Simbol-simbol yang sekarang diidentikan dengan Islam memang sebenarnya bukan berasal dari Rasulullah saw, misalkan bulan sabit & bintang, bintang lima maupun bintang delapan. Kesemuanay adalah pengaruh kebudayaan lain. Kalau bulan-bintang itu berasal dari jaman Turki Utsmaniy Kemudian bintang delapan adalah berasal dari Melchizedek Priesthood Coba lihat di http://incider.byu.edu/vwb/symbol/geometricSymbolism.htm
The Eight Pointed Star or Two Intersecting Squares: Symbolic of the Priesthood or the Melchizedek Priesthood. These stars are found on the Nauvoo Temple and in the dome above the entrance to the Holy of Holies in the Salt Lake Temple as well as in the Terrestrial Room. On one of the mosaics in San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy, (400 AD), The High Priest Melchizidek is seen with Adam. An 8 pointed star is seen on the Altar / Table below them. The eight pointed star can be made of the perimeter of two offset squares. The number eight itself points to resurrection, rebirth, & renewal, (baptism at age 8), and the Savior, as he is the source of these. This symbol is very common in Islam and often refers to shrinking and expanding, pulsing, etc., a symbol for the influence of God in all living things / The Breath of the Compassionate -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ahmad Ridha Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 9:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [assunnah] Tanya: Simbol bintang 8 Ana sering melihat gambar bintang yang dibentuk dari dua bujur sangkar misalnya di masjid atau tempat lain.
