Chapter II
Discussion
A. Dawn Of Islam (3)
The non-believers were angry with the increasing number of people who declared their acceptance of the religion of Islam. They were full of arrogance and conceit, so they got together and decided to launch a campaign of harassment and provocation against the muslims. They accused the prophet of being a liar, a sorcerer and madman. They made every effort to stop the spread of Islam. But Islam slowly and surely continued spreading among them.
One day the leader of the non-believers decided to invite the prophet to a meeting to talk about his lies and stop him from spreading the new religion. In the meeting the non-believers said, “if you want wealth, then we are prepared to raise enough money for you to make you the richest among us. If it is honor and prestige you want, we will make your our king. If you are suffering from some kind of illness or possessed by some evil spirit, then we will send for the best doctor or the best healer to come and treat you or drive these evil sports away. But you have to stop calling people to Islam”. The prophet said that he did not want anything and didn’t suffer from any disease; all he wanted was to give them good tidings of Allah’s rewards and to warn them of His Wrath.
After no further efforts could be made to stop the spread of Islam they made up their minds to get rid of the prophet even by killing him if necessary. The only thing that stopped them doing that straight away was their fear of the prophet’s uncle Abu Talib. So they asked him to stop his nephew from spreading Islam, slandering their gods and mocking their beliefs, or they would fight him, his nephew and those who sided with him. Abu Talib wan in difficult position; he found himself in a real dilemma, torn between two difficult choice. Should he protect his nephew or let him be killed. He thought it might be a good idea if he could talk to Muhammad and try to persuade him in a nice way to give up Islam and end this rift between him and his people. So he called his nephew and told him what had happened with he quraysh people and their offer to him, he said, “So please save me and save yourself from trouble.” There was a pause. The prophet was just about to take a very important decision. The whole world was waiting his answer: would he continue declaring Islam or would he go with his uncle and give it all up.
He made up his mind and he chose what Allah had chosen for him. He said to his uncle, “By the name Allah, uncle. If your people were to bring the sun and place it in my right hand, and bring the moon and put it in my left hand to persuade me to give up Islam, I would not do so. I shall carry out this duty until Allah makes it triumphant or I die.” Abu Talib was full of surprise and admiration for his nephew. He was impressed by his courage, honesty and determination in his struggle to continue spreading the light of Islam.[1]

All the Arab tribes respected those of mecca and regarded them as people who looked after the house of God.
            When they started building they came to the place where they had to replace Al-Hajar al-Aswad, the black stone. From this moment the argument started. Who would have the honour of putting the stone in its place? Each tribe wanted to have this honour. They started arguing and this almost led to a fight. Some of them calld for a fight, and a blood bath threatened Mecca.
            One wise leader suggested that they should accept the judgement of the first man to enter the place. This suggestion was readly accepted, because nobody wanted this threat of a fight to continue. They all stood with they eyes facing towards the way wich led to the Ka’bah. Then they saw the prophet Muhammad coming towards them. At the time Muhammad had not claimed to be a prophet but he was the most highly respected man in Mecca, and renowned for his honestly trustworthiness. For this reason they used to call him “As-Siddiq Al Amin”, the trustworthy, the truthful, and when they sawhim coming all of them cried with appreciation. They all felt happy and at peace in their minds and their felt sure no harm would now befall any of them, and whatever Muhammad’s decision, it would be accepted by all.
            When they explained the problem he requested too bring a piece of cloth and he choose four men, one from each tribe. He then placed the stone on cloth and asked each of the four men to take the corner. The four men then shared carrying of  the stone until they came near the wall, and the prophet then took the stone in his hands and put it in its place in the wall. By making ths decision he was able to prevent the blood bath and peace prevailed Mecca. This, was the first day that people realized the outstanding wisdom of Muhammad and he came to be regarded as the most revered person in Mecca. This they was called “The day of peace”.[3]

The Second annual North American Competition for Qur’anic recitation took place at the mosque Foundation in Chicago on December 2, 1984. An audience of 400Muslim were treated to what, Insya Allah, will be an annual Islamic society tradition for excellence in the recitation of the Qur’an. The event was coordinated by brother Rasoul Penjwiny, Talat Sultan and Muhammad Nour who acted as the moderator for the program.
Before the more than 20 participant filled the hall with their eloquent recitation, Syeikh Ahmad Zaki Hammad delivered a very inspiring inauguration speech. Brother Maullice Buccaile, the author of the bible, Qur’an, and science and the origin of man, also gave an informative lecture on the harmony between the Qur’an and science. His lecture was followed by Brother Salman Nadvi’s timely lecture on the education of children.
The heart of the program was of course the recitation itself. They were three categories of reciters: those who memorized the entire Qur’an, who had memorized one-third of the Qur’an, and a special group for young children. In this category every one was presently stunned by the recitation of a small child of 2 years. The winner of the second category was brother Ahmad Muhyiddin Nadvi, and the winner of the first category was brother Omar Idliby. Winners will participate in the International Celebration for the Recital and Tajweed of the Holy Qur’an to be held, Insya Allah in Makkah Al-Mukarramah. Special appreciation should be extended to the judges who presided over the competition : namely Syeikh Ahmad Zaki Hammad Ghouth Nadvi and Muhammad al-Shengity.[5]

Latar Belakang Tidak banyak orang yang sangat mengetahui, kecuali para sejarawan bahwa Eropa umumnya dan Italia khususnya menjadi modern seperti dewasa ini, sebenarnya telah dimulai sejak zaman Renaissance . Jika zaman Renaissance dimulai sekitar abad ke-14 maka untuk menghasilkan Eropa modern seperti dewasa ini diperlukan kurang lebih lima abad. Modernisasi bagaimana pun memerlukan waktu, bisa panjang bisa pendek tergantung dari berbagai faktor. Dan kini bangsa Indonesia sedang memodernisasi diri dengan harapan dapat menjadi bangsa dan negara yang modern dalam waktu yang relatif singkat dibandingkan dengan bangsa-bangsa lain. Mungkinkah itu?
