Worship Throughout Haji Zaman (1)
By IRFAN ANSHORY
WE should start a discourse about personal pilgrimage of the first great teaching, namely Abraham a.s. ( `alayhi s-salam, peace for the him), ancestor of the Arabs and the Hebrews, and the father of three religions monotheists: Jews, Christians, and Muslims. With the assumption that one third of the population earth today are Christians, a fifth are Muslims, and sepertigaratusnya is Jewish, figure who teaches the hajj pilgrimage was honored by more than half the inhabitants of this planet, with the title varied: Abrahem, Abraham, Abraham, and has a very loving nickname: Friends of God (Khalilu l-Lah; Khafer Elohim; Amigo Dei; Friend of God).
Deep Book of the Qur'an, the name of Prophet Ibrahim a.s. mentioned 69 times the spread in 25 Letter and is ranked second largest after the Prophet Moses is mentioned as Based on the information the Qur'an, coupled with information from Bereshith (Genesis), the Torah first, we can trace the history of life of the Prophet Ibrahim a.s. He was born and raised in the land of Ur, the land Chaldean, regional mouth of the River Euphrates (Iraq now) about four thousand years ago. Although live in Mesopotamia who worshiped the heavenly bodies, Ibrahim since young teenagers have upright character, which is likely to the truth of the One God. As explained in the Qur'an Surat Al-An `am 74-83, Ibrahim refused to worship the stars, moon and sun, and crave guidance from God Almighty.
God in the language of Mesopotamia called El or Il (name of country or Babil Babel means door God). Future offspring of Abraham, the Hebrew nation and Arab nations, modify it by adding a letter Ha (He), respectively Eloh and Ilah. Last name is then given the word clothing (definite article) Al-, became Al-Ilah or Allah. However, El and Il as the name of God is found in Hebrew and Arabic on the names Gabriel (Gabriel), Michael (Mika'il), Yishma `el (Isma` il), Yisra'el (Isra'il), and so on.
Need Mesopotamia is known that people use basic number six. They are the ones left to us the division of the circle into 360 degrees, division one day to 24 hours, an hour into 60 minutes, and one minute to 60 seconds. This system makes the number seven as something that special. The number 60 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, but not out divided by seven. That is why one week to seven days, and something that maximum must be stated in number seven. Because God communicates through His revelation in the relevant language of the Prophet, then Manasik (procedure) `disyari pilgrimage to atkan Abraham a.s. many involve numbers seven, as seven rounds thawaf, seven back and forth sa `i, and seven hurl against jumrah.
The Ibrahim young newly married to her idol, Sarah, followed family moved from Ur, browse the Euphrates River to the headwaters in the north, then settled in Haran, which is now located in Turkey. Population Haran is a pagan and was ruled by a tyrant king. Book The Qur'an does not explain the name of this king, but the source of Hebrew history or story Isra'iliyat called King Nimrod, who then copied into Nimrod or Namruz in Arabic. In the Qur'an Surat Al-Anbiya '51-73 explained that Ibrahim ransacked idols so that the king's wrath and burn Ibrahim alive. But God saved Abraham to make the fire was cold. Then came the command of God to Abraham to leave country.
'Lekh careless! " (Go you!), So God commands listed in the Book Bereshith (Genesis) 12: 1, 'from your country, your family and your father's house, to land that I will show you '. Book Qur'an Surat Ash-99 record Shaffat Ibrahim's statement: Inni dzahibun ila rabbi, sa yahdin (Actually I went to my Lord, He leadeth me later). Land which God has promised that named Kana'an, Aramaic which means purple, famous for its population produces a purple pigment (purple dyes). The Greek word for purple is Phonix, so they called it Phoenician areas. Hebrews Pelishtim named later, and the historian Herodotus of the fifth century BC mempopulerkannya as Palaistine (Palestine).
Commands God told Abraham was accompanied by seven promises, as stated in the Book Bereshith 12: 2-3, namely: (1) I will make thee a great nation; (2) I will bless thee; (3) I will make thy name great; (4) You will be a blessing; (5) I will bless them that bless thee; (6) I will curse those who curse you; and (7) The whole of the earth through you will be blessed.
Reality shows that the three religious communities (Jewish, Christianity, Islam) which claimed as 'the children of Abraham', only Muslims who every day call Abraham's name with great reverence. At the end of their prayers, with Muslims fervently whispered barakta kama `ala ibrahim (as You has granted blessing to Ibrahim).
Ibrahim in a more advanced age also have children yet. He no constantly pray to God: Rabbi habli mina sh-Righteous (Oh my God, karuniai me a righteous child), as stated in the Ash-Shaffat 100. Book Bereshith 16: 3 says: "And Sarah Abraham's wife took Hagar an Egyptian maid, after ten years of Abraham settled in the land of Kana'an, and he gave it to her husband as the wife of Abraham ". In this should be emphasized that the Black is assistant Sarah (Hebrew manuscript shifhah = maid, maid), and is by no means 'slave' or 'slave' (maid in Hebrew). It should also be emphasized that the Black is not a 'mistress' Abraham, but a legitimate wife. Said at the end of paragraph Bereshith 16: 3 is used to Hagar in the Hebrew text reads ishah (wife, wife) who also used at the beginning of the verse to Sarah.
Fa ghulamin bi basysyarnahu halim (So We delight him with a child intelligent), so the word of God in the Ash-Shaffat 101. Black bear a son, named by his father Yishma `el (in Hebrew) or Isma `il (in Arabic), which means 'God hears', ie hear the prayer of Ibrahim to obtain offspring. Bereshith 16: 16 added information 'And Abraham was 86 years old when Hagar gave birth to Isma `il to him."
After Isma `il was born, come down the commandments of duty circumcision (circumcision). In Bereshith 17: 10 says' This is my covenant which you must hold, between you and I with your seed after thee, that every man in among you shall be circumcised. "Those who disbelieve in this obligation, Bereshith 17: 14 confirmed "And the man who is not circumcised khatannya skin, then that person should be expelled from the group. She has denied my covenant. " Once again the fact that Muslims the most consistent in obligations or circumcision is circumcision. So, those who are not circumcised is certainly highly inappropriate to be called or claimed as' the children Ibrahim '.
About Isma `il, I hear, the word of God to Abraham in Bereshith 17: 20. In the Hebrew text the sentence was just two words: `el uleyishma Shema `when, and very interesting that these two words have three letters of the basic The same is shin, her, `ayin. 'I will bless him and make him pure-very much. Twelve leaders (literacy) will diperanakkannya, and I will make a great nation. "
Apparently God has great plans for Ibrahim and Isma `il. God commands Abraham to take Hagar and their children young leaves Kana'an to the south, toward a valley called Baka or Bakkah. Because dreams and perhaps the same letter bilabial (lips), the name gradually Bakkah changed to Makkah. In Arabic and Hebrew, the immortal words have two meaning: 'laughing tears' and 'balsam tree'. The first meaning associated with gersangnya area so as if did not give hope, and The second meaning related to the number of balsam trees (genus Commiphora) that grow there.
Whether Bakkah valley's privilege? God described in the Letter of Alu Imran 96: Inna awwala baitin wudhi `a li n-rice, l-ladzi He bakkata mubarakan wa bi li hudan l-`alamin (Actually the First Temple which was founded to humans actually located in the blessed Bakkah and guidance for the whole of nature). It turned out that Bakkah valley was the location of the Temple (Baitu l-Lah in Arabic, Beth Elohim in Hebrew) which was established by the generation The first human beings from the time of Prophet Adam a.s. At the time of Prophet Ibrahim a.s. valley had been abandoned, no people who inhabit, and the House of God the first was only a foundation course. There was a story that says that House of God was destroyed by a flood in the days of Noah as How did it happen the truth, only God knows.
Acts Hagar and Isma `il were collected and written by historian Muhammad ibn Jarir Tabari (died 310 Hijri or 922 AD) in his famous, "Tarikh al-Rusul wa l-Muluk" (History of the Apostles and the Lord), Vol 1, pp. 275-283: 'When he received orders from God to go His house, Ibrahim went with Hagar and Isma `il accompanied by the angel Gabriel. They arrived in Makkah who just acacia trees, mimosas, balsam and brambles. The house of God then lived essentially in the form of red clay. Gabriel said, God ordered you to leave them. Ibrahim brought Hagar and Isma `il to Hijir (in addition to Ka` bah today) and make tent there. Then Abraham prayed: 'O our Lord! I put progeny in the valley of the dead plants bear fruit, in addition to your house the Holy One, to keep them establish prayer. So human hearts turned to them, and give them sustenance from the fruit, so they were grateful ' (Surat Ibrahim 37). When Ibrahim will go, Hagar said, 'Is the command God who made you leave us? " He answered, 'Yes. " So Hagar said, "If this is of course God does not leave us to perish." Then Ibrahim returned to Kana'an, leaving them both in the House of God. "
Still quote from Tabari: 'Isma `il cry because very thirsty. Hajar install ears to hear the voice that might help get the water. He heard on the hill Safa, and then go there but did not find anything. Then she heard a voice on the hill of Marwah. He went there, did not find any. Hagar returned to Safa, and then back again to Marwah, with no so tired child can drink. "
Bereshith 21: 17-19 supplement this story: 'And God heard the boy's voice, and angel of God calls from heaven and said to him, 'What are you susahkan, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the boy's voice from where he lay. Arise, take up the child and Lead him, for I will make a great nation. " And God opened her eyes Black and he saw a spring. He went kirbat skin filled with water, then gave the boy a drink.
You are welcome the description Tabari: 'When Black reached Marwah seven times back and forth, she suddenly heard a roar from the valley where he left Isma `il. He ran to his son, and found springs radiating near where she lay. Hajar kirbat fill water into the skin shouting, 'Zummi, zummi'. Some say that it was the language of Egypt's means' Gather, assemble. " It is also possible that only imitate speech Hajar the sound of water gushing. Only God is omniscient, but the words Hajar lake's original name Zamzam. "
Existence lake sources of Zamzam water to make it worth occupied. Then came Jurhum ethnic groups whose leaders called Mudad, begged permission to Hagar and Isma `il to settle there.
In certain times, routinely Kana'an Ibrahim from his wife came to visit and his children in the valley of Mecca which gradually grew into a settlement.
When Isma `il 13-year-old great test came matchless. God ordered Ibrahim to slaughter his son who berqurban only that! It was a very tough test for a father, but because it God commands Abraham menyanggupinya so without hesitation. When the command of God Ibrahim was conveyed to the child, and when questioned by Isma `il opinion by the father, the Isma `il who was still a teenager replied: Yes abati, if `al ma tu'mar. Tajiduni insya'a Sa l-lahu mina sh-shabirin ( 'O 's father, carried out what God commanded. God willing, will father find me as a child patient '), as stated in Surat Ash-Shaffat 102.
Ibrahim Isma `il bring to a hill east of Mecca, where the current named Mina. Three times the devil tempted Ibrahim to cancel the plan, Ibrahim also three times to resist the temptation of Satan to hurl pebbles. Action Ibrahim was later immortalized in one of Manasik (ordinances) pilgrimage, which throwing three jumrah in Mina. Isma `il after resting on a stone foundation slaughter, and the sword of Ibrahim was ready to touch the neck of his son, then God said to Abraham replace sembelihannya with a sheep. The Word of God in the Ash-Shaffat 106-107: Inna lahuwa Hadza bala'u l-l-Mubin. Wa dzibhin bi fadaynahu `azhim ( 'Verily this is really the only test real, and We ransomed him with a big sheep ').
Ibrahim not lost son, his son and even increased by one again, because after qurban test event, God gave them the good news that his first wife, Sarah, will give her son named Ishaq (in Arabic) or Yitshaq (in Hebrew), as explained in the Ash-Shaffat 112: Wa bi basysyarnahu Ishaq, nabiyyan mina sh-Righteous ( 'And we are encouraging him by Ishaq, a prophet of righteousness'). Ishaq later lowered the Hebrews, Isma `il while later lowered the Arabs, especially the Quraish tribe in Mecca.
Now Let us review the information about the event qurban Bereshith it. In Bereshith 22: 2nd commandment of God to Abraham, saying: 'Take your son the only one, whom you love, Isaac (?), and go to the land Moriah and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that will I firmankan to you. "
When Torah standardized script, Jewish scholars Yishma rename `el (Isma` il) the Bereshith 22 with Yitshaq (Ishaq). But this Jewish machinations seem all spots. Bereshith 22: 2 clearly states 'that your son is the only'. Hebrew manuscript reads yahid, meaning 'the one'. This means that God told Abraham examination occurred before Ishaq's birth, when the new Abraham has a son, the Isma `il. The Torah itself clearly states that Isma `il was born when Abraham was 86 years (Bereshith 16: 16), while Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 years old (Bereshith 21: 5).
Deep Al-Baqarah 75 stated that the Jews' hear the word of God and change it after they learn to understand it yet '(una yasma Kalama `l to fight yuharrifunahu thumma min ba `in aqaluhu wa ma` hum yes seagrass). Scandal alteration Isma `il's name to Isaac in the event that caused qurban Jews offspring would not Isma `il a role in the implementation of the promise of God to Bereshith 22: 18 'And all the nations of the earth will be blessed through your seed, because you have obeyed me '.
