16) THE SECOND PILLARS FAITH IS PRAYER

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE COMPASSIONATE THE MERCIFUL

Prayer should be performed promptly, perfectly, sincerely, and regularly at the appointed hour by a muslim who has to keep it up under all conditions, even at times of travelling and sickness it must be observed with full humility. In this sense, the Holy Qr'an says :

<<Inna ash-shalata kanat 'ala al-mukminina kitaban mauquta>>

<>

Let us also listen our prophet's advice :

"God has ordered us to observe prayers five time at day and night. He hwo keep them up at the appointed times they will act as light, evidence, and a salvation at the day of judgement. The other who negelects them shall miss light, evidence and salvation and shall be on the Day of Resurrection with goup of Pharao, Haman, Karoon, Ibn Khalaf i.e with the group of non-believers (Kafireen) in Hell...

The warning is suffice to prompt us to observe prayer steadfastly and to give it up under any circumstances.

15) THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM (part 2)

In The Name of Allah the Compassionable The Merciful

No building have ever stood high and tright unless it is based on concrete foundation and supported by strong pillars which protect it from falling apart. Islam is that strongly based edifice and true faith wich our God has prescribed and chosen as a religion for his worshippers, and perfected for mankind at large.

This is clearly indicated in the verse : (Al-Maidah : 5) " Al-yauma akmaltu lakum dienakum wa atmamtu 'alaikum ni'maty wa radhitu lakum al-Islama dinan).

The First Pillar of Islam consist of repeating the basic formula, which a euphonious utterance of :

This means that All kinds of worship should be devoted entirely to Allah alone with utmost sincerity. It is also an earnest confirmation of the massage by solemn beliefe that Muhammad is His Messenger for mankind at large as prescribed in this sign :

" Qul ya ayyuha an-nas inny rasulullah ilaikum jami'an"

Your love to your Prophet Muhammad should bu much more than the love of your effectionate father and your own sons to you. The Prophet was quoted as having said : " High state of faithfulness cannot be attained, unless I be, to one of you. More beloved to him than his son, father and all peoples".

It is our duty to obey the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, in all affairs and to follow his directives by avoiding all what he withheld in compilance with the orders in the sign of the Scripture.

"Wama atakum ar-Rasul fa khudzuhu wa ma nahakum anhu fantahu" Al-Qur'an

We should fervently believe that Muhammad is the seal of the Prophets and Apostles of God and no other Messenger will ever succed him.

This is supported by the following Sign of the Holy Qur'an : "Ma kana Muhammadun aba ahadin min rijalikum wa lakin rasulullahi wa khatama an-nabiyyin"

In the Name of Allah the Compassionate, the Merciful

USHUL FIQH

DEFINITION

Taha Jabir Al-Alwany said : "The science of source methodology in Islamic jurisprudence (ushul fiqh) has been defined as aggregate, concidered per se, of legal proof and efidence that, whwn study properly, will lead either to certain knowledge of a Syari'ah ruling or to at least a reasonable assumption concerning the same, the manner by which such proofs are adduced, and the status of the adducer".

BENEFIT

The science of ushul fiqh engenders the ability to have knowledge of Syari'ah ruling through study, on the part of those qualified to perform ijtihad and who meet all its requirement, of the legal proofs revealed in the sources by the law giver.

The benefit to be had from this science to those not qualified to perform ijtihad is that, through their study of the calssical schools of legal thought (mazahib: sing : mazhab) of the mujtahiduun (those hwo practice ijtihad) and reasoning behind their ruling, the student of source methodology in Islamic jurisprudence is enabled to understand the various school of thought, to analyze them, to choose from among their interpretation and assign preference, and to adduce legal arguments on the basis of the principles fomulated by the classical mujtahidin.

In The Name Of Allah Te Compassionate, The Merciful

Praise be to Allah, Lord of The Universe.

And Peace and Prayers be upon His Final Prophet and Messenger


And say : My Lord ! Cause me to grow in knowledge." Amien..!

Taha Jabir Al-Alwany said :"The science of ushul fiqh is rightly considered to be the most important method of research ever devised by Islamic Thought. Indeed, as the solid fondation upon which all the Islamic disciplines are based, ushul al-fiqh not only benefit Islamic civilization but contributed to the intelectual enrichment of world civilization as a whole. It not be out of place to note here that the methods of analogical reasoning developed within the framework of Islamic jurisprudence constituted the methodological starting point for the establishment and construction of empiricism, which in turn is considered to be the basis of contemporary civilization".

We ask Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala to help us and protect us from knowledge that is not beneficial, and from deeds that are not acceptable to Him. All praise and thankgiving belong to him, the Lord and Sustainer of All worlds!

BULAN RAMADHAN ADALAH

MADRASAH AR-RUHIYAH

Ichsan

Manusia perlu banyak belajar

Belajar beribadah seumur hidup

Orang yang sudah dianggap suci belum tentu cara shalatnya sudah benar

Barangkali ada bacaan sholat yang belum sempurna

Maka dengan belajar akan menjadi lebih sempurna

Begitu juga persoalan hidup

Kita harus tetap selalu belajar dan belajar terus

Confucius berkata:

Learning is like rowing against the current

as soon as you stop

you are swipt back
