Understanding Islamic Rules

Islam governs the lives of its followers with rules that are simple but carry profound meaning. From aspects of worship, such as prayer and fasting, to social relationships, such as maintaining respectful speech and honoring neighbors, these rules are not just forms of obedience but also serve as guides for leading a more harmonious life. By understanding and following these rules, we can achieve a balanced life in physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects.

In everyday life, we encounter many rules, such as maintaining cleanliness (thaharah), ensuring food is halal, and protecting the rights of others. Each of these rules has a good purpose, designed for personal and communal benefit. Some rules even aim to protect us from things that may harm our mental and physical well-being.

To learn more about Islamic rules, you can read our previous article: "Islamic Rules in Simple Words." There, the rules are explained in a light and easy-to-understand language. We will not elaborate further here, as the basic explanations you need are already available in that previous article.

Examples of Islamic Rules and Their Benefits

In Islam, the rules taught are not only obligatory but also bring numerous benefits in daily life.

For instance, wudu is not merely a ritual of purification before worship but also helps maintain physical and mental cleanliness. Being dutiful to parents is another fundamental principle in Islam, fostering respect and love, which positively impacts family relationships.

Additionally, justice is a key principle. By practicing fairness, we can build healthy and harmonious relationships in our surroundings, avoid conflicts, and foster trust. Each of these rules has a purpose that benefits our lives both socially and spiritually. Through this article, we will take a closer look at how each Islamic rule brings positive impacts to our daily lives.

Wudu and Its Benefits

Wudu is one of the essential rituals in Islam performed before worship, especially prayer. It is not only about cleansing specific body parts but also involves special rules to maintain both physical and spiritual cleanliness. This process helps us better prepare ourselves according to Sharia before worshiping Allah.

There are several basic rules in wudu that must be observed, such as washing the face, hands up to the elbows, wiping over part of the head, and washing the feet up to the ankles. Each step carries its own significance and is performed with the intention of purifying oneself before worship. Allah says:

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا قُمْتُمْ اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ فَاغْسِلُوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ وَاَيْدِيَكُمْ اِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوْا بِرُءُوْسِكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ اِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِۗ 

O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles.^[1] 

In addition to being a requirement for valid prayer, wudu also provides health benefits. Regular wudu helps maintain skin cleanliness, reduces the risk of infection, and refreshes both body and mind. Wudu can be a simple way to maintain personal purity.

One of the spiritual benefits of wudu is that it can erase minor sins. This is explained in the following hadith:

مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوْءَ خَرَجَتْ خَطَايَاهُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ ، حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَظْفَارِهِ

Whoever performs wudu with perfection, his sins will depart from his body, even from under his nails.^[2] 

مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْوُضُوئَيْنِ

Whoever performs wudu by washing his hands three times, rinsing his nose three times, washing his face and both hands three times, wiping his head three times, and washing his feet three times, then says, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger,' before speaking again, then his sins between the two wudu will be forgiven.^[3] 

مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ  يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوْءَ ثُمَّ يَقُوْلُ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ , إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ 

None of you performs wudu and perfects his wudu, then says, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, the One with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger,' except that the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter through whichever gate he wishes.^[4] 

Not only that, but on the Day of Judgment, the body parts that we wash and wipe during wudu will shine with light. This light will be a distinguishing sign for us as the followers of Prophet Muhammad, differentiating us from other nations. He said:

إِنَّ أُمَّتِيْ يَأْتُوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرَّا مُحَجَّلِيْنَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوْءِ ، فَمَنْ اِسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطِيْلَ غُرَّتَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

Indeed, my ummah will come on the Day of Judgment with their faces, hands, and feet shining due to the traces of wudu. So, whoever among you is able to prolong the light, let him do so.^[5] 

Being Dutiful to One’s Parents and Its Benefits

Being dutiful to one's parents is one of the core values in Islam. It is not only about fulfilling obligations but also about showing respect, affection, and devotion to those who raised us. Islam places great importance on honoring parents, considering it a noble and blessed act, equivalent to worshiping Allah. Allah says:

قُلْ تَعَالَوْا اَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ اَلَّا تُشْرِكُوْا بِهٖ شَيْـًٔا وَّبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسَانًاۚ 

Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment."^[6] 

وَقَضٰى رَبُّكَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْٓا اِلَّآ اِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسٰنًاۗ اِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ اَحَدُهُمَآ اَوْ كِلٰهُمَا فَلَا تَقُلْ لَّهُمَآ اُفٍّ وَّلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيْمًا

Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and to parents, good treatment. If one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them, "uff," and do not repel them, but speak to them a noble word.^[7] 

The Quranic verse above explains the high status of parents in Islam. They are the reason for our existence in this world, and being dutiful to them is one of the ways we express gratitude for this blessing.

With pride, I would like to say that my mother's name is Anifah and my father's name is Manan Buhari. They are both a great gift from Allah. Their love for me is true and unconditional. I am extremely proud to be their son.

In addition, the following hadiths also explain the importance of being dutiful to one's parents:

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَأْذِنُهُ فِيْ الْجِهَادِ، فَقَالَ : أَحَيٌّ وَالِدَاكَ؟، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَفِيْهِمَا فَجَاهِدْ

A man came to the Prophet Saw asking for permission to go for jihad. The Prophet then asked, "Are your parents still alive?" The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet Saw said, "Be good to both of them."^[8] 

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ، مَنْ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ بِحُسْنِ صَحَابَتِيْ؟ قَالَ : أُمُّكَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ مَنْ ؟ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أُمَّكَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ مَنْ ؟ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ ؟ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَبُوْكَ

A man came to the Messenger of Allah Saw and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who is most deserving of my good treatment?" He replied, "Your mother." The man then asked, "Who after her?" He replied, "Your mother." The man asked again, "Who after her?" He replied, "Your mother." The man then asked, "Who after her?" He replied, "Your father."^[9] 

رِضَا اللهِ فِي رِضَا الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَسَخَطُ اللهِ فِي سَخَطِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ

The pleasure of Allah is in the pleasure of the parents, and the anger of Allah is in the anger of the parents.^[10] 

The hadiths mentioned above emphasize the importance of maintaining good relationships with both parents and seeking their blessings in every step of life.

Being dutiful to one's parents is not just about fulfilling their wishes, but also about taking care of them in their old age. Accompanying, nursing, and listening to them attentively are forms of devotion that are highly valued in Islam. This also helps us appreciate the sacrifices they have made.

In addition to being a form of respect, being dutiful to one's parents has direct benefits in our lives. Many people feel that blessings and ease in life often come as a result of the prayers and blessings of their parents. This serves as a motivation for us to always maintain a good relationship with them.

By making it a habit to be dutiful, we also learn important lessons about love, patience, and wisdom. These values are incredibly useful in our social relationships, making us more caring and empathetic towards others.

Therefore, being dutiful to our parents is not just an obligation, but also an opportunity to gain blessings in life and learn many valuable lessons. Let us continue to honor and respect them for the betterment of both our worldly and eternal lives!

Justice and Its Benefits

Justice is a very important value in Islam and daily life. Islam teaches that being just does not only mean giving others their due rights, but also being objective, impartial, and placing things in their proper context. In the Qur'an, Allah says:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكُّرُونَ

Indeed, Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin; He forbids all shameful deeds, injustice, and rebellion; He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition.^[11] 

The Quranic verse above explains that justice is a direct command from Allah that must be implemented in all aspects of life, from the family to the broader society.

Justice encompasses fairness within the family, in social interactions, in the workplace, and even in making small decisions. Islam teaches that being just is a way to maintain balance in life and cultivate healthy relationships with others. By acting justly, we help preserve peace and avoid conflicts that may arise due to injustice.

Prophet Muhammad also said:

إِنَّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ عِندَ اللهِ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ عَنْ يَمِينِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِينٌ الَّذِينَ يَعْدِلُونَ فِي حُكْمِهِمْ وَأَهْلِهِمْ وَمَا وَلُوا

"Indeed, those who are just in the sight of Allah will be on pulpits of light to the right of the Most Merciful, and both His hands are right. They are those who act justly in their rulings, towards their families, and in the leadership entrusted to them.^[12] 

The hadith above explains the immense reward promised for those who consistently act justly in life.

The benefits of justice are clearly felt in interpersonal relationships. When we are just, others are more likely to respect us, and we will gain their trust. Justice also prevents the emergence of envy or grudges that can damage social bonds.

Being just also makes us more sensitive to the needs of others. This attitude trains us not to be selfish and to appreciate others more, thereby strengthening and harmonizing our social relationships.

So, let us implement justice in our lives. By being just, we not only fulfill the command of Allah but also gain many benefits, both for ourselves and for those around us.

For example, when we neglect to maintain wudu, fail to honor our parents, or act unjustly, there are consequences that can affect our spiritual health and inner peace.

Tips for Avoid Violating Islamic Rules

Living according to Islamic principles is the aspiration of every Muslim. However, it can sometimes be difficult to avoid violating religious rules, especially in an environment full of temptations. Therefore, it is important for us to understand practical ways to stay on the right path. By avoiding things that may lead to violations, we can maintain our piety and achieve inner peace. This article will provide some tips for avoid violating Islamic rules and guidance on what to do if we have already committed a mistake.

First of all, it is important to always increase our understanding of Islamic rules. With deeper knowledge, we will more easily distinguish what is right and wrong. For example, learn the basics of Islamic law, such as wajib (obligatory), sunnah (recommended), makruh (discouraged), and haram (forbidden), so that we know which actions to avoid. Additionally, draw closer to Allah by increasing acts of worship such as salah (prayers) and reading the Quran. Salah can help us constantly remember Allah and keep us away from sinful actions. Allah says:

اُتْلُ مَآ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَۗ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ تَنْهٰى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاۤءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗوَلَذِكْرُ اللّٰهِ اَكْبَرُ ۗوَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُوْنَ

Read the Book (Quran) that has been revealed to you (Muhammad) and perform the prayer. Indeed, prayer prevents (one) from immoral and wrongdoings. And (know that) remembering Allah (through prayer) is greater (in its virtue than other acts of worship). Allah knows what you do.^[13]  

By regularly worshiping, our hearts become more sensitive to temptation.

Maintaining positive associations is also key to avoiding violations of Islamic rules. A good friend will remind us when we are about to make a mistake.

If we have already violated the rules of Islam, don't panic.

The first step to take is to seek forgiveness. Asking for Allah's forgiveness is the most important way to obtain His mercy.

In addition to seeking forgiveness, improve yourself by striving to leave the sin behind and not repeat it.

Striving for improvement is a tangible step in proving our repentance to Allah. Avoiding the same sin is a sign of sincere repentance.

Remember, Allah is the Most Forgiving and always accepts the repentance of His sincere servants. So, don't hesitate to return to Him, for everyone has surely made mistakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about violations of Islamic rules and solutions to avoid them:

What are some violations of Islamic rules that are often done unknowingly?

Violations often committed unknowingly include abandoning prayers, speaking ill, gossiping (ghibah), lying, or consuming haram food and drink. To avoid them, we need to increase self-awareness and always remind ourselves to follow the guidance of religion in every aspect of life.

How can I avoid committing sins in daily interactions?

Avoid associating with people who tend to lead us into sinful behavior. Choose friends who remind us of goodness and worship. Additionally, always guard your speech and behavior so as not to fall into actions that contradict Islamic teachings.

What should I do if I have neglected prayer or committed other sins?

If we have violated, the first step is to repent to Allah by seeking His forgiveness (istighfar). After that, make an effort to improve yourself and not repeat the same mistake. Sincere repentance will be accepted by Allah as long as we are determined not to repeat it.

Are there practical solutions to avoid committing sins in the digital world?

In the digital age, it is important to be cautious when using social media and the internet. Avoid spreading fake news, gossip, or content that does not align with Islamic teachings. Try to be more selective in choosing the information we receive and share.

How can I know if an action is haram or not?

To know whether an action is haram or not, we need to learn about Islamic laws through the Quran, Hadith, and the opinions of scholars. If in doubt, it is better to avoid the action or ask knowledgeable people to avoid falling into prohibited matters.

What can be done to avoid being tempted into committing major sins like adultery or theft?

Guard your eyes and heart from falling into prohibited actions. Pray to Allah to protect us from committing major sins. If we have already committed them, immediately repent sincerely and strive to improve ourselves. It is also very important to avoid places or situations that could trigger such actions.

What if I feel lazy to worship and sometimes violate Islamic rules?

Laziness in worship is often experienced by many people, but do not let laziness take over. Try to start with small, gradual acts, such as reading the Quran for a few minutes each day or performing sunnah prayers. Remember that every good deed, no matter how small, will bring reward.
