Sembunyi

Ini sudah larut, bagiku. Hebatnya, saya masih bangun dan siaga pada jam segini. Padahal biasanya sudah dibawa ke alam mimpi. Baru tadi saya kembali membuka akun  media sosial dan scroll singkat beberapa kali. Walhasil, terbacalah sebuah tulisan yang isinya marah-marah, kemana mahasiswa katanya. Yah, saya ikut merasa dimarahi juga. Saya dulu juga aktifis, tapi sekarang sudah lulus dan bergabung dengan realita sampai sampai lupa, kalau ada yang harusa dibela. Hebat ya, baru juga lulus berapa bulan dan berhasil lupa dengan perjuangan empat tahun kebelakang. Tuntutan hidup luar biasa tinggi. Saya begitu fokus untuk mengejar pencapaian dan berkecimpung dengan hobi. Sudah jarang saya membahas pedagang kaki lima atau sekedar kritik politik yang tiada guna. Obrolah seperti itu, sudah jauh sekali rasanya. Malam ini jadi galau juga. Galau karena sadar bahwa saya sudah lupa idealisme dan termakan realita. Tapi mau bagaimana, hidup harus dihidupi dan kritik politk itu tak mampu men...

 Tiga Pertapa Leo Tolstoy Beberapa hari yang lalu aku baru saja mengkhatamkan sebuah buku kecil yang sangat manusiawi. Beberapa detik setelah kalimat terakhir dalam buku ini, aku tersenyum dan menatap langit-langit yang kosong. Seperti kosongnya cerpen yang baru kubaca, sarat makna, hanya aku yang tak berhasil memecahkan teka-tekinya. Jadi, tersisalah kepalaku yang kosong karena tak berhasil menemukan makna lugas di dalamnya. Aih.. Ukurannya yang sedikit lebih besar dari foto berukuran 4R dan ia hanya memiliki 93 halaman. Sebuah buku yang bisa kau tamatkan dalam satu pukulan telak, iya kan?  Biasanya, banyak buku yang menuliskan judulnya dengan huruf besar dan menarik sementara penulisnya hanya dirulis kecil di bawah atau di sudut cover halaman. Tapi, tidak dengan buku ini. Ukuran huruf nama penulisnya jauh lebih besar dari judul bukunya, dan memang, nama penulis itu yang jadi daya tariknya. Yah, mungkin penerbit ingin bukunya laris terjual karena memang na...

Chapter Two The True Nature of Humans In this chapter the explaination is based from the Islam holy book: Qur’an. As we talked before, the Islamic Psychology is based on two sources: Qur’an and hadiths and rational sources. At first, Dr Aisha told the story of Adam and Eve from Qur’an 2: 30-39. This story, the first creation of   human being is provide some lessons about human beings: placed on earth for a purpose, have eminent role in the world, blessed with valuable capabilities, have waeknesses, have potential to elevate themselves by submitting to guidence of Allah, and their key to salvation and happines is in believing and following the guidence that comes from Allah. Believing in existance of Allah is instinctive in human baings. This innate termed ‘fitrah’ and is generally defined as the pristine nature between humans that leads them to acknowledge the truth of Allah’s existence and to follow his guidence. The point is believing to the concept of ‘high...

Chapter One Introduction to Psychology For the chapter one, Dr Aisha stated her purpose why she wrote this book. First, it is to describe some detail the Islamic Perpective on psychology, mental health and well-being.   Second, it is to present some of this contemporary scientific evidence. And last but not least, the third is to remind readers of the petential for self-transformation that Islam offers for each human baing.  In her explanation about her purpose, i noted one senteces that make me more motivated to study my master degree. Dr. Aisha stated that actually, Islam doesn’t need to be proved. But, in this day and age, when science has been given priority over relevation, it is important to demonstrate the reality of our own discoveries. Well, she is amazing.  In this first chapter, we can learn what is the differences between Islamic and secular perspective. The basic differences is coming from the object of study. Secular perpective just foc...

This paper is abook review of Psycologhy From Islamic Perespective that was bought by my lovely father last year. He gave it to me because i took psycologhy for my master study. This book was published by International Islamic Publishing House and wrote by Ustadzah Aisha from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 2011. From the cover, we can see that its using hard cover and looked good and cool but also seems pretty weight to take out everywhere. But, when we study the insight, i think it’s pretty worth it. The paper that used was yellow coloured and has good quality. For a glance look, this book is really cool. The language that used is easy, the english is light and the explanation is easy to understood. Whoever read this book, even they not a scholars or some student collages, it still be easy for them to understand this book. The thickness of this book is volumed 351 pages. For some first pages, it contains table of content that have pretty long list and take 4 pages to write ...
