| Love the Qur’an |
MuslimCreed, Let us reflect on what would happen if we ride a vehicle on the road but do not have a clear goal. We just go up but don’t know where to go, of course we will only waste fuel and disrupt the journey of other road users. Even over time we can get lost. Likewise with human life in this world. If this life does not have a clear and correct direction, it will only spend ages without any benefits and then get lost. So that our lives do not go astray, Allah SWT provides guidance through the book that was revealed to His Messenger.
These books are a guide for humans to be happy in this world and the hereafter
1. understanding of faith in the books of Allah SWT
According to language, faith is believing or justifying. According to the term, faith is a belief that is believed to be true in the heart, spoken orally, and practiced with deeds. So, faith in the book of Allah SWT means believing and believing with all your heart that Allah SWT has sent down His books to His Messengers. If we don’t have guidance that comes from Allah SWT, of course we will never know the existence, oneness, and majesty of Allah SWT. Likewise with those who preceded them, they knew the oneness of Allah through His books.
The Scope of Faith with the Scriptures
Faith with the scriptures includes 4 things:
– Faith that these books come down from Allah swt.
– Faith with names that we know from these books, such as the Qur’an which Allah swt revealed to Muhammad, the Torah to Moses (as), the Gospel to Jesus (as), and so on.
– Justification for authentic news, such as news contained in the Qur’an and previous holy books as long as these books have not been changed or distorted.
– The practice of what is not written from these books, accept it and submit to it, whether the wisdom is known or the unknown.”
Allah SWT says in Q.S al-Maidah: 16
2. the names of the books of Allah and the recipients of the Prophet
There are 4 books revealed by Allah SWT to this world, Allah SWT also gave the name for His books. Sequentially starting from the first time it was revealed until now, the four books that we must believe in are the Torah, the Zabur, the Bible, and the Qur’an.
The Torah (revealed in the 12th century BC)
The Torah was revealed to Moses in the 12th century BC on Mount Sinai, the name Torah means law or Shari’ah. At that time, the prophet Mua a.s was sent by the Prophet to preach to the Israelites while the language used in the Torah is Ahaa Hebrew. As mulm we must believe in the existence of this Torah and we must believe that the Torah is truly a revelation from Allah SWT. This belief is reinforced by the information contained in the Qur’an. One of them is contained in the word of Allah Q.S al-Mu’minun: 49
The main teachings contained in the Torah are:
– the command to unite Allah SWT
– prohibition of worshiping statues/idols
– prohibition of mentioning the name of Allah SWT in vain.
– orders to sanctify saturdays
– command to respect both parents
– prohibition of killing fellow humans
– prohibition of adultery
– no stealing
– prohibition of being a false witness
– prohibition of taking the rights of others
