Thinking can liberate people from the shackles of witchcraft
8:34 AM | Author: setiya
In the Qur'an, Allah says about those who think consciously, pondered and eventually up to the truth that makes them fear Allah. Instead, Allah also states that people who follow their predecessors in blind imitation without thinking, or just simply follow the existing practice, is in error. When asked, the imitators who do not want to think it will answer that they are the people who run religion and faith in Allah. But because not think, they just do worship and activities of life without the fear of Allah. The mentality of this group as described in the Qur'an:

Say: Unto whom this earth, and all that is him, if ye know? "

They will say: "To Allah." Say: "Will you not remember?"

Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of 'the great Throne?"

They will say: "To Allah." Say: "Will you not be cautious?"

Say: "Who is in His hand is power over all things is he protecting, but no one can be protected from (adzab) Him, if ye know?"

They will say: "To Allah." Say: "(If so), then from the street where you tricked (by magic)?"

"Actually, we have brought the truth to them, and in fact they are really people who lie." (Surat al-Muminun, 23: 84-90)


In the above verse, Allah said to man, "... then the path where you tricked (by magic)?. Bewitched or enchanted word here has a meaning or a sense of mental paralysis which humans mastered thoroughly. Intellect is not used to thinking means that reasonable has been paralyzed, blurred vision, behaving as someone who does not see the reality before his eyes, which owned the means to discern right from wrong to be weak. He could not understand a simple truth though. He can not raise his awareness to understand events extraordinary events taking place around him. He was not able to see parts of a complex of events there. What caused the society as a whole lost in life for thousands of years of neglect and distance themselves from thinking that seemed to have become a tradition is this sense of paralysis.
The influence of collective magic that can dikiaskan as follows:

Below the earth's surface there is a boiling layer, called magma, whereas the earth's crust is very thin. Thick layer of crust over the whole earth is as thick skin of the apple than the apple itself. This means that the red-hot magma is so close to us, under our feet!

Everyone knows that beneath the earth's surface is a boiling layer with very hot temperatures, but the man did not think much about it. This is because the parents, relatives, relatives, friends, neighbors, a writer in the newspaper article they read, the producers of TV programs and their professors at the university did not think about it.

Allow us to invite you to think briefly about this issue. Suppose someone who has lost his memory trying to identify around with asking questions to everyone around him. First he asked where he was. Do you think he will come to mind when notified that under where he stood, there is a boiling ball of fire that can be radiated and scattered from the Earth's surface at a great earthquake or a mountain erupt? Let's talk further and suppose that these people have been told that the earth where he was just a small planet floating in space is very large, dark and empty space is called. This space has the potential for greater danger than these earth materials, such as: meteor-meteor with a ton of weight that moves freely in it. It is not possible meteor-meteor is moving toward the earth and then hit it.

Odds this person capable of not thinking a second when he was in a place filled with danger threatening every moment of his soul. He would think also how humans can live in a planet that is constantly on the horns, very fragile and endanger his life. He then realized that this condition only occurs because of a perfect system without the slightest defect. Although the earth, where he lived, has a danger of overwhelming, but her system is very accurate balance that can prevent these hazards so as not to befall mankind. Someone who realize this, understand that the earth and all creatures on it can establish a life in peace only with the will of Allah, caused by the perfect balance of nature and without disabilities who created him

The above example is just one among millions, or even trillions of examples that should be pondered by man. Below is one more example that hopefully helps in understanding how the "state neglect" may affect the means of human thought and disables the ability of reason.

Humans know that life on earth over and over very quickly. Strangely, they still behave as though they would never leave the world. They do the job as if the world there is no death. Indeed, this is a form of magic or a spell that passed on by generations. This condition affects so great that when one talked about death, people immediately stop the subject for fear of losing the magic that had been imprison them and do not dare to face reality. Mengabiskan person his whole life to buy a nice house, summer lodging, car, and then send their kids to good schools, do not want to think that one day they will die and not be able to bring a car, home, or child - children with them. As a result, instead of doing something essential to life after death, they chose not to think about death.

However, sooner or later every human being would have died. After that, believe it or not, everyone will start a life everlasting. Is eternal life took place in heaven or in hell, depending on the charitable deeds during her short life in the world. Because this is a truth that would happen, so the only reason why people behave as if death were not there is a magic that has closed or imprison them because not think and reflect.

The people who can not free themselves from the magic in the way of thinking, which resulted in their omission, will see the truth with their own eyes after their death, as Allah preached to us in the Qur'an:

"Verily, you are in a state of neglect of the (case), then we reveal the lid than you (the cover) your eyes, the sight of the day is very sharp." (Qur'an, 50: 22)

In the above verse vision becomes blurred because someone did not want to think, but his vision became sharper after he was resurrected from the grave and when mempertanggung responsibility of all deeds in the Hereafter.

Need underlined that people may intentionally allowed himself to be handcuffed by such magic. They think that by doing this they will live with peacefully. Thank Allah that it is very easy for someone to change such conditions, and eliminate mental disability or reason, so he can live in the awareness to know the reality. Allah has given to man a way out; people who reflect and think will be able to release themselves from the shackles of magic when they were still in the world. Next, he will understand the purpose and the essential meaning of all existing events. He will be able to understand the wisdom of whatever Allah created all the time.

Tturbulence Muslim Thinkers
6:09 AM | Author: setiya
Friends of all, the night nisfu sa'ban we skip this is very clear is Ramadan, where all the good deeds and charity in our case in the countdown terkecilpun akan pleated by Allah SWT, our faith as a brace this opportunity I have stories that will arouse insyaallah us to further deepens Teachings of Islam. let's see together.

I find many of the other Bible verses. However, during the last five years none of ustadz that kutemui can meyakinkanku to enter Islam, to finally meet a Muslim trust.
I was born in Andreas Abraham Protestant family in 1965 in Jakarta. I always move home and the school where my father as a police office. My high School in Medan.Tahun in 1991 moved to Yogyakarta. Now living in Ciputat.
I lecture on theology in 1997 at Jogja. A year later, I often argue with the ustadz. One-back at them as losers compete with the argument. I always easy to overcome them, because they are not especially deep in the religion. Meanwhile, every day I demanded to learn the Qur'an and the Bible as a Christian to enter the stock Islam. In studying them, I find many changes in the Bible but not with the Qur'an.
Any country in the Holy Qur'an printed in Arabic always use the exact same even though different years printed. While the Bible, published year is also different redaction verses. For example, in the mold in 1941 and 1991 years mentioned forbidden to eat pork (Leviticus 11:7-8) and in print in 1996 and 2007 in the same paragraph that eating pork is forbidden forest. That is, if that does not keep clean!
Strange, when God rectify it? And many other contradictions that the imanku. But I have a glance of Islam. Because I still assessing what Islam consist of by people.

Bath flower

In 2000 I was assigned to Madura. There I met Imran Kyai in Batu Ampar. He spoke what was I do not care. Because that is how my mind to make other people enter the Christian. Invite him to read it in my personal library.
I am interested in the start of Islam, especially when reading the history of Prophet Muhammad SAW convey his teachings in Mecca and Medina in the implementation of Islam. Growing up to lead the civilization of the world.
I record important information from each book that I read. One of the book titled Islam from A to Z. The book was very unusual for me. Discuss economic issues, social, cultural and other perspectives of Islam than the system in the UK.
After it from there, in 2001, I even study theology in Grogol Jakarta. Year 2002 I wish I submit to enter Islam in Muslim-my friend. He found me with a Kyai in Pandeglang. Thursday, we stayed in the house. I ordered the flower bath in the night prior to the confession Shalat Friday.
Kiai is menyan turn, cut the chicken. I ordered the flower bath. In my heart said, for I have learned that Islam is not like this. Rasulullah SAW kutahu the only confession guide only. I do not feel comfortable to ask why this ritual is done. So, when there is an opportunity, I immediately blurred!

Muslim thinkers

On 2 August 2003, I am acquainted with Budiman Sitompul. When he kutahu Islamic people, kuutarakan masalahku. He promised to mempertemukanku with a ustadz that without such a bizarre ritual. Three days later, we meet it is.
"I Wayuman Wongso a Muslim thinker," said a delighted ustadz called Abu Hisan that. "Puji God, I dipertemukan with Muslim thinkers and Andreas Abraham, also a Christian thinker," I said. We also discussed. He explains Islam is similar to the books that I read it in Madura.
Then he said, "But sorry, when you see the condition of Muslims at this time, you do not directly consider the concept of Islam is wrong. For the collapse of leadership since the Islamic Turkish Muslims to be broken like this. " He also explained extensively about Islamic belief and continued leadership since Rasul Hijrah to Madinah until fall Khilafah in Turkey.
I remember the words of direct cross-religious lecturer Edwyin Luiskul when filling in the course Grogol. He says, do not be afraid to Islam despite their majority in number but in a minority role. Because they do not have a union leadership. Islam akan giant back into a strong bond when one of leadership.
Abu Hisan and I also discussed each day. But on the day I was invited Kamisnya church to give spiritual splash of water in one of the hotels in Jakarta. Of course in the inner heart of conflicts. I may not refuse it because one of my duties as pastor.
For that I be paid each month. Added supplies and household needs, education for my daughters, all of the cost of treatment I and my children by the wife of the church. When I submit my determination to enter Islam, clearly I will lose it all.
Returned from the hotel, I am very nervous. And I direct that a Muslim thinker. Kuceritakan all. He even foreverglo I, but it is exactly that makes me determined unanimously to fathom and embrace Islam. He said that he was a lawyer, get a lot of money, but his life suffering. Because of him, would not want to, need to defend a guilty client.
He was leaving work after the turn of turn on the concept of Islam which he got from the Islamic activists mengontaknya. "I can now Alhamdulillah be grateful as is, happy to spread the religion of Islam invites people to apply Syariat Islam," he said.
I believe the more people that this is kucari, I remember greeting lecturer in cross-cultural Rambadeta Grogol. He said that Islam is Syariat, Syariat of Islam. So do not apply to Muslims Syariat. Because it will make the Muslims back into a giant and we ant!
Since then, I determined unanimously to select any Islamic succession struggle and the risk that Muslims back into a giant. Esoknya So, before Friday prayers, with community leaders witnessed Serua Ciputat, I trust that led to Muslim confession of faith. Alhamdulillah
