"Background Of Isra 'Miraj'

In sirah Nabawiyah mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad left to die by two men; Khadija-radi 'anha, and Abu Talib. In fact, during these two men have played a major role for the propagation Islamiyah.

1. Khadija Umm al-radi Faithful 'anha-, as mentioned in a hadith, is:
- Women and even the first man to believe in Prophet Muhammad.
- A believer who sacrificed his entire estate to proselytizing, and
- A wife, from whom the Prophet Muhammad had children (offspring).

2. Abu Talib, though not believed, however, given its position as the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad, he has defended the Prophet Muhammad with the very unusual.
However, in the year, both passed away, then he SAW is very sad, and hence, the year it was called 'Amul huzni (in grief). Sadness is more complete, when the Prophet Muhammad tried to open the lines of a new mission, Ta'if. Who knows, Ta'if a cool, cool, green, has a major influence on its citizens, so their attitudes may be cool and fresh in his da'wah receiving SAW. Unlike Mecca (it was) a tough, all covered with stones, so the "fossilized" their attitude toward propaganda. However, instead of the arrival of the Prophet in Ta'if welcomed, but instead disambit.

Long story short, on the way back to Mecca, there are three events:

1. Prophet Muhammad met a man named Fennel, from Nainuwa, home of the prophet Jonah, the United States. During the meeting, Fennel states to Islam. It is as if saying to the Prophet Muhammad: "Do not grieve, O Muhammad, when the Meccans, the Arabs do not want to believe, do not be sad, here the evidence, people want to believe Nainuwa".

2. Prophet Muhammad met with a group of jinn, and when read the Qur'an to them, they expressed faith. This seemed to give the message to the Prophet Muhammad: "Even if all human beings do not want to believe, nor thou, O Muhammad SAW peru sad, because, the jinn have proved that they were ready to believe in you".

3. Events of Isra 'and Mi `raj. It is as if saying to the Prophet Muhammad: "In fact, even if all the inhabitants of the earth, neither man nor jinn, did not want to believe in you, O Muhammad, you do not have to be sad, because, the evidence, the skies are all bells and whistles to welcome your arrival".
From this perspective, the events of Isra 'and Mi `raj is tasliyah (solace) that is very unusual for the Prophet Muhammad.

Then what is our consolation?

Are supposed to pray, because by-by Isra 'and Mi `raj is primarily prayer, and prayer as the Prophet Muhammad made qurratu' ain and simultaneously rahah (breaks). And Allaah knows best.

"Suluk Tanzhimi the Sword of God"

At the end of the battle towards the end, came a messenger to Khalid Bin Walid. The new envoy Caliph, Umar Bin Khattab, who succeeded Abu Bakr ra ra who had died. The letter contains the dismissal of Khalid from his post as commander of the war with Abu Ubaydah ra as a substitute.

Khalid bin Walid calmly read the letter and ask the courier not to divulge the contents of the letter to anyone until the war ended. Khalid consideration at that time was worried these instructions from the Caliph of Muslims can break the concentration of troops. The battle continued until finally force the Muslims to achieve victory.

After an exhausting battle, while sweat is still moist, wounds are still not treated, the blood was still dripping on the tip of the sword. The Sword of God rushes to meet Abu Ubaydah to convey the message of his appointment as commander of his successor. The dismissal by the Caliph Umar Khalid is not at all based on dislike (like or dislike). But it is more based on firasyatul believers to save aqeedah Khalid own race and faith.
Achieved victory after victory in the battle to make his name Khalid marvelously fragrant, its popularity peaked. But this spectacular accomplishment led to the tendency of the cult of himself. Caliph Umar read this and worry about the people fall, as well as Khalid will get a great slander.
Next Khalid fought back under the control of his men as a former al-Jundi muthi'ah regardless of the status of "demotion". When confirmed the dismissal itself, he replied: "I have fought not for Omar, but because God Almighty".
Subhanallah! Piece of the story is full of meaning and full of wisdom. Tarbiyah qiyadiyah are truly extraordinary. Termination structural assignment (wazhifah tanzhimiyah) by the Caliph to the prince of war is a matter ru'yah qiyadiyah, a decision that must be addressed with obedience. Absolutely not eliminate the functional task (wazhifah mashiriyah) as a mujahid who must always be in a line of soldiers of God. This is the spirit of inspiration as well for us in the middle of the tasks we complete the mission agenda forward.

1. No Panic, Keep Being in the Awareness
For ordinary people 'dismissal' felt the earthquake, so quickly make a lot of people panic. But that does not happen to Khalid Bin Walid, but it happened when the battle was raging, which could be triggering the dark eyes, crazy even lost common sense. Strength of his leadership soul successfully manage the panic that happened to him. Whether it's men panic, or himself. Thus, all the panic that occur can be addressed properly, there are strategies and there is a solution that is quite realistic. In other words, Khalid was the leader of the "calming" and "steering" in the face of panic, not actually become more frantic than his own. He has a way to bring men into the street should be, and even tended to be willing to sacrifice for the salvation army ranks. So in panic, the soothing words will be heard. "I have fought not for Omar, but because God Almighty".

2. Not Disappointed, Still Being in Tsiqah
What is the attitude Khalid read the letter firing him? He received the dismissal is with the attitude of a warrior. Not the slightest disappointment and emotion emanating from his face. Disappointment will fuel anger, while anger is only going to drown someone in a "grave" ego that will plunge themselves in the matter. Easy emotional or temperamental attitude does not exist on Khalid Bin Walid. Khalid can master the instincts of power available to him (hubbus siyadah) and did not make his child support to him as a tool to preserve and perpetuate his post. In fact, he remained at war under new command and obey all orders of Abu Ubaydah who is now a supervisor.
For an ordinary person would have been hurt when positioned at the same position as experienced by Khalid Bin Walid. Disappointment will make a person easily provoked and the edges would act recklessly, so he will not fool yourself. Therefore, the anger fueled by disillusionment usually only be "stuck" in a puddle of bodily injury.
It is whatever we have, property, children or office, the principle is 'laysa maalikan ashilaan' we are not the original owner. Mandatory nature of the job, in a hierarchical mandate given to the person's position. It can not be prosecuted, let alone engineered by doing 'movements' illegal support or block it.

3. No Membalelo, Still Being in Tansik
Suppose the situation would be another protest at the dismissal of Khalid himself as a commander and then mobilizing his supporters for that office, as often and a lot happened this time, there will be chaos and people will disperse, resulting in fights and battles within the ranks and of course the enemy will easily hit them, and the Roman conquest was possible there would be only in imagination. It was great, the greatness of soul Khalid.
Not easy for someone to accept the fact that befall him. The dismissal is sometimes interpreted as distrust of him. Whoever we are, would want to be loved, loved, trusted, and trust others. However, when the pain comes, it's hard to forgive and to trust people again who do. It may even find it difficult to open your heart and feelings to others who do not know anything. This is a dilemma that must be faced. Finally, it's up to us, choose to walk alone or to continue a relationship after what happened. One thing is for sure, the wheels will keep spinning propaganda with or without pain.
Remain disciplined in the provision and control structure. The provision has become axiomatic that binds cadres who came together in it. That way the whole attitude of the cadre is always on the direction of the policy structure (Tansik al a'mal). No 'menyempal' alone. Because of such attitudes would result to others and tanzhim directly. Therefore those who do act like it is categorized as a disciplinary stance. It was indicated, despite being rather than a specific region mas'ul. A person is not entitled to mobilize his former Shahibul territory without coordinating with the new. This is the piety of association that is in RA Khalid.

4. No 'Silent' Still Be in Charity.
A warlord's best in his day, was at the peak career. Have to retreat in the middle of the term of office at the request of his superiors. By a reason that can not be defined by law in the present text. Then if he then angry and then absent from the war after no longer served as a commander? Or bring an action against his boss to court? Apparently not, she began to re-join the war as a common soldier without any embarrassment or hurt. How happy Khalid bin Walid. Look how easily she could hand over office to his men. The orientation of the struggle is God, not position, fame and lust satisfaction.
It was a person of strong loyalties (Quwwatul Intima'i). This is a very principled stance. Because that's where faith prestice formed into a strong building in heart of a believer. If so capable of proselytizing cadre of the trust was handed over to him. Then implement it immediately, thinking, acting with no false steps. To be in time that can quickly take a position soon to musharaka da'awiyah (participation da'wah).
A cleric preaching loudly muttering to himself. 'O so and so son of so and so, O friends today all places have been clear to whom? No place is empty. All busy looking for but no one dared to be in a dangerous position of his seat. I want myself living there. Have you followed me to take a sacred position?. "Say:" This is the path (religion) me, myself and the people who follow me invites (you) to God with real proof, Glory to God, and I'm not including people who are polytheists ". (Q. S. Yusuf: 108).

Let us continue to evaluate ourselves. Perhaps we are busy charity, but the best of charity is in the context of jihad fi sabilillah. And best of jihad fi sabilillah is always in the frame nizhamiyatut thaat. And Allaah knows best

"Syaithan Come From The Front, Behind, Right, and Left"

In the Qur'an we find recorded dialogue between Allah SWT with the devil shall be punished by God. In the dialogue, the devil is always maintained, misleading people. It is written in verses 16-17 Surat Al-A raf ' as follows:

" the devil replied: " because you told me, I really am going to (prevents) them aside, you're right, I come to them from the front and because of them, right and left of them. And you're not going to find most of them are thankful (obey) ' " (Sura Al-A ' raf: 16-17).

From the above verse from the Quran explains that the devil will always prevent us from the straight path. The trick, he will come to us from the face, from behind, from right, and left us. Then what is the purpose of the four corners of it? In the commentary of Ibn Kathir explains that what is meant by the word of Allah swt in surah Al-A'raf paragraph 17 above is: "Then I'll come at them from the face": The devil will make people doubt the problems in the afterlife (Min baini Aidihim), "and from behind them": they make love to the world (Wa Min Kholfihim), "from the right": the affairs of religion will be made is not clear ('Wa An Aimaanihim) "and from their left": and the people will be interested and eager to disobedience ('Wa An Syama'ilihim). Then the question arises in our mind, why the devil did not come to us from above and from below us? This is explained in a comment following the Qur'an: Al-Fakhrur-Razy in his commentary says: " Tell that when the devil says that his words, the hearts of the angels ' lament about the man they say: o our Lord, how people can get rid of distractions Satan " then God said to them, that the human remains of two ways: through and below, if a person raised both his hand in prayer with humility or to kneel on the forehead to the ground with full devout, I will forgive their sins " (Al-Tafsir Al-Kabir V/215) in Another interpretation also said that the devil did not come to us from above, by the mercy to a man from the top (Tafsir Ibn Katheer III/394-395). Thus, faith is our weapons. Pray, let us take refuge in God above all temptation syaithan damned.

"Sebaik Baik Teman"

Selama kita hidup di dunia ini, akan selalu berhubungan dengan yang namanya “teman”. Ada teman yang baik, ada pula teman yang buruk. Tapi kadang kita sulit membedakan, mana sih teman yang baik itu, dan mana teman yang buruk itu. Sebagaimana halnya kita sering sulit membedakan mana yang haq dan mana yang bathil.

Saudaraku, Allah Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang. Allah memberikan petunjuk kepada kita melalui Al Qur’an yang dapat membedakan antara yang haq dan yang bathil. Dengan petunjuk Allah itu, kita bisa menemukan siapa sebenarnya teman yang baik, yang pantas kita jadikan sebagai teman.

Teman yang baik itu adalah orang-orang yang dianugerahi nikmat oleh Allah. Mereka itu adalah:

1. Nabi-nabi
2. Para Shiddiiqiin
3. Orang-orang yang mati syahid
4. Orang-orang yang sholeh

Mereka itulah sebaik-baiknya teman, sebagaimana firman Allah SWT:

وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا ﴿٦٩﴾

“Dan barangsiapa yang menta’ati Allah dan Rasul(Nya), mereka itu akan bersama-sama denganorang-orang yang dianugerahi nikmat oleh Allah, yaitu : Nabi-nabi, para shiddiiqiin, orang- orang yang mati syahid, dan orang-orang saleh. Dan mereka itulah teman yang sebaik-baiknya.” (QS. An Nisaa’: 69)

Sekarang para nabi sudah tiada. Oleh karena itu, carilah teman yang menjadikan nabi sebagai idola dan teladannya. Carilah teman yang menjadikan Al Qur’an dan As Sunnah sebagai panduan hidupnya. Carilah teman yang menjadikan para shiddiiqiin sebagai panutannya. Carilah teman yang memiliki cita-cita mati syahid. Dan carilah teman yang shaleh dan shalehah.

Lalu bagaimana doanya agar kita diberi petunjuk supaya menemukan teman-teman yang baik (alias teman-teman yang dianugerahi nikmat oleh Allah itu)? Sebenarnya doa itu sudah sering kita ucapkan ketika sholat, mari sama-sama kita buka dan baca surat Al Fatihah ayat 6-7:

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿٦﴾ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ ﴿٧﴾

“Tunjukilah kami jalan yang lurus, (yaitu) jalan orang-orang yang telah Engkau beri nikmat kepada mereka; bukan (jalan) mereka yang dimurkai dan bukan (pula jalan) mereka yang sesat.” (QS. Al Fatihah: 6-7)

Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin…

"Makna C.I.N.T.A Dalam Islam"

                Apakah hakikat cinta itu? Banyak mengingat pada yang di cintai, membicarakan dan menyebut namanya. Jadi jika seseorang mencintai sesuatu, maka sudah tentu dia kan senantiasa mengingatnya dalam hati atau menyebutnya dengan lisan.  Hakikat cinta dalam Islam, ialah cinta dan mencintai karena Allah, oleh karena itu, Allah s.w.t. memerintahkan hamba-Nya agar mengingati-Nya dalam keadaan apapun.

                Mitos cinta sejati manusia  digembar gemborkan sehingga timbul hari cinta dimana pada hari tersebut semua berhak mengekspresikan rasa cintanya kepada siapapun dengan cara setiap orang itu sendiri. Dan tidak sedikit orang yang kemudian tergantung, dan selalu mengikuti ritual ini, hingga tidak dapat berpikir, mengapa hanya pada hari-hari itu saja cinta harus di ekspresikan. Sayang memang, karena kita tenggelam dalam budaya seperti ini.

                Seorang peneliti dari Researches of National Autonomous University of mExico mengungkapkan hasil risetnya yang sangat mengejutkan. Menurutnya : “ Sebuah hubungan cinta pasti akan menemui titik jenuh, bukan hanya factor bosan semata, tetapi karena kandungan zat kimia di otak yang mengaktifkan rasa tersebut juga telah habis. Rasa tergila-gila pada seseorang tidak akan bertahan sampai lebih dari 4 tahun, jika telah berumur 4 tahun, cinta sirna, bukan cinta yang murni lagi. Rasa tergila-gila pada awal jatuh cinta, disebabkan oleh aktiv nya beberapa hormon otak. Tetapi lama kelamaan hormon-hormon itu berkurang lalu menghilang”.

                Lalu bagaimana sebaiknya kita menempatkan cinta dan menumbuhkan cinta? Semailah rasa cinta karena iman, amal shaleh, dan akhlak yang mulia. Cintailah seseorang karena 3 hal ini, agar cinta dapat terjalin abadi walaupun telah renta karena usia atau bahkan maut telah memisahkan.  Dan sungguh cinta ini akan abadi, tidak akan goyah terterpa angina tau sinar matahari, dan tidak akan pula luntur karena guyuran hujan. Yahya bin Mu’az berkata : “Cinta karena Allah tidak akan bertambah hanya karena orang yang engkau cintai berbuat baik kepadamu, dan tidak akan berkurang walaupun dia berlaku kasar kepadamu.” Cinta kepadanya bukan dikarenakan materi, pangkat kedudukan, atau pun wajah yang rupawan. Melainkan semata-mata karena kecintaan kita kepada Allah.

Berusahalah mencintai dan menyayangi semuanya karena Allah semata.
