EVOLUTION;
Al-Pavingi,
Al-Ghazebo, and Al-Ikhlas

The term of “evolusi” in English language is
evolution, which means a gradual progression. Evolution
is the development of living things from simple to more complex shapes to
perfection gradually and take a very long time. Charles Robert Darwin is known as the
originator of the theory of evolution after publishing his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural
Selection in 1859 AD.
The theory of evolution can not be said to be collapse
before it was found new theory. Then the statement in the theory of Darwin is
still considered to be true. Until recently many people still doubt the truth
of that theory, especially from religious perspective. Harun Yahya is one of
the scientists are keen to invade the theory of Darwin. In the theological
view that Darwin theory would expel God
from life.
Haidar Bagir, an expert in Islamic philosophy, not
entirely agree with Harun Yahya. Bagir (2003) responded by saying "Our
attitude towards Darwinian beliefs about the nature of chance and materialistic
origin of life contained in the theory is obvious. We reject it. Not so with
the main conclusions of this theory about the evolutionary nature of life. Because of this however, it still can
be trusted as the Essence of God behind all of the movement's evolution ...
". On the principle of survival of the fittest, Bagir justify it and we
should take a lesson, because it agrees with the daily reality. It does not
conflict with the Qur'an.
This paper does not want to review the problem of
evolution in the natural sciences. But perhaps more in the social sciences.
More specific again, a case which occurred in my village. Not about of human
origins from ape ancestors, but about the place of worship.
The Case of Pondok Hijau
In housing where I live, Perum Pondok Hijau
occured evolutionary phenomena. In the sporting activities our residents can
see the changes in the activities of people. When resident is still a little, a
lot of people like to walk. Early in the
morning, many people who walk around the neighborhood. Then came, badminton.
For months, residents do a lot of activity badminton. In the afternoon, and
even up into the night dragged on this activity to be mandatory, especially on
weekends. In fact, this activity is entered in the race activities. I mean
independence day of Indonesia. Today, however, these activities stopped and
died. Now, activity of resident is bike. Some people often do a leisurely
stroll by bicycle. In fact, the route is not only up to Limut or Simpang 5 but until
Bandungan. However, people are now cycling activity was shrinking. At present,
was busy doing table tennis. Incidentally there is one resident who purchased a
table tennis and placed in front of his house. Suddenly, the activities of
people now are playing table tennis. Thus, the evolution of the sport can be
summed up in Pondok Hijau is: a healthy walk, badminton, bike casually, and
table tennis.
Likewise, in the religious field. The first place to perform prayers in
congregation in Pondok Hijau was the home front. Precisely in the wide way of Blok
D. When Ramadan comes, the
activities of people for tarawih and the dawn prayer in the Paving. So at that time turn up Musholla Al-Pavingi.
Then slowly emerging aspirations to build place of worship (mosque/musholla). However, the proposal although some
pros and cons. The long debate in several
meetings RT to decide yes or no to build musholla. Came the idea to create a gazebo as a
gathering place for residents. Thus, a brief story, building was built without
a name similar to the Gazebo, size 7m x 7m. In
the middle of development, that building is added by dome. Thus, be a building without a name. I
called it Musholla Al-Gazebo.
Over time, that Musholla was not possible given
the name Al-Ghazebo. Many emerging aspirations but no specific discussion of
what to name the building. Then on
Birthday of Prophet Muhammad's celebration, agree on the name of
Musholla. Kyai LP, give lecture about
isu: Sincerity, Patience, and Gratitude. At the end of the event, Chairman of
the Takmir said that what if it was agreed the name of this Musholla is Al-Ikhlas
(sincerity). All of audiens silent. No
one protests about the naming of the Building. Thus, on Thursday, 2-2-2012 building
was officially given the name Musholla Al-Ikhlas. So that is the evolution of place
worship in Pondok Hijau are: Musholla Al-Pavingi, Al-Ghazebo, and Al-Ikhlas.
Indeed, Karel A Streenbring put forward the theory
of evolution in Islamic education; Pesantren, Madrasah, Islamic School. Although in reality all three
components is actually still exist until now. That
is, the pesantren is still growing and developing. Similarly, madrasah still exist until
now. There is two form of madrasah, madrasah who special study of Islamic sciences
(tafaqqahu fi al-din) is called Madin
and madrasah in the formal school ie MI, MTs, and MA. Islamic schools are now springing up
in the form of “Islam Terpadu”.
SDIT phenomena seemed to be booming now, and in some places it was displacing
madrasah. Wallahu'alam.
