Concept Bliss in Islam
Jul 21, 2008Always happy condition in situation anything, ad for is always pursued by human being. Human being wish happy life. Calm life, peaceful, peace, and secure and prosperous. Some people pursue blisses by dint of hard work to muster estae. He/She suspect that [at] is galore estae there are kebahagaiaan. There [is] pursuing bliss [at] throne, [at] power. Immeasurable [of] way he/she [do/conduct] to grab power. Because according to public opinion of power of identik with enjoyment and bliss in life. With power one can do many. Ill people suspect, ad for laying in health. Pauper suspect, ad for laying in properties estae. Ordinary people suspect bliss lay in power. And other prejudice.
Then what is so-called " happy' ( sa'adah / happiness)? During thousands of year, [all] thinkers have stired to discuss concerning bliss. Bliss are something which there [is] outside human being, and have the character of condition. Bliss have the character of very temporal. If him are glorious, hence there there [is] bliss. If is falling, hence losing bliss. Hence. according to this view [there] no endless bliss in human being [soul/ head]. That bliss is momentary in character, depended the condition of human being eksternal. This is psychological condition picture [of] West society as: " They always in a state of searching and pursuing bliss, without licking lips and remain to in a[n situation.
Islam express that " Prosperity' and " bliss" that [is] not refer to nature of mankind bodily and body, [is] not to x'self of hayawani the nature of basyari; and not also he/she is a[n situation of mankind hayali which can only enjoy in mere mind nature. Prosperity and that bliss refer to reality self-confidence will the searching absolute last ? namely: confidence in Rights of Ta'Ala ? and deed crop done by x'self pursuant to that confidence and listen go comand of his mind.' Become, bliss is the condition of liver which chockablock confidence ( and iman) have my behavior [to] as according to the confidence of that.
Bilal Bin Rabah feel happy can maintain the belief in God of though was in a condition tortured. Imam Abu Hanifah feel happy though have to isn't it to prison and beaten severely every day, because refusing to be lifted to become state judge. [All] prophet friends, volunteer leave the native land of for the shake of maintaining believe. They are happy. Life with confidence and run confidence.
And any kind of passed to you, hence that is enjoyment of earthly life and ornament of him. What is beside Allah is more everlasting and better. Do you [do] not comprehend him? According to al-Ghazali, culminate bliss [at] human being is if success him reach ma'rifatullah", have recognized Allah. Hereinafter, al-Ghazali express: " Know happy lah each;every something if/when us feel to enjoy, delicacy and easiness of hence feeling that [is] according to each feeling. Hence delicacy ( eye ) [is] see beautiful aspect, enjoyment of ear hear dulcet voice, that way also all other member and human being body.
There [is] even also delicacy of liver [is] ma'rifat to Allah, because liver made not other to remember God. A ordinary people will very happy if he/she earn herkenalan with a high pajabat or minister; that gladness;joy go up collapsible duplicate if he/she earn to meet superordinate again for example president or king. Hence of course get acquainted with Allah, is top from all kinds of gladness;joy. More than what which earn to be conceived by human being, because nothing that was higher the than dignity of Allah. And on that account [there] no more delicious ma'rifat than ma'rifatullah.
Ma'Rifalullah is the effect of science. Science capable to send human being to confidence. that no God besides Allah" ( Laa Ilaaha illallah). To that, to be able to reach for endless bliss, human being [is] obliged to recognize Allah. Its way, recognized apocalipse of allah, good [of] sentence of kauniyah sentence and of qauliyah. A lot of sentence sentences of al-Quran commanding human being pay attention and think of concerning universe phenomenon, including thinking of their/his self.
besides sentence of kauniyah. Allah also degrade sentence of qauliyah, in the form of apocalipse of verbal to prophet of allah last, that is Prophet of Muhammad. In consequence, in Qur'an Surah Ali Imran 18-19.
شَهِدَ اللّهُ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَأُوْلُواْ الْعِلْمِ قَآئِمَاً بِالْقِسْطِ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
[3:18] Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and (so do) the angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining His creation with justice; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise.
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللّهِ الإِسْلاَمُ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ الَّذِينَ أُوْتُواْ الْكِتَابَ إِلاَّ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْياً بَيْنَهُمْ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ فَإِنَّ اللّهِ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
[3:19] Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam, and those to whom the Book had been given did not show opposition but after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves; and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning.
Ad for referred [as] [by] science sending to bliss and civilization. Each;Every education institute. specially institute education of Islam. have to can send the academic person civitas of going to to endless and real bliss doorstep. real bliss is related/relevant [among/between] eternity/the beyond and world.
This criterion ought to be made [by] especial indicator, what is a[n success education program or [do] not. Efficacy of education in Islam [is] not measured from how much/many costly [of] school payment money him; how much/many a lot is accepted [by] [in] Colleges Of Country etcetera. But what is that education is childbearing [of] civilized human being which recognize the The infinite of and have religious service [to] to his Creator.
In consequence we understand, what a dangerous him understanding of relativisme truth spread by liberals. Because, this understanding [of] menggerus confidence of someone of truth. Confidence and believe is very costly estae in life. With that confidence, word of Igbal, prophet of Ibrahim volunteer plop down him into fire. Big poet [of] This Pakistan is last said the loss of confidence in an individual. worse than a[n slavery. As a Moslem, we of course hunger for such happy life; live in confidence: start recognized Allah and candid, accepting decision of Allah, candid to and also run Allah order.
We hunger for our x'self feel happy in running shalat, we is happy give or obtain cash for religious obligatory, we is happy have alms, we is happy help others, and happy to us even also run duty of amar ma'ruf nahimunkar. In a condition anything. hence " making happy your liver!" Don'T have sorrowed. " If rich thou. pleasing your liver! Because before opportunity unfolding you to do which is suli [pass/through] your estae." And if impecunious fakir thou, pleasing also your liver! Because thou have quit of a[n schizophrenia, disease of arrogancy which often befall plutocrat people. Pleasant [of] your liver for no people to malicious and malevolent to you again, cause poorness of you..."
" If thou forgotten [by] people, less celebrated, pleasing also your liver! Because tongue a lot [do] not inveigh yous, trap not many abusing yous..." hopefully Allah bestow us science sending us [at] a endless bliss and confidence, eternity/the beyond and world. Amen.
