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.
