When Friday early morning (10/30/2010), we heard the news directly from our brothers that Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta back react. Mountain ash is generating intense rain. Everything is on the power of God. Jogja is so beautiful that eventually turned into a sea of dust. Although located in a distant land, we also feel how heavy and difficult experience such a calamity or disaster due to the ubiquitous short visibility, full of dust and must use a mask. Here are some valuable advice that hopefully can become an entertainer lara.

Understand Divine Providence

Dust or ash that was not fun, so did the smell of sulfur in the streets, all the calamity that is, it is part of a divine destiny. That is something that is doomed since 50,000 years before the creation of the heavens and the earth. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

كتب الله مقادير الخلائق قبل أن يخلق السموات والأرض بخمسين ألف سنة

"God has recorded the fate of each creature before 50,000 years before the creation of the heavens and the earth." (Narrated by Muslim, no. 2653)

What God destined it nothing can mengelaknya. In a hadith mentioned,

وتعلم أن ما أصابك لم يكن ليخطئك وأن ما أخطأك لم يكن ليصيبك

"You should know that something is destined will happen, maybe not escape from you and something that is destined to escape from you, it's impossible happen." (Narrated by Abu Dawud no. 4699, saheeh)

Rahimahullah Ibn al-Qayyim said, "The foundation of every good is if you know that each of God's will surely occur and any that are not God's will is not going to happen." (Al Fawaid, p.. 94)

Disaster Comes Due Maksiat

Allah Ta'ala says:

وما أصابكم من مصيبة فبما كسبت أيديكم

"And whatever misfortune that befall you is caused by your own hands deeds (sins), and God forgive most (from your mistakes)." (Surat ash treaties or 30)

Ibn Al Jauziyah rahimahullah Qoyyim said, "Among the consequences of sin is to eliminate delicious and disastrous results of sin is (unfortunate). Therefore, the loss of a blessing than a servant is the sin. Similarly, the arrival of these calamities are also caused by sin. "(Al Jawabul Kaafi, p.. 87)

From here, then it is duly reflected upon, may be ash rain that hit us so hard that there is actually a variety of activities for our own sins. Try to see how in our society still maintains the tradition or ritual that smells shirk, dislike wearing amulets, talismans as penglaris, the grave is so glorified and adored, and so forth. So did many rituals in the name but was never taught by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam is widespread in the community and continue to be maintained. Not to mention how often some people are leaving the five prayers are obligatory. Similarly, adultery and the open-aperture clothed genitalia are considered normal in the midst of our society. This is perhaps because the coming of calamities for the sake of the calamities that befall our country, in the form of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and others. We should have this introspection and bersegara repent to God.

'Ali ibn Abi Tholib radi' anhu said, "It is no accident that fall but because of sin. Therefore, the disaster could not be lost but with repentance. "(Al Jawabul Kaafi, p.. 87)

Face Disaster by Patience

Many complain of no use. Berate here and there will be an unpleasant sulfur smell when the rain of volcanic ash, and also no benefit. The first attitude in the face of disaster is to be patient.

Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah explained that patience is holding hearts and orally from complaining and holding the limbs of emotional behavior. (See 'Uddatush Shobirin, p.. 10)

The so-called patient is at the beginning of the disaster, not later after verbally complaining and not being emotional as a sign of blessing / patient. Because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

إنما الصبر عند الصدمة الأولى

"Whose name starts when the first patient should stricken by disasters." (Narrated by Bukhari no. 1283). No need to complain of calamities, resist verbal and other limbs of many grumbled and was unhappy. Face calamity with patience.

There Ease Behind Difficulties

Rest assured that behind every difficulty there must be ease. Beyond the difficulty there is a way out. Allah Ta'ala says:

فإن مع العسر يسرا

"Because real hardship there is ease." (Surah Alam Nasyroh: 5)

This verse was repeated after that,

إن مع العسر يسرا

"Verily after difficulty there is relief." (Surah Alam Nasyroh: 6). Qotadah says, "Narrated to us that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam never give glad tidings to his companions with the paragraph above, and then he said,

لن يغلب عسر يسرين

"One difficulty is impossible to beat two of convenience." (Released by Ibn Jarir Ath Thobari in the book of tafsir, 24/496)

The difficulties that befall the moment, anywhere it must face the Terbangan dust here and there, visibility when driving any less, it's only for a moment, not throughout the year (insha Allah) and not forever, because there must be ease. So it does not need to anxious and despair.

Try to see how God provides a better change to a disaster as a Muslim hand over everything to God and be patient. Umm Salamah-one of the wives of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam-said that he never heard the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said,

أم سلمة زوج النبى - صلى الله عليه وسلم - تقول سمعت رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يقول «ما من عبد تصيبه مصيبة فيقول إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون اللهم أجرنى فى مصيبتى وأخلف لى خيرا منها إلا أجره الله فى مصيبته وأخلف له خيرا منها ». قالت فلما توفى أبو سلمة قلت كما أمرنى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فأخلف الله لى خيرا منه رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -.

"Anyone from a disaster-stricken servant and he said:" Inna wa inna lillahi ilaihi rooji'un. FII Allahumma'jurnii mushibatii wa akhlif Lii khoiron minhaa [All things belong to God and will return to Him. O Allah, grant rewards toward disaster ang happen to me and give change to a better] ", then God will give him reward in musibahnya and replace it with something better." When Abu Salamah (my husband) died, I also mention prayer as the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam commanded me. God had given me a better husband than my husband who used the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. "(Narrated by Muslim, no. 918)

There Delicious Agony Behind

Actually, behind the pain there is a larger enjoyed a Muslim. If the face of calamity with patience, there is a reward. That is because the ash trim, for example, we can achieve when faced musibas reward those with patience.

Similarly, pain can be a blessing because with a disaster, everyone is reminded to immediately return to God. Finally he was obedient, much pleading and praying to God.

Rahimahullah Ibn Taymiyyah said, "Among the blessings of God perfect in His servants who believe, He's down on their difficulties and suffering. Due to this they suffer mentauhidkan him (just hope the ease of God, pen). They had a lot of praying to Him in doing sincere. They had no hope except to Him. In these difficult times, their hearts were always depend on Him, not turn to other than Him. Finally they bertawakkal and return to Him and feel the sweetness of faith. They also felt the joy of faith and feeling so valuable it apart from shirk (because they do not apply to other than Allah). This is as big as favors upon them. This blessing was more remarkable than the loss of sick pleasure, loss of fear, loss of drought that hit, or because of the ease or difficulty in loss of life. Because the delicious delights of the world body and others can be found to the Gentiles, and can also be found by the believers. "(Majmu 'al-Fataawa, 10/333)

As a result of suffering, due to the disaster, due to difficulties, we also feel close to God and want to return to Him. So not suffering is suffering. Suffering could be a blessing as he described. Agony can increase pain if someone actually complain and make the creature as a place to complain suffered. Only to God should we expect convenience and out of various difficulties.

Favors when we return to God and His bertawakkal on and a lot of pleading to Him, it is more enjoyable than suffering the loss of the existing world. Due back on God and on His resignation is just delicious owned beings who believe and do not found the people who disbelieve. While delicious loss of pain and other suffering, it can be found on the infidels and the believers.

Remember this good advice. Hopefully we can continue to be patient and be patient. Patience is no limit. Because Allah Almighty promised,

إنما يوفى الصابرون أجرهم بغير حساب

"Those who are patient, the reward for them is without measure (infinity)." (Surah Az Zumar: 10). As Sudi said that the reward of those who patience is Paradise. (Tafsir Al-Quran Al 'Azhim, 7 / 89)

May Allah make it easy in the face of tragedy for the family and our brothers the Muslims who are in Yogyakarta. May God bestow fortitude and patience. Aamiin Yes Mujibas Sa'ilin.

We all know that Indonesia is currently being alone. Natural disasters come streak seemed to give pause for humans to breathe and improve itself. As a result, automatic all the affected areas that need our help. Not only relatives of victims who called for help, all people around the world who still have a conscience would have also reached out as far as possible in order alleviate the suffering of the victims.

Not only from within the country, aid flowed from abroad. The Hollywood actress also competed with each other contributed to the victims of this country. The problem is not enough just from the money that was donated in films, but also honors the nude photos to a porn magazine called Playboy. Hmm ... good intentions but how depraved.

If in a western culture known as the good-hearted hero named Robinhood who likes to help poor people with the steal, comes the 'hero' other named Pamela Anderson poses naked for disaster victims in Indonesia. Sorry for all the victims were, and how it keterlaluannya celebrities. The disaster victims are exploited by artists and celebrities to raise the prestige of himself. Not to mention the officials who came to the location of quasi-selling look here and there are increasingly making raktat disgust. Not the solution given but instead worsen the situation with the comments here and there are often aimed at increasing her fame.

.... It was outrageous celebrities. They exploit the victims to raise the prestige of her ....

Islam is a religion that regulates all things down to the details-details. The purpose does not justify any means. The point is that although a good goal, but if I do not either, it will not be accepted this act of charity. For example, someone who aims to better feed their children and wives in a way to steal. Good goal but not a good way. Tertolaklah charity like this.

Especially this time is the celebrity case that non-Muslims, to sell itself in a way naked in a porn magazine, law enforcement officials who used to charity, and many other actors who do everything just so-called good people. Then, how donk?

Small people are the helpless. Under normal conditions they are always marginalized, especially in desperate conditions when disaster struck. Government as a protective institution should be sensitive and caring people not to let the aid that comes from the stolen money was flowing.

Governments that have self-esteem would feel ashamed to receive help from the selling self-ria berbugil, received funds from the proceeds of corruption and other obscure sources. If not, the government can really empower the potential that exists in their own country to help victims of disasters and to build structures and Infrastructure damaged. After all, accepting foreign aid from pure impossible without any frills. There's always something that was asked in return the support. The period so people who have become victims again be sacrificed for the sake of themselves and their own group?

.... Sorry for the people of this country. Natural disasters that result in loss of property and even lives, followed by the loss of national pride when the name of humanity, the help of the stolen money was received it ....

Really, really sorry for the people of this country. Like already falling hit the stairs again. Condition of natural disasters which result in loss of property and even lives, followed by the loss of national pride when the name of humanity, the help of the stolen money was received only. If this condition continues to drag on, then do not be surprised if disaster after disaster will continue to come and go as a warning over the country. So get ready it will come a warning that even harder if we are still ignorant also, always proud of the covered sin and ignore the rules of his course. And Allaah knows best.

God commands something definitely worthwhile for the good of mankind. And any truly useful and needed by humans in his life, must be prescribed or ordered by him. Among the commands of Allah is veiled Muslim women. Here are some of the benefits covered under Islam and science.

1. Adzab spared from God (hell adzab)

"There are two kinds of inhabitants of Hell who had never seen before, a group of men who hold the whip like cattle, they are whipping people with it. And the women who are dressed but naked, misguided and misleading, a pat on the head they have something like a camel's hump. They (the women like this) will not enter Paradise and will not smell it. Meanwhile, it wafted the smell of paradise from a great distance "(Narrated by Muslim).

Imam An-Nawawi rahimahullah explain that what is meant by "The women are clothed yet naked" is that they are closing most of its body and reveal some others with the intention of showing her beauty.

"The women are clothed yet naked" is that they are closing most of its body and reveal some others with the intention of showing her beauty.

2. Avoid abuse

The number of sexual harassment against women is a result of their own behavior. Because women are fitnah (temptation) the largest. Sebagaiman words of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, "after me there's no more dangerous fitnah for men than women." (Narrated by Bukhari)

If women at the time of the Apostle is the greatest slander of men even though women in this age is consistent with their veils and not a lot of evil men at the time, then how women in today? Of course it would be a target of harassment. This has been proven by the high abuse in European countries (women are not veiled).

3. Maintaining male jealousy

Jealous nature is the nature that God has put in to the hearts subhanahu wata'ala men to better maintain self-esteem women who become mahramnya. Jealousy is an exemplary character in Islam.

"God is jealous and envious of the faithful as well. Jealousy of God is that if a believer toward what is forbidden him. "(Narrated by Muslim)

If the veil were lifted, male jealousy will disappear. So if there is abuse no one would defend.

4. It would be like heaven biadadari

"In heaven there are maidens who beat his view, they never touched a man or jinn had before." (Surah Ar-Rahman: 56)

"They're like jewels Yakut and Marjan." (Surah Ar-Rahman: 58)

"They laksan eggs stored neatly." (Surah Ash-Shaffaat: 49)

With the hijab, women will have properties like an angel heaven. That is his gaze, never touched by a non mahramnya, which always at home to guard her honor. This woman is a very valuable jewelry.

With the hijab, women will have properties like an angel heaven.

5. Preventing skin cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases that cause some cells to change its nature. Skin cancer is tumors that formed due to the chaos in the cells caused by radiation, chemicals, and so forth.

Research shows skin cancer usually caused by Ultra Violet rays (UV) light which illuminates the face, neck, hands, and feet. Cancer is a lot of attacking white people, because more flammable white sun.

Cancer does not discriminate between men and women. However, women have lower endurance than men. Therefore, women are more susceptible to disease, especially skin cancer.

Therefore, how to protect against skin cancer is to cover the skin. One of them with veiled. Because with headscarves, we protect our skin from UV rays. It protects the body rather than by wearing a veil hanging out and tight clothes. Why? Because it's useless. Because UV rays can still penetrate tight clothing especially transparent clothing. Covered here must match the criteria of hijab.

6. Slowing the aging symptoms

Aging is a natural process that is certainly experienced by all people: the slow process of growth and division of cells in the body. Symptoms of aging include graying hair, wrinkled skin, and others.

The main cause of the symptoms of aging is sun. Sunlight is essential for the formation of vitamin Dyang play an important role on the health of skin. However, scientifically be explained that sunlight stimulates the melanocytes (melanin cells) to remove melanin, as a result of collagen and elastin network devastated. Collagen and elastin network plays an important role in maintaining the beauty and skin elasticity.

Hijab is an obligation for every Muslim.

Protective skin creams are not able to completely protect the skin from the sun. So it is recommended to protect the body with a veil.

Hijab is an obligation for every Muslim. And the veil also has benefits. It turned out that not only brings benefits but also many benefits ukhrawi worldly. Hijab is not merely keep the faith and piety wearer, but also makes the skin protected from the cancer and the aging process.

It turned out that the hijab is not merely bring benefits ukhrawi but many worldly benefits.

Hijab is not merely keep the faith and piety wearer, but also makes the skin protected from the cancer and the aging process.

So God gave love to the woman through a perfect Islamic Shari'a.

Alhamdulillah, a few weeks we will enter the moon Dzulhijah, in particular we will celebrate Eid al-Adha. When the feast until tasyriq days, we will meet with an annual routine, the slaughter qurban. In this edition of At-Tawheed Bulletin this time and next, we will discuss more specifically on the question qurban. The theme will be raised is about the regulations regarding the slaughter of animals qurban and may or absence of a collective at the time. From this discussion we will also know the mistakes in the urunan qurban slaughter which is common in the middle of society. I hope that this modest benefit.

Animals used for slaughter qurban are camels, cattle [1], and goats. Even the scholars berijma '(agreement) is not valid if a person do with other than cattle slaughtered earlier. [2]

Terms Of Goat Sacrifice

Qurban a goat just for one person and may reward is intended for all family members although the numbers are much, or even who had died. "At the time of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam there is someone (husband) to slaughter a goat as qurban for himself and his family." [3] Ash Syaukani said, "(From many scholars dispute that there is), that's right, goat qurban be intended for one family in the family although there are 100 people or more." [4]

Terms of Cow and Camel Sacrifice

A cow may be qurban to 7 people. While a camel for 10 people (or 7 persons) [5]. From Ibn Abbas radhiyallahu'anhu he said, "We used to penah bersafar together Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam then came the feast of Eid al-Adha so we associate qurban ten people to a camel. While our association to a cow as much as seven people. "[6]

Similarly, of those who participated urunan qurban cow or camel, each of which may be intended it for himself and his family. Note the fatwa of Al Lajnah Ad Da-Imah follows.

Question: Can a Muslim berqurban camel or a cow for seven people, then each one has intended for parents, children, relatives, teachers and other Muslims. Is urunan seven people were each intended for one person alone (without the other) or the reward may be to the other?

Answer: What is taught, camels and cattle are allowed to seven people. Every seventh person may meniatkan for himself and family members. [7]

How Law Qurban Collectively?

As set forth above, one goat may only be for one person (and may be intended for family members), one cow for seven people (including family members), and one camel to ten people (including family members), then what if a goat made qurban for 10 people or for one school (which has a student hundreds of people) or a village? Some do like this on the grounds that such limited funds.

In response, it is good we look fatwa scholars who gathered in Al Lajnah Ad Da-Imah (fatwa committee in Saudi Arabia) on this subject.

Problem: There is a father who died. Then his son wanted to berqurban to his father.However, there is suggesting to him, "You can not slaughter a camel to qurban one person. We recommend that slaughter was one of the goats. Because camel greater than goats. So who said "Slaughter camel", that's wrong. " Because if you want to sacrifice the camel, it must be with a joint venture together.

Answer: It may sacrifice on behalf of someone who died, either with a goat or a camel.The people who say that the camel may only be slaughtered by a joint venture together, then the words he is in fact wrong. However, goats are not valid except for one person and Shohibul qurban (people who berqurban) may reward qurban goat had intended it to members of his family. The camel may be for one or seven people with berqurban together. Seven people were later allowed to venture within qurban one camel. While the cow, the case is similar to the camel. [8]

From this explanation, then we can take a few lessons:

An actor with a goat may qurban qurbannya behalf of himself and his family.
Qurban with cows or camels may be carried by seven people.
What is meant for one person goats, cows and camels to seven people are in trouble people who bear the cost.
Not valid with a goat berqurban collectively / urunan more than one person and intended on behalf jama'ah, school, RT or village. Goats are slaughtered in this way is normal goat meat and not meat qurban.
The solution in Sacrifice Contributions

The solution can we offer to issue a joint contribution qurban animal is to show qurban social gathering. So every year some people can turn to berqurban. Among the permissible reasons for this is because some scholars allow the debt to do qurban.

Imam Ahmad bin Hambal say about people who can not afford aqiqah, "If someone is unable aqiqah, then he should seek utangan and hope God will help pay it off. Because this will turn on the teachings of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. "[9] as well as aqiqah Qurban.

Sufyan Ats Thaury said, "Once Abu Hatim utangan and he never sought any herding camels to be slaughtered. And he said to her, "Do you really find utangan and has led camels to be slaughtered?" Abu Hatim said, "I have heard the word of God (which means)," You'll get a lot of goodness to him. "(Surat al-Hajj: 36 ) "[10]

Note:

Those who follow social gathering should be the person whose name is enabled for gathering meaningful debt.
Goat prices can change every year. Therefore, the social gathering in the first year exceeded setorannya better than expected price of a goat for that year.
When slaughtering equipment on behalf of an individual (one person to the goat or seven people for cattle and camels) and not on behalf jama'ah or group gathering.
What about Hadeeth "This is qurbanku and qurban anyone from my Ummah who have not berqurban"?

Some people have a reasonable point qurban collectively exceed the provisions of shari'ah as those mentioned above by reason of the hadeeth Jabir ibn 'Abdillah follows, "I'm with the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam attend Eid al-Adha prayers in the field.After the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam berkhutbah, he came down from the pulpit and then he handed over a sheep. Then he cut with his hands, then said, "Bismillah, wallahu akbar. This is qurbanku and qurban anyone from my Ummah who did not participate berqurban "." [11] They argued that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam just intend for all his people who do not berqurban, it means that we may intend qurban for one RT, a schoolgirl or one village.

Disclaimer: Regarding the hadeeth "qurban anyone who did not participate berqurban", is reserved for the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, and not much else. So, he was allowed to sacrifice for the entire ummah (besides his family). While his people are only allowed to slaughter qurban for himself and his family as explained in advance.

Al Qodhi Abu Ishaq said, "Words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam-is-wallahu a'lam as someone may berqurban for himself and his family, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam may berqurban on behalf of all Muslims because he was their father and wife He and wife is their mother. "[12] Therefore, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam was the father of the Muslims, then he is allowed meniatkan qurban for himself and his family (ie all Muslims).

Conclusion

Qurban slaughter for themselves and families are allowed as the majority opinion of scholars. This is based on the deeds performed by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and his companions.
Qurban slaughter for themselves and for all Muslims in addition to the family is special for the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. The evidence, the companions no one doing so after the death of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. That they have just slaughtered qurban for yourself and family.
Most of the Muslims who slaughtered qurban to one school or to a single RT or for one village was mistaken, as this is not done by the salaf earlier.
Hopefully this presentation useful. [M. Tuasikal Abduh, ST]
