Setengah Jam Saja Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

Seperti biasa Michael, kepala cabang di sebuah perusahaan swasta terkemuka di Jakarta, tiba di rumahnya pada pukul 9 malam. Tidak seperti biasanya, Elvin, putra pertamanya yang baru duduk di kelas dua SD yang membukakan pintu. Ia nampaknya sudah menunggu cukup lama.

“Kok, belum tidur?” sapa Michael sambil mencium anaknya.

Biasanya, Elvin memang sudah lelap ketika ia pulang dan baru terjaga ketika ia akan berangkat ke kantor pagi hari.

Sambil membuntuti sang Papa menuju ruang keluarga, Elvin menjawab, “Aku nunggu Papa pulang. Sebab aku mau tanya berapa sih gaji Papa?”

“Lho, tumben, kok nanya gaji Papa? Mau minta uang lagi, ya?”

“Ah, enggak. Pengen tahu aja.”

“Oke. Kamu boleh hitung sendiri. Setiap hari Papa bekerja sekitar 10 jam dan dibayar Rp 400.000,-. Dan setiap bulan rata-rata dihitung 25 hari kerja, Jadi, gaji Papa dalam satu bulan berapa, hayo?”

Elvin berlari mengambil kertas dan pensilnya dari meja belajar, sementara Papanya melepas sepatu dan menyalakan televisi. Ketika Michael beranjak menuju kamar untuk berganti pakaian, Elvin berlari mengikutinya.

“Kalau satu hari Papa dibayar Rp 400.000,- untuk 10 jam, berarti satu jam Papa digaji Rp 40.000,- dong,

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.

Aqeedah: its Meaning and Importance

by Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Qari, Introduction One narration states, "You are going to a people from the People of the Book. Let the first thing that you call them to be the worship of Allah. If they acknowledge Allah, then inform them that Allah has obligated upon them five prayers during their days and nights." [Al-Bukhari, Muslim] This hadith is clear.

He stayed in Makkah for thirteen years to teach the people iman and to educate his Companions on this point and to correct the beliefs of the people.

Moral Degeneration

by Harun Yahya What we refer to as "moral values" are the concepts introduced by religion that make life beautiful and rewarding. Whenever these values are distorted, we face a really disturbing picture in society. First of all, in an environment where no rules and limits are observed, "lawlessness" prevails. In this system, everyone lays down his own rules and principles, based on highly variable criteria. In the ignorant society the basic principle that is applied is not to go to extremes in social conduct and hence not to incur any reaction from the society. It is wholly acceptable to do anything wrong, as long as it is not publicly disclosed. Ignorant people deliver speeches about virtuous conduct and morals, or severely condemn those who hold a contrary view. However, they themselves violate these values when they are convinced that nobody sees them. This is actually the main basis upon which their philosophy rests. They never think that God surrounds them all ...
