Beef Trade: The Gift & The Be Disaster

Material writing this time inspired by a trip to market cattle in Jonggol which is open every Thursday. Beef is one of the 'merchandise' that we see could be a potential for people not able to prosper in the coastal town where the land and raw food is still relatively available.
 
Cows are also our chosen because the prediction is simple and easy to control. For example, cows in the next picture in this morning at the market Jonggol priced between Rp 6 million - USD 7 million; Eight months when the cows were sold in the metropolitan qurban animal market price will be in the range of USD 12 million - USD 15 million: Cost of maintenance, transportation until the sale is estimated to cost USD $ 3 million - USD 4 million, still leaving the USD 3 million - USD 4 million or a net investment return of 50% - 57% in 8 months. Still much better than the deposit is not it?.
 
Another example is a cow that is in the photo below. Cows are bought from the market three months ago Jonggol also by the father of my acquaintance Haji worth USD 14 million. Eight months when the cows were sold for sacrifice - the father of Hajj, which has decades of dealing with this cow - hopes to sell USD 36 million, because of its weight when it is estimated will reach more than 1 ton. 157% gross profit after deducting the cost of feed etc. 57% - still leaves a net gain of 100%. No wonder this Hajj has above-average prosperity, because of his stable in South Jakarta number there are 40 head of cattle!.
 
But an enticing advantage of this blessing and God willing, not necessarily attract people to follow him. Perhaps because the cow business is viewed as a dirty business in the literal sense - yes definitely because it involves dirty cow dung every day! Although physically dirty, but the provision resulting from a real horse-trading like this that really deserves to find.
 
On the other hand are now millions of people in Indonesia are more affected by the new craze - 'horse-trading' as well - but 'horse-trading' that have been given another meaning. 'Trade sapi' his wealthy people who sold cattle but can not be chair, office or the voice of the people.
 

Although physically clean their business - because it is the lobby where the luxury hotels or the buildings 'respectable institution' - a Shari'a their business is very disgraceful.
 
Prophet Muhammad-had to threaten them with at least two of the following hadith:
 
From Abu Ya'la, Ma'qil bin Yasra RA, he said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah SAW said:" Every servant who is empowered by God to the people, then at the time he died deceive them, then God had not forbidden him to heaven "." HR Muttafaq Alaih.
 
From Abu Maryam al-Azdi RA ": in fact he said to Muawiyah RA:" I heard the Messenger of Allah SAW said: "He who is empowered by God to take care of some of the affairs of the Muslims, then did not meet her needs, and do not overcome their poverty, then God will not meet the needs of the indigent and to her on the Day of Resurrection ", then Muawiyah raised a man who meets their needs." HR. abu Dawud and Tirmidhi.
 
How many rich people now who sell the promise of prosperity to the people most like us-us; so that they we choose. However, after we choose, arbitrarily they 'politick' with a mandate that we give them. Our needs and our poverty - which promised to overcome - no longer of concern to them after they are elected.
 
So from the two types of horse-trading of the above, if given the choice I would select the first horse-trading - let dirty physically, but God willing more blessings.
 
For a second, I will only choose when to get a leader who if really trust and competent in their field - if we doubt the trust of her or his competence, but we choose too, so I am really worried it plunges our brothers that candidate The leaders promised to hell as the two hadith mentioned above - Wallahu A’lam bi Showab.
