Peace and Love of Islam | Islam vs Terrorism

My brother is now our country is not constantly hit by bombs, from the Bali bomb 1,2, JW Mariot & Ritchcalton bomb, bomb, and the more pathetic book again, this time a suicide bombing carried out in one of the mosques of Allah in Cirebon, shortly after Friday prayer imams ihram bertakbiratul! This event hurt some innocent pilgrims mosque and causing damage to the mosque.

We really feel concerned, the entire Islamic Ummah and the Indonesian society is really concerned over this incident, we can not accept the atrocities - atrocities like this, I believe completely that there can be people who believe this will behave as alleged, let alone have killed life innocent people, must commit atrocities like this is a person who wants damages for all of us.

Difficult to understand if this is done by the Muslims who are deemed to be more understanding about Islam than most people, on behalf of FII sabiilillah jihad, Muslim solidarity, or the other. They act beyond the limits of Islamic law lay down the law at will. They assume that what they have done this will have an allotted road to martyrdom and paradise. Indeed, common sense they have been far from the truth.

Background?

If viewed in the background they are enforcing Islamic sharia in this country (Indonesia) or it can be said to change the ideology Pancasila ideology of Islam. The best goals to be achieved if used the wrong way in the sense that all the methods are the same then wash your face in the water is murky, that goal will never be achieved.

Impact?

Instead of the Islamic State objective is achieved even impact caused terror in the name of Islam is very large, in addition to the lives of innocent people drift and the damage that made the impact that we can feel themselves in community life, where-where a group of people who do study-recitation suspected terrorist groups, then see a bearded man mistaken for extremists and their parents no longer want to enter their children to boarding schools because fear is going to be terrorists. So grow the disease phobia in the community to nuasa islam, This is something very ironic when the people of Islam, but with the nuances of Islamic paranoia itself.

The Word and Hadith against Terrorism:

1. Terror is an act beyond the limit because of the number of deaths and extent of damage caused.

Allah says:

".. and do not transgress limits, for Allah loveth not the transgressors "(Surah al-Baqarah: 190)

2. This is clearly obvious act of suicide because the perpetrators know for sure that he would die in action.

Allah says:

"And do not kill yourselves, surely Allah is Merciful to you. And whoever did so in violation of the rights and injustice, then we will be putting it in hell. That is easy for Allah "(Surah An Nisa ': 29-30)

3. As the act of killing others.

Allah says:

"And those who do not worship another god along with Allah and do not kill the soul which Allah forbidden (to kill) except with (reason) is right, and do not commit adultery, whoever did this was, surely he's got (retaliation) sin (it), (ie) will be doubled the punishment for him on the Day of Resurrection and he will be eternally in torment, in a state of humiliation. "(Surat al-Furqan: 68-69)

Prophet alaihi wasallam also said that it means:

It is not lawful shed blood of a Muslim who bears testimony that no god (which is right) but Allah and that I was the messenger of God, unless one of the three: the person who committed adultery (though he was already married), people who kill others , and the apostate to leave the congregation of the Muslims. "(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim from Ibn Mas'ud radi 'anhu)

The Prophet, upon him blessings and peace:

"Those who ensure the safety of a person and then he killed her, then I am innocent of the murder, although that was killed was an infidel." (Narrated by Bukhari in Tqikh Nasa'i and Al Kabir from Amr ibn al Hamq radi 'anhu; See Saheeh al-Jami 'no. 6103)

4. For actions that harm others (Terror)

"The Prophet 'alayhi wa salam said:

It is not lawful seorangmuslim scare tactics to another Muslim. "(Narrated by Abu Dawood and dishahihkan by Shaykh Al Albani in Saheeh Abu Dawud no. 5004)

Prophet alaihi wa sallam also said:

"Those who bring weapons to fight us, then he is not from us .." (Narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurairah and Ibn 'Umar radi' anhuma).

Prophet alaihi wa sallam also said:

"If any one of you passes in mosques or markets carrying arrows, then he should hold it on its end with the palm of his hand so as not to injure one of the Muslims .." (Mutafaqun 'alaih)

5. Threats And adzab For Actors:

Allah says:

"Whoever kills a mu'ahad (non-Muslims who mendapa security guarantees), then he would not smell it heaven, but heaven smell wafted from the travel distance of 40 years." (Bukhari from Abdullah bin 'Amr)

So should not disturb those unbelievers who are guaranteed safety with any problems, let alone killed as terror terror that has taken place. Even the perpetrators threatened will not enter paradise. We take refuge in Allah from such humiliation.

If the penalty for the murder of infidels is so heavy, especially the law of murder against the Muslims.

Consider the word of God:

"And whoever kills a Mu'min is deliberately then thanked Jahannam, he was in it and the eternal wrath of God to him, and curse as well as providing great punishment for him" (Surat An Nisaa: 93)

With so many arguments relating to the problem of terrorism and the like as mentioned above, and such acts of terror are the result of misguided thinking attitude and the perpetrators are challenging the wrath of God. This action is an abuse. Crime and deviation from Islamic teachings are straight, even has its clear prohibition and he included in a major sin.

Attitudes and the thing we can do?

Now our task, especially as a Muslim is to learn and convey the true Islam. High menjungjung Islam peace, Islam is rahmatan lilalamin, which Islam does not teach terrorism, because the Qur'an can not be partially understood but the Qur'an requires an integral and comprehensive understanding.

Al-Qu'ran commands to Moses and his brother harun to say soft and polite even if the weight of Pharaoh's enemies. This religion would be easy to dwell in the hearts and the human brain when delivered in a fair, full of patience and in a rather profound sincerity of the caller as a shadow of truth. Borrowing advice Bung Hatta, be such as sea salt, not seen but felt not like a lipstick, which is seen but not felt, so too should the Islamic ummah today.

Remember the word aa 'gym (3M):

1. Start with yourself

2. Start from small things

3. Start from this moment

May God Hold the heavens and the earth, opening the door of our hearts are all in order to understand the wisdom behind any events that happened and may Allah guide us to be able to respond to any incident with our best attitude.

Wallahu A’lam Bish-shawab

Achieving Happiness With Islam

Praise be to Allah the Almighty, who always wanted happiness of His servants, to be free from the bondage of personal passions, love of the world slavery, or any kind of slavery that will rob the glory and happiness. The only way to master the right to govern and regulate themselves is by becoming a servant of Allah alone.

Hopefully shed blessings and greetings to the king of the Prophet. whose life is really free from slavery of any kind, other than a noble servant of Allah alone.

Dear brothers and sisters, what a sad and poignant look at the people who colonized and robbed of its independence. Regulated and governed solely to follow the tastes colonize. There is no peace, no ideals, no happiness, and no bright future.

We also witnessed our country that once colonized by the Dutch 350 years old, followed by Japanese occupation. As a result, although we have been independent now but we still slumped in the exam that seemed endless. Because even though our nation has been independent, it turns out most of the leaders and their people - and perhaps including us - are still occupied by another form of colonialism, which make our lives unhappy, not independent and are not noble.

This meeting will hopefully take us to realize how important it is to free ourselves from the shackles that will destroy our dignity as human beings noble, because colonized by something other than Allah.

Independent living are:

1. Not Tortured by Number of Desire

Having the desire is something very human, even human progress and achievement because of the desire. But if the desire to live enslaved until deprived of happiness, worship, time, thought, effort, cost and even just to serve our desires, and desires are clearly not bring benefits to the glory of the world and the hereafter, it means that we are already colonized by desire.

Consider the people who were tortured by the desire to have stately homes, new cars, which are always trendy appearance, his days are truly the days of the colonized. Not worthy of our life is mortgaged to serve every whim.

We must always think clearly. The desire to be our desire fulfilled is favored by Allah, that desire could be a field of our good works and provision to return us to the netherworld. Therefore our struggle will become worship. Can or not what we want, InsyaAllah, remain a charity and kindness can be a stock return of value.

Align allallah fa Fadiza'azamta resignation intentions, perfected effort, and put thy trust because trust that is the essence desire. The best according to us is not necessarily good by Allah. Vice versa, we are not necessarily bad by bad according to Allah.

"Waasaantakrahu syaiawwahuwa khairullakum waasyaantuhibbuu syaiawwahuwa syarrullakum wallahu ya'lamu waantum lata'lamun" It may be that you hate something, but it is very good for you, and may be (too) ye love a thing, but it is very bad for you, Allah knows, and you do not know "(Surat al-Baqara 216). In other words, please have the desire but make sure it will be an introduction to the straight path and endeavor in Allah's way and give it to Allah what is best according to Allah alone. InsyaAllah, we will be free from suffering tortured by desire.

2. Freedom from Slavery Lust

Lust is part of Allah's gift that complements our lives to be happy even noble. However, the passion must be controlled. We see people who are enslaved lust, the days just think of disobedience. Planning plan sinner.

In fact, we see there are people who smear themselves with a very low act as enslaved by lust. He committed adultery and rape, thus destroying the values ​​that exist in themselves and also to destroy other people, solely because it enslaved by lust. And if we're straight on the path of Allah then we will get the reward of every activity we do.

Similarly, people who were enslaved lust anger, his mind full of cruelty, revenge burning, said the anger management, a vile and despicable act, and certainly he will never favored by others, so that his days full of tension, na'uzubillahi minzalik .

Therefore, beware of anyone that does not mean it to train yourself to control your anger, it will run out of life because it was colonized by the passion of anger.

O my friend is good, life is never happy and noble for the people who colonized by anger. We must strive earnestly to train yourself to be someone who can control the anger, train yourself to not easily offended, easily train yourself to forgive and understand the situation of others, even if you can train ourselves to respond with kindness to people who make mistakes do evil to us. If kitaterkendali from lust anger and lust, insya Allah, this life is more mild and dignified.

3. Not enslaved Asmara

One of which beautify and adorn our lives is love. But we see there are people who cursed their parents, even falling into the valley of insult in despicable acts precisely because of love - of love that make the blind can not see the truth.

Beware brother, fall in love is like entering a whirlpool, if not careful the more love the handcuff, the drift, reduced sense of shame, and the burning desire that eventually afflict the world hereafter, except love in the way of Allah.

Falling in love is like entering chicken to room, will be difficult to throw. Even if the hard drive, then the room will be messy. That the people who hit romance and not really take care of myself.

Therefore, stay away from the romance that is not liked and not in the way of Allah. Have a genuine love for Allah the way he actually arranged in enforcing any religion. Believe me, the signs given by Allah will make us not fooled by the love that seems beautiful but can be misleading, na'uzubillahi minzalik. Seek refuge in Allah that we should not be enslaved by love blindly.

4. Honest People

My brother, every time you lie the lie it would be a prison for us. We will always wary, fearing known lie (lie) which requires us to do our subsequent lies. And it was certainly a lie will become the new prison. So less is more for people who lie, lie or be dishonest in any way.

Therefore not be independent people who do not keep themselves from lies and dishonesty. Make sure we are honest people who enjoy life. The fewer secrets of the more independent life. More and knows no lies, the less threatened this self. Nothing makes us afraid to be known disgrace and deceit by others because we do not hide anything.

We'd better set aside because we are honest than we received because of lying, it means that over time we will be full of tension. Congratulations to the brothers who fought berbahagi be trusted as an honest person that's owned by people who are independent and honest.

5. People who tawadhu

Humility is the key to happiness. The more we want to be appreciated, the more want to be respected, the more to be complimented, increasingly want to be treated better, the more miserable life, because we increasingly need to others. Yet another person may not be in accordance with our wishes.

People who are humble, his mind is actually like to see other people have more right to be appreciated, more entitled to be respected, and not see other people lower than him. Tawadhu will never degrade, even in return will raise the degree of a person.

As warranted by the Holy Prophet, "Wa maa ra illa tawaadla'a ahadun lillahi fa'ahullah" And someone who is always humble themselves for Allah, surely Allah will raise in rank. "(HR.Muslim). It is a dream we are happy if we became a proud and arrogant. Happiness and freedom belongs to people who are humble.

6. People who Ikhlas

Ikhlas is the key to independence liver. The people whose lives greedy ria will compliment would be a fashion victim and victim age. But people who sincerely do not bother with human assessment. What he think is always thinking of the best, and satisfied with the assessment of Allah the Most Near and abundant reward from Allah and did not disappoint.

O good brother, let us enjoy a person who is not affected by the commendable desire of others. Praise people just for our deceit, temptation which makes us often deceive ourselves when we are not worthy of praise. But the praise of Allah will save us the world hereafter. Because Allah is holding each fortune, position, glory, even the delicious world of the hereafter. For what we are praised creatures will perish. Better to indulge want to praise Allah, that's what makes us free in this life

7. People who Trust

More and more dependent on something then we will be afraid of losing something. As one who leaned back in his chair seats will be afraid to take. But dependence on Allah, because that's what will satisfy Allah hold everything we need. Allah knows our problems, Allah is aware of any way out of our difficulties, and Allah is the power over everything.

"Wamayyattakillah yajj'allahumakhraja Wayarzukhuminhaytsu laayahtasib Wamayyatawakkal 'allallah fahuwa hasbuh" Whoever is pious to Allah, He will hold for him a way out. And give him sustenance from the direction of the never suspected-but thought. And those who put their trust in Allah and Allah will suffice (needs). (Surah Ath THALAQ; 2-3)

Dear My friends, what do we rely on human beings. The creature is weak there is no power and can not benefit us without the permission of Allah, and also can not give any harm. While joining the jinn and mankind will do anything to us will not cause harm to us without the permission of Allah

Let us satisfy ourselves, our effort, and trust us. The amount of effort not to steal the hearts of resignation to Allah. Confident in Allah should never reduce our effort, that people will enjoy freedom in this life. Ruqyah so noble and wonderful if every behavior can be pious charity which became the world's stock of happiness and a lunch encounter with Allah Azzawajalla.

Once independence remain independent. Once a servant of Allah for ever just to serve Allah. Wallahua'lam.

Islam is the Religion of Civilization

The involvement of religion in the social sphere into an interesting issue to scrutiny lately. The emergence of the perception that social reality is no longer humanist, kemungkaran happens everywhere, among others kill each other, as well as suicide, is the impact of the existence of people who no longer have the spirit of faith. Also, religious rituals only used as a formal thing. In turn, the human race apart and deny divorced nature as a people in one (ummah Wahidah).

Prophet Muhammad once said: There will come a time when the human being God-God is their belly, they are the mecca of sex, their religion is money, their glory is wealth. No remains of the faith except his name, but nothing remains of Islam except the ceremony. Their mosques crowded but their hearts are empty of clues. They do not know the scholars except from good clerical clothes. They do not know the Koran unless readings are nice, they sit down meeting at the mosque but Dhikr world and her passion for the world (Book of Al-Jami Akhoar).

A reflection on the above hadith may make us uneasy, to be precise if it was based on the current social reality virtually confirmed what was contained in it. However, it is probably less appropriate if the social reality depicted in the hadith is regarded as something given. Indeed many people who believe that religious believers (Muslims) are no longer prioritize ukhrawi affairs, because they are more busy with worldly matters. In fact, ukhrawi affairs does not necessarily abandon worldly affairs. This synergy is confirmed in the Qur'an.

Surprisingly, when all the events of humanity is always correlated to the text of the hadith and the Qur'an, this is in Islamic theology as a theology called Asyariyah-Jabbariyah, where everything that happens on earth is determined by God since the time eternal. Indeed, the above hadith does not become a tool of legitimacy of the condition of the people who have lost the spirit of implicit faith. However, more than that, the causes of the decline (asbabul wurud) hadith must also be assessed clearly and comprehensively. However, socially and culturally, the people of today are different from when it was delivered by the Prophet's hadiths. So the less relevant if the hadith is becoming a dominant and a justification tool for the reality of Muslims today, without any attempt to contextualize the message text.

Actually, the problem that befell Muslims today is part of their lack of substance of religious teachings. Tragically, when the religious text used as the only foothold in dealing with problems of humanity, in the end be a moment of transcendental ritual-effective to combat social injustice.

Borrowing a term Robert N Bellah, religion really is the way humans understand the world. While Clifford Geertz defines religion as a system of symbols that serve to build a strong mood and motivation, pervasive, and durable in human beings by way of formulating a general conception of the order of life and conceptions wrap it with an aura of factuality, so the mood and motivation seem uniquely realistic.

The conception of religion was put on a very urgent position and has a significant role in the socio-political life and human culture. Wherever and whenever, the presence of religion into something integral in building the human civilization. Frank Whalling further when trying to define religion, stating that a community of faith, can be called a religion when they have eight basic elements in it. One is the involvement in socio-political life (involvemen in social and political contexts.) Whalling even mention that Islam is a religion of social-political involvement of the highest. This expression is not merely come from outside Islam. Farid Esack, a liberal Islamic thinker, believe it.

Presenting Islam as a religion of civilization becomes absolute. Thus, the aura of greatness of Islam will not wilt until whenever. This will happen when Muslims do not co-opted and hegemony by the text of the Koran are rigid, since the text is not the only dominant in the search for truth as revealed by Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd. Farid Esack in the Qur'an Liberation and Pluralism, an offer to Muslims today to do the reinterpretation of religious terms that have undergone standardization.

With standardization, it would be difficult to create justice. Precisely what happens is, the term it will become the new hegemony of a community tool for other communities. Islam, faith, and kufr, according to Esack, is the term most prone to lead to inequality, social conflict and even, if not understood dynamically. As a final note, the author wants to underline that the condition of the Ummah today is not the curse of God or swept up in the words of the Prophet, as shown in secacar textual traditions of the Prophet it, but to borrow a phrase Munir Mulkhan this reality became a part of human life in the process became an Islamic.
