Reading

Allah says,''Read with (call) the name of your Lord is the Creator. He has created man from a clot. Read, and thy Lord is Most Generous, who taught (man) with the mediation of kalam. He taught the human what he does not know.''(Surah Al-Alaq: 1-5).
Iqra, read command is so important that was repeated twice in the series of the first revelation. Maybe we were surprised to see that the command is addressed first reading to someone who never read a book anything before falling Koran (Sura 29: 48), even he was not good at reading a paper until the end of his life (Sura 7:157). However, there are two things that cause us no longer feel surprised. First, the meaning iqra itself. Iqra is interpreted by this read is taken from the original meaning of the word qira'atan who gather. So, from this original meaning can be understood that the command does not require reading the written text that is read, nor should be pronounced to be heard by others. Second, the read command target is not only personally addressed to the Prophet Muhammad solely, but also for mankind throughout the history of humanity, because the realization of these orders is the key to happiness pacer worldly life and ukhrawi. ''Anyone who wants success in the world, so Reach for the science. Anyone who wants success in the Hereafter, so Reach for the science. And anyone who wants success in the world and the Hereafter, then Grab them with science,''so the word of the Prophet Muhammad.





This read command is a command of the most valuable given to mankind. Therefore, reading is a road that would lead a person reaches a degree of perfect humanity. So, no exaggeration to say that reading is the main requirement in order to build a glorious civilization, which according to human nature. Allah says,''God will exalt those who believe among you and those who were given some degree of science.''(Surah Al-Mujadalah: 11).





Thus, reading is first and foremost requirement for successful people. Thus, it is not surprising if you read the first guidance given by Allah to mankind. However, very regrettably, the majority of Muslims are associated directly with this command is still low in the make it happen, so that Muslims become the people of imitators. In some areas they are far behind compared to other peoples. In order to realize the importance of reading, it helps us reflect on the statement famous Muslim sociologist, Ibn Khaldun,''The loser tends to tow a win in terms of clothing, vehicles, and other forms of weapons used. In fact, tend to imitate in every way of life.''And Allaah knows best-bish shawab.
