A Moving Leaf

When we travel to a forest, mountain, or a village there are still a lot of trees, of course we will not loose sight of trees, grass, leaves, and other natural phenomena. The following story is a true story witnessed by Ustadz Sharif Suhendar and Saeful Rohman (Master SAE) when traveling to one location in Rancaupas Bandung West Java Indonesia.

They watched a leaf that does not stop moving even though there was no wind. This is different from other leaves that only move when there was a breeze that touches the leaves. The leaf could also be held for a while, but after being released, the leaf is moving back to normal (moving on without stopping).

Although no direct research on this incident but based on modern science, it can certainly be a normal phenomenon just like the theory of aero dynamics. A Muslim may claim that it is (a moving leaf) is one of power and miracles of God, but only within reasonable limits as a form of self-introspection of obedience to Allah. Do not let this incident make calamity by making the leaf as offerings or by performing special worship and prayer around the leaf.

A Muslim must make natural phenomena like that to further examine the science to support, develop, and improve the technology without leaving obedience to God.

The Revelation and the Beginning of Opposition In 610 CE, Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) in the Cave of Hira near Mecca. At the time, Mecca was a center of trade, tribalism, and polytheism. The Prophet’s message of monotheism—worshiping one God—directly threatened the socio-economic and religious structure maintained by the Quraysh tribe, the ruling elite of Mecca. When the Prophet began to openly preach Islam, the opposition intensified. He called for justice, equal...

New Year Celebration

Photo credit : http://wordplay.hubpages.com In Islam , there are only two holidays, namely the day of 'Eid ul-Fitr and' Eid al-Adha. The rest, nothing so as a Muslim, there is no interest whatsoever to celebrate the new year. The most important thing for a Muslim is to pay attention to the time that never cease to be filled with deeds, including in the new year 2012. The whole man is in loss except for the faithful and do good works, encourage one another in righteousness and admonish one another in patience. By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
