The Opportunity to Life

Just sharing my experiences, and some of them I got books and tausiyah and sharing with friends. We are as God's creatures in the world have a responsibility to live better. Responsibility to comply with the good life. To be a human being obedient for His commands and leave all His ban. We got opportunity to life in this world are different for every human, there are only one minute after birth, two days, 23 years, 56 years, 65 years or 1000 years. We do not know how long we will live in this world. Although we are healthy life, maybe we have a short time to life, even people who are sick are given long life by Allah SWT to live in this world.

The greatest grace we received from Allah SWT is the grace of Iman and Islam. We were born in a state of faith in Him. All our lives are governed by Allah in the Quran.  It was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW in order to be able to run a better life in this world and the afterlife. But there are still many moslem and including me that have not been able to practice all of which are described in the Quran.

Every day,  we still do many sins even though we know it is a sin, and we do not do our duty as His creatures, even though we know what we have to do. And, we still think that we can life and have long age in this world, so we think that we can be good and remove our sin in old age. Please think that we will never know when we will die, it could be a minute, an hour, a day, a month or a year later or even hundreds of years later. However, we still hold to the principle that we are trying to doing goodness and leave the evil and sin as we will die tomorrow.

It is just for sharing and we remind each other. And, we can choose which one is good and right for our life and the world hereafter because there may be assumed that the speaking or writing easier than doing it.

I remember about five years ago, when I returned to Bukittinggi because on that day the death of my sister. On the way from  Soekarno-Hatta airport to Minang Kabau airport as long as on the way, I listen the Nasyeed song from Opick, and there is one song that I always repeat, which says that

Live in the world, just briefly

When grief, when laughter

Hopefully we will be back into Allah

Time is running

It never comes back again

When hard, when sad

Tear is not everything

Only the servants of God who always surrender

Because everything depends on Him

Only in Him all headed

Second time will pass

Love and grief will pass

Not all immortal

cry, laughter and tears

All passed and gone

It just a piece of nasheed, which reminds us that the time will never be back, so we should be able to use the time wisely for goodness. All that we have, including ourselves going back to him. Do not waste your time and use the opportunity given to us to live better in the world and hereafter by following all his commands and leave all of his ban.

Please don’t think that all of our religion ask is ancient and not modern.  Please look again, this time our lives are more ancient because it follows the lifetime of ignorance before the revelation of the Quran. Women are not respected, a man like a woman, or a woman like a man, people are proud about their beauty and their body and don’t care about sins, pride in doing evil and ignorance, and many more.

Hope we can use our time for doing goodness and get better life in this world and afterlife, Amin..

Kesempatan Hidup

Hanya sharing pengalaman, dari referensi bacaan buku dan tausiyah serta dari hasil sharing dengan teman. Kita sebagai makhluk ciptaan Allah di dunia memiliki tanggung jawab untuk hidup lebih baik. Tanggung jawab untuk memenuhi kehidupan dengan kebaikan. Untuk menjadi manusia yang patuh terhadap perintah Nya dan meninggalkan segala larangannya. Waktu yang diberikan Nya kepada setiap manusia berbeda-beda ada yang hanya satu menit setelah lahir, dua hari, 23 tahun, 56 tahun, 65 tahun atau 1000 tahun. Kita tidak tahu berapa lama kita akan berada di dunia ini. Walaupun keadaan kita sehat belum tentu akan hidup lebih lama dan bahkan orang yang sedang sakit diberikan kesempatan hidup lebih lama oleh Allah SWT untuk hidup di dunia ini. 

Nikmat yang paling besar yang kita terima dari Allah SWT adalah nikmat iman dan Islam. Kita dilahirkan dalam keadaan beriman kepada Nya. Semua kehidupan kita sudah diatur oleh Allah SWT dalam kitab suci Alquran yang diturunkan kepada Rasulullah SAW agar dapat menjalankan kehidupan lebih baik di dunia dan akhirat. Namun masih banyak diantara kita termasuk saya belum dapat mengamalkan semua yang sudah dijelaskan dalam kitab suci Alquran.

Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masih banyak berbuat dosa walaupun kita tahu itu adalah dosa, masih tidak melakukan kewajiban kita sebagai makhluk Nya walaupun kita tahu apa yang harus kita lakukan. Dan kita masih beranggapan bahwa usia kita akan lama hidup di dunia dan akan bertobat di hari tua nanti. Padahal kita tidak akan pernah tahu kapan kita akan meninggalkan dunia ini. Bisa jadi semenit, sejam, sehari, sebulan atau setahun kemudian atau bahkan ratusan tahun kemudian. Namun tetap kita memegang prinsip bahwa kita berusaha untuk berbuat kebaikan dan meninggalkan keburukan seolah kita akan meninggalkan dunia ini besok.

Hal ini hanya untuk saling berbagi dan kita saling mengingatkan satu sama lainnya. Dan kita bisa memilih mana yang baik dan benar untuk kehidupan kita dunia dan akhirat. Karena mungkin ada yang beranggapan bahwa berbicara atau menulis lebih mudah dibandingkan melaksanakannya.

Saya teringat sekitar 5 tahun lalu, saat pulang ke Bukittinggi saat meninggalnya adik perempuan saya. Selama perjalanan dari bandara Soekarno-Hatta ke Bandara Minang Kabau menuju rumah, saya mendengarkan lagunya Opick, dan ada satu lagu yang selalu saya ulangi, yang mengatakan bahwa

Hidup di dunia, hanya sebentar saja

Bila duka, bila tawa

Semoga hati kembali pada Nya

Waktu yang berlari

Takkan pernah bisa kembali lagi

Bila perih bila sedih

Air mata bukan segalanya

Hanya hamba Allah yang selalu berserah

Hanya hamba Allah yang selalu berpasrah

Karena segalanya bergantung pada Nya

Hanya pada Dia semua bermuara

Detik waktu kan berlalu

Suka duka kan berlalu

Tiada semua abadi

Tangis tawa dan air mata

Semua berlalu dan pergi

Dari sepenggal lirik lagu Nasyid di atas, yang mengingatkan kita bahwa waktu tidak akan pernah bisa kembali, sehingga kita harus dapat memanfaatkan waktu dengan sebaiknya untuk kebaikan. Semua yang kita miliki termasuk diri kita akan kembali kepada Nya.  Jangan sia-siakan waktu dan gunakan kesempatan yang diberikan Nya untuk kita agar dapat hidup lebih baik di dunia dan akhirat dengan cara mengerjakan semua perintah Nya dan meninggalkan semua larangan Nya.

Jangan pernah berpikir bahwa apa yang diperintahkan agama adalah hal yang kuno tidak modern, coba pikirkan kehidupan kita yang sekarang lebih kuno, karena mengikuti kehidupan zaman jahiliyah sebelum diturunkannya kitab suci Alquran. Wanita sudah tidak dihargai, pria seperti wanita, atau wanita seperti pria, kehidupan yang sejenis, bangga akan kecantikan dan tubuh, bangga dalam berbuat kejahatan dan kebodohan, dan masih banyak hal kuno yang terulang kembali di masa sekarang.

Semoga kita dapat menggunakan waktu dan kesempatan ini untuk kebaikan di dunia dan akhirat. Amin...

~ LOVE SOMEONE ~

Love someone
Behind the silence of women
Held in the heart the deep longing
Behind the cool of women
Held in the heart the real affection
Behind jealous of women
Held in the heart the true love
Behind angry woman
Held in the heart the compassion unimaginable

Just one minute to guess someone
Just one hour to like someone
And just one day to love someone
But…
Need a lifetime to forget someone

If we can't able to reach loved from a love
So reach it for your prayer
It is not difficult for Allah to turn the heart of someone
If Allah will it, so ask for Allah
To bring you to someone who love Allah
And he will loves you because of Allah

Love teach us holy and beauty
Don’t touch her phisically
Because she is not halal for you
Touch her by your true holy heart
Because a good man always keep honor of a woman

A good woman shy to express her feeling
She just express what held in her heart
It is not for everybody
Love the quietly in her prayer
To make sure her feeling to someone

And the last is give it all to Allah for the best of us...

Lesson from Anakluh Movie

Just now I watched a movie about loving, maturity and sincerity. This is a movie film that launched in 2011. The title is Anakluh. Tell about a woman, name is Indayu (43 years old). She was single parent that was left by her husband. She had a two daughter, they are Mira (23 years old) and Kirei (19 years old). Idayu met Nando (43 years old) that was a single man. Their meeting was finding a match each other so that they were in love. Otherwise, her daughter Mira that was close to Nando has in love as well.  Although Mira like that, Idayu never blame her daughter, she tried to open with her daughter like a friend and tried to understand about her daughter's feeling to Nando.

Many lesson that I can learn from this movie that a woman is a great and strong person, but she is a weak person in front of her lover. She has a leadership in her life and in her environment that love her. She can open herself in everything and do positive to be great. She has a maturity in dealing everything that she finds in herself. She always keeps her love although she has a love before. But she always keeps it. She believes that the empty room in her heart has filled with love. She doesn't force her love because she doesn't want to hurt her lover before. In the running of time, she believes  that true, sincere and holy love will bring them together with her lover. She believes that her environment will understand and accept the feelings of love that she feels.

A mature woman has the patience to face her lover that has an emotional. Fidelity of a mature woman always makes the person that she loves as a friend, who always there when she is happy and hard. A woman has a sincere love for her lover not because of who is her lover and what her lover has, but because of what it is her lover. Besides that a woman has to be a great and able to do everything in her life and her environment that love her without demeaning the dignity as a woman. She should be strong and emphatic in the face of her love.
