The Value of Human depends on His Heart

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 7 Sep 2012 22:39:00 +0700

In this post I will write about the value of a human is depends on his heart. As Prophet Muhammad. said: "Allah does not look at your body or at your shape. Allah only sees your heart and your deeds." (Narrated by Muslim)

In every human action there must be a motivation or intention that prompted him to do so. The things that motivate human actions are of two kinds, namely because of Allah and because of other than Allah. And often we do good because besides Allah, such as:

Giving something to someone else so they can become familiar with the person;
Being disciplined and working as well as possible, in order to receive special attention from the boss.
Giving gifts to officials in order to get the project, or to be appointed as his assistant.

All the actions that we do that is not because of Allah, later on the Day of Resurrection will be cast into hell. As the words of the Prophet, narrated by Imam Bayhaqi ; "On the Day of Resurrection someday, Allah will separate the mundane issues that are really directed to Him. While directed to other than Allah will be cast into hell". Only goodness we do simply because Allah SWT to be reckoned reward. Because of that we should :

If we give something to someone else, we should intend to seek blessings from Allah, because Allah commands us to give alms.
If we are disciplined and work as well as possible, we intend to seek Allah's blessing, because Islam commands its followers to appreciate the time and work in a professional manner.

What for do we give gifts to officials who are rich. if we really intend to seek Allah's blessing, it would be better if the gifts we give to people who really need it. For example, the poor, orphans, widows, and elderly people who are not taken care of properly.

The Benefits of The Herb Hindiba as Cancer Treatment of The Islamic Heritage

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 22:31:00 +0700

Cancer is a deadly disease that mankind dreaded. World Health Organization, WHO estimates that in 2010, cancer will be the number one disease cause the death in the world beats a heart attack. According to WHO predictions, by 2030, there will be 75 million people affected by cancer around the world.

Indeed, cancer is not a new disease. In the era of the triumph of the Islamic civilization, Muslim doctors have been able to diagnose and treat cancer. Not only that, Muslim doctors, like Ibn Sina and al-Baitar has found a cure for the deadly disease.

It is al-Baitar, a Muslim scientist in the 12th century AD who managed to find herbs for treating cancer called Hindiba. Hindiba concoction invented by al-Baitar contains anticancer substances that can cure tumors and interference-neoplastic disorders.

Head of the Department of History and Ethics, University of Istanbul, Turkey, Professor Nil Sari in his work; Hindiba: A Drug for Cancer Treatment in Muslim Heritage, has proven efficacy and validity of herbal Hindiba invented by al-Baitar. He and some other doctors have been scientifically tested and has even patented Hindiba invented by al-Baitar.

According to Professor Nil Sari, Hindiba been recognized by the medical doctors (pharmacologist), and herbalist in the Islamic world. Muslims have been using herbs to cure cancer long time ago before the doctors in the West found it, said Prof. Nil Sari.

After testing scientifically, Prof. Nil Sari concluded that, Hindiba has the power to cure various diseases. Hindiba can clear obstacles found in small channels in the body, especially in the digestive system. But the most spectacular domain is its power to cure tumors, he said.

To track the efficacy of the herb Hindiba, Professor Nil Sari was doing research on the treatment literature in the past. He tracked two masterpieces of Muslim scientists, namely Ibn Sina by Canon of Medicine and plant encyclopedia written by al-Baitar.

When we look at old text more closely, we see the truth that we know very little about herbs (herbs) in the past, he said. In the text of the glory of Islam's heritage explained that Hindiba and many other herbs are divided into two main groups, the processed herbs and herbs are not processed.

According to ancient medical texts, the efficacy of cancer treatment using Hindiba treatment based on theoretical considerations, the effects of medical drugs operate in accordance with the nature of the constituents. According to Prof. Nil, constituents generated from the decomposition will have the effect so-called energy. The potential quality of hot and cold in the nature of the drug will come out as a result of decomposition of the body.

The active component of natural heat will immediately react and spread through the body tissues effectively. Heat Constituents react before the cold constituent and clear obstacles in the line of small channels on the body and accelerate the deployment of the cold constituents. Then come the cold element, and begin to function.

In the Arabic-language medical treatise, a relic of the golden age of Islam, it is mentioned that all types of inflammation such as warts or bumps have caused interference on the channel. While cancer is described as a hard mass. Identified as a hard swelling, cancer develops from small to large and then coupled with the pain.

Quoting Ibn Sina records in the Canon of Medicine, Professor Nil Sari revealed that the tumor or cancer, when on leave will be increased in size. So that the cancer will spread and damage. Its roots can infiltrate between the elements of the body's tissues. Professor Nil Sari find a similar picture in a manuscript about cancer treatment in the Ottoman era.

According to Ibn Sina, the tumor is classified into two, namely hot and cold tumors. Tumor-colored and feels warm to the touch is usually called heat tumors, while tumors that are colorless and does not feel warm called as cold tumors. Ibn Sina called cancer as a form of tumor that sits between cold tumor.

Efficacy of Hindiba investigated by Prof. Nil Sari by presenting in-depth data about theoretical background in vivo and in vitro experiments with herbal extracts from Turkey. He started from the Ottoman philosophy, rooted in Islamic medicine. In this work, it was mentioned that the drug Cichorium intybus L and Crocus sativus L. identified as an alternative crop identical to each other which is the active component for the treatment of cancer.

Professor Nil Sari and his colleague Dr. Hanzade Dogan mixing C intybus L and saffron (saffron) from Safranbolu, as described by the old medical texts. Even more interesting are the results of our laboratory studies showing that extracts from C. intybus L were found to be the most active in colon cancer, said Professor Nil Sari.

According to him, Hindiba proved to be very effective in treating cancer. Unfortunately, he said, in ancient times, Hindiba more recommended as a drug for the treatment of tumors. It was revealed in the book of Ibn al-Baitar. According to al-Baitar, if the herb Hindiba heated, and foam removed and filtered and drink will be useful to cure the tumor.

medical experts in the era of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed Mumin, reveal that Hindiba can treat tumors in internal organs. However, more often recommended for the treatment of tumors in the throat. If cinnamon mixed with Hindiba juice (specially treated well) can be used to gargle the mouth and is also useful for the treatment of tumor, pain and laryngitis.

The Story of Prophet Adam Alayhis Salaam (Part II)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:31:00 +0700

The Devil rebelled.
The Devil rebelled and was reluctant to obey God's command, unlike other angels, who immediately prostrate before Adam as an homage to the creatures of God who will be given the mandate to rule the earth and everything that lives and grows on it and buried in it. The Devil feels himself more noble than Adam, more mainstream and more glorious than Adam, because The Devil was created from elements of fire, while Adam was created from soil and mud. Pride in its origins to make the devil to feel proud and reluctant to bow to respect Adam as the other angels, even though God commanded it.

The Lord said to The Devil: "What is stopping you to bow down to respect something that I created with my hands?"

He said: "I am the more noble and superior to him. You created me from fire and you created him from the mud."

Because of pride, arrogance and defiance are commanded to perform prostrations, then God punishes The Devil by him out of heaven and expelled him from the ranks of angels, accompanied by curses and damnation that will be attached to him until the day of resurrection.In addition, he declared the inhabitants of hell.

The devil boasted well received God 's punishment and he just ask that given the opportunity for eternal life until the Day of Judgment. God granted his request, but the devil is not grateful and thankful for the provision of guarantees that, even otherwise he threatened to Adam's misleading, as for her expulsion from heaven and the issuance of the rows of angels, and will overtake the children of the offspring from every angle to persuade them to leave the straight and invites them to perform immoral and illegal things that other, teasing them to forget the commandments of the religion and their influence so as not to be grateful and pious charity.

Then God said to The Devil, that cursed: "Go thou with followers who are all followers will be the contents of Hell and the fuel of hell. You will not be able to deceive my servants who have believed in me with all her heart and has a steady Aqeedah that will not be deterred by your line even if you using all cleverness to demagoguery and malign."

The Story of Prophet Adam Alayhis Salaam (Part I)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 7 Sep 2011 21:01:00 +0700

After Allah created the earth, mountains, oceans, vegetation, creating the heavens, sun, moon and stars that shine, then later Allah willed to create the kind of other creatures that will inhabit and fill the earth, keep enjoying grow-vegetation, managing wealth is hidden in them and breed, inherited the legacy of all time who have been destined for him. He is Adam Alayhis Salaam.

The Fears of Angels.

When Allah tells the angels about His will to create other creatures, the Angels are concerned, they are afraid that the will of God is caused by their negligence in worship and perform tasks that are commanded by God or because of their transgressions without them knowing it. Then they said to God: "Wilt Thou place therein one Who Will the make mischief therein and shed blood?-Whilst We Do Celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" (See the Qur'an Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 30).

Then Allah said to allay fears of the angels : "I know what ye know not" (See qur'an surah al-Baqarah, verse 30)

Then Allah created Adam from a lump of dry clay and shaped black mud. After that, the shape is refined and then God breathed His spirit into it and Adam stood up straight and became a perfect human being

Between Love and Lust

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 12:51:00 +0700

Reviewing the story of two young people making love is always interesting to talk about. It also seems to underlie much news either in printed or electronic media when it is discovered the videos 'unite' the two souls are engrossed in love. Yes, currently, there are many young people are drawn into the flow of free association. Courtship seemed to be a new culture for them to pour their love for their lover.

Undeniably, there are many deep concern behind the phenomenon. With "the name of love", many young people who then forget the limits outlined by religion. Through the event, which is called courtship, there is an intensive interaction of mutual feelings of love, often meet, and so on which led to the occurrence of various physical contact. Not infrequently they get plunged into the abyss of adultery, because they can not control themselves. Finally, the relationship which is special to them initially, be a cause of grave sin and the destruction of the future for the culprit. Once again, they do it with "the name of love" before. The words of love that sanctity should be maintained, to be stained. Then, is it true love? Or is it just a lust camouflaged?

If there is a girl who said to her lover, "I gave all mine to you as evidence of my love for you..." He considers it as a sacrifice for love. But is that the sacrifice for love? Or did it for lust? There was a young man asked his girlfriend, "If you really love me, what is the evidence?" Or in other occasions, "As a proof of love, will you kiss, hug... (and beyond)." Or in other cases, if the requester is the girl, and when the boy refused and then the boy will be sorted of as cowardice. Should it be the prove of love?

Love and lust are two things that are inherent in man. Both are like two sides of a sword that is very contradictory, but always present together. Appetite comes with a full beauty, but can not be denied that in the end the faith always be cut off with a single blow.

The relationship between love, lust, and sex is interesting. If the three do not have a close relationship, unlikely there will be the term "making love" the connotation is more or less describes the linkages. Then from these linkages arises many questions in our minds: Is the love begins with lust, or lust caused by love? Whether sex is a consequence of lust, or the consequences of love? Does sex need love? Is there love without lust and sex?

Love is grace, it comes suddenly. In the drama of life often happens what is often termed ' one hand clapping ', we really love someone but he or she does not love us, or may otherwise there are people who so love us, but we do not have a sense of it. In this case, love is a mystery, it is a sacred nature the gift given by God to humanity that must be maintained and directed. Love will be a holy and glorious forever when he is possessed by a "true lovers". Much love story that became legend. The beautiful Tajmahal in the land of India created by love. Rabiah Al Adawiyah became the legendary Sufi woman because her love to the Creator.

Islam is a religion of love, we are taught to live with mutual love, and harmony side by side. Even a Muslim's or Muslima's faith is not perfect if he or she could not love his brothers/sisters as he/she loves him/herself. Only, that love should not exceed our love to the love owner (Allah), and there are the procedures of it. In addition, we have to recognize where the love and where lust. Once we are wrapped up in a vortex of lust, it will be difficult for us to get out of there.

So, do not say 'Love' if we can not give the meaning to it with the real meaning. Do not equate love with lust simply because we are lack of self-control. Do not blame love as a means of lust impingement. And more importantly, promiscuity will not happen if our young people can interpret in love with the truth and uphold the teachings of religion with istiqomah (consistently) until the time arrives, the marriage gates will be open.

Who Should Pay Zakat Al Fitr

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 10:28:00 +0700

The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has explained in the hadith that liability is imposed on everyone, big or small, male or female, free man or slave. However, for minor child be represented by a guardian in the issuing charity. Ibn Hajar said: "What appeared from the hadith that the zakat obligation imposed on a child, but the order was drawn to his guardian. Thus, the obligation is redeemable from such a small boy treasures. If not, then it becomes an obligation of the people who gives him a living, this is an argument of Islamic scholars". (Qur'an Surah Al-Fath (3:369), see also Qur'an Surah At-Tamhid (14:326-328, 335-336)

Nafi' said :
"It used to Ibn 'Umar give zakat of a small child and an adult, so he used to really give zakat of my son". (Saheeh, Hadith Al-Bukhari, Kitabuz Zakat Chapter 77, No. 1511, and Qur'an Surah Al-Fath (3:375) Similarly, slaves represented by the slave master. (Qur'an Surah Al-Fath, 3:369)

Are non-Muslims also exposed to liability of Zakat?
For example a child who disbelieve, if his father (a Muslim) is obliged to give their zakat? The answer is No. Because the Prophet gave the note at the end of the hadith that the obligation applies to the Muslims (among Muslims). Although in this case there is also argued that they should remain excluded zakat. But the opinion is not strong, since it is incompatible with dzahir hadith of the Prophet.

Should Fetal (Fetus) give zakat as well?
The answer is No. Because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam obliges it to child, while the fetus is not called ( child ) both in terms of both language and customs. Even Ibn Mundhir citing ijma' (consensus of islamic scholars) about not obligatory zakat for the fetus. Although actually there is also the opinion about the obligatory on the fetus, which is partly narrated by Al-Imam Ahmad and Ibn Hazm's opinion with a note that the fetus is 120 days old. Another opinion of Al-Imam Ahmad is a sunnah. However, two recent opinion is weak, because it is not in accordance with the above hadith.

Is Zakat a mandatory for people who are poor?
Ibn al-Qayyim said "If the obligation is attached when he was able to implement it and then after that he was unable to, the obligation does not fall from him. And it is not mandatory (ie; fall) if he is unable to since those obligations attached to him" (Badai'ul Fawa`id, 4/33)

The criteria are not able in this case, then Asy- Syaukani explains: "Anyone who does not get the rest of the staple food for the evening and noon, then it is not obligated to pay zakat al-fitr. If he has the rest of the staple food of the day, he must pay zakat al-fitr when it reaches the rest of its size (the amount of zakat al-fitr)" (Ad-Darari, 1/365, Ar-Raudhatun Nadiyyah, 1/553, see also Fataawa al-Lajnah Ad-da`imah, 9/369).

The Amount of Zakat Al-Fitr and The Time to Give It

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:04:00 +0700

From Ibn Abbas that the Prophet Muhammad obliges zakat al-fitr as a cleaner for people who are fasting from words that are useless and dirty, and as food for poor people. Whoever gives zakat before prayer Eid, it becomes the zakat received and whoever gives it after prayer Eid, it becomes the ordinary charity. (Reported by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).

Ibn `Umar Rodiallahu Anhu said : "The Messenger of Allah requires zakat al-fitr as much as a sha' of dates or wheat on the slave, free man, men women, children and adults of the Islamic Ummah and ordered to pay it before they come out for prayers Eid al-fitr". (Mutafaq alaih).

Still hadith narrated by Ibn Umar.: "The Messenger of Allah. Ordered that the zakat is given before humans set off for Eid prayers." (Saheeh Muslim, No.1645)

Abu Said Al-Khudry Rodiallahu Anhu said: "At the time of the Prophet we always issue zakat of a sha' of food, or a sha ' of dates, or one sha' of sya'ir, or a sha' of dry wine". (Muttafaq Alaihi)

In a report of another: Or one sha' of dry milk. Abu Sa'id said: As still issued a zakat al-fitr as I spend on the time of the Prophet Muhammad in the history of Abu Dawud: I do not spend forever unless one sha".

Zakat Fitrah must be given before Salaah Eid Eg; 1 or 2 days before Salaah Eid. If the Zakat is given after Salaah Eid, then it falls as a charity.

The amount of zakat according to the present size is 2.5 kg or 3.5 liters. While the food that must be issued that mentioned by hadith texts of flour, wheat, dates, wheat, zahib (wine) and aqith (a kind of cheese). For regional or country which the staple food other than 5 above, Maliki and Shafi'i Madzhab allow paying zakat with other staple foods.

Payment Time of zakat according to jumhur 'ulama :
Time required to pay the zakat al-fitr is marked by the sinking of the sun at the end of Ramadan, It is allowed for the advance payment of zakat at the earliest.

Prayer and a Variety of Worship at The Night of Laylat Al-Qadr

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:58:00 +0700

In a hadith narrated by Bukhari and Abu Hurairoh that the Messenger of Allah said, "Any person praying qiyaam Lailatul qodr with full faith and hope, then his past sins are forgiven".

Also prayer (Dua) taught by the Prophet when someone met with Lailatul qodr is "Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa'fu'anni. Meaning : O Allah, that Thou art the Giver Sorry, You love forgiveness, so give it to me sorry". (Narrated by Ibn Majah)

From both these hadith indicates that it is advisable for anyone who wants to meet with Lailatul qodr to turn on the evening with a variety of worship, such as: night prayers, recitations of the Qur'an, dhikr, prayer and other pious deeds. And those who turn on the night with deeds of worship will feel the peace of mind, toleration and delights in worship because it is all done with the full faith and expect the blessing of Allah Almighty.

Signs of Laylat Al-Qadr

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 20:08:00 +0700

Among the hadiths that tell about the signs of the Laylat al qodr are :

Prophet Muhammad pbuh said, "Laylat al qodr is a clear night, not hot and not cold, the sun that day shone weakly reddish" (Narrated by Ibn Khuzaimah are classed as saheeh by Al-Bani).
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said, "Behold, I am shown Lailatul qodr then I forget, it was there at ten last night. The night was clear, not hot and not cold like the moon reveal the stars. It is not out demons until sunrise its morning" (Narrated by Ibn Hibban)

Prophet Muhammad pbuh said, "The angels on that night more down to earth than the amount of sand" ( Narrated by Ibn Khuzaimah the sanad was classed as hasan by Al-Bani)
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said, "The sign is the sunrise on a bright morning with no light" (Narrated by Muslim)

Associated with various signs of Laylat Qodr mentioned by some of the hadith, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qardawi said, "All the signs are not able to provide assurance about it and can not provide assurance that if the signs were not meant Lailatul Qodr not happen that night, because Lailatul qodr occur in countries that climate, season, and the weather is different. There may have been among the Muslim countries with a state that never -ceasing rain, whereas residents in other areas perform shalat istisqo'. Countries differ in terms of heat and cold, up and sunsets, too strong and weak light. Because of that, it is highly unlikely if the signs are the same throughout the hemisphere".

Why Is It Called Laylat Al-Qadr

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 19:34:00 +0700

Named Laylat Al-Qadr because at this night, the angel ordered by God Almighty to write provisions about the goodness, sustenance and blessings in this year, as Allah Almighty says :

“we sent it down during a Blessed night: for we (ever) wish to warn (against evil). In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of Wisdom, by command, from Our Presence. for we (ever) send (revelations)” (Qur’an Surah Ad-Dukhaan, verse 3-5).

Al-Qurtubi said that on that night also, the angels come down from heaven and from every Sidrotul Muntaha to earth and say amen to the prayers spoken by humans until dawn. The angels and Gabriel Alaihis Salaam come down with mercy on the orders of Allah Almighty, also bring any matters that have been determined and established by God in the year to come. Laylat al Qodr is the welfare and the goodness of the whole night without any ugliness until dawn, as Allah says in Qur'an Surah Al-Qadr, verse 4-5 :

“Therein come down the angels and the spirit by Allah.s permission, on every errand: Peace!...This until the rise of morn!”

Extraordinary Wisdom Behind Fasting Ramadan

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 9 Aug 2011 11:54:00 +0700

Behind the exam hunger, thirst and lust during fasting in Ramadan, it turns out there is a tremendous benefit to health.

Harith bin Kaldah (one of the famous physician of the Arabs) said, "Keep the meal is the cure of disease. While the stomach is a source of disease ".

By fasting, the stomach automatically wake from excessive intake of foods that may harm the body and health.

Did you know that fasting was able to:

1. Lose weight
Reduced energy entry of the fasting person keeps the body must find the source of stored energy in it, that is deposits of fat in the body to be used as an energy source. No wonder that after 29-30 days of fasting, the body will change its shape and weight is reduced to about 4 kg.

2. Preventing a stroke
Fasting can also reduce the risk of stroke because it can improve blood cholesterol. Several studies conducted showed that fasting can increase HDL (high density lipoprotein) and lower trigliserol fat (forming LDL cholesterol-low-density lipoprotein is harmful to health).

3. Lowering blood pressure
In those who have high blood pressure with mild to moderate overweight, fasting can help lower blood pressure. However, consultation with expert clinicians remains to be done to adjust the drug administration.

4. Forming new cells
Fasting also serves to eliminate damaged cells in the body. The hunger makes it move fast the internal organs in the body and "eat" the damaged cells to cover the hunger. Well, at that time the body will replace them with new cells, so they can return to function and move.

5. Reducing the risk of diabetes
For healthy people, fasting can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. This occurs because the reduction in caloric intake will reduce the circulation of physiological insulin and blood sugar levels. With good blood sugar control, will prevent type 2 diabetes, caused by insulin Harmon no longer sensitive to control blood sugar.

As long as you are healthy and capable to fast, do this with all your heart because to double the reward, in addition, you'll get health benefits as well.

Happy fasting...!!

5 Virtues of Month Ramadan

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 2 Aug 2011 21:22:00 +0700

The Followers of the prophet Muhammad is given five things that have never been given to the peoples before when Ramadan :

The First Virtue
The smell of the fasting person 's mouth is more fragrant than the scent of musk oil on the side of God. means the change of bad breath when the stomach is empty of food. Human hate the smell, but more fragrant than musk oil on the side of God because it is born of obedience to Him. Anything arising from the worship and obedience to God will surely be loved by him, and the culprit will be given something better instead.

The Second Virtue
The angels will ask forgiveness for those who perform fasting until they break. God certainly hears the prayers of the Angels for the fasting person. For they indeed have been allowed for it. God allowed the Angels to ask forgiveness for them to raise, exalt the mention, and explain the virtues of fasting for this ummah. Meaning seek forgiveness is to ask forgiveness, namely by covering and forgiving sins, both in the world and in the hereafter. This is the desire as well as the highest goal. Every son of Adam would frequently make mistakes and act beyond the limits. So they really need God's forgiveness.

The Third Virtue
God beautify the Heaven every day in preparation for His righteous servants, and in order to motivate them to enter it.

The Fourth Virtue
Syaithan dissidents, chained and shackled so that they can not mislead the righteous servants from the truth and can not prevent them from goodness. This is one form of God's help to His servants. The enemy of this ummah is tied, so that they can not bring this people to become residents of the burning Hell. Therefore, you can see that in this month, the righteous people have a higher desire to do good and refrain from evil than in other months.

The Fifth Virtue
God forgives the ummah of Muhammad 's at the end of every night this month. If they do what should be done in this glorious month, in the form of fasting and prayer, then God will give grace to refine their reward when they have finished doing their deeds. Those who do good deeds then the reward will be refined after working on it. God gives gifts to His servants with a reward from three sides :

First : God requires righteous deeds to them so that their sins can be forgiven and their degree can be lifted.

Second : They were given taufik by God, to do good deeds that have been left out by most of mankind.

Third : God gave the gift with an abundant reward. One good deed will be rewarded with ten to seven hundred times, even much more than that. The gift of charity and the reward from Allah, praise be to Him. He is the owner, maintainer and regulator of the universe.

My brothers, Ramadan is a great blessing for people who find it and fulfill their rights. Namely, by returning to their Lord from disobedience to obedience to Him, from neglect to remember him, and from far away from him toward repentance to Him.

Marhaban Yaa Ramadan (Welcome Fasting Month..!)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:51:00 +0700

Unnoticed, we have entered the last weeks of the month Sya'ban and soon will come the month that we 're looking forward to, the full blessings month, mercy and forgiveness, that's the month of Ramadan. Marhaban Ya Ramadhan..! it seems we can not wait to see you soon.

In the month of Ramadan we are commanded to fast during the whole month. Allah says in Qur’an Surat Al-Baqarah, verse 183, which means : “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you As it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint”

Ramadan is the month in which the revelation of the Qur'an was first revealed, as Allah says in Qur’an Surah Al-Qadr, verse 1-5, which means : “We have indeed revealed This (message) In the night of power: and what will explain to Thee what the night of power is? the night of power is better than a thousand months. therein come down the angels and the spirit by Allah.s permission, on every errand: Peace!...This until the rise of morn!”

Ramadan is a month full of blessings, mercy and forgiveness. Where the doors of heaven be opened with as wide, gates of hell closed as close-dense, and the devils are chained. In this month there is also a night that virtue is better than a thousand months, ie night "Laylat al-Qadr".

How noble month of Ramadan is, the month is filled with the love of God towards His servants. Let's hope we are still given the chance to be reunited with the holy month of Ramadan and optimize the presence of Ramadan with prayer and strengthen devotion to God Almighty. Ameen Yaa Rabbal 'alamiin.

Whispers of The Human Soul

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:20:00 +0700

Human is not an angel nor a devil. It shows the uniqueness of the position and privileges of human beings and also the caliph of God on this earth. The uniqueness is because in man collected malakiyah nature (divine spiritual) and syaithaniyah (Animal/ Physical). If the world is likened to a stage then the pull of the potential for spiritual and bodily into grooves that make the story more interesting life of this world.

History shows a tendency lust and temptation of Satan in humans since Adam did what was forbidden by God not to approach a tree in paradise, this incident resulted in inviting the wrath of God and the expulsion of Adam and Eve into the world. Since then human obedience tested.

Each exam takes temptations and problems. Allah has been providing support for human testing instrument that is lust. Lust is tasked to seduce men by whispering evil, ugliness, which leads to the principles of worldly pleasures and bodily and keep him away from the tendency of spiritual/ ukhrawi.

Smooth seductive whisper it usually starts from small things and the simple so human unconsciously have fallen into error and evil gradually. And in the end it leads to indifference to the promptings of conscience, the good teaching and encourage perpetrators to realize the desire instantly.

Whisper/ Temptation always attack through the sides of one's weakness so it is not easy to block them. People become hesitant to take a decision because the alternative is more tempting and profitable for themselves though improperly. In such situations, people have difficulty maintaining closeness with God, and did not realize God's presence in everyday life.

Against the promptings of the passions within ourselves heavier than resist temptation from outside ourselves. And we can recognize that there is a temptation and try to cope with the help of god. Therefore, we are commanded by God to invoke the protection of the Owner, Preserver, and the human’s king (Allah) from all sorts of whispers and temptations of the soul that is hidden and plunged the people into the valley of humiliation (see surah An-Naas verses 1-4).

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 6 Jul 2011 19:43:00 +0700

To carry out the commands to perform prostrations, with a full appreciation, then each of us needs to understand what the meaning or wisdom behind the commands to perform prostrations to Allah swt.

1. Prostration is a form of obedience
Prostration which means dutifully shows that when people bow down, meaning he is ready to demonstrate compliance in circumstances which, however, as the universe is subject to the provisions of Allah, Allah says in Qur’an surah Ar-Ra’d, verse 15 : “Whatever beings there are In the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah (Acknowledging subjection),- with good-will or In spite of themselves: so do their shadows In the morning and evenings”

2. Guidance of the Science and Faith
People who are knowledgeable and mastery of knowledge is based in faith will make them always bow down to Allah, this is because science will indeed bring someone to faith steady, because given how broad the knowledge of Allah and how little knowledge we can mastery. This all will make a believer must always bow down to Allah. He says in Qur’an, surah Al-Israa’, verse 107-109 “say: "Whether ye believe In it or not, it is true that those who were given knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces In humble prostration, And They say: 'Glory to Our Lord! truly has the promise of Our Lord been fulfilled!' They fall down on their faces In tears, and it increases their (earnest) humility”.

3. To distinguish with the People Reluctant to prostrate
The reality is that many people who would not bow down to Allah, this will cause remorse no measure, either in the world with his arrogance and the next with a painful torment. Their reluctance to submit to God's command will make them farther with the teachings that come from God Almighty, when in fact they are very needed. Allah says in Qur’an Surah Al-Furqon, verse 60 : When it is said to them, "Adore ye ((Allah)) Most Gracious!", They say, "And what is ((Allah)) Most Gracious? shall we Adore that which Thou commandest us?" and it increases their flight (from the truth).

4. Remind to prostrate to the right God
When we always bow down to Allah Almighty is once again remind people that God is the one true God and therefore we must bow and submit to Him, obedient and obey him in circumstances which, however, and wherever we are. Allah says in Qur’an Surah Fushshilaat, verse 37-38 : “Among His sings are the night and the Day, and the sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but Adore Allah, who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. but is the (Unbelievers) are arrogant, (no matter): for In the presence of Thy Lord are those who celebrate His praises by night and by Day. and They never flag (nor feel themselves above it)”.

5. Turning Away From People Infidels
Our sincerity to remain prostrate to Allah Almighty in a broad meaning to prove that we are only willing to submit to Allah and turn away from those who reject Him. This is stated in His Word in QS Al Alaq (96), verse 9-19 : “seest Thou one who forbids, a votary when He (turns) to pray?, seest Thou if He is on (the road of) Guidance?- or enjoins Righteousness? seest Thou if He denies (Truth) and turns away? knoweth He not that Allah doth see? let Him beware! if He desist not, we will drag Him by the forelock,- a lying, sinful forelock! then, let Him call (for help) to His council (of comrades): we will call on the angels of punishment (to Deal with Him)! Nay, heed Him not: but bow down In adoration, and bring Thyself the closer (to Allah.!)”

6. To Emulate the Prophet and His followers
The Prophet and the people along with him with full fidelity always prostrate to Allah Almighty. When we do it well , then we mean people who have been to emulate the Prophet with his faithful followers so that we too become true followers , Allah says in Qur’an Surah Maryam/19:58 : “Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who we carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom we guided and chose. whenever the Signs of ((Allah)) Most gracious were rehearsed to them, They would fall down In prostrate adoration and In tears”.

7. To Follow the angel
Angels always bow down to Allah , therefore, when we prostrate in a broad sense means that we have modeled the angels in our lives in this world, this will make our dignity to be so noble as the noble of angels, Allah says in Qur’an Surah Al A’raaf (7:206) : “Those who are near to Thy Lord, Disdain not to do Him worship: They celebrate His praises, and bow down before Him”.

When people do not want to bow down to Allah Almighty, then they will have pride as already possessed by the devil or Satan who brings a negative impact in the life of this world because he would not submit to the decree of Allah Almighty.

From the above description, it is clear how important it is to prostrate to Allah Almighty and the prostration is done with a full appreciation and sincerity so as to bring a very positive influence in the life of the world and the hereafter.

Characteristics of a Salihah Woman (Pious Woman)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 19:17:00 +0700

From 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn 'Ash, that the Prophet SAW said : "The world is jewelry and the best jewelry is a woman who is sholehah" (Narrated by Muslim).

A man who is wise and clever certainly craves a wife candidate, a woman who he believes can make him happy. He's not going to plunge himself into the trap of a woman who can make a weary life, bone-dry of compassion, and filled with issues and problems that make them feel unhappy.

Instead, he will try to get a cool woman seen by the eyes, gently stroked, accompanying him with great affection and love, dampening the anger and turmoil that brought from outside the home, and able to educate their children to be obedient and pleasant child. That is sholehah woman, the craving and desire of each man.

Main characteristics of Salihah Wife
Then, what are the main features of a wife who salihah? Prophet Muhammad PBUH explained as follows : "Would you, if I tell you about the best property owned by someone? Namely shalehah woman, a fun if viewed, who obeys him if asked to, who can keep herself if left to go" (Narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Hakim from Umar)

In another hadith, Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah asked "how is the best woman?" He replied: "If she is seen by the eyes always fun, if she ruled always obedient, and not at odds, against the case that he hated when happening to her (wife) or his property (husband)".

From the above hadith, it is mentioned at least 3 characteristics of a salihah woman (salihah wife), such as :

1. Enjoyable if viewed.
Not necessarily beautiful for a woman to please those who see her. If her soul is filled with sincerity, trust and believe that God will take care of as long as she obey, her heart is full of good presumptions (husnudzon), then her inner will emit signals of affection touches the hearts of people who look at her without causing any bad intentions. That is Qurratu 'Ain, the term from Al-Qur'an for the wives and children who are pious, who become the conditioning to the husband's or father's eyes. Again, not a physical beauty that is fun to look at, but inner beauty.

2. Obey if she is ordered to
A wise man does not treat his wife like a maid or servant. So it is the wrong attitude and assumption of the "husbands association" who in the name of religion, wants the obedience from a wife, like a subordinate obedience to the superiors, or labor to the employer. Obedience meant is obedience that is proportional for a wife and a respectable housewife. A husband who asks his wife to make her hand-made, so it is fair and must be obeyed. But if the husband asks his wife to mop and clean the house although they have or able to pay the maid, the demanded obedience is the obedience which is excessive.

3. Keeping the trust of the household when left to go
The Trust (Amanah) that must be kept by a woman for her husband is none other than the honor of herself, her husband's estate, and her children. Sometimes this becomes something heavy for a woman.Occasionally, due to a task, a husband must go out of town or abroad for some time. This is where the temptation is hard for a woman. If she is able to maintain the trust, then this is the profile of women of Paradise.

And thou, O Muslim women, be a wife who salihah for your husband. Be a loving mother to your children, and be a dutiful son to your parents. And you will live in the world respectable, and become an idol in the Hereafter.

Story of Prophet Noah Alayhis Salaam (Part III)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 14:20:00 +0700

Prophet Noah Made a Ship
After receiving God's command to make a ship, immediately Noah began to gather his followers and they began collecting the materials necessary for that purpose, then to take place outside, rather far from the city and its crowds. they diligently and persistently worked day and night completing the building of the ship commanded. Although Noah had been away from the city and its people in order to work in peace without disturbance to finish building his ship, but he still heard the taunts and insults from his people who by chance or deliberately passed the place where he built the ship.

They mock and ridicule by saying: " O Noah! Since when you have become a carpenter and shipbuilder? Are not you a prophet and apostle according to your confession, why now become a carpenter and shipbuilder? And the ship that you make is in a place far away from water. Do you mean the ship will be pulled by buffalo or do you expect the wind will pull your ship into the sea?” And all the ridicule that is received by the Prophet Noah was answered coldly and smiled as he replied: "Let 's wait time comes, if you now mock and make fun of us, it will come the time for us to mock you, and ye shall know to what we have prepared it. Wait time for the punishment of Allah befall upon you".

After finishing shipbuilding which is the first marine transportation equipment in the world, Noah received a revelation from God: " Ready - prepared you are with your boat, when my orders come, and if you see the signs from me, then immediately transport in your boat with you and your kin, and bring two pairs of each type of creature on earth and sail with my permission" Then the rushing water falling from the sky and out of the earth. and in a trice has occurred a great flood swept through towns and villages, flooding the low land and high to reach the top of the hills, so there is no shelter from the heavy flood except Noah's boat that had been filled with believers and couples being rescued by Noah at God's command.

When Noah is above the deck of a ship, see the weather and see the unbelievers of his people were lying on the surface of the water, suddenly He saw his eldest son's body called "Kan'aan", arise drowned being played by the waves, which are not merciful to people who are receiving the punishment of God. At that moment, without realizing it, there arose a feeling of love and affection of a father to his biological son who are in a state of anxious face of death swallowed up the waves.

Noah spontaneously, encouraged by the small inner voice shouting with all his voice calling his son: “O my son! Come over here and join with your family. Please forgiveness to God and believe in Him, for thou safe and avoid the danger of death” Kan'aan, son of Prophet Noah, who got lost and had been exposed to seduction of devil and incitement of his people who were arrogant and stubborn, refusing the his father invitation with words that resist: "Let me and go, stay away from me, I'm not willing to take refuge on top of your boat deck I will be able to save myself with a shelter on the hill that will not be reached by this flood"

Prophet Noah said: " Believe that the only thing that can save you is to join us on this ship. there is nobody who can escape from the punishment of God that has been inflicted upon you except those who acquire His grace and forgiveness" After Noah's utter the words, Kan'aan struck by a wave of vicious and he fled away from the eye of his father, sank under the ocean water to follow his friends and the rebellious dignitaries.

Noah grieved and mourned the death of his son in a state of non-believers. He was complaining and cry to God : "My Lord, my son is my flesh and blood and is a portion of the family and Thy promise is indeed true, and Thou art powerful. Allah said unto him:" O Noah! Surely he's not your son, he is not including your family, because he has deviated from invitation, violating orders, refusing your da’wah, and follow in the footsteps of people who disbelieve”

Prophet Noah realized his mistake after receiving a warning from God that love affection to his son has made him forget God's promises and threats against infidels, including his own son. then the prophet Noah cried out : " O my Lord I seek refuge in You from the accursed devil temptation, forgive my negligence and mistakes so I ask you something I do not know. so I ask you something I do not know. My Lord if you do not give mercy and grace for me, I would have become the losers"

After the floodwaters peaked, and the pagan folk of Noah perished in accordance with the will and law of God, then the flood was receding absorbed by the earth, Then Prophet Noah’s ship stopped on the hill "Judie". Then God commanded Noah "Come down to the ground, O Noah, you and the believers with you safely”.

Lessons From the Story of Noah Alayhis Salaam
That the relationship between humans that exists because of equation of trust, or naming aqeedah and the establishment is tighter and more memorable than the relationship because of ties of blood or birth. Kan'aan that although he is the biological child of Noah excluded from the numbers by God Almighty, because he adheres to belief and religion are different from what was adopted and taught by his own father, even he was in hostile and opposing parties.

So in this sense can be understood the word of God in the Quran which meant: "Truly the believers are brothers" Similarly hadith Rasulullah SAW means "It is not perfect one's faith unless he loves for his brother who believed as he loves himself". Also proverb which says: " Sometimes you acquire a brother who was not born by your mother".

Prophet Noah Alayhis Salaam was despair with His people
Prophet Noah Alayhis Salaam was in the midst of his people for nine hundred and fifty years. He delivered the message of God, invites them to leave idolatry and return to worship and pray to Allah the Almighty to lead them out of a false path and dark to the right path and the light, teach them about the laws of Shari'a and the religion revealed by God to him, lift the human dignity of the oppressed and the weak to the level appropriate to the nature (qudrat) and try to eliminate the arrogant nature inherent in the hearts of the princes of his people and educate them to Compassionate, mutual help between fellow human beings.

But in a long time, the Prophet Noah was not successful to sensitize and encourage his people to follow and accept his message, except for a small group of folk who do not reach a hundred people, although he has done all his efforts and hard-power energy with patience, difficulties and, taunts and insults faced, because he expects will come a time when his people will realize and recognize the truth and the truth of his message. Noah's Hope turned out increasingly reduced and that the rays of faith and piety will not penetrate into the hearts of those who have been sealed by the teachings and promptings of the devil.

Then he pleaded to God to give punishment to his people while exclaiming: " O Allah! Do not you let one of the infidels was alive and living on this earth. They will try to mislead Thy slaves, if you let them live and they will not give birth but children sinner and children who disbelieve "

Noah's Prayer fulfilled by God and he no longer questioning his people, for they shall receive the punishment of God, namely dead drowned.

Story of Prophet Noah Alayhis Salaam (Part I)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 01:15:00 +0700

Noah was the fourth prophet after Adam, Syith and Idris. He was The Prophet Adam's ninth descendant. His father was Lamik Metusyalih bin Idris.

Noah Preaches to his people (Da'wah)
Noah received a revelation from God in the prophetic era "Fatrah" the distance between the two apostles in which humans usually gradually forget religion brought by the Previous Prophet who left them and returned to be shirk and leave good deeds, do bad deeds and disobedience under the leadership of Satan.

And when Noah came in the midst of them, they were worshiping idols. Idols are statues made by their own hands, then they worship them as gods who can bring good and the benefits and reject all misery and misfortune. They believed that the idols which they made as a god has the strength and supernatural powers. They gave the names to the idols in turns according to the will and taste of their ignorance. Sometimes they give names to their idols "Wadd" and "Suwa" sometimes "Yaguts" and when They were bored with that name, then they changed the name of the statues with "Yatuq" and "Nasr".

Noah preached to his people who had far astray by the devil, the Prophet Noah asked them to leave the polytheism and idolatry and back to Tawheed (worship of God only), to implement the teachings of the religion revealed to him and leave bad deeds and disobedience taught by Devil and Satan.

Noah attract the attention of his people to see the universe created by God, such as: sky, sun, moon and stars that adorn, the earth with riches that exist above and below it, the plants and flowing water that gives enjoyment of life for humans, replacement of night into day and vice versa. It became evident that there is a God to be worshiped. And not the idols which they made with their own hands. In addition, Noah also preached to them that there would be a reply to be received by humans over all deeds in the world, it is heaven for the practice of virtue and hell for all violations of religious orders, which form bad deed and disobedience.

Noah is given the prophetic nature of God, eloquent and firm in her words, wise and patient in its practices, carrying out God’s message to his nation with great patience and wisdom, knocked on the conscience of his people by way of the meek and sometimes with sharp words and harsh tone when dealing with dignitaries of his people who were stubborn and reluctant to accept the evidence presented to them.

But even though Noah has tried maximum to preach to his people with all the wisdom, skill and patience and in every occasion, day or night, by whispering or openly and publicly, it was only a few of his kind who can accept his message and follow the invitation, which according to some sources, not exceeding one hundred people. They also consist of people who are poor and low social strata. While the wealthy people, the honorable and dignitary people, dignitaries and authorities remain defiant, They didn’t trust in prophet Noah and didn’t want to abandon their religion and their belief in their idols, they even tried to conduct conspiracy to cripple and to make the mission of Prophet Noah failed.

They said to Noah: " Are not you just a no different than us and with us as human beings. If the true God will send a messenger who brings His command, surely He will send an angel that we should listen to his words and follow the invitation and not the ordinary people like you that can only be followed by people who are socially stratified low as workers, farmers, people who do not earn. They are like garbage. Your Followers are people who do not have the thought and intelligence, they follow you in blind and deaf, without thinking and considering whether your invitation is true or not. If you bring religion and the teachings that you convey to us is true, surely we who follow you in advance and not the people who beg. we as community leaders who are good at thinking, has intelligence and a broad view and is respected by the community as leaders, it is not easy for us to accept your invitation and your da'wah. You do not have excess than us about the social problems. we are much smarter and more aware than you about it. Our presumption against you, that you are mere liars".

Prophet Noah answered his people taunt, "Are you thinking that I can force you to follow my teaching or to think that I have the power to make you people who believe if you still refuse my invitation and remain blind-deaf to the clear proofs of my da'wah and still keep the error inspired by pride and arrogance of your positions and property you have. I'm just a man who got the mandate and given the task by God to convey His message to you. If you remain obstinate and do not want to go back to the right path and accept the religion of Allah. It is Allah who will decide his sentence towards you. I'm just His slaves and messengers who were ordered to convey his message to His servants. He is the ruling gives guidance to you and forgive you your sins or reduce his punishment and torture upon you all. He is also a ruling giving his torment in the world or postpone it until the Day of Judgement. He is Allah, The creator of this universe, Almighty, All-Knowing, compassionate and most merciful".

They provide the terms to the prophet Noah, by saying: "O Noah! If you want us to follow you and give support and encouragement to you and to the religion that you bring, then put away your followers consisting of those farmers, laborers and servant. Expel them from your life because we can not get along with them sitting side by side with them following their ways and join them in a religion and belief. And how can we accept one religion which generalize the nobles with ordinary people, rulers and magnifying with their workers and the rich man with the poor "

Noah rejected the requirements given by his people and said: " Treatise and religion that I carry are for all people without exception, that clever or stupid, rich or poor, employer or union, the nobles or ordinary people, all of them have a position and the same place to religion and the law of God.

If I accept your terms and get rid of the loyal retainers, then who can I expect to continue my da’wah and how I have the heart to alienate those who already believe from me, they receive my invitation with confidence and sincerity in the moment you reject it, people who have helped me in my job at times you hinder my efforts and impede my da’wah. And how I can account for the eviction action to Allah. Verily ye are the people who are not stupid and wicked”

Finally, because they feel no longer able to deny the truth of the words of the Prophet Noah and feel out of reasons to continue the dialogue with him, then they say: "O Noah! We have a lot of debate, dialogue and listening to your boring invitation. We still will not follow you and will not abandon the belief and customs of us so there is no use for you to repeat your invitation. bring doom that you promised if you truly are people who keep their promises and words. We want to see the truth of your words and threat. Because we still do not trust you and remain dubious your da’wah"

The Most Precious People in The Sight of Allah are Those who are The Most Pious

All Humans are descended from one male and one female, whether a believer, an infidel, a white, black, Arab, non-Arab, rich, poor, glorious, or the despicable.

Islam does not consider differences in skin color, sex, or ancestry. All are descendants of Adam, and Adam was created from clay. Something that distinguishes them all is Islam, faith and piety, by doing what is commanded by Allah and away from what is forbidden by Him. Allah says "O mankind! we created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and Tribes, that ye may know Each other (Not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the Most honoured of you In the sight of Allah is (He who is) the Most righteous of you. and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)”. (Surat Al-Hujuraat, verse 13)

All human beings in the view of Islam have the same rights and obligations. All men are equal in God's eyes, whether black, white, Arab, non-Arab, the rich, the poor, the noble, or the despicable, if they implement what is commanded by Allah, then Allah will give reward to them all. Allah says “Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, to Him will we give a new life, a life that is good and pure and we will bestow on their reward according to the best of their actions”. (Sura An- Nahl, verse 97)

Faith, piety and honesty are all in Heaven, heaven is the right for those who do it all, even though he's the most vulnerable human beings or the most despicable human beings. Allah says “an Messenger, who rehearses to you the Signs of Allah Containing Clear explanations, that He may lead forth those who believe and do righteous deeds from the depths of darkness into light. and those who believe In Allah and work righteousness, He will admit to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: Allah has indeed granted for them a Most excellent provision”. (Surat Ath-Thalaaq, verse 11)

Infidel, arrogant and immoral all be in hell, though they are doing it is the richest man and most respected in the world. Allah says "But those who reject Faith and treat Our Signs As falsehoods, They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein for aye: and evil is that Goal”. (Surat At-Taghaabun, verse 10)

The Apostle of Allah has been to unite the friends who come from diverse ethnic and social strata. Abu Bakr Siddiq of the tribe of Quraish, Ali ibn Abi Talib, from the tribe Hasyimy, Bilal from Abyssinia tribe, Shahib from the Roman tribe, Salman from the tribe of the Persians, Uthman was the rich, Ammir was an indigent and others. Their hearts were filled with Tawhid (monotheism), The faith and piety have brought them together.

Allah Knows Everything

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 6 Jun 2011 20:42:00 +0700

Allah is All-Knowing, He knows everything, nothing is hidden from Him nothing in heaven and on earth, whether in the form of words, deeds, one that moves, something that dwells or obedience or disobedience. Allah says “Knowest Thou not that Allah knows all that is In heaven and on earth? indeed it is all In a Record, and that is easy for Allah”. (Qur'an Surah Al-Hajj, verse 70)

Allah has knowledge of all things with His knowledge, Allah wrote everything in Lauhul Mahfudz. Allah says “In whatever business Thou mayest be, and whatever portion Thou mayest be reciting from the Qur'an,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- we are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. nor is hidden from Thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or In heaven. and not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded In a Clear record”. (Qur'an Surah Yunus, verse 61)

Only Allah who knows all things supernatural, He knows everything that is in heaven and on earth. Allah says “He said: "O Adam! Tell them their natures." when He had told them, Allah said: "Did I not Tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?". (Qur'an Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 33)

Only Allah knows when the coming of The Day of Judgement, when the rain, he knows what's in the womb, knows human actions and knows the place and time of arrival of death. Allah says “Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (alone). it is He who Sends down rain, and He who knows what is In the wombs. nor does any one know what it is that He will earn on the morrow: nor does any one know In what land He is to die. Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things)”. (Qur'an Surah Luqman, verse 34)

Allah Almighty is always with us and nothing of our affairs is hidden from Him. Allah said “He it is who created the heavens and the earth In six days, and is Moreover firmly established on the Throne (of authority). He knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it. and He is with you wheresoever ye may be. and Allah sees well all that ye do”. (Qur'an Surah Al-Hadiid, verse 4)

Allah knows us and knows all our actions both good and bad, then Allah will show all the charitable deeds to us and give us a reward for all the action on the Day of Resurrection. Allah said “Seest Thou not that Allah doth know (all) that is In the heavens and on earth? there is not a secret consultation between three, but He makes the fourth among them, - nor between five but He makes the sixth,- nor between fewer nor more, but He is In their midst, wheresoever They be: In the end will He Tell them the truth of their conduct, on the Day of Judgment. for Allah has full knowledge of all things”. (Qur'an Surah Al-Mujadilah, 7)

Islam is a religion of love, religion filled with ease. Allah will not burden the people except by what is able to do, and no good deeds unless there is a reward, as there is no bad deed but there is sin, as Allah said “on no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. it gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which Thou Didst Lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out Our sins, and grant us Forgiveness. have Mercy on us. Thou art Our Protector; help us against those who stand against faith". (Sura Al-Baqarah, verse 286)

Allah has eliminate the difficulties and the narrowness of the Muslims in all the tasks assigned to them, Allah said “and strive In His cause As ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you In religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. it is He who has named you Muslims, both before and In This (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! so establish regular prayer, give regular charity, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector - the best to protect and the best to help!” (Sura Al-Hajj, verse 78)

Every sin done by a Muslim due to mistake or forget or forced then it would be forgiven by Allah, which is calculated from a Muslim is a deliberate act and not done by mistake, as Allah said “Call them by (the names of) their fathers: that is juster In the sight of Allah. but if ye know not their father's (names, call them) your brothers In Faith, or your maulas. but there is no blame on you if ye make a mistake therein: (what counts is) the intention of your hearts: and Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful”. (Sura Al-Ahzab, verse 5)

Allah is compassionate, the Merciful, for that comes Muhammad peace be upon him to make ease. Allah said “Ramadhan is the (month) In which was sent down the Qur'an, As a guide to mankind, also Clear (Signs) for guidance and Judgment (Between right and wrong). so every one of you who is present (at His home) during that month should spend it In fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not Want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him In that He has guided you; and Perchance ye shall be grateful”. (Sura Al-Baqarah, verse 185).

The Command to Seek Knowledge in Islam

God created human beings by providing them the means of science and knowledge in the form of hearing, sight and sense, as the word of Allah “It is He who brought you forth from the wombs of your when ye knew nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and that ye may give thanks (to Allah)”. (Qur’an Sura An-Nahl, verse 78)

Islam is a religion that respects science and knowledge, therefore the first verse revealed to Prophet Muhammad SAW is the verse that commands to read. Reading is the key to unlock the treasures of science. Allah says “Proclaim! (or read!) In the name of Thy Lord and Cherisher (1), who created, Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed Blood (2), Proclaim! and Thy Lord is Most Bountiful (3), He who taught (the use of) the pen (4), Taught man that which He knew not (5)”. (Qur’an Sura Al-Alaq, verse 1-5)

God forbid any Muslim to say or do something without any knowledge about it. Allah says “And pursue not that of which Thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning)”. (Qur’an Sura Al-Israa, verse 36)

As a compliment to the position of science and the knowledgeable people, god explains the dignity of people knowledgeable in their statement about the oneness of God. Allah says “There is no god but He: that is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. there is no god but He, the Exalted In power, the wise”. (Qur’an Sura Ali-Imran, verse 18)

God praise the knowledgeable people, because they are the ones who can receive the lesson. Allah says “Is one who worships devoutly during the Hour of the night prostrating Himself or standing (in adoration), who takes heed of the Hereafter, and who places His hope In the Mercy of His Lord - (Like one who does not)? say: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? it is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition”. (Qur’an Sura Az-Zumar, verse 9)

people who have knowledge are the fastest class to know and trust the truth. Allah says “And that those on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Qur'an) is the truth from Thy Lord, and that They may believe therein, and their hearts may be made humbly (open) to it: for Verily Allah is the guide of those who believe, to the straight way”. (Qur’an Sura Al-Hajj, verse 54)

Islam recommends Muslims to seek knowledge. Messenger of Allah made it compulsory for every Muslim to seek knowledge, he explained that the primacy of the knowledgeable people compared with those who always do worship is like the moon against the stars in the sky, and in fact the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, the prophets are not even bequeath property nor money but they bequeath knowledge, then anyone who has knowledge meant he had to have something more valuable than wealth. Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: "Anyone on the path to study, God will make it easier for him the path to heaven" (Hadith Bukhari, No.10).
