Sdg mngkaji... Kenapa kamu menolak Imam AsSyaari?

[yasirmukhtar]

“Salafi itu bukan istilah khusus; atau bukan nama khusus untuk golongan tertentu, kelompok tertentu, aliran tertentu. Semua orang Islam pasti salafi.”

Silakan simak penjelasan yang memuaskan dari Ustadz Adi Hidayat mengenai siapa itu salafi (walaupun menurut sejumlah saudara muslim yang gemar menggunakan terminologi tersebut, Ustadz Adi Hidayat ini “manhajnya bermasalah”—wallahu’alam)

Kembali ke postingan kedua terakhir saya, maka, pertanyaan seperti “Kang, Ustadznya salaf ngga?” adalah pertanyaan yang tidak perlu ada.

[yasirmukhtar]

Salaf

Selalu gatal dengan logika sejumlah orang tentang siapa yang layak disebut “salaf”–orang yang mengikuti jalan Rasul, para sahabat, dan para salafush-shalih yang lurus.

“Kang, Ustadznya salaf ngga?”

Pertanyaan semacam itu, menurut saya, tidaklah valid.

Pertama, tidak ada ummat Islam (yang akalnya normal) yang tidak menginginkan dirinya mengikuti jalan Rasul dan para sahabat. Tidak ada muslim yang dengan sengaja berpikir untuk, “Jalan ke surga kan ada banyak, kenapa saya harus ikut jalan Rasul dan para sahabat? Saya mau tempuh jalan lain.”

Jelas-jelas sumber utama memahami Islam adalah Al-Quran dan hadits yang keduanya bermuara dari Rasulullah Muhammad shallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Kalau ada yang menafikkan betapa utamanya jalan yang ditempuh Rasulullah, maka topiknya bukan tentang apakah dia salaf atau bukan, tapi apakah dia muslim sungguhan atau bukan.

Jadi, jika label salaf ditentukan dari apakah seseorang mengakui keutamaan jalan Rasul dan meniatkan diri untuk mengikuti jalan Rasul, well, siapa yang tidak? Semua kelompok akan mengaku demikian, bahkan sebagian mengklaim paling lurus dibandingkan dengan yang lainnya.

Kedua, jika label salaf dialamatkan pada orang-orang yang bersepaham hingga hal-hal furu’ (cabang) dengan si pelabel, atau bereferensi (hanya) pada ulama-ulama yang sama dengan referensi si pelabel, maka pertanyaan yang lebih tepat adalah: “Dia dari kelompok kita atau bukan?”

Jika standarnya adalah hal seperti “Apakah dia membolehkan musik?”, “Apa pendapatnya tentang Yusuf Qardhawi?”, atau semacamnya, maka– menurut saya, si penanya tidak mampu hidup dalam realitas bahwa ada beragam cara pandang dan cara tafsir dalam Islam, yang menghasilkan pendapat yang berbeda-beda meski referensinya sama.

Ketidakmampuan memahami realitas perbedaan dalam Islam ini (yang terjadi bahkan ketika Rasulullah masih hidup, berlanjut semakin banyak ke zaman khulafaur-rasyidin–yang diantaranya dapat kita lihat pada kasus pembunuhan Umar dan perang sesama muslim di zaman Ali, dan terus berlanjut hingga hari ini) berkolaborasi dengan pemahaman bahwa hanya ada satu kebenaran dalam Islam, tidak mungkin ada beberapa pendapat yang sama-sama benar, menyebabkan penganutnya terjangkit delusi bahwa kelompoknya adalah Islam dan Islam adalah kelompoknya.

Kembali ke persoalan “siapa itu salaf?”–jika yang kedua ini adalah kasusnya, maka kita hanya perlu cukup tahu lalu menghindari perdebatan dengan si pelabel salaf, sembari mendoakan agar hati-pikirannya Allah bukakan agar mampu bersikap lemah lembut terhadap saudara-saudara muslimnya meski tidak berkiblat pada kitab dan ulama yang sama.

20 lessons for 2020

2019 has been a pretty challenging year for me. I started it being scared and anxious about everything, and I ended it single, with new career goals and surrounded by my best friends. Here are 20 lessons (100% tested and approved) that I learned along the way!

1. People only show their best sides to you but you would be amazed by how many people share the same feelings as you

2. If you feel like you can’t be yourself around a certain group of people, then you’re hanging out with the wrong group

3. Notice people who make you feel energized and happy VS people who drain all your energy. It’ll change your life.

4. You don’t need to justify yourself when you say « no » to something

5. However, you should say yes more often to spontaneous proposals and experiences

6. Honesty is a sign of respect

7. If you don’t give your 100% to something then you’ll be less likely to get that 100% back

8. Choose flaws over qualities. Your dream job also consists in not-so-dreamy parts, and this is what you should consider when choosing your career. The same applies with friends/lovers.

9. The person you sit in front of at the library can become one of your best friends (true story for me)

10. 99% of the scenarios you imagine in your head will never happen

11. Changing starts within YOUR thoughts and how you react to them.

12. Just because you’re offended it doesn’t mean that you’re right

13. Keep a critical eye to everything you hear/see.

14. Being vulnerable is a sign of strenght and not a sign of weakness

15. You can cope with a lot more than you think

16. Your life can totally change in a year and you can be a whole different person only if you’re willing too

17. Cherish what you already have in your life, happiness lies in gratitude

18. Wanting to be perfect for others will only make you seem a boring and hypocrite person

19. The habits you adopt now will define the person you’ll be in the future

20. Be curious. Read books, listen to podcasts, travel (even in your country), and talk to new people

when one is being abusive, one usually was drown to one's own madness... making an undisputable violent act, just in one's own eyes.

what can save the one?

the abused victim, sees love is what from the evil claw, love needs blood and love is endurance of apologising this beatings from the mad beast.

love... is always gentle my dear...

The love story between a servant and his Lord in the depths of the night, could never be understood by those who've never tasted the sweetness of Tahajjud ..

[recordofacommonerjourney]

i wish i hv a friend, who shares with me the knowledge of Allah, who cries with me while reminding about Syukr, who smiles with me while reminding about Sabr, who keeps an eye on me and take action when im astray, who prays for me secretly and openly, who forgives me before i even apologise, who appreciates me even in my little gifts, who holds my hand and never let me loose, who strives to love the pathetic me because of Allah.

and i wish, i am like that too... as i hv been working on being like that, when i say, "i befriend you because........., and that all is for Allah, our Lord whom we shall return to,".

O'Allah, if You bestowed upon me 'that friend' then by Your Grace, let our heart ties, let us feel the love of each other and let us always remember You lots.

O'Allah... i wish after this session... i will always hv a friend at home.

[recordofacommonerjourney]

There is nothing more that i should desire than the please of My Lord. there is nothing more that would stab my heart when seeing how this world separates me from the Lord tht i love. O'Allah, i want Your Love, and to love You with all that i hv. i am like the other sufis, who would not want to go to paradise if You are not please with us. and i want to love all that You love and those who loves You.

[recordofacommonerjourney]

How dare I have something else other than Him...How dare ive been thinking something else other than Him, how dare I hv desire of something else other than Him...

When u fell, that is the time for you to get up back again. Honour yourself with a high-spirit that always burns. even in the way of sufism, things will never be easy as the worst enemy is the closest to you, which is yourself.
