Hopes and Desires

Bismillahirrahmanirrahiim ...

Today I tried to write again, after I was off for a few  months. Many events that happened as a lesson in my life. Good-bad, sick-healthy, happy-sad, disappointed-satisfied and everything I had got it. All of that events are as lesson to be better in my life. But sometime I am not able to accept it specially bad things, so that the incident is like a disaster that's scary for my life.

In life, we have hopes and desires. Hope and desire to good life, to study, to marry, had a love, to get peace of life, etc. This all gives us encourage to stay and alive. We always try to make effort to obtain it.  Whatever effort and the way that we do to reach its and whatever the response of others to see our effort, but we still are struggling to get it. But we have to keep in mind and heart to choose which one is good and right way to get it, so that is not conflict with our religion and conscience.

I have a lot of hopes and desires, there are some that have been achieved and there are some that still trying to achieve it. And, even there are not yet achieved. It is difficult to pass when hopes and desires are not achieved. But for me, I ll try to think positive and get rid of thinking negative as much as possible. Many positive perceptions about it, there may Allah SWT has not given a chance for us because there are still shortcomings in ourself, there may be events that will be better than what we hope, or there may have run a long way to get it. For it is one of the steps that we should do is to have self-introspection in ourself. So that we can obtain well what we hope and what we desire.

Sometimes in this life has a strong ambition to get something that we hope and desires. But, if we don't base on religion and God, all we have gained is not blessing for our life. We have hope and desire for a certain thing, and we have been confidence to get it, although others will think that it is impossible.  But please don't be discouraged, always able to have confidence and trust to Allah SWT and always say thank to Him, by His power we ll get what we hope. Insya Allah…

Just, never waste what we have gained at this time, so we do not let regrets happen in the future. Sometime, we have something at this moment, and we do not appreciate it. But when we lose it, then we realize that something is very precious and valuable in our life.

And while we have gained something and we still feel doubt about it, while we're trying to remove it with sincerity, and if it returns to us, it means Allah SWT give it for us and if it does not return to us, it means that there are more good things that Allah SWT has given for us.

One thing that has always been a guideline in my life is always doing an act with sincerity and only because of Allah SWT, optimistic without a sense of arrogant and conceited, then we will get it and will be beautiful of in the end.

Disaat Harapan dan Keinginan belum Terwujud

Bismillahirrahmanirrahiim…

 Hari ini saya mencoba menulis lagi, setelah sekian bulan off…

Banyak kejadian yang saya alami sebagai pelajaran dalam hidup ini. Buruk baik, sakit sehat, sedih senang dan kecewa puas semuanya pernah saya alami. Semua kejadian yang menimpa kita adalah suatu pembelajaran buat hidup agar menjadi lebih baik, namun terkadang kita tidak dapat menerima kejadian buruk tersebut dengan ikhlas sehingga kejadian tersebut menjadi suatu musibah yang menakutkan bagi kehidupan kita ini.

Dalam hidup, kita memiliki harapan, keinginan dan cita-cita. Harapan dan keinginan untuk hidup layak, bersekolah, berkeluarga, memiliki cinta, ketenangan hidup, dan lainnya.  Inilah yang selalu memberikan kita semangat untuk hidup. Dikala kita menginginkan dan mengharapkan sesuatu terjadi, kita akan berusaha untuk memperolehnya. Apapun bentuk usaha dan yang cara kita lakukan, apapun tanggapan orang lain terhadap kita, namun tetap berjuang untuk memperolehnya. Tapi kita punya akal dan hati untuk memilih mana cara yang baik dan tepat untuk memperolehnya agar tidak bertentangan dengan ajaran agama dan hati nurani kita.

Saya memiliki banyak harapan dan keinginan dalam hidup ini, ada sebagian yang sudah tercapai dan ada sebagian yang masih berusaha untuk mencapainya. Dan bahkan ada yang belum tercapai. Di saat keinginan dan harapan tersebut tidak tercapai, hal ini memang sulit  untuk dilalui, namun saya coba untuk berpikir positif dan membuang sebanyak mungkin pikiran negatif dari hal tersebut. Banyak anggapan positif akan hal tersebut, mungkin Allah SWT belum memberikan kesempatan karena masih adanya kekurangan dalam diri kita, mungkin ada kejadian yang akan lebih baik dari yang kita harapkan atau mungkin masih panjang jalan yang harus kita tempuh untuk memperolehnya. Paling tidak harus mengintrospeksi diri sehingga kita dapat memperoleh apa yang kita harapkan dan kita inginkan tersebut.

Kadang dalam hidup ini  memiliki ambisi yang kuat untuk mendapatkan sesuatu yang kita inginkan, namun jika tidak landasi dengan agama dan Tuhan, apa-apa yang telah kita peroleh tersebut tidak membawa berkah dalam kehidupan. Memiliki harapan dan keinginan akan sesuatu hal, dan dengan teguh hati akan memperolehnya suatu saat, walaupun orang lain mengetahui hal tersebut akan mustahil terjadi. Namun jangan berkecil hati, selalu memiliki keyakinan mampu dan dilandaskan kepercayaan pada Allah SWT dan selalu bersyukur kepada-Nya, dengan seizin-Nya apa yang kita harapkan akan kita peroleh nantinya.

Jangan pernah sia-siakan apa yang telah kita peroleh saat ini. Jangan sampai terjadi penyesalan dikemudian hari.  Di saat kita memilikinya dan kita tidak menghargainya, namun disaat kita kehilangannya, baru kita menyadari bahwa sesuatu tersebut sangat berharga dan bernilai dihidup kita.

Dan disaat kita sudah memperoleh sesuatu hal dan kita merasa ragu akan hal tersebut. Pada saat mencoba untuk melepaskannya dengan ikhlas, dan jika hal tersebut kembali kepada kita berarti dia diberikan Tuhan untuk kita, namun jika tidak kembali kepada kita, berarti masih ada hal yang baik yang diberikan Tuhan kepada kita.

Satu hal yang selalu menjadi pegangan dalam hidup adalah selalu melakukan sebuah tindakan dengan penuh keikhlasan dan semata karena Allah SWT dan optimis tanpa adanya unsur takabur dan sombong, maka semua akan indah pada akhirnya.

LoVe tHe LoVeR

Love is a gift from God. It cannot be exchanged for anything. It cannot be bought or paid in cash. It was there in the sacred heart.  It could come any time and we don't know when, where and how. It can come to anyone without our prior. It can come at the right time or even when that is not right.

Love is crazy, love is blind, love is unpredictable. Sometimes love is painful, but nevertheless remains that love cannot be eliminated. Love means we care and respect each other, mutually supportive and comforting, reminding each other to be goodness, trust and attention and make ourself be better in this world and hereafter.

Love because of good physical, wealth, and position or all of material things, it is not true love because all of its will be lost and our love will be lost as well. True love will be always in our heart, never lost although we are not with lover, but it still keeps in our heart. True love will be never ending. We love the lover what he is that can guide us into God. We love for all his strength and his weakness.

Love for God is a love most appropriate because the love of God will never be lost. Love to lover because of God, it will be maintained in our hearts because we hope that our love will be blessed by God. Love to lover may come at the right time or not. Maybe we feel love when that is not right when we already has and it may be difficult for us and otherwise it may be difficult as well if a love is coming when no one has. However, love as a gift from God. Because of love, we know lover each other, we feel peaceful and happy life.

For those who have a love, be grateful and hopefully meet with lover who loves. Hope Allah blessed our sincere love and given the opportunity to live together. And, thanks to my lover who loves me sincere and hope Allah hafidz and bless our love. Amin

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.

Air Terjun Lembah Anai

Sumatera Barat dikelilingi oleh bukit-bukit, gunung-gunung, lembah-lembah, danau-danau dan air terjun. Salah satu air terjun yang mudah ditemui adalah air terjun Lembah Anai yang berada di kawasan Lembah Anai. Terdapat tiga air terjun dan satu telaga yang airnya berwarna kebiru-biruan. Salah satu air terjun terletak di pinggir jalan yaitu air terjun Lembah Anai dan dua lainnya tertutup oleh lebatnya hutan. Keindahan telaga dan dua air terjun lainnya dapat ditempuh sekitar 15 menit dari lokasi air terjun Lembah Anai.

Air Terjun Lembah Anai berlokasi di pinggir jalan raya Padang-Bukittinggi, yaitu kecamatan Sepuluh koto Kabupaten Tanah Datar. Sumber airnya dari gunung Singgalang yang airnya sangat jernih mengalir menyusuri  perbukitan dan lereng lalu mengalir melewati cagar alam sebelum sampai ke tebing yang memiliki ketinggian 50 m dan membentuk kawah tempat air berkumpul. Air terjun yang satu ini terletak dipinggir jalan raya, sehingga jika kita melewati jalur Bukittinggi – Padang akan melewati air terjun ini. Air terjun yang berkabut dan membentuk gugusan yang berwarna-warni jika disinari matahari.

Lembah Anai merupakan kawasan cagar alam dan terkenal dengan air. Cagar alam Lembah Anai terdapat beberapa tanaman langka salah satunya bunga bangkai (amorphyphalus titanium) yang tumbuh subur di tengah hutan. Selain itu terdapat beberapa tanaman kayu. Disamping itu terdapat hewan langka yang hamper punah seperti harimau sumatera, rusa, siamang, kera ekor panjang, beruk, trenggiling, kancil, tapir dan biawak.  Hewan yang sering dijumpai di sepanjang jalan menuju Lembah Anai adalah kera ekor panjang, siamang dan beruk yang selalu ,mencari makanan di sepanjang jalan raya.

Untuk memasuki cagar alam, dibutuhkan tenaga pendamping yang dapat mengantarkan pengunjung langsung ke tempat hewan-hewan biasa main dan mencari makan. Akses ke air terjun lembah anai sangat mudah ditemukan, karena lokasinya yang berada di pinggir jalan raya. Jika perjalanan dimulai dari Bandara Internasional Minang Kabau, hanya memerlukan waktu tidak lebih dari 1,5 jam.
