Ilmu Fiqih, Aqidah, Akhlak, Ibadah, Tajwid dan Tauhid

 PENDIDIKAN DASAR AGAMA ISLAM.

Berikut adalah pengertian dari beberapa cabang ilmu dalam mempelajari agama Islam.

Ilmu Fiqih

Ilmu fiqih adalah ilmu untuk mengetahui hukum Allah yang berhubungan dengan segala amaliah mukallaf baik yang wajib, sunah, mubah, makruh atau haram yang digali dari dalil-dalil yang jelas (tafshili).

Produk ilmu fiqih adalah “fiqih”. Sedangkan kaidah-kaidah istinbath (mengeluarkan) hukum dari sumbernya dipelajari dalam ilmu “Ushul Fiqih”.

Ilmu Aqidah

Ilmu Aqidah adalah ilmu yang mengajarkan manusia mengenai kepercayaan yang pasti dan wajib dimiliki oleh setiap manusia.

Ilmu Akhlak

Ilmu Akhlak adalah ilmu yangmengajarkan manusia untuk dapat berperangai,berbudi pekerti,tingkah laku dan tabiat.

Ilmu Ibadah

Ilmu ibadah adalah sambungan dari pada ilmu ahlak dimana semuanya membahas tentang tingkah laku serta cara-cara kita untuk beribadah kepada Tuhan (pencipta kita) sesuai dengan Aqidah yang kita yakini.

Ilmu Tajwid

Ilmu Tajwid adalah ilmu yang membahas tentang tata cara dan bagaimana cara kita membaca Al’Quran (Ejaan-ejaan dll)dengan baik dan benar sesuai dengan tuntunan Sunnah Rasulullah Saw.

Ilmu Tauhid

 ilmu Tauhid yakni ilmu yang mempelajari dan membahas masalah-masalah yang berhubungan dengan keimanan terutama yang menyangkut masalah ke-Maha Esa-an Allah.

Hukum mempelajari ilmu tauhid adalah fardhu ‘ain bagi setiap muslim dan muslimah sampai ia betul-betul memiliki keyakinan dan kepuasan hati serta akal bahwa ia berada di atas agama yang benar. Sedangkan mempelajari lebih dari itu hukumnya fardhu kifayah, artinya jika telah ada yang mengetahui, yang lain tidak berdosa. Allah swt berfirman:

Maka ketahuilah, bahwa sesungguhnya tidak ada Tuhan (Yang Haq) melainkan Allah. (47:19).

Macam-Macam Tauhid

Tauhid, adalah konsep dalam aqidah Islam yang menyatakan keesaan Allah.

Tauhid dibagi menjadi 3 macam yakni tauhid rububiyah, uluhiyah dan Asma wa Sifat. Mengamalkan tauhid dan menjauhi syirik merupakan konsekuensi dari kalimat sahadat yang telah diikrarkan oleh seorang muslim.

Rububiyah

Beriman bahwa hanya Allah satu-satunya Rabb yang memiliki, merencanakan, menciptakan, mengatur, memelihara, memberi rezeki, memberikan manfaat, menolak mudharat serta menjaga seluruh Alam Semesta. Sebagaimana terdapat dalam Al Quran surat Az Zumar ayat 62 :”Allah menciptakan segala sesuatu dan Dia memelihara segala sesuatu”. Hal yang seperti ini diakui oleh seluruh manusia, tidak ada seorang pun yang mengingkarinya. Orang-orang yang mengingkari hal ini, seperti kaum atheis, pada kenyataannya mereka menampakkan keingkarannya hanya karena kesombongan mereka. Padahal, jauh di dalam lubuk hati mereka, mereka mengakui bahwa tidaklah alam semesta ini terjadi kecuali ada yang membuat dan mengaturnya. Mereka hanyalah membohongi kata hati mereka sendiri. Hal ini sebagaimana firman Alloh “Apakah mereka diciptakan tanpa sesuatu pun ataukah mereka yang menciptakan? Ataukah mereka telah menciptakan langit dan bumi itu? sebenarnya mereka tidak meyakini (apa yang mereka katakan).“ (Ath-Thur: 35-36)

Namun pengakuan seseorang terhadap Tauhid Rububiyah ini tidaklah menjadikan seseorang beragama Islam karena sesungguhnya orang-orang musyrikin Quraisy yang diperangi Rosululloh mengakui dan meyakini jenis tauhid ini. Sebagaimana firman Alloh, “Katakanlah: ‘Siapakah Yang memiliki langit yang tujuh dan Yang memiliki ‘Arsy yang besar?’ Mereka akan menjawab: ‘Kepunyaan Alloh.’ Katakanlah: ‘Maka apakah kamu tidak bertakwa?’ Katakanlah: ‘Siapakah yang di tangan-Nya berada kekuasaan atas segala sesuatu sedang Dia melindungi, tetapi tidak ada yang dapat dilindungi dari -Nya, jika kamu mengetahui?’ Mereka akan menjawab: ‘Kepunyaan Alloh.’ Katakanlah: ‘Maka dari jalan manakah kamu ditipu?’” (Al-Mu’minun: 86-89).

Uluhiyah/Ibadah

Beriman bahwa hanya Allah semata yang berhak disembah, tidak ada sekutu bangiNya. “Allah menyatakan bahwa tidak ada Tuhan (yang berhak disembah) selain Dia yang menegakkan keadilan. Para malaikat dan orang orang yang berilmu (juga menyatakan demikian). Tidak ada Tuhan (yang berhak disembah) selain Dia yang Mahaperkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana” (Al Imran : 18). Beriman terhadap uluhiyah Allah merupakan konsekuensi dari keimanan terhadap rububiyahNya. Mengesakan Alloh dalam segala macam ibadah yang kita lakukan. Seperti shalat, doa, nadzar, menyembelih, tawakkal, taubat, harap, cinta, takut dan berbagai macam ibadah lainnya. Dimana kita harus memaksudkan tujuan dari kesemua ibadah itu hanya kepada Alloh semata. Tauhid inilah yang merupakan inti dakwah para rosul dan merupakan tauhid yang diingkari oleh kaum musyrikin Quraisy. Hal ini sebagaimana yang difirmankan Alloh mengenai perkataan mereka itu “Mengapa ia menjadikan sesembahan-sesembahan itu Sesembahan Yang Satu saja? Sesungguhnya ini benar-benar suatu hal yang sangat mengherankan.” (Shaad: 5). Dalam ayat ini kaum musyrikin Quraisy mengingkari jika tujuan dari berbagai macam ibadah hanya ditujukan untuk Alloh semata. Oleh karena pengingkaran inilah maka mereka dikafirkan oleh Alloh dan Rosul-Nya walaupun mereka mengakui bahwa Alloh adalah satu-satunya Pencipta alam semesta.

Asma wa Sifat

Beriman bahwa Allah memiliki nama dan sifat baik (asma’ul husna) yang sesuai dengan keagunganNya. Umat Islam mengenal 99 asma’ul husna yang merupakan nama sekaligus sifat Allah.

Tidak ada Tauhid Mulkiyah

Tauhid itu ada tiga macam, seperti yang tersebut di atas dan tidak ada istilah Tauhid Mulkiyah ataupun Tauhid Hakimiyah karena istilah ini adalah istilah yang baru. Apabila yang dimaksud dengan Hakimiyah itu adalah kekuasaan Allah Azza wa Jalla, maka hal ini sudah masuk ke dalam kandungan Tauhid Rububiyah. Apabila yang dikehendaki dengan hal ini adalah pelaksanaan hukum Allah di muka bumi, maka hal ini sudah masuk ke dalam Tauhid Uluhiyah, karena hukum itu milik Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala dan tidak boleh kita beribadah melainkan hanya kepada Allah semata. Lihatlah firman Allah pada surat Yusuf ayat 40. [Al-Ustadz Yazid bin Abdul Qadir Jawas]

Al-Quran adalah Kitab Tauhid Terbesar

Sesungguhnya pembahasan utama Al-Quran adalah tauhid. Kita tidak akan menemukan satu halaman pun yang tidak mengandung ajakan untuk beriman kepada Allah, rasul-Nya, atau hari akhir, malaikat, kitab-kitab yang diturunkan Allah, atau taqdir yang diberlakukan bagi alam semesta ini. Bahkan dapat dikatakan bahwa hampir seluruh ayat Al-Quran yang diturunkan sebelum hijrah (ayat-ayat Makkiyyah) berisi tauhid dan yang terkait dengan tauhid.

Karena itu tak heran masalah tauhid menjadi perhatian kaum muslimin sejak dulu, sebagaimana masalah ini menjadi perhatian Al-Quran. Bahkan, tema tauhid adalah tema utama dakwah mereka. Umat Islam sejak dahulu berdakwah mengajak orang kepada agama Allah dengan hikmah dan pelajaran yang baik. Mereka mendakwahkan bukti-bukti kebenaran akidah Islam agar manusia mau beriman kepada akidah yang lurus ini.

Bagi seorang muslim, akidah adalah segala-galanya. Tatkala umat Islam mengabaikan akidah mereka yang benar -yang harus mereka pelajari melalui ilmu tauhid yang didasari oleh bukti-bukti dan dalil yang kuat– mulailah kelemahan masuk ke dalam keyakinan sebagian besar kaum muslimin. Kelemahan akidah akan berakibat pada amal dan produktivitas mereka. Dengan semakin luasnya kerusakan itu, maka orang-orang yang memusuhi Islam akan mudah mengalahkan mereka. Menjajah negeri mereka dan menghinakan mereka di negeri mereka sendiri.

Sejarah membuktikan bahwa umat Islam generasi awal sangat memperhatikan tauhid sehingga mereka mulia dan memimpin dunia. Sejarah juga mengajarkan kepada kita, ketika umat Islam mengabaikannnya akidah, mereka menjadi lemah. Kelemahan perilaku dan amal umat Islam telah memberi kesempatan orang-orang kafir untuk menjajah negeri dan tanah air umat Islam.

Bidang Pembahasan Ilmu Tauhid

Ilmu tauhid membahas enam hal, yaitu:

1. Iman kepada Allah, tauhid kepada-Nya, dan ikhlash beribadah hanya untuk-Nya tanpa sekutu apapun bentuknya.

2. Iman kepada rasul-rasul Allah para pembawa petunjuk ilahi, mengetahui sifat-sifat yang wajib dan pasti ada pada mereka seperti jujur dan amanah, mengetahui sifat-sifat yang mustahil ada pada mereka seperti dusta dan khianat, mengetahui mu’jizat dan bukti-bukti kerasulan mereka, khususnya mu’jizat dan bukti-bukti kerasulan Nabi Muhammad saw.

3. Iman kepada kitab-kitab yang diturunkan Allah kepada para nabi dan rasul sebagai petunjuk bagi hamba-hamba-Nya sepanjang sejarah manusia yang panjang.

4. Iman kepada malaikat, tugas-tugas yang mereka laksanakan, dan hubungan mereka dengan manusia di dunia dan akhirat.

5. Iman kepada hari akhir, apa saja yang dipersiapkan Allah sebagai balasan bagi orang-orang mukmin (surga) maupun orang-orang kafir (neraka).

6. Iman kepada takdir Allah yang Maha Bijaksana yang mengatur dengan takdir-Nya semua yang ada di alam semesta ini.

Allah swt berfirman:

 “Rasul telah beriman kepada Al-Qur’an yang diturunkan kepadanya dari Tuhannya, demikian pula orang-orang yang beriman. Semuanya beriman kepada Allah, malaikat-malaikat-Nya, kitab-kitab-Nya, dan rasul-rasul-Nya.” (Al-Baqarah: 285)

Rasulullah saw. ditanya tentang iman, beliau menjawab,

 “Iman adalah engkau membenarkan dan meyakini Allah, para malaikat-Nya, kitab-kitab-Nya, rasul-rasul-Nya, hari akhir, dan taqdir baik maupun buruk.” (HR. Muslim).
