Penghayatan Akidah di Terengganu
Abstract
This article is features the `aqidah practiced in the state of Terengganu. This is highlighted through three major groups within the Muslim community in Terengganu. Firstly, the sultan of Terengganu, has been found to practice the teachings of Islam both in his personal life. Interestingly, the sultan not only practiced the Islamic teachings in his life, but also he has also implemented sharia law as the supreme law in the state successfully. Secondly, the ulama in the state always guide the sultan to uphold the `aqidah of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama`ah. Due to their noble service in strengthening the `aqidah, many of them received status, rank and honour from the sultan. Finally, the civilians in the state have prove to be obedient and respectful to the sultan and ulama. In fact, when the Western imperialists came to interfere in the state affairs, they tried to stop the intervention of enemy under the slogan of jihad in Allah’s way. That was a manifestation of `aqidah practice. As a result, the combination of the sultans, ulama and civilians have beautifully illustrated themselves to be servants of Allah in practicing the `aqidah. Therefore, the title state as ‘Darul Iman’, is an accurate one.
Keywords: Aqidah practicing; Sultan; Ulama; Ahl al-Sunnah wa Jama`ah;, Terengganu.
Abstrak
Artikel ini menampilkan tentang penghayatan `aqidah di negeri Terengganu. Sehubungan dengan itu, penghayatan ini ditonjolkan menerusi tiga kumpulan utama dalam kelompok masyarakat Islam di negeri ini. Pertama ialah Sultan-sultan Terengganu didapati menghayati `aqidah Islam sama ada dalam kehidupan peribadi, keluarga ataupun urusan pentadbiran negeri. Menariknya, mereka berjaya mengimplementasikan syariah Islam sebagai undang-undang utama di negeri ini. Kedua ialah para ulama yang sentiasa membimbing para sultan untuk menghayati `aqidah Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama`ah. Disebabkan khidmat mulia mereka dalam mengukuhkan `aqidah, ramai dalam kalangan mereka mendapat pangkat, penghormatan dan kedudukan di sisi sultan. Akhirnya, orang-orang awam di Terengganu terbukti patuh dan hormat kepada sultan dan ulama. Malah, apabila imperialis barat datang untuk campur tangan dalam urusan pentadbiran di negeri Terengganu, mereka cuba menghentikan gangguan musuh itu dengan slogan jihad di jalan Allah. Usaha ini, membuktikan orang awam di Terengganu turut menghayati `aqidah Islam. Oleh hal yang demikian, kombinasi sultan, ulama dan orang awam di Terengganu telah dengan cantiknya menjelaskan mereka sebagai hamba-hamba Allah yang menghayati `aqidah Islam. Justeru, gelaran “Darul Iman” bagi negeri Terengganu amatlah tepat.
