The leader of this pioneering effort Ahmad El Najjar, took the form of a savings bank based on profit sharing (profit sharing) in the town of Mit Ghamr in 1963. This experiment lasted until 1967, and then it was up 9 banks with a similar concept in Egypt.

Rasulullah SAW said: "Prayer is a person with more than collective prayers at home or in the market of twenty-five times. That is because when someone makrooh and improve wudhu'nya then go to the mosque with the sole purpose for prayer , then every time he set foot lifted up his position deleted one degree and a sin. And when he did pray, the angels always ask for her blessing as long as he's still in place as yet berhadats prayer, they asked: "O Allah pour out the safety of it, yes God pour out blessing for him. " And he has considered working on since the waiting prayer prayer time arrives. "(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Huraira RA, from the translation lafadz Bukhari).

Rasulullah SAW said: "No three peoples in a village or a valley that is not held there berjama'ah prayers, but rather obvious that they have been influenced by the devil. Therefore let you all get used to pray for the wolf collective pounce only goat isolated from the herd. " (Narrated by Abu Dawud with a hasan isnad from Abu Darda 'RA).

* Support the heart and the physical union, know each other and supporting each other. Prophet Muhammad used to facing such ma'mum finished praying and asking those who did not attend the prayer berjama'ah, the friends also used to just talk after the prayer before leaving home. Jabir bin Sumrah RA said: "Prophet Muhammad's start-up leaving at a time when Shubuh prayer when the sun rose. When the sun was up, then he stood up to go home. While in the mosque of people discussing the events that they do in the ignorance. Sometimes they laughed together and joined the Prophet smiled. " (Narrated by Muslim).

This habituation trained with the regulations comply with the relationship between priests and ma'mum, for example, may not match the priest let alone keep ahead of the perfection of the movement-row or rows to pray. Rasulullah SAW said: "The priest was held to follow, so do not be that thou wilt mistake it! If he takbirlah your interpretation then, if he ruku 'then you ruku'lah, when he said' sami'alLaahu Liman Hamida 'say' Allahumma rabbana lakal hamdu ', if he fell prostrate precisely then you. Even if he prays sitting down, sitting down shalatlah you too! " (Narrated by Muslim Bukhori, saheeh).

From Barra 'bin Azib said: "We pray with the Prophet Muhammad. So at a time when he read' sami'alLaahu Liman Hamida" none of us who dare to bend back before the Prophet laid his forehead on the floor. (Jama'ah)

Muharam

2009-11-25T21:04:00.001-08:00

Muharam is the first month of the Islamic year (Hijrah). Before the Prophet migrated from Mecca to Yathrib, the estimates are made to follow the year-month Masihi. Hijrah of the Prophet gave the impression of Islam as a missionary from the corner of the Prophet, and syiar ukhuwwah Islam itself.

In principle, Muharam bring mean 'unlawful' or 'dipantang', namely Allah forbids make war or bloodshed. However, this prohibition ditamatkan after the opening of Makkah (Al-Baqarah: 91). Since pemansuhan that Muslims should carry out daily tasks and worship without being bound by restrictions regarding another.

In one day of Muharram, known as the day of 'Ashura. People in the pre ignorance of Islam and the Jews today are glorified. This is because on this day Allah saved the Prophet Moses' peace be upon him from the pursuit of Pharaoh and his army. Grateful for the gift of Allah has given him, the Prophet Moses' peace be upon him finally to fast on this day. When this news reached our Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, through the Jews who lived in Medina, he said,
"I am more entitled to follow Moses from you (the Jews)".

That is because at the time of the Messenger of Allah be upon him wassalam reached Medina, he found the Medina Jews fasted on this day, so he conveyed his saying as above. Since then he ordered the Saw his people to fast, so be fast 'Ashura favorite among worship in Islam. And when it was not yet compulsory fasting of Ramadan.
Abdullah bin Abbas is radiyallahu 'anhu who told us this story as contained in the Sahih Bukhari No. 1900,
"When the Prophet came to Medina, he saw the Jews fasting on the day of 'Ashura. The Messenger of Allah be upon yours respectfully ask, "What day is it?". The Jews replied, "This is a good day, on this day Allah saved the Children of Israel from its enemies, then Moses' peace be upon him to fast on this day. The Prophet said, "I have more right to follow Moses from you (the Jews). So he fasted on that day and ordered his people to do ". Reported by Al-Bukhari

Jumhur scholars from the Salaf and Khalaf argues that the day of 'Ashura is the day-to-10 in the month of Muharram. Among them was Said bin Musayyib, Al-Hassan Al-Basri, Malik, Ahmad, Ishaq and others. And among contemporary scholars such as Ash-Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al'Uthaymeen vol. On this day Rasulullah SAW perform fasting during his lifetime 'Ashura. And about a year before his death, he said,
"If I was still there next year, I will fast on nine (Muharram)"

Eid al-Adha

2009-11-25T20:53:00.000-08:00

Eid al-Adha is the Islamic holiday. On this day commemorated the sacrifice of events, that is when the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who are willing to sacrifice his son Ishmael to God, to sacrifice his son Ismail, was replaced by him with the sheep.

On this holiday, Muslims gather in the morning and perform Eid prayers together on the field, such as when to celebrate Eid. After the prayer, slaughtering sacrifices made, to commemorate God's command to Prophet Ibrahim to slaughter a sheep instead of his son.

Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th month of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day falls exactly 70 days after the Idul Fitri celebration. This day and the days of fasting Tasyrik forbidden for Muslims.

This month is a historic month for Muslims. The reason, in this month the Muslims from various parts of the world perform the fifth pillar of Islam. Hajj is a religious ritual which teaches equality among equals. With it, Islam was a religion which knows no social status. Rich, poor, officials, people, black or white all wearing the same clothes. Along with doing the same activity that is Manasik pilgrimage.

On the day of Eid al-Adha, the Muslim community who are able are encouraged to slaughtering sacrificial animals. Basically, this sacrificial slaughter of animals contain two values of devotional rituals and social piety. Ritual piety means to sacrifice, we have carried out the orders of God which is transedental. Sacrifice is said to be social piety because besides being a religious ritual, the sacrifice also has a human dimension.

This form of human solidarity is clearly manifested in the distribution of sacrificial meat. Commands that can sacrifice for this to show that Islam is a religion of respect for the poor and the other dhu'afa. With disyari'atkannya sacrifice, the Moslems were trained to strengthen a sense of humanity, sharpening sensitivity to social problems, teach mutual love for others.

Although the time of slaughtering the sacrificial limited (10-13 Dhu al-Hijjah), but do not understand that Islam is limiting humanitarian solidarity. We must be able to grasp the essential meaning of the message text, not to understand the text literally. Therefore, the spirit to continue to 'sacrifice' we always perpetuate the post-Idul Adha.
