Bersyukur dan Bahagia Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

Alkisah, ada seorang pedagang kaya yang merasa dirinya tidak bahagia. Dari pagi-pagi buta, dia telah bangun dan mulai bekerja. Siang hari bertemu dengan orang-orang untuk membeli atau menjual barang. Hingga malam hari, dia masih sibuk dengan buku catatan dan mesin hitungnya. Menjelang tidur, dia masih memikirkan rencana kerja untuk keesokan harinya. Begitu hari-hari berlalu.

Suatu pagi sehabis mandi, saat berkaca, tiba-tiba dia kaget saat menyadari rambutnya mulai menipis dan berwarna abu-abu. “Akh. Aku sudah menua. Setiap hari aku bekerja, telah menghasilkan kekayaan begitu besar! Tetapi kenapa aku tidak bahagia? Ke mana saja aku selama ini?”

Setelah menimbang, si pedagang memutuskan untuk pergi meninggalkan semua kesibukannya dan melihat kehidupan di luar sana. Dia berpakaian layaknya rakyat biasa dan membaur ke tempat keramaian.

“Duh, hidup begitu susah, begitu tidak adil! Kita telah bekerja dari pagi hingga sore, tetapi tetap saja miskin dan kurang,” terdengar sebagian penduduk berkeluh kesah.

Di tempat lain, dia mendengar seorang saudagar kaya; walaupun harta berkecukupan, tetapi tampak sedang sibuk berkata-kata kotor dan memaki dengan garang. Tampaknya dia juga tidak bahagia.

Si pedagang meneruskan perjalanannya hingga tiba di tepi sebuah hutan. Saat

Superiority Comes from Character, Not Blood

by Harun Yahya Darwin's portraying human beings as a developed species of animal and his presentation of some races as not yet having completed their development, and as species closer to animals was intensely dangerous and destructive in human history. Those who took this claim of Darwin's as their guide mercilessly oppressed other races, forced them to live under the harshest conditions, and even exterminated them. Bryan Appleyard, author of the book Brave New Worlds, explains the tyrannical mentality underlying racism, and the results of it, in this way: The point is that once people decide you are a lesser creature for whatever reason, either superstitious or scientific, there appears to be no limit to what cruelty they may inflict on you. And they are likely to inflict that cruelty feeling fully justified, because it is but a small step from believing another human being is inferior to believing that he is bad, dangerous, or threatening to 'superior' beings.

The Prophet of Islam - His Biography

by Muhammad Hamidullah IN the annals of men, individuals have not been lacking who conspicuously devoted their lives to the socio-religious reform of their connected peoples. We find them in every epoch and in all lands. In India, there lived those who transmitted to the world the Vedas, and there was also the great Gautama Buddha; China had its Confucius; the Avesta was produced in Iran. Babylonia gave to the world one of the greatest reformers, the Prophet Abraham (not to speak of such of his ancestors as Enoch and Noah about whom we have very scanty information). The Jewish people may rightly be proud of a long series of reformers: Moses, Samuel, David, Solomon, and Jesus among others. 2. Two points are to note: Firstly these reformers claimed in general to be the bearers each of a Divine mission, and they left behind them sacred books incorporating codes of life for the guidance of their peoples. Secondly there followed fratricidal wars, and massacres and genocides became the order...

Idolatry in Our Age 2

by Harun Yahya The basis of idolatry is the preference for a person, or a thing over God, for instance, to prefer somebody's approval to God's, to fear somebody as one fears God or to love him as one loves God…Or to do for an idol what he doesn't do for God, or to make a sacrifice which he does not do for God's approval. Given the foregoing arguments, it would be a shallow interpretation indeed to define idolatry as the worship of statues. This is surely an argument used by unbelievers to justify their stance. According to their explanation, idolatry ceased when the idols in the Ka'ba were broken at the time the message of Islam was communicated. If this argument were true, then the hundreds of verses warning believers against idolatry, and providing a detailed explanation about it, would have relevance only to a few primitive tribes in our day-a piece of a reasoning quite contradictory to the essence of the Qur'an. Furthermore from the Qur'an which will p...
