Berita Islam: Ternyata Arti "Minal 'Aidin wal Faizin" Bukan "Mohon Maaf Lahir Batin"

Ucapan ini: Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri, Taqobalallahu Minnaa wa Minkum, Minal 'Aidin wal Faizin, Mohon Maaf Lahir Batin, merupakan ucapan yang biasa disampaikan dan diterima oleh kaum muslimin di hari lebaran baik melalui lisan ataupun kartu ucapan idul fitri. Ada dua kalimat yang diambil dari bahasa arab di sana, yaitu kalimat ke dua dan tiga. Apakah arti kedua kalimat itu? Dari mana asal-usulnya? Sebagian orang kadang cukup mengucapkan minal 'aidin wal faizin dengan bermaksud meminta maaf. Benarkah dua kalimat yang terakhir memiliki makna yang sama?

Para Sahabat Rasulullah biasa mengucapkan kalimat Taqobalallaahu minnaa wa minkum di antara mereka. Arti kalimat ini adalah semoga Allah menerima dari kami dan dari kalian. Maksudnya, menerima amal ibadah kita semua selama bulan Ramadhan. Para sahabat juga biasa menambahkan: shiyamana wa shiyamakum, semoga juga puasaku dan kalian diterima.

Jadi kalimat yang ke dua dari ucapan selamat lebaran di atas memang biasa digunakan sejak jaman para Sahabat Nabi hingga sekarang.

Lalu bagaimana dengan kalimat: minal 'aidin wal faizin? Menurut Quraish Shihab dalam bukunya Lentera Hati, kalimat ini mengandung dua kata pokok: 'aidin dan faizin (Ini penulisan yang benar menurut ejaan bahasa indonesia, bukan aidzin,aidhin atau faidzin,faidhin. Kalau dalam tulisan bahasa arab: من العاءدين و الفاءيزين )

Yang pertama sebenarnya sama akar katanya dengan 'Id pada Idul Fitri. 'Id itu artinya kembali, maksudnya sesuatu yang kembali atau berulang, dalam hal ini perayaan yang datang setiap tahun. Sementara Al Fitr, artinya berbuka, maksudnya tidak lagi berpuasa selama sebulan penuh. Jadi, Idul Fitri berarti "hari raya berbuka" dan 'aidin menunjukkan para pelakunya, yaitu orang-orang yang kembali. (Ada juga yang menghubungkan al Fitr dengan Fitrah atau kesucian, asal kejadian)

Faizin berasal dari kata fawz yang berarti kemenangan. Maka, faizin adalah orang-orang yang menang. Menang di sini berarti memperoleh keberuntungan berupa ridha, ampunan dan nikmat surga. Sementara kata min dalam minal menunjukkan bagian dari sesuatu.

Sebenarnya ada potongan kalimat yang semestinya ditambahkan di depan kalimat ini, yaitu ja'alanallaahu (semoga Allah menjadikan kita).

Jadi, selengkapnya kalimat minal 'aidin wal faizin bermakna (semoga Allah menjadikan kita) bagian dari orang-orang yang kembali (kepada ketaqwaan/kesucian) dan orang-orang yang menang (dari melawan hawa nafsu dan memperoleh ridha Allah). Jelaslah, meskipun diikuti dengan kalimat mohon maaf lahir batin, ia tidak mempunyai makna yang serupa. Bahkan sebenarnya merupakan tambahan doa untuk kita yang patut untuk diaminkan.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA IDUL FITRI, TAQOBALALLAHU MINNA WA MINKUM, SHIYAMANA WA SHIYAMAKUM, JA'ALANALLAAHU MINAL 'AIDIN WAL FAIZIN, AMIN...

Museum plays April Fools’ joke on prolific forger

Fool me once, the saying goes. But 50 times? That’s what a convincing art forger did for nearly three decades when he donated his copies of Picassos and other works of art to unsuspecting museums in 20 states.

Mark A. Landis, who has dressed as a Jesuit priest or posed as a wealthy donor driving up in a red Cadillac, apparently never took money for his forgeries and has never been arrested.
Now his “works” have been collected into their own tongue-in-cheek exhibit, called Faux Real and opening on April Fools’ Day at the University of Cincinnati.


Educating people about forgery and letting people know about Landis “is the only way to stop him,” said Mark Tullos, director of the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum in Lafayette, La., which was duped in 2010 with a donation of a painting supposedly by American Charles Courtney Curran.

Landis creates works in oil, watercolor, pastels, chalk, ink and pencil, making most of his copies from museum or auction catalogs that provide dimensions and information on the originals.

He sometimes bestows gifts under different names, such as the Father Arthur Scott alias used at Hilliard. In that case, he told officials that his dead mother had left works including Curran’s oil-on-wood painting Three Women and that he was donating it in her memory.

Tullos said museum employees became suspicious when Landis kept changing the subject under questioning. After he drove off, the museum quickly concluded it was a forgery.

To convince museums he is a philanthropist, he also concocts elaborate stories about health concerns, said Cincinnati exhibit co-curator Matthew Leininger.

“He has been having heart surgery for almost 30 years,” Leininger said with a frustrated laugh. “This is the strangest case the museum realm has known in years.”
Landis, 57, acknowledges what he’s up to. He told The Associated Press in a phone interview from his home in Laurel, Miss., that he made his first forgery donation to a California museum in 1985.

“They were so nice. I just got used to that, and one thing led to another,” he said. “It never occurred to me that anyone would think it was wrong.”

The Cincinnati exhibit of about 40 works given to 15 museums grew to around 100 when Landis donated 60 pieces he possesses, along with his priest’s outfit.

The Faux Real show will run through May 20 at the Dorothy W. and C. Lawson Reed Jr. Gallery. It depicts famous art forgers, details of how Landis made some donations and ways of detecting fakes. Visitors can view some works under ultraviolet light that causes sections to glow if they contain contemporary ingredients.

Art experts say not accepting payment for his forgeries has helped keep Landis from being charged with a crime. Museum officials say forgeries can hurt their reputation and cost time and money researching suspected fraud.

Landis typically targets smaller museums without resources to thoroughly check donations. While museums don’t pay Landis, some treated him to meals, receptions and gifts like catalogs and souvenirs before realizing they were duped, Leininger said.

The exhibit doesn’t judge Landis but is using his story to show how forgeries occur and demonstrate that institutions and the public “shouldn’t take things at face value,” said Aaron Cowan, exhibit co-curator.

The exhibit won’t increase the value of Landis’ works – considered worthless except as educational tools on forgery – and the curators have heard no objections to spotlighting his works.

Landis won’t profit from the show but says it is “nice of them to do this.” And though Leininger says he doesn’t think Landis can stop, the forger acknowledges that it’s harder to fool people now “than the ’80s and ’90s, when you could just walk in and donate.”
 “Now they want all types of documentation.”
