Cinta Itu Dekat ..

Di setiap tempat
Di bawah langit
Di atas bumi
Di mana air kasih mengalir, di mana udara cinta menghembus cerita

Ini tanah-Nya

Ini semesta-Nya

Ruang cinta-Nya

Seluas apapun samudra membentang
Sepanjangan apapun jalan direntang
Sejuta langkah rasa kau ambil
Masih tetaplah

Kau.. milik-Nya
Kau.. dalam genggam-Nya

Seramai apapun saudara
Sesepi sendiri dalan perjalananmu
Se-asing jiwa dari sekelilingmu
Rasa sunyi

Ketika kau rasa sepi
Di satu sudut waktu
Di sebuah jengkal ardhi

Sang Maha Cinta tidak pernah JAUH.. Selama kau MENDEKAT..

Jumpa Di Surga

Bila kita jumpa di surga

Adakah kau.. kenaliku lagi

Atau hanya seperti jumpa kita di bumi

Sekedar pandang lalu pergi menghilang

Akulah debu kecil yang kau tepis

Lembut, namun perih menorehku

Salah aku..

Maaf..

Telah mencintai, tanpa permisi

Bila kita jumpa di surga

Semoga jiwaku masih menyimpan pesonamu

Setitik fana yang kugenggam bersama bara dunia

Kurenung dalam do’a

Kuukir pada mihrab cinta

Namun, kau bukan bintangku

Pupus engkau dari langit hatiku

Pudar dalam lamun yang lain

Bila kita jumpa di surga

Tersenyumlah saja

Itu cukup mengobat rindu dahulu

Mungkin kita memang tak jumpa di ruang dunia

Setidaknya, sempat aku menemukan pendarmu

Dalam temu imagi

Hingga refleksi rasaku pada satu asa

Semoga..

Jika tidak ada kita

Mungkin kau dan dia

Aku dan yang lainnya

Semua.. dalam Bahagia

Bila kita jumpa di surga

Maka tiada sedih lagi

Jiwa bersujud lega

Harapanku berjawab

Kita bahagia, meski tak bersama

Bila kita jumpa di surga

The Power Of Giving Are You A Believer?

Can the power of giving really change your life? By putting prosperity principles to work will you really see improvement in your financial situation, your happiness, your success? Many people, including me, believe wholeheartedly it will.
Power of Giving

If you are one of the many who already know the true rewards of philanthropy or sharing a charitable donation with others read on... there are many resources here for you. Stick around and share your story.

If you are new to the concept, you've come to the right place and will hopefully leave this website more enlightened and informed than when you arrived.

Giving, Philanthropy,

The first time I was introduced to a concept like the power of giving I was more than a little intrigued. I was taking a class by a well known financial guru. One of the things he taught was tithing 10% of everything you make back to charity. By doing so, he told us, our financial situations would improve greatly.

Hmmmm, I thought... if I had money to give away, I wouldn't be taking a class on improving my finances. At that time, I had a very hard time wrapping my mind around the power of giving concept. After all, I had bills to pay, responsibilities to tend to. Wouldn't it be completely negligent of me to give money away when I so desperately needed it?

At the same time though, my thoughts kept dwelling back to the teacher. He always drilled the "giving back" theory home. He had money. He had success. He appeared to be happy. His students looked up to him. He was well respected. Maybe, I thought, there was something to this power of giving idea.

After I decided to open my mind a bit and allow some of this to sink in I had many questions. There are so many ideas out there on who to donate to and how much it can become confusing.

Some say, you MUST offer to the church. I like my church, I like the people at my church. Did I like the idea of giving the money I really didn't have to the church? Maybe. I wasn't sure.

Some say, donate to anyone in need. That sounded nice. Who were these people in need? Where were these people in need? How do you give to them?

Then there were all the conflicting ideas of how much to donate. Some say it has to be 10% to count. Whose counting? Some say it needs to be much more while still others say just give what you can. Just give what you can. Now that sounded like a nice idea.

Since, at that time, I was being taught to contribute 10%, I followed those guidelines my first time giving money away.

I received a phone call from a friend who was running in a marathon for cancer awareness. She was a survivor. She was looking for donations but said she understood if I was unable to.

Immediately after I hung up with her, I was handed my pay check for the week at work. Without hesitation I wrote a check for 10% of my pay check and dropped it in the mail to my friend before I could change my mind.

Did I have second thoughts after I dropped the money in the mail? You betcha! I thought, Oh my gosh, what have I done? How will I pay my entire mortgage, or will I be able to buy groceries this week? I had anxiety.

It didn't last long. Amazingly I was able to cover all my bills. I don't even remember feeling a pinch.

The best part was though, I received a phone call from my friend. She had received my check. She was crying. She was overwhelmed with my generosity (she knew my financial situation). She was so choked up with emotion, she got me all choked up. Her happiness caused a lump in my throat. I'll never forget it. Then, she proceeded to tell EVERYONE we knew how generous I was. How's that for the power of giving?

Even if I had felt a pinch that week I would have gladly accepted it just to reap the rewards of my friends happiness. I felt good. Very good. I knew I did the right thing.

Later that month I received an unexpected $1000 bonus at work. I just sat staring at the check. Coincidence? Maybe. Would I have received the bonus anyway? I don't know. All I know is two things happened; I did something good for someone and my life was enriched, happier if you will, in doing so and my financial situation was better NOT worse by donating money. Neat trick, huh?

There are numerous stories on the power of giving just like mine out there. You'll find other examples here on this website. You'll also find information to help you sort through the confusing conflicts of who to give to and how much. Information on how to offer from your heart and the many benefits you'll receive in return. It's all about who you are, who you want to be and what makes you most enlightened, empowered and joyous, and allows you to feel the true power of giving.

To Give or To Get

Seorang pebisnis muda datang mengadukan masalahnya kepada sahabat saya yang berprofesi sebagai konsultan spiritual bisnis. Pebisnis itu membuka masalahannya dengan mengatakan,



“Pak saya memiliki adik yang sangat durhaka. Ketika kuliah saya yang membiayai. Ketika dia menikah saya yang menikahkan dan menanggung semua biayanya. Sekarang berbekal satu kwitansi atas namanya, dia akan menggugat saya ke pengadilan. Dalam gugatannya ia mengatakan rumah yang saya tempati adalah milik adik saya.” Pebisnis muda itu diam diam sejenak sambil menarik napas panjang.



Kemudian dia meneruskan ceritanya,

“Padahal rumah itu saya beli dengan tetesan keringat saya. Saya nggak habis pikir, mengapa dia tega melakukan ini. Saya minta petunjuk dari Bapak bagaimana menundukkan adik saya. Saya ingin agar adik saya sadar dan tidak usah membawa permasalahan itu ke pengadilan. Saya malu dengan banyak orang.”



Kemudian konsultan bertanya;

“Dari mana uang yang kamu gunakan untuk membangun rumahmu?” Orang itu menjawab;

“Dari hasil jerih payah usaha saya. Saya pernah punya usaha pom bensin tapi sekarang sudah bangkrut.”

“Terus darimana modal usaha pom bensinmu?” Desak sang konsultan. Dia terdiam. Setelah menarik nafas panjang, dia berkata ;

“Modal usaha pom bensin saya peroleh dari hasil penjulan tanah milik ibu saya. Saya jual tanah itu tanpa izin ibu saya. Ibu saya kecewa, tak lama setelah kejadian itu ibu saya dipanggil Yang Maha Kuasa.”



“Itulah sebab musabab problem anda. Memulai usaha dengan uang yang tidak bersih bahkan dengan cara menyakiti ibu kandung anda. Ironisnya, anda belum sempat meminta maaf kepada ibu anda dan dia sudah meninggal dunia.” Jawab konsultan muda itu.



“Terus bagaimana saya selanjutnya?” kata orang itu. Konsultan energik itu menjawab: “Ikhlaskan rumah itu buat adik anda. Kehidupan anda tidak akan berkah dengan rumah yang merupakan buah dari menyakiti ibu anda”



Butiran jernih mengalir di pipi orang itu. Dengan nada tersengal dia berkata;

“Lalu dimana keluarga saya harus berteduh?” Sang konsultan menjawab ;

“Allah SWT, Tuhan Penguasa Alam Maha Kaya, pasti ada jalan yang akan Dia berikan.” Sesampainya di rumah sang kakak memanggil adiknya,

“Adikku daripada kita bertengkar di pengadilan dan hubungan persaudaraan kita rusak hanya karena rumah ini, aku serahkan rumah ini untukmu. Aku ikhlas. Rumah ini sebenarnya milik ibu, bukan milik saya. Mulai hari ini, rumah ibu ini aku serahkan sepenuhnya untukmu.”



Sang adik berdiri dan kemudian memeluk sang kakak sambil berkata ;

“Kakakku, rumah ini adalah rumahmu, maka ambilah. Saya tidak akan meneruskan ke pengadilan. Tinggalah dengan damai di rumah ini bersama istri dan anak-anak kakak. Saya bangga menjadi adikmu. Saya tak ingin kehilangan engkau kakakku…” Keduanya berpelukan dengan linangan air mata di masing-masing pipinya.



Kisah nyata di atas memberi pelajaran kepada kita bahwa ketika kita berpikir apa yang akan saya dapatkan (to get) maka yang kita peroleh adalah kegelisahan dan permusuhan. Sebaliknya ketika kita berpikir apa yang bisa saya berikan (to give) maka yang kita peroleh kedamaian, rasa hormat, rasa cinta dan persaudaraan.



Tatkala kita berpikir “to get” pada hakekatnya kita masih terjajah. Terjajah oleh harta, terjajah oleh jabatan, terjajah oleh kepentingan dan terjajah oleh gengsi.



Orang-orang yang merdeka adalah orang yang di dalam dirinya tertanam kuat sikap to give. Bila ia memiliki harta, ilmu dan karunia lainnya ia selalu berpikir kepada siapa lagi saya harus berbagi… berbagi…dan berbagi.

Bee is faster than supercomputers

Inside brain of the bee there are processors much faster than supercomputers despite its size(less than Pinhead), its speed is up to one trillion operation per second , let us read and glorify Allah …

Scientists had found that the bee is using ultra violet ray for vision; wave of this ray is short so that bee can see faster than human. It has to distinguish quickly while flying searching for food among the flowers. when it watch a video it can only see constant photos because its vision speed is more than human as it distinguish the photos in a film one by one.

Processing speed in the bee

Scientists say that bee can perform one trillion arithmetic operations in one second which is faster than any computer in the world!

A real colored photo for eye of bee where there is superior thirty thousand lenses!! This enables the bee for better vision, today scientists are trying to mimic something like that but they are incapable in front of the precise divine design. Look at small head that contains thousands of millions of cells. All of them are working simultaneously in a tremendous speed which is more than the most complicated computers. Glory to Allah!!

Eye of bee consists of thousands of small lenses taking the hexagonal shape, scientists found that this design helps the bee for better vision in forests and to avoid collision with each others. Scientists who believe in secularism are wondering from that perfect design as its brain contains thousands of millions of cells and the size of the brain is less than Pinhead.

Professor Luke Lee one of the famous artificial eye designers who tried to imitate an eye like eye of bee said: "I wanted to understand how nature can create layer upon layer of perfectly ordered structures without expensive fabrication technology".

The answer is in God's saying: (He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife? He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything.* such is Allah, your Lord! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things. So worship Him (Alone), and He is the Wakîl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things.* No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is Al-Latîf (the Most Subtle and Courteous), Well-Acquainted with all things.)(Sûrat Al-An’âm-verse101-103).
