  • How People Become Social Beings?
    يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ
    "O mankind! we created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and Tribes, that ye may know Each other (Not that ye may despise each other). Verily the Most honoured of you In the sight of Allah is (He who is) the Most righteous of you. and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)"

    There is no doubt that humans always live in groups or society. With others, he worked together to meet their own needs. Is this cooperation were the source in nature? All we know is that humans have a need for specific needs and feelings so that it is pushing to meet its needs by means of facilities owned. Here he was not aware of the needs of the needs and wishes of others.

    Humans use everything that can be reached to satisfy his needs, such as the use of herbs and trees, including leaves, fruits, roots and wood, and the animals and the results of the beast. Are humans like this, who used all that could be reached for its own sake, can behave differently, respecting others and working with them and provide some benefits for them? No! Humans feel a lot of the necessities of life which can not fulfill themselves. She thinks that she needs others to help him meet his needs.

    But he realized that everyone else also has a will like him, and they strive to realize it as he will also strive to realize his will. It was here, when he learned this fact, humans cooperate with each other, so willing to give a portion of its profits to meet the needs of others. As a result, he obtained part of their profit gains. In essence, he entered into a market that is open at all times and in which the needs of subsistence for sale. As a result, any product of society overlap. Each member of the public to be part of each according to its social balance. That is, according to the levels of the deed he had done to society, and in this way he meet the needs of life.

    The above shows that based on his character, in an effort to realize its own interests, people need the help of other humans. This forced him to cooperate with other human beings human. This is clearly exposed when we examine the children. where a child, if you want to get what he wants, will cry for this purpose. But once the child's age increases, getting closer and get to know people, then gradually he will stop the request like that until he actually became a member of the community, and at this time that he would forget about the excessive demands

    There is a basic natural instinct in man, with whom he violates the rights of each other and their interests. this is also true of Islam is the recommended to be eliminated, eradicated, fought by implement / applying the laws of Islam in the life.

  • Patience in Islam (Sabr)
    What scholars have said about patience


    Some scholars have defined patience as a good human characteristic or a positive psychological attitude, by virtue of which we refrain from doing that which is not good. Human beings cannot live a proper, healthy life without patience. Abû ‘Uthmân said: “the one who has patience is the one who trained himself to handle difficulties.” ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthmân al-Makkî said: “Patience means to keep close to Allâh and to accept calmly the trials He sends, without complaining or feeling sad.” Al- Khawwas said: “Patience means to adhere to the rules of the Qur’ân and Sunnah.”


    Patience means not seeing any difference between times of ease and times of hardship, and being content at all times. This is too difficult, and we are not instructed to be like this. Allâh has created us in such a way that we feel the difference between times of ease and times of hardship, and all that we can do is refrain from panicking at times of stress. Patience does not mean feeling the same at both easy and difficult times. That is beyond us, and is not part of our nature.

    Another scholar said: “Patience means to refrain from complaining.” ‘Alî ibn Abî Tâlib said: “Patience means to seek Allâh’s help.” Is it better to have patience at the time of difficulty, or to be in a situation which does not require patience?

    Having an easy time is better for us than having a difficult time. As the Prophet (PBUH) said in his well known du‘â: “If You are not angry with me, then I do not care what happens to me, but still I would rather have your blessings and your favour.” This does not contradict the hadîth which says, “No-one has ever been given a better gift than patience,” because that refers to after a test or trial has befallen a person. But ease is still better.

  • Islamic Religious Rituals Religious Rituals, The Meaning of religious ritual and  The impact on the lives

    Religions have different rituals and practices that accompany and highlight religious experience. A ritual must fit into four categories. These four categories are that it must be a repetitive social practice, it must be set off from the routines of day to day life, it must follow some sort of ritual schema, and it must be encoded in myth. Ritual often has its roots in myth and religion, tying itself to ancient practices between the divine and humans. However, a ritual does not have to be religious in nature;

    Religion can be defined as concepts or ideas and the practices associated with them. These practices hypothesize reality beyond that which is instantly available to the senses. An example of an old ritual that is encoded in myth and religious symbolism can be found in the catacombs of Sicily where over 2,000 dead bodies are kept. Most of these bodies have been embalmed or mummified and dressed in the attire that suited their profession, many of them being nobles, professionals, and merchants

    Another great example of Ritual can be seen in the Sinhalese Buddhists of Sri Lanka. To cure people of illness the Sinhalese perform an elaborate exorcism ritual that involves all night dancing, singing, and role playing. The ceremony traditionally lasts from Midnight until 6 AM. At Midnight, costumed actors appear to portray the afflicting demons. As time passes, these figures are turned into comedic figures of ridicule. At 3 AM actors dressed as Sinhalese gods appear and reassert their dominance. The final performance, done around 6 AM, the absurdity of the demons if confirmed and the ritual ends. It is important to note that the ritual involves several crucial and distinctly separate phases


    So, What are the religious rituals of Islam?

    There are some religous rituals of islam, The Islam has Five Pillar and this five pillars of Islam make up the basic foundations of belief, for a Muslim the rituals in islam are summarized in the five pillars where most of rituals are performed in our neighborhood , The only Islamic rituals specific to Makkah are the Hajj and the Umrah - and their various individual components.

    What Are The Main Practices And Rituals Of Islam?

    The main Practices and Rituals in islam is Prayer (shalat) It is the practice of formal prayer in Islam. Its supreme importance for Muslims is indicated by its status as one of the Five Pillars of Sunni Islam, of the Ten Practices of the Religion of Twelver Islam. Salah is a ritual prayer, having prescribed conditions, a prescribed procedure, and prescribed times.

    Performing salah is obligatory, with a few dispensations for those for whom it would be difficult. For those whom it is difficult they can perform Salah in a way which is suitable for them. They can perform Salah while sitting down (in case of illness or any situation like traveling in a vehicle, on a horse, etc), while lying down (in case of illness) and even with indication. To perform valid Salah, Muslims must be in a state of ritual purity, which is mainly achieved by ritual ablution according to prescribed procedures.

    After Salah, often duas and munajats are held. Certain hadiths recommends reciting Ayatul Kursi, Al-Falaq, Al-Nas , etc. after Salah for protection

    For Sunnis and Musta'lids, salah is prescribed at five periods of the day, which are measured according to the movement of the sun. These are: near dawn (fajr), just after noon (dhuhr), in the afternoon (asr), just after sunset (maghrib) and around nightfall (isha'a). Under some circumstances prayers can be shortened or combined (according to prescribed procedures). In case a prayer is skipped, it must be made up later

    While For Shia doctrine permits two sets of these prayers to be performed in succession. Sufis often perform dhikr after the conclusion of prayers.

  • The Twilights Trilogy
    The period between sunset and dusk is called twilight. Astronomers recognize three stages of twilight. Civil twilight begins when the sun's disc is 6 degrees below the horizon . Other celestial objects are still clearly visible at this point. Then Nauitical twilight until the sun sank below the horizon 12 degrees. In this period the horizon looks unclear. astronomical twilight-total dark-started when the Sun is 18 degrees below horizon. The same thing happened - in reverse order, when the sun will rise.

    The position of the Sun in the Determination of Salat Time ,

    "True prayer is an obligation that is determined his time upon those who believe "(QS An-Nisa: 103).

    Of the provisions contained in the Qur'an and Hadith to be understood that the provisions of prayer is associated with the position of the sun on the celestial sphere. Therefore, in determining the initial prayers, astronomical data is the most important positions of the sun, especially high, h, or zenith distance. The phenomenon of early dawn (morning twislight), sunrise (sunrise), the sun crossed the meridian (culmination), sunset (sunset), and late afternoon (evening twilight) associated with the sun's zenith distance.

    Isha dan Shubuh
    Isha time is defined as when red light (syafaq) in the sky are gone, until dawn shaddiq. While Shubuh time begins when the dawn shaddiq appear, until shortly before sunrise (syuruq). Please note, that shortly after sunset, the sky not directly darkened, because our planet has an atmosphere so that even though the sun is below the horizon (the west), there is still the reflected sunlight in the sky.

    From the astronomical side, there is light in the sky before sunrise and after sunset is called Twilight, which literally means "light between two", ie between day and night. In Arabic, "twilight" is called syafaq. Astronomically, there are three definitions of twilight:

    Civil Twilight, when the sun is 6 ° below the horizon
    Nautical twilight, ie when the sun is 12 ° below the horizon
    Astronomical Twilight, when the sun is 18 ° below the horizon

    Astronomers think "Twilight Astronomical evening" marks the beginning of the night; but this definition is for practical purposes only.

    Astronomically, the time is the inverse of the time Shubuh and Isha '. Toward morning, dawn marked by a towering light (vertical) on the eastern horizon; This is called "dawn kadzib". The light is then spread on the horizon (horizontally), and is called the "dawn shaddiq".

  • What Is Hell

    what and where is hell

    Hell is a place that must be believed by adherents of the religion or cult as a place of eternal suffering after death. This place was in nature that we can not predict now as a reward for people who deviate from religious rules. in Islam Hell is a place of torture for the creatures of God who rebelled. They are the ones who rebel against the Shari'a of Allah and deny the Holy Prophet. The word hell is often mentioned in the holy book the Qur'an and the numbers are very much at all. In Arabic called naar النار (an-nar).

    Anyone who put in hell, he will not come out of it. Hell has a door that stood firm and tightly closed. That is a prison for those who underestimate the news of the court hereafter. There are also people who go to heaven last time, after they were in torment in accordance with their sins which they had done. In the Qur'an mentioned the fuel of hell is men and stones (some are interpreting idols). The gate of Hell Angels led by Malik, who has 19 angels torturers in Hell, one of which is to be named in the Qur'an is Zabaniah.

    Although often described hell as a place of torture very hot, but there the weather becomes extremely cold hell. Mentioned in the Qur'an 38 : 57

    hell or heaven

    In the life of this world Allah The Almighty are given the freedom to the humans to choose between execute a command or away from restrictions. but in the life hereafter they will get revenge for what they have done. Peoples who trust and believe will get a decent place for what they have done and it's namely heaven. and People who do not believe will get the reward for what they do and there is Hell.

  • Types of punishment and torment in hell

    In the Hereafter the punishment of the Fire will undergo a very painful form of punishment. The torture they suffered in hell that a variety of once, as God hath spoken as follows:

    "In hell Jahannam, then burned them to her forehead, stomach and back." (At-Tauba [9]: 35)

    "When the shackles and chains placed around their necks, that they are dragged, into very hot water, then they burned in a fire." (Al-Mu'min [40] :71-72)

    "Seize him and drag him ketengah-center hell. Then pour over his head seksaan (from) very hot water. Taste, thou mighty man more noble." (Ad-Dukhan [44] :47-49)

    "Seize him and his hand belenggulah kelehernya. And then insert him into the fire of a burning hell. Then belitlah him with a chain seventy cubits long." (Al-Haqqah [69] :30-32)

    "The infidels will be made for them garments of fire, boiling water poured over their heads. With water luluhkan destroyed all that is in their bellies and their skins too. And the whip-whip of iron. Every time they want to get out of hell because of their misery, then they are returned to them, (and said unto them): "Taste the punishment of burning." (Al-Hajj [22] :19-22)

  • The Conception of God In the Islamic view, it is impossible for the human mind to form an adequate conception of God as He is in His eternal and absolute being. The creature cannot comprehend the Creator. According to the Qur'an, "No (human) vision encompasseth Him, yet He encompasseth (all) vision


    A further implication of the first part of the shahada is that there can be no power, force or agency in the heavens or on earth which is independent of God. Everything that exists -and everything that happens-is subject to His control; there is nothing that can compete with Him or that escapes His grasp, nothing that does not bear witness to His creative power and majesty.

    The Qur'an tells us: "Say: He is Allah. One, the utterly Selfsufficient: He begets not neither is He begotten, and there is nothing that is like unto Him". It tells us also that: "When He wills a thing to be. He but says unto it - Be!; and it is".

    It's a known fact that every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities. This is not the case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the One true God. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word god which can be made plural, gods or feminine, goddess. It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal name of God

    The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was asked by his contemporaries about Allah; the answer came directly from God Himself in the form of a short chapter of the Quran, which is considered the essence of the unity or the motto of monotheism. This is chapter 112 which reads:

    "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Say (O Mohammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and not anyone equal to Him ."

    In whatever way we translate these words, the essential concept is not in doubt. God is infinitely merciful, first in giving us life, and the means to enjoy life, secondly in caring for us and satisfying our legitimate needs. This concept is amplified by other divine names contained in the Qur'an. God is described as al-Karim, "the Generous", and as al-Wadud, "the Loving-Kind"; He is also al- Razzaq, "the Provider" who nourishes us both spiritually and physically

    The unique usage of Allah as a personal name of God is a reflection of Islam's emphasis on the purity of the belief in God which is the essence of the message of all God's messengers. Because of this, Islam considers associating any deity or personality with God as a deadly sin which God will never forgive, despite the fact He may forgive all other sins. The Creator must be of a different nature from the things created because if he is of the same nature as they are, he will be temporal and will therefore need a maker. It follows that nothing is like Him. If the maker is not temporal, then he must be eternal. But if he is eternal, he cannot be caused, and if nothing caused to come into existence, nothing outside him causes him to continue to exist, which means that he must be self-sufficient. And if he does not depend on anything for the continuous of his own existence, then this existence can have no end. Therefore The Creator is eternal and everlasting:

    "He is the First and the Last"

  • About islam Part I
    If we Says `Islam is a religion of peace 'it would be easy. To said that `Islam is a religion that brings peace to mankind it's unbelievably easy. than Says `Islamic principles, there is no compulsion in religion very easy. Says `Islam teaches mankind to respect others 'beliefs' are not difficult at all, you could say it a thousand times a day.

    You can declare repeatedly that the basic word `Islam 'is surrendered, and the core into Muslims is sincerity. But how could people believe that Islam is indeed noble, if the name of Islam, there are many Muslim groups complicates the Christians , jews, budhism, to worship?

    So..... What is islam according to the Holy Quran ..?

    Islam is The name of the religion for all mankind, Allah The Almighty said :

    This Day have I perfected your Religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam As your religion.  (Al Maidah : 3)

    In Other verse Allah The Almighty said : "Surely religion that blessed in the sight of Allah is Islam" (Ali 'Imran : 19)

    The first meaning of Islam is : A name of a religion, islam is a title , islam is a symbol , of a religion from god, there's no religion except islam. All The Prophet is a Muslim , All The prophet is worship to the same god, in this case Allah The Almighty said in the Quran :

    Ali 'Imran : 67. Ibrahim is A Muslim, Yunus : 84 : Musa (moses) is A Muslim, Etc

    Today there are more than one billion people from a vast range of races, nationalities and cultures across the globe are united by their common Islamic faith. About 18% live in the Arab world; the world's largest Muslim community is in Indonesia; substantial parts of Asia and most of Africa are Muslim, while significant minorities are to be found in the Soviet Union, North and South America, and Europe and America.

    Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people,  Islam today is in an internal conflict, the scholars are facing the problem between western secular culture and traditional Islamic culture. The growth of Islamic Fundamentalism is an attempt to reach back to the glories of Islamic history.

    The fundamentalist sees the problem with the failure of Islamic nations to live as the Quran commands. This view of not living the life required by Allah, as specified in the Quran and traditions and therefore being defeated by the West, is the spark of fundamentalism. Today in Islam there is a struggle between moderate and fundamentalist ideology.

    Understanding The Holy Book of the Islamic faith is just as important to understanding its history. The Holy book of Islam shape both the culture and philosophy of the Muslim world

    PLEASE ............. BE............... ONE GOD ONE RULES

    Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him).(QS 003.064)
