A Wish of a Student

I want the justice from my beloved school. As we know that majority of the students in SMK 1 Batang come from the poor family. We have decided to give all of the best that we can do for the school, however; including paying the school fee regularly. But, we think we haven’t got all of the facilities in this school yet; for example, we never have one of the facilities we want to have. Browsing internet is our dream that need to be realized. Up to now, we have not had it yet. It’s just promise which never comes true. Similarly, we can see that 50 percents of the classrooms get broken. Again, I think there is no same justice for all of the students. We can see that TKJ group gets more special attentions. The classroom of this majoring is more beautiful and comfortable than the other classrooms. We also need the best teaching from our teachers. In fact, they often forget to leave any assignments when they don’t attend the class because of any reasons. We hope we get the justice; and it’s our best wish.

Why Don’t We Study English

By Nasiyati, X AK 2

From my point of view, English is the most important language. Why do I say that? I said that because English is an international language. It’s spoken by many people all over the world either as a first or second language. So I think that learning English in this modern era is crucial especially for Indonesia teenagers. There are some reasons for this. Firstly, learning English can enhance our language which is needed to dominate technologies; especially latest technology. We are lucky if we have knowledge about important issues; like language is a big power to greet the global era which full of competitions. Secondly, learning English can advance our country. If the teenagers know English, of course, the quality of human resources in Indonesia will increase. Their English ability is needed for the economic and political development in Indonesia. Moreover learning English can help us to get job easily. In my opinion, English is a top requirement of seeking job. The applicants who master on English either in written or spoken are preferable in the world of work. So it’s important to learn English for the better future. Although learning a new language is not easy, as Indonesia teenagers we should never give up to always study English. In order to be fluent in English, we need many practices with people around us as often as possible. The key to success in speaking English is confidence. The more you speak you will become more confident. Just concentrate on speaking without worrying about making grammatical mistakes. The more you practice the better you will be. From the facts above, we can conclude that everybody needs to learn English. Let’s study English and reach your nice future. Good luck with your English.

Psychologically, a man getting in trance, having mental disorders must have any personal-hidden unsolved problems. Hence, this instable person will do anything irrational, illogical , weird, or strange such as; jumping over five meters high fence, or walking in the fire. A Phenomenon which is actually normal, rational, and logical for human. Every single man can does it if he regularly train that potency.

Savior’s Shutters in Islam

Shutters, curtain or veil are terms which refer to a media for covering, shutting; i.e. clothing, stone, wood, or anything can block the eye sight. In Al Qur’an, having shutters means to cover or shut with such media mentioned. A shutter or cover (jilbab and purdah) is used to cover anything forbidden to see; which is considered private; not publicly viewed; for example, woman’s body and face are private parts for “other men or boys” (in Islam ajnabi . One thousand five hundreds years ago, when the command of having shutters for women was issued, all faithful women who didn’t cover their face or their whole body ran as fast as she could to get shelters; hiding behind the tree, the rocks or even cutting their windows curtains into pieces to cover their faces. Shutters or covers (wall, curtain)in Islam are also used to make mother and father’s private activities become more private and secret. So that, the children could not whatever their parents do during the night and taking nap times. In Islam, it’s considered polite to make a groups based on the activity. There will be a group which is learning Al Qur’an dan Hadith, one which is performing shalat and dzikr or a group which is preparing journey for any religious affairs. Those groups must have shutters or cover each others. Hence, it’s rude to shout or call somebody who is in a group from outside or other groups. Similarly, it’s impolite to talk or have a chat with our friends in a group while a discussion or lectures is in sessions. Shutters or coves are also used to cover ourselves from others while having personal needs, such as pass urinate. Being naked or open for any private activities we are doing bring us to very low level, or even lower than the animal rank. What makes the human different from the animal? Eating, drinking, sleeping, having sex? Actually, the human will be different from the animal if she or he uses his or her intellectual and feeling to be more civilized; creating good norms and etiquette. So that, there will be etiquette of eating, sleeping etc. But, all depends on you. Being civilized human or barbarous animal is your choice.

What Makes Da'wah Different from Ta'lim

By karkun1976 6:30 PM No comments

If You don'nt know Ask to Whom Knows

Da'wah is like the rain; it will drop every where without any exception. On the top of hill, mountain, on the ocean, the rain will fall. Similarly, da'wah will come to everyone; both ignorant villagers and educated scholars, both the young and the old, to whom are willing or refusing, to women and man, even to the bad and good guys.

While ta'lim must be given or delivered to people who like and want. Delivering to people who do not want is like giving a beautiful flower to a monkey.

So that,it was my reason why I was not willing to deliver any religious speech on the weekly/month held by OSIS SMK 1 Batang 4 weeks ago. I think the audience do not wish me at that occassion since they chose me because the other speakers had no time at that morning. Moreover, I got headache, athma, bone ache and flu
