- A successful visual for Islam as one.
- Brothers and sisters blessed by Allah
- Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, thank you for
- still being with us for our afternoon
- sermon. Earlier, we listened to the
- sermon delivered by Ustaz Zain Alhad
- regarding*Makrifatullah*so that we may
- glorify Allah. As discussed, Ustaz Zain
- examined Quran Surah Al-An'am from
- verse 59 to 65, right, Ustaz?
- Well, I will turn to several questions
- that have come in via SMS. Besides that
- , you can also dialogue with us. Well,
- it seems there is already a call coming
- in. Hello. Assalamu'alaikum.
- Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi
- wabarakatuh.
- Yes, who is this? Where are you, sir?
- From Muhammad Hanafi in Keramat Jati.
- Muhammad Hanafi. Right, please go ahead
- , sir.
- Well, like this, Ustaz. I want to ask.
- I once heard from an ustaz, something
- like this. One night of sickness for a
- believer earns one year of forgiveness.
- Is that a hadith or a saying of a
- scholar, sir? The second thing, Ustaz,
- Sir. Sorry, sir. Could the Ustaz repeat
- ? Now, I once heard this from an ustaz
- —I wrote it down when attending a
- study—that one night or one day of a
- believer’s sickness earns one year of
- forgiveness, forgiveness of sins.
- Is that a hadith or a scholar's
- statement, Ustaz? Now, for the second
- point, Ustaz. So, for example, if there
- is a person who is sick for one year,
- one year or more. One year is roughly
- 300 days or more, meaning they receive
- 300 years of sin forgiveness. Whereas
- the human lifespan today doesn't reach
- 300 years. How is that explained, Ustaz
- ? Please explain, Ustaz. Thank you very
- much. Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi
- wabarakatuh.
- Alright.
- Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi
- wabarakatuh. So, it's like this.
- Regarding whether it is a hadith or not
- , there are so many of them. Whether it
- is authentic or not has its own
- discussion. But many things of this
- nature—regarding great rewards or
- scary threats—
- are sometimes mixed with the opinions
- of scholars who encourage people to
- seek forgiveness, encourage them to be
- like this and that. Yes, what we need
- to understand is this: we just accept
- it. We just accept it. Allah will grant
- forgiveness. Yeah.
- Yes, someone who is patient and content
- will surely get forgiveness. But Allah
- is not bound by numbers. How many years
- , that is not fixed. So, how much
- forgiveness does Allah give, what
- percentage? He has never informed us,
- and it differs from person to person.
- Of course, it is valued by the
- motivation and the sincerity. So let us
- not count things like that, okay? We
- just ask for forgiveness, and we just
- remain content. The requirement to
- achieve a peaceful soul. Peace is joy,
- right? Even when pressed, one stays
- happy. As long as a person is, first,
- certain that they are walking towards
- Allah.
- Our lives are a journey towards Allah.
- *Rojiun*. Returning to Allah. Be
- certain. So, even people who are ill
- can smile. I will soon arrive, meaning
- to pass away and return to Allah. My
- pain is gone. My suffering is also gone
- . Hm.
- Yes, the journey is almost over, once
- picked up it’s done, moved from this
- dirty, bitter, and chaotic world—we
- know how it is here—moved to a happy
- realm. It will be happy there, just
- wait. Patience means waiting for the
- pickup to be moved to a happy place.
- That is what passing away or dying is;
- it is our body that dies, but we live
- happily there. Now, second, being
- content with whatever destiny Allah has
- decreed; previously, realizing you are
- returning to Allah, about to leave the
- world. Second, being content with
- Allah’s decree. Third, contentment (
- qana'ah). Happily accepting whatever
- sustenance Allah provides, whatever
- Allah gives. With those three, a person
- is happy. Even if one is rich, if they
- do not have those three, their heart
- remains poor. But having those three,
- one is rich in heart, happy, ecstatic.
- That is a happy life. One, certain that
- you are on the way home, heading to
- Allah. That’s nice, right? You’ll
- be happy once you get there, won't you?
- This little bit of pain can be endured
- because you will be happy there soon.
- Two, contentment. Third, qana'ah,
- feeling it is enough. Now, regarding
- the forgiveness mentioned earlier, it
- exists, but we shouldn't tie it to how
- many years or how much Allah wants to
- give. Because it differs from person to
- person, most of it is just
- encouragement for people to be patient.
- It’s not wrong, it is fine to
- understand it that way, but don’t
- bind it by counting years like that.
- Hm.
- So, Allah forgives, but He never tells
- us what percentage of forgiveness is
- given. God willing. Alright, next we go
- to an SMS for the Ustaz from 08963360.
- And so on. Peace be upon you, and
- Allah's mercy and blessings. Oh, this
- is from Mr. Matani in West Bekasi.
- Respected Ustaz, generally, Muslims
- already know Allah. My question is,
- have the Muslims in Indonesia truly
- come to know Allah well? Because if we
- look at the current phenomenon, it
- seems as if people do not know Allah.
- Those who steal are Muslims, those in
- motorcycle gangs are Muslims, the
- street brawls, the drugs, the
- motorcycle robberies, and so on. Yet,
- religious study gatherings are
- everywhere, and in mosques, the number
- is not small; it is even flourishing.
- But why are things that violate the law
- increasing? Where does the mistake
- actually lie, Ustaz? Please provide
- some enlightenment. Thank you. In the
- name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the
- Most Merciful. Your question at the end
- is answered by what you stated in the
- beginning.
- Hm.
- Knowing Allah. If one truly knows Allah
- , God willing, those things will not
- exist. Not like that.
- Everyone would be devout.
- Always connected to Allah. They would
- be careful. Afraid of being left behind
- , afraid that Allah would be angry.
- Even for a small mistake, they would
- weep because they only want to be loved
- by Allah; their thoughts are focused on
- that. Hm.
- Yes. He hopes to Allah, anxious and
- fearful, terrified of Allah's wrath.
- Well, that's how we first get to know
- Him. That is why I ask that......
- religious lectures should focus more on
- introducing Allah. Because the Quran is
- full of it. Most of the verses in Surah
- An-Nahl, Surah An-Naml, and the entire
- Quran are actually meant to help us
- know Allah. Look at how I created
- livestock, as mentioned in Surah Yasin.
- Yes.
- You can use livestock as transportation
- . Back then there were no cars, so they
- moved people and goods, and you can eat
- their meat, drink their milk, and use
- their skin. Do you not see that? What
- do you mean you don't see it? The
- answer is, "Yes Allah, I see it, I see
- that a small child named Udin can...""
- ...plow a field using a buffalo whose
- strength is far greater than his.""Look
- at that carriage driver, carrying a
- heavy load uphill; even when whipped,
- the horse stays still and does not
- fight back." You, Allah, state in Surah
- Yasin, "Fazallalnaha.""I am the one who
- tamed those animals so you could
- control them." Indeed. Yes Allah, we
- see it, we acknowledge that it is all
- Your creation. You tamed them so that a
- small child can control a buffalo or a
- horse, and You did not give intellect
- to those animals. If those animals had
- intellect, we would be destroyed; we
- might even be slaughtered by them
- instead.
- We believe You are Allah, the most
- merciful to mankind. Forgive us if we
- do not understand, if we are not
- grateful enough, or if we fail to
- glorify You, O Allah. Like that. There
- is so much knowledge in the Quran about
- knowing Allah that we must discuss. We
- used to be exhausted by petty conflicts
- , arguing over sects, until the
- essential Islamic teachings—the
- mandatory ones, as Ahmad bin Husain
- Asyafai mentioned in the Zubad book—
- were neglected. "Awali wajibin," the
- most mandatory thing for humans is the
- knowledge of*Ma'rifatullah*, knowing
- Allah, not just memorizing His
- attributes or phrases, but knowing Him
- through the Quran itself and by
- observing the universe alongside it.
- Hmm. Look at that mangosteen. When you
- look at that mangosteen, there is a
- sign of Allah there. One of Allah's
- amazing creations. Right? The seeds
- match the petals, both are five. Who
- placed those five petals there? It is
- never wrong. Six means six, seven means
- seven.
- Think about the hairs on a rambutan. Is
- it easy to create those hairs? That is
- all evidence of Allah's power. Looking
- at a mangosteen, one should see Allah's
- power. Looking at a rambutan, one
- should see Allah's power. That is
- everything. If you look at a rambutan
- but don't think of Allah, you are
- effectively blind. Why is it so hard to
- think about that simple fact? There are
- trillions of rambutan trees hanging in
- this world. Just look at one tree. How
- many fruits does it have? Where do the
- raw materials come from? And that
- sweetness. Could it have happened on
- its own? That is impossible. There must
- be a powerful Creator behind it all.
- You are blind if you cannot think like
- that. Now, what is this mind used for?
- What is the brain for? It is used to
- see the greatness of Allah. Testify.
- Subhanallah. Subhanallah. That coconut
- water rises up without a pump, without
- a pipe. How is that water from below
- inside the coconut? Guarded so it
- doesn't spill. Given a shell.
- Subhanallah. Allahu Akbar.
- Lailahaillallah. We see, oh Allah. We
- acknowledge it as Your creation, oh
- Allah. How merciful and compassionate
- You are to mankind. You made the
- coconut water, You made the coconut
- milk, You made all kinds of meat
- everywhere. In the sea, the fish are
- endless. Fish for eating are on the
- sea's surface, ornamental fish are
- below. What's important for eating is
- placed on top to be easily taken.
- Subhanallah. Gratitude, oh Allah. Thank
- you. Thank you. Praise. Praise. Forgive
- me, forgive me. Thank you. Thank you,
- Allah. Hamdan, praise be to You, oh
- Allah. Afwan, I apologize for being
- less respectful, less grateful, less
- glorifying to You. Sometimes I glorify
- humans more than You, oh Allah. Forgive
- me, oh Allah. See, we admit it. This
- knowledge of knowing Allah must really
- be increased. Stop those sects. Don't
- create new religions. Islam, this Quran
- is to be studied, especially the
- knowledge of marifat, knowing Allah,
- for Allah tells us to see His creations
- . Look. Then we testify much in the
- Quran. Look, do you not see? You are
- blind. How do ships sail on the sea?
- Why can they float? Allah lightened
- their specific gravity. Subhanallah.
- Allah created the wind. Before there
- was fuel energy, we used the wind. Who
- regulates the journey of the wind? Now,
- that is it, what you said earlier, sir,
- is correct. So, this knowledge of
- knowing Allah, children should be
- taught to know Allah. Just when about
- to eat, that meal. Just look at these
- fish from the sea, Allah created them
- and they never run out. Never, even the
- Minister of Fisheries, Ms. Susi, ask
- her. Ms. Susi, have you ever fed the
- fish in the sea?
- No. Right?
- But the fish are always there.
- They are always there and never run out
- .
- Even though humans keep increasing.
- Humans keep increasing. Never giving
- food to fish in the sea. Allah
- guarantees the fish's food in the sea.
- He made many trees there, gardens in
- the sea, many gardens.
- Seaweed.
- Not to mention the mosses.
- Yeah.
- Many corals are fish food, also, Allah
- is incredibly loving to humans. Fish
- reproduce so much for humans so that
- the meat sticks, bones are made, meat
- sticks to the bones, the skin is soft.
- Subhanallah, just swallow it down, fish
- never think. Humans only take, take
- from that sea. All rivers in the world
- bring waste to the sea, but the sea
- hasn't become polluted. If not, the sea
- would be polluted, and everything would
- die. To keep the ocean from getting
- dirty, Allah sprinkled salt into it.
- To prevent the salt from settling to
- the bottom, He commanded the wind to
- stir it—the wind, obedient to Allah
- since ancient times, keeps stirring so
- it stays salty. You can keep taking the
- salt, and it never runs out.
- Uh-huh.
- Ah, humans.
- It’s just that in Indonesia, they
- don't want to harvest the salt, so they
- end up importing it.
- Yes. Even though Allah, in His kindness
- , brings that salt to the land.
- Yes.
- What is the tide for?
- It brings saltwater onto the land and
- creates a reservoir. When the tide
- recedes, the water doesn't follow; it
- stays there. The sun glares at it, and
- the water evaporates. The salt
- is there.
- It stays there. You just have to
- collect it.
- There it is. Subhanallah.
- Subhanallah. Very well, Ustaz. Let's
- move to another question. This is from
- Mr. Syamsul. Peace be upon you, and
- Allah's mercy and blessings. Ustaz Zain
- Alhadi, I have a 21-year-old child who
- asked me, "Why did Allah create us and
- then provide the choice between good
- and evil, and then give heaven to the
- good and hell to the bad?""Then why
- didn't Allah just not create all that,
- so there would be no evil people and no
- one would be tortured in hell?"
- Basically, my child feels pity seeing
- that there will be people tortured in
- hell later, while also questioning why
- we were created if, in the end, some
- will be tortured.
- Yes, that’s right. Look, the goal of
- Allah is actually that He wants
- everyone to be put into heaven.
- Because He is the one who created
- heaven. He created humans
- Uh-huh.
- He has so much love, so much compassion
- , so many blessings. Who is He going to
- give them to?
- Hm. Yeah.
- So, He thought of creating humans. Now,
- to be able to enjoy it, humans must be
- given intellect.
- Uh-huh.
- And given the right to choose. If they
- don't have the right to choose, they
- can't be happy.
- Yeah.
- Now, the risk of having the right to
- choose is that sometimes they choose
- what is not right. That is why we are
- placed in this world to be filtered, to
- prove who is good and who is not. So,
- for example, if ISIS or evil people
- were to enter heaven, their hobby is
- killing people. They would kill people
- in heaven, and heaven would be ruined.
- It is called heaven because it is the
- land of love. No evil people can enter
- there. All those whose hearts are full
- of compassion and love, they are the
- ones who enter heaven. The verse is
- Ash-Shu'ara 88-89. "The day when there
- will not benefit [anyone] wealth or
- children, but only one who comes to
- Allah with a sound heart." When the day
- comes where wealth and children are of
- no use, except for those who return to
- Allah with a sound heart—free from
- hate, free from grudges, free from all
- heart’s rot—they enter heaven. Now,
- because they are good people, only then
- can heaven be peaceful.
- Yeah.
- So, if evil people entered heaven, it
- would be impossible; this serves as an
- example. So, it wasn't really that
- Prophet Adam made a mistake, it wasn't
- meant to be a mistake; it was a
- demonstration, a lesson for us. To
- answer your child's question.
- Adam was created there, and it turns
- out he committed this violation. He
- wasn't sinful. It wasn't really a sin,
- it was a demonstration. A demonstration
- . So, Prophet Adam was there and it
- turns out he ate the wrong thing. If he
- ate the wrong thing, he would need a WC
- , a toilet. There are no toilets in
- heaven. It is a fragrant place there.
- Hm. H.
- So he had to get out,
- be sent down.
- If everyone were created in heaven,
- many would fail and have to leave,
- which is impossible. No one gets fired
- in heaven because they have already
- been screened.
- Yeah.
- Once I enter there, kholidin fiha, I
- won't leave because I have been
- screened. But the screening is also
- merciful and kind, so don't lose hope,
- children of the Father.
- If you can clean your heart by just 25%
- , that's enough. The rest, Allah will
- cleanse. Before heading to heaven, the
- rest is removed by Allah. So once they
- enter heaven, their heart is already
- pure. That's why heaven is beautiful;
- there are no police, no prisons. It's
- not that police can't enter, but no one
- becomes a police officer there because
- there are no more bad people. Everyone
- is full of love. Right? It's rational,
- right?
- Yeah.
- Well, that is the path to it. That's
- why we were placed on this earth first.
- Now, let's use our time here to cleanse
- our hearts. Not to be contaminated.
- Actually, Allah created all humans to
- be good, then they get contaminated and
- tempted. But if they end up in hell,
- whether they are tortured forever or
- released, that is Allah's business.
- H.
- Maybe we will be released later, we
- don't know, that is Allah's business.
- But in the Quran, it says kholidina
- fiha, forever there. But Allah, with
- His own word, is not bound by it. I
- once discussed this with someone who
- said, "No, Ustaz, forever there is
- Allah's word." Yes. Is Allah obligated
- to obey His own word? No. No one can
- obligate anything upon Allah. If He
- wants to release us, that is His
- business. No one can protest.
- Yeah.
- He does as He pleases, right? Yaf'alu
- ma yasya. It is said He forgives whom
- He wills. He punishes whom He wills.
- Yes. When does He want to forgive
- everyone? If He desires that, it is His
- business. The important thing is for us
- to enter heaven. Cleanse the heart.
- Cleansing the heart through worship. So
- if someone says, "For me, the important
- thing is a clean heart, so I don't need
- to pray." Well, that's not possible.
- Prayer is what cleanses the heart.
- Fasting cleanses the heart. It's
- impossible to be clean without prayer.
- That is indeed the prescription; God
- doesn't need our prayers. Our need is
- to face Allah. So the light of Allah
- enters us little by little. So we
- become clean, God willing.
- Alright, next we will take the incoming
- call again. Hello, peace be upon you.
- Hello, peace be upon you. It seems to
- have been disconnected, Ustaz. Let's
- move to other questions, Ustaz. From a
- servant of Allah in Bogor. Peace be
- upon you, and Allah's mercy and
- blessings,
- Ustaz. Does it mean that someone who
- has reached*makrifatullah*is guaranteed
- to have*akhlaqul karimah*, good
- character? Not necessarily, even if
- they are a Muslim, they might not have*
- makrifatullah*. Isn't that right, Ustaz
- ?
- Yes, that is correct. Hm.
- So, it is absolutely mandatory, before
- learning*fiqh*—learning*fiqh*to
- understand what is forbidden and what
- is permissible—to know Allah first.
- How can one be obedient if they do not
- yet know Allah? Why must one know Him
- to the point of love? Well, if you love
- , you will surely obey. You obey and do
- not want to disappoint the one you love
- .
- Hm.
- Now, that is it. That is why the
- teaching of love is also rare. The
- teaching of love.
- Yeah.
- That teaching of love is what is
- missing from the Islamic world: the
- teaching of love. Love for Allah, love
- for the Prophet, his family, his
- companions, and the Muslims. The
- teaching of love for fellow Muslims
- does not exist. Actually, sorry, years
- ago, but now it doesn't. In mosques,
- there were many teachings of hatred
- toward fellow Muslims, being led to
- hate this school of thought, hate that
- school of thought, and so on. That is
- in the past; let us forget it. God
- willing, there will be no more of that
- after this.
- Hm.
- Yeah,
- because there are many who claim to be
- Muslim, but their character is not yet
- Muslim; that means they have not
- reached*makrifatullah*, sir.
- Not yet*makrifatullah*. Maybe they know
- the theory, the lessons, they have read
- all the books on character. In the end,
- it is not character, just lip service,
- because it is not from the heart, not
- because of love.
- Hm.
- That is the pity; there is so much lip
- service.
- Right.
- Sometimes, someone sits here, let's say
- Mr. B, and they are here telling
- everyone about all his faults. Not long
- after, Mr. B enters. "Oh, greetings."
- Wow, incredibly friendly. Even though
- it was only one minute ago. Now, there
- is a lot of character like that. That
- is not character; that is called lip
- service. If it enters the heart, the
- original, that is character. God
- willing.
- So, the Prophet was sent to perfect
- that character?
- Yes.
- To introduce Allah to the ummah, like
- that?
- Yes. Correct. Forgive me. Character
- toward Allah is almost non-existent.
- Hm.
- In the mosque, there are those who
- smoke, who curse.
- Hm.
- Yes, that is the house of Allah, the
- place of Allah. Children are told,
- taught, that the mosque is the house of
- Allah. There are many angels there.
- There are many other creatures that are
- not angels, there are many. Now, that
- is character toward Allah in prayer,
- how to pray? Begging to Allah. It is
- beautiful that everyone prays. But
- there is a difference between praying
- and reading a prayer. What is the
- difference? Reading a prayer. He does
- not understand what he is reading. He
- does not know. Hm.
- Yesterday, I was in a place where there
- was a*Ratib al-Haddad*.
- Yes. *Ratib al-Haddad*. People were
- reading it, right? Now, in the prayer,
- it says, "O Allah, bestow upon us heavy
- rain," because it was written back then
- in Arabia. In Arabia, it rarely rains.
- Yes.
- Right. And then we are here, there was
- a flood yesterday, and he is asking for
- heavy rain. You must understand the
- prayer, Ustaz, yes.
- Yes, understood. And since this was
- made by scholars,
- not reciting it is fine. This one can
- be changed. Oh God, grant us abundant
- mercy.
- Yes, it can be changed.
- Yes, change it. So, what cannot be
- changed is the Quran.
- Hm.
- Very well, Ustaz.
- This is an example to thaw what is
- frozen.
- Correct.
- We are limited by time, Ustaz. And I
- apologize to Mrs. Yuri in Karawang, and
- also to a servant of God in Cibubur
- whose questions could not be answered.
- There is also Mrs. Parwati, apologies
- that it could not be answered this time
- . Alright, Ustaz, as a closing for our
- afternoon lecture, what would it be?
- Very well. In the name of Allah, the
- Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Let
- us all use our eyes to observe the
- greatness of Allah. The setting sun. If
- you happen to be up high or can see it,
- look at it. Observe that setting sun.
- Its colors are so beautiful. The sun
- isn't disappearing, you know. It's
- morning over there. Morning over there.
- That is an extraordinary creation of
- Allah. How many years has that sun been
- there? How many years? The energy never
- runs out.
- Correct. At night, look at the stars;
- some are 200 million times larger than
- Earth. They look like small marbles
- because they are so far away. Humans
- have not even been able to penetrate
- the end of this universe, we don't know
- where it ends.
- H
- God is the Greatest. Such a vast
- creation, all under Allah's power, He
- knows everything. Everything is under
- His power. So, it is extraordinary to
- have a boundless perspective, a
- boundless vision. So, keep reflecting
- and contemplating on the greatness of
- Allah, on the power of Allah.
- Extraordinary. Look at anything,
- watermelons, fruits, look at whatever
- we see. Tigers, extraordinary. Look at
- those animals, none of them are as
- beautiful. Humans are the beautiful
- ones.
- He.
- Be grateful to be human. No animals
- have the form to be able to smile. So,
- humans can smile. Therefore, we must
- smile a lot. If we cannot smile, the
- same. It's just not good.
- Yes.
- So, smile often. A smile is worship,
- God willing.
- Very well. Thus, brothers and sisters
- who are blessed by Allah, that is
- today's afternoon lecture presented by
- Ustaz Zain Alhadi. May it be beneficial
- for us all. Thank you very much, Ustaz,
- for being in the studio, and thank you
- also to you, brothers and sisters, for
- being with us. And don't forget to
- always listen to the afternoon lecture
- with Ustaz Zain Alhadi every Thursday
- starting at 4 PM, only on Silaturahim
- Radio for the one Islam. From the
- studio, I am Angga Aminuddin,
- accompanied by Yusuf Bangkit. And
- Muhammad Neza, we take our leave. With
- His guidance and success. Glory be to
- You, O Allah, and with Your praise, I
- bear witness that there is no god but
- You, I seek Your forgiveness and repent
- to You. Peace be upon you, and Allah's
- mercy and blessings. H H
