SAKTI BUKAN TANDA WALI
Poin Penting:
1. Standar Ukuran Wali
Kewalian itu dinilai bukan dari kemampuan supranatural, melainkan dari keteguhan dalam mengamalkan syariat dan sunnah. Seorang wali yang sebenarnya adalah mereka yang istiqamah menjalankan perintah Allah dan menjauhi larangan-Nya.
2. Kesaktian Bukan Jaminan Kelebihan
Orang-orang yang disebutkan dalam sejarah (seperti Bal'am, Firaun, Qarun, dan Musailamah) memiliki kekuatan luar biasa, namun mereka bukanlah wali
3. Ujian di Akhir Zaman
Di akhir zaman, orang-orang yang memamerkan kesaktian akan semakin banyak. Hal ini terjadi karena minat masyarakat yang cenderung lebih mudah terpesona oleh hal-hal yang bersifat gaib dan instan, daripada mempelajari ilmu syariat.
4. Ciri Guru yang Sebenarnya
Para ulama dan guru kita di pesantren tidak pernah memamerkan kesaktian, bukan berarti mereka tidak hebat. Justru kehebatan mereka terletak pada kesabaran, mengamalkan dan keteladanan dalam mengajarkan agama.
5. Peringatan Imam Syafi'i
Imam Syafi'i rahimahullah mengingatkan:"Jika kalian melihat seseorang bisa berjalan di atas air atau terbang di udara, janganlah kalian terpedaya, sampai kalian melihat apakah perilakunya sesuai dengan Al-Qur'an dan Sunnah atau tidak."
Oleh karena itu, menjadi prinsip kita untuk lebih berhati-hati. Menjauhi orang yang mengaku sakti atau bertingkah aneh bukanlah tindakan sombong, melainkan upaya menjaga keimanan agar tidak goyah

SPIRITUAL POWER IS NOT THE SIGN OF A TRUE SAINT
Key Points:
1. The True Measure of Sainthood
Being a righteous servant of God (Wali) is not measured by supernatural abilities or miracles. The true standard is consistency in following the divine laws (Syariat) and the teachings of the Prophets. A true saint is one who is steadfast in obeying God's commands and avoiding what is forbidden.
2. Power Does Not Guarantee Goodness
Historical figures such as Bal'am, Pharaoh, Qarun, and Musailamah possessed extraordinary power. However, because they deviated from the truth, they were not considered righteous or holy.
3. A Test of the End Times
In the end times, people who claim to have special powers will increase in number. This happens because society is often more attracted to the mysterious, magical, and instant results, rather than learning and practicing true religious knowledge.
4. The Mark of a True Teacher
Our religious scholars and teachers do not show off supernatural powers. This does not mean they are not great; rather, their greatness lies in their patience, good character, and dedication in teaching the right path.
5. The Advice of Imam Al-Shafi'i
Imam Al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) warned:
"If you see someone walking on water or flying in the air, do not be fooled by them. First, check if their actions and behavior are truly in accordance with the Holy Scripture and the Prophetic traditions."
Therefore, we must be very careful. Keeping a distance from those who claim to have magical powers or act strangely is not arrogance. It is simply a way to protect our faith and keep it strong

إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّجُلَ يَمْشِي عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَيَطِيرُ فِي الْهَوَاءِ ، فَلَا تَغْتَرُّوا بِهِ حَتَّى تَعْرِضُوا أَمْرَهُ عَلَى الْكِتَابِ وَالسُّنَّةِ
(البداية والنهاية:١٣ /٢٥١)
Jika kalian melihat orang berjalan di atas air atau terbang di udara, jangan tertipu, sampai kalian melihat prilakunya berdasarkan Al-Quran dan Sunnah
If you see someone walking on water or flying in the air, do not be deceived until you see whether their conduct is in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah
