  1. (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)

  2. THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT OF ISLAM

  3. Comes from an Arabic root word meaning "peace" and "submission."   • The religion of Islam is the acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad. WHAT IS ISLAM?

  4. FOUNDATION OF ISLAMIC SYSTEMS • Aqidah (Belief) • Ibadah (Worship) • Akhlak (Ethics)

  5. 1. BELIEF (Aqidah) Definition: “The acceptance of and obedience to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad SAW.”

  6. Belief in truth and values that is fixed and permanent, certain and sacred. It is a belief that strongly kept by oneself that cannot bedistorted by anything at any time. Kepercayaan atau keimanan kepada hakikat-hakikat dan nilai-nilai yang mutlak, yang tetap dan kekal, yang pasti dan suci seperti yang diwajibkan Islam; iaitu kepercayaan yang tersimpul dengan kukuh dalam jiwa sehingga tidak mungkin akan terurai atau tertutup walau oleh apa jua keadaan dan suasana

  7. An institution can be illustrated as a complete building Without strong foundation/base, the building cannot be build and cannot stand on its own Aqidah is considered the foundation that can support the development of an Islamic institution.

  8. AQIDAH VS IDEOLOGY

  9. MEANING OF FAITH (IMAN) The utterance of the tongue, heart and the action of the limbs according to the teachings of God which He revealed to His last prophet, Muhammad

  10. …FAITH • Faith increases with obedience and decreases with disobedience. • "Having faith in Allah" is to grasp that Allah is the sole Creator and Owner of everything, the only Judge.

  11. PILLARS OF FAITH • Must be based on al-Qur’an & as-Sunnah – 6 pillars of faith (rukun iman) • Belief in Allah • Belief in His Angels • Belief in His Messanger • Belief in His Books • Belief in Hereafter • Belief in Qada’ & Qadar

  12. "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof." (Saying of the Prophet, pbuh)

  13. Faith (iman) is the state in which the heart accepts the Truth and lives by it. It is to believe in its six 'pillars' such that, the lips and tongue make the confession of the truth, and the limbs execute what is required of them by the truth.

  14. Do you think your thinking, idea, perception and behavior according to system laid by Allah s.w.t.?

  15. 2. WORSHIP (IBADAH) Worship is everything one says or does for the pleasure of Allah. This, of course, includes rituals as well as beliefs, social activities and personal contributions to the welfare of one's fellow human-beings “And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (alone)”. (Adh-Dhariyat, 51:56)

  16. Islam requires us to submit our lifes completely to Allah, as the Quran instructed the Prophet Muhammad to do: "Say (O Muhammad) my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death belong to Allah; He has no partner and I am ordered to be among those who submit, i.e.; Muslims." (6:162-163)

  17. THE CONCEPT OF WORSHIP • A comprehensive concept that includes all the positive activities of the individual. This of course is in agreement with all inclusive nature of Islam as a way of life. • It regulates human life at all levels: individual, social, economic, political and spiritual. That is why Islam provides guidance to the smallest details of one's life on all these levels.

  18. CATEGORY OF WORSHIP • COMMON (umum) • SPECIFIC (khusus)

  19. CATEGORY OF WORSHIP 1. COMMON (umum) • All other activities in our daily life including managing ourselves, family, community, education, economy, politic etc. • Those activities, if it is managed according to Islamic teachings, will be considered ‘ibadah’ and will be rewarded accordingly. • Example: respect to parents, business activity etc.

  20. CATEGORY OF WORSHIP 2. SPECIFIC (khusus) • Essential and important – pillars of faith and pillars of Islam fall under this category • Considered as fardhu ‘ain • If specific worship is not performed, one can be considered as non-believer • Example: Daily prayer, zakat, fasting, hajj, etc.

  21. Among ritual worships, Solat (ritual prayer) occupies the key position for two reasons. • it is the distinctive mark of a believer. • it prevents an individual from all sorts of abominations and vices by providing him chances of direct communion with his Creator five times a day, wherein he renews his covenant with God and seeks His guidance again and again • Solat is the first practical manifestation of Faith and also the foremost of the basis conditions for the success of the believers.

  22. “…and keep up prayer; surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil; and certainly the remembrance of Allah is the greatest, and Allah knows what you do.” (al Quran; al Ankabut: 45)

  23. Zakat is a manifestation of faith that affirms that God is the sole owner of everything in the universe, and what men hold is a trust in their hand over which God made them trustees to discharge it as He has laid down: "Believe in Allah and His messenger and spend of that over which He made you trustees." (57:7)

  24. “Take alms out of their property, you would cleanse them and purify them thereby, and pray for them; surely your prayer is a relief to them; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.” (al Quran; al Taubah 9:103) Zakah is a means of redistribution of wealth in a way that reduces differences between classes and groups. It makes a fair contribution to social stability. By purging the soul of the rich from selfishness and the soul of the poor from envy and resentment against society, it stops up the channels leading to class hatred and makes it possible for the springs of brotherhood and solidarity.

  25. Siyam (fasting during the day time of the month of Ramadan) is another pillar of Islam. The main function of fasting is to make the Muslim pure from "within" as other aspects of Shariah make him pure from "without." By such purity he responds to what is true and good and shuns what is false and evil. This is what we can perceive in the Quranic verse: "O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may gain piety." (2:183)

  26. Al-Hajj (pilgrimage to the House of God in Makkah). This very important pillar of Islam manifests a unique unity, dispelling all kinds of differences. • Muslims from all corners of the world wearing the same dress, respond to the call of Hajj in one voice and language; LABBAIK ALLAHUMMA LABBAIK (Here I am at your service O Lord!). • In Hajj there is an exercise of strict self-discipline and control where not only sacred things are revered, but even the life of plants and birds is made inviolable so that everything lives in safety.

  27. 3. ETHICS (Akhlak) Ethics has been defined as: "The normative science of the conduct of human beings living in societies - a science which judges this conduct to be right or wrong, to be good or bad or in some similar way." • “A state where one do something without having to put an effort thinking before it”

  28. 3. AKHLAK and AQIDAH • Aqidah is a main foundation for Islam, therefore akhlak cannot be build without Aqidah. • Akhlak without aqidah is like a court without a judge.

  29. 3. AKHLAK and AQIDAH • Belief in Allah and belief in Hereafter is the foundation for akhlak/good deeds • In the hereafter, good behavior will be enjoy the rewards and bad behavior will be punished • Example: a Muslim who belief in Hereafter, he will not tell lies or backbiting

  30. As a part of this test, God also gave man the basic knowledge of 'good' and 'bad' at the time of his inception. Thus, according to Islam, every individual has been bestowed a clear standard of judgment of 'good' and 'evil' by God.

  31. The Qur'an says: The human soul - the way He molded it and inspired it with knowledge of its evil and its good - bears witness to the fact that indeed he, who cleanses it [of all impiety] shall be successful while he, who corrupts it shall face doom.

  32. Questions: • Why man needs system in their daily life? • What would be the consequences if there is no system/rules in the society?

  33. THANK YOU
