Constitutional Courtâs Chief Justice, Mahfud MD when giving a lecture in a program of Cosmo Sufi Club, Aku Muslim Indonesia Foundation in Graha Hapsah Muchtar, South Jakarta on Thursday (28/10).
Jakarta, MKOnline – Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (The Court) Mahfud MD conveyed one of the hadits regarding the importance of prayer in human life, namely that prayer is the marrow of worship. “Just like human beings, we will be powerless and even dead without marrow,” said Mahfud MD when giving a lecture in a program of Cosmo Sufi Club, Aku Muslim Indonesia Foundation on Thursday (28/10) evening in Graha Hapsah Muchtar, South Jakarta.
Mahfud said that if human beings wanted to live a better life and wanted their worship accepted, they should pray often. He gave an example of pure water drinking therapy by Muslim traditional healers. According to Mahfud, it was not the water which was effective but rather it was the prayer of the traditional healer as a religion expert.
This is similar to the zam-zam water known to be miraculous and able to bring blessings for those who drink it. Mahfud explained that the zam-zam water often heals as many people come to the zam-zam water spring, and be prayed for. Even the results of a research by experts in Japan has indicated that zam-zam water contains fine Chrystal compared to the other types of water.
Those who go to the Holy Land pray for the water sincerely and heartily. “As a result, zam-zam water is able to heal diseases and give peace,” conveyed Mahfud.
Therefore, continued Mahfud, pray heartily and Allah will grant your prayer in an unexpected manner. This is like what is written in hadist, where Rasulullah SAW said, “If Allah wants something to happen, Allah will make a way in an unthinkable and unexpected manner.”
Furthermore, Mahfud invited the audience to always see through and understand the ‘ocean’ of teachings of Rasulullah SAW as a firm yet gentle figure in society. “He associated well with all the people, performed human relations properly,” added Mahfud.
Before closing the lecture, Mahfud explained the philosophy of water. According to Mahfud, in life, human beings should have an attitude like water which always gives directions to positive things.
“Be a human being like water rather than like foam, because foam is useless,” said Mahfud. (Nano Tresna A./mh)
