Meaning Isra ‘and Mi’raj

Travel Prophet Muhammad. from Makkah to Bayt Al-Maqdis, and then rise to Sidrat Al-Muntaha, even melampauinya, and return to Makkah in a very short time, is the biggest challenge after the Al-Quran presented by God to mankind. This incident proves that the ‘guess and qudrat cover and reach God, even to overcome, all the finite (limited) and infinite (unlimited) with limited time or space.

Empirisis nation and rasionalis, who escaped from the guidance of revelation, can only sue: How might the speed, which even exceeds the speed of light, the speed of the speed limit is the highest in the four dimensions of this continuum, can happen? How the environment may be of material that passed by Muhammad. does not lead to friction, the friction heat damage to the body of his own? How might he can extricate himself from the appeal of the earth? This may not happen, because he is not in accordance with the laws of nature, can not be reached by the faculty, and even can not be proven by the benchmarks logic. It is about deception, which they reject this event.

Indeed, the most appropriate approach to understand is the approach imaniy. This is adopted by the Abu Bakr AlShiddiq, as envisaged in his speech: “When the Prophet Muhammad that memberitakannya, benarlah certainly there.” Therefore, the description is trying to understand these events through what we believe is correct based on scientific evidence that is presented by the Al-Quran.

One of the things that become the central discussion of the Al-Quran is the future for the human ruhani realize keutuhannya. Description Al-Quran on the Isra ‘Mi’raj and is a way of making the scheme ruhani. This is clearly evidenced through the observation of sistematika and content of the Al-Quran, in the part-share of the largest and the verses are detailed.

Seven of the first Al-Quran discusses the growth of the human soul as individuals who collectively form a nation.

In the eighth to fourth, the Al-Quran emphasizes the development of fully human and community development and konsolidasinya. The theme of the fifteenth reached klimaksnya and on a personal level that has reached the highest of fully human, namely, al-man al-perfect. And therefore, the Isra ‘Mi’raj and the early part of this, and sustainable development to the thirty second one, in which the story of the apostles described the view from the side. Then, a problem ruhani development of the human person per person described further until the thirty third, with explanations about the development of relations with the community life of reciprocity.

Then, if we see more coverage of small, the scientist-scientist Al-Quran, as scientists, scientists from various disciplines-science, stated that all the preliminary things that have lead or contribute to it. Imam Al-Suyuthi opinion that the introduction of the description in the Al-Quran is the description contained in the letter sebelumnya.204 Meanwhile, the core description of one understood the name of the letter, as said by Al-Biqai’i .205 Thus, the introduction of the description Isra ‘is a letter that called the Lord with Al-Nahl, which means that the bees.

Why bees? Because this creature has many wonders. Keajaibannya is not only visible on the variety, the male and female, but also not the type that is not male and female. Keajaibannya also not only visible in the nest-nest, which results in the holes the same six-sided and enhanced by a very fine coating prevents air or bacteria to penetrate inside, was not only located on the property yielded honey, the food and medicine for the many diseases. Wonders of the bees include all, and also include a system of life, full of discipline and dedication under the leadership prefer “queen”. The queen bee is this miracle and have the privilege. For example, that the queen, as the sense of “shame” that is owned and dipeliharanya, have been reluctant to make it to sexual relations with one of the members of communities that can reach about thirty thousand head. In addition, the wonders of bees also appear in the form of the language and how they communicate, which in this case has been learned in depth by an Austrian scientist, Karl Van Fritch.

The bee selected to represent the miracle of God’s creation into his introduction to the magic act in the event of his Isra ‘and Mi’raj. Bee also selected as the introductory part of the human fully explain. Because fully human, human believers, according to Messenger, is “like bees, do not eat except a good and beautiful, like a fragrant flower; not produce anything except a good and useful, such as honey bees that produced it.”

In the coverage of the smaller again, we launch a view to the first paragraph of the introduction. Here, Allah said: Has come of Allah (the Hour). Therefore, do not ask to come to be prioritized.

World Day of Resurrection is not, why God says the Hour has come? Al-Quran states “have come of Allah,” why He also stated “do not ask to come to be prioritized?” This is for introduction beckon at the same time that God does not know the time to realize something. Today, tomorrow, also yesterday, is the calculation of human beings calculation. God is not bound to him, because he is of the period. He therefore does not require limits to realize something. And this is reiterated in his letter with this sentence: We Will the words to something, when we will, we only expressed to him “kun” (morning), it (QS 16:40).

Here are two things that need to be recognized. First, the scientific facts show that every movement of the system have a different calculation time with the movement system to another. Solid takes longer than the voice. Voters also need more time than with light. This accompany scientists, philosophers, and the believer to a conclusion that, ultimately, there is not something that takes time to achieve the target any desired him. Something that we call Allah SWT, the Lord of the god.

Second, of all things, according to the scientists, also according to Al-Quran, have reasons. However, if the reasons are realizing that something is? According to scientists, is not. Similarly, according to Al-Quran. What is known by scientists, certainly the only reason that precede or concurrently with the occurrence of something. If the stated reason that it is to realize and create things, appear a scientific and philosophical objections.

As something that precedes, it is correct. However preliminaries this can not be used as a base that is developed. “Lights are visible before the sound of a cannon boom is not the cause of the voice and not the cause of telontarnya bullet,” said David Hume. “Chicken is always boast rising before dawn is not the cause of the rising morning,” said Al-liters before David Hume was born. “The movement of goods from A to B and from B to C and from C to D, can not be used as the basis for the claim that pergerakannya from B to C is due pergerakannya from A to B,” said Isaac Newton, the discoverer style gravity .

If so, what is called the laws of nature nothing except “a summary of statistical averages” (an overview of statistics Average). Therefore, as stated by Pierce, natural scientist, what we call “coincidence” nowadays, is a process that may be the occurrence of a natural law or customs. Even Einstein, more firmly again, stating that all what happens to be realized by the “superior reasoning power” (the superior strength of logics). Or, according to language Al-Quran, “Al-‘Aziz Al-‘Alim,” Allah the Almighty, the Knower. This is reiterated by the Lord in the letter of Isra ‘Mi’raj, and with his word: To God only subject all that in the heavens and the earth, including the animals slither, also angels, while they are not proud. They fear their Lord above them in power and do what they are (to them) (QS 16:49-50).

Introduction to the next God give is: Do not ask for haste. Unfortunately, the human tempered hastily, as when God told emphasized the Isra ‘this is the human tempered hastily (QS 17:11). Ketergesa-gesaan is between the other makes it can not distinguish between: (a) that it is impossible to rationally with the impossible according to the customs, (b) is incompatible with the intellect that are not yet understood by the intellect, and (c) the rational and irrational with the suprarasional.

From another aspect, in a collection of verses that accompany the description of Al-Quran on the Isra ‘Mi’raj, and this, in a letter Isra’ own, repeatedly emphasized the limitations of human knowledge and attitudes concerning the need to take these limitations. Simaklah verses of the following: He (God) to create any (creature) that you do not know (QS 16:8); Allah knows, and you do not know (QS 16:74), and not unless you are given slightly (QS 17:85), and many more. That is why, reiterated by God with his word: And do not take a stance (either in the form of speech or action) that you do not have knowledge about it; for the hearing, eyes, and hearts, all that will soon asked for accountability (QS 17:36).

What is emphasized by the Al-Quran about the limitations of human knowledge is recognized by scientists in the century to 20. Schwart, a celebrated French specialist in mathematics, states: “Physics 19th century with the proud self-judge the ability of all the problems of life, even to any rhythm. The physics-century-20 is sure that he is not fully know everything, although that is called even material. ” Meanwhile, Black holes theory that “knowledge about human nature but only reached 3%, while 97% are outside the ability of human beings.”

If so, if, once again in case, someone’s knowledge or not is not up to the scientific understanding of the events of the Isra ‘Mi’raj, and this, if correct, and so there is still the same, of course, the demands of business or returns to the ” scientific “does not become more scientific. It seems increasingly clear that if the basic philosophical note from the science is trial and error, namely, observation and experimentation of the phenomenon, a phenomenon of nature that apply in every place and time, by anyone. Actually, the Isra ‘Mi’raj, and only happens once. This means that the proteins can not be tested, observed and made experimentation.

That is why Kierkegaard, of existentialism, stating: “One should not believe because he knew, but because he did not know.” And that’s also the reason why Immanuel Kant said: “I am forced to stop the scientific research in order to provide time for the writers to believe.” And that’s also why the “by” a messenger brought from the travel Isra ‘Mi’raj, and this is the obligation of prayer; as the most important prayer is a means to cleanse the soul and maintain ruhani.

We believe Isra ‘Mi’raj, and, because there is no difference between events that happened once and the events that occurred repeatedly during all of that and created the authority and the Lord of the god.

Al-Quran before the end pengantarnya about this event, and diungkapnya before this event, how soon representational practices of those who do not have the attitude and how that should take. He said: O Muhammad be patient; kesabaranmu but not with the help of God. Do not grieve the (recession) them. Do not you also bersempit chest against what they tipudayakan. Allah is with those who are cautious and people who do good. (QS 16:127-128). This is the introduction of Al-Quran, which was delivered before the event diceritakannya Isra ‘and Mi’raj.

Apparently, a more reasonable not to question how the Isra ‘and Mi’ RAJ happen, but why Isra ‘and Mi’ RAJ.

As has been the initial description, the Al-Quran, in the eighth to the fifteenth, decompose and stressed the importance of fully human development and community development with konsolidasinya. This klimaksnya reached at the fifteenth or the seventh letter of remorse, on the personal servants of God-in-a isra’, namely Muhammad., And the values that he be in the community. Therefore, the group told Signs that this event (in Al-Isra ‘), found the many instructions to build and build community.

First, find instructions for conducting prayers five times (in paragraph 78). And the prayer is also a core event of Isra ‘Mi’raj, and this, because prayer is in reality the absolute need to fully realize human beings, needs resourceful human mind and soul, as he needs to realize is that the public fully expected by the people. Prayers needed by the human mind and intellect, because he is the embodiment of the relationship with God, the relationship between the knowledge about the governance of natural botanical work, which is running under one system. Prayers also describes the layout of the intelligence that total, which is fully supervised and controlled by a force of the Mahadahsyat and Knower, the Lord of the god. And if so, they are not mistaken when it is said that the depth of knowledge about someone’s governance work is the natural highway, will be more diligent and devoted, he also implement shalatnya.

Prayers also needs a soul. Because, no one in his life journey that never feel afraid, or expect. Until, ultimately, conscious or not, he hopes to convey to him and keluhannya the Almighty. And of course, is a sign of depravity moral character and modesty, when someone came face to God himself only at the time by himself didesak needs.

Prayers are also needed by the human community, because of the prayer, in which contain extensive, is a basic development. Ancient Roman people reached the peak of expertise in the field of architecture, which until now still admiring experts, also because of the encouragement. Therefore, Alexis Carrel said: “When the dedication, prayers and heartfelt prayers to the Almighty Creator removed from the middle of the life of a group, then it means that we have signed a contract for the disintegration of the community.” And, to remember, Alexis Carrel is not the one who has a background of religious education. He is a physician who has twice received the Nobel prize on the results of research on the heart and pencangkokannya sparrow. And, according to Larouse Dictionary, Alexis Carrel stated as a personal thoughts, thoughts will be a fundamental effect on the XX of this century.

What the scientists stated this in line with the determination of Al-Quran were found in the introduction about the events uraiannya Isra ‘in Al-Nahl verse 26. There described a group of community protest against the instructions of God and their fate according to the paragraph: God destroy buildings from their foundations, roofs and building on them from above, and punishment came to them from the direction that they do not think (QS 16: 26).

Second, these instructions are found in the other series of verses that describe the events Isra ‘Mi’raj, and, in the framework of human development and fully fair and prosperous society, among others, is: If we want to destroy a country, then we commanded to the people those who live luxuriously in the country (so that they obey God to live in simplicity), but they disobeyed; sepantasnyalah then have them apply to the provisions of Us and We destroyed the country sehancur-destruction (QS 17:16).

This is emphasized in the letter that “Indeed, people are overweight are brothers, the devil” (QS 17:27).

And therefore, every person must live in simplicity and balance: And do not make the hand terbelenggu (on lehermu and vice versa), do not you also mengulurkannya too, so you do not become deformed and regret (QS 17:29).

In fact, simplicity is charged not only in the economic field, but also in the field of worship. Simplicity in worship such as prayer, not only on the reduction of the number of prayers from fifty to five times a day, but also on the instructions found in Al-Isra ‘These, too, which is associated with the voice of prayer when implemented: Do not tighten voices in shalatmu and also do not merendahkannya, but the look in the middle of the road between the two (QS 17: 110).

In the middle of the road between the two is useful to be able to achieve concentration, reading and understanding of humility. At the same time, prayer, which was conducted with the “middle way” that does not cause interference or invite interference, whether the interference to fellow Muslim brother or non-Muslims, who are studying possible, berzikir, or may be sick, or babies who sleeping soundly. Why? Because, in the womb told Signs of this event, God stressed the importance of unity, all the people. Thus, each person can perform the task properly, in accordance with the capabilities and potentials, which ended without any religion, faith, and faith of other people. This is in accordance with the word of God:

Say O Muhammad, “Let each person according to field work and capabilities of each.” God knows who is more the way (QS 17:84).
Finally, before the description of this disudahi, there is good diving in the last paragraph, which recounts the events of Isra ‘Mi’raj, and this: Say O Muhammad: “Believe or you do not believe (the same for both of God).” But they are given knowledge beforehand, when presented to them, they root up on their faces, while prostrate (QS 17: 107).

That is a small part of the instructions and the impression that we can understand, each letter of introduction from the description of Isra; namely Al-Nahl, and Al-Isra ‘own. Special events in the understanding of Isra ‘Mi’raj, and this, hopefully we can catch symptoms and express confidence about the spirits of the Mahaagung intellectuality, the Lord of the god in the universe, and able to formulate the needs of mankind for memujaNya simultaneously serve Him.
