I watched a programme on Sunday named 'Expose Mistik - Kisah Seram'. I thought they were showing Malaysian ghost stories - always prefer the local version of ghost stories, they're much scarier than the western ones. But it turned out to show about black magic practices in the Malay world. According to the host, the Malays and black magic are really inseparable - 'sebati' is the word he used. They also had an ustaz who explains the views of Islam on this practice. I'd like to quote some points he mentioned:
"God will take back all His blessings to those who practice black magic."
According to the ustaz, God gives everyone His blessings from the moment we were born. But the moment someone practices black magic, even for personal gain, like to get rich or to get love, God will take back all His blessings, one by one. From all aspects of that person's life - health, family, social, financial, everything! Even after death, God will still condemn that person.
Oh boy, oh boy, wouldn't I'd love to watch how her life is going to be like! It may take years, but it will happen... for I know God's promises are true. Even if you don't believe in God, there is such a thing as karma. Or more simply, I'm sure people won't say this for nothing: "What goes around, comes around". Familiar?
"If the black magic is used to cause trouble to others, then God will hate them as much as the people whom they caused trouble to. God will only forgive them if their victims forgive them."
Forgive? After you messed with my life... and my friends'? No way!
I don't mind giving stuff away to people. But not forgiveness, when I had to go through what I had gone through. All the pain and aches I suffered, the tears I cried, you think I can forgive just like that? Think again.
"They always tell people lies about their victims, and they usually sound very convincing that most people would normally believe them."
No, this one is not from the ustaz. It's from a friend, who has been told these lies. He admitted to believing in some, the first few times he heard them. But he was smart enough to realize that after some time, the stories got bigger and more ridiculous. He started to question the people who'd told him these tall stories, and now he can roughly tell which stories are the truth, and which are lies.
I pity those who believe in the lies, but at the same time, I wonder how come they are so stupid as to not even try to find out the truth. Listen to both parties, it's that simple. But no. And like that's not enough, these people would voluntarily help spread the lies to others, thus more innocent people get involved. And these people will again always spread the lies to more people, and the cycle goes on...
Surely the stories are so exciting that they all decided that everyone should know about it? Have you ever considered that these stories would break someone's heart? How about considering that person's good name? Apparently not. Think about this now - how different are you from the person who came up the lie? The way I see it: NONE.
