One More,, about LOVE

Again,, about love, about feeling, about a longing. A pure love. And I will never stop to write this theme. This will bring you and me become more mature to understand what ALLAH's want to us as servant. A proverb say like this "Beside a Great Man there is Great Women. They're a woman, a great woman. As ALLAH said from the Qur'an :

" Veryly,the muslims (those who submit to ALLAH in Islam) men and women, the believers men and women (who believe in Islamic Monotheism), the men and the women who are obedient (to ALLAH), the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and deeds), the men and women who are patient ( in performing all the duties which ALLAH has ordered and in abstaining from all that ALLAH forbidden), the men and women who are humble (before their Lord - ALLAH), the men and women who give Sadaqat (i.e Zakat and alms), the men and women who observe Saum (Fast) ( the obligatory fasting during the month of Ramadhan , and the optional Nawafil Fasting), the men and women who guard their chastity from illegal sexual acts), and the men and women who remember ALLAH much with their hearts and tongues, ALLAH has prepared fot them forgiveness and great reward (paradise)
(QS Al Ahzab:35)

Subhanallah.. So,,my self don't you worry, a great reward in hand from ALLAH as long as ..................
In past decade, we can see the founding fathers. They're so stong phisically and mentally. Because they had a great support from their families. Their wife include the children. Togetherness between husband and wife who love each other,strengthen each other when ones was far. Some of our founding father was Muhammad Natsir. He was't only hero for us but also for his family. He was a da'i, an islamic fighter. I had read a romantic letter written by him for his beloved wife. Really much Inspiration we can learn. A great power and reflect a purity of the soul. Take a look ( i write in Bahasa version, in order not to change the meaning ^_^...)

" Pendis ( Sekolah pendidikan Islam yang didirikan M. Natsir) seringkali menghadapi kesulitan-kesulitan pahit. Ummie ada mempunyai satu gelang emas (bukan pembelian aba, sudah dipunyai ummie sebelum ummie berjuang bersama-sama dalam pendis. Aba, sampai saat ini belum pernah dapat membelikan sepotong barang perhiasan untuk ummie). Maka gelang emas ummie yang satu itu mempunyai riwayat. Kalau pendis dalam kesulitan maka gelang ummie berpindah tempat dari tangan ummie ke lemari pak Gade (pegadaian). kalau agak senggang sedikit ditebus kembali..."

Masya ALLAH.. Heroic, romantic, sincere..Full of love and sacrifice. I became speecless :)

Thus, Rasulullah SAW also had an honest expression about his truly love Khadijah,Ra.

" She was faithful to me when all the people denied,approved when all the people denounced as a lie, gave all her wealth when all the people rejected. ALLAH gave children from her when the other women didn't" (HR. Ahmad)

Down, the other love letter from Natsir to his wife. Again..give us more spirit and a longing to become like him. A letter which written on July 17, 1958 for Nur Nahar, his wife.

" Ummie, Lies, Ida, Has, Abi, Auzie. Hari ini tanggal 17 Juli 1958. Jadi Aba sudah genap bermur 50 tahun. Oleh karena pada hari ulang tahun ini Aba kebetulan dalam tourne dan tidak dapat duduk bersama-sama di rumah bersama-sama ummie dan anak-anak Aba semuanya.Anak-anak yang tercinta,Tak dapat Aba melukiskan bagaimana besarnya rasa syukur Aba kepada Allah Swt. Dan rasa terimakasih Aba kepada Ummie atas kebahagiaan hidup yang Aba telah rasakan selama separoh umur Aba itu yang timbul dari kesatuan jiwa dari kami berdua..."

A letter, written with a simple words. But in every word contained a special soul. He is Muhammad Natsir,his romance of life with a great family.

Not different from Natsir, the other fighter also had a same letter. Love letter, for his beloved wife. This letter written by KH. Agus Salim, the Grand Old Man, to Zaitun Nahar, his beloved wife. Written on June 17, 1947 when He was in Egypt

" Maatje sayang..!
Surat pendek ini hendak saya tumpangkan kepada Abdurrachman Baswedan yang besok pagi terbang pulang ke Indonesia, mudah-mudahan selamat dan cepat sampainya.Sangat sibuk kami bekerja disini...Awak hidup senang, serba cukup, di rumah entah bagaimana hidup anak dan bini. Rindu hati tidak dapat dikatakan di negeri orang ini. Rindu kanda lebih-lebih terasa, sebab tak ada membawa potret satu pun jua dari rumah. Kalau memikirkan Mansur Ciddiq sedih hati kanda, karena anak itu tak ada kawan dan barangkali berkecil hati kepada papanya yang datang-datang hilang.Lebih-lebih yang membimbangkan hati kanda dan kawan-kawan di sini, dari pemerintah Republik dari kementrian luar negeri, bung Sjahrir sedikitpun tidak mendapat kabar, surat. Jika Bung Sjahrir ada di Jakarta, tolonglah adinda perlukan pergi menemuinya.

Kanda,
Agus Salim


Like that, the Grand Old Man reflected his love to his wife. As a spirit, Our prophet also said:

" However good you were the best who had an intimate relation ship with his wife. And I was the best man among you who had an intimate relation ship with my wifes (HR.Tirmidzi)

Again check also this one, really romantic letter from Bung Tomo to his wife, Suliestina. He wrote when he was still in Nirbaya Jail. He was 58 years old at that time. In that letter he wrote a a poem that praise a beauty of his wife. take a look ...

Ini Hari Kartini, Dik!

Terbayang wajahmu nan cantik

Penaku kini henti sedetik

Terlintas semua jasamu

Sejak kita bertemu

Other love letter ..

” Jeng Lies aku cinta padamu. nanti kalau perang sudah usai. Dan…Kita akan membuat Mahligai.”

“Tak terlalu tinggi cita-citaku. Impianku kita punya rumah di atas gunung. Jauuuh dari keramaian. Rumah yang sederhana seperti pondok. Hawanya bersih, sejuk & pemandangannya Indah. Kau tanam bunga-bunga dan kita menanam sayur sendiri. aku kumpulkan muda-mudi kudidik mereka menjadi patriot bangsa,”


Masya ALLAH..really completely crushed my heart. Very deep that love. A love like these can make jeouleos the fairy in paradise ^ ^

The stories from the wonderful person always give us a slice of learning. A longing expression ,a passionate expresively. Sometimes they were expressed that feeling after finished duty or they were took a while time in the duty time like KH Agus Salim or others. Feeling so far..Really far away from beloved but a longing bring the soul close.

Sometime that feeling-a longing- is rage in a life. Need a great management of a longing is one of the keypoint. I copied the words from Abdullah Bin Thahrir, a governor of Khurasan. He ever told to his children.

" Be in Love my children in order you can felt a beauty, and kept your honor in order you became highly regarded "

Such is the love letter from the the fighter.Not only a part of history. But also there is a power of love. And it is never diseappeared by time. Forever will be reminded.

Last but not least..a nice poem from Sapardi Djoko Damono..

Akulah si telaga
Akulah si telaga;berlayarlah di atasnya
Berlayarlah menyibakkan riak-riak kecil yang menggerakkan
Bunga-bunga padma;
Berlayarlah sambil memandang harumnya cahaya
sesampai di seberang sana; tinggalkanlah
begitu saja perahumu
biarkan aku menjaga


and.. Who is " Sang Telaga " who will ready to give and keep your love boat ????


Wallahu a'lam
