CONTEMPLATION AND INTROSPECTION IN ISLAMIC YEAR

| |

The change Dzulhijjah to Muharram became signature the New Year in Islam, as we have known before it counted since our prophet Muhammad SAW moved (hijjrah) from Mecca to Madinah, so that most of people give Hijjriah as the name to mention it. Gradually, without realized the inhalation of breath have been coming in to the our nurse, the bit of heart have been decorating in our body, and beauty of the five senses can explain to us what a beautiful it is (world)!, those all that made us existed perfectly to enjoy the anything in this earth. But behind it all sometime we fall asleep by the its beautiful, even we forgot with our obligations, until we forgot too who the creator of anything (Allah SWT). Na’udzubillahi min dzalik, may Allah SWT always bless us and we are not in circle of careless. Amien…

In the application side, new year in Islam has difference with most of people generally to make application on it, which leaning to the anything that decorated by useless, and for satisfy only, for example trumpet puff, party, look for the place that so full by entertainment and even some actions that appoint to the bad ways, such as drug, drinks the alcohol, fighting and so on. Without realizing, what the meaning for it all, but the clearly those all just for desire with Satan behind it, Satan uses this moment (New Year) to persuade the humans to do anything like those all above.

In Islamic doctrine, Islam never command to show something that decorated by useless or ineffectual such as party, drug and so on just now, but Islam command to leaning to the contemplation and introspection in our self, usually shown by characteristic in circle Islamic doctrine, such as Khatmul Qur’an, reading the dzikir to Allah SWT and salawat to prophet Muhammad SAW together, and some actions that same with it.

Contemplation and introspection are in our self just for thinking, remembering what we have done for last year. Begin for our mistakes that appear from our weakness as the human being with the result we disobedient what Allah SWT command and prohibit to us, also begin for the happiness that ever we felt before as the blessing from Allah SWT, and also contemplate and introspect to the our achievement that ever we achieved before.

We must turn around to the back side, with the question for our self, how many mistakes that we have done before as the disobedient to Allah SWT? Did we say thank to our god for His bless that He has been giving to us up to now? And we have to know, He (Allah) never think to ask the reply for his bless to us, and what did we get (achievement) for long a year? If those questions answered, so automatically it will make appearance to always ask the apologize for all mistakes that have done before, appearance to always say thank for the blessing that received before until it can not count by the nominal in numbers and for the achievement that ever reached before to the our god Allah SWT.

After it all, we will have motivations to repair our self better than before. For example to repair the self concept to avoid negative things because it indeed bad ways and proper to avoid it, and also try persevering to reach achievement better than before because the achievement before is still minimum.

Yes, this is Islam in New Year application; there is not the particular of party, trumpet, or what anything in circle of ineffectual and just for satisfy for a moment. But contemplation and introspection that becomes the particulars in Islamic year as foundations to approach our self to Allah SWT.
