Republika Online - 15 Tokoh Indonesia Masuk Daftar Muslim Berpengaruh Dunia

My Journey with AFL4

2009-01-11T09:13:00.000-08:00

New Delhi, December 2008.

Dear Friends,

I would like to share my story during the second outreach of Action For Life. We are 6 weeks away from Asia Plateau Panchagani. First week, We went to Dharamsala, where Tibetan in exile. We went there by 2 days in train. In Dahramshala, in the Himalayan foothills we were privileged to meet with student for free Tibet, we heard that they believe really confident to see the free Tibet through their movement of using non violence and inspired by his Holiness Dalailama. I am really touched by one Tibetan friend who accompanied us during a week visit. She mentioned what means to be Tibetan now? What is my vision for Tibet, instead of blaming and complaining others she is grateful for she has now and be a spiritual gift for the world even tough Tibet as a country is not exist.

The following day we had met with Prof.Samdhong Rinpoche, the ‘Prime Minister in exile who told us that non –violence cooperation is the only way. His warmth and listening to us are really amazing and touched us. we also met with His Holiness Karmapa, 21 year old leader after His Holiness Dalai Lama.

We had chance to meet and interact with students in a Tibetan Children Village and the ‘Transit School’, young people like us who had walked out of Tibet, over for 20 days through the Himalayas, to get better education in India. For me its really hard effort to do, their vision to improve their quality life and see the brighter future, India has generosity for the refugees and help them to live with their culture and spirituality.

From Dharamshala we moved by bus to Risikesh and Haridwar, holy Hindu cities on the Ganges. After joining the ‘Aarti’ prayers of devotion at sundown, we met Swami Chidanand Saraswati who told us, ‘God is one but He loves diversity.’ As a Muslim I was really touched by him and what he is doing to teach children and bring them to get better education and help people after tsunami and Flood. He also cares to poor woman and builds health centre for the villagers. He is really reminding me that whatever your religion the importance is how we care for Humanity needs and the best of people in front of God are who really mindful of God and be meaningful to others.

In Haridwar we were hosted in Himalayan Hospital Institute, founded by Swami Rama, his vision of integrated between science and spirituality for people around Himalayan. He built a hospital, nurse and medical institute and Rural Development institute, we had chance to visit the village under Himalayan foot hill, which they supported for water sanitation and education program for the village. We traveled by car for 5 hours and walk to the village for 6 hours. We felt so exhausted but we felt so impressed and touched how Swami Rama put the vision for the village, The people in the village can’t visit the hospital but we should visit them. We also met with the Villagers and listen to their story, the children should walk a way for school every day and the women have to bring the grass on their head for caws.

The following week we moved to New Delhi, the capital city of India. I found its really cold as a winter season.

I am staying with other 2 friends in the centre of Won Buddhism who originally from Korea and lead by Mother Park whom I met last 4 years a go in APYC Cambodia. Every morning we have a very good breakfast and laugh with 2 Korean nan who serve us with Korean Food.

Here we have chance to meet people from IC-Centre For Governance, who are mainly retired government officers and still want to use their time for good governance. I met Mr.Prabat Kumar, the former cabinet secretary of India government, he is the chair person of Ic centre for Governance, event I didn’t talk to him much but I can see his aura of leadership and the way he listened and cared to us are really touched me. We also met Viral Mazumdar, who organized the annual youth camp in Panchgani, I met him in 2005 in Kenya. He is really brilliant in diamond business and still committed to train young Indian future leader. I am inspired by his conviction and vision to run the annual youth camp with the clear message to bring young people finding their strength and their purpose of life.

I also had chance to meet Adi Matur, senior MRA India who met Soekarno when he was a student Leader of New Delhi University. In his age of 24 he met MRA and Frank Buchman and committed to work with MRA and sacrificed his ambitions on Political carrier. Listening to his story, my blood and spirit raised up to live my life meaningfully. His energy and care to us were really touching us, I felt like in real meeting with Franc Buchman, his experience working for MRA is real example and really inspired me to continue that I can be part of the hope and answer for this world.

Besides meeting with other people I also learn to renew my life, I am used to reading a book before sleeping, I read “Monk Who Sold his Ferrari”. I found its interesting, it reminded me to master my mind, body, and soul. Another point that really struck me is how to find my inner strength everyday by looking at myself leadership; I am in charge of my life, I am the boss of myself. Second is Personal Responsibility; nobody can hurt me, my life is in my hand. Third, Spiritual enlightened, I should surrender my life to God, only to him I ask help. I want to keep reading to fulfill my mind, and soul.

I wish you happy Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009.

Cheers.

My Identity; me and the world

2008-11-14T10:31:00.000-08:00

My Identity; me and world

I grew up in a Muslim culture and tradition of Java, the largest and dominant politically ethnic group in Indonesia. My parents and all family are Muslim and Javanese. My parents brought me with strong Islam and Java culture. I didn’t see any problem with this identity. I saw my father was cooperating business with Christian Chinese who lived near my house. They both respect and trust each other, even the Chinese trust my Father like a family. So this story is really giving me strength how to live together with other people who are different from me.

My point of view of seeing the diversity of my country are up and down, in one said I believed it is a strengths to build the better of Indonesia as what my founding fathers did to fight for freedom from three and half centuries of Dutch colonization but another side there were still some sectarian tension, separatism and recently the tension between Muslim-Muslim and Muslim – Christian conflict.

Then what makes me proud to be Indonesian? I never think these question seriously, it was in the first year of my University when the team of Action For Life 1, a leadership development program to engage young people to bring a message that everyone can make a different starting from their own life and had a seminar, I was told to mention about the positive things about my country, I had said that “it is reach of natural resources but poor people, largest Muslim population but we had conflict and social tension as well as the corruption. So I found it’s hard to be proud and positive to be Indonesian. Even I realized that being a Muslim by birth I was taught that I need to care to my country as its part of Islamic faith, but what I could do, as a just young student. Then at the seminar I remembered the song “It’s Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness”. I start thinking what I could do for my country. I thought that I need to reflect what mean to be Muslim and Indonesian? How I could be a good Muslim as well as a good citizen, I found that Quran said that Allah creates all human kind of man and woman, different ethnic, tribe and nation are to understand each other and the best people of us are who are mindful of Allah. This verse gives me point of view that we are all different to look at the same direction to build a good nation of Indonesia, then I found that I should take responsibility to take action and thinking of not what you can get but what you can give to your country. Trough Initiatives of Change I learn to see change in myself as well as in the world. In the Quran it said that Allah will not change the fate of nation until they commit to changing their own.

Living as Muslim and Indonesian as the largest Muslim population in the world (90% of 230 million population) and with the fact that my country has religious pluralism, my country Indonesia can offer a HOPE and PEACE for the world through friendly Muslim and good cooperation with other religion and culture. Islam and Muslim now becomes big issue around the world, in some part there are still conflict, bombings, Islam phobia, mistrust, misunderstanding and poverty. For me Islam means a peace. The Muslim greeting in all part of the world is:”Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. And Islam has the norm and teaching about the universal values that can be applied in this modern era; peace (salam), Justice, freedom, moderation, tolerance, balance, consultation, equity, as a fundamental of human dignity. These norm and Islamic teachings are the values and followed by majority Indonesian Muslim of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhamadiyah, the 2 big Largest Muslim Organization in the world, as we are best known as a moderate one. Indonesia has important role to play to create a culture of peace and conflict resolution as well as to respond social issues within the country, and in South East Asia as well as to the world. It can only happen through better me and how I can take continues efforts to bring real Islam as a blessings for all the universe and to reform and transform the physiological barriers and dilemma from ethical doubts to ethical faith through revisionary action (amal salih).

Miftahul Huda (Indonesia, participant of Action For Life4, graduated student from State Islamic University Jakarta, working with Initiatives of Change Indonesia to build trust among young people to live in peace and harmony and bring positive energy and be part of culture of peace. He is also associated with Nahdlatul Ulama Students Association Jakarta, and very passionate about how young people can make a different and really committed to be the change makers, equipped with faith and integrity. He is also a team member of International Youth Forum and Asia Pacific Youth Conference).

Asia Plateua Iofc India I am coming

2008-10-07T10:50:00.000-07:00

I am coming..................India

I am Coming to India for Action For Life 4 (AFL), a leadership training Program with Initiatives of Change.
my first impression is, I like the venue where we are having a training, very friendly natural, beautiful garden and plateau.

so this is what I am observing for the first week in India

Asia Plateu Iofc India is huge Iofc centre where every time they have different trainings whether for Young people like AFL, Internship Program 6 months, professional Development program etc. here is very cold, clean, people with vision, commitment to be the change and we are living as a community. we serve the meals, wash up the plates after eating etc.

A week on AFL I felt like I really step out from my comfort zone and really be here with AFL that I should really care and give my self for AFL, learning, caring and sharing each other. Evey session is really helpful where we were asked to be ourselves. I find my self not confident with my English and fear of look stupid in public etc. but I just really aware that I came here is to develop my self better and to learn and follow what Allah guides me.

At first day I got cold and difficult with the spicy food, we only have once a week with chicken, everyday we are eating vegetables which are really health for my body. I hope I can lose my weight here ....hehaha.. in the afternoon we always have sport together VOLLEY BALL, which I start playing it. I start to enjoy this sport.

until next week

Visa India

2008-09-29T09:12:00.000-07:00

India.....aku datang.....
sebelumnya aku pikir datang ke India akan rumit dan sulit, tapi ternyata wahh...gampang banget...walaupun kantor kedutaan India keliatan dari luar serem dan ketat penjagaan, tapi begitu kita bisa meyakinkan penjaga dan membawa berkas-berkas yang dibutuhkan gampang banget.

2 tahun yang lalu 2 temen apply visa ke India untuk 6 bulan tourist, tapi mereka mendapat kesulitan dan setelah 2 bulan mereka baru dapat visa dan itupun cuma satu bulan. alhamdulillah dengan semangat untuk datang dan belajar di India aplikasi visa untuk 6 bulan diterima. cuma dengan membawa passport, pas Foto, surat rekomendasi dari organisasi dan surat dari lembaga di India dan alamat kontak India serta membayar 964.000 IDR setelah hari ini apply keesokan harinya langsung jadi itu Visa. mau coba...!

100 Tahun kebangkitan Nasional Indonesiaku

2008-05-20T07:27:00.000-07:00

Indonesia .......

Aku ingin melihat engkau bangkit dari keterpurukanmu

Rakyatmu sebagian menikmati kemewahan sebagian lagi menjerit kelaparan, kesakitan dan hidup kesusahan

Masih adakah semangat juangmu tersisa untuk ku?

yang dulu di gelorakan Bung Tomo ?

Aku juga ingin bangkit bersamamu

mewujudkan Indonesia damai, sejahtera dan loh jinawi

karena hari ini genap 100 tahun harimu? adakah kebangkitan itu dijiwamu?

Stop Global Warming

2008-04-27T04:46:00.000-07:00

Kenapa perubahan cuaca akhir-akhir ini tak menentu?
kadang hujan, panas, ujan lagi, panas.......
tapi dunia ini semakin panas...........

Itu salah satu efek dari Pemanasan Global.........

Kita diajak untuk memikirkan kembali kenapa bumi kita berpijak menjadi panas, menjadi banjir, tsunami, badai dll....

Kita terlalu banyak mengeksploitasi alam, hutan jadi gundul, kebutuhan manusia terus meningkat, sumber daya alam berkurang. ekosistem alam terganggu.

Apa yang bisa kita lakukan?

1. Hidup bersahaja.
a. Gunakan Listrik secukupnya
b. Gunakan air secukupnya, banyak diantara kita yang tidak bisa menikmati air bersih. di Afrika setetes air bersih sangat berharga.
c. Kurangi penggunaan Plastik.
d. Lebih singkat terapkan hidup dengan pola 4R, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replace......

simple khan...........

Mengukir Hidup Lebih Indah

2008-04-21T01:09:00.000-07:00

Luangkan waktu bersama Tuhanmu....
Zikir dalam kesunyian.....
Fikir....sebelum melangkah.....................

Tanyakan pada dirimu

Apa yang benar,benar, benar ingin kamu lakukan hari ini?

Bersukurlah atas segala nikmat yang Tuhan anugerhkan....dan berterimakasihlah pada orang-orang yang membantumu.....

Catatlah hal-hal positif atau pencapaian yang kamu dapatkan hari ini.......

apakah ada kesalahan atau kekeliruan yang harus kamu perbaiki, minta maaf, memperbaiki kesalahan......

Indahhhh...bukan.....karena kita mengaungi hidup dengan penuh keikhlasan dan kejujuran.....
lihatlah dirimu dalam cermin...maka engkau tahu....siapa dirimu.......maka engkau tahu siapa Tuhanmu.....................(terinspirasi dari Iofc dan buku Quantum Ikhlas)

Kartini in Memorian

2008-04-20T23:40:00.000-07:00

Ibu kita Kartini....
Putri sejati..Putri Indonesia...
Harum Namanya......

Penggalan bait lagu diatas adalah bentuk penghargaan kepada Kartini atas jasa dan perjuanganya membela hak-hak perempuan Indonesia.

apa yang sebenarnya di lakukan Kartini sehingga dia disebut sebagai pahlawan Indonesia?
kenapa kita memperingati hari kartini dengan segudang perlombaan memasak, merangkai bunga dan pakai kebaya dan batik?

apa itu yang diperjuangkan kartini?

seingatku Kartini adalah putri bangsawan yang dibesarkan dalam keluarga ningrat dan serba kecukupan, kesadaran hatinya untuk membagun bangsa Indonesia ia torehkan dengan memanggil anak-anak untuk belajar membaca dan menulis di rumahnya karena saat itu hanya orang-orang ningrat dan berpangkat yang bisa mengakses pendidikan.

selain itu pergaulan Kartini yang luas juga turut membangun spirit Kartini untuk maju dengan berkomunikasi dengan temen-temenya seantero dunia. wow berarti Kartini dah melek banget akan komunikasi international......apa lagi kita yang sekarang ini banyak kemudahan dalam mengakses teknologi, wawasan dan pergaulan kita juga harus lebih dari Kartini.

sementara disisi lain kehidupan kita....

berita mnegerikan masih saja terjadi, kekerasan pada istri, ibu...
penyiksaan pada perempuan yang menghasilakn devisa.
keadilan jender masih belum nyata.......

Respond to Film Fitnah

2008-04-16T21:57:00.000-07:00

What is the best Muslim repond to another propaganda/provoke like "Fitanah" after Muhammad cartoon?

Why some muslim react emotionally?

why Geert Wilders makes this Film?

I think the best way is to ignore it. because Its not important what Geert Wilders say, He knows nothing about Islam but the violance, war, conflict, bombing etc. I know Islam better than him.

but I should thankful to Geert Wilders because he open the world eyes toward Islam and Muslim, not Moslem (wrong spelling).

It is sad to see the muslim react emotionally and distracted office and buildings. if Muslim react emotioanlly means they are with Wilders, because he react negatively to Islam. in other way they are tired to see the provoke after Muhammad cartoon.

Wilders is extreme right wing parliamentarian from Netherlands. He made the film is to prove his film is true. but how can we as Muslim tell the truth.

we can see the FITNAH Film, and do a reflection on it. if the film is true, then how we put it right. but if the film is wrong, how we tell people what is the truth one and how to say it with Love.

wallahu a'lam

10 Muharram/Syuro

Berpikir dan Bertindak Positif

2008-01-04T03:17:00.001-08:00

Memulai hari ini dengan berpikir positif
beri waktu untuk dirimu sendiri ......
Ubah kebiasaan negatif menjadi positif

Memulai hari ini dengan bertindak positif
bahwa kita sendiri yang harus memulai berubah
bukan dia dan kamu....

Hidup itu indah bila berpikir dan bertindak positif.

start it now....if not now when...?
strat it from me...if not me who....?

Fighting Spirit- Laskar Pelangi

2007-11-16T04:57:00.000-08:00

Novel Laskar Pelangi, yang ditulis oleh Andrea Herata memberikan pencerahan dan harapan bagi dunia pendidikan saat ini. semangat juang untuk terbebas dari belenggu kebodohan dan keterbelakangan laskar ini patut untuk di jadikan contoh bagi dunia pendidikan Indonesia.

siapa bilang pendidikan hanya untuk orang yang berduit saja, apa iya pendidikan Indonesia hanya untuk orang yang berada. Laskar pelangi membuktikan bahwa pendidikan adalah hak setiap anak Indonesia dimanapun berada, tidak peduli dia berada di ujung laut sana atau di pucuk gunung pun.

perjuangan untuk menempuh pendidikan di nyatakan oleh si .....dimana dia harus mengayuh sepeda berkilo-kilo meter bahkan harus rela menyeberangi sungai yang dipenuhi oleh buaya.

keceriaan dalam kesederhanaan untuk mencapai cita-cita tertinggi

" seorang bocah kecil menangis sesenggukan di pusaran ayah nya yang baru saja meninggl, lalu ia pun berdoa "Ya Allah, Ya Tuhan ku ampunilah dosa Ayahku dan sayangilah dia disisimu sebagaimana ia menyayangi aku".

Begitulah sepenggal cerita dari Kyai Hanif, dari pesantren Guluk-guluk menggambarkan bagaimana pendidikan yang seharusnya, tidak saja pada ranah pemikiran tapi juga pada nilai-nilai moralitas dan penghormatan pada yang tua serta menyayangi yang muda.

“Kak aku mau bilang bahwa kemarin aku udah tunangan, suara parau itu jelas terdengar dari HP ku, suara yang akhir-akhir ini selalu aku rindukan. “Apa?” tanyaku seolah tak mendengar atas apa yang ia ucapkan barusan, “iya aku dah tunangan kemarin pada 22 Januari 2007”, tutur dia panjang lebar. Aku sendiri menenangkan hatiku yang semakin berkecamuk dan ingin rasanya menutup telp ini. “Kak, kak, tadi sebenarnya aku pingin nelp duluan” jelas dia seolah ingin menenangkan suasana karena nada bicaraku langsung berubah “OK nati aku telp kamu lagi” aku sengaja mematikan HP. Huuuusssp, aku tarik napas dalam-dalam dan memejamkan mataku untuk beberapa menit. Sialan......gumamku dalam hati, perasaanku sangat kacau setelah mendengar dari dia, aku banting tas ranselku di lantai dan kujatuhkan tubuhku ke atas kasur dan berteriak, ahhhhhhhhh sambil tanganku menutup mukaku dengan bantal, sehingga jeritanku tak terdengar oleh teman sebelah kamarku. Oh...my God.....selahku dengan napas dalam, tangan kukepalkan dan kuhantamkan pada dinding kamarku. Bruuuk... bruukkk, aduuhhh....aku sedikit meringis kesakitan. “Sialan sakit juga ya” gumamku dalam hati.

22 Maret 2007, sore itu aku memberanikan diri untuk menelpon dia, “halooo.....suaraku agak kalem, kamu lagi dimana?” tanyaku penuh harap. Aku lagi di Ciputat lagi ngetik di rental basic” jawab dia. Aku boleh ketemu ga? Pintaku agak mendesak, hemmmmm, agak malu-malu dia menjawab, bisa tapi jangan lama-lama ya ? pinta dia, OK Cuma sebentar kok, ada yang mau aku sampein. Jawabku dengan penuh deg-degan. OK, di cendol huis....

Pertemuan ini akhirnya berlanjut sampai sekarang, walau pada prinsipnya aku bilang bahwa aku mendukung pilihan dia dan aku turut mendoakan semoga lancar sampai kepelaminan, tapi dalam hati kecilku, sebenarnya aku keberatan dengan keputusan yang terlalu mendadak ini. Setelah dua tahun ga berkomunikasi dengan dia seolah aku benar-benar jauh dari dia, sempat saat itu kita ketemu saat ngantri daftar ulang semesteran di bagian keuangan, tapi pertemuan dengan dia jadi berubah ketika dia memperkenalkan seorang teman yang aku juga kenal dengan dia, adik kelas di fakultas yang sama. Hi, apa kabar deni? Tanyaku basa-basi, baik kak, jawab dia sambil melirik ke arahnya. Akupun langsung ngacir setelah pamitan karena aku tahu bahwa mereka pacaran. Aku saat itu lebih memilih kegiatan-kegiatan di luar kampus yang hampir menyita seluruh waktuku, iya hampir setahun aku tinggalin kampus untuk acara pertemuan pemuda se Asia Pasifik di Jawa Barat setahun yang lalu.

Dinner yuk, sms itu langusung terkirim ke no dia, tidak lama kemudian, Ok, dimana? Jawab dia, Pak Item legoso.... “yes...gumamku dalam hati penuh kepuasan. Aku jemput kamu ya?, aku mencoba untuk agak sedikit romatis namun penuh keyakinan. “Ga usah kak, tunggu ditempat biasa aja” pinta dia. Seolah kita udah punya kesepahaman bahwa aku dilarang keras berada di depan pintu kos dia, karena dia ga enak sama teman sekamarnya. “apa jadinya kalau temen-temenku tahu aku jalan ma cowok lain?” jelas dia. Dan akupun bisa mengerti kondisi ini. Toh ini bukan pertemuan yang pertama setalah dia diikat cicin pertunangan, karena seminggu lalu kita sempat nonton bareng di Bintaro Plaza. “nanti kalo ketemu anak UIN gimana? Tanyaku agak cemas. “Biarin aja” jawab dia cuek. Aku mulai berani menyakan hubungan dia dengan tunanganganya yang juga tinggal di daerah Bintaro. “gimana kalau nanti kita ketemu ma masmu? Tanyaku penasaran. “ kok kayaknya kakak sih yang khawatir, yang tunangan kan aku” dia menjelaskan dengan segala keterbukaan. “Aku udah atur semua kak, jadi jangan khawatir” yuk tuh filmnya udah mulai.

Seandainya aku dulu lebih mementingkan perasaan ini, pasti tidak akan jadi seperti ini. “jauh di dasar hatiku, masih terukir namamu, jauh dilubuk hatiku engkau masih kekasihku” tiba-tiba nyanyian itu berputar-putar diatas mimpi bawah sadarku, aku pandangi wajah dia yang masih ayu seperti dulu, penuh kelembutan dan kehangatan. Kok nglihatnya kayak gitu sih? Seolah dia risih dengan tatapanku.

Maafin aku ya kak, mungkin ini berat untuk kakak, tapi aku harus memutuskan untuk masa depanku, mungkin ini jalan terbaikku, maafin aku ga bisa menamani kakak lagi. Tutur dia dengan mata berkaca-kaca. Aku juga sebenarnya berat untuk menjalani ini, tapi aku sudah bulat dengan keputusan ini, kakak tidak akan pernah siap dengan komitmen hubungan lebih jauh. Wanita ingin dimengerti dan butuh kejelasan status. Aku akui aku masih sayang ma kakak.

Amerika - Indonesia

2007-05-17T10:34:00.000-07:00

Pada tahun 60 an
orang Amerika
sudah punya pikiran
untuk berekreasi ke Bulan

sementara

Presiden Indonesia di Papua masih
berkutat pada soal ubi untuk bahan pangan

belum lagi

busung lapar
gizi buruk
flu burung

ditambah

BBM naik
bahan pangan naik
listrik naik

kayaknya lebih mahalan disini daripada ke BULAN

Vision

2007-05-13T07:17:00.000-07:00

Apa visi hidupmu?
mau kemana?
mau ngapain?

ingat cerita tentang visi orang Amerika yang mau kebulan? visinya sangat jelas"terbang ke bulan dan kembali ke bumi dengan selamat". visi ini sudah dimiliki mereka sejak tahun 60 an. dan banyak orang support untuk itu, sampai seorang cleaning service pun dengan suka rela melakukan mendukung visi itu, sampai banyak orang bertanya-tanya apa yang membuat si cleaning service ini begitu semangat mendukung visi ini, apakah karena dibayar mahal? tidak jawabnya? apakah karena terpaksa dan dibawah tekanan? jawabnya tidak. dia hanya ingin ketika para awak roket ke kamar mandi/toilet merasa nyaman karena bersih dan bisa melanjutkan misi ke bulan lagi.

Begitulah harusnya visi, sampai sekarangpun visi itu masih melekat kuat dalam benak orang Amerika.
