MAJALAH AL-HIKMAH EDISI KE 12

Conclusion For the relevant future as Samuel hopes, the civilization must coexist with others around the world. In this short essay, I would like to suggest 3 ways on how to learn to coexist with the others civilization so that we can have a better world with the great civilization without facing any tears of blood. 1) Believe in God. Every person must believe in their god because if they believe in their god, they do not kill or fight with other human being. Allah says: “Believe in Allah” (al-Quran), same to other religion said, “God is life” (John 14:6). 2) The brotherhood and good society. Ibn Khaldun said if human work hard to gain power and influence, they can form and develop a government and civilization. Allah also says: “The believers are but brothers” (49:10). And He says: “Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely” (2:32). And Christianity also said: “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground” (Genesis 1:26-28). 3) Respect each other. Rasulullah said: “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim. So he should not oppress him nor should he hand him over to (his satan or to his self which is inclined to evil). Whoever fulfills the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever removes the troubles of his brother, Allah will remove one of his troubles on the Day of Resurrection; and whoever covers up the fault of a Muslim, Allah will cover up his fault on the Day of Resurrection (Muttafaqun alayh). The same things what Christianity ask to his people: “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen” (John 4:20). In conclusion, if we implement it in our heart these three ways, there are no clash of civilization. Dr. Mahathir even said: “There is no New World Order today, only the Old World Order where might is right and the devil takes the hindmost” (Mahathir, 2004). In sh ā Allah. 17
