DISASTER OF NATURE

Now, the world is getting damaged. Disasters happen everywhere. Also been erratic weather. Especially in Indonesia. Now, it's uncertain whether the rainy season or summer. Every day, sometimes hot sometimes rain. Briefly tsunamis, floods, landslides, and abrasion that can not be detained.

It certainly is his own man-made, not because of fate. God has given us the potential for our use and we use the best. But we even dredge and then destroying it without going to maintain and preserve it. Whereas, when the damage occurs, we too who feel the consequences.

A Little Life

Life is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Its need to fight and sacrifice. Because there's nothing achieve easily granted.

Obstacles and barriers has been a stumbling block as well as stairs to climb higher degrees. If we are able to overcome all problems and obstacles, so sweet in the end we will be achieve. On the contrary, if the obstacles that we view as a wall and we give up so easily, in the end we'll just get bitter and regret.

Life not to cry or laugh, but lived with sincerity and struggle. Laughter and tears just movie and color that is not properly socialized.

The Dream

Everyone knows and ever dream. not only when we slept, but life was always overshadowed by the beautiful dreams.

Sometimes, people always talk and act on the dreams and desires, not because of the fact that they face. One side was not good, because most expectations are soaring. while facing the reality simply ignored.

But sure, the breath of people are still supported by a dream. When people dream, he is alive and passionate. Often, all the impossible became real and happening. Power of dreams which has made all things be so easily passed.

So, let's dream and fight. Because dreams are not fought only fantasy that is not more valuable than the film's story; watch, delicious, complete, then forgotten and without a trace.

Began from Cultural Decadence of Student (Santri)

Pesantren is a "prison"; which thoughts, ideas, and socio-cultural movement running dynamicly. These potential is growth from two things: (1) consistency and independence, (2) public trust for Pesantren. Beside a progression of pesantren for it ideas and reform movements, a values of religion succes building a charisma and a big influence in public.

Religiosity of the islamic boarding school seemed from "a society"-in this case students. Teachings and religious values that continue to be transformed through education so formed a unique culture and genuin.

In its history, the culture of pesantren was able to manifest in the reality of society. Pesantren, at least, managed to contribute order and moral-ethical values which then held by the public.

The role of pesantren which makes it as the basis for all activities. All matters relating to aspects of religious, social, educational, economic and even political relies on pesantren.

The big contributions from pesantren make people give up most of his Islamic faith to pesantren. Leader of pesantren-kiai, ustadz or teacher, and students-are the foundation of society on various problems faced daily.

The problem is, public trust to pesantren are now beginning to erode. One of them is no longer due to pesantren are on track. Some suspect pesantren "negligent" in his duties as a "goal" of islam on Indonesian. This criticism, it seems, departing from reality, many prominent of pesantren are too engrossed in the political area, craving for power, cultural decadence and morality.

Pesantren and His Act for Corruption

Corruption, now, just not as a personal crime, but as a sistemic and collective crime. So, a solution of it isn’t enought just with positive law approach—criminal law-- and leaves nets of roots of corruptor and corrupt culture in midst of society. Act of corruption must be traced to its roots. Besides that, with consistency, reconstructing a culture—like habit, paradigm, social understand, etc-- in midts of society.

Needs a courages to change the appearance of bureaucrat and repair culture of society. They—as lookly—deem corruption as the usual of habit. A clean bureaucrat of government came fom a clean social order of society.

Islam, as a revolusioner religion since came, must to take potition to wipe out its crime. Islam doesn’t be a silent doctrine and looks a suffering billion of people (masses) as result of act of corruptor in this state. Therefore, something can do by moslem to annihilate act af corruption deemed as jihad (social duty) and its value is better than jihad against Kuffar (man out of Islam).

Nahi munkar about corruption, one of it, is reconstructing (or deconstructing) all tafsir (one of models of interpretation of Qur’an and Hadits in Islam) interrelated its and tried its relevance in context. ‘ulama, religionist, moslem intellectual and santri (moslem student) must be an actor to repair the ‘ummah culture from act of corrupt. Therefore, education, one of many way, is significant point to ease get purpose repair and clean social culture. Education can to change people paradigm to be better understanding about reality, priority corruption. So, sifting paradigm must to do, one of it, with change civil understanding to these concept of theology in Islam. Theology, doesn’t be a silent doctrine and have not means that able to change the world, but must be revolusioner. Piety of religion not means good devine service, but good social attitude too.

Punish with amputate a hand, in Islam canon law, must interpreted more than as usual condition (al-Maidah: 38). It verse must interpreted as amputate all of roots of corruptors, likes them strong and power.

Therefore, two approach—law of state and law of society with repair a culture of society—is a good solution and needs to “landing” in reality. But, social approach to againts act of corrupt will be discuss, more interest to get big portion. Very Interesting, to discuss something interelated with pesantren (Islamic boarding school): its potition and contribution to repair culture of society (priority moslem society).

THE MYSTERY OF DESTINY

Life's journey is not easy to predict. Like the veil of mystery with such a thick. Yesterday we laughed, now cry, tomorrow who knows what will happen.
That's destiny. Always leave a question, curious, and disappointments. Often each person not satisfied with what can be achieved and earned. hm .. a love affair between the destiny of the human desires.

So when fate and passion can come together and bring happiness? people say that when we give thanks for what done and is found today. Resignation is key to happiness. Requires continuous and always swore reality is the source of suffering itself.

Many people are aware of it, but few are able to do so. It turned out to surrender and be grateful it is difficult, especially when we feel that the realities facing increasingly worse and no change for the better. At that time we feel that we are being toyed with destiny. God is toying with us. That is a time when our long prayers were answered as well not go, then we easily blasphemy. Ah ..

Then, the problem is also not a resignation issue, but also patiently for what happened. Difficult indeed, discusses fate is complicated problems. As if we are faced with a puzzle without clues.
