Q & A

What is the definition of Sunnah in the context of Islamic teachings?

Sunnah refers to the practices, sayings, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It includes his words, actions, and tacit approvals, and is regarded as a source of guidance for Muslims alongside the Quran.

How is Sunnah defined in different fields of Islamic knowledge?

In Hadith studies, Sunnah refers to the actions, sayings, and approvals of the Prophet. In Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), it refers to actions that are encouraged or permissible, though not obligatory. In 'Usul al-Fiqh', it refers to established practices that Muslims are recommended to follow.

What is the concept of Tawhid and why is it central to Islamic faith?

Tawhid is the belief in the oneness of God. It is central to Islam because it establishes the foundation of all Islamic teachings. Belief in Tawhid means that God is unique, without partners, and the sole creator, sustainer, and ruler of the universe.

What is the difference between Iman Taqlid and Iman Aqli in Islamic belief?

Iman Taqlid refers to faith based on imitation, often relying on the teachings of others (such as a teacher or parent), without deep personal understanding. Iman Aqli is based on logical reasoning and personal conviction, which ensures that the faith is more than just a mimicry but rooted in personal knowledge.

What role does Jibril (Gabriel) play in Islam, and what is his role after the death of the Prophet Muhammad?

Jibril was the angel who delivered God's revelations to the prophets, including the Quran to Prophet Muhammad. After the Prophet’s death, Jibril no longer delivers revelations to humans, as prophecy has ended with Muhammad.

What is the difference between Musyarokah and Mudhorobah in Islamic finance?

Musyarokah is a partnership where both parties contribute capital and share in the profit and loss. Mudhorobah is a profit-sharing arrangement where one party provides the capital, and the other party manages the investment. Profits are shared according to an agreed ratio, while losses are borne by the capital provider.

How are Ibadah Mahdhah and Ibadah Ghair Mahdhah different?

Ibadah Mahdhah refers to specific, prescribed acts of worship such as prayer and fasting, which cannot be altered or added to. Ibadah Ghair Mahdhah refers to activities that are encouraged by Islam but are not specifically defined, such as charity or community service, which can vary in form depending on the cultural context.

What does the term 'husnudzon' mean in Islamic teachings?

Husnudzon means having a positive or charitable view of others, assuming the best intentions. It is encouraged in Islam to avoid suspicions and negative assumptions about others without evidence.

What is the significance of language in Islam and its relation to social responsibility?

Language plays a vital role in communication within Islamic communities. It is important to use language that fosters understanding and unity. Knowing different languages within a community is considered a social responsibility, and it helps bridge gaps between various groups.

How does the concept of Syukur (gratitude) manifest in daily life according to the lecture?

Syukur, or gratitude, in Islam is the acknowledgment and appreciation of God’s blessings by using those blessings in ways that please Him. It involves not just verbal thanks, but also ensuring that one’s actions and behavior align with the values and guidance provided by God.
