THE QURAN

The Quran is the book of Allah. Every word of the Quran is the word of Allah. It is
a book of Guidance. It is preserved in its original form. Not a single word of it has been
changed or lost. It is found today exactly as it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad
(p.b.u.h). How was the Quran revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h)? Allah
revealed the Quran through the Angel Gabriel. Gabriel passed on Allah’s words to
Muhammad (p.b.u.h), then Muhammad (p.b.u.h) asked his secretary to write down
exactly what Gabriel told him.
The revelation was completed over a period of 23 years. Some muslims learn the
whole of the Quran by heart, but all Muslims learn parts of the Quran by heart. It is
preserved through memory as well as writing. It was written down from the very
beginning. Allah has given His  protection  to  it  and it  will  always  be preserved. 
Nobody can change it, as was said by Allah, “Allah sent it and will protect it”
The Quran is the Final book sent by Allah, it is a great and noble book. It was
revealed in the Arabic language in a beautiful style. Its rhyme and rhythm are beautiful.
The Quran is a wonderful book of guidance. It gives us a good feeling to read it. Its
message is full of life. In other words, the Quran tells us how to serve and worship God.
It also tells us how to live a life of virtue. The quran tells us how to be good and give up
bad habits. It tells us how to behave at home, how to behave with our parents, brothers,
sisters, friends, neighbors, and strangers. It tells us how to behave towards other people. It
is a book for all men and women in all parts of the world and for all times. It is the book
of complete guidance. It is the true guidance for all mankind. Allah asked us to read the
Quran and follow what it says. A Muslim believes ain the Quran, reads it daily,
understand its meaning and tries to follow it in his life. We will be happy and successful
if we obey Allah’s commands which are written in Quran.

BOOKS OF ALLAH

Allah sent prophets and messengers to show us the right path. God, the Kind and
Loving Creator, also sent books for guidance. He sent them to His messengers. These
books are called the Books of Allah. Allah sent the books through the angel Gabriel.
Books of guidance sent by Allah are also called books of revelation. Revelation is
"wahyu" in Arabic. There are four books of Allah mentioned in the Qur'an. They are the
Tawrah, Zabur (Psalms), Injil (Gospel) and the Qur'an Tawrah was sent to the prophet
Moses, the Psalms was sent to the prophet David and the Gospel to the prophet Jesus. The
last book of Allah and the most comprehensive was sent down to the, last prophet,
Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), its name is the Qur'an. We know the names of the books of the
books of Allah from the Qur'an. There was also the "sahifa" or scroll, a kind of book
which was given to the prophet Abraham. The scroll of Abraham cannot be found now.
The original books or parts of the books given to the prophets before Muhammad
were either lost or changed. The people took away the originals of the books and added
their own words to Allah's words. This is why we do not have these books as they were
revealed. The Qur'an. is the last and the most complete book of guidance from Allah. It is
not only for a certain group of people and a certain period of time, but it is for all people,
all races and nations and for all times. It is with us today, without any change, with
nothing added or taken away. It is the last book of guidance for mankind.

MEETING IX
LIFE AFTER DEATH

One of the articles of faith in Islam is belief in life after death. The prophet has
shown us the path of obedience, peace and happiness. It depends on us to follow the
prophet or to follow the devil. We are free to choose the path to paradise and happiness or
the path to hell and misery. The ways to hell are the ways of the devil which are the ways
of evil.
Life on this earth is very short. This should be utilized properly by obeying the
will of God and pursuing the wishes of Allah. One day all lives in this world will come to
an end and all creatures will die. Then there will be the Day of Judgment when Allah will
ask us what we did in the world. Every man will be judged. Those who obey Allah and
follow the prophets will go to paradise. Those who disobey Allah and follow the devil
will go to hell.
Life in paradise will be a life of peace and happiness which will   never end. 
Those who go  to  hell  will live there in  pain  and suffering.
Life in hell will be miserable, sad and horrible. Belief in life after death is part of
the Muslim faith. May Allah protect the believers from hell and reward them with His
mercy and paradise.

AN APPROACH TO STUDY RELIGION

There is a crucial about the study of religion. The question is “Is it possible to
study religion scientifically?” Religion is a social phenomenon as are politics, economics,
psychology, anthropology and the like. These social sciences can be studied scientifically,
so can religion. Religion is a universal phenomenon and the most important ingredient in
the study of human life.
There are two approaches to the study of religion. These approaches are linked
through the unbroken line of the two extremes. The first approach is normative and the
other is descriptive. The normative approach is based on the criteria of what is true and
good and what is bad, what one ought to do and ought not to do. This is based on the
personal internal experiences of the religion founder or the messenger in contact with
divinity; the transcendental experience. This approach can be looked at two ways. The
first one is theology, that  is  an  attempt  to  give  a  systematic  traditional  expression  of
 religious experience. In Islam it is called “Aqa’id”, something which must be accepted
and believed. The second way is religious ethics or moral behavior: how to act with one’s
fellow man. The second approach is descriptive which is based on intellectual curiosity
rather than on belief.
There is a number of disciplines which will help in understanding religion. The
first is the history of religion: looking at religious behavior historically. The second is the
psychology of religion: understanding the mental process and feeling of religious people,
and the last is the sociology of religion: trying to understand how religious groups
organized themselves, the role of religious institutions, religious leaders, law, and the
state. Using the descriptive approach, it is possible to study religion scientifically.

MEETING XI
THE BEGINNING OF REVELATION

Before becoming a prophet, Muhammad usually spent one month every year in a
cave on the top of a mountain near Mecca. There he meditated and thought about religion
of Abraham. This was done by him because he refused to accept the beliefs of the people
of Mecca who worshipped idols. This continued for a number of years. When he was
forty years of age the Archangel Gabriel came to him and convinced him.
It was clear that he was a prophet from God. He received the first revelation after
becoming a prophet. The first revelation said:
“Read in the name of thy Lord who created? Created man from a blood clot.
Read; thy Lord is most beneficial. He taught by pen. Taught man what he knew
not.”
When the prophet received this revelation from God and when he  became  sure, 
then  he  began  to  call  people  to  accept  the  new religion. The new religion was based
on the oneness of God – worshipping only Allah and giving up the worship of idols.
About three years after Prophet received the first revelation he was told, “Warn your
relatives.”
He started to speak to his close friends and his family. Khadija, his wife, was the
first woman to accept Islam, and Abu Bakar the first man. Ali bin Abu Thalib, his cousin
was the first boy to accpet Islam, and Zaid was the first servant to accept Islam. The
number started to increase slowly through the personal contact of the prophet and his
close friend, Abu Bakar, but when he received the verse mentioned, this was the sign for
him to inform all the people of Mecca of his cause.

Servant           : pelayan, abdi
Beneficial       : memberi manfaat
To increase     : bertambah, meningkat
To convince    : meyakinkan
Clot                 : gumpalan beku.

worshipped, convinced, etc.

1. Muhammad usually spent one month every year in a cave on the top of a
mountain near Mecca.
2. There he meditated and thought about religion of Abraham.

verb in the simple form, the subject and the rest of sentence. Add the negation ‘not’ to
form a negative. Note the word order in the example below.

 Did he warn his relatives? (Int.) Muhammad did not worship idols (Neg.)
 Why did Muhammad meditate in a cave? (Question with the question word
“why”)

MEETING XII
DAWN OF ISLAM

The  prophet  Muhammad  had  been  spreading  the  religion  of Islam quietly for
three years when Allah commanded him to declare it to the people publicly. Allah also
instructed him to start with his own household – those within his own family. Those
among the idolaters could be ignored if they would not respond to his call.
 Muhammad understood his orders and went into retirement in his house for a few
days. He thought very hard about what he had to do, trying to draw up a plan for the best
way to approach his people and call upon them to accept the religion of Islam.
The news of Muhammad’s retirement reached some of his aunts or relatives. They
became worried that he might not be well. They decided to go and pay him a visit. When
they got to his house they asked him about his health and told him how worried they had
been about him.
Muhammad answered, “There is nothing the matter with me. Allah has ordered me
to introduce Islam to my family and household. So, I have to sit down and think about the
best way to do this. I had to collect my thoughts and ideas before I could speak to any of
you.”
Muhammad then went and invited all the members of his family to dinner in his
house. He invited all his uncles and his aunts, all his cousins and nieces and all their
children. All of Muhammad’s relatives were invited, including even his stubborn and
difficult uncle, Abdul Uzza. Then Muhammad began to deliver his message to his family.
He explained the new ideas he had received from God and warned them about what
would happen to those who chose not to follow him.

MEETING XIV
PRAYER DURING TRAVEL
 The five daily prayers in Islam should be offered at a certain time   when  a 
moslem  is  at  home  or  is  not  at  home.  However, sometimes it is necessary to travel
from place to place or from one country to another. During the travel perhaps there are no
facilities for preparing oneself for prayer, or the timing of the travel will interfere with the
proper performance of prayer. Islam  therefore  allows  a  muslim,  when  traveling  from 
one place to another, to join two prayers together at one time, such as Zuhur and ‘Asr at
the time Zuhur or ‘Asr. But if a muslim decides to join  two  prayers  together  at  the 
latter  time,  he  should  have  the intention during the time of later first prayer of joining
the two prayers later.
The same permission is also given to muslim to join the sunset and the night
prayers whilst traveling. A muslim has the right to join the two prayers together either at
the time of the beginning of the first prayer or the time of the latter. But there are some
conditions which
must be fulfilled i.e. the travelling must be of a certain length and must have a worthy
purpose.
In order to make it simpler for a muslim to perform his prayer duties, it is
permissible to offer Zuhur and ‘Asr, each or two raka’ats instead of four, and also the
night prayer, ‘Isya. These are the ordinary cases in which Islam allows us to shorten
prayers and join them together. But in some other cases permission is also given to join
two prayers together, such as illness or when heavy rain prevents people from getting to
the mosque as usual, or when there is excessive heat. These are sufficient reasons.
The  previous  permission  to  join  prayers  together  and  to shorten them has
been taken from the verse of the holy Qur’an which says: “When you travel throughout
the world, there is no blame attached to you if you shorten your prayer for fear that the
unbeliever may attack you, for the unbelievers are born enemies into you”. According to
this verse, it seems that, if there is no fear during the travel, there is no need to shorten the
prayer; and this was commented upon by Omar, the second Caliph, who was asked by
God gave us permission to shorten and join together prayers. Omar replied that he too had
wondered the same thing and said: “then I mentioned this to the prophet (peace be upon
him), his answer was that this must be considered as one of the mercies of God: we have
to accept it.”

THE PROBLEM OF EQUALITY

If we observe the phenomena of nature and God's blessings unto mankind we find
that He has, not observed equality in the distribution of His bounties and favors but in His
infinite wisdom has accorded precedence to sonic individuals over others. Beauty of
form, pleasantness of voice, excellence of physique and mental talents, etc., have not
been granted to men in equal degree. The same is the caw with the material means of life.
Human nature has been so ordained that divergence, variety and inequality among men in
their modes and standards of living seems to be the most natural thing.
Variety is the spice of life and the driving spirit behind human effort and
excellence. Consequently all those schemes and ideologies which want to force upon
mankind any artificial economic equality are mistaken, unrealistic and impossible of
achievement. The equality in which Islam believes is equality in respect of the
opportunities of struggle for securing a livelihood and for climbing the uppermost rung of
the ladder of well-being and prosperity. Islam desires that no legal, functional or
traditional handicaps should exist in society to prevent an individual from struggling for a
living according to his capacity and talent nor should any social distinctions subsist with
the object of safe guarding the privileges, of a particular class, race, and dynasty or group
of people. All those schemes and ideologies which serve the vested interests or which
want to perpetrate the hold of a certain group are repugnant to Islam and can have no
place in as scheme of things. Such  movements  seek  to  establish,  through  force  and 
resort  to artificial means, an unnatural inequality in place of the natural limited inequality
which feeds the springs of incentive to effort in a society. Hence,  Islam  aims  at  wiping 
them  out  and  putting  the  economic system on the natural footing so that the
opportunities of struggle may remain open to all.

MASALAH KESETARAAN

Jika kita mengamati fenomena alam dan berkat Tuhan bagi umat manusia, kita
menemukan bahwa Dia tidak mengamati kesetaraan dalam distribusi karunia dan nikmat-
Nya tetapi dalam kebijaksanaan-Nya yang tak terbatas telah memberikan prioritas kepada
individu sonik atas orang lain. Kecantikan bentuk, suara yang menyenangkan,
keunggulan fisik dan bakat mental, dll, tidak diberikan kepada laki-laki dalam derajat
yang sama. Sama halnya dengan gagak dengan sarana kehidupan material. Sifat manusia
telah diatur sedemikian rupa sehingga perbedaan, keragaman dan ketidaksetaraan di
antara manusia dalam cara dan standar hidup mereka tampaknya menjadi hal yang paling
alami.

Keragaman adalah bumbu kehidupan dan semangat pendorong di balik upaya dan
keunggulan manusia. Akibatnya, semua skema dan ideologi yang ingin memaksakan
kesetaraan ekonomi buatan kepada umat manusia adalah keliru, tidak realistis, dan tidak
mungkin dicapai. Kesetaraan yang diyakini Islam adalah kesetaraan dalam hal peluang
perjuangan untuk mengamankan mata pencaharian dan untuk menaiki anak tangga paling
atas dari tangga kesejahteraan dan kemakmuran. Islam menghendaki agar tidak ada cacat
hukum, fungsional atau tradisional dalam masyarakat untuk mencegah seseorang
berjuang untuk hidup sesuai dengan kapasitas dan bakatnya, juga tidak boleh ada
perbedaan sosial yang hidup dengan tujuan menjaga hak-hak istimewa, dari kelas, ras
tertentu. , dan dinasti atau sekelompok orang. Semua skema dan ideologi yang melayani
kepentingan pribadi atau yang ingin dilakukan oleh kelompok tertentu adalah menjijikkan
bagi Islam dan tidak memiliki tempat sebagai skema. Gerakan-gerakan tersebut berusaha
untuk membangun, melalui kekuatan dan menggunakan cara-cara artifisial,
ketidaksetaraan yang tidak wajar sebagai ganti dari ketidaksetaraan terbatas alami yang
memberi sumber insentif bagi upaya dalam suatu masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, Islam
bertujuan untuk memusnahkan mereka dan menempatkan sistem ekonomi pada pijakan
alami sehingga peluang perjuangan tetap terbuka untuk semua.
