Ayo ……. Cari sertifikat

Ada fenomena baru di kalangan mahasiswa saat ini, khususnya mahasiswa pendidikan keguruan. Ya, fenomena berlomba-lomba cari sertifikat sebanyak-banyaknya. Bukan karena ingin menambah ilmu tapi karena nantinya sertifikat itu bakal dipake buat kelancaran sertifikasi. Ya ,adanya sertifikasi guru memang menjadi angin segar bagi para lulusan kependidikan. Jaminan gaji yang lumayan tinggi mampu menarik animo masyarakat untuk menyekolahkan anaknya di fakultas kependidikan. Padahal dulu guru dianggap sebagai profesi yang tak ada harganya.
Program pemerintah yang satu ini memang punya tujuan yang bagus, yaitu untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan yang diawali dari peningkatan kesejahteraan guru. Tapi ternyat toh cara ini tak cukup ampuh. Bahkan sekarang justru banyak orang yang ingin jadi guru karena ingin gaji yang tinggi, tak lagi karena keinginan untuk mengabdi pada negerinya. Para generasi muda pun tak kalah memalukan. Dimana ada seminar yang bersertifikat mereka beramai-ramai ikut seminar itu. Untuk apa? tentu saja biar sertifikatnya numpuk trus gampang dah lolos sertifikasi. YA………. semoga saja kesalahkaprahan ini tidak berlanjut lebih lama lagi. Dan semoga pemerintah tak lagi berpaku pada sertifikat dalam menyeleksi calon pendidik.

SELAMAT JALAN PAK JK………..

JK, lengkapnya Muhammad Jusuf Kalla, satu dari segelintir orang yang menurut saya bisa menjadi dirinya sendiri. Jauh dari kemunafikan, tidak basa basi dan tegas dalam mengambil keputusan. Sungguh amat sangat disayangkan ketika beliau tak lagi menjabat sebagai wakil presiden. Mungkin banyak orang yang tidak suka dengan pembawaan JK yang apa adanya dan kadang dianggap tidak mencerminkan sebagai seorang petinggi negara. Tapi itulah JK , seseorang yang tidak mau berpura-pura dihadapan orang lain. Kini perlahan orang mulai tau betapa seorang JK sangatlah istimewa dan bisa dibilang “limited edition” di Indonesia. Sayang ya Jk g terpilih sebagai presiden. Nggak bisa dipungkiri memeng, orang-orang di negeri ini cenderung menyukai presiden yang “kalem” dan njelimet. Semoga akan ada “the new JK” di negara ini dan semoga JK tetap bisa melanjutkna pengabdiannya buat negeri Indonesia tercinta. SELAMAT MENJALANI HIDUP YANG BARU PAK JK…………………….

MENGEMIS pun Sekarang Pake Proposal LHO!

Sudah beberapa hari ini aku mengamati kejadian yang cukup menggelitik.
Ya….. hampir tiap hari ada saja “pengemis” yg datang meminta sumbangan. Berbekal proposal pembangunan masjid mereka berkeliling mencari sumbangan. Anehnya selalu proposal masjid yang sama dan (mohon maaf sebelumnya) selalu dari madura.
Benar adakah masjid yang tetera di proposal itu/
Wallohu a’lam bisshowaab
Sungguh menyedihkan memang ketika qt melihat para peminta-minta itu menjadikan agama islam sebagai kedok. Dg tampilan yg islami mereka secara tidak langsung membuata citar agama islam semakin hina.
Orang-orang kemungkinan akan berfikir bahwa umat islam adalah umat yg malas………
yang maunya hanya meminta-minta tanpa mau bekerja
Ironis memang………………
Dalam agama islam sendiri sebenarnya diajarkan bahwa tangan diatas lebih baik drpd tangan di bawah (tau kan maksudnya hehe)……
tapi kenapa ya mereka justru seperti itu………………………..
Ya meskipun belum tentu juga mereka orang islam ……………..
Tapi yang mereka pakai untuk mengemis adalah proposal pembangunan masjid……..(Astaghfirulloh)
Saya sempat bertanya sama salah asatu pengemis yg datang ke tempat saya kenapa kok proposalnya dari masjid yang sama . Mereka kayaknya agak malu juga pas tak tanyain gitu, tapi ya ada saja lah bahan buat ngeles………………
Terkadang aq merasa heran sama apa yang mereka lakukan
Mereka masih cukup muda untuk bekerja dan menghasilkan uang tanpa harus mengemis……………
Apa mereka tidak pernaha merasa malu ya terhadap orang-orang yang sudah tua renta tapi masih giat bekerja…………………………

NA’UUDZUBILLAH TSUMMA NA’UUDZUBILLAH MIN DZALIK

Wow g kerasa ya bentar lagi dah pemilu.Padahal kyaknya baru kemaren nyoblos .eh……. skarang dah suruh nyoblos lagi. Enaknya nyoblos apa ya………?
Nyoblos orangnya langsung aja kali yaaaaaaaa ……..
Sedikit flashback…………
Pemerintahan SBY-JK yang hampir berakhir (kalau SBY g jadi pres lagi ) ternyata masih jauh dari apa yang mereka janjikan waktu kampanye dulu.
Belum ada kemajuan yg signifikan……
banyak rakyat kecil yg kelaparan…….
Petani bingung karena pupuk langka…..
Mau jadi pegawai negeri mesti nyogok dulu……. (mending klo nyogoknya pake tongkat, lha ini pake uang )………….
Korupsi juga masih merajalela (Meskipun udah banyak yang ditangkap sih)

Untungnya harga BBm dah turun (bukan gara2 kebaikan hati pak SBY lho, tapi karena harga minyak dunia emang turun) so P.SBY jgn Ge Er hehehe
Negara ita emang butuh pemimpin yang benar2 bijak,amanah & jujur
Tapi rakyat juga harus mendukung
rakyat harus cerdas dalam memilih calon pemimpin…..
Jangan cuma milih karena dikasih uang…….
katanya g suka korupsi ………….
Lha itu apa namanya kalau bukan korupsi
sama ja kayak menelan ludah sendiri tu namanya……….
Sekarang pilihan ada di tangan kita…………
mau pilih pemimpin yang cuma pengen nampang atau pemimpin yg benar2 ingin mengabdi untuk negaranya……………..

enaknya posting apa ya

AKHIR PEKAN KELABU

Mungkin ungkapan ini yg paling tepat buat nggambarin suasana akhir pekan di lingkungan kontrkanku. Pasalnya Kemaren ada tetangga kos yg meninggal karena gantung diri + minum baygon. Trus malam ni ada lagi yg meninggal gara2 sakit. Ya memang semua orang akan mati . Tapi melihat fenomena seperti ini seakan mengingatkan kita bahwa betapa singkatnya waktu yg diberikan pada kita untuk hidup di dunia. Sebuah kesempatan emas yg harusnya kita manfaatkan dg sebaik-baiknya. Setidaknya dari 2 kejadian tersebut aku bisa belajar untuk lebih menghargai hidup. Cak Karen yg meninggal gara-gara gantung diri ternyata sudah lama melakukan percobaan bunuh diri tapi selalu gagal. Ironis memang, banyak orang yg ingin hidup lebih lam tapi cak karen justru sebaliknya.Ya seperti itulah kalau setan sudah menguasai diri kita . Logika pun tak lagi dipakai. Terkadang ada gunanya juga hidup santai . Ketika ada masalah kita tidak terlau memikirkannya sehingga tidak sampai terjadi hal-hal seperti itu. Ya semoga dari kejadian -kejadian ini kita bisa lebih mendekatkan diri pada Sang Pencipta

Ketika Emosi Menyapa

Mungkin benar apa yang disebutkan dalam pepatah Arab ” Obatilah kemarahan dengan diam “. Sangat sulit memang mengontrol emosi ketika kita sedang marah .Dan itulah yang akhir-akhir ini terjadi padaku . Sebenarnya ini penyakit lam , eh kambuh lagi dah sekarang hehe.
Kalau udah nyangkut protes memprotes aku ni emang g bisa tinggal diem. Apalagi kalau lagi g suka sama kebijakan dosen , bisa g berhenti -berhenti protes aku. Temen- temnku banyk yang bilang kalau aku ini orang yang paling sadis di dunia . Ya gara- garanya aku ini seneng banget yang namanya memprotes dosen. Terus terang aku agak keberatan juga dibilang kayak gitu. Tapi ya sudahlah , g papa juga .Biarkan saja mereka berpikir kayak gitu.
Terkadang aku juga suka menyesal karea kadang kelewatan pas ngomong sama dosen . Tapi aku begitu kan demi mereka juga . Gimana ya , mungkin dah bawaan orok kali ya. Kalo ada sesuatu yg g srek di hati suka ngomel- ngomel gitu. Sekarang mungkin aku lebih banyak diemnya kalao lagi pengen marah. Ya belajar jadi orang sabar. Emang sulit sih ,tapi ya harus .
Apalagi pas banyak dosen yg ngeselin kayak minggu ni, beeh bisa naik lagi ni darahku hehe.
Tapi jujur ya aku g ingin buat mereka sakit ati. Nada bicaraku emang kayak gini lagi .
Buat temen-temen yg merasa pernah sakit hati gara-gara omonganku , maafin aku ya . Buat Dosen – dosenku juga dah , mohon maaf setulus-tulusnya .

STRES , obatnya?

Belakangan banyak temen2 ku yg lagi stress nie. entah gara-gara kuliah, pacar, kerjaan n masih seabrek lagi tu sebabnya. Ya mungkin dah jadi tren orang jaman sekarang kali yaaaaaaaaa. dikit-dikit stress .hehehehehe

Buat temen-temen yg lagi stress nie da tips buat nyingkirin tu virus :

# Kendalikan pikiran

Manusia rata-rata mempunyai 60.000 pikiran dalam sehari, dan hampir 80% dari pikiran-pikiran itu negatif. Bayangkan, bagaimana pengaruh pikiran ini ke badan anda! Pikiran negatif ini mempengaruhi pola dan kelakuan yang ada di bawah pikiran sadar anda, dan ini mempunyai dampak yang tak sehat di badan anda.

Cara mengatasinya adalah dengan mengubah pikiran-pikiran negatif itu dengan pikiran positif dan berusaha meyakinkan diri anda sendiri bahwa anda adalah apa yang anda pikirkan secara positif. Kalau perlu katakan
pada diri anda: Saya kuat, saya tidak apa-apa, saya bisa melalui semua ini.
Ulangilah afirmasi positif ini sepanjang hari sampai ini mempengaruhi tekanan yang menghimpit anda. Pasti akan ada pengaruh perubahan pada sikap
anda selanjutnya.

# Kurangi hal-hal yg dapat menjadi penyebab stres

Stres, gelisah, insomnia, dan pikiran yang berkelindan atau berjalan terlalu cepat dan sulit dikendalikan biasanya merupakan efek samping dari kebanyakan kafein. Stimulator sistem saraf pusat yang dipengaruhi kafein itu bertentangan dengan relaksasi tubuh dan ketenangan pikiran.

Cara mengatasinya: kurangi minum kopi. Biasakan minum teh aja ya.
Hindari mengurusi masalah orang lain yang sekiranya tidak penting .
Banyak orang yg stres hanya karena mengurusi urusan orang lain yg sebenarnya tidak perlu. Tidak perlu khwatir dicap sebagai orang yang cuek alias g perhatian. Jalani aja yang sekiranya sesuai dg kemampuan berpikir kamu .

# Tarik napas dalam-dalam

Jika anda betul-betul stres, maka napas anda cenderung dangkal, mungkin hanya sampai kerongkongan. Sayangnya, orang dewasa cenderung bernapas seperti ini. cara bernapas seperti ini dapat mempengaruhi tubuh dan memicu stres, dan juga mempengaruhi ketidaktenangan diri (gelisah).

Jika anda bisa belajar bernapas lebih dalam sepanjang hari – dengan bernapas dari diafragma – anda akan mengurangi rasa gelisah dan akan mendapatkan banyak keuntungan, seperti tekanan darah yang tidak akan meningkat, dan jantung yang stabil. Selain itu, diperkirakan 70% toksin di dalam tubuh kita dikeluarkan melalui pernapasan.

#Perbanyak waktu untuk beribadah dan hindari melakukan hal-hal yang g penting

#Cobalah sekali waktu untuk tidak menjadi orang yang terlalu penurut. Coba katakan tidak untuk hal-hal yang memang sekiranya tidak ingin kamu turuti ,kecuali jika perintah tersebut beitu penting.

VALENTINE NO ! Valentine’s Day History and Islamic Perspective

February 14th will come soon. The date that many people celebrate Valentine Day. Consider Valentine’s Day, a day that after dying out a well deserved death in most of Europe has suddenly started to emerge across a good swath of Muslim countries. Who was Valentine and why is this day observed is still being discussed by many people, especially by moslems.
Actually, Valentine’s Day began as a pagan ritual started by Romans in the 4th century BC to honor the God Lupercus. The main attraction of this ritual was a lottery held to distribute young women to young men for entertainment and pleasure until the next year’s lottery. Among other equally despicable practices associated with this day was the lashing of young women by two young men, clad only in a bit of goatskin and wielding goatskin thongs, who had been smeared with blood of sacrificial goats and dogs. A lash of the “sacred” thongs by these “holy men” was believed to make them better able to bear children.
As usual, Christianity tried, without success, to stop the evil celebration of Lupercalia. It first replaced the lottery of the names of women with a lottery of the names of the saints. The idea was that during the following year the young men would emulate the life of the saint whose name they had drawn. Christianity ended up doing in Rome, and elsewhere, as the Romans did. The only success it had was in changing the name from Lupercalia to St. Valentine’s Day. It was done in CE 496 by Pope Gelasius, in honor of some Saint Valentine. There are as many as 50 different Valentines in Christian legends. Two of them are more famous, although their lives and characters are also shrouded in mystery. According to one legend, and the one more in line with the true nature of this celebration, St. Valentine was a “lovers’” saint, who had himself fallen in love with his jailer’s daughter.
Due to serious troubles that accompanied such lottery, French government banned the practice in 1776. In Italy, Austria, Hungry, and Germany also the ritual vanished over the years. Earlier, it had been banned in England during the 17th century when the Puritans were strong.
However in 1660 Charles II revived it. From there it also reached the New World, where enterprising Yankees spotted a good means of making money. Esther A. Howland, who produced one of the first commercial American Valentine’s Day cards called what else valentines, in the 1840s, sold $5,000 worth–when $5,000 was a lot of money–the first year. The valentine industry has been booming ever since.
The history of Valentine’s Day serves as a powerful lesson for Muslims. St. Valentine became a Saint trying to resist free sex. Even though there was an attempt to Christianize it, today St. Valentine’s day is gone back to its roots. No one even knows that the Church even tried to ban the St. Valentine’s Day. Rather, most people think of romance, cupid and his arrow, which are vestiges of pagan Rome.
The first information about this day is found in pre-Christian Rome, when pagans would celebrate the “Feast of the Wolf” on February 15, also known as the Feast of Lupercalius in honour of Februata Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, Roman god of nature.
On this day, young women would place their names in an urn, from which boys would randomly draw to discover their sexual companion for the day, the year, and sometimes the rest of their lives. These partners exchanged gifts as a sign of affection, and often married. When Christianity came onto the scene in Rome, it wanted to replace this feast with something more in line with its ethics and morality. A number of Christians decided to use February 14 for this purpose. This was when the Italian Bishop Valentine was executed by the Roman Emperor Claudius II for conducting secret marriages of military men in the year 270.
Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, so he outlawed marriage for young, single men, who made up his military. Valentine defied Claudius and performed marriages for young couples in secret. When his actions were revealed, Claudius put him to death. Another version of the story says that Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who helped Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
Valentine was arrested and sent to the prefect of Rome for this. He found that his attempts to make Valentine renounce his faith were useless, and so recommended he be beaten with clubs, and later beheaded. This took place on February 14, 270.
According to the Catholic encyclopaedia, there are at least three different Saint Valentines, all of whom are Christian martyrs of February 14. One of them is described as a priest from Rome (as mentioned above), another as bishop of Interamna (modern Terni), and the third from Africa. It was in the year 496 that Pope Gelasius officially changed the February 15 Lupercalia festival to the February 14 St. Valentine’s Day to give Christian meaning to a pagan festival. The holiday become popular in the United States in the 1800’s during the Civil War. As well, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery for young women that would take place during the pagan festival. Instead of the names of young women, the box would have the names of saints. Men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the purpose of this was to copy the ways of the saint they had selected for the rest of the year.

Islamic Perspective

As a moslem we should avoid anything associated with pagan immoral practices . We do not need to honour or celebrate the death of a Christian “saint” – Islam does not encourage flirting or suggestions of romantic relationships before marriage – Love between families, friends and married people does not need to be celebrated on a day with such un-Islamic origins.

1. In Islam, the festivals are clearly defined and well established, and no additions or subtractions may be accepted.
They are an essential part of our worship and there is no room for ijtihaad or personal opinion. They have been prescribed for us by Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Festivals are part of the laws, clear way and religious ceremonies of which Allaah says: ‘To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way[al-Maa’idah 5:48]
‘For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies which they must follow’[al-Hajj 22:67]
Hence, the Christian clergy opposed it at some stage and abolished it, then it came back again. The Muslim’s attitude towards Valentine’s Day .
From the above discussion, the Muslim’s attitude towards this holiday should be clear:
(1) He should not celebrate it, or join others in their celebrations of it, or attend their celebrations, or help those who celebrate it because of the evidence quoted above which shows that it is forbidden to celebrate the festivals of the kuffaar. Al-Haafiz al-Dhahabi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “If the Christians have a festival and the Jews have a festival, which belongs only to them, then the Muslim should not join them in that, just as he does not join them in their religion or their direction of prayer.” (Tashabbuh al-Khasees bi Ahl al-Khamees, al-Hikmah magazine, 4/193).

(2) He should not help the kuffaar in their celebrations, because it is one of the rituals of kufr, so helping them and approving of what they do is helping them to manifest kufr and make it prevail, and approving of it. The Muslim’s religion does not allow him to approve of kufr or help others to manifest it and make it prevail. Hence Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “It is not permissible for the Muslims to imitate them in anything that is specifically part of their festivals, whether it is food, clothing, bathing, lighting fires, or changing a custom of daily life or worship… To sum up, they should not do any of the specific rituals of their (the kuffaar’s) festival on that day; rather the day of their festival should be just another ordinary day for the Muslim.” (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 25/329)

(3) He should not help any Muslims who celebrate it. Rather it is obligatory to denounce them, because for the Muslims to celebrate the festivals of the kuffaar is an evil action which must be denounced. Shaykh al-Islam (Ibn Taymiyah) said: “Just as we should not imitate them in their festivals, so too we should not help a Muslim to do that; rather he should be told not to do that.” (al- Iqtidaa’, 2/519-520)

(4) Based on what Ibn Taymiyah said, it is not permissible for Muslim businessmen to deal in gifts for Valentine’s Day, whether they are particular kinds of clothes, red roses, or whatever. Similarly, it is not permissible for the one who is given a gift on this occasion to accept it, because by accepting it, he is showing approval of this holiday. Undoubtedly going along with them in their festivals may in some cases lead to kufr. Dabbling in these things, at the very least, is a sin. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) referred to the fact that every nation has its own festivals when he said: ‘Every nation has its own Eid and this is our Eid’ (al- Bukhaari , 952, Muslim, 1892).” (al-Iqtidaa’, 1/471-472) Because Valentine’s Day goes back to Roman times, not Islamic times, this means that it is something which belongs exclusively to the Christians, not to Islam, and the Muslims have no share and no part in it .

2. Celebrating Valentine’s Day means resembling or imitating the pagan Romans, then the Christian People of the Book in their imitation of the Romans in something that was not a part of their religion.
If it is not allowed to imitate the Christians in things that really are part of their religion – but not part of our religion – then how about things which they have innovated in their religion in imitation of idolworshippers?! Imitating the kuffaar in general –whether they are idol-worshippers or People of the Book – is haraam, whether that imitation is of their worship – which is the most serious form – or of their customs and behaviour. This is indicated by the Qur’aan, Sunnah and ijmaa’ (scholarly consensus):

(i) From the Qur’aan: Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment”[Aal ‘Imraan 3:105]
(ii) From the Sunnah: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (narrated by Ahmad, 2/50; Abu Dawood, 4021) Shaykh al-Islam (Ibn Taymiyah) said: “This hadeeth at the very least indicates that it is haraam to imitate them, although the apparent meaning implies that the one who imitates them is a kaafir, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): ‘And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’ [friends and helpers]), then surely, he is one of them’ [al-Maa’idah
5:51].” (al-Iqtidaa’, 2/722-725)

(iii) With regard to ijmaa’, Ibn Taymiyan narrated that there was agreement that it is haraam to imitate the kuffaar in their festivals at the time of the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them), and Ibn al-Qayyim narrated that there was scholarly consensus on this point. (See al-Iqtidaa’, 1/454; Ahkaam Ahl al- Dhimmah, 2/722-725)
Prohibition of imitating the kuffaar is one of the basic principles of sharee’ah. Allaah sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion so that it might prevail over all other religions, and Allaah has perfected His religion for mankind: “This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”(al-Maa’idah 5:3)

3. The purpose of Valentine’s Day in these times is to spread love between all people, believers and disbelievers alike.
Undoubtedly it is haraam to love the kaafirs. Allaah says :
“You (O Muhammad) will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people)…”[al-Mujaadilah 58:22]

4. The love referred to in this festival ever since the Christians revived it is romantic love outside the framework of marriage.
The result of that is the spread of zinaa (fornication and adultery) and immorality. Hence the Christian clergy opposed it at some stage and abolished it, then it came back again.
