And in the middle of the ideological war between the West and Islam today, Islam can actually flourish and thrive there.

Although the Muslim population in the country that has the official name of the Argentine Nation is ranked fourth, its mission and Muslims religiosity is so high there. This can be proved by the establishment of a number of mosques in Argentina.

That migrants are actually a lot of introducing Islam to the people of Argentina. They migrated to the area of Argentina in the early 20th century, and formed settlements in the midst of the natives. They live in harmony and peaceful without any sense of suspicion and hostility.
As a country with the largest Muslim population in the region of South America, the teachings of Islam experienced a fairly rapid growth in Argentina. Therefore, the Muslim community in this country Tango felt the need to know the figure of the Prophet Muhammad, the messenger message of Islam to the people of Argentina. According to recent research survey agency Amaerika States. Pew Research Center, said that Argentina has a 800 thousand Muslims. However, several other institutions mentioned, the number of Muslims in Argentina to reach three million people.

Addressing Challenges Life


"Verily after difficulty there is ease, then you when you're done (from a business), do solemnly other matters."
(QS. Al-Insyirah : 6).

One of the gifts of God for man to live a life was to be many challenges. Therefore, more and more challenges and difficulties that confront Insya Allah opportunities closer to God even more.
The people who live without a challenge would not have a good level of sincerity in wishing begging His help. That is, an atmosphere of challenge and competition is part of the gift of God that makes our lives more interesting and sincerity as well as pumping more we can do. However, in terms of challenges and difficulties, it turns out many people who suffer from: stress, tension, confusion, anxiety. Why be so? Because his mind is always running into the ability to himself or to others who considered able to help solve the problem.

In fact, anyone who relies on such attitudes, then life would be seized with anxiety, fear and anxiety. Therefore, in the face all the challenges, difficulties and competition should keep attention to two things, namely:
First, refining Sunatullah, the natural laws that must be known and owned.
Second, improve efforts in pursuing the guidance of God, God's help.
Our skills to make a good system. Life orderly, neat and discipline will make us get a lot of success. In fact, the constraints of life without faith though. If someone is serious in improving his work achieve its goals by living with a disciplined and orderly, God willing, God will give thanks to the success of his nature Rahman. Despite these successes do not necessarily bring benefits to return to the netherworld. This Sunnatullah scope.
Our capacity will double if serious in perfecting sunnatullah and deeds that can come menjaadi way God's help.
As for God's help form itself is only He who knows, so do not necessarily fit with what we want and we are considering. May help it be the ability to get to know the actual skills themselves. It could also help form a strong impulse in himself, so a person who always motivated to get ahead. God also is propelling the people who have the potential and expertise. What is difficult in this world if he himself who had programmed all the plans and our ideals.
If God's help, then there will be no thing that comes confronting and hamper the pace of our journey. For example, we never knew of the coming of a danger, but God would know and would soon bring help. So if people are being helped by God. In addition he was able to do more, will also be prevented from anything that can harm both the world and in the Hereafter.
Therefore, an absolute for anyone who wants to face life with success, to continuously improve its ability to perform sunnatullah, natural laws are properly and to pursue Inayatullah. Insya Allah, we will succeed and excel in the world and gain eternal happiness in the hereafter

Become a Younger Generations Muslim Modern

Remember maqolah of Imam Syafi'i that we know "fata khayatul ilmi wa bil tuqo". This provides a lesson for the younger generation Muslim youth to fill the time with the knowledge and taqwa. Especially young, physically and mentally as well as the intellect is still able to work optimally.
When a young age, a person usually has a very high ideals. Idealism is linked with the mind, should be followed by the spiritual values of depth. Because, if reasonable minds based on science and spiritual values based on this godly run parallel, the youth will be meaningful and useful.
Science can be Ulumud Din (religious sciences) and Ulumud Dunya (world sciences), as in the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad:
"Anyone who wants the world, so with science, anyone who wants the Hereafter, then by science and anyone who wants them, so with science, too."

The world and the hereafter they sought to produce fresh fruit, hygienic and sweet, that is godly. Search knowledge must be grounded in the faith to the source of Sciences, which is God Almighty. As in Al-Quran surah Al-Mujadilah verse 11:
"Surely God will leave those who believe among you and the people who were given some degree of knowledge. And Allah knows what you do. " So also faith will be realized if based on the mastery of a broad and strong faith.
Mastery of knowledge, faith and robustness of godly perfection is what should be a goal for every Muslim youth today. If this goal can be achieved by the young generation Muslims, then they'll get labeled a younger generation of modern Muslims.
Many of the news that circulated in print and electronic media, the shift in the values of understanding about what is called modern youth. Many young people now think that was interpreted by modern spree, revelries, showing off wealth, drunkenness, promiscuity, etc.
Thirst and felt a delicacy in demand and explore the science should be owned by every generation of young Muslims. This could be the subject of capital prosecution success for science. Muslim young generation should be controlled and godly knowledge, so that there akam world balance of life and the hereafter.
World of science and technology have developed rapidly. Through the Internet, we can access information from around the world. Obviously, the information that one can increase the faith and the faith. But otherwise, there is also a belief it could lower, therefore, the mastery of science and technology both software and hardware, should be coupled with a mastery of the religious sciences are profound. Integration between science and godly expected this could be done by any of our Muslim youth in the present and the future.

Realization of Idul Adha in The Life


Nothing seemed to reverberate back echo Takbir "Allahu akbar (3X) Laillaha illallahu wallahu akbar Allahu akbar Walillahilham ". It's how much pleasure we get as a people we see Islam. History about prophet Ibraham had a dream to slaughter his son Ismail, in the letter of God describes the message of the Prophet Abraham to Ishmael and said:
"O...my Child, I saw in my dream that I will slaughter you. How do you think?" (QS.As-Saffat: 102) It was so touching Ismail answers in follow-up of As-Saffat the 102 verses of Allah Ismail also explained that the answer reads:
"O...my father! Carry out what God has commanded you. You'll see me Insya Allah as one who is patient and obedient to the commandment." Prophet Ibrahim believes that the dream was not just a dream or bed of flowers with no meaning, though the dream was not digested by natural reason, and although the dream was telling act outside but within reasonable limits the prophet Abraham believed and still stand firm on that dream came from God to be obeyed.

Before the slaughter carried out, Ibrahim Ismail asked that tied tightly so as not many moves, and that the two Ismail asked that her clothes so as not to get blood and Ismail moved when mother saw it, and the latter demanded that Ibrahim Ismail sharpened machete, and accelerate the process slaughter in order to ease the burden of suffering Ismail. With a sense of Prophet Ibrahim was moved then hugged and kissed his son Ishmael with love, he says "happy I have a son who worship God devotion to parents about a sincere heart gave herself to carry out the commandments of God."

From the story contained many lessons that we can take that point is "LOVE IN NEED SOMETHING must SACRIFICE". The higher and more noble expression of love of the guidance value of loving someone needs his sacrifice. This also sacrifice the more our love to God. And this is what trying to do by the Prophet Abraham to sacrifice even the lives of the most beloved person of Ismail as a proof of love of Allah SWT. We as followers should be follow because Allah SWT. Says: "Thus do We reward those who do this good. really fact. And test we ransomed him with a great momentous sacrifice for Abraham. we immortalized (good praise) among the people who came then ", and this is what is now called the Idul Adha.

Prepare your heart and strengthen my soul, we welcome Idul Adha in the form of our sacrifice to God. And for the future so that we are more obedient to Allah SWT. We have to sacrifice anything for our love to God, prayer time we have to sacrifice other things and execute the first command as well as our obligations as other Muslims.

The Virtue of Honest People

Characteristic of a true Muslim is to be honest. Not a true Muslim to say if someone still likes to lie and cheat. The Prophet SAW. his life is known as a trustworthy person. Because it honestly is a very good character and beautiful in the eyes of God.
Indeed, if we live in constantly maintaining honesty, then peace will be felt by all mankind. People who are always honest in every action and utterance, so he is of those lucky people, meaning he was lucky in the world and the Hereafter.
We all agree that honesty is a noble character. Honesty can lead people toward goodness. If someone has an honest and able to put some good, then he guided to heaven. Did not the Prophet Muhammad. to have said:
"Truly honesty good guide blood circumstances. And the good is led into heaven. Someone honest, then to the sight of Allah he will be honest and true. Meanwhile, the lie led someone to the crime. Then crime was dragged down to hell. Someone who used to lie, then to the side of Allah will remain a liar. "(Narrated by Bukhari Muslim)

People who like to be frank and honest in all things of this life, so he included a prophetic nature. Because, of course, the people who are honest love the truth. Because liked, so she always maintain conduct to use ruqyah from lies. So he tends to do good and uphold the truth of religion.
Surah Maryam in verse 71, Allah says:
"And name it in Al-kitab about Ibrahim, that he is a true and honest, and besides a prophet. "(Surah Maryam: 41).
Honesty is close to the truth. Truth is something he likes God. If God is pleased, then surely he will love. And His servants are honest, then later in the Day of Resurrection will be provided a fun place that is heaven.
Surely honesty and frankness will take a person into the path independence of the soul. Independent spirit free without bond. For people who are always honest, so he did not feel anxious and afraid of anyone. What he saw was going to say what it is. Nothing is hidden, and there lies the least.

Increasing Good Behaviour

All the people in this world will long for a peaceful life, safe and peaceful. They hoped to live together comfortably. Life like that can be realized if each of us to keep the good deeds and avoid evil deeds. For evil deed will only lead to unrest and conflict with each other.
As a Muslim is not fitting for us to reveal the bad behavior in the community. But the righteous should be diligent and always did good deeds that we are increasingly improving. To realize the behavior of good deeds, then we should enforce kindness evil, meaning we try to invite other people to goodness and prevent evil.
Rasulullah SAW. Said:
"Let the people you invite to goodness, even if you are not able to implement it, and forbid evil doers, even if you have not been able to stop it."
In the letter of At-Tauba verse 71, Allah says:
"Those who believe, whether male or female, in part be a helper to others, encourage good and forbid kemunkaran ... (QS. At-Tauba: 71).

Thus the characteristics of the faithful live in a society, then he will always create coolness. Even against fellow Muslims will be the guardian of evil. Therefore, against fellow Muslim brothers or to a non-Muslim should we take on the good.
Conversely, if in some places has civilizing disobedience, while the scholars are reluctant remember evil, then it will become worse and perish. That is, Allah will afflict them adzab. Adzab which come all kinds, perhaps in the form of disease, war, famine, natural disasters, etc.
Our goal should uphold kindness and eradicate evil is merely seeking the pleasure of Allah and not an iota of selfish elements.
Then, if the conditions that must be observed in doing good? Should a person has five requirements, namely science, sincere, using the right methods and good, be patient and do the things that God commanded.
Knowledge means we must have a science of religion in establishing good. Then, based on sincere intentions, just because of God. Not to be praised. Another condition is a precise method and correct. Let us give good advice, full of love and gentle saying. Do not give people advice that enables people to be offended. Then the next requirement is to be patient, it means we must be patient in facing all kinds of people. Patience is also waiting for a change of their attitude. And last we should do good deeds, carried out the orders of Allah and avoid all disobedience and modeled the behavior of the Prophet Muhammad.
