JOM TADABBUR 15 - AL-BAQARAH 21-22


“Wahai sekalian manusia! Beribadatlah kepada Tuhan kamu yang telah menciptakan kamu dan orang-orang yang terdahulu daripada kamu, supaya kamu (menjadi orang-orang yang) bertakwa. Dialah yang menjadikan bumi ini untuk kamu sebagai hamparan dan langit (serta segala isinya) sebagai bangunan (yang dibina dengan kukuhnya) dan diturunkanNya air hujan dari langit, lalu dikeluarkanNya dengan air itu berjenis-jenis buah-buahan yang menjadi rezeki bagi kamu; maka janganlah kamu mengadakan bagi Allah, sebarang sekutu, padahal kamu semua mengetahui (bahawa Allah ialah Tuhan Yang Maha Esa).” (Al-Baqarah: 21-22)

Allah menyeru semua manusia tanpa mengira bangsa, tanpa mengira rupa dan tanpa mengira agama. Mereka diseru agar menyembahNya, Tuhan yang telah menciptakan mereka semua dan yang telah menciptakan orang-orang terdahulu daripada mereka, iaitu ibu bapa, datuk nenek serta moyang-moyang mereka.

Allah juga menciptakan langit, bumi dan segala isinya untuk kegunaan mereka. Malah penciptaan langit, bumi dan segala isinya jauh lebih lama daripada penciptaan manusia di muka bumi ini. Ertinya, sebelum manusia diciptakan, Allah telah mempersiapkan keperluan hidup mereka; bumi yang terbentang luas sebagai tempat tinggal, tanahnya yang subur dilitupi pelbagai jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan yang berwarna-warni. Di dalam perutnya pula terpendam pelbagai galian yang sangat berharga.
Langit yang teguh menaungi, dipenuhi dengan cakrawala yang pelbagai guna.
Semuanya diciptkan untuk kegunaan manusia supaya mereka dapat menjalani kehidupan yang sementara di dunia dengan sebaik-baiknya. “Dialah (Allah) yang menjadikan untuk kamu segala yang ada di bumi, kemudian Dia menuju dengan kehendakNya ke arah (bahan-bahan) langit, lalu dijadikannya tujuh langit dengan sempurna dan Dia Maha Mengetahui akan tiap-tiap sesuatu.” (Al-Baqarah:29)

Antara pengajaran yang dapat diambil daripada ayat ini:

Pertama – Allah adalah satu-satunya Pencipta sekelian makhluk. Justeru, hanya Dia yang layak disembah. Apa yang manusia sembah selainNya semuanya makhluk yang tidak mempunyai apa-apa kuasa dan tidak mempunyai apa-apa jasa dalam penciptaan dan penyediaan rezeki untuk kita. “Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): Sudahkah kamu mengetahui kekuasaan dan kelayakan makhluk-makhluk yang kamu jadikan sekutu-sekutu, yang kamu seru dan sembah selain Allah? Tunjukkanlah kepadaku apa yang mereka telah ciptakan dari bahagian bumi ini?. Atau adakah mereka mempunyai sebarang perkongsian (dengan Allah) dalam mencipta dan menguruskan langit? Atau pernahkah Kami memberi mereka sebuah Kitab (mengakui mereka menjadi kongsi Kami), maka (dengan itu menjadilah) perkongsian mereka berdasarkan keterangan yang terdapat dari Kitab itu? (Tidak ada sesuatu alasan pun) bahkan orang-orang yang zalim itu, terpedaya dengan kata-kata yang disebutkan oleh setengahnya kepada yang lain, kata-kata yang hanya menjanjikan perkara yang tidak benar.” (Fatir:40)

Kedua – Allah menyeru manusia agar menyembahNya dan mengemukakan dalil yang nyata kenapa mereka wajib menyembahNya. Begitulah halnya apabila kita hendak menyampaikan agama ini dan menyeru manusia kepada Islam, mestilah disampaikan dengan hujjah dan bukti yang jelas akan kebenarannya.

Ketiga – Seruan dalam ayat ini di tujukan kepada seluruh umat manusia. Kita sebagai umat Islam yang membaca al-Quran mengetahui seruan ini. Bagaimana halnya manusia yang belum Islam yang tidak membaca al-Quran? Mereka tidak mengetahui bahawa mereka diseru oleh Allah, Pencipta mereka. Siapa yang patut sampaikan?
Kitalah! Di sinilah letaknya tanggungjawab yang amat besar di atas bahu kita. Sampaikanlah seruan ini kepada seramai mungkin manusia. Jika tidak, apakah jawapan kita di hadapan Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla di akhirat kelak? Nabi s.a.w. sendiri telah berpesan maksudnya: “Sampaikanlah daripadaku walaupun satu ayat!” Riwayat al-Bukhari.


Ya Allah! Bantulah kami untuk menyampaikan seruanMu ini.

JOM TADABBUR 14 – SERUAN HAJI


“Dan serukanlah (wahai Ibrahim) umat manusia untuk mengerjakan ibadat Haji, nescaya mereka akan datang ke (rumah Tuhanmu) dengan berjalan kaki dan dengan menunggang berjenis-jenis unta yang kurus yang datangnya dari berbagai jalan (dan ceruk rantau) yang jauh.” (Al-Hajj:27)

Setelah Nabi Ibrahim a.s. selesai membina Kaabah bersama puteranya, Nabi Ismail a.s. Allah perintahkan baginda agar menyeru umat manusia datang mengunjungi rumah tersebut.

Ibn Kathir melaporkan bahawa apabila Nabi Ibrahim diperintahkan agar menyeru manusia, beliau berkata: “Ya Rabb, bagaimana aku hendak sampaikan kepada manusia sedangkan suaraku tidak sampai kepada mereka?”
Allah menjawab: “Serukanlah. Kami yang akan sampaikan seruanmu itu.”
Lalu Ibrahim berdiri di atas tempatnya yang dikenali sebagai Maqam Ibrahim, (ada pendapat mengatakan baginda berdiri di atas Hijir, di atas bukit Safa, di atas bukit Abu Qubais) dan berseru: “Wahai sekelian manusia, sesungguhnya Tuhan kamu telah menetapkan sebuah rumah, maka kunjungilah rumah ini.”
Dikatakan bahawa bukit bukau menunduk supaya tidak menjadi penghalang kepada suaranya sampai ke serata pelusuk dunia. Justeru, suaranya merentasi seluruh buana, didengari oleh bayi di dalam Rahim dan di dalam sulbi. Ia disahut oleh semua yang mendengar termasuk batu dan kayu serta orang-orang yang Allah telah tulis mereka akan datang menunaikan haji sehingga ke hari qiamat. Semuanya menyahut dengan lafaz “Labbaikallahumma Labbaik.”

Beberapa pengajaran dapat dipetik daripada apa yang diriwayatkan oleh Ibn Kathir daripada Ibn Abbas dan lain-lain ini:
1.    Haji adalah ibadah yang diwarisi turun temurun sejak zaman Abu al-Anbiaa’ Nabi Ibrahim a.s. Ia merentasi bangsa, masa, dan benua.
2.    Allah perintahkan Nabi Ibrahim a.s. supaya menyeru seluruh manusia mengungjungi RamahNya. Pada perkiraan Nabi adalah sukar atau hampir mustahil suaranya didengari oleh mereka yang diseru. Baginda bertanya: “Ya Rabb, bagaimana aku hendak sampaikan kepada manusia sedangkan suaraku tidak sampai kepada mereka?” Ini menunjukkan tidak salah bertanya untuk mendapatkan penjelasan, bukan untuk membantah. Sesungguhnya perintah Allah itu wajib ditaati, namun tidak bermakna kita tidak boleh bertanya. Kalau perintah Allah boleh ditanya untuk penjelasan, apa lagi perintah ketua yang merupakan manusia biasa? Tentulah boleh ditanya dan diminta penjelasan, bukan dengar dan taat membuta tuli.
3.    Allah perintahkan sesuatu yang zahirnya kelihatan seperti mustahil, bukan untuk mendera atau menyusahkan hambaNya. Dia hanya mahu kita patuh kepada perintahNya. Jika kita patuh, Dia beri kita pahala. Dia tidak menyoal kita tentang natijah pelaksanaan itu. Natijah adalah urusanNya. Lantaran itu, Allah menyuruh Nabi Ibrahim menyeru, sampai atau tidak seruan itu adalah urusan Dia semata-mata. Begitulah dalam berdakwah, tugas kita hanya menyampai, berusaha mengetuk hati manusia agar beriman. Yang memasukkan iman ke dalam hati mereka adalah Allah. Bukan kita.

4.    Ibn Kathir berkata, berdasarkan ayat ini sebahagian ulamak berpendapat menunaikan haji dengan berjalan kaki lebih afdhal bagi mereka yang mampu kerana Allah menyebut datang berjalan kaki terlebih dahulu daripada datang dengan menunggang kenderaan. Namun, kebanyakan ulamak berpendapat menaiki kenderaan lebih afdhal kerana mengikut perbuatan Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Baginda datang dengan menaiki kenderaan meskipun Baginda seorang yang memiliki kekuatan yang sempurna.

JOM TADABBUR 12 – KEPENTINGAN TABAYYUN


Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a. Nabi s.a.w. bersabda maksudnya: "Sesungguhnya seseorang itu bercakap dengan satu perkataan yang dia tidak tabayyun apa yang terkandung di dalamnya, menjunamkan dia ke dalam neraka dengan sebab perkataan itu, lebih jauh daripada jarak antara timur dengan barat!" Hadis sahih dikeluarkan oleh al-Bukhari, Muslim dan Ibn Hibban.

Hadis yang sangat ringkas, jelas dan tidak perlu diulas.
Kini, hujung jari turut mengambil peranan lidah. Kata-kata bukan hanya keluar dari bibir, malah lebih tajam apabila diketuk oleh hujung jari.
Maka jangan biarkan diri binasa dek sepatah kata. Di dalam hadis yang diriwayatkan daripada Mu'az bin Jabal r.a. Nabi s.a.w. bersabda maksudnya: "Sesungguhnya kamu tetap berada dalam keadaan selamat selagi kamu diam. Apabila kamu bercakap, ditulis kata-kata itu. Mungkin ia menguntungkan kamu atau mecelakakan." Hadis sahih riwayat at-Tirmizi dan at-Tabrani.


Nota: tabayyun bermaksud, selidik untuk mempastikan sesuatu perkara itu betul atau tidak.

JOM TADABBUR 13 – KEINDAHAN AKHLAK MUSLIM


Daripada Anas bin Malik r.a. Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda maksudnya:
“Antara hak muslimin yang wajib ke atas kamu ialah EMPAT perkara:
-       menolong mereka jika mereka berbuat baik
-       memohon ampun jika mereka berdosa
-       berdoa untuk mereka yang berpaling dari kebenaran dan enggan menegakkannya
-       mencintai dan menyayangi mereka yang bertaubat.”
Riwayat ad-Dailami dengan sanadnya.

Subhanallah, betapa indahnya akhlak muslim yang diajar oleh Nabi kita s.a.w.
Sesungguhnya muslim tidak sunyi daripada empat keadaan di atas, iaitu muslim yang baik, muslim yang melakukan dosa dan maksiat, muslim yang berpaling tadah atau yang berubah haluan dari baik kepada jahat atau kurang baik dan muslim yang insaf dan bertaubat daripada dosa-dosa yang lalu.
Nabi s.a.w. mengajar kita menghadapi semua kategori itu dengan akhlak yang mulia, sikap yang positif serta membantu mereka istiqamah di atas  jalan yang benar dan lurus serta kembali ke jalan itu jika telah tersasar.

Yang baik, kita tolong dan bekerjasama dengannya.
Yang berdosa, sedarkan dan mohon ampun untuknya
Yang berubah, ajak dan berdoa supaya dia kembali kepada kebenaran
Yang bertaubat, terima dengan dada yang lapang. Tunjukkan kegembiraan kita terhadap kepulangannya dan jangan ungkit atau sebut-sebut lagi kisah silamnya.

“TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD: THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT”

Thu Al-Kedah 1st, 1436 H
Corresponding to August 15th, 2015

Statement on behalf of Muslim Scholars' Associations and Islamic Organizations, on the New Agenda for the UN General Assembly Special Session, to be held in Sept. 25- 27, 2015, titled:
“TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD: THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT”
Praise be to Allah, and prayer and peace be upon the final Messenger of Allah; Muhammad, and upon his family and companions and all those who follow his noble guidance until the Day of Judgment.
The whole world is looking forward to the New Agenda, which the United Nations and its bodies announced launching in the high-level meeting of the General Assembly, to be held in New York from 25 to 27 September 2015, titled “TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD: THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT”. The Preamble of the new Agenda stated that: “We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind”.
Although the New Agenda contains many important developmental items, it regrettably still involves the same contentious and controversial issues which have been replicated in all the previous relevant UN documents concerning development, population, women, etc., which resulted the impossibility of the full implementation of those documents as a result of the objections and reluctance of many governments and peoples on those issues[1]. Therefore the impossibility of the full implementation of the new Agenda remains a reality, although item (5) claims that it is: “…accepted by all countries and applicable to all”.
The main reservations of Muslim Scholars' Associations & Islamic Organizations on the New Agenda are as follows:
First: the insistence on providing sexual and reproductive health services for all, universally, including for family planning, information and education[2] (regardless of and with no mention of the age or marital status), and “the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programs”[3], “as agreed in accordance with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the Beijing Platform for Action and the outcome documents of their review conferences”[4].
And thus the unmarried, as well as children and adolescents get all the information and services which enable them to prevent pregnancy, which is considered a green light for practicing adultery, especially with the reference to the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development[5], which stipulated that “sexually active adolescents will require special family-planning information, counselling and services, and those who become pregnant will require special support from their families and communities during pregnancy and early child care. Adolescents must be fully involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of such information and services with proper regard for parental guidance and responsibilities”.[6]
It is worth mentioning that the Secretary-General’s report encourages countries which “provide comprehensive sexuality education[7], including learning about consent and respectful and equal relationships, is also being provided by states to address violence against girls in schools.[8]
In addition to the international pressure for legalizing abortion, the report of the International Conference on Human Rights entitled “ICPD Beyond 2014”, which was held in the Netherlands, July 2013, has condemned “the existence of criminal laws against sexual and reproductive rights, including laws criminalizing same-sex consensual relations, adultery, sex work, undocumented migrants, people living with HIV, access to information about sexuality, and access to safe[9] abortion services”.[10] The conference stressed the need to ensure people’s access to the widest possible range of contraceptive methods, including emergency contraception, as well as to safe abortion services. The need to provide adolescents and youth with comprehensive sexuality education was emphasized[11].
While these documents consider restricting “sexual freedoms for all” as human rights violation, they turn a blind eye to the flagrant violations such as killing, burning, and systematic rape, torture, and arbitrary arrests which happen regularly to Muslim women and girls in many parts of the world, such as Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Burma, Egypt, and Central Africa where girls are deprived of the most basic human rights—namely the right to life.
Second: Adoption of Gay rights through the application of “Gender[12]Equality”, and stressing on its integration within the global system of human rights. Also stressing the link between Gender equality and achieving sustainable development;
The Secretary-General's reports show the continued support of the United Nations to gay rights, and the determination of the removal of all obstacles to those rights. The most recent reports is the one titled: “The Road to Dignity by 2030: Ending Poverty, Transforming All Lives and Protecting the Planet” which states: “An enabling environment under the rule of law must be secured for the free, active and meaningful engagement of civil society and of advocates, reflecting the voices of women, minorities, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups…”[13]. The repeated support of the Secretary-General to “Gay Rights” is quite clear in several reports and on several occasions[14].
The integration of “gender equality” in the New Agenda over several paths[15], also specified in goal (5) of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) which stipulates: “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”, indicates that the issue of gender equality and subsequent approval of gay rights, is a core issue that the UN is targeting to resolve globally through this “New Agenda”. [16] Which is emphasized under the title "New Agenda” that: The systematic mainstreaming of a gender perspective in the implementation of the Agenda is crucial[17].
Before the UN General Assembly Special Session is held, several events were held by LGBTs simultaneously all over the world, which were covered by media and the social media networks, to deliver a clear message that homosexuality has become a reality, and gays have all the right to choose their gender identities and their sexual orientation, under the protection of international law, and within the international human rights system[18].
On the other hand, the “New Agenda” calls for banning 3 different types of marriage: child marriage, early marriage and forced[19] marriage[20]. Since, according to UN conventions, childhood ends at 18; then “early marriage” is meant to start after the age of 18. This means that the “New Agenda” calls for banning marriage not only for teens (under 18) but also for youth while at the same time advocating adultery and homosexuality as human rights and fundamental freedoms for all!
This question then imposes itself: “What will society benefit by banning marriage for teens and youth while allowing them to commit adultery and homosexuality under the law?”
Third: Claiming to change laws and legislations (including family laws) considering any difference in legislation as "discriminatory laws"[21], in order to apply complete and full equality:
Islam guarantees equality for women in all spheres of life while at the same time maintains the distinction between men and women in terms of responsibilities and rights within the family ensuring their complementary roles which guaranties family cohesion and supports the family’s role in building a strong and healthy community.
While the New Agenda demands bypassing all attributes and applying complete and full equality, then changing all laws and legislation that respect such attributes labeling them as “discriminatory laws”, the Muslim Scholars' Associations & Islamic Organizations cannot accept any demand that may threaten the family’s cohesion. The New Agenda’s demand of changing "discriminatory laws" includes:
-       Complete equality in marriage and divorce legislations. [22]
-       The abolition of guardianship, and the abolition of stewardship and replace them with full partnership and equal sharing in all family responsibilities[23].
-       Equality in inheritance which New Agenda includes within its claims of equality in the Goals: (1.4) and (5.a) of the Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs] and is also emphasized by the Secretary-General of the United Nations in several reports[24].
-       Gender Equality means all (genders) are equal (straight and gay) in rights and obligations. As the wife inherits her husband, a gay may also inherit his/her partner. Also, their adopted children, may inherit them. The gay couple will also receive all social guarantees, securities and safeguards received by straight couples, etc.
Forth: The international mandate to implement the New Agenda by 2030. This mandate is repeated frequently. For example, the Report of the International Conference on Human Rights “ICPD Beyond 2014” “reaffirmed that rights related to sexuality and reproduction are universal human rights, to which all people are entitled irrespective of race, sex, ethnicity, religion, political or other opinion, or any other status; that all States have obligations to ensure these rights..”[25].
The New Agenda also states that: “the Agenda will be implemented in a manner that is consistent with the rights and obligations of states under international law[26], and “will guide the decisions we take over the next fifteen years”.[27] In a clear contradiction with items (10, 30, 38) in the Agenda which states that: “The New Agenda is guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations”, while the UN Charter states that: “Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state”[28]
While at the same paragraph where the Agenda states: “respecting national policies and priorities”, it also states that: “The SDGs and targets are integrated and indivisible, global in nature and universally applicable”[29]. This means that there should not be any reservations on any of those goals, even if they are conflicted with religions or with basic values and morals, without which Nations collapse and that what makes "respecting RELIGIONS, national policies and priorities" conditional to fully achieving the SDGs.
Likewise, what is stipulated in Goal (16.10) of the SDGs: “protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements”, is self-contrasting, because the term “Basic freedoms” is so broad that it includes, according to the New Agenda and the reports and documents which it recalls:  sexual freedom, freedom to choose "gender identity" and "sexual orientation", which is in contradiction to many countries’ national legislations!
Under this extreme contradiction, it is impossible to combine "fundamental freedoms" from the international perspective, and "national legislations" in one frame unless they become compatible.
So, will the conservative countries change their national laws to conform to the international conventions, or, will the United Nations decide to respect the cultural diversity of the peoples of the earth, and their right to formulate their own national laws?
Demands of Muslim Scholars' Associations & Islamic Organizations:
First: We ask the United Nations Organization and its subsidiary bodies to respect the will of the people and the moral and ethical organizations upon which they are based and that effectively keep international peace and security.
Second: Islamic nations are urged to take a united and decisive stand about the international documents related to population and women and children and to reject all what is contrary to Islamic legislation in the document “TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD: THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT” or any subsequent documents laid for discussion or signature.
Third: Strengthening government’s positions to adhere to the reservations and preserve religious identity and national sovereignty.
Fourth: The United Nations Organization is requested to take serious steps and processes to remove actual violence toward women and girls in all areas where they are exposed, like: murder, arson, arrests, torture, and systematic rape.
