Worship Throughout Haji Zaman (2)

By IRFAN ANSHORY

THEN go down the commandments of God to Abraham and Isma `il to build or renovate the Temple (House) by raising the foundation that was already there. Al-Baqarah 127 provides information: yarfa `u l-ibrahimu` ida qawa mina l-Baiti wa isma `il (Ibrahim enhance the foundation of Al-Bait with Isma` il). Because building of the Temple which was founded Ibrahim and Isma `il was a cube (ka'ba in Arabic), over time the size of the House of God 10.5 x 12 x 15 meters was known as the Ka'ba.

Need known that the Prophet Abraham a.s. have a habit of making such a "place up "for prayer (salat) face of God, who called magom (language Hebrew) or the Station (Arabic). In Kana'an he could make a magom, as stated in Bereshith 19: 27, but it seems magom not preserved. In front of the Ka'ba he also made a station.

By Therefore, God perpetuate the Station (a place to stand) in front of the Prophet Ibrahim Ka'ba as an inseparable part of the House. Wa ttakhidzu Ibrahima maqami min Mushalla (And take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place prayer), as listed in Al-Baqarah 125. As a small note, for some reason the term stations (tomb) is used in the Indonesian language to called "graveyard" so there pilgrim who thought Maqam Ibrahim as a "grave of the Prophet Abraham", but he's grave located in Hebron, or Al-Khalil, the West Bank, Palestine.

After Completed Ka'ba was built, then dropped the command of God to Abraham to call people to perform the pilgrimage. Visit the House of Worship called the hajj in Arabic and in Hebrew hagg (Arabic letters ha and jim identical with the Hebrew letter Heth and gimel) which means "Celebration of the Lord, Festival of God '. Surat Al-Hajj 27 to record the word of God to Abraham: Adzdzin wa n-rice fi bi l-hajj. Ya'tuka rijalan wa `ala kulli dhamir, ya'tina min kulli fajjin `amiq (And call mankind to pilgrimage. They will come thee on foot and with all types of vehicles, coming from Throughout much).

Wa arina manasikana (And show us the procedure of pilgrimage for us), such requests to God of Abraham mentioned in Al-Baqarah 128. Therefore, God teaches procedures (Manasik) pilgrimage to the Prophet Ibrahim a.s. Hajj Manasik first is to ihram, means 'forbidden' or 'purify', ie Ihram clothes and did not do Ihram restrictions. Once the pilgrims set foot in the Land of Haram (Land Holy), they have been stripped of their clothes and daily replace it with a cloth Ihram. This is a symbol or a symbol that the House God's people must be willing to free themselves from all the attributes of wealth, position, and social status of people disandangkan him. In the presence of God, all men without exception the same status, namely the Servant of God.

Then the pilgrim should do wuquf (silent, jamboree) in Padang Arafah, approximately 25 km east of Mecca. This gathering ceremony rehearsal humanity in Padang on the day of the Underworld Mahsyar later, while the congregation Hajj doing "reunion" at the meeting place of Adam and Eve after the second human ancestors was driven from the Garden of Eden (Eternity Jannatu). That why the place was named wuquf Padang Arafah, meaning 'Padang Introduction' so that people recognize as a fellow fraternity returned son of Adam and Eve. When doing wuquf, pilgrims realize that humanity is a variety of skin colors, languages, and customs was a brother blood and collateral. This is in accordance with the Word of God in Al-Hujurat 13: "O mankind, verily We have created you all from a man (Adam) and woman (Eve), then We made the you into nations and tribes that ye may know each other. Lo The most noble in the sight of Allah is the most god-fearing among you. Verily Allah is Knower Watching ".

Furthermore, the pilgrim should do thawaf, which surrounds the shrine of seven rounds. This is the dance of the cosmos, because God ordained that the universe only exists because thawaf movement. Imitate pilgrim movement of electrons berthawaf surrounding the atomic nucleus and the movement of planets berthawaf around the sun. Doomsday will happen when the universe thawaf stop. The whole matter in the universe, of the particles making up atoms up to the heavenly bodies, subject always to obey the divine laws of regulate them. By doing thawaf expected as part of human nature universe realize that they too should be subject-obedient to the rules God as subject-obediently entire contents of the heavens and the earth. This is in accordance with the word of God in Alu Imran 83: "Moreover, they are looking for other than religion of Allah, when unto Him have Islam (submission-obedience) is in the sky and the earth willingly or unwillingly, and unto Him they will returned ".

After do thawaf, pilgrims must do sa'i, imitating the Black movement back and forth seven times between the hills Safa and Marwa hills. The word means sa'i business. Apparently new Hajar Zamzam water have a gift from God after he do sa'i (business) maximum. By doing sa'i expected human realized that the success and prosperity can only be achieved through the efforts or maximum struggle, not by simply praying while doing nothing. This This according to the word of God in An-Najm 39-40: "That man does not get nothing but what it has earned (ma sa `a), and that his business (sa `Jews) will soon be apparent.

Now we continue our historic journey. Isma `il was married to Ra` la bint Mudad, daughter Jurhum leader told in advance. This marriage produced two the lower the twelve sons of the Arabs (Bani Isma `il). Their names are not mentioned in the Koran, but the complete set in Bereshith 25: 13-15. A lot of mention are the two oldest sons, Nabit (Nebayot) and Qaydhar (Kedar), because they both eventually reduce the population Quraish Mecca. Meanwhile in Palestine, Isaac married to Ribqah (Rebecca) and berputra Ya `qub. Ya `qub a title or Isra'il Yisra'el had twelve son who lowered the Hebrews (Bani Isra'il).

In Children were initially Isra'il participate with their brothers Bani Isma `il perform the pilgrimage to Mecca as a fellow descendant of Prophet Abraham. Will but when the Arabs or the Bani Isma `il lost to the worship of idols, Bani Isra'il no longer visit the Ka'ba (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat an-Nabawiyya, h.15). However, in the Book of Psalms of Prophet David a.s. explicit desire to House: "What a blessed their strength is in thee, which persistent liver pilgrimage. And when he arrived in the Valley of Baka, they make into a water-eyed "(Psalms 84: 5-6).

Only God knows how long the Bani Isma `il continue to uphold the doctrine of Tauhid Abraham a.s. After several centuries, they slipped to ally God with idols. Hundreds of idols placed round the Ka'ba with a variety of strange names: Lata, Uzza, Manat, Hubal, Asaf, Na'ilah, and God knows what else. Manasik or ceremonial pilgrimage to the ceremony also dicampurbaurkan idolatry. This situation lasted for centuries. However, eventually it's time to prayer Abraham a.s. granted, the prayer that he goes to God when he founded the Ka'ba: "Our Lord! Restore to them a Messenger from among them, who will read to them the verses of Thy and teach them the Book and Wisdom and purify them. Thou art the Mighty, the Wise " (Al-Baqarah 129).

As answer to prayer Abraham a.s. is, God raised a man from among the Quraysh tribe named Muhammad PBUH. (shalla l-lahu `alayhi wa sallam, honor God for him and peace) as a Prophet and Messenger Finally a continued and perfected the teachings of the Prophet and Messenger earlier. He was born in 571, received the first revelation in 610, moved to Medina in 622, and died in 632. Age of 61.5 years according to his chronicle syamsiyah (solar calendar) or 63 years according to the lunar chronicle (calendar months). We will only discuss the journey of life of the Prophet Muhammad. a regarding the Hajj ceremony.

In 625 years (4th Hijri), God determined that the Shari'a pilgrims from Abraham must be carried out by Muslims, with the decline in verse: "And the obligation to God for mankind to pilgrimage to the House, for those who are able to travel there. Whoever is ungrateful to liabilities haji, then Allah is Rich of all nature "(Ali Imran 97). This paragraph confirmed that the Hajj is required "for those who are able to do the way there "(man istatha` a ilayhi Sabila), which is capable of in terms of physical (health), financial (a cost), and security (secure no interference). That is why the Prophet Muhammad. pilgrimage new year 10 Hijri (632 AD), three months before he died and six years after the paragraph in above revealed. When the order was revealed by Allah Hajj, Makkah was controlled by the polytheists who were hostile to Muslims in Medina. Several months before the order came down pilgrimage took place the battle of Uhud (3 Hijri), and year previously (2 Hijri) occurred the Battle of Badr, and then at 5 years occurred Hijri Trench War. Such conditions certainly did not allow for the Prophet Muhammad. and his companions to perform the pilgrimage.

Will but the Messenger of Allah. ordered the friends who could, especially the Ansar (natives of Medina) are not recognized by the people of Mecca, to perform the pilgrimage according to Manasik Prophet Abraham and not doing things related to idolatry. When returned of pilgrimage, Ansar people are reported to the Prophet that they sa'i working with doubt because in the middle mas `a (lane sa` i) between Safa and Marwah are two big idols and Na'ilah Asaf. Therefore, go down the revelation of God, namely Al-Baqarah 158: Inna shafa wa sh-l-Marwata min sya `a'iri l-Lah. Fa man hajja l-aw baita tamara i `fa` alayhi He's junaha bi yaththawwafa hima. Wa man tathawwa `a khairan fa-inna l Laha syakirun` alim ( 'Lo Safa and Marwa part of syi `ar` ar-syi God. So whoever pilgrimage to House or visit (Umrah), is not wrong for him to go back and forth on both. And whoever added goodness, Allah is Oft - Gratitude avenger Knower '). This verse is often read later by the when pilgrims sa `i.

In in April 628 (Dzulqa `dah 6 Hijri) the Messenger of Allah. a dream fulfilled Umrah (the visit) to Mecca and invite friends to realize the dream. Messenger 1500 was accompanied by friends went to Mecca, wearing apparel Ihram and bring qurban animals. The Quraysh polytheists deployed to prevent that group from Medina stuck in Hudaibiyah, 20 km to the northwest of Makkah.

The Quraish sent Suhail ibn Amr to negotiate with the Prophet. Suhail proposed, among others, truce agreement and the Muslims must Umrah delay in returning to Medina, but the next year given the freedom perform Umrah and stay for three days in Mecca. Messenger approve this agreement even though the friends are disappointed many, but no one dared to oppose their Master's decision.

Cursory and the agreement seems to harm the Muslims, but politically very profitable. "Hudaibiyah Agreement" is one of important milestone in the history of Islam, because for the first time the tribe of Quraysh in Mecca recognize the sovereignty of the Muslims in Medina. On the way back to Medina, go down the revelation of God in Al-Fath 27: "Truly Allah will fulfill his dream messengers with truth, that you will be entered Masjid al-Haram in safety, God willing. You will shave your head or hair cut (complete umrah) to not feel afraid. He knowing what you do not know, and besides that He made victory close ".

Suitable with Hudaibiyah Agreement, the following year (629 or March Dzulqa `dah 7 Hijri) the Messenger of Allah. and his friends for the first time do Umrah to the House. When the Prophet entourage totaling approximately 2,000 people entered the court to do tawaf Ka'ba, Mecca people gathered watch in Qubais hill shouting that Muslims look tired and certainly not strong around seven rounds. Hearing this mockery, The Prophet said to the congregation, "Let us show them that we are strong. We are open right shoulder of ihram cloth, and we do thawaf to run! "

After kissing the Black Stone, the Messenger of Allah. and the friends begin tawaf with running around the Ka'ba so that the scoffers eventually disband. In the fourth round after being nosy people on the hill Qubais go, Messenger invite friends stopped running and running as usual. This is the background behind some of the sunna tawaf later: the open right shoulder (idhthiba ') and jogged on the first three rounds of a special on the taw first.

Done seven rounds, the Messenger of Allah. Prayer two cycles at Maqam Ibrahim, and drinking Zamzam water. After that the Prophet had done sa `i between Safa and Marwa, and finally did tahallul ( 'justifies the back') or free themselves from ihram restrictions, by having his head shaved Khirasy. When in duhur time, the Messenger of Allah. Bilal ibn Rabah had climbed to the roof of the Ka'ba to carry a call to prayer.
