In one history is mentioned, a Jew came to the Caliph Umar bin Khattab and said, "There is one verse which was revealed by Allah to the Muslims, if the word paragraph is revealed to us (Jews), surely we'll celebrate on the day of revelation."
Umar responded, "Which verse do you mean?" Jewish man replied, "On this day I perfected for you your religion, and I have both ends meet My favor unto you, and I have guide the Islam as your religion." (Surah al-Maidah [5]: 3). Umar said, "By Allah, indeed I know exactly the day the revelation of the verse. Descended to the Prophet Muhammad on Friday, the day of Arafat, who became a feast to all the Muslims in the world each year."
"To cling to the Islamic law is a must. More than that God's laws guarantee perfection given to the Muslims and make it as light and guidance. So, anyone who is against it, would be misguided and blinded him for ever," wrote Sayyid Phil Quwwah Anashirul Sabiq in Islam.
Islam is the last treatise and teach the truth and values that are universal and eternal, which must be believed and practiced every Muslim. Truth of Islam should be propagated by preaching, not by coercion and physical force deployment. Islam was not propagated by force swords and guns, but with the power of the tongue and the beauty of the interpreter propaganda deeds.
Islam teaches, balance and harmony between material and spiritual progress. Amaliah piety to God and people, is the essence of religious life. Were the teachings of Islam that is run well by his people, then there would be no poor people displaced, there are no sick people that could not go, and there will be no discord, ignorance, and crimes against humanity among Muslims. Said Sheikh Muhammad Abduh, "Islam is closed by the people of Islam itself."
Today we see the weak position of Muslims in the global political arena. Muslims are often exploited and pushed around by the situation that made by others. In some Muslim countries, not infrequently found to foreign interference due to the inability of Muslims to manage their own households. Although located in a multicultural world society, but we could create a situation conducive to the development and future of this religion. Muslims are not the best race (khaira ummah) who are born to humanity?
Muslims as a stakeholder treatise Prophet Muhammad is the eternal race until the end of time. Therefore, Muhammad is a treatise treatise eternal. One prayer is granted by the Messenger of God, is that Muslims are not going to disappear from the earth like that of previous peoples, no matter how the weakness of his people.
However, the glory of Muslims from time to time depending on the efforts and the efforts made by the Muslims themselves. God's help will come if Muslims who did not pick her up with tireless effort. And Allaah knows best. (Republika)
