Broadcasting from 36 Silaturahim Mosque
Street, Kalimagis, Cibubur, Bekasi,
this is Radio Silaturahim and Rasil
Visual, for the one Islam. Brothers and
sisters, listeners and viewers wherever
you may be, who are tuning in to our
broadcast. I hope this afternoon finds
you in good health and spirits. I am
very pleased to be joined by Yusuf
Subangkit at the operator's desk as I,
Angga Aminuddin, greet you and
accompany your activities this
afternoon. We are here for the
afternoon lecture program. As usual,
for our Thursday edition, we will
listen to a lecture and advice
delivered by Ustaz Zain Alhadi. Praise
be to Allah, our teacher has arrived in
the studio. Peace, mercy, and blessings
of Allah be upon you, Ustaz.
And peace, mercy, and blessings of
Allah be upon you too.
Well, for this afternoon's lecture, we
will discuss the topic of the greatness
of...Our Master, the Messenger of Allah
, Muhammad. That's right.
Is that correct, Ustaz?
Yes.
Why is he called 'Baginda'(Master),
Ustaz?
Because he is the noblest of all
creation.
I see.
He is referred to in Arabic as '
Sayyidul Wujud'.
Sayyidul Wujud.
Wujud. Meaning the most supreme of all
that exists.
Yes. Indeed.
He is Prophet Muhammad. There is a
verse that mentions...
The Prophet was already known by all
the previous prophets.
Because of the Covenant. Allah made a
covenant with the previous prophets.
That a Messenger would come, meaning
Prophet Muhammad. You must help him.
You promised, you gave your word. The
prophets and messengers of old made a
promise.
Oh, so Allah had already given the news
.
That a human would come...
Even Adam knew that his descendant
would come one day. Very well,
Messenger.
What kind of greatness is possessed by
our Master, the Messenger of Allah,
Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace? Please, go ahead,
Ustaz.
Very well. In the name of Allah, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds,
and may peace and blessings be upon our
master Muhammad, the noblest of the
messengers, and upon his pure family
and all his righteous companions. Peace
, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon
you, viewers and listeners whom Allah
loves. Praise be to Allah, we meet
again today. A day that seems beautiful
today. It's cool, it rained, right?
Cool. The air is clean.
Refreshing.
Refreshing. The air is clean.
Hm.
The rain washed away all the dirt in
the atmosphere.
Right.
So we can breathe clean air. It's very
beautiful. The trees are all happy too.
The trees.
Yes.
All green and clean.
The dust on the leaves has washed away.
The leaves look so lovely.
Yes.
Very beautiful. Praise be to Allah. So
we enjoy the rain, and when it's dry,
we enjoy the dry season too. So we are
always happy. Don't be angry when it
rains, and angry when it's dry. Always
struggling; just enjoy what is there.
Yes.
Indeed. In the name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful. The
Prophet is the most noble of all
existing beings. So now we discuss the
greatness of the Prophet, peace be upon
him. In what way? In every way.
Everything about him is extraordinary.
Let us look at the praise for Prophet
Muhammad from the All-Praiseworthy. The
All-Praiseworthy is Allah. This
All-Praiseworthy One praises Prophet
Muhammad.
So, the praise is limitless. In the
name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful. That is Surah Al-Qalam,
verse 4. Every month of Mawlid, this is
recited. "Wa innaka la'ala khuluqin '
adhim." Allah. Allah. Allah is the one
who determines this. "You, O Muhammad,
are a person of high ethics, possessing
excellent character and conduct,' adhim
, magnificent." So no other human can
be compared to Prophet Muhammad. That
is where we, as his followers, must
truly know the Prophet, *ma'rifatullah*
, to know Allah. Yes, I repeat, many
people only recognize the writing of "
Allah" or the Arabic letters
alif-lam-lam-ha. The Latin "A-L-L-A-H."
So when they say Allah, they just think
of that writing. Because they only know
the writing, they do not know Allah.
One must learn*ma'rifatullah*, the
greatness of Allah, the majesty of
Allah. How high His compassion is, all
of that must be learned. Dedicate your
thoughts to reflecting on knowing Allah
. Feel the mercy of Allah. Allah is the
Most Merciful. Feel the mercy of Allah.
It is just like that. So everyone must
truly know the religion of Islam. Know
the Qur'an, know Allah, know Prophet
Muhammad, *ma'rifa*, *ma'rifa*, *
ma'rifa*of all of that. Now, this verse
, "wa innaka la'ala khuluqin 'adhim."
This is praise from Allah. Allah is the
All-Praiseworthy, who has no flaws
whatsoever. Allah is the
All-Praiseworthy. He praises Prophet
Muhammad, and His praise is very high
and certainly true. And Prophet
Muhammad can have ethics and high
character like this. Why is that? What
is the great thing here? Firstly, the
conduct. Conduct, actions, or
personality are the result of one's
deeds. Deeds are the result of
intentions. Intention emerges outward
as a form of action. The seat of
intention is in the heart. A clean
heart, a pure heart, is what produces
pure intentions, leading to pure
actions and good character. It is
impossible for a human to have
character if their heart is stained,
their thoughts are wicked, their heart
is dirty. It is impossible to have
character. The opposite is certain;
even if they have some rank, if their
heart is not clean, their language will
be harsh, perhaps severe. It could even
be worse than that. So everything
depends on the contents of the heart.
That is why if we look at the Qur'an,
Islamic teachings focus mostly on
matters of the heart. Look at the
Qur'an. Previously, we saw how many
types of hearts there are. A heart that
is like this, a heart that is like that
. All of that comes from the Qur'an.
All stories are about the spirit, the
heart, about thinking, and about
feeling. If we have a sense of God, we
feel. Feeling that we believe in God,
having one supreme God. Living it, not
just chanting or shouting about
Pancasila. Yelling Pancasila constantly
, but not praying or worshipping God.
That is impossible. Worship God
according to your respective religions.
So, that heart hasn't become a humane
heart that possesses humanity. A human
heart that possesses humanity is a pure
heart. A heart that knows and loves
Allah, recognizes its Lord, senses His
gaze, and feels watched by Allah. Last
week we discussed, what does Allah look
at? Our hair, our ears, our appearance?
No. Allah always looks at His
servant’s heart. Innallaha la yanzuru
ila ajsamikum. Allah does not look at
your body, your clothes, or anything
else; He looks at your heart. So Allah
is the All-Seeing, but what He sees is
the heart. Thus it is said, since the
heart is the place of Allah's gaze,
cleanse the heart so Allah may look
upon it. When the heart is dirty, Allah
does not gaze upon a dirty heart. He
does not want to. Allah says in a
Hadith Qudsi, "O My servant, I have
prepared a beautiful, clean place for
you in My palace in the hereafter,
which is Paradise. Prepare a place for
Me in your heart. Cleanse a place for
Me in your heart." Cleanse it here. He
doesn't mean literally putting Allah
inside the heart. It means the gaze of
Allah. Allah gazes upon the heart. The
human heart is right there. So with the
noble character of Prophet Muhammad, it
is certain to be with a clean heart,
purified as well. Meaning, "wa innaka
la'ala khuluqin azim" from Surah
Al-Qalam, verse 4. Indeed, you, O
Messenger, possess a most noble
character. Now, "noble" is our way of
putting it. Don't compare the Prophet's
character; the Prophet's conduct is
like a human's, don't compare it to
so-and-so, it's not comparable at all.
It is not comparable at all, it's far
off. But he possessed glory, grandeur,
and extraordinary ethical conduct. His
character at home, his character when
trading, trading with 100%honesty.
Leading even when he was young,
regarding the Black Stone at the Kaaba,
he led very fairly, placed it on a
turban, and had it carried together. So
all the tribal chiefs took part in
carrying it. Previously there was a
dispute before Prophet Muhammad, but
after Prophet Muhammad decided it
because he entered through that door,
he was wise but fair. He was fair but
wise. Fairness without wisdom is blind.
And wisdom without fairness is nonsense
. So every act of justice must be wise
and every act of wisdom must be just.
This very noble character comes from a
very pure heart. It comes from the
heart, that conduct flows from a very
pure heart. His beautiful behavior,
Prophet Muhammad, yes. His polite words
, his gentle firmness. There are people
who are gentle but not firm, some who
are firm but not gentle, even harsh. So
, being firm must be gentle. Being
gentle, yet firm. Yes, it is like that.
His friendliness was extraordinary, his
heart was sincere. So, in whatever
action, Prophet Muhammad always...In
trading, perhaps? Whether he was
trading, working, or leading the people
, he always had high ethics. He would
sit with his companions in the mosque
or some other place, and people
couldn't distinguish which one was the
Prophet and which were the companions.
His clothes were the same; he didn't
wear grand attire or the finest
garments, no. Simple, with noble
character. Sitting together. He ate
together there, which is what we admire
; even his clothes were the same. If he
was provided water, and his companions
there weren't given any, he wouldn't
drink. It had to be shared; that alone
was extraordinary. He was a leader.
Usually in this world, leaders are
treated differently—different paths,
special places, right? Yes, that's fine
, it's allowed. But Prophet Muhammad
was truly a person of very noble
conduct and character. He didn't want
that; he didn't want to be treated
specially.
He didn't want special treatment. When
sitting, one would have to look for
Prophet Muhammad among his companions,
as they wore the same clothes. Now,
that is extraordinary behavior, even
with his young grandchildren, he had
gentle manners.
Yeah.
Yes. Truly extraordinary. That is why
he is made an idol. Sent to perfect
character and as a beautiful role model
. Muhammad was sent by Allah to be an
example. So our idol should be Prophet
Muhammad. Every Muslim man and woman,
if asked who is your idol? Well,
Prophet Muhammad is the right answer.
Since the Prophet was indeed sent to
bring the religion and the messenger
was also made an example. H
For example, now the Quran has
descended; who is the example? We see
the Quran is like written texts, like
knowledge. Which human has practiced
the Quran 100%?
H
Prophet Muhammad. That is the example.
Now let me give another example.
Pancasila has five principles, right?
Let's find an example in the Indonesian
nation. Who has practiced Pancasila so
we can make them a role model? Not yet.
Not yet. Who has practiced the five
principles of Pancasila 100%to be an
example? H
Please find one, is there any?
In Indonesia, right?
Yes. We have Pancasila here; later we
can take Pancasila abroad, that's
allowed.
Heh.
To Europe or somewhere, so there's
humanity, perhaps it already exists?
There is no answer yet, Ustaz.
Ah, no answer yet. That is very good.
Yes. So, I'm just giving examples.
Regarding the Quran, who has practiced
it? Already. Prophet Muhammad is the
example, the role model. So he is
called the walking Quran. Prophet
Muhammad is entirely the embodiment of
the Quran. His character is all in
accordance with the Quran. Now, that's
just an example. It means these
teachings can indeed be practiced 100%.
Islam can be practiced. The example is
Prophet Muhammad. The prophets before
Prophet Muhammad had limited tasks.
Limited in location, limited in time.
Limited location, limited time.
When they passed away, their teachings
were finished. Finished, there was no
more, only for that time; and this is
true because culture, thought patterns,
and intelligence all evolve. So,
education goes from preschool,
kindergarten, elementary, middle, high
school, to university, right?
In the past, it started with
kindergarten, then elementary, then
middle school. We see that the
teachings of Prophet Moses were
incredibly harsh. The criminal
penalties were extremely severe. An eye
for an eye, strike back. Gouge out the
eye, gouge another, punch and punch
again. The law of retaliation was like
that. Slap, then slap again. It was
exceptionally harsh. But it applied
while Prophet Moses, peace be upon him,
was alive. When Prophet Moses passed
away, that teaching ended and shifted
to Jesus. Now, the Children of Israel
follow Jesus. Prophet Jesus, by
contrast, was incredibly gentle, full
of love and affection; if a thief
entered your house, you’d say, "Oh,
welcome, sir, what can I do for you?"
Just take it, go ahead and take it.
That was the teaching. He was so
compassionate; if he had one cup and
someone was drinking with their hands,
he’d give the cup away to be made
into a comb. Yes, combs back then were
just wood with little holes in them. A
comb for combing. To comb long hair as
well. Someone was combing with their
hands. He felt for them. He already
made it, so he gave it away. Wealth
back then was like that.
There were no cars or anything yet. Now
, the teachings of Prophet Jesus were
the opposite. If you are slapped on the
right cheek, offer the left one.
Give it.
Give again. So, it wasn't about whether
it was good or bad, but about
straightening out the severity of the
religion in the Torah. So, if a tree is
leaning to the right, to straighten it,
we don't just pull it to the center; we
have to pull it far to the left first
so it eventually settles straight. Yes,
that’s it.
Right.
Yes, it was made that way. Now, the
balance lies between the two. Between
those extremes, one was very harsh and
the other very kind. In the middle,
Islam is fair but wise. Wise but fair.
In between both of them. So, while
Prophet Moses’ teaching was to gouge
an eye and punch back, then Prophet
Jesus came and said don't retaliate,
ask for more.
No one could manage that back then,
honestly. Exactly. Then, Islam arrived;
if you are disturbed in any way, you
can pursue it through the courts. If
you want to forgive, that is even
better. It’s in between the two. So,
the teachings of the prophets are used,
but adapted. So, all the previous
religions are combined into a universal
whole. That university is in Islam. So,
as Muslims today, we have followed the
religions of all the previous prophets.
Right.
It has been summarized there. So,
it’s all put together into one
university; why? Well, because we are
indeed at the end of time. If a
Messenger existed today, it wouldn't be
possible because Prophet Muhammad is
the Seal of the Prophets, that’s it,
no more prophets. Imagine, sir, if
there were a prophet in Bandung, for
example.
Yes.
Would there be reporters everywhere?
Packed.
Chased everywhere he goes; he wouldn't
be able to preach anymore. He probably
wouldn't even be able to eat. Right.
And people would no longer need to have
faith. If people met the prophet,
recorded him, and everything else.
Miracles were recorded. Then it
wouldn't be a test anymore. That is why
, as culture evolved, we reached a
stage where there are no more prophets.
It doesn't have to be, which is why
Prophet Muhammad is the seal of the
prophets. So, the seal. What is this
seal? It is the seal of the prophets,
not the seal of the religion.
Yes.
Now, this Prophet Muhammad is different
. He passed away, but his Quran did not
; his teachings continue. Because he is
a mercy to all the worlds. The Prophet
brought a religion, brought mercy for
all worlds, all times, all locations,
all places. What? Now, I don't quite
understand if it's just the world or
also outside the world. I believe it's
outside the world. Mercy to the
worlds.
Alamin. This is just a possibility. I
also don't dare to be certain. It's a
possibility. Perhaps the Prophet is
currently a prophet again, preaching on
one of those planets.
Yes.
For the beings there. He takes the form
of the beings there too. Min anfusikum.
A messenger comes who is like you.
Right. This is a messenger for the
entire universe. It's finished for the
world, likely in other worlds. But I am
certain. But I cannot force people to
believe it; that's up to them. It is
only an opinion. Because the term'
alamin 'is the same as' Rabbul Alamin '
. God sustains all the worlds. God also
sustains the planets. That is' alamin '
. All those star clusters are' alamin '
. Universe. The only thing that is not
part of the universe is Allah.
Everything besides Allah is the
universe.
Yeah.
We are the universe. Inanimate objects
are the universe, plants, animals, and
humans are the universe. Everything
that is not Allah, that is not the
universe, is only Allah. That's why the
one who sustains this universe is
Rabbul Alamin. He is the one who
created it, sustains it, regulates it,
and determines it. Because' alamin ',
this universe, he is the one who
created it. There are four types of
beings in the universe. Inanimate
objects are the lowest, they have no
desires at all. Throw a rock up, it
falls down. It can't go up, left, or
right. It has no choice at all. Plants
are decent; they can absorb nutrients
through their roots. But they cannot
move places; there are no walking trees
, except once in the Prophet's time. "
Tamsih alas sagid sajarah tafsir ala
sagid bila kadami"—in the Qasidah
Burda, the tree came to the Prophet
walking without feet, just like that.
Date palm tree.
Yes, that's it; animals are higher than
plants, they can choose places and move
, but they don't choose food, their
food seems to be predetermined, they
don't like other things.
Yes.
The most free are humans; we can move
places, we can choose, we can choose to
pray or not, to be Muslim or not,
everyone is free to choose. We are
given intellect, and precisely because
we are given intellect, there is a law
for us. If there is no intellect, there
is no law. People who are mentally ill
have their intellect lifted, there is
no law. They cannot be subject to legal
sanctions. Animals too. You see, humans
are granted a noble intellect, but with
it comes the burden of responsibility
for the choices they make. We are given
the freedom to choose and the
responsibility that comes with it.
Animals have no choices, so there is no
law for them.
There is no law for trees,
for mountains, or for objects; there is
no law for them. They have no right to
choose. Humans are the ones with the
right to choose. You can choose to pray
or not to pray. You can choose to
believe in God or not, that is up to
you. You bear your own responsibility.
That is why in court, a person is only
tried if they are deemed mentally sound
; only then is there a law. Humans are
held accountable because they have the
right to choose, which is why we must
be careful in choosing. Well, it's just
like that. Choosing anything, including
in elections. I won't interfere in
elections. But you must be careful when
choosing because there are consequences
. If you choose wrongly, pick someone
bad, you will have to deal with the
outcome. Every single word is recorded.
Whatever we say will be brought to
trial, but it won't be a trial like we
imagine. Don't imagine us being tried
one by one. With so many humans, how
would that be judged? It's automatic.
Yeah.
It’s automatic; if someone oppresses
another, their prayer merits are
immediately deducted. Instantly
deducted and given to the person they
oppressed. Everything is already
running automatically. Even now, it’s
already happening, all those laws are
in motion. So once again, the earlier
apostles had limited scope, restricted
to their own tribes. Even their time
was limited, only for as long as they
lived. Some lived for 30 years, others
for a certain amount of time. There
were once prophets for every village.
As for regular prophets, there were
countless, an immeasurable number.
Maybe there was a prophet in every
village long ago; perhaps figures like
Confucius, though we don't understand
how their religion was back then. I'm
not saying they were definitely
prophets, it's just a possibility. But
most of the earlier teachings were
altered because humans have the right
to choose; many changed parts of the
teachings they received.
Yeah.
Everything changes and evolves, right?
Culture evolves, and religions get
carried along and evolve as well. Even
now, some groups change their
understanding and their interpretations
. Now, that is difficult. Forgive me.
Sometimes I want to share, but I don't
want anyone to be offended, like with
the phrase of Tawhid. We shouldn't
focus too much on scripts, papers, or
slogans, right?
Yeah.
It's not about that. Tawhid exists
within our thoughts and our feelings.
What is on the flag is just writing. So
don't go fighting over things like that
. Don't. It's just writing, after all.
It is the writing of Tawhid, yes. But
writing remains writing. It's just ink
and fabric. But yes, show it respect,
don't—
Ah, it can be respected, but that
doesn't mean that is where our faith
lies. Faith is in our minds and our
feelings. So we don't want to be bound
by such things. It's not about shouting
. Teachings must be internalized in the
mind, in the feelings, and appear in
deeds. The fruits of faith, the fruits
of tawhid, are character. The fruit of
tawhid is character. Because they feel
constantly watched by God, and their
hearts are observed. They walk and move
with caution. Even when we are cautious
, we still make mistakes. Let alone
when we are not careful, let alone if
we are careless. So, many humans tend
to change things. Now, it means that a
Muslim maintains the Islamic creed, the
Islamic teachings as purely as possible
, yes they can. Not like attacking
culture. No. As pure as it is in our
thoughts, in our feelings, in our
hearts. That is pure. If religion is
only on the tongue, that doesn't reach
the heart. One cannot have good
character, cannot practice religion,
but only shouts. Shouting. I am
reminded of President Abdul Nasser back
then. He gave speeches every day, often
spoke to his people. When at war with
Israel, he was just shouting. You know?
"These tanks we have are from our own
factories.""We will throw Israel into
the sea." Meanwhile, Israeli planes
were flying over his head.
How are you going to throw Israel into
the sea? So the war was fought with the
mouth. Yeah, if you fight with your
mouth, it's just ridiculous. It's not
like that. So, the worship of war is
not done with the mouth. Character.
Politics should also be conducted with
character. Politics must be Islamicized
. Not Islam politicized. Do you
understand?
Yes, I understand.
Politics.
must be Islamicized.
Islamicized. So, in politics, be honest
. Don't justify all means.
It's not that you can't be in politics.
You can. I also engage in politics. I
think, I am human. But we don't want to
politicize Islam, right?
Yes.
It is dangerous if you politicize Islam
. When it's campaign time, they buy
turbans, buy koko shirts, twist Quranic
verses. Now, this is not good.
Yeah.
Politics must be Islamicized. Using
Islamic political methods is fine. Go
ahead. That is to achieve a goal. But
there are rules. There are guidelines
on what is allowed and what is not. I
am addressing this to all parties, not
just one party. It doesn't matter to me
; it's for everyone so it's safe. But
everyone here is religious. We are a
nation that believes in the One Supreme
God. Use the teachings of that One
Supreme God. Not being rude, not
trapping others, not lying—even that
is already not good. We all have the
same good intention to build this
country, to build this nation. Well, do
it in a good way. God willing. Want to
win? No one wins. Believe me, in this
world, no one wins. Who wins? Everyone
dies. So how is that winning? The
winner is the one who doesn't die. If
you die, that's not called winning. The
winner is the one who does not die.
Now, if you don't die, where do the
ones who don't die live? Those who
enter heaven,
they are the winners.
That is the winner. No one wins in this
world. Wake up. Do not justify any
means for the world. Who wins? No one.
Everyone has passed away. Everyone has
died. All the Churchills have passed
away. The Jabals have all left the
world. So, we must be aware; if you
want to do good, do it for the country
and the nation, feel free to compete.
Competing is allowed, but use good
methods; if you are religious, then use
your religion.
Yes.
Well, all religions teach honesty,
right? That is how it should be used so
there are no great sacrifices or costs.
Now, let's look at this verse about
Prophet Muhammad. Surah Al Imran verse
81 is extraordinary. It turns out
Prophet Muhammad was known long ago.
This is the verse. In the name of Allah
, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Waid akhallahu missaq nabiyin. When
Allah
accepted the covenant from the prophets
. What is this covenant? All the
prophets who came before Prophet
Muhammad was born into the world.
Prophet Muhammad existed before he was
born. We too existed before we were
born. Allah had already informed that
there would be a Prophet Muhammad, a
messenger named Muhammad. All previous
messengers knew. Even Prophet Adam knew
. Now, they were asked to make a
promise by Allah. Promise about what?
Yes, whatever promise I give you in the
form of the Book and wisdom. Then a
messenger comes to you. This messenger,
Prophet Muhammad, will come to confirm
and correct previous books. What
existed before was already there. So in
the Quran, it is called musaddiqan.
Musaddiqan. There are many verses in
the Quran like that. Musaddiqan lima
ma'akum. Prophet Muhammad came as
musaddiqan for your religion. Your
previous religion. It is translated as
confirming the books that came before.
The word "confirming" has two meanings.
Yes.
Does it mean to agree or to correct?
H
Right? In Arabic grammar, this is
called muta'addi. Sadaqa yusaddiqu. If
it is sadaqa, a subject is enough. But
if it is saddaqa yusaddiqu, there must
be an object.
It must have an object.
There is an object. So, this is
musaddiqan. What happens to that object
?
Hmm. It is confirmed, the one with an
object.
Corrected. Yes. What is being corrected
? It is corrected.
Yes. Yes.
I think it is both.
That the books before Prophet Muhammad
were true from Allah, but they need
correction.
Yes, yes, yes.
This language is beautiful. You cannot
just say "confirming," as people might
interpret it as just agreeing.
True.
Yes. So, the listeners should
understand that in Surah Al-Baqarah and
many other surahs, the religion of
Prophet Muhammad, the Quran, confirms
the previous books. Yes.
Now, this confirmation means, "Yes,
this is true," or it is confirmed.
Actually, if you use the word "saddaqa,
" you need an object to confirm. So
that means, uh there is a correction.
Yes.
It’s clear, right. The Jews like to
demand this, you justify that. So
correcting the Torah that had been
altered
or other scriptures.
The Jews wouldn't accept it, right.
That's it, they keep justifying this,
even though "this" is a verb that needs
an object.
Yes. Yes.
If "justifying"[membenarkan], yes, it
doesn't need an object.
Just yes. Then, are you willing to
acknowledge, this is what it says, what
you have, so you will truly believe in
him, that is, in the Prophet Muhammad
and support him. Do you acknowledge and
accept such a covenant? They answered,
"We acknowledge," God said, "If so,
then bear witness, O prophets, and I
will be a witness with you as well.""
Aqrartum"–do you accept, is it
serious? "Aqrarna"–yes, we agree, "
fashadu""wa ma'akum"–I will also bear
witness with you, "minash-shahidin."
This event happened
before Prophet Muhammad.
Then it was revealed in the time of
Prophet Muhammad.
So there was already an event, there
was already a covenant.
Yes, there was already a covenant.
Regarding the apostles. So this is
Prophet Muhammad, the great Prophet,
the great apostle, applicable for all
time without end. Applicable to all
locations, every place
without exception.
Even the whole universe, you know,
the whole universe. Every place without
exception. Everything for whoever,
whatever nation, those before the
Prophet were limited.
Correct.
Limited by space and time. So Muslims,
if you already have such an apostle, be
careful, love him. Don't let there be
any more phrases that are inappropriate
for the Prophet. Was the Prophet
unsuccessful?
The Prophet...did his preaching fail,
or did the Prophet only take care of
his family? Don't let that happen again
. This Prophet is extraordinary, loved
by Allah. The most loved by Allah,
Habibullah. The meaning of Habibullah
is the beloved of Allah. Prophet
Muhammad is Habibullah. The beloved of
Allah, the dear one of Allah. Even if
someone is a little less than polite. A
verse comes down, someone yelled next
to the Prophet's room in Medina. Yelled
, a little loud. Whoa, a verse descends
: you call the Prophet as you call each
other. Allah is angry. That verse is
written on the wall above the Prophet's
grave in Medina: "la tarfa'u aswatakum.
" Do not raise your voices in front of
the Prophet. Then I think, if this
verse is written in front of the
Prophet's grave, on the wall of the
Prophet's grave, it means those who
wrote it are aware. The Prophet is
alive.
Yeah.
Yeah, if the Prophet were dead, no need
to yell, it would be fine, right?
Why is this verse written there? It
means their conscience acknowledges the
Prophet is alive. Yes, alive in his
realm.
Yes.
Alive in his realm, in the Barzakh
realm. It is respected, right, it says
don't raise your voice there. Meaning
this is the Prophet's house. Now,
that's still there in Medina, that
verse written above the wall of the
Prophet's grave. It means they also
believe not to disturb the Prophet even
though he has passed away; he is alive.
So, I went there, read it, and thought,
why did this person write this verse?
Well, that means it has been around for
a long time. Wow, many of those old
things are there, people visiting and
performing tawassul to the Prophet as
it is in the Quran. Yes, let it be. So,
what are we discussing? The greatness
of Prophet Muhammad. Extraordinary. Get
to know him, oh Muslims, get to know
your Prophet. Yes, get to know him.
Don't just recognize the name Muhammad
written there. Don't mess around.
Prophet Muhammad, perhaps, I say again,
in that realm he is still a messenger.
Even in the hereafter, he is still a
messenger. The afterlife realm, they
are all realms. The grave realm, the
afterlife realm. There you go. So feel
free to hold the Mawlid, wait, it is
already Mawlid time now. Go ahead. But,
is Mawlid a sunnah, a bid'ah, or what,
just look at it this way. It is a
culture. Don't go looking for textual
evidence. It's useless, culture doesn't
need evidence. Playing soccer, playing
basketball, there's no evidence for
that. It’s culture, isn’t it? Did
the Prophet ever play basketball? Of
course not. Right? So culture depends
on the method. If your method for
Mawlid includes reading the Prophet's
history, reminding people of his sunnah
, and uniting the community, it becomes
a vehicle for dawah and a beautiful
righteous deed. A righteous deed is
goodness that doesn't need a specific
text. That is why it is called a
righteous deed. If the evidence were
written down, it might be as big as the
island of Java. Now, how many trillions
of righteous deeds are there? See,
that's how it is. So just call it a
righteous deed, a good act. What is a
good act? Well, everyone knows that
with common sense. How can you not know
what a good act is? Is saying salam a
good act? Giving salam on a train or
bus, people might say it's bid'ah
because there were no trains in the
Prophet's time. See, just like that.
Just call it a righteous deed. So it is
allowed anywhere. No matter the method,
feel free. That's it. If you are Muslim
, say Assalamualaikum. Don't say good
morning or good afternoon. Pity the
blind, they don't know if it's day or
night. They get confused answering.
They are confused about how to respond.
Just say Assalamualaikum. Furthermore,
this Prophet, Prophet Muhammad, is the
messenger, the Seal of the Prophets.
What is a seal?
The end.
The closer. There are no more prophets.
Why closed? Because this one messenger
is enough to last forever.
The last, the final one. Final, not
ended. He is the seal. Meaning there
are no more prophets. Just him, this
one. And for every place, every era,
until Judgment Day, until the grave,
until the afterlife.
That means our era is the final era.
The final era.
Does it end after this, Ustadz?
Huh?
In the world, it ends. In the world,
yes, the world is coming to an end soon
. Once the world ends, we move on. That
is why you shouldn't be so stubborn.
Why is this life and this world ending
in conflict and war, as if it’s about
to collapse? When will the world end?
Well, who knows? But looking at it now,
it seems very close.
The signs,
the signs have all appeared. But before
that, the war between the followers of
the Dajjal and the followers of Imam
Mahdi is near. That war happening in
the Middle East right now, where the
sparks have been burning for 4 or 5
years, it won't ever be peaceful
because that is the war between the
followers of Imam Mahdi and the Dajjal.
The Imam Mahdi and the Dajjal are still
behind the scenes, but their troops are
already fighting.
Yeah.
Everywhere in the world, some conflicts
are still cold, some have exploded, and
some are just embers. It all leads
there, because why is there war? This
world is just a bridge to the hereafter
. A filtering through war, a filtering
through earthquakes, all of that is a
filter. Because we were indeed placed
in this world and we have all been
sentenced to death. Have you read the
decree? The decree from God, the death
sentence.
Kullu nafsin.
Kullu nafsin zaikatul maut. Every
living soul must die. That is God’s
decision.
The decree is already there.
That's the decree, Ustaz, right?
Just waiting for the execution. The
execution can be collective or
individual; it could be at sea, an
earthquake, or a landslide,
it could be war, illness, or a plague;
anything can happen. In conclusion, we
just die. Now, death is the path to
transition in life. So, it's not
disappearing. The body dies, but we
ourselves do not die.
We still exist.
We still exist. We need to move to life
in the next realm. That realm doesn't
use these bones or this flesh;
everything has a different form.
H.
That's it. But for the righteous ones,
like you, Sir, you'll look handsome
there, pious and devoted, very
beautiful. Those who aren't righteous,
well, it'll be difficult. So, Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala informed the
previous prophets and messengers that
there would be a final prophet and
messenger for all nations. "You must
believe in him and help him.""Do you
promise to obey this?" They answered, "
Yes, we promise." Who wants to see
Surah Ali Imran 81? Ali Imran 81.
Ali Imran 81. Ali Imran 81.
So, Muslims must know how magnificent
their Prophet is. How much Allah loves
him. He is so exalted that even the
other prophets had to make a promise.
Yes.
Subhanallah. So, get to know the
Prophet. Love him. Love the Messenger.
Loving the Messenger means receiving
love back from the Messenger. That is
meaning before Prophet Muhammad, from
Prophet Adam to Prophet Isa, how did
they believe in Prophet Muhammad? How
exactly did they believe in him? Well,
they had already promised Allah, as
mentioned earlier.
Even Salman Al-Farisi went through many
religions, he came from Iran.
Yes.
He read and studied all these religions
. Finally, as a Christian, he read in
the Gospel that a prophet would appear
in Mecca.
Uh-huh.
There were signs of his prophecy,
everything was in the back of the book.
He searched for the Prophet, opened the
back of the book, and then believed.
Yes. Salman was called Al-Farisi, a
Persian, an Iranian. But he was an
expert in building the trench. He was
also a skilled warrior.
Yes.
And he is the only companion of the
Prophet who was adopted into the
Prophet's family. There is a hadith
about this Salman. Salman minna ahlil
bait. Salman is from our family, the
family of the Prophet. Why? Because his
love for the Prophet and his family was
sincere.
He was made an honorary member. In
modern terms, that hadith is authentic.
Let's continue. And this Prophet
Muhammad, besides being the seal of the
prophets, well, as you asked earlier,
it's true. When we look at those angels
—or were they jinns? Yes. Asking God
when God created Adam.
Oh, right.
Yes. Why create them? They will just
kill each other. It is "Inni a'lamu ma
la ta'lamun.""I know what you do not
know about my plan." That was it, right
?
Uh-huh.
So, it is true that many humans are
evil and kill. Maybe there were humans
in the past who killed each other like
we do now, then were destroyed by
doomsday.
We don't know which version of the
earth this is.
We don't even know if we existed before
. Maybe we were destroyed and the world
was created again, right? We wouldn't
know that. But the point now is, what
we are discussing is why God created
humans again if they would just end up
killing each other. That's true, isn't
it?
Yes.
But not everyone kills; some are good.
God means you don't know that I will
send messengers to invite them to
goodness. Prophets Muhammad, Jesus,
Moses, and so on. Prophet Moses was
firm in upholding the law. Prophet
Jesus had extraordinary compassion.
Prophet Muhammad also possessed
compassion. Prophet Muhammad had
qualities like the prophets before him.
Like that. Then what God meant by "I
know what you do not know." Some were
told that God would create the Prophet
Muhammad.
He would preach and spread the religion
, balancing things out so not everyone
would be evil. The Prophet's followers
all became good. The Prophet's family
was good; the companions who were once
ignorant but joined the Prophet became
righteous, all of them. Yes, as
mentioned in Surah At-Tawbah verse 100.
As-sabiquunal-awwalun minal-muhajirina
wal-ansar. The Muhajirun and the Ansar
who were the first, and those who
followed them in good conduct, Allah is
pleased with them and they are pleased
with Him. It's good, right?
Yes. I
The former pagans, the Aws and Khazraj,
were the warring tribes of Medina,
pitted against each other by Israel, by
the Jews there, that's who.
Well, even now, Israel wins over
countries using the hands of Arabs,
using the hands of Muslims. There was
one revolution being contained. I am
very afraid of that revolution. It is
being contained, and the Muslim
community is being blocked, funds are
being sent, and they say, "That's an
infidel, that's an infidel." Blocked,
with no one supporting them to this day
. They stand alone against Israel and
America, and they are contained. Who is
doing the containing? The Jews. Because
they know these are militant people.
Militant in a smart way. Not just
bombing things, no.
So they are afraid. That is why they
are labeled infidels, but by the hands
of Muslims. Well, that is what politics
is: defeating people. The people who
are defeated feel like they have won.
These people being used are told to
kill their fellow Muslims. They feel
like they’ve won. Just like this.
Yeah.
Even though they just killed their
brother, spent their own money, they
feel like they’ve won. Now, that’s
what you call deceptive politics. If
it’s out in the open, that’s
fighting; war is politics. Defeating
people, while making the defeated feel
like they won.
Extorting people, while making the
extorted feel helped.
Giving loans but dictating they must
buy their goods, buy this, buy that.
And so on. So, Prophet Muhammad had
already been ordained, had been known
and announced to the angels, and even
leaked a little bit, that Prophet
Muhammad would come; even the creatures
knew back then. That is why they were
told to bow to Adam. Bowing here is not
divine worship. If it were divine
worship, it would be shirk; this is a
bow of respect. A tribute. So, paying
respects is allowed. Some used to say
it was shirk—it's not. It depends on
the intention of our hearts.
Yeah.
Don't just bow if our hearts consider
this king or official to be a provider
of sustenance or a savior; that is
already shirk. You don't even need to
bow for that. Shirk or faith resides in
our hearts, our thoughts, our feelings,
not in those objects. Even if you bow,
if your mind isn't worshipping or
deifying them, it’s fine. That’s
like the jinn and angels being told to
bow to Adam. It’s not shirk. Iblis
didn't want to; he wouldn't bow. So,
understanding the law requires reason,
not just literalism. Look at the
motivation. All laws assess the
motivation behind everything. Murder is
studied for its motivation. Trials
lasting months are just to study the
motivation. Did they intend to kill or
not? If there was intent to kill, was
it premeditated or not? That is studied
before legal sanctions are applied. So,
it’s all about motivation. Because
the motivation was respect, they were
told to show respect. Not, not to deify
. So don't call people who visit graves
shirk practitioners. If you visit a
grave to worship the person in it, that
is shirk. But no sane person wants to
worship someone who is already dead.
People worshipping the living, many
people go there to worship at the red
conglomerate's place to gain fortune.
Yes, they bow down and do all sorts of
things, it’s excessive, isn't it? But
we aren't convinced by that, Sir.
Ustaz, that was interesting when there
was a conversation between Allah and
the angels that leaked to the devil.
Yes, the jinn.
Right. Trying to find out, trying to
know how much
is that. In the Israelite narrations,
you see, when they found out, the devil
or the jinn were struck by lightning.
Is that true
or not? I don't think so. The jinn
didn't die. If the jinn had died, it
would be nice, we wouldn't be disturbed
anymore. Because the jinn who disobeyed
Adam is the one who became the devil.
Uh-huh. This is the most evil one. This
devil, the devil who was obedient to
Adam, he was...
the devil indeed had the ability to
to disturb and was permitted by Allah
to obtain important information in the
heavens, that's what it means.
Well, that applied until before Prophet
Muhammad. After the time of Prophet
Muhammad, it was stopped, they were
pelted.
After, oh, yes. Uh-huh. After that,
they were hit by meteors.
Like, kinds of meteors.
But there is always a habit of the
devil to disguise themselves, like when
there is a Prophet's assembly,
disguising themselves because they want
to know what revelation is coming down
since they can no longer eavesdrop.
Now this is the most dangerous part.
He can disguise himself in a scholar's
attire. Claiming to be saints, claiming
to be imams, claiming all sorts of
things. He cannot impersonate Prophet
Muhammad. Yeah.
Therefore, do not let people worship at
night seeking charms or seeking power.
Because the one who comes is the devil.
Sometimes the devil comes claiming to
be one of the Nine Saints (Wali Songo).
Hmm.
Claiming to be Prabu Siliwangi, Surya
Kencana, claiming anything. That's all
a lot of lies.
So it doesn't have to be like that. If
you want to have a sixth sense or
something, if there is a spiritual
unveiling (kasyaf), just worship
lillahi taala (for the sake of Allah),
because you will get it directly from
Allah, and it is safe, guarded by
angels who protect you from that horror
. It is not, what, it is not allowed to
be like that. Just have a sincere
intention, whatever you get is more
than enough, just do it for Allah. Do
not have the intention to seek this
power or become a shaman, may Allah
protect us, that is all the devil. The
devil wears a turban, the shaman keeps
interacting, but he doesn't see.
That’s just a feeling, right?
Therefore, don't take the shaman's
opinions at face value. Especially
regarding theft, that is dangerous. Who
stole this, this person? The jinn can
lie. One. Second, it could also be a
wrong accusation. Because it's not a
vocal sound like that.
Uh-huh.
That is all dangerous. So don't believe
it. Maybe the shaman doesn't intend to
lie, but he is being lied to by the
jinn. Believe it.
That is another danger. So we also look
at this verse 52, right? The word of
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala in Surah Saba
verse 28. Wa arsalnaka illa kaffatan
lin-nasi basyiran. I have not sent you,
O Muhammad, except to all of mankind,
wherever they may be, whenever they may
exist.
Yeah.
But most people do not know.
A bearer of news.
A bearer of glad tidings. Yeah.
Now, finally, we often read and really
reflect on Surah Al-Insyirah.
Al-Insyirah, many people name their
children Insyirah now. That's nice too,
isn't it? Insyirah means an expanded
chest, or heart. Is there not?
The name of the surah Al-Insyirah,
Allah expanded the chest of Prophet
Muhammad, it’s extraordinary. It was
expanded. Just imagine, someone whose
chest was expanded by Allah—what kind
of person has their heart expanded by
Him? They already possess high
character, a clean heart, a purified
chest, more than the angels. "And
raised high for you your name."
Yeah.
Here, in the air, all over the world,
the entire universe. The whole universe
, this world, every second says "Ashadu
alla ilaha illallah wa asyhadu anna
Muhammadar Rasulullah," their names
placed parallel to Allah's name,
because they are so honored. And that
is every second. Right now we are
approaching Maghrib, aren't we? Where
is the Maghrib prayer happening right
now? In the east, in East Java, it’s
almost Maghrib, then it moves here and
continues westward; every second there
is the call to prayer, then five
prayers, it doesn't stop, the call to
prayer mentions the name of Prophet
Muhammad in the heavens, in the world,
in the spiritual realm, just imagine. "
Indeed, Allah and His angels send
blessings upon the Prophet."
The call to prayer is also a testimony,
not to mention the salawat being
recited everywhere.
The angels, the malak, all are sending
blessings because God commanded it: "
Indeed, Allah and His angels send
blessings upon the Prophet." And this
verb, "yusallun," is a verb, if in
English, present
continuous.
Ongoing, constantly.
Continuously.
So Allah hasn't stopped.
So it's constant. If you ask, what are
Allah and the angels doing? They are
sending blessings.
They are sending blessings right now.
But,
if it were other prophets, like Prophet
Adam, he received the prostration of
angels when they were commanded to do
so, but as for what the secret is after
that, that is Allah’s business, but
we know not to take Prophet Muhammad
lightly. Don't speak ill of him. Don't
keep bringing that up. It's useless. We
don't even know if the Prophet's
parents were Muslim or not. It’s not
our business, just wait until the
hereafter. Why bother? Don't, when
there is a Mawlid event for Prophet
Muhammad, insist that his father was an
infidel, his mother was an infidel,
while ignoring everything else. Only
Prophet Muhammad is being targeted. How
can a Muslim have such a noble prophet
and always seek out weaknesses like
that?
Don't, have some character. Use your
heart; show character toward Allah,
toward the Messenger, and toward the
Muslim community. Many other Muslims
are offended, but they just don't want
to cause trouble. They grumble behind
the scenes, and it leads to more
division. Look for something else, what
is the connection anyway? There is no
motivation, there is none. What is the
point of bringing that up? Is heaven
that narrow, are you afraid there won't
be enough room for us? Yeah.
It isn't; it's vast. Heaven is as vast
as the heavens and the earth, the
distance of one paradise. One person
might get a plot of land as large as
the island of Java, for example, it is
possible there. The Prophet's name is
already high in the realm of the
heavens; all the angels and creatures
in that realm, and in this world, are
in harmony—all praising, glorifying,
and thanking Allah, seeking His
forgiveness, and sending blessings upon
the Prophet. A rhythm shared by
everyone. We join in that same rhythm
with them all. Never mind the Prophet,
even you, if you are righteous, very
good, love Allah, and are upright and
honest, Allah is proud of you. Allah
proudly says, "O angels, look at My
servant.""Look, look, I truly cherish
them.""I love them." The Angel Gabriel
then calls out to inform everyone. "O
inhabitants of the heavens.""Allah
loves so-and-so." You become famous
there, in the heavenly realm. Yes.
Being unknown in this world is fine; it
doesn't matter if you're not on TV or
in the newspapers. In the heavens, you
are famous. That is true. All those
creatures know it. If someone is loved
by Allah, everyone knows and they all
look after that person. Now, this is
actually truly beautiful. So, this is
the month of Mawlid; whether Mawlid is
considered an innovation or not, let's
not debate that, it is a culture. But
it can become an act of worship if
there is preaching and communal dining
involved. It is beautiful to eat
together, with people from all tribes.
The rich and the poor sitting together,
eating together—that is good; there
is preaching there, there is prayer
there. Now, if the Mawlid is hijacked
for politics, then it is just culture.
Right? So, in the name of Mawlid, God
knows. God cannot be deceived.
They hold this Mawlid to campaign,
right?
Well, that is just politics and culture
. Don't call it an act of worship. So,
there is no need to keep discussing
whether it is an innovation,
permissible, or forbidden. It depends
on how it is carried out; is the method
legitimate or not? It's that simple.
Every culture and good deed, if done
sincerely, well, and beneficially,
becomes an act of worship. Even with
Mawlid, if the intention is wrong, then
it is not an act of worship. Hopefully,
this is beneficial, God willing. May
you be blessed by Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala; we have just heard about the
greatness of our Master, the Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him. We will
take a short break, and we invite you,
brothers and sisters, to send in your
comments or questions for Ustaz Zainal
Hadi regarding the topic discussed this
afternoon. Please send them to the
Rasil WhatsApp number at 0811999720. To
speak with us directly, call our phone
number at 0218451512. We will be right
back. Yes. Radio Silaturahim and Rasil
Vision, for a unified Islam. Brothers
and sisters, may you be blessed by
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Thank you
for staying with us for the afternoon
lecture program on this Thursday
edition. We have just listened to the
lecture and advice delivered by Ustaz
Zainal Hadi regarding the greatness of
our Master, the Prophet Muhammad, peace
be upon him. Due to his greatness,
Allah and His angels are constantly
sending blessings upon him.
And there is no command to stop sending
those blessings, right? Constantly,
right, Ustaz?
Yes.
Based on what you said earlier, this is
the final era, the last generation,
right, Ustaz? Yes, the last generation.
Now, a conclusion is usually something
beautiful.
I
In your opinion, Ustaz. If we talk
about movies or stories, there can be a
happy ending.
Yes, yes, yes. That's right.
Will this world have a happy ending,
Ustaz? Hopefully, if it's a happy
ending for the righteous people.
For the righteous people.
Yes. So
it depends on the people themselves.
That's true. Earlier you said "khatam"
or "khitam" means a beautiful end.
That's right.
Yeah. "
Khitaamuhu misk." In the Quran, "
khitam" or the final seal is "misk"(
musk).
It means fragrance, it refers to a
scent.
Because the Prophet is the seal. So,
Prophet Muhammad is a happy ending.
Ending. That's right. That's right. Hm.
He is the ending; he brought a religion
that is truly suitable for the present
day. Also, why is Islam global, meant
for the entire nation?
Yes.
Because of culture, the evolution of
culture keeps moving forward and
forward. Eventually, technological
progress in transport, communication,
and the movement of people and goods
makes everything easier, right? So, the
world has become one culture now.
Yeah.
One culture. Now, the religion for that
is one, the same for everyone. In the
past, you couldn't do that; in the time
of Prophet Moses or Jesus, you couldn't
make a religion for the whole world
because cultures were different. For
instance, the teachings of the great
prophets could not be applied elsewhere
.
Yeah.
The teachings of Prophet Jesus on
compassion could not be applied
everywhere.
But now it is global, so a Prophet came
who brought teachings for the global
population
and they fit.
Furthermore, there are no more borders
between countries. Only territorial
boundaries. Cultural boundaries don't
exist.
Cultural law flows from a higher place
to a lower place.
Yeah.
We have what? Fruit flows to other
places. KFC from them flows here.
Yes.
Isn't that right? Everything is like
that. So, the religion is one.
Alright, Ustaz. We are already
connected with a listener on the phone
line. Hello. Assalamu'alaikum. Hello.
Assalamu'alaikum. Alright, are you
still connected? Oh, it seems we were
disconnected. I will go to an SMS
question, Ustaz, from a servant of
Allah in Jakarta. Assalamu'alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Ustaz Zain
Aladi, may you be blessed by Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Ustaz, is it true
that enjoying the moment of interacting
, praying, or sending blessings to the
Prophet is a beautiful gift that could
be even more beautiful than the
granting of the prayer itself? So, when
they pray, when they send blessings, or
interact with Allah, they actually
enjoy it, Ustaz.
Yes.
Is enjoying that more beautiful than
having a prayer answered? Yes. The
prayer is answered. Sometimes we don't
realize it has been answered. It seems
rational. But enjoying our prayers, our
Salah, our dhikr, and our salawat is
more delightful. That is true.
Absolutely true.
Yeah.
When we pray, whether it's night prayer
, doing dhikr, our heart tells us this
is delightful. Practice it for a long
time, and it becomes real. You can
truly enjoy it. Because what is all
this? Like people who play cards, let's
say.
Yeah. Yeah.
They stay up for two days and two
nights. If they didn't enjoy it, they
wouldn't stay up. They simply dictate
to their heart that playing cards is
enjoyable. So, they keep enjoying
whatever they play. Now, why don't we
teach our hearts to enjoy worship?
Once we teach ourselves to enjoy it, it
becomes a hobby. It becomes a hobby
until we are sincere and love Allah and
His Prophet. Yes, that is a joy beyond
compare.
Now, that's the question, Ustaz. Why is
it that when we pray or worship, it
doesn't become a hobby? Yeah.
It doesn't become a joy. Sitting while
playing cards, legs folded, getting
pins and needles, it's actually tiring.
But they enjoy it.
Or many other hobbies, right? Many
things are enjoyed because the heart
wants it.
So we should educate and teach our
hearts to want to enjoy Salah, enjoy
reading the Quran, enjoy even doing
wudu. Even when we're traveling out of
town, we get tired, then it's time for
prayer, the bus or car stops at a
mosque, we take wudu. Oh, it's so
enjoyable. Right?
Yeah. That is the joy of a Muslim, time
is never wasted like that. There is
time to pray, take wudu, and rest. Even
at work, you can take a break there.
Pray, do wudu, it's refreshing.
Everything is enjoyed. Let's teach our
hearts to enjoy it. It will feel good
later.
All right,
next is from Mr. Baroto in Bekasi.
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy
and blessings.
And peace be upon you, and Allah's
mercy.
Um, Ustaz, I would like some
enlightenment. If Islam is a mercy to
all worlds (Rahmatan lil alamin), for
Prophet Muhammad is for the universe,
what about outside this earth, Ustaz?
Like outer space. Do the teachings of
Islam and the Quran exist there too?
And what is the dimension like? Because
we believe outer space exists.
Yes. In the name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful. Yes.
Rahmatan lil alamin. Alamin is a plural
word. If it's singular, it's' alam '.
Yeah. Yeah.
Dual is' alamain '. Alamin means many
worlds. Muslim is one, muslimain is two
. Muslimin is many, alamin is many
worlds. So, we believe the Prophet is
preaching in other worlds, we just
don't know where. It's possible that
creatures exist on every planet. If you
look, there are unseen creatures. There
are creatures that are not visible.
There are many, according to knowledge,
even on a single leaf there are
hundreds of thousands of creatures. On
a leaf.
Tiny ones. So there are all sorts of
beings underground, and elsewhere. So
the Prophet be-became like the beings
there. He preached the Quran and about
Allah, Islam, and everything like that.
Because since the finality of Prophet
Muhammad, there are no more messengers
to preach that. It was Prophet Muhammad
, and now it is continued by his
followers, preaching and conveying
those teachings anywhere, anytime, with
no boundaries of time or place. Yes,
those teachings are the same as the
ones we follow. Perhaps if there are
changes, maybe the way of performing
wudu is slightly different or something
, adjusted to the conditions there, God
willing.
Uh-huh. Alright, moving on to the next
question from Bunda Rida. Peace be upon
you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
Ustaz, life nowadays feels like
returning to the age of Jahiliyyah,
Ustaz. War between brothers and so on.
Are the signs of the end times already
complete? Just waiting for the end.
Regards.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. That is correct.
It is indeed like that. The meaning of
Jahiliyyah is not knowing. Jahil. Jahil
means ignorant. Not knowing. Not
knowing how to manage life. So the
people of Jahiliyyah back then didn't
know how to read or write, they knew
nothing. At that time, the ancient
Jahiliyyah was like that. They didn't
understand ethics, didn't know how to
live a good life, knew absolutely
nothing. Truly ignorant, you see. Now,
the process of ignorance continues, it
just evolves. There is modern
Jahiliyyah, with technology and
everything else. What are they ignorant
of? Their ignorance is in not knowing
Allah. The Jahiliyyah of the past was
mainly about not knowing Allah, not
knowing religion, not knowing goodness,
not knowing the truth.
Yes.
Now, people hear the truth in sermons
everywhere, but they see without
perceiving, they hear without listening
. They have feelings but feel nothing.
Those are the ones whose hearts are
locked, whose hearts have turned to
stone, and so on. Jahiliyyah is
different in modern times; this is what
it's like. They seem smarter than the
ancient Jahiliyyah, which was blatant.
The Jahiliyyah now can wear turbans,
can do all sorts of things, including
the human realm and the unseen realm,
like the jinns, it's all the same.
Their situation is similar, their
dimension is invisible. They live among
us, right here with us. They have
households, have countries, have armies
, have police, have tanks, have
airplanes, have trains, and cars right
here in the same location as us. It’s
just a different dimension.
Uh-huh.
They build houses on top of that, with
certificates and everything, buying and
selling. Well, that's culture. They
have a culture; religion was sent for
humans and jinns. Jinna wal insa. They
have religion, and they have schools of
thought just like us. Exactly like us
in every way. So let's assume we are in
one location on this earth, there are
many creatures besides humans in the
same space, but they don't collide
because they are of different types and
forms.
Huh.
They have a form, but without material,
like a spirit, like the wind, just like
wind. And they can pass through walls.
But, is it okay if I tell a little
story?
Yes. I once went to the bathroom and
saw a worm. I just watched that worm
running. Where did it run? To the wall.
It went into the wall and came out
again. How could that soft body do that
? How could it pass through a wall? It
seems nonsensical. It truly is
nonsensical.
The wall had no cracks; it was solid.
Even I, who saw this, was half in
disbelief. Huh.
Yes.
Until now, I still think about whether
I really saw it or not. But in the end,
I was truly convinced. So, there were
creatures there that were sent, not
from the outside, but walking from
underground, from under the wall; they
were scared and went straight through.
Yes.
But the wall wasn't broken.
It's hard to accept, but it happened.
It means there are other beings in
other realms, all with different forms,
not like us; there are many kinds of
Allah's creatures, not just jinn; there
are angels, humans, and other creatures
whose names we don't know, with all
sorts of shapes. They can transform;
they can become trees, cans, they can
become—Subhanallah, Allahu Akbar,
lailahaillallah. Allah is the Creator,
Allah is the Creator, and He can create
not just in the past; even now, He must
be creating whatever He wills. Don't
assume that once the world was finished
, God just rested. No. He continues to
make what He wants. Whatever He likes,
He makes. He can even create new
creatures. New forms, different kinds,
new shapes. At any time, we just can't
see them. Now, there are creatures that
can see us. Angels can see jinn. Jinn
cannot see angels. But jinn can see us,
while we cannot see them. Huh.
Now, that feeling is real, you know.
Sometimes you can feel it, right? God
willing.
Next is from Umi Siti in Depok. Peace
be upon you, and Allah's mercy and
blessings. Ustaz, I would like to ask
about the intercession of Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, in the
hereafter for his followers. However,
some say that Prophet Muhammad seems
burdened by his followers so that he
must provide intercession, must provide
help in the hereafter. Is that true,
Ustaz? Please explain.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. Intercession
exists in the Quran. First, the verse
goes like this: Manzalladzi yasfau
indahu illa biidni. No one can give
intercession, meaning help,
to be near Allah except for those who
receive permission from Allah. Huh.
Who receives permission.
Remember, receiving permission. Allah
permits him to be able to forgive,
pardon, and save. Now, the one who has
requested that permission is Prophet
Muhammad. How was that? Prophet
Muhammad was exceptionally loved by
Allah.
He was offered mountains of gold and
everything else. He didn't want
anything. Why, O Messenger of Allah?
Just ask Allah. He was under economic
embargo by the Jahiliyyah people for 3
years.
Sometimes only eating dried grass or
dry bread. Until his daughter Fatimah
had to support her stomach. Supported.
Yeah.
For those 3 years, none of the
Prophet's family had converted to Islam
yet. The Prophet preached to his family
first. Wanzir asiratakal akrabin. Give
warnings to your relatives. His family
was first during those 3 years of
embargo.
Yes, the boycott. The Prophet hadn't
preached outside, still only to his
family. Even those being boycotted were
his family.
Bani Hashim. After that, The Prophet
asked Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala for one
request. The companions, his family
asked. His companions asked, "O
Messenger of Allah, just ask for it.
Ask for a feast from the sky like the
prophets of old asked for food. Just
ask." The Prophet said, "No. I will not
ask for anything until my one request
is granted. I only ask for one thing
from Allah. Just one." What is that, O
Messenger of Allah? I ask for
intercession for my people. Now, where
is the decree that Allah has granted
and given permission to the Prophet to
provide intercession, to give aid to
his people? In Surah Ad-Duha, wallaili
saja'a. Wa sawfa yu'tika rabbuka
fatarda. "Sawfa" is an Arabic word for
something that will come, but in the
distant future. "Sawfa yu'tika" means
soon, in the future, I will grant you
what you desire, I will provide it for
you. Allah will grant, your Lord will
grant what you desire, that is
intercession.
The Prophet had no other desire;
moreover, that intercession is
originally a general term, no one can
intercede unless given permission, so
the Quran is interpreted by the Quran
again, except for those who have
permission, who is that? Prophet
Muhammad. Where is the decree? Wa sawfa
yu'tika rabbuka fatarda.
Yes.
So that general sentence in other
verses says there is no intercession in
the afterlife, no one, no advocate, no
one can provide intercession. True.
That is a general sentence. Where is
the exception?
Yes.
What is the exception? Illa bi-idnihi.
Except for those who get permission
from Allah. No one can help or provide
intercession. None at all. That is a
general sentence in the Quran later.
But the Quran must be qualified by the
Quran again, by other verses. So, what
is the verse? Illa bi-idnihi. Except
those who get permission can intercede,
can be an advocate. So, who has
received permission? Prophet Muhammad.
Wa sawfa yu'tika.
So we are just sticking to the Quran,
not using scholars' opinions first. So
the validity is certain.
Yes.
Like that.
And earlier the question was, is this
community a burden when they must be
given intercession?
Oh, no. Because the Prophet already
asked Allah and he got that one thing.
Second, the Prophet also
in the Quran, Surah Al-Fath, his future
sins have already been forgiven. If
there are those yet to come, those who
will come, they will be forgiven by
Allah.
So why does he still worship? He
worships so much that his feet would
sometimes get swollen, for what reason?
And even though, in reality, the
Prophet did not commit sins, he had no
sins at all.
He worshipped to help his people. First
, it is said, are you not grateful that
Allah is so good to you, and so on. Yes
.
Now, the second is, he can defend his
people later. So, for example, if
someone dies and has unpaid debts,
cannot pay them. They intended to pay,
but did not. Later, the Messenger will
pay for them from his rewards.
That is the intercession, right?
Intercession.
So, how can we be helped by the
Messenger, Ustaz?
How can we receive the Messenger's
intercession, Ustaz?
Well, that is easy. Now, to receive
someone's intercession, to have someone
be good to you, what is needed? Love.
Hmm.
Love. So, if you love the Messenger and
send blessings upon him, you will
surely get it. He is a good person; he
wouldn't ignore someone's love. Yes.
Even those who don't love him will be
given mercy, let alone those who love
him and whom he loves. It is impossible
for him not to. He will definitely love
those who love him.
His birth month is commemorated; a
Maulid is held, money is spent to buy a
goat or other things. Why? If you throw
a birthday party for your child, why?
Because of love.
Yes, love.
This is why we must have the right
intention when holding a Maulid. Don't
just party; it's okay to have fun,
share cakes, and give candy to children
. Birthdays are allowed, after all.
Maulid is a birthday. Yes, the meaning
of Maulid is birthday. The birthday of
the Prophet. Now, if you call the
Prophet's birthday a bid'ah, but your
own child's birthday is not, what is
that? But now, thank God, everyone
understands. Everyone wants to hold a
Maulid now. Everyone is holding them.
It just depends on the intention. Do it
with sincerity. Do not hold a Maulid
for this or for that. You will lose out
in the afterlife. The deeds will be in
vain. Yes, that's true. Just loving the
Prophet is enough. God willing, you
will get intercession, and the Maulid
itself is good. There is preaching
there, there is fostering love among
the people. Eating together is
beautiful, good, it is extraordinary.
When we see people sitting and eating
together, it shows the Muslim community
is united. I prefer the old way of
eating with those trays, what are they
called? Five people or four people?
Trays, right? Trays.
People eating together.
Eating together, four people, it's
clean, there's a washbasin, then it's
taken to the plates again. But you can
see the unity; it is truly beautiful.
Rather than queuing for so long, it's
better to just sit together like that.
Yes.
No need to get tired of washing dishes.
The beauty lies in togetherness. Yes.
Next, Ustaz, from Ibu Mamh in
Jatiwaringin. Assalamu'alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Ustaz, how
do we keep our hearts steadfast,
maintain consistent intentions, and
apply the teachings of the Quran
brought by Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, both vertically, in our
relationship with Allah, and
horizontally, in our relations with
others? And secondly, all monotheistic
religions are explained in the Quran,
and Prophet Muhammad confirmed them.
Could you explain that, Ustaz?
Yes,
thank you. Regarding the second point,
what was the first one again? The first
one
about staying steadfast, istiqamah,
that starts in the heart. With the
right intention in the heart,
everything can be achieved. Achieving
closeness to Allah. Feeling as though
you are seen by Allah. The key to
everything, as I said, is to cleanse
the heart. You have already reached
this point, you are clean. Perhaps
there are still small things to polish,
just keep cleansing a little more. Yes.
But you have already reached this point
, so you are clean. If you aren't clean
, you won't hear, you won't get the
results.
Yes, Ustaz. Really.
People who are willing to listen,
willing to hear the Quran, willing to
listen to lectures from anywhere, their
hearts are clean; they have that desire
. Now, once it is clean, what you
desire will be achieved, right?
Steadfastness. Keep it clean, keep the
process going, stay in the process. How
do you actually do it? Well, for
instance, if our partner is angry,
forgive them. If they are wrong, just
forgive them, let it go, it's okay, be
the one to give in more often. Not
giving in to sin, of course. Not
yielding to vice, but yielding in
material matters, in everything, just
out of love, having pity for others. If
you feel hatred, don't; have pity for
them, don't, just pray for them, that's
it. We educate this constantly, talk to
our hearts, keep talking to them to
stay clean, to stay clean, to stay
clean. Once it is clean, Allah looks at
our heart. Once it is observed, when
Allah looks into this heart, His light
enters continuously. Loving the message
, loving the religion, loving
everything makes life beautiful; prayer
feels delightful, reading the Quran is
a joy, wudu is a delight, that is where
happiness lies. Even if a person is
rich, a high-ranking official, or
whatever, if their heart is not clean,
they will not be happy, they will not
find joy. Because joy exists in the
heart, you see. Food, restaurants,
hotels, and things like that are
pleasant. Music is pleasant for the
ears, food is tasty for the tongue, but
it all lasts for a moment. But
happiness is not located in any
physical organ. Happiness resides in
the soul, in the spirit. Which soul is
capable of happiness? Surely, the clean
heart; heaven is already in that chest.
When the heart is clean, there is a
paradise within the chest. That is the
process of learning to enjoy the
struggle. Everything in Islam is about
the heart. Look at the Quran,
everything in it concerns the heart.
How many lessons have we covered? Five
times already, and it’s always a
continuation of matters regarding the
heart, right? If the heart is clean,
even sustenance comes in abundance. If
the heart is clean, sustenance will
come. Just stay calm, Allah is near.
Allah looks at a clean heart. Even if
the heart is silent, it is a blessing.
Yes. "Ya ayyatuhan-nafsul-mutma'innah."
"O tranquil soul, the soul that is at
peace, whose heart is clean, return to
your Lord." If you are pleased, and you
are pleased, then Allah is pleased with
you. Enter with my servants, gather and
stay in my paradise. Then comes the
greeting, welcome into paradise. That
is being deeply loved by Allah.
Welcomed warmly upon passing because
Allah misses you. Excuse me, everyone,
parents do not create children, they
only give birth. They love their
children dearly, missing them when they
are away. Imagine Allah, who owns,
creates, possesses, sustains, and
provides, 1000 times, a billion times
more than the love parents have for us.
Try it once you have passed on, you
will feel how Allah loves you. Enjoying
the feeling of being loved by Allah is
already incredibly blissful. It is
truly extraordinary. That is it. Love
Allah, cherish Allah. Keep your heart
pure. The key to everything is a pure
heart. Do not ever act unjustly toward
others. That is a heavy sin. Sins
against Allah, ask for forgiveness and
you are forgiven. Allah is the Most
Forgiving, the Most Merciful. Ask me
for forgiveness, and I will forgive you
. But if you wrong others, take their
rights, oh, that is a matter for the
hereafter. Especially hating, holding
grudges, hostility, spying, trapping,
or causing trouble; it is all heavy. It
violates fundamental rights, human
rights, human dignity. God is very
angry at that. God loves even those who
do not pray, those who are naughty are
still loved, let alone those who pray
and worship. God willing.
The second point concerns all religions
based on monotheism mentioned in the
Quran, and Prophet Muhammad confirms it
. Please explain, Ustaz.
Correct. In the name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful. All
prophets from Adam to the Messenger
brought one mission. Worship Allah and
associate nothing with Him. Worship
Allah and associate nothing with Him.
It is all about this, sir. Worship only
Allah. Do not commit shirk in the
slightest. Worship with full focus on
Allah. Do not commit shirk in the
slightest. Every prophet brought that
mission. Monotheism. Monotheism is in
the mind, in the heart. Only Allah do I
love. Only Allah do I fear. Only Allah
do I respect the most. I love, I revere
, I hope in Him entirely. That is
monotheism. It is in the heart, in the
mind, in the feelings. Monotheism is...
...all those prophets are in the Quran.
Worship Allah. The phrase is: worship
Allah and do not associate anything
with Him. That is the verse. All
prophets brought that verse.
God willing.
Very well, Ustaz. That is the final
question we can answer.
As a closing for this afternoon's
lecture. What is it?
The conclusion is, to Allah we belong
and to Him we shall return. Our beings
belong to Allah, we are His possession.
The King of mankind, the owner of
mankind. So we belong to Him, we are
His, and we will return to Him. There
is no other way, the heart must be
filled with "Allah is enough for me."
I have enough with Allah. He is
everything to me. He is the one I
admire the most. He is the one I love
the most. He is the one I obey the most
. He is the one I follow the most. He
is the one I revere the most. He is the
only one I hope for, Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. That is all. Faith is already
strong. Ma fi qolbi illallah. In my
heart, there is nothing I remember but
Allah.
Yes, God willing. May Allah grant
success and guidance. And peace be upon
you, and Allah's mercy.
That concludes it, brothers and sisters
who are blessed by Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. This afternoon's sermon for
today, Thursday afternoon with Ustaz
Zain Alhadi. Hopefully, what he has
shared is beneficial for us all. We
apologize to the brothers and sisters
whose texts could not be answered this
time due to limited time. Thank you for
joining us from the studio, I am Angga
Aminuddin, accompanied by Yusuf
Subangkit. Signing off. May Allah grant
success and guidance. Glory be to You,
O Allah, and with Your praise, I bear
witness that there is no god but You, I
seek Your forgiveness and repent to You
. May the peace, mercy, and blessings
of Allah be upon you.
And peace be upon you too.
