Manfaat Jilbab menurut Islam dan Sains

A. Pengertian

Sains (science) diambil dari kata latin scientia yang arti harfiahnya adalah pengetahuan. Sund dan Trowbribge merumuskan bahwa Sains merupakan kumpulan pengetahuan dan proses. Sedangkan Kuslan Stone menyebutkan bahwa Sains adalah kumpulan pengetahuan dan cara-cara untuk mendapatkan dan mempergunakan pengetahuan itu (Dani Vardiansyah).

Secara etimologis kata Islam diturunkan dari akar kata yang sama dengan kata salām yang berarti “damai”. Kata ‘Muslim’ (sebutan bagi pemeluk agama Islam) juga berhubungan dengan kata Islām, kata tersebut berarti “orang yang berserah diri kepada Allah” dalam bahasa Indonesia (Wikipedia).

Jilbab menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (2003) ialah kerudung lebar yang dipakai wanita muslim untuk menutupi kepala dan leher sampai dada. Sedangkan kerudung berarti kain penutup kepala perempuan.

Jilbab (Aisha Rahma) dalam bahasa Arab artinya kain lebar yang diselimutkan ke pakaian luar yang menutupi kepala, punggung, dan dada, yang biasa dipakai wanita ketika keluar dari rumahnya. Sedangkan pengertian manfaat menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (2003) adalah guna; faedah. 

Jadi pengertian manfaat jilbab menurut islam dan sains adalah kegunaan kain penutup kepala perempuan yang menutupi kepala, punggung, dan dada dilihat dari sisi agama islam dan ilmu pengetahuan.

B. Kriteria Jilbab

Adapun kriteria jilbab adalah sebagai berikut:

1. Meliputi seluruh tubuh (kecuali telapak tangan dan wajah).

2. Bukan berupa perhiasan dalam bentuk pakaian. Artinya bukan berupa bordiran, batik, dan motif.

3. Kainnya tebal dan tidak tembus pandang.

4. Longgar dan tidak sempit.

5. Tidak diberi wangi-wangian.

6. Tidak menyerupai pakaian laki-laki.

7. Tidak menyerupai pakaian khas wanita kafir.

8. Tidak merupakan pakaian yang menarik perhatian ataupun dianggap aneh.

C. Manfaat Jilbab Menurut Islam dan Sains

Allah memerintahkan sesuatu pasti ada manfaatnya untuk kebaikan manusia. Dan setiap yang benar-benar manfaat dan dibutuhkan manusia dalam kehidupannya, pasti disyariatkan atau diperintahkan oleh-Nya. Di antara perintah Allah itu adalah berjilbab bagi wanita muslimah. Berikut ini beberapa manfaat berjilbab menurut Islam dan Sains.

1. Selamat dari Adzab Allah (Adzab Neraka)

“Ada dua macam penghuni Neraka yang tak pernah kulihat sebelumnya; sekelompok laki-laki yang memegang cemeti laksana ekor sapi, mereka mencambuk manusia dengannya. Dan wanita-wanita yang berpakaian namun telanjang, sesat dan menyesatkan, yang dikepala mereka ada sesuatu mirip punuk unta. Mereka (wanita-wanita seperti ini) tidak akan masuk surga dan tidak akan mencium baunya. Sedangkan bau surga itu tercium dari jarak yang jauh” (HR. Muslim).

Imam An-Nawawi rahimahullah menjelaskan bahwa yang dimaksud dengan “Wanita-wanita yang berpakaian namun telanjang” ialah mereka yang menutup sebagian tubuhnya dan menampakkan sebagian lainnya dengan maksud menunjukkan kecantikannya.

2. Terhindar dari Pelecehan

Banyaknya pelecehan seksual terhadap kaum wanita adalah akibat tingkah laku mereka sendiri. Karena wanita merupakan fitnah (godaan) terbesar. Sebagaiman sabda Nabi Muhammad shallallahu alaihi wasallam:

“Sepeninggalku tak ada fitnah yang lebih berbahaya bagi laki-laki dari pada wanita.” (HR. Bukhari).

Jikalau wanita pada jaman Rasul merupakan fitnah terbesar bagi laki-laki padahal wanita pada jaman ini konsisten terhadap jilbab mereka dan tak banyak lelaki jahat saat itu, maka bagaimana wanita pada jaman sekarang??? Tentunya akan menjadi target pelecehan. Hal ini telah terbukti dengan tingginya pelecehan di negara-negara Eropa (wanitanya tidak berjilbab).

3. Memelihara Kecemburuan Laki-Laki

Sifat cemburu adalah sifat yang telah Allah subhanahu wataala tanamkan kepada hati laki-laki agar lebih menjaga harga diri wanita yang menjadi mahramnya. Cemburu merupakan sifat terpuji dalam Islam.

“Allah itu cemburu dan orang beriman juga cemburu. Kecemburuan Allah adalah apabila seorang mukmin menghampiri apa yang diharamkan-Nya.” (HR. Muslim).

Bila jilbab ditanggalkan, rasa cemburu laki-laki akan hilang. Sehingga jika terjadi pelecehan tidak ada yang akan membela.

4. Akan seperti Bidadari Surga

“Dalam surga itu ada bidadari-bidadari yang menundukkan pandangannya, mereka tak pernah disentuh seorang manusia atau jin pun sebelumnya.” (QS. Ar-Rahman: 56). “Mereka laksana permata yakut dan marjan.” (QS. Ar-Rahman: 58). “Mereka laksana telur yang tersimpan rapi.” (QS. Ash-Shaffaat: 49).

Dengan berjilbab, wanita akan memiliki sifat seperti bidadari surga. Yaitu menundukkan pandangan, tak pernah disentuh oleh yang bukan mahramnya, yang senantiasa dirumah untuk menjaga kehormatan diri. Wanita inilah merupakan perhiasan yang amatlah berharga. Dengan berjilbab, wanita akan memiliki sifat seperti bidadari surga.

5. Mencegah Penyakit Kanker Kulit

Kanker adalah sekumpulan penyakit yang menyebabkan sebagian sel tubuh berubah sifatnya. Kanker kulit adalah tumor-tumor yang terbentuk akibat kekacauan dalam sel yang disebabkan oleh penyinaran, zat-zat kimia, dan sebagainya.

Penelitian menunjukkan kanker kulit biasanya disebabkan oleh sinar Ultra Violet (UV) yang menyinari wajah, leher, tangan, dan kaki. Kanker ini banyak menyerang orang berkulit putih, sebab kulit putih lebih mudah terbakar matahari.

Kanker tidaklah membeda-bedakan antara laki-laki dan wanita. Hanya saja, wanita memiliki daya tahan tubuh lebih rendah dari pada laki-laki. Oleh karena itu, wanita lebih mudah terserang penyakit khususnya kanker kulit.

Oleh karena itu, cara untuk melindungi tubuh dari kanker kulit adalah dengan menutupi kulit. Salah satunya dengan berjilbab. Karena dengan berjilbab, kita melindungi kulit dari sinar UV. Melindungi tubuh bukan dengan memakai kerudung gaul dan baju ketat. Kenapa? Karena hal itu percuma saja. Karena sinar UV masih bisa menembus pakaian yang ketat apalagi pakaian transparan. Berjilbab disini haruslah sesuai kriteria jilbab.

6. Memperlambat Gejala Penuaan

Penuaan adalah proses alamiah yang sudah pasti dialami oleh semua orang yaitu lambatnya proses pertumbuhan dan pembelahan sel-sel dalam tubuh. Gejala-gejala penuaan antara lain adalah rambut memutih, kulit keriput, dan lain-lain.

Penyebab utama gejala penuaan adalah sinar matahari. Sinar matahari memang penting bagi pembentukan vitamin D yang berperan penting terhadap kesehatan kulit. Namun, secara ilmiah dapat dijelaskan bahwa sinar matahari merangsang melanosit (sel-sel melanin) untuk mengeluarkan melanin, akibatnya rusaklah jaringan kolagen dan elastin. Jaringan kolagen dan elastin berperan penting dalam menjaga keindahan dan kelenturan kulit.

The Books of Islam

History of the Quran:
 
The Qur’an:

“Reading” The Quran is the “Word of God” to Islam. About 4/5 the length of the New Testament. Muslims believe the identical book is in Heaven and Allah sent the angel Gabriel to Mohammed to reveal his “Word”. The Quran is divided into 114 chapters or Surahs. The Surahs are revelations given to Mohammed during his 23 years of “Prophethood” from 610 AD to 632 AD. 

The Quran, composed during Mohammed’s lifetime corresponds to the time and circumstances of his life. The Surahs or chapters can be divided into three time periods.

The earliest Surahs are the shortest and known as Early Meccan, and date from 610 to 622 AD. Composed in Mecca, prior to Hejira where Mohammed fled to Medina in September 622 AD.

The Median Surahs were composed during the time Muslims controlled the city of Medina. They date from 622 to 630 AD. The doctrine of Jihad was introduced as war was waged against Mecca and its  idol worshipers. Animosity toward the Jews and Christians increased as they rejected Mohammed as a prophet from God.

Late Meccan Surahs were between 630 and 632 AD. The last 2 years of Mohammed’s life after Mecca surrendered to his authority. 
 
Surahs were at this time not collected in one book but were memorized and collected on various items. In the battle of Yamamah in 633 AD many of the Hafiz died. The Hafiz were Muslims who had committed much of the Quran to memory. With the urging of Umar, Zayd ibn Thabit, one of Mohammed most trusted secretaries was appointed to the task of collecting the Quran into one book. Still later after different versions of the quran began to appear Zayd was put in charge of collecting all the Qurans throughout the Muslim world and issuing an authorized copy in the place of ones collected.  

The Quran makes the appeal to its beauty and consistency with previous scriptures as proof of its inspiration.
23 And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true.
24 But if ye cannot - and of a surety ye cannot - then fear the Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones - which is prepared for those who reject Faith. Surah 2:23-24

 
The Hadith:
 
“Tradition” After the death of Mohammed, his followers collected his sayings and actions in books to guide and direct their beliefs. They give additional meaning behind the Surahs and help interpret their meanings. The most respected Hadith are Bukari, and Muslim. Muslims do not feel the Hadith is the “Word of God”.  They would compare the Hadith, to the Gospels, which reports what Jesus said.  The Quran is the Word of God from Heaven via Gabriel.

Who is a Muslim: A Muslim is someone who has submitted to Allah. One submits to Allah by confession of the Shahada or the 5 pillars of faith.  Besides the five major beliefs or doctrines in Islam, there are these are observances in Islam which are foundational practices or duties every Muslim must observe.

The Five Pillars of Faith

1. “The Confession” "La ilaha illa llah" "There is no God but God."  The Shahada, (Testimoney)
Kalima There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah.
2. Salat Prayer 5 times a day facing Mecca
3. Zakat Almsgiving
4. Fasting during the month of Ramadan, from sun-up till sundown.
5. Hajj Pilgrimage to Mecca once a lifetime

The Beliefs of Islam

The Five Articles of Faith

1. God: There is only one true God and his name is Allah. Allah is all knowing, all-powerful and sovereign judge.  Yet Allah is not a personal God, for he is so far above man in every way that he is not personally knowable.  The emphasis of the God of Islam is on judgment and power, not grace and mercy. To the Muslim mind, calling God father means God connotes sexual relationship. 

255 Allah! there is no god but He, the living, the self subsisting, eternal. No slumber can seize him nor heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in his presence except as he permitteth? he knoweth what (appeareth to his creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of his knowledge except as he willeth. His throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and he feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for he is the most high, the supreme (in glory).Surah 2:255

2. Angels:  Angels in Islam serve Allah’s will such as Gabriel delivering the Koran to Mohammed. Angels do not perform any bodily functions (sexual, eating., etc) as they are created of light.  Angels serve different purposes; each person has two recording angels who record his/her good or bad deeds.      
    
Jinn : Are spiritual beings created out of fire….who are ranked between angels and men and can be either good or bad. Satan was a Jinn and not a fallen angel according to Islam.
27 And the Jinn race, we had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.
Surah15:27   
 
Satan: A Jinn who refused to fall prostrate before Adam after he was created. He is the leader of evil ones in the world. 

50. And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam,
and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He was of the Jinn, so he
rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed for
your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto you?
Calamitous is the exchange for evil doers!
Sura 18:50

3. Scripture: There are four inspired books in Islam: Quran, Torah, Ingil and Zabur. The Torah, Ingil and Zabur: “Books of Moses, The Gospel of Jesus, and Psalms of David” These are books mentioned in the Koran as God’s Word but most Moslems feel the current books are corrupt. For this reason Allah gave Mohammed the “Quran”. Many Muslims  try to find Mohammed in the Bible and feel he is  referred to in Deuteronomy 18:16, John 14:6.

4. Prophets: In Islam God has spoken through numerous prophets down through the centuries, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus.  The greatest prophet and the last prophet is Muhammmad, he is the seal of the prophets.

163 We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: We sent inspiration to Abraham, ismail Ismaÿil, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms.
164 Of some messengers We have already told thee the story; of others We have not- and to Moses Allah spoke direct-
Surah 4:163-164

5. Last Days: The last days will be a time of Ressurrection and judgment.:
Resurrection: Everybody will be resurrected to stand before Allah to be judged in the Last Day. Those who follow Allah and Mohammed will go to Paradise others will go to Hell. Everybody will pass through Hell and even some Muslim will spend time in Hell till their sins are burned away and Mohammad intercedes for them. 
 
Hell:  Hell is a place of Allah judgment where Muslims will spend sometime before entering paradise, unbelievers will have no escape. Muslim’s believe Mohammed will intercede for them and deliver them from Hell.

AbuSa'id al-Khudri

SAHIH MUSLIM

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:  The (permanent) inhabitants of the Fire are those who are doomed to it, and verily they would neither die nor live in it (quran al-QurŸan, xx.47; liiixii.13).  But the people whom the Fire would afflict (temporarily) on account of their sins, or so said (the narrator) "on account of their misdeeds," He would cause them to die till they would be turned into charcoal.  Then they would be granted intercession and would be brought in groups and would be spread on the rivers of Paradise and then it would be said:    O inhabitants of Paradise, pour water over them; then they would sprout forth like the sprouting of seed in the silt carried by flood.  A man among the people said:  (It appears) as if the Messenger of Allah lived in the steppe.

AL-MUWATTA of Imam Malik (Hadith)
Abdullah ibn Abbas
 
Then I saw the Fire - and I have never seen anything more hideous than what I saw today - and I saw that most of its people were women.'
They said, 'Why, Messenger of Allah?'
He said, 'Because of their ungratefulness (kufr),'
Someone said, 'Are they ungrateful to Allah?'
He said, 'They are ungrateful to their husbands and they are ungrateful for good behaviour (towards them). Even if you were to behave well towards one of them for a whole lifetime and then she were to see you do something (that she did not like) she would say that she had never seen anything good from you.'"

Paradise: Described in the Quaran as place underneath the Earth that flows with rivers of wine and “wide eyed” virgins of beauty.
 
And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.

20 And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
21 Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy.
22 Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognized.
Surah 76:19-22 See Also Surah 2:25,

Christianity and Islam

Jesus: Jesus is just a prophet and not the Son of God. He is only a prophet to the Jews who was not crucified but was caught up into Heaven. God placed a substitute in his place on the cross. Many Muslims feel the substitute was Judas. Jesus is the Messiah who is coming at the end. He will kill all the Jews, Christians and pigs break all crosses get married and die 40 years later and be buried in Medina next to Mohammed. The Resurrection will follow.

157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah"- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not-
158 Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise- Surah 4:157-158,
So peace is on me The day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that
I shall be raised up to life (again)!
Sura 19:33

Holy Spirit:  The angel Gabriel is recognized as the Holy Spirit within Islam, or as some commentators think angels in general. 

If ye two turn is repentance to Him, your hearts are indeed so inclined; but if ye back up each other against him, truly Allah is his Protector, and Gabriel, and (every) righteous one among those who believe, and furthermore, the angels will back (him) up.
Sura 66:4

Salvation: The Muslims believe in salvation by obedience to Allah. Mohammed will intercede on the behalf of Muslims before Allah. In a scale, Allah will weight the sins and good deeds to determine the punishment. Time in Hell will be necessary to pay for sins that outweigh good deeds. After which the “Muslims” will be accepted into Paradise. Non-Believers will go to Hell with no hope of escape. Those who die in Jihad or Holy War will go directly to Paradise where 72 virgins will be awaiting him. 

Al-Miqdam ibn madikarib Ma'dikarib (Hadith)
MISHKAT AL-MASABIH (Hadith)
 
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The martyr receives six good things from Allah: he is forgiven at the first shedding of his blood; he is shown his abode in Paradise; he is preserved from the punishment in the grave; he is kept safe from the greatest terror; he has placed on his head the crown of honour, a ruby of which is better than the world and what it contains; he is married to seventy-two wives of the maidens with large dark eyes; and is made intercessor for seventy of his relatives."
 
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
MISHKAT AL-MASABIH (Hadith)

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The lowliest of the inhabitants of Paradise will be he who has eighty thousand servants, seventy-two wives, and for whom a round pavilion of pearls, chrysoprase and rubies as large as the distance between al-Jabiyah and San'a will be set up." By the same isnad he said, "Those who are to go to Paradise, who die whether young or old, 

Sin: Man is born sinless and all people are Muslims at birth. But lack of obedience to Allah is sin. Sin is by action only and not by nature.

Sources of the Quran: 

Where did the Quran come from? The Quran claims Allah is its  source of the Quran is a copy of  an identical book is written in Heaven that was given Gabriel to give to Mohammad in intervals. 
 
105 We sent down the (Quran) in truth, and in truth has it descended: and we sent thee but to give glad tidings and to warn (sinners).
106 (It is) a Quran which we have divided (into parts from time to him), in order that thou mightest recite it to men at intervals: we have revealed it by stages.
Surah 117:105-6
History gives us a different answer. The Quran’s content can be traced to sources in existence prior to Mohammed birth.  A few of these sources can be found below.

Jewish sources of the Quran
1. Visit by the queen of Sheba to Solomon  as recorded in Sura 27:17-30

And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts, of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks.
18 At length, when they came to a (lowly) valley of ants, one of the ants said: O ye ants, get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it.
Sura 27:17-18
This same story is recorded almost verbatim in the Talmud work II Targum of Ester 1,2

2. Abraham saved from Nimrod’s Fire as recorded in the following Suras 2:260, 6:74-84, 21:52-72, 19:42-50, 26:69-79, 24:15-16, 37:81-95,

We bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and well were we Acquainted with him.
52 Behold! he said to his father and his people, what are these images, to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted? 53 They said, we found Our fathers worshipping them.
Sura 21: 52-53

The source for this story is from the Midrash Rabbah on Genesis

3. Cain and Abel Sura 5:30-35
Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hid the shame of his brother. Woe is me said he; was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother? then he became full of regrets
-Sura 5:30

The source of this story can be found in the book
Pirke Rabbi Eleaszer in the Midrash. The only difference being that the crow shows Adam not Cain how to bury Abel.

4. Harut and Marut The two angles of Babylon.

They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men magic, and such things as came down at Babylon
the angels Harut and Marut.
Sura 2:109

This same story is taken from the Midrash Yalkut the only difference being the two angels named are Shamhazi and Azael. But the names of Harut and Marut were two idols worshipped far back in Armenia. They were assistants to the female goddess Aspandaramit. The Zoroastrians regarded her as the spirit of the earth.

Heretical Christian Sources

5. The Seven Sleepers, or Companions of the Cave. Surah 18:9-26
9 Or dost thou reflect that the companions of the cave and of the inscription were wonders among our Signs?
10 Behold, the youths betook themselves to the cave: they said, our Lord bestow on us mercy from thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way
11 Then we draw (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years,
in the cave, (so that they heard not): Sura 18:9-11
The legend is Greek and is found in the Latin work of Gregory of Tours. Seven men of the city of Ephesus take refuge from persecution in a cave during the reign of Decius (249-251 AD) they wake in the reign of Theodorus II 447 AD. Christianity being the faith of the empire. This was a mere story to illustrate the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire.

Zoroastrian Sources
6. Quranic view of Paradise Sura 55:72, 56:22

Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),
18 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of Clear flowing fountains:
19 No after ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication:
20 And with fruits, any that they may select;
21 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.
22 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes
Sura 56:18-22
The picture of Paradise with beautiful virgins waiting for men is not found in any of the Old or New Testament but can be traced to the Zoroastrian concept of Paradise Paries or Fairies –spirits in bright array and beautiful, to captivate the heart of a man. The name houry is derived from an Avesta or Pahlavi source. As well as jinn for genii and bihvisht (Paradise) signifying in Avestic “The better land”.

Islamic Fundamentalism:
 
Fundamentalism is a hard-line literal view of the world through the eyes of the Quran.  Islam is at war with Jews and Christians for world domination in the cause of Allah. As the earlier Muslims were at war with cities refusing to accept Mohammed as the prophet, Fundamentalist see themselves involved in a Jihad[1] or Holy War against the West. 

Fundamentalist see the United States as Satan’s power in the battle with Islam. Television, movies, alcohol, carnal lifestyles and their influence on Muslim countries pits the US and the West at war with Islam. Furthermore, the United States support for Israel  enrages Muslims, Israel is seen as Enemy No.1 to Muslim nations. For three main reasons;

1. There is great deal of hostility toward Jews within the Koran and Hadith. They view Jews are seen as the killers of prophets and enemies of God. Muslims who are strict students of the Koran see themselves at war with Jews.
Bukari ( Hadith)

Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said: The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

SAHIH MUSLIM (Hadith)
O ye who believe take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. Surah 5:51

2. The nation of Israel occupies land formerly held by Muslims and Fundamentalist see themselves as solders in a battle to regain the land. Palestinian suffering is a rallying cry to Muslim nations for Jihad.

3. Jerusalem and The Dome of the Rock: The location of Solomon's Temple is the 3rd most Holy Place to Muslims. And Jerusalem has been a Holy Muslim city for the last 13 centuries. The Dome of the Rock was built on the Temple site to demonstrate Islam as the final religion in the world. Jewish talk of rebuilding the Temple infuriates the Muslim world.

The situation with Israel, the West and Islam cause Fundamentalist to apply the principle of Jihad to the West.  America is seen as idolatrous Mecca who stood in the way of the Islam advance. Attacks on the West via terrorism are seen as justified based on the attacks on the enemies of Islam in the same way the early armies of Islam waged war on its enemies.

Jihad: Jihad is battle in the cause of Allah in which the fighter gains immediate entry to Paradise. The Muslim has the right to slay anybody who has attacked Muslim sovereignty. This was considered one of the
Allah hath purchased of the Believers their persons and their goods; for their (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise): they fight in His Cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in Truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the quran QurŸan: and who is more faithful to his Covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
Surah 9:111.

if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands, seize them and slay them wherever ye get them: in their case we have provided you with a clear argument against them.
Surah 4:91

190 Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
191 And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them.
Such is the reward of those who suppress faith
Surah 2:190-191
