Islam is not a religion of Nihilism



 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمدلله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله


Ini antara yang saya maksudkan sebelum ini,

1. Perhatikan pada seluruh ulama' muktabar dan kumpulan ulama' pada masa ini. Sekadar saya sebutkan yang terkenal, AlHabib Omar di Yaman, Assyahid Syeikh Said Ramadhan Albuti di Syria, Syeikh Ali Jum'ah di Mesir, Nahdatul Ulama di Indonesia, Baba-baba di Patani, Darul Ulum di Asia Selatan. Insha Allah kita akan dapati cara fikir mereka terhadap isu semasa amat mirip sekali. Walaupun mungkin berbeza metodologi pendidikan.

2. Kerana itu. Disebabkan kekurangan yang ada pada diri kita, maka langkah selamat adalah dengan mengambil kira ijtihad ulama' terhadap isu semasa,

3. Teringat pesan Habib Ahmad Almaqdi (lebih kurang);
"Kamu sekadar melihat suatu perkara dari tingkat dua (banggunan). Tapi Ulama melihatnya dari tingkat empat. Manakan sama pandangan kamu dan ulama.." (Sudut pandang lebih luas dan pemahaman agama mereka lebih mendalam)

4. Bila berdepan dengan dunia yang tidak beradab dengan ulama', berlepas dirilah dari situ. Bimbang Ilmu dan Aqal kita belum cukup matang untuk menanganinya.

5. Jika budak kecil berumur enam tahun ditegah dari memandu dijalan raya yang sibuk. Kita juga faham kenapa. Bukan menidakkan keupayaannya berfikir. Tapi bukan masanya lagi.
