Pengabdi Nafsu • Fatwa NU


Pengabdi Nafsu • Fatwa NU

Suatu ketika Imam Ghozali berkumpul dengan murid-muridnya. Lalu Imam Ghozali bertanya, "Wahai murid-muridku sekalian, coba kalian jawab. Apa yang paling dekat dengan diri kita di dunia ini?" Murid-muridnya menjawab, "Orang tua, guru, kawan, dan sahabatnya". Imam Ghozali menjelaskan semua jawaban itu benar. Tetapi yang paling dekat dengan kita adalah "MATI". Lalu Imam Ghozali meneruskan pertanyaan yang kedua, "Apa yang paling jauh dari diri kita di dunia ini?".
Murid -muridnya menjawab "Negara Cina, bulan, matahari dan bintang -bintang". Lalu Imam Ghozali menjelaskan bahwa semua jawaban yang mereka berikan itu adalah benar. Tapi yang paling benar adalah "MASA LALU". Walau dengan apa cara sekalipun kita tidak dapat kembali ke masa lalu. Oleh sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini dan hari-hari yang akan datang dengan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan ajaran agama.

Lalu Imam Ghozali meneruskan dengan pertanyaan yang ketiga, "Apa yang paling besar di dunia ini?". Murid-muridnya menjawab, "Gunung, bumi dan matahari". Semua jawaban itu benar kata Imam Ghozali. Tapi yang paling besar dari yang ada di dunia ini adalah "NAFSU"
Nafsu adalah hal penentu pada diri manusia. Ingin bahagia yang hakiki? Kendalikanlah nafsumu, ingin celaka selamanya? Turuti nafsumu. Pengendalian nafsu adalah kunci dalam hidup ini. Itulah pesan tersembunyi dari Imam Ghozali.

The Mandatory Bathing Method for the Right Woman According to Islam

In Islamic teachings, to carry out worship which is part of the pillars of Islam and its nature habluminnaullah (dealing directly with Allah, in the form of rituals) it is obligatory to be pure and clean. Not just clean and holy when carrying out ritual worship, more than that Islamic teachings do indeed order the people to always keep themselves clean. As in a hadith it is stated that cleanliness is part of faith. This, as stated in the Koran: "O ye who believe, if you are going to pray, then wash your face and your hands up to your elbows, and sweep your head and (wash) your feet up to both ankles, and if you junub then take a bath, and if you are sick or deep traveling or returning from a toilet or touching a woman, then you do not get water, then mix with good soil (clean); brush your face and your hand with the land. God does not want to trouble you, but He wants to cleanse you and perfect His blessings for you, so that you will be grateful. "(QS: Al-Maidah: 6) Prohibiti...

The Law of Eating Food for the Rest of Others in Islam

On the previous occasion, we have briefly reviewed some of the ways of eating the Prophet, one of which is to spend the remaining food on a plate or tray where you eat. Spending the rest of the food actually has its own philosophy of appreciating the blessings given by Allah SWT. Islam forbids his people from wasting the sustenance obtained. And therefore, as Muslims we must respect every drop of water and every seed of food that is available by not wasting the food or drink and using it for a positive purpose. The rewards that we give to food or drink are actually a form of our gratitude for God's favor. Therefore in one of the narrations of the Prophet sallallaahu ahu alaihi wasallam always licked the leftover food stuck to the fingers of his hand. From Jabir bin ‘Abdillah he said that the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wasallam said, "Don't sweep his hand with a napkin before he licks his finger. Because he doesn't know which food brings blessings. "(Narrated by M...
