Proud to be muslim

Among the countless blessings for us all is ni'matul form or enjoyable life. That we identified as one of His creatures that live in the glory of this universe. This life gives us the rights incredible amount after Allah swt give existence / presence of ourselves in life.

The gift of a second, ni'matul beings, the fact that we are human beings defined as having advantages, advantages in physical and spiritual structure than other creatures.

The third bounty, ni'matul 'aql or intellect gift. Allah swt give us the ability to read and write, the ability to explain, the power to understand His verses express and implied, among His Signs is the phenomenon that is not written in this universe.

More than that, there is a much greater gift. Namely, ni'matul ilal guidance of Islam (the gift of guidance to be a Muslim). This favors the noblest and most valuable.

And this is not God give to all men, but only to us.

"Indeed enjoyment of religion only I give to the servant who I choose from KU servants who Salih." (Al Hadith).

Therefore we must be thankful for this blessing. This is the only way that God gave to us so that we get good / the glory of the world and the Hereafter.

"If you're thankful for my blessings, would I add. But if ye deny My favor, know that my adzab definitely painful. "(Surah Ibrahim (14): 7)

Grateful for favors Islamic guidance in several ways.

First, be grateful for this favor by growing feeling that we are proud and honored by Muslims. We should feel proud, confident that we are Muslims. Tell everyone with great pride, "I am a Muslim. I am the people of monotheism. I am the people of the Qur'an. I am the people of Muhammad. "


Formerly the friends are very proud to be Muslim. They say, "My father is a Muslim. No more than Islam. If people are proud of the tribe, nation, group, clan, society, understand them, but I'm proud nasabku is Islam.

Once Salman Al-Farisi radi anhu asked, "Descendants Who are you?" Salman the plume has become Muslim, said he was not Persian descent, but he said aloud, "I am the son of Islam." This is why the Messenger of Allah declared that, "Salman is part of our family, part of the family of Muhammad. "

قل يا أهل الكتاب تعالوا إلى كلمة سواء بيننا وبينكم ألا نعبد إلا الله ولا نشرك به شيئا ولا يتخذ بعضنا بعضا أربابا من دون الله فإن تولوا فقولوا اشهدوا بأنا مسلمون

"Say, O People of the book let to a sentence (assessments) that there is no dispute between us and you that we do not worship except Allah and we do not associate him with nothing and not (also) some of us take others as a god other than Allah . If they turn away, say, that we are the ones who surrendered (to Allah). " (Surah Ali Imran (3): 64).

And when he felt a disavowal of them (the Children of Israel), he said, Who is to be helpers to (uphold religion) of Allah? the disciples (loyal companions) said: We are helpers (religion) of Allah. "We believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are indeed those who surrendered." (Surah Ali Imran (3): 52).

We should be proud that we are Muslims. Due to the fact that Islam was revealed as a mission in which Muhammad as His messenger, also descended to earth with the aim of spreading the love. Therefore we must be proud, because we are the ones who dinanti-nanti/dirindukan by mankind. We are a mercy for the universe. We like water missed by those who thirst thirst. We are the food that is being dreamed by people who are hungry. We are thabib been waiting for the patient.

Another fact, we should be proud to be Muslim, is that we have a holy book. The Qur'an itself has guaranteed that this book can not be tarnished. Not one letter or even a point that will change the sanctity of the Koran that it is definitely looking after by God. Because it's the truth of the Qur'an will remain immortal. Al-Qur'an in Indonesia is the Qur'an that exists and is read by our brothers on the other face of the earth. Al-Quran is printed in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt is the Qur'an that are printed around the world. Therefore, we have a very strong reason that we're the party most entitled to convey the truth of God to all mankind.

Being grace

We are the mercy to all mankind. Mercy for the far and near. Grace in a state of peace and a state of war. Grace for Muslims and Moslem. Grace to man and beast. Grace for Muslims and non-Muslim. Grace to our social environment. Al-Quran itself which consists of 114 letters, all beginning with the letter Bismillahirrahmanirrahim except at Taubah. This suggests that the nature of the salient, and rub off on Allah is Ar Rahman and Ar-Rahim. His great mercy, His grace is always flowing, wetting the entire universe. We model the Messenger of Allah in his life fairy has attitude affection. Thus we glorify Allah by the Qur'an and His Prophet.

Try to pay attention, never in a battle of the Prophet saw there was a woman who took part were killed. Then he said to his companions, "There's no way this woman go to war so that he does not deserve the kill." Such grace of Islam in the war. Prophet forbade his followers to kill women, children, parents, clergy, destroying places of worship, cutting trees. War is an abomination in the case of Islam, although the war as a forced reality in life. That is why Islam explains that we are a blessing to humans even if we fight.

No man who loves war. No man is ever happy with bloodshed. Therefore, when the Messenger of Allah there is a chance to kill his opponents in Mecca Fathu events (the liberation of Makkah), but it was never done by him. When all the people of Quraysh gathered around the Grand Mosque as the losing party, the Prophet asked them, "What do you expect that I will do to you?" The people of Quraish were bowed by saying, "We thought you would be doing something good for us because you are our brother noble (karim akhun), "Then the Messenger of Allah said to them," idzhabu faantum thulaqa '. laa yatsriba 'alaikumul yaum. (Today there is no grudge. Today you are free to all. Go and everything, you are free.

Look at how Allah shows compassion, sincerity and passion. Compare with the caricature portrayed by those Danish cartoons of the Prophet with depicting the Prophet surrounded by women while wielding a sword. That is just the opposite (contradictory) with the glory and love of the Prophet. As it turns out the facts of history show the Prophet actually able to bring compassion to the situation he was able to do anything against his enemies.

When we are grateful for the favors of the obligation of Islam, then we should be proud of Islam, and that means we have istiqamah and consistent and consistent with Islamic teachings. Not just with words that we are Muslims, but we must practice what is taught by Islam. Islam must be coloring our lives, the way we think, behave, feel, and in all our life style everything. Islam as the sole director in all aspects of our lives. Aspects of ideology, political, social, economic, cultural and defense security.

If life is not accompanied by Islam will make the pursuer disappointment and lifelong regret will occur.

Let us make Islam as our flesh and blood of our identity. This is where the secret glory, glory, and our victory in micro and macro. Islamic Show us with any shape, personality, behavior, work and relationships. Anywhere and anytime. For, if the Muslims was proud of his Islamic, that's where one of the early indications of Islamic decline occurred. And Allaah knows best.

Tattoos and Operation Beauty is not allow in the Islam

To appear beautiful or pretty, someone to decorate the body with certain images. Lately, the trend of using tattoos also occur in many women. But few people know, that ornament tattoo is forbidden in Islam.

Dr. Yusuf Qaradawi, in his book entitled "Halal Haram in Islam" (translated publisher Era Intermedia) said that illicit tattooing body and hone teeth (pangur).

According to Qaradawi, "Messenger of Allah. cursed women who tattooed, who asked tattooed, which memangur, and yanng ask dipanur. "

In the tattoo, there was the conversion of the face and hand painting in blue and the ugly. Most Arab societies are very much in this respect, especially among women. They painted most of his body. In addition, the adherents of most religions also depict gods and their religious symbols, as we see on the Christians. They paint a picture of the cross hands and chest.

Besides the damage, coupled with the pain and torture because of using a needle puncture in the body of the tattooed. All that the cause of the decline of tattooing kepadda curse and ask tattooed.
While pangur, which sharpens or shorten teeth, the Messenger of Allah. has cursed the women who memangur and who asked dipangur. Had it did that of men, of course laknatnya greater.
As the Messenger of Allah. proscribe pengikiran teeth, he also forbid tafalluj (spacing) of teeth.

"And he cursed women who space their teeth so neatly, that changed God's creation." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim from the hadeeth of Ibn Mas'ud.)

Al-mutafallijat is women who ask dijarangkan spacing or teeth. Among the women there that were created with similar teeth, but many others do not. They hone the crevices of teeth that were created to be a rare meeting. According to these scholars, the act is clearly to deceive others and excessive in the ornate, contrary to the Islamic character.

Based on these saheeh hadiths, we know the practice of Shari'a law commonly known as "cosmetic surgery" as a product of civilization that worships physical and lust. Namely materialist Western civilization. You see for yourself how male or female spent hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars just to change the shape of the nose or breasts, and the like. All of that including the people cursed God and His Messenger, because torturing people and change God's creation without the right reasons, just because excessive attitude in regard of birth and physical appearance, rather than attention to the nature and the spiritual.

Another case when there are defects that interfere with, such as a painful tumor, either biological or psychological, especially if the patient was in an assembly or a specific place. In this case, it does not matter if he is treating, for the purpose of treatment is to eliminate the difficulties that disrupt their lives. Verily Allah swt. do not make trouble in this religion.

That reinforces this opinion is perhaps the word that has cursed the women who are spacing the teeth for the purpose of beauty. Understood from the hadith that is disgraceful if he did not do it for other purposes except for beauty and beauty. Had he done it with the intention of relieving pain certainly is not why .*
