Commemorating The Prophet's Birthday, Muhadjir Effendi Reminds The Cycle Of Human Life

JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy reminded all people of the cycle of human life through the momentum of the Prophet Muhammad SAW (shallalalahu alaihi wa sallam). "There is an axiom that the peak of the glory of the people will be rotated by Allah SWT (subhanahu wa ta'ala) among mankind," he said at the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday at the Istiqlal Mosque, which was followed online in Jakarta, Thursday, September 28.

Muhadjir explained that the axiom was obtained from Ali Imran's letter paragraph 144, which stated in general that the Prophet Muhammad SAW was an ordinary person, and it became special because he was sent to be a servant. This people, he said, also emphasized that if the Prophet SAW was killed, then just like other humans, there is no difference between him.

"And if later Rasulullah SAW dies then all mulitations, then it will not affect the authority of Allah SWT at all," he added. As for the asbabunnuzul (the cause of being revealed) the verse, said Muhadjir, is an event of the Uhud War, where Muslims were defeated by people who were previously defeated by Muslims. So, he continued, the revival of Muslims as in the Ottoman era could also occur, depending on the efforts made by Muslims. According to him, currently Muslims are discovering new ways to achieve superior, and moderate Islamic civilization. This must be used as a spirit to regain the glory of Islam. "Maulid this Prophet is part of our efforts to remember and re-adani a special human named Muhammad SAW," said Muhadjir Effendy.
