INTRODUCTION By the end of February 632 and at the age of sixty-three, the Prophet Muhammad believed that his days on earth were coming to an end.2 He announced to his followers that he would lead the hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, himself that year.3 On March 3, the Prophet delivered his farewell sermon near Mount Arafat.4 Among the limited number of topics he chose to include in his last public speech, he encouraged his followers to deal justly with one another and treat women well. 5 In the modem era, the rights of women under Islamic law have come under heightened scrutiny. Some commentators find the Prophet's farewell speech to be inconsistent with the way women are treated in some areas of the Muslim world. In Saudi Arabia, for example, women may neither drive nor vote.

In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.

Literally, it means "hajj." Obviously, this name of the month indicates that the great annual worship of "hajj" is performed in this month, which gives it special significance. First Ten Days The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are among the most magnificent days in Islamic calendar. · “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days…..” (meaning of a part of Hadith given in Bukhaari) · “On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the first ten days of Zul-Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year and the Ibaadah (worship) of each of these nights is equal to the Ibaadah of Laylatul-Qadr. (meaning of a Hadith in Tirmidhi and Ibne-Maajah). · Sawm (fast) on the Day of Arafah (i.e. the 9th Zul-Hijjah). “…. It compensates for the (minor) sins of the past year and the coming year”.( meaning of a part of Hadith given in Muslim) · “Whoever stays awake & makes Ibaadah on the nights of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul- Adhaa, his heart will not die on the day when all the hearts will be dead”.

  • Illat in the Determination of Islamic Law in Indonesia
    Ulul Albab: Jurnal Studi dan Penelitian TheHukum Effect Islam of Masalikul ‘Illat in the Determination … 231 http://jurnal.unissula.ac.id/index.php/ua/index DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.30659/jua.v4i2.15605 The Effect of Masalikul 'Illat in the Determination of Islamic Law in Indonesia Dhiauddin Tanjung UIN Sumatera Utara Medan, Indonesia Jl. William Iskandar Ps. V, Medan Estate, Kec. Percut Sei Tuan, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara Email: [email protected] Abstrak Dalam penetapan hukum Islam, penentuan illat hukum memiliki peranan yang cukup signifikan. illat hukum adalah sesuatu yang dipahami dan dijadikan ulama sebagai dasar untuk menentukan dan menetapkan ada atau tidak adanya hukum. Karena itu, masalikul illat (metode pencarian dan penentuan illat hukum) harus dilakukan dengan baik dan maksimal. Dalam pemilihan masalikul illat Ulama memiliki cara pandang yang berbeda, sehingga memiliki pengaruh penetapan hukum Islam menjadi tidak sama. Puasa Arafah dan wuquf di Padang Arafah merupakan peristiwa yang sering dikaitkan dalam penetapan hukum syari’at puasa terutama pada zona wilyah yang jauh dari Mekah, karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu illat hukum dalam penetapan syari’at puasa Arafah, apakah keduanya memiliki keterkaitan yang sama. Penelitian ini menggunakan data yang bersumber yuridis normatif dan disesuaikan dengan zona mathla’ wilayah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penentuan masalikul illat hukum syari’at puasa ‘Arafah memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap penetapan dan pelaksanaan hukum puasa ‘Arafah di seluruh dunia (terutama wilayah yang jauh koordinatnya dari Mekah). Jika ‘illat hukum yang ditentukan adalah wuquf di padang ‘Arafah maka wilayah yang jauh dari Mekah sekalipun waktunya sudah malam maka syari’at puasa ‘Arafah telah berlaku, namun bila illat hukum yang ditentukan adalah tanggal 9 Zulhijjah, maka syari’at puasa ‘Arafah berlaku sesuai dengan penentuan waktu/tanggal di wilayah tersebut.

  • Fasting in Islam
    - 1 - Allah, the Exalted, has addressed all Muslim believers, saying: h3 ha(3) א/3fl uo à%0&א .ifl6fi fi]b^* א/hb#Uم ._h ifl6fi. *^ א/3fluo fl0 fi]fl^5- fi]o^Y/ àfi\½6!ن. O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. 1 In this verse the Creator states that He had enjoined fasting in some form upon the followers of earlier prophets. And He mentions the purpose behind it: "that you may become righteous ." So fasting is a means to attain righteousness, piety and consciousness of Allah (taqwā). Fasting is a form of worship that is neither action nor speech. The Arabic words "ṣaum" and "ṣiyām" literally mean abstention, as shown in the Qur'ānic verse where Maryam, the mother of Prophet ʽEesā, is told: ,h½0+f ½ fl3v! fl0 א/+v15ْ t0).א ,\4fl/àfi 4#1+5 78 u1 +_0½v^fl/ h.0à6 ^, Q^.fi) א/àbْم h:bfl;1+5. "And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention (ṣaum), so I will not speak today to [any] person.'" 2 In Islamic terminology, "fasting" means abstention from food, drink and marital intercourse from the break of dawn until sunset 3 with the specific intention of earning reward from Allah. While abstention might appear to be something negative, it is in fact positive in Islam, for it is done with the intention to obey Allah, come closer to Him and earn His approval and reward.

  • Muhammad's Farewell Sermon
    Muhammad's Farewell Sermon Delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah, 10 A.H. (632 C.E) in Mecca.* "O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. ALLAH has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn 'Abd'al Muttalib (Prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived... Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things. O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission.
