Jesus Came to Fulfill, Not to Destroy
““Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.” (Matthew 5:17-18 WEB)
Even though I write that we are not supposed to keep the Law of Moses today, I am not calling the Law evil or making it seem like something bad.
The Law shows God’s holiness, revealing that only perfection is acceptable to God. Anything short of God’s glory is unrighteous.
Jesus did not come to destroy the Law. He didn’t say, “Oh Israel, I guess this is too hard for you to keep. It’s okay, let Me snap My fingers and cancel this Law. Let’s forget about it okay?”
No, Jesus came to fulfill the Law on our behalf. The requirements of the Law can be summed up by the following verse:
“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4 WEB)
Sin is a crime that demands the penalty of death. God is holy, so He must punish sin.
However, God also loves us, so how can He spare us and yet justly punish sin?
The answer is the cross. God the Father placed all our sins upon His Son Jesus Christ, and punished Him fully in our place, so that the wages of sin which the Law requires was fully paid by Jesus’ death. The divine, sinless blood which He shed is worth much more than all the sins of the world throughout the passage of time.
So for us who have faith in Jesus, the issue of sin is settled. We are forgiven. He has fulfilled the Law’s requirements on our behalf, making us righteous.
However, the Law will not pass away until God creates a new Heaven and new earth at the end of time. The Law still has a purpose to be met.
“For there is no partiality with God. For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.” (Romans 2:11-16 WEB)
At the Great White Throne judgment, Jesus will sit as judge, and the unbelievers will be judged based on their conscience if they are Gentiles, and by the Law (Ten Commandments) if they are Jews.
Jesus has record books of their works, and will measure out the appropriate degree of punishment before they are cast into the lake of fire. Each unsaved soul will experience a different level of torment based on the works they have done in their lifetime. Of course, the one screaming the loudest will be Satan.
“I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15 WEB)
After that final judgment, when all humans, fallen angels, and Nephilim giants have been judged and sentenced to their appropriate eternal abodes, then the Law will pass away. At that point in time, all things will be accomplished, and eternity will begin. Christ shall reign supreme and be all in all.
For us who believe, the future is bright. Read this passage which will happen after the Law has passed away:
“I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”” (Revelation 21:1-4 WEB)

...Continue ReadingPRAYER OF TAHAJJUD CIRCUMSTANCES
Allah is the Most Merciful of the Merciful
O Allah, blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad
.
The first time in my life doing Tahajjud Prayer was when I was 41 years old. How ignorant I was at that time.
But Alhamdulillah for those who haven't done it yet, there's still a chance to do. While we are still alive.
I have written this TAHAJJUD circumcision prayer repeatedly but I am not satisfied because I want all my friends to take the opportunity to do so.
.
When I write this entry, it is in Ramadhan. Which we will wake up for sahur. So, take this opportunity to go for a prayer.
The best time to pray is a third night which is around 3 am.
(One night counts since Isyak time and ends at dawn. Meaning, 1 nights ~ 9 hours. So one third of those last nights were at 1.30 am to 4.30 am).
.
Prayer of Tahajjud is a night prayer carried out after waking up, the afdal is made alone after midnight. This circumcision prayer is highly claimed and very well done as an additional worship. Rasulullah SAW and friends did not leave this prayer for the rest of their life.
.
The Word of Allah SWT.:
′′ And at night pray for you as an additional worship for you; May your God lift you up to a place of praise."
(Surah Isra '; verse 79)
.
Rasulullah SAW said: ′′ Do the night prayer because it is the habit of solihin before you, also a way to get closer to your God, also as the redeemer of all bad deeds, the preventer of sin and can prevent sickness from the body." (Tirmizi's history and Ahmad r.a.)
.
Sunat prayer of tahajjud is encouraged to be established every night.
We pray for Isyak fardhu in the beginning of time with a bow and wake up then fast to sleep so that we can wake up in the middle of the night to perform the prayer of tahajj
.
The law of prayer of tahajjud is the circumcision of muakkad - which is the practice of circumcision that is
Rasulullah SAW and friends never leave this prayer for their lifetime.
His own majesty has never left the prayer of Tahajjud circumcision even one night until both of his feet are swollen because of standing too much.
.
His majesty said what it means;
′′ The most important prayer after the fardu prayer is the night prayer (tahajjjud prayer) ′′
- H. R Muslim
.
Prayer of tahajjud circumcision is highly encouraged to be done together with prayer of repentance.
.
TAHAJJUD PRAYER TIME.
Prayer of tahajjud circumcision is done at midnight, which is after 12 pm.
This time is after waking up from sleep in quiet condition when all other humans are sleeping well.
.
The Word of Allah SWT:
O people who are blanketed! Wake up Tahajjud prayer at night, apart from a little time (which cannot be rested), which is half of the night, or lessen a little of the half, or more of the second and read the Quran slowly.
- Surah al-Muzzammil verse 1-4
.
TAHAJJUD PRAYER GOAL
.
- As a sign of slavery to Allah SWT.
- Closing a servant with his Creator
- Signs of human gratitude for the blessings of Allah SWT.
- Strengthening the soul and piety of a person to Allah SWT.
- Getting calm in facing challenges and challenges of life.
.
HOW TO END TAHAJJUD PRAYER
.
THE AMOUNT OF RAKAT
Prayer of Tahajjud is done without its rakaat, according to its ability and ability, with every two rakaat one greeting. If you feel heavy, you'll just have two rakaats but you'll be done continuously every night.
Rasulullah SAW has said,:
′′ The practice that is loved by Allah, is the continuous (persistence) even though a little."
(History by Bukhari and Muslim from Aisyah. )
.
The implementation of this way of prayer for tahajjud prayer is the same as other circumcision prayers.
.
1. BEFORE WORKING FOR TAHAJJUD PRAYER READ THE NEXT PRAYER:
There is no God but You, Glory to You! I ask for forgiveness from You for my sins and I ask You for Your Mercy. Oh my God! Add me knowledge and don't give my heart after You give guidance. And give me Your Mercy; Truly You are the one who bestows blessings! Praise be to Allah who has brought me alive and to Him is my return.
.
2. INTENTIONS OF TAHAJJUD PRAYER:
(Ushalli sunnat tahajjudi rak 'ataini Lillahi ta' ala)
I pray for two rakaat Tahajjud circumcision, because of Allah Ta ' ala.
3. SURAH READING AFTER AL-FATIHAH:
.
a)
First rakaat: Verse Al-Chair (7 times)
Second rakaat: Surah Al-Ikhlas (11 times)
Or;
b)
First rakaat: Ayat Al-Kaafirun
Second rakaat: Surah Al-Ikhlas
Or;
c)
The Last 10 Verse, Surah Al-Imran,.

′′ Do the night prayer because it is the habit of solihin before you, also a way to get closer to your God, also as the redeemer of all bad deeds, the repellent of sin and can obstruct disease ′′
(The history of Tirmizi and Ahmad R. A)
.
EASY TO WAKE UP NIGHT PRAYER
(I've written this before...)
.
- Before going to bed, intend to do Tahajjud Prayer.
- Stay away from sin.
- Simple eating and drinking at noon.
- Reading the verses of the Quran.
.
Rasulullah SAW said:
′′ Whoever wants to sleep and intends to rise up to perform the Tahajjud Circumcision Prayer, then sleep is too much until the morning, then the intention is recorded as a reward, while his sleep is considered as the gift of God given to him."
(The history of al-Nasa ' i and Ibnu Majah r.a.)
.
According to Imam al-Ghazali, there are four reasons for the world and four spiritual reasons to help someone tahajjud.
.
Because the world is:
- Avoid over eating and drinking that will only cause excessive sleep
- Don't explode with things that are not useful during the day.
- Sleeping for a while at noon which will help us for night prayers.
- No sin during the day which it may prevent us from performing tahajjud prayers
.
Because of his spirituality is:
- To cleanse our hearts from any hate towards other Muslims.
- To always have fear in our hearts towards God and realize that our lives are very short.
- To understand the benefits of tahajjud.
- To love Allah, and have strong faith when we wake up the night prayer 'calling' Allah.
.
FIVE REWARDS IN THE WORLD

Do the night prayer, because it is the habit of the religious people before you, the way closer to God, the redeemer, the repellent of sin, and the preventer of disease."
.

Have you seen the faces of worship members who practice night prayers?
Doesn't their faces look radiant and calm?
That's the proof of the gift that Allah gave him.
Not only that, by seeing their faces we feel happy and happy, even feel like seeing it many times.
.

That's the characteristics of those who believe and do good deeds with Allah will surely receive love from anyone.
.

Indeed, the characteristics of those who believe are those who keep their manners and speech.

Gather Revelations about Jesus Daily!
“This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: “Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.” The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less. When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating. Moses said to them, “Let no one leave of it until the morning.” Notwithstanding they didn’t listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them. They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.” (8Exodus 16:16-21 WEB)
Manna is the heavenly bread which God fed the children of Israel with in the wilderness. It is a picture of Jesus who is the true Bread of life that comes down from Heaven.
Notice how whether the people gathered much or little each day, they still had enough.
But they could not keep the manna until the morning because it would rot and breed worms.
This is a lesson for us: we have to gather revelations about Jesus in the Scriptures every day.
It doesn’t have to be a lot, but just do it as best as you can.
Even a verse or passage about Jesus to meditate on will be good.
Many believers are gathering revelations about Jesus only on Sundays when they attend services, and they try to survive on that for the rest of the week until the next Sunday.
They are trying to live on spiritual food that has ‘gone foul and bred worms’!
If you don’t have to be told to eat physical food daily, surely you’ll also know that you need fresh spiritual food daily to feed your soul?
The hunger in the soul feels different from hunger in the stomach. It feels like a weariness—a ‘bleh’ feeling that makes it difficult to trudge through each day.
When bad things happen, that soul starvation tends to manifest obviously in outbursts of anger, freaking out and panic.
“If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.” (Proverbs 24:10 WEB)
All this won’t happen so intensely if you’re consistently gathering revelations about Jesus daily.
Remember, whether it’s little or much, gather anyway—you need the nourishment.
Listen to a sermon, read a devotional, read the Bible, listen to worship songs and praise Him, have prayer time. Whatever is your preferred way of feeding, just do it!
