Observing the Inner Condition: When We Was in Maqam Higher
• Not easy to reach the station higher in mysticism, the search for God. If someone reach higher maqam is often not permanent, why?
• What tips maintain the station that has been achieved and continue to increase steadily?
• How do I get Husnul khatimah?
Maqam is like a ladder that has several steps that must be passed seekers (salik). From the first rung to the top rung requires struggle and spiritual effort, mujahadah and riyadhah. Rungs (maqamat) is not the same in every person or every congregation. But in general the maqam-maqam among other things: Repentance, shabr, qana'ah, wara ', syukr, resignation, pleasure, ma'rifah, mahabbah. Three station of the latter often regarded as peak maqam.
Jahada mujahadah from the root word means to fight and earnestly. Seakar word by word Jihad means struggle physically, intellectually struggling ijtihad, and mujahadah means if the inner struggle with. While riyadhah derived from the word radhyiya means happy, willingly. Seakar word by word ridhwan means of satisfaction and pleasure. Mujahadah and riyadhah are two things that have always been an integral part within a Sufi or salik.
Mujahadah and riyadhah could take the form of avoidance of minor sins (muru'ah), perform routine amaliah amalia-like fasting on Mondays and Thursdays and fasts other alternate days, do not leave sunnat prayers rawatib (qabliyah and ba'diyah ) and the other on alternate prayers, practice regular dhikr and wird, and reproduce social deeds with full sincerity, and leave the passion of anger and excessive love of the world.
When someone consistently undergo mujahadah and then automatically riyadhah man climbed the rungs higher. Fast or slow a person's spiritual journey is determined not hanyaoleh quantity but also the quality and riyadhah mujahadah it. There are people who managed to reach the station of the second or third, but difficult to ascend to the next because of the level mujahadah maqam and riyadhah his mediocre. There also continues skyrocketed and not too long in the bottom rungs. It all depends on the consistency (constancy) someone.
When someone crept up to leave its original position and then attempt to perform mujahadah and riyadhah then the question will give birth to a fundamental change in him, which is seen and felt by not only themselves but also the people concerned laing, especially for families and those closest.
Usually people who have entered the stairs salik it appears that many are addicted, even a kind of dependence, as during the course of his life is empty without meaning. He had felt the real meaning of life. That is why the emerging religious phenomena do solitude and wanderings from mosque to mosque, from one region to another, and even from one country to another. They left the family, put aside her regular job in the office, and replace old friend with a new spiritual friends.
But not a few people who were disappointed in his search. What is expected and imagined in his spiritual journey is different from the reality of life that happened, so they go back to the old world, probably much more to the rear setback. Both polar "extreme" is caused by the lack of a theoretical introduction on the world Sufis and Sufism. They instantly become practicing without ever obtaining introductions of an experienced spiritual teacher.
Fenomona spiritual life in the future tend increasingly menyempal. This is due to the disappointment of the vast potential in the inner environment of modern life and the emergence of study groups plus. As if the future was coming sooner beyond race pace prepare. As a result of multiple shock of being hit our people. Not only cultural shock as he had imagined Alfin Toffler in his monumental work, The Futur Shock.
Not just occurred in the Muslim community, but also the followers of other religions. As if some religious institutions and formal institutions are so long lived in the community felt adherents already with age. Thus happen distance between religion and tendency hearts content and way of thinking adherents. This phenomenon has the potential to give birth to a number of disappointments. What to watch, lest the disappointment was unleashed in the form of radical activities, which seems to be trying to stem the tide of the times. The rise of terrorism and the activities of religious anarchism themed around us may be an inherent part of a massive disappointment earlier.
Clifford Geertz in Islam Obeserved ever reminding us that when believers and religious teachings have started within it will be born situations giddy. This phenomenon, according to Geertz, will give birth to polarization in society that tends to confront each other. It would appear an even moderate liberal group, which will accommodate and provide religious justification for the development of the modern world, by creating a modern method possible methods, including a contextual approach, or method of hermeneutics. The verses and hadiths engineered in such a way to justify the will of age.
This group seems to have resigned to the will of the times. Finally, as if the Qur'an and hadith to be subject to modern times, buakan again Qur'an and Hadith that should guide the development of the times.
At the same time will appear radical group that seems to want to deny the reality of life is too foreign to them. They yearn for the days of the past are ever created The Golden Age. They missed the prophetic situation (prophetic system) to accommodate the religious emotions trend. They immediately rejected the idea of renewal by giving a variety of labels, such as secular, liberal, pluralism, modern ignorance, deislamisasi, the Zionist movement, Christianity, secular nationalists, westernization, and various other labels that can trigger protection and religious emotions of the people. Not to mention the biological attributes and clothing equate themselves with community groups (Arabs) who diidealisirnya as an ideal community. In fact, there should be an Arab to be the best Muslim. We can still be Indonesian, but grabbing perfect man, perfect man.
People who are familiar with a particular maqam need to examine the condition of his mind. There are two conditions that carefree experienced people, ie it and maqam. It is the momentary condition experienced by people who are experiencing spiritual moddd, when someone is being swept away by a certain inner atmosphere, which is usually due to certain kejadiankejadian triggered on him, such as he had just struck by disaster, being disappointed, being has a lavatory and weight requirements, or just follow the majlis dhikr that dazzle him.
Moods this person is feeling gracefully, tawadlu ', gratitude, resignation, pleasure, mahabbah, even felt so close to God.
Social actions also changed suddenly and seemed to be a person who is not himself. But these people are still fluctuating, depending on her mood.
While the station of permanent mental conditions experienced by someone because it was through a lengthy search process and riyadhah and mujahadah consistent. Suasasana her mind had not been triggered by specific events but has been through a very long spiritual training.
But not impossible it could become permanent when the person understands the special tips. The role of the sheikh, murshid, or spiritual guide is necessary in terms of improving it into the station. This is where the role is to organize a congregation of worshipers to perform riyadhah mujahadah and systematically.
Each congregation system varies, depending on the founder of his order. Sheikh, murshid, and the congregation is a great benefit to people who would seriously pursue the world of mysticism.
Modern Salik not necessarily have to make drastic changes of various aspects of life. An improper salik dramatize themselves as being very specific, let alone claim to be the "holy man". Sufi or true salik are those who are able to mask themselves and inner conditions they experienced in front of others.
If there salik who likes to show off to salik-anya then surely he is not yet a true salik. True Salik chose not popular in heaven on earth for the popular (majhul fil ard Ma'lum same fis').
Above the sky was still a lot of sky. A salik not be arrogant and assume others are low and dirty, or assume salik wrong in others.
In Q.S. al-Kahf, God rebuked Moses, the man is popular, and favor Khidhir, the ordinary man wrote. Therefore, we too must carefully read people, because God is Smart mask his lover in various mask appearance. Be careful!
