*When the Truth Must Be Conveyed, But Morals Must Be Maintained*
📖 Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says :
Ta-Ha (20:42)
ٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِى وَلَا تَنِيَا فِى ذِكْرِى ٤٢
Go forth, you and your brother, with My signs and never falter in remembering Me.
Ta-Ha (20:43)
ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ٤٣
Go, both of you, to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.
Ta-Ha (20:44)
فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوْلًۭا لَّيِّنًۭا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ ٤٤
Speak to him gently, so perhaps he may be mindful ˹of Me˺ or fearful ˹of My punishment˺.”
Ta-Ha (20:45)
قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ ٤٥
They both pleaded, “Our Lord! We fear that he may be quick to harm us or act tyrannically.”
Ta-Ha (20:46)
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ ۖ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ ٤٦
Allah reassured ˹them˺, “Have no fear! I am with you, hearing and seeing.
✨ *Wisdom We Should Ponder*
🧠 *Based on the logic and spirit of these verses, the Quran teaches a principle that is highly advanced and relevant across time :*
🔹 Power that exceeds limits must be reminded
🔹 The truth must be conveyed directly to the source of the problem.
🔹 However, the language used must remain gentle, civilized, and dignified.
🔹 Human fear is natural, but it should not be allowed to stifle moral courage.
🔹 Allah affirms: He is always with those who convey the truth.
📌 *This is the great lesson:*
The Quran never commands silence in the face of uncertainty, but it also does not condone hatred, slander, or violence.
🕊️ *Contextual Relevance of the Diploma Controversy for High-Ranking State Officials in 2026*
❓ *The reflective question is:*
*Who are "Moses, Harun and Pharaoh" in today's era?*
➡️ *Moses, Harun, they are people who are honest, sensible, and have straight intentions, who speak the truth for the sake of public justice. They simply want to uphold the truth when there is a polemic in society through the applicable court channels.while maintaining ethics that give rise to slander and harm those who should not be blamed.*
❓ *Then, who is the "Pharaoh" today?*
➡️ *Pharaoh in the context of the current era, it is not only done by individuals, but by a group in power who hold closed authority, are reluctant to explain,and let small problems escalate because of a reluctance to be open.They allied themselves by doing various things to cover up their corruption.without pity sacrificing anyone who intends to uphold the ultimate truth.*
⚖️ *Important Lessons from this Public Polemic*
📣 *In the context of allegations of fake diplomas of high-ranking state officials, which have sparked pros and cons, divided public opinion, and even resulted in casualties during the general election period,Citizens who question important matters concerning state officials must face the law,without using a balanced path to achieve the truth of justice.
*The Qur'an gives a clear message:*
✅ If the problem can be solved with openness and honesty, then that is the most beneficial way.
✅ Prolonged silence actually opens up space for suspicion, conflict, and social victims.
✅ The state should protect the people, not let the common people bear the burden of elite conflict.
🕯️ A problem that is actually simple will not become prolonged, if it is answered from the start with honesty and clarity of heart.
*Allah's Warning about Unjust Power*
📜 Word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala:
The Stories (28:4)
إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًۭا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَآئِفَةًۭ مِّنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٤
Indeed, Pharaoh ˹arrogantly˺ elevated himself in the land and divided its people into ˹subservient˺ groups, one of which he persecuted, slaughtering their sons and keeping their women. He was truly one of the corruptors.
The Stories (28:39)
وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُونَ ٣٩
And so he and his soldiers behaved arrogantly in the land with no right, thinking they would never be returned to Us.
✨ *Essence of Wisdom*
🔹 *Those who feel they are supreme tend to oppress others*
🔹 *The people are divided to make them easier to control*
🔹 *Authorities who join in the arrogance become part of the systemic damage*
🔹 *Feeling immune to the law is the beginning of destruction*
📌 *Pharaoh did not fall because of lack of power, but because he forgot that every power must be held accountable.*
🧠 *Life Reflections*
In everyday life, the Pharaoh pattern can appear in the following forms:
*Leaders who are anti-criticism*
*Policies that oppress the common people*
*Laws that are sharp at the bottom, blunt at the top*
*Power that is far from trust and conscience*
⚠️ *When power no longer fears Allah, then destruction is just a matter of time.*
🌱 *Moral Message*
God does not prohibit power,
but He does prohibit arrogance and oppression within that power.
💡 *Justice protects the country,
injustice digs its own grave.*
🌱 *Concluding Wisdom*
📖 *The Quran cannot possibly become outdated.*
*What often gets left behind is our intellectual and moral capacity to read and apply it fairly and civilly.*
✨ *Wallahu A'lam bish-shawab.*

🤲 *InshaAllah we will all be given courage like Prophet Moses, steadfastness like Prophet Harun, and wisdom to convey the truth without hurting humanity.*
