The celebration of Easter 2016 left a lasting impression, not only for Christians, but religious people in general. It happened because the highest spiritual leader of Catholicism, Pope Francis, perform unusual rituals. At Easter, the pope washed the feet of twelve migrants of whom are Muslim, Christian, and Hindu. Not just a wash, the pope even kiss the feet of the migrants.
These events are very touching. Moreover, it was done a few days after Brussels bomb attacks that killed 34 people and left hundreds of others opens to. When some quarters to use the terrorism issue to develop islamophobia, Pope it gives the message that terrorism is not bound by any religion in the world. Moreover, Islam, the teachings rahmatan lil'alamin, Mercy for all creatures.
Pope action in respect of other faiths should be an example for everyone, even for Muslims. The Muslims have a duty to wage jihad in the strict sense, ie, to provide security for the worlds. Moreover, Allah affirmed in the Quran, Islam's holy book, that the duty of man on earth is to be a caliph (Sura 2:30). The main task of a caliph is to strike a balance in all aspects of life.
From the origin of said, Islam means peace. In the name of Islam means to show the elements of peace. Recognition terrorists that they fight in Allah's way is the recognition that unfounded. Because the act of terrorist scare contradicts with the fundamental values of this religion. Therefore, as a devout Muslim, we have to show the true face of Islam. Abdurrahman Wahid, former Indonesia president said, 'We need a friendly Islam, not Islam angry'.
Rekindle the spirit of tolerance and love of followers of other religions are the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and his companions. This is shown by the Prophet on different occasions. For example, is about the ministry of the Prophet Muhammad on a Jew who is blind. Every day there are things that are never abandoned by the Prophet Muhammad, which is to go to the market and feeds the Jew blind. When feeding people, the Prophet often hear the curses of the Jew who vilify the Prophet Muhammad. Instead angry with the Jews, the Prophet was even more show friendliness and affection. When the Prophet Muhammad died, it was followed by Abu Bakr.
It was weird, the Jews said that a person who fed him this time is not the ordinary people fed. Companions Abu Bakr said yes and explained that commonly fed is Muhammad, a figure that has always been the Jew lashing material. Explanation Abu Bakr was made the Jewish heart was touched.
The story of the Prophet Muhammad services to the Jewish people has become an example undeniable that Islam teaches tolerance, even to people who hated him. Because, basically, like the embers of hatred. If hatred confronted with hatred, that happened just a flame that is extremely powerful. Were able to extinguish the fire of hate is named affection snow.
Terror events in Brussels and many other places is the fruit of hatred being maintained by some people. He will continue to grow if addressed with the hatred of others. As an agent of good Muslim, it is our obligation to put out the embers with the great teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace based the doctrine of love, mercy, and compassion.
The Prophet has pointed out, it's time we move! We ready to become agents of a good Muslim?
