure what that means really. Nauzubillah, we do not want to end that way but only Allah knows whether his taubat is accepted. Not for us to judge.
Guess that's the drama for the week.
The moral of the story is to do all that is asked of us while we are;

- healthy before we are sick;

- free before we get busy;
- young before we are old;
- alive before we are dead.
