aSa BuaT NeGeriKu

Duhai penguasa
Duhai dua pelita
Dengarkan suara hati kami
Bukalah fikiran dan hatimu
Bukalah dada dan jantungmu
dimana detak darah tauhidmu terasa

Gumpalan awan hitam
Menutup cahaya baskara negeri ini
Belumkah cukup kau belajar :
Dari musibah tiada henti
Menerjang bumi pertiwi?
Dari kesempitan hidup
Menghimpit hidup kita?

Tidakkah kau ingat
Atau seolah kau lupa
Janji manismu
Dengan sejuta alasan
Untuk meyakinkan umat
Agar memilihmu
Lalu,mereka memilihmu
Dengan tulus dan atau berat hati
Tak peduli dengan pengkhianatan yang kau berikan pada mereka
Apa yang kini mereka dapatkan?
Janji manis sepah dibuang
Tong kosong nyaring bunyinya
Itulah suaramu
yang terdengar oleh rakyatmu

Jika kalian muslim ;
apakah kalian :
- percaya (beriman) pada Allah?
- cinta dan benci karena Allah?
- H2c termasuk salah satu dari 7 golongan yang dinaungi olehNya di yaumil hisab, dengan menjadi pemimpin yang adil, sang penjaga amanahNya untuk mengatur urusan umat manusia dengan hukum-hukumNya?
- berharap masuk surga?
- berharap dijauhkan dari api neraka?
- takut pada azhab Allah?
- cinta rakyat kalian?
- cinta negeri ini?

Jika kalian jawab 'YA!',
maka kalian takkan pernah tega :
- menjual aset negeri sendiri kepada imperialis asing
- membohongi rakyat dengan mengambil harta mereka dengan bathil via KKN
- membohongi rakyat dengan janji-janji manismu
- menelantarkan rakyat dalam urusan sandang,pangan dan papan
- merusak generasi muda bangsa dengan free sex dan narkoba serta tayangan media tak mendidik
- merusak akidah dan agama umat Islam dengan membiarkan kesesatan ahmadiyah dan aliran sesat mengatasnamakan islam. Bahkan kalian akan menjaga kehormatan,kemuliaan dan kemurnian akidah umat ini dari bahaya pemurtadan, SEPILIS (sekulerisme, pluralisme, dan liberalisme)
- mengkhianati amanah kepemimpinan yang Allah percayakan pada pundak kalian
- mengkhianati Allah dan rasulNya dengan berwali pada musuh-musuhNya dan berhukum pada hukum-hukum thaghut

yaa Allah
Selama kami berpaling
dari peringatanMu
Selama kami bermain
dalam api dosa
Selama itu
Kau uji kami dengan azhab Mu
Disebabkan oleh kesalahan kami
kesalahan penguasa kami
kesalahan kami semua
" Dan peliharalah dirimu dari siksaan yang tidak khusus menimpa orang-orang zhalim diantara kalian.Dan
ketahuilah bahwa Allah amat dahsyat siksaNya " (Qs al Anfal : 25)
" Dan barang siapa yang berpaling dari peringatanKu, maka sesungguhnya baginya penghidupan yang
sempit, dan Kami akan menghimpunkannya di hari kiamat dalam keadaan buta " (Qs Thaha : 124)

yaa Allah
Hindarkan bangsa dan rakyat ini
dari musibah tiada henti
yang menerjang bumi pertiwi
dari kesempitan hidup
yang menghimpit hidup kami
Sudah cukup darah dan airmata
membasahi negeri dan umat ini
" Jikalau sekiranya penduduk negeri-negeri beriman dan bertaqwa, niscaya akan Kami limpahkan berkah dari langit dan bumi. Tetapi mereka mendustakan ayat-ayat Kami itu, maka Kami siksa mereka disebabkan perbuatannya " (Qs al A'raaf : 96)

yaa Allah
Bukalah fikiran dan hati mereka
Bukalah dada dan jantung mereka
agar mereka berpaling kepadaMu
menjauh dari musuh-musuhMu
kembali kepada al Qur'an dan as sunnah
kembali kepada Islam

Berkahilah negeri kami
seorang pemimpin
seadil dan sebaik :
- Rasulullah SAW (622-632 M/1-11 H)
- Khulafa'ur Rasyidin (632-661 M/11-40 H)

- Khulafa' Bani Abbasiyah (750-1517 M/132-923 H)
- Khulafa' Bani Utsmaniyah (1517-1924 M/923-1349 H)

" Allah telah berjanji kepada orang-orang beriman dan beramal shalih diantara kalian, sungguh Dia akan menjadikan mereka menjadi pemimpin dimuka bumi sebagaimana Dia telah menjadikan pemimpin orang-orang sebelum mereka. Dan sungguh Dia meneguhkan bagi mereka agama yang diridhaiNya untuk mereka. Dan sungguh Dia akan menggantikan ketakutan mereka dengan keamanan. Mereka menyembahKu, tidak menyekutukanKu dengan sesuatu. Dan barang siapa yang ingkar setelah demikian itu, mereka itulah orang-orang fasik " (Qs an Nuur : 55)

BAIK saja tidak cukup jika LEBIH BAIK dan TERBAIK ternyata masih ada
ISLAM is neither only GOOD nor BETTER but also THE BEST!

Industri Kapal Di Era Kekhalifahan Islam

Kekuasaan peradaban Islam di masa keemasan terbentang begitu luas meliputi lautan dan daratan. Menguasai lautan merupakan salah satu faktor yang membuat Kekhalifahan Islam menjadi sebuah kekuatan baru dunia. Tak hanya soal perdagangan maritim, peradaban Muslim pun memiliki armada militer tangguh yang menguasai ganasnya lautan serta samudra. Salah satu bukti tangguhnya peradaban Islam di dunia maritim ataupun di bidang perdagangan dibuktikan dengan begitu banyaknya pelabuhan kecil di pinggir sungai-sungai besar dan di sepanjang pantai daerah teluk dan Laut Merah. Sedangkan, ketangguhan militer Muslim di lautan ditandai dengan berdirinya galangan kapal angkatan laut yang kokoh di sepanjang Mediterania.

Tak heran, jika peradaban Muslim dikenal sebagai bangsa Maritim yang besar. Sebagai penguasa lautan, kekhalifahan Islam juga menguasai teknologi pembuatan beragam jenis kapal. Pembuatan kapal pun menjelma menjadi sebuah industri yang besar, terutama di negara-negara Islam. Industri kapal dagang dan kapal perang menjadi primadona. ‘’Salah satu alasan umat Islam begitu mendominasi Mediterania adalah karena keunggulan mereka dalam teknik pemba - ngunan kapal,’‘ ujar Dr A Hakim Murad dalam sebuah artikelnya yang dipublikasikan islamic-study online. Saking berpengaruhnya kekuatan umat Islam di dunia maritim, istilah galangan kapal dar al-sinna pun menjadi kosakata dalam bahasa Inggris, yakni arsenal.

Menurut Ahmad Y Al-Hassan dan Donarld R Hill dalam bukunya bertajuk, Islamic Technology:An Illustrated History disebutkan bahwa galangan kapal pertama pada era keemasan Is lam dibangun di pulau Rawdah, Sungai Nil, Mesir. ‘’Setelah itu, dibangunlah fasilitas pembuatan kapal di Acre dan Tyre,’‘ ujar Al-Hassan dan Hill. Di wilayah Mesir, terdapat pula galangan kapal lainnya, seperti di Iskandariah, Damietta, dan Fustat. Khalifah Al- Mutawakkil penguasa Kekhalifahan Abbasiyah turut memberi perhatian khusus pada kapal pelabuhan Mesir. Hal serupa dilakukan gubernur Ibnu Tulun (wafat 884 M) yang membuat 100 kapal perang di Rawdah serta banyak kapal kecil.

Lalu, bagaimana kapal-kapal itu dibuat pada zaman kejayaan Islam? Semua kapalkapal di era kekuasaan Islam terbuat dari kayu. Kayu-kayu tersebut diikatkan satu sama lain pada sisinya sehingga tidak saling menindih seperti bangunan kapal yang berkampuh (clinker-built). Kayu yang sudah diikat itu membentuk seperti papan yang rata (carvel built). Kayu-kayu tersebut diikatkan dengan tali. Teknik pembuatan kapal seperti ini biasa dilakukan negara Islam bagian timur. Sedangkan, negeri Islam yang berada di bagian Mediterania sudah menggunakan paku besi. Setelah kayu menjadi satu, semuanya didempul dengan menggunakan aspal atau ter. Sedangkan, tali yang digunakan untuk mengaitkan kapal dengan jangkar dibuat dari bahan rami atau lontar. Kapal milik umat Muslim memiliki ciri khas yakni pada layar yang diigunakannya.

Mereka menggunakan layar laten yang dipasangkan pada sebuah tiang berat. Kemudian, layar tersebut dibentangkan pada tiang kapal, selanjutnya digantung sehingga membentuk sudut. Sedangkan, kapal Mediterania ciri khasnya ada pada layar laten yang mempunyai tiga sudut. Tak sembarang bahan bisa diguna kan untuk membuat kapal. Otoritas Muslim di zaman keemasan telah me ne tapkan standar bahan-bahan yang dapat dipakai membuat kapal. Salah satu syaratnya adalah kayu dan tali yang digunakan harus berkualitas tinggi. Selain itu, juga diperlukan besi, kain terpal, serta bidal penutup tali. Menurut Al-Hassan dan Hill, di masa kejayaan Islam terdapat beragam jenis kapal dari berbagai ukuran dan jenis. ‘’Ukurannya mulai dari perahu cardik yang kecil hingga perahu dagang besar berkapasitas lebih dari 1.000 ton,’‘ paparnya. Secara khusus, geografer Muslim, Al- Muqaddasi, pada abad keempat H atau ke-10 Masehi menyebutkan nama dan lusinan jenis kapal. Setiap kapal Muslim tersebut juga mencerminkan karakteristik tertentu.

Kapal dagang Kapal dagang umumnya merupakan kapal layar yang memiliki rentangan yang relatif lebar dan panjang. Pan jang nya layar berfungsi sebagai ruang penyimpanan (kargo) yang lapang. Pada masa kejayaan Islam, sungai Nil mempunyai peranan penting dalam perdagangan internasional dan industri pembuatan kapal. Kota itu dikuasai Islam sejak Amr bin Al-As menak - lukkan wilayah itu.

Kapal perang Berbeda dengan kapal dagang, kapal pe - rang bentuknya lebih ramping. Kapal ini bi - sa menggunakan dayung atau layar, tergantung dari fungsinya. Selain dibangun di pe - la buhan-pela buh an yang ada di Mesir, pada zaman kejayaan Islam kapal perang juga dibuat di wilayah Barat, seperti Tripoli dan Tunis di Afrika Utara, kemudian di Sevilla, Almeria, Pechina, dan Valencia di Spanyol. Selain itu, kapal- kapal perang juga di buat oleh kaum Muslim di Messina dan Palermo dengan mempekerjakan ribuan orang. Industri pembuatan kapal juga ber kembang pada zaman Dinasti Fatimiy yah. Mereka memperluas fasilitas pembuatan kapal perangnya di Tunis. Ada beberapa armada yang penting pada zaman kekuasaan Dinasti Fatimiyyah, yakni armada al-armada Sheen, al-Harariq, al- Harareeb, dan al-Taraid. Setelah kekuasaan Fatimiyyah meredup, industri pembuatan kapal dilanjutkan oleh Dinasti Ayyubiyah dan Mamluk.

Pada 566 H (1170 M), Salahudin Al-Ayubi berhasil membuat bagian-bagian badan kapal di galangan kapal Mesir. Salahudin juga memerintahkan pendi rian dermaga perakitan kapal untuk memasok kapalkapal dalam pertempuran melawan pasukan tentara Perang Salib. Keunggulan industri pembuatan kapal juga berlangsung hingga di era Kekhalifan Usmani Turki. Pemerintahan Usmani mengembangkan Istanbul (kota Islam) menjadi pusat pelayaran. Sultan Muhammad II pun menetapkan lautan dalam Golden Horn sebagai pusat industri dan gudang persenjataan maritim. Pemerintahan Ottoman juga berhasil membangun sebuah kapal di Gallipoli Ma - ritime Arsenal. Di bawah komando Gedik Ahmed Pasha (1480), Daulah Usmani membangun basis kekuatan lautnya di Istanbul.

Tak heran, jika marinir Turki mendominasi Lautan Hitam dan menguasai Otranto. Saking kokohnya kekuatan militer Ot - toman di lautan, Sultan Salim I kerap ber - seloroh, ‘’Jika Scorpions (Kristen) menempati laut dengan kapalnya, jika bendera Paus dan raja-raja Prancis serta Spanyol berkibar di pantai Trace, itu semata-mata karena toleransi kami.


Ibnu Tulun Sang Pembuat 100 Kapal Perang

Ahmad Ibnu Tulun adalah seorang gubernur Mesir pada masa Dinasti Abbasiyah. Ia adalah anak dari seorang budak berkebangsaan Turki bernama Tulun, yang dalam bahasa Turki berarti kemunculan yang sempurna. Ahmad Ibnu Tulun dilahirkan di Baghdad saat bulan Ramadhan 220 H/ September 835 M.

Tak lama setelah kelahirannya, sang ayah meninggal dunia. Sang ibu kemudian dipersunting Bagha al- Ashghar, salah satu panglima militer Dinasti Abbasiyyah yang berasal dari daerah Turki. Tak lama, Bagha al-Ashghar juga meninggal dunia. Ibu Ahmad Ibnu Tulun kemudian menikah untuk ketiga kalinya dengan seorang pembesar militer bernama Bakbak (Bayik Bey) yang menggantikan posisi mantan suami keduanya. Ibnu Tulun tumbuh besar dalam tradisi Turki dan didikan militer ayah tirinya. Sejak itu, ia aktif dalam dunia militer. Beranjak dewasa, Ibnu Tulun menikahi anak perempuan dari panglima militer lain Yarjukh, teman ayah tirinya. Ia ditunjuk sebagai gubernur Mesir di bawah kekuasaan Khalifah Al-Mu’tamad Billah penguasa Dinasti Abbasiyah.

Para sejarawan menjelaskan, Ibnu Tulun adalah orang yang kuat dan keras. Dia memerintah dan membuat suatu pertumbuhan dan stabilitas. Perawakannya tinggi dan tampan. Pada awal menjadi gubernur, ia menangani konflik dengan Ahmad Ibnu al-Mudabbir pengumpul pajak resmi dinasti Abbasiyah. Konon, Ibnu Al- Mudabbir lebih senang melaporkan hasil pajak kepada khalifah di Baghdad dibandingkan kepada Ahmad Ibnu Tulun. Merasa tidak dihormati, Ibnu Tulun mengambil tindakan. Akhirnya, ia berhasil menundukkan Ibn Al- Mudabbir. Setelah itu, pamornya langsung naik. Ibnu Tulun mempunyai kekuasaan yang begitu luas meliputi wilayah Mesir hingga Alexandria. Pada masa kejayaannya, Ibnu Tulun berhasil memerintahkan pembuatan 100 kapal perang dan ratusan kapal kecil. Inilah salah satu pencapaian terbesar Ibnu Tulun. Ia mampu menguasai lautan.

Tak heran, jika kekuasaannya semakin kuat. Sampai-sampai, Ibnu Tulun tak lagi menyebut dirinya sebagai gubernur, melainkan sebagai pemegang kebijakan independen yang tak lagi memiliki kaitan hierarkis terhadap Abbasiyah. Ia membangun dinasti sendiri Dinasti Tuluniyah di Mesir yang lepas dari pengaruh Dinasti Abbasiyah. Ia menunjukkan kekuasan yang dikendalikannya itu dengan memasang gambar wajahnya di mata uang, mengangkat pembantu (menteri), kepolisian, bea dan cukai, istana, perdagangan, dan dinas intelijen.

Allah & IsLaM~OuR pRiDe

He is who the father of all prophets (Ibrahim As) taught to seek for and find in his life ;

" So also did We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, that he might have certitude.When the night covered him over, he saw a star. He said," this is my Lord". But when it set, he said, "I love not those that set". When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said,"this is my Lord". But when the moon set,he said, "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray". When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said,"this is my Lord. This is the greatest of all". But when the sun set, he said, "o my people! I am free from your guilt of giving partners to Allah.For me,i have set my face,firmly and truly,towards Him who created the heavens and the earth.And never shall I give partners to Allah "
(Qs Al An'aam : 75-79)

He is who we fess up as the only one to believe in and worship ;

" say : He is Allah the One
Allah,the Eternal,Absolute
He begetteth not,nor is He begotten
And there is none like unto Him "
(Qs Al Ikhlaash : 1-4)

He is noone but Allah,the Lord of the universe

then,

This is what Ibrahim As prayed for to Allah ;

" Our Lord, make of us muslims, bowing to Thy will, and of our progeny a people muslim, bowing to Thy will; And show us our places for the celebration of due rites and turn unto us in mercy. For thou art the Oft-Relenting Most Merciful "
(Qs Al Baqarah : 128)

This belongs to all prophets ;

" O ye messenger! Enjoy all things good and pure, and work righteousness : for I am well-acquainted with all that ye do. And verily this ummah of yours is a single ummah. And I am your Lord and Cherisher. Therefore, fear Me (and no other) "
(Qs Al Mu'minuun : 51-52)

This is what we call the truth ;

" The truth is from thy Lord, so be not at all in doubt "
(Qs Al Baqarah : 147)

This is the truth in human nature ;

" So set thou thy face truly to the religion being upright, the nature in which Allah has made mankind. No change there is in the work wrought by Allah ; that is the true religion. But most among mankind know not "
(Qs Ar Ruum : 30)

This is what Allah perfected and are pleased for mankind ;

"...This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion "
(Qs Al Maaidah : 3)

This is, again about Allah, and Islam

When we leave islam,

" If anyone desires a religion rather than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him ; and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost "
(Qs Ali Imran : 85)

" But whosoever turns away from My message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the day of judgement "
(Qs Thaaha : 124)

When we take all about Islam,

" If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah, We should indeed have opened out to them all kinds of blessings from heaven and earth ; But they rejected the truth, and We brought them to book for their misdeeds "
(Qs Al A'raaf : 96)


Our belief in Allah and Islam means everything, our life and death
there should be nothing but for Allah and into Islam we were born
there should be nothing but for Allah and Islam we live and fight for in this life
there should be nothing but for Allah and Islam we die
not either democracy nor other kinds of kufr systems in this world

8 oscars, 14 golden globe nominations, world wide recognition and appreciation, resultant media frenzy. The media frenzy created waves all over the world.

Slumdog millionaire brought the harsh reality of a particular country (India) on to the widescreen with elegance, and shocked the audiences with its larger than life cinematic experience. Slumdog Millionaire earned critical acclaim from the biggest media houses and gained unparalleled publicity for its bold picturisation, powerful screenplay and strong message by addressing issues that still dominate India, although India would like to forget such issues or hide it behind its glittering Capatalist aspirations and dreams.

Child labour, poverty, beggary, slums, high illiteracy rate, police brutality, racial discrimination and more importantly the hindu-muslim tensions ever since India got independence in 1947. Director Danny Boyle used a plot revolving around the protagonist, Jamal Malik, a ‘muslim’ kid born and brought up in the poverty of Mumbai, India and goes through some unforgettably disturbing experiences in life .

It was precisly this reason that some Hindu activists in India; drowned in the fanatical emotion of nationalism, saw the movie as being Pro Muslim and came out in large numbers to protest against it.

Blogs, forums, and some websites were full of hatred and disgust shown by such people and some changed the title of the movie to ‘Slumdog Muslim’ to express their anger.

Ironically but truly ‘Slumdog Muslim’ neither sounds absurd nor abstract.

In fact, ‘Slumdog Muslim’ is also a film that’s still in production. The production of this epic began exactly 85 years ago. The production team however started planning this film, its storyline and its cast and crew years before hand. The planning was intense and involved a number of conferences, meetings and political calculations.

The producers of this films are the western powers. The directors are western and arab politicians and leaders. The story writers are the members of parliament and the biased media.

Hence unlike Slumdog Millionaire, this film titled ‘Slumdog Muslim’ is still in production. Its one of its kind indeed. The story writers and directors of this film are busy writing the continuing story line every day. Everyday a new plot is created, a new scene is shot with a new villian; and a new trailor is filmed and watched by millions of people around the world on the news channels. Special screenings and previews of this film are watched in the political cinemas and the next shot or sequence is discussed and debated; sometimes privately but often publicly to make the audience feel they are part of the plot.

Unlike Slumdog Millionaire which had only one Jamal Malik, in this movie there is more than one Jamal Malik. Probably hundreds and thousands of Jamal Maliks. Unlike Slumdog Millionaire this movie is not just about India but other countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Uzbekistan and Pakistan.

There are probably hundreds of Jamal Maliks that represents each one of these countries. There are Jamal Maliks on the streets of Pakistan suffering the consequences of political corruption. There are Jamal Maliks in the slums of Bangladesh. There are Jamal Maliks resisting the occupation in Palestine.

In this film there are Jamal Maliks who beg to survive just another day and protect themselves from the bloody hands of the occupying forces.

‘Slumdog Muslim’ began filming on the day the Muslim Ummah was made a ‘slumdog’ by the dismemberment of the Islamic State. It was this Islamic State - Khilafah State, that gave the ummah its honour and glory. It was the 3rd of March 1924, exactly 85 years ago when the directors of the movie shot the first official scene of this movie. There were no heroes but only villains such as Mustapha Kemal, Sharif Hussain of Makkah, Abdul Aziz ibn Saud and the other agents of the colonialists.

The truth is that every Muslim will be a slumdog without the just Islamic system that would give him his honour back.

On the whole the Muslim Ummah will be treated like a slumdog at the hands of corrupt and selfish western power till the film comes to the climax.

But there is a major problem with this movie. Since the producers and directors of the movie did not fix the climax of the film for their own selfish reasons, as a result they are unable to bring the film to an end. Now they have realised that the climax is out of their hands. The climax looks more and more likely to be shaped by the heroes of this film themselves.

85 years on, the film is being produced and made everyday, Slumdog Muslim is the film that portrays the real situation that the Ummah is in today.

The following are some of the scenes of this film:

1920 British Mandates to Iraq, Transjordan and Palestine. French Mandate to Lebanon and Syria.

1921 'Abdullah recognised as Amir of Transjordan, Faisal made King of Iraq.

1924 Abolition of the Khilafah.

1926 Ibn Sa'ud proclaimed King of Hijaz.

1926 Sheikh Sa'id moved against Mustapha Kamal in 1926 with arms

1927 British recognition of independent Ibn Sa'ud's Kingdom.

1930 Britain terminates Mandate in Iraq and sponsors Iraq's membership of League of Nations.

Just as with Jamal in ‘Slumdog millionaire’ some aspects are in our control and other aspects beyond us. Whether we follow the guidebook of life, the Quran or not is within our control, whether we strive to work for its implementation by the establishment of a true Islamic state is also in our sphere of control. When will we hit the jackpot and become ‘millionaires’ and regain our security, independence, authority, justice and tranquility is beyond our control, this will happen only when Allah (swt) decides. However there is a difference here, for us it is not about ‘if’ its about ‘when’ – as we are promised this victory by the Almighty and His (swt)’s Messenger (saw). What remains is for us all to seriously work for it.

Allah (swt) says:

"Allah has promised those amongst you who believe and work righteous deeds, that he will indeed grant them inheritance of power in the earth, as he granted it to those before them; that he will establish in authority their Deen, which he has chosen for them, and that he will change their state from a state of fear into a state of security and peace. They will worship me alone and not associate partners with me, and those who reject faith after this, they will be the rebellious and the wicked" [TMQ An-Noor :55]

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal extracted that Huthayfah said the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "The Prophecy will remain amongst you as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it when he wishes, then it will be a Khilafah Rashidah (i.e.: The first four Khalifahs) on the method of the Prophecy, it will remain for as long as Allah wills, then he will lift it when he wills, then it will be a hereditary leadership (i.e.: the Abbasid and Ummayid dynasties etc.) for as long as Allah wills then he will lift it when he so wills. Then there will be a tyrannical rule (i.e.: all the current Kufr regimes of the Muslims) for as long as Allah wills, then he will lift it when he so wills, then there will be a Khilafah Rashidah on the method of the Prophecy, then he kept silent." [Musnad Imam Ahmed 4/273]

IsLaM Is mY WaY...

in such a wacky world nowadays,as religion is often looked down,separated by men's arrogance from their worldy life affairs,we found it so if not trifle hard to commit to islamic shariah totally.whille some say readily,'islam is my way of life'.this word is a consequence of our iman.proving that we do believe in Allah is a matter between Allah and ourselves alone.noone but Allah alone knows how our iman is...
"do men think that they will be left alone on saying,'we believe',and that they will not be tested?
We did test those before them and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who
are false"
(Qs.Al ankabuut:2-3)

people,and they include muslims,think of islam and muslims variously from one to each other.
some are proud to be the muslims and they prove their pride to Allah by committing to islam until they give Allah their everything i.e.energy,mind to think,money,and soul--irrespective of what others think,say or do to them.some others are shy of their real identity as muslims and only take islam partially not totally.
some also think that there is no radicalism,moderation,and liberalism in islam and muslims.but some others believe that this kind of three terminologies of division among muslim do exist.
does it exist?
yes it does exist in the reality of non islamic such as communist and capitalist life system.
but does it exist in the sight of Allah and islam ?
in the Qur'an,hadith,or in the day of judgement,neither Allah will call muslims radical,moderate,and or liberal ones but He only calls them muslims and mu'mins nor ask them if they belong to liberalism,moderation or radicalism.he won't ask them either if they're sunni,shi'a,nahdatul ulama(NU),muhammadiyah,etc

...but He will ask for all humankind's and this includes muslims' responsibilities for what they've done in their worldy life affairs (as muslims who fess up to believe in Allah and islam).
sadly,some of us are nowadays bamboozled with this kind of complicated terminology that made some other innocent ones get mixed up about islam and muslims plus their activities.

it may be true that it's we who made islam seem difficult to understand.while Allah doesn't mean to give us troubles with islam and our brothers in islam.
"He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion"
(Qs al hajj (22):78)
we can neither judge ourselves to be better than others nor judge others to better than us.Allah alone is the best judge of our iman's quality.
proof of faith sounds difficult but Allah brought islam down with no difficulties but as the only solution to mankind's problems in all aspects of life.
all we must do while we live is :
* do amar ma'ruf nahi munkar/dawah both to our family,neighbours,and society including government as a part of this ummah.coz dawah is also an obligation from Allah upon those who call themselves muslims.
* we should think about our self-betterment in the world and the day of judgement.coz Allah loathes those who can only say what to do but they don't do what they say.

don't get bamboozled by finding others' faults and forgetting ours own.but remember that islam also obliges us to remind one each other of the truth through dawah/amar ma'ruf nahi munkar.

proof of faith in Allah may sound difficult but we must be sure that Allah brought islam down with no difficulties but merely as the only solution to our life problems in all aspects of life.islam is always number one and the toppest.but the revival and or decline of this ummah is dependant on the muslims...
so muslims,wake up!
our today's long slumber can be our biggest sin in the hereafter.


may Allah guide us to prove our iman to Him and to be ideal muslims in the world and the day of judgement...

love and fear Allah!
