The science of kalam (Pen and Book) in Islam

  • 0


For those of you who want to know why in the world the Wali Allah (the people of Prophet Muhammad guards) :


Behold! verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve;

[Yunus 10:62]




Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour !"

[An Naml 27:40]


If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.

[Ar Ra'd 13:31]

This is one proof why we as the people of the prophet Muhammad is said to be always patient, and is said to always delighted with trials given. One of the indirect lessons of GOD in this world is through a person, both close relatives, distant relatives, friends, and even people unknown Wali Allah:

We broke them up into sections on this earth. There are among them some that are the righteous, and some that are the opposite. We have tried them with both prosperity and adversity: In order that they might turn (to us).

[Al A'raaf 7:168]


Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere,

[Al Baqarah 2:155]


They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have none, save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom."

[Al Baqarah 2:32]


Among the lessons to be drawn from the above paragraph is : 

His knowledge that all living creatures on earth and in the sky are the teachings of Allah, including the knowledge possessed by humans. Thus, we say that all human knowledge is owned by Pen Science, the science that comes from God Almighty. A question arises, what exactly is the nature of science laduni according to the Islamic view? is often understood as Sufis during this or is there another meaning is more correct.


Understanding Science Qalam 


According to Abu Hamza As-Sanuwi, Science laduni in a general sense is divided into two parts. First, the knowledge gained without learning (wahbiy). Secondly, the knowledge gained from studying (kasbiy). 

The first part : 

The first section, divided into two kinds : 

1. Syar'iat science, the science of God's commands and prohibitions which must be submitted to the Prophets and Messengers by way of revelation (revelation tasyri '), either directly from God and those that use the mediation of the angel Gabriel. So all the revelations received by the prophet since the Prophet Adam peace be upon our prophet Muhammad to alaihi wasallam is the science Qalam including those received by Prophet Moses Prophet Khidlir. Allaah says about Khidhir:

So they found one of Our servants, on whom We had bestowed Mercy from Ourselves and whom We had taught knowledge from Our own Presence.

[Al-Kahfi  18:65]


In the hadith of Imam Al- Bukhari , the Prophet peace be upon Khidlir Moses said to the Prophet peace be upon :

" Actually I was on a knowledge of the science of God which He has taught me that you do not know . And thou ( also ) be above of science knowledge of God which He taught you that I did not know it too . "

Science is its absolute truth Shari'ah , must be learned and practiced by every death comes mukallaf until his death .

2 . Ma'rifat science ( nature ) , which is the science of something unseen through the streets Kashef ( revelation inspiration / opening the curtain unseen ) or ru'ya ( dream ) given by God to His servants are faithful and righteous .

Kashef science and this is what is known by the nickname " the science of the Pen " among experts tasawwuf . The nature of science is not to be believed or practiced when violated Shari'ah knowledge already contained in the Mushaf Al - Quran and hadith books . Violated here can be shaped oppose , increase or decrease .

Part Two :

The second part is the science of God is given to all His creatures through the streets kasb ( business ) as of the results of reading , writing, listening , researching , thinking and so forth .

Of the three sciences ( shari'ah , ma'rifat and kasb ) the main thing is the science that comes from revelation that science shari'ah , because he is a teacher . Kashef science and science kasb not considered violated if the shari'ah . This is the science of understanding the nature of the Pen in Islam .


How Science Qalam according to the Sufis ?


By Sufi Qalam science are as follows :

1 . " Science Qalam " or Kashef is a special knowledge given by God to the trustees shufi . In addition to their group , the more hadith expert , can not get it .

2 . " Science Qalam " or the nature of science is more important than the science of revelation ( shari'ah ) . They base it on the story of the Prophet peace be upon Khidlir with the notion that science is the science of the Prophet Moses peace be upon revelation while science is the science of the Prophet peace be upon Khidhir Kashef ( nature ) . To the extent that Abu Yazid al - Busthami ( 261 H. ) said : " A pious was not the one who memorized from the book , so if he forgets what he memorized it becomes stupid , but a pious are those who take the knowledge of the Lord at any time he likes without memorizing and without learning . This is Rabbany science . "

3 . Science Shari'ah ( Qur'an and Sunnah ) is the veil ( barrier ) for a slave to be up to Allaah . With laduni science alone is enough , no need anymore to science revelation , so they wrote a lot of books with the method Kashef , directly dictated and taught directly by God , that we must believe the truth . Such as Abd . Karim Al - Jiliy authored the book Al - Kamil fi Ma'rifatil Insanul Awakhir wal Awail . And Ibn Arabi ( 638 H ) wrote the book Al - Futuhatul Makkiyyah .

To interpret a verse or a hadith to say the degree is not necessary through isnad method ( history ) , but simply by Kashef so well-known phrase among them " My heart told me from my Lord . " Or " I was told by my Lord of himself , directly without any intermediaries . "

So , consequently many false hadith according hadith scholars , endorsed by experts Kashef ( tasawwuf ) or vice versa . From here we can find out why a hadith ( sunnah ) never met with experts Kashef ( tasawwuf ) .

One phenomenon that occurs in the community Qalam Science is what is experienced by a co-founder clerics Boarding School in one of the cities in East Java .

Kyai who has 150's of students admitted that he has Qalam Sciences . With the Pen Sciences dimiliknya , the clerics claimed able to teach someone to master various languages ​​with no aid whatsoever, whether video , foreign language tapes , language labs , especially native speakers . But his students enough to undergo some rituals , such as bathing and read some prayers and so on . Someone who wants to learn with these clerics charge the $ 1 million or Rp 350,000 , depending on the level of which he entered . The clerics are claiming to get the knowledge of the Prophet Khidr laduni the U.S. through ritual penance ( Actors , imprisoned ) . The penance commencement since the age of seven years . And is usually done by the sea while fishing . At the age of about 12 years , the clerics claimed that the Prophet Khidr met by the sea . During the meeting , he said that the form of the Prophet Khidr a man dressed as a commoner. Then he picked it as his kheer .


Rebuttal Brief Against Heresy above 


1. Kashef or inspiration not only belong expert tasawwuf. Every believer has the potential to dimulyakan righteous by God with inspiration. Abu Bakr radhiallahu anhu inspired by God that the child was conceived by his wife (before he died) are women. And apparently inspired him (according to a history by dreams) come true. Ibn Abdus Salam said that the inspiration or divine science that includes most of the replies given God good deeds in this world. So there is no argument of specialization in a particular group, even a general proposition, such as the Prophet of Allaah be upon him: "Those who practice the science he knew, so Allah bequeathed him knowledge which he knew not." 

(Al-Iraqy say: HR. Nu'aim in Abu Anas al-Hilyah radhiallahu anhu, the hadith is weak) 


This is also in accordance with the word of Allah :

O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do.

[surat Al Baqarah  2:282]


Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.

[surat Al Hijr  15:75]


It should be underlined here, that people who have these advantages will not claim or science which he had announced in public, let alone deliberately to be commercialized in search of the world's wealth. Indeed it is not in accordance with the spirit of Islam which teaches followers to not riya ', let alone use religion as a vehicle to look for the world. 

2. Prophet Khidr, according to some scholars sent to certain people, just as the prophet Moses was sent to the children of Israel. And a very reasonable thing once, if at the time of the Prophet there are two or more. The proof? 

Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold!, there came messengers to it.
When We (first) sent to them two messengers, they rejected them: But We strengthened them with a third: they said, "Truly, we have been sent on a mission to you."

[Yasin  36:13-14]


Another example is the prophet Ibrahim , Ismail , Ishaq and Prophet Lut they live in an era , as well as the prophet David and Solomon , the prophet Jacob and Joseph , Moses , Aaron and Shoaib , and the last prophet Zechariah , Isa and Yahya .

3 . Prophet Khidr as well not followers of the prophet Moses and instructed not to follow it , so it is fine for the Prophet Khidr do not like what is being taught the prophet Moses , as every prophet has manhaj and sharia different . Then after that comes a person claiming to be the guardian of God and have the knowledge Qalam , thus allowing himself out or do not follow syareah which brought Prophet Muhammad . Na'udzibillahi mindzalik .... Let him that his name prophet Isa course , later that fall to earth again to kill the Dajjal , will participate and comply with sharia prophet Muhammad .
4 . The statement of Abu Yazid , then it is a real mistake because the Prophet sallallaahu ' alaihi wasalam just pass the science of shari'ah ( the science of revelation ) , Al - Quran and As - Sunnah . The Prophet said that the scholars who understand the Book and the Sunnah that his successor , while assuming no one besides the Prophet sallallaahu ' alaihi wasalam who take knowledge directly from God whenever he likes , then it is a superstition sufiyyah .

5.Anggapan that the shari'ah sciences hijab is a kufr , a deceit devil to destroy Islam . Therefore , tasawwuf is warehouse of darkness and misguidance . It was a great success for the devil in turning them away from the light of Islam .

6. The notion that the "science laduni" enough is ignorance and disbelief. All scholars including Sheikh Abdul Qadir Ahlussunnah Al-Jilani said: "Every essence is not seen (approved) by the Shari'ah is zindeeq (astray)." 

7. Someone who claimed to get the Pen Sciences, as in the can by the Prophet Khidr, as he claimed to get a revelation from heaven, as obtained prophet Khidr is a revelation. A person can know the science ghoib with intermediaries or Satanic Jin, because Jin and Satanic often steal hearing about things ghoib from the sky. As the word of God,

And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil:
But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).

[surat Al Hijr 15:17-18]


Paragraph - paragraph matching can also be seen in the letter As Shoffat: 10 and Surat Jin: 9. 

8. A person who claims to have knowledge laduni with intermediaries kanuragan sciences (science of magic) that he get with certain exercises, such as imprisoned in the middle of the river for 40 days and 40 nights, or fasting for 40 consecutive days, or by eating only rice white only without side dishes within a specified period or in other ways that often do some people. Then we will ask him whether such methods had been taught by the Messenger of Allah and his companions or not? if the answer is no, then he got the knowledge to ask the help of a genie and a person could be syetan.Sebagaimana rich quick by asking the help of Jin and Satanic. Such actions are prohibited by Islam, as Allah says:

'True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.

[surat Al-Jin  72:6]


We see a lot of people in today who maintain Jin to get rich quickly , but that they got was trouble . They finally dead pathetic for being " victimizing " Jin that he maintained ... It's All-True God with every word .
