Jihad with the Qur'an to Reach the Glory of the People

We have just finished the month of Ramadan with wisdom and togetherness. Hopefully the spirit of Ramadan will always be burning in our hearts, so that Muslims in Indonesia will lessen the problems, such as the rise of heresy, economic downturn, bribery, corruption, and so on.

The question now is what causes all this? Why the problems that accumulate still envelop us? Jama'ah all, the answer is very clear, that we are far from light and light. The more we move away from these lights and lamps, the farther we are from the right path, and the deeper we are also trapped in the black aisle of misguidance and misery.

That light is the Qur'an and the Pelita is As-Sunnah.

Allah Almighty says: "O mankind, indeed has come to you the proof of truth from your Rabb (Muhammad by miracle) and We have sent down to you a bright light (al-Qur'an)." (Surat al-Nisa ': 174 ).

If a man shrinks away from this light and lamp, the poisonous arrows and the lust will stick to his soul so easily, that he loses his religious sanity, becomes insane to the world, loses his self-control and ultimately fears death, pseudo-pleasures in this perishable world.

This condition that makes the enemy lost his fear to us, no longer afraid to menzalimi our brothers. The Messenger of Allah said:

"Almost (the time is coming) all the nations will besiege you from all sides like those who eat around their plates."
 The Companions asked: "Because we are the least bit that day?" Rasulullah sallallaahu 'Alayhi wasallam said: "The number of you at that time much. but you are just like froth and garbage brought by the flood. Fear has been lifted from the hearts of your enemies and in your heart Wahn laid. "

They asked: "What is Wahn?"

Rasulullah sallallaahu 'Alayhi wasallam replied: "The love of the world and the fear of death." (HR Ahmad).

In another hadith the Prophet sallallaahu 'Alayhi wasallam reminds us:
"If you have bought and sold by the way of al-'Inah (riba), or you (only) follow the cows (hijackers), and have ridha (feel enough) by just farming, so you leave jihad, then Allah will bring upon you the shame that He will not revoke until you return to your religion. "(Narrated by Abu Daud).

Does this condition discourage us? Does this condition make us pessimistic?

No, not again! It is precisely this condition should encourage us to rise, motivating us to re-empower all the potential of the people that are available.

We should not fall asleep in the traps of God's enemies, Allah calls us to rise up against them by the Qur'an. Yes, the first step that must be swung is jihad with the Qur'an. Allah says:

 "Then follow thou the Gentiles, and strive with it (the Qur'an) with great jihad." (Surah Al Furqan: 52)

Jihad with the Qur'an means:

1. Learn to read it correctly in earnest, inflame the spirit of recitation of the Qur'an at all levels and all circles without exception.

 The Messenger of Allah said: "Read the Qur'an, for the Qur'an will come on the Day of Judgment as a giver of intercession for those who read it." (Muslim).

2. Giving the memorizers of the Qur'an (hafizh / hafizhah) with earnest effort, the Qur'an resides within their bosoms, heard from their oral tongues, and manifest in their daily deeds.

  Allah says: "Actually, the Quran is the real verses in the chests of those who are given knowledge and no one denies our verses except those who do wrong." (Surat al-'Ankabut: 49).

3. A genuine and continuous effort to stay alive in the Qur'an, to explore the depth of its meaning, to bring the heart to its full recitation.

 Allah says: "Do they not then pay attention to the Qur'an or are their hearts locked up" (Surah Muhammad: 24).

Tadabbur Al-Qur'an will open the heart and mind to find solutions of all problems. Allah says: "This is a Book which We send unto you full of blessings that they may hearken unto his verses and that those who have a mind shall learn." (Surah Shaad: 29).

4. The struggle to translate the Qur'an in life, practice and enforce the laws of God in it. If oral we must correctly recite the verses, then our body must also properly carry out those verses. Allah says:
 "Verily, this Qur'an gives guidance to the (path) that is more upright and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that for them there is a great reward." (Surat al-Isra ': 9).

5. Da'wah and convey the teachings of the Qur'an to all mankind. Allah says:

"Messenger of Allah, deliver what is revealed to you from your Lord. And if you do not do (what it is commanded, it means) you did not deliver His message. God keeps you from (disturbing) man. Allah hath not guided the unbelievers. "(Surah Al-Ma'idah: 67).

Da'wa is the way of the prophets and messengers of Allah's messengers, preaching means walking their way, applying the path of the Prophet Muhammad under the auspices of the Qur'an.

Jihad with the Qur'an is a great jihad, for this is what will prepare the birth of khayru ummah (the best people) that uphold Islam and Qur'an leadership and bring prosperity and tranquility not only for Muslims but for the whole universe, as it has been recorded in history with golden ink, since the generation of companions over the centuries.

At the end of this sermon, we order the leaders of the nation, to fear Allah in the care of the 250 million servants of God in this country. Make the Qur'an as a guideline, As-Sunnah as a light, otherwise the tribulation has been waiting in this world before in the afterlife. Allah says: "And whoever turns away from My warnings, for him is a narrow life and We will raise him on the Day of Judgment in a state of blindness." (Surah Thaha: 124).

To the muslims, the hope of the good of this nation also rests on you, good and bad this people is in your hands. Take care of your honor, wear your true shar'i hijab, not to the extent of fashion, so to become a show of aurat in another form.

To the wives, be a harbor of heart for your husband, berths, and lara. Be a true wife whose love for husband for God, obey him in obedience to God.

To the youth, you are the hope of the people and the nation! Be a tough young believer!

To our fathers and mothers, be present in the days and in the soul of your baby. Be present with the Qur'an, come with a soul-filled love to lead them into the real mujahid and mujahidah.
