Dr. Muhammad Ahsin Sakho: Let Them blasphemy, the Qur'an remains Preserved

Blasphemed the Qur’an? Muslims should defend him though not necessarily burst the excessive emotion. In order to not get caught up too much anger, selaiknya Muslims promote rationality. For example, understanding the Qur'an senantiasamenjadi target blasphemy, because the purity and perfection.

Invitation was echoed Dr. cool. Ahsin Sakho Muhammad. Institute of expert interpretation of the Qur'an (IIQ) is confirmed, it's not just blasphemy in this modern age, but since the time of the Prophet Muhammad Qur'an has become the target of blasphemy. ''The Qur'an was allegedly false,''said the man born in Cirebon, February 21, 1956 this. Lecturer at the University of Paramadina Mulya graduate tells of a group of Jews and Christians at the time of the Prophet tried to distort the contents and teachings of the Qur’an.

The goal is that Muslims do not have the original scriptures. Also that ulcers of non-Muslims were not unknown to people in modern times. ''In the Qur'an it is described earlier peoples, following diversion and negative action, "added the lecturer Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Jakarta. Despite constantly blasphemed, a doctoral graduate of the University of association Islamiyah, Medina, Saudi Arabia, believes the promise of Allah that the Qur'an stay awake and be sustainable throughout the ages. To learn more, here's an interview with Dr. Ahsin Republika around the authenticity of the Qur'an and accusations-accusations against him.

Lately a lot of accusations and insults against Islam and the Qur’an. Lastly as reported by Newsweek magazine, issue of the end of July, that mention the Qur’an is false, and not from Arabic. What do you think?

Accusations and insults against Islam, the Qur'an also like that is not new. Since the first was already there such a thing. But for me it not a few people who hate the Qur’an and Muhammad as the recipient of the revelation. The Qur'an itself has explained about the hatred, dislike, and doubts the foregoing, the pagan Quraysh.As in the letter Almuddatstsir, 24-25, "Then he said: The Qur'an is nothing but magic is learned (from those who passed).

This is nothing but the word of man. "There are many verses like that, which also mentions that the Qur’an was dictated to Muhammad SAW and others. About Muhammad himself is equally bitter, insult was addressed. For example, the last apostle is called ' Kahin '(astrologer), and other designations. So, accusations-such accusations have long existed. But, as we witnessed, the Qur’an kept going, unaffected by the various accusations and insults them. Actually, they did not deny the existence of The last revelation revealed to Prophet Muhammad this, but it's kind of hatred against Islam and Muhammad.

Such was recognized quite difficult to stem the influence of such hatred. They continue to make efforts to deny the existence of the Qur’an, for example, through the recitation of the Qur'an as do aspects of Western orientalists, Gold Ziher, which states, various readings of the Qur'an is not Muhammad, but because it's not given a vowel and a point, giving rise to vowel and diverse readings. That means doubting the Qur’an, the book is manmade. But I saw, in terms of any kind, the Qur'an is kalamullah (the word of God).

The accusation is now more systematic and sophisticated, for example, mentions the Qur'an is not original anymore, but it was mixed by hand of man, like the Bible.What do you think?

What happened was not like that. Qur'an only to criticize the clergy act Jewish and Christian texts and content-changing content of the Qur'an. They feel enjoy when there is no Qur’an. But luckily there are scriptures that cover their actions in the book and deflect celestial religions of the original. This is what they do not like because the Qur'an shows 'ulcers' in attempt to distort the celestial books.

Even then the Qur'an describes the stories of the past which also exists in the Bible or other religious book, it's a natural thing. The reason, the Qur'an progressors of divine religions and holy books before. The Qur'an also explains that what Muhammad brought that was not a new religion, but continued or falsifies the previous divine religions. "I was not entirely new apostles, but the only successor of the apostles before," said the Prophet SAW. Only difference is, if the Bible was menjelaskankan in detail, but simply its global Qur'an alone.

The issue, because as the book of progressors, as well as an apostle Muhammad supplementary, then emerged that the Qur’an is no different from the Bible and the other is not pure?

Such claims also need to be questioned again. Therefore, the Qur'an is simply to summarize the teachings of the holy book of divine religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam in addition to) the original, not a human hand that has been mixed. For this reason, the Qur'an is more complete than previous heavenly books because it's complement of the previous original heavenly books. Of course in which there is alignment-alignment in relation to history. Therefore, if there are similarities, it's a natural thing. But the Qur'an is more than that. Because in addition to revealing what he had in previous heavenly books, is also criticized.

Today, the view of many divine religions pengkaburan. Biblical scripture alone was mixed with the birth of the New Testament, besides the Old Testament. Actually, like what the hell that heavenly limit?

Limitations related more to the prophet. For example, when Moses lived till his death, that the original teachings, called the celestial. Likewise with the Prophet Isa AS until he was appointed to the sky, that the divine. Period after it is no longer the divine teachings, until the coming of Muhammad SAW. Because, until before Muhammad, the teachings and books of divine religions have been mixed up according to the interests of the clergy to maintain their social status. Efforts had been perversion last long.

For example took place in 325 AD the churches of the world congress to discuss and formulate what Jesus does it. The majority in attendance stating that the Prophet Isa AS was no element of divinity, except Arios who mentions the Prophet Jesus AS was 'Abd' (servant of God). Only Arios who maintain that the Prophet Isa AS was a servant of God. The rest, not only says there is an element of divinity, but also called Jesus the U.S. as children of God, and so forth. In about the year 600 AD, at the time of King Theodosius II, School Arios prohibited. It is said, that the Qur'an also be guarded by God until the end of time.

How far the meaning of the phrase is, and what kind of authenticity to the language that the Qur'an?

The Qur'an is clear comes from the Arabic language. Some verses state that. "Inna Anzalna Qur'aanan Arabiyyan" (Indeed We sent down the Qur'an is in Arabic). When traced, it comes from the Arabic family of languages ​​Smit. These families taken from Sam Ibn Noah. Well clumps Smit existing language in the Middle East today, among others, yes Arabic, Hebrew, Asyuri, Babuli, and language Habasyi.

Because a single clump, then a lot of similarities, especially makhraj her (pronunciation) in Arabic, but we do not understand because it's not Arabic. So natural that the claim language of the Qur’an there is no longer pure Arabic, but from a language other than Arabic. Well, we as Muslims believe, that the Qur'an because it will forever be kept and maintained lasting womb and its contents by God.Moreover, God Himself promised, "Inna nahnu nazzalna az-zikra, wa inna nahnu lahaafizuun" (Verily We the Qur'an, and we will personally take care of). The commentators agree, if God uses permissible in the plural (ie, Inna / that 'a lot'), it means there is direct involvement of the God of the Qur'an (the guard). Even so, of course there must be a human role to defend and preserve it.

In your opinion, what should be done on Muslims to confront accusations and insults against the Qur’an?

There are two important things I want to say. First, I believe, that the Qur'an has always been and continue to exist until the end of time, though not a few people tried to falsify and distort the teachings and abortion. Second, to the Muslims, should not be emotional facing accusations also tilted against the Qur’an Muhammad. Face it with a rational and mature. Well this is primarily a Muslim academics who cultivate the science of the Qur'an and Islam generally, to discuss the best ways. In addition, the presence of various insults and accusations is also a challenge all of us to always critically examine the content of the Qur'an in order to stay relevant with the times.
