Iman Kepada Allah: menurut al-Qurán dan hadits – Serial Aqidah Islam 1/ Dr. Umar Sulaiman al-Asyqar. Iman kepada Allah merupakan salah satu pilar utama rukun iman dan juga menjadi pijakan bagi seluruh jenis ritual ibadah lainnya. Ketaatan dan ibadah apapun tak akan diterima oleh Allah bila tidak dilandasi aqidah ini. Dalam buku ini, Dr. Umar al-Asyqar mendiskusikan pendapat-pendapat yang salah yang telah menyelinap masuk ke pemikiran umat islam tentang Allah dan sifat-sifat-Nya, beliau menjelaskan bahwa satu-satunya cara yang benar untuk memahami ayat-ayat Qur’an dan hadits yang berbicara tentang Allah dan sifat-sifat-Nya adalah cara yang digunakan oleh generasi pertama ummat ini (salaf). Dr. al-Asyqar juga membahas konsep-konsep pemikiran modern, seperti teori evolusi, dan membuktikan bahwa paham tersebut adalah salah. Beliau juga mengupas fenomena alam yang dengan jelas menunjukkan keberadaan dan keesaan pencipta yang Mahakuasa. This is the Indonesian translation of Belief in Allah: In the Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah (Islamic Creed Series Vol. 1). In this first of his eight-volume Islamic Creed Series, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar discusses the mistaken ideas that have crept into Muslim thinking concerning Allah and His attributes, and highlights the fact that the only correct way to understand the verses of the Qur’an and the hadiths which speak of Allah and His attributes is the way in which they were understood by the first generations of this Ummah (the ‘salaf’). Dr. al-Ashqar also examines modern concepts, such as the theory of evolution, and proves that they are wrong and false. Following the Qur’anic injunction to ponder the signs of Allah in the universe, he pays attention to the study of natural phenomena which clearly point to the existence and Oneness of the Almighty Creator. Thus Dr. al-Ashqar affirms the principle which lies as the heart of Islamic faith and practice, namely tawheed (the creed that there is none worthy of worship other than Allah), the Absolute Oneness of the Divine Through divine revelation and explicit examples led by the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him), we are reassured of Allah’s existence and glory. His attributes are clearly described in this book, giving you a better understanding of, and insha’Allah a stronger bond with, our Creator, as the power of tawheed acts as a vehicle in our mission to strengthen our personal relationship with Allah the Almighty. Allah’s characteristics are explained and referenced clearly in this book. Relevant discussions regarding philosophical proof found in the Qur’an and the Sunnah allow room to answer all questions and remove all doubts concerning this fundamental belief in God and the implications it has on how we live our lives. These basic precepts of religion remain true for all time and every generation.

This is the Indonesian translation of The World of the Jinn and Devils: In the Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah (Islamic Creed Series Vol. 3). Some people think that the issue of jinn, demons, and devils is one that should remain on the periphery of knowledge. They believe in going over this topic in the quickest of fashions and not giving it too much thought. They think that the benefits of such a study are very limited, and that being ignorant of this topic is not harmful at all. They say ‘seeing is believing’, but how often do we remind ourselves that what we can’t see still exists? Among Muslims, the important tenet of belief in jinn and devils is often forgotten. However, this is not an irrelevant matter. Humans today spend billions of dollars, with which they could develop countries and end poverty in the farthest reaches of the world, on research to discover whether there is any possibility of life on nearby planets. Scientists spend a great deal of their time and resources on this question. What about living beings that are known to exist right here with us on our earth? They live in our houses and they eat and drink with us. In fact, they affect our thoughts and our hearts and even drive us to destroy our own selves and to spill each other’s blood. No price can be put on the importance of the texts of the Qur’an and authentic hadiths that have reached us, giving us knowledge of this matter. Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar shows us how those texts uncover for us the secrets of these fellow-creatures: the world of the jinn. Adequate knowledge about their existence can help in our constant struggle to resist their influence. It will also help us in reaching the ultimate goal of creating the everlasting bond and closeness to Allah, the Beneficent, that we all seek.
