Tuesday, September 22, 2009



"Indeed, in their stories, there is instruction for people of understanding. Qur'anic story was not invented, but a confirmation (of books) before and explain things, as a guidance and mercy for those who faith. "
(Yusuf: 111).

The journey of human life from the Prophet Adam, the first man and father of all mankind until the present, various tenyata nick marks that describe the history of wheel rotation of human life with all the hue-hue, which in essence, no history never stop until the arrival of death which have been determined by God about the end of human life and the end of this universe. Since God created the heavens and the earth and what is between them, is by dying that have been determined. All the history that had passed we must understand and we learn, so that we can Historian Rabbani generations, to see what's gained by those who believe in God, and realize the result of people who deny the divine call. That is decreed in the Koran tells us, the people of the end times, the elect, the people of the most noble Prophet Muhammad PBUH., That God made the trip the previous nations as Wisdom for us.

"Indeed, in their stories, there is instruction for people of understanding. Qur'anic story was not invented, but a confirmation (of books) before and explain things, as a guidance and mercy for those who faith. " (Yusuf: 111).

"So, do they not traveled in the earth so that they can notice how the end of those before them; God has laid on them and the destruction of the unbelievers will accept (the consequences) like that." (Muhammad: 10).

We must realize that they, on the previous nations, diadzab by God in the world with tremendous adzab, a very terrible if imagined, is because they disobey, disobedient, and denied the messengers sent to them. They deny the truth presented to them, despite the obvious evidence of the truth in front of them. It is what happened in the previous nations before He sent the Messenger of Allah ..

The respect of the people of the Prophet., The people of these last days, there is a description of the Messenger of Allah. that if the previous nations and rejected prophet disobeyed, they immediately diadzab by God Almighty., and if the people of Muhammad. ungodly, then they adzab previously deferred until a time. However, it does not close the possibility that God will reduce this to the people adzab, as it has happened to the previous nations. Because God never tells us that this would not be a people's mengadzab Prophet. was among them. While the current Prophet. has died. And God will not mengadzab a people while they beristighfar to God, humans today, more negligent than the dhikr, the more a sinner than the beristighfar. So, come adzab it is very possible given the condition of the majority of people today have far and very far from the instructions, and openly opposed the rule of Allah and His Messenger. Jaunty boss disobedience, adultery, wine, gambling, fraud, and rape has become a right of the menu is always eaten by the people. There are also some people who are considered as religious leaders, it was their first time when there is a bid rejected enforcement of Islamic law. Just been offered a flat-out refused, how could they be fighting for kalimatullah it. Dzalik Na'udzubillah min.

Therefore, let us look at the history of the previous nations, so that we realize how hard the threat, how painful and terrible torture given by God to the people who disobey, the world and in akherat, and how much pleasure given to the people who obey and follow his instructions. Moreover, by studying and living the stories of those who passed, both the faithful and the faithless, we expect it could be fertilizing the faith and belief in my heart, the truth of the divine message brought by His messenger, also to a growing sense of fear in the heart of the wrath of God, who no nothing that could impede his will.

The first one, we see the Noah a.s. that deny their Prophet. About them Allah says, "Before them, have rejected (also) the nations of Noah, so they rejected Our servant (Noah) and say, 'He's a lunatic and he was never given the threat'. So he complained to the Lord, 'that the I was is the one who was defeated, so please help (me) '. So We opened the gates of heaven with (reducing) water gushing. And We caused the earth radiates eye-water springs the waters met for a business that is really has been set. " (Qur'an 54:12)

Let us imagine, the doors opened so that the sky is pouring rain came down very heavy spades, plus God made all the earth's surface emits water, until the soil is barren ones. Thus, water from the sky meets the water emanating from the earth until it rose as high as a mountain peak. What Habislah earth, drowning all. Are they only limited penalties that? No. He said, "Because of their mistakes, they were drowned and then go to hell, so they do not have helpers for them other than God." (Nuh: 25).

The Noah a.s. and those who believe with him, they are saved by God. "And We carried him to the (ship) made of planks and nails. The sailing with the maintenance of Us as a reward for those who denied (Noah). And We have indeed made the ship as a lesson, is there any that will take lesson. " (Al-Qamar: 13-14).

It is a great history that has passed on this earth that we must take as a lesson. No hayal if there is a group of human on this earth who may have knowledge of their desire to historical evidence, they tried searching for carcasses as Noah's ark.

The second, the 'Ad. Ie as the prophet Hud, who can build buildings that tall, who had never built similar. "Have you not seen how thy Lord dealt with the Rabbmu 'Aad. (Ie) Iram population that has a high building. What has not been built (a city) like that, in other countries." (Al-Fajr: 6-8). But there are advantages in that they can not give the slightest benefit to them when they rejected as Prophet Hud, which later diadzab by God, "The 'Aadpun rejected (too). So it would be my punishment and threats Me. Indeed, We sent against them strong winds on the day Nahas constant, which menggelimpangkan humans as if they were carved a fallen key. but how my punishment and threats of Me. " (Al-Qamar: 18-21). Also described in another chapter, "As for the 'Aad, they were destroyed by a very cold wind again very fast. That God blames the wind for them for seven nights and eight days continuously, so you see the' Ad at this time dead lay as if they were dykes palm trees that have been empty (obsolete). " (Al-Haqqa: 6-7). In fact, they are not adzab limited enough that, even adzab they will receive in akherat more poignant.

Next, the prophet Lut a.s.. People who have it collected between inkar (infidels) to Allah and His Messenger, and the abomination that has not been done by the previous. That is, they like their sex and leave their wives. Their actions are condemned. Actions that reflect damage to nature, and the mess humanity and their conscience. The terms of the act as they did was called liwath, given the origin is from the Prophet Lut as. And in the era now, the act is known as homosexuality.

If at the time of Prophet Lut a.s. dikhabarkan that they do between men with men, but at this time, women do not want to miss. Some of them also have minded kemanuasiaan deviate from nature, that is when some of them like their sex. this is known as the term lesbian. In fact, there khabar very excited to show some human depravity today, when it has passed their abominations that, in one hemisphere in Europe. That is, they passed a law similar mating. Dzalik Na'udzubillah min. Is not this act which is completely against the rules of God and beyond what is openly?

Then, what diganjarkan God to the Prophet Lut as after the refusal and dissent are they? Before that, the Prophet Lut a.s. incessantly reminding them to Tawheed in Allah, and leave their abominations. But, if they answer? "So no other answer but his people say, 'Usirlah Lot and his family from the land: for they were the people who (menda'wakan him) net'." (AnNaml: 56). Then, after that God gave to their decision. He said, "So when Our command came, We made the land at Lot's of top-down (We turn), and We rained them with stones of baked clay with a barrage. All are marked by Rabbmu, and torture Nor far from the people who do wrong. " (Hud: 82-83). And the guest of the Prophet Abraham, God said, "Ibrahim said, 'Is your business the delegates hai?" They said, 'Verily we are sent to the sin (the Lot). So that we seize them stones from the ground (hard), which is marked on the side Rabbmu to (destroy) the people who transgress. Then we remove the people who believe in the land of Lot's. And we do not find in the country, except for a house of those who have surrendered. And We left that country a sign for those who fear the painful punishment . " (Adz-Dzariyat: 31-37).

The stories above, and many stories of others, such as the Midian Thamood, Pharaoh, and others, it is important to take lessons. Because, all related to the problem of unity. All of these stories is not a tale invented, and just only for material legend. However, containing something very big. All of these stories come from the Koran. And the Koran, contains all of the determination of monotheism, purifying worship only to God alone, or the Oneness of God in worship. And the stories above all charged monotheism, that is, when talking about people who deny the appeal of unity, which is the core teaching of the apostles. The problem of unity, is a very principle and principle. If someone was wrong in the matter, then he slipped into the abyss of error and prolonged accident. Dzalik Na'udzubillah min. May God show us His way is straight and does not slip like most people.

With regard to the stories mentioned above, vol Uthaymeen Sheikh said, "Indeed, in responding to these stories, and similar, people are divided into two groups. The first group, those who know and recognize Allah is with the signs of His power occurs, then they take a lesson from the events experienced by people who have been before, until they returned to God, be afraid, very afraid when they hit what has happened to those who passed. God says, 'Have they not traveled in the face of the earth so that they can consider how the end of those before them; God has laid on them and the destruction of the unbelievers will accept (the consequences) like that. " (Muhammad: 10). The second group, a group ignorant (stupid) and did not know God, their hearts are empty of faith and hard because of their iniquity. They said, 'Surely these events is natural'. So they did not notice, and did not see a result that comes from God, which is due for those who reject Allah and His apostles. We ask Allah to the verses, and with asma'-asthma 'and the nature of his, so that makes us as someone who could take a lesson from the signs of His power, and fear of threat and punishment. And may Allah bestow mercy on us, for He is Oft-Giver. "

Thus, we should be taking lessons from these stories, and add to the fear of God, if inflicted upon us what has been inflicted on the previous nations.

The stories above have occurred thousands of years ago. However, recently, at the end of 2004, the population of the earth again shocked by the incident that was extraordinary, which then diaggap as world-class disaster. That is, when the earth be shaken by God with a powerful, then God sent waves that are also very great and terrible what could sweep its path, the tsunami waves, which only a few seconds can memporak-devastating several cities in the countries of Asia region, and cause more melayangnya hundred thousand human lives. The question, why it happened the worst result of Indonesia, who reportedly Muslim majority societies?!.

Despite the incident, regarded as a disaster, natural disasters, or others, who clearly had a stark warning from God Almighty. but it's also a signal has close doomsday, as mentioned in a hadith al-Bukhari that among the signs of doom is the number of earthquakes.

Even today, tears have not dried the Indonesian people, and wounds have not healed their hearts, because not long ago a terrible tragedy the earthquake-memporak devastating Yogyakarta and surrounding areas to take its toll so many floating around 6000 inhabitants.

Something unexpected by most people because when an earthquake happens, they're concentrating on the mountain facing the feared explode trim. But, God wants another. And no one will survive treason God. Should be, the incident could be Wisdom for all human beings are given the opportunity by God in this world.

Even if the population of the earth and pious believers, Allah will bestow mercy and His blessings from the heavens and the earth. But if they refuse, for they are a threat to come to their adzab. He said, "Are people of the towns feel secure if we adzab came upon them at night, they were in a state of slumber, or is it they feel safe when we come to adzab them in their time Duha and are busy playing? Are they feel safe from the plot of God? Surely no one feels safe from the plot of Allah except those who lose. " (Al-raf: 97-99).

In the surah al-mulk, God has also warned, "Do you feel secure against God in heaven that He flip flip the earth with you, so all of a sudden earth quake. Or if you feel secure against God in heaven that He will send a rocky storm. Then you shall know how (from belied) Ku.Dan real warning people before they have been denied (messengers of His). So how great my wrath. (Al-Mulk : 16-18).

If we observe, it turns out, was already too committed iniquity of mankind today. In Indonesia, which sounds like a lot of good people, it turns out the people who are not good do not fail a lot, even more. Prostitution, free life, gambling, wine, and other immoral-immoral has spread wide on every whim reigned over the country not least in Aceh is known as the porch of Mecca. Most people forget, neglect, and dead heart so that they are far from the instructions. Thus, God's warnings are not meant for them and they openly oppose Allah and His prophet rejected. Until no hayal, and has become a reality, Allah revealed His adzab very powerful, which no one could stop him. Although among the affected is the pious. Because of God's punishment is not necessarily derived only affects people zhalim course, but religious people can be affected part. Pious people infected sap though, they would lead to forgiveness and the grace of God. Therefore, we are commanded to fear when Allah revealed His adzab. ''And guard yourselves from the torture that does not befall the people of you just do wrong. And surely Allah is strict in punishment.''(Al-Anfal: 25). Presumably, this paragraph needs to be present when the disaster struck. Especially, when only a few seconds the biggest disasters in the history of Indonesia and Asian countries. That disasters can not be addressed limited to ordinary natural events. But, also take some punishment of God and a huge warning and frightening for those who are still in the world.
Attitude that is immediately presented Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab when a large earthquake struck. Narrated by Ubaid that Safiya bint Umar addressed after the earthquake,''You like to innovation is not in the Qur'an, the sunna Prophet, and the scholarly consensus (general agreement) of the Companions of the Prophet, so that the wrath and punishment of God come down more quickly.''( Sunan Al-Bayhaqi). Umar didalami interesting statement. Was he the head of state so fair, including the Gentiles, as well as firm and straight, following the instructions of God during his reign.
At times Umar, he would not let a big kemungkaran, sort of idolatry, apostasy, human slaughter, kill each other, gambling, prostitution, ignorance and fanaticism. In fact, corruption was not allowed to coins, such as seized Omar Sham governor Muawiya gift to his father, Abu Sufyan, who allegedly from the state property and people. However, Umar remained linked disasters with human sin. At that time many people mistake it started happening, such as corruption, lazy jihad, and his possessions stacked pile because the state has prospered.
If at the time of Umar who received praise from the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him as the best generation of a disaster, then what about our situation? It was probably God would be disastrous to mankind, given the increasingly lawless man, not a lot of dhikr and beristighfar, and the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be was not among them. Thus, there is no security guarantee from the wrath of God.
We, who have heard stories of people who have been earlier and witnessed terrible events that befall human beings, if there is goodness in our hearts we will be shocked of course, remember, recognize themselves, and began interospeksi. So that will really understand and then return to the path and direction of God Almighty., To approach, confront and purify the face of worship to Him, seek forgiveness reproduce the errors and omissions have been made.

May Allah always guide us to the path of his likes, put us down among the people who pious, and protect us from His wrath. (Zen Yusuf Al-Choodry)
