Two
Events Suffered Prophet Before The Isra And Miraj (1)
Ustad
Wahyudin, S.S.I said in his Friday sermon at Masjid At Taqwa Raya, Pasar
Minggu, South Jakarta, Friday (29/04), that in the history of Islam there is a
monumental event. The historical moment is an event that occurs about 14 Hijri
century ago, the events of Ascension.
At the time
of the Prophet Muhammad by Allah SWT diperjalankan of the Grand Mosque in Mecca
to the Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds, followed by a layer of the highest heavens to
the extent that can not be reached by the science of all beings, the angels,
man, and Jin. All were taken in a day and night. That event as well as a
marvelous miracle of Prophet Muhammad received. It is perpetuated by Allah in
the Qur'an,
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ
بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي
بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ
الْبَصِيرُ
That is, "Glory to God, who has
memperjalankan his servant on a night of Al Haram Al Aqsa Mosque which We have
blessed around it so that We show him some of the signs of (greatness) Us.
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing. "(Al-Isra ': 1).
According to Ustad Wahyudin, before
Rasulullah SAW did Isra and Miraj two events experienced by the Prophet is as
follows,
1. The death of two of the most respected
and beloved Prophet Muhammad, the uncle Abu Talib, and his beloved wife
Khadija. With the totality undoubtedly, both are staunch supporters of the
Prophet preaching. The second death of a major supporter of this, a major test
of the struggle of the Prophet Muhammad.
2. Requests Quraish to the Prophet Muhammad
to show things that are strange as stated in the Qur'an,
وَقَالُوا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ
تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَنْبُوعًا
أَوْ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِنْ نَخِيلٍ وَعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ
الْأَنْهَارَ خِلَالَهَا تَفْجِيرًا
أَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا أَوْ
تَأْتِيَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ قَبِيلًا
أَوْ يَكُونَ لَكَ بَيْتٌ مِنْ زُخْرُفٍ أَوْ تَرْقَىٰ فِي السَّمَاءِ
وَلَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتَّىٰ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابًا نَقْرَؤُهُ ۗ
قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي هَلْ كُنْتُ إِلَّا بَشَرًا رَسُولًا
That
is, "And they said," We never believe you until you emit springs and
earth for us, or you have a garden of dates and grapes, then you flow the
rivers in the gap gardens torrential flow, or you drop the sky above us in
pieces, as you say or you bring Allah and the angels face to face with us. Or
you have a house of gold, or you ascend into the sky. And we are never going to
believe it until you send down kenaikanmu on us a book that we read ".
Say, "Glory to my Lord! Am I just a man who became an Apostle? '." (Al-Israa':
90-93).
Still
from Ustad Wahyudin, the state filled with grief and tremendous barriers that
add to the feeling of the Prophet heavier in carrying out the divine treatise.
Then Allah 'entertain' the Prophet Muhammad with memperjalankan He, up into the
sky and meet Allah SWT. Until now, these events are often celebrated by the
majority of Muslims in commemoration of Isra Miraj.
Basically,
these warnings are for motivating and encouraging, not in the context of
worship (worship in the sense of a special ritual worship). Unfortunately
however, the motivation and encouragement that should be achieved in each of
Isra and Miraj have not seen and etched on the reality of the lives of the
Muslims now.
When
we examine the Qur'an, there are four verses relating to Isra and Miraj. Allah
says,
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ
الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ
مِنْ آيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
That
is, "Glory to God, who has memperjalankan his servant on a night of Al
Haram Al Aqsa Mosque which We have blessed around it so that We show him some
of the signs of (greatness) Us. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
"(Al-Isra ': 1).
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَىٰ
عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَىٰ
"And verily he saw Jibril it (in
apparently genuine) at any other time, (ie) in Sidratil Muntaha. Nearby there
is a paradise place to stay, "(An-Najm: 13-15). Continued……
