Buya Syafi’I Ma’arif
The Challenges that being face of Ummah now in the world is:
1. Stop thinking critically
2. Domestic problem that being brought in Islam as an unity
The grand concept of Islam as the mercy of all of creatures and the Khalifah in the world is never be digging out anymore. The true spirit of Ahmad Dahlan as a founding father of Muhammadiyah nowadays can not be implement in social life.
Islam as Rahmatan lil’alamin
We live in the rooted feudalism culture that makes us not confident and being pessimist on our nation’s destiny. We should knew the meaning of Islam as rahmatan lil’alamin to implemented it well, as we can see in Al-Baqoroh:143:
Ummatan Wasathan is a Rahmatan Lil’Alamin Mission. It is an honor for Muslims, because Allah has declared that this people are considered to be Ummatan Washatan (mid-race) or moderate ummah. They are people who are fair, people who are anti to all extremism attitudes and actions that exceed the limit, people who are able to make mid stance as an option to live in every line of thinking, ways of worship, and Muslims have proved that the content of the teachings contained in the Holy Quran has been a tremendous guideline to organize and pursue a better and a meaningful life. Apostle‟s hadits have been able to provide inspiration and guidance that can make this nation run steadily with its role in the world stage. Muslim becomes the most admired and respected beings within eight centuries. At that time, Muslims became “high priest” of the civilization who served fresh menu for human life. Islamic moderation has spawned a great civilization with a spectrum, astounding world. The rules of Islamic teachings that show moderation in the most beautiful format have made it very easy to be accepted by every layer of the human being.
The knowledge is not totally and purely the product of the human mind and experience but is also based on revealed truth. Knowledge continuously requires direction, supervision and confirmation from the revealed truth. This is so because the metaphysics of Islam is not only based upon reason and experience but also firmly grounded upon The Greatest Powerful God decision that being recite on Holy Qur’an.
The differences have caused the deviation by human in using science to their lives. One is, western advance in science that they have in the conduct of colonialism and imperialism. The impact is destroyed the whole community life, as such social, culture, politics educations, etc.
