Change to Be Better

My brother, I want to write here that we can change ourselves. It is not something impossible. I ever wrote in my writing that the characteristic our life is growing. The animal’s body changing from small into big show that it grows. There is changing from small to be big. It is the characteristic of life.

Our life must grow. If we don’t grow, so our life has problem. We die if there is no growing in ourselves. Something that must grow is not only our body, our hair, our nail or our age. No! But also our knowledege, our capabilty, our skill, our creation, and our action that can create benefit.

So, my brother, once again I say that changing to be better is not imposible thing. We can prove it. Let’s prove it. We prove to ourselves and to others. But of course, it is by Allah help, by Allah permission.

Now, let say together, “I can change to be better in many aspects. In knowledge, ability, skill, creation, etc. Yeah, I can by Allah help”.

My brother, life is life. Life is what we feel  and we do. Life is learning. We learn anything in our life. In our life we will find anything that we will not predict it before. We will surprise when we know it. It is life. Life is full by surprising.

My brother, we should not be afraid in facing this life. Like a statement that I ever got, “We should not be afraid in facing life. If  we are afraid, don’t we live”. Hm...

Yeah, it is the life. Many colours. Many problems. Many views. Many and many. It backs to ourselves. We enjoy it or not.

My brother, I want to write here that we as moslem should have strong mentality. We are Allah choosen. We are created to be winner. We are hoped to be people who can spread rahmah to all of creatures. If we don’t have strong mentality, we will fall down easily. We need power, we need srenght. Not only power and strenght physically, but also in mentality.

We should have strong belief and faith. We should be very sore that there is Allah behind us who is always ready to help us if we ask Him. We are not alone. He will help us by several helps. It can be by other people help, animal, or anything that we never think before. Allah also can  help us directly. So, there are two kinds of Allah help. Directly and indirectly.

Hm...may we can be best people who have string mentality and confident. Ameen.

My brother, just now I told one of “my motivator” and “my inspirer” that I have ideal to follow him. He can be a speaker in front of society, telling about anything in Islam, by several topics. Beside that he also can be a speaker in front of teachers, telling about special theme using classing book. Whereas, he is different with “the others”. He is not graduated same university with “them”. But he ca. Then I asked him the methode.

He told me that for telling about special theme using classic book, he focus to sirah nabawiyah, story about prophet Muhammad pbuh. So I get conlusion that I should focus to special subject; like tafsir, tazkiyatun nufus, hadits, aqidah, etc.

Then, for be a speaker in the society, he said that he was requested to be speaker by “Pos Da’i”. So he suggested me that if I want to practice, I can offer to “Pos Da’i” to be a speaker. But I said to him that I am still not ready because I still doesn’t ge marriage. I am afraid if I am not strong to attemption of girls. J. Hm.....

Ok my brother, I think it is enough. I hope I can write again later. May I can reach what I want. And I don’t forget to pray, may all of us can reach our dreams, what we want. Ameen.

My brother, I want to write again. It is about doing amanah. We as muslim should do amanah well. Rasulullah pbuh ever said in hadits, “no faith for people who don’t do amanah well”. It mean that correlation between faith (iman) and amanah is very strong.

So, for muslim there is no word “job”. But in their special dictionary, word of “job” is changed to be amanah. If for unbeliever say that their job is docter, so for muslim they will say that their amanah is docter. It is the essence of their job. Yeah, the essence of their job is amanah.

If we have view like that, we will think that all of our jobs and duties are our amanah. So this way we must do it well. Because Rasulullah pbuh said that no faith for people who don’t do amanah well.

May we can be moslem who do amanah well and maximally. Ameen.

My brother, just now I joined training of Grand MBA (Gerakan Dakwah Mengajar dan Belajar Al-Quran, Dakwah Movement of Teaching and Studying Al-Quran). Many things that I get from this training. I want to share it here, but may be only little because I get difficulty if I share it all.

My brother, one of thing that I get, da’i (propagator) is like docter and mad’u (person who is propagated) is like patient. So, da’i should do like docter do. When docter want to cure patient, he must check the patient about the desease. After knowing the kind of desease docter can give suitable medicine to the patient. When da’i want to do dakwah to mad’u, he must observe about background of mad’u and his problem so he can give suitable advice.

Dakwah is like medicine.  So, duty of da’i is look for methode for making medicine can be consumed by patient eventhough it is bitter. Why? Because mad’u as patient is sick. He get suffering. Da’i can give them medicine for making them recovery. The medicine is named by dakwah. By dakwah, their soul can be health again.

Hm..may be this is what I can share. May it give us advantages. J

My brother, just now I thought that we often forget to the real life, hereafter. We are too busy in world life until we forget about hereafter.

Actually, world life is field for hereafter. What we plant in the world we can harvest it in hereafter. So what we do in the world is preparation for living in hereafter.

By this perception we will not get problem with looking much money in the world if we intend it for hereafter. We work hard until tired will create reward from Allah if we intend it for Him, for heaven.

But, if we intend it only  for job, only for boss, only for family, and only for ourselves, of course it is big wrong. So we should be careful about this.

Hm..may Allah guide us in order we can always remember about hereafter and have strenght for doing amal shaleh. Ameen.
