Themoderatemuslims.blogspot.co.id - His body was fairly fat, his face was round, his eyes and his nose was typical of Arab land, white round kopyah not loose from his head. But his eyes and style of speech medok Java part Solo, polite and friendly. That is Habib Syech bin Abdulkadir Assegaf.

He is Shohibu Assembly Ta'lim Dzikir and Shalawat Ahbaabul Musthofa, in Solo. Pengajiannya always full wherever located. On the ball field, full of ball field. In campus hall or pesantren, booming of campus or campus seaula. Thousands of dynamic people follow his shalawat and solemnly listen to his taushiyah.

Last week Habib Syech received NU Online contributor, Khoirudin and Faiz, received his residence in Solo, for 1.5 hours. Accompanied by tea and snacks, we talked warmly. In the middle of talking, occasionally he beating genjring and praying.

Bib, can you tell me the background of Majelis Ta'lim Dzikir and Shalawat Ahbaabul Musthofa?

We see the intermittent split. Establishment of Ahbaabul Mushtofa wants to unite people with shalawat. We pray to do what is described in the Qur'an and hadith. The virtue of Shalawat is for conditioning and serenity.

Who are the jama'ah who attend the assembly of Ahbaabul Musthofa?

Ahbaabul Musthofa has no special jama'ah. We are just a container. Jama'ahnya are all Muslims who love shalawat. Ahbaabul Musthofa is just a container to gather Ahlusunnah wal Jamaah. Those present from various pilgrims, such as Alhidayah, Jamuro, and from all elements of society. Usually present at least ten thousands of people in every event. If kutai pengajian in this house every night that is present 2.000-5000 people.

What is the meaning of Shalawat for Muslims?

At the beginning of every event I did not pray. I lecture without shalawat but after I see the result is less. Then we change the way by first beginning with shalawat, new lectures, advice and science lessons. That is because the human being present has a different mind, his mind is macem-macem. After they came to a place we entered with shalawat, with dhikrullah wa dikrurosulih.

Once their minds are cool we just advise. Ahbaabul Musthofa wearing a shalawat container because the shalawat is conditioning. Prophet Muhammad, the man whom we recite shalawat to Allah is a human being as an example of role model for the people.

How do we respond to people who do not like sholawat?

I'm sure everyone likes shalawat. So when there are people who do not like shalawat it's just because he has no place in the community. Finally he made a new act, he finally got the place. If people do not like shalawat, hate shalawat, meaning he is not the people of Prophet Muhammad SAW. It is the same as he does not observe Allah's command and sunna of the Prophet Muhammad.

What are the challenges of Muslims today?

Muslims we hope unite. Do not question the problem furu'iyyah (branch, red.). Our Islam began to be destroyed by non-Muslims by destroying the morals and morals of this nation. Then why are we still fussing the problem of tahlil and not tahlil, qunut and not qunut?

Let us unite how we strengthen this Islam with one another by studying what our parents have told us. Open again the Qur'an, open again sunna Rasul. Have a different opinion please, but we do not blame each other on furu'iyyah issues. Do not we feel ourselves better than others. Do not feel we are more righteous. Do not feel we are closest to heaven. Our nation needs to be united and we should not be divided by the party. The party and the organization are just one container. But this togetherness is what we need. We should not be more concerned with the party or organization than the Islam.

According to Habib, what good dakwah is like?

The da'wah system of kiai kiai and Walisongo I think is easiest and better, especially in Central Java. With art we enter. Shalawat we packed with art. That way more to the public. The term dadio banyu ning ojo kintir. Where we should go. With our parents we have to respect. With the young we must love. There are immoral people we do not abuse. Same devout people we must follow.

How to make the propagation work?

First we must be sincere. Second, know the character of the community to talk to. Third, preaching with speech, with behavior, with treasure. Continue to not eliminate the art in society since it does not cause forgetting to Allah and his rosary. Da'wah with sholawat in my opinion can be successful. Now almost all of Indonesia bersholawat. Not necessarily the person who is in good condition but we direct them and ourselves to be good. I have the ideals of Indonesia in piety. The whole earth is full of people berszhawat.

At the end of the assembly I sometimes bring Indonesia Raya to raise up this ummah to know the nation, to the country. Many people do not memorize Indonesia Raya. I want to raise ghiroh to the nation and so the people and the government know that every cleric in this country always coexist with the right government. (Tribunnews)
