reading shalawat for prophet

Reading Shalawat for blessings on the Prophet is one of the unpopular practice NU people, in addition to practice-practice like that. There shalawat "Nariyah", no "Thibbi Qulub". There shalawat "Tunjina", and many more. Not to mention reading "hizib" and "Rawatib" innumerable. All that pushing religious spirit and ideals of the Prophet at a time of worship.
One hadith that makes us diligently read shalawat is: Messenger of Allah said: Who reads blessings on me, God will repay 10 goodness, 10 his sins forgiven, and plus 10 degrees to him. Hence, for the NU people, any religious activity can be inserted with all the manifold blessings on reading.
One of the blessings on the very popular is "Shalawat Badr". Nearly every citizen NU, from children to grandparents, can be ascertained reciting blessings on Badr. Even so popular, people not too familiar NU because of morning, afternoon, evening, event anytime and anywhere "Shalawat Badr" was always sung together.
Blessings on this one, "shalawat Nariyah", no less popular among NU members. Especially when facing life's difficult problems resolved then there is no other way but to restore it to God conundrum. And shalawat Nariyah is one way to complain to Him.
One other shalawat efficacious is shalawat Tafrijiyah Qurtubiyah, called the Moroccan shalawat Nariyah because if they (Muslims) expects what aspired to, or want to reject what is not preferred, they gathered in one assembly to read as many blessings on this Nariyah 4444 times, achieved what was desired by the rapid bi idznillah. Shalawat also by experts who know the secrets of nature.
Dainuri priest commented: Anyone reading this shalawat after prayer (fardlu) 11 times used as wiridan then fortune will never break, besides getting the rank / position and the level of the rich. (Khaziyat al-Asrar, p. 179)
Consider the following words of the Prophet Muhammad:
وأخرج ابن منذة عن جابر رضي الله عنه أنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من صلى علي كل يوم مئة مرة - وفي رواية - من صلى علي في اليوم مئة مرة قضى الله له مئة حجة - سبعين منها في الأخرة وثلاثين في الدنيا - إلى أن قال - وروي أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: اكثروا من الصلاة علي فإنها تحل العقد وتفرج الكرب - كذا في النزهة
Hadith of Jabir Ibn Mundah, he said: Messenger of Allah SAW said: Who reads blessings on me 100 times, God shall mengijabahi 100 times his business; his business in the next 70, and 30 in the world. Until the words ... and hadith the Prophet who said: Expand blessings on me because it can solve problems and eliminate sadness. Similarly, as stated in the book of an-Nuzhah.
Heard the Messenger of Allah in nature Barzakh reading prayers and greetings, and he will answer them according to relevant answers from greetings and blessings on earlier. As mentioned in the hadith. Rasulullah SAW said: My life, my death as well, better than you. You're talking about and also discussed, deeds, you delivered to me, if I know it's good deeds, I praise God, but bad if I ask forgiveness of God. (Hadith narrated by al-Hafiz Ismail Al-Qadi, in chapter shalawat 'ala an-Nabi).
Haitami priest in the book Majma 'az-Zawaid believe that the above hadith is authentic. It is clear that the Messenger of his people ask for forgiveness (seek forgiveness) in nature Barzakh. Seek forgiveness is a prayer, and prayer of the apostle to his people would be useful.
There is another hadith again. Prophet said: No one greets me except Allah would deliver to my soul so I can answer greeting. (Narrated by Abu Dawood from Abu Hurayrah. There is in the book of Imam an-Nawawi, and sanadnya saheeh)

NU dalam menata dunia baru

People thought NU a local organization that had no concern for international affairs, because they do not have access ienternasional. Indeed NU utmost respect and care about the legacy of tradition and local values ​​so that NU would be accepted by society and never Nusantara any conflict with him. However, NU does not mean no care about the affairs internasioanal, has historically proven to NU was born in response to a single application of the principles of Wahabi in the Haram, the holy city of Muslims, NU with his Hejaz committee proposed a resolution at the King Abdel Aziz bermazhab liberty to apply. In consideration ususl is accepted, ultimately creating peace and harmony of religious life in the international city it until now.
It was the first ever international achievement ditoreh NU in the history of the World. Therefore chose NU universe as its symbol, it means NU kesejagatan concerned with the affairs of (international) without ignoring local dimensions. Not to mention relating to the independence struggle of Islamic Countries in 1940 - until the 1980s.
The second achievement ditoreh NU back when the organization of the Ulema, who has great power in the 1960's it was organized in cooperation with the government of Islamic Conference Asia Africa (KIAA), initiated by NT NU General Chairman KH Idham Cholid. Conference seeks to move back the spirit of independence among the Islamic countries, after several years held the historic Asia Africa conference was. With kofrensi the Islamic community is very active with rebuilding the underdeveloped third world by promoting education, economic development after freedom from colonial rule, then formed jarinagan economics and Islamic education.
In the year 1980-1990's, NU continues to deal with international issues, through involvement in various religious institutions in the world to peace and justice people worldwide. The world recognizes the role of NU as a populist organization clerical moderate and tolerant Islam was an ideal image to be displayed in the modern world that prlural, who value equality, freedom and justice. Because ahanya with the principle of a peaceful and prosperous world created bias, international dunai hope it's not wasted by NU.
In the midst of the international Islamic community faced various problems, such as retardation and cornered into a variety of stigma, as happened recently accused as agents of violence, as threats duniua, then NU again called to save the Islamic world, by bringing new perspectives and attitudes in mengamalkann Islam. Through an international conference of Islamic Intellectual tersubut, NU tried to solve problems democratically confront Muslims today with mengetangahkan basic principles that had been executed NU and some other parts of the Muslim country.
Therefore this conference tried to evoke the power of moderate Islam throughout the world to actively engage in addressing international problems facing mankind today, using peaceful means and civilized, so that bias and in accordance with accepted human values ​​that today's developing .
Thus what the NU at this time, that is organizing an international event is not new, is making it up, let alone imitate, but rather as a continuation of the effort that has pioneered the founders of NU, the successor and the current generation. Attempts to create life duian of peace, harmony and brotherhood.

Know the History and Understanding Ahlussunnah wal Jamaat

Before we talk about the topic and title of this discussion, we should recognize some sense of the term will be used in this discussion.
A. Some Understanding
1. As-Sunnah, the Sunnah is the road taken or how the implementation of a good deed in a case of good or evil case. So the Sunnah is the term Ahlus Sunnah is the road taken and implemented by the Prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam and his companions to him, and understanding of Ahlus Sunnah are those who seek to understand and practice the Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah and spreading and defending it.
2. Al-Jama'ah
According to the Arabic language is the meaning of the word Al-herb 'with the meaning of collecting scattered. As for the notion Asyari'ah, Al-Jama is the people who have agreed to hold a certain truth as stated in the Qur'an and Al-Hadith and they are the Companions, tabi'in (ie those people who learned of the Companions in the understanding and decision-Islam), although their numbers were few, as the statement of Ibn Mas'ud radhiallahu anhu: "Al-Jama it is what mencocoki truth, even if you are alone (in mencocoki truth). So are you an Al-Jama. "
3. Al-Bid'ah
Everything is new and unprecedented and unusual origin recognizable. This term is very well known dkialangan salallahu Companions of the Prophet Rasulullah 'alaihi wa sallam, since he always called it a threat to the purity of the religion of Allah, and the repeated mention in each to open the sermon. So in Arabic, the heresy that could be something good or it could be something bad.While in terms of Shari'ah, heresies and heretical all bad and no good. So the understanding innovation in the Islamic religion is the way the introduction of the newly created with the Sharia and are intended to resemble those of heresy in order to worship Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala better than what is stipulated by the Shari'ah Him. Such beliefs are not enforced on the proposition that authentic, but just based on feelings, assumptions or conjecture.Such heresy is happening in the case aqidah, understanding and practice.
4. As-Salaf
Salaf meaning in language is a precursor for a generation. While in terms Islamiyah Islamic Salaf as-it is the first people who understand, lead the, fight and teach Islam is taken directly from the Companions of the Prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, the tabi'in (the believers who take knowledge and understanding / students ofthe Companions) and the tabi'it tabi'in (the believers who take knowledge and understanding / disciple of tabi'in). a more comprehensive term for them this is as-righteous ones. Further understanding of as-righteous ones of the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith as-salafiyah called. While the Muslims who took part this understanding is called Salafi. Similarly to the understanding of propagation is called propagation salafiyya.
5. Al-Khalaf
A group of Muslims who took fislafat as standard practice their religion and has left the course as-salaf in understanding the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith. Beginning of the emergence of the term Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama is not known exactly when and where the appearance is certainly term Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama began depopulerkan by the Salaf as more outbreaks of various heresies among Muslims.
What is clear is the plague of heresy began to be contagious to his day and age tabi'in tabi'in the atmosphere is thus begins at the time of Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib radhiallahu anhu. Narrated by Imam Muslim in the Book Shahihnya juz a hal.84, Sharh Nawawi Imam Bayan chapter Charitable isnad sanadnya Minad with a saheeh Din Muhammad ibn Sirrin that stated, "Once the Companions never asked about isnad (sequence source history) when making the salallahu Prophet 'alayhi wa sallam. So when the slander that is heresy they ask,' mentioned the hadith narrators who delivered unto them. " That way they can check each of the narrators are, whether they are from the Ahlus Sunnah or the Ahl-ul-heresy. When the Ahlus Sunnah Ahl-ul-heresy is taken and if rejected. "
The same history is also presented by Khalid Al-Baghdadi with sanadnya in his book. This history tells us that at the time of Muhammad bin Sirrin existing ahlus Sunnah and Ahl-ul-term innovation. Muhammad bin Sirrin was born in the year 33 H and meniggal in the year 110 H. then this term also appears in the era of Imam Ahmad bin Hambal (born 164 and died 241 H), especially when there is slander misguided understanding that states that the Qur'an is a creature, contrary to the Ahlus Sunnah that states that the Qur'an was Kalamullah .
Defamation occurs when the administration of the Caliph al-Ma'mun al-Abbasi. Imam Ahmad in the libel is including the most severe character gets the target of hostility and cruelty of the leaders of heresy ahlul through the Caliph. From now on that's the term Ahlus Sunnah wal congregation became very popular until now. Thus, the term sunnah ahlu arose and became popular when it started he called the struggle between the as-salaf al-Khalaf, due to the infiltration of various foreign philosophy into Islamic society.Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama later became a symbol of the attitude istiqamahnya (tegarnya) Ahl-ul-Hadeeth scholars in the hold with the as-salafiyah when the characters left and the Ahl-ul-heresy when different understanding and practice of heresy dominated Islamic society.
B. Evidence in Evidence Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama
Why so adamant ahlu Sunnah refers to the understanding of the Companions of the Prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam in understanding the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith? This is a question that certainly requires the arguments of Al-Quran and Al-Hadith to answer it. Ahlus Sunnah refers to the Companions in understanding the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith due to Allah and His Messenger told a lot of their glory, and even praised him. This factor makes the Companions be trusted reference in understanding the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith as the primary basis for Shariah Islamiah.
Arguments from the Quran and Al-Hadith saheeh Sunnah which handles ahlus in referring to the understanding of the Companions so much so that they could not all contained in this short article.Some of them should I write here as a brief overview for the reader about how unsound basis of understanding of the shariah sunnah ahlus this.
1. The Companions of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam is the love of God and they were very in love to God:
"Verily Allah has pleased the Believers when they swore allegiance to you (O Muhammad) under the tree (ie Baitur Ridwan) then God knows what is in their hearts and He sent down the information on them and rewarded them with victory over close (time). (Al-Fath: 18)
This verse explains that God has been pleased to share the Companions of the Prophet allegiance salallahu alaihi wa sallam in Hudhaibiyyah as a sign that they were ready to obey him in the fight against kufar (the infidel) Quraish and not run away from the battlefield.
It is reported that those who participated ba'iah one thousand four hundred people. In another verse, Allah Sunahanahu wa Ta'ala says: "O ye who believe, who among you who apostate from his religion (ie out of Islam) Allah will bring a people whom He loves them and they love God , be gentle to the believers and stern towards the disbelievers, they strive in the way of God and not afraid to slur the pencerca. Such is the virtue of God which is given to whoever He wills and Allah is the All-Hearing and All- Knowing. "(Al-Maidah: 54)
Tabari bring you some history about the interpretation of this verse, among others, that he nukilkan of some history with the course of these salty, that Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Adh-Dhahadh, Qatadah, Ibn Juraij, stating that what is meant by this verse is Abu Bakr Ash-Siddeeq and all the Companions of the Prophet after the death of the Prophet alaihi wa sallam salallahu in the fight against apostates.
2. The Companions of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam is fair that people are guided by the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
"And thus have We made fair you guys are the people that you be witnesses over mankind! And the Messenger a witness over you." (Al-Baqarah: 143)
Are spoken to by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala in this verse is the Companions of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam. They are the first generation of believers who come to see the best fall of this paragraph and the first generation mentioned in the verse of the Qur'an. Ibn Jarir Tabari explained: "And I argued that Allah Almighty called them" the middle "because they behave in the midst of religious matters, so they were not as people who ghulu (extreme, beyond the limit) in religion as ghulunya Nassara people in matters of worship and their statements about 'Isa ibn Maryam alayhi salam. And nor reduces the glory of this people Nabiyullah Isa alaihi salam, as the actions of those Jews who changed the verses of Allah in His Book and killed the prophets them and lie in the name of God and mengkufurinya. But this ummah are the ones to be fair and equitable so that God mensikapi them with justice, in which case the most loved by Allah is the fairest.
3. The Companions are the ultimate example of faith after the Prophet
Confirmed in the word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala:
"If they were a believer like his faith in you guys (ie the believers) against him, then they really get perunjuk and if they turn away they were in schism. And enough is Allah for you (O Muhammad) to them and He is Hearing and Knowing." ( Al-Baqarah: 137)
This verse confirms that the faith of believers it is a benchmark for a people for God's guidance. The believers is the most mencocoki truth as it is brought by the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam is none other than the Companions of the Prophet of the most primary and subsequent generations that follow them.
Also confirmed this also by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala in Surat Al-Fath 29:
"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those were with hard against the unbelievers, their fellow filial. You see them bowing and prostrating expect the primacy of God and His good pleasure. Look at their faces former prostration. Thus permisalan them in the Torah, and so are their permisalan in the Gospel. As plants that bloom later rallied and then become so strong that he tegaklah above principle, the fascinating people who grow, that God will make infidels angry at them. God promised to the people Believers from among them that forgiveness and great reward. "
And there are many more verses of the Qur'an that a proposition for the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama in referring to the Companions of the Prophet alaihi wa sallam salallahu in understanding the Al-Quran and Al-Hadith. Surely the arguments from the Quran are also side by side with dozens or even hundreds of authentic hadists explaining the virtue of Companions as a whole or individually.
From the hadiths of the following can be concluded that:
1. The goodness of the Companions may not equaled:
"Do you revile Sahabahs if one of you berinfaq a mountain of Uhud, he does not achieve the reward of mud (grain size of two hands with one another diraparkan) dishodaqahkan food by one of them and not even reach half mudnya . '(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
2. The Companions are the best of both generation and delivery the best to future generations as well:
"From 'Imraan ibn Husayn that the Messenger of Allah anhu radhiallahu salallahu alaihi wa sallam said:' The best of my ummah are with me later that during the subsequent generation (ie tabi'in), then generation after another (ie tabi'it tabi'in). Imran said: 'I do not know whether the Prophet mentioned after the time he was two or three generations. " Then the Messenger of salallahu alaihi wa sallam said: 'Then you will come true after a people who gave testimony while he was not asked persaksiannya, and he likes to sell out and can not be trusted, and they like and do not meet nadzarnya bernadzar, and their body fat that is a picture people who are greedy to him '. "(Bukhari)
3. The Companions of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam is the chosen people of God created to accompany His Prophet:
"The Messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam said: 'Verily Allah has chosen me and also have chosen me Sahabahs, then He makes them for me from my job aides, and the pembelaku, and the law and the law. If anyone revile them, then atasnyalah curse of Allah and His angels an entire human being. God will not accept on the day of Resurrection those defenders who could turn them from Allaah. "(Reported by al-Hakim Laalikai and, Saheeh)
And much more authentic hadiths that show how high the position of the Companions of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, in the view of the Prophet.
So when Allah and His Messenger in the Qur'an and Al-Hadith has been glorifying the Companions and tell us to honor, it should if the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama makes comprehension, speech, and practice of the Companions of Al-Qur ' Al-Hadith's and as the main criterion in assessing the truth of his understanding. Ahlus Sunnah also very pleased and confident in referring to the Companions of the Prophet in understanding the Quran and Al-Hadith.
