New Year's celebrations around the world.

New Year is the time, when we all want to start on a good note. It is the time when you want to wish each other that the coming year is filled with happiness, joys and loads of success. New year is a symbol of positivity. By welcoming the new year on a positive note, The new year brings with it, its own set of aspirations, hope and desires.

From world to the acehnese, here's a look at New Year's :

Tidak ada perayaan yang begitu meriah pada malam pergantian tahun baru di Banda Aceh, begitu berbeda dengan daerah lainnya. Itu wajar, menurut saya, karena di Aceh menerapkan hukum Syariat Islam dalam menjalankan roda kehidupannya. Selain dilarang oleh agama, himbuan pun dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah agar tidak ada kegiatan apapun di malam pergantian tahun.

If some people are preoccupied with pronouncing a resolution that will be realized in the new year, different from me. It does not have a life-span that I will run over the next year, but I prefer to improve things I have missed meaninglessly over the past year. Enough for me to improve myself and as much as possible to make other people happy for the next year, no more. 

Selamat Tahun Baru, dan Semoga harapan-harapan tahun lalu yang belum terlaksana atau terlewatkan di tahun ini akan terwujud kembali, Amin....

Wasalam

Best Regards,

Mengenang Tsunami Aceh 13 Tahun Lalu.

Tsunami Aceh yang terjadi pada 26 Desember 2004 silam, tercatat dalam sejarah sebagai musibah terbesar yang pernah terjadi di dunia. Gempa berkekuatan 9,8 skala richter menyebabkan gelombang tinggi mencapai 30 meter.

13 years ago, precisely on December 26, 2004, on a sunny Sunday morning, suddenly the earth shook. Earthquake magnitude 9.1 to 9.3 SR shook the Earth's Veranda of Mecca (Aceh Province). Hundreds of thousands of lives instantly drifted, and the buildings and what they crossed were damaged by the tremendous waves.

For the people of Aceh, or who once resided in Aceh, the tsunami that devastated Aceh, is still inherent in its memories and soul, especially survivors.

Islam with my life, Islam adalah agama rahmatan lil 'alamin

Sekarang banyak kita jumpai fenomena yang sangat memprihatinkan dan menyedihkan hati. Banyak dari saudari-saudari kita yang terpesona dengan kehidupan dunia, sehingga timbul predikat ‘cewek matre’, yaitu bagi mereka yang menyukai laki-laki karena uangnya. Ada juga diantara saudari kita yang memilih laki-laki hanya karena fisiknya saja. Ada juga diantara mereka yang menyukai laki-laki hanya karena kepintarannya saja, padahal belum tentu kepintarannya itu akan menyelamatkannya, mungkin justru wanita itu yang akan dibodohi.

.

Sebenarnya tidak mengapa kita menetapkan kriteria – kriteria tersebut untuk calon pasangan kita, namun janganlah hal tersebut dijadikan tujuan utama, karena kriteria-kriteria itu hanya terbatas pada hal yang bersifat duniawi.

.

Dianjurkan untuk memilih laki-laki yang baik agama dan akhlalnya, maka bukan hanya kebahagian dunia saja yang akan kita dapatkan, tapi kebahagiaan akhirat yang kekal pun akan kita nikmati jika kita mempunyai pasangan yang bisa diajak bekerjasama dalam ketaatan kepada Allah

.

Memilih calon suami yang mempunyai agama dan akhlak yang baik, dengan hal tersebut ia diharapkan dapat melaksanakan kewajiban secara sempurna dalam membimbing keluarga, menunaikan hak istri, mendidik anak, serta memiliki tanggung jawab dalam menjaga kehormatan keluarga.

.

Rasulullah shallallahu’alaihi wa sallam bersabda, “Jika datang melamar kepadamu orang yang engkau ridho agama dan akhlaknya, maka nikahkanlah dengannya, jika kamu tidak menerimanya, niscaya akan terjadi fitnah di bumi dan kerusakan yang luas.” (HR. Tirmidzi, hasan)

.

Seorang laki-laki bertanya kepada Hasan bin ‘Ali, “Saya punya seorang putri, siapakah kiranya yang patut jadi suaminya ?” Hasan bin ‘Ali menjawab, “Seorang laki-laki yang bertaqwa kepada Allah, sebab jika ia senang ia akan menghormatinya, dan jika ia sedang marah, ia tidak suka zalim kepadanya.”
