PEACE: MADE IN MOSLEM

Moslem have spoken greeting in Arabic "assallamu'alaikum" (peace be upon you). The term "salam" in Arabic means "peace". Greeting is usually accompanied by a kind of two handed "handshake".
"Salamun'alaikum", which similarly with "assallamu'alaikum", used in a passage of The Holy Qur'an describing the greeting of the angels towards the inhabitants of paradise.
"And angels shall enter unto them from every gate, saying, "Salamun'alaikum (peace be upon you) for you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home" (Qur'an 13:23-24).
In the world, peace commonly refers to an absence of agression, violence, and hostility, but which also represents a larger concept where in there are healthy and newly healed interpersonal and international relationships, and safety in matters of social and economic welfare.
Many different theories of peace exist in the world which involves conflict transformation, disarmament, and cessation of violence.
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in your self and between others, where a respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflict are resolved through dialog, people's right are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.
Peoples must educated a series of lessons about encounters that draw from people, includes their desire for peace, non violent alternatives for managing conflict, and skills for critical analysis of structural arrangements that produce and legitimate injustice and inequality.
The education is a series of teaching about care for others, a settled disposition and enhancing the confidence of the individual as an individual agent of peace, the consequences of war and social injustice, the value of peaceful and just social stuctures and working to uphold or develop such social structures, and leave the world and to imagine a peaceful future.
Peace built at different level what is called multi track diplomacy, that includes direct talks between the leaders of conflicting parties, and dialogue at lower level which often unofficially between groups and parties to discuss a violent conflict, as well as efforts to address the causes and impact of violence.
A rationale for peace might be located in virtue ethic. Moslem have called virtue ethic as "adab", which in the context of behavior refers prescribed etiquette of refinement, good manners, morals, decorum, decency, and humane.
In Islamic values: First, refinement is a small change that improves something, polite behavior and knowledge of social rules, and the process of making a substance pure.
Second, good is: (1) enjoyable, pleasent, or interesting; (2) a high quality or level; (3) successful, or able to do something well; (4) kind or helpful; (5) having a positive or useful effect; and (6) suitable or satisfactory.
Third, moral is relating to belief about what is right or wrong which the basic of Allah (God) said, and behaving in a way that Allah say is correct.
Fourth, decorum is behavior which considered to polite and correct.
Fifth, decency is behavior that is acceptable in society in the frame of Allah order to do something.
Sixth, humane is kind, especially toward peoples that are suffering.

MEMAHAMI POSISI MANUSIA

Posisi manusia terhadap Allah SWT bersifat strukturatif atau atas bawah (dalam strata tak terhingga), di mana manusia merupakan hamba (makhluk ciptaan Allah SWT), sedangkan Allah SWT merupakan Tuhan bagi semesta alam, yaitu alam semesta dan alam akherat beserta segenap isinya. Sementara itu posisi manusia terhadap manusia lainnya bersifat cluster, equal, atau setara, di mana setiap manusia merupakan sama-sama makhluk ciptaan Allah SWT, dan sekaligus juga merupakan sama-sama hamba Allah SWT.
Dalam konteks posisi, manusia berada pada posisi yang didominasi oleh Allah SWT, karena segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan manusia tidak pernah luput dari kontrol atau kendali Allah SWT. Posisi hamba pada manusia, dan Tuhan pada Allah SWT merupakan posisi yang diumumkan oleh Allah SWT dalam sebuah "dokumen suci", yaitu Al Qur'an, tepatnya pada QS.96:1-5 dan QS.19:93. Oleh karena itu, setiap manusia terikat untuk melaksanakan tugas dan fungsinya sebagai hamba Allah SWT, yaitu beribadah kepada Allah SWT (lihat QS.51:56), dan menjadi rahmatan lil'alamiin (lihat QS.21:107).
Allah SWT berfirman, "Bacalah dengan nama Tuhanmu (Allah) yang telah menciptakan. Dia menciptakan manusia dari segumpal darah. Bacalah, dan Tuhanmulah Yang Maha Pemurah, yang mengajari manusia dengan perantaraan kalam (firman). Dia mengajari manusia hal-hal yang belum diketahuinya" (QS.96:1-5).
Sementara itu, dalam QS.19:93 Allah SWT berfirman, "Tidak ada seorangpun di langit dan di bumi melainkan datang sebagai hamba kepada Yang Maha Pengasih (Allah)."

STATE TERRORISM: MADE IN USA

USA build state terrorism after World War Second. Vietnam War had prove its. As a result 150,000 USA troops was died, and a million troops was wound in Vietnam.
After Cold War, USA continues make implementation of state terrorism, like this: First, on October 7, 2001, USA and Australian forces initiated bombing campaigns. The main goals of the war to defeat the Taliban (Islamic Student Fighter), drive al-Qaeda (Islamic Fighter) out of Afghanistan, and capture key al-Qaeda leaders. Early 2003, the Taliban was regrouping, amassing new funds, and recruit. In 2006, the Taliban insurgency appeared larger, fiercer, and better organized. As a result 3,500 USA troops was died, and many thousand troops was wound in Afghanistan.
Second, the invasion of Iraq commenced on March 20, 2003 with bombing campaigns like in Afghanistan, and the Iraqi military quickly defeated. But USA and Allied Forces faced growing insurgency led Islamic groups. In 2005, Islamic groups insurgency appeared larger, fiercer, and better organized. As a result 21,500 USA troops was died, and many thousands troops was wound in Iraq. USA policies and strategy in Iraq had many critics, and pressed to set time table to withdraw troops from Iraq.
Afghanistan and Iraq War had prove, that the world need Islamic values to face state terrorism (made in USA). In Islamic values many country will be peace and just. People live in peace, and make them interactions in egalitarian. God (Allah) said, "Whoseover kills a human being without any reason like man slaughter, or corruption on earth. It is as though he had killed all mankind" (Qur'an 5:32).

BERTERIMAKASIH PADA POLRI

Dalam satu hari ini, beberapa stasiun televisi memberitakan keberhasilan POLRI (Kepolisian Republik Indonesia), khususnya Detasemen Khusus 88 Anti Teror, dalam menangkap dan menembak mati teroris di Bekasi dan Temanggung. Oleh karena itu, Bangsa Indonesia selayaknya bersyukur kepada Allah SWT dan berterimakasih pada POLRI.
Satu hal yang patut difahami adalah, bahwa nilai-nilai Islam tidak mengajarkan terorisme. Nilai-nilai Islam mengajarkan dua hal, yaitu: Pertama, setiap manusia haruslah beribadah kepada Allah SWT. Kedua, setiap manusia haruslah dapat memberi manfaat bagi alam semesta.
Peperangan atau perlawanan bersenjata, barulah diijinkan bagi setiap muslim di suatu wilayah, hanya bila mereka diserang secara fisik (serangan bersenjata) sebagaimana yang terjadi di Palestina, Iraq, dan Afghanistan. Oleh karena itu, Bangsa Indonesia selayaknya mendukung perjuangan para pejuang muslim di Palestina, Iraq, dan Afghanistan.
Sudah selayaknya, Umat Islam Indonesia terus menerus meningkatkan ketaqwaan kepada Allah SWT. Jangan terkecoh dengan fitnah yang ditujukan kepada Umat Islam Indonesia. Nilai-nilai Islam merupakan nilai-nilai kebenaran, yang baik buat manusia, karena akan secara benar mampu memartabatkan manusia.
Alhamdulillahi rabbil'alamiin.
Terimakasih Kepolisian Republik Indonesia, semoga Allah SWT selalu berkenan memberi petunjuk dan hidayahNya kepada Kepolisian Republik Indonesia.
Wassallamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.

THE ISLAMIC TRADITION

Mecca is the holiest meeting site of the Islamic religion. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) proclaimed "Islam" in this city. The other site, Medina is the second holiest city in Islam, and the burial place of The Prophet Muhammad.
Most moslems accept as a moslem anyone who has publicly pronounce, "I bear witness there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah (God), and I bear witness Muhammad is His (Allah) messenger." This mind set, make moslem thinkers pursued humanistic, rational, and scientific discourse in their search for knowledge, meaning, and values.
The earliest known treatises dealing with environmentalism, and environmental science were Islamic treatises written by al-Kindi, al-Razi, Ibn al-Jazzar, al-Tamimi, al-Masihi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Ali Ibn Ridwan, Abd al-Latif, and Ibn an-Nafis. The Islamic tradition witnessed a fundamental transformation in agricultural known, especially "the Islamic agricultural revolution" in Eighth Century. Moslem engineers also invented crankshaft and water turbines, employed gears in mills, and water raising machines, and pioneered the use of dams as a source of water power, used to provide additional power to watermills and water raising machines.
Now, many peoples know about a growing moslem identity, and a wish to assert that identity by many ways or style. The major point of contention are the different female forms of clothing.
In finance sector, moslem have Islamic bank. In Britain, the Islamic Bank of Britain opened its doors on 2004. Other countries which have Islamic banking institutions are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherland, Switzerland, and Ireland.

KEDZALIMAN PEMERINTAH ISRAEL

Sejak awal Juli 2009, Pemerintah Israel yang dzalim dan yang telah merampok tanah Palestina untuk mendirikan Negara Dzalim Israel, telah melakukan program yang keji terhadap rakyat Palestina. Program tersebut berupa pengusiran rakyat Palestina dari setiap jengkal tanah, yang berhasil dirampok oleh Pemerintah Israel.
Dalam konteks kekinian, nampak bahwa sangat sulit menegakkan keadilan bagi rakyat Palestina yang ditindas dan didzalimi oleh Pemerintah Israel. Hal ini dikarenakan Pemerintah Israel mendapat dukungan kuat dari Komunitas Iblis Internasional (lihat QS.2:120), yaitu: Amerika Serikat, Inggris, Perancis, dan lain-lain.
Namun demikian Umat Islam hendaknya tidaklah berputus-asa, tetaplah berdoa, agar rakyat Palestina mampu menegakkan keadilan bagi diri mereka sendiri di Tanah Palestina, karena Allah SWT telah berfirman:
"Orang-orang kafir berkata berkata kepada Rasul-Rasul mereka, "Kami sungguh-sungguh akan mengusir kamu (para Rasul dan pengikutnya, termasuk pengikut Rasulullah Muhammad SAW, yaitu Bangsa Palestina) dari negeri kami (misal: Israel), atau kamu kembali kepada agama kami (misal: Yahudi)." Maka Allah mewahyukan kepada mereka (para Rasul, yang kemudian tercatat dalam Al Qur'an), "Kami (Allah) pasti akan membinasakan orang-orang yang dzalim itu (misal: Pemerintah Israel), dan Kami pasti akan menempatkan kamu (orang-orang saleh, misal: Palestina) di negeri-negeri itu, sesudah mereka (orang-orang kafir, misal: Pemerintah Israel). Yang demikian itu disampaikan sebagai penyemangat bagi orang-orang yang takut kepadaKu dan ancamanKu" (lihat QS.14:13-14).

RELIGIOUS MIND SET

Moslems were going through some very difficult time, when West relations with moslem have polarized. Continuously devastating conditions of Palestinians, who had robbed his land by Israel Government (a robber of Palestinians land); and West (USA and Europe Government) who supporting Israel Government to robbed Palestinians land, had make this polarize relation. God (Allah) said that West very hate a moslem (look Qur'an 2:120).
This polarize relation make the world in lawless and unjust. Million moslems had killed by West in Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan. To build of truth, moslems hope God protect moslems in the world, and give religious mind set for West.
Religious mind set hold that there is only One God, and claim that the One God is worshiped in religion under one name, that is Islam. Approximately 20 % of the world population identifies with Islam, and 32 % Christian, 1 % Judaism, 6 % Budhism, 13 % Hinduism, 6 % traditional Chinese religion, 7 % various other religion, and 15 % atheist.
The holy book of Islam (The Holy Qur'an) asserts the existence of a single and absolute God, that transcends the world, a unique and independent of the creation. Similarly The Holy Qur'an rejects the modes of thinking, such as: duality god (god and evil), trinity god (father god, son god, and holy spirit), and poly god (god and friends).
Islam is a monotheistic religion based on the teaching contained in The Holy Qur'an, and include many religious practices. As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to God divinely revealed law.
God said, "Say, God the only one, God the indivisible, God gives not birth, nor is God begotten, and God is in God self, not dependent or anything" (Qur'an 114:1-4). According to this view, the fundamental message of all of the prophet is, "There is no god worthy of more of worship but God." The truth is absolute and one, and is not relative to each induvidual and society. The only one who has the right to legislate right and wrong is the one who created the universe, that is God.
