For Muslims Who Wish To Believe In The Quran, Allah and the Rasul

• dan janganlah engkau hiraukan celaan / cacian mereka serta berserahlah kepada Allah
• disregard their insults, and put your trust in Allah

 

 

To all my Muslim readers : here are some general questions.

1. Do you believe in the Quran? If your answer is yes then you should obey the Quran. What is the point of paying lip service that you believe in the Quran but you dont obey the Quran?

 2. Do you believe that the Quran comes from Allah swt? If your answer is yes then isnt obeying the Quran also obeying Allah? Is anyone confused about this?

3. Do you believe that the Quran was sent to us through a Rasul, a Messenger  who spent his life teaching us the Quran? If your answer is yes then isnt your obedience to the Quran also an obedience to the Rasul? Is anyone confused about this concept also?

So when Allah, the Rasul and the Quran tell us so clearly:

Surah 2:2 This is the Book; there is no doubt in it; it is a guidance for the righteous

Sura 6:114   Shall I seek for a judge other than ALLAH, when HE it is WHO has sent down to you the Book fully explained ? And those to whom WE gave the Book know that it has been sent down from thy Lord with truth; so be thou not of those who doubt..

what should your reactions be as Muslims? Will you still be among those who doubt the Quran?  

Here are just three more verses from the Quran for your note. As Muslims you should believe these verses because they were  taught by Allah swt to the Rasul who taught them to us.  

Remember obedience to the Quran is obeying the Rasul which is obeying Allah swt. 

Here is the first verse:

 

 

 

[33:48] Do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites, disregard their insults, and put your trust in Allah; Allah suffices as an advocate. 

[33:48]  Dan janganlah engkau menurut kehendak orang-orang kafir dan orang-orang munafik dan janganlah engkau hiraukan celaan / cacian mereka, serta berserahlah kepada Allah; dan cukuplah Allah menjadi Pelindung.

The second verse :

[3:186] You will certainly be tested, through your money and your lives, and you will hear from those who received the scripture, and from the idol worshipers, a lot of insult. If you steadfastly persevere and lead a righteous life, this will prove the strength of your faith. 

[3: 186]  Demi sesungguhnya, kamu akan diuji pada harta benda dan diri kamu. Dan demi sesungguhnya, kamu akan mendengar dari orang-orang yang telah diberikan Kitab dahulu daripada kamu dan orang-orang yang musyrik: banyak cacian yang menyakitkan hati. Jika kamu bersabar dan bertaqwa maka sesungguhnya yang demikian itu adalah dari perkara-perkara yang dikehendaki (kamu) melakukannya. 

 

And the last verse :

Surah 3:111 (partial)

[3:111] They can never harm you, beyond insulting you . .

[3:111] Mereka tidak sekali-kali akan membahayakan kamu, selain mencaci (yang menyakiti hati). . .

 

 

Conclusion :

 

Allah swt, the Rasul and the Quran have taught us :

• dan janganlah engkau hiraukan celaan / cacian mereka serta berserahlah kepada Allah
• disregard their insults, and put your trust in Allah

 

So how? Can you obey this? 

Or will it be just lip service?
