Apakah Dengan Rajin Solat Dijamin Masuk Syurga???

                 

Apakah Semua Orang  Yang Rajin Solat Dijamin Masuk Syurga? Itu pertanyaan yang pernah saya dapatkan dari seorang teman yang saya kenal di facebook setelah saya mengup-date status baru yang isinya yaitu:

 “Kesempurnaan yang paling sempurna

“Kesempurnaan yang paling sempurna adalah tafakkuh (mendalami) agama, sabar menghadapi musibah dan ekonomis dalam mengeluarkan biaya hidup”

dari Imam Baqir a.s.”

                Sebelumnya dia bertanya sebenarnya “Apakah dan seperti apakah kesempurnaan dan kebahagiaan hidup tertinggi yang manusia cari? Saya menjawab bahwa kebahagiaan yang tertinggi dan Haqiqi adalah Syurga. Gambaran dari Syurga adalah Kebahagiaan kita di dunia ini hanyalah setitik debu dari kebahagiaan yang Allah janjikan kelak di Syurga. Kemudian Ia Bertanya lagi “Apakah solat dapat menjamin kita masuk Syurga?” Dengan kemampuan minim yang saya miliki kemidian saya membuat artikel sederhana mengenai analogi hubungan antara solat dan Syurga yang Allah janjikan:

                 Memang tidak selamanya orang yang solatnya rajin dan rutin di jamin akan masuk ke dalam syurga ataupun sebaliknya. Hal tersebut dapat kita analogi saja seperti orang yang sedang menuntut ilmu sampai jenjang yang tinggi (kuliah misalnya),, Ia mencari ilmu dengan maksut tidak lain dan tidak bukan untk menghilangkn kebodohan agar memperoleh penghidupan yang layak, contohnya dengan mendapatkan pekerjaan dan penghasilan yang melimpah demi tercapainya kebahagiaan. Namun, hal tersebut tidak selamanya akan berjalan mulus. Banyak sekali faktor-faktor penghambat dan yang mempengaruhi pencapaian kesuksesesannya. Contohnya seperti kemampuan berkomunikasi, menjalin relasi, kreatifitas, kemampuan memanfaatkn peluang, dsb. Akan tetapi pada dasarnya melalui pendidikn kita telah diberikn banyak sekali jalan menuju kesuksesan yang kita impikan. Contoh dengan memperbanyak relasi melalui teman-teman blajar, mengasah kemampuan berfikir kita dlm menghadapi brbagai prsoalan, mempertajam kreatifitas, dsb. Tinggl kita yang harus pandai-pandai mmanfaatkn peluang tersebut. Begitu juga dengan solat, memang tidak selamanya orang yang rajin melaksanakan solat dijamin masuk syurga, hal tersebut masih dipengaruhi faktor-faktor lain baik interen maupun eksteren. Faktor-faktor tersebut bisa memperbanyak amal kita dan mnambah pluang masuk syurga atau bahkan sebaliknya malah mengurangi atau bahkn menghapus pahala dari solat kita. Contoh faktor2-faktor tersebut diantarax senang bergunjing, senang memfitnah, senang berbohong, senag mencuri,  korupsi, dan msih banyak lagi yang lainnya. Memang ada ayat Al-Qur’an yang menjelaskan solat dapat menceganh kemungkaran. Namun tidak sembarangan solat yang bisa mencegah kemungkaran. Solat yang dapat mencegah hal-hal yang bersifat mungkar adalah solat yg benar-benar khusy’, iklas, dan hanya karena Allah. Sementara khusyu’ atau tidaknya solat kita hanya kita sendiri dan Allah yang tahu. Orang lain mungkin bisa melihat bahwa kita rajin solat, namun belum tentu kalau solat kita tersebut bnar-benar hanya karena Allah. Jadi orang yg rajin solat dan juga gemar berbuat maksiat masih perlu dipertanyakan solatnya. Selanjutnya, ada sebuah ayat Al-Qur’an yang menjelaskan bahwasannya solat itu adlah tiang agama. Dari ayat ini dapat kita ambil kesimpulan bahwa jika ada seseorang yang tidak melaksanakan solat, semua amal ibadah lain yang ia lakukan tidak akan diterima oleh Allah. Ya kalau dianalogi solat bagaikan sebuah tiket masuk agar bisa mengikuti sebuah perlombaan. Jikalau kita saja tidak mempunyai tiket dan kita tidak mengikuti perlombaan tersebut bagaimana kita bisa menang? Spertinya mustahil bisa menang, karena orang yang telah memiliki tiket dan ikut bertanding saja blm tentu kalau dia bisa menang. Apalagi yang tidak ikut lomba. Jadi sepertinya tidak mungkin klau orang yang tidak melaksanakan solat bisa masuk syurga. Kalau ada orang tersebut mungkin amat sangat spesial dan bisa diperumpamakan (1 Triliun : 2) dan kalau orang yg melaksanakan solat (100 : 10) jadi peluangnya amat sangat lebih besar orang masuk syurga dengan melaksanakan solat dari pada orang yang masuk syurga tanpa melaksanakan solat.

Special Day

Special Day

Hari ini adalah hari yang sangat spesial bagi kami

Hari dimana berakhirnya masa pencarian dan perkelanaan cinta kami

Sebuah hari yang membawa kami berdua untuk hidup dalam suatu ikatan

Sebuah ikatan untuk menyatukan 2 hati yang berbeda

Di sini kami berkumpul bersama keluarga, karabat, teman, dan orang-orang yang berarti dalam hidup kami untuk merayakan ikrar ini

Sebuah ikrar kesetiaan, cinta, kasih sayang, dan saling menghormati untuk selamanya 

Di tempat ini pula kami panjatkan do’a kepada Allah SWT agar selalu menjaga cinta dan kasih sayang kami untuk selamanya

Mulai sekarang kami berjanji akan saling berbagi dalam segala hal, baik itu susah maupun senang

Berbagi dalam keceriaan, canda, tawa dan saling mengingatkan ketika diantara kita ada yang terlena dalam kenikmatan sesaat

Saling mendukung dan memberikan semangat / motivasi ketika diantara kita ada yang sedang dilanda kesulitan

Yang terpenting dari ikatan ini yaitu bersama-sama mencari ridho Allah SWT dalam rangka mencapai kebahagiaan dunia-akhirat

Sebab Allah-lah yang akan selalu memberikan kanikmatan dan mengatur segala hal dalam keluarga kita.

Mulai dari memberi rizki, rumah, dan anak-anak yang kelak akan membuat rumah kita penuh dengan canda-tawa.

Dalam hari yang penuh dengan kegembiraan ini, marilah kita  mengangkat tangan dan menyatukan suara untuk bersama-sama berdo’a dan memuji kebesaran Allah SWT sesuai dengan ajaran nabi kita Muhammad SAW : 

“Barakallahu lakuma wa baraka alaikumaa wa jaama'a bainakuma fii khaiiir”

“Allah bariklawhuma, Allah Hadhum hubbahuma, Allah Solli wasallim A'la rasulillah, Allah tub'alaina, Allah irdha anna, Allah ihdhi khuthoona A'la sunnah nabiina”

Cause - Effect and Comparison / Contrast Patterns

INTRODUCTION

At previous meeting, we discussed about the listing and the time orders, which are both included in the pattern of organization. And in this paper, we will discuss the kinds of pattern of Organization of the third and fourth, there are patterns of comparison / contrast and cause / effect.

      1. Comparison

Comparison is a rhetorical strategy and method of organization in which a writer examines similarities and/or differences between two people, places, ideas, or things. The material is organized to emphasize the similarities and/or differences between two or more items or topics. This pattern is used when the writer wants to explain similarities or differences between two things.

1.                  In a comparison, the writer may explain similarities OR similarities and differences.

2.                  In a contrast, the writer explains only differences.

A comparison can include both similarities and differences, or only the similarities. A contrast states only differences.

     2. Cause and Effect

Causes and effects are part of our daily lives. Therefore, this pattern is used often by writers of history books, science texts, and novels. It is important to recognize the cause/effect pattern when you read, but it is sometimes more complicated than some of the other patterns. This pattern describes or discusses an event or action that is caused by another event or action. On occasion, this pattern is also referred to as result.

BODY

2.1 COMPARE-CONTRAST PATTERNS

A compare and contrast pattern arranges information according to how two or more things are similar to or different from one another (or both). This is an effective pattern to use when the reader can better understand one subject when it is described in relation to another. If the reader is familiar with one topic, the writer can compare or contrast it with another topic to shed insight on it.

For example, suppose a writer's stated purpose is to help the reader make an informed decision about whether to attend a two-year college or a four-year university. One way to arrange the information is to compare and contrast the two educational options along several important dimensions, such as cost, quality of education, and variety of educational programs. In this case, the number of main sections in the outline would depend on how many dimensions or factors were considered (three in the case below). Another way to arrange the information would be to create two main sections, one that describes similarities and one that describes differences.

This pattern is used when the writer wants to explain similarities or differences between two things.

4.                  In a comparison, the writer may explain similarities OR similarities and differences.

5.                  In a contrast, the writer explains only differences.

In the comparison/contrast pattern, the writer's main idea is a general statement about two things and how they are similar and/or different. A comparison can include both similarities and differences, or only the similarities. A contrast states only differences.

• Key words/phrases in the main idea: similarities, differences, both, in common, same, different, compare, comparison

• Signal words/phrases for similarities: similarly, also, in the same way, as, like, both, in common.

•

Contrast is a rhetorical strategy and method of organization in which a writer examines only differences between two people, places, ideas, or things

1.                  Signal words/phrases for differences: however, but, on the other hand, although, while, in contrast, than, conversely, yet, unlike.

2.2 THE EXAMPLES OF COMPARISON AND CONTRAST

EXAMPLE :

       My two children are so different that it surprises me every day. For one thing, my older child is a girl, and my younger child is a boy. My daughter loves reading, going to the movies, and writing in her journal. My son, on theother hand, loves running, jumping, and swimming– anything that requires using energy. My daughter loves all different kinds of foods, but my son likes to eat only pizza. And whilemy son can’t go a day without watching some kind of sporting event on television, my daughter will only watch a baseball game if nothing else is on.

Adapted from O Magazine, (2001) “Set Yourself Free,” p37.

2.3 CAUSE-EFFECT PATTERNS

This pattern is used to show the different causes and effects of various conditions. This pattern is particularly effective when writing a persuasive document in which the writer advocates some action to solve a problem, because it demonstrates important relationships between variables. There are two major variations to this pattern; (a) dividing the outline into two major sections comprised of causes and effects; or (b) dividing the outline according to the different causes, with the effects of each cause contained within the larger "causes" section. See the examples below.

Suppose a writer's stated purpose is to explain the causes of conflict escalation and their effects. He/she could organize the information in one of the following two ways. Again, notice that either method could work equally well.

Cause and effect signal words :

1. because, for this reason, due to, cause, on account of, if this, then this…

2. as a result, since, consequently, therefore, thus, in effect, resulting, and the out come is...

            In this pattern, the writer's main idea is that one event or action caused another event or

action.

• Key words/phrases in the main idea and the signal words for details are the same and often include: causes, leads to, is the cause of, results in, creates, brings about, makes, provokes, produces, gives rise to, contributes to, is due to, is the result of, comes from, results from, is produced by, is a consequence of, follows, is caused by.

There are four possible cause-effect relationships:

1.                  single cause - single effect

2.                  single cause - multiple effects

3.                  multiple causes - single effect

4.                  multiple causes - multiple effects

2.4 THE EXAMPLES OF CAUSE-EFFECT

In 2003, two robotic rovers landed on Mars and began sending back data about the possible existence of water on the red planet. This close examination of Mars was the result of new and improved technology. Because of advances in telecommunication systems, scientists on Earth can send commands faster and receive data in greater amounts. New software in the rovers led to their increased ability to make independent decisions and avoid dangers and hazards on their own. As a result of new technologies for severe environments, the rovers and their interior computers were able to survive the extreme cold and hot conditions in space and on Mars. And due to their new improved wheels the twin rovers could move around the rocky Martian landscape with ease.

 

CONCLUSION

           

From the description above, we can conclude that:

1.                  Comparison and Contrast, more specifically, are :

1.      In a comparison, the writer may explain similarities OR similarities and differences.

2.      In a contrast, the writer explains only differences.

1.                  A comparison can include:

1.                  both similarities and differences

2.                  only the similarities

3.                  Contrast states only differences.

1.                  Cause-effect Pattern describes or discusses an event or action that is caused by another event or action. On occasion, this pattern is also referred to as result. In this pattern, the writer's main idea is that one event or action caused another event or action.

REVIEW STUDIUM GENERAL OLEH Prof. Dr. Hotmann Siahaan

REVIEW

STUDIUM GENERAL

OLEH Prof. Dr. Hotmann Siahaan

            Pada mulanya  fakultas ilmu sosial dan ilmu politik Universitas Airlangga merupakan pengembangan dari fakultas ilmu sosial dengan program study hanya satu yaitu Sosiologi. Dikarena peraturan Universitas pada waktu itu yang melarang berdirinya fakultas dengan hanya satu jurusan, maka fakultas ilmu sosial yang hanya berprogram study satu dirubah menjadi fakultas ilmu sosial dan ilmu politik dengan program study Sosiologi, Ilmu Politik, Psikologi, dan Sastra. Kemudian karena program study Psikologi dan Sastra sudah menjadi besar maka program study tersebut mendirikan fakultas sendiri yang sekarang disebut fakultas psikologi dan fakultas ilmu budaya.

            Dalam FISIP, Sosiologi merupakan program study pertama yang dilahirkan karena pada waktu itu ilmu sosiologi merupakan ilmu yang sangat penting yang di butuhkan untuk membangun negara indonesia yang baru saja bebas dari penjajah. Karena dengan ilmu sosiologi diharapkan mampu melahirkan bibit-bibit manusia unggul yang mampum befikir kritis dan tidak percya begitu saja dengan apa yang terjadi pada kenyataannya. Sebab dalam suatu kenyataan pasti dibelakangnya ada sesuatu yang mungkin lebih penting dan lebih berpengaruh terhadap kehidapan masyarakat. Masalah seperti itu dapat dipelajari dan dipecahkan dengan sosiologi sebab sosiologi merupakan ilmu revolusi yaitu ilmu yang mempersoalkan semua yang dianggap konflik/konsensus/menyimpang. Sehingga pada zaman penjajahan Belanda  ilmu sosiologi tidak boleh diajarkan kepada masyarakat Indonesia dengan alasan pemerintah belanda takut masyarakat Indonesia akan mempersoalkan segala kebijakan pemerintah Belanda dan akan menentang pemerintah Belanda.

            Secara umum sosiologi merupakan ilmu yang mempelajari hubungan antara individu dengan individu, individu dengankelompok, dan kelompok dengan kelompok. Dasar ilmu yang dipelajari dalam sosiologi yaitu mengenai stuktur dan kultur masyarakat. Struktur berhubungan dengan tingkat/darajat/pangkat sosial masyarakat seperti contohnya stuktur sosial masyarat desa yaitu ada kepala desa, kamituwo, carik, modin, ketua RW, ketua RT, dan sebagainya. Kemudian kultur berhungan dengan kabudayaan yang dianut oleh masyarakan. Seperti contahnya budaya mudik yang sepertinya telah menjadi budaya wajib yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat indonesia dan mereka telah menganggap hal ini sebagai suatu hal yang sangat penting dan harus dilakukan walaupun harus berkorban mati-matian untuk melakukan budaya tersebut.

            Sosiologi merupakan ilmu yang dibutuhkan di mana saja dan tidak ada kondisi yang tidak dapat dipelajari oleh sosiologi selama masih ada manusia di dunia ini. Maka dari itu ilmu sosiologi merupakan ilmu yang sangat penting untuk memecahkan persoalan-persoalan sosial yang semakin kompleks terjadi pada seluruh lapisan masyarakat. Sebat dengan berkembangnya peradaban karena berkembang pesatnya IPTEK masalah sosial yang perlu diadapi tidak semakin rinagan/berkurang melainkan akan semakin berkembang pula dengan masalah yang semakin rumit. Maka dari itu sosiologi merupakan ilmu yang bersifat statis/fleksibel yang dapat menerima perubahan sosial dara zaman ke zaman selama ada kehidupan manusia. Karena mau/tidak mau dengan semakin berkembangnya IPTEK maka semakin pesat pula perubahan sosial yang terjadi pada masyarakat.

            Karena sosiologi merupakan ilmu yang sangat penting yang dapat mempelajari masalah-masalah yang timbul dari adanya perubahan sosial masyarakat,  maka kita sebagai mahasiswa sosiologi UNAIR harus benar-benar serius mempelajari program study kita tersebut demi tercapainya target yaitu melahirkan manusia-manusia unggul yang dapat merubah bangsa Indonesia ini menjadi bangsa yang damai, aman, tentram, dan sejahtera serta sesuai dengan cita-cita para pendiri bangsa kita terdahulu yaitu yang sesuai dengan Pancasila, NKRI, Bhineka Tunggal Ika, dan UUD 1945. Selin itu sebagai jurusan tertua di FISIP, kita harus menjadi mahaiswa terbaik dengan pengetahuan yang tinggi dan terutama mendapatkan IP tertinggi di bandingkan program study lainnya. Amiin...
