WHEN THE FAITH HAS BEEN IN THE HEART

"And know that the messenger of Allah is among you. If he were to obey you in much of the government, ye would surely be in trouble; but Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in your hearts, and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto you. Such are they who are the rightly guided" QS 49:7

The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. QS 49:14


salaamI barely respond to the email from adzlan . apparently this is where perhaps she had my email address .MESSAGE114 brother , the paradigm is a difficult step , especially when it is too long trapped in any one school of thought ( madhhab ) . I was first through a similar experience . however , the difference is , I'm not easily influenced by the stream of thought , either by figures or schools . when looking back , it can in general I conclude that the words " Islam , Muslims , Peace , Faith , mosques, prayer , pilgrimage, fast ', etc. , which raises his consciousness to me to find out what exactly is required by Allah / God . and with no knowledge of how the ' Islam subscribes ' to be formal affiliations , I always ask myself , which include:1 . what is actually required by God from man ?2 . Again , if God is Gracious, Merciful , why men fight , fought and killed each other because of God ?3 . if 'Islam' means ' peace / tranquility / peace ' , why people who claim that he is ' Muslim ' is not always peaceful / quiet / peace with himself , and with his surroundings?etc. .thus I finally do not care about , because I just want to care about God - want to know what is actually required by God from me . I thought , Good Lord must be careful. ' Arrahmani arraheem right? I thought , God must be the teaching of man, for He who created mankind, science and so on . and so on. and so on.then I read the Qur'an. since high school I like to read a translation of the Qur'an , but always reminded that ' when reading a translation to understand the Qur'an, later demonic teaching . Subhan - Allah ! how come? Qur'an state that he ' word of God ' , how can deflect the demonic hand , if we honestly and sincerely want to learn with God , wanting to know the purpose of God ? what God 's love to fool people?so , I do not care. when boom it started around the 1990s , I took the opportunity to d' load myriad of interpretation of the Qur'an , or even good English speaking malay / indonesia . dozens that are in my collection , but my heart feels far not satisfied - as if all translation / interpretation of the sort of trying to justify / validate the understanding of the practice / practice Islam embraced by virtually all Muslims, while the all contrary / contravention of the general concept / basic / fundamental is also mentioned in the Qur'an , the Qur'an is explained with easy , or easier to understand . but until now , the ( good or scholar who is fluent in Arabic, though ) still argue about prayer, fast , Hajj , etc. . , while at the time of the prophet , who is not a slave to school can understand it ! if ' prayer ' that 'prayer' as now understood , is not difficult people in the north , south or in the air. so is the pilgrimage to Makkah . What people are indeed always hungry, hungry must also in the 'moon' Ramadan ? what God is like inconvenient people ? Definitely not, not .so , I gather that depart from the spirit to know what is actually required by the Lord of mankind , which can be read in the Qur'an. among others , I understand that:a. God is Very Good - faith, Compassionate , Loving , loves peace / tranquility / well-being , Very Fair, Very Considerate - taste, Very Rich / Luxury , etc. .b . God taught directly to the people who worked hard and honestly. at any rate , ask Who knows , that God, not the intelligentsia.c . Qur'an is merely a guide, or materials that must be a source of reflection or reference guide . but do not be made ​​the Qur'an is the only source , as it is the ' word of God ' given to the prophet Muhammad to him personally and all of us in general . In the Qur'an we are taught that God Teaches man what he did not know the human level -by -level basis ( so to increase our understanding of God's grace whatsoever , and varying levels of understanding of each person ) . and God taught mankind from past to the present and in the future (not to 'retire ' ) . In the Qur'an we also learn methods (note the word ) how to obtain further guidance from God for our lives right now - learn the method remains the same , but the guidance received ' can ' ( staring at these words ) or similar but different, because our understanding of the ' text ' / sign / signal from God varies with the level allowed by God . other fields, other grasshoppers.d . In the Qur'an we are taught that in any situation , in any case we are, and at any point in time , we must remember , correct and respect the position / rank / status of God as Creator / The Making all that is, good the outer or the inner , material or non- material , the real or the ghayb . nothing can be comparable to Him , both His Messenger , nor the Qur'an. God is God . regular messenger messenger . Fixed prophet prophet . Fixed Qur'an Qur'an. respectively fixed in position / rank / status of each. so , above all we can not neglect / forget about the Lord . If God is obliged recognized , understood and respected.however, this is a personal meaning . we can not say just our understanding just right. right or wrong is God's business . He is the only Judge Wise. so , we can not impose our meaning to another person . make no mistake - blame . each person must respect the other person understanding ( though opposite from which we understand ) , because understanding each person is on leave of God whatsoever. when we honor the understanding of other people, we actually respect the consent of ( God ) , that's one of the many ways to honor God .thing is to improve oneself - to edify / Manners polite with God, which comply with the rules and avoid the prohibition of God. against other people, we look the last line of al - ' Alaq : ' Kalla la tutiAAhu waosjud waiqtarib ' in the sense that I mean ; " On the contrary, you do not obey him , but you respect and you dekatilah . ' Yes. even though other people blame , we are asked to ' respect and approach them . we remain seated ourselves in peace / prosperity / peace , though they accuse / judge / insult / humiliate / insult us with their own devices. do not be a fear / worry / anxiety , because God is always with the steady confidence in God , and always placing them himself in peace / prosperity / peace. Allah willing , the environment ( other people too) will become calm / peace / harmony. the work / duties / responsibilities of our foundation as a servant of God / God . peace / prosperity / peace is a ' key' that there is no gauge - lot, which can change or unlock whatever is necessary.all of these are among the amplitudes of the fundamental paradigm shift / foundation . 's just my understanding ,may God guide us on the path of glory / right / straight / right . Allah willing.mohammed noh
