Manusia, Fitrah, dan Jalan Kembali kepada Allah

 

Manusia, Fitrah, dan Jalan Kembali kepada Allah

Ustadz Dr. Joko Ali Wasono menjelaskan bahwa dalam diri manusia terdapat potensi kebaikan yang merupakan pantulan dari Asmaul Husna, meskipun hanya sebagai “percikan kecil” dari sifat-sifat kesempurnaan Allah. Manusia diberi kemampuan mencintai, menyayangi, berbuat adil, memaafkan, dan menunjukkan kebijaksanaan. Semua itu bukan karena manusia memiliki sifat ketuhanan, tetapi karena Allah menganugerahkan potensi luhur dalam batas sebagai makhluk.

Hal ini diisyaratkan dalam firman Allah:

ثُمَّ سَوَّاهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ
“Kemudian Dia menyempurnakannya dan meniupkan ke dalam tubuhnya roh (ciptaan)-Nya, serta menjadikan bagimu pendengaran, penglihatan, dan hati; tetapi sedikit sekali kamu bersyukur.”
(QS As-Sajdah [32]: 9)

Juga firman-Nya:

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ
“Apabila Aku telah menyempurnakan kejadiannya dan meniupkan kepadanya roh (ciptaan)-Ku, maka tunduklah kamu kepadanya dengan bersujud.”
(QS Al-Hijr [15]: 29)

Dan dalam ayat lain:

إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن طِينٍ ۝ فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ
“Ketika Tuhanmu berfirman kepada para malaikat: Aku akan menciptakan manusia dari tanah. Maka apabila telah Kusempurnakan kejadiannya dan Kutiupkan kepadanya roh (ciptaan)-Ku, maka tunduklah kamu kepadanya dengan bersujud.”
(QS Shad [38]: 71–72)

Tafsir dan Makna

Para ulama menjelaskan bahwa frasa “roh-Ku” bukan berarti bagian dari dzat Allah masuk ke dalam manusia, melainkan roh ciptaan Allah yang dimuliakan. Ayat ini menunjukkan kemuliaan manusia dibanding makhluk lain karena diberi akal, hati, dan tanggung jawab moral. Karena itu, manusia semestinya mengembangkan sifat kasih sayang, kebijaksanaan, kejujuran, dan keadilan.


Allah Sangat Dekat dengan Manusia

Manusia sering merasa sendiri, padahal Allah tidak pernah jauh. Kedekatan Allah ditegaskan dalam Al-Qur’an:

هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ... وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
“Dialah yang menciptakan langit dan bumi... dan Dia bersama kamu di mana saja kamu berada. Dan Allah Maha Melihat apa yang kamu kerjakan.”
(QS Al-Hadid [57]: 4)

Dan firman-Nya:

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ
“Kami telah menciptakan manusia dan mengetahui apa yang dibisikkan hatinya, dan Kami lebih dekat kepadanya daripada urat lehernya.”
(QS Qaf [50]: 16)

Tafsir dan Makna

Kedekatan Allah bukan berarti Allah menyatu dengan makhluk, tetapi dekat dengan ilmu, pengawasan, kasih sayang, dan pertolongan-Nya. Tidak ada bisikan hati, kesedihan, atau air mata yang luput dari pengetahuan-Nya. Karena itu, seorang mukmin tidak perlu putus asa.

Zionist Groups Will Sacrifice 100 million Without Remorse

  • "100 million Lives? No Price Too High: Rabbi Beck's Shocking Takedown of Zionist Logic"

Rabbi Elhanan Beck, a well-known Jewish anti-Zionist figure, recently launched sharp criticism against Zionist groups. He made these remarks during an exclusive interview with the Middle East Eye podcast. His statements immediately drew widespread attention for daring to highlight the dark side of Zionist political logic.

In the interview, Beck stated that Zionists have no moral boundaries when it comes to securing Israel's safety. He asserted that they are willing to sacrifice up to 100 million human lives without any sense of remorse. Beck used this figure to illustrate how extreme Zionist political priorities are when placed above humanitarian values.

Beck emphasized that for Zionist groups, the survival of Israel as a political project is everything. No price is too high—including massive loss of life—to maintain their dominance. According to Beck, this logic shows that political interests have completely overridden any sense of humanity.

He also accused Zionist groups of giving no thought to the fate of civilians, whether Muslim or Palestinian. Their only goal, he said, is the continuation of their political project and regional dominance. As a result, the suffering of ordinary people is treated as an acceptable "side effect."

One of Beck's sharpest criticisms concerns the normalization of violence against children in Gaza. He claimed that the killing of Palestinian children is actually celebrated within Zionist war logic. According to Beck, this demonstrates how civilian victims, especially the most vulnerable, have been stripped of their human dignity.

Beck clearly distinguishes between Judaism as a religion and Zionism as a political project. He rejects the notion that Zionist actions reflect Jewish teachings. Instead, Beck calls Zionism a deviation that exploits religion to justify occupation, war, and the dispossession of Palestinian land.

According to Beck, the root of the Middle East conflict is not religion but the practice of occupation and the imposition of power over other peoples. He concludes that Zionist logic is cruel, inhumane, and does not reflect true Jewish values. His critique also serves as a call to separate religion from colonial political practices.
