The Guest House

( by Jalaluddin Rumi )

Diri ini, yang sedang menjadi manusia
adalah sebuah wisma tamu.
Setiap pagi, datang tamu yang baru.

Kegembiraan, kesedihan, atau sifat buruk
sedikit pengetahuan diri hadir sebentar
sebagai tamu yang singgah tanpa perjanjian.

Sambutlah, dan jamulah mereka semuanya!
Biarpun tamumu hanya sekerumunan nestapa
yang melanda rumahmu dengan kasar
dan mengangkut seluruh isinya,
tetaplah hadapi setiap tamu dengan mulia.
Bisa jadi ia sedang mengosongkanmu
demi kedatangan banyak kebahagiaan baru.

Niat buruk, rendah diri, dengki,
sambutlah mereka di pintu dengan tertawa,
dan ajak mereka masuk.

Berterimakasihlah
atas apa pun yang didatangkan padamu,
karena setiap tamu adalah utusan
dari sisi-Nya, sebagai penunjuk jalanmu.

'The guest house by Jalaluddin Rumi,
Thank u to a friend who has informed me about this writing'

Actually, I don't have enough knowledge about analyzing poetry
Nevertheless, there's a little thing that I want to share after reading this poetry.

At the end, Each of us wish for the best which leads us to a happiness feeling
But.....
What is a happiness?
Is it something that we called as a dream come true?
Is it a laughing ?
Is it a smiling ?
Is it when we are not feeling sad?
If a feeling of happiness is one of Allah's gifts, how about sadness
where does it come from ?
There's nothing in this world whether as material or immaterial
runs without Allah's will behind
Smiling after happiness is an ordinary thing
but smiling after sadness is an extra ordinary one.
My friends...... life itself is a gift
we are weak..... nothing can be compared
on front of the Almighty
Today ...
We are good persons
Tomorrow ....
We might be kind of bad persons
I wonder what would I be in the next time ????

innii qoriibun min hablil mariid
"I was closer than artery"
Allahushshomad
"Allah is where we can hang on"

The thing is coming closer but it couldn't be touched. There lies hope and dreams which has no description anymore remembering that the hope and dreams have been reappear over and over again reaching zero conclusion. Now, there's only a pray for the best thing and a God's light that can bright my mind and heart keeping me from unblessing fantasy. The happiness is shouting far away deep inside me. The confusion has been interrupting my brain. The sadness appears to tease my faith to Allah the Almighty.The will has pushed me so down that I couldn't see to the other thing.The thing has been so long stayed in my heart.It's not an unresponsible passion or desire.I don't know how it starts. It comes unintentionally. As harder I push it away as easier it attacks my mind. It's complicated but it could be understood someday as long as u realize that life is about thinking of the lesson behind His Will. Can I do that? Will I cope the effect of the feeling I have now? One big question for me have I tried my best ? Lit me up with Your Light, Yaa Robbii, Yaa Kariim

My Pray

2009-10-07T19:55:00.001+07:00

Being a holy person
I've just read a book about woman's dilema. "Dilema" I meant is a condition where woman had a special phase biologically in monthly. And in that condition, many women felt that they became declined in their journey of devoution. I guess there are many things I found in this book which I thought also had became my problem long before. I wish His light will guide me heartly and logically.

The light upon a light

2009-09-29T08:17:00.001+07:00

There’s a proverb tells,

خَيْرُ جَلِيْسٍ فِى الزَّمَانِ كِتَابٌ

“khoiru jaliisin fizzamaani kitaabun”

Book is a good friend ever in a time

That would fit by me, remembering that my friends are taking a vacation with their lovely family. And me? Sitting here in front of you…

Last Friday, I read a book written by Pa’ Quraish entitled “Yang Tersembunyi” which is a gift from a friend. I’ve had it since May but I’ve just read the preface in September.

Can you imagine it?

Here’s the story,

For hard reading book, sometimes I didn’t read it as a whole but I read it based on the sub theme that I like or the content supported for some answers of a question that I have at the time. So, I already read it but I started it in random.

Today, I read chapter 5 and the next day, I read chapter 3. Actually, it’s not a good habit in reading activity. That’s why I can tell now that my hobby is getting a book, not reading a book.

In the preface, the book said about “The light upon a light”.

In the book stated that Imam Ghazali gave a description of it as a potential of human’s absorbing power. The potential itself is in phases.

The first phase is gained from the five senses, symbolized by a hole which is not pierce.

And the second phase is the light in the hole. The light is a mind that can get information from the sense.

Then, their combination, mind and sense produce meaning and ideas which are still unclear in the boundaries. The boundary is parable of a tube that covers the light. The tube will follow how the light formed.

Then, where does the light get the power to lit ?

It comes from the olive, got from a blessing tree. The tree is symbolized as God’s vision and inspiration, called as an intuition. There’s how God gives you His lead. It’s in phases.

While Pa Quraish reminds us truly not to stop in the first phase coz the information or vision we get from the sense could make a mistake or even trick us. For that, you can put out the light. So, you have to combine it with your mind.

But….. he also warned us not to stop on the second phase coz the information in mind could put out the light also.

Then… we have to find a good oil to keep the light lit.

He told us to pick special oil, that is God’s Vision.

If you can unite those potentials, mind, sense and intuition, then you’ll got the light upon the light. At the time there’s no hazy or blurred view on you, Insya Allah.

The question is…

How we can achieve God’s vision to keep the light in the tube ? There are some ways to achieve but in the end….

All things happen based on Allah’s will. I have not enough knowledge to describe “That Ways”. I just can say that the ways are lied on how great your effort to get close to Allah.

From the description, it realized me some points.

Everything which might be good according to eyes and mind, it doesn’t mean that it is good. Coz you have to reach Allah’s light to inform you that it is good for you. Here… there’s no doubtful for you to continue.

Everything that you plan might go not in the same way that you plan coz the plan itself is organized by mind and it hasn’t been interrupted by The Greatest Controller.

Everything that you understand might not be the true one and the only one coz the truth of what you think are still products of mind, His light would just make you understand that the only truth lies on His. You don’t have a right to make a statement that yours are the true one.

At last, I’d like close it with this bright words written by a friend

The light upon a light

Shining light has been there.

Passing over the boundaries of will

Coming and slipping into all base

Pointing a sign of the beginning of a life

Ya lahi… allow us to feel Your Light

The light that can shine

Ease us in doing Your command

Uniting a pure bond of Yours

Good People

2009-09-27T07:19:00.000+07:00

خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَنْفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ

“ khoirunnaasi anfa’uhum linnaas”
“ good people are those who are useful for others”

Happiness is a feeling when you felt useful for someone else. No matter what big or perhaps, any little thing you do for someone else. That’s why human being is also called as a social creature, one of Allah’s creatures which has a great will and desire to think or care of another persons or living thing.

In that way, you’ll feel alive. You’ll feel happy when you are alive. That’s the nature character of you, dear people. Helping someone is the nature character of you.
Then find your happiness by helping other people and other Allah’s creatures in this world.
For that, you have been as Allah’s presence in this world or as in Al Quran language, Khalifah Allah.

Nevertheless…. there’s nothing in this world goes without Allah’s will. Everything goes from and back to Allah. You just play a tiny role in every great and honored thing you do in this world. Remember, dear people….. Vanity, arrogance, feeling great …
There’s no right for you to have those in your heart.

You’re not a nicest one ….
You’re not a noble one ….
You’re not a holy one ….
But you have a right in learning to achieve that position.

Thus… don’t let your afraid feeling stop you to do great and happiness thing to others.
All great and happiness thing don’t come from you only.

Wake up…. Dear people, all praise is belong to Allah.
In that way.… you’ll be prepared if someday thing goes turn back badly to you.

Cheer up…. Dear people, there’s a temptation for mu’min.
Mu’min will be tempted by their treasure, family, women, and other valuable things in this world. Bad and good things are as temptation for you.

WELCOMING EID el FITRI

2009-09-23T06:28:00.001+07:00

There are 2 kinds of eid celebration that we know.
Eid el Fitri is a celebtarion of victory after Ramadhan Month. And, Eid el Adha is a celebration in Hajj month, Dzulhijjah.

The purpose of fasting is Taqwa
How about the purpose of Eid el Fitri?
In Al Quran told, It has been completed, the fasting that you accomplish day by day so that you glorify Allah SWT and be grateful.

Being grateful is ..

Showing what is hidden. Allah has created the universe without nothing. Then you thank God for His creation by searching and using the benefits of every creation He made. The function of honey bee, for example. And other things which are still hidden you reveal it through your knowledge and desire. Those are kinds effort to thank to God.

Giving much even though you accept less

Realizing that how great Allah’s gift is and function it well in Allah’s way.

About Eid el Fitri
In language view, Fitrah means pure, the nature of creation and the right religion.

Pure means beautiful, good and right.
Someone who celebrates Eid el Fitri always tries to look beautiful
Someone who celebrates Eid el Fitri always tries to do good thing
Someone who celebrates Eid el Fitri always trie to convey the right thing

Truthfully, when someone is having Eid el Fitri, he/she wears something, that is the cloth of Taqwa.
The cloth has been designed beautifully along with a good and right way in making it.

Dear muslims…..
Don’t be like a parable; a woman is an old story who turns the threads into a part back.
Don’t you pull back the problems or sad memories which have already passed by time circle.

أَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ وَ أَوْرَثَنَا اْلأَرْضَ

Alhamdulillahilladzii shodaqona wa’dahu wa awrotsanal ardho
All praise to Allah who has kept His Promise to us and inherited the earth.

FORGIVENESS

2009-09-20T13:45:00.004+07:00

Human is a spot where forgiving and forgetting lies.
No matter how great the person is…. Someone must have fault. Which means faults that someone else does could be also made by you.

If you can’t forgive the other. Someone else could do the same to you too.
There are three response we can find in things of forgiving.

First, you forgive people after you took a revenge which is more than what people do to you.
Second, you forgive people after you paid it back with the same thing or deed that people has done to you.
Third, you forgive people and you give in to Allah then you demand it back in the end day. And you could also give it in all to Allah and wish for Allah’s punishment.

There are many possibilities and behavior that we can find in the way of responding forgiveness.

Someone say ; “ I forgive you but …”
But dear friends….
That is not a forgiving.
Forgiving is omitting, erasing, deleting.

There’s no “but” in forgiving…..
Forgiving sincerely is omitting and erasing all bad things deep in our heart which is caused by the action that people do to us.

That’s all the resume which I made from the show of Kultum presented by Pa’ Quraish on TV.
In that case… all things which is wrong would come from me.

In this chance, I’d like to ask forgiveness to you all, my relatives in Islam.

Wish we all are belong to a group of people who forgive others sincerely.

Love is ....

2009-09-04T22:53:00.000+07:00

In this time, I'd like to share Pa' Quraish' thought performed in his show.

Love is undefine. At the time you define love, means that it is not a love. Coz the definition of love is the love it is. Many people or philosophists define love but they haven't entered the meaning of love as wholly. You 'll only understand the way of love.
Love is a gift from Allah. He puts part of His good names into human's soul.
Mind is something which can hold things in a logical way. You would understand things based on knowledge that you had understood.
Heart is something which can hold things that you feel. You would understand things based on what your heart say or feel. A mother won't eat food that she likes before she knew her child has already eaten.
You can't combine those things in one way. Mind won't understand what heart say and heart won't understand what mind say. But Love to Allah can unite those two things.
Allah loves His servant whoa are patients, honored in attitude, good people and in devoution to Allah.
A love to human must accept people you love as the way it is. If you love people, you have to be ready as the bad things happen.
A love comes from introduction goes to respect into responsibility and it lead the way to loyalty.
The top of love is Mawaddah.
" A love between human is the emptiness of soul from bad things no matter what bad things come to you."
That's a love between human which I might say it as true love.

"If only it is as easy as I write it."

Friendship

2009-09-03T04:04:00.003+07:00

On last show of Kultum brought by Pak Quraish, I saw him a little bit late. So, there are some that I can assume.
He talked about FRIENDSHIP, there are some characteristics of Good Friend.
First, A good friend would lead a friend into a good way. You would not let a friend into a wrong way. Second, you would respect and honor a friend's word or principle. Third, you would bind your friendship in the line of devoution to Allah.
Share your ideas and hope with your friends. You would never know which way Allah gives you lead in life.

I'm Back

2009-08-25T09:57:00.002+07:00

Dear heart and mind...
I'm so sorry, I've left you for months.
You have no idea how things go through into my life.
Many works to do recently.
I thought that we can't do all things in one time.
So.. I decide to leave you for a second.
I didn't know that leaving you is a bad decision.
I felt empty without you...
I am not a smart person but writing to you feels great..
But now...
I'm back.
Hope that I can love you so that what ever things happened I won't leave you.

The late Version

2009-08-25T09:39:00.004+07:00

Ramadhan has came. I just felt like a fool person. Knowing something, realizing something but I can do better for it. I am definitely know that there are many special things, glorious things, amazing things in Ramadhan but I haven't done great things to prepare for this month.
Many hopes I wish ....
Many thoughts I expect to understand...
Many good activities I need to do sincerely...
A philosopher says; "Human is a full intention creature."

One thing for sure
I wish for the love I have can be greater.
Getting greater so that I can always be close to You.
Bright my hear with Your Light.
Bless me... Ya Allah.
Don't Leave me...

Awakening Lyrics

For the women who are in an anxiety facing this life.
I present this song to you ……

WANITA SHALIHAH

The Fikr

Wanita Shalihah adalah sebaik-baik keindahan Menatapnya menyejukkan kalbu mmendengarkan suaranya menghanyutkan batin Ditinggalkan menambah keyakinan
Wanita Shalihah Bidadari Surga yang hadir di dunia Wanita Shalihah adalah ibu dari anak – anak yang mulia Wanita Shalihah adalah istri yang meneguhkan jihad suami
Wanita Shalihah penebar rahmat bagi rumah tangga, cahaya dunia dan akhirat

Perhiasan yang paling indah bagi seorang abdi Allah
itulah ia wanita shalihah, dia menghiasi dunia
Perhiasan yang paling indah bagi seorang abdi Allah
itulah ia wanita shalihah
Aurat ditutup demi kehormatan
Kitab Alqur’an didaulatkan
Suami mereka ditaatinya
Walau berjalan di rumah saja
Karena iman dan juga Islam telah menjadi keyakinan
Jiwa raga mampu dikorbankan
Harta kemewahan dilaburkan
Di dalam kehidupan ini dia menampakkan kemuliaan
Bagai sekuntum mawar yang tegar
Ditengah gelombang kehidupan

Aurat ditutup demi kehormatan
Kitab Alqur’an didaulatkan
Suami mereka ditaatinya
Akhlah mulia yang ia hadirkan
Karena iman dan juga Islam telah menjadi keyakinan
Jiwa raga mampu dikorbankan
Harta kemewahan dilaburkan
Di dalam kehidupan ini dia menampakkan kemuliaan
Bagai sekuntum mawar yang tegar
Ditengah gelombang kehidupan

Ad-dunya mataa’ , khoirul mataa’ al mar`atus sholihah
A world is jewelry; the best jewelry of the world is a virtuous woman.
Dear women in the world….
Do you know ?
In the life of a success man, there is a greatest woman behind.
In the life of a strong man, there is gentleness of a mother behind.
But in Islam, a higher position than being a greatest woman is a virtuous woman.
Islam called it as al mar’atus sholihah (Wanita Sholehah)
Sholehah is from the word “assulhu” which means peace.
A virtuous woman is a person who can spread love and care to her husband, children, family and her surroundings.
Being a virtuous woman is a process of being an obedient servant to Allah.
It is not a hard thing but it is a struggled thing

Ha ... Ha.. Ha..

2009-05-12T20:36:00.007+07:00

Some says that a fool person is the one who did
the same mistakes over and again and ... again.
What would you say if it's a matter of heart?
Hmm... That's why I've heard a saying that "Love is a fool one"
I won't write much about this.
Coz there's nothing to be said to a fool one.
Uhh... Don't bully yourself !!!!
The fact lies in front of you.
Dear girl,
Get yourself to works and ideas.
You're not a fool one.
You just have to go back to your deepest will.
Have a faith to Allah.

Turn this love to be a love to You...

2009-05-10T07:55:00.010+07:00

In hadits Qudsi, Almighty Allah says:
“Oh son of Adam, I have created garden for you, and before you can enter the garden I created, I expel the evil from it. And there’s a heart in yourself which should be a garden that you set for Me.”
“Hai anak Adam, Aku telah menciptakan taman bagimu, dan sebelum kamu bisa masuk ke taman ciptaan-Ku, Aku usir setan dari dalamnya. Dan dalam dirimu ada hati, yang seharusnya menjadi taman yang engkau sediakan bagi-Ku.”

My friend said that she was hard forgetting someone.
Forgetting someone is not an easy way to be faced on.
Especially to the one who has stayed in your heart.
To you all who's hard in forgetting someone.

Yaa Robbii… forgive us for keeping You away from our mind and heart.
We didn’t intend to walk on this way.
Your gift for us is a great feeling.
Loving is a great feeling that we ever felt and thought.
But …. Where should we take this feeling to ?
There’s something not right keeping this feeling in our heart.
A love to only someone ?
The feeling which made us remind more than reminding You... God
Many ways we tried to put it away from our heart and mind.
But what did we do….
The feeling is getting deeper dropping us down to the lowest level.
We're so weak ……
I followed what evil asked us to….
Which is stepping our heart and mind away from You.
Which is holding on to the yearning of his presence in our eyes… our ears… our heart and mind.
Yaa Robbii ………Forgive us.
Yaa Robbii ………Don’t leave us.
Help us … God.
Help us putting him away from heart and mind.
You’re the Only One where I yield on.
Then…
I realize one thing.
There’s nothing in our life happened without having any meaning.
It is because of You … God, We can feel love.
We can smile remembering how peaceful loving Your creature.
We can stand up seeing that how beautiful the life lies in front of us.
We realize how weak our love to You, Yaa Robb….

Yaa Robbii...
Guide us in getting through this feeling.
Feeling of caring someone.
Turn this feeling into a blessing one.
Turn this feeling to build our love to You.
Lead us to put You in our heart.

Dear friend…
Everything is on God's will.
Being your friend would be just wonderful for us.

Woman's Heart

2009-05-09T20:59:00.007+07:00

People say that woman speaks with their heart while man speaks with his mind. I've seen proves on that. A women would ask to her self "How does she/he feel if I did this?" and a man might ask this kind of question "What will happen next if I did this?". When a woman watched a child crying on TV, she would say "Ya Allah....Poor child" When a man watched the same one on TV, he would say "What's going on with that child".
Both things, heart and mind are valuable gift from Allah. Allah created human in mates. Allah gives heart and mind to human. Both things are completing each other.
Dear women ...
What ever sad things happened in your life.
Don't let those sad things close the door to the happy time.
Dear women out there...
Get closer to Allah and pure your heart. Let the heart speaks to you.
Dear women in the world...
Everything is created with knowledge. Let the mind helps you to keep stand up.
There's nothing to be sad of...
There's nothing to be cried on...
Except bad things we did in this world.

Woman's History

2009-05-09T17:17:00.004+07:00

In Qur'an training that I followed last Sunday, there's a man told that why we can find a book about "woman in Tafsir" but we can't find a book about "Men in Tafsir". It reminds me on my writing. Years ago I read a book entitled "Reinterpretasi Gender" written by Barbara Freyer Stowasser. I bought it in Islamic Book Fair years ago. Hereby, I'd like to share my ideas concerning about the book.

Reinterpretasi Gender.

Dalam istilah bahasa, Gender adalah jenis kelamin. Dalam buku ini, pengarang membahas tentang status, kedudukan dan peran gender sebagaimana yang tergambarkan dalam Al Qur’an, hadits and tafsir.
Barbara menggambarkan kehidupan kaum perempuan masa kini banyak dipengaruhi oleh hikayat maupun sejarah pada zaman Nabi.Oleh sebab itu, ia banyak menghadirkan cerita-cerita serta asal muasal ditetapkanya suatu hukum yang menyangkut perempuan.
Akan tetapi cerita-cerita tersebut banyak ia ambil berdasarkan tradisi israiliyat yakni kisah-kisah yang terdapat dalam kitab terdahulu, injil maupun taurat. Dan, para ulama telah meninggalkan ijtihad dengan cara ini karena tidak sesuai dengan ajaran Islam. Bahkan, cerita-cerita tersebut bak cerita dongeng hasil buah karya manusia.
Akan lebih baik bila kita tidak memaksakan diri untuk memikirkan asal-usul suatu peristiwa dan memantapkan diri bahwa hari dimana terbukanya rahasia akan tiba. Biarkan asal muasal suatu peristiwa yang sesungguhnya menjadi rahasia dan sambutlah hikmah yang dapat diambil dari peristiwa tersebut.
Sejarah kehidupan perempuan berawal dari kisah Nabi Adam dan Hawa ketika di surga. Meskipun terdapat banyak variasi hikayat yang dihadirkan, beberapa hikayat menunjukkan Siti Hawa memiliki pengaruh negatif kepada Nabi Adam sehingga membuat dirinya tergoda oleh rayuan syetan.
Sejarah pembangkangan Nabi Adam menuntun para ahli kitab terdahulu untuk menyimpulkan pandangan bahwa kaum perempuan adalah makhluk penggoda. Citra perempuan sebagai penggoda memunculkan sikap hati hati bagi kaum lelaki yang sayangnya berujung pada pembatasan hak-hak kaum perempuan di dalam tatanan kehidupan bermasyarakat.
Allah SWT menciptakan manusia berpasangan untuk merasakan anugrah ketentraman
(Ar Rum : 21), laki-laki dengan kegagahannya merindukan kedamaian dan perempuan dengan keindahannya merindukan keamanan. Namun dengan keistimewaan keduanya, Seringkali pihak yang berkuasa baik kaum lelaki maupun perempuan melupakan fungsinya sehingga menimbulkan pengekangan terhadap kaum minoritas, Pengekangan itupun telah menjadi nilai-nilai kehidupan yang agung dan mulia dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Baik laki - laki maupun perempuan memiliki kemampuan yang sama, pihak yang berkuasalah yang menentukan ketentuan hukum yang berlaku. Pemahaman kontekstual tentang kaum lelaki sebagai pemimpin bagi kaum perempuan memastikan pentingnya kedudukan laki-laki sebagai pemimpin bagi kaum perempuan. Sudah menjadi kodrat lelaki untuk menjadi pemimpin bagi perempuan, menjadi penguasa bagi kaum perempuan.
Sikap protes Umar terhadap istri-istri Nabi Muhammad yang harus menjaga kehormatan merupakan salah satu sebab turunnya ayat bagi kaum perempuan untuk memisahkan diri. Dalam firmanNya surat Al-Ahzab : 53, Allah memerintahkan kepada para istri Nabi Muhammad untuk megulurkan jilbab dan memisahkan diri dengan hijab ketika di dalam rumah. Setelah itu, turun ayat yang memerintahkan seluruh mu’minat untuk mengulurkan jilbab. Di zaman kehidupan Nabi tentunya ayat ini menjadi tuntunan pasti terhadap situasi pada saat itu. Perbedaan pendapat yang bermunculan merupakan akibat dari daya pikir akal untuk mengartikan ayat tersebut secara tekstual dan kontekstual.
Terlepas dari berbagai opini tentang batasan aurat perempuan sebagaimana yang dikemukakan oleh para ulama, kebijaksanaan ini telah menghadirkan pandangan bahwa kehidupan wanita akan lebih terhormat ketika ia mengabdikan diri kepada pasangan hidupnya maupun keluarga. Dengan pengertian sempit, kaum perempuan terhormat cukup hanya memiliki pengetahuan serta pengalaman bagaimana mengurus rumah dan keluarga.
Barbara juga menghadirkan kisah perempuan2 lainnya di zaman kehidupan Nabi yang pernah dikisahkan dalam Alqur’an, tafsir dan hadits dari beberapa pengarang. Kisah-kisah tersebut menggambarkan bahwa kaum perempuan memiliki hak bebas untuk memilih dan bertindak sesuai dengan keyakinannya. Kisah perempuan yang rentan menjadi bahan perdebatan adalah ketika menyangkut perzinahan dimana perempuan sebagai makhluk penggoda yang menyebabakan timbulnya perzinahan.
Di akhir bab, Barbara mengemukakan beberapa paradigma kaum modern terhadap permasalahan perempuan. Ketetapan hukum mengenai perempuan sebagaimana yang telah dikisahkan dalam Alqur’an harus dipandang secara bijak. Kaum modernis berpendapat bahwa hal tersebut harus disesuaikan dengan kemajuan zaman dan kondisi yang telah tercipta dalam masyarakat.
Secara radikal, kaum modernis memfokuskan pada reinterpreatasi Islam secara sempurna dengan menggunakan pendekatan-pendekatan baru terhadap teks Alqur’an. Kita harus lebih hati-hati dalam menggunakan “Pendekatan baru” ini karena pendekatan yang terpusat secara aqliyyun tidaklah absolut. Pendekatan utama bagi umat Islam dalam berijtihad adalah Alqur’an dan Hadits.

What Should We Discuss Today ?

2009-05-05T18:02:00.000+07:00

Last Sunday I followed the training of Translation of Qur'an by word. The training is held in a room located in one of the mosques in Jakarta. The training is only around three hours long. It's quite amazing realizing that most participants are people in the age above forties. There are only few of them in age above 25. In spite of whether the training is limited for certain people or certain group, I think it was a great beginning for Indonesian Society to spread the spirit of understanding the Qur'an. There's something that's boggling my mind outside of the traning material. The speaker said that why do most of women are eager to spend their time discussing about the story of movie they watced at night on TV than discussing about words of Qur'an they read. It was a shocking phenomenon for us as moslems. It hasn't been a common secret anymore for us coz I my self realize that fact. Honestly, It critized us. There are so many topics in Qur'an but why we are not used to discussing about one of those fabulous topics. Realizing is the beginning phase into an intention which won't be implemented without deed and effort

Awakening Lyrics

2009-05-03T01:44:00.000+07:00

For those persons who are in waiting someone,
I present this song to you .........

NANTIKANKU DI BATAS WAKTU
EDCOUSTIC

Di kedalaman hatiku
Tersembunyi harapan yang suci
Tak perlu engkau menyangsikan
Lewat keshalihanmu
Yang terukir menghiasi dirimu
Tak perlu dengan kata - kata
Sungguh walau ku kelu
Tuk mengungkapkan perasaanku
Namun penantianmu pada diriku
Jangan salahkan
Kalau memang kau pilihkan aku
Tunggu sampai aku datang
Nanti kubawa kau pergi
ke syurga abadi
Kini belumlah saatnya
Aku membalas cintamu
Nantikanku di batas waktu

Dear friends….. One says that waiting is an annoying but if only we can think deeply.
There is a lesson in “waiting”.
I think that waiting is a reflection of our patience and belief.
Through waiting, we can estimate how great our patience is and how strong our belief is.
Patience is not only about accepting what we got in life
but it is also about yielding on God’s will as His servant.
Sometimes a faith is in increasing and in another time is decreasing.
When a thing didn’t happened as well as just what we wanted to,
don’t give up on your God’s compassionate.
Allah is the only one where people should be lied on.
Whatever things you hope for, just lie your hope on Allah.
Allah is the one who can bring back and forth on people's heart.
Don't be afraid…..
Don't be sad…….
Allah is with us…..
Allah is closer than our artery.
“Then when though has taken a decision put thy trust on Allah” (Ali Imran;159)

For you who are in waiting someone.
Just believe that everything is on God’s hand.
Allah has created us in mates.
There is a mate for you out there.
Don’t break your hope on Rahmatullah.

About a Life

Life is a beautiful thing. It's so dynamic. There lies a goodness and badness, happiness and sadness. I'll smile when I see a goodness around. I'll be scare as I felt badness around me. I'll scream loud and laugh looked brightly when I'm happy. There'll be tears drop as I felt sadness

But... that's a life.

No matter what happened....

No matter how hard it is...
No matter how much tears drop...

No matter how bad your feeling is...

There's a lesson behind those things.

A lesson which will make you stand up facing the life.

A lesson which should be able leading you to an enternl happiness in an enternal life.

Cry .... if you can't stand anymore.

Laugh... if things make you happy.

And remember ...

things which Allah has determined in life are

death, rizki, life couple, happines and sadness in life

Express your life in Allah's Way.
