“UNDERSTANDING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ISLAM”

WHY Do We Need RELIGION??

Why Do We Need Religion?

Religion deals with:

Spiritual development

Social issues

Moral issues


Why Do We Need Religion?

• Lack of religion results in:

– moral decay– spiritual void– lack of meaning in life


Importance of Religion

• It enables the individual to attain inner peace, resulting in a peaceful society

• God’s Law (Wahyu :Quran & Sunnah) is needed to answer questions and solve problems that cannot be answered and solved by man. (constitution)


Importance of Religion Example:

Who created us? Why are we created? Why do we live this life on earth? What is our purpose in this life?

If man finds the answers to such questions, he will achieve inner peace. If he doesn’t, he will be depressed and perhaps suicidal.


Alhamdulillah For Giving Me ISLAM O

ALLAH !

ISLAMLiterally, it means :

1- SUBMISSION

م من في السماوات واألرض طوعا أسلوله (38وكرها وإليه يرجعون )ال عمران :

“And to Him all the creatures of heaven and earth submitted wholeheartedly and forcefully, and to Him they shall return”. )al-imran: 38(


ISLAM

2- PEACE (As-Salaam)

ياأيها الذين آمنوا ادخلوا في السلم » (208كافة...» )البقرة :

“ O believer, enter into God’s peace entirely…”. )al-Baqarah : 208(


Definition:A Religion )Ad-Deen( that brought in by the Prophet Muhammad )May Peace Be Upon Him( over 1400 years ago…

Islam is the second largest religion in the world with over 1 billion followers. The 2001 census recorded 1,591,000 Muslims in the UK, around 2.7% of the population. – BBC.co.uk


ISLAMthe religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Law.The most important truth that God revealed to mankind is that there is nothing divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Almighty God, thus all human beings should submit to Him.


"Today, I have perfected your religion (dīn) for you; I have completed My blessing upon you; I have approved

Islam for your religion.” (Al-Ma’idah)

“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he

will be in the ranks of those who have lost. (all spiritual good)” (Ali-Imran: 85

Indeed, the ONLY valid Religion in the sight of Allah is…


In seventh century Arabia, when society was gripped by idolatry, the divide between rich and poor was growing, and the Arab tribal system was thriving, Muhammad received a revelation that would transform society both within the Arabian peninsula and significantly in other parts of the world. Christianity and Judaism also originated in the Middle East,

and the Prophet made clear that far from bringing a new message, he was in fact calling people back to the one true God and to the way of life people had left. The revelations he received corrected distortions that had crept into earlier revelation and called all to return to the ‘Straight Path’ of Islam.


IMAAN

ISLAM IHSAAN


The Concept of IBADAH

In Islam“UNDERSTANDING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ISLAM”

Ìbadah(act of worship) is an Arabic word derived from àbd (a slave) and it means submission. It portrays that God is your Master and you are His slave and whatever a slave does in obedience to and for the pleasure of his Master is ìbadah. The Islamic concept of ìbadahis very wide.


In short, all your activities and your entire life areìbadah if they are in accordance with the law of God, and your heart is filled with His fear, and your ultimate objective in undertaking all theses activities is to seek the pleasure of God. Thus, whenever you do good or avoid evil for fear of God, in whatever sphere of life and field of activity, you are discharging your Islamic obligations.

This is the true significance ofìbadah, namely total submission to the pleasure of Allah; the molding into the patterns of Islam your entire life, leaving out not even the most insignificant part thereof. To help achieve this aim, a set of formalìbadat(acts of worship) has been constituted, which serves as a course of training. Theseìbadatare thus the pillars on which the edifice of Islam rests.


KEMAJUAN….

PROGRESS…



Let’s get to know….


Know Allah through:

• Asmaul Husna

• Sifat-Sifat Wajib & Mustahil

• SIGNS (ayaat)


“Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of Night and Day,― there are indeed Signs for men of understanding.― (190) Men who celebrate the praises of Allah standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (with the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire”. (Al-Imran: 190)


Shirk• Muslims do not worship or submit to

anything else besides Allah, for if they do that, then they will be committing shirk (the greatest sin a Muslim can commit).

• Shirk is the practice of ascribing partners to Allah. It is also the practice of associating Allah’s qualities to

another.“UNDERSTANDING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ISLAM”

How is the ascribing of partners qualified?

The ascribing of partners is qualified when a Muslim does any of the following:

• When he believes that another created being is a partner to Allah by calling that being, ‘God’.


When he prays to anything other than Allah and when he asks it for help.

When he has the impression that anything, other than Allah, is able to help as Allah can, like matters relating to the Unseen - the future of a person, perhaps.

How is the ascribing of partners qualified?


How does Islam regard a person who commits shirk?

• In Islam, a person who commits shirk is no more a Muslim.

• He is an unbeliever.

• Allah will not forgive him (unless he repents sincerely) for it is the gravest sin a Muslim can commit.

go astray, and sealed his hearing and heart and drew a veil over his sight? Who is there to guide him after Allah has withdrawn

His guidance? Will you not learn a lesson?

How was Qur’an being revealed?


Is there any inaccuracy in the Quran ?


Surah apakah yang paling pendek?


Yaumul Qiyamah


Yaumul Qiyamah ?

The day when human beings will be given life a second time to undergo a series of events that will prove Allah’s Word - His Plan for Creation

and His Justice.


“Did you then think that We

created you in jest and that you will not return to Us, when so elevated is Allah, the King, the Truth. There is no god but He - the Lord of the Great Throne.”

Surah Al Mu’minun 23: 115&116


Yaumul Qiyamah

Mentioned in the Qur’an by many names, which describe a little of what will take place. They are :

As-saa’ah - the Hour or the Last Hour,

Al-akhirah - the Hereafter,Yaumul ba’th - the Day of

Resurrection, Yaumul qiyaamah - the

Day of Resurrection..etc


How is it true?

•Belief in the Yaumul Qiyamah is a very important principle of faith. It comes hand in hand with belief in One God.

•Ascertains knowledge with regard to the Original Source because of Whom this Universe begin to exist.


How is it true?

• There are reasons why it is very important.

– It is the final part of Allah’s Plan for Creation as mentioned earlier.

– It is the final stage of the Test that Allah decreed for man.


Signs of The Hour


Signs of The Hour

Daripada Huzaifah bin Asid Al-Ghifari ra. berkata: "Datang kepada kami Rasulullah saw. dan kami pada waktu itu sedang berbincang-bincang. Lalu beliau bersabda: "Apa yang kamu perbincangkan?". Kami menjawab: "Kami sedang berbincang tentang hari qiamat". Lalu Nabi saw. bersabda: "Tidak akan terjadi hari qiamat sehingga kamu melihat sebelumnya sepuluh macam tanda-tandanya".


Signs of The Hour

Kemudian beliau menyebutkannya: "Asap, Dajjal, binatang, terbit matahari dari tempat tenggelamnya, turunnya Isa bin Maryam alaihissalam, Ya’juj dan Ma'juj, tiga kali gempa bumi, sekali di timur, sekali di barat dan yang ketiga di Semenanjung Arab yang akhir sekali adalah api yang keluar dari arah negeri Yaman yang akan menghalau manusia kepada Padang Mahsyar mereka".(H.R Muslim)


Yaumul Qiyamah

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said, whilst pointing with his index and middle fingers, "The time of my advent and the Hour are like these two fingers." In another report he said, "The Hour almost came before me."


Mengikut pendapat Imam Ibnu Hajar al-Asqalani di dalam kitab Fathul Bari beliau mengatakan: "Apa yang dapat dirajihkan (pendapat yang terpilih) dari himpunan hadis-hadis Rasulullah Saw. bahawa keluarnya Dajal adalah yang mendahului segala petanda-petanda besar yang mengakibatkan perubahan besar yang berlaku dipermukaan bumi ini.


Keadaan itu akan disudahi dengan kematian Nabi Isa alaihissalam (setelah belian turun dari langit). Kemudian terbitnya matahari dari tempat tenggelamnya adalah permulaan tanda-tanda qiamat yang besar yang akan merosakkan sistem alam cakerawala yang mana kejadian ini akan disudahi dengan terjadinya peristiwa qiamat yang dahsyat itu.


Barangkali keluarnya binatang yang disebutkan itu adalah terjadi di hari yang matahari pada waktu itu terbit dari tempat tenggelamnya".
