Basic sermon and face disagreement

The occurrence of differences in this life is an inevitable reality. Because there is not a single creature in this world that is created exactly. There must be a difference between the two, even this we understand to people who are born twin. The difference must have the potential to give birth to disputes, both large and small. Especially in people who have many differences, namely humans with their complexity when growing and developing. Therefore, disputes are a necessity.

However, the inevitability of disputes does not mean making us relaxed, relaxed, and not prevent. Even in Islam, disputes due to the difference should be pursued to be minimized and immediately resolved if it has happened. Allah ﷻ said about the command united,

And take care of all the rope of God, and don’t separate ۚ and remember God bless you, when you are an enemy, so blessed you with your heart, and you are the lip of fire, so I will save you from them ۗ tooَ

“And hold the rope of God, and do not divorce. (Surah Ali Imran: 103)

Allah linked the command of unity by remembering God’s blessings of that. This shows that the blessings of unity over the religion of God are great favors, while disputes, let alone divisions, are a test of misery. So, it is important for us to have the knowledge of the phenomenon of disputes and how to react.

Prioritize dialogue

One of the steps recommended when facing disputes and differences is to prioritize dialogue between related parties. Dialogue is the Prophet Manhaj ﷺ and the salafs when there is a dispute between them. Different opinions among them often occur, but are not silent without solutions and Gontok behind each other.

In the matter of differences in fiqh understanding, for example, companions are different in understanding of the Prophet’s words,

No one will pray for me except in the sons of Qurayyah

“There is no need for Asr Salat except in the village of Al -Qur’an.” (Hours. Bukhari no. 946 and Muslim no. 1770)

The friends not just silent, then let this difference just happen. Or one of the parties to follow the other opinions, but grumbling behind. However, they tried to dialogue and explain their understanding. Then trying to find his decision to the relevant authority, namely the Prophet ﷺ who was still alive.

Strengthen the argument and not insist with each other

The dialogue is not origin insistent, but has a strong argument. One of the parties who still stopped the Asr prayer, they said,

And some of them said: Conversely, we pray, and he doesn’t respond to that

“And some others say,” Instead we will pray (now), because of that (postponement of prayers) is not meant like that. “

Or in other nursing,

God’s messenger does not respond to us ﷺ

“Rasulullah ﷺ did not want us other than to leave (fascinated on the way), and he did not mean to postpone the prayer from his time.” (Interpretation of umdatut, 1: 566; By Ahmad Syakir)

Likewise when sadness included Umar when the Prophet died. In Umar’s emotional state and other friends, Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu ‘anhu continue to provide scientific and logical words and arguments,

He said: whereas after that, anyone who was worshiped by Muhammad; Because Muhammad was dead, and anyone who worshiped God; God is alive and does not die

“Abu Bakr said,”But not. Anyone of you who worshiped Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, So Muhammad really died. And anyone of you worshiping God, of course Allah is the Almighty and will not die. “Hours. Bukhari no. 4097)

Then Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu ‘anhu underlie the statement with verse,

And there is no Muhammad except for a messenger who has been given before him the messengers ۚ whether it is dead or killed or killed by God, and God will be valuedَ

“Muhammad is nothing more than a messenger, it has passed in front of several apostles. If he dies or is killed, you turn around (madness)? Anyone who turns away, then he cannot hurt God, and God will give gifts to those who are grateful.” (Surah Ali Imran: 144)

Look, how is the maturity of a smart Muslim and the leader of the believers after the prophets. When the condition is precarious, he can still argue calmly, firmly, on target, and touching. This is proven by the response of the friends represented by Umar Radhiyallahu ‘anhu, He felt as if he had never heard of the verse revealed to him.

Dialogue in large disputes

This is also done by friends when there is a dispute that causes war. Both parties sent their representatives to dialogue and find a solution. This is done when a shiffin dispute occurs, between Ali Radhiyallahu ‘anhu and Muawiyah Radhiyallahu ‘anhu. Both of them sent their intelligent representatives to decide on the problem.

Starting in Khawarij Gonjang which appeared in the time of Ali Radhiyallahu ‘anhu. At that time, the Khawarij will rebel. Then, with Brave, Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu ‘anhuma who have the authoritative capability and nature of submitting themselves to dialogue with them. Although Ali Radhiyallahu ‘anhu Disappeared, but he still allowed it. Then Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu ‘anhuma come to them in the best clothes and supplies answer Syubhat on their side.

Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu ‘anhuma And the other friends do not stand idly by slander and disputes. When there is turmoil, They do not just talk about it in a private or busy space in a public assembly without involving the cause. However, they prioritize dialogue, of course with the maturity of knowledge by their side. This main step produces a lot of goodness and prevents a lot of bad happening.

If only the friends were on their way to the children of Quraizha in quarrels and difficult time, they would not be able to complete the Prophet’s mission ﷺ. When the Prophet died, Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu ‘anhu joined in sadness and put forward his emotions, there may be checks that have no benefits with Umar Radhiyallahu ‘anhu Is dominated by sadness. If in the dispute over Ali and Muawiyah Radhiyallahu ‘anhum There is no proposal Arbitration, It is possible that the dispute drag on. And if Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu ‘anhuma not down to eradicate Syubhat Khawarij at that time, there might be a big fee among the Muslims.

This is a decoration that is meant to take lessons from him. Because there is a great wisdom from the spaciousness of the heart with a dialogue when disputing. Namely, the completion of the problem and preventing various wild assumptions obtained from the many sharing of thoughts with people who do not understand problems or are not wise.

May Allah ﷻ always give peace and unity among the Muslims above the sentence that is the rights and the rights of the religion of God ﷻ is strong.
