[Syarah Maratib Al 'Amal] 7. Making Islam a Guide for World Teachers

And the position of world professor by spreading the message of Islam throughout his country (And fighting them until there is no persecution and religion is completely for Allah) (Anfal: 39), (And Allah refuses except to perfect His light, even though the disbelievers do not like it) (Al-Taubah: 32)

These last four levels are mandatory for a united group and for each brother as a member of the group. How heavy the consequences they have to bear and how heavy their task is. People see it as fantasy and Muslim brothers see it as reality. We will never give up, and in God we have the greatest hope. (And Allah is victorious over His affairs, but most people do not know it.) (Yusuf: 21)

“And be a teacher/leader for the world by spreading the message of Islam to all corners of the earth, as Allah Ta’ala says: “And fight them until there is no more slander (polytheism and religious injustice), and all religion is for Allah alone” (QS. Al-Anfal: 39), and His words: “And Allah does not want anything except to perfect His light, even if the disbelievers hate it” (QS. At-Taubah: 32).

These last four levels must be carried out by the congregation as a united person, and are also mandatory for every Al Akh as part of the congregation. How severe the consequences and how great the tasks. People see it as just a fantasy, but Muslim brothers see it as reality. We will never give up, because we have the greatest hope in Allah. As He said: “And Allah is All-Powerful over His affairs, but most people do not know it” (QS. Yusuf: 21).”

Lecture/Explanation:

“World Professor”

Ustadziyatul ‘Alam- World Teachers’ Cornerstone

This term means “leading the world” or “being a teacher/guide to the world” under Islamic values. The concept is that Muslims not only manage their own domestic affairs, but also carry the message of Islam to all mankind.

This is not intended only as political domination, but rather as domination of values, morals and a system of life that is based on God’s revelation.

The basis of the Koran

Allah Ta’ala says:

And We did not send you but as a bearer of good news and a warning to people, but most people do not know this.

“And We did not send you except to all mankind as a bearer of good news and as a warner, but most people do not know.” (QS. As Saba: 28)

Meanwhile, in Al-Anfal: 39, “And fight them until there is no more slander (polytheism and injustice towards religion), and religion is all for Allah alone”

Affirming the obligation to fight those who obstruct the religion of Allah until there is no more “slander”, which some commentators interpret as shirk or religious oppressors.

Then At-Taubah: 32: “And Allah only wants to perfect His light, even though the disbelievers hate it.”

Confirming that even if unbelievers try to extinguish the light of Islam, Allah will definitely perfect (win) their religion. This gives confidence that the da’wah struggle has a guarantee of victory from Allah Ta’ala.

Congregational and Individual Obligations

Imam Al Banna emphasized that this mission is not only the responsibility of the organization (congregation) collectively, but also every individual Muslim who is part of the current of Islamic revival and movement.

Every individual, especially Islamic activists, has a role, either through contributions of knowledge, energy, wealth or moral support.

Reality and Human Views

Ordinary people may think that this dream is just a big dream that is difficult to realize, but for a believer who adheres to the promises of Allah Ta’ala, this is a reality that will definitely happen in the future.

The attitude taught is not to give up in fighting, because God’s promise to help His religion is a certainty.

And Allah is Almighty over His affairs, but most people do not know about it. (QS. Yusuf: 21)

This verse shows that Allah Ta’ala has complete power over all affairs, even if humans do not understand it. This instills a sense of optimism and trust in Allah Ta’ala in carrying out the great task of da’wah and world leadership.

Thus. Wallahu A’lam

Wa Shallallahu ‘ala Nabiyyina Muhammadin wa ‘Ala Aalihi wa Shahbihi wa Sallam
