Khulafa'ur Rasyidin (Rightly Guided Caliphs) and the poor people

At Khulafa'ur Rasyidin era (first four caliph), the companions of the Prophet Mohammed PBUH and his followers strive to do good by helping people in need. Abu Bakr Ash-Shidiq and Umar bin Khatab are those who vigorously compete in good deeds.
Abu Bakr
This event is happening at the time of Abu Bakr. At that time, Umar observe what is done by Abu Bakr, Then Umar doing good deeds such as those undertaken by the Abu Bakr.
One day, Umar was watching Abu Bakr Ash at dawn. When Abu Bakr went to the outskirts of the city of Medina after the Fajr prayers, Abu Bakr came to a small hut for a few seconds, then Abu Bakr returned to his house. Umar did not know what is in the hut, and what was happened there. Umar knew almost all the good done by Abu Bakr, unless the secrets of the business of the hut.
The days continue to pass. Abu Bakr Ash-Shidiq visited the little hut everyday. Umar did not know what Abu Bakr had done there. Finally, Umar decided to enter the hut immediately after Abu Bakr left the hut. Umar wanted to see what is in the hut with his own eyes. He wanted to know what his friends had done there.
When He came into the little hut, Umar saw a poor old lady and the lady was unable to move. The old lady was also blind. Nothing in the small hut. Umar stumped when viewing the contents of the hut. He wanted to know what was the relationship between an old lady and with Abu Bakr.
Umar asked, "What does the man (Abu Bakr) do here?". An old lady replied, "By Allah, I do not know the man, O my son. Every morning, he came, and swept my house and clean my house. He prepared some food for me. Then he left without speaking to me. "
Umar bend his knees, he cried. And he said the famous words, " You really made the leaders (after you) hard (to follow your good character), O Abu Bakr "
Umar bin Khatab
Umar bin Khatab, the Commander of the Faithful, married Umm Kulthum bin Ali. One day, he went from house to see directly his people. He met a man who sat with sorrow and anxiety at the door of the mosque. Umar asked, "What's wrong with you?" The man replied, "My wife is giving birth, but we do not have any and no one with her.". Umar wanted to know his house. Then the man pointed a tent on the outskirts of the city of Medina. Umar approached his wife, Umm Kulthum, saying, "Will you get good thing that God (will) send to you?" His wife asked, "What is it?" Umar explained, "A woman will give birth and there is no one accompanying her. His wife replied, "Allright."
Umar took the flour, butter and dry milk. He set off, followed by his wife. When they reached the tent, Umar shouted, “Occupants of this tent!." The man came out. Umar asked his wife to meet her, then he cooked flour, butter and dry milk. Umar put all those food stuff on the stove. He lit a fire and cooking the food. When the food had not already cooked, but the baby’s cries were heard from inside the tent. Umm Kulthum voice followed, "Leader of the believers, would you tell a good news to your friend, her firstborn was male." After the man was told the good news, the man was surprised. He said, "We have been troublesome and tiring the Commander of the Faithful."
Umar said, "It’s not a big deal. Will you come to us, tomorrow morning? We will give you what you need for your family. "The next day, the man came. Umar gave the man a camel and a full load of food in the back of the camel. The man was happy and grateful to the Commander of the Faithful.

Reading should become a habit a Muslim

Read! (or proclaim!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-. Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood. Read! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- Taught man that which he knew not. (Quran, Surah al-Alaq: 1-5)


The meaning of the command "Iqra" (“read”)

Ibn Kathir explains the purpose of the above verse as follows:
"And indeed, among the mercy of God is teaching something that was unknown to mankind. So God elevate and glorify the human dignity through sciences. The glory is only given to human ancestor, Adam, that distinguishes humans from angels."

The command to read in the verse "Iqra '" do not mention its object. In grammar, this indicates that the command to read is not limited to a particular object, but reading everything from the verses of God, both expressed or implied, either in the form of His creation or in the form of Kitab al-Quran.
Why do we need to read?
Reading mean not just spell the words. Reading in a broad sense means: to make observations through the senses, to think through reason, to take lessons through the heart as well as receiving and believing the truth of what was spoken by God through His prophet. If so, it is very natural that reading is one of the center of attention of God, so that orders be placed as the first revelation to do by the Prophet and his followers, because the habit of reading has a very important role in human life. Among them are:
First; reading is human nature.
Reading in terms of understanding the phenomena that surround humans have been done by humans since the first moment of his birth, when a baby is born into the world, from his mother's womb and face the new environment. Baby's skin started to sense the temperature that is different from before, the baby's nose breathe fresh air, and the baby's ears faintly hear voices. All of the reading process is carried out by the baby. Activity will continue to evolve throughout his life.
“It is He Who brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers when ye knew nothing; and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections: that ye may give thanks (to Allah.). (Quran; Surah An-Nahl [16]: 78)
Second, the habit of reading make people understand the reality.
People who is destined to be born in a state of blind, then he will never understand the concept of color. All colors are the same for them. Likewise, if people do not use the senses, reason, thought and conscience to get the truth, then he would never understand it. And if humans are not able to understand, then he is no better than animals
“Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,- nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning). “( Quran, Surah al-A'raf [7]: 179)
Third: The habit of reading makes people are capable of distinguishing (which is good or bad).
Through the senses, mind, heart and revelation, human beings have the ability to distinguish the right one from wrong, the true from the false, the good from the bad, etc..
"That He might justify Truth and prove Falsehood false, distasteful though it be to those in guilt. (Quran; Surah al-Anfal [8]: 8)
Fourth, habit of reading make the man be able to make the right decision.
Someone who had no knowledge, then he will not be able to take a decision promptly and correctly. If a person acts based on wrong information, then he will take the wrong action.
If people take a decision without proper and sufficient information, then the decision is speculation. So their decision might be wrong and might be right. Correct decisions only obtained from information that is also true.
Humans must obtain the correct information from the source of the most true so that humans do not get lost in the speculative life. The information come from Allah and his messenger.
"The Truth is from thy Lord; so be not at all in doubt." (Quran; Surah Al-Baqarah [2]: 147).
Hopefully we can become people who can "read".

Islamic unity is built from a good family relationships

Problems of property, inheritance and even differences in beliefs (madhhab, or organization) is often the trigger of the feud between family members. Thus, as a result of these differences, a parent with a child, brother and sister or between family members become separated, not greeted each other, and not caring. This social phenomenon should be a reflection for us, because the relationship is correlated with one's faith and also with the future of Islam.
Family is one part of the community. The integrity of a family, is a major contribution to the realization of a strong Muslim community, and the unity of Muslims (Muslim brotherhood). Prophet Muhammad pbuh was reminded of this issue through the verses of the Qur'an and as-Sunnah. He preached about the dangers of disconnecting from the family.

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is seriously threatening the people who break family ties. In verses 22-23 the letter Muhammad, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala convict people who break family ties as the damned, their ears are deafened and their sight are blinded.
This means that good advice will not be heard by the ear and will not penetrated into their hearts. They are also difficult to see the truth (al-Haq) even though the truth is in front of their eyes.
In another verse, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala also gives the title to people who break family ties as a wicked and losers (Quran, Surah al-Baqarah 26-27), cursed and became inhabitants of jahannam hell (Quran, Surah al-Ra'd 25). Threats in the Qur'an was later corroborated by the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh.: "People who break family ties do not go to heaven." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).
The assertion of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh hadith shows that the threat of Allah against those who break family ties is really serious.
Thus, the relationship is related to one's faith. Hospitality is one of the identity of a believer. A believer always maintain familiarity with the family and when family relationships were severed, he immediately connect the family ties and held a reconciliation. Prophet Muhammad pbuh said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then he should connect the relationship with his family." (Narrated by Bukhari).
Therefore, the punishment for those who break the family ties are very heavy. Punishment is not only in the hereafter but also inflicted since the person is still alive in the world, because the severance of family ties (intentional) is one of the major sins. In fact, the sin that has implications for the people around him.
Rasulullah SAW said: "Verily, Rahmat (mercy of Allah) was not revealed to people who are among those people there is someone who break family ties." (Narrated by Bukhari).
This Hadith shows that the sins of the people who break family ties also bad (the removal of God's grace) to those who live around people who break family ties.
Feuding brothers who are separated and are usually caused by the seizure of property, inheritance, jealousy, and personal matter. Conflicts in these problems is very common and often sound to our ears.
In addition to factors already mentioned above, there are other factors that recently became a new phenomenon. Differences in beliefs or Islamic organizations, and parties sometimes be a trigger of conflict among family or among community members - in some cases, such conflicts are difficult to reconcile.
Someone who has been steeped new beliefs, trying to spread that belief to the person or relatives nearby. While other family members who hold the traditions will not easily let go of that tradition. So, if we do not understand each other, conflicts will occur between relatives. From these differences, miss communication with family members is common. The difference is stratified. Levels of conflict also depends on the level of difference.
Family breakdown has also been experienced by the prophet Noah pbuh with his son, Qan'aan. When Noah pbuh and the other three sons of Noah (Sam, Ham, Jafits) and their followers are already inside the ship, because the flood occurred, Qan'aan who disbelieve say no to Noah pbuh for boarding the ship. "I will seek refuge in the mountains that can keep me out of the flood" said Qan'aan.
Due to refuse an invitation from his father, he was drowned by God and slammed by the flood and along with the infidels. Prophet Noah pbuh was greatly saddened by this tragedy, and cried "Oh God, he is my son". But what does God answer? "O Noah, verily he is not including your family, verily his deeds (Qan'an) is a bad deed." (Quran, Surah Hud: 45).
Got the answer from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, Noah knew that Qan’an has cut family ties as well as break the faith, so he was no longer his son. Therefore, Noah had to give up Qan, ‘an to be punished by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
In that story, although Qan'an have blood relations with Noah, but he considers that there is no bond with her father. But Noah is hoped that the Qan'an would believe the order of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and reconvene with his brothers.
Noah trying to connect family ties, by getting Qan'an to believe in the commandment of God. But since Qan'an retain the principle of his disbelief, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Qan'an separate from Noah pbuh.
From the story, we are more convinced by the words of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh: People who connect the family ties will always be shaded by the grace of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, in contrast, people who break the family ties will be squeezed by the curse of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. In the story above, Qan'an refuse an invitation from Noah to knit family ties. As a result, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Qan'an punish.
So, the unity of Islam must be started from a strong family bond. The way is not just visiting each other, but the most important is encouraging each other. The family is a component of the Islamic community. If we are able to form an Islamic family, harmony and peace, it will create a faith community who come together under the umbrella of Islam blessed by God.

Merits of Women According to Islamic Perspective


Is this the beginning of creation of women and men differ? Whether women are created by evil gods or whether they are one of the dirt from the act of Satan? Is it true that only women are seduced and manipulated by Satan and women really be the cause of the expulsion of man from heaven?
That is partly a question that is answered with a justification by some people, thus creating a view or the mistaken belief that spread before the Islamic period and that believes is still etched in many people's views of the 20th century.
This view is explicitly contradicted in the Qur'an:
"O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, WHO created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from Them twain Scattered (like seeds) countless men and women; - reverence Allah, through Whom ye demand your mutual (rights) , and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you." (Quran: Surah Annisa - 1)

Likewise the Qur'an reject views which differentiate between men and women by asserting that both come from one kind of the same and that God created a pair of men and women and breed a lot of men and women from both.
It is true that there is a saheeh hadith (hadith which can is credible) said:
You should advise each other to do good to women because they are created from a crooked rib (narrated by Bukhari, Muslim, and Tirmidhi from Abu Hurairah).
Unfortunately, the hadith is mistakenly understood that the woman is really created from Adam's rib, so the degree of humanity women were considered lower than men. However, there are many quite scholars who have explained the real meaning of the hadith.
Muhammad Rashid Rida, in "Tafsir al-Manaar", writes: "if the Old Testament (Genesis (2): 21) did not tell the story of Adam and Eve creation with the interpretation which leads to an understanding that women are really created from the rib of man, then this is surely that the wrong understanding would never occur to the mind of a Muslim. "
The crooked rib must be understood in the figurative sense. It means the hadith remind that the men should treated women wisely, because there is the women nature, character, and the tendency which is not the same as the men, so if this unique nature of women is not recognized by a man , then the man will behave rude to women. When a man attempted to impose a thought or action to women, then such action would create extremely refusal from the women, just as the crooked rib forced to become straight: it will be broken.
"We have honoured the children of Adam; Them provided with transport on land and sea; given Them for sustenance Things good and pure; and conferred on Them special favours, above a great part of our creation." (Quran: Al-Isra - 70)
The phrase "children of Adam" includes men and women, so the glory of God-given, included all the children of Adam, men and women. There is no difference between men and women in terms of their origin and honour. Allah - God Almighty - confirm that:
And their Lord hath accepted of them, and answered them: "Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female: Ye are members, one of another: Those who have left their homes, or been driven out therefrom, or suffered harm in My Cause, or fought or been slain,- verily, I will blot out from them their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath;- A reward from the presence of Allah, and from His presence is the best of rewards." (Quran (3): 195)
Perceptions of the distinguishing glory of men and women are eroded by Islam. Therefore, Islam condemned those who rejoice because of the birth of a son, but being sad because of the birth of a daughter:
When news is Brought to one of Them, of (the birth of) a female (child), his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief!(Quran (16):58 - 59)
59. With shame does he hide Himself from his people, Because of the bad news he has Had! Shall he retain it on (sufferance and) contempt, or bury it in the dust? Ah! what an evil (choice) They Decide on?
From the verses of the Koran (Quran), is also found that the temptation and seduction of Satan is not only addressed to the woman (Eve) but also addressed to men. The verses that talk about temptation or seduction are in the words that show unity of both (Adam and Eve) without a difference, such as:
"Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to Them, Bringing Their Minds openly before all That Their shame was hidden from Them (before): he said: "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, Lest ye angels or Should Become Such Beings as live for ever.""(Quran (7):20)
If there are words in the singular, the word actually refers to men (Adam), which acts as the leader of his wife.
Allah said in Qur'an (20):120, "But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, "O Adam! Shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom That never decays?""
Thus, it is seen that Al-Quran puts women at a reasonable place and straighten everything related to the wrong views of creation and position of women.

Destruction of fiat money: the rise of gold

Early destruction of paper money system is actually preceded by a decision taken by the president of the United States (U.S.) on August 15, 1971, where a surprising decision that printing money of U.S. $ is no longer based on the provisioning of gold weighing 1 Ozt (troy ounces) to U.S. $ 35. We can say that in the past, people freely exchange U.S. $ to gold with a fixed price range (the range of U.S. $ 35/OZt - U.S. $ 40/OZt), but now the price is no longer fixed, but following the laws of market: supply and demand. Nixon's decision was allegedly caused by the defeat of USA in the Vietnam war, which resulted in the USA bear much debt resulting economic difficulties. These problems were compounded by U.S. dollar exchange by countries that have foreign reserves in U.S. $ to gold according to the Bretton Woods agreement in 1965 because these countries know the condition of the gold that backed by the U.S.

Finally, the U.S. is no longer able to maintain coverage for paper money with gold reserves at the time, so the U.S. dollar is no longer secured by gold. To finance the spending of government and U.S. military, the Fed - as a “printing machine” – finally “print” U.S. dollars exceeds the ability of gold reserves. Finally, the countries holding U.S. dollar could no longer exchange them for gold because the U.S. has only 22% of gold reserves from which they should have corresponding dollar they “print”. France, which owns a lot of gold reserves, at the end convert U.S. $ into the form of gold in 1965 (and ultimately the gold reserves are depleted marked with the "Nixon Shock" above). At that time, the French exchange as much as U.S. $ 150 million in gold, followed by Spain of U.S. $ 60 million resulting in depleted U.S. gold reserves. This event is in many articles are often referred to as the "Nixon Shock" (Nixon shock). Release of the relationship between U.S. $ to gold is then recast in total world financial order and inflate the price of gold to date. As taken from Wikipedia, in the period 1970 to 2010, the rise in gold has reached 3,792%. Thus, after the "Nixon Shock", the fiat money of U.S. $ is just a blank check. It should be known by the entire world community that is not taught in schools about the complete history of this money. Robert T Kiyosaki in the cover of a book titled Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education (Plata Publishing, Scottsdale, AZ, 2011) wrote the phrase "What Schools Will Never Teach You About Money" with the bold words NEVER. These conditions lead to inflation because the “paper money” which we hold is only a paper with printers and design are set by each country to manage local transactions. For countries that have ties with the USA, as well as international sales also use the U.S. $.
Under these conditions, we can understand why the IMF set members (the central banks of various countries) and must abide by the "Articles Of Agreement of the IMF". The contents of the article on the substance is that the IMF says that money should not be gold (gold as a reference exchange rate / exchange rate is prohibited by the IMF and forth in article IV section 2).
Therefore, we should use more "trully money". If we refer to the opinion of Imam Ghazali's that the fair money is gold and silver. It is also in accordance with the hadith narrated by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam that he heard the Prophet Muhammad pbuh said, "The time will come to mankind, when nothing is valued except Dinar and Dirham". (Musnad Imam Ahmad bin Hambal).
Dinar is the Islamic Gold Dinar, Dinar Islamic or so-called Islamic Gold Dinar (IGD). It is made of 22 carat gold weighing 4.25 grams. Design or writings on the dinar could be different. Let us prepare ourselves before the time of the destruction of paper money comes. Should we switch from paper money savings into gold savings while we can still work and before our retirement comes.

Wasteful behavior in Islamic perspective

Human have a tendency to behave wasteful. Wasteful behavior is one of the cunning of Satan to make our treasure not effectively raise our dignity. Our properties effectively plunge, handcuff and trap us mired in trickery of the property.
We can see in our everyday lives, people who have wealth, have more tendency to love their treasure. Their love to their treasure increase as the better value of the treasure. Moreover, they also wanted to show it off, anything they have. Sometimes, people like to show their vehicle off, while the others like to show their house off, and others. This behavior arise because- one of the reason is- people wanted to look more nice, more branded, or cooler than others. In fact, the more branded goods on our hand, the more it torture ourself.

I.e. someone gives you a ballpoint. From the appearance of the ballpoint you thought it was very nice, shiny, and it is good when it is used to write anything. But suddenly, this ballpoint torture yourself when someone told you that the brand of ballpoint "MP" is a famous brand of a ballpoint. Well, because you know the value of the ballpoint, your behavior was so changed. Suddenly you feel so afraid of missing it, . You’re afraid when the ink runs out quickly because the ink was expensive, etc.
Conversely, if we are familiar with the “humble” or simple stuff, you can bet life would be lighter. We must have strong self control our when we decide to buy an item. Remember, the most important thing is to ask yourself: what are the benefits of the goods that we will buy it. You should list your own scale of priorities, for example, Do we have to buy shoes for a thousand dollars when we only need sneakers. Moreover, if the available choices of prices, ranging from the 600, 400, and 200 dollars. So, if we are in a situation like this, then look for shoes that do not make us like to show off the shoes when wearing it, which does not torture yourself when cleaning the shoes, and has benefits in accordance with the main purpose of buying these shoes. Be wise, we tend to buy brands, but we actually need is the durability of the shoe.
Allah, the One and only, says: “And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful (Quran: Surah Al-Israa [17]: 26-27). Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes).” (Quran: Surah al-Furqan [25]: 67).
It was clear that wasteful attitude is closer to the behavior of the devil. Therefore, a simple life is one culture that must grow in our lives. Choosing to live with earthy culture does not mean we should not buy good, expensive, and branded stuff. Go ahead! But usually if you buy something because you like that, then when you see something better, our interest on the first item will be lost. Thus, our desire to buy will not stop. Buy something just because we need the goods and if we are able to buy goods. Again, just because of need! Moreover, if we can still use the other stuff that we already have, then it is wise if we do not make a purchase.

The meaning of charity in the view of Islam (part 1)


What is the glory of charity? It is told in a hadith narrated by Turmudzi and Ahmad, as follows:
When Allah created the earth, then the earth trembled. Then Allah also created the mountain with the strength that has been given to the mountain, then the earth fell silent. Angels were amazed at the creation of the mountain. Then they asked, "O Lord, is there thy creation stronger than the mountains?"
Allah replied, "Yes, it is iron." The angels asked again, "My Lord, is there thy creation stronger than iron?"
Then Allah replied, "Yes, it is a fire"
The angels asked again, "O Lord, is there thy creation stronger than fire?"
Allah the Almighty replied, "Yes, it is water"
"Oh my Lord, is there thy creation stronger than water?", The angels asked again.
Allah the Most Exalted and Perfect said, "Yes, it is the wind"
Finally, the angels asked, "O Lord, is there thy creation stronger than all your creation?
Allah replied, "Yes, it is the act of Adam's descendants who give alms with his right hand while his left hand does not know these alms."

That means that the most noble person is one who give alms, but still able to overtake him, so the charity does is clean, honest, and sincere with no element of showing off or a desire to show off. It can be understood as a basic human instinct is the need of praise, respect, appreciation, gratitude, and so on. We are always tempted to show off everything we have or all of what we can do. Moreover, if what we do is a good thing.
Thus, we are not surprised, a charity with a sincere are the people who have tremendous power. They will not be defeated by the various types of low instincts, which is need to be praised. We believe that Allah would surely reward our charity at the moment we are in desperate need of assistance in a way that is never predicted by humans.
Allah is the God that is Most Gracious and Merciful to all His servants. Even to people that always rebel against His commands, God poured His grace that can not be measured.
All human actions, good or bad, will affect us. If we think about our property that is now within our grasp, the property often makes us forget that all such property is a gift from Allah the Almighty and the Most Rich. Allah entrusted those property to us, so that we can do good and give alms willingly and expecting good pleasure of Allah only. We will undoubtedly get a reward from Allah, whether we still live in this world or when we meet Allah someday.
Prophet Muhammad pbuh. (peace be upon him) called upon his companions who were preparing to go into battle, to charity. Especially at that time, Allah revealed the verses of charity to the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. , " The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things (Quran, Surah al-Baqarah: 261).
