Islam
flattering high value work and hate against lazy. Prophet advised his followers
to always pray every morning and evening in order to avoid spring fever.
"O Allah, protect me rather than the weak and lazy". Prophet said:
"Looking for sustenance is halal is obligatory for every Muslim". In
another hadith mentioned: "Trying to find sustenance pray after the
obligation after obligation of prayer". So high position looking for sustenance.
Because of this, God reminds the obligation of prayer and work in one verse in
surat Al Jumuah. Words of the Prophet: "Looking for halal sustenance is
like a hero who fought on the battlefield and anyone who fell asleep exhausted
because of work look for halal sustenance, God forgive his sins when he's
asleep." On another occasion the Prophet said: "Looking for halal
sustenance like jihad in the path of Allah."
Currently
we are many that constricts the meaning of jihad. According to Said Aqil Siradj
- lecturer of UIN Jakarta and Chairman of jihad PBNU- including build something
for the good of many people, such as building roads, bridges, or hospitals.
This is because Islam aspire to build tamaddun (= civilization) through
science, technology, culture, and noble character.
This
is also why people who pay for the widows and the poor is called like a fighter
in the way of Allah, and those who always run like a prayer night without
stopping or like a person who is always fasting without breaking. In another
hadith reads commands: jumpailah God with filial to your parents. When you have
done so, Samalah with pilgrimage, going to umrah, and jihad. Hadith narrated by
Ahmad: "Do all of you like to tell me who I love very many are you and
later on the Day of Resurrection sitting closest to me? When present
simultaneously want to answer, then he said: "the good behavior '".
