Early religious Makrifatullah "so said the king Apostle to remind his flock to focus on reaching the stage makrifat to God as a prerequisite to a person judged to have religion. Makrifatullah in a general sense means to know or find out about God. Makrifat divided into Makrifat Asthma (name), Makrifat af'al / ficil (deed) and Makrifat Essence (Essence Seeing God).
Makrifat with the name of God means that we know about God through His names, is 99 a good name (Asmaul Husna) contained in the Qur'an. Ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim example teaches us that God is a person who has a loving and compassionate nature. Al-Aziz, or is Strong, the Mighty, the name that will be reflected in our minds that God is Strong, the source of all power. By knowing the name will make us realize that we are on top there is a figure that far exceeds our ability. By knowing His names is one way we get to know Him.
Makrifat with af'al / ficil or nature, there are 20 attributes of God that must be known by His servant. Kalam, or speaking will teach us that God has spoken nature, with it giving confidence that God gave instructions to all the people by means of His words. His words were presented to the Prophet written in the form of scriptures while his words were delivered to the hearts of the faithful will personally give instructions to the person in his life. The nature of the eternal Word of God, it is not possible to speak of God only ancient prophet only when there is but He will continue to speak through the ages, just needed peace of mind and a clean heart to be able to listen to his word.
Makrifat Essence, Essence God knows, this is the peak makrifat, familiar with my real familiar. With makrifat a servant who had been purified and intensified through the heart dhikr in his heart, can see the Lord God Almighty. The Sufis say, "If the eyes are found in human hearts open, eyes closed and his head will be seen only when it is Allah SWT. Makrifat a mirror. If a Sufi look into a mirror, he sees only Allah. Wise seen during sleep and wake up only Allah "
Why is the beginning of religion makrifat to God, because if not then it is not possible to know God man can worship Him and not be able to love him. It is therefore important for all humans to reach the stage makrifat that worship does not in vain.
Prophet Abraham was ordered to sacrifice his son in a dream, God commanded Abraham to slay his son. Why Ibrahim execute the command "strange" because he was convinced that God ordered. Why are we so sure that it comes in a dream is God, because Abraham had reached the stage makrifatullah, knowing Essence of Allah SWT. Intellect is not able to describe the manifestation of God in a dream that came Abraham, Sufism easily decompose. The description of the makrifat and experiences about makrifat can only be understood by people who have been in the nature makrifat anyway.
Makrifat not be through reflection, through studies or readings. Thousands of Sufism book will not bring a person reaches makrifat. Al-Ghazali said, "Tool Sufi get makrifat is the heart, not the five senses or mind. Knowledge gained hearts more true than knowledge acquired through reason. Way to get the truth is Sufism (makrifat not philosophy) ". Al-Ghazali makrifat interpret as God's face gazing.
Having reached the stage makrifat as mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad, then one can apply all the worship that is recommended by religion. Zunnun al-Mishri said that makrifat have a range of moral human values that should be decorated ahklak seoptimalnya Allah. Socially wise when it has reached this level like the association with Allah. The Prophet's wife Aisha when asked about the moral character of the Prophet replied that the Messenger of Allah is the Qur'an.
Only God knows which of His servants who really know him, get to the stage makrifat. But of course people who have known God as mentioned, it will follow the moral character of the Prophet Muhammad. According zunnun are three signs of the Arif (People who have reached the stage Makrifat):
Makrifat light does not extinguish the light of his humility,
Not admitted bathiniah, science as opposed to the outward law (Sharia Law).
Many favors that Allah was not mengiringnya to violate the prohibitions of Allah SWT.
Arif person with a broad knowledge, deep nature will keep enacting the deeds-deeds in syariatkan by religion. People who claim to bermakrifat then acting strangely, leave a religious duty, which is reprehensible morals would doubt about makrifatnya. Greatness and sanctity that God gave him is not used to violate God's command, despicable deeds, this explanation of the characteristics of the makrifat according Dzunnun al-Mishri.
The conclusion of this paper that makrifatullah or know God is the beginning of religion, to achieve makrifat then all worship will be meaningful because we know who we worship. If Makrifatullah is the beginning of religion, then what is the end of religion? End of religion as well as Makrifatullah makrifatullah is the spirit of religion.
