In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. May the peace,
mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon
you.
And may the peace, mercy, and blessings
of Allah be upon you too.
O Allah, bestow blessings upon our
master Muhammad and upon the family of
our master Muhammad. Praise be to Allah
, we meet again today, Friday, the 14th
of Jumada al-Akhir 1447 Hijri, or
December 5th, 2025. We meet again for
the program "Reflections Under the
Shade of the Qur'an" with Ustaz Husin
bin Hamid Alatas for our Q&A edition.
Please, if you have any questions, feel
free to send them to 0811999720. Also
present here are Ondi and Algi. Peace
be upon you, Ustaz.
And peace, mercy, and blessings of
Allah be upon you. Very well, let us
begin this program by reciting
al-Fatihah. I seek refuge in Allah from
the accursed Satan. In the name of
Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful. All praise is due to Allah,
Lord of the worlds. The Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of
Judgment. It is You we worship and You
we ask for help. Guide us to the
straight path. The path of those upon
whom You have bestowed favor. Not of
those who have evoked [Your] anger or
of those who are astray. Praise be to
Allah, we have finished reciting
al-Fatihah. May Allah make it easy for
us to grasp the answers given by Ustaz
Husin bin Hamid Alatas. Very well, the
first question comes from Mr. Dadang in
Cikampek. Greetings.
Peace be upon you, Ustaz Husin.
Ustaz, may the peace, mercy, and
blessings of Allah be upon you. I am
someone who finds it difficult to
memorize. So, whenever I pray, I always
use a prayer book. Is my prayer
sufficient? Ustaz, just reading the
question from Mr. Dadang in Cikampek.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. All praise is due
to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Abundant,
good, and blessed praise as our Lord
loves. O Allah, bestow blessings upon
Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
Our Lord, increase us in knowledge and
wisdom. O Allah, grant us mercy from
You and bestow upon us beneficial
knowledge. Our Lord, increase us in
knowledge and wisdom. Peace be upon you
, O Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon
us and upon the righteous servants of
Allah. And may the peace, mercy, and
blessings of Allah be upon you.
Answering Mr. Dadang's question. Mr.
Dadang, you are free in how you pray.
Whether you pray without reading a text
of the prayer or by reading from a book
, provided that those prayers are
entirely in accordance with Allah's
provisions and guidance. We offer our
prayers only to Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Then, before we ask of Allah,
we precede it with salawat (blessings
upon the Prophet). As we know that the
role of our Prophet is to bring
guidance from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
. Allah made him a guide, made him a
light, and he has done such a great
service for all of us believers. So,
after we praise Allah, send blessings
upon His Messenger, then we seek
forgiveness, we petition to Allah.
Whether it is a prayer we have
memorized or one recorded in a book, we
offer it entirely to Allah, and we do
not associate partners with Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala in our prayers. But
the important thing in reciting a
prayer is that we understand the prayer
we are reading. We understand the
prayer that
we read. Because we are speaking to
Allah. If we pray just by reading words
we do not understand, it means it is
not coming from our hearts. Now, if you
understand some of the prayers from the
Qur'an, understand their meanings, or
prayers from our Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Then that
is good. Now, if you cannot speak
Arabic, pray in Indonesian. Either
outside of prayer or when we are in
prostration during prayer after we
recite "subhana rabbiyal a'la
wabihamdih." When you are praying a
voluntary prayer not in congregation,
where you are not bound by
congregational rules, you may perform a
long prostration. After praising Allah,
we make our supplications to Him. If
necessary, shed tears with full focus,
humility, and sincerity. Supplications
like these are highly answered. So the
purpose of this prayer is for us to
convey all our needs and desires to
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, our Most
Merciful and Compassionate Lord.
Therefore, these prayers should come
from our hearts, understood in
accordance with our specific needs and
desires. How rich are the believers
even when they are destitute and poor.
They beg from the One who is
All-Wealthy. How strong are the
believers even when they are weak. They
seek refuge in Allah, the All-Powerful.
So, in our prayers, we should truly
feel that we are speaking and lifting
our hopes to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
the Most Generous and Merciful, who
hears our whispered prayers. And Allah
knows best.
Alright, next is from Mr. Dodi Suwondo.
Peace be upon you, Ustaz Husein.
Yes. Ustaz, is the door of ijtihad
still open in this modern era, and who
has the right to practice it? Hmm.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. The Quran is the
holy book that Allah has made our guide
for life. Allah established it as our
guide. Allah established it as our
direction. Allah established it as the
Furqan, the separator between truth and
falsehood. Allah established it as the
light that illuminates our path through
the darkness of life. Allah also
established it as a cure, a healer, and
a mercy. Therefore, based on what Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala explains regarding
the role of the Quran, its validity
lasts for all time. It is not just for
the time when our Prophet lived or when
the companions lived, but the Quran's
role as a life guide, a direction, a
light, and a separator between truth
and falsehood—as a standard and value
system—is valid for all time. Now,
the companions, in accordance with the
challenges they faced, returned to the
Quran. Then came the Tabi'in, and
various events and incidents emerged.
They also referred to the Quran, asking
Allah about the rulings on new problems
they faced which did not exist in
previous times. The Quran provides
guidance and signposts for us to answer
the challenges of the times. Likewise,
the Tabi 'al-Tabi'in and the great
mujtahid imams came. They returned to
the Quran and the Prophet's Sunnah to
face the challenges of their eras.
Therefore, ijtihad continues to take
place in accordance with the challenges
of the times being faced. Now, if
ijtihad stopped during the era of the
mujtahid imams, then what? It would
mean that Islam would no longer be able
to answer the challenges of the times
that did not exist in those periods.
Thus, new ijtihad is needed from our
scholars who are truly capable and meet
the requirements for ijtihad. Yes, not
just mastering jurisprudence without
evidence, but mastering every law by
referring to its evidence, whether from
the Book or the Sunnah of our Prophet
Muhammad. peace and blessings be upon
him and his family, and he is capable
of developing his skills and abilities
to answer the challenges of the times.
He masters the language of the Quran
well. He also understands the various
disciplines of Quranic sciences. And he
also understands the traditions of the
Prophet related to the cases being
faced. So, if a person is truly trained
to do this, having the qualified
ability to return to the Book of Allah
and the traditions of His Messenger,
God willing, he will easily find
answers that are in accordance with the
challenges of the times being faced.
Because the Quran is the knowledge of
Allah which encompasses the unseen, the
present, as well as the past. There is
nothing hidden from Allah. And Allah
says, "Ma farratna fil kitabi min shay'
." We have not neglected anything in
the Book. Everything that humans need,
whether in the past, present, or future
. The answers have actually been
prepared by Allah in the Quran. It is
up to the scholars to explore it, to
research it, until they can provide
answers that settle their hearts and
offer solutions for the community. But
if current scholars return to the
jurisprudence and opinions of past
scholars to face the challenges of the
times, this is an inappropriate
response.
Hmm. Because what is being faced today
is different from what was faced by
Imam Shafi'i, Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad
bin Hanbal, Abu Hanifah, and others.
And they did not know the unseen. So
let us not follow the words of some
irrational people who say, "ma akala
al-awwaluna lil-akhirin." The
predecessors left nothing for those who
are to come. This is a false statement.
If the holy Quran answers all the
challenges of the times, it is true.
And Allah will deploy people who are
truly what? God-fearing, people who are
deep in their knowledge to answer the
challenges of the times by referring to
the Quran and Sunnah. Because the Quran
is a standard of life that applies
throughout all time. So if people say
we are not justified in performing
ijtihad, and we are obligated to return
to the opinions of scholars in the past
.
Like those who hold to this opinion
among the followers of the salaf, this
is a disaster for the community.
And it freezes the role of the Quran in
the true sense. Whereas the Quran is a
pillar of our faith.
Yeah. So every challenge of the times
has its answer. From where? It is
impossible for us to return to past
scholars who did not witness them. For
example, if someone asks regarding
cloning, regarding transplantation,
of organs, and also regarding what?
Let's say, blood transfusion. Is it
possible for us to answer from the
jurisprudence of past scholars? It is
impossible. Because these cases did not
exist for the scholars of the past. So
by referring to the Quran and the
Sunnah of the Prophet, from the
guidelines that Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala has provided, scholars answer
the challenges of the times. Therefore,
the validity of the Quran never expires
. Unlike the jurisprudence of scholars,
its validity might expire with their
passing. Heh.
Therefore, a mujtahid who addresses the
challenges of this era is a living
mujtahid. Now, this living mujtahid
observes whether the challenges of the
times they face have already been
addressed by scholars of the past. They
take a look. And if they find several
answers, they choose the one most
consistent with the guidance of the
Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet,
truly safeguarding the safety and
well-being of the Ummah. Because Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala, through His
religion, wishes to provide ease and a
more beautiful path for them.
Yuriidullahu bikumul yusra wa la
yuriidu bikumul 'usr (Allah intends for
you ease and does not intend for you
hardship). Likewise, He has not placed
upon you in the religion any difficulty
. So, to the gentleman who asked,
ijtihad cannot possibly be stopped. If
he stops ijtihad, it means he stops the
teachings of Islam,
which would then only be capable of
answering the challenges of the past.
It is no wonder, then, that the Muslim
community today is left behind or
abandoned and has no role, except
perhaps within the mosque speaking only
about rituals. Then what is it that
they are unable to answer? They call
things bid'ah (innovation) because they
did not exist in the time of the salaf
(predecessors). This means what they
follow is no longer Allah, not His
Messenger, not His Holy Book, but what
they worship is the salaf.
Whoever those salaf may be, the salaf
are people who preceded us, who
answered the challenges of their own
times. They are responsible for what
they did. H.
But to answer the challenges of this
era, a mujtahid must emerge who
addresses these challenges according to
the guidance of Allah and the Sunnah of
His Prophet. Wallahu a'lam (Allah knows
best).
Alright, next from Mr. Yahya in Serang,
Banten. Assalamualaikum, Husin. Ustaz,
is the task of revelation to correct
reason, or is the task of reason to
interpret revelation? From Mr. Yahya in
Serang, Banten.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. When Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala sent down our
forefather and grandmother, Allah
reminded them, and also reminded their
descendants. Fa imma ya'tiyannakum
minni hudan faman tabi'a hudaya fala
yawillu wala yashqa (Then if there
comes to you guidance from Me, whoever
follows My guidance will neither go
astray nor suffer). If My guidance
reaches you, then whoever follows My
guidance will not be lost and will not
be miserable. Wa man a'rada fa inna
lahu ma'ishatan danka (And whoever
turns away from My remembrance-indeed,
he will have a depressed life). Whoever
turns away and does not heed, does not
care about the lessons and warnings I
provide, will live in distress, in a
narrowness that will suffocate them. Wa
nahsyuruhu yaumal qiyamati a'ma. And We
will gather them on the Day of
Resurrection blind. Qala rabbi lima
hasyartani a'ma wa qad kuntu bashira.
He says, "My Lord, why have You
gathered me blind, while I used to be
able to see?" Answered by Allah,
kadzalika atatka ayatina fanasitaha.
That is your recompense. Before, when
Our verses came to you, you forgot them
. Now, you are also among those who are
forgotten. Likewise, Allah explains,
Allahu anzala al-kitaba bil-haqqi
wal-mizan. Allah who sent down the Book
with the truth. Yes, meaning the
absolute truth. Wal-mizan, also
functioning as a balance and the
highest standard. Allah who placed us
on this earth. As khalifah (stewards),
it is impossible for Allah to let them
live without guidance. If they do not
receive guidance from Allah, then their
deviations and incorrect behavior
cannot be blamed, because they have not
yet received guidance and warnings from
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So Allah
sent down His holy book and the sunnah
of His Messenger, yes. Uh, Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala sent down His book.
Then He made His Messenger the teacher
who practices the contents of the
Qur'an and explains it to them. Not
just as a lesson that we can take or
leave, but as the true guide for life
and the highest standard, where we
return all the values of our lives to
the noble Qur'an and refer to the
sunnahs of our Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam that are in
harmony and alignment with the Qur'an.
Because whatever is not in harmony or
alignment with the Qur'an, we can be
sure that it is not the sunnah of the
Messenger, but an infiltration
attempting to confuse our understanding
of the religion. Now, the question is,
does the Qur'an function to correct the
intellect? Does the intellect function
as what? As an interpreter that
interprets the Qur'an. Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala has made us His vicegerents (
khalifah), Mas Krishna. Granting us
intellect. With the intellect that
Allah has given to humans. Humans are
responsible
for all their attitudes, actions, and
speech. If a human does not possess
intellect or loses their intellect,
they no longer function as a mukallaf (
accountable person) or a khalifah.
Therefore, Allah's law does not apply
to those who are not sane. Yes, the law
is also suspended for those in a coma
until they awaken. Or a person who is
asleep, say they sleep in so late that
they unknowingly miss the Fajr prayer.
When they are asleep, they are not a
mukallaf; once they wake up from their
sleep, at that moment they are
obligated to perform the prayer they
missed. Because of what? Because they
were asleep. Even though it is already,
yes, let's say even though it is past
the dawn time, the moment they remember
, they perform wudu and pray at that
time.
Because of what? Because when they were
asleep, yes, at that time their status
was not in a state of possessing
intellect. Therefore, this role of
intellect determines whether a person
is a mukallaf or not, or responsible or
not responsible. So Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala speaks to humans according to
the intellect and knowledge that Allah
has given them. Allah also speaks to
them according to what? According to
their ability to absorb guidance and
instruction. Allah will not ask them
about what they do not know. Therefore,
if a person unintentionally, out of
ignorance even after having learned,
makes a mistake, they are forgiven by
Allah. "Tujaawiza an ummatii al-khat'a
..."(forgiven from my ummah are those
who make a mistake), or they forget, or
they are forced into an act against
their will. But, actions performed
based on understanding, choice without
any coercion, that is what will later
be accounted for before Allah. So,
first of all, we have explained
previously that revelation is the
highest standard of values. It is
guidance that comes from Allah, not
from humans. He is also the light that
illuminates the darkness of our lives.
He is also a mercy that God has
bestowed upon us so that we humans do
not become guinea pigs. Becoming guinea
pigs for some other humans. But
directly
all the issues of our lives are
illuminated by the guidance of Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala regarding our
individual lives, our social lives.
Likewise regarding our economic life,
regarding rights, parents' rights,
children's rights, wives 'rights,
husbands' rights. There is not a single
issue in our lives that has not been
explained by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
in the Qur'an and elaborated upon,
detailed by our Prophet, and also
through the life practices of our
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
alihi wasallam. Then we ask, what is
the role of reason?
What is the role
of reason? I will give a simple analogy
for Mr. Yahya.
Mr. Yahya, if someone, Mas Krishna, has
healthy eyeballs. Everything is healthy
and sound, but if they are in darkness,
can they see?
No.
With the presence of light
Yeah.
our healthy eyeballs can see. It is the
same with reason. Reason on its own is
full of limitations. It is impossible
for us to be able to know our God well
through our reason alone. We are
certain there is a creator who created
the universe. But to know Him, His
attributes, and His names without
introduction from Allah is impossible.
And it is not possible for us through
reason to know what Allah desires from
us as His servants. placed on earth as
His caliphs. Therefore, Allah
intervenes to explain to us where we
came from, then where we will go, then
why we are placed in this worldly life?
And how we can live correctly in
accordance with what is desired by
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Everything
is informed by Allah in the Qur'an.
Allah explains where we came from.
Allah also explains Himself as the
creator with no partners unto Him.
Allah also explains us as His caliphs
on earth, responsible for our choices.
Then Allah provides guidance on how to
live properly and also explains the
final day when we are gathered,
resurrected, and held to account by
Allah. Allah explains the place for
believers who obey Allah is in paradise
, and those who are defiant and
disobedient are in the torment of His
hellfire. All that with absolute
justice. It is impossible at all for
our reason to be able to understand
that. Likewise, with just the reason
that Allah has given us, we cannot
ensure whether what we are doing is
right or not.
H
what is the proof? Differences of
opinion occur among humans in
determining the truth.
Hm.
So Allah sent down the true guidance.
The word "al-haqq" means that which is
certainly the truth. the truth which is
certain, which comes from your Lord.
So do not be among those who are
doubtful and hesitant. Therefore, in
the midst of differences of opinion,
differences also in what? Differences
in ways of life, where among humans,
each believes in their own truth. The
light of Allah arrives to provide
illumination. This is the true way of
life. This is the guidance that comes
from your Creator, explaining that in
the hereafter, you will be resurrected
by Allah and gathered to be held
accountable. When you need something,
come to Allah; pray to Him. Allah has
provided His names, which are so
beautiful.
When you are afraid of something, take
refuge in Allah. Therefore, Suratul
Fatihah is the essence of the Qur'an.
If a person understands it correctly,
what kind of life will they truly have?
Living in peace on the path and
guidance of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So, Mas Krishna, what is the intellect
(akal)? It is the greatest gift from
Allah to mankind. Because once our
intellect is taken away, even if we are
handsome, beautiful, or possess all
sorts of advantages, we lose the
meaning of our humanity. But the
intellect is a gift from Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala that Allah has
bestowed upon us. With the intellect,
we are held accountable before Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Therefore, in a
narration from the Ahlul Bait, "ma
khalaqallahu saaian afdola minal aqli."
Allah did not create anything more
noble than the intellect. Now, what I
mean by intellect is not just "trickery
" or whims. Yeah.
The intellect here is a gift from Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala that makes humans
worthy of being addressed by Allah and
responsible for their lives. Now, if
the human soul is governed by the
intellect, then life will surely be
righteous. But if this human soul is
governed by its desires and its
intellect is imprisoned, then it will
become more terrifying than a wild
beast. So in understanding the Qur'an,
Bapak Yahya, Allah has actually
provided a beautiful guidance and
method for us. Which is not followed
enough by most people. So, the
intellect receives light and
illumination from the Qur'an. It is not
meant to force the Qur'an to follow the
intellect. That is a big mistake.
Instead, the intellect is like an eye
that receives light. With the presence
of light, the eye can distinguish
between flat roads, holes, oceans,
hills, and mountains. Yeah.
Now, the intellect is the same. The
intellect does not control the Qur'an,
but the intellect is like an eye
illuminated by light so that it can see
. Likewise, the revelation of Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala serves as the light
illuminating the intellect, showing the
way. Regarding the method of
interpreting the Qur'an, Allah has
explained to us that we should not
interpret the Qur'an in fragments or
isolation,
but rather interpret the Qur'an by
connecting the related verses. Then we
draw a conclusion in what way? In a
comprehensive way, not by interpreting
verses piece by piece. Yeah.
Therefore, scholars of Tafsir,
including the Usulis and the
researchers, agree that "Al-Qur'an
yufassir ba'duhu ba'd," the Qur'an
interprets itself.
For example, Mas Krishna,
when we talk about destiny (takdir)
or about divine decree (qada),
we find that the scholars differ.
Hm.
There are the Mu'tazila, the Ash'ari,
and other groups as well. Let's say the
Jabariya or the Salafi; their
interpretations differ. Even though
this is a very important issue. Why?
They differ in interpreting the meaning
of destiny, or qadar and qada, because
they do not return to the Quran, which
explains the intent of those terms. If
we gather the verses that contain the
word "qadar," we understand that it
explains the laws and rules that govern
the life of the entire universe with
full wisdom. Such as regulating our
earth, rotating on its axis, orbiting
the sun along with its planets, and the
sun along with all its planets orbiting
the center of its galaxy. That is
explained clearly in Surah Yasin. And
the sun runs its course. Towards its
destination. So the sun is "destined"
—meaning determined by a perfect law
—
along with all its planets, to orbit
the center of its galaxy. Just as the
earth also orbits what? It orbits the
sun. Allah explains, "Everything
created by Allah has a perfect measure
and size.""Indeed, We have created
everything with qadar." Indeed,
everything We have created with a
measure and size. Allah also reminds us
to glorify Him so that we do not
misunderstand the decrees of Allah
Subhanahu wa taala which are so perfect
. In the name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful. Glorify
the name of your Lord, the Most High.
Who created and perfected His creation
with complete balance. Then Allah
emphasizes, "And who has ordained and
guided." And He who established the
measure, the rules of law for all His
creations. And guided. Then Allah gives
us guidance to understand it. Various
scientific disciplines were born,
derived from these natural laws
established by Allah Subhanahu wa taala
. Physics, biology, geology, and
astronomy were born, all derived from
the natural laws established by Allah
Subhanahu wa taala. So, if we return
the word "takdir"(destiny) to the Quran
, it does not explain to us that human
deeds are determined by Allah without
any choice. This is the Jabariyah
ideology, which is far from the Quran.
But destiny explains to us that Allah
has established and created everything
with rules that are truly perfect. Now,
it remains for us to follow Allah's
rules;
if we do,
we will progress; if we violate Allah's
rules, we will perish. Therefore, when
people ask, "Mas Krishna, the events
happening in North Sumatra, whether in
Aceh, Medan, or West Sumatra in Padang,
is that destiny?" The answer is no.
That is a violation of Allah's destiny.
Allah created our earth with full
balance.
He created trees in the middle of
forests to absorb water to protect
against landslides and floods. Also to
keep our earth's temperature from what?
From heating up beyond its limits. But
human hands destroy Allah's destiny,
cutting down forests due to greed and
avarice. Ultimately causing our soil to
become fragile. The soil also no longer
absorbs water as a reserve.
The earth's temperature rises, and
natural disasters occur. Then Allah is
blamed for His destiny.
This is a violation of the destiny of
Allah Subhanahu wa taala. So, this is
the picture, Mr. Yahya. If we want to
understand a term in the Quran, we
should not interpret it separately from
the others.
But
we must gather the verses that speak
about destiny.
Then we can conclude that the use of
the word "destiny" in the Qur'an is
different from what is intended by the
Jabariyah school.
Hm. If the Muslim community returned to
the Qur'an and interpreted the Qur'an
with the Qur'an, such contradictions as
we see today would not happen. So, as
Allah reminds us in the surah, in which
surah? In Surah Al-Hijr. "Qul inni anan
nadhirul mubin." Say, O Messenger, "
Indeed, I am a clear warner.""Kama
anzalna 'alal muqtasimin," as We have
sent down upon the dividers. "
Muqtasimin" in Arabic means those who
divide. "Alladhina ja'alul qur'ana'
idhin." Meaning those who divide the
Qur'an and separate its verses instead
of interpreting them as a single unity.
"Fawabbika nas'alannahum ajma'in." So
by your Lord, by your Lord, We will
surely question them all. "Amma kanu
ya'malun," about what they used to do.
Because they interpret the Qur'an
separately, not as a single unity.
Ultimately, it creates contradictory
understandings. So many scholars who
interpret the Qur'an do not follow the
method of interpretation taught by
Allah. Now, if we interpret verses with
other verses, for example, when we ask,
"Who are the people referred to as the
pious?"
Hm.
What is piety (taqwa)? The Qur'an
explains it in Surah Al-Baqarah twice.
Even at the beginning of Surah
Al-Baqarah, when Allah says, "A
guidance for the pious," Allah explains
, "those who believe in the unseen,"
and so on. Likewise, when Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala explains the true
meaning of righteousness (al-birr).
Allah mentions the criteria: "Laisal
birra wujuhakum." Until Allah closes
the verse with, "They are the pious."
Likewise in Surah Ali 'Imran. Who? And
so on. So if we interpret taqwa or the
pious without referring to the Qur'an,
the interpretation ends up being
confused.
Hm.
We usually interpret taqwa as someone
who performs commands and avoids
prohibitions.
Let's interpret it according to the
Qur'an's explanation so it is more
detailed, so people understand the
intent of the Qur'an. Likewise, the
words for denial or disbelief (kufr) in
the Qur'an are used for those who have
known the truth and then denied it.
Hm.
Likewise, faith (iman) is explained in
the Qur'an; what is the meaning of
faith? Not just believing, not just
being convinced, but belief and
conviction accompanied by what? By.
Actions that are in accordance with
their convictions. Like Allah's word: "
The believers are only those who have
believed in Allah and His Messenger and
then have not doubted but strive with
their properties and their lives in the
cause of Allah." Likewise, through
Allah's call, "O you who have believed.
" As in Surah Al-Hujurat, every time
Allah calls those who believe, Allah
explains the guidance and His commands,
which are the criteria for those who
believe. But if we go outside the
Qur'an, interpret the Qur'an separately
from what? The verses that explain
faith, it eventually creates an
understanding that is truly imperfect.
So, Mr. Yahya, the Qur'an or revelation
is the highest standard of values. When
we face problems, as the Messenger
commanded, we return to the Qur'an.
Then we return to His Messenger;
naturally, we examine the narrations
that come from the Messenger regarding
those issues. And we do not interpret
the Sunnah separately from the Qur'an,
but keep it integrated within the
Qur'an. Whatever is in harmony, in line
, and in rhythm, we accept; what is not
, we reject because we are certain the
Prophet could never oppose the Quran.
Now, reason is a tool Allah has given
us to understand the truth explained by
Allah. Just as the eye sees once it
receives light, it will not see in
darkness. So, the existence of this
revelation is vital, and it is what? It
is Allah's proof in the hereafter later
on. And humans could argue to Allah, "
You never gave us any guidance or
warnings at all."
Therefore, the speech of those with
insight belongs to Allah.
If he believes, he is among those with
insight for Allah. But if he acts
insolently before the Quran. Even
arrogantly he says, "Those who claim
the occurrence of environmental damage
is due to what? Due to
human behavior.
Human behavior. He says this is a
stupid view that shows no understanding
.
Innalillahi." And he says that as a
liberal Muslim, in his view, we hold
the position—according to him—that
if there are irrational verses of the
Quran they are all temporary in nature.
When needed, we use them; when not
needed, we abandon them. So he assumes
he is someone, yes, who judges the
Quran, who judges Allah. Just as easily
as he calls humans stupid, he assumes
his God is the same.
Hm.
This is truly a person blinded by his
love for the world; he is willing to
say to those who do not like Allah's
verses and His guidance at all, "We
will be tolerant with you." What fits
from the Quranic verses, we hold onto.
What is disadvantageous, we cast aside.
It is truly a great catastrophe for
Nahdlatul Ulama, which is an
organization founded by noble fighters.
It turns out there are people like this
. Waliyadubillah (May Allah protect us)
. May Allah save the Ummah from people
like this. And if he does not change at
all and repent to Allah, we pray to
Allah to show His power and His truth
to all mankind over the arrogance of
such a person. And I see, wali
iyadubillah, this person seems
difficult to receive guidance
because he is arrogant and his attitude
resembles that of Iblis. who spoke
before Allah even though he knew Allah
was his Creator. When asked, "Why do
you refuse to prostrate before Adam?"
He said, "I am better than him.
You created me from fire and You
created him from clay." If Adam and Eve
sinned, their sin was before their weak
desires, and once they realized, they
repented. But if one is brave enough to
commit the sin of arrogance against
their Lord, then such a person cannot
be held to or trusted. I intentionally
act or speak firmly on this matter to
remind the Ummah that this is not a
game. Speaking as if before Allah is
not a game.
If you want to be a liberal, go ahead.
But saying "liberal Muslim" does not
exist. A Muslim is someone who is
obedient, submissive, surrenders to
Allah, and accepts what comes from
Allah. But a liberal person lives
freely in their own way. They follow
whatever suits their desires, abandon
what doesn't, and easily view others as
stupid for not being like them.
May Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala show His
power and a lesson to those who are
defiant and arrogant. May Allah protect
us from this. Alright, this next one is
from Mr. Bambang in Jakarta. As-salamu
alaykum.
Wa alaykumu s-salam.
Ustaz, a friend apostatized after
watching a YouTube video that says
Muslims consider Jesus to be a Muslim
because he was circumcised and did not
eat pork. Whereas that pastor said
Jesus was also baptized in the Jordan
River. Please share your response,
Ustaz.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. Our Lord, increase
us in knowledge and join us with the
righteous. People can just speak as
they please. They speak whatever they
like. Just as many among Muslims speak
far from the guidance of Allah.
Fantasizing. And then also making grand
promises. Yes, that people don't need
to do good deeds. As long as people
love the Messenger and hold the
Prophet's Birthday celebration, the
Messenger will intercede for them.
Likewise, those who claim to be
followers of Jesus or followers of the
Messiah, peace be upon him. Some of
them say, "Whatever evil, deeds, or
sins we commit, as long as we believe,
Jesus is our savior, Jesus will save us
." There is a similarity between those
people and the Muslims who feel they
don't need to do good deeds, even if
they commit evil, engage in corruption,
or perform immoral acts, as long as
they love the Prophet and celebrate his
birthday, they will be saved. These are
all just empty wishes. If religious
guidance is like this, then human life
will experience ruin. But Allah firmly
states, "As for him whose scales are
heavy [with good deeds], he will be in
a pleasant life." Those whose scales of
deeds are heavy with faith and
righteous actions will live a life full
of satisfaction. But on the contrary, "
And as for him whose scales are light,
his refuge will be Hawiyah." Those
whose scales are empty, filled with
evil, and far from righteous deeds,
their place of return is Hawiyah. "And
what will make you know what it is?" Do
you know what is called Hawiyah? "A
blazing fire." A raging fire of immense
heat. This is Allah's explanation. So
whoever does an atom's weight of good
will see it, and whoever does an atom's
weight of evil will see it. Allah also
confirms that those who will be saved
in the hereafter are those who believe
and do righteous deeds. "Indeed, those
who have believed and done righteous
deeds...""...they are the best of
creatures."
While conversely, "Indeed, they who
disbelieved among the People of the
Scripture and the polytheists will be
in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally
therein. Those are the worst of
creatures." So the best of humans
according to Allah are those who
believe and do righteous deeds, and the
worst of humans are those who deny
Allah their Creator and associate
partners with Him, which is clearly
stated in the Quran. So, that pastor
who said that Jesus is considered by
Muslims to be a Muslim because he was
circumcised and did not eat pork. Then
he said, "Jesus was baptized in the
Jordan River." We want to know, where
is the data from? Hmm.
Authentic data, that is. We ask, don't
you believe that before Jesus, there
were prophets and messengers sent by
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala? Then where
do these oddities, deviations, and
irregularities come from? How could
Jesus become the Son of God? Whereas we
know that beforehand, there were
prophets, a chain of prophethood. Yes.
Then Jesus as the Son of God, and
afterwards it jumps to our Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam as
a prophet and messenger again.
What is the basis for this? In Islam,
faith explains to us that Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala is the Creator, He
is also the Sustainer, the One who
controls, and He is also the One who
will eventually cause us to pass away
and end our worldly life. Then Allah
will resurrect us again. In the
Trimurti belief, what do they believe?
Hindus believe that the creator is who?
Brahma. The sustainer is Vishnu. While
Shiva is the destroyer, tasked with
destroying, let's say, a society, a
people, or a region because of the sins
committed by humans. In Islam, it is
not like that. Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala explains clearly that the entire
universe, the heavens, and the earth
are the creation of Allah; He maintains
and regulates them. Angels will not do
anything without the permission of
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So, angels
are not minor deities. Angels are
servants who obey Allah and carry out
Allah's commands. Even a single
raindrop does not fall except by
Allah's permission. Angels will not
descend to carry out something except
by the command of Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. But among those who believe
that God is divided into three persons.
First, the Father in heaven, then the
Son who descended to earth on the
grounds of redeeming the sins of
humanity. Then the Holy Spirit. In
Islam, it is clear that the Holy Spirit
is a holy angel. Um
who was assigned by Allah to support
the Messiah and also support Maryam
alaihialatu wasalam, who brought the
good news that she would give birth to
a child and provided support to her
when the Messiah was still a child to
answer those who accused her of what?
As a woman who committed a shameful act
. The Quran clears her name. So if they
say as they please that Jesus is what?
Is someone who was also baptized. I ask
, who baptized him? Then if we open the
Gospel that exists today, there is not
a single indication stating what? That
Jesus is the Son of God.
So if we talk about this only based on
claims without evidence, without proof,
then that is something incorrect. We
ask, why is the Gospel divided into
four? If it is indeed a holy book
received by the Messiah alaihialatu
wasalam, it should be one book. But why
are the versions different?
Isn't that extremely strange? This is a
very strange thing. Therefore, we
invite our brothers and sisters of the
Christian faith, whether Catholic,
Protestant, or others. Let us seek the
truth for our own salvation. In Islam,
we are not taught or commanded to force
people to believe, but we are invited
to think. And Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
values those who seek the truth. Not
those who follow traditions and their
own desires. But let us open ourselves
to listen to the truth that comes from
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala in His holy
book. Read Surah Al-Imran, which
explains Maryam and her mother who
vowed themselves to Allah. Then the
birth of Jesus from a noble, holy woman
, and how the Messiah, in his life's
journey, invited humans to worship
Allah and not associate anything with
Him. And Jesus, or the Messiah, he also
worshipped Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And uniquely, from the time of Prophet
Noah until the last prophet, all
invited people to worship Allah and not
associate anything with Him. Now, if
someone apostatizes because they
listened to the statement from this
pastor, that is their choice. If they
can accept lies as what? As their
consumption, then this kind of person
is someone who does not deserve to be
respected at all. Therefore, you can
ask GPT about the truth of your words.
GPT, which is not a creature created
directly by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
although produced and generated by
humans created by Allah, turns out to
be able to testify honestly and
correctly. But these pastors, most of
them live...Live from where? From their
congregations. If their congregations
did not support them at all, where
would they live from?
The same applies to scholars who live
from their congregations. Sometimes, to
please their congregations, they betray
Allah and His Messenger. Instead of
conveying the truth, they actually
bully and lie to their congregations so
that the congregations remain loyal to
them. Whereas those who convey the
mission of the prophets and their
successors are those who convey Allah's
mandate without expecting any reward
from them. Say: "I ask of you no reward
for this, it is but a reminder for all
the worlds." Thus, brothers and sisters
who are blessed by Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. So, we hear about various cases
like this, we do not need to be
surprised. People who want to, let's
say, accept these blind doctrines,
please go ahead. But the person who
seeks the truth, who expects the
pleasure of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
they will not waver at all. Even when
faced with various kinds of doubts, a
heart that believes in Allah based on
truth will never doubt, even if they
are alone. Even if they are all alone,
they will not be shaken by the doubts
that circulate and spread. Because what
they yearn for is not this world, but
the true truth. Therefore, let us
purify our intentions, fully expecting
the pleasure of Allah. Seeking the
truth without arrogance, without
fanaticism, God willing, we will find
the true truth. As an example for those
who ask or for what? For the pastor
mentioned earlier or for those who
apostatized, let us shift, please read
Jeffrey Lang's book titled "Struggling
to Surrender." He is a professor
of mathematics,
mathematics at the University of Kansas
. You can read about his experience of
entering Islam. And many others,
including Prof. Maurice Bucaille.
who conducted research on the mummy of
Pharaoh, discovered factual truths, and
also performed comparative studies
among the existing holy scriptures.
Hopefully, this becomes what? It
becomes a lesson for us all. And in our
preaching here at Rasil, we do not
indoctrinate people at all. Revelation
is not doctrine.
Yes.
Revelation is light that comes from
Allah, our Creator.
Revelation is a light that comes from
Allah, not a doctrine. Doctrine
originates from humans. We do not
invite people to accept blind doctrine,
but rather invite them to enter the
light of Allah, His guidance, and His
path. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
guide us to live a better life. Keeping
our steps on the path that Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is pleased with.
Gathering us with His messenger, his
family, and his noble companions, and
may Allah save us from the torment and
punishment in the hereafter.
