BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: Sheikh Abdurrahman bin Abdullah Al-Idan from the Ministry of Endowments and Propagation Saudi Arabia said that the news of relocation of the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad Shallallaahu alaihi wasallam was being made an issue, Antaranews reported.

Sheikh Abdurrahman bin Abdullah Al-Idan said this, when asked about the news lately appeared in various media, while delivering Islamic Studies at the Mosque of Iman Syafii, Jl Raya AMD (front SMPN 19), Pemurus Dalam, Banjarmasin, Friday night (5/9).

According to Abdurrahman, who was accompanied by ustaz Ahmad Zainuddin, Lc as translator, the news was being made an issue by irresponsible parties.

When asked about ISIS, and whether it was similar to the Khawarij, Abdurrahman replied, this group does have properties of the Khawarij: among them, they point to fellow Muslims as disbelievers, and kill the souls who are not entitled to be killed. Meanwhile, he added, they (ISIS) even leave the idolaters alone.

As for the studies that took place after the Maghrib prayer, Abdurrahman explaining the eminence of Tawheed (La ilaha illallah) and danger of shirk.

Tawheed, said Abdurrahman, which is the key to heaven and distinguishes Muslim. But, it demands to put science before practicing the meaning and consequences (Surah Muhammad 47).

Tawheed has two pillars: the elimination of gods other than Allah (La ilaha), and determination that only Allah has the right to be worshiped (illallah).

How ever, Abdurrahman admits, people today are praying, fasting, offer zakat and perform hajj, but still pray or turn to other than Allah. They prayed at the graves, wear fetish wear, go to shaman, indulge in magic, and perform various other idolatrous deeds. Even more severe than the past Quraisyh pagans.
