In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. May the peace,
mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon
you. O Allah, send prayers upon our
master Muhammad and the family of our
master Muhammad.
Yes, as always, Radio Silaturahim and
Rasil TV, along with our network
friends in Batam, Semarang, Sukabumi,
Meranggen, where else? In Pontianak, in
Banyuwangi,
and God willing, in Medan.
In Medan, for Syawal, right? As usual,
we are presenting the Sirah Nabawiyah
program with Ustaz Salman Alfarisi.
This time, our theme is: what were the
Prophet's first steps in building the
city of Medina? Peace be upon you,
Ustaz Salman.
And peace be upon you, sir.
Alhamdulillah, your face is always
looking fresh.
Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.
The Prophet's first steps in building
the city of Medina. Peace, mercy, and
blessings of Allah be upon you. In the
name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful. All praise is due to
Allah, Lord of the worlds. And with His
help, we seek aid in the affairs of
this world and the hereafter. And may
the peace of Allah be upon our master
Muhammad, the trustworthy, and upon his
family and all his companions. To
proceed. We send our praise and
gratitude to Allah SWT as an expression
of thanks for His infinite blessings.
Blessings and peace be upon the Great
Prophet Muhammad SAW. Our role model,
our inspiration, our guide, who will
grant us intercession when nothing else
we possess is of any use. O Allah, send
blessings and peace upon our master
Muhammad and upon his family and all
his companions. Rasil TV viewers,
honored by Allah, Radio Silaturahim
listeners, honored by Allah. As usual,
I ask for your sincerity as we recite
Surah Al-Fatihah, which we gift to our
brothers and sisters who have preceded
us. May their graves be widened, turned
into gardens of Paradise, and may they
be helped in all their affairs in the
hereafter. And as we recite this
Al-Fatihah, we also pray to Allah to
grant us all good health. Perfect
health, health that makes us more
diligent in worship. Health that makes
us more humble, health that makes us
wiser, and better in living according
to the religion of Allah SWT. May Allah
also grant us sustenance that is
blessed and lawful,
and may we be protected by Allah SWT
from all temptations of the accursed
Satan and the temptations around us.
And specifically, we gift this
Al-Fatihah to the Prophet Muhammad SAW,
his companions, and his family. With
this intention. 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. You
alone we worship, and You alone 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. Amen. Viewers and listeners
honored by Allah. We want to continue
our story, which has been connected
from the very beginning, from birth
until we last stopped at the Prophet
Muhammad's (SAW) migration. Then we
tried to adopt thematic approaches.
There were parenting themes, various
themes we covered, and we even learned
about several of the Mothers of the
Believers. Later, God willing, we will
hold Sirah Nabawiyah lessons on Rasil
again, with thematic topics that
address current issues. Because it is
important that we continue this story
of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The
process leading to the migration to
Medina, the battles of the Prophet SAW,
and what life in Medina was like. We
will see all of this together later. So
, after the Prophet migrated to Medina,
he built the city of Medina. Oh, Medina
was an example, a city with Islamic
values. Yeah, like that. But it didn't
need to be called an Islamic state by
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon
him. It was never said, "This Medina is
an Islamic country" or "Islamic city."
No need for that. Now, it's very
important to people, for example, "
sharia bank," it has to be made sharia,
or "sharia hijab." So people make
things like that now, even supermarkets
are "sharia,"
even planes are "sharia." I wonder why
this is emerging. I don't know either.
What I think, there will surely be
different opinions later; that's fine.
I think what I see in the Prophetic
Biography is that the label is not so
important, but the content inside is
truly Islamic. Medina, I don't know if
anyone can find that it was called an
Islamic state, it wasn't, but the
content inside was very Islamic. Now,
this is important, like Saudi Arabia,
for instance, its emblem alone is "
Lailahaillallah Muhammad Rasulullah."
Its foundation is directly the Quran
and Hadith. But I think Saudi Arabia is
full of severe trials in carrying that
responsibility. Indonesia, the Republic
of Indonesia. But amazingly, the
contents of its Pancasila are all
meaningful to the Quran and Sunnah.
This is what I want to share. I am not
blaming Saudi Arabia, not at all. But
my point is, it’s a heavy burden to
carry, like with "sharia banks." It’s
heavy to carry, just make it—if I
were to make a bank, maybe "Salman Bank
."
I don't need to say "Salman Bank is
Islamic," no need for that. "Salman
Bank." But the contents are all Islamic
.
Yeah.
We don't need to say, don't need to
announce, "Bank, this Salman one is
Islamic." We don't need to put a label
on it. But the content is Islamic. That
must be imitated by the Muslim
community. Because when I look at the
Prophet, he didn't say "al-iqtisad
al-islami." That wasn't the way of the
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
But the Messenger of Allah, peace be
upon him, taught how to manage the
economy in an Islamic way. Because
Islamic teachings are universal. To be
used by everyone.
Now, when you add tags to it, it’s as
if it’s exclusively for Muslims only.
No. Make it universal in name, but
Islamic in content. Because the values
that are in Islam are very universal.
Ah, this is what we want to look at.
What was the first thing Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, did in
Medina? At the beginning, Mr. Krishna,
the Prophet immediately built a
secretariat. Okay. If it’s named in
Islam, it’s building a mosque. Yeah,
right. The first mosque built was named
Masjid
Quba.
Quba. The second one was named Masjid
Nabawi. Yes, these two mosques are
extraordinary. And this was the center
of operations for Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, and his companions.
Very different from people's current
understanding of mosques. A mosque must
be clean, neat, and cool. That is true.
But that doesn't mean it should be
quiet or have no activity. There are
friends who have built mosques trying
to emulate how mosques functioned
during the time of the Prophet, peace
be upon him. Now, come on, other
mosques should follow suit. Don't make
mosques exclusive. Only crowded during
grand assemblies, only crowded when the
call to prayer echoes. No. The
Prophet’s Mosque had everything in it
. Nowadays, if a Christian enters a
mosque, we make such a fuss.
H
As if the world would end just because
a Christian entered a mosque, and we
debate the laws and scriptures without
looking at the history of the Prophet,
peace be upon him. Well, there you go.
So many Christians came to look for the
Prophet in his mosque, and they weren't
chased away; that’s not how it was,
sir. They didn’t post about it on
social media or anything. There was
none of that. History proves it many
times over. Even the most famous story
is of a Bedouin who came to Medina and
urinated in the Prophet's Mosque
because he didn't understand, right?
Everyone was angry, but the Prophet let
him finish his business before speaking
to him. Now, this is the extraordinary
mosque built by the Prophet, peace be
upon him. So, everything started from
the mosque, and the mosque countered
all the activities of the Muslim
community. I am one of those who longs
for this. A central mosque in Jakarta,
large but universal and humanistically
Islamic. Ahah. That is it. No. As if it
were a territory of heaven reserved
only for Muslims. A territory that, oh,
what's it called, where you can't do
this or that—no. The mosque is a
place where people seek everything.
Someone who doesn't wear a hijab yet
should be allowed to come to the mosque
because they are looking for something.
I mean, if those not wearing a hijab
aren't allowed in the mosque, when will
they ever find what they are looking
for? That is where they search. Of
course, we can manage it when they are
there. That's why I always say a mosque
should have a reception desk. It can't
just be an open, empty space. I
actually dream that if any donors are
listening to us right now, if any
wealthy people are listening, I would
like to see a mosque in Jakarta with a
reception managed like the Fairmont
Hotel. Someone enters and is greeted, "
Welcome to the Salman Mosque.""How may
we assist you?"
Anyone is allowed. A guest says, "I am
a Christian.""I want to learn about
Islam.""Certainly, sir.""I will call
the staff.""You may wait here for 5
minutes, sir." Yes. Call the staff.
They are taken to a room. "Please,
ma'am.""This is a room for you to learn
about Islam." Bla bla bla bla. Then
another person comes to the reception.
"Yes, who are you looking for?""Sir or
Ma'am?""I am a Muslim woman, but I
don't wear a hijab yet.""I don't
understand what the hijab is, what the
boundaries are, or what it entails."
May I look for something in this mosque
? Oh, alright, sir. You may wait for
five minutes, sir, ma'am. I'll call the
person in charge to bring them to the
room. I miss a mosque like that. If any
wealthy people are listening, let's
build a mosque like that. Whatever you
want to name the mosque, please do. But
we must adopt the concept that a mosque
should be welcoming to anyone. I salute
, I don't know, this, right? I salute
Turkey. I think so. They make their
mosques tourist destinations for all
people, not just for Muslims. Mr.
Krishna, I once spoke with one of their
imams; Belgians and Greeks were brought
into the mosque, even with very
revealing clothing, just covered with
what they provided there. No, they were
provided for, not scolded, not told
they were impure or anything like that.
Then, remarkably, the imam said, "Sit
down, I will tell you about this mosque
." But first, listen to a few verses of
the Quran. He recited Ar-Rahman.
Al-Quran, khalaqal insana 'allamahul
bayan. Up to several verses that made
people, what is it called? Oh, this
Greek, this Belgian, what did they
think? Especially with such a beautiful
voice. Turns out this Quran is better
than Adele's "Hello, can you hear me,"
right?
You know that too, Ustaz?
The point is, the Quran is being made
exclusive, only heard by certain people
, so others don't know how beautiful
the Quran truly is. Meanwhile, here in
Indonesia, I see that Islam is starting
to become exclusive. Even though the
verse in the Quran says, "Wama
arsalnaka illa rahmatan lil' alamin.""I
did not send you, Muhammad, except as a
mercy to all of creation"—this Islam
should be a mercy to everyone. Mosques
should be the same. Aha. This is what
the Prophet did first. Does anyone know
? We will read about it together later.
A group of polytheists from Taif came
to the Prophet in Medina and were
received by him at the Prophet's Mosque
. They sat in the Prophet's Mosque;
these were polytheists. Yes. Now, I
really wish for a mosque that is an "
open mosque," welcoming and friendly to
anyone. I really want this. I don't
know who brought these teachings of
Islam that make it exclusive, closed
off, as if we are claiming that we own
this world. Only we are allowed to do
this and that. I don't think this is
the Islam desired by the Messenger of
Allah, peace be upon him. How excellent
was the Prophet’s character toward
those who were not Muslim. How
excellent was the Prophet’s character
toward those who sinned. How excellent
was the Prophet’s character toward
those full of sins, even. If we are the
ones claiming to be the most holy,
isolating ourselves, making it seem
like we own heaven. These are not the
followers of Muhammad, Mr. Krishna.
These are the followers of Moses, peace
be upon him. The people of Jonah, peace
be upon him, the people of Noah, peace
be upon him. Noah, peace be upon him,
said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the
earth any inhabitant among the
disbelievers." The Prophet said, "They
are ignorant, Gabriel, no need to
punish them." The people of Ta'if did
not yet know who I was. Oh God, I
wonder why mosques nowadays are so
exclusive, closed off, and full of
prohibitions. No sleeping, no entering
without a hijab, no this, no that, no
this, no that. Oh, why do mosques just
focus on prohibitions? Try phrasing it
like this. "For mosque guests who wish
to sleep, we have a room in the
basement."
Hmm.
Oh God, that would be such a pleasant
mosque. I found a mosque in Ciledug
like that. "For those who want to sleep
, please use the mosque terrace."
Oh God, I finally felt relieved. Oh God
, there are actually mosques with a
bright heart. That's what I think.
Providing a service.
Yes, providing a service. A mosque
should provide a service. "It's better
if, before the Takbir, you check if
your phone is on silent."
Hmm.
That is the kind of language
where the value of Islam is evident. "
For mosque guests not wearing a hijab,
we provide more modest attire so you
may enter the mosque."
Hmm. "For guests who are not Muslim, we
provide a room for those who wish to
learn about this mosque."
Everything has a solution,
everything. It’s not that Islamic
teachings are harsh like that.
Sometimes, even small children playing
in the mosque are forbidden by people.
In fact, there should be a playgroup,
what is it called? What do people call
it nowadays? KidZania, right?
KidZania.
KidZania should be in the mosque. I
don't know if KidZania has a prototype
for those who aspire to be a muezzin
there. There are aspirations for pilots
, for this, for that; are there
aspirations to be a mosque caretaker
there? Yeah. So, the very first thing
the Prophet built was a mosque. There
are many mosques in Jakarta today. Oh
God, every 200 meters there's a mosque;
they even compete with one another. Yet
, the mosque cannot address the drug
issues among local youth. The mosque
cannot address premarital sex among the
local residents. The mosque cannot
address usury practices among the local
residents. The mosque cannot address
unhealthy divorces around the mosque.
The mosque cannot address the welfare
of the surrounding community. It seems
as if the mosque's function is only for
Takbir, prostration, bowing, and
recitations. Now, this isn't wrong, but
that is only 0.2%of the mosque's true
function. A mosque should have programs
to address poverty in the local
neighborhood, address drugs in the
local neighborhood, help local dropouts
, and solve all the problems in the
area. There are people at the mosque
having arguments; they come to the
mosque after fighting at home, and the
dispute continues just like that. So,
for any wealthy people listening to us,
I appeal to those of you with money:
come on, let’s build mosques like
this. Or if any mosque committee
members are listening right now,
let’s manage your mosques like this.
It’s not just about being tidy, clean
, or whatever. No. I am not here to
cast blame. I want to make the mosques
we build even more perfect. If someone
in the neighborhood is hungry, they go
to the mosque and get fed. That is what
a mosque should be. They shouldn't be
robbing or mugging people. Mosques
should be able to provide solutions for
all problems in their surroundings.
Especially since we have so many
mosques. But sometimes this is the case
, though not all mosques are like this.
Yet, how can we expect the mosque to
resolve all the community’s issues?
When the caretaker's salary is only
300,000, the imam's is only a million,
and the muezzin's is perhaps 500,000.
Per month.
That’s a monthly salary that gets no
attention. Now, for those who have the
funds or for the mosque committee,
let’s sit down and learn from the
Prophet’s Mosque, the Nabawi. How
exactly did the Prophet position the
mosque at the center of society? I’d
say nowadays, people manage mosques in
an almost exclusive way. Whereas to
build the city of Medina, the mosque
was the very first thing the Prophet
Muhammad SAW built. The Nabawi Mosque,
Mr. Krishna, had better management than
the State Secretariat in Jakarta.
Actually, in the mosque built by the
Prophet, war strategies were decided
there, and future expansion was
arranged there. Strategies on how to
get the youth of Medina employed were
arranged there, and training for the
intellect of the youth was organized at
the mosque. What about those who
haven't found a partner and can't seem
to find one? It was settled at the
mosque. These single people don't know
where to go. Eventually, they don't get
married, reaching 40 without a spouse.
Because they don't know where to
resolve it. It should be resolved at
the mosque. They come to the mosque, "
Sir, committee member, what do I do?
I’m 30 years old and haven't found a
partner yet.""Oh, there happens to be a
woman here who is also looking for a
partner. She is 26 years old. Why don't
you two just get married?" Ha.
It would be great if mosques were like
that, wouldn't it? Every problem should
be solved at the mosque. Of course, the
mosque must have many things. It must
have funds, connections, networks, and
everything else. I think the mosque can
do it if the Muslim community wants to.
They can. I believe they can if the
Muslim community wants to. Yes, that
was the first thing the Prophet
Muhammad SAW built in Medina. The Quba
Mosque and the Nabawi Mosque. Later
we'll talk about it, let's try to tell
the story of the mosque construction
process. But let's just talk about it
now. Well, here there is also an
exemplary model set by the Prophet when
building the Quba Mosque or the
Prophet's Mosque. Yes, the Prophet was
directly involved in the tasks usually
done by manual laborers. That is the
greatness of the Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him. Second, friends, to
build the city of Medina, after having
the secretariat, yes. The second is the
brotherhood of humanity, especially
Muslims. Right now, many of our friends
are shouting caliphate, caliphate,
caliphate, caliphate. This is
impossible to realize, no matter how
long it takes. No matter how great the
scholars are, if Muslim brotherhood
isn't built, whatever arguments we use
about a caliphate system, if
brotherhood among Muslims isn't forged,
it will never be achieved in this world
. These are my words, Salman Alfarisi.
So if you want to establish an Islamic
caliphate in this world, the first
thing we must build after the
secretariat is the brotherhood of
Muslims. If we are still fighting just
because of NU, Muhammadiyah, Wahabi,
Salafi, Ikhwanul Muslimin, PKS, or
things like Shia and Sunni, don't even
dream that this Islamic caliphate will
happen. You, I'm telling you, don't
even dream that this caliphate will
ever be established. I say this and I
repeat it one more time. If the
brotherhood among Muslims is not forged
, don't even bother dreaming. This
caliphate will exist. You can say you
have lots of funds, you can say
whatever, it's not there. It's
impossible. You want to say you control
what? It's impossible. Muslim
brotherhood is the most important thing
. Then the caliphate. In essence, when
this Muslim brotherhood is forged well,
we don't even need to call it an
Islamic Republic of Indonesia to say
that Indonesia is a caliphate system.
That brotherhood is already enough. Yes
, I don't know why lately the people
have been constantly categorized. I
don't know, Mr. Krishna. It seems that
since the reform era in Indonesia,
there are so many boxes for Indonesian
Muslims. Back then we only knew NU and
Muhammadiyah. Now, oh my God, everyone
is coming to Indonesia and everyone
feels that only they can enter heaven.
And those who came recently all
consider themselves the most correct,
that their preaching struggle is the
only true one. I am amazed, why, please
stop, friends who struggle like that. I
think that offending the hearts of
Muslims will derail all programs. Uh,
embrace all these Muslims without
exception. Even the misguided ones,
embrace them. Don't kick them away. I
don't like people at all who kick
others away because they are misguided.
Are they really misguided from our
perspective? It could be that people
who seem misguided in our eyes are
actually calling upon Allah more often
than we are. Someone we consider astray
, perhaps not wearing a hijab or
dressing provocatively, might truly be
whispering in their heart, "O Allah, my
sins are truly many, O Allah.""I am
actually ashamed to live like this, O
Allah.""But I am confused, O Allah,
what am I to do? It is better than
those in robes and turbans who feel
they own heaven, as if they have been
promised so by Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala." Learn that we are all brothers
and sisters. This is what the Prophet
built. The Prophet said, "O Ansar, you
are brothers." Actually, the conflict
between the Ansar and the Muhajirun was
extraordinary. Extraordinary. But the
Prophet added the seasoning of
brotherhood so that the conflict became
something positive, sir. Like chili,
you just need to add tomatoes, onions,
and shrimp paste. So, the conflicts now
within the body of the Muslim community
are about brotherhood. Someone asked me
, "Mr. Krishna, Salman, what is the
ruling if the Governor of Jakarta is a
non-Muslim?" I said, that is not the
right question. It is not about what
the ruling is if the governor is not of
the Islamic faith. That is not right.
The question is, what are Muslims
preparing so that the DKI Governor is a
Muslim? That is the question. Not what
the ruling is. As for the ruling, there
is no need to ask, it is clear in the
Qur'an. Now, what is being prepared by
the Muslims to ensure this DKI governor
is a Muslim? That is what we must ask.
Instead of asking about the ruling, ask
what we are preparing and who the
competitors are. But I want to say to
all Muslims listening to me in Jakarta,
if many Muslim candidates run, I would
say to the current incumbent that they
will win without much resistance.
Brothers. Now, if we are divided, Mr.
Krishna, this candidate runs, that one
runs. I also say to all Muslims who
want to step forward, come on, gather
together. Who among you is the most fit
to run? Only one should run. If two run
, we have already lost. Because it
seems we cannot be brothers, we cannot
unite. The Muslim community must unite.
Unite for peace, not unite to destroy.
Come on. Now, brotherhood. Again,
brotherhood. So do not ask about the
ruling on a non-Muslim governor or
president; that is not the point. What
matters is what you are doing. What
must we do? The answer is only through
brotherhood, ukhuwah islamiah. First,
all Muslims must agree to nominate one
good candidate. For example, it must be
someone good. Do not, out of
desperation between one Muslim and
another, end up nominating just anyone.
That is not allowed. We must share who
we should put forward. And it must be
through Muslim brotherhood. Brotherhood
, everyone united. No more of this is
Muhammadiyah, this is NU, this is this,
or that. No. But it really is
brotherhood, isn't it? Yes, if anyone
asks me, I am often asked what the
ruling is regarding our governor not
being a Muslim? That's not it. That’s
not important to ask. Uh, but what I
say is, what are we preparing to, uh,
to make the governor of Jakarta a
Muslim? Uh, let's return to our theme.
We do not, I am not a political expert,
I am not. We are just talking about the
Sirah Nabawiyah. What did we say
earlier? That after the secretariat or
the mosque was built by the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, uh
, built, what did the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam do? The
Prophet brought the Muslim community
together in brotherhood. I think these
themes of Islamic brotherhood have been
brought up several times. But we will
repeat them often, yes. The theme of
Islamic brotherhood is repeated because
, uh, I personally always ask Allah, "O
Allah, do not take my life before NU,
Muhammadiyah, Salafi, Wahhabi, Shia,
HTI, PKS, Iman, Muslim Brotherhood,
Jamaah Tabligh, all pray in one mosque.
"
Hmm.
If I die before that happens, I will
have such regrets.
But when it happens, one prays with
hands on the chest, one on the stomach,
one below the navel, one with arms at
the side, one wearing a turban, one
with trousers above the ankles, one
with a beard, all in one mosque. Just
imagine.
Yes. Ah, how beautiful Islam is. Oh God
, dear. But who knows when that will
happen.
But I am sure Allah will provide a way
for us. Amen. Amen. Amen.
I am sure I am not the only one who
thinks this way. I am sure there are
scholars who think this way. Many
already do. I am sure Husein Al-Attas,
Habib Husein Al-Attas, shares the same
thoughts. We are all one mosque, one
movement. Regarding how they worship,
like this, how they supplicate, like
that, whatever it may be. This is
between them and Allah. But when it
comes to the progress of the Ummah,
that is our shared responsibility. This
is it, you see, the brotherhood we are
building is not NU brotherhood, not
Muhammadiyah brotherhood, or not
Wahhabi brotherhood. Not Shia
brotherhood, not HTI brotherhood, none
of that. It is Islamic brotherhood, or
if necessary, we should build human
brotherhood as well. But for some
reason, people, there are people, sir,
who don't like me talking like this. I
am often protested when I speak like
this. "You can't, Ustaz.""They are
infidels, Ustaz.""You are wrong, Ustaz,
" they say fiercely. I say, "Hey, if
you want to be fierce, I'm a person
from Medan, I can be fiercer." I say, "
Take it easy." I say, I get protested
like that, you know. What I mean is,
what is so hard about accepting that?
Mr. Krishna, my teacher once asked me
this, "Salman, do you have five or six
siblings?" Mr. Krishna, are there five
or six siblings, or is it Salman who
has six or five? Six siblings born from
the same father and mother. It turns
out, Mr. Krishna, the fourth child was
born with disabilities.
No arms, no legs.
Mute.
Could you say that he is not your
brother, Mr. Krishna?
You can't.
You can't, right? He is still your
brother. Do we call him a stepbrother?
No, right? No. He remains your
biological brother.
So, what is your duty as a healthy,
able-bodied brother? To cast him away
to a nursing home or an orphanage.
You can't.
You can't. What then? Guide him,
support him until the very end. This
blood brotherhood is still subordinate
to brotherhood in faith. Now, that's
where Mr. Krishna—Mr. Krishna is
misguided. Mr. Krishna is misguided,
for instance, while I assume I am not.
My duty is not to hate Mr. Krishna. "
You are an infidel, Krishna, you're
going to hell." That is not the way,
Mr. Krishna.
I keep talking to Mr. Krishna, eating
with him until Mr. Krishna likes me.
Only then do I start, "Mr. Krishna,
your way of praying is very beautiful."
"May I learn from you, Mr. Krishna?"
Yes, and keep at it; that is what it
means to guide. So, to anyone preaching
by calling others infidels from the
pulpit, please refer back to the verses
of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Refer
back to the hadiths of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Refer back to the ways the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
preached. Look at this brotherhood that
was built by the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. In fact, we
have already discussed this on Rasil.
But that's okay, I will repeat it even
400 times, this Islamic brotherhood
built by the Prophet. Then the third
one is brotherhood among all humans,
which will come after this third point.
So, let's start with Islamic
brotherhood; come on, let us all hold
hands. We must hold hands, especially
in solving the problems of DKI, we must
hold hands. We cannot walk alone. In
building Indonesia, we must also hold
hands. Especially for a nation as large
as Indonesia. Don't say that only we
Muslims are capable of building this
nation. No. We must also invite our
non-Muslim brothers to join us in
building this nation properly. I think
every intelligent scholar would surely
agree with this. We must invite
everyone to build this nation. We
cannot do it alone, my friend. We live
under the same roof. Come on, let's not
act like this towards each other, okay?
Anything not good, let us resolve it
properly. Anything not right, let us
resolve it properly. But sometimes, it
is like farming, there are pests that
you must spray, Mr. Krishna. Do you
understand what I mean? There are pests
that you must spray. There are pests
that you must set traps for so that
they are, well, you know. So, not all
pests can be dealt with through polite
lectures. There are some pests that we
must deal with, well, certainly in an
Islamic way too. Now, let's continue. I
previously mentioned that the third one
is what, exactly? Ukhuwah, right, Mr.
Krishna? Just the third one. The
Prophet established what is called
Ukhuwah Insaniah, Mr. Krishna. As
Ramadan Al-Buti says, it was then that
the Prophet set up the rules for
coexistence. With, um, with those who
are not Muslim in Medina. I listened to
a lecture aired on Rasil yesterday, a
lecture by Mr. Tawfiq Ramadan Al-Buti.
Sheikh Tawfiq Ramadan Al-Buti, the son
of our collective teacher. Certainly,
Tawfiq Ramadan Al-Buti is our
collective teacher as well. I had
actually already heard the lecture
directly from him, from Sheikh Muhammad
Said Ramadan Al-Buti. He said what? We
in Syria have lived side by side for
over 1,000 years, Muslims and
non-Muslims. Wait, I mean, Muslims and
non-Muslims. Among the non-Muslims,
there are Catholics, Orthodox, Zionists
, and all sorts. And among the Muslims,
there are Sunnis, Shias, Alawites, and
maybe Ibadis or whatever they are
called. But we never fought, said
Ramadan Al-Buti. Now, we must protect
this forever. But it turns out, after
that lecture, some people were unhappy
about it. Now, Syria is in a sorry
state just because of, um, political
interests. And even now, people still
insist that it is a matter of religious
ideological interests. Oh God, how
easily we are deceived by being told
it's about religious ideological
interests. Sunnis and Shias in Syria
have lived side by side for a long time
, and the war only started recently.
Even then, it was because of religious
interests, political interests, and the
interests of those who want money,
power, and so on. We are not discussing
Syria; that was already discussed by
Tawfiq Ramadan Al-Buti two Fridays
before this one. So, the Prophet also
built brotherhood among all of humanity
, Mr. Krishna. It fits well with what
we have established in Indonesia, the
1945 Constitution that governs how we
live together in this republic properly
and correctly. Oh, yes. If there is
anything wrong with this constitution,
it can be amended, and so on. That's up
to those of you who understand it. What
I want to say clearly is that we must
not be selfish. Whether it's Muslims
with other Muslims, or Muslims towards
those who are not Muslim. So, there you
go. We must remain good people by doing
good deeds. But if there is any
wrongdoing, we should resolve it in a
good way. That’s it. What is the
third foundation? That the Prophet
governed the life among all of humanity
. That is what is known as the Charter
of Medina, Mr. Krishna. Yes, there are
about 14 points in the Charter of
Medina created by the Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him. First, let's take a
look. First, the Muslims from among the
Quraysh and Yathrib, and those who
follow and strive with them, are one
community. Hey, look at this. The first
point of the Medina Charter is that
Muslims are one single Islam. Hey,
that’s like our tagline, Rasil.
Subhanallah.
Subhanallah. See, our tagline is the
first point of the Medina Charter. Wow,
we need to bring this to the surface
again, Mr. Krisna. Rasil's tagline is
the first point of the Medina Charter.
H
Yes, I'll repeat it. Rasil's tagline is
the first point of the Medina Charter.
That's right.
In accordance with the Sunnah of the
Prophet and his companions. Of course,
all Muslims must be like that. The
Muslims from among the Quraysh and
Yathrib, and also those who follow and
strive with them, are one single
community. Done. Already. That's the
first one. I will read this. Because I
don't have it memorized. Second, all
Muslims, even if they are from
different tribes, must pay blood money
and redeem their captives in a fair and
equitable manner among the believers.
Well, the meaning is, if there is a
murder among the Muslim community, or
injustice among Muslims, it must be
resolved legally and properly. If a
ransom needs to be paid, it must be
paid. Ah, and likewise with non-Muslims
, if there are any wrongs, they must
also be resolved fairly, you know. In a
fair and just manner. So, the second
point is justice for all the people of
Indonesia. Wait, it's in Indonesia,
right?
Pancasila.
Pancasila, it's there, right? That's
perfect. Earlier, the first point we
had is also in Pancasila, right, the
Unity...
Oneness.
No, what is the third term in our
Pancasila?
Unity of Indonesia.
Yes. One single Islam. Unity. It is
impossible for our Prophet, peace be
upon him, to encourage this community
to split apart. There is no such term.
That is unity. Then justice, yes.
But justice that is proper and fair.
Social justice.
For all of Indonesia.
For all...no, not that, the fair and
civilized one. What?
Humanity.
Just and civilized humanity. See,
that's why Indonesians don't memorize
Pancasila. We are in danger here. Rasil
needs to repeat this. Pancasila one,
Belief in the One Supreme God. Two,
just and civilized humanity. See, it's
in the Medina Charter, my friend.
So I think those who say that Indonesia
must be Islamized...What is it that
needs to be Islamized? It just needs to
be perfected. Yes. Let’s perfect it
together. Why talk about Islamizing it?
I think this is it, just and civilized
humanity. Right, our cameraman here
knows it. What is your name, kid?
Suhadi.
Suhadi, you're excellent. That’s a
real Medan name. Ah.
These Medan people are truly just as
great, aren't they?
Just and civilized humanity.
Ah, that’s the brilliance of Mr.
Krishna. I was once advised by Mr. Tri
Trisno like this, "Salman, you're an
ustaz, if you speak directly with Mr.
Tri Trisno and some ustaz says
Indonesia is not Islamic, I get angry,
Salman," said Mr. Trisno. "Look at '
just and civilized humanity', my dear."
That’s how Mr. Krisno speaks, that is
Islam, my dear. Mr. Trisutrisno, when
he speaks to me, says that is Islam, my
dear. Spread this, my dear, to the
mosques, my dear. The world only
mentions human rights, my dear. Right.
But Indonesia has 'just humanity', you
see. Just and civilized humanity. So,
LGBT is not civilized; that is not
humanity. Well, that's how it is.
Corruption is not civilized and not
just. That is not humanity. Oh, I was
once mentored by Mr. Trisno on
Pancasila. H. Wow, cool. Eh, really,
really cool. I haven't met Mr. Trisno
for a long time because we only met on
a trip when we both went for, what do
you call it, Umrah to Turkey, right?
Meeting him makes me feel a bit
intimidated, he said. Now, that’s it.
But that is extraordinary, right? That
was it, the humanity that is within.
Now, this is the second principle, uh,
the second point of the Medina Charter,
it has the same content, right? That is
virtuous and just. Just try it. So
don't say Islam isn't Indonesia, but
let's perfect it. If that fits, then
that's it. Third, truly the believers
do not leave or neglect anyone bearing
debt among them so they may provide
money. E, like this. This third point,
my friend. It seems this is rarely
practiced by people, right? Second
point. Third. Eh, what is this third
one? Muslims are not allowed to let
their Muslim brothers be in debt,
especially debt for ransom. Now,
that’s it, right? If I may say so.
What does this third point teach us,
Mr. Krishna? Care. Let us care, we
fellow Muslims must care. Care and
share. Now, that’s it, right? Care
and share. Don't be full by yourself.
Don't be luxurious by yourself. Now,
you must care. And you don't need to
announce that you care. Sometimes, I
don't know why now people announce it
on banners. But poverty never ends.
That is what I don't like. Everywhere
there are 'care' banners, but poverty
never finishes. If only having many
banners meant poverty would end. Okay,
that’s cool. Care. I invite all Rasil
listeners. Care. Especially, hi Rasil
listeners. Ah, I want to speak to Rasil
listeners and Rasil viewers. E, e,
viewers and listeners already know. I
am a person from Medan, I'm not angry
even if my intonation is high. That’s
just how it naturally is. So don't be
afraid, I'm not angry. Mr. Krisna can
see me here, right? The lack of concern
from the Muslim community that really
pains me, Mr. Krishna, is what I
mentioned earlier. A luxurious mosque,
wealthy people all around it, yet the
Imam hasn't changed his koko shirt in
four years, and nobody cares. A
luxurious mosque surrounded by wealthy
people, but when we get close to the
muezzin, he smells. No one cares about
the people who look after this mosque.
I want to tell everyone listening to us
right now: raise the Imam's salary,
raise the muezzin's salary. Thirdly,
there's another group here in Indonesia
that gets very low pay. Qur'an school
teachers. Raise it. We are the ones who
can raise it, not others. It's not
anyone else's job. Imagine our prayer
Imam has a beautiful, melodic voice. As
he recites the Qur'an melodiously, he's
thinking, "My child's diapers have been
gone for three days." Ah, we don't care
. Oh, go visit the Imams of our mosques
right now. Look at their living
conditions, where are they staying?
Don't let it be that we have luxury
homes and the mosque is luxurious, but
...The mosque Imam is renting a tiny
shack. Ah, this is what's happening.
Sigh. The mosque is luxurious, and the
people around the mosque are wealthy.
The muezzin doesn't even have a home,
he's renting, often fighting with his
wife because there's no money. No one
cares. But I believe Rasil listeners
are willing to do this. Go visit them
now, see where they live. If it's not
good, tell him, "Please give me your
bank account number, Imam." Uh, not "
Mr. Imam," I meant the mosque Imam. Ask
for his account number and just give
him 50,000 rupiah. He would be so happy
. It doesn't have to be a lot. If there
are 20 people in a neighborhood, 50,000
each, that's 2 million, then go visit
the muezzin too. He's the one who does
the Adhan, the Adhan every single day.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, with a
melodic voice. Hayya alas-salah. But in
his mind, "Oh God, my wife hasn't eaten
yet. Oh God, is there anyone moved to
give me charity today, oh God?" Today.
"Oh God," he says, sounding melodic and
slightly whimpering. The congregation
thinks he's just really mindful of God
during the Adhan, not that his wife and
children haven't eaten. This is a fact.
I'm talking about the Greater Jakarta
area. Let alone outside of Jakarta,
it's even worse. Well. Come on. Care.
This is the third point, right? Care
about the Qur'an teachers 'salaries,
Mr. Krishna, how much is it? 350,000.
Those Qur'an teachers teach our
children to read the Qur'an. Yesterday,
I listened to a lecture by Habib Novel
bin Idrus at the Bintaro Jaya Grand
Mosque. It was incredible, I thought,
what was that excerpt? Imam Abu Hanifah
called a Qur'an teacher to teach his
child how to read the Qur'an. The
teacher was summoned. "Imam. Forgive me
, isn't it more appropriate for the
Imam to teach his own child instead of
me?""No. For my child, I'd rather have
you teach him." The Imam said, "Very
well, Imam Abu Hanifah." The first
thing I will teach is how to recite
Al-Fatihah. Perhaps it will take 3
months. "Understood.""That's fine, 3
months," he said. After 3 months, Mr.
Krishna had been taught well, and when
Imam Abu Hanifah heard his son recite
Al-Fatihah, it was remarkably excellent
. MasyaAllah. After that, Imam Abu
Hanifah took an envelope. He wrote from
me, Imam Abu Hanifah, "Thank you for
teaching my son, here is your reward,
how much was it, Mr. Krishna?""The
reward was 1,000 dirhams."
For 3 months. The teacher said, "That
is too much, Imam, if I had money, I
would have given it to you instead." He
said 1,000 dirhams; viewers can check
what 1 dirham is worth today. At the
very least, it's 61,000. Let's just say
60,000, so 1,000 times 60,000 is how
much, sir? 6 million. That means
teaching Al-Fatihah for 3 months cost 2
million per month. That is because Imam
Abu Hanifah cared. If it were us, the
ustadz gets 100,000 a month and people
still haggle, "Just make it 50,000,
Ustadz.""You shouldn't sell religion,
Ustadz.""That's what they say too." Oh,
I’ll flick your nose later. Ah, don't
be indifferent. That is the care we
need right now. Come on, let’s take a
look. I invite all listeners and
viewers to look at the religious
fighters in your respective
surroundings. If you have money, don't
just keep it all in your savings
account. No need to hoard billions. You
can't take it with you when you die. I
also wonder why people hoard so much
money. You won't take it to the grave,
my friend. It will only torture you
later, so use it for social causes. But
how many children do you have? You have
three. Look after your children's
future. You've sent them to UI, to UGM,
to ITB, for example. Their future is
secure, and you still have wealth left.
Use it for social welfare. Yes, like
that. This care is the essence of our
Medina Charter. Yes, please pay
attention to that, my friends, ladies
and gentlemen, viewers and listeners of
Rasil. The fourth point is that truly,
believing and pious people must oppose
those who exceed the limits or commit
great crimes in the form of oppression,
sin, hostility, or corruption among the
believers themselves, even if it is one
of their own children. Now, this is the
fourth point. See, if there is someone
committing oppression that exceeds the
limits, we must oppose them. So I, how
do I say it, we have a scholar in
Indonesia named Habib Rizieq Shihab
whose preaching style truly follows "
Whoever sees evil, let him change it
with his hand." Some people view that
as negative. For me, don't be too quick
to judge it as negative. Don't, don't,
don't be too quick to be negative. The
point here is that when there is
tyranny that goes beyond limits,
excessive tyranny, tyranny that is
ignored by those who are not brave, yes
, we need someone brave enough to
eradicate that tyranny in that way so
that people's eyes are opened, right?
So if someone judges it negatively, try
to judge it with a calm heart first.
Why could it happen? Eh, you can just
meet him. I don't think meeting Habib
Rizq is that difficult. It's not like
meeting the President. No need for
protocols. Well, like that. I mean,
don't hate him yet, okay? Ask him
properly first. Where does he live, in
what area?
Petamburan, right. Well, you can ask
him first. Don't hate him yet. Hating
is not good, in my opinion. Don't hate
yet. Because tyranny that crosses the
line must be opposed. Well, yes. We
must oppose it. Tyranny that crosses
the line must be opposed by us. Even if
the perpetrator is, for example, a
Habib, it could be that the tyranny
comes from a Habib, a Kiai, an Ustadz,
or a public official. Even then, this
excessive tyranny must be opposed by us
. Of course, people will have different
ways of opposing it. Yes, I think Habib
Husein Alttas, with his gentle language
, delivers his da'wah and so on. We
have here Kiai Abul Hidayat Sairazi
with his style, Yaksallah Mansur with
his style, others with their styles,
and Habib Rizq Syihab with his own
style. Well, we complement each other,
I think. So don't be too quick to
assume it's negative. I don't think
it's necessary to immediately have a
negative reaction. Because when we see
tyranny that crosses the line, we must
indeed oppose it. Eh, but I am not an
expert in public policy. I am not much
of an expert. I just want to say don't
be too quick to judge negatively. Like
that. So the fourth point is that
tyranny must be opposed. Eh, of course,
the way to oppose it must be discussed
properly. So that we don't go about
opposing it the wrong way. The fifth
point, there are 14 points. Hopefully,
eh, how many, maybe we won't finish
today, maybe Mr. Kiris we can read this
. A believer must not kill another
believer. A believer
must not
must not kill another believer. So what
is happening everywhere is a violation.
It's clear, so I'll repeat it again. A
believer must not kill another believer
, let alone to defend disbelievers.
This is what's happening, isn't it? For
the sake of defending the interests of
disbelievers, believers are willing to
kill each other. That is what is
happening now. Eh, and a believer must
not help disbelievers to attack other
believers. Oh, this is being violated.
This fifth point, Sir. This fifth point
is being violated by Muslims. I repeat,
yes. A believer must not kill a
believer, let alone to defend a
disbeliever. A believer must not help a
disbeliever to attack fellow believers.
This has happened already. I only hope
that what is happening in the Middle
East will end, yes. And I hope this is
not brought into Indonesia, Mr. Krishna
.
Correct.
Don't bring it into Indonesia, okay.
That was the fifth one, indeed. The
sixth one. Truly. Wow, the sixth point,
Mr. Krishna, look. Indeed, the word
peace for believers is non-negotiable.
A believer, when making peace, must
make it universally. Wow, not just
peace for Muhammadiyah people, Mr.
Krishna. Peace, but only among the
Wahhabis. Peace, but only for the Shias
. Peace, but only for HTI. Peace, but
only for the NU. That is wrong. Peace
is for everyone, Mr. Krishna. Every
single believer. People might ask, "Who
is that believer, Mr. Krishna?" Don't
translate too many things. A person who
believes is someone who recites the two
sentences of the creed. Period. Uh.
That's it, yes. Uh, that's the sixth
one, yes. So peace is for all of us,
yes. I think we'll read these six
points first. Uh, we look forward to
questions from our viewers.
All right.
God willing, in the next meeting
how many more points? That
there are still, uh, 8 more points, yes
.
Eight more points.
Correct. Well, let's put it there, yes.
Uh, this date is the 8th, the month of
the 8th day
4, 2016. It is important that we read
these one by one later, yes. We might
even read them again so people know
what the contents of the Medina Charter
are. The contents are great, right?
Yes.
Making everyone peaceful. So those who
are fighting, who knows where they get
their Islam from. Only God knows.
Please, Mr. Krishna. We continue with
questions from the viewers. Okay, now
we open, uh, questions from you for SMS
, still remember, right? 0811999720 for
phone at 0218451512. We are waiting for
Radio Silaturahim, broadcast from Jalan
Masjid Silaturahim 36, Kalimanggi,
Cibubur, still in the Sirah Nabawiyah
program with Ustaz Salman Alfarisi. All
right, now we enter the question
session. There is already a question
from Ahmad in Cilengsi. Peace be upon
you, Ustaz Salman Alfarisi.
And peace be upon you too. May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala always grant you
health and smoothness in all your
affairs, Ustaz.
Amen. Amen.
Amen. Amen. 99 times. Amen, O Lord of
the worlds. Ustaz, I am Ahmad from
Cilengsi. I am an active IT student. I
have a plan to unite the Islamic
community using IT technology. Ustaz,
please provide guidance and case
studies that I can do, Ustaz.
Thank you. I am Ahmad from Cilengsi.
Well, let's invite Ahmad from Cilengsi
to meet at Rasil then.
Let's have a discussion. Discussing
here, I think, is better than over the
air like this, that's fine. I am here
every Friday.
Yeah.
If Cilengsi is nearby, it seems I even
perform Friday prayers at Silaturahim
Mosque. So there it is, when shall we
meet here on a Friday? I'm usually here
from 12:30, if I'm not going anywhere
else, until Friday prayers, God willing
.
Peace be upon you, Ustaz Salman
Alfarisi. Islam means peace. That means
we, as fellow Muslims, protect each
other instead of slandering and
insulting. Such things are usually
found
in our country only by a small few.
There is another question, "Ustaz,
until when is the Medina Charter valid?
"
Until whenever, right?
Yeah.
If that's the question,
Yeah.
This Medina Charter is a reference for
us Muslims, forever. If there are
things to be amended, so to speak, they
must be amended properly by scholars
who understand, to readjust them
according to the situation and
condition of the society we are facing.
But this serves as a reference, so that
even the amendments we make do not
contradict what was conveyed by the
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
That is what I think. God knows best.
Peace be upon you, Ustaz Salman.
And peace be upon you too.
The Islam you described earlier is
truly beautiful. We yearn for what you,
Ustaz Salman, also yearn for. How do we
do it, Ustaz? Well, for Muslims to
respect and get along with one another.
Well, start from ourselves. Start from
ourselves. We do not hate anyone. We
don't hate Wahhabis, we don't hate
Salafis, we don't hate Tablighis, we
don't hate the Muslim Brotherhood, we
don't hate HTI, we don't hate anyone.
Even if someone hates us, for example,
we still treat them well; that is where
we start. We must begin. Then, if there
are preachers who still spread hatred,
we remind them kindly, "Ustaz." We know
that our brothers who hold these views
are wrong or not quite right. But it
would be better if, when you give a
sermon, you approach them first,
clarify with them, and advise them
privately, rather than bringing it up
in public.
Hm.
Not from the pulpit.
Yeah.
The Prophet never brought up people's
faults on the pulpit.
Yeah.
He would approach the person and advise
them properly and correctly.
So, the pulpit is for advising people
in a good way. Exactly. Without hurting
people's feelings. So, let's start now.
Let's all start—mosque committees,
study groups, and religious gatherings
—let's begin. We should remind our
preachers; perhaps they think the
public's taste now is for fierce
sermons, and that calling everyone an
infidel is what people want these days.
Because for some reason, the public's
taste sometimes leans toward strange
lectures; they want humor, they want
certain things. Let’s steer them
toward wanting religious knowledge from
the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him
. Religious knowledge from Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala, through reputable
scholars, scholars who truly strive for
this religion. We must remind them.
Uh-huh. If they start dividing people
or gossiping from the pulpit, we should
remind them kindly. I mean, if the
ustadh's job is just to insult and
curse, what will become of the
community, right? So, let's start now.
I believe almost all Muslims truly long
for this unity. There are only a
handful of people whose goal is to keep
us divided. So, we advise them kindly.
If they still won't listen to advice,
then we might need to take some action,
right? Take action that makes them
change, such as through discussions or
other means. Well, Allah knows best.
Peace be upon you, Ustadh Salman.
Ustadh, is it true that Prophet
Muhammad wanted everyone to enter
heaven? For example, when a Jewish
funeral passed by, he cried because...
Uh-huh.
he was sad because that person was
going to hell. So he was sad.
Yes. It was definitely like that. The
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
wanted everyone to enter heaven.
He wanted all these people to go to
heaven.
H
He wanted everyone to enter heaven.
That was his desire. The Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, in a
hadith narrated—regarding the
authenticity, maybe ask Ustadh Ahmad
Sanusi or Ustadh Husin alatas—that
such was the Prophet's desire at the
Gathering Place (Padang Mahsyar) for
all his people to enter heaven. Gabriel
and some angels covered those who were
not eligible for intercession. Because
if the Prophet saw them, they would
have to receive intercession from him.
That is told in the hadith. Please look
it up, it's also in Bukhari.
Who else do you want to enter heaven?
Finally, the Prophet asked Allah, "O
Allah, everyone who has ever said'
Allah ', let them enter heaven, O Allah
." Are they going to hell just because
their trousers aren't the right length?
No, don't be like that.
He.
There is no need to bring up hell when
advising people. When advising someone,
touch their heart. "You will be mine
forever." That’s what the song says,
right? IK.
If you touch people's hearts, it's like
leading a buffalo. You can pull it
anywhere. But if you just hurt their
feelings and say, "You're going to hell
," I'd say, "Wow, even I'm scared
hearing a sermon like that, Mom."
Whenever I hear sermons about hell, I
just want to leave, "Lord, I still want
to go to heaven, O Allah." That's what
I say. So, don't do that, okay? So,
advise people by touching their hearts
so that they are drawn to the Islam we
practice. Ah, wallahu a'lam.
Yes. Peace be upon you, Ustaz Salman
Al-Farsi. Ustaz, what is your opinion
on the banners everywhere claiming that
certain groups are non-Muslims or
infidels? Yes, in my opinion, that is
not intelligent.
H
Those who write those banners are not
very intelligent, I think.
He
We need to advise them kindly. I’ll
just say this, no need to hide it.
I’ll just say it, I am not someone
who fears being hated by anyone. There
are banners saying "Shia is not Islam,
they are infidels." To me, making such
banners is not intelligent.
In my opinion. But
Why is it not intelligent?
Where is the lack of intelligence? Well
, intelligent people, when they see
something wrong, they don't necessarily
need to cast it aside. They fix it
instead. H.
Now, instead of making a banner like
that, why not make one that says this:
"Come join our study circle at our
mosque, so we can learn what true Islam
is really like."
Nice.
That’s better, right? Whether it's
the Shias, the Wahhabis, the Salafis,
or the Muslim Brotherhood. Yes, indeed.
Study to understand what true Islam is.
That’s how we guide the people’s
thinking: "This is what Islam is."
Hm. The parts of the Shias that were
wrong get fixed, the Wahhabis' errors
get fixed, the Muslim Brotherhood's
mistakes get fixed, everything wrong
gets corrected. Why? Because the flyer
says, "Come study at our mosque.""Here,
we discuss Islam from various
perspectives." My God, that’s cool,
Mr. Krishna. You know, my teacher said
this—Mr. Krishna, you might have
heard this too: "Salman, if you
encounter a glass of murky water, what
would you do?"
Maybe those who say "Shia is not Islam"
would just throw the murky water away.
But my teacher said, "No, take a bucket
of clean water and pour it in until
it's full."
Until the impurities eventually
disappear on their own. Water mixes
with water, nothing hurts each other,
and in the end, what comes out, sir?
The dirt.
Just the dirt. Leaving it clean.
That is what's intelligent; attacking
others is not intelligent, in my
opinion.
Yes.
Well, wallahu a'lam, but Mr. Krishna,
this is certainly just my weak opinion,
the opinion of someone with very little
knowledge, actually, this is just my
foolish view. Perhaps there are
scholars who hold a different view. I
cannot force people. My opinion isn't
everything; let’s not play the game
of hate. Think of a better way.
Wallahu a'lam. Peace be upon you, Ustaz
Salman. What is your opinion, Ustaz
Salman, on the many books being
published, titled like "42 Mistakes in
Prayer,""125 Mistakes in Prayer,""The
Heresy of Mawlid,""The Heresy of Isra
Mi'raj," and so on? Yeah, books like
these, I think, well, God knows why
they are so keen on spotting people's
mistakes in prayer, you know. Why not
write a book like this? Thank God, the
people of Indonesia are already praying
, the book is good, isn't it? Thank God
, the mosques are getting crowded. This
is good, let's make it. So then, the
mistakes are reviewed in a polite
manner. So I think books like these,
God knows. We hope the author's intent
is positive, but why is their only job
to find fault? There's no such term as
that. We never find it.
The Prophet doing that.
We never find the Prophet doing that.
The Prophet or the Salaf scholars,
there are no Salaf scholars who wrote
about people's mistakes in prayer.
Books by ancient scholars didn't have
that.
Books by ancient scholars explained, "
Here is the correct prayer." That's all
. Those mistakes are just their opinion
; they act like they're the only ones
who know how to pray. I also don't like
it, Mr. Krisna, when people write a
book called*The Prophet's Prayer
Description*. Mr. Krisna.
This is the description of the
Prophet's prayer.
Huh.
He claims that this is the Prophet's
prayer description. In my opinion, this
author is not humble.
Huh.
Look at Imam Shafi'i. "This is my
opinion regarding the prayer that I
learned from the Messenger of Allah."
He created the Shafi'i school of
thought. He did not attribute it
directly to the Messenger of Allah. Why
? Because there are others who see it
differently.
That is also, according to them, the
Prophet's prayer description.
There are others who see it differently
, according to the Prophet. There are
others who see it differently,
according to the Prophet. Don't claim,
"This is the Prophet's prayer
description." Huh.
Say, "The Prophet's prayer description
according to the research of Salman
al-Farisi." Ah, that would be cool.
There is humility there, as he does not
negate the others.
What happens in the end? By reading
this book on the Prophet's prayer,
people will consider others 'prayers
wrong because they don't match that
description. For example, in that book
—though I have never actually read it
—if he explains that hands must be on
the chest, for instance,
then people praying like that will see
those with hands on their belly or
below the navel, or hands down, as
wrong. And funnily enough, Indonesian
Muslims are spreading broadcasts. Not
all Indonesian Muslims, just some who I
think don't understand, are spreading
broadcasts saying people with Shiite
views are those who don't fold their
arms in prayer.
Huh.
So Imam Malik is a Shiite? That means,
oh, I think this is excessive;
sometimes that hatred is excessive. If
something is wrong, we should fix it in
a correct and proper way. I really want
to improve some of our Shiite brothers'
understandings so they are better,
based on what I know. To make them
better based on what I know. I want to
improve that. Of course, in the right
way. Discussions, let's open a dialogue
. It’s not that I believe in what
they believe. There is much I believe
they misunderstand. I am sure they also
believe much of what I understand is
wrong. So if they believe I am wrong,
and I believe they are wrong, then I
try to correct them properly, and they
also try to correct me properly. What
happens then, Sir? A good discussion.
We don’t fight. For example, if I
want to correct the mistakes I see in
the Wahhabi community, I will do it
respectfully. Wahhabis should do the
same. If a Wahhabi sees me as wrong,
they should also want to correct me
respectfully. If both sides want to
correct each other respectfully, what
is the result? A good discussion. And
after the discussion, I end up
respecting my friends. Oh, so that’s
where they’re coming from. Oh, that
makes sense. Oh, so that is the basis
of your argument, Salman. That makes
sense. That will eventually be the
outcome.
It will certainly be like that.
So, let's just make our preaching about
this. Without coercion. For instance,
here is an example I personally dislike
. But again, I must emphasize this is
just the opinion of Salman Alfarisi,
who has very little religious knowledge
. I must underline that. Do not think
my opinion is some kind of imposition,
no. I am well aware that this could be
wrong. I don't like it when people say,
"Your hijab is not syari." Goodness me.
Don't be like that, my friend. Don't be
like that. There is better language to
use. Why not say, "Praise be to God, at
least she is wearing a hijab now"? That
is much more positive. Even if it's not
perfect, it's a step. Instead of
posting on Twitter, Facebook, or social
media, saying, "Wearing a hijab like
this is not syari and you will still go
to hell." Goodness me.
That's the hijab issue.
Yes. People will get scared, my friends
. Find the right words. Find the right
words. For example, "You look beautiful
, sister.""You look great in that hijab
.""But let me teach you how to look
even more beautiful, sister.""If you
are convinced, try what I am suggesting
." See, that phrasing is much more
pleasant. "It's like this, sister.""If
you wear a hijab, sister, it should
ideally be like this.""Uh, like this,
sister.""But I am telling you this out
of kindness, sister.""Here, you go home
first.""Think about it first.""Do you
think what I am suggesting is good?"
Hmm. "Oh, if you want to debate me
later, we can talk again."
Yes.
Ah, that is a much better way to talk.
Don't say, "It's useless, that hijab
isn't syari, you're still a sinner." Oh
my, that phrasing, dear God.
No, that is not the right phrasing. It
is not quite right. I’ve said it
again, in my opinion, what's not right,
is just not right. I prefer people
being approached nicely and spoken to
nicely. Why did I finally decide to
address this, Mr. Krisna? Many people
whose hijabs are, uh, this short ask, "
Ustaz, I’m feeling confused, Ustaz.
Yesterday I listened to a lecture, and
they said my hijab will still send me
to hell, Ustaz.""Oh my God, going to
hell, Ma'am?" I said, "How amazing of
that person to say you're going to hell
." I said, "When did they meet God and
get assigned Malik's duty?" I said, "I
just find those answers funny at the
end." I want to meet that person. When
did God give them the mandate to send
people to hell? Mr. Krishna, when we
were reciting Yasin and Tahlil at Mr.
Pitra Ginting's place, the Ustaz said
this. Our Ustaz was worried, yes. What
is his name?
Ustaz Twaludin.
Ah, Ustaz Taaludin. I am confused,
Ustaz. At our mosque, we usually recite
Yasin every Thursday night. Stopped and
doubted by the congregation. Because a
bearded Ustaz who has memorized the
Quran said, "Ustaz, what you are doing,
reciting Yasin every Thursday night, is
a bigger sin than committing adultery
with your own mother." Inna lillah.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. I
said, "Ustaz, who is this?" Ustaz Audin
, I said, "Oh my God, where did this
kind of Ustaz learn his knowledge?" I
laughed; at the time I wanted to get
angry, but because there were many
people, I ended up laughing, "Oh, Mr.
Ustaz, this is our shared
responsibility, Mr. Ustaz. I said it's
our shared duty." I am sure they are
slipping or forgetting that it is not
like that. I think if I held the view
that one shouldn't recite Yasin on
Thursday nights, I would approach those
who don't. I would approach those
people. I would talk to them nicely,
speak well, with kindness. But that is
not my opinion either. I think people
reciting Yasin on Thursday night,
Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday
night, Monday night, Tuesday night,
Wednesday night, go ahead. I said
they can recite Yasin every night if
they want. I am grateful, and I thank
them for reciting Surah Yasin every
Thursday night. I think let's not
preach like that. Unite this Muslim
community. Unite them. Unite this
Muslim community. If something is wrong
, resolve it in a good way. Be polite
and courteous. It’s possible. Wallahu
a'lam.
Yes. Assalamualaikum. Ustaz Salman.
Ustaz, didn't you say that the true
Islam is the Islam practiced by the
companions, while the others are void?
Hmm. Yes. That is correct. The true
Islam is the Islam practiced by the
companions. That is true.
But to the questioner, I would like to
say to everyone asking or listening to
Rasil, listen carefully. The true Islam
is the Islam practiced by the
companions. Now, how many companions
were there? How many, sir? Thousands.
120,000 companions.
Let me ask everyone here. Who has
studied under Ustaz Husein Alattas or
actively listens to his lectures here
on Rasil? Try to find one who doesn't
have a story about Husein Alattas. Mr.
Krishna says Husein Alattas is like
this. Mr. Farid, if he mentions Husein
Alattas, says this. Mr. Ihsan Thalib
tells a story about Husein Alattas like
this. Mr. Ibrahim tells a story about
Husein Alattas like this. What is our
operator's name again? What is his name
? I forgot.
Andre.
Bang Andre.
Bang Andre. His story about Husein
Alattas is this. There is Krishna,
excuse me. There is Farid, there is
Ihsan, there is Ibrahim, there is Andre
. Five who often listen to the lectures
of Husein Alattas. Okay. All five of
them eventually become great scholars.
We call them the companions of Husein
Alattas. Andre preaches in Kalimantan.
Hm.
Krishna continues preaching in Java.
Ihsan Thalib preaches in Irian Jaya.
Let's just say that. Let's use Mr.
Ihsan as an example. Don't be angry
with me, Mr. Ihsan. Mr. Farid preaches
in Sumatra, Mr. Ibrahim preaches in
Sulawesi. Husein Alattas taught them
this, that, and the other. Can we
guarantee their stories are the same?
No.
It is impossible. They will certainly
differ. Because the perspectives of
Krishna, Farid, Ihsan Thalib, Ibrahim,
and Andre differ in how they see Husein
Alattas. That will bring up different
stories. It is the same with the
companions of the Prophet, peace be
upon him, regarding the Prophet; it
will also yield many stories. Because
the Prophet never restricted his
companions from viewing him from any
perspective allowed by the Prophet,
peace be upon him. The Prophet only
reminded them, "If you are asked for a
fatwa, where do you return to?""To the
Quran, O Messenger of Allah.""What if
it is not in the Quran? Where do you go
?""I look at your sayings, O Messenger
of Allah.""What if it is not in my
sayings? Where do you look then?""I try
to think carefully, weigh it well, or
look at the words of the companions.""
If it is not there either, I try to
compare it with the Quran, Sunnah, and
the words of the companions." That is a
declaration from the Prophet that there
will be things that change regarding
those fatwas.
Because there is something we do not
find in the Quran—the answer, in what
is called...Explicit or implicit? This
means
definite.
It is firm like that.
Yes. I once heard Ustaz Husein Alattas,
what do you call it? That the sources
of Sharia have*qat'iyyat*. Yes, *qat'i
dalalah*, *qat'i thubut*, *dhanni
dalalah*, *dhanni thubut*, *qat'i
dalalah*, *qat'i thubut*, *dhanni
dalalah*—this, if understood, is
standard. Yeah. So yes, I think that's
how it is, Mr. Krisna. It is true that
we should look to the companions, but
that doesn't mean they are our only
model. No. If there are 120,000
companions, then there are 120,000
models for us.
Uh-huh.
God knows best. Peace be upon you,
Ustaz Salman Alfarisi, may God honor
you.
Ustaz, in the Quran, God regulates
how women should dress,
which is that what is allowed to be
seen is only the face
and the hands.
Yes.
But in the Quran, God does not mention
how men should dress, only for women.
That is, what is allowed to be seen is
only the face and
the palms, right. Hands.
Yes, that's right. But he does not
regulate how men should dress. So, I
don't wear cropped trousers because
it's not regulated in the Quran. It’s
only in the hadith, with Abu Bakr, his
trousers were below the ankles. So I
don't wear trousers above the ankles.
What do you think about my reasoning,
Ustaz? Well, when it comes to religious
texts, if I’m asked for evidence from
the Quran or Hadith, I am someone who
is very weak in terms of memorizing the
Quran and Hadith. That's why when my
friends in Ciputat asked me to study
the Quran and Hadith, I told them we
must bring books because I acknowledge
my weakness. I can only read books and
explain them as I have learned. The
fact that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
explains a woman's attire in the Quran
shows how important women are to Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Look at all the
laws related to women, Mr. Krisna, God
explains them in detail. For example?
Marriage relates to women. God explains
it in detail in the Quran. Divorce
relates to women and is explained in
detail by the Quran, so there is very
little possibility for people to have
different opinions regarding marriage,
divorce, or women's clothing. And what
else, Mr. Krisna? Inheritance relates
to women. The rules were made very
detailed by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
in the Quran. It’s as if God wants to
say, "The creature I created called a
woman is very fragile. So the rules for
them need to be provided directly by Me
.""Meanwhile, for us men, the rules are
not as detailed." I see it the same way
in the Quran, too. Especially regarding
our attire. It's not that we don't find
it in the Quran, it’s just that we
aren't commanded to wear trousers above
our ankles. That all comes from the
hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. Certainly, I have discussed
this here before, that every hadith
that comes from the Prophet must be
collected with others that share the
same meaning; how many such hadiths are
there? For example, raising the
trousers above the ankles. Some even
describe it as being at the mid-calf,
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
There are various descriptions. Some
mention Abu Bakr was given leeway. Now,
we must gather all of these. Don't just
gather one hadith; look at which one
the Prophet said first, and which one
was said later. That's the history of
hadith; we have to know it. Then, for
general and specific rules, which one
should be generalized or specified, we
must view it from the perspective of
ushul fiqh. Then, the background of the
hadith must be examined so that people
reading it don't rashly declare things
haram, call people infidels, or send
them to hell just because of one hadith
. I, Mr. Krisna, am currently in
Ciputat and Jombang, conducting a study
of the Bulughul Maram hadith with young
people; there might be only 17 of them
attending who want to learn hadith. I
always tell them that learning hadith
is not just about knowing the text, but
more importantly, knowing the logic and
the structure behind it. So, I often
remind them, for instance, when
studying Kitab Taharah in Bulughul
Maram. Now, let me give you an example.
If we only read this one hadith, then
water, in whatever form, could never be
impure. Because the Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, said, "Al-mau la
yunajjisuhu syai-un.""That water cannot
be made impure by anything." If you
only hold on to this one hadith, Mr.
Krisna, you could use sewage water for
wudu. But there are second, third,
fourth, and fifth hadiths that finally
explain the laws of water
comprehensively. Only then is a fatwa
issued. It is the same with the hadith
about men wearing pants below the
ankles; that hadith exists, we don't
deny it. But don't issue a fatwa based
on just one hadith. This is the current
habit of the people. Read one hadith
and produce a fatwa. This is actually a
sign of ignorance. People who are not
ignorant, or those who study hadith
sciences well, when they find a hadith
that condemns someone to hell, they
don't rush to share it; they look for
other hadiths first. Yes, I believe
K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari had already read
that hadith. It was never presented by
the Kyai. Ha. Hasyim Asy'ari. Is there
anyone who would say no? "Hasyim
Asy'ari hasn't read this hadith yet."
I'd flick their nose 17 times. That's
if someone said something like that.
Ahmad Dahlan had already read that
hadith. Buya Hamka had already read
that hadith. But their knowledge made
them more humble, more cautious. There
are memes circulating on social media
now, right? The meme about how people
in the past studied with a Kyai for up
to 20 years before finishing. What is
the result? They are humble, dress
simply, mingle with society, and don't
make themselves exclusive. If asked for
a fatwa, they say, "I'm sorry, let me
ask my Kyai first." Even though they
already know. The difference now is
people sit in front of laptops with
religious websites, right? This website
, that one, and so on. They learn from
there. Their study time is only 1 to 3
hours. What is the result? After
studying for 3 hours, they can issue
fatwas better than Imam Shafi'i. Mr.
Krisna, this is not me saying that I am
smart or humble. No. I just see myself
like this. I studied at an Islamic
boarding school in Medan for 7 years,
Mr. Krishna. 8 years later in Mecca, so
that makes 15 years. Then I took my
master's degree at UIN Syarif
Hidayatullah Jakarta for 2 to 3 years.
So how much is that? 8 + 7 is 15 + 3 is
18. And I never stopped reading at home
, even if it was just a little. That
makes me say, "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't
know the answer," when asked. I think
I've also been asked things I didn't
know before. I apologize, I don't know
the answer. People ask me, "Ustaz, if
it's like this, what's the ruling?"
Sometimes I try, oh. Oh. Oh, for this
one, ma'am, listen, according to
scholar so-and-so, it's allowed, it's
okay. It's fine, ma'am. Later, scholar
so-and-so says this, "Don't be confused
, ma'am." It's like chicken soto and
Makassar soto, both are soto. No need
to stress. The point is to teach us not
to make people afraid, right, Ustaz? "
I've been praying like this all this
time, Ustaz.""Is my prayer valid?"
That's the kind of question. Well, it's
valid, ma'am. They ask with so much
fear.
It's valid, fear or not. If there's
something not perfect. Let's fix it
together. That's the perfect way to
answer. Not "It's invalid." As if we're
God's representatives. The ones tasked
by God to judge worship are the angels
Raqib and Atid.
The one tasked with recording sins is
the angel...
Atid. Is there, sir? Did you hear a
verse saying it's been transferred to
Krisna to judge people, replacing the
retired angel Atid? Is there anything
like that, sir?
There is.
No one knows; these two have the tools,
they are not the ones who know. Allah
is the one who knows everything. But
Allah gave His two angels the tools.
It's like if you go to the supermarket,
there's a tool, you know, the barcode
scanner, beep. Ah, these two angels
have it. First, if Mr. Krisna does
something, the angel Raqib scans it
first. He tries, why isn't it turning
green? He's patient, "Mr. Raqib, don't
judge me yet," he says. He enters your
barcode number, beep. Green light. "Ah,
that was a messy barcode," he says. "
Atid, don't you try anything.""I'm the
one who judges first," and so on. If
that's the logic, I like using logic.
Ah, if that's the logic. God knows best
. Thank you, Ustaz. We are now limited
by time. But this final question is
from Daud Sabali in Papua.
Assalamualaikum, Ustaz Salman.
Waalaikumsalam.
Please provide the source of the book
mentioned regarding the Charter of
Medina. What is the name of the book?
Sure. Fiqh us-Sirah. By Sheikh Muhammad
Ramadan Al-Buti. It's a thick book, the
color is brown. Or you can look at
Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum by Safiur Rahman
al-Mubarakpuri.
Hm. Okay.
Do you want others as well? Just two
are fine. I won't mention more, there
are many, just check those two first.
If what I said turns out to be wrong,
you can protest later, sir. Who knows,
I might have mistranslated it. Wallahu
a'lam.
Alright, Ustaz Salman, would you like
to give a conclusion? Please go ahead.
Even though we've wandered quite far,
the conclusion is just those three
points earlier. The Prophet, in
building the Medina community, started
with a comprehensive mosque. Building
comprehensive brotherhood among Muslims
and comprehensive brotherhood among all
of humanity. Wabillahi taufik wal
hidayah. I apologize for anything that
was wrong. Wassalamu'alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh. Alright, thank you all for
your attention. We apologize if
anything was not quite right. I am
Muhammad Krishna. Then Syadili.
Suhali, also Muhammad Yusuf, and Andri
Afajar. We take our leave. Wabillahi
taufik wal hidayah. Wassalamu'alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
