Love and Compassion, Main Principles of Islam
Surely we can say that the core of the overall Islamic teachings is love. Starting from the source of origin (Allah SWT) guide book (the Koran), and its practical application (Muhammad SAW) is love
Not long after the Prophet died, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq who was elected as Deputy Aisha came and asked him, what the hell is often done by the Prophet Muhammad that he had not fulfilled?
Aisha then pointed out that in the village there was a Jewish woman, was very old again blind, and from his mouth the words always came out insults, curses, insults and criticism of Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad came to visit him every day, to feed and care for this old woman with affection. This old woman did not know that the care is great man who always reviled and in contempt it.
When Abu Bakr and then found the old woman, Abu Bakr was trying to reach out and try to do as the Prophet to it. However, only the first mouthful, the old woman what was spewed into his mouth, and said very angrily, "Who are you?" Certainly not you who often come to feed and take care of me. Not like it the way he treated me. "
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq said, Yes Nan, it's not me. People who go grandmother had died and he is Muhammad." Hearing the name of Muhammad is mentioned, the old grandmother had jumped, really different from what's on her mind for this, but he still managed to say, and then died. It's very private great prophet. Contempt, ridicule, insults, curses, hatred, Jewish grandmother did not make his great qualities injury slightest. She still treated him with all my affection.
One evidence which confirms the greatness of nature is very gracious and compassionate. No wonder so many enemies that became defenders and loyal friend. No wonder also if our friends so very loved beyond love even to himself and his family.
Abu Sufyan, the enemy of the Prophet in awe and say ,... Really I've never seen anyone who loved his friend as the friend of Muhammad's love'.... No wonder, because God himself praised the great person, wa la innaka 'ala khuluqin adhim ( it already exists in you a great moral temperament ).
Where's the nature of the Prophet's affection? Why he embedded in the very nature of love and love it...?
In this case, there are three things that might be explained associated with this great person. The first is the Almighty God as the primary educators, and the educated are direct, which is recognized by the Prophet himself, the rabbi Addabani fa ahsana ta'dibi ( my Lord has taught me and taught me the best education ). As educators most noble, God himself through the Holy Quran tells us that He alone made it compulsory for him the nature of love, kataba 'ala al-nafsihi mercy.
Living Guidelines
From here then we can guess and know that whatever is derived from Him must be the product of the nature of these affections. Starting from the mission of the prophets and messengers to guide mankind to the task, reducing the scriptures (verse qauliyah) which is his word for guidance and direction of life. Of the universe (verse kauniyah) are subordinated to men to be managed and in accordance in lead his instructions, and others. Compassion is what underlies all this is. This is important to note as a basic paradigm of the overall teachings of Islam itself.
There's even called surah surah al-Rahman (the love chapter). God as the source of love, the love not only the book of guidance lower, but also sent a messenger as an example of life, the real application of the book or commonly termed a walking Quran.
He is Muhammad. God Himself through the Holy Quran states, Wa arsalnaka illa ma lil rahmatan'alamin (It is not I sent thee (Muhammad) except for a Mercy for all creatures. A'ishah When asked about the character of the Prophet Muhammad, Aisha said, kana khuluquhu Quran (Morals he is the Holy Quran).
What I tell the above is a bit of a long episode of his life journey in applying the principle of love. He also once said, irhamu man fi al-ardhi yarhamkum man fi al-samai.
Excerpt story Jewish grandmother hated the Prophet insisted and convinced us of how the principle of love that is the core of Islamic principles, above all, regardless of to whom the object of affection was intended.
Thus, we can truly say that the core of the overall Islamic teachings is love. Starting from the source of origin (Allah SWT) guide book (the Koran), and its practical application (Muhammad SAW) is love.
Both bias
All the commands and prohibitions of religious doctrine, or in other words, Islamic law, fundamental is love. Law becomes the means for us to make sure every one of love. Even the principle of heaven and hell is love.
Hell is not God made intentionally to punish the sinful servant, but behind it there is the principle underlying affection. "Mercy precedes His wrath" as one of the Prophet we read.
The scholars we interpret it, "even in anger though, behind the calamities that befall us, for example, actually saved his affection."
Of course if the principle of love, will give birth outlook, way of thinking, way of being, and how to act that would be different from the others. This principle is also what makes Islam being inclusive because his approach to others is kindness, thinking positive, and prejudices either.
When a young man came to the Prophet assembly and frankly stated his desire to commit adultery, because he could not restrain himself, the friends in the board's reaction. There is a reproach, there is an interesting shirt, and some are ready to hit him.
However, the Prophet, lovingly pulled the young man approached him, and began talking to him from the heart. you if your mother is also by someone...? Likewise, among others Prophet content of the conversation entirely unexpected boy, and so humanity inner side, which then caused him to lose all desire to commit adultery.
As a servant of Allah the Merciful, who guided the Koran holy book, and Muhammad follow, we certainly are required to radiate the love principle to the universe as a whole. that love should we send out every moment, every second, every minute, every hour, every day to anybody and to all His creatures.
Compassion in Islam was not familiar with specific time, like the celebrated mostly young children us today, and love as they knew it was contrary to the love of Islam are taught.
