Konsep Kerja sebagai Ibadat Menurut Perspektif Islam
Abstract
The notion of ibadah, worship in Islam has oftenly been mistakenly restricted to some rituals conducts which are clearly mentioned in the texts of the Qur’an and hadith. Therefore, these rituals must be conducted precisely according to what have been described in those texts. On the other hand, other daily activities to support our life are considered as worldly activities which have no relationship whatsoever with religious teachings, thus not considered as acts of ibadah. This misunderstanding is actually a result of some confusion regarding some important related concepts such as ibadah, mu’amalah and others according to the Islamic perspective. It is also arguably that the philosophy of dualism in the way people look at their worldly life and religious life is actually a manifestation of the strong grip of secularism which has been deeply rooted in our society.
Key words: the concept of ibadah; the concept of works; the concept of muamalah; dualism; integrated worship.
Abstrak
Pengertian ibadat kadangkala disempitkan kepada beberapa amalan ritual yang jelas dinyatakan dalam nas untuk dilakukan pada masa tertentu dan dengan cara yang tertentu sahaja. Aktiviti ibadat ini mesti dilakukan mengikut garis panduan tertentu yang ditetapkan oleh syariat Islam. Kerja-kerja mencari nafkah pula sama ada di kilang, pejabat, sawah ladang, laut samudera atau sebagainya dianggap sebagai pekerjaan dunia semata-mata bertujuan untuk mencari nafkah bagi mengisi perut sendiri dan ahli keluarga. Dengan itu, ia terkeluar sama sekali dari garis panduan serta lingkungan ajaran agama dan tidak layak dianggap sebagai ibadah. Ini adalah antara pandangan yang popular dalam kalangan sebahagian ahli masyarakat Islam khususnya di negara ini. Pandangan ini sebenarnya menggambarkan satu kekeliruan yang besar terhadap beberapa konsep penting yang berkaitan. Untuk itu sedikit perbincangan akan dilakukan terhadap beberapa konsep yang berkaitan seperti konsep ibadat, konsep mu’amalat (adat) dan konsep kerja menurut perspektif Islam. Artikel ini juga akan menghujahkan bahawa pemikiran pemisahan (dualisme) dalam kehidupan antara agama dengan dunia sebenarnya berpunca daripada menebalnya fahaman sekularisme dalam masyarakat kita.
Kata kunci: konsep ibadat; konsep kerja; konsep muamalat; dualisme; kesepaduan ibadat.
