Islam as a Closing Religion
In the early 21st century, many were excited about Islam. The focus of the whole world, which in the past had been on their personal territory, with the problems of colonialism, conquest, war, communism, and liberalism, was now forced to set up a bench and watch Islam.
During the period of watching Islam, all tendencies or emotions can be born. Suddenly love, suddenly understand, suddenly sympathize, or suddenly hate and phobia, this is because the influence of Islam through its teachings is so direct to the heart.
Stabbing those who try to run. So that people who deal with Islam only have two choices, refuse without being able to avoid or admit and surrender.
From those who try to understand Islam deeply, it turns out that this religion is the embodiment of a sense of friendship between God and His Servant. This is reflected in how Islam is delivered.
The content in the Qur'an contains criticism, solutions, stories of the past, knowledge of cosmology, all of which relate to humans and not God explicitly. Because in the Koran God is described by means of figure of speech and parables, so God in Islam is so mysterious.
From the mercenary Aukai Collins who became a Muslim, to Jeffrey Lang, a genius mathematician, discover the mysterious side of Islam that is different from other religions. His mysterious side promises a relentless search for the form of God. But the final stop in terms of religion for humans.
This religion governs everything, from the way people treat the toilet, to having sex, so it's no wonder Islam is so dogmatic, so complete, and so amazing to those who like to underestimate the existence of God.
God is present in the daily life of Muslims, from greeting each other, to being touched by the beauty of the earth. Even someone who suddenly likes writing, without being commanded, he prays for the author to be blessed from God.
Initially
In the middle of the barren and arid desert. When the weather is so extreme, only a few variants of species inhabit the Arabian peninsula. Islam is growing.
Brought by the Prophet Muhammad who received prophetic revelation in 610 AD. Brought in the midst of a barbarian Arab population, living a dirty life at will, cruel to women, and inhabiting the last place where humans want to live on earth.
The result is a masterpiece of a human empire with unmatched civilizational heights and cultural richness in the name of Islam that stretches from Morocco, Africa to Merauke, Indonesia. In fact, some African sailors passed it on to the Native Americans, and manifested itself in the Cheyenne.
Why did Muhammad SAW succeed? Why can Islam be established on earth with 1.5 billion people in 2009, and the development of Islam in the world reached 2.9%, far from the growth of the world population which was only 2.3%?
Referring to history, reflecting on how Islam was treated by Western domination, which replaced Islam as the enemy as the collapse of communism, Islam remained the victor. Instead, the answer is contained in the mysterious side of Islam itself.
Islamic Issues
Islam adapts to all the customs of a nation. The principle is to simplify and not to complicate. In Indonesia, Islam is spread by way of syncretism in the original culture. And that makes for a friendly deployment.
In France and some European countries, Islam was introduced by giving women honor, so the reason they hate Islam because Islam demeans women is dismissed by itself.
Islam is also able to adapt to modern issues in the field of science and technology. Adapting to the modern cosmological theory of creation, based on what has been mentioned in the Qur'an, as discussed by scientists such as Roger Garaudy or Harun Yahya. And inspired many scientists to know human anatomy.
Another issue is human rights, which Islam can maintain its running speed. So as long as everything does not violate aqidah, namely faith in Allah Ta'ala. as the One God; faith in the prophethood of Muhammad and its main teachings; root and branch area, negotiable. And the world is becoming more and more colorful.
Islam as a closing religion can be interpreted as someone can start with non-Islam, and then make Islam the last stop, without having to be demonstrative, because for Islam the first thing to see is the sincerity in one's own conscience.
