Looking at the Inner Condition: When We're Being in Higher Maqam

For religious people, whatever their religion, there are five conditions that need careful thought. First, when we have reached a higher station, the second, when we're having a big wish, thirdly, when we are being overwritten misfortune or disappointment, the fourth, when we've only done a great sin, and the fifth, when we were in the normal state.

What and how tips should be done if we experience one of the five conditions of the interior, would be described in five papers concatenated
Looking at the Inner Condition: When We're Being in Higher Maqam

• Not easy to achieve a higher station in seclusion, the search for God. Even if someone reaches the higher stations are often not permanent, why?
• How to maintain the maqam tips that has been achieved and continues to increase forever?
• How do I get Husnul khatimah?

Maqam is like a ladder that has several steps that must be passed by the seeker of God (Salik). From the first rung to the top of the stairs need a spiritual struggle and effort, and riyadhah mujahadah. Rungs (maqamat) is not the same in every person or every congregation. But in general-maqam maqam is among other things: Repentance, shabr, qana'ah, Wara ', syukr, resignation, pleasure, ma'rifah, Mahabbah. Three last maqam maqam is often regarded as the peak.

Jahada Mujahadah from the root word meaning to struggle and earnest. Seakar word with the word Jihad means to struggle physically, ijtihad struggle of reason, and mujahadah if it means struggling with mental. While the origin of the word radhyiya riyadhah means happy, willingly. Ridwan said Seakar words by means of satisfaction and pleasure. Mujahadah and riyadhah are two things which always become an integral part within a Sufi or Salik.

Riyadhah Mujahadah and could take the form of self-avoidance of minor sins (muru'ah), Amalia-Amaliah perform such routine Monday-Thursday fasting, fasting and other voluntary fast, leaving no voluntary prayers rawatib (qabliyah and ba'diyah ) and other voluntary prayers, zikr and wirid practice regularly, and reproduce social deeds with full sincerity, and leave the passions of anger and excessive love of the world.

When someone with a consistent lead mujahadah and then automatically riyadhah man climbed the rungs higher. Sooner or later than the spiritual journey hanyaoleh someone determined not quantity but also quality and riyadhah mujahadah it. There are people who managed to reach the second or third station but harder to ascend to the next station because the level of his riyadhah mujahadah and mediocre. There also continues to explode and not too long in the lower rungs. It all depends on the consistency (istiqamah) someone.

When someone crept up to leave its original position and then attempt to do so mujahadah and riyadhah concerned will give birth to a number of fundamental changes in himself, he had seen and felt by not only myself but also those concerned Laing, especially for families and those closest.

Usually people who have entered the Salik stairs seems many are addicted to it, even a kind of dependence, as if his life had been empty, without meaning. He just felt the real meaning of life. That's why the phenomenon appears to uzlah and religious odyssey from mosque to mosque, from one region to another, even from one country to another. They left the family, waive his routine work in the office, and replace old friends with new spiritual friends.

But not a few people were disappointed in the search. What is expected and imagined in their spiritual journey is different from the reality of life that happened, so they went back to his old world, probably far more to the rear setback. The two poles of "extreme" is caused by a lack of theoretical knowledge about the world of Sufis and Sufism. They immediately become practicing without ever obtaining introductions from an experienced spiritual teacher.

Fenomona spiritual life in the future tend to be more menyempal. This is caused by the expansion potential in the inner disappointments of modern life and the emergence of environmental groups waging a plus. As if the future is coming faster speeds beyond race prepared. As a result of multiple shock overwhelmed the people. Not only a cultural shock as he had imagined Alfin Toffler in his landmark, The Futur Shock.

Not only occurs in the Muslim community, but also the peoples of other religions. As if some institutions and formal institutions of religious life in society for so long felt worn followers. Thus occurs the distance between religious teachings and tendencies hearts and minds the way adherents. This phenomenon gave birth to a number of potential disappointment. That need to be careful, do not let that disappointment dilampiaskan to form in the radical activities, which seems to be trying to stem the flow of time. The rise of terrorism and anarchism activities themed around our religion may be an inherent part of this massive disappointment.

Clifford Geertz in his book Islam Obeserved ever reminding us that when the followers of religions that have started and it will be born is a shaky situation. This phenomenon, according to Geertz, will give birth to polarization in society that tend to confront each other. Will emerge a group of moderates and even liberals, which will accommodate and provide religious justification for the development of the modern world, by creating a modern motode methods, including contextual approach, or method of hermeneutics. The verses and hadiths engineered in such a way as to menjastifikasi will of the times.

This group seems to have resigned to the will of the times. Finally, as if the Quran and Hadith which are subject to modern times, buakan again the Qur'an and Hadith should guide the development of the age.

At the same time a radical group which would appear as if to deny the reality of life that is too foreign to them. They missed the ancient times who had created the Golden Age. They missed the prophetic situation (Prophetic system) to accommodate the tendency of religious emotion. They immediately rejected the idea of renewal by giving him various kinds of labels, such as secular, liberal, pluralism, modern ignorance, deislamisasi, the Zionist movement, Christianity, secular nationalists, westernization, and various other labels that could trigger the protection and religious emotions of people. Not to mention the attributes of biological and underwear equate themselves with community groups (Arabs) who diidealisirnya as an ideal community. Though, not necessarily to be an Arab to become the best Muslims. We can still be an Indonesian but picking up the perfect man, perfect man.

People who already know a particular maqam need to look at her inner state. There are two conditions as cheerfully as experienced people, things and maqam. It means conditions for a moment that happened to someone who is experiencing spiritual moddd, when someone is being swept away by a certain inner state, which is usually due to certain kejadiankejadian triggered in him, like he had just ridden disaster, while disappointed, was having urination and weight requirements, or just follow the zikr majlis which enthrall him.

This guy's inner feeling of roomy feel chest, tawadlu ', gratitude, resignation, pleasure, Mahabbah, even felt so close to God.

Social actions are also suddenly changed and as a person who is not himself. But this guy is still volatile, depending on his mood.

While the station condition experienced by a person because of permanent interior has been through a long search process and mujahadah riyadhah and consistent. Suasasana inner experiences not because triggered by specific events but have been through a spiritual training that is very long.

But not impossible things can become permanent when the people that understand the special tips. The role of the sheikh, Mursyid, or spiritual guide is necessary in terms of improving things a maqam. This is where the congregation serve to organize the pilgrims to perform riyadhah mujahadah and systematically.

System of each order varies, depending on the founder tarekat. Sheikh, Mursyid, and orders are big benefits for people who would be serious in the world with mysticism.

Modern Salik not necessarily have to make drastic changes from various aspects of life. A Salik inappropriate dramatizes himself as a very specific person, let alone claim to be the "holy man". Sufi Salik true or they are capable menyembuyikan inner self and the conditions they experienced in front of others.
If there Salik Salik who like showing off to the lo-Anya has not he a true Salik. Salik is not true for the popular vote for the popular earth in the sky (fis ma'lum majhul same fil ard ').

Above the sky was still a lot of sky. A Salik can not be arrogant and think people are low and dirty, or in others mistakenly think Salik.

In Q.S. al-Kahf, the Lord rebuked Prophet Moses, the human being popular, and favor Khidhir, the ordinary man aja. Therefore, we also have to be careful to read people, because God is the Smart menyembuyikan his lover in a variety of mask performance. Be careful!

People who like to blame other people still have to learn to sign. If you already have blamed himself meant being learned. If it no longer means never blaming other people have finished studying, because it was' arif.
