Human
Perfection in Islam written
by Suntoyo
Assalamu ‘alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh, My respected Muslim
brothers may Allah SWT bless us all. In this article, I would like to talk
about” Human Perfection in
Islam”. Allah SWT created human
perfectly. And there is no one that Allah were created with vain and jest. This
is as described by Allah SWT in
QS
(95) At Tiin [4]
“We
have indeed created man in the best of moulds,” And in other ayat Allah SWT said:
QS (23) Al-Mu’minun[115]
"Did ye then think that We had created you in
jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?" Our perfection as human must be
thankfulness to Allah. One of shape of benediction is We worship to Allah and do
every Allah’s command or Taqwa to Allah SWT. This is expressed as explained in
QS (51) Adz-Dzariyaat [56]
“I have only created Jinns
and men, that they may serve Me.” My respected brothers in
Islam, The worship in this context is not only worship vertically to Allah SWT and follow Rasulullahu SAW, but It must include a good behave to human fellow as a relationship of Muamalah to others. Moreover, We have to understand each other, We can not enforce our wish or our opinion to others, because We have to only depend to Allah SWT . This is related with what was said by Rasulullahu SAW, “Avoid
whatever are prohibited by Allah SWT, certainly you become human who the most
worship, Accept whatever are given by Allah SWT for you, certainly you are the
most wealthy, Do good deed to your neighbor, certainly you are a Mukmin and to
have mercy on human which you love for yourself, certainly you are a Muslim”. (HR. Ahmad from Abu Hurairah) The above hadist explained
some steps that should be done in order to we can achieve the perfection human in Islam. It means,
we are not only have the best moulds as created by Allah SWT, but We also have
faithness and devotional both individually and collectively.
At least there are 3 steps in order to
We became a perfect human in Islam. Firstly, earnestness in Taqwa to Allah SWT
and make efforts optimally to away from every Allah SWT's prohibits. If We did
this, so We will include in the human group who the most worship to Allah SWT.
In doing all of Allah’s command seriously will be Ibadah value in front of
Allah SWT if it was done together with full surrender or Ikhlas. Allah SWT in
QS. AlBainiyah ayat 5 expressed that,
“And
they have been commanded no more than this: To worship Allah, offering Him
sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to
practise regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and Straight.” Second, thank
to Allah
for His gifts that have been given to us. This thankfulness will bring us to
have characters that always think positive for the determination of Allah SWT.
And this also brings us to have the emptiness and endure ness. This is, as
explained by the above hadist as the way to be human who the wealthiest. Third, To do a good
deed and mercy to human fellow. A good deed and mercy to Human fellow are as an
indicator that shows the perfection of faith. This is, as explained in the next
Hadist, Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated: Narrated Abu
Huraira Allah's Apostle
said, "Anybody who believes in Allah and the Last
Day should not harm his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last
Day should entertain his guest generously and anybody who believes in Allah and
the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet. (i.e. abstain from all
kinds of evil and dirty talk). Moreover, in another hadist is explained that The Prophet said,
"By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does
not believe! By Allah, he does not believe!" It was said, "Who is
that, O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "That person whose neighbor does
not feel safe from his evil." Wallahu ‘alam
bishowab. Wassalamu ‘alaikum
