At the beginning had been declared that the faith of every person who says, "I believe" is not the same. In this section will discuss the negligence of those who do not believe it right. The lack of true commitment is a matter that causes weak faith. Before
proceeding with this topic, the reasons for the existence of these
differences can be explained by looking at how the Qur'an identify these
people, their views on religion, and their life goals.They are Faith No ReallyIn
the Qur'an, such people are also referred to as "those who are in the
diseased heart", "hypocrite", "those who turn back" or "those who stay
behind". Can
be seen that they belong to this class as a whole are not believers
and those of ignorance, as stated in the following verses:"People were not from your group and not (also) from them." (Q.s. al-Mujadalah: 14)."They
are in a quandary between the way (faith or disbelieve): do not go to
this group (of believers) and not (also) to the group's (unbelievers)."
(Q.s. an-Nisa ': 143).However, keep in mind that such people are generally living in the midst of the Muslims. Appearance, lifestyle, and some of them resemble the behavior of believers. But,
in fact, these people are not really like them because of the special
characteristics of the believers is their sincerity in worshiping God,
while these people do not have a strong faith in their hearts. Though they expressed faith, they are not true believers. Concerning this Allah says the following:"Among
mankind is he who says: 'We believe in Allah and the Hereafter, when
they were not really believers. They think to beguile Allah and the
believers, but they only deceive themselves and they do not realize." (Q.s. al-Baqara: 8-9).What they reveal very different from what is hidden in their hearts, this is because the "disease" that is in their hearts. This fact is also revealed in the Qur'an:"In their hearts is a disease, illness and plus God, and for them a painful punishment, because they lie." (Q.s. al-Baqarah: 10).Here means not a physical disease, but a spiritual nature. In the hearts of people who have this disease as it can not correctly understand the religion and practice it in life. Even
if he saw signs of God's existence in a brightly lit, he could not
subdue his heart to Him, and not observing the limits of his. He
was not able to live with the religion of Allah in full as though his
conscience has led him to the truth, he was too weak to practice what
is expressed by the tongue. Compared with the pleasures of Paradise, he considers that the worldly benefits is easier to obtain. Thus, he was so attached to this world and the hereafter can not appreciate the value it properly.They existence in the Midst Faithful PeopleIs
certainly an interesting thing to note, that those in whose heart
there is disease prefer to live together with people of faith, even if
they do not have the same ideals. One
of the reasons why they are so happy is because these people want to
make profits of religion and peace and environmental security of the
believers. They
feel more comfortable in the midst of the believers who show the noble
character, and prefer to live in the midst of this society that can
not be met on public ignorance. While
a little faith in their hearts, they are not disbelieve entirely,
though they can not fully integrate into the society of ignorance or to
the Islamic community. Doubt in their heart of this dilemma. They
found that life in this world more interesting, but they also want to
get the gifts which God has promised to believers in this world and in
the hereafter. Although they do not have genuine faith, have such thoughts, "Is this true?" and "What about the promises it really real?" cause
they hope that in addition to the worldly pleasures, they can also
reap the benefits of the graces and gifts that achieved by the
believers.They
hope that the believers will sincerely carry out the tasks ordered by
religion, while they themselves can take advantage of it mundane. However, if there are difficulties and problems they do not want to join together with believers. In the Qur'an, the behavior of people like that at the time of Prophet Muhammad. described as follows:"And
indeed there are those among you who is slack (the battlefield). So if
a misfortune befalls you he says: 'Behold, the Lord has conferred a
favor to me because I was not present with them. And if you get the
gift of ( victory)
of Allah, surely as if he said there was never any love between you
and him: 'Suppose, I would have with them, of course I got a big win
(again)'. " (Q.s. an-Nisa ': 72-3)."(They
are) those who wait (event) will happen to you (O believers). So if it
happens to you victory from Allah they say: 'Are not we (fought) with
you?' And if those who disbelieve may be successful (winning) they say: 'Are we not also win you and defend you from the believers?' Allah
will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection and Allah will never
give way to those who disbelieve to exterminate the believers. " (Q.s. an-Nisa ': 141).These
people want to profit from the benefits gained by those who believe,
sometimes they are trying to attract attention and convince people of
faith about their commitment to the religion. However,
because the believers have witnessed indifference and keloyoan which
has seemed openly, so they did not manage to influence it.Hypocrites
have corrupted minds, so they are trying to do tricks even among
themselves, and think that they can share in the rewards received by
those who believe in the next life. In the Qur'an, their real position is described:"On the day when the hypocrites men and women say to the believers:" Wait for us so we can take some of your light. ' It was said (unto them): 'Come ye to seek their own belakang1 and light (for you).' Then
held between them a wall that has a door. Next to it there is mercy,
and on the outside than there was tortured. People call them hypocrites
(the believers) and say: 'Were we not with you? " They
replied: 'Yes, but you harm yourself and wait (to our ruin), and you
hesitate, and deceived by empty wishful thinking that the ordinance of
God came, and have been cheated on by God (Satan) is very imposter. So on this day no ransom be accepted from you nor from those who disbelieve. Your place is hell. He is berlindungmu place. And he was so mean, nasty place again. "(Surat al-Hadid: 12-5).Such
people should realize that if they do not have a sincere faith in
their hearts, their lives in the midst of the believers there is no
point in the presence of God. Because
God has bestowed conscience, wisdom, and ability to weigh the man, he
would ask each person individually and give reward or punish
accordingly. Deeds done by one person outright, to gain His good pleasure, will get a reward from Him. Only the states of obedience is not enough, because a person's behavior must be compatible with what he said. Thus,
people who neglect their own self-deceived into thinking that just by
living in the midst of people of faith will help them on the Day of
Judgment. Consequences
in the Hereafter will be borne by the charity for the sake of his own
desires rather than to seek pleasure of Allah, stated in a hadith of
the Prophet Muhammad.: "Anyone who wants to hear (good virtues) - God
will make (real intention) be heard; and whoso shows (virtuous deeds) - God will show it. " (H.r. Bukhari Muslim).Those omissions in his heart There's Disease"And
of mankind there are those who worship God by being on the edge; then
if he acquired virtue, he remains in that state, and if he is replaced
by a disaster, turn it back. Lost it in the world and the Hereafter.
That It is a real loss. " (Q.s. al-Hajj: 11).This verse reveals the type of "spirit" shown by those who do not cling to religion. They seem so eager for his personal interests are not affected. Nevertheless, in the event of a conflict of interest, the passion and excitement they will disappear. Because they are not sure of the certainty, such a situation would make them revisit dituntunkan obligations in Islam. They
forget that God created this world as a test, that God will test
people through a variety of forms, both of which seem good or bad, and
that only those who committed and that alone will get the reward. Existing disease in their hearts to make them feel hesitant for any help of God. Rather
than entrust their fate to God, they instead fell into the valley of
despair and start thinking about bad things against God. Thus, the disease is hidden in their hearts had become visible to the surface. In the Qur'an, Allah describes how they lost the spirit of a sudden when facing trials and begin to doubt God's promise:"And
(remember) when the hypocrites and those who are diseased in his heart
saying: 'Allah and His Messenger promised us it no guile.'" (Q.s. al-Ahzab: 12).This attitude of course, because of deficiencies in their faith. Such people can not understand that what they are dealing with really is designed to test them. Those whose hearts are diseased in contrast to the believers who with sincere attitude when facing such tests. People
of faith become more enthusiastic and at peace with their belief in
God depend, whatever will happen to them, and know that Allah's help is
always near.Those who Stay BehindThe
people who show a tendency to have hypocritical thinking is completely
different with the believers as well as very distant from the Koran. Because
of their flawed beliefs, thoughts are not based on how to reach the
good pleasure of God, but solely in order to satisfy their own desires
and personal benefit. For this reason they consider that engages itself in the Islamic deeds is a vain thing. Because
of their belief in the afterlife rather vague, they argue that the
deeds are done for the afterlife does not bring sufficient benefits as
the reward of all their work and fatigue. As
such, they have a mind that is more profitable to devote their time to
obtain worldly benefits immediately rather than providing benefits to
Islam. Fearing fooled, they would rather restrained in the back to take an attitude of "moderate", as stated in the Qur'an:"And indeed there are those among you who is slack (the battlefield)." (Q.s. an-Nisa ': 72).In short, they are not passionate about anything that does not provide benefits to their real world.When
faced with a situation that requires the efforts for the sake of the
needy, the oppressed or those who believe, they retreated to the back. Always ask elderly, they are trying to make it very difficult. Because they do not live by faith, they lack motivation and energy to solve problems or accomplish a good job. They showed reluctance, either by withdrawing abruptly and leave the believers in trouble with work or apathetic.Nevertheless,
if the negligent person is given an offer to occupy a prestigious
position at a company with a high salary and then he also promised that
will also be a shareholder, so he showed outstanding performance, his
attitude will be very different. No
doubt, to weigh the benefits of that position, he will show great zeal
in his work and quickly settlements can provide a satisfactory issue. There
is a striking difference between the reluctance of these people when
it is expected to work for the sake of Islam, and the passion they show
when their interests are at stake. Because they prefer the worldly benefits compared to the pleasure of Allah is what causes their behavior changes such.Living in the Rear Not Profitable Yet A StupidityOf course, the reluctance of those in whose heart there is this disease lies in revealing how much of their lives. Can
not strive for the pleasure of Allah is a disadvantage, because any
effort expended in the way of Allah will bring the greatest benefit may
be achieved. Each charity is done by someone with a sincere will to bring the pleasure of Allah. God promises to give the best to his servants to please him, either when still in this world and in the hereafter. A devout Muslim who is not excited because he expects a reply that soon in this world. Knowing that God is pleased with the charity is doing enough for him. Allah,
the owner of justice, compassion, mercy and majesty of the eternal,
always ready to give credit for deeds done in His path, and said that
any charity, even if only for mustard seed or the atom, it will not be
wasted :"Verily,
Allah does not persecute someone even for small ant, and if there is a
virtue of small ant, Allah will fold gandakannya and gives from
Himself a great reward." (Q.s. an-Nisa ': 40)."People
who do good in this world gets (retaliation) is good. And verily the
Hereafter is better village and that's the best of places for those who
fear Allah." (Q.s. an-Nahl: 30)."(Luqman)
said: 'My son, if indeed there is (a deed) weight of mustard seed, and
are in stone or in heaven or in earth, Allah will bring it (it forth).
Allah is Subtle, Aware." (Q.s. Luqman: 16).It
was a very unwise thing to be reluctant in doing good works for the
more serious one charity, the greater the reward he received both in
this world and in the hereafter. Similarly, the more it fails, the loss itself precisely.www.harunyahya.com
