Love is Cinto

“I don’t like this” Think again! Why don’t you like it? Is it because of your ego? Is it because of what Allah has said? Well, it has never been about you, me, or us. Ask again! “Does Allah like it?” That’s the question that we should pose to ourselves, because we are here, in this dunya,  to please Allah. Our task then is to vigorously learn and reflect on Allah’s Kalaam (words).  Certainly, we won’t be following the wrong thing and think of it as from Allah, right? That’s why it is important to root for reliable sources with critical thinking. Besides, Allah always challenges us to think, doesn’t He?

Satu hal yang aku pelajari dari teman dan sahabat yang saat ini sudah berumahtangga.  I know their story long before they decided to get marry. I may say, I knew a few of their problems that almost break them apart. But they made it anyway. That’s not because their couple are perfect and never make mistakes. It’s actually the other way around. They made mistakes and were forgiven. Forgive and move on. That’s the key. My friends decided that these imperfect men were perfect for them. I pray for their happiness, merciful, and blessed marriage. I don’t know if it’s only me, but I usually will use a check lists. Once they satistified the first item, they pass onto the next one. Up until all the lists are checked. Guess what? That’s never happen. No one has ever made it to the last list. They must had been fallen out in the process. Hmmm.. Now, I feel like that kind of approach is a total joke. Because the journey is never been about finding the one who can fulfill them al...

Corresponding to the last post, I am not saying that every religion is right. NO! Tolerance does not go that far.  Sure, a person would say that his/her belief is the right one. If not, why would (s)he bother to follow its teachings? Saying “all religions are true” is so diplomatic speech. Deep down, we know what we believe in and why. And sure, as a Muslim, I would strongly say that Islam is the right one. That’s my ultimate truth. That’s for me. For you? You can decide it on your own and I respect that. To me, the above paragraph shows  tolerance in my humble opinion.  Tolerance allows you to respect others’ view even when you are standing across their position. It enables you to come up and say your opinion fearlessly even when nobody agrees with you (and you do not  force  them to). The ability to  acknowledge the existing differences  without violently impose our views on others [or vice versa], and eliminating the necessity ...

Out of blue, neither trying to be judgmental nor righteous, I haven’t come to understand those who cheat on their lovers. If you dont love this one person anymore, why dont you just break it up? Why should make things even more complicated by involving third party? Some said, “it’s just for fun” or “i was too lonely”. You gotta be kidding me! What’s so fun about torning your heart into two out of loneliness. Are you a kid who cant be on your own for a sec?? Is your life only about love and sex? Isn’t there any bigger purpose that you can focus on? Oh, tolong dipikirin yang ini ya: “Jika dia bisa selingkuh dari pacarnya, artinya dia juga bisa selingkuh dariku nantinya. Emangnya apa yang berbeda tentang diriku. Am I the exception (If it does exist)?” That’s probably can help you to not stabbing your special one. I fail to understand how could you do that to your loved ones? Unless you dont really love him/her. The only question that bothers me, how does it fe...
