Love Letter to Uncle



Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah

Good night uncle. How’s the preparation, everything going good? Hope so. It was suuuuperb to hear you for the first time in january (i remember when you guys told me the secret) to ask mbah kung and mbah putri for an Umra, it’s suuuper cool. I wish someday can go there with mom-dad, and future wife too.
Uncle, i really really ask you to do me a favor. Can you please carry my pray to Allah in front of Ka’bah when you get there? My one and only one ultimate pray, right now: to propose then marry her as soon as possible. I am pretty sure of this plan, i really want it. To complete my half (religion), al-Islam. To walk away from sins that are soooooo easy to do it. To keep my sight, and the most important thing is to get HIS ridla. I have a plan, and it’s not a blind ambition, trust me. I am a good-healthy young man and really want to achieve my vision and mission as soon as possible. I call it: “Project Good Life” really want to do it a.s.a.p., because of Allah, LILLAH...
You know that i already had a job, insyaAllah it’s a good career for a living. It’s all Alhamdulillah going good, i keep half of my income for a future saving.
Last week i take Dita home to meet my parents. Mom said that she’s really good, she loves her, mom fully gave her permission for me to be with her. I pick Dita up in her uncle’s house at Bojonegoro, after attending seminar at Aston hotel. Her uncle was a doctor, in Aisyah hospital, Bojonegoro, named dr. Irianto. His wife, aunt Ina was a teacher at smp Kalitidu. I am real sure that Dita is from a good big family (Dita’s father is a retired marine Purnawirawan). The problem is here and you know that really well: my father still stuck with his own tiny mind. Don’t know what he really want. Bude-bude from bapak’s family was already calm their mind and think that it’s okay, it’s good. Pakde Tri, bude Tik, mbah kung and mbah Putri i see they’re thinking good too. But bapak, he is still just like that. Hope Allah would softening his heart.
Uncle i want to tell you this: i really want to propose then marry Dita immidiately as soon as super possible. Her islam, her brain, beauty on her face, i really love it. She’s really kind of girl i dreamed of and ask to Allah. She always push me to be more aware about the importance of study islam and i think its good for me, thanks to her i now getting on my better shape.
The plan is to marry (InsyaAllah Dita) as soon as possible. Because of her contracts, we will only meet on weekend at surabaya and or Sidoarjo. We will rent a small house there. When she is in long holiday (she’s a teacher), it will be her come home to Bojonegoro. Even we can’t live in the same home right after the marriege, i think it’s a good plan because on my istikharah come this idea. It’s good chance for me to go back Surabaya on weekend. There’s a reason to stay, you know what? I want to continue my study. I already search and gather all the information i need about university which is serve pascasarjana study on weekend. There are Unair (it’d be lovely to study there), Untag, perbanas and any other campuss. Imagines that i could do that in the same time makes me shiver and anthusias. I am onto it uncle, this plan was gold and i need to take this shot! Of course it’s all depend on Allah, man propose Allah dispose. But i ask HIM the almighty god to give me power for struggling, it’s worth fighting for. Bismillah..
Now i really on my hardest battle to convince my father that this is (the plan) is god for me. Dad always want me to be a “normal” man, work, live, take all easy, never out of comfort zone, live a natural life, what then, a die? Where’s the fun in that, huh? No i don’t, and i won’t! Mom already gave her permission, and she really loves Dita. Uga too, she loves her. Bude-pakde from dad’s family give their suport for me. Bude tik and pakde Tri, mba dian, mas Wahyuuuu (really want me to immediately propose her), mbah putri and mbah kung too, and now i ask you to pleaseeeeeee carry my pray to Allah there...

“I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely gain in strenght, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more...”

The time is good. It’s all set for her good family in halal bi halal silaturrahim Idul Fitri, bacause it’s her family’s turn to held the gathering. I wish i can go there too at the same time, with my big good family to propose her to her parents.
Wuoooo such a long text i wrote, sorry to interrupt your time for reading this. I have to make this “Project Good Life” work as soon as possible. I already calculate all the risk, know all the consequences, it’s time for a realllllllllll fight. Struggle struggleeeeee, i was made for this. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Allahuakbarrrrrrrrrrrr...

Thank you for reading this, i actually don’t know who to tell the story. Thankyou so damn much om, warmest salam to bulik, mbah putri dan mbah kung. Hope the journey going good, and get suuuuper close to Allah. And go back home safely, family are waiting. Bismillahrrahmanirrahim, Allahuakbarrrrrrrrrrr...

Mayoritas Penghuni Neraka



16. Iblis menjawab: “karena Engkau telah menyesatkan aku, pasti aku akan selalu menghalangi mereka dari jalan-mu yang lurus!”
17. kemudian pasti aku (iblis) akan mendatangi mereka (manusia) dari depan, dari belakang, dari kanan dan dari kiri mereka. Dan engkau tidak akan mendapati kebanyakan mereka bersyukur...
18. (Allah) berfirman: “keluarlah kamu dari sana (surga) dalam keadaan terhina dan terusir! Sesungguhnya ada diantara mereka yang mengikutimu, pasti akan Aku (Allah) isi neraka jahanam dengan kamu semua.”
(QS. Al-A’Raf [7] : 16-18)

Ini adalah catatan dari seorang pemuda yang baru saja belajar menekuni agamanya lebih dalam. Tentunya ini hanyalah sebuah analisa mentah dan perlu ditanyakan lagi kepada para ustad atau kiai. Dua kalimat yang ditebalkan diatas menurutku mengandung korelasi yang kuat. Di ayat 17 Iblis berkata bahwa iblis akan selalu ‘mendatangi’, kata ini dapat diartikan iblis selalu mengajak kepada kesesatan, keburukan, kepada apapun yang melanggar kepatuhan terhadap Allah, dan iblis memberi ultimatum atau membocorkan ciri-ciri bahwa kebanyakan dari mereka (manusia) yang akan tergoda pada bujuk rayu iblis adalah orang-orang yang tidak bersyukur. Kemudian Allah menimpali dan dipertegas dengan kalimat terakhir ayat 18, isi neraka jahanam adalah semua orang-orang yang mengikuti iblis.
Katakanlah muncul dua premis:
-          Iblis selalu mengajak manusia pada keburukan dan kesesatan dan golongan yang paling banyak masuk dalam bujuk rayunya adalah mereka yang tak bersyukur
-          Allah akan memasukkan mereka semua ke dalam neraka jahanam
Silogismenya menjadi :
Kebanyakan orang yang masuk neraka adalah mereka yang tidak bersyukur, naudzubillahi min dzalik...

Mari menjadi pribadi yang senantiasa bersyukur, walau berat dirasa, selalu ucapkan; “Ya Allah, kami hamba-hambaMu yang lemah, terimalah puji syukur kami atas segala rahmat dan nikmat yang telah Engkau titipkan.”

Terimakasih, semoga bermanfaat
