Kapanlagi.com - Islam first came down in Arabia. Islamic teachings then spread throughout the world through preaching. However, until now, there are still many terms in Islam that use Arabic language. Fasiq is one of them. Therefore, the meaning of fasiq is important for every person who practices Islam.
In Islam, generally, fasiq is defined as a term for people who do not believe in Allah SWT or people who commit sins. However, as a Muslim, we need to be careful in using the term fasiq. Because in any case, only Allah SWT has the right to classify humans into the group of fasiq people.
So as not to get caught up and avoid misunderstandings, we also need to understand the true meaning of fasiq. Therefore, just read the following review that kapanlagi.com has summarized from various sources.
1. The Meaning of Fasiq
As mentioned earlier, fasiq is a word or term in Arabic. However, now fasiq has also been absorbed into the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI). According to KBBI, the meaning of fasiq includes an attitude of not caring about God's commands. Fasiq is also defined as a person who believes in Allah SWT, but refuses to practice His commands, and does what is forbidden.
Meanwhile, if viewed etymologically or based on the origin of the word, in Arabic the meaning of fasiq is to come out of something. Coming out in this case can mean deviating from what should be done. Meanwhile, according to terminology, fasiq is someone who witnesses something, but refuses to believe and implement it.
The meaning of fasiq in Islamic teachings is still related to both etymological and terminological explanations. In Islam, fasiq is defined as someone who deviates or comes out of Allah SWT's commands and the teachings of the Prophet and Messenger.
2. Explanation of the Meaning of Fasiq According to the Quran
Fasiq is a term that must be understood by every Muslim. In the Quran, the explanation of the meaning of Fasiq is also mentioned in several verses. Here are some Quranic verses that explain the meaning of Fasiq.
1. Surah Al-Baqarah verse 27, which means:
"(That is) those who break the covenant of Allah after it is ratified and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers."
2. Surah Al-A'raf verse 179, which means:
"They have hearts with which they do not understand (the Quran), and they have eyes with which they do not see (the signs of Allah's power), and they have ears with which they do not hear (the Quran)."
3. Surah Al-An'am verse 49, which means:
"And those who deny Our verses will be afflicted with punishment for their continuous sinning."
4. Surah Al-Hashr verse 19, which means:
"And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient."
3. Two Types of Fasiq People
In Islam, it turns out that Fasiq people can be divided into two groups. To understand the meaning of Fasiq more deeply, of course, we need to know the difference between these two groups of Fasiq people. Here is a brief explanation.
1. Fasiq Kafir
The first group of Fasiq people is the Fasiq Kafir. As the name suggests, this group of Fasiq people are those who are not obedient to the teachings of Islam because they have not yet believed in Allah SWT.
People who are Fasiq in this group are also considered to have deviated from the path of truth, entered into error, and disobeyed Allah SWT.
2. Fasiq Fajir
The second group of Fasiq people is the Fasiq Fajir. The group of Fasiq Fajir people are those who are not obedient to the teachings of Islam, even though they have already believed in Allah SWT. In other words, they are already Muslims but still violate Allah's commandments.
Those who are included in this group are those who drink alcohol, consume forbidden foods, commit adultery, and engage in other sinful activities.
4. Characteristics of a Fasiq Person
Every Muslim not only needs to understand the meaning of fasiq, but also must know the characteristics of a fasiq person. This is because by doing so, a Muslim can be more careful in maintaining their behavior so as not to be included in the group of fasiq people. Here are some characteristics of a fasiq person.
1. Denying the promise to Allah SWT to worship and obey Him as in the declaration of faith.
2. Not willing to obey the commands of Allah SWT, and ignoring the provisions of Islamic law.
3. Fasiq people also show enmity towards fellow believers and maintain good relations with non-believers.
4. Fasiq people also like to do evil and create chaos on earth.
5. They like to sever family ties and do not hesitate to take away the rights of others.
Those are some explanations of the meaning of fasiq. Hopefully, this is useful and can increase your faith and knowledge as a Muslim. Ameen.
