Cangkir Tindih Merah Putih Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

Subuh buta belum tersentuh matahari dinginpun masih menusuk. Tapi, anak-anak di desaku termasuk aku. Akan segera berangkat ke sekolah yang jauh seberang desa ini dan kami harus melewati sungai yang memisahkannya. Namun, tak ada benda melayang diatasnya yang memisahkan sungai. Jadi, setiap akan berangkat kami harus membawa sebuah kayu panjang yang ujungnya pipih dan agak lebar, sendiri karena harus menggunakan perahu kecil yang terbuat dari pohon rotan dan hanya dapat memuat 1 atau 2 orang saja. Bisa juga memuat 3-4 orang jika perahunya agak besar.

Biasanya teman-temanku menjemputku. “Tapi, kenapa hari ini mereka tak menjemput?” aku bergumam dalam hati. “Ya sudahlah, mungkin mereka lupa karena terburu-buru” pikirku tidak memasalahkannya. Aku lari terbirit-birit menyusul teman-temanku, hampir aku melupakan sesuatu yang penting untuk mengarungi sungai dengan perahu ”dayung…ya…dayung” aku merasa ada yang kurang.

Saat di sungai, teman-temanku sudah sampai di tengah sungai sedang aku masih ditepi. “Hei….tunggu aku” ku panggil mereka, tapi tak ada yang dengar. segera ku dayung perahuku menyusul mereka, ku dayung begitu cepatnya, hingga akhirnya”…byuuuuuuuuur…..tolong…tolong…” terceburlah sudah aku ke sungai. Tapi, teman-temanku tak ada yang menyadari teriakanku. Ya, aku memang tak bisa berenang seperti teman-temanku

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...
