Tawhed Phenomenon of the Past

The division of  tawheed  into  its components was not done by  the Prophet (pbuh)  nor  by  his  companions,  as  there  was  no  necessity  to  analyze  such  a  basic principle of  faith  in  this fashion. However,  the foundations of  the components are all  implied  in  the  verses  of  the Qur’aan  and  in  the  explanatory  statements of  the Prophet (pbuh)  and  his  companions,  as will  become  evident when  each  category  is dealt with in more detail later. 

The necessity for this analytical approach to the principle of tawheed arose
after  Islaam  spread  into  Egypt,  Byzantium,  Persia  and  India  and  absorbed cultures  of  these  regions.  It  is  only  natural  to  expect  that when  the  peoples these  lands  entered  the  fold  of  Islaam,  they would  carry with  them  some  of remnants  of  their  former  beliefs.  When  some  of  these  new  converts  began express,  in writings  and  discussion,  their  various  philosophical  concepts  of God confusion  arose  in which  the  pure  and  simple  unitarian  belief  of  Islam  became threatened.  There  were  also  others  who  had  outwardly  accepted  Islam secretly  worked  to  destroy  the  religion  from  within,  due  to  their  inability oppose  it militarily. This group began  to actively propagate distorted  ideas about Allah  among  the masses  in  order  to  tear  down  the  first pillar of eemaan  (faith) and with it Islam self. 

The  early  caliphs  and  their  governors  were  closer  to  Islamic  principles, 
and the consciousness of the masses was high due to the presence of the Prophet’s companions  and  their  students.  Hence,  the  demand  for  the elimination  of  open heretics  received  immediate  response  from  the  rulers.  In  contrast,  the  later Umayyad caliphs were more corrupt and as such cared  little about such  religious issues.  The  masses  were  also  less  Islamically  conscious  and  thus  were  more susceptible  to  deviant  ideas. 

As  greater  numbers  of  people  entered  Islam  under the  Umayyads,  and  the  learning  of  an  increasing  number  of  conquered  nations was  absorbed,  the  execution  of  apostates was  no  longer  used  to  stem  the  rising tide of heresy. The task of opposing it fell on the shoulders of the Muslim scholars of  the  period who  rose  to meet  the  challenge  intellectually.  

They systematically opposed  the  various  alien  philosophies  and  creeds  by  categorizing  them  and countering them with principles deduced from the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. It was out of  this defense  that  the science of  tawheed emerged, with its precisely defined categories  and  components. Therefore,  as  the  categories  of  tawheed  are studied separately and  in more depth,  it must not be forgotten that they are each a part of an organic whole which is itself the foundation of a greater whole, Islam itself.

THE STATUS AND IMPORTANCE OF BISMILLAH

Islam is not confined only to the mosque and madrasah. It is a way of life. 
Each and every aspect of a Muslim's life is supposed to be deen (Islam). It is for 
this reason that Rasulullah  (pbuh) has shown the  ummah simple little 
methods which would render each and every worldly affair of his to 
become deen and for which he will be rewarded. It is for this reason 
that saying : Bismillahirrahmanirraheem (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)

Any important work that does not begin with Bismillah is devoid of Barakah. When there is no barakah the chances are that a person will not be successful in that project. Therefore, should be read before beginning that project or work.

Jabir is reported to have said that when say bismillah was revealed, the clouds gave way by moving to the East, the winds ceased blowing, the oceans became calm, the creatures prepared themselves to listen, the  satanic were pelted with fire from the heavens and Allah I, swearing an oath by His honour, declared: Anyone who says this name of mine upon anything, I will surely impart barakah in that  thing. 

The reason for the above is as follows: in Bismillah there are three 
names of Allah : 

1) Allah which is His personal name indicating that all projects can 
only be initiated by the will and wish of Allah. 

2)  Rahman (Kind) which is His attributive name  indicating  that 
only Allah  I can keep that project intact and existent 
(guarding it against destruction).

3)  Rahim (Most Merciful) which is also His attribute name indicating 
that only Allah can, through His mercy and grace, enable any 
person to derive benefit from that project.

Say it..

SAHIH BUKHARI PROFILE

Sahih Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called a hadith. Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadith. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established.

Bukhari's collection is recognized by the overwhelming majority of the Muslim world to be one of the most authentic collections of the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh). Bukhari (full name Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin al-Mughira al-Ja'fai) was born in 194 A.H. and died in 256 A.H. His collection of hadith is considered second to none. He spent sixteen years compiling it, and ended up with 2,602 hadith (9,082 with repetition).



His criteria for acceptance into the collection were amongst the most stringent of all the scholars of a hadith. It is important to realize, however, that Bukhari's collection is not complete: there are other scholars who worked as Bukhari did and collected other authentic reports.


Albani left more 1700 Bukhari and Muslim (two old man, said). Some time Albani weak  (poor) in the other side. So, Sahih Bukhari must have on your book hadith collection.

Sunnah and Glorious Part 2

When you pick by finger, nerves in the brain will be respon into stomach area. So, our bodies know when we would be full avoiding glut. But, if you touch by spoon, our bodies don't know the rules. Subhanallah..

KH. Agus Salim, one of our national leaders ever in an international meeting he ate with their hands. Several ambassadors of friendly countries mocking behavior of the Kiayi. Kiayi (ulama) responsibility, if his hands cleaner and sterile of spoon and fork you. My hand, said kiayi washed first 5 minutes ago. Meanwhile, spoon and fork you, perhaps washed yesterday. So my hand is sterile. Moreover, said kiayi, my hands were privately owned, used only my own. Not lent to others. While the brother's cutlery used in bulk.

Do not be shy to practice sunnah. If the food we eat does not fry a lot, still can use the hands, use hand directly. Surely not too far for the sake of love sunnah. Chicken porridge, or eat boiled noodles, it would be difficult if we are using the hands directly. Place in accordance with the situation. But try as much as possible, when you can use it with our hands with fingers about do that-try that.

The latter, about sunnah sleep. Should sleep early in the evening so you can easily get up on mid or end night (tahajud). In addition, sleeping position should be for men, tilted right (Hr. Bukhari of Barra bin Azib). Indeed, it is not prohibited, if we are sleeping on your back with one leg raised. Prophet never done while dozing in the mosque, It means sleeping supine sleeping position only briefly. Apostles the night sleeping position, in the book Riyadussalihin with lying to the right (From Aisha r.ha- Hr-Agreed alaih). By lying in this position, the position of our heart will be there at the top. The heart our position is on the left, with lying to the right, then the heart will be there at the top. So that the blood circulation at the time can be more evenly distributed to the brain and give the quality of sleep. Of course, the brain becomes more relaxed when we are asleep. In addition, by lying to the right, the position we squeezed stomach. So the work of the stomach will also be more relaxed because not a lot of the incoming air. And what about the prone position? Prophet (pbuh) forbade one friend he saw was sleeping with the prone position at the mosque.

Do not eat before bed, also a sunnah. Because the Prophet always read the letter al-Mulk and As-Sajdah before going to sleep. That is the span of two letters, the Prophet never after the stomach is fully charged and then straight to bed. I never heard of a doctor when they visit sick brother's appendicitis. He said the cause of appendicitis is not chili beans or grains. He said, most of the cause's satiety after eating straight to bed.

So, in the Sunnah there is greatness. There are a lot of good if we resume practicing the Sunnah. Later, one day we will understand for your selves why the Prophet emphasized the importance of the Sunnah. Do not let non-Muslims who actually practice this sunnah-Sunnah. Insha Allah we do it intentions and convey to others.



Sunnah and Glorious


One of the medical doctor in Europe there, which is we not necessarily call it's (the name, tells if minimum of 3 just sunnah is taken care, practiced every day, they said would hardly takes care of health. Sunnah eats, sleep and urinates and defecates. We will decompose one after another in a word meant by this medical doctor.

Sunnah urinates for example urine with position of cringing, not urine standing. If urine standing, surely less cleanness. There are still rest of secretory urine, although have been ascertained nothing that droops because there are still many remains from channel urinary bladder. When sujud, if urine stood, will feel there is thing dropping, rest of urine that is less cleanness. With cringing, squatting, for certain all rest of urines will go out. More than anything else if follow order fikih, namely clearing throat 3 times, and massages privy parts bar. Insya Allah altogether would be complete (from Muinul mubiin book). Didn't hesitate again pants or case to be used sholat. Besides, with urine which leak, complete of cleanness, will restrain from azab grave. Did you remember the prophet may Allah be blesses him, had stated if most Azab grave from the problem of sholat neglected and the problem of urine that is less cleanness?

Umar radium, in a hadith expressed if s (he have ever been prohibited by Rasulullah (pbuh) when urine standing. Yes Umar.. Lanthanum tabuulu Qoiman. After the time of that, Umar bin Khattab radium, never again urine standing.

The second of Sunnah even eats. Rasulallah (pbuh) teaches that we to eat by hand directly, with finger which directly touch's a food, would easy to be known does eat that still hot or have been cool. Moreover, finger by own hand we can release certain enzyme of which is easy rots food. Earns we are test self food touched by finger and spoon, will surely be quicker decayed, if it is touched by our hand finger. This it is of course hardly good to our digestion. So stomach is not too "fatigue" works. It's (the Sunnah is also we start with three fingers.

Who Is Create “The Hell”, Mr. Ahmad Dhani?

Our brother from Indonesia a singer—pop musician, said the controversial statement this month. He said on twitter account “To non Islam (disbelieve), don’t believe (don’t worry)  if there are people who say that in addition to the Islamic will be go to hell, that only interpretation or opinion of themselves. Back when I was a kid (little boy) in the doctrine that people who are not Muslim or Caucasians (foreign) surely go to hell ... yes I believed ... I am just little boy..."

Brothers and Sisters in Islam…



Please see before Qur’an al-Imran (3) : 85.
And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.”



Qur’an said losers for other Islam religion. And we will be same opinion as the way of life desire. So, we never claim or giving label to someone or people with “hell” without Qur’an.


One day, our sheikh listen to us how dialogue between Moses prophet and Allah. Moses asks to God Allah, “why you create the hell and paradise, and why you will give believer to paradise and for them is a painful punishment because they (habitually) used to lie?” Allah asks too about Moses wheat field or farm (Moses as farmer). Why you throw away the broken wheat and choose the good? Moses answered, “the broken wheat not exactly what I want (need), so I am throw away.” And Allah asks again, “who is the owner (field)?” “I am,” answered Moses. So, Allah say, “Hell created by I am and I will throw away for them is a painful punishment because disbelieve.”       

The "Corner"

Last time at my university in Yogyakarta have two corners, one corner for Iranian and Canada another place but still one library room. I say thank to my rector for this rich of perspective. May be they want every student college must knew about syiah—I mind Iran and another perspective—west with symbol from Canada, in this case.



Many holy man – I mind ulama-- has been report this corner with blacklist idea. But, for us this only Conner that you are chooses it. The syiah idea cannot be grow up in Indonesia. The historical of Indonesia independence also help people from Gujarat, Arabic, India, China, and Yaman.  They come and give little touch to Indonesian faith by culture dialogue. So, syiah also rejected.




Like syiah, Canadian corner also “sweet look” cause some our graduate also studied to Mcgill University. This corner also give us some large “world view” about Islam. One several time, Saudi Arabian corner taking space in my library. So, I think UN, IDB, IMF, FIFA, and other world state and organization will be come like exhibition. LOL. 



The Critics: Reading the Religious Text a New Approach from Shahrour

Shahrour said: "I concluded that there is no basis in the Qur’an for predestination. The only predestination that exists is the universal laws for all humanity. Such as the one who rules that everyone will die. It is not defined in advance how long each one will live, but it is only written that everyone will die some day." - Quote from "Reading the Religious Text."

I'm sorry professor. I think this problem about communication between God Allah want and humanity.  Some time the man- I think human—cannot understanding about God with the destiny (say: taqdir). God can do as he will without human need and want desire.  

Like some prophet Muhammad desire to get Islamic brothers from he’s uncle (Abi Thalib). God Allah has been saying in the Qur’an with al-Isra’ (17): 15. Noah and the community destroyed by water flooding. And Allah said the guidance has been give to all human, that human will say thanks or not. Abi thalib like Noah community perspective about guidance and his not follow it.

Some time I think Allah not be fair, too. I see the human born without hand and foot. Is God Allah wrong creating a human body? Or he “stupid” like failed product a manufacturing process? No. Allah never looks a human destiny and perspective as something to create.    

Example sick and/or death case, which everyone avoids but them also coming without human destiny how many hard the human keep it. So, if you ask advance how long each one will live, that same you ask “how I am can be God Allah?”   

Behind ‘Jilbab’ Regulation of Policewomen in Indonesia and Ministry Halts Condom Program

I am glad with Imam Arifin Ilham as spiritual advice meet Sutarman to wear headscarves last time. He said this idea because one several time The National police cannot accept this regulation. Aripin give on his speech of Quran while several police socialization about task and job of police theme with people. Aripin said, “Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a reward therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a burden therefrom. And ever is Allah , over all things, a Keeper.” (See: An-Nisa’ [4]: 85). 

The National Police are reconsidering a policy allowing Muslim policewomen to wear headscarves, or jilbab, while on duty. Following a statement by the force’s new chief, Gen. Sutarman, that policewomen would be allowed to wear the jilbab, his deputy, Comr. Gen. Oegroseno, announced that the policy had to be postponed until an official regulation was issued and a budget allocated for the procurement of uniform headscarves. Budget allocated only small of alibi with stinky of issues.


Last time, healthy of ministry will be given condom to student high school and college. This car with event “National Condom Week” has been issued come to Gajah Mada university of Yogyakarta.  



Bus of  condom from ministry
The National Police have delayed their decision to allow female officers to wear Islamic headscarf while on duty but condom will be goal it. “Week of condom” is reality conspiracy.  Why budget allocated for condom and no for jilbab?

Astagfirullah..


'I Pray for You and You Must Give Me Money'

I am laugh  event read a newspaper about "pray and money." These issues from Twitter a man who said go to Mecca for umroh. But, he also request money from transfer method. You give some money, and you will be pray to me. You can visit twitter account @SedekahHarian with Indonesian language for detail.
Some people also ask how I feel you at Mecca this time (at present). He said will be turning on Geotagging from him cellular. But, he cannot do it because at this hotel also block the wifi content of several link – including geo tagging. This is true story on beginner year of 2014.

My brothers and sisters in Islam..

Geotagging or GeoTagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as a geotagged photograph (see : Wikipedia). It will be give us believe who man said "I am in Mecca now." But, the business man of prayer also 'runs from reality of life.' Do you believe?

The business man of prayer also don’t believe if God Allah also listening your pray. Hope and all you need in your heart God Allah also say "pray to me, and you also will be answer." It means, you should be asking to God Allah without another "bridge." You don't need money, wood, stone, picture or everything, if just prays to God because you also need Allah. 17 times every days you said "iyyaka" in the other mean "just for/to you (Allah The God of universe)" event sholat. Please look if sojood you meet to Allah. You don’t need the 'Child or Mother' of God, just for pray to your creator. I think very wrong if you must pay for pray only. How about your comment about this case?
