Cileungsi, Bogor Regency, MINA – The Islamic preacher of the Al-Fatah Islamic Boarding School, Wahyudi KS said, quoting Sayyidina Ali bin Abi Tholib’s words, the truth is people who uphold the truth, even though there are not many.
“Truth is a group of the enforcers of truth, even if they are few. And that Firqah (is) a group of false experts (the enforcers of falsehood) even though there are many,” said Wahyudi in his speech themed “Beware of False Firqoh, Towards Khoiru Ummah” in Tabligh Akbar Jama’ah Muslimin (Hizbullah) at Al-Taqwa Mosque, Al Fatah Islamic Boarding School Cileungsi, Bogor Regency on Saturday.
He said, in this case Sayyidina Ali bin Abi Talib emphasized that the amount of truth does not need to be a lot, the principle is that Al Jamaah adheres to the truth, namely the Al-Quran and Sunnah. While firqah is an association of people who doing falsehood, even though the followers are many.
“Examples of firqah group are those who violate/contradict the Qur’an and Sunnah. In the MUI National Working Meeting, November 6, 2007, it was stated that their characteristics include disbelieve in Muslims outside their group, disbelieve in Prophet companions, radliyallahu ‘anhum, do not believe in As-Sunnah as a source of law after the Koran, believe all religions are true, equate Allah with creatures (makhluq/mujasimah), separates/splits Islam and Muslims and others,” said Wahyudi who is also a Lecturer at the Al-Fatah Islamic High School (STAI).
He explained that firqah literally means a human group, which may have a different understanding from other Muslims. The term firqah is commonly used to simplify groups, and even sects.
“Be khoiru ummah, as mentioned by Ibn Kathir, namely people who memorize and master the Qur’an, the pious, do good deeds and forbid evil,” he said.
The Tabligh Akbar on Saturday is part of Jama’ah Muslimin (Hizbullah)’s program 1443 H/2022 which was held on 13-17 Sha’ban 1443H/16-20 March 2022 AD with the big theme “Strengthening Brotherhood and the Economy of the Ummah Towards the Liberation of Al-Aqsa Through the Momentum of Ramadan”.
