2011-02-03T22:08:00.000-08:00

Brought in an Islamic family is yearning and aspirations of each Muslim. But to get to the highest dignity and glory, the various factors into consideration while determining the future orientation. The family is the smallest unit in society consisting of father, mother and child. The family became "a true garden of love" children in the formation of the potential, talent, character and personality traits.

Parental love is unconditional of all time and is a pure love in raising and educating their children. Pure love it is the ability of parents to love and be loved by unselfish and without taking into account social rewards.

Islamic law provides the demarcation line that every Muslim is obliged to establish and maintain good Islamic family. The family of a harmonious, happy, prosperous and unseen, living quiet serene, peaceful and loving (sakinah mawaddah, warahmah) according to instructions the Koran and the Prophet Muhammad exemplary household. Married life is a Sunnah of the Prophet as well as enhancements to the value of worship. The Prophet said: "If a servant has a family, it means that he has perfected half of the practice of religious teachings, then the fear of God against the other half

The purpose of family life is not simply legitimize a sexual relationship of two different sexes, but more is to produce quality offspring by considering several aspects, creating a calm life of the world. Through the family, there was a mechanism to maintain the existence of life in order to continue the regeneration of mankind on earth. Allah says: "Among the signs of God's power is created for you spouses of your neighbor's life so that you find rest and placed his affection among you. Indeed such was the power of God's signs for those who think. " (Ar-Rum, verse 21)

Modern society, particularly Muslims, was dragged by the further development of civilization. Oriental traditional religious values following the once proud, now faded, faded due to the fragility of the fortress of faith and cultural censorship of imported institutions, non-Islamic lifestyle that global. Even in the field of religion is quite sacred ones. As views on the meaning of a marriage or family, are experiencing a shift in values and underestimate the significance, as if impressed that the wedding reception for example, only to squander the money in a ceremonial and formality, with no amount of worship was built, developed and preserved. No longer meaningful as an expression of light towards spiritual elevation ark Islamic household

Life now has tinged mindset that completely practical, simple and instant, More details can be seen some changes in attitudes and views of modern society on the meaning of marriage or family that has changed drastically in this period,

So we all decide to stay, what kind of family that we want in the future. let us antisipai to return to the basic ideas that marriage is not only to justify sexual relations, but also to establish an Islamic family, maintain and nurture generations of human existence Kurani. During this mindset that says "a lot of kids a lot of luck" should be interpreted and translated into many children in accordance with the provision that the child's ability to achieve this. In realizing that families of high and noble dignity.

The family is the "land nursery" noble values for the entire race. We must be able to put the family as a source of strength in building the morality of a sovereign nation. Today's modern century life quite different to his previous life. Challenges, trials, obstacles and the threat of increasingly complex and diverse. So obligatory for us, that to establish an Islamic family in the modern era is not easy and lightweight, but require sacrifice and struggle at the same time requires discipline, mental readiness, resilience faith in accordance with Quran and Sunnah

Hopefully we will not surrender to face the situation and conditions At present, no demoralization drifted, so that we can create an Islamic family in order to create lasting peace and tranquility on Earth.
Amen

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

2011-01-30T14:42:00.000-08:00

THE CONCEPT OF ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD

" The Believers are a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy."

"O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are "(indeed) doing wrong.
Al-Hujraat : 10 - 11

All Muslims are brothers. Therefore, if a fight they must unite again and brothers as usual. This is reinforced by the prohibition of the Prophet Muhammad to the enmity between Muslims. Abu Ayyub al-Anshary narrated that the Messenger of Allah said, "Not a Muslim decides kinship with other Muslims over three nights each of which when met each other away. The best among them is the start saying hello to the others. "(Bukhari and Muslim)

Brotherhood is not intended by geneologi ties, but by bonds of faith and religion. This is hinted at in Allah ban people who are not Muslims pray after their deaths. Word of God Almighty: "Nor should the prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness (of Allah SWT) for the polytheists, idolaters even though it is relative." (At-Tauba: 113)

This in no way means that a Muslim is allowed to ignore his family ties with relatives although non-Muslims. Giving priority to the Islamic brotherhood is more than the others and did not affect blood ties, even with non-Muslim relatives.Prophet of Islam emphasize the importance of building brotherhood within the practical constraints in the form of caring and helping each other. For example, he said, "Allah Almighty to help His servant as long as the servant helps his brother" (H.R.Muslim)

The third pillar of Islam, zakaat, is a duty for the rich or relatively rich to give up some of their annual savings to poor people, is a manifestation of social and economic responsibility of brotherhood. Because, although the generosity highly recommended by Islam as a religion which by others, this responsibility in Islam institutionalized and levied by the state to ensure the economic viability of the poor. Actually, all the economic laws of Islam has always stressed the protection of the rights of brotherhood. Economic practices that in some way benefit or harm members of the community members are forbidden hard. So the loan is recognized in Islam is a loan without interest, for loans with interest rates generally take unfair advantage of others.

The Authenticity principles of Islamic brotherhood which includes all the religious rites and laws of Islam have been and continue to be a key factor in attracting people all over the world to convert to Islam.The weakness that hit the Muslim life today, ranging from the collapse of the Islamic state until the decline of Islamic countries that have become part of the third world, is one of the most obvious indication of a declining sense of brotherhood among Muslims themselves. The divisions among the people who have the interests of groups involved to destroy the pillars of Islamic brotherhood. So the key word to be able to enforce Islam in the entire universe, is to strengthen brotherhood among Muslims and get rid of far-away feeling ta'asubiyah (group), and full conviction that nationalism is not from our part at al.

The Dawn, Daybreak

2011-01-17T01:11:00.000-08:00

In these verses Allah swears by dawn, the dawn of time after the emergence of light which ended the night and the beggining of afternoon (when the sun was rises), when there are some circumstances, such as humans, animals, and the birds get ready to find the sustenance that God gave them will . The night that ten is the last ten nights of Ramadan and some say the first ten of Muharram Ashura including, some say that it is ten ten night the first night in the month Dhul-Hijjah.

That God favors bestowed on him His servant occur with a change of day and night through the even and odd as well as seasonal changes, that with these changes there is an infinite benefit. oath a true and acceptable by the people who understand on it.

God revealed in the form of a question that if they do not know about the destruction and misery of the `Ad, namely population Iram, the capital city of the` Ad, which has tall buildings, which have never been there in a another city at that time and the Samud which cut large stones in the valley where they lived to build palaces and majestic buildings, and some are punching holes in the mountains for shelter and shelter.

God explains that He does not glorify someone by giving him abundant wealth nor insulting someone by making them poorer, because a person is to glorify God by obeying Him and humiliate a person is, because of sin in itself. He gives someone a lot of property is to test, whether he be grateful or otherwise he favors infidel. He gave one of poverty is to test whether he remained patient trial or be rebellious because God upon him that. In this verse Allah turned their bad deeds railed.

Poor insult their actions by explaining that in fact they did not glorify orphans because they do not give rights of orphans, and do not do good to them.

SHADAQAH

2011-01-03T13:48:00.000-08:00

Sadaqah or Saddka is an Islamic term that means "voluntary charity". Sadaqah/Saddka on Quran:

Have you seen the one who denies the Religion? Such is he who repulses the orphan, and who does not urge others to feed the poor. Woe to worshippers, who are absent-minded to their prayer, those who make a show (of piety), and refuse to render small acts of kindness (towards others).(Al-Ma`un 107: 1-7)

And spend something (in charity) out of the substance which We have bestowed on you, before Death should come to any of you and he should say, “O my Lord! Why didst Thou not give me respite for a little while? I should then have given (largely) in charity, and I should have been one of the doers of good.” But to no soul will Allah grant respite when the time appointed (for it) has come; and Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. (Al-Munafiqun 63: 10-11)

Saddka should be given solely out of love for God, out of the desire to do good to His creation, as the Quran says about the righteous:"They give food, out of love for Him (Allah), to the poor, the orphan, and the slave, saying: We feed you only for Allah's pleasure - we desire from you neither reward nor thanks." (Qur’an76:8,9)

Giving Saddka will not diminish a Muslim's wealth. It serves as expiation for sins and yields rewards in the next life. Allah says: "For those who give in charity, men and women, and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and they shall have (besides) a liberal reward."(Qur'an 57:18).

The legitimacy of giving sadaqah other than that of Zakat is not restricted by a time limit or definite nisab. The amount designated for expenditure need not be a certain percentage (for example, a tithe, a one-quarter tithe, or a one-tenth tithe). It is an open-ended matter that is left to the beneficence, generosity, and condition of the one who gives. The protection of a revered (muhtaram) man from destruction and harm is an obligation upon whoever can help him, but more than that, it is left unquantified. People overlook most of the public rights which the Qur'an supports, for these rights seek to establish an honorable and just social life. People spend only a smalI amount on the needy and even less for beggars because they are considered the least deserving nowadays. This is due to the fact that beggars have made begging a profession (hirfah), even though most of them are well-to-do. Ibn Hazm says: "It is enjoined upon the rich of every country to support their poor, and the ruler has the authority to force them to do so. This is called for when the prescribed Zakat or the holdings of other Muslims are not enough to meet the needs of the poor. In that case, their food and their clothing to protect them from the elements and the eyes of the passer-by would be provided by the rich." The proof for this is in the saying of Allah, the Exalted One: "Give the kinsman his due, and the needy, and the wayfarer" [al-Isra' 26]. Allah also says: "[Show] kindness to parents, to near kin and orphans, to the needy, to relatives, to neighbors who are not related to you, to fellow travelers and wayfarers, and [to the slaves] whom your right hand possesses" [an-Nisa' 36]. Generosity urges support for the above-mentioned people and forbids harming them. Referring to the guilty in the life to come, the Qur'an says that they would ask each other: "What brought you to this hellfire?" They will answer: "We were not of those who prayed, nor did we feed the needy" [al-Muddaththir 42-44]. Thus, Allah links feeding the needy with performing prayers. According to the following hadith, related by authentic sources, the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "He who does not have mercy upon people, Allah's mercy will be kept from him." Anyone upon whom Allah bestowed His grace and who sees his Muslim brother hungry, in need of clothes, and miserable, and still does not help him, he will, indeed, deprive himself of Allah's mercy.

'Uthman an-Nahdi reported that 'Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr as-Siddiq informed him that the companions of as-Saffah were poor and that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "He who has enough food for two, let him invite a third, and he who has food for four, let him invite a fifth or a sixth." It is related from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "A Muslim is a brother of another, and he should neither do injustice to him nor betray him." Thus, anyone who lets a needy Muslim go without food or clothes while, in fact, he is able to feed and clothe him would have betrayed him. It is related from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "He whose holdings exceed his needs, let him support the one whose holdings do not, and he whose food exceeds his needs, let him share it with him who does not have food." Abu Sa'id al-Khudri says: "Then he mentioned so many kinds of property that we thought no one of us had the right to have anything surplus with us." his is the consensus of the companions, as it was reported by Abu Sa'id alKhudri. Concerning this tradition, it is reported on the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: "Feed the hungry, visit the sick, and ransom the prisoner." There are many 'ayahs in the Qur'an and numerous sound hadith on this subject. 'Umar says: "If I were to live again the past which I have already lived, I would take the surplus from the rich and distribute it among the poor immigrants (mujhajirun)." This is considered to be the most authentic report. 'Ali said: "Allah, the Exalted One, has placed a due upon the properties of the rich to meet the needs of the poor. Thus, if the poor go hungry or naked or struggle because of the neglect of the rich, then Allah will hold them [the rich] accountable on the Day of Judgment and will punish them." Ibn 'Umar is reported to have said: "There is a due on your property other than Zakat." It is related from 'Aishah (the mother of the believers), al-Hasan ibn 'Ali, Ibn 'Umar that all of them replied to those who had asked them: "If you are asked for help in cases of blood money, heavy debt, or desperate poverty, then it is a must for you to give them from your holdings."

It was accurately reported by Abu 'Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah and 300 companions that (once) when their provisions had run very low, Abu 'Ubaidah ordered them to collect what was left and place it into two bags and then allot it to each one equally. Then he said: "It is not permissible for a hard-pressed Muslim to eat the meat of a dead animal or a pig when he can find surplus food from either a Muslim or a dhimmi. It is an obligation of the one who has food to feed the hungry." This has the consensus among the companions, and there are no contrary views concerning it. It was accurately reported from ashShu'bi, Mujahid, Tawus, and others that: "There is a due on property other than Zakat." If such is the case, then a hard-pressed person is not forced to eat the meat of dead animals or pigs. He has the right to fight for it and, if he is killed, then retaliation by killing (qawad) will be imposed upon the killer. If the property holder who prevents him from receiving his due is killed, then may he have the curse of Allah upon him because he withheld a right (haqq), and he will be regarded as being among the unjust. Allah, the Exalted One, says: "And if one party of them does wrong to the other, fight those who do wrong until they return to the ordinance of Allah." Thus, one who withholds a right is an oppressor of his brother. The latter is the possessor of that right. On this basis, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq waged war against those who refused to pay their Zakat. From the preceding, one can see the degree of compassion and commiseration that Islam has for the deprived. Islam, in fact, excels over all other faiths and systems. They are like weak, sputtering candles when placed next to the bright and steady light of the sun of Islam. The Insolvent Debtor Whoever has property must pay its proper Zakat. If the property is indebted, he may first pay off his debt, then in case the remainder is enough to constitute a nisab, he must pay Zakat. If he does not hold the nisab, he does not have to pay it since he is poor. The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "Only the wealthy are required to give charity." This hadith is related by Ahmad and al-Bukhari. The latter records it in mu'allaq form. The Prophet also said: "Zakat is levied on the rich and paid to the poor." It is all the same, whether he is indebted to Allah or to man, because one hadith states: "Allah's debt is more deserving of fulfillment.

Islamic Sharia

2011-01-01T10:51:00.000-08:00

Islamic Sharia is Islamic law and the rules that govern all life aspects of humanity, whether Muslim or non Muslim. In addition to containing the laws and rules, Islamic Law also contains a problem solving throughout life. So by some adherents of Islam, Islamic Law is a comprehensive guide and complete all problems of human life and the life of this world.

Related to the orderly arrangement of Shari'ah, God Said in Quran Surah Al Ahzab verse 36 :

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلالا مُبِينًا (٣

"And it is not inappropriate for a believing man and not (also) for a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have set up a provision, there will be for those options (the others) about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger His And indeed He has been misguided, misguided real."

The above verse teaches that if Allah and His Apostle have decided a case, then Muslims are not allowed to take other provisions. Therefore, it is implicitly understood that if there is a case that Allah and His Messenger has not set its requirements then Muslims can decide that its provisions. Understanding the meaning is supported by the verse in Surat Al Maidah :101 which states that things are not explained its provisions already forgiven by God.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ وَإِنْ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْهَا حِينَ يُنَزَّلُ الْقُرْآنُ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْهَا وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ (١٠١"

"O ye who believe, do not you ask (to your Prophet) matters which, if described to you will trouble you, and if you ask at the time the Quran was revealed, will undoubtedly be explained to you, God forgive (you) about things it. Allah is Forgiving, Clement."

Principle of Personality

That is the case that already exist and clear provisions in the Qur'an or Al Hadith. Position as the principal Islamic Shari'ah which the Holy Quran is the First Principle of Personality 'and Al Hadith that the Second Principle of Personality'. Nature, essentially tying the Muslims all over the world wherever located, since the Prophet Muhammad's ministry until the end of time, except in emergencies.
Emergencies in terms of Islamic religion is defined as a state that allows Muslims do not obey Islamic law, is a state of forced or in circumstances that endanger the physical and spiritual self, and the circumstances are unexpected or unwanted before, as well as in take advantage of these circumstances are not excessive. If the emergency was over then immediately returned to the applicable provisions of Shari'ah

Furu 'Personality

That is the case with no or unclear provisions in the Qur'an and Al-Hadith. Position as a Branch of Islamic Shari'ah. Its basically not binding on all Muslims in the world except the local received accept as rules / laws in force in the territory of its power. Sources of Islamic Law :

Quran

Al-Qur'an as the Muslim holy book is the word of Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad SAW to be conveyed to all mankind until the end of time (Saba 'Sura 34:28). As a source of Islamic teachings are also called the first source or the First Principle of Personality '. Al-Quran a holy book down the last of a series of other holy book has ever revealed to the world in an effort to understand the content of Al Quran from time to time have developed interpretations of the contents of the Qur'an but there is no conflicting.

Hadith

are the words and deeds of Prophet Muhammad. Hadith as a source of law in Islam has the second position at a level below the legal sources of the Qur'an. The structure of the hadith is composed of two main components namely sanad / isnads (chain of narrator) and Matan Sanad is the chain of speakers / narrators (narrators) hadith. Sanad is comprised of all speakers ranging from those who record the hadith in his book (book of hadith) until it reaches the Prophet. Sanad, gives authenticity of a history. A word can have several chains with a number of speakers / narrators vary in isnaad layer, layer in a chain called thaqabah. The significance of the number of chains and speakers in each thaqabah chains will determine the degree of the Hadith, this is explained further in the classification of hadith.

So that should be observed in understanding the Al Hadeeth is associated with isnaad:

* Wholeness isnaad
* The numbers
* Narrators ultimately

Actually, the use of chains already known since before the arrival of this Islam.Hal applied in the cited books and other sciences. However, the majority of chains used in the application citing the hadiths Nabawi.

Ijtihad is an effort to establish Islamic law based on the Qur'an and Hadith. Ijtihad is done after the Prophet Muhammad had been dead so could not directly ask him about the law but these things can not worship diijtihadkan. Some kind of ijtihad among other

* Ijma ', the consensus of the scholars
* Qiyas, likened to a similar thing and it is clear law
* Maslahah mursalah, to benefit the people
* 'Urf, custom

Does Islam tolerate other beliefs?

2010-12-29T06:35:00.000-08:00

The Quran 60 : Al-Mumtahina [She that is to be Examined, Examining Her] Verse 7 - 9 says :

7. It may be that Allah will grant love (and friendship) between you and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For Allah has power (over all things); And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

8. Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.

9. Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong.

It is one function of Islamic law to protect the privileged status of minorities, and this is why non-Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the Islamic world. History provides many examples of Muslim tolerance towards other faiths: when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem in the year 634, Islam granted freedom of worship to all religious communities in the city.

Islamic law also permits non-Muslim minorities to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.

ABOVE: Mosque of Omar and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem. When the caliph Omar took Jerusalem from the Byzantines, he insisted on entering the city with only a small number of his companions. Proclaiming to the inhabitants that their lives and property were safe, and that their places of worship would never be taken from them, he asked the Christian patriarch Sophronius to accompany him on a visit to all the holy places.

The Patriarch invited him to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but he preferred to pray outside its gates, saying that if he accepted, later generations of Muslims might use his action as an excuse to turn it into a mosque. Above is the mosque built on the spot where Omar did pray.

RIGHT: According to Islam, man is not born in 'original sin'. He is God's vicegerent on earth. Every child is born with the fitra, an innate disposition towards virtue, knowledge, and beauty. Islam considers itself to be the 'primordial religion', din al-hanif, it seeks to return man to his original, true nature in which he is in harmony with creation, inspired to do good, and confirming the Oneness of God.

Solace , Consolation or Relief

2010-12-14T16:34:00.000-08:00

This letter consists of 8 verses, including the group's letters Makkiyah. The name is taken from the word Nature Nasyrah contained in the first paragraph, which means: We would not have been paved.

Principles of contents:
The assertion about the favors of Allah. given to the Holy Prophet, and God's statement that despite difficulty there is relief because it was ordered to the Prophet in order to keep doing good works to Him.

Al-Inshirah [Solace, Consolation, Relief]

1. Have We not expanded thee thy breast?-

2. And removed from thee thy burden

3. The which did gall thy back?-

4. And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?

5. So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

6. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

7. Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,

8. And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.

In this letter Allah states that He has paved the chest of His Prophet and rescue of the confusion that worried him due to ignorance and stubbornness of his people. They do not want to follow the truth, was the Prophet Muhammad. always looking for ways to remove them from the valley of ignorance, so he went to the road to it and to save them from destruction they were experiencing.

That is, God has to clean the soul of the Prophet SAW. of all kinds of anxious feelings, so he is not anxious, not hard and not too upset. Made his always calm and believe God will help and support him and believe that God assigned him as an Apostle at all-time will not help its enemies .

LIFE AFTER DEATH

2010-12-13T01:13:00.000-08:00

In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

The question of whether or not there is life after death does not fall under the field of science, because science is only concerned with the classification and analysis of recorded data. Moreover, man has been busy with scientific enquiries and research, in the modern sense of the term, only for the last few centuries, while he has been familiar with the idea of life after death since times immemorial. All the prophets of God called their people to worship God and to believe in life after death. They laid so much emphasis on the belief in life after death that even a slight doubt in it meant denying God and made all other beliefs meaningless. The very fact that all the prophets of God have dealt with this metaphysical question so xonfidently and uniformly - the gap between their ages being thousands of years - goes to prove that the source of their knowledge of life after death, as proclaimed by them all, was the same, that is, Divine revelation.

We also know that these prophets of God were greatly opposed by their people, mainly on the issue of life after death, as their people thought it impossible. But in spite of that opposition, the prophets won many sincere followers. The question arises, what made those followers forsake the established beliefs, traditions and customs of their forefathers, regardless of the risk of being totally alienated from their own community? The simple answer is that they made use of their faculties of mind and heart and realized the truth.

Did they realize the truth through experiencing it? Not so, as the perceptual experience of life after death is impossible. Actually, God has given man, besides perceptual consciousness, rational, aesthetic and moral consciousness too. It is this consciousness that guides man regarding realities that cannot be verified through sensory data. That is why all the prophets of God, while calling people to believe in God and the life hereafter, appealed to the aesthetic, moral and rational sides of man. For example, when the idolators of Makkah denied even the possibility of life after death, the Qur'an exposed the weakness of their stand by advancing very logical and rational arguments in support of it:

And he has coined for us a similitude,and has forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away? Say: He will revive them who produced them at the first, for He is the Knower of every creation, Who has appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! you kindle from it. Is it not He who created the heavens and the earth, able to create the like of them? Yes, and He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the All-Knowing.

At another occasion, the Qur'an very clearly says that the disbelievers have no sound basis for their denial of life after death. It is based on pure conjectures:

They say, 'There is nothing but our present life; we die, and we live, and nothing but Time destroys us.' Of that they have no knowledge; they merely conjecture. And when Our revelations are recited to them, their only argument is that they say, 'Bring us our father, if you speak truly.' (45:24-25)

Surely God will raise all the dead. but God has His own plan of things. A day will come when the whole universe will be destroyed and then again the dead will be resurrected to stand before God. That day will be the beginning of the life that will never end, and that Day, every person will be rewarded by God according to his good and evil deeds.

The explanation that the Qur'an gives about the necessity of life after death is what the moral consciousness of man demands. Actually, if there is no life after death, the very belief in God becomes irrelevant, or even if one believes in God, that would be an unjust and indifferent God: having once created man only to be unconcerned with his fate. Surely, God is just. he will punish the tyrants whose crimes are beyond count: having killed hundreds of innocent persons, created great corruptions in the society, enslaved numerous persons to serve their whims, and so forth. Man, having a very short span of life in this world, and this physical world, also, not being eternal, punishments or rewards equal to the evil or noble deeds of persons are not possible here. The Qur'an very emphatically states that the Day of Judgement must come and God will decide about the fate of each soul according to his or her record of deeds:

Those who disbelieve say: The Hour willnever come unto us. Say: Nay, by my Lord, but it is coming unto you surely. (He is) the Knower of the Unseen. Not an atom's weight, or less than that or greater, escapes Him in the heavens or in the earth, but it is in a clear Record. That He may reward those who believe and do good works. For them is pardon and a rich provision. But those who strive against our revelations, challenging (Us), theirs will be a painful doom of wrath. (34:3-5)

The Day of Resurrection will be the Day when God's attributes of Justice and Mercy will be in full manifestation. God will shower His mercy on those who suffered for His sake in the worldly life, believing that an eternal bliss was awaiting them. But those who abused the bounties of God, caring nothing for the life to come, will be in the most miserable state. Drawing a comparison between them the Qur'an says:

Is he, then, to whom we have promised a goodly promise the fulfilment of which he will meet, like the one whom We have provided with the good things of this life, and then on the Day of Resurrection he will be of those who will be brought arraigned before God? (28:61)

The Qur'an also states that this worldly life is a preparation for the eternal life after death. But those who deny it become slaves of their passions and desires, and make fun of virtuous and God-conscious persons. Such persons realize their folly only at the time of their death and wish in vain to be given a further chance in the world. Their miserable state at the time of death, and the horror of the Day of Judgement, and the eternal bliss guaranteed to the sincere believers are very beautifully mentioned in the following verses of the Qur'an.

Until, when death comes unto one of them, he says, 'My Lord, send me back, that I may do right in that which I have left behind!' But nay! It is but a word that he speaks; and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised. And when the Trumpet is blown there will be no kinship among them that day, nor will they ask of another. Thenthose whose scales are heavy, they are successful. And those whose scales are light are those who lose their souls, in hell abiding, the fire burns their faces and they are glum therein. (23:99-104)

The belief in life after death not only guarantees succwss in the Hereafter, but also makes this world full of peace and happiness by making individuals most responsible and dutiful in their activities.

Think of the people of Arabia. Gambling, wine, tribal feuds, plundering and murdering were their main traits when they had no belief in a life hereafter. But as soon as they accepted the belief in One God and life after death, they became the most disciplined nation of the world. They gave up their vices, helped eachother in hours of need, and settled all their disputes onthe basis of justice and equality. Similarly, the denial of life after death has its consequences not only in the Hereafter, but also inthis world. When a nation as a whole denies it, all kinds of evils and corruprions become rampant in that society and ultimately it is destroyed. The Qur'an mentions the terrible end of 'Aad, Thamud and the Pharaoh in some detail:

(The tribes of) Thamud and 'Aad disbelieved in the judgement to come. As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning, and as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind, which he imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days, so that you might see the people laid prostrate in it as if they were the stumps of fallen down palm trees.

Now do you see remnant of them? Pharaoh likewise and those before himand the subverted cities. They committed errors and those before him, and they rebelled against the Messenger of their Lord, and He seized them with a surpassing grip. Lo, when the waters rose, We bore you in the running ship that We might make it a reminder for you and for heeding ears to hold. So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast and the earth and the mountains are lifted up and crushed with a single blow, then on that day, the Terror shall come to pass, and the heaven shall be split, for upon that day it shall be very frail. Then as for him who is given his book in his right hand, he shall say 'Here, take and read my book! Certainly I thought that I should encounter my reckoning.' So he shall be in a pleasing life in a lofty garden, its clusters nigh to gather.

Eat and drink with wholesome appetite for what you did long ago, in the days gone by.

But as for him who is given his book in his left hand, he shall say: 'Would that I had not been given my book and known my reckoning! Would it had been the end! My wealth has not availed me, my authority is gone from me.' (69:4-29)

Thus, there are very convincing reasons to believe in life after death.

First, all the prophets of God have called their people to believe in it.

Secondly, whenever a human society is built on the basis of this belief, it has been the most ideal and peaceful socity, free of social and moral evils.

Thirdly, history bears witness that whenever this belief is rejected collectively by a group of people in spit of the repeated warning of the Prophet, the group as a whole has been punished by God, even in this world. Fourthly, moral, aesthetic and rational facilities of man endorse the possiblity of life after death. Fifthly, God's attributes of Justice and Mercy have no meaning if there is no life after death.

The Purpose to Spend Money In The Way Of God

2010-12-10T17:21:00.000-08:00

One of the most important deeds that can clean the dirt of material and spiritual, and as for the spiritual training that one can achieve a high degree of morality that God would be pleased to spend in the way of Allah. God has said to the Prophet. to take charity from the possessions of those believed to cleanse and purify the property.

خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِمْ بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ صَلاتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ (١٠٣

Of their goods, take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth. (Q.s. at-Tauba: 103).
However, the deed to spend treasure that can clean and purify the people is if it is done under the provisions of which have been mentioned in the Koran. People think that they have fulfilled their duty when they give a very little amount of money given to beggars, give old clothes to the poor, or to feed the hungry. No doubt that these acts are acts that will get reward from Allah if his intention to seek pleasure of Allah.

They ask thee what they spend. Say, 'What is more than necessary." Thus God explains His revelations unto you that ye may think. " (Q.s. al-Baqarah: 219).
Humans just need a little to meet the needs of his life in the world. Property outside one's purposes is the excess property. Most important is not the amount given, but whether he gave it willingly or not. God knows everything and He has given to the human conscience to determine the things that are not really necessary. to spend property is a form of worship that is easy for people who are not seized with greed for the world and are not chasing the world, but missed the afterlife. God has commanded us to spend part of our treasure to keep the love of the world. spend property is a means to rid themselves of covetousness. No doubt that this form of worship is very important for people who believe in relation to the calculation in the afterlife. Messenger of Allah. also said that people who spend their wealth in the way of God will blessed God.

Another secret revealed about spending one's wealth in the way of Allah by the Qur'an is, people who spend their wealth in Allah's way without fear of being poor, will get the amazing grace in their lives. Whatever you spend in the way of Allah will be rewarded fully. Some verses that tell the appointments are as follows:
"It is not your duty to make them get a clue, but it is God who guide whom He wills. And whatever good fortune you spend, then reward it for yourself. And do not spend anything but by seeking the pleasure of Allah. And what only good fortune that you spend, surely you will be reward enough you're not in the least be wronged. " (Q.s. al-Baqarah: 272).
"Whatever ye shall spend in the way of Allah, shall be repaid unto you and you will not be persecuted." (Q.s. al-Anfal: 60).
"Say, 'Verily my Lord enlarges the provision for anyone He wills among His servants and narrow." And whatever good you spend, Allah will replace them, and He is the Giver of sustenance as well as possible. " (Q.s. Saba ': 39).
The people who believe only expect good pleasure of God and heaven when they give their property, but as a secret revealed by God, whatever they spend will be returned back to them. The return is a blessing in the world, and above all, God provides a haven for those who believe. In the meantime, in contradiction to the people who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, Allah will reduce the livelihood of people who spend their wealth in their stingy, or people who like to gather more wealth and ignore Allah's limits.

Think From When You Wake up from Sleep

2010-12-10T14:16:00.000-08:00

No special conditions are required for someone to start thinking. Even for people who just wake up in the morning there was a lot of things that can be pushed to think. Posted a long day in front of someone who's just getting out of bed in the morning. A day when tiredness or sleepiness as if he had vanished. He is ready to begin the day. When thinking about this, he remembered a word of God

He appointed for you night (as) clothes, and sleep for rest, and He makes the day to wake up trying." (al-Furqaan, 25: 47)

After washing face and bathing, he feels completely awake and in full consciousness. Now he was ready to think about various issues that are useful for him. Many other more important things to think about than just thinking about what food that i have for breakfast or what time she had to leave home. And the first time he had to think about things more important.
First of all, how he was able to get up in the morning is an incredible miracle. Despite already losing consciousness at all during sleep, but the next day he returned to consciousness and personality. Her heart was beating, he can breathe, speak and see. Yet when he went to bed, there is no guarantee that all of these things will be back to normal in the morning. Nor did he have any accident that night. For example, negligence neighbor who lived next door can cause gas leaks that can explode and wake the night. A natural disaster that can be claimed his life can only happen in his area

He may be having problems with his physical. For example, he might wake up with incredible pain in the kidneys or the head. But none of this happened and he got up in a safe and healthy. Such thinking prompted him to thank God for compassion and care provided him.
Start a new day with good health have a sense that God again gave someone a chance who can dipergunakannya to get a better luck in the afterlife. Remember all this, then the most appropriate attitude is to spend time on that day in a way that God approves.
Before everything else, one should plan the first time and was busy thinking about things like this. The starting point in gaining the pleasure of Allah is to ask God to make it easier to handle these issues. Prayer of Prophet Suleiman is a good role model for those who believe: "My Lord grant me the inspiration to remain grateful for your ni'mat which Thou hast bestowed upon me and to my parents, and to do good works that you ridhai; and insert I with Your mercy down among thy servants the righteous "( An-Naml, 27: 19)

How is human weakness encourages people to think? The human body is so weak when just getting out of bed to encourage people to think: every morning he had to wash face and brush his teeth. Aware of this, he was pondering about the other weaknesses. Necessity to take a shower every day, his appearance which would look terrible if his body not covered by the cuticle, and its inability to contain his sleepiness, hunger and thirst, were all evidence of her weakness.
"God, He Who created you from a state is weak, then He makes (you) after the state was weak become strong, then he makes (you) strength after it is weak (again) and gray. He creates what He wills and He is the Knower, Powerful. " (Ar-Rum, 30: 54)
For people who have elderly herself in the mirror to create a variety of thoughts in his mind. When the age of two decades of his life, the signs of the aging process has been seen in his face. At the age of thirty, the folds of skin begin to look under the eyelids and around his mouth, his skin no longer smooth as before, changes in physical form seen in most of his body. When entering the twilight age, white hair and his hands become brittle

For people who think about it, old age is the most obvious event that shows the perishable nature of worldly life and prevent it from love and greed of the world. People who enter old age understand that the seconds toward death is near. His body was experiencing the aging process and is in the process of leaving this world. Her body slowly began to weaken in spite of his soul is not turned into old age. Most people are very fascinated by the beauty or ugliness feel inferior because they face during young.

Every time when faced with all the weaknesses of human thinking that the only substance of the Most Excellent and Most Great and away from any imperfection is God, and he exalts the greatness of God. God created every human weakness with a purpose or meaning. Included in this goal is for people not too in love with the life of the world, and not be deceived by all that they have in the life of the world. Someone who can understand this by thinking will yearn for God created him in the hereafter free from all weakness.
All human weakness will remind one of the interesting things to ponder: the rose plants that emerged and grew from the black soil turned out to have such a fragrant smell. Conversely, a very unpleasant smell came from people who do not take care of his body. Especially for those who are arrogant and pride, this is something they should think and take lessons from him.

Key Beliefs of Islam

2010-12-08T07:59:00.000-08:00

ISLAM is one of the three monotheistic religions, along with Christianity and Judaism. Islam in Arabic means “submission” and is derived from the Arabic root salima, meaning “peace, purity, submission, and obedience”. Islam is the submission to the will of God, or Allah. Islam is a whole way of life based upon the will of God
revealed in the Qur’an, and in the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. Every aspect of life is seen as part of an indivisible whole, literally inseparable from all other aspects.

For Muslims, the Qur’an is immediate to God. Everything necessary for salvation and the understanding of
God’s covenant with humankind is contained between its covers. The Qur’an, moreover, is composed not of
Muhammad’s words, but of God’s words. To read the Qur’an aloud is to say God’s words, and to listen to it is to listen to God’s words as though God were saying them.

Key Beliefs of Islam :

God

The most fundamental belief of a Muslim is that there is only one God, who is the Creator and Sustainer of everything in the universe.There are no other gods besides God. God created the universe and everything in it. In Arabic, the word for God is ‘Allah’,and often Muslims prefer to use this name. In the Qur’an, God is given many names such as Merciful, Compassionate, Forgiving, and Just. God is neither male nor female.

Prophets

Muslims believe that God has sent prophets and messengers to all the peoples on the earth. Adam is the first
prophet, Muhammad the last. The Qur’an mentions twentyfive of the prophets sent by God. These include Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, David and Jesus.

Scriptures
Muslims believe that God gave scriptures to prophets. The Qur’an mentions the Torah given to Moses, the Psalms of David and the Gospel. These contain revelations from God, but the Qur’an is held as the definitive and final scripture.

Angels
Muslims believe that God created special beings called angels with certain functions and duties to fulfil. Gabriel, for example,carried messages of divine guidance to the prophets.

Day of Judgement
Muslims believe that one day life as we know it will come to an end and at some point the Day of Judgment will come. On that day each person will be accountable to God for his or her actions in this life. God will bring back to life all human beings and gather them for judgment, showing everything each person has done in his or her life.

God’s timeless knowledge

Muslims also believe that God knows everything that happens in the universe. God has full knowledge of the past, present and future, although we cannot understand how. God’s foreknowledge does not detract from human free will.

Earth is the perfect vehicle

2010-12-08T06:12:00.000-08:00

Most people probably do not ever want to know and do not ever want to think that we are currently riding an airplane in a very large space. where this vehicle we were traveling with billions of humans, animals and grow plants, which was created a life in a balanced and orderly.

Not only that but the earth is a sophisticated vehicle that made man, but he is a sophisticated vehicle, which has a remarkable facility. in it we get everything we want to survive. ranging from food. beverages and a variety of energy sources, air and an ideal atmosphere, and all sorts of facilities that allow us to establish a life which could reduce the generation of the next generation. dive thousands of years. none of the vehicle as powerful as the human creation and sekomplet this.
Earth as a space vehicle that drove in the universe, with a very high speed. no single man-made aircraft that can match the speed .. a journey with tremendous speed made by the earth in outer space. no less than 107 000 km / hour. in his job to move around the sun.
There is an all-powerful force that constantly balancing the earth revolves around the sun. for billions tahn earth continues to spin at speeds equal to the gravity of the sun. There is an extraordinary powerful force that constantly balancing the earth revolves around the sun. this is explained in the Qoran :

Who created the seven heavens one above another. You will never see the creation of God, Most Gracious, something that is not balanced. Then look again and again, do you see any flaw?

Concept of Human In The Qur'an I

2010-12-07T16:56:00.000-08:00

The First Human that exist by the Koran is Adam and Eve, The first human pair, Adam and Mother Eve. mentioned that, two these beings were originally living in paradise. However, because it violates God's command they descended to earth. then reproduce, maintain and became representative of God in the new world. Al-Quran gives an idea of the human lot are as follows: Man was created with a very good physical shape with a beautiful fine-beauty and is equipped with a special like sensory organs and heart, so that people give thanks to God who has give lots of beauty and perfection. Humans were given the ability to think to understand the universe and himself as God's creation and then increase his faith in Allah The Almighty. Humans have the sense to understand the signs of God's majesty, Heart to obtain the highest light and the spirit to whom Allah Almighty to take testimony about the oneness of divine man. Even her religion as a guide for life of the world and the hereafter. Human was created by God as caliph on earth, and in creating God is not to fool around, but to develop trust and to worship Him and always uphold the virtues as well as eliminate evils with all the responsibility Another specialty of human is to have broad freedom to develop themselves as high or as low even religion was not forced him. But humans also comes with a lot of weaknesses such as contender, exceeds limit Files , easily discouraged, always lamented, reject, did not want to give thanks, simple negligence after receiving blessings.. However human nature is holy and faithful. The tendency toward religion are basically the attitude, the state consciously or unconsciously men have always longed for God, devout, solemn, trust and do not disbelieve, especially when I'm having a great calamity and trouble. Some verses of the Koran and al-Hadith which became the main base for Islamic psychologists have provided information about the commencement of human life since the fetus is in his mother's womb. Al-Mumenoon [The Believers] verse 12 - 14 "Human We did create from a quintessence (of clay);. Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; . Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the best to create!" Discourse about human origins, became one of the interesting things to be studied and studied again more deeply. The two concepts (the concept of evolution and the concept of Adam the first man) raises a debate that endless to be discussed. On the one hand the concept of evolution offers an idea that man is the perfect manifestation of the evolution of creatures on this earth. While the concept of a second to say that humans are descendants of Adam and Eve. To Be Continued In the next article Human Concept II

star in the sky

2010-12-07T10:17:00.000-08:00

when we look at the sky at night, what's on in our minds ...? well i guest may appear a thousand and one different questions to each person. maybe you would say the beauty of the sky god's society, with star-studded star, for those who have a higher imagination may be thinking "if I could fly to the sky I'll pick a sparkling star and take home with me, really does not measure happiness "
but it seems just a dream of people who never understood about the actual sky. because it turns out that stars are not as we imagine, small and easily learned and the real star has a size that we can not imagine.

God Said in Koran :

"Then He made seven heavens in two days. He revealed in every heaven affairs. And We adorned the sky near the stars are brilliant and we maintain it with the best. Thus the provisions of the Mighty, the Know er.

Another function of the stars and the heavens are mentioned in the Koran :

الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا مَا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُتٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ فُطُورٍ (3) ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ (4) وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ (5)
(QS. Al Mulk: 3-5)

3. He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: sees thou any flaw?

4. Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out.

5. And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.

In this verse, Allah created the heavens layered or stratified. Then God asked, is there something that defects or cracks in the sky, God even commanded to see it over and over again (even repeatedly), if there is a defect in the sky? so balanced views from various sides, namely the color, nature, and height. Similarly, in God's creation, such as sun, moon and stars that shine. In the next verse, Allah describes His creation splendor sky. The sky was a beautiful and charming because it is decorated with stars.
