Etymologically,
which is a branch of linguistics that studies the origin of a word, worship is
taken from the word “abada”, “ya'budu”, “Abdan”, “fahuwa 'aabidun”. “Abid”
means servant or slave, ie, someone who does not have anything. Himself
belonged to his master. All activities of life slave only to obtain his
master's pleasure and avoid his wrath. Body and soul for worship of Allah. Not
created the stan and mankind except to worship to Allah (Adh Dzariyat: 56).
We
know of two types of worship, the worship “mahdhah” and “ghairu mahdhah”, but
it seems we often forget to differentiate and position it appropriately. This
is fatal consequences. And this, too, which makes me compelled to write this
book.
Worship
“mahdhah” has four principles namely: existence must be based on the existence
of arguments of the command, the procedure foloow patterned of Rasul SAW, supra
rational or not the size of the logic, and principles on the
"obedient". The purpose of this exercise of worship is for compliance
or obedience servant. Physical obedience and liver. The implementation should
not permuted, and not too creative. “Mahdhah” worship, often referred to as
worship in the strict sense, is the activity or actions specified terms and “rukunnya”.
Condition, manner, or order pre-determined stages. Through this worship
intertwined relation of a servant to Allah, and avoid to the human relationship
with itself and with other human beings. Worship “mahdhah” includes ablution
Tayammum, bath hadats, azan, iqamat, praying, reading the Quran, I'tikaf,
fasting, Hajj, Umrah, and organized bodies.
Meanwhile,
“ghairu mahdhah” worship, in addition to having the dimensions of servant
relationship with God, is also a relationship or interaction between slave with
other creatures. Horizontal relationship with nature. The principles in this
ceremony are: existence is based on the proposition that prohibits absence, the
procedure not need a rigid pattern for example the Apostle, is rational, and
the principles on benefits. As long as something helpful, it should be done. It
is all good deeds for Allah SWT. Belonging to this group are all forms of
kindness to living such as eating, drinking, making a living, and so on. Anyway
everything outside of worship mahdhah mentioned earlier. Tenets of human
interaction is the procedure that is run in earnest based on the Qur'an and
hadith. If we are forbidden to worship mahdhah creative, in human muamalah
strongly encouraged to be creative as long as not contrary to the established
law.
Worship
includes both. Do not be reduced only to worship “mahdhah”. Whatever activity
all classified into the worship of God commands. Then, what is more important?
In some ways he could be conditional. Did not the apostle accelerate prayers
upon hearing the baby cry. Apostle praying while also opening the door for his
guest. Congregational prayer can be postponed if there are guests, or if you're
studying.
Worship
“ghairu mahdhah” is muamalah categorized, although "only" horizontal
matters relating to human relationship, should not be taken lightly. For business
muamalah longer this time, and the challenge is difficult due to change-change
according to place and time. If we trace the revelation period, after the
verses pertaining to aqidah then connected with moral issues (mahdhah ghairu
worship), and the last new about worship (worship mahdhah).
According
to the cleric, actually muamalah regulated in Islam, but with God so loose.
Worship muamalah can close mahdhah worship obligations, for example “fidyah”
who are unable to fast. In contrast, social worship can not be replaced with
mahdhah worship. Yes debts must be paid. If found guilty on the one must first
apologize, not for mercy to God.
This
chapter had departed from the concept of worship, which in my opinion seems
like collapsible meanings. I have always dreamed of in a Friday how Chotib burning
the spirit of the congregation to return from the mosque back to the workplace,
work bloody murder, honestly, and get high yield. I dream when Chotib advices
to us-we the people's love, or at least not feel harassed and ostracized
because of too much work for a living.*****
