I feel blessed if my leader do this
For the very first time in my short life, I have witnessed a sitting or presiding Ruler is replaced by another. This, I would say is rather peculiar and not the prevalent practice but the proclamation as Tuanku Faris Petra as the 41st Sultan of the state of Kelantan, is certainly the first in many years. Professor Aziz Bari, a renowned expert in Constitution opined a few days ago that such is valid provided that it is done accordingly by the State Regency Council. The case is interesting due to its academic discussion which will arise soon. But this writing will not focus on the validity or the impact of such proclamation.
Being a new Ruler, who has been groomed to take over certainly attracts some if not intense attention to him. What attracts the blogger is the qualities possessed by the new Sultan. Again, for the very first time the nation witnessed a Ruler leading a prayer , behind him were the learned including the well-known Tok Guru. Being a leader, one is supposed to be able to carry out such task with ease as the Holy Prophet and the Rightfully Guided Caliphs who succeeded him themselves were also led the prayers.
A blessed leader should possesses such quality and not merely the skills of being able to lead in worldly matters. A country will immensely be blessed if one like him is the leader. Hopefully by 2012 this nation of ours will witness such memorable event when one who is of high piety assumes the onerous responsibility of guiding the nation towards 2020. One who is not corrupt inside and out, Insya Allah
