Raja Perancis suatu hari Sultan Sulaiman

mendengar bahwa di Perancis

masyarakatnya telah menciptakan tarian

mungkin anda pernah Menonton serial TV

yang berjudul abad kejayaan yang

sebelumnya berjudul King Sulaiman

[Musik]

hai hai

hai hai

di dalam film tersebut digambarkan masa

kejayaan Turki Usmani yang masa itu

terjadi pada masa kehilafan Sultan

Sulaiman al-qanuni tentu saja alur

cerita dalam film tersebut sudah tidak

sesuai dengan kehidupan sang khalifah

Sulaiman al-qanuni tentu saja kehadiran

serial King suleiman yang akhirnya sudah

berubah judul menjadi abad kejayaan

membuat sebagian masyarakat merasa geram

[Musik]

Hai ada beberapa alasan mengapa publik

mengecam serial ini protes dan hujatan

pun diterima oleh pihak stasiun televisi

yang menayangkan serial asal Turki

tersebut sampai pada akhirnya mereka

mengubah judul menjadi abad kejayaan

[Musik]

hai Salah satu alasan mengapa abad

kejayaan menuai protes adalah karena

serial ini dianggap sudah mengaburkan

sejarah penggambaran Sultan Sulaiman

sendiri sama sekali berbeda dengan

sosoknya di dunia nyata dimana dalam

serial film tersebut digambarkan bahwa

Sultan Sulaiman sibuk dengan urusan

wanita Padahal kita tahu jabatan

khalifah dalam Islam adalah bukan

jabatan yang biasa melainkan

representasi dari penerapan hukum Islam

itu sendiri

[Musik]

ini memang urusan wanita tidak lepas

dari kehidupan seorang Kholifah namun

pastinya Kholifah lebih sibuk dengan

urusan kenegaraan dalam hal ini adalah

mengurusi urusan umat Islam baik dalam

maupun luar negeri terlebih lagi dalam

catatan sejarah Turki Usmani Sultan

Sulaiman al-qanuni adalah yang paling

Gemilang dalam membawa Islam dalam

kejayaannya namun dengan penggambaran

beliau dalam film abad kejayaan tersebut

justru melecehkan sosok Kholifah Kita

paham bahwa Sultan Sulaiman adalah sosok

khalifah yang sangat disegani oleh kaum

muslim bahkan sosok khalifah yang

menjadi Ancaman bagi negeri-negeri Eropa

kala itu dan yang paling miris dalam

film tersebut adalah sarat dengan

mengumbar aurat tentu saja hal ini

semakin jelas motivasi pembuatan film

tersebut apakah mungkin seorang Kholifah

yang menerapkan hukum Islam akan seperti

itu di kehidupan sehari-harinya

ini Tentu saja sangat kontradiktif dalam

konteks Islam itu sendiri mengingat

dalam hal menutup aurat Islam sudah

menjelaskan secara detail pakaian yang

seperti apa yang sesuai dengan syariah

Islam Lebih detail lagi adalah ternyata

serial abad kejayaan dibuat berdasarkan

novel bukan berdasarkan kisah asli

sejarah novel tersebut berjudul kurang

sang sultan yang dibuat oleh Colin

falconer penulis Australia lahiran

Inggris tentu saja Kita paham bahwa

ketika sumber rujukan nya bukan dari

Islam maka yang akan dimunculkan adalah

sesuatu yang buruk dan tidak sesuai

fakta yang sebenarnya inilah yang

terjadi dan akan terus terjadi pada

sejarah umat Islam para pembenci Islam

akan membidik dari segala hal yang pada

intinya adalah menjauhkan umat Islam

dari Islam itu sendiri

[Musik]

nge-rap utama mereka adalah membuat umat

Islam tidak paham sejarahnya sendiri

dengan cara memanipulasi sejarah dengan

mengaburkan sejarah peradaban Islam

[Musik]

Kenapa Sultan Sulaiman al-qanuni

propaganda ini sengaja dilakukan karena

dendam kesumat bangsa Eropa terhadap

Sultan Sulaiman al-qanuni di mana kala

itu terjadi peperangan besar antara

Turki Usmani dengan hongaria yang

dibantu sekutu-sekutunya dalam

peperangan tersebut ternyata Pasukan

Islam yang dipimpin oleh Sultan Sulaiman

al-qanuni meraih kemenangan besar

ternyata kekalahan Pasukan gabungan

bangsa Eropa ini menggemparkan seluruh

penjuru Benua Eropa dan merupakan awal

dari perang perang penaklukan

kekhalifahan Utsmani di wilayah Eropa

hanya kurang dari dua jam seluruh

pasukan koalisi Kristen Eropa dapat

dihancurkan dengan menelan 50.000 korban

dipihak Eropa

akhirnya kemenangan menjadi milik

kehilafan Usmani barat senantiasa

menutupi ini selama beberapa dekade

kemudian memproduksi film-film tentang

King Sulaiman dengan segala distorsinya

mereka trauma kecewa dan akhirnya

melakukan perbuatan tercela dan Nista

film memang masih menjadi daya tarik

tersendiri terlebih kisah Romantika

Remaja yang tak pernah sepi dari peminat

karena sebelumnya pun banyak tayangan

yang menampilkan Sisi pergaulan bebas

lagi-lagi remaja sebagai generasi

penerus menjadi sasaran empuk

nilai-nilai yang akan disebarkan

khususnya kepada remaja akan lebih mudah

masuk dan inilah bahayanya jika

nilai-nilai tersebut justru nilai

kebebasan budaya barat dan bertentangan

dengan identitas sebagai seorang muslim

Hai Selain sebagai sarana propaganda

film di era sekarang menjadi ladang

bisnis bagi para pemilik modal maka tak

heran cerita filmnya pun akan

disesuaikan dengan minat para

penontonnya setali tiga uang budaya

barat masuk keuntungan material pun

menumpuk jika generasi ini terus

disuguhkan dengan berbagai tayangan yang

mengandung budaya barat dan bertentangan

dengan ajaran Islam lalu Bagaimana nasib

generasi ini patutkah mereka meniru itu

semua orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasrani

tidak akan senang kepada kamu hingga

kamu mengikuti agama mereka katakanlah

sesungguhnya petunjuk allah itulah

petunjuk yang benar dan Sesungguhnya

jika kamu mengikuti kemauan mereka

setelah pengetahuan datang kepadamu maka

Allah tidak lagi menjadi pelindung dan

penolong bagimu Quran surat al-baqarah
