"Travel Package", Book Of The Prophet Muhammad
To The Whole People (2)
Continuing
the previous news, Ustad Ilham reiterated in his Friday sermon at Jami Masjid
An Nur Cibubur, that every grace also virtually always contain a test for
humans to intensify all our potential in order to seek the pleasure of Allah
SWT.
The
history of the events surrounding the Ascension is a valuable lesson, how
distress and sadness is replaced by a message (such as the five daily prayers,
red) as a means to draw closer to Allah SWT.
Allah
says,
إن عدة الشهور عند الله اثنا عشر شهرا في كتاب الله يوم خلق السماوات والأرض
منها أربعة حرم ذلك الدين القيم فلا تظلموا فيهن أنفسكم وقاتلوا المشركين كآفة كما
يقاتلونكم كآفة واعلموا أن الله مع المتقين
That
is, "Indeed the number of the months with Allah is twelve months by
Allah's ordinance in time created the heavens and the earth, which (are) four
sacred months. That is the right religion. So do not be persecuted in these
months, and fight the polytheists as they fight you, and know that Allah is
with those who fear Him. "(At-Tawbah: 36).
Tafsir
Tabari said that the four sacred months in question is Dhul Qa'dah,
Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab. Therefore, they do not know the war that
occurred in those months.
People
are not allowed to persecute and fighting among them in recent months. If there
is a dispute between them, then usually suspended until the months passed.
Retaliation among family members were injured and killed is also waiting for
the months pass. Ignorance Society also follow this rule. Then if we as a
people Muhammad did not want to glorify this month?
Let
us learn from history. It was in the month of Rajab, there is a i'tibar
(reflection) is very real to us emulate together. When you want to reflect on
history, then in fact the Muslims will get a very valuable lesson in Rajab.
Lessons about the fortitude and belief in Allah the Most Wise replies.
In
the eighth year of Prophethood, the Prophet Muhammad to get some very heavy
ordeal for him and his followers. The exam is a Gentile embargo Quraysh and its
allies against Muslims. Action embargo is still running even though time has
entered the Haram month. This means that the Prophet along with his companions
still feel the persecution and injustice of those who usually cease all hostile
activities against his opponents.
After
eight years of preaching the religion of Allah kepeda his people accompanied
and protected by two powerful Quraysh tribe, the uncle and his wife, and in
this year of the Prophet Muhammad to be willing when both were summoned before
the Rabb. Thus, at the time of the Prophet Muhammad no longer have a strong
enough defense in front of his own people who are hostile to the truth.
So
the Prophet then allow his followers to emigrate to Ta'if. But apparently Bani
Thaqlf that controls the land Taef not give a warm welcome to the friends.
Those who come to seek help when they were expelled and humiliated in such a
manner. They were stoned to have to go back to the condition of bleeding.
Throughout
this ordeal experienced by the Prophet Muhammad and his companions in the same
year, the eighth year since the Prophet proclaimed himself the prophet end
times. On trial taramat heavy and insistent, then Allah SWT then give
"just entertainment" to the Prophet Muhammad in mourning with all the
circumstances and feelings. Prophet Muhammad received a "package of
recreational trip" to refresh ghirroh (spirit) struggle in upholding the
mission of Tawheed on Earth.
"Travel
packages" are then referred to as Isra Mi'roj is true is a message to all
the people of the Prophet Muhammad that, all sorts of trials that must be
weighed whatever we see as the beginning of a will dianugerahkannya a glory to
us (Muslims).
Another
thing we can learn lessons from the next month of Rajab is the journey of the
Prophet Muhammad from the Haram to the Aqsa Mosque is written in the word of
Allah,
سبحان الذى أسرى بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام الى المسجد الأقصا الذى باركنا
حوله لنريه من آيتنا إنه, هو السميع البصير
That
is, "Blessed is He who has memperjalankan his servant on a night from the
Sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque, which we have blessed around it so we showed
him some of the signs of (greatness) Us. He is the Hearer, the Seer
"(Al-Isra ': 1)
Is a
message of brotherhood and friendship among the servants of Allah. That Muslims
as a people should always show the best attitude of maturity and maturity in
interacting with people other people.
Although
the Prophet Muhammad could just jump to the skies of Mecca, but Allah still
take him to the Aqsa Mosque, worship center earlier prophets. This could mean
that Muslims do not have a ban to be kind to fellow human beings, even to
groups outside of Islam. This is because Islam respects the rules before Islam,
such as circumcision, which has been prescribed since the time of Prophet
Ibrahim AS.
In
the internal scale Muslims, we should always keep the bonds of brotherhood and
silaturrahim to strengthen devotion, faith and brotherhood among Muslims. Thus,
Month of Rajab is a glorious month we should welcome with adding keyaqwaan and
sincerity.
We
must be diligent perform prayers five times a souvenir of Isra 'Mi'raj Prophet
Muhammad Rajab in the eighth year of Prophethood. We must be tough to face life
though life is full of trials and obstacles. Muslims must always optiomis and
believe in the promise of Allah, will be happiness of the world and the
hereafter for anyone servant who constantly improve their faith, for that
message Rajab.
