TO BE THE BEST MUSLIM

As an adherent of Islam, it is not wrong to reflect on the qualities of faith and Islam we have today. In fact, such musings are usually always churning in us to be able to appear to be the best in God's sight. This is a necessity. Because, oftentimes, the majority of these people have felt enough and are satisfied with the worship he has done. Or, because of environmental factors that have been conditioned in such a way, so arises feeling lazy and reluctant to perform muhasabah for faith and Islam that reside in our hearts.

We have understood that faith always has its ups and downs. Faith increases with obedience and diminishes with immorality. Therefore, the Prophet motivated his people to always renew their faith by performing the worship that has been recommended in Islam, which is in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah.

A good Muslim, should always improve the quality of his worship. The Messenger of Allah reminded, "Whoever his charity today is worse than yesterday, then he cursed." Whoever is today is the same as yesterday, he is a loser, and who is better today than yesterday, then he is one of the lucky ones. " (Narrated by Bukhari).

The above hadith should be a whip for us to always do good deeds and try to improve it every time. Therefore, it is not surprising that in one verse Allah commands believers to return to faith. This command shows that beliefs belonging to believers still have many shortcomings and weaknesses, so it must always be fixed and improved again to be better than ever.

Fortify ourselves with Faith

Recent technological developments, making the vast world in this globalization era narrow, narrow and limited. This change certainly has a positive and negative impact on the survival of a Muslim. The negative effects of change and the shift of the times are capable of shaking, shifting, and eroding moral values and faith. In fact, further than that can destroy the future and human civilization.

Therefore, a Muslim must fortify himself with strong faith and Islam. Without a strong faith the life of a Muslim will be swayed and can lead to destruction. Faith is a lamp, a light and a guide on a straight path.


Being the Best Muslim

Time travel must have a positive direction for the Muslims, that is how we are able to come forward, become a pious individual figure, and able to be role models and role models for others. A friend once asked the Messenger of Allah, "What is the best Muslim?" The apostle replied, "That is a Muslim who makes Muslims or others safe from interruption, verbal evil, and his hands." (Muslim).

The best Muslims as asserted above hadith are those who are able to keep verbal, able to restrain themselves and their actions not to harm others, not to oppress and to persecute His creatures. They are profiles of individuals who are able to create tranquility, peace, can preserve the creation of God and keep it from harm.

A true Muslim is a survivor in the world and the hereafter and is able to save others. Rasulullah likens the life of a Muslim like a bee, which just suck the essence of a beautiful flower and fragrant fragrant flower, to produce only something of great benefit for humans, namely honey. The implicit meaning, a Muslim wherever he is and wherever should benefit others, does not become waste and harmful parasites.

The best Muslims are those who benefit others. His presence is always awaited, his kindness is always given to anyone indiscriminately, happy to help the hard unconditional. Because of that people always crave and always safe to live with him.
In another context, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) explained that good Muslims are those who are old and then do good deeds. Day after day is always filled with unremitting worship performance. In addition, the Qur'an has clearly explained that the criteria of the best people are those who are able to establish amar makruf nahi mungkar and believe in Allah.

So, let us rise from adversity. We must be able to appear to be useful individuals. Having affection to God's creatures, able to be role model, spread goodness, worship a lot, be cautious to Allah, and have commitment to uphold amar makruf nahi mungkar.
