Among Thousand Journeys

What is called the nature of the devil?

The mother was concerned about the fate of her son, but unable to do anything, I only briefly arrived at the mother's house and returned home, because I don't think it's much of an interest to me to take care of people's domestic lives.

A few days later Suhandi called me

he said he was called by the police, because of the problem, but the afternoon had called again he said the brother of the person he owed the person had not collected the debt to him, and dropped the charges, he said it felt strange, he said, kok previously the Ahmadi was insistent, wanted to imprison him, but now it is no longer.

Meanwhile, Askan has been burning storm village people to be invited to protest so that the construction of the tower is thwarted, even though the construction of the tower is ongoing, and the construction of the foundation is being carried out, and the construction of the foundation is being carried out,

Askan made an invitation for people to be present in the mosque, so that they can be invited to thwart the construction of the tower, he said the tower belongs to Christians, should not stand behind the mosque, the law is illegal, the law is illegal, whereas in the affairs of the work of Muslims it is legitimate to trade with any religion, which should not be in the affairs of worship, every religion has a belief, a place of worship, and a way of worship

respectively, but if the matter of work then there is no law that prohibits a Muslim from working with other than Muslims.

Because in this world human life is plural, the Prophet himself once did trade with people who are not Islam, which is prohibited is to mix the way of worship and places of worship, as well as the practice of worship, and beliefs, and, if the matter of work, then anyone from how it works is right, then it can be invited to work together.

People in the dispute about the construction of the tower, also Askan has managed to divide the mosque management into two groups, one group, against if the tower stands, then the group will not set the mosque again, the mosque will not be set, also another group, threatening if the tower does not stand, then the group will not set foot in the mosque again, I just look, I think, I think, indeed Askan if including success if it becomes a devil that can divide the people, and I just laugh, because it knows very well what the end result, even though Askan is still actively demonizing me.

About the tower more and more crowded, actually the problem is that people want the tower to stand in their homes, or on their land, so they can get money from the construction of the tower, so that they can get money from the construction of the tower, ugly if the construction of the tower was not built on their land or built on other people's land and they are not part of the money, then they prefer the tower was not built, it was not built, so if they do not get money, it is better for anyone not to get money as well, ironically, it is so if the heart is overcome with envy, if the self is rich then legitimate, it is only right, if someone else is rich, they cannot.

Actually the envy of spite will only damage my own heart, if I reveal the bad envy in my opinion, then maybe people will say that I am doing defense of myself, he said, then I will quote some writings, as the back of what I write will not be accused of defending my existence.

What is called the nature of the devil?

“Wants the loss of the priesthood of another person/owner, both the enjoyment (of related) of religion and the world.” From the above understanding we can understand that envy is not only about worldly achievements, such as houses and vehicles, but also about achievements in the religious sphere, such as proselytizing.

This also means that spiteful diseases not only infect the public. The envy turned out to be able to spread and infect the categorized circles of knowledge, fighters, and da’i. A da’i or mubalig, for example, does not like to see the many followers da’i or other missionaries.

A person who follows to a certain group or jama’ah is very hateful to other groups or jama’ah who get victories. And there are many other forms of jealousy among the “fighters”.

“There will be no envy among the scholars. For what they are aiming for is ma’rifatullah (knowing Allah). Such a goal is like a vast, unbounded ocean. And what they seek is a position on the side of God. It is also an unlimited goal.

For the highest pleasure that is with God is the encounter with Him. And in that case there will be no pushing and jostling. Those who see God will not feel narrow with others who see Him. In fact, the more one sees the more favors they are.”

Iman Al-Ghazali continued, “Akan but, if the scholars, with their knowledge, want treasure and their authority must be jealous of each other. Because treasure is matter. If it is in someone's hand it must be missing from someone else's. And authority is the mastery of the heart. If one's heart glorifies a scholar it is certain that one does not glorify other scholars. It can be a cause of mutual envy.”

(Ihya-u ‘Ulumid-Din, Imam Al-Ghazali, juz III p. 191.)

So, in the context of struggle, spite can crawl the hearts of people who feel inferior, lose popularity/fame, lose influence, lose followers. The one who is hated is certainly the one he considers more in terms of authority, polularity, influence, and the number of followers.

It is impossible for someone to feel envious of a person whom he considers to be more “small” or weaker.

An Arabic proverb says, “Kullu

dzi ni’matin mahsuudun.” (Everyone who gets pleasure must be spiteful). The disease is very dangerous. But the danger is greater to threaten the spiteful than the person being insulted. Even reality proves, often the hated party actually benefited and got a lot of good.

Instead, the snorer becomes the loser.

Among the defeat of the enemy

is as follows. First, failure in the struggle. The behavior of the victim is often uncontrollable. He can get caught up in the act of defaming, discrediting and insulting the person he loves. In that way he imagined it would damage the image, credibility, and attractiveness of the people he loved and instead raise the image, good name, and credibility of his side.

But God's will is not so.

The Prophet said: From Jabir and Abu Ayyub al-Anshari, they said that the Prophet said, “No one insults a Muslim in the one place where he is desecrated and damaged by his honor, but Allah will humiliate the (insulting) man where he wants help- Him. And no one defends a Muslim where he is desecrated and disfigured of his honor, but Allah will defend that (defending) man where he desires His defense.” (H.R. Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Ath-Thabrani). The second, ********out of kindness.
