(the passage for mid-test)
Fasting during Ramadan, the Muslims holy month, was ordained during the second year of Hijrah. Why not earlier? In Makkah the economic conditions of the Muslims were bad. They were being persecuted. Often days would go by before they had anything to eat. It is easy to skip meals if you don’t have any. Obviously fasting would have been easier under the circumstances. So why not then?
Religion and culture are interconnected and have a multidimensional relationship. Religious tenets often produce some cultural products which are born among religions’ disciples. This assumption occurs in all religions with no exception. Islam, as one of religions in the world, also produces some cultural creation made by its disciples. Therefore, we know the difference between the terms Islamic tenets and Islamic culture.

Many people sometimes have done the mistake when making decisions in life. It is caused by several things such as carelessness, laziness, ignorance, etc. Very often, people don’t observe something thoroughly so it certainly makes them fall into the hole of mistake. While the fool people will repeat this mistake for the second time, the smart ones won’t. The latter will learn from what happened to them and try their best to not fall into the same hole.

(I was influenced by the book ‘Wajah Peradaban Barat’ written by Dr. Adian Husaini when writing this posting)
Nowadays, our sight on defining who we are has been blurred by many ideologies in the world. The way we think, act and behave is really influenced by them. It becomes worse when we are overwhelmed by a great number of information supporting these ideologies. This information then successfully assures us that we’re in the ‘right’ position.

Yesterday PPRUW* held a big event namely ‘Student Literacy Week’. More than 300 students from various schools all-over East Priangan attended this event enthusiastically. The program consisted of three agendas; students’ book launching, literature meeting and journalism course.
Students’ book launching was spent for introducing the contents of book entitled ‘Hidup Sekali Hiduplah yang Berarti’ (Live once, Live meaningfully). This book tells us about the unique students’ life in pesantren (boarding school). The authors which are students of PPRUW beautifully described their experience while living in a boarding school with a soft and ‘crispy’ language. The book is about ‘blazzer’ a unique school car, the banned activity called ‘pepping’, the obligation of using English and Arabic in students’ daily conversation, etc. While the program, the authors enthusiastically explain the chapters before participants.

I sometimes wonder why God created mankind in a great number of diversities. There are poor, rich, white, black, strong, weak, fool, smart, etc. It can be easily mentioned that the rich are better than the poor, while the smart is worthier than the fool. The white are judged better than the black and the strong have more authority than the weak. Unfortunately, these diversities, as what I sometimes see, separate people into some groups which don’t know each other. Furthermore, in extreme condition these diversities cause some miserable conditions in mankind’s life. The story about the rich underestimate the poor or the smart conquer the fool often appears in our television’s daily issue.

This week seems worthier than other weeks I usually have. Some exciting experiences I face make it so special and unforgettable that they charge my spirit to go on this life. By chance, sudden powers make me believe that I shouldn’t do this life flatly and I have to do better and more than yesterdays. To make it remain in my mind for a long time, I intentionally document it in this lovely blog. Let’s check it out, guys!

Five-year-time is strong enough to make me think that education is the only way to make social reconstruction in our ummah. The unique educational praxis I got from Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor showed me how education should be conducted if aimed at ummah development. Gontor is not a collection of educational theories, but it is, instead, an educational system that endavours to sharpen the personality of every Muslim teenager. After graduation, its alumni are hoped to make a social reconstruction in somehow it forms.

Why is education so important for our sustainable life? Many scholars on educational philosophy have the prolonged discussions on it even though they have different notions on how it should be carried out. They all agreed that mankind should have the access on education in somehow it forms, unless, they couldn’t develop and maintain their great civilization. All what we’re watching now from complicated development of sciences and technologies are the fruit of what is so-called sustainable education.
