Question:

As-Salamu `alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa barakatuh. I want to know the Islamic ruling concerning engagement ring. Is it permissible in Islam or not? Jazakum Allah Khayran.

Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

“Sesungguhnya aku diutus tidak lain menyempurnakan akhlak yang mulia.” (Diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad dan Hakim)
“Mukmin yang paling sempurna keimanannya adalah yang paling baik akhlaknya”. (Diriwayatkan oleh Abu Daud dan Tirmidzi)

Seorang Muslim wajib untuk berperilaku dengan akhlak yang mulia, karena hal itu mencerminkan ajaran Islam yang dibawa oleh Nabi Muhammad Saw. Semua ajaran-ajaran generasi dahulu yang telah Allah Swt. syari'atkan bagi hamba-hamba-Nya, semuanya juga menganjurkan untuk berperilaku dengan akhlak yang utama. Oleh karena itu, para ulama mengatakan bahwa akhlaq yang mulia merupakan sebuah tuntunan yang telah disepakati bersama oleh semua syari'at.

Question:

We know that Allah has promised to preserve the Qur’an, unlike the Gospel, Torah, etc., and it has been preserved until this day in its entirety. The problem is that I am hearing there are false copies of the Koran being made and spread, I think, in Iraq and that the Islamic curriculum is being distorted. If this IS true, doesn't this contradict the idea of the Koran being preserved by Allah until the last day. What are we to do?
