Islam and Culture

وَما أَرْسَلْناكَ إِلاَّ رَحْمَةً لِلْعالَمِين
We have not sent thee, O Muhammad, but as a mercy for all human beings "(Surat al-Anbiya: 107)

Islam is a religion for the whole of nature, without distinction of race, skin color, economic status and other. This is evidenced by the word of Allah in the Qur'an:
In an institution must have rules that differ from one another. Likewise, Islam also has rules that are already enshrined in the Qur'an and Hadith of the Prophet.
Al Quran is a product of Allah  that should not be changed by anyone, even though the prophet.
Medium hadith are sayings, deeds, and assessments or actions companions of the Prophet who is left by the prophet.
Culture is the result of human creative works based on the mind. And this mind is strongly influenced by the environment, so that what is considered good by a particular society is not necessarily good for the community to another.
This is what distinguishes between culture and religion. But if religion wherever and whenever that is considered both by the religion is good, although sometimes by the human mind is considered not good.
For example, if a bad sector in a region considered gambling, but maybe in other areas would probably assume it's okay. But if we see the religious side of this  would be considered bad (evil deeds), why: 
1. Creating a lazy work
   People who like to gamble usually tired of thinking why should work if it will be to multiply the money from his gambling 

2. Make confict
People who lose will usually be thinking how he get back items that he bet. So it is not rare to encounter a lot of murders in the area of gambling
 
3. Justifies any ways
Obtaining goods and get back bets that folded a lot of rethinking of this course by a gambler. No matter whether by stealing, robbing and even killing though.

Speak Fisrt

Bismillahirrohmanirrohim, is a meaningful utterance.

1. Recognizing the power of Allah (god the entire universe).
2. Willing to all provisions Allah
3. Optimistic because the love Allah is very broad

Why:
Recognizing the power of Allah, by saying bismillahirrohmanirrohim means we acknowledge that Allah our god.
We're just a creature, and very much hope will be an outpouring of affection from him in every activity we do.

Willing to all provisions Allah, every creature has determined will, fortune, marriage, death. But we also do not know what has been ordained by Allah, we simply must try to either succeed or fail it is the right Allah

Optimistic, when we're trying, we are wrong if direct leaned that everything we do whether success or failure has been ordained by Allah without going to do the maximum. This means we are not willing to despair and what has been determined, is Allah forbid that. We must make extraordinary efforts of all our new lean on Allah. So we will not be too disappointed if it failed and will not be complacent if successful

Religion

Religion is a regulator for human beings to live they do not have chaos. But when the religious rules change according to the needs of this person can no longer be called a religion. Because religion is derived from God that only God is able to revise all rules of religion.
At this time we encountered a lot of religion to suit particular interests whether it be individuals, organizations and even countries.

In this post I will not discuss about other religions, but just going a little talk about Islam.

Islam is a religion of the Oneness of God, which distinguishes the god with the properties of creatures, which have the nature of beneficient (giving to all living creatures) and have the nature of merciful (love to the creatures who would obey all the rules). Who created all things according to content / provision respectively.

Islam arrived in the alienation and alien will appear at theend time . That quote the words of the Prophet Muhammad, and on the present alienation began to appear. People who obey the rules of religion would be considered strange by most people, and would be ostracized in the association. Fortunately for those who are considered foreigners.
