ABOUT THE BOOK

The book is titled Cahaya Takwa Menembus Kegelapan Maksiat. This book outlines the core point of piety as light-filled obedience versus oneness as a pitch-filled obedience. In it is also explained the meaning of piety and obedience, Piety is the light that guides everyone in his life, walking the straight path (as-shirath al-mustaqim) to achieve infinite happiness (world and hereafter). Meanwhile, intoxication is iniquity that leads to destruction and misery, and dumps the culprit into the valley of inequality.

This book consists of 12 parts containing the light of takwa, its understanding, urgency, the nature of the devout, and the fruit of takwa. On the other hand, the book also describes the darkness of the maksiat, its meaning, the cause‐cause; the entrance of the disobedience, the cause; its types and varieties; and the influence of disobedience on oneself and society.  It also explained how to overcome disobedience and treat the culprit. What is certain is that God loves the devout. They were given an honorable special position in the world and the hereafter. Poured out happiness and good luck in the world and the hereafter. God bestowed instructions on them to obtain useful knowledge and charitable shaleh. All their affairs are facilitated. God bestowed the light of knowledge and faith as lanterns so that they could walk in the dark of ignorance and health.

Of the 12 parts, there is one part that I like the most, namely part 7 which contains about the door, I think this section is interesting because it explains what the door is, well, from there I can tell it turns out that the disobedience could have come from the Lust of rage, eyes, ears, oral, mouth, hands, feet, and many others.

“... Help one another in virtue and piety, and do not help one another to sin and enmity. Be wary of Allah! Indeed, Allah is the most tormentor." (Al-Maidah [5]; 2)
