Know Islam

One time, a conversation between a husband and wife.

"Bang, the number of Muslims tuh ya less than Christians?"
"Yeah if international size smaller."
"Hmm ... not to mention the munafiqin within Islam itself ya bang? (wal'iyya dzubillah.) "
"Yeah ..."
"Not to mention the people who think liberals huh?
"Yeah ..."
"Not again ..."

You know my sister, not to mention that last one what?
Not to mention people who might actually claims to be Muslim, but he did not know Islam and may not understand that he has been out of Islam. We seek refuge in Allah from such a case.

What is Islam?

The meaning of Islam as defined by the scholars is

االأستسلام لله بالتوحيدد

al istislamu lillahi bit monotheism

و الأنقياد له بالطاعة
wal lahu inqiyaadu bit too'ah

و البراءة من الشرك و أهله
wal barooatu minasyirki wa ahlihi

Let's be clear one by one definition.

1. Submit to God in a way just to worship Him and not to other than Him.

It means we really do worship, and all forms of servitude to Allah only.

"Say: He is Allah, the Almighty. God is the God who rely on Him all things. He is no birth nor begotten, and there is none equal to Him. "(Surat Al-Ikhlas [112]: 1-4)

For example, most of our relatives are still hard to trust in astrology (the zodiac) and the determination of good and bad based on this (he means business, and hopes hung on something other than God). Yet the unseen things of God only knows and only God is someone to hang all business other than business does.

Finally, the case is hard to break it spread to other things that also are forms that can be issued kesyirikan someone from Islam. So for this first point, we must improve the science of monotheism. And do not feel safe and feel smart enough to say "Ah, sick of tawhid bahasannya continued." Is not Allah wa sallam shallallahu'alaihi preach in Mecca for 13 years to instill this important foundation to friends? Once the importance of unity, because the basis for the worship of others. And so the importance of unity is, to all registered religious charity as a religious practice and not simply be erased by kesyirikan.

As an example of the importance of unity, there would be no great victory in the jihad fi Sabilillah when there are things that are destructive of unity, like a charm, depending on the genie, aji refused reinforcements and so on.

2. Lowered adherence

That is, a Muslim bent all forms of obedience to God by carrying out all the commandments of Allah and His Messenger. Maybe we are not aware, that as long as we are not obedient to Allah and His Messenger sebagaiman instructed by the shari'ah. Even we fell on the behavior of people who they put forward Jaahiliyyah obedience to the elders that if the trace was not taught the things according to His shari'ah.

اوإذا قيل لهم تعالوا إلى ما أنزل الله وإلى الرسول قالوا حسبنا ما وجدنا عليه آباءنا أولو كان آباؤهم لا يعلمون شيئا ولا يهتدون

"When it is said unto them: Let's follow what Allah hath revealed, and follow the Messenger." They said: "Enough for us what we found our fathers doing." And if they were going to follow their fathers even if their ancestors were not knowing nothing and not (also) get a clue? "(Surat al Maaidah [5]: 104)

As a small example, having been taught from childhood to celebrate the prophet Maulid, Isra Ascension and major holidays are even used as a national holiday, so we think that we should obey and go celebrate. And if we really obey Allah and His Messenger, then we submit and surrender do not celebrate these days because these days not disyari'atkan (not ordered) by Allah and His Messenger.

3. Free of shirk and the perpetrator

If a person surrendered to God only and not to others, then he will quit from kesyirikan and perpetrators. Because it is useless the whole practice of a Muslim if he did kesyirikan.

ولو أشركوا لحبط عنهم ما كانوا يعملون

"... If they were to ally God, will disappear from their deeds that they have done." (Surat al-An'am [6]: 88)

Examples of this problem is the Christmas greeting to the Christian. And obviously by their celebrated Christmas in order to 'birth' of Jesus (which is considered a god). So if we congratulate them, this can mean the agreed day and means to recognize the existence of god but Allah.

That kesyirikan, sometimes very subtle unseen directly, but it was destroyed. For that reason, the Muslims are advised to read the following prayer for all forms that may kesyirikan unconsciously done, forgiven by Allaah.

اللهم إني أعوذ بك أن أشرك بك و انا أعلم و أستغفرك لما لا اعلم
Allahuma inni 'a udzu bika an usyrika bika a'lamu wa ana wa laa astaghfiruka limaa a' lam.

"O Allah, I seek refuge from thee kesyirikan do I know, and I begged that ampunanmu of kesyirikan I do not know." (Narrated by Ahmad)

May be a brief introduction about Islam that will benefit us all. Aamiin.
