DIA TIDAK ISLAM,BUKANKAH DIA JUGA MANUSIA?



Dalam era globalisasi ini, umat Islam tidak hanya hidup dan bergaul dengan orang Islam sahaja, bahkan mereka bergaul dan berkomunikasi dengan yang bukan Islam dari pelbagai bangsa, agama, dan budaya.
Antara mereka, ada yang mempunyai persamaan bangsa, budaya, rupa kulit, dan cara komunikasi yang berkongsi dengan umat Islam. Mereka ini adalah saling bersaudara atas nama “Manusia”. Semua manusia perlu beribadah kepada Allah Taala, semua manusia berasal dari Nabi Adam as, inilah apa yang disebutkan oleh Nabi saw ketika baginda berkhutbah dalam Haji Perpisahan.
“..Wahai umat Manusia, sesungguhnya Tuhan kalian adalah satu, dan bapa kamu juga satu. Ketahuilah, tidak ada kelebihan bagi orang arab atas orang yang bukan arab, dan orang yang bukan arab atas orang arab, tidak juga bagi orang (berkulit) hitam atas orang yang (berkulit) merah, dan tidak juga orang (berkulit) merah atas orang (berkulit) hitam melainkan ketaqwaan kepada Allah swt...”
[Hadis Riwayat Ahmad]
Sekalipun orang yang mendengar ucapan Rasulullah saw di atas kesemuanya adalah orang Islam, tetapi ia ditujukan kepada seluruh manusia sama ada Islam mahupun kafir. Manusia keseluruhannya bertuihankan Allah yang satu, berasal dari ayah yang sama, dan tiada kelebihan bagi mana-mana manusia pun melainkan hanya atas ketaqwaan. Hadis ini bertepatan dengan Firman Allah swt yang sering disebut-sebutkan oleh para ustaz dan ustazah disekolah, universiti, Tv, Radio dan sebagainya. Ia juga menjadi nukilan dan buah modal buat para daie sepanjang zaman. Firman Allah Taala:
“Wahai umat manusia, sesungguhnya Kami telah menciptakan kamu dari lelaki dan perempuan, dan Kami telah menjadikan kamu berbagai bangsa dan bersuku puak, supaya kamu berkenal-kenalan (dan beramah mesra antara satu dengan yang lain). Sesungguhnya semulia-mulia kamu disisi Allah ialah orang yang lebih taqwanya di antara kamu, (bukan yang lebih berketurunan atau bangsanya)..”
[Al-Hujuraat: 13]
Begitu juga, ucapan Nabi saw pada hari tersebut dikuatkan lagi dengan ayat Al-Quran berikut, yang menghubungkan ikatan manusia antara satu sama lain. Firman Allah Taala:
“Wahai sekelian manusia! Bertaqwalah kepada Tuhan kamu yang telah menjadikan kamu (bermula) dari diri yang satu (Adam), dan yang menjadikan daripadanya (Adam) itu pasangannya (isterinya- Hawa), dan juga yang membiakkan dari keduanya –zuriat keturunan- lelaki dan perempuan yang ramai. Dan bertaqwalah kepada Allah yang kamu selalu meminta dengan menyebut-nyebut namaNya, serta peliharalah hubungan rahim kerana sesungguhnya Allah sentiasa memerhati (mengawasi) kamu.
[An-Nisaa`: 1]
Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi berkomentar tentang ayat ini :
“...adalah lebih layak kalimah (الأرحام) dalam ayat ini adalah : ia meliputi –pada apa yang sesuai- hubungan rahim antara sesama manusia yang terikat antara sesama manusia..”
Dalam dunia ini, bukan hanya wujud ikatan persaudaraan antara sesama agama sahaja, tetapi terdapat juga ikatan ukhuwah antara sesama bangsa, kaum dan puak yang tidak pernah ditegah oleh Islam. Bahkan Islam mengiktirafnya berdasarkan ayat-ayat al-Quran yang telah lalu. Namun demikian, tidak dinafikan bahawa ikatan persaudaraan atas nama agama itu adalah lebih mendalam dan lebih kuat.
Jika kita menghayati ayat-ayat al-Quran, kita akan dapati begitu banyak petunjuk wahyu menunjukkan pengiktiran Islam terhadap persaudaraan kaum dan bangsa.
1-       Persaudaraan Nabi Nuh as dan kaumnya, sekalipun mereka tidak Islam.
“Kaum Nabi Nuh telah mendustakan Rasul-rasul (yang diutus kepada mereka). Tatkala saudara mereka – Nabi Nuh, berkata kepada mereka : “Hendaklah kamu mematuhi suruhan Allah dan menjauhi laranganNya. Sesungguhnya aku ini ialah Rasul yang amanah, (yang diutuskan oleh Allah) kepada kamu.”
[Asy-Syu`araa`: 105-107]
Kaum Nabi Nuh as mereka tidak Islam, bahkan mereka tidak mengiktiraf Nabi Nuh as, namun Al-Quran tetap menyatakan bahawa mereka adalah saudara Nabi Nuh as. Tidak syak lagi, ia adalah persaudaraan antara kaum. Nabi Nuh as sebahagian dari mereka, dan mereka sebahagian dari Nabi Nuh as.
2-       Persaudaraan Nabi Hud as dan Kaum `Aad.
[Asy-Syu`araa`: 123-124]

3-      Persaudaraan Nabi Salih as dan Kaum Thamud.
“Kaum Thamud telah mendustakan Rasul-rasul (yang diutuskan kepada mereka). Tatkala saudara mereka – Nabi Salih, berkata kepada mereka: “Hendaklah kamu mematuhi perintah Allah dan menjauhi laranganNya.”
[Asy-Syu`araa`: 141-142]
4-      Persaudaraan Nabi Lut as dan kaumnya.
“Kaum Nabi Lut telah mendustakan Rasul-rasul (yang diutuskan kepada mereka). Tatkala saudara mereka – Nabi Lut, berkata kepada mereka: “Hendaklah kamu mematuhi perintah Allah dan menjauhi laranganNya.”
[Asy-Syu`araa`: 160-161]
5-      Persaudaraan Nabi Syu`aib as dan Penduduk Negeri Madyan.
“Dan kepada penduduk Madyan (Kamu utuskan) saudara mereka Nabi Syu`aib. Ia berkata: “Wahai kaumku, Sembahlah kamu akan Allah, (sebenarnya) tiada Tuhan bagi kamu selain daripadaNya..”
[Al-A`raaf: 85]
Justeru, setelah kita memahami akan wujudnya persaudaraan lain selain persaudaraan agama, maka hendaklah kita saling berdekatan antara satu sama lain, dan menghilangkan jurang antara umat Islam dan bukan Islam sehingga ia tidak menjadi modal buat orang yang berhati jahat untuk menyebarkan fitnah permusuhan.
Setiap kita (sama ada Islam atau bukan Islam) hendaklah saling bantu membantu antara satu sama lain sebagai rakyat dalam negara, pekerja dalam syarikat, dan anggota dalam organisasi.
Para daie hendaklah menjadi tokoh dan teladan dalam perkara ini. Hendaklah para daie menghilangkan bau-bauan perkauman yang membangkitkan permusuhan, pertelingkahan antara agama yang merosakkan, kerana semua itu hanyalah kerugian pada Ummah.
Realiti sekarang, Umat Islam memasuki dunia berpolitik. Maka akan wujud individu dan kumpulan yang mempunyai persamaan politik dan pemikiran. Namun semua itu perlulah dikawal dan dijaga sehingga ia tidak melampaui had batasan kasih sayang sesama manusia.

SYARIAH ISLAMIAH


Nowadays in our life, there a lots of issues or problems occurred, either it is regarding to the immoral conducts of adults or children. The most critical problems happened as relating to the social problems. As we can see nowadays, there are lots of cases which related to the social problem such as baby dumping, sexual intercourse between unmarried couple, rape and like. This happened because of the unawareness of responsible persons. Here a responsible person does not mean only the responsibility of government, family members and friends but it is also the responsible of ummah or society to stop or prevent these problems from happened. We have responsibilities to lead others to the right path of life as according to the Islamic way of life. As it is stated in Al-Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 30:-

"....وَإذقال ربّك للملىئكة إنّى جاعل فى الأرض خليفةَ"

In this verse, it is clearly stated that human is created to be a Khalifah in this world. The duty of Khalifah is to encourage people the way or the path of Islam and thus practice the principle of Syariah in our life. Khalifah is similar to da'ie. The words da'ie, mad'u and da'wah seem to be similar to us but what is the meaning of these terms? Here, da'ie means a person who has practiced da'wah and who invite people to faith, prayer or Islamic life. People who are being invited and promoted to faith is called mad'u. Da'wah means "issuing the summons" and "making an invitation". Da'wah activities can take in many forms either orally, verbally or through action of the da'ie. In our modern area, there are lots of ways to communicate between people such as by using television, radio, internet and so on. These kind of communications is not wrong as long as it is followed the right way as Islam has ordered us to practice as according to the principle of Syariah Islamiah.

The word Syariah Islamiah is always crossing in our mind but what is the meaning of it? How and when it is applied in our life? Syariah is an Arabic word means 'the way', 'the flow' and 'the straight path'. Literally, Syariah means a number of laws which are permissible by Allah to His Servants in various aspects of life for the sake of happiness in this world and also in the Hereafter. Thus, Syariah is related with Islamic Law, called as Syariah Islamiah. It is the rule that govern the lives of humanity, either to Muslim or non-Muslim. However, Syariah is more important to Muslim life as it is contained the comprehensive and complete guidance for human life in this world and the Hereafter.

Syariah Islamiah is enforced as according to the Al-Quran and Sunnah Prophet S.A.W as both contained various orders, commands and examples of right and also bad life of the previous people. Its also contained about the precious life of our Prophet S.A.W as it is the best example of life to Muslim. Syariah contained several fields of knowledge which are important for human beings to know about it. It is consisted the fields of Tauhid, Akidah, Ibadah, Akhlak and Tasawuf.

In order to lead our life into Islamic way of life, we also need to know about the purpose of this principle. The main purpose of Syariah is to achieve the objective of Maqasid Syariah. Under Maqasid Syariah, it is provided with several protections as to safeguard the interest of human life and it is for the human to protect them from being involved in situations which can destroy their life. There are five protections provided under Maqasid Syariah which are the protection of religion, self protection, protection of state of mind ('aql), protection of descendants and protection of property. These protections are related to each other as a Muslim need to protect himself and also his 'aql from the bad things in order to protect his religion which is Islam, his property and descendants. Therefore a Muslim must has courage and spirit in order to enforce Syariah in his life and acjieve the objective of Maqasid Syariah for him to be in the right path of Islamic life. Thus, his life will be in safe and in the blessing of Allah as he follows the guidance of Al-Quran and Sunnah Prophet S.A.W.

'AQEDAH ISLAMIYAH


‘Aqedah can be understood as ‘belief’.  It’s come from word عقد which means “contract”. In Islamic teaching, ‘Aqedah is someone’s belief, which believes in oneness of God, ALLAH S.W.T.

There two Syahadat (confession) that all Muslim must believe and live with:

“I bear witness that there is no other God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger”.

 These confessions are the root to Aqedah of every Muslim. Muslims must have faith in HIM, the one and worthy of all worship (Tawhid), faith in HIS Angels (Mali’ka), faith in HIS Books (kutub) send by ALLAH to HIS Messenger and Prophets (Taurat, Zabur, Injil and Quran), faith in HIS Messengers and Prophets, faith in the Day of Judgment (Qiyama) and the Resurrection Day (life after death), and faith in Destiny (fate/ Qada and Qadar). These are the six article of belief call Pillars of Iman (faith) which derives from the famous Hadith of Gabriel (Jibril). In Quran Surah al- Baqarah:

“… Whoever disbelieved in God and HIS Angels and HIS Scriptures and HIS Messenger and the Last Day, he verily wandered far astray…” [Al- Baqarah : 136].

‘Aqedah is like a tree which its root is Syariah Islamiah, which means Allah’s Laws. Which the fruits is our ‘amal soleh (good deeds), which its fertilizers with Iman and Taqwa (God fearing) to Him.

Faith (IMAN)
Islam means Obedience to God, fully surrender and submit our self to HIM. Iman can lead us to the only one path to good life in the world and also to succeed in the life which begins after death. As a Muslim, we have not only to accept the existence of God, but we must accept what follows from our belief in God, namely:
1.      ALLAH is one. There is no like HIM, nor can there ever be. He has no shape, nor can He assume any shape.

2.      ALLAH is neither a son nor a father. He does not have wife, nor sister, nor brother nor does He beling to any community or family. Nothing can be compared with ALLAH.
In Quran;

“Say, He is ALLAH, the only one; to Him all creatures depend on; He got no son nor He is begotten; and no one comparable to Him”. [Al- Ikhlas: 1-4]

3.      The attributes of ALLAH cannot be found in anyone else. He is the creator of all.

4.      ALLAH knows the unseen. He knows everything whether it si obvious or hidden. Whatever has happened before or what will happen later on, only Him who knows the past and the future.


5.      He has full control over loss and gain. None can harm or benefit anyone accept ALLAH. In Al- Baqarah:

“Allah, there is no God but Him, who Living Eternal, who manage his creatures; he who is never sleepy nor sleep. He is all that is in heaven and on earth. Can intercede in the side of Him without His permission? He is the all knows what is before them and behind them, and they do not know anything of His knowledge save in what He wills…” [Al Baqarah: 255].

6.      It is only Allah who can make laws for us, and hence we should obey Him.



  

AKHLAQ ISLAMIYAH


Salam, first of all, when talking about Akhlaq, we cannot escape from discussing about the definition of Akhlaq

What is Akhlaq?
Akhlaq is an Arabic term referring to the practice of virtue, morality and manner in Islamic theology and philosophy. It is commonly translated in English dictionaries as disposition, nature, temper, ethics, moral or characters of a person. Akhlaq is a plural form of the word khuluq which means character, inner disposition of the soul or the spiritual constitution of man. According to Imam Al-Ghazali, "character is an established condition of the inner soul, from which actions proceed easily without any need for reflection or deliberation."

The good example of a person who have a good akhlaq is our Prophet Muhammad. Someone asked Aishah about the Prophet Muhammad, she replied "his character is Al-Quran."

Abu Hurairah narrated that Prophet Muhammad has said "Indeed I have been sent to complete the best of character (akhlaq)"

Anas, the brother of Abu Dharr is narrated as saying, " I saw him ( the Prophet ), he would enjoin the people to good character and conduct"

The Prophet also said, "the most complete of believers in iman (faith) are those who are best in character"

Therefore, we as a Muslim should behave with the best akhlaq and take our Prophet Muhammad as the role model.

Why should we have good Akhlaq?
In Islam, there is a lot of emphasis placed on good akhlaq. Why is this so? Why should we behave well and respect others? What is the reason?

This can be explained as, when Allah created the human being, He created it in two parts. One part is known as outer self (Physical, Body) and the other part is known as inner self (Nafs, Soul).

Our body is such that it needs looking after, we have to feed it and keep it warm, otherwise we will become ill and suffer. Similarly, our soul, known as Nafs, also need looking after, otherwise it also will become ill. The way to look after this soul is to listen, to think, to respect, to help. When we help someone, we feel happy, but it is not the physical body that feels happy instead it is our Nafs. Hence Akhlaq in Islam is food for the soul, and we feed it regularly, it will remain happy and healthy.

How to have good Akhlaq?
The human soul is in need of developing educationally in order to become characterised by the best of morals and refrain from evil doings. This can be achieved by teaching ourselves the following points:


  • Following the footsteps and copying the examples of our Prophet Muhammad. Take him as our role model in life. Look how he behave in all aspects of his life. The way he treat his family, the way he act as a leader, his akhlaq among the society and so on. Studying the biography and considering all aspects of virtues behaviour are essential ways of being led on the right path.
  • Practice makes perfect and we should practice conducting ourselves with the best of morals like truth, courage, generosity, mercy, benevolence and forgiveness. Whoever repeatedly does good deeds and behaves in a principled manner, such conduct will undoubtedly become habitual.
  • Choose your friend carefully. Be friend with someone who have good akhlaq. Avoiding people characterised by bad manners and not making friend with them because not mixing with such people removes the danger of being misled and should also discourage their unprincipled behaviour. 
  • Lastly we should ask forgiveness from Allah in case of committing sins or doing evil deeds and should regret and repent for such actions. This can be done through reprimanding ourselves and feeling that such action is bad and should not be repeated.

In conclusion, remember, good manners surely indicate the goodness of the upright human soul while bad manner indicates that the soul of that man is evil and wicked. A good human soul is like a sweet flower from which fragrant perfume is emitted. Conversely, one which is wicked can be likened to a poisonous smell that harms people.

Allah bids us towards the best morals and will reward us accordingly on the Resurrection Day and also forbids us against bad morals for which He will duly punish us. Bad morals cause the destruction of society and the spread of corruption.

The man with good morals is considered the foundation on which the structure of a sound Islamic society is built, and is among the causes of giving strength to Muslims. But if Muslim communities lose their good morals of justice, mercy and benevolence, they will be destroyed, and all the scientific progress and abundance of wealth can not prevent it. When moral principles are abandoned, the quality of life is distrupted and led astray.

Thus we see war, gross injustice and rising crime spreading in immoral societies. Vices like lying, selfishness, greed, deceit and hypocrisy fester in the same way as germs destroy the human body. The onus is on all Muslims to ensure good morals which are preserved by way of self-education and practising exemplary behaviour.

CURRENT ISSUE : FACEBOOK AS A MEDIUM OF DAKWAH


Life is like a battle field. In this battle, as long as it is in line with the syariat of Allah, He will shows the right path and lighten the burden of His servant in order to face the challenge that has already designed for them. In this digital era, Allah sent down an intuition towards His servants in terms of technology such as information technology- Facebook as one of the medium to spread the da’wah.

Facebook users in Malaysia now nearly hits 12 million users while for internet user, it scores 69.91 %. Socialbakers.com reports recently Malaysia is in the 17th rank for the largest number of Facebook user. The report shows 53% of the users are male while 47% is female user and most of the users are teenagers and also adults. More than 25 million users from all over the world are recognized as active members for Facebook and most of them spend around 19 minutes per day for social networking. This fact proves the vital role of digital information technology in spreading the da’wah.

Utilizing the influence of Facebook as one of social networking web that has the largest number of users in the world, has lead to the downfall of Ali Zainal Abidin regime in Tunisia, Husni Mubarak in Egypt and Muammar Ghadaffi in Libya. Now Facebook triggers the same phenomenon in Syria, splendor the rising of the citizen who has been suppressed by the regime for years.

We must view Facebook as one of the best medium to spread the information to all mankind without denying the fact that some people failed to use Facebook for the benefit of mankind. It is either they are illiterate when it comes to information technology, or that they deal with the technology with wickedness in heart instead of with revelation and a sound mind.

In this new era of globalization, Facebook is the best medium to spread the beauty of Islam to constitute the role of talk-based method as the main medium. Consequently, we couldn’t stress more on the necessity of every Muslims as the preachers of Islam to adapt themselves to this technology era, and to utilize it to the fullest.

Create and own a Facebook account, and activate it with true knowledge and precise information. Avoid slender and curse words, instead put forward facts and figures, as well as simple and clear debate. Mastering the language of the world’s youth will make the process of guiding them easier, along with accurate knowledge and information, provided it is based on the guidance revealed by Rabbul Izzati.

Acknowledging this significant and crucial development, we therefore enlist Islamic scholars and their colleagues at the top in the list of people who are obliged to be the activist of Facebook, as consistent and wise users. Guide these youngsters to achieve their dreams through the right way, and that this change does not go against Islamic ethics limitations.

Thus, let us start with instilling intention of doing this because of Allah, Basmallah, and join this useful medium. Let us practice patients in handling every hassle and be strong in dealing with whatever challenges that will inevitably come along the way of victory and glory. 

CURRENT ISSUE : BABY DUMPING


Children are priceless gift from Allah SWT. Allah gives them right to live and their parents being responsible to grow them up and tarbiyyah them. However, people nowadays ignore their responsibility towards their children and more worst lead to social problems.  Lately, babies dumping happen almost everyday. Refer to cases that had been reported the cases had already achieved average of thousands per year. This problem has become as a major issue in Malaysia. As community in Malaysia, we should give concern about this matter. Why could this happen?  Who is to be responsible to overcome this problem?

What is actually baby dumping.  It is the situation when a person who left this priceless gift, discarding or leaving them alone, for an extended period of time. Baby dumping basically involved a child younger than 12 months of age. They were discarded and left in a public or private setting with intention to dispose the child.

Mostly, among teenagers seems to be always involved in this crime. Free lifestyle could lead them to astray in this social problem. Teenage parents give birth in a motel and leave the child for dead in a dumpster. Giving birth in a school bathroom and thrown the baby into garbage or in the toilet. These kinds of story which is continuously happen proved that this is one of the most frightening realities or our culture today. Children are viewed as problems to be thrown and burden to their parents rather than accept them as a gift to be treasured.

Another factor is the family break-up. Family break-ups happen after a long period of misunderstandings, fighting and unhappiness. Sometimes they happen suddenly and it is hard to understand why there needs to be change at all. Children are mostly affected by this kind of situation. If both their mother and father decided to a divorce and one cannot raise their child alone, tendency is that they will dump their child.

Poverty is also another factor that causes child dumping. Persons in cultures with poor social welfare systems who are not financially capable of taking care of a child are more likely to dump him/her. Political conditions, such as difficulty in adoption proceedings, may also contribute to child dumping, as can the lack of institutions, such as orphanages, to take in children whom their parents cannot support. Societies with strong social structures and liberal adoption laws tend to have lower rates of child dumping.

Every hardship has its solution. This problem must be prevented from its root. It must be begin with the family institution. I think that the parents should take it serious in order to prevent our generation from this social ill. Baby dumping could be avoided if their children have awareness about the consequences of social ill. It can bring them to do whatever that will ruin their future such as baby dumping and so on.

The government also should responsible to overcome this matter. The government should use their authority to introduce true Islam to the people especially to the Muslim youth. They must be exposed more about halal, haram, good and sin. Our Ulama must take this responsibility to explain to the community about Islam, its beauty and also its rules.

Hence, we could solve this social problem if we emphasis religious teaching from the earlier age as an effort. Also cultivation of true understanding of Islam can save our generation from baby dumping and other social ill.
