My brother, I decide writing again here after so long time I did not write. 

I hope, by writing here I can get new motivation to reach what I want to reach. 

My brother, way to reach out dream is planning/dream and action. So we must do action. We must move. We are not quite. And we must do it consistantly. So we need patience in order we can do consistantly.

I hope I can do what must I do. Bismillah.

Alhamdulillah, finally I write here after “sleeping” for long time. Really, writing is very important, but I don’t do it. It is big problem in myself. I hope that I can write consistenly. Ameen.

My brother, just now I get new inspiration and I want to write it here. I am afraid this inspiration will be lost if I don’t write it.

My brother, great teacher is different with favorite teacher. Favorite teacher is teacher who is loved by his students. And great teacher, for me, is teacher who can make his students understand what he teach. So this way, great teacher must understand what he teach.

We can make analogy like this. If we want to put water to a glass from a bottle, so we must fill the bottle by water. Because if the bottle is empity, how can the bottle can put water to the glass.

If a teacher want to spread knowledges to his students so he must own the knowledge. How can he will transfer the knowledege to his students if he doesn’t own knowledge.

MasyaAllah. May we can great teacher. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah my brother, today I get the miracle of al-Quran. Only by reciting it, my soul get calm again. My thinking is fresh again. Whereas, I only recite it. I don’t explore the content.

By this experience, it add my belief that al-Quran is medicine to the heart and soul. Al-Quran is main solution to this life. It is our guidance that can guide is to the righ way. By following it’s teaching, we will not be mislead.

May we can make al-Quran be our guidance in daily activity. Ameen.

Tonight I am in library of STAIL. I am sitting down on the floor. There are some students of STAIL around me. What are we doing here?

We gather here for studying english. All of us are members of STAIL English club. So, every thursday night we go here for studying english. We memorize vocabularies, make writings , disucussion, etc. We do it all by english.

We will not *promise* to be consistent. But we will try, we will make an effort to be consistent.

Actually, some members of STAIL english club plan to attend this program tonight. But they *cancel* the planning because they must join KKN's meeting. Yeah, six semester's students will face KKN program at about 3 months later. So, they should get meeting frequently.

But alhamdulillah, eventhough six semester's students can not join english club program, the members from forth students can join the program. Alhamdulillah.

I hope, that this program can run consistently. I hope, we can *defeate* our laziness that can destruct, and then we can be active in this club.

The last, I also hope to all of members, specially for me, on order can join this club sincerity. We do it because of Allah.

We should not hope  attention and praise from human being. We also should not *admire* to ourselves. We must make it far away from ourselves.

May we can do it. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I can write again here. I hope that I can write every day. Ameen.

Mt brother, we as human being has a lot of willing and hope. But we forget that we have weakness. We want to dominate the world, but we forget that we are small. We want to reach anything that we want, but we forget that it is possible.

We forget to the strongest, our God. We forget Him. We want to be like Him. No, we can't. We are very weak and He is very very strong.

We only have wiling and hope, but He must be able to get what He want.

MasyaAllah. How small and weak we are.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I can write again now. Now I join meeting in office of STAIL (Islamic College of Luqman al-Hakim) Surabaya. We discuss about steps to upgrade this university. We want to move from low class to be middle class.

We discuss about  service, human resources, learning, marketing, etc.

STAIL now has 3 departments; Islamic Education   Management, Islamic Communication and Broadcasting, and syariah economy.

We hope that this hope can be realized. May Allah help us. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah I write again now. I hope I can write every day here. Ameen.

My brother, for getting spirit we need help from Alllah. So this way, we should pray to Him in order we get high spirit. Beside that, we should leave bad thing. For leaving bad thing we should do good thing.

Based on my experience, if we interact with al-Quran more, we will get high motivation and we will leave bad thing. So, in my opinion, interaction with al-Quran is number one. We should not do anything except we interact with al-Quran before.

Interacting with al-Quran can be recite it, memorize it, practice it, etc. May we can interact with al-Quran more than before. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I write again here.

Just now I attended meeting with BEM’s member. MasyaAllah, alhamdulillah, they have spirit for making BEM’s member run well. They also give some important suggestions. I also look them by different view. They are not only students now, but they also BEM’s member. MasyaAllah.

May they can make BEM better than before. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I can write again. So long time I don't write here. I hope I can write here every day. Ameen.

My brother, I often write here that I hope I can write here everyday. But in the reality, I can't do it. I don't write here, in lovely blog, everyday. I know it. I know that this hope is still not be reached by me. I still seldom write here.

But my brother, this hope insyaAllah can be realized. Do you know my brother, just now I have installed new application in my mobile phone. The application is "note". It is very good for becoming tool of writing. So I don't need to open my laptop to write here. I only need to open my mobile phone.

This application is different with "King Office" application. I ever try to write by mobile using king office application. But I get some problems; like the size of font is small,  when I want to delete my wrong word is so difficult, etc.

But by "note" application, alhamdulillah, I don't get problems like that. Now I am writing by this application. I hope, by this application can help me to write in this lovely blog every day. Ameen.

I think, the most important, I write here. I must not pay attention to the quality of writing. If I pay attention to the quality I will not begin to write. So, in this step, the quantity is more important for me than the quality.

May be in the next step I can write good writings. The quality of writing is so good. And, the quality can be more important than quantity.

Okey my brother, only that what I want to write now. I hope, what I write can give advantage, minimally for myself. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah, finally I  can write her now.

Yesterday, we went to Panceng, Gresik for meeting. I got good statement from ust. Faishol when he gave motivation to students of STAIL there. He said that, in one day, every people get  different “results”. There is someone can memorize one page, there is someone can read many hadits, but there is someone only read a little hadits. It depend on maximilizing time. Who can maximilize his time can get more benefits than others.

MasyaAllah. Then I looked me. How about me? How about my management of time? How about my benefits that I get in one day? MasyaAllah....

Alhamdulillah, I write again. I am happy because I can write here today.

My brother, our life are full by unpredictible thing. There are many happenings that happen to us and we don’t predict it before.

It show that we are weak. We are not strong. We are only human being. We are not God. So this way we need God in our life. But unfortunately, we often forget to God. We believe in God, but we don’t pray to God before we begin their activity. We are sure that God is exist in this universe, but we don’t ask His help, ask His protection from bad thing.

We often believe to our capabilty an potention until forget who has given us capability and potention.

May we always ask His help and protection to Him. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I write again. Two days I didn’t write here. But Alhamdulillah, I write again. I must thank to Allah. It is big mercy from Him.

My brother, I get new spirit again today. What is it? It is about ideal, about goal, about dream. We should keep our ideal eventhough we don’t get it yet. We should keep it. May be, we still don’t reach it because our dream “ wait” us in the suitable time. The suitable time is when we are suitable to reach it.

So, we must make us suitable with our dream. We must effort and be patient until we are suitable.

May we can get reach our dreams quickly. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah I am happy again, because I write again here. I hope I can write here consistently.

My brother, I want to write about management of time. Really, management of time is very important. By management of time, we can do what must we do. We will not make our times be futile. We will do all of our times only for goodness.

So, management of times is management of ourselves. Manage or thinking, manage our feeling, manage our activity, etc.

Who can manage his time he can be success. Who can manage his time he will be winner. Who can manage his time he can create many creations. Who can manage his time he can be what he want.

My brother, I will try to practice this. If I can write here everyday, it mean that I can manage my time well. But if I can’t do that, so I still can’t manage my time well.

Ok, I will look it tomorow and days/months/years after tomorrow. I will look J.

Alhamdulillah, today I can write again. Really, I am so happy. Because it make me sure that I can be consistent to write and write.

O yeah, I will tell you that one of program PENA Surabaya, “friday article” run well. It was published since yesterday.

PENA is acronim from “Penulis Muda Nusantara”, “Nusantara young writer”. Nusantara is other name from Indonesia. So, it is writing club or writing group. The members are young people who want to be writer. The members are in Indonesia, not only in Surabaya.

Alhamdulillah, I am one of member PENA. I also have sent my writing about “Ilmu dan Peradaban Islam”, “Science and Islamic Civilization”. May be it will be published two weeks later, because my writing is for third edition. First edition is Mr. Robin, second edition is Mr. Syamsul Alam Jaga, third edition is me, and forth edition is Siraj or Mukmin. How about next edition? I forget it. J

I also join API, “Asosiasi Penulis Islam”, “Association of Islamic Writer”. One of the program is wall magazine. So, the writing of API’s member will be publishe in wall magazine. There are two places for wall magazine. First, it is in library of STAIL and second in front of ZISWAF building.

May PENA Surabaya and API’s members can be consistent and can be good writer. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah, I am happy now because I can write again here. I hope that I can write here everyday. Consistently. I don’t care about the quality. I don’t care, the readers will be satisfy or not when they read this writing. I don’t care that, because my target is not like that. My target is, how to write here consistently.

I know that may be I repeat my words here. But I think I need process. And this is my process. I know that I am not great writer in English. I know that and I realize that. But it is not impossible thing. I know that I am still stupid and get difficulty in writing by english. But if I write here consistently for 10 years, for example, I am sure that there will be progress in my self. The key is consistent.

The question is, can I write here everyday consistently until 10 years later? I know that it is so difficul. Moreover I must write everyday. Yeah, may be not everyday. But in one month 20 times or more. Yeah, it can be like that.

Hm, the date now is sixth of may 2016. So, 10 years later is sixth of may 2026. Wow. There are 12 months in one year. So in 10 years, there are 120 months. If in every one month I write here minimally 20 writings, so I will own 2.400 writings. Wow, it is amazing. Can I? If Allah give me long age, I will try to reach it. J

My brother, on of my dreams is becoming great lecturer. But really, it is not easy. I feel that for this semester. Usually, I am not like this. May be the cause is, I must teach subject that I am still not master in that subject. I still need to study again about that. This wise word: “studying by teaching” is very suitable to me for this time.

But my brother, Forbidden for me to give up. I must not give up. My dream to be great lecturer must be reached. I must study again harder than before. I must study harder and longer than students. I must enjoy the subject that must I teach. I must love the subject that I teach. InshaAllah I can love it. InshaAllah I can do it. Yeah, inshaAllah. J

Okey, thank you for reading. I hope I can write here every day. I hope. May this hope can be realized. Ameen.

Alhamdulillah, finally I write again here. I feel that if I don’t do my daily activity (one of it is writing here), I am like dead man. I feel that I don’t have high spirit. I feel that I don’t have advantage in this life. So this way, since today, I want to make active again my daily activity. I don’t care about the quality. My target for this time is I do my daily activity consistantly. For quality, it is the last thing.

My brother, today is Saturday, 27 of February, 2016. I hope I can continoue my effort to make better my self and to spread advantage to the world.

I hope I can. Today, I will continoue what I have begun.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I write again. I want to write that we should be better in many aspects because we will find many problems in our life. Day by day, week by week, month by month, we will get many problems and anything that can influence our thiiking.

When we get anything that influence our thinking and  our feeling, we should not make it long time. We should erase it quickly. Why? Because it can make our energy lost. Our energy and power will be used for uneuseful thing.

We should be able to manage our thinking. It is very important in order we can maximilize our times.

Alhamdulillah my brother, I write again.

Just now attended meeting of PENA’s organization. PENA is acronim from “Penulis Hidayatullah’ (Hidayatullah writer). Eventhough this program is PENA’s program, but the participans not only members of PENA but also  members of API (Asosiasi Penulis Islam, ‘Association of Islamic writer. We shared about moivation, life, spritual motivation, writing, how to write, etc.

I got big learning and light from ust. Imam Nawawi. He is very energic. He gave us spirit and motivation. He also make me write now. I still remember his statement just now, “a person who has big sin here is Luqman. He graduated from STAIL, then he studied in Gontor. He studied to Mr. Hamid directly”.

MasyaAllah. Why did he say like that? Because I don’t write as graduation of PKU Gontor. I am not acive in writing. And actually, we have many media in Hidayatullah to be writer, that is hidayatullah magazine and mulia magazine.

Important and inspiring word from what he said is, “it is about mentality”. If we have good mentality, we will write eventhough we are busy. But if our mentality is bad, we will not write.

May this can ispired us. Ameen.

My brother, this morning I joined seminar of shariah economy that’s held by “Koperasi of Sakinah”. The speaker is Dr. Imron Mawardi. He is leader of MES (Masyarakat Ekonomi Syariah) East Java, etc.

Before beginning seminar there was reading al-Quran by Ali Akbar, students of STAIL from third semester. Then, the are two welcoming statements, from leader of sakinah and leader of “Dinas Koperasi” east Java.

First welcome statement is from ust. Ali Sakinah as leader or sakinah. He gave us many importants information about sakinah and about achievement that is reached by sakinah in 2015. The achievement is getting number 1 in best “koperasi” in East Java.

The second welcoming statement is from “Dinas Koperasi” of East java. But unfortunately I forget his name. I surprise because he has lot of knowledges about islamic teaching. It can be look from his speech. And I look, he is near with ust. Ali. Subhanallah.

For the speaker, I think, in my opinion, he is not good in telling the content of seminar. I don’t know too. May be it is only my perception. In my opinion he is not success (not too success) to make audience interisting to what he tell.

My brother, from that program I also know that actually this program is not only seminar, but olso annual meeting among member of sakinah. I also get information that there is special member in sakinah. Their amount is 103. They are asatidz of hidayatullah that become member since sakinah is built. So after dzuhur, they get meeting again for having lunch and dividing of SHU (Sisa Hasil Usaha). Subhanallah.

When I ask to Mr. Daud as official of “koperasi sakinah”, we will get difficulty to be special member like them. I also get this information from Mr. Pujito when I asked him about this. Hm....may be because they have high contribution to sakinah when sakinah is still small. Yeah, may be. But I also have perception like this. This is also way of sakinah to help asatidz who have big contribution to ummah by their dakwah. Subhanallah.

O yeah, I also look ust. Warsito there. When I greet him, shaking his hand, and talk  amoment with him, I get information that he is one of special member of sakinah. Do you know my brother? He is one of my inspirator in my life. He is leader of islamic boarding school of Hidayatullah Sumenep. May Allah save him and give him istiqomah. Ameen.
