• Today’s topic might be quite morbid; but somehow I feel like I have to talk about this. Talking and constantly remember about death, however, are encouraged in Islam.

    Saya seorang muslimah; dan dalam Islam, topik kematian adalah topik yang cukup sering dibicarakan. Setahu saya, Nabi Muhammad SAW selalu mengingatkan umatnya agar senantiasa ingat akan kematian.

    Allah Almighty says, “Every self will taste death. You will be paid your wages in full on the Day of Rising. Anyone who is distanced from the Fire and admitted to the Garden, has triumphed. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of delusion,” (3:185)

    Kenapa?

    Supaya hidup lebih bermakna. Supaya bisa menghargai arti hidup dan apa nilai dan tujuan kita selama hidup. Kita mengingat kematian agar bisa hidup.

    Tapi gampang banget kita lupa. Saya, contohnya, sering sekali lupa. Dan dari lupa, menjadi sombong dan angkuh.

    Kemarin malam, saya sedang iseng browsing di aplikasi LINE Webtoon. App LINE Webtoon adalah app yang disediakan oleh LINE ke komikus untuk menerbitkan komik mereka secara online. Pembaca dapat membaca karya-karya yang dipublikasikan secara gratis.

    Kemarin malam, saya membaca ‘About Death‘. Dan, oh, rasanya seperti ditampar-tampar.

    Seperti apa kematian itu? Dan yang paling penting, seperti apa nantinya kita meninggal?

    “What kind of death do you have in mind?”

    Rasanya seperti ditampar.

    Selama ini saya nggak pernah mikir seperti itu.

    Dan sekarang rasanya saya seperti sudah menyia-nyiakan hidup dan waktu yang saya punya.

    By Time.

    Indeed man is in loss,

    Except those who have faith and do righteous deeds, and enjoin one another to [follow] the truth, and enjoin one another to patience. [QS. Al-Asr]

  • Some tweakings

    So I did some tweakings here and there on this WordPress Twenty Thirteen theme (I freaking hate titles on ‘Image’ post format). Pretty happy that I still managed to remember some CSS codes although it’s pretty rustic already.

    “… the other day i was in the studio with some new friends, and i asked them which one song they would send into space, to live on forever, if they had to.” — Lorde

    I’m not Lorde’s friend, obviously (although I really want to ?) but if I got that question, my answer would be ‘Hurt’ by Johnny Cash (yes, the song is Nine Inch Nail’s but Trent Reznor said that once Johnny Cash sang it, the song became Johnny’s yo)

  • I’ve been noticing some blogs that I frequently visit that they have update logs on it. Something like “added page XYZ on (date)”, and so on.

    My FOMO has been screaming for me to follow suit, hahah.
