The fourth Pillar Of Faith | Faith In The Prophet And The Apostle

The fourth pillar of faith is to have faith in the prophet and Apostle Allah Almighty. Faith in the Prophets and apostles means that we as a Muslim must believe with all the heart that Allah has sent prophets and apostles to convey revelation and guide all people and their peoples to the straight path of the way that is shown by Allah Almighty. Especially for the apostles of Allah ALMIGHTY is also given some remarkable miracles.

Allah Almighty has said in Surah Al Imran verse to 164 as follows:

لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ

Means :

Certainly, did Allah confer (great) favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the boom and wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error?

And Allah ALMIGHTY has also said in Surah An Nissa verse to 163 as follows:

إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ كَمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْأَسْبَاطِ وَعِيسَىٰ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ وَهَارُونَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ۚ وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُورًا

Means :

Indeed, We have revealed to you,(O Muhammad), as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David, We gave the book (of Psalms).

Then Allah Almighty also said in Surah Al-Ahzab verse to 45 as follow :

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

Means :

O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

THE DUTIES OF THE APOSTLE

The duties of the Apostle Allah Almighty are :

1. The Apostle is a messenger (bearer) of the doctrine of Tauhid (in Arabic) which is the teaching to be God ALMIGHTY.

2. Apostle is a messenger (bearer of glad tidings) to the obedient servant of Allah ALMIGHTY and will someday get a reply of goodness in the form of God ALMIGHTY.

3. The Apostle is Messenger as a Warner to the people who deny, commit evil and immoral and Zhalim (Arabic). This deed will get a future reply that is God ALMIGHTY.

4. The Apostle is a messenger as a mentor and builder of human life in order to have a noble character.

THE PROPERTIES OF THE APOSTLE

The Prophets and apostles are elected humans who of course have advantages compared to humans in general. An apostle has three traits, the obligatory nature, nature is impossible and the nature of Jazz.

A. MANDATORY NATURE FOR THE APOSTLE

The mandatory nature of the prophets and Apostles are four (4) kinds:

A. Siddiq

The meaning of Siddiq is said right. This means that anything that is said by the Prophets and apostles is true and there is no doubt at all to him.

B. Amanah

The meaning of trust is can trust. The Prophets and apostles are honest men who are deeply believed by his people.

C. Tabligh

The meaning of Tabligh is conveying. The Apostles were a chosen man chosen by God SWT to convey the revelation he had received to the people or their saints. The Apostles delivered the revelation he received as it was without being added or reduced even though the slightest.

D. Fathanah

The meaning of Gathanah is intelligent. The apostles are the elect of God ALMIGHTY who have the cleverness, intelligent mind, not the artist and not senile.

B. IMPROBABLE NATURE OF APOSTLE

Nature is impossible for the prophets and apostles there are four (4) kinds:

A. Kizib

The meaning of Kizib is a lie and is the opposite of Siddiq. The Prophets and apostles are unlikely to say a lie in everyday life, well in society let alone his people because they always say right.

B. Treacherous

The meaning of treacherous is untrustworthy and is the opposite of the nature of trust. The Prophets and apostles are unlikely to be traitorous and unwilling promises to his people because they always convey what is commanded by Allah Almighty.

C. Kitman

The meaning of Kitman is hiding and is the opposite of Tabligh. The Prophets and apostles are unlikely to hide the revelations he received at the very least because they were instructed to convey a revelation they could of God.

D. Baladah or Jahlun

The meaning of Baladah is stupid and is the opposite of Fathanah nature. A prophet and an apostle may not be a fool, for if they are foolish they shall be played by the people or their men.

C. JAIZ'S NATURE FOR APOSTLES

The name of the Jaiz of the Prophets and apostles is Al Aradul Basyariyah, that the prophets and apostles behave as a habit of the human being to eat, drink, sleep, ache, thirst, hunger, weary, lethargic and human nature in Generally.

The question then, where are the prophets and apostles sent?

In addition to the twenty-fifth prophet and apostle who we must know, Allah ALMIGHTY has also sent the prophets before. This can be seen from the word of Allah in Surah Al-Mukmin verse to 78 as follows:

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قُضِيَ بِالْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

Means :

And we have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those (whose stories) We have related to you, and among them are those you (Whose stories) We have not related to you. And it was not any messenger to bring a sign (or verse) except by permission of Allah. So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose (All).
