As I am sure many of you have heard already, the movie FITNA by Dutch MP Geert Wilders was released this evening on LiveLeak. I have had very little luck watching it directly on LiveLeak and a bit more luck watching it on Little Green Footballs (with a high speed, broadband line, albeit not as fast as many of you have in the US, for example). So I am going to embed it here in the hope that it will make it easier for some of you to watch it. Here’s a brief description of the movie from Al-AP: Continue reading FITNA, the movie…

Do what you love, love what you do and deliver more than you promise. Kata-kata ini ditulis oleh Harvey Mackay dan begitu berpengaruh pada diri saya. Kerapkali, banyak orang yang melakukan suatu pekerjaan hanya karena pekerjaan itu telah menjadi sebagai suatu rutinitas tanpa ada greget-nya. Mungkin anda akan menyelesaikan suatu pekerjaan, tetapi mungkin anda hanya sekedar menyelesaikannya.
Dua hari sebelum saya menulis tulisan ini, saya bertemu kembali dengan seorang teman lama. Ia bercerita tentang frustrasi hidup yang dia alami selama tahun 2006. Ia harus berjuang dalam kariernya bahkan sempat bentrok dengan kepala bagiannya selain ia harus membiayai kuliahnya sendiri. Pada puncak frustrasi itu, ia bahkan mempertanyakan Allah. Ia mengatakan bahwa Tuhan sungguh tidak ada. Saya menghadapi sekian banyak konflik tetapi kenapa Tuhan tidak membantu saya. Pada saat itu, ia seakan alergi dengan kata Tuhan dan segala hal yang berhubungan dengan itu. Tetapi oleh karena satu moment yang membuatnya berubah akhirnya ia kembali menikmati hidupnya dan berdoa mohon ampun atas kelancangannya pada Tuhan. Continue reading Embracing Deeds…

Beberapa saat yang lalu, dalam perjalanan pulang dari Sukabumi menuju Bandung saya bertemu dengan seorang teman bernama Nina di atas bus. Nina adalah seorang receptionis di hotel Saung Galing di Bandung. Dalam beberapa bagian pembicaraan, Nina membicarakan keinginannya untuk melanjutkan kuliah lagi supaya kariernya semakin bagus. Tetapi ia masih kebingungan harus memasuki jurusan apa, supaya sejalan dan mendukung masa depannya. Tetapi yang lebih mengejutkan buat saya adalah, ia baru saja dalam perjalanan pulang dari Pelabuhan Ratu. Ia pergi seorang diri karena selama ini ia hanya mendengar nama tempat itu. Walaupun ia orang bandung asli dan Pelabuhan Ratu tidak terlalu jauh dari tempatnya. Continue reading Drive By Need…

Suatu cara alternatif menuju kebahagiaan atas hidup tersembur dalam sebuah buku kecil berjudul The Secret karya Rhonda Byrne [Penerbit PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama, Juli 2007] dan beberapa buku lain yang seakan mendukung pemaparan dengan cara yang cerdas seperti dalam buku The Attractor Factor karya Joe Vitale [Penerbit PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama, Januari 2007],
Mestakung karya Prof. Yohanes Surya Ph.D [Penerbit Hikmah Zaman Baru, Februari 2007], dan buku terbaru Quantum Ikhlas. Buku The Secret ini telah melahirkan sebuah kesenduan baru di antara beberapa pemikir yang berbeda daratan pola pikir. Mereka adalah beberapa orang rohaniwan yang menyitir satu hal yang cukup mengayunkan dasar pemahaman mereka akan kuasa Allah. Continue reading ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU…

My brothers and sisters in Iman-Islam, let us speak further on the meaning of holy war, or Jihad. If we understand the Qur’an properly, and if we understand the traditions of the Prophet (Sal.), then Islam will be the water of grace for the entire world. It will cleanse everyone of their dirt and quench their thirst. It will make all hearts peaceful and be the very pulse of life the heartbeat for all the children of Adam (A.S.) for all of creation.
A direct revelation to Muhammad, the Messenger of God Continue reading Islam – “The Meaning of Holy War”…

“How can I love better?”
Love is enough unto itself. It needs no betterment. It is perfect as it is; it is not in any way meant to be more perfect. The very desire shows a misunderstanding about love and its nature. Can you have a perfect circle? All circles are perfect; if they are not perfect, they are not circles. Perfection is intrinsic to a circle and the same is the law about love. You cannot love less, and you cannot love more — because it is not a quantity. It is a quality, which is immeasurable.
Your very question shows that you have never tasted what love is, and you are trying to hide your lovelessness in the desire of knowing “how to love better.” No one who knows love can ask this question.
Love has to be understood, not as a biological infatuation — that is lust. Continue reading How Can I Love Better…

STOP ALL CRITICISM. Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.
DON’T SCARE YOURSELF. Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It’s a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure (mine is yellow roses), and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought. Continue reading How to Love Yourself…

To do something well you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We’ve got it down to four words: “Do what you love.” But it’s not enough just to tell people that. Doing what you love is complicated.
The very idea is foreign to what most of us learn as kids. When I was a kid, it seemed as if work and fun were opposites by definition. Life had two states: some of the time adults were making you do things, and that was called work; the rest of the time you could do what you wanted, and that was called playing. Occasionally the things adults made you do were fun, just as, occasionally, playing wasn’t—for example, if you fell and hurt yourself. But except for these few anomalous cases, work was pretty much defined as not-fun. Continue reading How To Do What You Love…
