THE WORK OF THE PROPHET- DAKWAH, BERPESAN-PESAN & MENGAJAR May 17, 2011 by mthago Allah has given the work of the Prophet to those who follows Prophet Muhammad saw. In the Quran Allah said in the approximate meaning, Oh Muhammad, tell your followers, that this my path,(way) to call peoples to Allah with full conviction and this is my path and the path(way) of those who follows me. Allah has given the work of calling peoples to Allah to Prophet Muhammad saw and to all who follows him. Those who follows Prophet Muhammad saw are known as the Prophet saw followers or Umat. Allah said in the Quran with the approximate meaning, you are the best Umat being sent to the entire mankind, because you invite peoples to good and you prevent peoples from evil and you believe in Allah. Allah call the followers of Prophet Muhammad saw as Umat, because this Umat will becomes the means upon which the whole mankind will obtain guidance and blessing of Allah when the followers of Prophet Muhammad saw are doing the work of inviting peoples to Good and preventing peoples from doing evils. What is the meaning of good in the above verse? Good means to be able to recite the Great Kalimah, that I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah and to be able to obey all the orders of Allah in the ways of Prophet Muhammad saw. What is the meaning of evils in the above verse? Evils means not to be able or refuse to recite the Great Kalimah, that I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness, Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah and not able or refuse to obey all the orders of Allah in the ways of Prophet Muhammad saw. Many do not understand what it really means by the good and evils mention in the verse. Many interpret evils as acts of promiscuity, illicit sex and all other related sexual abuse behaviours. None has ever interpreted it as disinclination to recite the Great Kalimah and the disobedience to obey the first and the second order of Allah which is to deliver the Great Kalimah to those who have verbalised the Great Kalimah and to perform the five times prayers with congregation. Our Islamic authorities do form groups known as “Pencegah Maksiat” to combat activities related to evils which we normally understand as acts of promiscuity and other acts of sexual abuses. What is the order of Allah that we have to work hard to make it alive? The order of Allah that we have to work hard to make it alive is the first order of Allah which all Muslims have neglected it for hundreds of years and that is the order to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. The order to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw is mentioned in the Quran but not mention or written in any books or Kitab written by our learned scholars of Islam. We cannot find it written in any books written by our learned scholars of Islam and so it was not learned by any students of Islamic studies in any schools of Islamic theology. Our Muslims scholars are not aware of the fact that the Umat of Muhammad saw are given the work of the Prophet saw and so the whole Umat also does not know that the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw is given to them. When Muslims learn about Islam in the schools, mosques or in the madrasah, they are not told by their Islamic religious teacher that the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw is also their work and the work of the Prophet saw is obligatory to them as it has been made obligatory to the Prophet Muhammad saw. Now, no one including the Muslim scholars knows that the work of the Prophet saw is also the work of all Muslims, males and females and that is the first order of Allah and it is the action associated with the First Pillar of Islam CLICK. Now Muslims in all over the world only knows that the First Pillar of Islam is only to recite the Great Kalimah in the presence of a witness only once in their whole life time. No Muslims ever understood that there is an action associated with the recitation of the Great Kalimah and that action is to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Now Muslims and Muslims scholars do not know what the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw is? As none of them has ever done the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. When we read any books or kitab written about Islamic practices we will not find any mention even a line of the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw and that it is also the work of each and every one of the followers of Muhammad saw. No Islamic books or kitab has ever written on how to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw as no one including the Muslims scholars ever knows on how to do the work of the Prophet saw. The whole entire Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw are ignorant about the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw which has been made obligatory to the each and every one of the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw. Although the work is made obligatory by Allah to the whole Umat, yet the work remain unclear and superficial to almost all the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw. Allah mention in the Quran with approximate meaning. Oh Muhammad, tell to all your followers that this is my way, to call peoples to Allah, with full conviction, this is my way and the way of those who follows me. The work of the Prophet is to call peoples to Allah. What is the meaning of calling peoples to Allah? It has the meaning of calling those who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah and this work of the Prophet saw is known as Dakwah or inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah which means I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Whoever has recited the Great Kalimah with a witness even once; he or she is a Muslim or has entered Islam. Whoever has recited the Great Kalimah has to be continually reminded about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and about the orders of Allah. This is also the work of the Prophet and it is known as the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Allah mention in the Quran with approximate meaning, remind each other about Allah and His orders and the work of reminding is good or beneficial to all Muslims. Among those Muslims who are reminded about Allah and His orders, some may want to become an obedience slave of Allah. It is also the work of the Prophet to teach those wanting to become an obedience slave of Allah about how to perform the orders of Allah the ways done by Prophet Muhammad saw. This part of the work of the Prophet is known as teaching. In other words the work of the Prophet, includes the work of inviting (Dakwah), reminding and teaching. Nowadays there is only one part of the work of the Prophet which is still alive and that is the work of teaching Muslims about all the orders of Allah except the orders to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and the order to remind the Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and the orders of Allah. The teaching of these two orders which are important parts of the work of the Prophets are completely neglected by Muslims and because of this the number of non-Muslims in the entire world who are invited by Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah has greatly reduced to almost none and the number of Muslims in the world who are reminded by other Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah has also greatly reduced to almost none. Muslims religious scholars are busy teaching all other orders of Allah except the orders to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw and most of the students who are attending the lectures delivered by the Muslims scholars in the mosques are consisting mainly of old folks who are no longer interested to study. In many mosques in Malaysia there is a gathering so call as Majlis Ilmu between the time of solat Magrib and solat Isya and the participants are mainly the retired Muslims who have no other activities to attend to and the teaching are mainly on the orders of Allah such us prayers but never on the order to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Muslims in the entire world does not know that the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw are made obligatory to all Muslims and Muslims in the entire world do not know on how to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. When the Umat of Prophet Muhammad saw does not do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw, Allah is angry with the whole Muslims in this world. When Allah is angry or not pleased with the Muslims, like a father to his son, Allah scold the Muslims by giving to the Muslims tyrant, injustice and corrupted leaders who are not kind and sympathetic to the Muslims and Allah made the enemies of the Muslims able to overpower the Muslims. Muslims will be made by Allah to become poor, stupid and easily control and deceived by their enemies. Some Muslims who do not know that everything happen to the Muslims happen with the permission of Allah, and Allah has permitted the enemies of Muslims to overpower Muslims because Muslims stop doing the work of the Prophet saw, start to retaliate to the enemies of Muslims who are doing injustice to the Muslims by attacking the enemies of Muslims using weapons and artilleries as the enemies of Muslims do. Those Muslims who attack the enemies of Muslims are label by the enemies of Muslims and also by some Muslims as terrorists. We have pity on these Muslims who try to solve the problems of Muslims using ways not in accordance to Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet saw. May Allah give guidance to them and if they have died, may Allah forgive their sins as they are ignorant and put them in Paradise with those who are believers. When Muslims start to do the works of the Prophet Muhammad saw which has been made obligatory by Allah, Allah will be happy with the Muslims, like a father to an obedience son, Allah will stop canning the Muslims and Allah will take away all the canes which Allah has used to cane the Muslims and Allah will made the Muslims to have good and just rulers. Muslims will be made by Allah to become rich, intelligent and they will become superior over their enemies. Muslims will become lovable communities who like to do good to other peoples and even to their enemies. Muslims will no longer have the image of terrorism but the image of group of peoples endowed with the quality of righteousness, kindness and loving. In order Muslims to solve all the problems facing the Muslim Umah, Muslims must go back to the obedience to the orders of Allah and the first order of Allah that Muslims must uphold is the order to do the work of the Prophet Muhammad saw CLICK.
