CHAPTER
II
Study
A. Testimony of
Allah and Prophet Muhammad Against knowledgeable people.?
In the Al-Quran Allah
Ta’ala says, “Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and so do the
angels and those of knowledge – (that He is) maintaining (creation) in justice.
There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.” (QS. Ali Imran :
18).
In the above verse,
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to ask the people of knowledge to testify to
something very great benefit given the testimony, the oneness of Allah Ta'ala.
It can be seen from his words that say, “Allah witnesses that there is no deity
except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge – (that He is)
maintaining (creation) in justice.” This shows the virtue of knowledge of the
people of knowledge for several reasons, including:
First, they were asked
by Allah the Almighty to witness the unity of His people who are knowledgeable,
and not a group of people to another.
Second, Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta’ala combines testimonies of magicians with his testimony.
Third, Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta’ala combines testimonies of people knowledgeable with the testimony of
his angels.
Fourth, in addition to
the above verse Allah contains recommendations concerning the sanctity of the
people knowledge, and justice. Only those fair alone is required by God. The
evidence is derived from the famous atsar Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu Alaihi wa
Sallam, "Science is in every generation is brought by people fair. They
dispose of science is distorted radical people (exaggeration), plagiarism
(plagiarism) liars, and takwil of fools. "
In other cases,
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ya'qub ibn Syaibah said,[1]
"I've seen someone complain others to judge to Ismail ibn Ishaq and accuse
him something. Ismail ibn Ishaq asked the truth of the charges to the
defendant, but the defendant refused the charges against him. Ismail ibn Ishaq
said to the defendant, 'Do you have any proof? "The defendant
replied," Yes. Si A and Si B. 'Ismail ibn Ishaq said,' Person A is
included witnesses, while the Si B does not. 'Isma'il ibn Ishaq said to the
defendant,' Are you able to introduce each of your witnesses to the judge? 'The
defendant replied,' Yes ! 'Judge Ismail ibn Ishaq said,' With what you
introduce it? 'The defendant said,' By the writing hadith. 'Isma'il ibn Ishaq
said,' How can you recognize it in writing hadith? 'The defendant said,' I do
not know him but the good- okay. 'said defendants further,' Verily the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallaahu Alaihi wa Sallam said, 'Science is in every generation is
brought by knowledgeable people from that generation. "Therefore, people
who are considered fair by the Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu Alaihi wa Sallam is
more important than the person you think is fair!' Isma'il ibn Ishaq said, ‘Immediately
go to Si B, because I have received the testimony.'"
Fifth, God give a
spesial adjective to them as people who are knowledgeable. This shows that
science is for them, and that they are the owners of the science, and science
friends.
Sixth, Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala asks Himself as "the greatest witness" to testify, then ask
his best creature to testify, that the Angels, and the men of knowledge among
His servants. This is sufficient as evidence of the primacy of the magicians
and their glory.
Seventh, Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala asking knowledgeable people to testify against the greatest
thing to be given the testimony, the noblest, and most, ie testify that none
has the right to be worshiped but Him alone. Indeed Greatest Essence was just
asking leaders to testify against creatures of something great.
Eighth, Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala make people knowledgeable testimony as evidence the dissidents. The
magicians were equivalent to the arguments of God, His verses and His evidence
indicating the oneness of Him.
Ninth, Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala menunggalkan action containing testimony from Him, His angels, and
knowledgeable people. He did not combine their testimony with the testimony of
his other actions. This shows the close relationship between his testimony with
the testimony of knowledgeable people. As if witnessing the Unity of God
Himself with their mouths and make them utter the testimony.
Tenth, Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala make knowledgeable people fulfill His rights over His servants with
this testimony. If they fulfill the rights of Allah, they are automatically
fulfilled to which the rights of God. Thus, the rights to which the fixed by
Allah. Therefore, all men without exception shall acknowledge Allah Ta'ala.
That was the peak of their happiness in this world and in the hereafter. Anyone
get a clue because their testimony and recognize God as their witness, they get
a reward for reward those who follow them.
Here's some of the
great gift that the weight value is not known to anyone except by Allah.
Similarly, those who testify as witness testimony, then they get a reward for
reward those who testify as their witness.
In another verse Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala testify with knowledgeable people and swear with them about
the truth of what Allah revealed to His Messenger. Allah Ta'ala says,
"So why I seek a
judge other than Allah, when He is the one who has lowered the Book (Al-Quran)
to you with the details? The people that we have to bring them the Book know
that Al-Quran was sent down from the Lord the truth, so be not occasionally
including those who doubt. "(Surat al-An'am: 114).
Among the well-known rule of the
knowledgeable people, they are saying, "These tools have laws such as the
destination." And that, in accordance with these rules, studying the same
as fighting in Allah, the question is, is there a jihad after the science?
Imam Al-Haafiz Ya'qub
ibn Sufyan al-Fasawi in his book At-Tarikh wa ma'rifah narrated with isnaad
from Abu Darda Radhiyallahu Anhu, who said, "Nor day someone went to the
mosque for the benefit to be learned or taught but the reward is written for
him as reward mujahid. He did not come home in a state but he got the spoils of
war. "
The meaning of the
above is extracted from the words of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu Alaihi wa
Sallam narrated by Anas ibn Malik Radhiyallahu Anhu reported that the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallaahu Alaihi wa Sallam said,
"Whoever is out to
seek knowledge, then he is in the way of Allah until he gets home."
(Reported by At-Tirmidhi and Ath-Thabrani).
Imam Ibn Qayyim
Al-Jauziyyah said in his book that captivates Miftahu daari As-Sa'adah vol I page
273, "Demand in the way God made science, because science is a pillar of
Islam and a pillar of Islam is jihad. So the pillars of science and religion is
jihad. "
It is also claimed that
the Prophet prayed radiant who heard his saying, understand it, and teach it to
others. At-Tirmidhi and others narrated the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud ra of
the Prophet Muhammad, who said,
"Allah make
radiant the hearing sabdaku, then understand it, memorize it, and present it to
others. It could be carriers of knowledge that go to people who are smarter it.
Three things that do not make envious hearts of the Muslims; to be sincere to
deed for God, advising the leaders of the Muslims, and commitment in their
congregation. Indeed prayer covering from behind them.
B.
The association with the glory of science and the perfection of Allah Given To
the People Who Learn it.
In the Qur'an, Allah
Ta'ala describes the degree elevation knowledgeable people and believers in
particular. Allah Ta'ala says,
"O you who believe
in Allah, when it is said to you, 'charitable-lapanglah in the majlis,' Exert
then Allah will give spaciousness to you, and when it is said, 'Get up you
guys,' then Allah will exalt stand those who believe between you and those who
are given knowledge to some degree, and Allah is Aware of what you are doing.
"(Al-Mujadilah: 11).
And in another verse
Allah commands the believers to deepen their religious learning. Allah says,
"It is fitting for
those who went all believers (to war). Why not get away from each faction among
them some people to deepen their knowledge of the religion and to warn their
people when they have been returned to him, so that they can keep him.
"(Surat At-Tawbah: 122).
It also indicates that
God does not allow believers to go all fight but there must be others whom are
going to study, and to be counsel for some of the others.
In another narration, the
Prophet explains in His hadith that God gives advantages to those knowledgeable
of experts worship. At-Tirmidhi said, that tells us that Muhammad bin Abdul
A'la said, that told us Slamah bin Raja 'who said, that told us Al Walid bin
Jamil, who said, that told us from Abu Al-Qasim Umamah Al-Bahili who said that
the Messenger of Allah Rasulullah Alaihi wa Sallam told two people: one person
knowledgeable and expert of worship, then the Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu
Alaihi wa Sallam said,
"The advantages of
the knowledgeable people, the experts worship is like kelebihanku upon
you." Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu Alaihi wa Sallam said again,
"Verily Allah, His angels, the inhabitants of the heavens, the inhabitants
of the earth, until the ants burrow, and to whales at sea certainly pray the
people who teach kindness to man. "(Reported by At-Tirmidhi).
At-Tirmidhi said,
"The above hadith hasan hadeeth Gharib. I heard Abu Ammar al-Husayn ibn
al-Khuzai Huraits say that I heard al-Fudhail bin Iyadh said, 'Ulama who apply
their knowledge and teach it to the otherd will be called as great in the
kingdom of heaven. "
Muslim narrated in his
Saheeh from Abu Hurairah RA, who said that the Messenger of Allah said,
"Those who pass
this way, in which, he is seeking knowledge, Allah makes it easy for him the
way to heaven." (HR. Muslim).
CHAPTER
III
Method
A.
Request
Additional Science
Allaah commanded His Prophet
to ask for additional kepad his knowledge. Allah says,
"Almighty God is
the King who Actually the truth, and do not be in haste to read the Quran
before mewahyukannya refined thee, and say, 'O my Lord, add science to
me.'" (Surah Taha: 114).
Suffice glory of
science that Allah commanded His Prophet to ask him additional knowledge.
B.
That
science is to be thankful for Favors
Almighty Allah reminds
His servants who believe in His favors, ordering them grateful, and remember
him who have done good to them by giving favors to them. Allah Ta'ala says,
“Just as We sent to you
a messenger from among you, who recites Our revelations to you, and purifies
you, and teaches you the Book and wisdom, and teaches you what you did not
know.” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 151)
C.
To
the envy of Science
Mentioned in Saheeh
Al-Bukhari and Saheeh Muslim from the hadeeth of Ibn Mas'ud RA who said that
the Messenger of Allah said,
"Do not be envious
except for two people; those who are given gifts by God and then he used it in
the truth, and those who were given God's wisdom then he decided (case), with
it and teach it." (Narrated by Muslim).
In the above hadith,
the Prophet explained, that one should not feel envious of others, except in
one of the two properties, which do good to people with knowledge or wealth.
nSelain on both the nature of jealousy is not allowed because of the lack of
perceived benefits to be human.
D.
Getting
The Science With Learning
Ibn Mas'ud RA said,
"Let your cares before the science is lifted. She picked up the science is
the death of the scholars. By the One whose soul is in the hands of his, surely
those who are slain in Allah's way as the martyrs' God wants resurrected as
clergy because they see the glory that is the cleric. Surely he was not born as
a man of learning, but the learning of science. "
E. Putting Science Syari'i as Priority
Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam put the people who has knowledge in the strategic
position of the most religious and the most noble. He is a person because of
his knowledge precedence over others.
Muslim narrated in his
Saheeh hadith of Abu Mas'ud al-Badri of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi
wa sallam who said,
"The right to lead
the people (congregation) who is most Qari’ '(memorized) the Book of Allah. If
their qira'ah are the same together, then who among those who best know the
Sunnah. If the same understanding of the Sunnah, then who among those most used
to convert to Islam or the old. "(Narrated by Muslim).
In the hadith above,
for the priesthood the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam prioritize aspects
of science than seniority converted to Islam and moved. Because knowledge of
the Quran more precious than knowledge of the Sunnah, then the knowledge of the
Quran precedence. Then the knowledge of the Sunnah would take precedence over
emigration. He put forward the scientific seniority later deeds, and in favor
of people because of their knowledge over others. It shows the glory and
virtues of science, and that the knowledgeable people, the right to occupy
positions of high religious.

A. Conclusion
Based on the explanation above, the matter can be
taken multiple conclusions, that science is something that is very precious in
the sight of Allah Ta'ala, and because that's the glory of God also glorifies
the people of knowledge. Science is also a gift of God for man to be grateful,
to learn it, practice it, and teach it to others. Science is also a way of
salvation, as well as the road to happiness. People who go in search of
knowledge, Allah will ease for him the way to heaven. Perfection is achieved by
science, he is also a cure for heart disease. And the glory of science is seen
and expressed themselves by Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu
'alaihi wa sallam.
B. suggestion
As a Muslim who
believes that Allah alone is God worthy of worship, the most important task is
to worship Allah Ta'ala. In this case, the service of the demands of science
itself. So with all my heart the authors suggest to yourself and also to keep
the spirit of the readers and do not easily discouraged in the pursuit of
knowledge that have been propagated God on this earth. As a form of obedience
to God Almighty and also to the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam
as prophets sent by God.
