Dirindu Dinginnya Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

Bau pagi yang khas menelusup masuk lewat jendela kayu kamar ku. Bau embun mulai datang. Uh! Jatuh tepat di atas kelopak mata ku. Siapa lagi kalau bukan ayah yang melakukannya. “Bangun anak manja, sekolah tak menunggu kedatangan mu untuk memulai kegiatannya”, ucapnya dingin. Sedingin air dalam bak mandi yang tak pernah hangat. Begitulah drama pagi yang selalu terjadi setiap hari di rumah kami.

Setelah melahirkan aku, ibu sering sakit-sakitan. Akhirnya, ketika umur ku baru menginjak sepuluh bulan, ibu meninggalkan kami berdua untuk selamanya. Ayah yang pribadinya kaku dan dingin harus berusaha merangkap menjadi sosok ibu. Meskipun susah bersikap lembut tapi setidaknya ia berusaha menjadi orangtua yang baik bagi ku, mencukupi segala kebutuhan ku dan melindungi putri semata wayangnya ini dari bahaya kehidupan di luar rumah kami. Rumah kami yang dingin.

Ayah memberi ku nama ‘Anisa Wahid’. Guru ku di sekolah menengah pertama pernah membahas arti nama-nama semua murid di kelasnya. Tidak banyak, kelas ku isinya hanya 10 orang. Maklum desa ku terpencil, kesadaran pentingnya pendidikan pun kurang. Aku gembira sekali saat mengeta

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...

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. That is the pattern upon which the Companions were brought up. Jundub Ibn Abdullah al-Bajaly said, "We learned iman (faith) and then we learned the Quran and it increased our iman." Abdullah ibn Umar said, "We lived during an instant of time in which one of us would receive faith first before receiving the Quran and when the surahs were r...

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...
