Shalawat Tarhim dan Mengingat Rasulullah SAW

Sholawat Tarhim. Sering kita mendengar lantunan sholawat menjelang kumandang adzan subuh. Ya itulah sholawat Tarhim. Masih sering saya, dan mungkin juga pembaca sekalian, mendengar lantunannya dari musholla atau masjid di desa-desa. Syairnya sederhana dan mudah diikuti membuatnya familiar di telinga warga muslim Indonesia. Nah, mari sejenak kita ngobrol tentang Sholawat Terhim.

Adalah seorang Syaikh Mahmoud Khalil al-Husyairi yang telah berjasa menggubah sholawat ini. Beliau ini adalah ketua Jam’iyyatul Qurra’ di Kairo, Mesir. Beliau adalah qaari’ yang populer pada zamannya dan tinggi ilmunya. Sampai-sampai digelari Syaikhul Maqaari’ atau Begawannya Para Qaari’. Saya sendiri menelusuri tentang sholawat ini dan bio Syaikh Mahmoud dari Kiai Google. Sila dikritisi apabila memang ada yang patut dikritisi. Semoga ada hikmah pula dari tulisan saya ini. Intinya, mari berbagi ilmu. Saya tidak lebih pintar dari pembaca sekalian.  

Dalam sebuah majlis Cak Nun (Emha Ainun Najib) membedah secara singkat padat perihal ‘terdamparnya’ sholawat ini ke musholla wa masajid di tempat kita. Jadi, ceritanya Syaikh Mahmoud ini pernah berkunjung ke Indonesia pada sekitaran tahun 60’an. Konon katanya, sholawat ini ‘dibajak’ di studio Lokananta, Solo, dan pertama kali sampai ke telinga orang Indonesia melalui corong Radio Yasmara (Yayasan Masjid Rahmat) di Surabaya.

Cak Nun dawuh bahwa sholawatan itu tidak perlu menunggu bersama-sama orang banyak. Tidak perlu formalitas, pada hemat saya. Yang penting Anda ingat Rasulullah. Anda ingat posisi anda bertiga, bersama Rasulullah dan Allah, itu juga sholawat. Baik dengan ucapan maupun ingatan dalam hati.

“Mengapa sih pake inget Rasulullah?”

Satu hal, karena yang paling bisa kita andalkan di hadapan Gusti Allah itu ya Kanjeng Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu ‘alaihi wassalam. Kalau mau Gusti Allah itu setia dengan apa yang kita inginkan, cita-citakan, kita mestinya berkaca, bisakah kita ini diandalkan oleh Gusti Allah? Sebenarnya kita ini, kan, belum bisa diandalkan oleh Gusti Allah jika menilik perangai kita yang masih serba kurang. Maka, dalam bahasa Cak Nun, kita ini cuma bisa ‘gondelan klambine Kanjeng Nabi’. Bergantung atau menggantungkan diri pada Kanjeng Nabi. Karena yang pasti bisa diandalkan itu, ya, Rasulullah Muhammad.

Sholawatan adalah ‘gondelan klambine Kanjeng Nabi’ yang dimaksud oleh Cak Nun. Karena Beliau sangat bisa diandalkan dan sangat mencintai kita, ummatnya. Seluruh hidupnya Kanjeng Nabi adalah untuk mendoakan ke-mashlahat-an kita, fiddunya walaakhirah. Itulah Sholawat.

Sholawat Tarhim, kembali menurut dawuh Cak Nun, menggambarkan bagaiman kita seharusnya ikhlas kepada Gusti Allah Azza wa Jalla. Sesusah-susahnya kita di dunia ini, marilah berlapang dada, nrima kalau kata orang Jawa. Yang penting kita tidak dimurkai Gusti Allah dan tetap dicintai oleh Kanjeng Nabi. Gampangnya, kata Cak Nun, “Berkeinginanlah menjadi ma’mum-nya Kanjeng Nabi.” Entah apapun yang terjadi. Itulah cita-cita yang luar biasa.

“Ash-Shallatu wa as-salaamu ‘alaiik... Yaa Imaam al-Mujaahidiin...”

Mari kita bersholawat. Semoga keselamatan terlimpahkan kepada Kanjeng Nabi. Pemimpinnya atau imamnya para pejuang.

Black Horse

          Earth is round bung! and the ball is circular! "chirped a friend who had just won a bet to play. This bet is not playing gaple, rummy, chess and carrom championship household level, but the stakes guessing game where the winning teams. Odds are always in favor of the star-studded team "handsome" which is always a favorite. But the outcome of the game is not necessarily so. why? Again, "Because the ball is round bung!," All possibilities can still happen.

          Shocking! Atletico Madrid who previously did not favored wandering without permis-sion entered the European Champions League final. Red, white, blue tablecloth jersey inherent in their cages turn black as jet black horse like being "tiwikrama". As a final repeat of last year which raised Borussia Dortmund as a real dark horse, supposing the final fight between David with Goliath reconcile.

          "The earth is round bung! and the ball is circular! "
          

          I still remember all the words. When during my first school was not very holy, I have friends still like air-gambling. Unmitigated our destiny is at stake. We often bet "kethakan" or "jitak" head when teams who championed his team lost.

          At that time I was still very "njawani". If there are two teams playing, I definitely chose the underdogs. Not knowing the analysis of football, but because of pity for small teams. Seeing the weak teams competed my little heart was touched. Equally feel great so little people, then I would support an all-out young team that was. Be the head I often become "sandsak" middle finger of my friends were.

River not landfills

By M. Eko Nurcahyono

Yogyakarta city is located right between the peak of Mount Merapi in the north by the Indian Ocean in the south. This is the cause of DIY traversed much of the river that flows from the north and empties into the southern ashore. Call it the river Gendol, Kuning, Boyong, Opaque, Gajah Wong, Tambak Bayans, Winongo, Code, Progo and others. With it's mostly used as paddy irrigation water supply. Dams constructed so that the flow rate can be controlled and channeled to the rice fields.

Naturally these rivers drain the water from the top of Merapi to the Indian Ocean with a suspension of sand and dust Merapi volcanic deposits are still piling into upstream. Suspension of dust and sand are transported it that will restore the fertile soil in the lower reaches, especially along the banks of rivers and alluvial soil of rice fields in the valleys of Bantul and Kulon Progo and rehabilitate sand beaches along the south of the island of Java. This means that the existence of these rivers become very important for the sustainability and balance of land and water ecosystems. and not only provide water availability for the community Yogyakarta and surrounding areas.

But we realize it or not, today's society treats the river to go around. Humans still not wise to treat river properly. Now the river converted into landfills or household waste. Disposing of waste by throwing it into the river has started entrenched. Now the river water is no longer clean and healthy, it can even harm humans and the ecosystem as a whole.

When in fact, if cleanliness is maintained river, the river also has the potential to be a beautiful tourist destination object. If managed and developed tourism potential, the river can be interesting attractions, as well as a means of supporting education.

Take for example the Thuyul river located in the  Sumber Kidul hamlet, Brebah subdistrict, Sleman regency. Thuyul river which is a subsidiary of times Opaque very useful for education and tourism. How not, there found two different rock types are separated by water flow. Igneous rock texture shaped pillow lava in the west of the river and sedimentary rocks with a layered texture on the east river. Very rarely found in Jogja river that separates two different rock types. But unfortunately, a lot of garbage strewn right under the bridge even cause an unpleasant smell. Most plastic waste that is likely intentionally discharged from the bridge.

The problem then, similar waste problem is not only found in the river only. River as an alternative to landfills seems to have been so badly implicated in our society. Appeal board which aims to maintain the cleanliness of the river seems to no longer be ignored. Things like this certainly can not be allowed because it would threaten inland water ecosystems as well as lowering the quality of river water quality standards.

If this is left unchecked, the physical properties of water such as odor, color and flavor will change. Water will rancid to foul when dissolved organic waste decomposes. When the dissolved organic material increases, there will be a change of color due to an increase in plankton or other microorganisms. So that the taste of the water will also be affected by the high levels of dissolved pollutants that contaminate the waters. Of course the content of pollutants also have an impact on the physical properties of water such as dissolved oxygen in the water (BOD), water temperature, degree of acidity (ph) of water, and metals that are harmful to human health.

Obviously we need to be wise to not throw garbage in the river. Rivers is not the landfills. Throw garbage in the river is tantamount to poison themselves, their families and our own brothers. In addition, the necessary systemic and holistic treatment from the government to resolve the problem. Environmental education must be fostered both formally and informally. The role of families and communities in providing exemplary and control really should pioneered. In the process control, if still found violations should be prosecuted and sanctioned. Sanctions should be imposed also is socially sanctioned form of community service and environment. So that people truly understand and are aware of the preservation of nature around us.
