Three Types of Judges, Only One entrance into Heaven

By A Dr Ilyas Ismail

Attitudes and behavior of judges is always highlighted, both in the past or the present. The reason, besides having great authority and power, the judge also often face the temptation that is also unusually large, especially the temptations of wealth and riches of the world.

Interesting listened to, a very popular tradition that is expressed by the authors of the book of Sunan that the judges were only three people. One person in heaven and in hell the other two. A person who is in heaven is a judge who knows the truth, then lays down the law with the truth. He was in heaven. One again, the judges know the truth, but deceitful. He did not lay down the law based on truth. He was in hell. The other, judges are stupid, do not know the truth, and establish laws on the basis of the passions. He is also in hell. (Abu Daud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah).



Thus, the true and honest judges, based on the above hadith, only one-third, while the remaining two-thirds of the judges who are corrupt and deceitful. This Hadith, according to experts of hadith, al-Munawi, a reprimand and warning to the judges so that they maintain the honesty and integrity. This Hadith, al-Munawi continued, speaking at the levels of reality (bi hasb al-existent) and not based on the ideals informal (la bi al-hukm hasb).

In the Koran, the rulers and all law enforcement officials, including judges, pegged to have a dual nature, that is fair and trustworthy. Without these two properties, the tough law enforcement officers do not get caught up in crime and mafia law practice. "Allah commands you convey trust to those who deserve, and (told you) if the judge between people that you assign to the fair." (Sura al-Nisa '[4]: 58).
This verse, according to the world's great scholars, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a very important and specifically addressed to the authorities. Fair in this verse means to understand the truth (God's Laws) and set the case on the basis of truth with an honest, fair and indiscriminate accordance with the principle equal before the law. While meaningful mandate, among others, responsible, uphold the oath of office, professional, and uphold the glory of the judges and the judiciary.

According to Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz, the Deputy who was known to be fair, the integrity of law enforcement is largely determined by the competence of intellectual, moral, and spiritual in their 5 things. If any one of the five competencies are not met it, according to Abdul Aziz, the law enforcement would not survive the disgrace or disrepute.

The five competencies were, respectively expressed as follows. First, fahiman, namely good understanding about the law. Second, Haliman, has a conscience and courteous nature. Third, `afifan, keep away from sins and evil. Fourth, shaliban, assertiveness principle. Fifth, Aliman saulan `` an al-`ilm, has extensive knowledge and insight as well as much discussion. Only through law enforcement with morality and integrity, law and justice can be enforced in this country. Others do not. Wallahu a`lam.

Learning from the "Folly" Umar bin Khatab

By: Nur Akbar Agustiar

We would be familiar with Omar bin Khatab one of four prominent caliphs after the death of the Prophet Muhammad. Umar also known for its ketegesan and tenderness of his heart. Even the Prophet SAW said, "If no prophet after me then he is Omar bin Khatab". (H.R Tirmidhi and Ahmad)

Narrated never once found the Prophet Muhammad Umar bin Khatab was crying and then laughing about the same. When asked what was causing it so. Umar bin Khatab explained that he thought his situation in the ignorant past. Why did he cry, he remembered when the ignorance he buried his daughter alive.



I wish I thought of her daughter is still alive. He will be with them. And grandchildren will get a lot of them.

So that made him laugh at the ignorance is when he used to make idols. Sometimes he made from wheat and sweets.

But when he was hit by hunger or famine. So he was forced to take the parts of graven images are then memakannya.Mendengar that Prophet Muhammad was also laughing.

From this story we can take a very valuable lesson. The period of ignorance is also known by the darkness or ignorance.

Where reason and conscience does not function properly. Call it the two things that mebuat Umar bin Khatab cry and laugh when remember it.

In the ignorance of women do not have price at all. Even having a daughter is a big disgrace. Since it is considered useless, can not fight and could not pass on the triumph and glory. Even women were considered something that can be inherited. Is like a good or a mere inanimate object.

Burying girls alive is inhumane. It therefore could be called typical person is ignorant does not have a conscience. Common sense also should reject this. But what happened is the opposite.

The second event, where Umar ibn Khatab ate his god that he has made his own. If common sense working properly then the mind will reject the god that can be made and eaten. Or the god that can be created and destroyed.

Once Umar ibn Khatab embraced Islam and became a friend of the Prophet Muhammad. He realized it would be folly. He regretted it when he foolishly bury his daughter alive. So he cried when remembering the event. And Umar bin Khatab laugh at his stupidity. How is possible, once he makes his god worship and eat it.

Praise be to Allah SWT, Essence of the Almighty, Most Great. With His Shari'a is carried through the hands of the prophet Muhammad SAW, has issued human beings from ignorance and the primitive's. And teaches us to use conscience as it should. It also teaches us to be a humane human. And Allaah knows best-bish shawab.

Holding Lust Corruption

By Ma'ruf Muttaqien

World and the lust it is like a shadow, both of which are close relatives. I was so close, they can bear a variety of infidelity enigma of life of our society today.

Starting from the question of the entertainment world who prefer to exploit the beauty of a woman's body, a number of conflicts in the election that often lead to conflict, to what is currently known as corruption by Greed, or corruption because of the nature of greed to be able to live among the luxury bermewah artists and officials.



Nothing wrong, if then lust is often likened to sea water, which when drunk but does not eliminate hunger will only increase the thirst. So, people will not indulge desires satisfied. While the world is like a like a mirage.

Allah SWT has hinted about the mirage that human beings often dazzling in surah Ali-Imran verse 14. "Cite this as a beautiful (view) the human love of what is desirable, namely: women, children, treasure that many of the types of gold, silver, horses, cattle, and rice fields. That's the joy of living in the world and on the side of God is the excellent return (Paradise). "

Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib once angry with his brother Aqil who asked him to take the cash money to pay off state debts. "I actually really want to help, but not with the money the state treasury," Ali said firmly. Aqil, of course, disappointed and kept pushing.
Until finally Ali was angry. "Because you kept pushing and did not want to listen to my opinion. I suggest something that can pay off your debt. Look at the boxes of money in that market, while market quiet, take!" Aqil was surprised, then asked, "Why have you sent me to steal money traders who worked hard all day?" Ali ibn Abi Talib and then replied, "Then, how can you urged me to steal money from the people of this country?"

Like a wagon wheel, this life will always revolve. Slice by slice along the pleasure, sorrow and lara. Sense of security, affection, and attention from other people come and go as each passing day. That is the secret of life is woven by God to his servants in the world.

Lust for luxury world is just going to make a wagon wheel reluctant to circle back, and not patterned knitted shattered lives. For that, just wait and pray right Time will make a wagon wheel back spin, and reveal the secret of life beauty.

Patience is the mother of all dreams and desires. While praying on time is to master the formula for the soul, the passions and desires, thoughts and oppose corruption. Patience and prayer time is a way to get closer to the owner of all the beauty and true pleasure.

Great Mosque of Damascus, the Umayyad Daula Heritage

One of the places worth visiting or diziarahi in the Middle East is the Great Mosque of Damascus, better known as the Umayyad Mosque. He was one of the oldest and sacred in the world, located in the Syrian capital, Damascus.

In masjdi complex, in a small park next to the north wall there is the Tomb Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi, famous heroes in Islamic history. In addition, the mosque is said to store a small shrine containing the head of John the Baptist, which considered a prophet by Christians.



Damascus is believed as one of the oldest cities in the world that mankind inhabited by successive civilizations. And among the civilizations that once proliferated in this city is Islam.
Umayyad Mosque which stood on ground considered sacred for at least 3,000 years. About 1,000 years before Christ, the Syrians build a temple-mosque at the site where the stand-a place of worship of Hadad, the god of storms and lightning. A orthostat basalt (rock) that comes from this period, pictorial sphinx, found in the northeast corner of the mosque.

In the early first century AD, the Romans arrived and built a large temple to the god Jupiter on the temple of Syria. This Roman temple stood on the porch of a rectangular (temenos), which measures about 385 meters 305 meters, with a square tower at each corner. Section outer temenos wall still survive, but almost nothing remains of the temple itself.
At the end of the 4th century, the temples into Christian holy sites. Jupiter Temple was destroyed and a church built on it as a gift to John the Baptist.

Emperor Theodosius (330 AD) forbade the worship of the gods and convert this building into a cathedral church by the name of St. John Baptist Church Basilica. The Church is believed to be the place to capture the head of John, and became the most important sites as
pilgrimage destination in the Byzantine era.

During the Umayyad Dynasty (661-750 AD), Damascus became the capital of the Islamic world. The Umayyad caliph who ruled from Damascus over the entire region, from Spain through to India. Historically, Islamic civilization has left many beautiful buildings in Damascus, capital of Syria.

Umayyad Mosque (Umawi) built during the Caliph Al-Walid ibn Abdul Malik (88-97 H/705-715 M) of the Umayyad dynasty. Its architecture has an impact for the arts build mosques throughout the world. From this mosque, the Islamic architecture began to recognize the arches, square towers, and maksurah.

Initially, the Muslim conquest of Damascus in 636 AD did not affect the church, because the building was used jointly by Muslims and Christians. The building is still a church and increasingly attracting Christian pilgrims. The Muslims built mud-brick structure on the south wall so that they can perform prayers.

However, the Caliph Al-Walid finally destroy the church and build a mosque. Khalifah provide compensation for the Christians as compensation. It is said that the story, Al-Walid himself who started the demolition with gold rivet nails into the church.

At that time, Damascus was one of the most important city in the Middle East and became the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate. Umayyad Mosque was built with a magnificent structure, which involves thousands of workers and craftsmen Coptic, Persian, Indian and Byzantine.

Umayyad Mosque was renovated several times due to fires in the years 1069, 1401 and 1893. In 2001 Pope John Paul II visited the mosque, primarily to visit the relics of John the Baptist. This is the first time a pope visited the mosque.

Umayyad Mosque is one of the most impressive buildings in the Islamic world, a page that airy and spacious prayer hall. Some of the original mosaics of the 8th century are still preserved. Towers built in the Al-Walid also remains still survive until today.

Great Mosque Umayyad Mosque of Damascus or, sometimes also called the Mosque Umawi, very well worth a visit and become a pilgrimage destination if there is opportunity and ease to get there. He is one symbol of the triumph of Islam that is left up to now.

Ikhlas in charity

By Hamli Syaifullah

Alms is one of the theories given by Allah SWT to double properties. Whether it be multiplied in the world nor in the Hereafter. "Parable (living incurred by people who spend their wealth in Allah's way) is similar to a seed that grows seven points, in each grain, a hundred grains. God multiply (reward) for whom he wills. And God's vast (His grace), the Knower. " (Al-Baqarah [2]: 261).

Very very tempting lure offered by God in the verse. Where one compared with seven. This is what can not be realized by Muslims. An economic theory to invest the assets owned by the results many times over.
The above verse was used as a basis by some Muslim economists in allocating property. Where the daily consumption (total consumption) of a Muslim is the sum of consumption to worship with consumption for mundane or can be formulated as follows: Ct = Ci + Cw.



It can be concluded that for every property owned by a Muslim there are rights of others (mustahik) as an economy of solidarity to help those who berkesusahan for people who can berkesusahan solemn worship to God, without having to pawn akidahnya on the part of missionaries . "And whatever good you spend, Allah will replace it and He is giving sustenance as well as possible." (Surah as-Saba ': 39).

Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz once said: "Prayers mengantarkanmu half way, fasting mengantarkanmu to the door of al-Malik (The Supreme King), and alms put you into his presence." Ibn Mas'ud said: "Syahdan, there is a man men who worship God for seventy years, then he is committing adultery, then Allaah will remove all his deeds. After that, he ran into a poor, and give alms to him bread, then Allaah will forgive his sins and glorify back reward of worship seven year.
Ubaid bin 'Umar also said: "On the Day of Judgement people will be collected in a state of hunger that they had never experienced before, thirsty that they had never experienced before, so whoever feeds (person) by Allah, Allah will mengenyangkannya, any person to drink (person) by Allah, Allah will meminuminya, and whoever gives clothing (person) by Allah, Allah will membusanainya. "

Thus the primacy of charity. Not fitting for us to be miserly and stingy to fellow humans, let alone to help our brothers who are experiencing economic slump. With charity, we share our happiness with others and finds that God will also glorify people who always sincere in charity.

Nabawi Mosque, the Mosque of the Prophet

City of Medina, commonly called Madinah Al-Munawwarah, is the main city in Saudi Arabia. Medina is a bustling city diziarahi or visited by the Muslims from all over the world. There is where the Prophet's Mosque, one of the three main mosques in addition to the Grand Mosque in Makkah and Masjid Aqsa in Jerusalem, Palestine.

The Prophet once said, "Madinah is haram (holy land) from this to this, should not be cut (cut) tree, and should not be carried out heresy in it. Whoever makes heresy (or protect those who do heretics) on it, then he hit curse of Allah, angels, and all mankind. "



The town is located about 600 miles north of Makkah Municipality has a population of about 600,000 inhabitants. For Muslims this city is considered as the second holy city after Mecca. At the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, this town became the center of preaching, teaching and the Islamic government. This is where the message of Islam spread throughout the Arabian peninsula and throughout the world.

Early in the development of Islamic preaching, this area known as Yathrib, a center of economy and trade in the region. When the Prophet migrated from Mecca this city, he later changed his name to Medina. Gradually the city became the center of propaganda and the Islamic government until the Prophet died and was buried there.
Prophet's Mosque is the second mosque built by the Prophet after the Quba Mosque, founded in the course of his hijrah from Mecca to Medina. Prophet's Mosque is the first mosque built the Prophet when he arrived in Yathrib (Madinah).

Its location is the place where he stopped the camel ride. This place is a place for drying dates originally owned by two orphan brothers Sahl and Suhail bin Amr. Rasulullah then buy it and then build a mosque and his residence.

Originally the mosque was built is very simple, with a clay material, piled palm trees and thatched palm midrib. Foundation only in the form of stacked clay mold stack. The Prophet himself who led the construction of a mosque measuring approximately 50 mx 50 m is approximately in 622 AD.

The layout of the mosque building was deliberately made governance a bit like building a house of the Prophet in Makkah. Part of the roof of the mosque was left open just like that. During the first nine years, this mosque without lighting at night. Only at the time of Isha, held a little illumination by burning straw.

After that, on one side of the mosque, built the residence of the Prophet. The residence of the Prophet is not how much and nothing more luxurious than the state mosque, of course, only more closed. In addition, there are also parts of the mosque which is used as a place of poor people who do not own a house, known as the Ahl Suffah or the occupants of the terrace of the mosque.

After that many times the mosque was renovated and expanded. Renovation of the first undertaken by the Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab in the year 17 H, and the second by the caliph Uthman ibn Affan in the year 29 AH Later in the ruling Umayyad dynasty, Caliph al-Walid ordered the architects and engineers Arab expansion and the physical restoration of building the Mosque of the Prophet, another term of Masjid Nabawi.

Although these large-scale development, but the Caliph still wants the original structure of the mosque is not changed. In addition, the executing engineers also built the tower that serves as a muezzin call to prayer chanted. Minaret, at the time, considered a new element in the architecture of the mosque.

In the reign of Sultan Abdul-Majid I-Ottoman Dynasty-Nabawi Mosque renovation again occur. This time on a large scale. The Emperor ordered that all buildings demolished mosque, except the Prophet's room. Further expansion of the mosque to be rebuilt with up to 1293 meters. This is the last expansion before the Prophet's Mosque is handled by the government of Saudi Arabia.

At the time of King Fahd, the Prophet's Mosque again expanded in 1414 H, so that the building area of ​​almost 100,000 square meters. Coupled with the construction of floors above the vast reaches 67,000 square meters and the court which can be used for prayer area of ​​135,000 sq. m. The entire complex of Nabawi Mosque can now accommodate approximately 700,000 pilgrims.

Prophet's Mosque has a number of virtues, such as the Prophet stated, "One prayer in this masjidku, greater reward than a thousand times prayers in other mosques, except in the Grand Mosque. And one more time praying in the Grand Mosque more than one hundred major thousand times prayers in other mosques. " (Reported by Ahmad)

"No need to put up the vehicle, except for visiting three mosques: Masjid al-Haram, this masjidku (Masjid Nabawi), and the Aqsa Mosque." (Bukhari, Muslim and Abu Dawud)

That's why the City of Medina and especially the Prophet's Mosque is the Muslims are always crowded with visitors from all over the world when the pilgrimage or Umrah.

In the Prophet's Mosque have a place called Raudhah (Parks), a place where all the prayers and diijabah granted by Allah SWT. No wonder the Hajj or Umrah pilgrims would spend the time to pray in this glorious place.

Holy Mosque Throughout The Islamic History

Grand Mosque is a holy mosques throughout the Islamic history. This is where the Hajj and Umrah concentrated, especially tawaf around the Kaaba. Grand Mosque in the holy city of Mecca, a city revered for being the Kaaba, the first house which is used as the center of worship to Allah SWT.

Ra of Abu Dhar, he said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, Which mosque was first built?" He replied, 'Haram'. I asked, 'Then (the mosque) where? " He replied, 'Then the Aqsa Mosque'. I asked, 'What is the distance between the two? " He replied, "Forty years. After the prayer meet you anywhere after that, then pray, because there is virtue to him." (Bukhari-Muslim)



Inside the Grand Mosque Kaaba there is a direction of the Qibla of Muslims during prayer times. The mosque was first built by the Caliph Omar permanently bin Al-Khattab in the year 638 AD

In the reign of Abdurrahman bin Zubair who ruled the Hijaz region, building the Kaaba made as the hadith of the Prophet peace be upon him about the foundation of Prophet Ibrahim. But because there were wars with Abdul Malik bin Marwan, ruler of Syria, the Kaaba on fire due to fire thrower (Manjaniq) owned Syrian troops.

So Abdul-Malik ibn Marwan who later became caliph, the renovation of the building back to the Kaaba by the renovation of the Holy Prophet at the age of 30 years, not based on the foundation that built Prophet Ibrahim. In its history the Kaaba several times been damaged by war and age of the building.
In the reign of Caliph Harun al-Rashid, Abbasid ruler Daula, he plans to renovate the back Kaaba in accordance with the foundation of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet desired. But the intention is prevented by Imam Malik, one of the leading scholars, because it feared it would become a holy building khilafiyah problem by ruling later and could result in unloading pairs of the Kaaba. So until now the Kaaba building renovation and equipment in accordance with the Caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan.

From time to time-Haram always experience the renewal and expansion, initiated by the Muslim caliphs who gives attention to the Grand Mosque. Large-scale development in the history initiated by King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, who holds a "waiter Two Holy City of Makkah and Madinah."

At present Haram area 366 000 square meters and can accommodate 914,000 pilgrims in a time of prayer in congregation. The mosque is circling the Kaaba, the door a lot. There are 4 main doors and 45 normal door that is usually open 24 hours a day.

In this modern era, the Holy City of Mecca continued to clean up. Similarly, conditions in the vicinity of the Grand Mosque today. So many skyscraper buildings that surround the Grand Mosque. And now, the Grand Mosque was like a concrete jungle surrounded by challenging the sky. Makkah Construction seems to speed up in anticipation of increasingly pilgrims, both Hajj or Umrah, who came to Mecca each year. Now estimated at 2.5 million people have attended these holy rituals.

Because of the rapid development around the Grand Mosque, pilgrims sometimes wonder and awe. Fact, not rare or Umrah pilgrims who are confused and get lost looking for the road to the Grand Mosque and when returning to the inn.

However, modernity and the rapid development of the Grand Mosque and its surroundings, do not reduce the primacy of worship in this holy place. Haram has so many features, among other prayers at the main mosque more than a hundred thousand times prayers in other mosques. Likewise dhikr, prayer, charity and other good works.

From Abu Hurairah ra, he said, "Of the Prophet, he said, 'They should not bother to travel, except to three mosques, (namely) the Grand Mosque, Masjid Nabawi Prophet, and the Aqsa Mosque." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Inside the Grand Mosque are the Black Stone, the black stone in the religion of Islam is believed to come from heaven. The first to put the Black Stone at the Kaaba is the Prophet Ibrahim. This stone has a unique scent, natural aroma which has since the beginning of its existence. Currently, Black Stone placed on the outside of the Kaaba making it easy for pilgrims who wanted to kiss her.

At the Grand Mosque complex also contained Maqam Ibrahim. This place is not the tomb of Prophet Abraham as told by some people. Maqam Ibrahim is a small building located in the east of the Kaaba. Inside the building there is a rock where the Prophet Ibrahim when he built the Kaaba stand together as his son Prophet Ismail.

In addition, in the Grand Mosque are also Multazam, which lies between the Black Stone and the door of the Kaaba, a distance of approximately two meters. Named Multazam because dilazimkan for every Muslim to pray in this place. Each prayer is recited in Multazam, Insha Allah, will diijabah or granted.

Toxins Cause Heart Disease

By: Ibn Tiangfei

"It means: In their hearts is a disease, then God plus his illness, and for them a painful chastisement because they lied." (Surat al-Baqara: 10).

"It means: In order for him to make what was entered by the devil, as a temptation for people who in his heart there is a rough and heart disease. and Those who do wrong, it is really in a very adversarial. " (Surat al-Hajj: 53).

According to Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya in his book 'Do not Let Heart Disease Bersemi', heart disease due to the occurrence of damage, especially on the perceptions and desires. The people whose hearts are sick are drawn to him smelled of doubtful things. As a result he can not see the truth or seeing something not as it is. On the other hand, his desire to hate the truth like a useful and harmful falsehood.
Besides doubtful, those whose hearts are sick will also be reflected his desire to things smelling lust or desire for sex (na'udzubillah).



Heart disease is the pain that afflicts the heart, such as pain when you master the enemy. Surely it can bring such a feeling of heat or heartbreaking.

Allah Almighty says,
"It means: Fight them, Allah will destroy them with the (mediation), your hands and God will humiliate them and help you against them, and comforting those who believe. And eliminate hot hearts of the believers. and Allah accepted his repentance those who wished. Allah is Knower, Wise. (Surat At-Tauba: 14-15).

Based on the paragraph above, heal hearts for those who believe, is characterized by loss of heat in their hearts. In law qishas also be said about the loss of a sense of resentment from the families of those killed. So, healing the heart is also marked by the loss of a sense of hatred, anger, sadness and so forth. Including all doubts and ignorance. All this considered a disease that attacks the soul.
In fact every form of immoral behavior is poison to the soul and the cause of the emergence of various heart diseases. While the toxins cause the heart disease of whom there are four kinds, namely:

1. Fudhulul Kalam (exaggeration in speaking).

Basically, the law speaks in the view of Islam is permissible (be). However, the record still within the limits of the provisions of sharia. If out of those limits, the law is no longer permissible, but illegitimate.

Prophet Muhammad Saw said:
"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day let him say good or better still". (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

In another hadith the Prophet Muhammad Saw said:
"Whoever guarantees me what is in between the beard and what lies between her thighs then I guarantee him Paradise". (Narrated by Bukhari).

Based on the above hadith, Islam strongly recommends it to all Muslims to distance themselves from all the words are not good and not helpful. Especially if the words they contain elements of slander and backbiting (na'udzubillah) that destroy faith in the heart.

2. Fudhulun Nadhor (superfluous in view).

In Islam there is an order to hold the eye, especially views which could arouse lust. Here a Muslim must be able to keep its eyes, so as not to fall in the valley of disobedience.

Allah Almighty says,

Justice of the Prophet for non-Muslim Peoples

By: Harun Yahya *

In the Qur'an, Allah commands the believers to be fair. "O believers, be you people who are firmly for justice, as witnesses for Allah even against yourselves or parents and the kin. If he is rich or poor, God knows better kemaslahatannya. So do not you go on air passion for wanting to deviate from the truth ... " (Surah An-Nisaa ': 135)

With his rules apply to Muslims, justice and tolerance towards people of different religions, languages, races, tribes, and his attitude that does not distinguish between rich and poor, but treating everybody the same. Prophet is the best role model for all mankind.

In a verse of the Quran to the Messenger of Allah said, "They are people who like listening to falsehood, of devouring anything forbidden. If they (Jews) come to you (to ask for the decision), then decide (this matter ) between them or turn away from them, if ye turn away from them, then they will not give you the slightest harm. And if you decide their case, then decide (this matter) in between them with justice. Truly Allah loves those who the fair. " (Surat al-Ma'idah: 42)



Obey the Prophet of Allah, even against a stubborn kind of people they (Jews), and he never made concessions in upholding justice. She became a role model of all time with the words, "My Lord commanded to run (enforce) justice." (Surat Al-A'raf: 29)

A number of incidents proves justice of the Prophet. He lived in a place where people of different religions, languages, races, and ethnic coexistence. It is very difficult for them to live together in peace and harmony and supervise those who are trying to spread disunity. One group can become aggressive and even attack the other group through words or deeds. However, justice is the source of the Prophet peace and security for other communities, just as applicable to Muslims.

During the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW, the Christians, Jews and pagans of all treated equally. Messenger of holding on to verse, "There is no compulsion to (enter), religion (Islam)," (Surat al-Baqara: 256), and explaining the true religion for all people, but frees them to make a choice themselves.
The attitude of the noble Prophet of Islam in total harmony with the morality of the Qur'an, should be a role model in treating the adherents of different religions. Justice of the Prophet provide an understanding to people of different races. In the sermon, his sermon, he often states that the advantage lies not in race but in godliness. As Allah states in the Qur'an, "... Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is the most pious among you ..." (Surat al-Hujuraat: 13)

Two hadith, he emphasized the principle of justice: "You are children of Adam, and Adam came from dust. It should stop people boast of their ancestors" (Abu Dawud).

"Lo-nasabmu nasab be because you are not allowed to berate the person; you are all descendants of Adam ... No one is more than others, but because religion and takwanya ..." (Reported by Ahmad)

In Farewell Khutbah '(farewell sermon) Prophet emphasized several principles, "O mankind! Verily your Lord is one. Remember! There is no advantage over the Arabs above others Arabs, nor is there excess for people other than Arabs for Arabs, not too there is an excess of red-skinned people over black people, and not all black people on the red skin, but because of piety. For behold, the most honorable among you is the most pious to God. " (Bayhaqi)

The agreement made with the Najran Christians in southern Arabian Peninsula is another exemplary example of the Prophet justice. One of the clauses in the agreement reads, "Life Najran and its surrounding community, their religion, their land, property, livestock, and people who attend them or not, their messengers and their places of worship are under the protection of Allah and guardianship His Prophet (Muhammad). "

Medina Charter, signed by Muslim immigrants from Mecca, the indigenous people of Medina, and the Jews of Medina is another example of the importance of justice of Allah. As a result the constitution, which established justice between communities with different beliefs and ensure the protection of their interests, and end the hostilities that occurred over the years. One of the most remarkable feature of this agreement is dikokohkannya religious freedom.

Medina Charter One article states, "The Jews of Bani 'Awf are one nation with the Muslims. The Jews have their religion and Muslims have them."

Article 16 of the agreement reads, "The Jews who follow us certainly entitled to our support and equality the same rights as any of us. It will not be harmed or his enemies will not be helped."

The Prophet Companions to stick to the Charter of Medina that, even after his death. And they even apply to people Berbers, Buddhists, Brahmins, and people of other faiths.

One of the main reasons why the golden age of Islam is one of the shadow period of peace and security is a fair attitude of the Prophet, and it is a reflection of Qur'anic morality.

Therefore, the only solution to stop the fighting and conflicts around the world is to adopt the morality of the Qur'an. As the Holy Prophet, he was never away from the path of justice, and he never discriminate people based on religion, language, or race.

* Harun Yahya was born in Ankara in 1956. He studied fine arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, he has published many books about politics, monotheism, and scientific science.

The Beauty in the Life of Prophet Muhammad

Although many books have been written about the figure of the Prophet Muhammad, but the purity and clarity of quality and governance of the great kramanya continues to flow. Series of the Prophet's life reveals the glory of nature, magnanimity performance or in attitude, and personal excellence. With this, people of faith can satisfy their thirst for spiritual their determination to become better human beings.

Along with the many duties accompanying the Message of the Prophets, he also carries a duty to teach people about the beauty and revive the senses and awareness. Verily Allah a beautiful, noble Qur'an are also beautiful, and the whole beautiful universe. Prophet, no doubt, is the best person to teach beauty.



1. The beauty of a smile. Yes, the smile is the kind of superior beauty. This is also the universal language of mankind. Smiling means to feel all the excitement, joy, and compassion toward humans. Like a painting, a smile is a beautiful picture.

Prophet Muhammad was known to have a face that always smiled. Jarir ra said, "The Messenger has never refused to see since I embraced Islam. Every time he sees me, he would see me with a smile." (Bukhari).

The Prophet not only maintain a beautiful smile on her face, but also encourage others to smile. "The smile on your brother is charity." (Reported by At-Tirmidhi). "Do not belittle any good deed, even if it was just meeting with your brother with a cheerful face." (Muslim).
2. The beauty of appearance. Prophet was always wearing the best clothes that he had. Before you meet with the envoys, he will wear clothing appropriate to the status and tradition of each delegation. Rasulullah also like perfume. From Ayesha, "I'm obtaining splashed scent (perfume), the best to the Prophet." (Muslim).

The Prophet forbade any person who eats onions or garlic into the mosque. He supports the beauty in general as one of the beloved of Allah SWT. In a hadith, he said, "Allah beautiful and loves beauty."

3. The beauty of a soft attitude. The Prophet is reported to have said, "Gentleness can not be found on anything but it adds to its beauty, and not deprived of anything except that it made defective" (Muslim). So, the softness is a jewelry and beauty, while violence is a bad thing. Prophet's noble conduct all affairs with tenderness, and he urged the implementation of gentleness in all affairs, both state and private.

The following examples demonstrate the softness of his character is remarkable:

a) The Prophet will speed up the prayer in the prayer when he heard the baby crying, with consideration of the anxiety of the mother towards her child.

b) Once the Prophet never stop the movement of troops because of concern about a bird who are grieving because their children were arrested by some soldiers. The army was again moved forward after the soldiers return the child to its mother bird.

c) He avoided a direct warning to his people. Messenger prefer to reprimand the smooth words like, "What about people who feel too proud to do my own thing to do?"

d) The Messenger of spoiling her children and joking with them. Anas said, "The Prophet was always hanging out with us (the kids), sometimes he said to my sister, 'O father Umair, what do these little birds?" (Bukhari).

e) The Prophet Muhammad allowed his house be used as a playground. Aisha said, "I used to play dolls in the house of the Prophet, and my girlfriends are also used to play with me. Every time the Prophet came (to my place), they hide, but the Prophet always call them to join and play with me." (Bukhari).

f) The Prophet once said, "Do not none of you who say,''my soul be evil, 'but should say,' my soul to be cruel." (Bukhari-Muslim).

According to Ibn Hajar, citing Al-Khattabi, evil and cruel almost identical in meaning, but the Prophet did not like the word evil nature and choose a safer cruel expression. Indeed, this is his habit to replace the unpleasant term with more subtle. This hadith implies that the vocabulary that is not fun to be avoided. The point is to avoid phrases like "my soul be evil" is an act of kindness toward yourself.

g) The Prophet had great respect for his wives and treat them gently. For example, he usually offers his knee to step on his wife (Safiyyah) whenever Safiyyah want to ride camels.

h) The Prophet of Islam often berkhutbah about the "softness" of God to man. In a hadith, he said, "When God has completed His creation, He wrote on his Throne, 'My Mercy control my fury." (Bukhari-Muslim).

Still want to be a grumpy person, hater, pendongkol and vindictive? Never, ah! Prophet certainly did not like his people accepted that. Hopefully we can imitate the behavior of the Prophet, even though only a small portion.

Testament of Prophet Muhammad

By: Nur Akbar Agustiar

From Abu Najih 'Irbadh bin Sariyah (rodhiallahu' anhu) he said, "The Prophet Muhammad once advised us that throb with the advice and shed tears. We asked, O Messenger of Allah, it seems this is a parting advice, because it give us advice. He said, "I bequeath to you to maintain devotion to Allah 'aza wa Jalla, subject to obey (the leader) even if you are led by a slave (Ethiopia). Because the people who live after me will see many disputes. Let you hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah Khulafah Rasyidin who provided instructions (God). Hold firmly with the sunna molars and depart from the teachings of the new (in religion) because all innovation is misguidance. "(Reported by Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi).



Prophet Muhammad had predicted the state's people after the death of his later. There will be a huge dispute on the people of the Prophet Muhammad. Because he also told his companions intestate as a handle in the future. This will also apply to us, and all the people of the Prophet Muhammad. There are two wills Prophet Muhammad described by friends as thrilling and shed tears.

First, piety to God and submit to the leader. Devotion to God Almighty is the key provision, the main provision for Muslims. Anyone who follows the rules of God. Away from His prohibitions, and carry out His commandments. He would certainly have saved the world hereafter. Obedient to the leader to minimize discord. In the event of rebellion to the leader. Or vote of no confidence to the leaders. So the bloodshed can not be inevitable. History has recorded many such things.

It is also guaranteed by God, His Word, "O ye who believe, obey Allah and obey His Messenger, and ulil amri among you. Then if you are different opinions about something, refer it to Allah (Qur'an) and Prophet (Sunnah), if you truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is more mainstream (for you) and the better the outcome. " (An Nissa [4]: ​​59).

Second, firmly adhere to the sunna and the sunna Prophet Khulafah Rasyidin. As menggitnya with graham teeth. Here is how the Prophet Muhammad warned us he tuk uphold traditions. If we look at the verses which hinted to obey Allah SWT is always adjacent to obey His Messenger.
View (Ali Imran [2]: 32), (An Nisa [4]: ​​13, 14, 59, 80), (Al Anfaal [8]: 24, 46), (Al Maidah [5]: 92)

This shows how important it is to uphold the sunna Prophet Muhammad and menghidupakannnya. So is the sunna Khulafah Rasyidin. Four friends who we know as the first four caliphs. Known for his religious splendor and proficiency in the lead. Namely Abu Bakr As Shidiq, Umar ibn Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, Ali ibn Abi Talib.

According to Imam Nawawi that is Khulafah Rasyidin are the four caliphs, namely: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali. Imam Ibn Daqil 'Eid also explained that they are the four caliphs were based on consensus. Ibn Taymiyyah in Minhaju As Sunnah An Nabawiyah, explaining that the Prophet Muhammad has told us about their leadership, "Caliphate after me lasted for thirty years. Abu Bakr held the government for 2 years, 10 years old Umar, Uthman and Ali 12 years 6 years ". And Allaah knows best-bish shawab.
