Continously devastating condition of Palestinians, who have tyrant and unjust authoritizing by Israel. The USA and NATO invations on Afghanistan and build the puppet government of Afghanistan (2002 until now), and invations on Iraq and build the puppet government of Iraq (2003 until now), had destruction and killings of several hundred thousand people (moslem, or Islamist) of Afghanistan and Iraq. Evil treatment of prisoners by USA Military in Abu Ghraib (Iraq region) and Guantanamo (Cuba region) are some of the major factors which have turned the world into a lawless, and unjust global village.
Fakta ini menunjukkan lemahnya nilai-nilai Barat dalam memperjuangkan hak asasi manusia, keadilan dan kesejahter
This fact shows the weakness of Western values in the fight for human rights, justice and prosperity. Apabila umat manusia terus menerus berpegang pada nilai-nilai Barat, maka ia akan gagal melihat tegaknya hak asasi manusia, keadilan, dan kesejahteraan di dunia. Umat manusia akan terus menerus melihat kejahatan kemanusiaan yang dilakukan Israel terhadap Palestina. If human beings continue to hold on to Western values, then it will fail to see the upholding of human rights, justice and prosperity in the world. The human race will continue to view Israel's crimes being committed against Palestinians. Nilai-nilai Barat tidak akan mampu melawan Israel, dan akan gagal menjadikan Israel sebagai bangsa yang beradab. Western values will not be able to fight Israel, and will fail to make Israel as a civilized nation.
Allah SWT telah mengingatkan umat manusia tentang lemahnya nilai-nilai Barat dalam memperjuangkan hak asasi manusia, keadilan, dan kesejahteraan.
God (Allah) has reminded mankind about the weakness of Western values in the fight for human rights, justice and prosperity.Pernyataan Allah SWT tentang hal ini telah tertuang dalam Al Qur'an (QS. 2:120 dan 114) sejak abad ketujuh, dan masih relevan hingga saat ini.God's statement about this in the Holly Qur'an (Surah 2:120 and 114) since the seventh century, and still relevant today.Fakta kejahatan kemanusiaan yang dilakukan oleh Israel terhadap Palestina telah membuktikan relevansi pernyataan Allah SWT tersebut, dan sekaligus menjadi bukti kebenaran segenap pernyataan Allah SWT dalam Al Qur'an.Facts crimes being committed by Israel against Palestinians have proven the relevance of the statement of God, and become the proof of the truth of all statements in the Holly Qur'an.
Perhatikanlah perjuangan Palestina dalam menghadapi kejahatan kemanusiaan yang dilakukan oleh Israel sejak 1920 hingga saat ini (2010).
Consider the Palestinian struggle in the face of the crimes being committed by Israel from 1920 until today (2010).Nilai-nilai Islam yang dipraktekkan oleh Palestina, telah menjadikan mereka mampu terus menerus, tanpa kenal lelah, dan tanpa putus asa berjuang melawan kejahatan kemanusiaan yang dilakukan oleh Israel.Islamic values are practiced by the Palestinians, has made them capable of continuously, tirelessly, and without the desperate struggle against the crimes being committed by Israel. Islamic valuesAqidah, ibadah, muamallah, adab, dan akhlak menjadikan mereka mampu bertahan dalam menghadapi serangan udara, darat dan laut oleh Israel, serta blokade oleh Israel dan Mesir. made the Palestinians able to survive in the face of attacks by air, land and sea by Israel, and the blockade by Israel and Egypt.
Allah (God) always says to Israel peoples (include Israel government), to call them mind about Allah favor, which Allah bestowed on Israel peoples. Allah said, "And remember please, when Allah delivered you (Israel peoples) from Pharaoh, who subjected you to severe torment, to killing your sons, and sparing your women, and in this there was great trial from your God" (Qur'an, 2:49). Qur'an 2:49 has evidenced, that Israel peoples must be remember Allah favor. So, they must be neglect the violence like Pharaoh. But in the real life now, Israel people think, attitude, and behavior similar with Pharaoh, who had never obey The Allah Command (The Holy Qur'an). Look at Israel government action to Palestinian peoples. They (Israel Soldier) killed Palestinian people, to occupied Palestinian land, and build Israel State on Palestinian blood. Israel government action have many similar with Pharaoh action, and now, in modern era, Israel government action have many similar with Hitler and Nazi action. In Pharaoh context, remember when Allah parted the sea for Israel peoples. Allah saved Israel peoples, and drowned the follower of Pharaoh, and Israel peoples watched by. But, now, Israel Soldier killed Palestinian peoples, to occupied Palestinian land. Allah appointed a time of forty nights with The Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), then Israel peoples took the calf for a god after The Prophet Moses do, and Israel peoples were unjust. But, then Allah pardoned Israel peoples after that, so that they might give thanks. So, Allah gave The Prophet Moses "The Holy Torah", as the distinction that Israel peoples might walk aright. But now, Israel peoples was delete "The Holy Torah" from their think, attitude, and behavior. Now, Israel peoples useful "Talmud" (not from God) to construct their think, attitude, and behavior. The Prophet Moses said to Israel peoples, "Hi Israel peoples! You have surely been unjust to yourselves by taking the calf for a god. Therefore turn to your God (Allah) penitently, so kill yourself. That is best for you with your God. So, Allah turned to you mercifully, for surely Allah is the Oft-returning to mercy, and the Merciful" (Qur'an, 2:54). But, Israel peoples said, "Hi Moses! We will not believe in you, until we see Allah manifestly" (Qur'an, 2:55).
When Jewish and Israeli Government talk about "holocaust" in World War Second in 1939 to 1945, or in NAZI era, indeed that is not true, not truth, or not right. Holocaust is only Jewish and Israeli Government story as an argument to occupied the Palestinians land, and oppressed the Palestinian peoples. Although, NAZI and its activities organized by Germany peoples (Hitler and his friends), not by Palestinian peoples, and not by moslem peoples. Hitler and his friends is Christians. Holocaust is only his story, and not history. In World War Second, knows that 6 millions Jewish peoples has died, but 54 millions Non Jewish peoples has died. Holocaust is only his (Jewish and Israeli Government) story, because Jewish and Israeli Government had done holocaust to Palestinian peoples from 1920 until now. Like in NAZI era, now in the Palestinians land, Palestinian peoples are arrested, kept for months or even years in Israeli prison, by Israeli Occupation Soldiers. The present humanitarian disaster in the Palestinians land would be deepened by the ongoing Israeli blockade. Palestinian peoples could not go from this oppress, and then they have deep poverty, disease, and malnutrition. Meanwhile, in Jewish settlements in and around the West Bank town of Hebron, Jewish settlers were seen dancing in an apparent expression of joy the tragedy in Palestinians land. Jewish settlers in Hebron wielding automatic rifles attacked Palestinian peoples, and vandalized Palestinian properties, in full view of Israeli Occupation Soldiers, who looked on passively. Moslem peoples all over the world knows, that Jewish settlers and Israeli Government are bunch of criminals, who are committing all sorts of crimes against humanity. In Palestinians land, innocent civilian of Palestinian peoples were dying by Israeli Occupation Soldiers. Bakeries were stopping making bread, and the hospitals were cold as electricity generators stopped due to fuel shortages. Yet, USA Government, under the influence of Jewish lobby (who has occupied USA and USA peoples), always veto an UN Security Council condemning such crimes. Palestinian Moslem Fighters said, "Put your trust in Allah (God), not in the UN or other disbelieving entities. Allah had said, "Certainly, the help of Allah is near!" Look The Holy Qur'an 2:214 please!" Then, moslem peoples in the world responded this fight and faith. They have done something, against occupied and oppressed by Israeli Government (who supported by USA Government) in Palestinians land. Moslem peoples in the world have done something, that is: pray, boycott, and support Palestinian Moslem Fighters. Moslem peoples in the world boycott all "made in Israel" and "made in USA", to protest what is happening to the Palestinian peoples in the Palestinians land. It is the only way, that moslem knows to share the hurt, that the Palestinian peoples are suffering. Moslem peoples in the world have conscience to help Palestinian peoples, to bring Israeli Government oppression there to an end, and make concerted effort to inform the whole world about their plight, until there is no more oppression. Moslem peoples all over the world should pray to Almighty, Allah, for God mercy for Palestinian peoples. May Allah see them through as they fight (in faith) for their right and freedom. Moslem peoples appeal for every moslem to pray for those moslem fighters in Palestinians land, who killed by Israeli Occupation Soldiers, and its brutal zionist army (like NAZI special force). This action plus boycott all "made in Israel" and "made in USA", at least moslem peoples do for the Palestinian peoples, who are suffering under Israeli Government (like Hitler Government), who supported by USA Government. Moslem peoples all over the world pray for Palestinian, and hope that Allah will help Palestinian peoples. For new conscience: Now, moslem peoples all over the world know that holocaust is not true, not truth, not right, and not history. Holocaust is only Jewish and Israeli Government story. Holocaust is only his - story.
George Ritzer dan Douglas J. Goodman dalam "Modern Sociological Theory" (2003) menjelaskan, bahwa ada kecenderungan masyarakat dunia untuk menganggap sosiologi sebagai fenomena Barat. Padahal sesungguhnya Abdulrahman Ibnu Khaldun (1332-1400) telah sejak lama mengajarkan ilmu tentang masyarakat kepada para mahasiswa atau santrinya di Universitas Al Azhar, Mesir, yang merupakan universitas tertua di dunia. Barulah kemudian pada tahun 1842 Auguste Comte (1798-1857) memberi nama bagi ilmu tentang masyarakat ini dengan sebutan "sosiologi". Pendapat yang senada sebelumnya telah disampaikan oleh Bjorn Eriksson (1993), bahkan dengan tegas Bjorn Eriksson menolak sebutan "Bapak Sosiologi" bagi Auguste Comte. Bagi seorang muslim sebenarnya tidaklah terlalu penting tentang sebutan "Bapak Sosiologi". Seorang muslim lebih mementingkan rasa syukur kepada Allah SWT yang telah memperkenankan hadirnya seorang muslim bernama Abdulrahman Ibnu Khaldun, yang memiliki keahlian dalam sosiologi. Dengan demikian setiap muslim perlu memanfaatkan sosiologi dalam menebar nilai-nilai Islam di seluruh dunia, agar setiap manusia berkesempatan menyerap "cahaya" Islam. Agar dunia berkesempatan membangun peradaban Islam, yang memanusiakan manusia.

Allah SWT telah berpesan dalam QS.4:34, "Arrijaalu qawwaamuunaa 'alan nisaa-i" (laki-laki adalah pemimpin bagi wanita). Pesan ini tidak mengindikasikan diktatoriat seorang laki-laki, melainkan memerintahkan pelaksanaan sebuah tanggung jawab kepada laki-laki. Seorang laki-laki bertanggung- jawab atas semua yang berada dalam tanggungjawabnya. Bila ia sudah menikah, maka ia bertanggungjawab memenuhi kebutuhan keluarganya. Oleh karena itu, bila ada seorang istri yang ke luar rumah untuk mencari nafkah dalam rangka memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga, maka perlu dipertanyakan, "Sejauhmana ikhtiar suaminya, dalam memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga?" Demikian pula bila seorang anak ke luar rumah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga, maka perlu dipertanyakan, "Sejauhmana ikhtiar ayahnya, dalam memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga?" Bila jawabannya adalah, "Ikhtiar suami/ayah belum maksimal!" , maka sesungguhnya laki-laki itu (suami/ayah itu) tergolong lak-laki yang dzalim. Ia telah melanggar QS.4:34, ia telah melalaikan tanggungjawabnya. Ia telah menyebabkan terjadinya eksploitasi istri/anak dalam keluarganya. Dengan demikian ia telah merusak tatanan masyarakat, karena gagal menata dan mengelola keluarganya, yang merupakan bagian dari masyarakat.

NIKMATNYA BERISLAM
Allah SWT telah berfirman, bahwa Ia telah menyempurnakan nikmatNya bagi manusia, melalui ridhanya terhadap Agama Islam (lihat QS.5:3). Oleh karena itu umat manusia perlu bersyukur kepada Allah SWT, dengan cara mempelajari, dan mengimplementasikan nilai-nilai Islam dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, sebagai nilai-nilai utama (ultimate values). Selain itu, dalam rangka melestarikan nilai-nilai Islam, perlu disiapkan sebagian anggota masyarakat untuk mempelajari Islam dengan sungguh-sungguh (lihat QS.9:122). Dengan demikian umat manusia mendapat kesempatan untuk menghadapkan diri dengan lurus (sebenar-benarnya) kepada Allah SWT (lihat QS.30:30). Hal ini penting karena contains Agama Islam, yang sesuai dengan fitrah (kondisi asasi) manusia. Hal ini terbukti dari substansi aqidahnya yang valid dan reliable, sebagaimana dimuat dalam QS.112:1-4). Aqidah tersebut berisikan komitmen manusia, bahwa: (1) Allah itu Maha Esa; (2) hanya kepada Allah, manusia mengharapkan dan meminta sesuatu; (3) Allah tidak beranak, dan tidak pula diperanakkan; serta (4) tak ada sesuatupun yang setara denganNya.
