Kemerdekaan Dalam Memilih Respon Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

Dan Mintalah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan sabar dan sholat. Dan sesungguhnya yang demikian itu sungguh berat, kecuali bagi orang-orang yang khusyu (QS 2:45)

Saya ingin mengawali tulisan ini dengan kisah Nabi Muhammad saw: Setiap Nabi Muhammad saw selesai beribadah dan lewat pada salah satu gang beliau diludahi, dilempar kotoran oleh salah seorang kafir setiap hari. Beliau hanya berdoa agar orang kafir itu dibukakan pintunya hatinya seraya tanpa marah dan dendam. Pada suatu ketika Nabi berjalan di gang yang sama, setelah beberapa hari Nabi pun heran, ”kemana orang yang sering melempari aku ketika aku selesai beribadah di ujung gang ini”, dan bertanyalah beliau kepada salah satu penduduk dan penduduk itu menjawab, ”Ia sedang sakit yaa Rasul”.

Ketika ada kabar bahwa orang itu sakit, Rasulullah langsung menjenguknya tanpa ada dendam sedikit pun. Datanglah Rasul ke rumah orang yang sering sekali melampari beliau sambil membawa semangkok makanan. Sang pemilik rumah pun tersentak dan menangis tersedu sambil berkata “Yaa Muhammad aku sering sekali melempari engkau dengan ludahan, kotoran dan sekarang engkau ke rumahku hanya untuk menjenguk dan membawa semangkok makanan seraya tidak ada dendam dan dengki di matamu, sedangkan tetangga dan kerabatku belum menjengukku sama sekali, yaa Muhammad sungguh mulia hatimu…”.

Superiority Comes from Character, Not Blood

by Harun Yahya Darwin's portraying human beings as a developed species of animal and his presentation of some races as not yet having completed their development, and as species closer to animals was intensely dangerous and destructive in human history. Those who took this claim of Darwin's as their guide mercilessly oppressed other races, forced them to live under the harshest conditions, and even exterminated them. Bryan Appleyard, author of the book Brave New Worlds, explains the tyrannical mentality underlying racism, and the results of it, in this way: The point is that once people decide you are a lesser creature for whatever reason, either superstitious or scientific, there appears to be no limit to what cruelty they may inflict on you. And they are likely to inflict that cruelty feeling fully justified, because it is but a small step from believing another human being is inferior to believing that he is bad, dangerous, or threatening to 'superior' beings. Indeed...

Aqeedah: its Meaning and Importance

by Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Qari, Introduction One narration states, "You are going to a people from the People of the Book. Let the first thing that you call them to be the worship of Allah. If they acknowledge Allah, then inform them that Allah has obligated upon them five prayers during their days and nights." [Al-Bukhari, Muslim] This hadith is clear. It does not require much of an explanation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) applied this principle in his practical calling to Islam. He stayed in Makkah for thirteen years to teach the people iman and to educate his Companions on this point and to correct the beliefs of the people. That is the pattern upon which the Companions were brought up. Jundub Ibn Abdullah al-Bajaly said, "We learned iman (faith) and then we learned the Quran and it increased our iman." Abdullah ibn Umar said, "We lived during an instant of time in which one of us would receive faith first before receiving the Quran and when the surahs were r...

Idolatry in Our Age 2

by Harun Yahya The basis of idolatry is the preference for a person, or a thing over God, for instance, to prefer somebody's approval to God's, to fear somebody as one fears God or to love him as one loves God…Or to do for an idol what he doesn't do for God, or to make a sacrifice which he does not do for God's approval. Given the foregoing arguments, it would be a shallow interpretation indeed to define idolatry as the worship of statues. This is surely an argument used by unbelievers to justify their stance. According to their explanation, idolatry ceased when the idols in the Ka'ba were broken at the time the message of Islam was communicated. If this argument were true, then the hundreds of verses warning believers against idolatry, and providing a detailed explanation about it, would have relevance only to a few primitive tribes in our day-a piece of a reasoning quite contradictory to the essence of the Qur'an. Furthermore from the Qur'an which will p...
