Fall of Dream Pesantren (Move WRITE)
Diving into the Ocean Shaykh Abdus Salam
Ishoma has been implemented. All audiences are in their respective positions. Ammar and Icha are ready to enter the question and answer session. Halim who suddenly came without informing her brother, sat at the very back of the room hoping that he would get a question.
“Good, who wants to ask?” Jho as moderator opened a question and answer session.
The first and second questions can easily be answered by Ammar, now comes the last question.
Some audiences held hands. Presumably Jho is more interested in choosing a plain white shirt teenager who sits on the back bench.
“Please.”
Ammar and Icha are both shocked to see who asked, especially Icha himself because he did not know if his sister was present here.
Starting with greetings and introductions, Halim expressed his question, “Some of us must have known scholars who have world-level capacity in terms of Islamic understanding and comparative religion. What I ask, Are there still scholars who are recognized not only for the greatness of their religious knowledge, but also in the spotlight of the world for their exact scientific achievements?”
“That's a theme, but a good question. Thank you for brother Halim.”
“For brother Ammar, welcome to answer.” Pinta Jho's
“Good, the first example is Prof. Dr. Abdus Salam, a special person, the Nobel Prize winning scientist from Pakistan in 1979. As a scientist, he did not live in an ivory tower. Although he used to dwell in nuclear laboratories, he also often paid attention to the exploitation of the Third World by developed countries.
“In a very young age, ie 22 years, Prof. Salam holds a doctorate in theoretical physics with the title summa cumlaude at the University of Cambridge, as well as a Professor of physics at the University of Punjab, Lahore. Especially for math lessons he even achieved an average score of 10 at St.John’s College, Cambridge.”
“Until the end of his life, the best son of Pakistan got no less than 39 honoris causa doctorate. Among others from the University of Edinburgh in 1971, the University of Trieste in 1979, the University of Islamabad in 1979, and prestigious universities in Peru, India, Poland, Jordan, Venezuela, Turkey, the Philippines, China, among others, Sweden, Belgium and Russia. He is also an honorary member and member of the National Academy of Sciences of 35 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Salam is one of four Muslims to have won the Nobel Prize. The other three were Egyptian President Anwar Sadat (Peace Nobel 1978), Naguib Mahfoud (Literary Nobel 1988), Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (along with two of his Israeli counterparts, the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize).”
Ammar cleared his throat slightly, then continued the exposure
“We can see, he is a scientist who is recognized by the world because of his scientific lunge, not from other fields.”
“Is it finished or is there still an additional answer?” Jho asked.
Ammar had not yet opened his mouth, Icha immediately lunged with a new explanation.
“Salam was once called home by the Government of Pakistan. For eleven years since 1963 he has been an adviser to Pakistani President Ayub Khan specifically to handle the development of science and technology in his country.”
“Which is more impressive, Salam resigned from his position in the government when Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto rose to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Professor Salaam could not accept Ali Bhutto's treatment of the non-Muslim minority Law against the Ahmadiyya Community - the Islamic community in which he was born and raised. No grudge can give birth to the feelings of Hostility Salam in Pakistan.”
“Robert Walgate wrote in the book Ideals and Realities: Selected Essays of Abdus Salam that Prof. Abdus Salam is an expert who lives in two worlds. The figure is referred to as a poet and brained scientist. Walgate said that he was a special physicist who cared about fundamental problems. He is also a very easily touched person.
When Icha breathed a little while thinking for a moment for the next sentence, Ammar immediately tethered the gas to regain his momentum as a speaker.
“Islam for me is a very personal thing. Every human being needs agaama, as confirmed by Jung; this deepening sense of religion is the main impulse of mankind. I do not see any conflict between the science I pursue with the religion I live. I use most of the time to research things that are symmetrical and exist in the Quran”. The words of Ammar imitate the words of Prof. Abdus Salam's.
“It may have come from my Islamic background because that is how we look at the nature of God's creation, with ideas of beauty, with things that are symmetrical and in harmony with the Quran, he said, with no chaos and with order. The Quran places a lot of emphasis on natural law. So Islam played a big role in my view of science. We are trying to find out what God thinks. Of course we failed more than successful in research, but sometimes there is great satisfaction when looking at a little bit of truth”. Professor who died in 1996.
“Abdus Salam is a good Islamic ambassador. For example, in his Nobel Prize in Physics speech at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, Abdus Salam began with a basmalah speech. There he claimed that the research was based on the belief in the word tawhid. “I hope Unifying the Forces can give a scientific foundation to the belief in the existence of God Almighty,” said the author of 250 scientific papers particle physics that.
Ammar paused for a moment. He thinks which scientists are suitable to be presented to the seminar participants. He raised his face to get an idea.
“Another example is Shaykh Yusri Rusdi Sayyid Jabir, a great scholar descended from the Prophet of Sayyidina Hasan bin Ali and a world surgeon. Its ability is recognized by people east and west.”
Jho whispers to Ammar that time is up and the event must be closed immediately because the auditorium will be used for the next event.
Ammar nodded.
“Perhaps for explanation Shaykh Yusri can we browse further on some sites on the internet that tell his life.”
The audience was a bit disappointed, but they realized that time was up.
“Maybe that's two of the many Muslim scholars of the 20th century whose exact science is recognized by the world. Late 18th century.” Ammar completed his final paragraph. “Edward Gibbon wrote in his book The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire in chapter 15, that he adored the great monotheism of Islam and showed that Muslims deserve a place in world civilization. Therefore, we must be proud as a Muslim where Islam affects the change of the world to be all sophisticated.
“Without Jabir bin Hayyan, where chemistry might exist. Without Khwarizmi, there is no such thing as algebra. Without the University of Zaituniyya, maybe the system of lectures will be different. So, Islam is a pioneer, just how we respond. So-called.” Ammar closes with greetings.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, until Halim opened a round of applause followed by all seminar participants.
The prayer of the ceremony cafarotul was read together, the seminar participants slowly left the auditorium. There is also a prank asking for photos with Ammar. There are also those who ask for their phone number to be on guard if there is a problem. Red Icha cheeks are extinguished. He was a little jealous of Ammar's behavior.
