THE NEED OF GUIDANCE

Human needs guidance. A set of rules governing the everyday life which influences ANY decision we make.

In Islam, it (supposed to be) clear that Al-Qur’an and Sunnah is our PRIMARY manual.
However, that’s not the case when religion only applied to private affairs.

Back then, I was using a set of list of “lessons-learned” from my past experience and common sense to navigate my life. I truly believed that everything happened in our life was meant to teach us something, thus I gathered my own life principles through trial-and-error kind of way. I always have this kind of question since my early adolescence: what combination of characters will be best for me as a human-being?

I was kind of want to try numerous roles and things to get this outcome. How folly ambitious I was? HAHA. But then, I realize two things:
TIME CONSTRAINT. We don’t live forever, do we?
How would you try all (or most of) roles and learn all the paths just to find the perfect one? Once you believe it is good for you, be right on. As we don’t know how long we have left in this world. Btw, I once read a post saying “how could you say that Islam is the right one before you study all of the religion/faith available out there?” I believe he mentioned a considerable number of faiths/religions available throughout the world. Buddy, why would I go through all the option of multiple answer when I already have a one certain answer? Even an exam has time limit. By the time I am done analyzing the options, I might not have the time left to start practicing the faith. Yah, masa hidup cuma nganalisis pilihan doang sih? Rugi dong. Talbis euy..talbis..

EACH CHARACTER WOULD HAVE SIDE EFFECT
This means there is no “perfect” character. 

I am truly grateful that now I have chosen Islam as my way of life. Things are easier when you have a fix guideline: just copy the akhlaq and adab of Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Since the guidance is fix, now I can start working on the progress. Bismillah

Besides, the knowledge that even the Shahabat were so diverse in characters and yet they were declared to be successful by Allah, somehow eases my heart to just be the best version of myself. Accept what Allah has given me, adjust and amend what is bad, enhance what is good, and most importantly stay istiqomah (steady) because this life is a process towards the end which is unforeseeable. May Allah grant us His mercy to die in Khusnul Khotimah. Aamiin.

ASP: Akuntansi Masjid vs Gereja

v   AKUNTANSI MASJID Akuntansi masjid merupakan proses pengidentifikasian, pengukuran, pencatatan, dan pelaporan transaksi- transaksi keuangan yang dilakukan oleh sebuah organisasi (biasanya disebut takmir) sebagai bentuk pertanggungjawabannya dalam mengelola sumber daya masjid. Pencatatan dilakukan sesuai dengan prinsip keadilan, kebenaran, dan pertanggungjawaban. Selain sebagai bentuk pertanggungjawaban takmir masjid yang bertindak sebagai pengelola, akuntansi masjid juga bertujuan untuk menyediakan informasi yang dibutuhkan untuk mengambil keputusan. Misalnya peralatan apa yang dibutuhkan secara rutin, aktivitas apa saja yang harus dilaksanakan, serta bagaimana mengalokasikan sumber daya masjid untuk memenuhi kebutuhan- kebutuhan tersebut. Peran akuntansi masjid yang lain adalah sebagai pengendalian manajemen. Proses pencatatan akuntansi masjid ini jauh lebih sederhana bila dibandingkan dengan pencatatan pada akuntansi konvensional. Dimulai dengan melakukan identifikasi s...

Grateful for Every Little Thing

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Makers of 'vegan' tiramisu that killed Italian woman, 20, with severe dairy allergies are set to go on trial for manslaughter | Daily Mail Online This morning, I read this article. And once again, I realise how ingrateful we can be most of the time. The "little" things that we take for granted, i.e., in this case, not having any allergic reaction to specific ingredients or medicines. How easy and comfortable for me to be able to go to any restaurant and order any (halal) things that I like, without needing any extra precaution to safeguard my LIFE. A (may seem to be simple) thing for most of us, milk and cheese, can be deadly for someone else. Alhamdulillah yaa Rabbi, for every single blessing You have been bestowing upon me. Alhamdulillah bini'mati taatimmusshalihaat. Help us to remember all the blessings, yaa Rabbi.. help us to be among Your grateful servants. -- On a side note, it also makes me realise how big of a deal to ensure food saf...

Terdapat dua model umum pelaporan keuangan yaitu Anglo- American Model atau Anglo- Saxon Model dan Continental Model. Anglo- Saxon Model lebih cenderung didominasi oleh peran profesi akuntansi, sedangkan peran pemerintah terbatas. Selain itu juga menekankan pada kepentingan pasar modal dan penyajian yang jujur, wajar, dan dapat diaudit. Kebalikannya, model continental lebih cenderung didominasi oleh peran pemeran dan peran profesi akuntansi cukup terbatas. Anglo- American Model United Kingdom Sebelum tahun 1981, Companies Act focus pada disclosure. Namun mulai tahun 1981, Companies Act yang sebelumnya dikonsolidasi dan beberapa arahan dari EU dilewatkan.
