Islam
the Peacefull Relegion
(An
Essays to Answer the Accusation of Violance)
Conceptually,
The main doctrine in Islam is stressing For peace tought. Islam it'self mean peaceful, secure, safe and surrender to
the god as indicated in every last mentioned of ritual prayer. It mean that the
Moslem have an obligation to uphold the safety and peacefully to whole of human
being. It also a symbol that the last estuary of Islamic teaching is peace. But
in the Islamic history, the concept is not running as well as the reality. The
trace of Islamic history pointed to the
contrary.
In the beginning of
Islam, the war happened, more than six wars were followed in prophet of
Mohammed's life. Wars also accured in
chaliphate era. In the beginning of Abu
Bakar's governance, war took place between Muslim because of abusement some of
tribes to do zakat. It well known as zakat rebellion. Event the three
chaliphates; Omar bin Khattab, Osman bin Affan and Ali bin Abi thalib were
killed terrifically cause of political dissension. 1
Many
violances were also happened as long as Islamic dynasty accured, especially in
the order of Umayyid and Abbasid dynasty. The violances not only physically but also intellectually. The
intellectual violence accuring for the thinkers who were suspected eliminated
the power of a regime as what happened to Ghaylan al-Dimasyqi and Al-ja'd bin
Dirham who argued that the authority of chaliphate not only on Quraesh clan as
the Sunni and Si'i's understanding. but also for all of Moslem who was elected
to get the authority based on musyawarah (agreement).2
The violence of political also was
terrify and horrible. In Umayyid dynasty regime-Yazid bin Mu'awiyah- cutted the head of Husain in Ali off and
carried it to the palace plaid as like as football game. This presedent
wellknown as "karbala
tragedy" . In Abbasid dynasty, Akbar S Ahmed descript it as the effort of
abbasid

summer
Juny,750 M in his house which was located in Jaffa. When the 8 invited
men
was having dinner, they were captured and stabbed with sword by Abbasid's
soldiers where the servants spread of a plaited mat on their boddies which were
wriggle and the other guest still have dinner nicely.3
These presedent gave the
black image that Islam was a religion which is legally allowed Moslem to do
violances and spread it based on the violances. Latter on, it came simbol,
Islam was spreading by sword as the some of the orientalist said. Surely, this
slogan should be dinaid by view of
scientific argue. We have to say that the idealism of Islam out of violances.
Islam and Moslem are two term different. We cannot say, the deed is
representative of the a religion tought cause the all of religion in the world
stressing for peace, include the Islam it'self. But sometime the followers
missintrepretate it.
In
the prophet of Muhammad's life, the wars intended to uphold the justice and
equality equality
of human being and defends of them self, revealed by qur'an Q.S:4:75: "Why
don't you fight in a god way and defend the weakhuman consiting of men, girls
and children who whole were praying: Oh our God, save us from this country
where the citizen treat us so cruelly and give us your protector and blessing".
And also in verse : " Do fight in a God way for those who fight you (but)
do not be profuse, because God dislike to the copious". 4
There are lot of
causes why the harshness and terrorism commonly happened recently in the the
world. The Moslem people realized that the revenge of crussed made the trauma
each other. And the feeling seemly kwnown and reputed by the action of the Europe
contries in handle the problem of Islamic countries. In this case, United state
tends to side with Israel
felt by Moslem as unfair and unjustice.
The political foreign
of united state always damage the prestiges of Moslem countries. The political
unjustice exploded the anger of some
Moslem to fight and share jihad to the interes of westworld life. More and more, the harshness always
accured between west and Islamic countries, especially after bombing tragedy of
accured between west and Islamic
countries, especially after bombing tragedy of World Trade centre September-09 -2001. The hurt feeling, make
some Moslem

yelled the fighting to the westcountry
as jihad as their opinion. They look
for the primordialism identity by depicting again the
religion values. Unfortunetly, the values tend to show the identity and simbol
not soul of values expressed by good conducted.
Based on these fact,
we can conclude that the harshness in religion because of revenge not motion of
the religion it'self. Thus, subjectivity can change the undersanding of
religion from goodness to badness. The harshness and terrorism were done by
some Moslems indeed unsuitable with the principle and the Islamic teaching because
killing someone without right as if as killing all of human being. Al-Qur'an
said: "In the other, who give someone life as if as giving life to all of
human being "(Q.S: al-Maidah: 32) .5
The terrorism
in the name of Islam that recently happened causes many factors. The
main dominant factor are the difficulties of economic Islamic world globally,
education, job, and shallowness of religion. But from those factors, the
shallowness of religion is the top one influence because someone event has poverty
of economic but having good knowledge of religion does not do the terrorism.
The deed of terrorism
usually related to jihad but the term of jihad in Islam indeed has wide
meaning. Jihad can be intrepretated as our daily activity, not only
identifically for a war but also controlling the passion and desire, as our
prophet Mohammed said in his hadits: “we have just comeback from the trivial
war to the big war?”. Someone asked him:” What do you mean by a big war’?. He
answered: “The big war is fighting your passion and desire”.
In
Islam, The faith related to ‘amal us-sholihah’ (good deed) which is
should be reputed by good action and avoiding bad deed, such as terrorism,
corruption, collution and manipulation. Running on teaching the whole of
principle of Islam perfectly (kaffah) can be done by doing of the
principle of balances (tawazun) and standing in the middle (tawassuth)
and tolerance (tasamuh) till they have friendship not the hostility
taste to the out of their group. It mean that Islam gives an
appreciation the different among us. It can be seen and imitated how our
prophet Mohammed designed The Madinah country full with the tolerance and
harmony.
