PUTUS ASA Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

02 Januari 2008 – 16:46   (Diposting oleh: Editor)

Di sebuah situs internet diungkapkan kisah fiksi tentang seorang tentara bernama kopral Yono. Saat itu sekitar jam tujuh malam, ia duduk melamun. Pandangannya kosong, sembari tangannya mengaduk es teh. Salah seorang temannya, sebut saja Ricky, tiba-tiba menyambar minuman yang sedang ia aduk. Tanpa basa-basi, Ricky langsung menenggak isi gelas itu sampai tak tersisa sedikit pun.

Sebenarnya Ricky hanya bermaksud bercanda. Bukannya marah atau tersenyum, tetapi Yono justru menangis meraung-raung sambil beruraian air mata. Kontan reaksi Yono membuat Ricky panik. “Kamu nih cengeng banget sih? Katanya kamu tentara? Masa sih gara-gara es teh, kamu nangis keras begitu,” komentar Ricky di antara perasaan kesal dan bingung.

“Kenapa seharian ini hidupku kok apes terus?” rintih kopral Yono sambil terus menangis.

“Kamu kenapa? Ceritakan saja, siapa tahu aku bisa menolongmu,” kata Ricky penuh empati pada karibnya itu.

“Tadi pagi aku dipecat, gara-gara teledor

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. Indeed...

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...
