Faith to the Book of GOD

Understanding of faith in the scriptures of God is to trust and believe in my heart that Allah SWT has lowered his book to the books of the prophets or apostles that contains God's revelations to be conveyed to all mankind. In the Qur'an mentioned that there are 4 books of God. Torah was revealed to the prophet Moses, the Psalms to David as prophet, the prophet Isa Gospel, and the Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Qur'an as the holy book last has always maintained that the privilege of alteration or falsification of authenticity as the word of God follows. 

                                                 

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.(Al-Hijr: 9)

A. Understanding the Book and Suhuf

The Book is a collection of God's revelations given to the apostles to teach humans as a guide and a way of life. Suhuf the revelation given to the apostle, but still in the form of separate sheets.

There are similarities and differences between the book and suhuf

Equation

Book and suhuf both revelation from God.

Difference

    The contents of the book is more complete than the content suhuf
    Book recorded while suhuf not recorded.

Allah states that the believer must believe in the scriptures that fell before the Qur'an as the word of God mentioned in the following.

                                

O you who have believed, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah , His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray. (Surah an-Nisa: 136)

In addition to lowering the scriptures, God also lowered suhuf the form of sheets that have been handed down to the prophets such as Abraham and Moses as Word of Allah SWT.

                                                           

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses (Al-A'la: 19) 

The books of God serve to lead people to believe in Allah and that which was revealed to His apostles as described in the following words of Allah.

                                  

Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."(Surah al-Baqara: 136)

B. Behavior that reflects God's Faith To Book

1. Convinced that the Book of Allah is true comes from God.

2. Making the book of God to Guide (hudan) derived a special book for us

3. Understand the content of the ingredient.

4. Practice in everyday life

            Human beings, especially Muslims must believe that Allah SWT has reduced him to the books of the Prophets or Messengers as a way of life for his people respectively. Qur'an as the last Book of Allah and complement previously been revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Efforts to understand the content of the content of the Qur'an, there are several steps that we need to live are as follows.

    The first phase, we need to know and understand the philosophy of Islam as a religion that gets the pleasure of Allah SWT.
    The second phase, we must know the manners reading the Qur'an.
    The third stage, we must know that the Qur'an was a lot of chapters or verses containing such imagery or metaphor.
    The fourth stage, we have to use common sense when studying and understanding the Qur'an.
    Fifth, we must know that in a lot of Qur'an sura or verse of wisdom or can not be directly interpreted, but have implied meaning.
    The sixth stage, we must know that the Qur'an was not revealed to pester humans and should put the surah or verses that are easier and firm intention to begin immediately.
    Seventh stage, we must know that the verses in the Qur'an is divided into two kinds (Surah Ali Imran: 7): first, muhkamât verses the verses that firm, clear and easy to understand meaning. Muhkamât verses are the main points of the content of the Qur'an to be performed by humans and used as a guide in life. Second, mutashabihat verses are verses that are difficult to understand, and only God knows the meaning and intention.
    Eighth stage, we have to run the contents of the content of the Qur'an according to the circumstances and the ability of each (Q. 12: 22, 4: 36, 65: 7, 2: 215, 3: 92, 2: 269).
 

C. Faith in Wisdom of the Books of God

There are lessons that can contemplated why Allah sent down the Qur'an to mankind which are as follows:Made man no trouble, or that human life be safe, serene, peaceful, prosperous, happy world and the hereafter, and got the pleasure of God to live a life.  
Allah says:
 

                                                      

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed.(Surah Taha 2)

To prevent and resolve disputes among fellow human beings caused disagreement and feel proud of what respectively, despite dissent be permitted 
Allah says:

                                    

And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.(Surah Yunus 19)

As a guidance and a mercy for people who believe and fear 

                                        

This [Qur'an] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allah .(Surah Ali Imran: 138)

 To justify the previous scriptures ( for further information see Surah Al Maida:48)

                                 

And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.

To inform all people that the previous prophets and messengers have Shariah (rules) and his own way in the worship of God,Allah says

                        

For every religion We have appointed rites which they perform. So, [O Muhammad], let the disbelievers not contend with you over the matter but invite them to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.(Surah Al-Hajj: 67)

To inform that God does not love his monotheistic religion (Islam) were divided,Allah says:

                                                     

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators

                                                   

Who have made the Qur'an into portions.

(Surah Al-Hijr: 90-91),

                                            

Indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

                                     

And [yet] they divided their affair among themselves, [but] all to Us will return.

 (Surah Al Anbiya: 92-93), 

                                        

And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

                                   

But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

                                                  

So leave them in their confusion for a time.

(Surah Al Mukminun: 52-54), 

 

                             

So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah . That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

                                 

[Adhere to it], turning in repentance to Him, and fear Him and establish prayer and do not be of those who associate others with Allah

                           

[Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has.

(Surah Ar Rum: 30-32), 

                           

O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah ; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.(Surah Al Maidah : 54),

                             

Indeed, those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and wish to discriminate between Allah and His messengers and say, "We believe in some and disbelieve in others," and wish to adopt a way in between -

                           

Those are the disbelievers, truly. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.

                              

But they who believe in Allah and His messengers and do not discriminate between any of them - to those He is going to give their rewards. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.

(Surah An Nisa: 150-152).  
To inform that the Qur'an contains God's commands, prohibitions of God, the laws of God, exemplary stories and also a collection of information about the fate and sunatullah for all people and a lesson for those who fear Allah. 

Qur'an is a collection of instructions of God for all mankind since the Prophet Adam to Prophet Muhammad SAW is used as a way of life for people who fear of Allah for Islam as long as there reaching heaven and earth (for further information see Surah Maryam: 58, Ali Imran: 33 & 88-85, Shad: 87, and At takwir: 27)Humans want to attain prosperous living survivors, both in the world and in the Hereafter should use the guidelines to live a straight and correct the Qur'an (Surah Maryam further information see: 58, Ali Imran: 33 & 84-85, and At takwir: 27) .
