God Testing Me With Four Lives

Life is a test. Like any living color that God gave to a servant, whose name is not spared from the exam. The servants remain patient or a kufr and disobedience.

From the standpoint of theory, all people who believe in recognizing it. Very difficult to understand that and glad that as a test. But, what if the test was tangible in real life. Can?

That's what's been experienced Khairiyah. All started in 1992.

At that time, God brings Khairiyah mate with a young man who is not familiar. Match that lasted through his brother who are concerned with his sister who had not yet married. Though his age was nearly thirty years.

For Khairiyah, marriage is a door of worship in which so many deeds that he could achieve. Therefore, he did not want to initiate the door with something that is not God approves.

He deliberately chose the proposal through his brother, because the candidates do not yet know how it can better maintain the level of sincerity to enter marriage. And a marriage that did not take place attended by mothers and fathers Khairiyah. Because, they do have long called by God when Khairiyah still very young.

The days had passed Khairiyah menage with full happiness. While the husband was only a driver in a tourism company, he felt sufficiently with the existing.

Blessing in Khairiyah households began to appear. Without a pause again, direct Khairiyah pregnant. She and her husband were so happy. "Not long now, we have kids, Bang!" she told her husband.

Start the day-to-day cravings that this troublesome new partner. But for Khairiyah, everything goes so pleasant.

And, what awaited was coming. Khairiyah first baby was born. There is happiness, but there is also a concern.

Perhaps, this is the first concern for this couple. From this, it starts scrolling crucible.

The doctor stated that the first baby Khairiyah premature. The baby was born in a six-month pregnancy. He named Dina.

Although doctors allowed to go home with her mother Dina, but must continue outpatient. And of course, matters become unavoidable costs for a husband Khairiyah the only driver.

At least twice a week Khairiyah and husband back and forth to the doctor to check out Dina. Sometimes because of busy husband, Khairiyah drove Dina alone.

Several months later, God gave me good news to Khairiyah. She was pregnant for the second child.

For Khairiyah, expectations of the entertainment of both children began to blossom. Let the children first be a test, the second child will be a solace. That's about delusion Khairiyah and husband.

With the permission of Allah, the second child born Khairiyah safely. The baby also has the name of Nisa. Born in when his brother was only one year. And birth, while his brother still lay like a diseased patient inside. Can not talk and respond. In fact, crawling and sitting was not able. An oddity for infants aged one year.

Several weeks passed after Khairiyah face weary and troublesome birth. God gives two additional exams for Khairiyah and husband. His second son, Nisa, experiencing a strange disease that medical science has not been detected. Often the heat and strain, then normal like nothing happened. And so on.

Until the age of six months even, Nisa has not shown like a baby's normal development. He looked like his sister who was still lying in bed. Khairiyah husband and paced back to the doctor with two children at once.

At the age of six months Nisa, Allah gave glad tidings for a third time for Khairiyah and husband. Apparently, Khairiyah pregnant.

Not to mention her second child, even one year, the third child born Khairiyah. At that time, the arrival of the solace of hope reappears. And her third child was a baby boy. His name, Fahri.

Begin your day is very inconvenient dilakoni Khairiyah. Imagine, two children have not seen signs of recovery, a third baby had come seize the attention of the mother.

But, the trouble was still covered by the hope Fahri Khairiyah with the presence of an entertainer who started one month old.

Unfortunately, God has willed another. What is expected Khairiyah totally incompatible with what God wants. Fahri, a disease similar to his brothers. He is like suffering from paralysis.

Be, three infants who are powerless to close the gap of time and cost Khairiyah and husband. Almost all the valuables he sold to seek treatment. Start doctors, carpenters etc., herbal, and others. Still, the changes have not appeared in the children Khairiyah.

Rather, the changes appear on my beloved husband. Because of frequent overtime work and less rest, Khairiyah husband suddenly ill. Her stomach was distended, and nearly all of his skin is yellow.

Only about ten hours in the hospital, her husband died. September 2001, became a new point of traveling with trials Khairiyah new, more complex than ever. And, stay to face the complexity of the life of the mother with three children who are sick, keep lying, and not yet showing signs of recovery.

Three months after her husband's death, God tested Khairiyah with something he had never experienced before. Fahri, the youngest, go away for good.

Sometimes Khairiyah stunned by what he was going through. There is something that almost never escape from her life, tears.

During the nine years of sailing the household, such as tears never ceased to drip on both eyelids mother who graduates' of this aliyah. More and more relatives to visit with the intention that teardrop round, more and more tears flowed. Continues to seek forgiveness, remembrance and tears came out it was the same.

Khairiyah trying to stand on their own without waiting for the mercy of neighbors and relatives. In between busy taking care of two children who were still lying, he traded for food. There Uduk rice, fried bananas, bakwan, and others.

In June 2002, God again gave a trial that might be the climax of the previous trials.

On June 5, 2002, God called Nisa to leave the world for ever. Khairiyah cry. Large family was grieving. They take care and take Nisa gone for good.

For some reason, almost none Khairiyah relatives who wanted to return to their homes. They seemed to want to accompany Khairiyah for other things they do not know.

Sure enough, two days after the death of Nisa, Nida was followed. In fact, tents and benches for relatives who came in Nisa's death had not yet made up.

This is the culmination of God exam Khairiyah experienced since her marriage.

One by one, people who previously did not exist in his life, gone forever. People who once loved. And eventually became the people who should he lupai.

If only the tears that he merely showed, the value of his love for the people who once had no value with him like anything.

There is only one attitude that he wanted to show that everything can be valuable. Namely, patience. "God willing, all of it into my savings for a ticket to heaven."

Ants and Success

One of the biggest lessons that can be witnessed in the success of the ant world. This is not an exaggeration, because the ants always repeat his efforts many times to arrive at its destination. Ants hanging on the tree and then fell again and then repeats his attempt to rise and fall again, and so on until he managed to climb into the tree and get what she wants without feeling bored and tired. If the road is closed to achieve its goals, an ant trying to divert its course to the right and left. If his attempt to ride was difficult, he went down briefly and then returned to ride with the struggle of a more vigorous than ever. Sometimes he's away from the course the first hurdle as it gets. However, he remained focused on the initial purpose to be achieved. Ants have a remarkable strength in its efforts to achieve the desired objectives without despair. Therefore, ants can dijadiklan example.

In fact in the lives of ants, there is a lesson for those who want to think, that is the lesson of perseverance, patience, diligence, perseverance, and continuity. Moreover, ants have a variety of tactics that can not be expressed with words to achieve tujuanya. Someone who writes about the ant states, bahwasannya ants that gather food supplies are inadequate from summer to winter. Because he's not much out in the winter, he will keep food cold season and did not eat it unless in time, besides that, he was worried when he kept the seeds that will grow. Everything happens with the permission of Allah who created him, then gave instructions to solve the seeds from the middle so as not to grow. If its way is blocked by disruption of water that can not be crossed, he makes the formation of a bridge over the water with her friends. Namely, each ant trying to associate themselves with the other in the path of water such as bridges. If all the ants had passed the bridge, the ants gradually withdraw to the end of the bridge. Holy God who has given shape to the events that created everything and then gave him his instructions!

If an ant finds a piece of meat or grasshoppers legs but can not carry or pull it, then he went to meet his brothers at home. Then he invites them to bring things together with its findings. Toughness and strength of ants that know no despair it contains a lesson for people who want success. If you put a stone on the path traversed by the ants, he would not return to the back, but wait or try to climb the rock or divert its course to the right or left, or choose the other road leading to the same direction without having to go back.

Chocolate From the Sky

My father had been active since high school preaching. He attended high school in a favorite in South Jakarta. Although still a student, my father had become Murabbi (read: teacher to teach) for my friends and younger class.

There is an interesting story that my father had experienced in 1989. While sitting in third grade my father and activist propaganda in the school holidays new year filled with lightning conducting boarding school for younger kids class. The event was held at a villa in Puncak. Besides being my father committee also one of the conveyor material.

The event was held for three days. After the show was over, one of my father's seniors who have studied at a state university located in southern Jakarta, took my father to the survey where faculty to Tafakkur Cibodas Nature, the foothills of Mount Gede.

With the understanding that the survey work also is part of the missionary work which has a high reward value in the eyes of God Almighty., My father agreed. So, my father left for the older class. Wanting to share the goodness, my father also took a friend in high school contemporaries.

In Islam, if in the course of more than one person should be appointed one of the amir Safar (trip leader). With older reasons, all agreed to lift my father's brother's class that students become Amir Safar.

Safar Amir and his friend invited him to collect money they have to finance the trip. So terkumpullah some money from their pockets. It was just enough to pay angkot to Pertigaan Cibodas, breakfast porridge for three, and the bus fare back to Jakarta. There is no fee to ride motorcycles or angkot to and returning from the natural tourist sites to the main road in the Cianjur-Peak Junction Cibodas, let alone to buy lunch.

In consideration there is no time to survey at a later time while the show was mepet date, and location of lightning boarding school not too far from Cibodas, three of them encouraging to keep doing the survey. They remember the verse from the Koran which reads intanshurullaha yanshurkum, if you help Allah, Allah will help you.

All three of them planned in the morning after a quick boarding school after going up to the Pertigaan angkot Cibodas. There they had breakfast porridge. Recall them at a junction Cibodas anyone selling porridge. After that they'll walk to the location of the natural park Cibodas.

Unfortunately, she reached the pulp builders Cibodas Pertigaan they imagined was not selling. Finally, on an empty stomach and keep the chill morning air, they move the legs toward the natural park Cibodas. Pretty much and a little hiking trip.

Water drip from the sky. Small drizzle. Gust of wind cold mountain adding grains of water that hit the three bodies natural reflection survey team who have not had breakfast that morning. Arriving in the area of natural park Cibodas parking lot next to a small market where locals sell souvenirs. Results earth citizens are also sold at the top there. There was corn, avocado, carrots, salak, and vegetables.

After breakfast it was unusual, they plan to take the natural reflective base camp in the campsite area in natural tourism area Cibodas then there will be a trip to the foothills of Mount Gede towards the Blue Lake and ends at Cibeureum Waterfall.

It's just that this impromptu survey team had a problem. They do not have the money to buy a ticket into the area of nature tourism Cibodas. They thought how could to the foot of Mount Gede without having to go through the gate. Finally they agreed to take the path around the fence gate Cibodas natural park to the edge of the village and the forest breaking. Their way through the bush, following the former stream, climbed the cliffs, looking for the usual path to rock climbers track toward Mount Gede.

With difficulty and clothes soaked soil mix (understand, they do not pake jacket. Kan was desperate journey without any preparation), they finally reached the path that the track climbing to Mount Gede. It was late Dhuhr. They agreed to continue the journey and arrived at the target waterfall Cibeureum before Asr.

While saying Allahu Akbar dhikr in every step of their climb, my father and two colleagues hoped to get extra power. Understandably, their energy only from the burning of a few grains still barking. Ashar they arrived at the waterfall Cibeureum. There, they rushed to his ablutions and prayers Dhuhr and dijamak qashar ashar dita'khir time.

After that they were resting. Apparently the day not many people there. There are only three of them and the youth group of three men and two women. Their faces clearly showed that they are ethnic Chinese. The five men enjoyed the waterfall scenery chewing on a chocolate wafer. My father said to her friends, "Emang cold delicious way to eat chocolate. Brown a lot of calories. "The two friends could only smile. Understandably, they also have belly hummed rhythmically keroncong behavior hungry. Still have not eaten lunch.

Soon the Chinese ethnic group that went to fall back to Cibodas. My father and his two friends were still survive in the waterfall Cibeureum few moments to gather strength.

When the sky becomes more dim, the mist began to fall, the cold piercing their bodies without a jacket, my father and his two friends decided to go down. Home.

They again susuri gravel road track to the gate Cibodas. Not long ago they moved, my father suddenly saw three chocolate bars lay on the stone. Whose? They recall no more people than they were after the group of young ethnic Chinese. Is chocolate cashews dusted it belongs to those who fell? Recall my father, the group ate chocolate wafers instead of chocolate cashews berkacang. Is this chocolate from the sky? Recall my father, he does not pray to God asking for chocolate. He was only a joke to her friends who are starving Subhanallah!

My father and his two friends assume good faith to God. This must be sent by God to brown them. They also ate chocolate in the hope of getting the energy to fight the cold and effort on the road down to the Pertigaan Cibodas.

Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah! Dhikr Lafadz spoken by my father and his two friends in each of their feet on the path to decline. This time saying Subhan Allah really have a meaning. Glory to God. God really exists! He helps those who struggle to help his religion. Is not the purpose survey my father and two of his friends in order to prepare the mission?

Long story short they got to Pertigaan Cibodas. The sky was dark. Maghrib had passed. Rain. In light into their dark, waiting for a bus from the direction that led to the Peak Cianjur to bring them back to Jakarta. But, the day new year holiday. Inter-city bus no passing. All inter-city bus from the downtown Jakarta to be diverted from Cianjur-Sukabumi Toll Ciawi Jagorawi directly. So, it was impossible my father and his two friends got a bus.

They were down the road toward toward the summit, once again held up his hand to the private car to ask berplat B ride to downtown Jakarta. Unfortunately, no cars would stop. In a place where they stay. At that time my dad broke the silence of his friends are busy expel cold from the body-rub them with rubbing his hands and face. My father joked, "You bet yes if the conditions are like this we suddenly there was a father admonished us, 'Brother, going?" We said,' Go to Jakarta, sir. "Dad said, 'No buses, little brother. Already, Nginep the villa you have. Tomorrow a new home to jakartanya. ' "

Subhanallah! Not long ago my father joked, suddenly appeared a young man, several years older than the three of them. The young man asked, "Where are you going?" My father replied, "Go home to Jakarta." The young man said, "There is no bus. You better just stay in the villa my brother. Tomorrow morning the new home to Jakarta. "

Glory to God! He was so close to his servants, who struggled in his path, though the struggle was only surveyed for an event reflective of nature. My father and his two friends that night to spend the night in the villa. They got a copy clothes, food nights, and warm blankets. Subhanallah, Glory to God! Aid that they can not from the hands of Muslims, but by a young Christian. That God's help, can come from the direction of the unexpected. Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah! (haidar)

In general, we do not like to relate to the prisoners, but he would provide enlightenment and guidance to prisoners, and the hope that one day may be free after more useful in society. That is interesting not only to provide guidance, but will directly help the former prisoners who have been free, that is channeled to the various world of work.

Surely it is not easy to do this, because of time required and the cost and thought and energy is strong. Not seldom from the prisoners and a rough criticaster to Irfan, especially the prisoners who are subject to the attendance. Until I write this story, Irfan still continue to run operations with a variety of threats that he received.

That's interesting this story is that there is still a high-minded people help each other, but people who were thus felt disturbed. In fact that Irfan do is to save them from the mortification of others. We hope that the struggle Irfan akan given the ease and support from various parties.

Youth Success of paralysis

When we hear or see the young people who have a disability, the second legs paralyzed, what will we think about this young man. Surely most of us feel compassionate with the youth. What we rather think that a paralyzed young man is a source for our inspiration. Next I will tell my friends about that paralyzed both legs, but can be extraordinary success. Even I learned a lot from him.

Introducing me with him (a name Nanang) began when we sat in the lecture 11 years ago. At the beginning of our introduction, there is no special case is shown in the figure Nanang. Can even say he is just a normal young man who, without the advantages and privileges, which tend to be taciturn youth. Five years with us, until I finally graduated. While Nanang graduated a year later. In travel after graduating college a lot of changes that occurred to us both.

On a when, Nanang had experienced the not so expected in his life. When wander in Jakarta with the aim of changing fate, it turns out beliah experiencing economic difficulties, which makes him almost desperate. In order to get a mouthful of rice, he struggled to spread the brochure which contains a quote, the offer website creation services. But that happens at the time he spread the brochure are deemed to be beggar. Not from people who rarely intend to contribute to it. With the firm he refused, because you want a brochure he is it read by many people.

Time running, the hard work and effort produce results. Business path that he began to wrestle with the show results. Time running, the hard work and effort produce results. Business path that he began to wrestle with the show results. Currently he has about 60 employees who help her, with a turnover of extremes.

From this story is not the most important results that he got, but we as normal human beings, if we want to strive and struggle, we will certainly be able to get what he can earn even more. Therefore, do not easily surrender to the situation, as long as there is still time do not let us stop work. Use the time with as closely as possible, so that our lives more helpful and useful.

The will to believe God

This story was from a small village in Bengkulu, where at this place, most of the population are farmers. One child wanted to alter fate, he does not want to be farmers like their parents. In order to achieve the dream he went to Yogyakarta to study. Along with the travel time, he can complete the course with less satisfactory results. Because the value of the hand to mouth so he get a job. Until finally it can work in a state-owned (BUMN). Following the story of his life journey.

August 1998 the youth began studying at a university in Yogyakarta, with the department of Informatics Engineering. First years cost of college is still smooth, but at the end of the semester cost of college is often too late sent by their parents. To meet the needs of the cost of studying the child, parents are always looking for loans to relatives and neighbors. Until a neighbor said that when a course is, that many graduates are unemployed. Because of the strong desire of children to go, he told her parents, if that many graduates are unemployed, what if we are not scholars, certainly will be more difficult to find a job.

October 2003 the young university graduate with a less than satisfactory results, that is only getting GPA 2.14. Truly feel the difficulty to get a job with a value like this. Moreover, without the relationship with. Any effort to get the job done, does not even have the money because he often slept in the front of the mosque and shops, which is always cold at night arrived. In order to meet the needs of life, he works for what the work is lawful. Including selling drinks and food at the Railway.

Short stories in the middle of business, the young people complain to God, to work for the glory given their parents. God listens to prayer and the youth, until at the end of May 2005 the young people get a job at a state-owned enterprise that is in the city of Tangerang.

The core of this story is that anything that we are bad, not bad for God. Who we are and the good, not good for God. So whatever and however way we live, always ask for guidance to God, so that we can live happy in the world and good in the Hereafter.
