narcotics in Islamic law

Assalamualaikum fellow Muslim brother

Narcotics are substances or drugs derived from plants or plant not either synthetic or semi-synthetic that can cause a reduction or alteration of consciousness, loss of taste, reduce to relieve pain, and can lead to dependence.

Psychotropic substances or drugs are either natural or synthetic non-narcotic, which merit psychoactive through selective effect on the central nervous system that causes the typical changes in mental activity and behavior. More often used by doctors to treat mental disorders.

The Dangers Of Drugs

The influence of drugs in general there are three:

1. Depressants
Pressing up or slow down the central nervous system function so as to reduce the functional activity of the body.
Can make the wearer feel calm, giving a sense soared, giving the feeling of happiness and even put him to sleep or unconsciousness

2. Stimulants
Stimulates the central nervous system and improve excitement (fresh and excited) and consciousness.
These drugs can work reduce sleepiness due to fatigue, reduced appetite, speed up heart rate, blood pressure and respiration.

3. Hallucinogens
Can alter sensory stimulation clear and change the feelings and thoughts that lead to a false impression or hallucinations.
The scholars agreed illicit drugs when not in an emergency. Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah said, "Drugs as well as intoxicating substances prohibited by the consensus of the scholars. In fact, any substance that can eliminate a reasonable, though not forbidden to consume intoxicating "(Majmu 'Al-Fataawa, 34: 204).
The arguments that support illicit drugs:
First: Allaah says,
ويحل لهم الطيبات ويحرم عليهم الخبائث
"And for them to justify all that is good and forbids them evil things" (QS. Al A'rof: 157). Each of the khobits prohibited by this paragraph. Among khobits meaning is that a negative effect.

Consuming Drugs in Emergencies
Sometimes several types of drugs included in the drug or drugs are needed for the sick to treat wounds or to reduce pain. This is an emergency. And under these circumstances is permissible in view of kaedah often cited by scholars,
الضرورة تبيح المحظورات
"Emergencies allow anything forbidden"
Imam Nawawi rahimahullah said, "If I needed to consume the majority of drugs to reduce pain when amputate hands, then there are two opinions among Syafi'iyah. The right is permissible. "
Al Khotib Ash Syarbini of the Syafi'iyah said, "Allow use of similar drugs in the treatment when no other drugs were found although eventually cause intoxicating effects because this condition is an emergency".

Thus our brief discussion about the law regarding drugs. In essence, Islam is very concerned about the safety of all sense and soul of a Muslim so until forbidden various illicit consumption of such drugs. However, due to bad environmental influences, young people today are easily affected by gelamornya world. So that they were affected by bad friends who invite to far from God. Advice of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam really could be a lesson for us all.
مثل الجليس الصالح والجليس السوء كمثل صاحب المسك, وكير الحداد, لا يعدمك من صاحب المسك إما تشتريه, أو تجد ريحه, وكير الحداد يحرق بدنك أو ثوبك أو تجد منه ريحا خبيثة
"Someone who sit (friends) with the ugly Salih and those who are like friends with the owner of musk oil and blacksmith. If you are not awarded to him musk oil, you can buy from him, or at least can smell. As for friends with a blacksmith, if you do not find the body or clothes burned, the minimum you can smell bad "(HR. Bukhari no. 2101, from Abu Musa).
Hope God continues to give guidance for the sake of guidance.

Assalamualaikum brother BELIEVER

we now shaken by the news of the prime minister australia statement that rehash donation that is given to the tsunami Aceh.Furious with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott's statement that rehash assistance to the people of Aceh after the country was hit by the tsunami in 2004 and the plan of execution of its citizens who become death row drug cases, resulting in protests across Indonesia and even the world.then what we can take a lesson from this incident, we as Muslims must know that we should not bring up giving us the past.
we as Muslims when we give something to somebody must of course be in the underlying with a sense of sincerity, there are words of wisdom that says "when the right hand gives the left hand should not know"Every charity that depends on his intentions. Messenger of Allah said:"Indeed, it is nothing but charity with real intent and for everyone what is intended." 

(Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim)May God blessed us with a sincere heart. because no matter how we do something to fry sweat drenched in sweat, exhausted and drained mind power, if not willingly do so, there will be no value in the sight of God. Fight with the enemy, but if you just want to be called a hero, he does not have any value.
Spend their entire fortune if only wanted to be identified as a philanthropist, he was not going to have any value. Azan every prayer time, but during the call to prayer is not God intended, just wanted to show off the beauty of the sound of the call to prayer in order to become a champion or thrilling someone, then it just shouts are not worth before God, not worth!Ikhlas, located on the intentions of the heart. Outstanding once the importance of this intention, because the intention is charity binder.
People who have never noticed intentions in his heart, be prepared to waste time, effort, and treasure with no meaning. Sincerity someone really be very important and will make life very easy, beautiful, and so much more meaningful.

Weighing a peaceful heart in Musing

Grief and panic often plagued humans while being dogged by a small problem. Or it could be that arises because a considerable problem, which we are not able to bear it alone.

From this we have felt the effects of the enormity of educating the heart. Due to a peaceful heart can be rest for all the kindness and peace. That is why attention to the condition of the heart should get a portion of keen attention and greater.

Unfortunately, in modern times, encouraging the heart more defeated by the construction quality of the brain. From there comes a lot of things that lead to the easy once the stress, depression, and panic. Humans are many who think only with logic, and or about something that is very real. And when it comes time God confers trials difficulties, themselves would say that it is difficult and complicated. This will of course be different when the liver which then speak and interpret the situation. It will feel different viewpoints of course, which is directly proportional to peace.

Indeed true that tremendous power over the hearts of the control body and the human soul. This is similar to the Prophet in the hadith that says that the heart is the center of the vortex to the entire limb. Peace heart made all parts of the body and soul was dissolved in peace. Conversely, a reflection of the damaged liver and dirty is not likely to be masked by the oral and whole body movement.

Peaceful heart is a vital way to improve life. Whatever will be lighter when the liver expressed peacefully.

... Peace heart really can be a backrest for all goodness. Peaceful heart is a vital way to improve life. And the estuary of the peace is the intimacy of our relationship to God almighty give you peace ...

Remembered Talhah who was wounded in the head during a battle of Uhud. Due to a severe injury to the extent that he too was unconscious. Even the blood was blood pouring from his head. Abu Bakarpun could help him, he then threw water on the face of Talha. Until Talha awakened self.

First sentence he said when he woke up was "What did the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam?". Abu Bakr replied: He is good, he sent me to see you.

Talha said: Thank God, all disaster afterwards (ie: after knowing that the Apostle in good condition) was small.

Subhanallah .. even injured body parahpun not feel it. Very trivial and almost unthinkable, because her adrift with a greater love for the salvation of the Prophet. All the pain paid off with news good news is he and all musibahnya feels very small.

True true inner peace can be rest for all the kindness and good luck. A life that is not built on peace of mind, is like building a sand castle waiting for the tides .and the estuary of the peace is the intimacy of our relationship to God almighty give you peace.

For increasing and decreasing faith

Once we know that faith increases and decreases, then the familiar causes increasing and decreasing benefits and faith has become very important. It is appropriate that a Muslim to know then apply and practice it in everyday life, in order to perfect and grow strong in the faith. Also to keep away from his opponent to the decreasing faith so as to keep themselves and survive in the world and the hereafter.

Sheikh Abdurrahman as-Sa'di rahimahullah explained that a slave who get guidance from Allah Almighty always tried to do two things:

1. Realizing faith and its branches and apply both science and charity together.

2. Trying to reject all that oppose and remove or reduce the faith of slanders are visible and hidden, treat deficiencies of early and treat so with repentance and to know the case before it is lost. [1]

Brought faith and fortified them done by knowing the causes of the increase in faith and carry it out. While trying to reject and oppose all that removes done by knowing the causes reduction in faith and be careful of falling in it.

Causes of Increasing Faith

First: Learn useful knowledge derived from al-Qur`aan and Sunnah. This becomes important because the increase of faith and science be useful as a means of worship to Allaah and realize Tawheed and fit properly. Added faith gained from science can occur from diverse sides, among them:

1. Side discharge of scientists in search of knowledge

2. She sat them in Halaqah science

3. Mudzakarah (discussions) between them in matters of science

4. Addition of knowledge of God and His Shari'ah

5. Application of knowledge they have learned

6. Additional reward of those who learn from them

Second: Reflecting verses kauniyah. Contemplate and analyze the situation and the existence of the creatures of Allah Almighty's diverse and amazing is a very strong motivating factor for the faith and strengthen faith.

Sheikh Abdurrahman as-Sa'di rahimahullah stated, "Among the causes and factors driving belief is reflective to the universe in the form of the creation of the heavens and the earth and its inhabitants and creatures makhuk man examine itself and its properties owned. These are all strong motivating factor for the increase of faith ". [2]

Third: Trying to earnestly implement the righteous deeds with sincerity, propagate and mensinambungkannya. This is because all the deeds performed with sincerity Shari'a will add to the faith. By faith increases with increasing number of deeds of obedience and worship.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn al Uthaymeen rahimahullah once said, "Among the causes accretion of faith is doing obedience. Because faith will increase with good implementation, the type and amount of practice. The better practice, the greater the addition of faith and good implements selected because there is with sincere and mutaba'ah (as examples of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam). While this type of practice, then that must be greater than the Sunnah and part charity and obedience is more emphasized than the other major. The more major the obedience, the greater the addition of faith. As much (quantity) practice, it will add to the faith, because the practice of including a part of faith. So that faith definitely increases with practice. "[3]

Causes of Reduced Faith

The causes of reduced faith there that comes from the man himself (internal factors) and none from the outside (external factors).

Internal factors reduced the faith

First: Ignorance. It is the biggest cause reduction in the faith, as science is the biggest cause increased faith.

Second: Negligence, attitude and forgot to turn away from the truth. Three cases this is one of the important causes reduction in faith.

Third: The act of immorality and sin. Obviously disobedience and sin are very harmful and have a bad effect on the faith. As the implementation of the orders of Allah Ta'ala add to the faith, as well as violations of the prohibition Allaah reduce faith. But of course, sin and wickedness terraced degrees, damage and loss caused, as stated by Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah in his phrase, "It is certain disbelief, wickedness and disobedience stratified as faith and good deeds were stratified". [4 ]

Fourth: Lust are invited to evil (an-lust ammaratu bissu '). Here's appetite in humans and reprehensible. Lust is invited to the ugliness and misery, as Allaah described the wife tells al-Aziz,

وما أبرئ نفسي إن النفس لأمارة بالسوء إلا ما رحم ربي إن ربي غفور رحيم

"And I do not absolve myself (of error), because lust Indeed it is always sent to the crime, except for those my Lord has mercy. Surely my Lord is Forgiving, infinite care. "(Surah Yusuf: 53)

Lust is dragging people to disobedience and destruction of faith, so that we are obliged to seek refuge in Allaah from him and tried to bermuhasabah before charity and thereafter.

External factors reduced the faith

First: Satan eternal enemy of man which is an important cause of external influence and reduce strong faith.

Second: The World and slander (temptation) it. Busied themselves with the world and jewels including the causes that can reduce faith. Because humans have more spirit world and increasingly want it, the more incriminating himself doing obedience and seek happiness hereafter, Imam Ibn al-Qayyim sebagaiman spoken.

Third: Friends hanging out the ugly. Friends are ugly and evil into something very dangerous to faith, morals and religion. Because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has warned us of this in his word,

الرجل على دين خليله فلينظر أحدكم من يخالل

"A religion that is above her lover (close friend), then it should be one you see who becomes her lover." [5]

Such cases must be considered in the faith, hopefully this can move us to further strengthen and refine faith.

" People are intelligent people who always remember DEATH and always fixing to DIE preparation " .........

faith determines your happiness

Determine your faith happiness

Miserable people who actually are poor they are experiencing a crisis of faith and belief. They have, always will be in tribulation, wrath, and humiliation. Allah the Exalted says:

ومن أعرض عن ذكري فإن له معيشة ضنكا ونحشره يوم القيامة أعمى

"And those who turn away from Me, then surely narrow for her livelihood, and We shall raise at the last day in a state of blind." (QS. Thaahaa: 124)

Life narrow, congested, and weight as a result of turning torment, broken, and Kufr against the Qur'an as a source of guidance and faith.

There is nothing to be happy soul, cleanse and purify it, make him happy and repel anxiety except true faith in God, Rabba Worlds. In short, life will seem bland without faith.

In short, life will seem bland without faith.

In view of the atheists, the best way to liberate the soul is with suicide. According to them, the suicidal person will be free from all pressures, darkness, and a world disaster. How unfortunate life without faith. The pain of punishment and torment in the Hereafter will be felt by people who deviate from God's guidance.

ونقلب أفئدتهم وأبصارهم كما لم يؤمنوا به أول مرة ونذرهم في طغيانهم يعمهون

"And (so did) We turn hearts and their vision as they have not been faithful to him (the Qur'an) in the beginning, and we let them wallow in their error very." (QS. Al-An'am: 110)

In view of the atheists, the best way to liberate the soul is with suicide.

Now it is time for the world received with genuine, sincere and full of confidence that, "There is no god worthy of worship but Allah." However, the experience and the human trials in the history of the life of this world over the centuries has proved a lot of things; realize that the idols were only a mere superstition, paganism was anathema, atheism was a lie, and the apostles were true, and God was Mahabenar. It is Allah who has the kingdom of the earth and the sky, all the puja and Praise be to Him, He has power over all things.

How big and small, strong and weak, warm and cool your faith, then the extent of that happiness, tranquility, peace and tranquility you get.

Allaah says,

من عمل صالحا من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فلنحيينه حياة طيبة ولنجزينهم أجرهم بأحسن ما كانوا يعملون

"Those who do righteous deeds, both men and women in a state of faith, verily to him will We give a good life and verily We shall give a reply to them with a better reward than what they have done." (QS . Al-Nahl: 97)

You mean the good life (hayah tayyibah) in this verse is the peace of their souls with good promise of his Lord, perseverance in the love of God, their sanctity deviation of the elements of faith, their composure in the face of every fact of life, their eagerness to accept and undergo God's provision, and their sincerity in the face of destiny. And it all, in fact because they ridla God as his Lord, Islam as their religion, and Muhammad as a prophet and messenger sent by God to them.

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said:

ذاق طعم الإيمان من رضي بالله ربا وبالإسلام دينا وبمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم رسولا

"It would have tasted the sweetness of faith who ridla God as Lord, Islam as a deen / regimen, and Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam as an apostle." (HR. Muslims of al-Abbas ibn' Abd al-Muttalib).

According to Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah, if three keridlaan there in person then he has become a true and honest people in the faith. This is in accordance with the word of God,

إنما المؤمنون الذين آمنوا بالله ورسوله ثم لم يرتابوا وجاهدوا بأموالهم وأنفسهم في سبيل الله أولئك هم الصادقون

"Indeed, the believers who actually are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, then they do not hesitate anymore, and they strive with their wealth and their lives in the way of Allah. They are the people the truth. "(QS. Al Hujurat: 15)

In Shahihain, from Anas bin Malik, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said; "Three things are contained in a person, then he will feel the sweetness of faith: God and His Messenger more than he loved besides the two, it is not a person but because he loves God, and he hates to return to disbelief after Allah saved him as he hates to be thrown into hell. "

In the history of Imam Ahmad, Abu Razin al 'Uqaili rahimahullah, "If you like it then really faith has come into your heart as well as the inclusion of a love for the water to a thirsty person in the middle of a sunny day."

Ibn Qayim tells about his teacher, Ibn Taymiyyah: "What I've heard Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said," Verily in the world there is a heaven. Those who do not enter it, then he will not be able to enter heaven hereafter. "

"Indeed, in the world there is a heaven. Those who do not enter it, then he will not be able to enter heaven hereafter. "

patient's role in life

Humans in life are always faced with various difficulties and disasters. All it requires fortitude and strength. Otherwise, people will be swept away and vanished.

Indeed the world is a place of examination and charity. While the hereafter where accountability and reckoning. And as long as people are still living in a world that will never escape from the trials and tribulations of life as a means to prove the truth of the faith of a servant of God. So it's odd that when a person gets calamity and hardship and grumbling, chided here and there, even wanted to end his life. Did not realize that he was still in the world? While the world is a place of examination and charity.

الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملا وهو العزيز الغفور الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملا وهو العزيز الغفور

"Essence of making life and death, in order that He might try you, who among you a better charity. And He is the Mighty, the Forgiving. "(QS. Al-Mulk: 2)

And as long as people are still living in a world that will never escape from the trials and tribulations of life as a means to prove the truth of the faith of a servant of God.

Exam Part Of sunnatullah

Allah the Exalted says:

أحسب الناس أن يتركوا أن يقولوا آمنا وهم لا يفتنون

"Do men think that they are allowed to say:" We believe ", and they will not be tested?" (QS. Al-'Ankabut: 2)

God told of wisdom (wisdom) His perfect, that He will not let just people who say "I'm a believer" and claimed that he had been bearing the title of faith, without overwritten slander and exams that will tempt faith. If such a case, there is no difference between people who are true in faith and the lie, the true believers and hypocritical, cowardly and brave.

But the Sunnah (provision) of God which is in force for the people of previous generations and are still valid for this people that God will bring them examinations such pleasure and distress, difficulty or ease, wealth or poverty.

ونبلوكم بالشر والخير فتنة وإلينا ترجعون

"And We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. And just to you is we returned. "(QS. Al-Anbiya ': 35)

. . . that Allah will afflict them examinations such pleasure and distress, difficulty or ease, wealth or poverty.

Lessons learned from all of that to get God knows (and Allah knows something has happened, is happening, and will happen) who among them who believe and devote themselves to God alone in all the conditions?

ولقد فتنا الذين من قبلهم فليعلمن الله الذين صدقوا وليعلمن الكاذبين

"And indeed, we have tested those before them, Allah knows those who really and surely He knows those who lie." (QS. Al-'Ankabut: 3)

There are some people when it gets the pleasure, ease and wealth become righteous, but when stuck in grief, trouble, and poverty became disbelievers. "And of mankind is he who worships Allah by being on the edge (doubt). So if he acquire virtue, he remains in that state, and when he was struck by a disaster, turn it backwards (disbelievers in Allah). Lost it in the world and in the hereafter. That is a real loss. "(QS. Al-Hajj: 11)

And some are otherwise. "He is the God who made you can walk on land and at sea. So if you were in the ark, and the ark glide bring people who are in it with a good wind, and they rejoice in it, came the storm winds, and waves from all directions befall him, and they believe that they have besieged, then they pray to God with obedience to Him mengikhlaskan simply: "if You save us from this danger, we must be among those who are grateful." And when God saved them, suddenly they create injustice in the earth without right. "(Surah. Yunus: 22-23)

As for the righteous in believing he will always fear Allah and devote themselves to him under any circumstances. If he gets the pleasure, ease, and wealth he was grateful. But if overwritten difficulty, distress, and poverty he perseveres.

Word of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam:

عجبا لأمر المؤمن إن أمره كله خير وليس ذاك لأحد إلا للمؤمن إن أصابته سراء شكر فكان خيرا له وإن أصابته ضراء صبر فكان خيرا له

"It is amazing the affairs of a believer. Really the whole affairs is good. And it is not owned by anyone except a believer. If overwritten pleasure he was grateful, then it is good for him. And if misfortune befalls her patient, then it is also good for him. "(HR. Muslims of Suhaib al-Rumi)

. . . people are correct in believing he will always fear Allah and devote themselves to him under any circumstances.

Deterioration Muslims Exam For Those

Even the heathen domination over Muslims are part of God exam. Attacks on their enemies with oral, written, information, until the military invasion, both done by the hands of pagan idolaters directly or through the hands of their accomplices from among thaghuut, is part of a test of faith for them. Who remain committed and in this slander condition? And who turned and sells his faith to unbelievers to get the world? Who really defend God, and those who fear to his enemies?

لقد أرسلنا رسلنا بالبينات وأنزلنا معهم الكتاب والميزان ليقوم الناس بالقسط وأنزلنا الحديد فيه بأس شديد ومنافع للناس وليعلم الله من ينصره ورسله بالغيب إن الله قوي عزيز

"And We have created an iron on which there is a great power and a wide range of benefits to humans, and that God may know who helps Him and His apostles when God has not seen. Verily Allah is Strong, Mighty. "(QS. Al-Hadid: 25)

Though Allah is Strong and Mighty. There is nothing to weaken and defeat. What wills happens and what definitely does not desire will never happen. He has power to defeat his enemies. But He tested the guardian with his enemies so that it is clear who is willing to help Allah and His Messenger and Allah has not seen. Then He will help anyone who helped him and affirm his pace.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا إن تنصروا الله ينصركم ويثبت أقدامكم

"O ye who believe, if you help Allah, He will help you and affirm your position." (QS. Muhammad: 7)

Then "If Allah helps you, then there are people who can beat you; if God let you, then who the hell that can help you from God after that? But let God be the believers put my trust. "(QS. Al 'Imran: 160)

But He tested the guardian with his enemies so that it is clear who is willing to help Allah and His Messenger and Allah has not seen.

Then He will help anyone who helped him and affirm his pace.

Patience For A Believer

A Muslim man in her life many require patience. He was always in goodness as long as he was able to keep his temper. Obedience requires patience. Leave immoral also requires patience. Especially in the face of disaster, it takes patience. Therefore, patience is unequaled strength. The light that always meyinari owner and always leads to al-Haq and truth. Naturally, if a Muslim patient a lot of praise of God and a high degree on his side.

ولنبلونكم بشيء من الخوف والجوع ونقص من الأموال والأنفس والثمرات وبشر الصابرين الذين إذا أصابتهم مصيبة قالوا إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون أولئك عليهم صلوات من ربهم ورحمة وأولئك هم المهتدون

"Be sure we shall test you with something of fear, hunger, lack of wealth, lives and fruits. And give glad tidings to those who patiently. Ie people who, when misfortune befalls, they say: "Wa Inna lillaahi Innaa Ilaihi Raaji'uun" (Surely we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return). Were the ones who got a perfect blessing and mercy from their Lord, and they are the ones that receive guidance. "(QS. Al-Baqarah: 155-157)

يا أيها الذين آمنوا استعينوا بالصبر والصلاة إن الله مع الصابرين

"O ye who believe, teach patience and prayers as penolongmu, verily Allah is with those who patiently." (QS. Al-Baqarah: 153)

The virtue of Patience

Faith is divided into two parts; patient and the remaining half is gratitude. Anyone who expects the safety and happiness of living in the world and the hereafter should not underestimate these two things.

Imam Ahmad said that the patient mentioned by God's word in 90 places in the Qur'an which is followed by descriptions of various glory and a high degree, as well as making a high degree of glory and is a fruit. Among them:

1. Allah has praised the people for their patience and mejanjikan reward uninterrupted.

3. God loves them.

وكأين من نبي قاتل معه ربيون كثير فما وهنوا لما أصابهم في سبيل الله وما ضعفوا وما استكانوا والله يحب الصابرين

"And how many prophets who fought with them a large number of followers (his) who restrain themselves. They do not become weak because of the disaster that befell them in the way of Allah, and not weaken (in will) nor give (to the enemy). Allah loves those who are patient. "(QS. Al 'Imran: 146)

4. God made the requisite leadership in the deen is on patient and confident.

وجعلنا منهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا لما صبروا وكانوا بآياتنا يوقنون

"And We made between them that the leaders who guide by Our command when they were patient. And it is they believe in Our Signs. "(QS. As-Sajda: 24)

5. With patience and piety enemy will not be able to defeat the Muslims how strong they are. While they do not deceit was beguna over patient people.

وإن تصبروا وتتقوا لا يضركم كيدهم شيئا إن الله بما يعملون محيط

"If you are patient and cautious, surely they are a little trickery did not bring kemudaratan to you. Allah knows all that they do. "(QS. Al 'Imran: 120)

"If you are patient and cautious, then indeed that, it includes matters that should be prioritized." (QS. Al 'Imran: 186), and other virtues.

It is based on the words of the Prophet: "Lie on your right side." (HR. Al-Bukhari no. 247 and Muslim, no. 2710)

"Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam when sleeping put his right hand under his right cheek." (HR. Abu Dawud no. 5045, No. 3395 At Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Ibn Hibban No. 3877 No. 2350)

But if you let it go, then guard, as you maintain a servant -hamba thy righteous. "(HR. Al-Bukhari No. 6320, Muslim No. 2714, No. 5050 Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi No. 3401)

Highly Need In God, Signs Happy World Hereafter

In times of adversity struck, when the heart was feeling desperate, who expected only the help of God. Merely a servant who indigent. While God is Al Ghoniy, the Rich, who did not take on everything. Even Allah place depends all creatures.

Allaah says,

يا أيها الناس أنتم الفقراء إلى الله والله هو الغني الحميد

"Hey man, you are the very need of Allah; and Allah is He Who is Rich (do not need anything else), the Praised." (QS. Fatir: 15)

In this noble verse, Allaah explains that He is the Rich, no need at all to other than Him. Even whole makhluklah who really need Him. The whole thing was the one who humble themselves before Him. [1]

Ibn Kathir rahimahullah said, "The whole thing is very needed in God in every activity, even in silence they once did. In the One, God does not need them. Therefore, God says that He is the Rich, the Praised, namely God the one who be alone, no need to His creatures, there is no partner for Him. God is the Praised at what he did and said, also on what He has destined. "[2]

The whole thing really really need God in many ways.

Creatures can still continue to live, that the grace of God.

Their limbs so strong as to lead the activity, it was because of the gift of God.

They can get food, good luck, favors outwardly and inwardly, it was because of the good that God had given.

They can survive the various calamities, hardship and misery, it was because God who removes it all.

It is Allah that gives them guidance with a variety of things so that they can survive.

So, it is very needed in God's creatures in servitude to Him, love Him, worship Him, and worship Him mengikhlaskan. If they do not do this kind of servitude, they would be destroyed, as well as the soul, the heart, and the conditions they will perish. [3]

Among the forms of God Ghina (no need to His creatures) is God does not need to obedience performed by the devout. There is no harm to Allah at all if the servant sinner. If all the creatures that exist on this earth believers, will not add to His kingdom slightest. Similarly, if all the creatures of the earth, pagan, nor diminish his kingdom in the slightest.

Allaah says,

ومن شكر فإنما يشكر لنفسه ومن كفر فإن ربي غني كريم

"And whoever grateful verily He is grateful for (the good of) his own. And he who disbelieve, then verily the Rich Rabbku of Glory." (QS. An Naml: 40)

ومن جاهد فإنما يجاهد لنفسه إن الله لغني عن العالمين

"But those who strive, then surely that jihad is for himself. Allah is the Rich (do not need anything) of the Worlds." (QS. Al ''Ankabut: 6)

فكفروا وتولوا واستغنى الله والله غني حميد

"Then they disbelieve and turn away; and God does not need (them). And Allah is Rich, the Praised." (QS. At Taghobun: 6)

إن تكفروا أنتم ومن في الأرض جميعا فإن الله لغني حميد

"If you and the people on earth are all deny (Allah's blessings) verily Allah is Rich, the Praised." (QS. Ibrahim: 8)

In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah the Exalted says,

يا عبادى لو أن أولكم وآخركم وإنسكم وجنكم كانوا على أتقى قلب رجل واحد منكم ما زاد ذلك فى ملكى شيئا يا عبادى لو أن أولكم وآخركم وإنسكم وجنكم كانوا على أفجر قلب رجل واحد ما نقص ذلك من ملكى شيئا

"O My servants, if the previous and the last of you, mankind and jinn, they were pious as the most pious among you, will not increase my power in the slightest. If those earlier and the last of you, mankind and jinn, they were to be wicked as the most wicked man among you, will not reduce my power a little too well. "(HR. Muslim, no. 2577)

Among the forms of Ghina Allah (God does not need him on everything) is God does not need the donation from people who berinfak and so God does not get any danger if someone were stingy. Allaah says,

ومن يبخل فإنما يبخل عن نفسه والله الغني وأنتم الفقراء

"And who is miserly, surely He is just stingy with himself. And God Who is Rich while you are the people who need (him)." (QS. Muhammad: 38)

Among the forms of Ghina Allah (God does not need him on everything) is God's liberation of the various' disgrace and disadvantages. Whoever establishes the imperfect to God, then it means it has disfigure Ghina nature of God. Allaah says,

قالوا اتخذ الله ولدا سبحانه هو الغني له ما في السماوات وما في الأرض

"They (Jews and Christians) said:" Allah mempuyai child. "Most holy God; He Who is Rich; His is what is in the heavens and on earth." (QS. Yunus: 68)

Nothing compares with God and not others so match for him. That is another form of Ghina God. So how does one equate being needy with God. How could God Ghoni the Rich equated with servants. Allaah says,

لقد كفر الذين قالوا إن الله هو المسيح ابن مريم قل فمن يملك من الله شيئا إن أراد أن يهلك المسيح ابن مريم وأمه ومن في الأرض جميعا ولله ملك السماوات والأرض وما بينهما يخلق ما يشاء والله على كل شيء قدير

"It has actually been disbelievers are those who say:" Allah it is Al was the son of Mary. "Say:" Who then (possibly) that can obstruct the will of God, if He wanted to destroy Al was the son of Mary and his mother and the whole people who are in all of the earth? ". Unto God is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them; He creates what He wills. and Allah has power over all things." (QS. Al Maidah: 17)

Among the forms of Ghina Allah (God does not need him on everything) is His slave so need to pray to Him every moment. God also promised to grant it. God also commanded his servants to worship and God's promise of reward.

Whoever knows God has Ghina properties (it does not take on everything other than Him), then he will recognize himself indigent and really need God. If the slave has to know that he is very needy and desperate for God, it is a happy sign for him in this world and the hereafter. [4]

Hope this lesson useful and led to liver conditioning for all readers.

Question - A Critical questions Sen Leads In Islam

Unlike his creatures other copyrights, man equipped with reason and mind to think. As exemplified by the Prophet Abraham, with all your mind and budinya, he find out who he was, and his creator. Of the thinking process, the creator of the Prophet Abraham lead to one answer, that is Allah, the One Almighty who arranged everything.

Like Ibrahim seek his God, as well as experienced by Ahmad Sugiarto aka A Sen before deciding to embrace Islam. Things. Suffered from a series of processes, A Sen finds its way to Allah and Islam. "There is only one One who set the universe. That is Allah," said A Sen, while attending the celebration of 20 years of the Foundation Haji Karim Oei.

While still embraced length, A Sen sees Islam is not a religion. Because of the time, according to a simple logic Sen, most religions which he knew always use the medium to worship. While when seeing Muslims both in everyday life or in the media, he does not see Islam through the medium in the form of a statue or other symbols to worship. "All that is in front of it (medium statues and other symbols) are worshiped. But Islam, I thought," What is worshiped, no. So this is not a religion, "according to my view of time are not familiar with Islam," said A Sen tells.

A Sen thought about Islam gradually formed through Islamic books and science. A critical Sen, wondering about how the universe is built.

According to his understanding, all things are not created by itself. For example, the word A Sen, this earth there is life because of the presence of the atmosphere. Of the atmosphere, ocean water is absorbed and the sun turns into clouds become rain soaked earth. Without the atmosphere, sea water going dry, there will be no life as it happens in other planets. "The question, of water that never dries. Rupaya nothing to keep that atmosphere, then why is that, so all that perputar, this means there is a set. I then just think who set? Back then I do not know God, "A said Sen.

Nature, become the media A Sen brood. A critical questions immediately arise Sen. For example, why trees produce fruit chili peppers spicy. Then why sugarcane produces a sweet taste. "How can that be? And equally given the same fertilizer and water. There may be sugar or other pecampur material. So sweet and spicy flavor that from?"

Then, Asen referring to himself. Critical questions pushed back. "Hair can continue to grow in length, while the eyelashes grow to a certain extent. Then, if the eyelashes grow steadily as a human hair can be troublesome. This means there are set again," he said.

According to A Sen, critical questions are born of mind without realizing an inspiration or guidance. At that time, A Sen did not know those answers before reading the Koran. See your A Sen with the Koran.

Of the Koran, A Sen find the answer in the form of a gigantic Essence governing the universe is God Almighty. Of the Koran too, A Sen knowing that anything created by man as an ashtray including mediums such as sculpture could not see its creator.

"We make the glass, the glass can not see me, so it is with me who created the Almighty, I can not see my creator. But there is the One Almighty who created, someday will provide opportunities for people to see him," A word Sen

After getting the ultimate answer, critical thinking A Sen soon converge on a conclusion that the only accepted religion of Allah is Islam. A Sen was confused. Because he was still outside the Islamic religion. "Yes, for me, at that time, bother ya. I still embrace another religion is not Islam," said A Sen

Departing from that conclusion, A Sen began studying Islam in secret in his room. Once, when A Sen read the Koran, he got a verse that mentions the command to every Muslim to embrace Islam kaffah. "Sign me keseleuruhan Islamlah. My parents get mad not to play," he said.

A Sen who decided to say the shahadah without guided a cleric, without the presence of other Muslims. In front of the wall of his room, he vowed to become Muslim.

And he explained to his family about his decision to embrace Islam. He told the parents, brother and sister, that religion during the time he and his family hug is not a religion. Who should be worshiped, is the creator of the sun, moon, and stars. Not of his creation is worshiped. The steps followed his brother embraced Islam.

However, he is still hiding his Islam. New in 1996, guided Chairman PITI Jakarta, Sharif Tanudjaja, he uttered shahadah Lautze back in the mosque. Faith foundation built originally more perfect when it deepen in Lautze Mosque.

At that moment, the consequences decided to become Muslims began to appear. Satire, mockery and sentiment turns against him came well within the scope of his home and work environment. However, his belief in Islam is not deterred. Even increasingly strengthen the heart and mind on the road he chose.

"After converting to Islam, by Jove, incredible. God gave me a gift that is not abysmal," he said.

Impressed With Islamic Values, Doctor Germany So converts

In a matter of appearance, Kai Luhr looks the most different. Kai who prostrate among other bearded men dressed in white tunics when bent in the direction of Mecca, looks clean with a clean-shaven face. He was wearing jeans and a gray jacket.

It may be more suitable present in association Church next. However obvious, he understands how to run the five daily prayers. He also did bow and prostrate and pray in Arabic. "God hears those who praise Him", and they fell down again, standing, bowing again, so to sit down and do a greeting tahiyat end.

Kai Luhr is a physician practice in Germany. He converted to Islam with his wife two and a half years ago. Since then he changed his name to Kai Ali Rashid, while his wife turned into Katrin Aisha Luhr.

Both couples had a chance to appear in a television interview. In an interview Katrin Luhr said before was honored in the form of guidance to Islam, he felt his soul is empty. He claimed to go to church from time to time but failed to find the answer he was looking for. Now he claimed never find excitement like this before, also the answer to the question in his mind. He also enjoyed any beneficial changes that he felt after embracing Islam.

While Kai Luhr said he had a big impression with a logical and rational nature of the answers that he acquired so he knows Islam first.

Now the 43-year-old man was regularly attending Friday prayers at the mosque in Frechen, near Cologne, where he congregation along with Moroccan immigrants, Palestinians and two other Germans who also converted to Islam - a former boxer, the other a technician. "You will meet with little original German-born Muslims in any mosque in the days now," said Luhr,

A book contains studies on Islamic life in Germany menukilkan little story of the German doctors. The study gives a beam of light on a phenomenon that may be surprising for people with negative stereotypes of Islam in Germany, where religion was associated as terrorism, forced marriages and honor killings.

In Germany, about 4,000 people converted to Islam in just one year from July 2004 to June 2005. The study, financed by the German Interior Minister and conducted by the Institute of Muslims to Islam Archive Germany, revealing the number of Germans who converted to Islam increased four times higher than in previous-years.

Most of them are turning to Islam, perform on their own awareness and desire. Many of them are college graduates and middle-class citizens, like Kai Luhr.

Baptized and raised as a Christian, Kai majored in medicine at the university and opened a general physician practice. He later specialized in the treatment of naturopathik. Pendapataan Kai arguably very good.

Luhr then married Katrin, a professional dancer and they were moved into an apartment together. However, at some point, the couple realized that something was missing. "When there are critically ill people come to my office after a great initially but becomes fragile, it makes you sometimes feel discouraged," said Luhr. He was encouraged to learn more about Christianity, Buddhism and the Dalai Lama. But he still did not find an answer.

Luhr shift process arguably nearly typical. Many people are turning to Islam first Christian communities in particular buddy started having doubts about their faith, says a priest Berlin, Mohammed Herzog, a senior church became a Muslim in 1979.

The number of German-speaking Muslims in the mosque also increased. "Still 10 years ago, the average number are turning to Islam every year about 50 people, - now that number doubled," he said. "Only rarely those who embraced Islam before that was an atheist," he said.

A Christian fundamentalist, Wohlrab-Sahr, giving perspective that Islam makes a person stand out in the crowd in the level is quite striking. Moreover Islam into the spotlight after a lot of media review of the Muslim debates that often occur. "Islam is seen as a genuine alternative," said Wohlrab.

In the book mentioned, they - the educated middle class - who converted to Islam because of the desire itself tends to appreciate "lucid and clear rules of conduct" that is provided in the Qur'an. As Luhr, who is now always carry the mat in the car Alfa Romeo GT her. What is the reason Kai Luhr? One of these values in Western society he saw slumped so badly. "In Islam, the values are still upheld for a reason," he said.

But the funny thing is, while ironically, the Germans are turning tends to run a more disciplined than the rituals that have become Muslims since birth. "Some are born Muslims are more liberal."

A lawyer's office in Hamburg gives an interesting example of it. Nils Bergner, 36-year-old to God five times a day. German men have a Turkish colleague, Ali Ozkan, who is also a Muslim. Both visited the mosque together. But only in the office of the German men, the mat is created actually 5 times a day. "I could not," I Ozkan. "The first prayer at 6:00 - still too early,"

More recently, they were invited to a dinner party. Dessert was tiramisu served mouth. Bergner reluctant because there is alcohol in the recipe. "I said, oh you can not be serious," Ozkan said. "Eat it, I say. It's just to taste". But until the end of the event, Bergner left the table with tiramisu untouched.

With the Truth of Islam, An Evangelist So converts

"I became a Muslim because there are many good reasons, but most importantly, I want to be close to God and receive forgiveness and eternal salvation," wrote Ismail Abu Adam on his YouTube account. Yet long before declaring it, Ismail who initially devout Christian, wants to do evangelistic mission to the Muslim community during the time he thought it should be saved.

"I was born as a great Christian. But my base is Roman Catholic," said Ismail. "I always believe Jesus is God and I give my life to him," he said.

Ismail believes Jesus is the savior and he also believes the event of death, crucifixion to the resurrection of Jesus. "Also the concept of original sin, one hundred percent of that I believe to be the word of God," said Ismail.

As devout, he went to church every week and active in worship. In fact he often mengkotbahi her friends and invite them to different religious beliefs to believe that he embraced.

In the early 20s, Ismail became interested widen preaching to Muslims. "I grew up, lived in North America. There I very rarely met a Muslim, only Caucasian and Christian, so I want menyakskan Christians can spread to the Muslim community," he said.

Before you actually go to the field and in direct contact with Muslims, Ismail decided to start from the virtual world. He tried to find a gap of how Christians can spread through the media.

When you search the internet that he found and watched the video he find interesting; debate between a Muslim and evangelist. Muslims from South Africa named Ahmad Deedat. Through debate, Ismael realized when he is well aware of the gospel. "He always wins and was able to break and make telling refutation of the evangelists of every aspect," said Ishmael.

"He broke the argument that there is no original sin, that Christians are not the words of God, and show that Christianity is a false doctrine because the interpretation made by the skid, has experienced fabrication, modification plus and also reduced by the author," said Ismail again.

Dedat, according to Ismail, also alluded to the doctrine of the Trinity, resurrection, crucifixion. "It feels really arguments opponents (evangelist-red) are very weak and easily broken. I must admit, I honestly do not like Ahmad Deedat then," said Ismail.

He even frustrated by the speaker of the Christian camp. "He holds a PhD in Christian theology, but he could not break back Ahmad Deedat's argument that just talking to himself and only supported by the Qur'an."

When it Ismael think Deedat would use the Bible to refute the Christian doctrine. He was intrigued to learn more in the spirit of Christian later he will refute arguments Ahmad Deedat.

Ismael admitted to the type of person with a skeptical thinking. "I find it hard to believe and believe in something so I need to study and investigate for yourself to understand and believe in something," he said.

When deciding to learn more about Christianity he chose from the Islamic perspective. "Previously, I never do that, Christian studied from the perspective of other than Christian and Deedat really confront my understanding," said Ismail.

Ismail also examines the Gospel and the Christian doctrine of Islam. He studied immortality, the concept of the trinity, the crucifixion of Jesus, the concept of savior to the resurrection, original sin. "Is it true that the gospel is the word of God," he said.

When studying the Qur'an Ismail realize that Deedat argument was correct. "I suddenly felt like they were on the wrong path. Christianity is not the word of God. This is really a slap hard for me" said Ismail.

"I have embraced Christianity for many years, I was born as a Christian and being a Catholic for 20 years, suddenly all that I believe turned from top to bottom. Of course this is a big shock," he said.

When Ishmael was not the desire to become a Muslim. "What I want to know when it is fundamentally real truth," he said.

Islam began he learned. From there he understands Muslims only believe in one god in the concept called monotheism. Monotheism, that the conclusions which he obtained from the religion of Islam. "They call god with God, they believe Jesus was a prophet, a messiah who preach the truth when raised again, it's also a great confidence that I believe in," said Ismail.

Deeper analysis, Ismael find the concept of forgiveness and salvation of God. He understands forgiveness in Islam is obtained by faith in God, do His teachings and acts of kindness as a form of faith.

Ismail also know that Muslims believe no prophet after Jesus, Muhammad. "They believe it as the word of God and all there in the book of the Koran," he said. "It's something new for me. I never knew Islam, but not in detail."

At that time, Ismail said he began appearing affection towards Islam. "Muslims believe in the existence of Jesus. For me it is a link between Islam and Christianity and it makes me feel comfortable. I like finding a stepping stone," said Ishmael.

Once you know how Muslims believe in god, how the Prophet was sent to bring the message, Ishmael was born to believe it. He then decided to go to the mosque. "When I moved to a small town and in the city there is a mosque. I tap the door and said I wanted to talk with someone about Islam," said Ismail.

After the routine Ismail meyambangi the mosque every week to discuss with a priest there. The priest gave him reading books on Islam and also the biography of the prophet Muhammad. SAW. "He serve and answer all my questions," said Ismail.

Until one day, the priest said to him, "I do not want you to be a Muslim unless you are absolutely sure of this religion." Hearing that Ishmael was again admitted he was surprised. "As long as I became a Christian I have always met sermons and preaching to invite someone to be a Christian. Every Christian has always tried to influence a person becomes a Christian," he said. "Almost no Christian may say, 'I do not want you to be a Christian unless you are sure and come back to me if you've convinced'."

Ismail actually challenged by greeting the priest. Was this a real way? "It just tickles me to know what Islam is indeed true, that should be believed? Really nobody forced me to become a Muslim," he said. "I see in Islam is the truth and it is readily apparent as a way of life that God wants for me," he said.

When Ismail considering the Gospel back, instead he found the fact Jesus is believed to be a god never claimed himself as a god and called on his followers to worship him. Comparing furthermore, in the Qur'an, Ismail found the promise of forgiveness of God will be given to those who believe, but in the Bible, the word 'promise' is not there.

"Forgiveness and salvation given by God because He loves you, because you repent, believe in him and do what he wanted. It was really clear and simple," said Ismail. While in Christian, according to Ismail, rescue difficult enough for its adherents.

"First you have to believe first and crucifixion cruel murder of an innocent person, in which blood was shed to save your sins. You were created with the original sin. God put yourself in the world with sin in your heart or soul. All that it does not reflect the God's justice, "he said.

Ismail assess forgiveness and salvation in Islam is more than reasonable. "Forgiveness is God's, God's gift of love, because we ask Him, because we believe in Him," he said. "Indeed, in the Gospel also no words that contain the truth. But Islam is superior and logically correct. For me it was amazing," he added.

All this time Ismail always imagined Islam as a religion of violence, such as advocating murder. "But when I read the Qur'an I find a lot of peace, the sentence containing the peace, silence and enlightenment. That's why I decided to become a Muslim.

Ismael now believes God is god and devoted his life to Him. "He is my savior king once in this world and hereafter. By this I also believe Jesus confirmed the teachings of Jesus as a Muslim," he said.

Currently Ismael take discipline of Islamic studies at the college. In the last ten years he has traveled to six Muslim-majority country and read dozens of books on Islam and Comparative Religion. He even had enough to talk fluent in Arabic. In his YouTube account Ismail wrote, "I love God because He first loved me.

DEFINITION OF SINCERELY

SINCERELY is one of the things that can cause an accepted practice our worship of Allah Ta'ala. What is meant by the sense of sincerity is to purify worship or good deeds only to God with the hope of reward from Him alone. So the charity we only expect a reply from God, not from man or other creatures. Thus is the sense Ikhlas in Islam.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim explained the meaning of sincerity is the Oneness of God in purpose or desire when doing obedience, he also explained that the meaning of sincerity is to purify the practice of all the mess. This is the form of the practice of the word of God in the Al-Fatihah verse 5 which means: "Only to You we worship and Thee only we ask for help."

Beware if the charity in our hearts want something from worldly goals. Because it can be a sign of destruction because God will not accept the charity and just make it like the flying dust as Allah mentioned in Surat al-Furqan: 23, which means: "And we showed all the charities that they do then we make the charity such as dust floating "

SINCERELY is not easy. But we must learn and practice sincerity itself. Similarly, as stated in the hadith Qudsi narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Sesunggunhnya God has said: I really do not need to ally, anyone who has done a deed that he menyekutukanKu in it then will I leave he and his allies "(HR. Muslim).

There are a few things that undermine the sincerity of someone that is:
Riya '. Understanding riya is someone reveals his charity with the aim of others to see and praise him. And it is this which includes canceling sincere in Islam. So we must be careful of sincere and ask ourselves Already Ikhlaskah We?. And is included in the categorized shirk shirk and small. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Verily, I fear most things on you is minor shirk, then they asked him:" Is the little shirk, O Messenger of Allah?'. Beliaupun said: 'minor Shirk it is riya'. On the Day of Judgment when the man returned with his deeds Allah will say to those who do riya ',' Go you to anything that makes you do riya ', then see if you mandapat reply from them' "(HR. Ahmad).
Intentions. What is meant by the notion intentions are is someone pride with his deeds. The scholars explained that the intentions are being deleted because someone reward, because the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said that intentions as things are destroyed. He said which means: "Things are destroyed, there are three, namely: berbangganya someone with him, a miser who obeyed and followed lusts" (HR. Al-Bazzar).
Sum'ah. Understanding Sumah is is a person of charity with the aim that others hear it and praised his charity. So the danger is equal to the danger sum'ah riya 'and perpetrators threatened will not get a reply from God, even God will open all its ugliness before men. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has said which means: "Those who play deeds then God will make evil intentions and anyone who labor for riya' God will open his intention before men" (HR. Bukhari and Muslim).

Welcoming Prayer Morning

"Alloohumma innii as-Aluka 'ilman naafi'an rizqon thoyyiban wa wa' practice mutaqobbala".

(O Allah, I ask Thee useful knowledge, good fortune and good deeds accepted "). (HR. Ibn Majah).

From Ibn 'Umar, "the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wasallam never died-the following prayers in the morning and in the afternoon, 'O Allah, I beg thee salvation in the world and in the hereafter. Ya Allah, I beg you for forgiveness and salvation in my world religion, family, and my possessions.

O Allah, cover it kejelekanku and tentramkanlah my heart. O Allah, protect from the front and from behind, right hand and my left from the top of my head, and the majesty of you I take refuge from the efforts of treason me from under me. '"(HR. Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).

With prayer, a Muslim also means starting the day with a prayer because prayer is also a worship. May Allah always lowers blessing to us in every morning hingg next morning. Amen ....! And Allah knows best.
