Fill Up the New Year with Say the Truth

Januari 9, 2008

Islam is very concern about honesty, saying the truth attitude, and commitment in our social life. Rasulullah saw said: “Qul al-haq walau kana murran”, which means “say the truth even if it’s bitter”.

This order has two meaning, inside and outside. The first is the outside means, became honest, say which the true in front of others’ behavior, in front of friends, family, or even in front of bad authority. This is termed as “jihad bil lisan” and of course need bravery or “Assaja’ah”.

The next, the other meaning is about inside ourselves, became honest about ourselves’ behavior and associated with ourselves personality. Honesty always need big bravery, because most of us feel unpleasant, hated to do, and bitter to say the truth especially with ourselves problematic. That’s why we can say if someone who’s brave to confess his own guilty and say the truth about his fouls is shows his big heart and noble deed.

The ability to take a look at ourselves is a stairs to develop our personality. The capability to introspections ourselves needs high taste of fairness inside our heart or “muhasabah an nafsi”. This fairness also make us could see and feel our weakness aspects and dare to confess it, say which the truth. But, as we pointing out before, it’s hard to introspect inside ourselves; it’s hard to say which the true especially associated with ourselves’ problems.

That’s all about saying which the true from our point of view. But, how about peoples point of view, friends, relatives, family, society, etc. it’s all about the risk, “the bitter” aspects. Sometimes if we say the truth, it will make conflicts or seem to be rudeness to the others. So, sometimes when we want to say which the true, we think about hurt somebody else even if it’s a true statement. We afraid it will hurt our friends, relatives, or family, and also afraid if they will change their opinion about us, or maybe we afraid if they will hate us, or break up the relations, and much more. This aspect if we think more, its look so hard to say which the true. That’s why mostly common reactions if we see something wrong or we do some fouls, we didn’t say the true, but remain silent because we afraid to loose our friends or relatives, or hurt them in what we saying or doing.

It also exists some one feel “it is not a license to say anything I want” and feel guilty most times when it’s became equivalent of rudeness. This probably because the combination of emotions or something else aspects. There are also some other people said if we say the truth and filled it up with bravery and sympathy to the others, will not be hurting at all. Perhaps, if peoples around us accept openly what we have to say even if it is hurts, and will also good to trying to correct the others, saying the true will become useful for all of us; saying the truth, with no rudeness.

So, with this New Year event, let’s try to be honest and speak up the truth, do the best for our life and all people, keep our faith on the right pattern. Insyaallah.

Keep objectives and peace.

Happy New Year 1429H.

Light of Muhammad

November 15, 2007

The knowledge about Nur Muhammad or the Light of Muhammad mostly known from Tasauf books, Sufism, metaphysics expert, or in the certain sect only. This idea said if the first beginning creation of the universe is begun from the Light of Muhammad which later or for the next, divided more into many other creation depend on the ulema says in certain sect.

Much other spreading knowledge associated or related with this idea the Light of Muhammad in this earth, there are Barelwi’s sect (which was judged as mislead sect/ lead their followers astray by mostly ulema) which even say if Muhammad wasn’t the ordinary human but his beginning creation is from the light (nur) which was taken from the light of Allah (the God). For this statement, they interpret the Holy Quran and Hadist as what they want without following the right pattern and rules (qaidah) as the “stand by knowledge” to support it, and also creates many fake Hadist.

There is also syia sect which make a concept of 5 branches from the Light of Muhammad (Muhammad the prophet, Ali bin Abi Thalib, Fatima, Hasan, Husain) which they said was created before earth and other creations.

Beside those two sects, there are some Sufism sect and Tasauf expert whose thought wrong also about the Light of Muhammad. But, if we seen carefully, they never use Hadist shahih (Hadist from best category) and the sanad not connected into the prophet as their basic opinion or idea about the Light of Muhammad.

Some other opinion or idea said if the Light of Muhammad divided or classified into 4 pieces or parts, those are: lauh al mahfudz (the mother of the book), qalam (pen), arsy (Throne), and the fourth divided again into another creations and more other classification endless. Basically, the idea or definition and classification of the Light of Muhammad like that weren’t written in Hadist, but only a claim of interpretation and wrong conclusion.

Some other sect also said if the Light of Muhammad descended or bring down generation to the next generation (one after another), starting from Adam to Hawa (Eve) then born Syith and for the next moving from a holy man to the next other holy man through the holy women, until get into Abdullah bin Abdul Muthalib and into Muhammad the prophet. There are also another thought which stating (make statement) if Allah was creating tree from nur with it’s 4 branches, and above that branches, Allah placing the white and beautiful nur looks like peacock, and so on, and so on.

Does its true????????

Of course it doesn’t true. Its wrong thought. WRONG, FALSE, NOT RIGHT!!!!

The first creation which was created by Allah according the Hadist from best category is qalam (pen) which was storied by Tirmidzi and Abu Daud from Ubadah bin Samit from Muhammad the prophet. “Actually the first thing which was created by Allah is qalam …”. Meanwhile, the Hadist which stating nur Muhammad as the first creation didn’t connected into Muhammad the prophet. Ibnu Taymiyyah and Ibnu Katsir said if all Hadist which stating like that (nur Muhammad as the first creation) are fake and artificially. This is right on ijma’ (the agreement/ share the same views) most all Hadist experts.

One of the most famous opinions about nur Muhammad is from Abdul Razak’s book (he is from syia Rafidha sect) which was judged by all Hadist experts that the hadists whom he used are not right, and most of the ulema said if he is a liar. Even, some ulema which from the same sect or from other sects who’s take the Hadist from him make many terms or qualification for his Hadist collections. But, the world is round, more freaks and weird some idea more famous and taken by people whose didn’t understood the pattern and the right qaidah.

From many idea or opinion which explains about nur Muhammad and stating that nur Muhammad created from God’s light, and then from nur Muhammad created all other creation, this is for the next features thought of wahdatul wujud or the joining of creation and the creator. They didn’t differ again between the Creator (Abid) and creations (ma’bud), between the eternity or eternal substance and the mortal. This sect was including all creation into creator’s part or scope. This for sure misleads or not true which in Christian also known the Trinity concept with the 3 fragment of the God.

Many ulema get ripped off or deceived with this thought in the past time or in this modern time which will lead their followers astray/mislead, and they thinks that this is the extraordinary or specialty from Muhammad the prophet. But for sure, the idea that said if Allah is nur was wrong because nur is Allah’s creation which can’t be taken from creator’s essence. Makhluq (creation) and Khaliq (Creator) are very different. About these, many example explaining if nur is creation inside the Holy Quran, such as:

Al An’am 1 & 122, An Nur 40, etc.

It is impossible if the Creator and creations from the same essence. Some people wrong in interpreting the Holy Quran without the true pattern or qaidah (can’t differs balagha, haven’t the right language science, didn’t understand the reason of the coming of ayat, etc), and in the end the get the false result and mislead. So, if there are any opinion which stating if all creation are from nur it’s wrong and opposite with ayat from the Holy Quran and Hadist which stating if human from dust/soil, angel from light (nur), and evil from fire, etc.

If they try to interpret the ayat: …min ruhii, some of the meanings are:

  1. Blows the souls (ruh) on the creation of Adam that wasn’t mean from the part of Allah’s ruh.
  2. Giving living hood (rizqi) from Allah’s ruh wasn’t mean take from some part of Allah.

So, if the interpreter understood the rules (qaidah) and “the standby knowledge” well, the result will be great and it’s mean through the right way or pattern, but what happen now is the people who didn’t understood the qaidah and the knowledge of interpretation, but interpreting the Holy Quran stuck on what they imagine and what they want, so they will through the wrong way and at last became “ikhtilaful juhala” until the next generation.

The jumhur ulema from many madzhab or sect didn’t questioning or have a deal in the statement that nur Muhammad is symbolic definition just like definition of light shining the dark, etc. The Holy Quran quote or mention that Muhammad as nur (light) which shows means with the holy book of Allah, he set out to lead humanity to “the light of truth” the message of Islam that he conveyed to the world, not like the definition which said if Muhammad from nur (light and even starting the creation of all creation, etc.

Beside that, accusation if nur Muhammad moving from a prophet to the other prophet uncut until Muhammad the prophet is wrong. Some other people even said if that holy light (nur) in a row influent the heredity from one holy man through holy women and for more they said if there is superiority on the genetic because of that holy light (nur). That’s all is clearly and absolutely wrong. This idea didn’t see the history and many ayat from the Holy Quran or Hadist from the best categories, because the real there are many prophets whose have bad and awful father, unbeliever to the God, and even idols maker like Ibrahim’s father, etc. So, the heredity of all human didn’t influent by the light, and there are also no superiority on genetic because that light.

There are also exist some people who said if there are no one of the prophets from Qabil genetic because of the Qabil’s sins kill his brother, Habil. This statement also crash with The Holy Quran: surah Ali Imron (The Family of Imran) 164: “…by sending them a messenger of their own…”, and At Taubah (Repentance) 128: “There hath come unto you a messenger, (one) of yourselves…”, and Al Mukminun (The Believers) 32: “and We sent among them a messenger of their own…”, and etc.

So, all tribe (ummah) mankind have their own prophet who’s sent by Allah to change their own people even from Qabil genealogy or from Habil, or the other Adam’s son genealogy. Because in all tribes always happen when some people make a mistakes and sins as unbeliever. The sinner could be from Qabil genealogy or Habil genealogy, there is no superiority genetic in this matter. All tribe get their own prophet (prophet from each ummah) continuing uncut until the time when Muhammad sent by Allah to all of human (for all tribes of mankind). Surah Saba’ 28: “and We have not sent thee (O Muhammad) but unto all mankind…”, and Al Anbiya (The Prophets) 107: “We sent thee not save as a mercy for all peoples”.

So, please don’t get into the sect which creates story about nur Muhammad where some of them in the past time or even in this modern time creating fake Hadist, or using the weak Hadist more powerful than Hadist from best category, or interpreting the Holy Quran and Hadist with no right pattern.

Because of that, some point which must take attentions on this matter are:

  1. The Hadist which connecting with nur Muhammad none of them from the best categories (shahih), but under the weak categories.
  2. Storied or Hadist about nur Muhammad as the first creation opposite with many Hadist which stating that arsy and qalam (pen) are the first creation.
  3. The human creation doesn’t from the light like angels but from dust/soil.
  4. The word nur (light) which was lean into nur Muhammad is symbolic means, just like to metaphor/figurative/symbolic the religion as the light, or the Holy Quran as the light, etc.
  5. No matter how much we love the prophet, we should never put him in a position that was not granted to him by Allah.

I hope this clarifies the matter and useful for all reader. Thank you for your attention and please thinks clear and objectively. Thanks.

Year Calculation

Oktober 9, 2007

  1. A solar year or called “Syamsiyah” in Arabic is a year calculation according one period time of earth to revolve around the sun or circles the sun one time. While a lunar year or called “Qamariyah” in Arabic is a year calculation by analyze the time for the moon to make 12 times circles the earth.
  2. The long of the month on solar year fixed according the exact rules except for February 28 days became 29 on long year calculation, so the problem is none. But, the months fixation on lunar year is sets through analyzes into the last month calculation (month before), it can be 29 days or sometimes became 30 days with the obligation to sets the new month in every month cycles by analyzing the end of the month before and starting again the new month by seeing the first visible crescent (in Arabic called “Hilal”).
  3. The day on the solar year calculation (A.D. and also the other same kind calculations) starts since 24.00 or 00.00 o’clock midnight, but for the lunar year calculation (Hijri and also the other same kind calculations starts the day from the sunset).
  4. On the solar year calculation found the date line called “the international date line”, sets up on 0 o line through Greenwich England and 180 o through Bering Strait between Asia and America, which separates as all countries between 0 o – 180 o faster the date than all countries between 180 o – 360 o. This international date line stay at place forever never get changed because the solar year calculation just take attention into 2 sky objects, the sun and the earth, and also as the international deal, the 180 o line sets up at Bering Strait because it is closely enough with earth’s 180 o longitude. While on lunar year calculation especially Hijri calendar there are differences date line called “the international Islamic date line” which always changes the place / moving / shifting every its new month. This condition happen because of this calendar system take attention into 3 sky objects, the earth, the moon, and the sun, make it more complex. If for a certain times the lunar date line close enough with the solar date line, there are big possibility to get a same new month in one day. But, sometimes when the solar date line and lunar date line located far away each other or located on the other side of the earth, not in the same position, that’s making some places on earth get its new moon late one day than the other side.
  5. Discussing the fixation of a new month on the lunar year especially Islamic Hijri for sure actually was fixed easily with latest astronomic technology to do some calculation (in Arabic called “hisab”) which was very good in accuracy and technically with no problem any more. What often blooming the problems is when sets the new month concerned with religion tradition (“ibadah”) of Ramadan and Syawwal, which because of many differences of thought (“khilafiyah”) between the experts and many Ulema about the way to fixing the new month and also interpretation above al-hadist which guides the followers to sets the new and the end of Ramadan by seeing the first visible crescent. Some of them use the “mathla’” theory, some use “wilayat-l-hukmy”, some use one visible crescent for all earth, and many others “khilafiyah” on it.
  6. Just like we all knew, the lunar year period is same with 12 time for the moon goes around the earth, and at the same time the earth rotating on its place point which is make day and night, and also earth goes around the sun resulting / providing dates on solar year period. Because of the moving and interaction from those 3 sky objects, sometimes moon reflecting sun’s light which made it looks as a new visible crescent and for the next became bigger until full moon and later smaller again then disappear for a few days and came back as a new visible crescent again to indicate the new month on the lunar year calendar. This term “first visible crescent” or “new moon” in Islam known as “Hilal” just like what God said in Q.S. Al Baqarah 189 which means: “They ask thee (O Muhammad), of new moon. Say: “They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. …”. So, on the lunar year calendar the point is the cycles of the month sets by to analyze the new moon or “Hilal” by mankind at their own place (according to the “mathla’”) which is we can say with another word, for the place which can’t see the “Hilal” can’t get into the new month yet, but must make estimation just like al-hadist from Bukhari-Muslim which mean: “Do fasting after you see the Hilal and Eid because you see the Hilal. If the sky covered by cloud, do estimation”. The interpretation of “covered by cloud” is if at that place we can’t see the Hilal because of cloud or with the early estimation predicted impossible to see the Hilal. While “do estimation” (“faqduruu lahu”) means completing the last month into 30 days or make astronomical calculation, these are the order and choices from the prophet. Beside that, inside Q.S. Yunus 5, Allah said which mean: “… and measured for moon stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning (time) …”. This is strengthening to sets the new month by moon stages measured or “manzilah-manzilah” which not same for every places on earth, and also sometimes make differences between one place with another places to sets up the new month in Hijri calendar.
  7. The conclusion is some location or places for sure was get into new month if from that location we can see the “Hilal” (still above the sun before sunset or just after sunset), and the location in the back which can’t see the Hilal, impossible to impose / to putting the new month system into effect following the location in front of its, but must waiting until that location seeing the Hilal came on that location for the next day (where as for the next day the Hilal was greater its wasn’t a problem because for that exact location / certain location definitely can’t see the Hilal on yesterday / invisible). This lunar date line sets up by “manzilah-manzilah” which seen from location when the moon and the sun goes down together, and this lunar date line wasn’t lay down / deployment north-south or east-west but tilt / not straight and curving following the sight toward moon’s position and moving / shifting every month.
  8. So, lets us (especially Moslems) to remain calm about the differences setting the new month on Hijri calendar positively and objectively. Don’t push another to accept our own way to do Syawwal together or blaming whose have other thoughts. I hope this article useful and we can keep our faith pure. Amiens.

These are just human interpretation, maybe right and maybe wrong, please think clearly and objectively. May God always keep our faith pure at the right side. Amiens.

Moslem’s Holy Places

Agustus 2, 2007

Moslems have 3 most holy places which is called call Haram Al-Shariif or in English (if I didn’t make mistakes) the Venerable Sanctuary. They are Mecca, Medina, and Al-Quds.

The first place is Makkah Al-Mukarramah (Mecca) as the hometown of Islam religion and the focal place of Moslems activity. The meaning of Haram for this place is forbid to do any sin activity, do anything bad to another people, and even kill animals and trees. This place also forbid for unbelievers because they trust with other God and will do tradition and cultures opposite with the order from the God. Allah was make this town haram (forbid for any sin and make it holy place) since the first time human created by Allah. All God’s messengers always protect this place (especially Kaba) from any bad human authorities. The Kaba’s structures and foundation was created thousands years ago before Muhammad era (This was analyzed by non Moslem also). Many kings from unbelievers try to damaging the structures, but always fail. When in some era bad things happened to the Kaba, soon after Allah will developing again the believers especially the inhabitants to rebuilt again the Kaba. The last devastation was the attacking of elephants debasements in 571M leads by Abrahah (I didn’t know what his name in English). All the member of these armies was dead thrown with stone by birds.

The second place is Madinah Al-Munawwarah (Medina) as the second hometown of Islam. Muhammad was lives and stay here as the prophets and the leader of Arab for 10 years. The meaning of Madinah (Medina) actually is City. This place at that time is the business city bigger than Mecca, and also the stopover / transit place for the traders who want to go to Syam area to make a business over there. This town became the holy place for Islam and get title Al-Munawwarah to describe with the visiting of Muhammad, the place get the most bright and lightening by Islam religion and became the most develop on Arab area.

And the third is Al-Quds (Jerusalem) with the main places are Al-Aqsa mosque and Al-Sakhra mosque. Al-Quds itself, in 638 came under Muslim control with the Caliph Umar bin Khattab. Soon after, for the community prayers built on that city a mosque called Al-Aqsa. Beside that, there is a rock which Muhammad takes of from that rock to makes a journey to the 7th sky to receive revelation and order about the rules of prays. So, the Moslem also built a mosque and a dome over that rock to honors the place and also as the kibla (direction when Moslem prays) before changes to Kaba (Mecca) direction. The rock also according to Jewish people is the place where Abraham offering Isaac to be sacrifice. At the era of the first Crusades, when Jerusalem fell to the Crusaders under Godfrey of Bouillon in 1099 they slaughtered many Muslim and Jewish residents, ruled with great cruelty, and destroy many mosques and synagogues, also the dome over the rock and take over Al-Aqsa mosque as a church. This condition happens until Saladin in 1187 captured the city again for the Muslims and for Jews (they are free to do their ritual religion). The Al-Aqsa mosque re-function again as a mosque, and later, after the Saladin era (I didn’t know the exactly year), the dome over the rock rebuilt and finishing by gold and called Al-Sakhra mosque (perhaps in Ottoman’s era). So, this place is Islam’s third holiest site, after Mecca and Medina.

Please corrects if you find the mistakes here. Thanks.

Muhammad and Khadija

Agustus 1, 2007


Since his young, Muhammad fills his days as a shepherd especially goat or sheep. He tends another people’s cattle and gets paid for his job. When he more grows up his age, more sheep and goat he tends, both his own and his uncle, or another people’s cattle which had been trusted and tended by him. This profession maybe is one kind of much identity from someone as a prophet candidate. Almost all prophets who are sent by God were stipulated as a sheep shepherd at his young age to prepare or to make ready when they became prophets. From Moses, Jacob, Jesus, and even Noah who’s taking care many kind animals.

Beside that job, in some certain time Muhammad also has another job, help his uncle Abu Thalib to do business sells some goods (their own goods or belongs to some other merchant) at market. Later, at the age of 12 years old offered by Abu Thalib to make a business trip into Syam region for the first time. With the result from tending cattle and make a business, Muhammad tries to make a living. This condition make Muhammad and his uncle life became better and better. The longer more grows up his age, Muhammad’s cattle quantity grows up also, and beside that more trusted by Mecca’s inhabitants in their business to trades their goods. At the age around 24 years old, Muhammad became one of the rich men in Mecca, from tending cattle and make a business, but still trusted by peoples. It proved that Muhammad is a reliable worker or trustworthy and also have big honesty heart. The climax, at age around 25 years old he trusted by a rich widow, a trader also, who’s name Khadija to help her sells some goods/stuff into Syam area. All her goods before, brought by her own staff. But, when she saw the successful and profit the other trader who’s trusted their stuff in Muhammad business make Khadija want to join with Muhammad group. In this business trip, Khadija didn’t follow but sends her trusted servant name Maisara to watch the business. Shortly, the business is successful with many profits which is made Khadija more surprise with Muhammad’s personality, and after few month later, Khadija send her family to ask Muhammad to marry her.

From the set of the story above, it is looks like that the reason of Khadija marry with Muhammad just because Muhammad was proved as a reliable worker in trading, famous, have big honesty, and successful. Does it just because of that short reason? The reason is too simple? Or there is some other reason? If we think objectively, the reason it doesn’t make sense or the story is too short. There are some other important reasons which un-discussed too much. So, some expert or historian try to opens and discuss some un-told part about this situation, the main reason why Khadija want to marry with Muhammad. There are one opinion which not much to be discussed by many peoples. This opinion said if the one possibility of what make Khadija want to marry with Muhammad is because she knew that inside Muhammad personality contain prophet identity, she knew that Muhammad is the chosen one, she knew if Muhammad is a prophet’s candidate, the new prophet chosen by God. How she knew about that? What the base of this opinion? And why Muhammad say yes to marry a widow 15 years older than his age? Why Muhammad accepts Khadija as a wife when he is at 25 years old and Khadija 40 years old, make 15 years old gap between them? Even more as a rich man, Muhammad on that marriage give 100 camels (or more) as a “mahar” which is as much as the price of one new and the best Mercedes Benz sedan price at this modern era.

Still about this marriage, the Khadija’s propose accepted by Muhammad because of some reason, good reasons, not because of wealth / property or beauty or something else worse just like what was accused by the people full of hatred into Muhammad. There are:

  1. Muhammad knew the Khadija’s families are from respected class with good ethics which is making sure that her family are weren’t from idol worshipper group and didn’t do bad habits like most of people on that era.
  2. Muhammad and Khadija have close family relation and their genealogy structures met at the 5th ancestors. Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muthalib bin Hasyim bin Abdu Manaf bin Qushai bin Kilab bin Murrah. And Khadija bint Khuwaylid bin Asad bin Abdul Uzza bin Qushai. From this condition, he knew that Khadija is come from good ancestors.
  3. Khadija even she is older than Muhammad and also a widow, but at the point of view or opinion of Mecca’s peoples she is famous with her good personality, have noble deed, good character, not including idol worshipper group, generous / big hearted lady, have good business, and big possibility her religion is nasrani (Christian Unitarian sects).

Those are some reason of Muhammad to accept Khadija as his wife. In the other side, Khadija herself has some other reason, which most important is she known if Muhammad is a prophet candidate chosen by God. Does it true she knew that Muhammad bring some prophet identities? How she knew that? Some histories give us clue about this. This opinion said, Khadija knew the prophet identity inside Muhammad years before they get married. Some reason and explanation about these are:

  1. Some of Khadija’s family especially the older man, aged persons, and family leader are priest or clergyman from “ahlu’l kitab” or Christian Unitarian Sects, expert on Torah and Bible and understood very much about the prophecy inside their holy books directly in the main language, Hebrew and Aramaic languages, as the ancient language of their holy books, not from the translation in their ordinary language (Arabic). These family members knew the prophecy about the new prophet.
  2. The other part of the story (un-enough to be discussed by historians), told that Khadija’s cousin (daughter of her uncle or aunt) almost get married with Abdullah, Muhammad’s father, but failed. To understanding and make conclusion about this detail, let us back to the past time before Muhammad born yet. Few years before 571M, when Khadija at 14-15 years old of her age, one of her uncle (ahlu’l kitab) saw some prophet identity on Abdullah personality. After make attentions for this person long enough, and look into in detail/check out with high confide in him, he think that person is the prophet which was promises by God. And soon after try to propose Abdullah for his daughter (perhaps she is in the same age or little older than Khadija). But God have another will, Abdullah met another woman whose name Aminah bint Wahab bin Abdu Manaf bin Zuhrah bin Kilab and finally marry her. Khadija’s uncle who’s loose out the plan/failed to connected between Abdullah and his daughter still waiting and informing the evidence or clue about the prophet identity on Abdullah to all family members and also heard by Khadija herself. But with the death of Abdullah in his young age after married with Aminah (even his son didn’t born yet). The “ahlu’l kitab” from this family still looking and searching just like what another ahlu’ kitab do, searching for the chosen one as the new prophet. Later, they found again the prophet identity inside Muhammad personality, son of Abdullah, and even clearer than his father. All this condition knew by Khadija also always following development of Muhammad’s life just like the other members. At that time, beside the Khadija’s family, many other “ahlu’l kitab” searching for that chosen one just like what their holy books promises. But, some of them who are believed with the prophecy didn’t want to let the prophet candidate stay alive. Many of them want to kill him because didn’t like if the chosen one didn’t come from their own tribe or nation. So, the good “ahlu’l kitab”, when saw prophet identity on a person personality, they will close and hidden the information to save the chosen one (and of course the chosen one will be saved by God). This reason strengthens by another priest name “Bukahira” who’s seeing the same thing with Muhammad. He met at Syam when Muhammad 12 years old, he believes also if Muhammad is the chosen one, the candidate of the new prophet, and because of that he advice his uncle, Abu Thalib, to get back to Mecca as soon as possible and take care Muhammad carefully and make him stay away from bad community.

Those are some most important reasons why Khadija want to marry Muhammad, beside of the reliable worker or trustworthy and also have big honesty heart of Muhammad personality, which is make her more loving him. So, after years later, when she was a widow, she tries to connecting again her family with Abdullah’s family. Now, she try to marry Muhammad son of Abdullah, just like what her uncle do for his daughter proposing Abdullah more than 25 years before. Also, she still believes with the messages from the family older man, if Muhammad is the prophet candidate. With this situation, the big believes of Khadija into Muhammad personality or the prophet identity it wasn’t after the revelation, but years before. That is why after Muhammad get the first revelation, Khadija directly face / go to his uncle Waraqah bin Naufal to tell him the situation about Muhammad get his first revelation. Her uncle, Waraqah, is a priest “ahlu’l kitab” just like many of his brothers, understood well about Torah and Bible directly from the ancient language Hebrew, not just from the translation in ordinary language (Arab), and he was blind as his old dizzies. When Khadija told the event / situation about Muhammad, he said that is true and validity of the prophet identity on Muhammad can’t be argued any more. This faith on her family makes Khadija as the first person who does believe with Muhammad as a prophet when much people say her husband was crazy. Even more, few days later after the first revelation, Khadija bring Muhammad to face Waraqah to seek some counseling or get some advice from him. At that moment, Waraqah advice Muhammad to be careful and also inform that someday he will be hunted to be killed by his close society / his surrounding or some group around him. Because that was the regulation from the God and that was what happens to all His prophets. From Moses, Jesus, and also Muhammad, all people whose bring God’s messages / God’s orders teaching, will be tortured or abused by their surrounding.

This is the writing about the reason why Khadija marry Muhammad, and that is why Khadija directly declare herself as a first Moslem without any doubt or confusion in early day of Muhammad’s life as prophet. Khadija is the most beloved wife /most favorite wife than the others.
