arabian mythology: al-uzza, manat & a-lat

manat was among mecca's three chief goddesses, alongside her sisters. and among them, she was the original and the oldest. she is considered a goddess of fate, fortune, time, and destiny. a-lat’s role has been debated on, but some conclude that she was a lunar deity. al-uzza was usually called upon for protection.

Al-Uzza – Altarabische Göttin des Morgensterns

In vorislamischer Zeit war Al-Uzza Schutzgöttin von Mekka. Ihr Heiligtum ar Suquam bei Mekka.

Segensvoller Neubeginn

In vorislamischer Zeit war Al-Uzza Schutzgöttin von Mekka. Ihr Heiligtum ar Suquam bei Mekka. Hier soll der Prophet Mohammed, dessen Stamm diese Göttin besonders verehrte, selbst ihren schwarzen Stein in die Kaaba gelegt haben.

Bevor der Islam sich durchsetzen konnte, versahen Priesterinnen ihren Kult. Auch später noch nannten sich die Wächter der Kaaba „Söhne der Alten Frau”. Drei Akazien stellten dort ihren Thron dar, die Göttin selbst lebte in einem Baum.

Sie wird als Starke, Gewaltige und Mächtige verehrt und verkörpert den jungfräulichen Kriegeraspekt. Al-Uzza steht sowohl für den Aspekt der Liebe, als auch den des Krieges, indem sie für Selbstsicherheit steht und in Kriegs- oder Kampfsituationen Schutz gewährt. Sie wird oft in Kampfesrüstung dargestellt.

Göttin des Neubeginns

Al-Uzza kündet den neuen Tag an und ist damit auch die Göttin für einen kräftigen und segensvollen Neubeginn. Al-Uzza ist als jungfräuliche Kriegerin und Jüngste ein Aspekt der dreifachen Göttin gemeinsam mit Manat (Abendstern) und Al-Lat (Mond).

In einer anderen Auslegung ist die Göttin Al-Lat in drei Göttinnen eingeteilt: Q´re ist der zunehmende Mond oder die Jungfrau. Al-Uzza ist die Starke, also der Vollmond, die Muttergöttin an sich. Zuletzt Manat, die abnehmende aber auch weise Schicksalsgöttin.

Interessant ist hier vor allem die Jungfrau Q´re, die sich auch in der griechischen Kore wiederfindet. Der Koran erwähnt sie in Sure 53, 19-23. Ihre Anrufung als Fürsprecherin bei Allah war von Mohammed einige Zeit erlaubt, wenig später jedoch als Götzenverehrung verboten.

Mohammed bekämpfte den Kult der Göttin als Unglauben und ließ das Heiligtum der Al-Uzza, in dem sich nach einigen Überlieferungen auch ein Orakel befunden haben soll, nach der Eroberung Mekkas zerstören. Der Glaube an sie überlebte dennoch im Islam, indem sie im Koran als eine der drei Töchter Allahs erwähnt ist.

Katzen und Delphine

Heilig sind ihr Katzen, vor allem große Raubkatzen. In der Stadt Petra gibt es ihr zu Ehren einen Tempel der geflügelten Löwen.

All-Uzza hilft bei Liebesangelegenheiten, bei unterstützenden Bindungen, bei neuen Entwicklungen, sie ist die Beschützerin von Frauen, die in Gefahr sind und hilft ihnen dabei, ihre innere Stärke zu entwickeln und sich zur Wehr zu setzen. Sie unterstützt Frauen, ihre Zuversicht und Wachsamkeit (eine Katzenkraft!) zu stärken.

Darüber hinaus begleitet und beschützt Al-Uzza auch Schiffe auf ihren Reisen über den Ozean (Morgenstern). Sie wird auch als Delphin symbolisiert, der entlang der Schiffe schwimmt und sie bewacht.

Khirbet edh-Dharih

Jordan

100 CE

22x16 m

Dharih's Nabataean settlement can be roughly dated to around 100 CE. It flourished during a period of prosperity in times of the Roman annexation of the Nabataean Kingdom. 

The temple (22 m x 16 m) consists of an unroofed vestibule to the south which opens to an almost square complex to the north, with a cultic platform in its center.  The façade facing south was 15 meters high. It had two protruding pedestals that used to host statues on each side of the entrance door, and two large windows above them. The architrave was decorated with carved vines and animals, and had Medusa heads at the corners. The frieze above displayed figures of the Zodiac alternating with winged Victories, and the triangular pediment, sea centaurs crowned by flying Victories. Standing eagles guarded the central figures. While several of the mentioned figures can be seen at the Jordan Museum, the central couple of gods, Dushara and al-'Uzza, can only be guessed from fragments.

The columned podium (7 x 7 m, height 1.40 m) in the center is accessed through two narrow stairways in the front. In the central slab of its pavement is a rectangular hole flanked by two small circular ones. Beneath the slab, a stone basin was found. The excavators interpret this as a system for sticking a betyl, and collecting the offering liquid after the ritual libations. It is not clear if this would have been wine, oil, or even blood. In a later phase, further two betyl holes were added in diagonal, which indicates a cult of a triad of gods.

A narrow U-shaped corridor surrounds the podium on three sides to circumambulate it in ritual processions. The hallway also gives access to two crypts situated under the platform and to the corner rooms. The northeast one encloses a staircase that used to lead to a terraced roof, and the two on the northwest side have large wall cupboards.

It is assumed that the craftsmen of the Dharih temple were the same who decorated the temple on the peak of Jabal et-Tannur.

[hotvampireadjacent]

so i've been reading the satanic verses recently and lookin up cultural stuff i don't understand. somehow one of the terms i searched up brought a christian site. I was specifically looking up something about al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat.

just very weird for a christian site to have a bunch of islam related links (of course full of misinformation and... well what you'd expect from a christan site)

this site hasn't changed for over 23 years i'm sure (?) At least looks like it. Didn't think websites like this still existed.

Ash-Shiddiq : Side Story of Isra Miraj

Sebuah peristiwa bersejarah terjadi, belum pernah terlihat sebelumnya dua pembesar Mekah berjalan beriringan diikuti oleh masing-masing pengikutnya menuju Bukit Abi Qubais — sebuah bukit tempat budak-budak menyebarkan berita kepada penjuru Mekah secara bergantian.

Abu Jahal memberikan panggung kepada Rasulullaahﷺ untuk mengisahkan kembali apa-apa yang tadi telah beliauﷺ sabdakan dengan niat mempermalukan nabiﷺ dan menggoyahkan keimanan muslimin.

Mekah menjadi gaduh dan ramai. Sebagian bertepuk tangan, sebagian sisanya meletakkan tangan di kepala sembari terheran-heran.

“agama Muhammad telah mati. Tinggal satu orang ini, apabila satu orang ini goyah, maka habis sudah seluruh ajaran Muhammad”, tutur Abu Jahal dengan penuh keyakinan.

Seseorang ini, dikisahkan sedang mengurusi kebunnya di luar Mekah. Orang-orang yang penasaran dipimpin langsung oleh Abu Jahal dari kalangan Quraisy beserta sebagian Muslimin mendatanginya dan menceritakan semua yang telah mereka dengar.

Beliau radhiyallahu anhu berkata, "Wahai Quraisy, ketauhilah, aku telah beriman atas apa yang diucapkan Muhammad dan dia mengatakan bahwa wahyu itu turun dari langit. Lalu, apa bedanya aku beriman jika dia dari bumi pergi ke langit? Sama saja. Ketahuilah, Quraisy, bila di depan mata saya ada tembok berwarna putih dan Muhammad mengatakan, 'Tidak, tembok itu berwarna hitam,' maka saya akan dustakan mata saya dan saya akan katakan iya, tembok itu berwarna hitam."

Setelah pernyataan penuh keimanan itu beliau kemukakan di hadapan Quraisy dan Muslimin yang meragu, ia radhiyallahu anhu bergegas mencari Rasulullahﷺ. Sesampainya di sekitar bukit, dengan penuh retorika ia radhiyallahu anhu berteriak lantang agar kerumunan manusia turut mendengar apa-apa yang beliau sampaikan, "Ya Rasulullah, Ya Rasulullah, benarkah engkau telah bercerita kepada manusia, bahwa pada malam ini engkau pergi ke Baitul Maqdis?” Rasulullahﷺ menjawab, “Ya, benar."

Beliau radhiyallahu anhu berkata, "Kalau begitu, tolong, ceritakan kepadaku ciri-ciri Baitul Maqdis, Karena sebelumnya aku pernah pergi kesana!"

Al-Hasan berkata, "Rasulullahﷺ bersabda, "Kemudian Baitul Maqdis diangkat kepadaku hingga aku bisa melihatnya." Lalu Rasulullahﷺ menjelaskan ciri-ciri Baitul Maqdis. Setelah mendapatkan penjelasan Rasulullahﷺ beliau radhiyallahu anhu berkata, "Engkau berkata benar. Aku bersaksi bahwa engkau adalah utusan Allah". Setiap kali Rasulullaahﷺ menjelaskan ciri-ciri Baitul Maqdis, beliau radhiyallahu anhu berkata, "Engkau berkata benar. Aku bersaksi bahwa engkau adalah utusan Allah." Begitulah, hingga Rasulullahﷺ selesai menjelaskan ciri-ciri Baitul Maqdis.

Muth'am ibn Adi berkata kepada Rasulullah ﷺ, "wahai anak saudaraku, kami dapat memercayai semua hal yang kausampaikan sebelum hari ini. Namun pada hari ini aku bersaksi bahwa kau benar-benar berdusta. Bahkan kami, membutuhkan waktu dua bulan untuk menempuh perjalan-an dari sini ke Baitul Maqdis dengan menunggang unta. Sementara kau mengatakan telah menempuh perjalanan pulang pergi dari sini ke sana dalam waktu yang kurang dari satu malam? Demi Lata dan Uzza, aku tidak membenarkan ceritamu. Seluruh yang kaukatakan saat ini tidak terjadi sama sekali!"

Lalu beliau radhiyallahu anhu yang tengah hadir pada saat itu berteriak kepada Muth'am, "Hai Muth'am, betapa buruk ucapanmu kepada keponakanmu! Engkau menolak dan mendustakannya! Aku bersaksi bahwa ia mengatakan kebenaran.”

Tentu pada bahasan lain tentang kisah Isra Miraj, sirah mengabadikan bagi kita bahwa selanjutnya Rasulullaahﷺ melalukan pembuktian-pembuktian yang tidak terelakkan bagi Quraisy.

Maka sejak hari itu, sebuah sisi lain peristiwa Isra Miraj turut sampai untuk menjadi inspirasi dan penguat keimanan bagi kita semua. Rasulullahﷺ dan segala apa yang beliauﷺ bawa pasti benar, terlepas dari segala keterbatasan akal kita sebagai manusia.

Rasulullah memberi julukan baru kepada sahabat sang pemeran utama dari sisi lain peristiwa Isra Miraj; Abu Bakar — Ash-Shiddiq; orang yang jujur dan membenarkan.

The comming of Dajjal and the descension of Isa a.s. (Jesus)

An-Nawwas bin Sam`an (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal.

 If he appears while I am with you, I will defend you against him. But if he appears after I die, then everyone of you is his own defender. Allah is the One Who remains after me to guide every Muslim. Dajjal will be a young man with very curly hair with one eye protruding (with which he cannot see). I compare (his appearance) to that of Al-`Uzza bin Qatan. He who amongst you survives to see him, should recite over him the opening Ayat of Surat Al-Kahf (i.e., Surat 18: Verses 1-8). He will appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and will spread mischief right and left. O slaves of Allah! Remain adhered to the truth.''

We asked: "O Messenger of Allah! How long will he stay on the earth?'' He said, "For forty days. One day will be like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week and the rest of the days will be like your days.'' We said: "O Messenger of Allah! Will one day's Salat (prayer) suffice for the Salat of that day which will be equal to one year?'' Thereupon he said, "No, but you must make an estimate of time and then offer Salat.'' We said: "O Messenger of Allah! How quickly will he walk upon the earth?'' Thereupon he said, "Like cloud driven by the wind (i.e., very quickly). He will come to the people and call them to his obedience and they will affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He will then give command to the sky and it will send its rain upon the earth and he will then send his command to the earth and it will grow vegetation. Then in the evening their pasturing animals will come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched.

He will then come to another people and invite them, but they will reject him and he will leave them, in barren lands and without any goods and chattels! He would then walk through the waste land and say to it: `Bring forth your treasures', and the treasures will come out and follow him like swarms of bees. He will then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and make these pieces lie at a distance, which is generally between the archer and his target. He will then call that young man and he will come forward, laughing, with his face gleaming out of joy; and it will be at this very time that Allah will send `Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) who will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed and placing his hands on the wings of two angels. When he will lower his head, there would fall drops of water from his head, and when he will raise it up, drops like pearls would scatter from it. Every disbeliever who will find his (i.e., `Isa's) smell will die and his smell will reach as far as he will be able to see. He will then search for Dajjal until he will catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd (village near Jerusalem), and will kill him. Then the people, whom Allah will have protected, will come to `Isa son of Maryam, and he will wipe their faces and will inform them of their ranks in Jannah, and it will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to `Isa these words: `I have brought forth from amongst my slaves such people against whom none will be able to fight, so take these people safely to the mountain (Tur).'

And then Allah will send Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog people) and they will sworn down from every slope. The first of them will pass the Lake Tabariyah (near the Dead Sea in Palestine) and drink all its water. And when the last of them will pass, he will say: `There was once water there.'

Prophet `Isa (ﷺ) and his companions will then be so much hard-pressed that the head of an ox will be dearer to them than one hundred dinar, and `Isa along with his companions, will make supplication to Allah, Who will send insects which will attack their (Ya'juj and Ma'juj people) neck until they all will perish like a single person. Prophet, `Isa and his companions will then come down and they will not find in the earth as much space as a single span which would not be filled with their corpses and their stench. Prophet `Isa and his companions will then again beseech Allah, Who will send birds whose necks will be like those of Bactrian camels, and they will carry them and throw them where Allah will desire. Then Allah will send down rain which will spare no house in the city or in the countryside. It would wash away the earth until it appears like a mirror. Then the earth will be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessings; and as a result of this, there will grow such a big pomegranate that a group of people will eat from it and seek shelter under its skin. Milk will be so blessed that the milk of one she-camel will suffice for a large company and the cow will give so much milk, that it will suffice for a whole tribe. The sheep will give so much milk that the whole family will be able to drink out of that, and at that time Allah will send a pleasant wind which will soothe people even under their armpits, and will take the life of every Muslim and true believer, and only the wicked will survive. They will commit adultery in public like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour.

So, Who Are The Three Mothers Anyway?

Exploring the Germanic “Modra.”

Found in Burgel, West Germany, is a votive stone with an inscription reading “Matronis Alagabius,” translating to “All-giving Mothers.” The stone dates back to around the 4th century AD. Ten more votive stones with the inscription “Matronis Gabiabus” were also uncovered in Rovenich, Germany. These are just two instances of votive stones dedicated to the elusive mother deities throughout Northwestern Europe. Furthermore, the heathen Anglo-Saxon holiday of Modranicht or “Mothers’ Night” is mentioned by the notable monk Bede in his work De temporum ratione. Bede writes that the Anglo-Saxon heathens celebrated this holiday at the same time that the Christians celebrated the birth of the lord. It is generally accepted by scholars that the mothers recognized during this holiday, as well as the mothers to whom these votive stones are dedicated to, are ancestral female deities of a protective nature. However, information on these deities is scarce and their importance remains somewhat unclear. I don’t think it would be unwise to view the mothers as ancestral deities, but I have my own theories as to whom these mystifying figures are. I believe these Germanic mothers are much more complex and nuanced and I aim to make more sense of them in this article.

Firstly, I’d like to address how these female deities appear. They are often depicted in groups of three, sometimes holding dishes containing bread, fruit, or flowers. The Ashcroft Relief, found near Circencester, England, was discovered in 1899 and dates back to approximately the 3rd century AD. The first figure appears to be holding bread, the second fruit, and the third some unidentifiable objects. It is important to note that Circenster was occupied by the Romans at this time. Matter of fact, many artifacts relating to the three mothers have been unearthed at Roman military sites. The Romans dominated much of Europe from the 1st to 4th centuries AD and as a result, the Germanic tribes and Romans frequently interacted. An altar with an inscription dedicated to the Ambiamarcae and Ambriorenis, as well as several Roman deities, was found in Deutz, West Germany, and dates back to 252 AD. These titles may be referring to the location of Ambia. This altar alone affirms the protective nature of these deities. There are also votive objects that describe mothers of rivers, oaks, mountains, battle, and healing. Stones dedicated to the Condrusi tribe and Eastern Goths also signify their status as ancestral tribe mothers. These votive objects are found mostly in Germany and England.

The appearance of these deities in groups of three is particularly striking. It is common knowledge that the number three was considered sacred by the Germanic peoples. There are three Norns named Wyrd, Verdandi, and Skuld who spin the threads of fate. The Yggdrasil tree has three roots, each containing a sacred well. One of these wells is the Well of Wyrd. Triple fate deities are also present in Greek mythology. The three sisters Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos are responsible for one’s destiny. The Parcae are their Roman equivalent. Moreover, the triple goddess portraying the maiden, the mother, and the crone is a popular neopagan concept. Each figure represents an important phase in a woman’s life and corresponds to various phases of the moon. It should be noted that triple female deities are recognized in pagan beliefs across the globe, not only in the native European faiths. In the Pre-Islamic Arabian religion, the three sisters Al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat were the central deities venerated in Mecca. Al-Lat was the goddess of war and battle, al-Uzza the goddess of protection, and Manat the goddess of fate and death. Fate and one’s life cycle is a significant common theme among triple deities.

As previously stated, the heathen Anglo-Saxon Modranicht was briefly described by Bede. He asserts that specific “ceremonies” took place during this holiday and many scholars believe Bede may have been alluding to a type of sacrificial celebration similar to the Scandinavian Disablot. The Disablot was a pre-Christian holiday dedicated to the Disir, female deities. Female land spirits are even referred to as Landdisir, derived from the sacred stones they inhabit called Landdisasteinar. Disablot took place in hopes of ensuring a bountiful harvest. Female goddesses are often associated with fertility within both humans and the Earth. The 11th century Anglo-Saxon Aecerbot, or “Field Remedy,” mentions the goddess Erce. This charm is heavily Christianized, but still gives directions to invoke the goddess. Her name is to be chanted three times and she is described as Earth’s mother. In Gylfaginning, Frigg receives oaths from several natural objects such as stones, trees, and birds after Baldur’s dreams predict his death. This demonstrates Frigg’s deep connection with the Earth and her influence over its characteristics. Some argue that these three mother deities were central to a Germanic mother-cult dedicated to the hearth.

As a result of my lengthy research into this topic, I do not reject the idea that the three mothers are ancestral guardian deities. Their veneration at Roman military sites makes this extremely clear, and the votive objects describing them as mothers of certain tribes makes this all the more obvious. However, I feel these deities also have an extremely strong connection to fate which is often overlooked by scholars. Their worship at military sites may very well indicate the belief that these mother deities have some command over an individual’s fate, as well as the fate of the tribe. As mothers of the tribe, these deities at the very least possess knowledge of its destiny. As I see it, fate deities being portrayed in groups of three throughout numerous pre-Christian religions furthers the idea that the three mothers are in some way symbolic of fate. Secondly, I view the three mothers as some sort of land spirits, similar to the Landdisir. Inscriptions describing them as mothers of various geographical features, as well as many female goddesses being heavily linked to the natural environment, solidifies this suggestion. I feel that the three mothers are often not specific deities attested in literary sources, but instead separate beings unique to and symbolic of specific tribes. In some cases, I would argue that the three mothers may depict various aspects of Frigg, a trio of Earth goddesses such as Erce, or even the Norns. Overall, I view the three mothers as prophetic ancestral fate deities who are in some way responsible for the prosperity of the tribe, as well as the land in which they reside.

https://quranx.com/8.11-14

[Remember] when He overwhelmed you with drowsiness [giving] security from Him and sent down upon you from the sky, rain by which to purify you and remove from you the evil [suggestions] of Satan and to make steadfast your hearts and plant firmly thereby your feet.

[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip."

That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger - indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.

"That [is yours], so taste it." And indeed for the disbelievers is the punishment of the Fire.

According to the Islamic scholar Ibn Kathir:

https://quranx.com/Tafsir/Kathir/8.11

Allah commands the Angels to fight and support the Believers Allah said next,

((Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed.'')

This is a hidden favor that Allah has made known to the believers, so that they thank Him and are grateful to Him for it. Allah, glorified, exalted, blessed and praised be He, has revealed to the angels -- whom He sent to support His Prophet, religion and believing group -- to make the believers firmer. Allah's statement,

(I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved.) means, `you -- angels -- support the believers, strengthen their (battle) front against their enemies, thus, implementing My command to you. I will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied My command and denied My Messenger, 

(so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.) strike them on their foreheads to tear them apart and over the necks to cut them off, and cut off their limbs, hands and feet. It was said that,

(over the necks) refers to striking the forehead, or the neck, according to Ad-Dahhak and `Atiyyah Al-`Awfi. In support of the latter, Allah commanded the believers,

(So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah's cause) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, take them as captives).) 47:4

Ar-Rabi` bin Anas said, "In the aftermath of Badr, the people used to recognize whomever the angels killed from those whom they killed, by the wounds over their necks, fingers and toes, because those parts had a mark as if they were branded by fire.'' Allah said,

(and smite over all their fingers and toes.)

Ibn Jarir commented that this Ayah commands, "O believers! Strike every limb and finger on the hands and feet of your (disbelieving) enemies.'' Al-`Awfi reported, that Ibn `Abbas said about the battle of Badr that Abu Jahl said, "Do not kill them (the Muslims), but capture them so that you make known to them what they did, their ridiculing your religion and shunning Al-Lat and Al-`Uzza (two idols).'' Allah than sent down to the angels,

(Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.)

In that battle, Abu Jahl (may Allah curse him) was killed along with sixty-nine men. `Uqbah bin Abu Mua`it was captured and then killed, thus bring the death toll of the pagans to seventy,

🍃🕊🍃 The Imams (pbbut) are the strong rope and ‘firmest handle’

🍃 The Purified Imams (pbbut) are the Hablul Mateen (strong rope) 🍃

&

Urwatul Wuthqa (firmest handle)

And there are many Quranic verses on this topic.

First verse:

فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ.

...whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. (Surah Baqarah 2:256)

We should know that the Shaitans are all (false) deities other than Allah. In many traditions Imam (as) has compared the false deities to the unjust rulers and enemies of religion whether they be Jibt, Tagut or Uzza and also considered the two hypocrites, the first and the second (caliphs) one as the Sanam (idols) of Quraysh. (And it is narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (as) that in the book of Allah our enemies are called ‘Fahsha’, ‘Munkir’, ‘Avsan’, ‘Jibt’ and ‘Taghut’.

Kulaini has narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (as) that ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ refers to the faithful man. And in another tradition he says that ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ is to bring faith on only one God, Who has no partner.

There is a tradition in Mahasin by the same Imam that ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ means monotheism and Ibne Shahr Aashob has narrated from Imam al-Baqir (as) that ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ is the love of we AhlulBayt (pbbut) and in Uyoon Akhbar Ridha there is a tradition from the same Hazrat that the Holy Prophet (S) said that those who want to board the ship of salvation and get attached to ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ and ‘Hablul matin’ hold of Allah, should after me befriend Ali and be inimical to his enemies and follow the Imams from his progeny.

Also from the same Hazrat it is narrated that the Holy Prophet (S) said that those who want to hold ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’, should love Ali and my AhlulBayt (pbbut).

Also there is a tradition that the Holy Prophet (S) said: Those who follow the Imams from the progeny of Imam Hussain (as) then without any doubt they have followed Allah and those who disobey them are those who have disobeyed Allah. They are ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ and they are Wasilah (medium) for the people to reach Allah.

According to another tradition Imam al-Ridha (as) wrote to Mamoon about Islam, Shariah and religion. It was also written that the earth is never without the Hujjat (proof) of Allah. And they are ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ and Imams of guidance and proof of Allah on the people.

There is a tradition in Tawheed that Amirul Momineen (as) said that I am ‘Hablullah-al-Matin’ and I am ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’.

There is a tradition in Kamaluddeen that Imam al-Ridha (as) said: We are the Hujjat (proof) of Allah on the people and we are the ‘words of piety’ and ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’.

In Maniul Akhbar there is a tradition from the Holy Prophet (S) that those who want to get attached to the ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’ which shall never break, should attach themselves to my brother and my vicegerent, Ali Ibne Abi Talib’s (as) Wilayat. Without any doubt he will not be destroyed that befriends him and has belief in his Imamate. And he will not get salvation that regards him as an enemy.

In Tawilul Aayaat there is a tradition from Imam al-Ridha (as) that the Holy Prophet (S) said that those who want to catch hold of the ‘Urwatul Wuthqa’, should be attached to the Wilayat of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (as).

According to another tradition from Zaid Ibne Ali it is the true and intense love for Aale Muhammad (as).

Second verse:

وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا.

And hold fast by the covenant (rope) of Allah (Hablillah) all together and be not disunited… 3:103

Third verse:

ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوا إِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ اللَّهِ.

Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever they are found, except under a covenant with Allah… (Surah Ale-Imran 3:112)

Many of the traditionists have said that it means those who remain steadfast on the promise of Allah are protected.

There is a tradition from Ayyashi that Imam Moosa al-Kazim (as) said regarding the verse:

And hold fast by the covenant (rope) of Allah all together and be not disunited… (Surah Ale-Imran 3:103)

That Ali Ibne Abi Talib (as) is ‘hablulallah matin’. It means the tight rope of Allah.

Another tradition from Imam al-Baqir (as) says that the progeny of the Holy Prophet (S) is the rope of Allah, for whom Allah has commanded in this verse.

Also there is a tradition from Imam al-Sadiq (as) that he said: We are the rope of Allah.

Ali Ibne Ibrahim has narrated that ‘Hablullah’ means the Oneness (Tawheed) of Allah and the Mastership (Wilayat) of AhlulBayt (pbbut).

Also there is a saying of Imam al-Baqir (as) on the verse:

and be not disunited… (Surah Ale-Imran 3:103)

The Imam (as) said that Allah was knowing that this nation would be separated from its Prophet and they will have difference with him. That is why he stopped them from the difference as the nation which was before them was prohibited. Therefore they were commanded that they should remain united on the Wilayat of Muhammad (S) and his Progeny and should not disunite.

Ayyashi has narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (as) that the ‘Habl of Allah’ is the book of Allah and ‘Habl-e-Naas’ is Ali Ibne Abi Talib (as).

In Majalis of Shaykh Tusi and Manaqib of Ibne Shahr Aashob it is narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (as) that: We are ‘Hablullah’ - the rope of Allah.

PERISTIWA HALFUL FUDHŪL DAN PERNIKAHAN DENGAN KHADIJAH (BAGIAN 03 DARI 08)

Alhamdulillāh, Allāh Subhānahu wa Ta'āla masih memberikan kita kesempatan untuk bersua kembali,

dalam rangka untuk mempelajari perjalanan sejarah Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam yang sarat dan penuh dengan faedah-faedah.

Faedah-faedah itu bisa kita jadikan sebagai bekal kita dalam menjalani kehidupan kita.

In syā Allāh kita akan membahas tentang "Pernikahan Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam dengan sayyidah Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā".

Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā bernama Khadījah bintu Khuwailid bin As'ad bin Abdil 'Uzza bin Qushay bin Kilāb.

Sedangkan nasab Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam adalah Muhammad bin 'Abdillāh bin 'Abdil Muththalib bin Hāsyim bin 'Abdi Manaf bin Qushay bin Kilāb.

Keduanya bertemu pada Qushay.

Abdi Manaf, kakek Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam memiliki saudara yang bernama 'Abdi 'Uzza dan 'Abdi Syamsy.

Jadi, Khadījah sendiri masih seorang wanita Quraisy dan juga memiliki nasab yang tinggi.

Khadījah merupakan keturunan yang spesial dan terkenal di kalangan orang Arab tatkala itu.

Disebutkan didalam sejarah, bahwa diantara laqab (gelar)-nya ibunda Khadījah adalah Thāhirah (wanita yang suci),

karena beliau tidak mengikuti adat-adat jāhilīyyah, dan tidak pernah terjerumus ke dalam perzinahan dan hal-hal buruk lainnya.

Karena itu beliau dikenal sebagai wanita yang 'afīfah (menjaga kehormatan).

Selain itu, Ibunda Khadijah juga terkenal akan kecantikannya dan kekayaannya.

Beliau banyak memperkerjakan kaum lelaki dengan sistem mudhārabah untuk memperdagangkan hartanya.

Padahal Khadījah adalah seorang wanita janda.

Disebutkan bahwa sebelum beliau menikah dengan Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam, Khadījah sudah menikah dua kali yaitu dengan:

⑴ Atiq bin Makhzumiy

⑵ Abū Halah ibnu Zurarah At Tamimiy

⇒ Jadi, Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam adalah suami beliau yang ke-3.

Meskipun beliau wanita janda,

karena kesucian, akhlaqnya yang mulia, kekayaan hartanya, dan kecerdasannya, banyak lelaki yang datang melamarnya.

Namun Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā menolak semua lamaran itu. Beliau tidak terburu-buru untuk menikah.

Sampai akhirnya Khadījah mendengar tentang seorang pemuda yang bernama Muhammad shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam yang terkenal dengan amanahnya, akhlaqnya.

Maka Khadījah ingin agar Muhammad bekerja sebagai pekerjanya.

Inilah cerdasnya Khadījah, beliau sudah tertarik dengan Muhammad shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam, namun tidak terburu-buru minta dilamarkan kepada Muhammad.

Maka Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam bekerja dengan Khadījah sebagai pekerjanya.

Akhirnya berangkatlah Muhammad shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam memperdagangkan barang dagangan Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā.

Ketika Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam berangkat berdagang,

beliau shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam ditemani oleh budaknya Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā yang bernama Maysarah.

Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā memiliki maksud dengan memerintahkan Maysarah menemani Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam, yaitu untuk meneliti Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam.

Ini diantara indikasi yang menunjukkan bagaimana cerdasnya Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā, dimana beliau memiliki sifat tidak terburu-buru dan al anat (tenang).

Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā sebenarnya sudah tertarik kepada Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam,

namun beliau ingin menguji Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam terlebih dahulu.

Ujian ini dilakukan bukan saat Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam berdagang di Mekkah, melainkan saat safar,

karena sebagaimana perkataan para ulamā bahwa safar itu akan membuka tabir akhlaq seseorang yang sebenarnya.

Diriwayatkan ketika ada seseorang yang hadir didepan 'Umar bin Khaththab radhiyallāhu Ta'āla 'anhu,

maka 'Umar berkata kepada khayalak: "Siapa yang mentazkiah/merekomendasikan/mengatakan engkau orang baik?"

Maka ada seorang yang menjawab: "Saya, wahai 'Umar."

Maka 'Umar bertanya kepada orang yang ingin mentazkiah lelaki ini: "Apakah engkau pernah bersafar bersama dia?"

Jawab orang ini: "Tidak pernah."

Lalu kata 'Umar: "Engkau pernah berhubungan dengannya tentang masalah uang?"

Jawabnya: "Tidak."

Lalu 'Umar bertanya: "Apakah engkau tetangganya sehingga mengetahui kapan masuknya dan keluarnya?"

Jawabnya: "Saya bukan tetangganya."

Kata 'Umar: "Demi Allāh yang tidak ada sembahan yang berhak disembah kecuali Dia, engkau tidak kenal laki-laki ini."

Demikianlah, jika seseorang ingin mengetahui bagaimana hakikat orang lain, maka ajaklah bersafar atau bertransaksi uang dengannya,

sehingga dapat diketahui orang tersebut orang yang amanah atau gemar berdusta.

Untuk itulah, Khadījah menguji Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam dalam 2 perkara yang penting, yaitu:

⑴ Safar

⑵ Masalah keuangan

Inilah mungkin alasan kenapa safar disebut yusfir (membuka tabir seseorang).

Karena saat safar akan nampak akhlaq seseorang, apalagi jika safar dilakukan bersama orang-orang lain secara berkelompok.

Dari Abū Hurairah, dari Nabi shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam, beliau bersabda:

السَّفَرُ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ ، يَمْنَعُ أَحَدَكُمْ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ وَنَوْمَهُ ، فَإِذَا قَضَى نَهْمَتَهُ فَلْيُعَجِّلْ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ

“Safar adalah bagian dari adzab (siksa). Ketika salah seorang dari kalian melakukan safar, maka ia akan sulit makan, minum dan tidur,

Jika urusannya telah selesai, maka bersegeralah kembali kepada keluarganya.” (HR. Bukhāri nomor 1804 dan Muslim nomor 1927)

Setelah Maysarah kembali selepas safar bersama Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam dan melihat cara berdagang Beliau,

Maysarah pun segera mengabarkan kepada Khadījah tentang bagaimana hakikat Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam.

Setelah mendengar testimony Masyarah, maka semakin bertambah ketertarikan Khadījah kepada Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam.

Akhirnya Khadījah radhiyallāhu 'anhā pun bermaksud meminang Rasūlullāh shallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam.

Demikian yang bisa disampaikan, In syā Allāh besok kita lanjutkan pada pembahasan selanjutnya.
