ISLAM FOR HUMANS

Every moslem characters exemplified by The Prophet Muhammad is informative. This character requires a relatively high informative ability, to communicate the values of Islam to the public. Untuk dapat berkomunikasi dengan baik, setiap muslim perlu memahami kondisi psikologi masyarakat, yang biasa disebut psikososial. To be able to communicate well, every moslem should understand the conditions of community psychology, which so-called psychosocial. Oleh karena itu seorang muslim perlu mengetahui psikososial, meskipun serba sedikit.


Therefore every moslem should know the psychosocial, although versatile little. Psikososial sesungguhnya secara awam lebih mirip perpaduan antara psikologi dan sosiologi, meskipun pemahaman ini tidak seluruhnya benar. Psychosocial by laymen actually more like a combination of psychology and sociology, although this understanding is not entirely correct.
Psikologi adalah ilmu tentang kondisi kejiwaan (suasana hati) individu dan hal-hal yang melatar belakangi serta implikasinya; sedangkan sosiologi adalah ilmu tentang kondisi masyarakat, hal-hal yang melatar belakangi serta implikasinya.

Psychology is the science of psychiatric conditions (mood) of individuals and things being the background and implications, while sociology is the science of the condition of society and things being the background and implications. Sebagai konsekuensi ilmu perpaduan maka psikososial dapat dipandang dari dua sisi ilmu yang menjadi basis konseptualnya. As a science, psychosocial can be viewed from two sides of which became the basis of conceptual knowledge. Dari sisi sosiologi, psikososial merupakan ilmu yang berasumsi bahwa masyarakat merupakan satu kesatuan yang memiliki "jiwa" tertentu, yang dapat dikaji kondisi, latar belakang, dan implikasinya.


In terms of sociology, psychosocial is a science which assume that society is a unity that has "soul" of some kind can be studied conditions, background, and implications. Sementara itu dari sisi psikologi, psikososial merupakan ilmu yang berasumsi bahwa individu-individu memiliki jiwa tertentu, yang selanjutnya mengalami kolektivisasi sehingga membentuk "jiwa" masyarakat, yang dapat dikaji kondisi, latar belakang, dan implikasinyaMeanwhile, in terms of psychology, psychosocial is a science which assume that individuals have a certain spirit, who subsequently experienced collectivization thus forming a "soul" of society, which can be studied conditions, background, and implications.


Every moslem understand that society have the "soul", and they know that many society still have bad categories, such as: pagan, polytheists, and hypocrites. Bila suatu masyarakat masih dikategorikan sebagai masyarakat yang kafir, fasiq, musyrik, atau munafik, maka menjadi kewajiban bagi seorang muslim untuk mengajak mereka ke "jalan" taqwa, sehingga mencapai derajat muttaqiin. This conditions becomes an obligation for every moslem to “delete” this bad categories, and bring them to the "way" of piety.


Enlightenment preceded by a convey the word of Allah (God), when Allah has chosen Islam for humans, and do not die but as a moslem (see The Holy Qur’an 2: 132). Truly blessed religion in the sight of Allah is religion of Islam (see The Holy Qur’an 3:19). Oleh karena itu, barangsiapa memeluk agama selain Agama Islam, maka tidak akan diterima agamanya itu (lihat QS.3:85). Therefore, anyone who embrace a religion other than Islam, the religion that will not be accepted by Allah (see The Holy Qur’an 3: 85).


Worship specifically means a ritual or procession for which a man dedicated to Allah; while social interaction means of good interaction between humans. Berkaitan dengan ibadah ada suatu prinsip penting yang perlu diperhatikan, bahwa dalam melakukan ibadah seorang muslim harus sungguh-sungguh mengetahui adanya tuntunan dari Al Qur'an dan/atau Al Hadist untuk ibadah yang dilakukannya. In connection with the worship there is a principle important to note, that in the conduct of worship a moslem should really know of any guidance from the The Holy Qur'an and/or The Hadith to worship what he did. Bila suatu ibadah dilakukan tanpa adanya tuntunan dari Al Qur'an dan/atau Al Hadist, maka ibadah tersebut bersifat bid'ah (menyimpang), dan setiap bid'ah akan ditolak oleh Allah SWT. If a religious service performed without the guidance, then such worship is heresy (deviate), and every heresy will be rejected by Allah. When human embrace Islam as a religion, this condition will drive to make the world be better (more peace and wealth).

WHEN FACED WITH THE CHALLENGES

God (Allah) said, "And do not be weak and do not grieve, but you are the people who most high standing, if you believe" (The Holy Qur'an 3:139).

In relation to the word of God, Quraish Shihab in his "Tafsir Al Mishbah" explains, that to understand The Holy Qur'an 3:139 should be associated with The Holy Qur'an 3:137-138.

In The Holy Qur'an 3:137-138 God said, "It has passed before you "sunnah" (decisions) of God. So, you walk in the earth please, and see what effect those who deny. This is a testimony to man/women, and the guidance and lessons for people who are pious."

Therefore, every moslem has no need to grieve, when faced with the challenges of today. Every moslem should not be sad, even now many slander spread by the enemies of God, to destroy the beauty of Islamic values.

God said, "Say, "I seek refuge in God, which maintains the human, the master of man/women, and God to man/women, from the evil whispers of hidden demons, who whispers in human heart, from the "jinn" (ghost) and human groups" (The Holy Qur'an 114:1-6).

Every moslem must not be weak. He/she must stand firm, because this really has to pass before some event or decisions of God, which indicates the success of moslems. Success will be achieved, if every moslem really makes The Holy Qur'an and The Hadith (The Prophet Muhammad teach) as:

First, sources of information, namely when each moslem is willing to reconcile with studies and factual analysis of the information contained in The Holy Qur'an and The Hadist.

Second, the instructions, when every moslem is willing to make The Holy Qur'an and The Hadith as determinant of truth, goodness, and beauty of a thought, attitude, and behavior.

Third, lessons, when every moslem is willing to make the correlation between the information of The Holy Qur'an and The Hadith with present facts, as a scientific experience involving taste and ratios.

Therefore, throughout a person's faith (Islam), then he should not be weak, and should not grieve. Since he/she is at high degrees, in God perspective. This is because he was ready to face slender (evil whispers) the last days. He knew that there was a party of man/women who work peddling on libel and other human error. For every moslem, which should take precedence is the rigidity of thinking, attitudes, and behavior in the face of slender, so he/she can explain and prove the beauty of Islamic values in the surrounding community.

THE MAN FROM HEAVEN

Allah (God) said, "Remember please, when your God (Allah) said to the angels, "I am going to place in the earth a khalif (a man as a leader)." And they (angels) asked, "Why will You (Allah) place in earth, such as shall make mischief in it, and shed blood? While we celebrate the praise and extol the holiness." Allah said, "Surely I know what you do not know" (Qur'an, 2:30).
To make evidence of His statement, Allah taught Adam (peace be upon him) all the names, then presented them to the angels. Allah said to the angels, "Tell Me the names of those, if you are right." The names is a symbol of knowledge (science), which had absorbed in the reason of human. So the angels said, "Glory be to You (Allah)! We have no knowledge, but that which You has taught us. Surely You art the Knowing, and the Wise."
Then, Allah said, "Hi Adam! Inform them of their names." So, when Adam had informed them of their names, Allah said again, "Did I not say to you, that I surely know what is the secret of the heaven and the earth, and that I know what you manifest, and what you hide!" Then, Allah said to the angels, "Make obeisance to Adam!" So they (the angels) did obeisance. But Iblis (Satan, Evil, or Devil) did it not. Iblis refused, because he was proud. Then Iblis was one of the unbelievers.
Allah said to Adam, "Hi Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the garden (heaven), and eat from it a plenteous food wherever you wish, and do not approach this "tree", which you will not be obey My command." When Iblis knows about Allah command to Adam, Iblis made Adam and his wife (Adams wife) not obey Allah command, and caused them (Adam and his wife) to depart from heaven in which they were. Allah said, "Get forth, some of you (human) being the enemies of others, and there is for you in the earth, an abode and a provision for a time!" Then Adam received some words to hope forgiveness from Allah, so Allah turned to him mercifully.
Allah said, "Go forth from heaven all (Adam, his wife, and Iblis)! So surely there will come to you a guidance from Me. Then whoever follows My guidance, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve. And those who disbelieve in, and reject My guidance, they are the inmates of the hell, in it they shall abide."
In now context, a guidance from Allah is the Islamic values, which based on The Holy Qur'an. So, who disbelieve the Islamic values, and reject The Holy Qur'an, they are the inmates of the hell, in it they shall abide.

ANGEL AND EVIL FORCE

God (Allah) said, "Praise be Allah, who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darkness and the light. Yet those who reject faith, hold others as equal with their God. He it is created you from clay, and then decreed a stated term for you, and there is in His presence another determined term. Yet you doubt within yourselves, and He is Allah, God of the heavens and the earth. He knows what you hide, and what you reveal, and He knows the recompense which you earn by your deeds" (Qur'an, 6:1-3).
One of the most important in Islamic values is, that God created humankind to be fully accountable for his actions. Each human being has certain rights and responsibilities, and no human being has the right to restrict the freedom of another. Anyone who dares to take away the God given rights inherent in Islam, including the right to human dignity, is called a wrongdoer or an oppressor. God calls on those who obey Him to stand up for the rights of the oppressed.
God said, "And why should you not fight in the cause of Allah and of the feeble among man, and of the women and the children who are crying, "Our Lord (Allah)! Rescue us on this town whose people are oppressors, and raise for us from Thee One (Allah) who will protect, and raise for us from Thee One who will help!" (Qur'an, 4:75).
In Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine this God said (Qur'an, 4:75) is very urgent. Based on this verse, Islamic fighters in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine want to protect and help the peoples who crying to God, from oppress by military of USA, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), and Israel. Islamic fighters in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine have the process by which and individual's attitudes, belief, and behaviors are influenced by Islamic values. As a result, in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine, million peoples in the world can see Islamic civilization (as angel force) face to face with West civilization (as evil force).
Samuel P. Huntington (1992) said, that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.
To support Samuel P. Huntington, Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon (2002) said, that Islamic discourse dominates societies, the airwaves, and thinking about the world. Islamic values have proliferated throughout the world. Bookstores are dominated by works with Islamic themes. The demand for sharia (Islamic law), the belief that Islam is the answer to all problems, and the fact that the West government hate Islam and moslem dominate public discussion.
Million peoples think that to live an Islamic life is a balanced way of living, and respect of human right. They know, that God created all the human with what is called a "fitrah" (the inherent behavior), which include to protect and help the people who are crying to God from oppressors. Million peoples know, that one day human shall die and return to God.
God said, "You desire the good of this world, but Allah desires for you the hereafter, and Allah is Almighty and All Wise (Qur'an, 8:67).

It is as though he had killed all mankind" (Qur'an 5:32).
