First thing first

• Tauhid adalah hal terpenting dalam hidup; Ialah yang menentukan kebahagian kita di dunia dan akhirat.

• “And what is a man other than a comet which flashes brilliant light only then be reduced to ashes.” (Syaikh Murattib Al-Hajj).

First thing first (Cont’d)

“Barangsiapa yang mengerjakan amal saleh, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan dalam keadaan beriman, maka sesungguhnya akan Kami berikan kepadanya kehidupan yang baik dan sesungguhnya akan Kami beri balasan kepada mereka dengan pahala yang lebih baik dari apa yang telah mereka kerjakan.” (QS An-Nahl:97).

First thing first (Cont’d)

“Dan barangsiapa berpaling dari peringatan-Ku, maka sesungguhnya baginya penghidupan yang sempit, dan Kami akan menghimpunkannya pada hari kiamat dalam keadaan buta” (QS Taha:124).

"But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Quran nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection."

First thing first (Cont’d)

“Berkatalah Rasul: "Ya Tuhanku, sesungguhnya kaumku menjadikan Al Quran itu sesuatu yang tidak diacuhkan.”

“And the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Quran (neither listened to it, nor acted on its laws and orders).”

Menjadi Muslim yang Berprestasi

• Peradaban Islam paling maju pada Abad 8-13 M, e.g. Kota Badgad: dua juta jiwa, Byzantium hanya 600rb; Cordoba: 600rb, Paris 30rb.

• Polymath Islam: Al Khawarizmi: Matematika, Astronomi, Geografi; Al Kindi: Filsafat, Matematika, Kedokteran, Fisika, Optik, Metalurgi; Ibnu Sina: Kedokteran, Matematika, Astronomi, Filsafat; Ibn Rusyd: Ilmu filsafat, Hukum, Kedokteran, Astronomi, Teologi; Ibnu Khaldun: Ekonomi, sejarah.

Banyak yang menginginkan agar kita tidak berpegang pada ajaran agama kita.

Sangat banyak ‘failed state’ di dunia Islam our responsibility. The children in Syiria, Iraq, Rohingya, etc.

Jika kita tidak memiliki capability maka kita akan di-advice oleh orang yang tidak senang dengan Islam.

SDA dan urusan negara kita dikuasai oleh para koruptor dan dipengaruhi asing.

Dream High

• It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going (Brian Tracy).

Dream High (Cont’d)

• Pola pikir kita mempengaruhi pola hidup kita. • Watch your thought

Watch your thought, it becomes your words

Watch your word, it becomes you actions Watch you action, it becomes your character

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

Dream High (Cont’d)

• Know your talent Talk to yourself • The quality of your life is the quality of your

communication with yourself.

Katakanlah: "Tiap-tiap orang berbuat menurut keadaannya masing-masing". Maka Tuhanmu lebih mengetahui siapa yang lebih benar jalannya (QS Al-Isra’:84).

Life Plan

• If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.

Making It a Reality

• Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (Thomas Edison).

• Champions aren’t made in a gym; Champions are made from something they have deep inside them, a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last minute stamina. They have to be a little faster. They have to have the skill and the will, but the WILL must be STRONGER than the SKILLS (Muhammad Ali).

Making It a Reality (Cont’d)

• Instill a good western habit: – Read, read, and read. – Critical thinking.

Whatever happens is good

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude is more important than facts … We cannot change our past …

We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me And 90% how I react to it

(Charles Swindoll)
