Moslem’s Lifestyle – 6

(Islamic Poetry Collection)

by H Rubijanto.

A Balanced Integrated Education.

It should be a comprehensive effort to realize total Moslem Education,

It should be a balanced concept of spiritual and logical aspects in the establishment of curriculum and syllabus,

The process will generate the mechanism of continues improvement towards individual and collective progress,

This path towards the perfect objective of complete submission to Allah

as individual and community cluster.

An integrated personality has a capability to achieve knowing and being attitude; having power to balance its own willing and the purpose of Moslem social – life, placing the knowledge of science and technology as the important role in generating the human-welfare,

All of it is under the control of Allah’s Sovereignty, guided to the total Welfare in this world and hereafter.

Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: While I was asleep I saw (in a dream) a cup containing milk being presented to me. I took out of that until I perceived freshness being reflected through my nails. Then I presented the left over to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. They said: Allah's Messenger: How do you interpret it? He said: This implies Knowledge. (Bukhari-Muslim)

The Dimensions.

The spirit of Islamic Education should be the core of Curriculum based

on the principle of total submission to Allah swt.,

There is no god but Allah swt., all His Creation day and night worships

none but Him,

This universal guidance sent for the sake and benefit of all humanity.

It is not a new dimension of any philosophy, or a new innovation on human civilization,

The spirit Islamic Education is totally oriented and directed to a dignity message through Nabi Muhammad saw., completed and perfected all prior messages, as the seal of earlier prophets

This comprehensiveness of the perfection covers all dimensions of humanity taught and behavior, morality judgment, and the knowledge of attitudes,

self-restraint and self-control against temptation of fornication, corruption

and drugs.

“Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee the interpretation of stories (and events) and perfect His favor to thee and to the posterity of Yacob,

even as He perfected it to thy fathers Abraham and Isaac aforetime.

For thy Lord is full of knowledge and wisdom”. (Yusuf: 6).

Contribution to New Paradigm.

Islamic Education should more emphasize spiritual values over materialism,

in spite of it is an integrated in one concept as ‘ummatic civilization’,

The sacred Islamic values have its prominent role in the human resources development, individuals and groups.

This sacred value generates the strategic and operational way of behaving

and way of life.

Verily, Islamic faith and practices emerges as its own civilization among

the changing global way of thinking,

There will be a significant influence on attitudes, morality and operational process of the humanity establishment,

It will be an excellent respond of current and future requirement in resolving

more complex and multifaceted changing problem and solution.

The Islamic approach and method is unlimited in time and affirmation,

for it has ‘kaffah’ or holistic comprehensive system,

The socio cultural and human civilization, in all time has a limited space, anyhow, to across the borderline of Allah’s will and guidance.

“Do they just wait for the final fulfillment of the event? On the day

the event is finally fulfilled, those who disregarded it before will say:

The apostles of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). Have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back?

Then should we behave differently from our behavior in the past.

In fact they will have lost their souls, and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch”. (Al A’raf: 53). Bandung, 8 Ramadhan 1428 H.
