The universe was put together and run with precision and clockwork. Even the tiniest details have been sorted out through careful thought and planning. Right down to the yearly quarter days and the leap years. Any screw up or mess ups are really our own doing. If we mess up the ecosystem, mess with the trees then soil erosion, land slides and what not should be expected. Similarly, when we farm or fish the seasons and tides have all been pre arranged for us. God made the seasons and we accommodated by laying out his gift to us by assigning schedules to it. All using our brains. Sure apart from the man made catastrophes there will be some unexpected acts of nature that helps keep us in a perpetual and continuous state of learning but beyond that it is all ordered, sequenced and scheduled. God puts things together and we are supposed to use our brains, figure it out and adapt accordingly to it. Be it when planning our crops for farming, planning our fishing trips or even organizing academic calendars. Everything is structured. When we are faced with some difficulties it is the same brains that need to be used yet again to figure out how to overcome them. Of late epsecially our Malay society seems to be shifting away from thinking and moving towards a pointless strength by numbers ritualistic approach. Yeah some ostards have been preaching about the power of doas but logically doas in an unrealistic context will not materialize. Why? Because the illogical goes against the structure of things that God hinself has laid down for us. Take annual floods for example. Year in year out certain parts of the country face the same problem repeatedly over and over and over and over again. Instead of doing something about it in the real sense many flock together in congregation performing ritualistic prayers and combining numbers in doas yet haa God answred their request for the impossible? Of course not. Because it goes against the structure and He has structured it as such that during so and so months water levels rise and many parts will be inhabitable. What do we do? Do we learn from the Dutch? Do we migrate momentarily like how other Gods creatures do during climate changes? Do we? Or do we sit in congregation again and again expecting God to change the structure of what He has put together? Ironically many who believe in the power of doas are also directly or not disbelieving in Gods wisdom. After all for the last umpteenth years and decades said areas are hit by floods at the same time of the year, year in year out, so there is a structure to it. Gratefully, many have used their brains to come up with accurate measurements of time so that we can plan ahead. Sadly that ability to use what we have at our disposal to adapt to the repeated events seems to be non existant. We once again pray and expect a change in structure which will honestly not happen. Not because God is cruel or doesnt listen to you but because things are already structured and we are asking him to break that structure. Wouldnt that be an insult to God and to His wisdom? Insulting God isnt about not wearing head coverings or any of that superficial nonsense. Thats the arabs talking. If you dont believe in the structure of things, how it is put together and how and why it works and continuously ask for changes in the divine structure of things it is you who are insulting God. God isnt about miracles but about structure and order in the intellectual sense. And if your point of learning reference are the ostard retards and the olarmaks then you are definitely not going to learn anything useful since those kind have no thinking abilities whatsoever
