DUA KAIDAH YANG MENGHIDUPKAN KEHIDUPAN BERAGAMA, AMAR MA'RUF NAHI MUNKAR DAN AR-RAQAIQ (KELEMBUTAN HATI DAN PENYUCIAN JIWA)

Abstract

This paper discusses the significance of two principles, amar ma'ruf nahi munkar (enjoining good and forbidding evil) and ar-Raqaiq (gentleness of heart and purification of the soul), in upholding religious life. The duty of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar is emphasized as being obligatory above all other obligations, while ar-Raqaiq focuses on events that soften the heart and move the soul. Both principles are crucial in maintaining a steadfast religious life. The paper also highlights the exemplary sensitivity of religious figures such as Ustadz Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, Imam Abu Hasan al-Syadzili, Abdul Qodir Jailani, and Hasan al-Basri towards religious issues. These figures engaged in self-reflection and paid attention to amar ma'ruf nahi munkar. The paper emphasizes the importance of this principle in religious life, stressing the need for individuals to be mindful of the consequences of their actions and to possess a conscientious heart. Both Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Munkar and the recommendation to convey "Raqaiq" are like arteries and veins in the human body. Just as life in the body depends on the capillaries of the blood, so does the existence of religious life that depends on the implementation of these two rules. Only by implementing these two rules can humans always worry about the retribution for all deeds and have a heart full of awareness so that every step that is stomped on will be done with caution and vigilance, and carry out every second of their life with muhasabah.
