The Rise of Islam (P/B)

Kepribadian Seorang Muslim: yang ditekankan oleh Al Qur’an maupun sunnah. Kalau kita membaca Al-Qur’an dan hadits-hadits nabi saw maka kita akan mendapatkan banyak sekali petunjuk dan ajaran yang mengajarkan agar seorang muslim menjadi orang yang paripurna, menjadi orang yang berguna bagi bangsa dan agamanya, namun tidak semua orang bisa memahami nash-nash Al-Qur’an dan hadits berkaitan dengan karkter dan sifat-sifat seorang muslim. Dalam buku ini penulis menyajikan kepada kita hasil telaah beliau yang luas dan mendalam tentang karakter seorang muslim sebagaimana yang dikehendaki olah Al-Qur’an dan hadits nabi. Beliau memaparkan bagaiman semestinya hubungan antara seorang muslim dengan tuhannya, dengan kedua orang tuanya, dengan saudara-saudaranya, dengan anak dan isterinya, dengan tetangga dan masyarakatnya, bangsa dan negaranya. This is the Indonesian translation of the book The Ideal Muslim: The True Islamic Personality of the Muslim as Defined in the Qur’an and Sunnah. In all areas of life, we can learn through the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). There are many lessons to learn by his example. They lead us to believe that the good personality traits of a Muslim are ones that naturally propel us to be closer to Allah. In this book we examine proofs from the Qur’an and the Sunnah that give us an idea about those characteristics that will guide us in our hearts and actions to be better people in the eyes of our Creator. The author gives a clear overview of the practical aspects of the Islamic lifestyle, as exemplified by the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and his Companions. Moving from the innermost aspect of the individual’s spiritual life to his dealings with all those around him, one can see how the Muslim is expected to interact with all others in his life. This book is valuable for individual self-development, but will also serve as a rich source of material and ideas for study circles and discussion groups. The author supports each point with extensively evidential quotations from the Qur’an and Sunnah and gives us thereby an insight into the life of the first Muslim community in Madinah. At a time when alien influences are overwhelming Muslims throughout the world and the temptation to adopt un-Islamic ways is greater than ever, this book serves as a timely reminder to us to go back to our Islamic sources and to adhere to our distinct, divinely-ordained way of life.
