Lost Ramadhan #2

the children ask me,

“How you used to spendyour ramadhan?”

i take deep breath

“Kids, look thatMasjid… it was only a small Langgar.. but what’s a name?”

“I can’t got what yousaid!” the childrens frowning

“I miss it, since thatLanggar still here in my heart!”

“How can it be..”

“Kids, every time icome to this beautiful masjid… seem i rushed the time when this only a squarered bricks room… but we were all – the children in this place – gathered here,not only during ramadhan.. But Ramadhan was very special, since we spent almostour times and days here..”

“Did you sleep on it ?”

“Yes Kids, not onlysleeping, we played here. For ramadhan we forgot our house, we move here…”

“What about grandpa? I meant,were he angry?”

“No Kids, our fathersunderstood and even they asked us to join the children in Langgar…”

“Hmmm, it must be nice!”

“Sure! We still long that itwill be happened once again..!”

“But.. why this Masjid getrid the children now?”

Once again I take a deepbreath.

“That’s the problem. Theolds here don’t understand, that this masjid depend on you – the children here –not on us who growing older and older. ..!”

“Why you tell it to me?”

“I tell you.. my childhood…I hope you got the spirit…”

“Will you allow me to do thesame things?”

“For Sure! But i wonder, youcan get a friend”

I pat and arm their shoulder,

“That’s Maghrib…now…”

Lost Ramadhan #1

This ‘Langgar‘ is getting older

as i see i was a child spending the ramadan time

by murmuring the verse of quran.

My friends and i were hanging around this place

The ifthar prepared in such way

The children were happy sitting around the foods

Waiting for the muadzin shouting the call

The call that had been waited by the thirsty soul

Just like waiting for a dew drop in the dready desert

As i was there covered in the ocean of praising

The time that painted the scene in evry little soul..

But it was there

Beyond our past and memory

‘Cos here i am missing the things

I’ve been longing for ages..

‘Cos it was the ramadhan that lost.

Tips Belajar Bahasa Asing Secara Mandiri – Yang Teruji

oleh Steve Kaufmann

Catatan: Tips di  atasa harus anda lakukan meski anda mengikuti kursus bahasa asing yang reguler.

1. Luangkan waktu!
Sejauh ini, faktor yang paling penting dalam belajar bahasa asing adalah berapa banyak waktu yang Anda habiskan untuk terlibat dalam bahasa yang anda pelajari. Semakin banyak waktu yang Anda habiskan, maka semakin cepat akan Anda kuasai. Hal itu berarti mendengarkan, membaca, menulis, berbicara, dan belajar kata dan frase dalam bahasa asing tadi. Bukan sekedar duduk di kelas sambil melihat ke luar jendela, atau mendengarkan siswa lain berbicara dengan belepotan, atau tidak  mendapatkan penjelasan yang memuaskan (dari guru anda) tentang bagaimana bahasa itu digunakan.  Dengan kata lain anda habiskan waktu anda dengan aktivitas yang menyenangkan berssama bahasa yang anda pelajari.

Always Be There – Maher Zain

Alllahu Akbar…
Alllahu Akbar…
If you ask me about love
jika kau tanya padaku tentang cinta
And what i know about it
dan apa yang kutahu tentangnya
My answer would be
jawabku adalah
It’s everything about Allah
semua tentang Allah
The pure love, to our souls
cinta suci pada jiwa kita
The creator of you and me,the heaven and whole universe
penciptaku dan kau, langit dan alam semesta
The one that made us whole and free
dzat yang membuat kita sempurna dan bebas
The guardian of HIS true believers
pelindung dari orang yang beriman pada-Nya
So when the time is hard
maka, jika kau merasa susah
There’s no way to turn
tak ada jalan kembali
As HE promise HE will always be there
dan Dia janji Dia akan di sana
To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy
memberkahi kita dengan Cinta-Nya dan kasih-Nya
Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there
sebab, Dia berjanji dia kan di sana
HE’s always watching us, guiding us
Dia slalu melihat kita, bimbing kita
