Knowing God and human sin borne alone.

God in letter Fatir verse 18 warns people that the sins of a person's own responsibility and he himself should be held accountable before God in the hereafter, one's sins can not be borne by others, or by any human being, including the Prophet and His Messenger.

In Islam as God's Word in the letter Fatir, that no prophet (messengers) that can bear the sins of another human being.

Qur'an was the only scripture that God guarantee the authenticity and maintained until the Day of Resurrection (as described in the Quran and Sunnah).

KNOW GOD SWT

By

Ustadz Isma'il Abu Muslim Al-Atsari

Merits of a case depends on the knowledge learned in the art. Because there is nothing more noble than Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, then science is the science of knowing Allah the most exalted. Allah knows the way it can be done through:

• Verses kauniyah (signs majesty of Allah in the universe or all creatures), and

• Verses Syar'iyah (signs majesty of Allah, in His Shari'ah or religion).

Getting to know Allah Almighty includes four parts:

1. Know the existence of Allah.

2. Know rububiyah oneness of Allah.

3. Know the uluhiyah oneness of Allah (Allah rights for diibadahi)

4. Know the names and attributes of Allah Almighty

The fourth section is a unity, should not be separated. Here is a brief explanation of the four cases above.

1. KNOW GOD IS SWT

We must believe that Allah, the Creator of all creatures really exist, even though we never met, seen, heard directly. Lots of the arguments that demonstrate this. Among them the word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala:

أم خلقوا من غير شيء أم هم الخالقون

Were they created by nothing (ie, without a Creator), or whether they are creating (themselves)? [ath-Thur / 52: 35]

That is, the human condition or an existing creature can not be separated from one of three circumstances:

a. They exist without a Creator. It is not possible. There is no common sense could accept that something is there without being made.

b. They create themselves. It is no longer possible. Because how could something that was not originally there was to create something that exists.

c. This is the Truth, that Allah Almighty has created them, He is the Creator, Ruler, no partner for Him.

An Arab bedouin asked, "What is the evidence of the existence of Almighty Allah?" He replied, "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)! Indeed camel droppings indicate the presence of camels, footprint shows the trip! Then the sky has stars, the earth has roads, oceans have waves, does not that indicate al-Latif (Allah Almighty Good) al-Khabir (All-Knowing). "

Imam Ahmad rahimahullah asked about this, he replied, "There is a strong fortress, smooth, no doors and windows. Silvery white exterior, it as pure gold. When in such circumstances, the sudden walls split, then get out of it an animal that can hear and see, has a beautiful shape and a melodious voice. "

Which is meant by Imam Ahmad is a chicken coming out of their eggs. [See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, the letter al-Baqarah, verse 21]

Real belief in the Creator, Allah Almighty, is fithrah beings. Hence Pharaoh, even the devil, also believe this. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says about Pharaoh and his people who deny the miracles of Moses Alaihissallam:

وجحدوا بها واستيقنتها أنفسهم ظلما وعلوا فانظر كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين

And they (Pharaoh and his people) because of injustice and arrogance deny (their) hearts when they believe (truth) of her. So see how was the end of those who do perish. [an-Naml / 27: 14]

Therefore, it is not merely a person believes in Allah means that he is a Muslim or a believer.

2. Oneness of Lordship KNOW GOD SWT

Rububiyah we must believe in the oneness of Allah, namely that only Allah who create, own, control, and manage all creatures. Only Allah Almighty who turn on, turn off, giving rizqi, bring good, to bring disaster. No partner to Allah Almighty in all cases above, nor angels, prophets, saints, genie, spirit, or others.

Lordship (create, own and regulate / control of) the entire universe belongs to Allah alone. Allah Almighty says:

الحمد لله رب العالمين

Praise be to Allah, Rabb (Owner, Ruler) universe. [al-Fatihah / 1: 2]

Type of monotheism is not denied by the polytheists in the time of the Prophet, even they admit, as stated by some verses of al-Qur'ân. Among other things, the word of Allah Almighty.

قل من يرزقكم من السماء والأرض أمن يملك السمع والأبصار ومن يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي ومن يدبر الأمر فسيقولون الله فقل أفلا تتقون

"Say, 'Who gives sustenance to you from heaven and earth, or who is authorized (created) hearing and vision, and who issued a living from the dead and the dead from the living, and who manage all affairs" Then they (the Pagans of ignorance) replied, "Allah". Then say: "Why do you not fear Him (to Him)?" [Yunus / 10: 31]

Likewise, the Devil recognizes this, he acknowledged that Allah was the one that was created from the fire.

قال ما منعك ألا تسجد إذ أمرتك قال أنا خير منه خلقتني من نار وخلقته من طين

God said, "Are you off to prostrate (to Adam) at the time I told you?" The devil replied, "I'm better thereof: You created me from fire was him You created from clay." [al-A'raf / 7: 12]

Therefore, someone who believes in the oneness of Allah and His power can not be called a Muslim or a believer until he believe in the oneness of Allah uluhiyah, also believe in the names and attributes of Allah, as will be explained below.

3. uluhiyah oneness KNOW GOD (HIS RIGHT TO DIIBADAHI).

We believe that the right diibadahi only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Shall not give worship to other than Allah, even though the creature is close to him, like an angel or messenger of Allah Almighty. Moreover, the creatures that rank below them, such as: human beings, jinn, animals, trees, stones, weapons, planets, stars, or other.

Tawheed is this meaning contained in the words la ilaha illallah, because its meaning is no eligible diibadahi besides Allâh. He Almighty says:

إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين

You alone are our ibadahi thou art and unto us for help. [al-Fatihah / 1: 5]

Allah Almighty also says:

قل إنما يوحى إلي أنما إلهكم إله واحد فهل أنتم مسلمون

Say, "Surely that is revealed to me was," Behold Ilahmu (you ibadahi) is the one true god, then let you have surrendered (unto Him). "[Al-Anbiya '/ 21: 108]

Uluhiyah belief in the oneness of Allah (His right to diibadahi) This is the core of all the apostles preaching. And this is denied by the polytheists and infidels. Allah Almighty says.

وعجبوا أن جاءهم منذر منهم وقال الكافرون هذا ساحر كذاب)4(أجعل الآلهة إلها واحدا إن هذا لشيء عجاب

"And they wonder because their arrival a warner (messengers) from among them; and the disbelievers say," This is a wizard, a charlatan ". Why did he make the gods of the gods the One alone. Indeed, this is true -Right an astounding thing. [Shad / 38: 4-5]

The purpose of the introduction of the oneness of Allah uluhiyah this is that we love Allah, submission to Him, fear and hope in Him, and the Oneness of worship to Him.

The worship of Allah is humble and obedient to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala with full devotion, exaltation, expect mercy, and fear of chastisement. This was done by carrying out the command of Allah Almighty and away from his ban.

The scope of worship that is all that is loved and blessed by Allah Almighty, in the form of words and perbuataan, who was born and the mind.

Worship will be accepted by Allah with two conditions, namely sincere and mutâba'ah. Ikhlas, namely: seeking the pleasure of Allah alone, while mutâba'ah, which follow the Sunnah (teachings) of the Prophet Muhammad.

Therefore, people who believe in the oneness of Allah for diibadahi right, he will offer up the kind of worship to Him alone. Among the types of worship is absolute obedience to the hope and fear; love that accompanied the absolute submission; prayer; intention in worship (sincere); slaughtering animals; fear; trust; and others.

4. KNOWN NAMES AND NATURE OF GOD

Namely faith and determine all the names of Allah and His attributes, which are in the book of al-Qur'ân and Sunnah are authentic, without likening the creature.

Allah Almighty says,

ولله الأسماء الحسنى فادعوه بها وذروا الذين يلحدون في أسمائه سيجزون ما كانوا يعملون

"It belongs to Allah Asma-ul Husna, then bermohonlah him by calling Asma-ul Husna and tinggalakanlah those who deviate from the truth in the (call) names him. Later they will be rewarded for what they do. [al-A'raf / 7: 180]

ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير

There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing. [ash-Shura / 42: 11]

Verily Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is Who Knows all things, including the most know about Allah is Allah Almighty alone. Allah Almighty says:

قل أأنتم أعلم أم الله

Say: "Are you more knowing or is Allah?" [al-Baqarah / 2: 140]

Likewise, most know about Allah among all beings is His Messenger. So that the explanation of the Apostles of Allah Almighty is the haq. While the words of the infidels and polytheists of Allah merely suspected. Allah says:

سبحان ربك رب العزة عما يصفون)180(وسلام على المرسلين)181( والحمد لله رب العالمين

Holies your Lord who has the courage of what they say, and well-being bestowed upon the Apostles, and praise be to Allah the Lord of the universe cried. [ash-Saffat / 37: 180-182]

Therefore recognize the name and the nature of Allah Almighty is just by way of revelation. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal rahimahullah said of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam:

إن الله ينزل إلى سماء الدنيا

Indeed Allah took to the skies the world

Or:

إن الله يرى في القيامة

Verily Allah will be seen on the Day of Judgment

And similar to the hadiths, "We believe in him and justify it, without (asking) how, without (set) meaning (the others), without rejecting anything of it. And we know that all that is brought by the Prophet n is haq We do not reject the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. And we do not mensifati Allah more than he qualifies himself with no restrictions and no end. (Allah Almighty says :)

ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير

There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing. [ash-Shura / 42: 11]

And we say (about the nature of Allah) as he said; Our characterization of him with all the properties that Allâh use for the characterization of himself; And we do not violate the restrictions. And penyifatan of people who qualifies him not up to His essence. We believe al-Qur'ân everything, either muhkam (meaning unclear) and mutasyabih (meaning vague). And we will not remove from him the nature of any of his properties because of the abominations that made-up, we do not encroach on the Quran and al-Hadith. And we do not know per se except to justify the Messenger of n and set al-Qur'ân. "[Lum'atul I'tiqad, p. 3]

These are the parts familiar to Allah and believe in Him. Hopefully this explanation adds to knowledge for all of us, and may Allah always guide us on the straight path. Aamiin.
