THE PLACE OF TAQWA IS IN THE HEART
In the book Miftah al-Shudur by Syaikh KH Ahmad Shohibul Wafa Tajul Arifin ra (Pangersa Abah Anom) it is stated that the sentence Taqwa is the sentence La Ilaha Illa Allah, and is also called the sentence tauhid, the sentence agaial-iklas (sentence of sincerity), the sentence al-Taqwa sentence Taqwa), sentenceal-thoyibah (good sentences), da'wah Al-Haq sentences (sentences of the realm of truth), 'urwah al-wutsqa sentences (sentences of the strongest grip), and tsaman al-jannah sentences (sentences of heavenly values).
Humans are always fluctuating, sometimes good and tending to be bad, namely always in the nafs al-lawwamah. Because of this, there is always a need for updates to his faith, in order to anchor Taqwa within him. The renewal referred to is the dhikr of La Ilaha Illa Allah, as in the hadith the Prophet Muhammad said: "Always renew your faith, (as friends) ask;
"How can we renew our faith, O Messenger of Allah?"
He became; By multiplying the chanting of La Ilaha Illa Allah."
Benefits of Taqwa:
The way out of various problems, as he said: Whoever is devoted to Allah, He will surely provide for him a way out. (QS Al-Thalaq/65:2)
Expanding his sustenance, as he says: And giving him sustenance from a direction he did not expect, (QS Al-thalaq/66:3)
Acceptance of good deeds: Indeed, Allah only accepts (sacrifice) from those who are pious, (QS Al-Maifah/5:27).
There are many benefits of Taqwa if it is connected with the Dhikr of the sentence Taqwa: Laa illaha illa Allah, as mentioned in the hadith:
Dhikrloh is (can open) knowledge about faith, liberation from hypocrisy, a fortress from Satan, and a savior from hell.
"It is not for the experts of La ilaha illa Allah (experts of Taqwa) to worry in their graves nor in their resurrection.
The heart (Al qalbu) is the place of Taqwa.
In a hadith it is stated that the place of piety is the Heart. Rasulallah SAW
Said: Taqwa is here, Taqwa is here, and he pointed to his chest.
Indeed, Allah does not look at your appearance or your body, but Allah looks at your heart and your deeds. (HR Muslim).
TEMPATNYA TAQWA DI HATI
Di dalam kitab Miftah al-Shudur karya Syaikh KH Ahmad Shohibul Wafa Tajul Arifin ra (Pangersa Abah Anom) disebutkan,bahwa kalimat Taqwa itu adalah kalimat La Ilaha Illa Allah, dan disebut juga kalimat tauhid, kalimat agaial-iklas (kalimat keikhlasan), kalimat al-Taqwa kalimat Taqwa), kalimat al-thoyibah (kalimat yang baik), kalimat da'wah Al-Haq (kalimat seruang kebenaran),kalimat 'urwah al-wutsqa (kalimat pegangan terkokoh, dan kalimat tsaman al-jannah (kalimat nilai surga).
Manusia selalu bersifat fluktuatif, kadang baik dan cenderung buruk,yakni selalu dalam nafs al-lawwamah. Karena demikian, selalu diperlukan pembaharuan-pembaharuan bagi keimanannya, demi menjangkarkan Taqwa di dalam dirinya. Pembaharuan yang dimaksud ialah dzikir La Ilaha Illa Allah, sebagaimana dalam hadits Rasulullah SAW bersabda : "Perbaharuilah selalu iman kalian, ( sebagai sahabat) bertanya ;
" Bagaimana memperbaharui iman Kami itu Ya Rasulullah ?'".
Beliau menjadi ; Dengan memperbanyak menyebut (Dzikir) La Ilaha Illa Allah".
Manfaat Taqwa :
Jalan keluar dari berbagai permasalahan, sebagaimana firman-nya : Barang siapa bertaqwa kepada Allah niscaya dia akan mengadakan baginya jalan keluar. (QS Al- thalaq/65:2)
Melapangkan rijki, sebagaimana firman-nya : Dan memberinya rijki dari arah yang tiada disangka-sangkanya, (QS Al-thalaq/66:3)
Diterimanya amal perbuatan: Sesungguhnya Allah hanya menerima ( korban) dari orang orang yang bertaqwa, (QS Al- Maifah/5:27).
Banyak sekali manfaat Taqwa itu apabila dihubungkan dengan Dzikir kalimat Taqwa : Laa illaha illa Allah, sebagaimana disebut hadits :
Dzikirloh itu (dapat membuka) pengetahuan tentang keimanan, pembebasan dari kemunafikan, benteng dari syetan, dan penyelamat dari neraka.
" Tidaklah bagi ahli La ilaha illa Allah (ahli Taqwa) kekhawatiran di dalam kubur mereka dan tidak pula dalam pembangkitan mereka.
Hati (Al qalbu) tempat Taqwa.
Di dalam sebuah hadits disebutkan bahwa tempatnya taqwa adalah Hati. Rasulallah SAW
Bersabda : Taqwa itu di sini, Taqwa itu di sini, dan beliau menunjuk ke dadanya.
Sesungguhnya Allah tidak melihat kepada bentuk rupamu tidak pula tubuhmu, melainkan Allah melihat kepada hati dan amal perbuatanmu. (HR Muslim).
