Mendongeng di Kelas Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

Bila Anda diminta membaca, maka buku yang mana yang akan Anda pilih: ’Harry Potter’ nya JK Rowling atau ’Anna Karenina’ nya Leo Tolstoy? Saya pikir, kebanyakan orang akan memilih membaca Harry Potter yang memakai bahasa gaul yang mudah dimengerti dengan alur cerita menarik ketimbang Anna Karenina yang bahasanya ’njlimet’, cerita klasik, dan kalimatnya panjang-panjang. Menurut Bapak Her Suharyanto, salah satu pembicara di workshop “Cara Cerdas Menulis Buku Best-Seller batch XI’ pada bulan Agustus 2009 di Jakarta, sekarang ini tren bahasa untuk penulisan buku popular sudah berubah, yaitu dari bahasa baku yang pakem menjadi menggunakan gaya bahasa narative atau gaya bahasa ’mendongeng’ yang lebih fleksibel dan gaul.

Untuk tren menulis buku, gaya bahasa narative memang merupakan tren baru, penulis seperti sedang mendongeng saja layaknya. Akan tetapi bagi warisan budaya, gaya mendongeng bukanlah merupakan hal yang baru. Sejak jaman dahulu kala, para pemimpin agama, para orang tua, penasehat kerajaan, bahkan orang tua menggunakan medium mendongeng dalam menyampaikan norma dan nilai, terutama ketika belum diketemukan cara untuk menyalin ajaran norma da

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. It does not require much of an explanation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) applied this principle in his practical calling to Islam. 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 ...
