Piety is an effort to keep away
from anything sinful, is by way of leaving what
Allah prohibited, even leaving something that was not prohibited, for fear of falling into the forbidden
or sinful. From
the definition it can be
understood that the righteous are those
who always careful
in all matters, even to matters "mubah" (allowed). Rather than go
to something unlawful, the "syubhat"
(dubious) alone surely he left. This is in accordance with the words of the Prophet Muhammad: "A servant is not going to achieve
the degree of piety that he left what was not
prohibited, so as not to fall to
the things that are prohibited."
(Narrated by Tirmidhi)
Piety is a process. As it has the bridge
ladder rung as a step ladder to reach it. The previous scholars have taught how
to achieve the degree of truth that piety. No other fruit of piety is a strong belief
that fertilized with Khauf (fear of punishment
and the wrath of God), Raja’ (always expect
the abundance of God's grace), and Muraqabahtullah
(being watched by God).
The first process that must be
traversed to reach the Khauf piety or
fear of punishment and the wrath of God. To foster this fear, we first have to recognize
sin and its consequences. Know what is forbidden by Allah and the impact of the
act. Sometimes people commit sins because he does not know if it is forbidden in
the religion. Moreover, if it is already common people do. With the development
of the times, not the least sin and sinners and engineered in such a way that
it can no longer see the difference between gifts and bribes, between usury and
selling, between art and pornography, and so on.
After recognizing our sins, he should realize
that every little sin whatsoever undoubtedly noted and rewarded by Allah on the
Day of Judgment later. It may be that our sins are not taken into account that
will derail men into hell. Next, one must also be concerned if only he could no
longer repent, either because of his death or because it was bound by the shackles
of sin that he committed. Initially, it may be fun to try to sin, then repeat and
repeat again until finally trapped by sin and disobedience without being able
to break free again.
One thing is for sure, every sin sins will spawn
next. People who gamble
for example, if you win then it's a waste
of money with the other immorality, drunkenness or adultery. No way he
contributed to build
the mosque. Conversely, if he lost a bet he
could be a dark eye to violence, theft and even
murder.
Catwalk stairs next piety is raja' or the hope of abundant mercy of
God to His creatures. To foster this hope should we recognize every kindness. Know
what God commanded. Eat, drink, sleep, work, marital relationship, and so are
the things that everyday people do. Often people do it just because humanitarian
instincts without realizing that it is God's command. Therefore, we should realize
that God commanded us every kindness from the smallest thing to the largest. For
every goodness, God has provided bountifully rewarded. It could be that people
do not appreciate our good, but really God never waste the slightest kindness.
وَاصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
"And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good."
The next rung muraqabatullah or supervisory experience God. The righteous are
always ready to welcome God's command. Anywhere and anytime. When alone and when
with others. They also leave any ugliness. Not muraqabah when people were only able to run good of time with a lot
of people and could no longer do it when alone. Likewise, when people could leave
the ugliness just as with many people, but dare to do it when alone.
Therefore, the scholars distinguish between the things that should be done openly and what
should be done in secret. Mandatory practice as
fard salat, zakat,
fasting Ramadan, close
the genitals, better even partially revealed it
to be seen by others. Instead, practice such
as prayer sunna sunna, sunna fasting, alms,
should be done secretly unless we believe that
it is for the propagation of
Islam and does not tarnish
our sincerity.
