Like the brother witnessed battered beaten criminals , we then remain silent and instead try to prevent another brother to help him .
More than that , we even blame our brothers that will help it and judge it as childish , emotional , and ' do not use the brain ' ; while letting our brothers who battered it still beaten . Not enough with that , we then attempt to interpret the word ' help ' as the need to fight criminals , but enough to provide assistance in the form of food , medicine etc. . to our brothers who are victims of it .
More than that , we even arrested once beat up our brothers the other , even though they were just demanding our efforts to help you battered that naive ! However , something like that attitude shown by some Muslims today , especially the rulers and the ' intellectuals ' to prevent other Muslims who demanded jihad against the U.S. and its allies are already more than two weeks to slaughter Muslims in Afghanistan .
In this regard, Allah. says :
They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein.
(QS al-Baqarah [2]: 217).
Allah teaches the attitude in responding to the fact that this is jihad sabilillah. Essence of the Mighty God says :
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
(QS al-Baqarah 2:190).
Straightening Meaning of Jihad
Although it has been so obvious hostility unbelievers , especially those represented by the U.S. and its allies against Islam and Muslims , the attitude of some Muslims even appear weak and cowardly . After being insulted Muslims with terrorists and at the same time stamp fought by those who disbelieve , they instead defend themselves and defend their dignity and honor .
Instead , they both hide behind the clothes or on behalf of Islamic organizations themselves as intellectuals / scholars intentionally or not , has been slipping in the action bandwagon manipulate the meaning of jihad . In fact , even with jihad , dignity and honor of Islam and Muslims can be maintained .
In this case , they seem very tekstualistik - literalistik , which interpret the word jihad just from the language perspective alone , not from a broader perspective , the Shari'a . With that , as if they were telling the truth . In fact , they said no one else 's argument ; does not also refer them to the opinion of the mujtahid jurists or scholars credible .
They say that Jihad is a broad meaning . Its essence is in earnest. In tough economic times such as now , the most fitting jihad is the jihad against poverty . Jihad with their respective capabilities . Do not die stupid . With sadistic , they even say that those who interpret jihad as war is short-sighted ! Good Heavens !
By stating so , without conscious people as it has been labeled the Prophet. and his companions were most of his life after receiving the message of Islam earnestly struggle and jihad propaganda sabilillah as narrow-minded people . Na'ûdzu billahi forbid ! .
In fact , to understate the meaning of jihad in the perspective of law , namely war to uphold the sentence of God , they questioned , " Why do jihad against the unbelievers who are " lesser jihad " ( jihad ashghar ) is exaggerated , while the jihad against the passions which are " greater jihad " ( jihad akbar ) is not taken into account? "
In this case , they use the arguments in the form of the following Hadith :
" We returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad . " The companions asked , " What is the greater jihad ? Apostle replied , " Jihad against the passions . "
[ Muhammad as- Syuwaiki in the book Al - khalas Ikhtilaf wa an- Nas . p . 185 . ]
explained that there is a so-called jihad fighting lust , demons fighting jihad and the wicked . However , this kind of jihad is not more important than the jihad fighting the infidels . Not greater than Allah swt jihad fighting the infidels . Moreover, if to deny , and eliminate jihad fighting the infidels .
In fact , on the contrary , jihad fighting the unbelievers shall remain until the Day of Judgment , as jihad against lust . On this basis , the notion that lust fight jihad in Allah swt . more important and bigger than the jihad fighting infidels is very wrong . Such opinion is absurd and dangerous as well as deadly conflict with the understanding of jihad ( war ) in the path of Allah . Therefore , the opinion of this kind should be rejected for two reasons :
First , jihad payload containing two meanings : the meaning of language and meaning of the Shari'a .
Combat passions included into the definition of jihad in the language . In language , in the Dictionary of al - Muhith , jihad means sincerity ( juhd ) , the ability to bear the burden ( thâqah ) , and difficulty ( masyaqah ) . Ar - Razi said , " mujahadah origin he is juhd ( hard work ) were significantly masyaqah ( trouble ) . "
In the al - Majmu ' also mentioned , " Jihad is taken from the word juhd ( hard work ) were significantly masyaqah ( trouble ) . "
In the Sharh Saheeh al - Bukhari explained that jihad means masyaqah language ( trouble ) . In the book of al - Awthâr Nayl also mentioned that jihad means masyaqah ( difficulty ) . Meanwhile, Syar'i , in hasyiyah Book Radd al - Mukhtar stated that jihad is put all the potential to fight for Allah ; either directly or in indirectly such as through material support and contribute opinions, reproduce logistics , and others .
( See : Ibn Abidin , Radd al - Hasyiyah al - Mukhtar ) .
In the Sharh Saheeh al - Bukhari ( Fath al - Bari of Ibn Hajar al - Asqalani ) mentioned that in Syar'i jihad means to exert all seriousness in the fight against the infidels . Nayl in the works of Imam al - Awthâr Syaukani and ash- Sharh az - Zarqani also mentioned the same thing .
result , in the language , the meaning of jihad includes everything it contains in addition to the war . Instead , it Syar'i , jihad does not contain any meaning other than war . The big difference in the meaning of jihad requires no adjustment of any texts that contain mujahadah pronunciation jihad or particular meaning the charge between these meanings unless there is an indicator ( qarinah ) are shown.
And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.
(QS al-Anfal [8]: 39).
Prophet. also once said: Anyone who fight to uphold the sentence of God as a high sentence means he has been striving in the path of Allah.
There are many number of other texts that contain clear understanding about the fight against the infidels, the jihad in the sense of the Shari'a. Meanwhile, the implicit, but various indicators still show on the meaning of war, for example, are some of the following verses :
O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed.
(QS at-Taubah [9]: 73).
But the Messenger, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper.
(QS at-Taubah [9]: 88).
Waghluzh phrase 'alaiyim and amwâlihim wa bi anfusihim an indication (qarinah) which indicates that the jihad is mentioned in paragraph Sharai it is jihad, the fight against the infidels.
Prophet. also said: Jihad that has continued since I have been sent by Allah. until the last person among my people who fight against the Dajjal. Yuqâtila pronunciation is an indication (qarinah) which indicates that the meaning of jihad in the Hadith Sharai, namely fighting the infidels.
And if any strive (with might and main), they do so for their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all creation.
(QS al-Ankabut [29]: 6).
(QS al-Ankabut [29]: 6).
And those who strive in Our (cause),- We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right.
(QS al-Ankabut [29]: 69).
Prophet. also said : the greatest Jihad is the correct word is submitted to the evil ruler . The latter texts indicate jihad in the sense of language . Diference of jihad split into two , among others, based on the history of one of the above , namely :
when Aisha asked about the obligation of jihad women . The Apostle then said ( which means) , " There , but jihad warfare , ie Hajj and Umrah . "
Speech of the Prophet. This suggests that jihad can mean war , and could be without war . Jihad without war pengetian belong to the language , while jihad with war included in the definition of the Shari'a . Jihad without fighting the battle lust for instance , do good to two parents , correcting ruling , arguing against the disbelievers with proof , enjoining the good unjust , Hajj , etc. . Instead , jihad in the sense of war can be done by involving themselves directly in the war , providing assistance in the form of material or just think about strategy , delivered a speech to burn the spirit of the army , and other matters related to the war .
Second , the weak position of the hadith about the " lesser jihad " and " greater jihad " in terms of its riwayah and dirâyah . This hadith , in fact , is not seen as a viable postulate . It is at least based on the grounds that that the hadith mardûd ( rejected ) , both in terms of substance ( dirâyah ) and narration ( riwayah ) . In terms of transmission , this hadith status Da'eef / weak
( See : As- Suyuti , al - Jami ' al- Sagheer ) .
Meanwhile , in terms of substance , the understanding of these traditions at odds with a number of texts that require sabilillah jihad to fight the infidels , which it regarded as a very noble deeds . God , for example , spoke about the virtues of jihad :
Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-
(QS an-Nisa' [4]: 95).
God also praised the fighting jihad activity infidels, as his word :
Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
(QS at-Taubah [9]: 111).
(QS at-Taubah [9]: 111).
Instead, God denounces and threatens those who do not leave memerang jihad infidels, for example :
O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.
Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things.
(QS at-Taubah [9] : 38-39).
Many hadith texts that mention the virtues of jihad in the sense of fighting against the infidels, for example :
"The establishment of any one of you in sabilillah jihad is more important than his prayer in his house for 70 years. Precaution on the border with the state of kufr in jihad sabilillah better than the world and everything in it.
Thus, if there are people who continue to manipulate the meaning of jihad at the same propagating jihad against the passions that are more urgent than combating jihad infidels, it means it has been stuck in the confines of one's own desires are reluctant to fight against the infidels. In fact, not Allah has said :
Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
(QS al-Baqarah [2]: 216).
