Chanting, praying wirid after not practicing heresy

QUESTION:

Up to now I still can not answer off, promising practices, and chanting prayers wirid after time. A group of friends I say this practice is a heresy, he had not done. I see them a little prayer, after prayer, and continue to leave the place of worship. Every heresy is lost, all is lost will end up in hell. I hope the teacher can give confidence to me. - MISWAN MUHAMMAD, Setiawan Perak.

Answer:

Questions such as these have long existed among Muslims, including in Malaysia. In this testimony I will not talk about what is meant by heresy and not talking about sitting in a place of worship advantages, especially in the mosques, but I will discuss some of the logic, based on the evidence of the verses of the Qur'an and the hadiths to used as a guide, to prove whether an opinion as described by his friend was right or wrong.

The word 'remembrance' is from Arabic Zikr, zakara word noun, yazkuru. According to the language of memory means, or a reference. The term means in terms of speeches or reading the remembrance of Allah, blessings of His grace, as the Tahlil, which mentions lailahaillallah; glorification of Praise; tahmid is thank God, pray that Astaghfirullah; Prayer is mentioned Allahuakbar, or bless, to mention O Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad. Included in the practice of remembrance is termed as the Quran, Hadith reading books, attending school or halaqah science and so forth.

The practice of chanting is always done repeatedly, either a specific number, or generally in accordance with certain rules. In Islam, the best practice, including the practice of devotional chanting is done continuously, even slightly.

There are two methods of dhikr, zikr is performed by the tongue, which are termed `dhikr with the tongue ', and remembrance that is only made in the liver. Dhikr is done with the real, called Zikr jaliy, while the heart is called Zikr kahfiy. Most of the interpretation of dhikr is wirid state, but does not include practices wirid reading the Quran, halaqah science and as mentioned above.

In Surah Al-raf: 29, there is the word of God says: And call upon your Lord with humility and a soft voice. Allah loveth not transgressors. In a hadith from Abu Huraira, narrated by Imam Muslim, explained: That is not a race together in one house of God where they read the Book of Allah and studying and talking among themselves, but God will degrade over their sakinah, that inner peace, including their with mercy, they overshadow the angels, and Allah mentions them to those at his side.

Evidence from the Quranic verse above (Al-raf: 55) states that God told me that for every one to pray to Him with sincere humility. No matter where and when, or in the houses of Allah, the mosques, reading books, exchange ideas, remember, commemorate, Allah will grant sakinah taste, or calm the soul, in their hearts, as well as mercy. The angels are overshadowed them, and God is proud of what has been done by His servants who do so. He is proud of what has been done by his servant, and say good by to the slave of his being there at his side, the angel.

In a another hadith, narrated from Anas bin Malik said that Allah is he said, which means: There are no people who will gather, like remembrance of Allah azza wajalla. There is no purpose in doing so that they are apart for God, but menyerulah announcer from the heavens, you got, pardon for you, for your iniquities have been replaced by the advantages. - Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Ya'la, Al-Bazzar, and At-Tabrani.

This latter hadith stating that they are gathered, chanting to Allah will be forgiven their sins. The crime was they were doing was deleted replaced with advantages.

In surah Al-Ahzab: 41 found the word of God says: O you who believe, remember the name of Allah, and that many, and celebrate in the morning and evening. He who has mercy on you and his angels (who seek forgiveness for you), so that He may lead you out of darkness into the light. He is Merciful to the believers.

Asila is the word, in this verse is the time after the afternoon till dusk, while the word also means bukratan early morning, before the rising sun. More clearly stated that the time for the remembrance of God is meant to remember here is that after doing asar prayer, also after the dawn prayer.

According to Imam An-Nawasi, the best time for remembrance of the day was after the morning prayer. According to a hadith of Anas radiallahuanhu he said, the Prophet said: He who prayed the dawn prayer, when he sits remembering Allah until the sun rose, then two rak `, for which a reward of hajj and umrah perfect, perfect, perfect. - Hadith Hasan by At-Tirmidhi.

In a hadith narrated by At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasaiy, Umar bin turned out of his father, from his grandfather, who ditakhrij by At-Tabraniy radiallahuanha Umm Hani, that the Prophet had said to him, "O Umm Hani, when you are in the morning, there shall you celebrate one hundred times, Tahlil one hundred times, praised him as much as a hundred times, and mengagung-agungkannya one hundred times, indeed, is equal to one hundred beads camels, are you a charity of him, and with a hundred times it will not tahlil to live a sin, even before or afterwards. - Hadith An-Nasaiy and At-Tirmidhi.

Indeed, too much evidence, either from the verses of the Qur'an and hadith to say that the chanting, or wirid done after the prayer is not included in the heresies of deviant practices. The evidence is not fiction, but of God, the revelation of God is revealed as a revelation to the Prophet. While the sayings of the Prophet that he was not spoken by design, because he did not say or said, according to his desires or needs, but what he says it is a revelation to him.

Large reward

The practice of gathering, chanting, carrying the Koran, the hadiths advise each other, also commemorates the recall-after doing the prayer, as described in the previous hadith is expressed sakinah (peace) in their lives who are able to do so. He is proud of what has been done by his slave, and then call the good practice of His servants He had the angels who are with him. Allah as mentioned in the hadith above forgive those who do so. Crimes which they never did replace the benefits of the reward.

In the next hadith is also clear he asked for each person because the remembrance of Allah reward is too great, chanting at morning and evening, after the obligatory prayers. These are among the most suitable time for remembrance, not with menyedikitkan time at the mosque, feel proud, apply a little prayer to God, leaving the mosque or the place where he prayed.

Based on the above postulates is logical, whether the actions that can be categorized as described in the misleading practice of heresy, which they did so eventually included in the fire.

Berwirid practices, chanting after the obligatory prayers is a traditional practice in Malaysia, as well as in most Muslim countries. If there are people who think fast or group of people who uphold the practice of heresy, and it affects public opinion, then eventually people will break into the social structure that had been peaceful, chanting practice fragmented and disordered.

Too many and wide matters related to heresy and superstition that must be understood and diinsafi, not to hear some explanation of the fanatics that follow it past someone. Talk about science must be accepted with an open mind, not to instil confidence that a practice is actually included in the practice of heresy, and then want to discuss or talk about it without trying to listen to the outside of the professed faith or belief.

Differences of opinion among Muslims is a mercy, that in seeking the opinion of a steady, reliable and true for the practice. However, in practice, Muslim disunity in the cause of many minor problems Muslims are divided, but also may lead to the killing of them. It proved such a clear place in Islamic countries until now. This is where lies the weakness of Muslims. They have superior teaching, which can be thought good, but not able to practice, lead to the teachings of Islam that is just the theory alone.

Had berwirid, chanting, talking about the hadiths, the practice of commemorating each other, as well as reading the Quran after prayers five times the heretical, misguided and will be in hell, if there is one other practices in place, the better, the fair by Muslims after the prayer?

Does sitting in front of the television to watch wrestling, cartoon story is better than chanting or berwirid? It is feared that those who believe, reflect such practices as heretical, in addition to not doing practices that are considered heresy was finally not even prayed five times, did not read the Koran and so forth.

Some Muslims are stuck with the problems furuk, which is a source of disputes between Muslims, but Islam's enemies rejoice, wipe out the Muslims who are struggling in a weakened state after another. It is unfortunate when the elements of Islam that makes it cause conflict with each other, making it eventually became Muslims bubbles, weak scattered before dikeronyok crowd by the enemies of Islam.
