Menjadi Yang Kuinginkan Cerita Motivasi dan Inspirasi Nomor 1

“Siapa aku?” aku berucap tanpa mengeluarkan suara. Hanya gerak di bibir.

Yang kutahu aku adalah seorang perempuan. Kuliah di universitas dan jurusan yang kuinginkan. Memiliki nilai di tiap semester seperti yang kuinginkan; ya, selalu IPK di atas 3,00 karena aku ingin pintar, lulus dengan nilai yang memuaskan, lantas berkarier menjadi apa yang kuinginkan. Aku memiliki banyak teman, baik perempuan dan lelaki di kampus, di rumah, di sekolahku dulu, dan di beberapa komunitas di mana aku aktif di dalamnya. Dan aku menyukai berdandan. Aku merawat rambutku yang bergelombang panjang, merawat kulitku dengan beragam perlengkapan, memulas wajahku yang tampak ceria dengan warna, dan memakai baju yang aku padankan dengan segala gaya yang aku suka. Menabur parfum vanila yang kugunakan sejak aku kelas 1 SMA.

Tetapi itu dulu. Kini yang kusadari di dalam kursi belakang taksi yang hanya ada aku dan seorang supir taksi yang diam itu, aku tidak lagi mengenal siapa diriku. Tidak ada bau yang mengingatkanku akan keberadaan diriku sendiri.

Lelaki itu kuakui sungguh tampan. Umurnya beberapa tahun lebih tua dariku. Seorang teman mengenalkannya padaku. Pandangan pertama, aku tertegun melihat sosok tegapnya dengan wajah rupawan. Aku mendekatinya. Ia tertarik padaku. Hingga beberapa kali berkencan, kami menjadi sepasang kekasih.

Sekarang sudah hampir satu tahun kami berpa

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...
