Read: Craig Owensby abdurrohim, softened my heart Quran Miracles
Snatch his MBA and worked at several prestigious firms in the country, the United States, as well as enjoying worldly pleasures, did not make Craig Owensby Abdurrohim happy. Bathinnya empty. She needed spiritual enlightenment as a counterweight.
After years of pioneering career, Craig decided to study the gospel, theology, and Islam at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, NJ. Several years later he became a preacher following in the footsteps of his father a Catholic priest at a church in New York with 6,000 followers.
Although successful as a pastor, happiness and tranquility of his desire has not turned to him. Craig precisely increasingly uneasy with the concept of the divinity of Jesus that she had learned. Knowledge that he had made it impossible to believe that Jesus is Lord. "Gospel explains that Jesus is lord, not God," he said.
In the midst of troubled at heart, one day inadvertently focused attention on a friend named Nasir, who joined the group of Pakistani football.
For him, Nasir different from other team members are considered more intelligent, disciplined, and good. Nasir, by Craig, even thought to reflect the true Muslim. This made him interested in the concept of Islam.
Long pondered, Craig decided to study Islam more intensively and quit from his activities as a pastor. Preoccupations and then filled with a jump back in business, as well as explore Islam autodidact.
Hidayah Allah finally came when he was assigned to work in Indonesia around 1997. Craig Muarabaru then settled in the area, North Jakarta. In a new neighborhood, he encountered a lot of things that really touches the soul.
Craig was interested in the lives of Muslim children in this region. According to him, though poor, they live with great simplicity and still manages to look clean and happy. For a moment he remembered his childhood when he was living with his parents in Mexico and Colombia.
He witnessed how the Catholic children living there full of violent, poor and dirty. There was no reflection of serenity and peace of life. Craig felt the two things that have inspired him to learn and study the Islamic religion.
The process of finding the truth of Islam continues to be done. Until one day in May 2001 he pledged himself to Muslims in Pengajian Rahmania, Brass, with guidance Rikza Ustadz Abdullah. "I want to be someone who knows the truth. I am willing to be a Muslim because he wanted the truth. It could be that the truth of a nuisance, but I believe with truth," said Chicago-born Caucasians.
Since then, Craig was convinced by the Qur'anic teaching that human beings are born pure and become inheritors of the world. "I have now become the Caliph of Allah. Initially I Islam just by reading, thinking, and talking, but not practicing. Now I decided to run a serious Muslim."
Although the claim seriously chose Islam as his faith, converts it feels still need to 'fight' to be true Muslims. The reason, he was not an early riser. Now he must perform Subuh prayer as usual at the same time was still fast asleep.
However, he felt grateful he was able to conquer the ego. For him, it can run well Subuh prayer is a measure of ability to perform other obligatory prayers. "The first time my Subuh prayer is very satisfied and happy. After that, perform the prayers of others to be underestimated."
Do not stop there. Apparently Craig has not felt to be Muslims kaffah before Islam can be preached. He thinks there are two phases which he lived, which is to become Muslims and preaching. Now he is doing it while the second phase of business.
"Business I Cellular Qur'an, but this is not a pure business because the investment is quite big and very small financial gain," explains Craig. To him it was not a problem since the initial concept is to call people. He did not introduce it to the public business jor-fishing rod, but slowly from mouth to mouth.
Craig is the new thing when preaching to his concept of the Qur'an Cell. Concepts that provide services to study and understand the Koran and the Hadith of the Prophet through the system short massage system (SMS). Indonesian Muslim community response is very good. Proved the concept that the commencement this since July 2000, now have up to 70 pilgrims Qur'an Cell thousand people throughout Indonesia.
Cell Qur'an gives Muslim lifestyle how to set up on-the-go, whose center is a daily review (6 minutes per day, a 1-minute translation of the Qur'an, 3 minute message speaker, and the "bonus" 2 minutes murotal verses in Arabic). Craig invites Muslims study the Koran with the speaker of Indonesia's leading.
Starting on the first day of the Surah Al Fatihah and will seal after about three years, in Surah An Naas. My commitment''to make people as busy as any Muslim who can learn the Koran,''said Craig, who is fluent in Indonesian.
This is the first project in the world who want to make Indonesian Muslim as a good example for Muslims around the world. In the program presented four dai Cellular Quran Indonesian famous, among others, KH Abdullah Gymnastiar, Arifin Ilham, Didin Hafidhuddin, and Ihsan Tanjung.
Now, the desire of Muslims as well as mobile phone users who want to learn the Koran and listening to religious lectures can be fulfilled. Especially living in Jakarta, Bandung, Bogor, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Banjarmasin, Balikpapan, Medan, and Makassar. Those interested can register via SMS to 081 193 4209 or call 021-7883 1001.
Craig was sure this would be useful means of preaching because someone does not discriminate. "The Quranic movement, missionary programs, I made a means to compete with the evangelicals. We must have a strong faith and a people who are better than non-Muslim people."
Craig is not a dream if dreaming of the Qur'an Cellular to implement programs in other countries. "Insha Allah Qur'an Cellular technologies will we apply also to the whole world, among others, to Brunei, Malaysia, Bahrain, Jordan, and Egypt." He also hopes one day learning the Islamic religion through cell phones could be developed in the country of his birth, the United States.
