"Jika seseorang tidak memiliki Rahmah, tidak memiliki kasih sayang dan kepedulian terhadap orang lain, orang ini tidak akan pernah mau memberi keadilan untuk orang lain. Jadi, ...aku ingin menyerukan pada dunia:

Mari memilih Rahmah," kata Gus Yahya Cholil Staquf. Share :  Ngopibareng.id |
KH Yahya Cholil Staquf (Gus Yahya) tampil dalam America Jewish Commitee (AJC) Global Forum di Yerusalem.

Berbicara di depan 1600 orang Yahudi tentang Indonesia dan Islam tentu sebuah kesempatan besar dan penting.

Dalam dialog di forum tersebut, Gus Yahya, panggilan akrabnya, tampil bersama Rabi David Rosen, sebagai moderator dari AJC International Director of Interreligious Affairs, berlangsung Ahad (10/6/2018).

Berikut ngopibareng.id menghadirkan transkripsi lengkap dialog dalam rangkaian kegiatan Gus Yahya, yang resmi diundang The Israel Council on Foreign Relations, Yerusalem itu.

Rabi David Rosen:

Selamat datang.

Anda adalah salah satu murid terbaik dari salah satu guru terbaik yang pernah ada, Presiden Abdurrahman Wahid.

Dan AJC sudah berhubungan dgn Gus Dur sejak 20 tahun lalu.

Gus Dur juga bicara di acara seperti ini, 16 tahun lalu. Beliau juga pernah mengunjungi Israel sebanyak 3 kali.

Lalu Anda sekarang mengikuti jejaknya.

Bagaimana perasaan Anda?

KH Yahya Cholil Staquf:

Terima kasih atas kesempatan ini.

Adalah sebuah keberuntungan bagi NU bahwa Gus Dur meninggal dunia dengan meninggalkan murid-murid yang kemudian tumbuh dan mengikuti jejaknya.

Apa yang selama ini saya saya dan rekan-rekan saya lakukan hanyalah sebatas melanjutkan pekerjaan dari Gus Dur.

Rabi David Rosen:

Tapi ini bukan sekadar ketersambungan.

Kehadiran Anda di sini memiliki signifikansi tersendiri di mata dunia. Bagaimana Anda memaknai hal ini?

KH Yahya Cholil Staquf:

Idealisme dan visi yang dimiliki oleh Gus Dur adalah keberlangsungan umat manusia dalam jangka waktu yang sangat panjang.

Dan oleh karenanya tidak bisa dicapai secara instan.

Gus Dur telah menjalankan perannya dalam mewujudkan visi tersebut, dan kini adalah giliran murid-murid beliau di generasi ini untuk melanjutkan pekerjaan tersebut.

Kami merasa beruntung, sebab berkat Gus Dur, kami telah mencapai titik tertentu di mana kami bisa melihat arah yang lebih jelas di depan kami.

Rabi David Rosen:

Dalam pidatonya di forum AJC di Washington, Gus Dur bicara tentang hubungan yang istimewa antara Yahudi dan Islam yang telah berjalan ratusan tahun.

Bagaimana Anda memandang hubungan ini?

KH Yahya Cholil Staquf:

Hubungan antara Islam dan Yahudi adalah hubungan yang fluktuatif.

Terkadang baik, terkadang konflik.

Hal ini tergantung pada dinamika sejarah yang terjadi.

Tapi secara umum kita harus mengakui bahwa ada masalah dalam hubungan dua agama ini.

Dan salah satu sumber masalahnya terletak pada ajaran agama itu sendiri.

Dalam konteks realitas saat ini, kaum beragama, baik Islam maupun Yahudi perlu menemukan cara baru untuk pertama-tama memfungsikan agama dalam kehidupan nyata, dan kedua menemukan interpretasi moral baru yang mampu menciptakan hubungan yang harmonis dengan agama-agama lain.

Rabi David Rosen:

Jadi, Anda mengatakan bahwa melakukan intrepretasi ulang terhadap teks Al-Quran dan Hadits —sebagai upaya untuk menghilangkan penghalang bagi terciptanya hubungan baik antara Islam dan Yahudi— adalah sesuatu yang mungkin dilakukan?

KH Yahya Cholil Staquf:

Bukan hanya “mungkin”, tapi ini sesuatu yang “harus” dilakukan.

Karena setiap ayat dari Al-Quran diturunkan dalam konteks realitas tertentu, dalam masa tertentu.

Nabi Muhammad SAW dalam mengatakan sesuatu juga selalu disesuaikan dengan situasi yang ada pada saat itu.

Sehingga Al-Quran dan Hadits adalah pada dasarnya dokumen sejarah yang berisi panduan moral dalam menghadapi situasi tertentu.

Ketika situasi dan realitasnya berubah, maka manifestasi dari moralitas tersebut sudah seharusnya berubah pula.

Rabi David Rosen:

Lalu, Anda dan Gus Dur selalu menekankan pentingnya memerangi ekstremisme dan mempromosikan pendekatan yang lebih humanis.

Apakah menurut Anda Indonesia memiliki sesuatu yang bisa diberikan pada dunia dalam kaitannya dengan hal ini?

KH Yahya Cholil Staquf:

Ini bukan tentang menawarkan sesuatu dari Indonesia.

Karena Indonesia sendiri bukannya sudah terbebas dari masalah.

Kami memiliki masalah kami sendiri.

Kami memang memiliki semacam kearifan lokal yang membantu masyarakat untuk hidup secara harmonis dalam lingkungan yang heterogan, tapi kami masih punya banyak masalah terkait agama, termasuk Islam.

Apa yang kita hadapi saat ini, apa yang seluruh dunia hadapi saat ini adalah sebuah situasi di mana konflik terjadi di seluruh dunia, dan di dalam konflik-konflik ini, agama hampir selalu digunakan sebagai senjata untuk menjustifikasi konflik.

Sekarang saatnya kuta bertanya, “apakah kita ingin hal ini berlanjut?

Atau kita ingin memiliki masa depan yang berbeda?”

Jika kita ingin hal ini berlanjut, konsekuensinya jelas: tidak ada yang bisa bertahan hidup di dalam kondisi seperti ini.

Jika kita ingin masa depan yang berbeda, kita harus mengubah cara kita mengatasi persoalan.

Saat ini, agama digunakan sebagai justifikasi dan senjata untuk berkonflik.

Kita, kaum beragama, mesti bertanya pada diri kita sendiri, apakah ini benar-benar fungsi yang sebenarnya dari agama?

Atau apakah ada cara lain yang memungkinkan agama berfungsi sebagai sumber inspirasi untuk menemukan solusi dari semua konflik ini?

Dalam pandangan saya, juga pandangan Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), dunia perlu berubah. Semua pihak perlu berubah.

Saya akan menggunakan metafora “obat macam apa pun tidak akan bisa menyembuhkan pasien diabetes atau jantung, selama si pasien tidak mau merubah gaya hidupnya”.

Salah satu ayat dalam Al-Quran juga menyebutkan “innallaha laa yughayyiru maa bi qaumin hatta yughayyiru maa bi anfusihim” yang artinya “Sesungguhnya Allah tidak mengubah keadaan suatu kaum sampai mereka mengubah keadaan diri mereka sendiri”.

Selama ini kita selalu terlibat dalam konflik untuk memperebutkan barang, sumber daya, kekuasaan, apapun itu, dengan tujuan untuk mengalahkan pihak lain.

Dan pada akhirnya, kita bahkan tidak mampu lagi membedakan bagaimana konflik ini bermula, dan bagaimana seharusnya konflik ini diselesaikan.

Bagi saya, yang tersisa saat ini adalah sebuah pilihan.

Sebuah pilihan mendasar yang bisa memberi kita solusi nyata.

Pilihan itu adalah apa yang kita sebut dalam Islam sebagai “Rahmah”.

Rahmah berarti kasih sayang dan kepedulian terhadap sesama.

Kita “harus” memilih Rahmah, karena ini adalah awal dari semua hal baik yang kita selalu idamkan. Jika kita memilih Rahmah, baru kita bisa berbicara soal keadilan.

Karena keadilan bukan hanya merupakan sesuatu yang kita inginkan, tapi juga tentang kemauan untuk memberikan keadilan bagi orang lain.

Jika seseorang tidak memiliki Rahmah, tidak memiliki kasih sayang dan kepedulian terhadap orang lain, orang ini tidak akan pernah mau memberi keadilan untuk orang lain. Jadi, jika saya harus berseru pada dunia, aku ingin menyerukan pada dunia: “Mari memilih Rahmah”.

(Sontak, 1600 orang Yahudi di forum tersebut bertepuk tangan, menyambut gagasan Gus Yahya, red)

Rabi David Rosen:

Konsep Rahman dan Rahim memiliki kemiripan dalam Yahudi.

Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa Islam dan Yahudi sejatinya memiliki kedekatan dalam spirit dan tradisi keagamaan.

Pak Yahya,
kami berterimakasih banyak atas seruan Anda untuk memilih Rahmah, dan kami harap Anda mampu menjadi inspirasi bagi muslim di seluruh dunia, dan kita harap kita bisa mencapai rekonsiliasi dan membawa berkah bagi seluruh masyarakat.

Dan AJC akan selalu berusaha menjalani peran untuk memfasilitasi rekonsiliasi dan perdamaian sejati. (adi)

HALLALU-YAHUAH THROUGH YAHUSHA HA'MASHYACH HOUSE OF YASHAR'AL; TZION

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. REVELATION 12:11

CONVERSATION WITH A DOUBTFUL MIND; THIS IS THE STATEMENT MADE BY HIM...

"The entire so-called new testament is fake and phony a worthless piece of paper."

MY HUMBLE SUBMISSION; PRAISE BE YAH!

The genealogists might have erred concerning the lineage but man makes mistakes but YAH doesn't not! If you don't believe the law=(torah) and the nabayim=(prophets) and the Tahallyim=(psalms)  plus the writing's concerning the Messiah then my friend you must read again because they all speak of the elect one of YAHUAH our ALUAHYM and CREATOR the SAVIOUR of the WORLD through YAHUSHA HA'MASHYACH... As nabuah=(prophesied).

Howbeit, some people have purposed to cause others to stumble by the way of MISTRANSLATION'S and UNBELIEF adhering to lie's and fables and other erroneous DOCTRINE'S and TRADITIONS of Men of debased MIND'S void of understanding least they hear with their ears and understand with their Heart to be SAVED.

Becareful that your stance doesn't cause others to stumble one chapter does not promote your RETHORIC nor have you submitted any proof of the accusations submitted by your claim so we might be able to prayerfully prove all things pertaining to this matter according to the scriptures and not our opinion's by the RUACH HA KADASH discernment... Therefore moving forward if you shall not produce anything I pray that you cease and desist from making unsubstantiated claims howbeit it might have some validation from the beginning but the light of YAHUAH shall judge among the false doctrine and bring to light the TRUTH.

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Torah of Mosheh, and in the prophets, and in the Tehilliym, concerning me. LUKE 24:44

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. REVELATION 12:11

BEHOLD my Servant, whom I uphold; my Elect One, in whom my soul delights; I have put my RUACH upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the other nations. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his Torah.  ISAIAH 42:1-4

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them את eth all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 
DEUTERONOMY 18:18-19

Thus says YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will guard את eth-my watch, then you shall also judge את eth-my house, and shall also guard את eth-my courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by. Hear now, O Yahusha the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth את eth-my servant the BRANCH. For behold the stone that I have laid before Yahusha; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, says YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH, and I will remove את eth-the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, says YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.  ZECHARIAH 3:7-10

I will declare the decree: YAHUAH has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you. Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve את eth-YAHUAH with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.  PSALMS 2:7-12

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the rolls of the cepher it is written of me, I delight to do your will, O my ELOHIYM: yea, your Torah is within my heart.  PSALMS 40:6-8

Thus says YAHUAH, the Holy One of Yashar'el, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says YAHUAH TSEVA'OTH.  ISAIAH 45:11-13

WHO has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of YAHUAH revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of ELOHIYM, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and YAHUAH has laid on him את eth the iniquity of us all.  ISAIAH 53:1-6

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary את eth-my ALUAHYM also? Therefore ALUAHYM YAHUAH himself shall give you a sign; Behold! a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth an infant son, whose name is called Immanu'el.  ISAIAH 7:13-14

And as Mosheh lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Adam be lifted up: That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For YAH so loved את eth-the world, that he gave את eth-his את eth-yachiyd, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For YAH sent not his את eth-yachiyd into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the yachiyd of YAHUAH. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  JOHN 3:14-19

THAT את eth which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) את eth That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH.  1 JOHN 1:1-3

And ELOHIYM said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So ELOHIYM created את eth-man in his own image, in the image of ELOHIYM created he him; male and female created he them.  GENESIS 1:26-27

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of YAHUAH, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of YAHUAH. And the Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his esteem, the esteem as of the yachiyd of the Father,) full of favor and truth.  JOHN 1:10-14

Wherefore YAHUAH also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of YAHUSHA every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that YAHUAH is YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH, to the glory of YAH the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  PHILIPPIANS 2:9-12

Ye men of Yashar'el, hear these words; YAHUSHA the Netseriy, a man approved of YAH among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which YAHUAH did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of YAH, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom YAHUAH has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held of it. For David speaks concerning him, I foresaw YAHUAH always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because you will not leave my soul in She'ol, neither will you suffer your Kadash=(Set-apart) One to see corruption.  ACTS 2:22-27

But those things, which YAHUAH before had showed את eth by the mouth of all his prophets, that HAMASHIACH should suffer, he has so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of YAHUAH; And he shall send את eth-YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heavens must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which YAHUAH has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Mosheh truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall YAHUAH ELOHAYKEM raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.  Yea, and all the prophets from Shemu'el and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which ELOHIYM made with our fathers, saying unto Avraham, And in your seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first YAHUAH, having raised up his Son YAHUSHA, sent him to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from his iniquities.  ACTS 3:18-26

For I am not ashamed of the Besorah of HAMASHIACH: for it is the power of YAH unto salvation to everyone that believes; to the Yahudiy first, and also to the Yavaniy. For therein is the righteousness of YAH revealed from belief to belief: as it is written, The just shall live by belief. For the wrath of YAH is revealed from heaven against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the Truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of YAH is manifest in them; for YAHUAH has showed it unto them. For from the creation of the world, the invisible things of YAH are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew YAHUAH, they glorified him not as YAHUAH, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  ROMANS 1:16-21

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am the א (Aleph) and the ת (Tav), the beginning and the end, the first and the last. BARUK=(Blessed) are they that do YAHUAH'S COMMANDMENT'S, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie. I YAHUSHA have sent my MESSENGER to TESTIFY UNTO YOU THESE THING'S IN THE CALLED OUT ASSEMBLIES. I am the root and the OFFSPRING OF DAVID, and the BRIGHT STAR RISING in the MORNING. And the RUACH and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.  REVELATION 22:12-17

PRAISE BE YAHUAH OUR ALUAHAYNU AND SAVIOR THROUGH YAHUSHA HA'MASHYACH HOUSE OF YASHAR'AL; TZION THIS IS THE MESSAGE FROM THE BEGINNING; FOR SCRIPTURE'S INTERPRETATE SCRIPTURE LINE UPON LINE PRECEPT UPON PRECEPTS HERE A LITTLE THERE A LITTLE...

Pengusaha Minta Hubungan Dagang RI-Israel Tak Dipolitisasi
OLEH: TEMPO.CO
SENIN, 29 MEI 2017 09:10 WIB

Pekerja mengamati bongkar muat peti kemas di Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT), Jakarta, 26 April 2017.

Bank Indonesia mencatat Neraca Perdagangan Indonesia surplus pada Maret 2017.

ANTARA / M Agung Rajasa
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta -

#Rencana untuk membuka kerja sama dagang antara Indonesia dan Israel.

#Seperti Selengkapnya, kerja sama perdagangan dua negara belum dapat terjalin dengan baik, karena Indonesia dan Israel memiliki hubungan diplomatis secara resmi.

#Baca: Dubes: Rakyat Indonesia Kini Lebih Memahami Isu Palestina

#"Kita bisa pisahkan urusan politik dan ekonomi, jangan menyebutnya.

#Kalau soal ekonomi, kenapa enggak dijajaki," kata Ketua Asosiasi Pengusaha Indonesia (Apindo) bidang Hubungan Internasional dan Investasi, Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, saat dihubungi Tempo, Minggu, 28 Mei 2017.

#Baca: Berikut Daftar Negara Sahabat dan Musuh AS di Era Trump

Shinta mencontohkan kerja sama ekonomi dan perdagangan Indonesia dengan Taiwan yang tetap berjalan meskipun tak memiliki hubungan politik.

Menurut dia, jika ditilik dari segi bisnis dan hubungan ekonomi Indonesia dan Israel, terdapat potensi yang cukup besar. "

Jadi selama ada keuntungan untuk kedua belah pihak, kenapa enggak," katanya.

#Shinta berujar selama ini hubungan perdagangan yang dilakukan antara pengusaha Indonesia dan Israel selalu menggunakan negara pihak atau tidak dilakukan secara langsung.

#Misalnya melalui Inggris atau Amerika Serikat, banyak yang di baliknya itu milik Israel," ucapnya.

Kondisi ini, kata Shinta, menyebabkan sulitnya memprediksi atau mengukur nilai perdagangan Indonesia dan Israel selama ini.

"Angkanya enggak ada yang bisa nyata, susah karena memakai pihak ketiga tadi."

#Shinta menambahkan, meskipun saat ini belum ada hubungan diplomatis, tidak tertutup jika diperlukan.

#Mungkin bisa jika kamar ke kamar atau kantor dagang," ujarnya.

#Terkait dengan potensi produk perdagangan yang bisa digali dari Israel, Shinta mengatakan, diungkapan pertanian, teknologi informasi (TI), dan perangkat lunak.

#Mereka kan terkenal dengan teknologinya yang bagus, tapi kita enggak bisa buka kerja samanya selama ini, enggak optimal," katanya.

#Sementara itu, produk yang dapat ditawarkan oleh Indonesia, menurut Shinta, termasuk produk makanan dan minuman, tekstil, sepatu, dan kelapa sawit.

#Kami selama ini belum menjajaki lebih lanjut, tapi itu menjadi salah satu ujung tombak kita ke luar dan ada potensi untuk dibawa ke sana," tuturnya.

Kita sama doakan semoga rencana Pemerintah Indonesia membuka hubungan dengan dengan Israel tercapai..

Toh itupun sesuai keinginan Presiden Almr  Gusdur.
