Abraham
Posted on January 5, 2012 |
Abraham is the Semitic people with an estimated original name Abram was born around 2166 BC. That there are differences about the genealogy of Abraham geneologis. In the Book of Genesis, the genealogy of Abram is mentioned as the son of Terah, the son of Nahor I, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, son Arkpakhsad, son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared , Mahaleel child, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, son of Adam, while in the book of the Koran calls Abraham as the son of Azar. Abraham is a figure of a prophet chosen by god to convey His message to the ground. Stability and strength of his faith, and Abraham had to prove his love to god, more than his love for his son. Back, he was chosen by god then promised to Abraham and his descendants to bring them the rulers of the world and provide a “Promised Land”, an area which is the powerhouse of the offspring later.
Milla historical origin of Jewish, Christian, (Christianity) and Islam certainly can not be removed only from the roots of his theology of Abraham. and Abraham himself as the central figure. In Jewish tradition Abraham is the recipient of an agreement (Agreement) between the native people of the Hebrew God. In the tradition remains, and Abraham is the grandson of the original agreement with the leading receiver formative then as far as a mosaic of God’s will, while the second agreement was made believed in Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, the Islamic tradition, Abraham is important to know the manifestation of a journalist with a strong faith and firm monotheist (hanif Muslim), and the operator Milla God ordered Abraham to be taught to their children and all mankind.
Abraham, the friend of God, lived for about eight generations after Noah’s death. The main thing that can not be separated from the figure of Abraham God’s new covenant with him. Many theologians referred to the agreement as a covenant between God and man, after he first covenant made with Noah. However, the covenant people of God begins when the prophecy of Adam. Logical, it is impossible to execute the termination God Adam and his descendants if not preceded by a contractual agreement between them, where the agreement was always contains rules that govern life, commands and prohibitions (as law).
Abraham was a prophet and a leader committed to all people, regardless of origin of biological descent. This also means that Abraham brought Milla and the universal mission (rahmatanlil’alamin). When Abraham himself as a leader who promised to all people means that the children of his generation as applicable. Therefore, the religious doctrine that every prophet was sent only to their own country (local prophet) is a distortion. Similarly, the universality of the holy book he was carrying also applies to all mankind, all races, not just specific to the child or the children of Israel Ismail alone. In his holy gods emphasize that the law and the gospel is a handbook for all mankind, so that the Quran. If the scriptures as the word of the prophets and apostles are universal, the meaning of the apostle as a transmitter of universal messages because they are acting on the instructions of revelation in the Scriptures.
All leadership and mission of the prophets are truly universal, although at the beginning of his prophetic or state of their lives began preaching in accordance with the order. This is because each country has its own historical roots of the masses, so that every prophet and apostle began his mission of his own people.
Every prophet and messenger sent by God to be assigned to free mankind from tyranny. And what the tyranny of God? Is a bad way to make mistakes, sin, something that is not in accordance with the teachings / commandments of God. Confirms that the tyranny of pure spirit (sin) YAG biggest part of his idolatry, adultery and betrayal of faith, and sin not forgiven by Him. Not surprisingly, the heathen will be judged by God as being dirty, so naturally that their deeds vain.
Idolatry is closely related to the core of the faith in which faith itself is located on the agreement, allowing for a good man (subject) for the rule of law Ala. So the belief that his form is not limited to the issue of adherence to believe (the existence and power) of God as the creator of the universe. That is the problem of polytheism and belief is a matter of obedience to God. environment is to reject the law of God, making God’s law over the rule of law rivals. Actually, the essence of idolatry is when a person will follow the two laws at once in his life. In religious matters he is obedient to God’s rules, but other issues (social, economic and political) he jurisdiction of the country’s leaders.
So really the essence of the theology of Abraham is no god other than Allah, La ilaha illallah. Faithfulness and changes in the teaching of Abraham Tawhid (monotheism) which he called a Hanif Muslim, one who surrendered (obey) God’s system of rule of law in a consistent and straight. Sample numbers, although the parents hard and dedicated to the pagan nations. Jesus never said “no one can serve two masters. Because If so, he will hate the one and love the other, or he is devoted to one and hate the other. You can not serve God and mammon. Actually, the God of Abraham is a jealous God.
