He lost his mother, aminah, when he was only 6 years old. He married khadijah when he was 25 years. He received the first revelation from Allah in 611 A.D. when he was 40 at that time the Arabic people were idol worshippers. For 25 years he preached the message of truth Muhammad invited the people to return to islam.


About the Prophet Muhammad - the Prophet Muhammad have the complete name of Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Hashim bin Abdul Mutthalib (born in Mecca, April 20, 570 - died in Medina, June 8, 632 at age 62 yr.) That someone prophets and apostles for Muslims. He started the spread of Islam to all mankind and to leave a single rule of Islam. Although non-Muslims are usually assumed Muhammad the founder of Islam, in the Muslim view, Muhammad both uphold the teachings of monotheism to the Oneness of God as brought prophets and apostles in the beginning from the time of Noah. Muslims mention Muhammad by greeting honor "sal-Allaahu 'Alayhi Wasallam" and accompanied by blessings on the Prophet every name Muhammad is played.
Prophet Muhammad was born in 570 in Mecca, Muhammad through his childhood as well as orphans; he grew up under the guidance of his uncle Abu Talib. Teenagers, Muhammad worked as well as merchants. He often retreated to a cave a hill until many nights to reflect and pray; narrated in the age of 40, Muhammad visited by the Angel Gabriel and received his first revelation from God. He mentioned dianya also as a messenger of God, like the prophets of God that has been sent at the beginning. Three years. after the first revelation, Muhammad began to preach in an open way, mentioning the oneness of God in the form of surrender through Islam as the true religion and leave god except Allah. Muhammad received revelations gradually until his death. Practices or deeds of Muhammad narrated in the hadith, referred to by Muslims as well as a source of Islamic law in unison Koran.

Simultaneously persecution always continue, Muhammad rectify some of his followers moved to Abyssinia, moments before starting the mission of Muhammad moved to Medina on th. 622. Moment move marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar Hijri calendar. In Medina, Muhammad made the tribes under the Charter of Medina. After eight years. survive the attacks tribes of Mecca, Muhammad brought together 10 000 Muslims to besiege Mecca. The attack did not obtain meaningful resistance as well as Muhammad replaces the city with little bloodshed. He destroyed the idols. At th. 632, partly bln. after returning to the completion of the Hajj Wada Medina, Muhammad fell ill and died. Muhammad left the Arabian Peninsula that have been fused into a single rule of Islam as well as some great already received Islam.
Muhammad pedigree of the 2nd parents back in Kilab bin Murrah bin Ka'b bin Lu'ay bin Ghalib bin Fihr (Quraish) bin Malik bin an-Nadr (Qais) Khuzaimah bin bin bin Kinanah Mudrikah (Amir) bin Ilyas bin Mudar bin Nizar bin Ma`ad bin Adnan. Adnan pedigree until approved by some scholars, was after Adnan ongoing inequality opinions. Adnan manner is generally believed that the descendants of Ishmael son of Abraham, after which the offspring of Sam son of Noah.
Though so, there are historians who make the pedigree further. Muhammad bin Ishak bin Yasar al-Madani, at one in history to say the pedigree to Adam. The pedigree is Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Mutthalib ibn Hashim ibn Abd Manaf ibn Qusai ibn Kilab bin Murrah bin Ka'b bin Luay bin Ghalib bin Fihr (Quraysh) bin Malik bin Nadr bin Kinanah bin Khuzayma bin Mudrikah bin Ilyas bin Mudar Bin Nizar bin Ma'ad bin Adnan bin Udad bin al-Muqawwam bin Nahur bin Tayrah bin Ya'rub bin Yasyjub bin Nabit bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin tarih (Azar) bin Nahur bin Saru 'bin Ra'u bin Falikh bin Aybir Arfakhsyad bin bin bin Syalikh Sam, the son of Noah, the son Lamikh bin Mutusyalikh bin Akhnukh bin Yarda bin Mahlil bin Qinan bin Yanish bin Syits son of Adam.

My Lord God, from whom and Compulsory Everything Worship him to do

My Lord God, from whom and Compulsory Everything Worship him to do
My Lord God from whom and Compulsory Everything Worship him to do
 In the concept of Islam, God is called Allah and believed to be the Real Substance of the Most High and Almighty, My Lord God, from whom and Compulsory Everything Worship him to do Creator of the Most Powerful and All-Knowing, the Eternal, Determinants of Fate, and Judge for the universe. Islam emphasizes the conceptualization of My Lord God as the One and Almighty (tawhid). He was single and Esa (Munday), Merciful and Almighty. According to the Koran there are 99 names of Allah (Beautiful Names and Attributes meaning: "the names of the most good") that reminds each of God's attributes are different. All these names refer to Allah, the name of the Lord Most High and Most area. Among the 99 names of Allah, the most famous and most frequently used is the "Merciful" (ar-rahman) and "Merciful" (ar-rahim).

My Lord God, from whom and Compulsory Everything Worship him to do

My Lord God, Creation and control of the universe is described as an act of generosity that is most important for all of creation who praise his glory and bears witness to keesan Him and His power. According to Islam, God appeared anywhere without having incarnated in any form. Al-Quran explains, "He can not be achieved by eye sight, while he can see everything that is invisible; and He is the Subtle, the Aware. " (Al-'An'am 6: 103).
My Lord God in Islam is not only the Almighty and the Almighty, but also a personal God: According to the Quran, He is closer to man than human veins. She responded to that need and request assistance if they pray to Him. On top of it all, he guides the man on the straight path, "which approves his way."
Islam teaches that God in Islam the concept is the same God worshiped by other Abrahamic religious groups such as Christians and Jews. However My Lord God, this is not universally accepted by the two religions.
Several theories try to analyze the etymology of the word "Allah". My Lord God One of them said that the word Allah is derived from the combination of the words al (the) and'ilāh (god) that means "the Lord". But this theory violates the rules of language and Arabic. Ma'rifat form of god is al-god, not God. Thus the word al-god is known in Arabic. The use of the word is for example by Abul A'la al-Mawdudi in Mushthalahatul Arba'ah fil Quran and Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Hamad Syaibah Adyan Furuq wal wal Dzahibul Mu'ashirah.
My Lord God, The authors instead of using the word of God, but al-ilah as ma'rifat form of god. In Arabic it is also known the rules, every isim (noun or adjective) nakiroh (general) that has the shape mutsanna (two) and the plural, the word rose has isim ma'rifat mutsanna and plural forms. This does not apply to the word of God, this word does not have ma'rifat mutsanna and plural forms. While the gods said to have a good ma'rifat mutsanna (ie al-ilahani or al-ilahaini) and plural (ie al-alihah). Thus the word al-god and God are two different words.
Another theory says the word is derived from the Aramaic word Alaha. My Lord God, Muslim scholars sometimes translate God became "God" in English. However, others say that God is not to be translated, arguing that the word special and great that must be maintained, does not have a plural and gender (in contrast to God who has plural Gods and Goddess feminine form in English). This issue becomes important in the effort of translation of the Qur'an.
God is the lord of the universe. He is the creator of the universe. He creates the world for us and also creates us in the best form. In Arabic, god is called allah. Allah is the proper name for the one and only god. Therefore, god is one and almighty. There is no one like him and he has no partner, children or parents. He is eternal and knows everything, god is great as well as merciful. He is kind, loving and provides us us with everything. God sent prophets to guide us, from adam, the first prophet, to Muhammad, the last prophet. The prophets told us how to thank god ano obey Him. They also taught us how to live like good human beings, be happy and successful. Therefore we have to believe in god, thank him and obey him.

Allah Knows Everything, Keep It and Believe Will We Know It


Allah Knows Everything, Keep It and Believe Will We Know It
Allah Knows Everything, Keep It and Believe Will We Know It
Islam's view regarding the ability of God clearly summarized in the book written by Imam Al-Tahawi. He wrote, "God is omnipotent. All creatures depend on Him, and every case is easy for him." Mr. Abdullah had three sons, the oldest was ali the second was ahmad and the youngest was hasan. Allah Knows Everything, Keep It and Believe Will We Know It. He loved his sons very much and he wanted them to be good muslims when they grew up. As a father, mr. Abdullah was a good muslim so that his sons could regard him as their model.

Allah Knows Everything, Keep It and Believe Will We Know It 


Allah Knows Everything, One day Mr. Abdullah tested his sons to know their belief in god. He gave his sons some cake and asked them to eat it in a place where no one could see them. Ali took the cake and he went to his room. He shut the door and ate the cake. He thought that no one could see him. Ahmad went to a cave near his house. It was dark in the cave. He was sure that nobody was there who could see him. He ate the cake in the darkness of the cave. Hasan thought and thought about finding a place where nobody could see him. He thought that there was no such place. He remembered that allah could always see him. So he did not eat the cake.
Ali and ahmad came back to their father and told him about what they did. Allah Knows Everything, Hasan came back and returned the cake to his father and said that there was no place which was secret from allah. Mr. Abdullah was very pleased with hasan and told his two sons to learn a lesson from their brother, hasan. He said that allah knew everything, saw everything and was with them all the time. So it was said, they should not do anything bad even in secret.
But sometimes some people are atheists ask about the capabilities and power of God. The question they ask is: "If God is omnipotent, then can He create a rock that can not be appointed by him?" or "Can God lie?" The key point in answering this question is to underline the word "Almighty" which is often misinterpreted to be a "can do everything." Actually Almighty has meaning the ability to hold each case, rather than the ability to do everything even if it does not make sense. So when someone asks: "Can God create a stone that can not be lifted Him", it actually describes something that is impossible and meaningless, just like when we try to say "a white crow black" or "a triangular-shaped squares "or even" warm sweet iced tea is not made of sugar. "

Such statements do not explain anything and does not have the value of information, they do not have meaning. So why do we have to ask the question that has no meaning? Simply put, it's all not a question.
Furthermore, because Allah Almighty meant he could always do what He wills, as described Imam Al-Tahawi above "and each an easy matter for him." With so Almighty also means that God can not do failure. So also because one of the attributes of Allah is Al-Haqq, which means the Right, then He could not lie. But most atheists just said: Because God is omnipotent, He can do anything, including commit failures and lie! It is highly implausible and absurd as this is tantamount to saying: "Allah Almighty and All-True is not omnipotent and All Right!".

Therefore, said Maha basically can not stand alone. She status trait that must be followed other words to be understood its meaning. All Name is Good and all of God's beautiful nature. This principle is emphasized by Allah in the Koran. When God introduced Himself in the Qur'an, Allah mentions various names and properties of His wonderful. Such as ar-Rahman ar-Rahim al-Hayyu, al-Qayyum, al-Mannan, ar-Razzaq, and others.

Even God insists, only his beautiful names it.


In conclusion, God can create a stone that weighs not measurable, but he was always able to lift it, and God always says in truth and could not lie. So we need to understand is that failure and lying is not the aspect of the nature of Almighty God.

ISLAMIC EDUCATION BY M. NATSIR

ISLAMIC EDUCATION BY M. NATSIR
ISLAMIC EDUCATION BY M. NATSIR

Mohammad Natsir is great. He was a great politician, intellectually brilliant, charismatic scholars, preachers perfect, great fighters and many other titles that can be pinned to him. One of the "face" is quite prominent Natsir, in addition to some "face" on this, is Natsir as a thinker and practitioner education. In the field of education, and thinking in the footsteps Natsir looks very real. Both of his writings, struggles, and legacy-legacy of the institution.
Biography Mohammad Natir come from the Land of Minang. He was born on July 17, 1908, in Long Alahan, Gumanti Valley, Solok regency, West Sumatra. Her parents are partners Sutan Saripado Idris and Khadija. After getting married Natsir got the title of "Datuk Sinaro Long".
The concept of Education Mohammad Natsir According to Mohammad Natsir, were essentially Tarbiyah religion or religious education taught by God to His servants. One of nature is the Supreme Lord in any means or Maha Set Educating the universe. These words, according Natsir tarbiyah covers the issues and ukhrawi worldly, spiritual and physical, intellectual and ethical character, formal and non-formal, and directed against themselves, their families and communities. Because Tarbiyah is a process that never stopped the study, educate and get education is the duty of all ages.
About the urgency of this education Natsir also writes: Advance or retreat of one, depending largely to the lessons and education that apply in their circles. There is not a backward nation to advance, but after holding and improving children's education and their youth.
As for the notion of education, Natsir explained: The so-called education is a physical and spiritual leadership that leads to perfection and complete human nature with a real sense. Educational Objectives according Natsir, the purpose of education is equal to the purpose of life. The purpose of life is thought to be the servant of God. Regarding this became a servant of God Natsir explains: "To worship God is to complete all the obedience and submission to the divine command, which led to the greatness of the world and the next victory, and keep away from all the restrictions that hinder the achievement meghalang world and the next victory was".
Character of Islamic Education According to Mohammad Natsir, education should be given to students is that education has an integral and universal nature. Universal means that education is not associated with the West or East. Because the West and East Natsir are the same, both creatures of God who are new (huduts). While education is an integral means do not recognize the separation between the physical and spiritual, as well as world and the hereafter. Islamic education so that it led to the happiness of a person in thrall to God Almighty and in order to build on a better tomorrow, in the world and the Hereafter.
So the education system is universal, integral and harmonious is no longer recognize the dichotomy between general education and religion. All religions basically, whatever the field and entered the discipline. The excess Natsir in the face of such circumstances is that he was familiar with both sides facing the education prakik Ummah at that time. As a child he was familiar with the educational model in the form of pesantren education in Surau. At the same time Natsir also familiar with the Dutch-style education system because he was Dutch school. Likewise when Natsir adulthood. With the AMS school, he became very familiar with the Dutch educational system. While at the same time, with the Koran to the A. Hassan Natsir become more familiar with the Islamic education system ala Islamic School. Such a background that makes Natsir understand that the two models of education. So then education idea. Even then Natsir tried to apply that idea in Pendis and Pesantren Persis.
About Educators Mohammad Natsir is concerned educators. According to the children is the mandate given by God Almighty to parents. The task is to educate the child's parents, because as explained in one Prophet haditsnya, every child is born in a state of nature (sacred). And orantuanyalah determine what will be his son's future, yahudikah, nasranikah or majusikah. Then Natsir that the obligation to educate children not only its obligatory duties' ain for every parent, but also obligatory for the party of kifayah Muslims are [32]. It means, "The Muslims must hold from among us, too, a group that will educate our children, so that educated the children were not given to those who are not congenial, not sedasar, not faith and religion is not with us"
Closing It was clear that the concept of education is held and obliged to Mohammad Natsir from the beginning until the end of his life seemed consistent. This, like Mochtar Naim written because in explaining the concepts of education, always refer to the primary reference source, namely al-Qur `an and al-Hadith [34].
Also Mohammad Natsir also look very consistent to build and education. This is because the principles that have been held since he was young, that education is a very important issue to advance the public. No wonder the results Mohammad Natsir efforts in education that, until now still feels the benefits to the community and Indonesian Muslims.
