Ar-Rahman

Allah Berfirman:
…. “Tidak ada yang berputus asa dari rahmat Tuhannya, kecuali orang yang sesat” (Al-Hijr: 56)

Allah yang telah menurunkan Al Quran melalui Malaikat Jibril kepada Rasullah dan mengajarkannya hingga kepada kita selama 14 abad lebih, terjaga dan terpelihara,

“Sesungguhnya Kami-lah yang menurunkan Al Quran dan pasti Kami (pula) yang memeliharanya” (Al-Hijr:9)

Ayat ini memberikan jaminan tentang kesucian dan kemurnian Al Quran selama-lamanya hingga akhir jaman. Ayat pertama yang diterima Rasullaah Saw adalah surat Al ‘Alaq (1-5):
“Bacalah dengan (menyebut) nama Tuhanmu yang menciptakan. Dia telah menciptakan manusia dari segumpal darah. Bacalah, dan Tuhanmulah yang paling pemurah. Yang mengajar (manusia) dengan perantara kalam. Dia Mengajarkan kepada manusia apa yang tidak diketahuinya)”

Agar kita rajin membaca untuk mengetahui, mempelajari, memahami dan mengamalkan seluruh isi Al Quran.

Untuk Para Muslimah

Ummat Islam banyak yang menganggap remeh dalam berpakaian dan berpenampilan, khususnya wanita. Banyak wanita yang mengaku beragama Islam, tetapi menganggap jilbab, pakaian takwaan yang disyari’atkan agama, tetapi mereka menolaknya mentah-mentah, atas nama modernisasi, emansipasi wanita, di mana wanita bebas memilih pakaian yang ingin ia kenakan.
Padahal sebagai seorang wanita yang mengaku sebagai pemeluk agama Islam (Muslimah), seharusnya mereka tahu, bahwa dalam Islam, sebagai tanda ketakwaan mereka harus menjalankan perintah Allah SWT., secara keseluruhan, tanpa pilah pilih. Karena Islam itu, tunduk patuh pada syariat Allah. Sepenuhnya.
Allah berfirman:
Wahai anak Adam, sesungguhnya Kami telah menurunkan kepada kalian untuk menutupi aurat kalian dan pakaian indah untuk perhiasan. Dan pakaian takwa itulah yang paling baik. Yang demikian itu adalah sebagian dari tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah. Mudah-mudahan, mereka selalu ingat.” (al A’raf: 26)

Islam's Position on Polygamy

Dr. Bilal Philips

Muslims are often accused of being promiscuous because polygamy is legal in Islam.
Islam did not introduce polygamy. Unrestricted polygamy was practiced in most human societies throughout the world in every age. Islam regulated polygamy by limiting the number of wives and establishing responsibility in its practice.
Monogamy of the West inherited from Greece and Rome where men were restricted by law to one wife but were free to have as many mistresses among the majority slave population as they wished. In the West today, most married men have extramarital relations with mistresses, girlfriends and prostitutes. Consequently the Western claim to monogamy is false.

Muhammad`s Prohethood Reality or Myth

Author: Abdu-Radhi Muhammad Abdul-Mohsen
Publishing House: International Islamic Publishing House
ISBN: 978-9960-501-10-9


Muhammad has become a target for Islam's long-established adversaries and their armies of missionaries and orientalists who have aroused suspicions and propagated allegations against the Prophet of Islam and his Message. Their objective has always been to distort the image of the Prophet of Islam in the eyes of those who do not know him and consequently drive them away from studying Islam and contemplating it in a desperate attempt to lay obstacles in the path of Islam's mission so as to impede its vital role in guiding humanity.
Many Muslim scholars have written to defend the Prophet since doing so is an honor and a duty for them. However, such efforts have been made either incidentally in answer to orientalists and missionaries, or in the course of speaking about the evidence of prophethood in Islam. Furthermore, most of the writings were done by non-specialists, although the nature of the topic requires the knowledge of a number of aspects of Islamic philosophy, the history of religions, and western thought. All this made the present study an obligation dictated by the imperious need to introduce Islam as the only cultural alternative that is capable of convincing today's civilized man.
So, Was Muhammd a prophet or an imposter?
Did Moses really tell of his coming?
Did Jesus order future generations to follow him?
Does the bible describe him and his message?
All these are questions that the author is going to give answers in this book.
