Allah Does Not Burden what His Slaves can not Bear With

Taken from https://contentmuslimah.tumblr.com/post/185524444567/my-husband-said-something-to-me-today-that-really

My husband said something to me today that really got me thinking. Noticing i’ve been down the past few days, he reminded me that everything will be okay. He said that Allah will not burden us beyond what we can bear, and that is something we are constantly told. What he went on to say was if we cannot bear it, then there is something wrong in us. A deficieny of some sort. I’ve never really thought of it like that before. At times you will go through trials that really do seem unbearable, these trials will sometimes put a hold on your life. You get stuck in a rut and it is as though nothing is improving. You feel trapped, and although these tests upon first impact can be a hurdle to get over, it is still very possible. However, when it extends for much longer than what is bearable, when it begins to impact your sanity, you start to wonder if this test is here to build you up or to completely tear you down. 

What he said to me really changed my perspective. I am able to make even the smallest of things unbearable, if i refuse to move on, if i refuse to adapt and shape my life around it, or if i refuse to face the obstacles that come with this hardship. What could easily come and go if i could come to terms with it, could also remain with me and eat up at me for the longest time if i refuse to challenge it, or to challenge myself. What he said made me realize that because i was not willing to accept certain changes in my life, i was stalling and in turn experiencing this relentless torture. 

I don’t know if this will help anyone, but if you’re experiencing something similar, something that just won’t leave you.. maybe reflect on yourself and how you’re handling the situation. It could be that the door for relief was wide open for you all along, but you haven’t bothered to take the steps that will lead you out of this mess, whether it is out of fear, anxiety, a lack of motivation, ect. Life is a series of hurdles and events that we must either cross or adapt to, otherwise we will never grow, our struggles will never leave us and everything will only continue to pile up. Our time and what is written for us will not stop for the sake of our comfort. You just have to catch up with yourself.

Have you ever had people annoy you at work? Or maybe family members whose little habits bothered you? Have you been frustrated by a store clerk or waiter, or maybe another driver? What about frustration with your kid, or spouse?


How can we become more tolerant, find calm in the middle of all of these annoyances and frustrations?

For me, when I remember, the answer lies in getting outside of myself.

Pernyataan Sikap Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia di Jepang (PPI Jepang)
Perihal Pemberitaan Media Nasional yang Tidak Profesional Terkait Bencana di Jepang, Maret 2011

Berkaitan dengan bencana gempa di Perfektur Miyagi, Jepang, berskala 9 Richter yang disusul dengan tsunami dan ancaman radiasi nuklir, kami mahasiswa Indonesia di Jepang sangat menyayangkan berita-berita di beberapa media nasional yang dinilai tidak profesional dalam menyiarkan informasi. Kami mendapati berita-berita tersebut salah dan tidak sesuai dengan fakta sebenarnya di Jepang sehingga mengakibatkan
keresahan berlebihan bagi masyarakat dan keluarga di tanah air. Untuk itu, atas nama seluruh mahasiswa Indonesia di Jepang, Pengurus Pusat PPI (Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia) Jepang menyampaikan pernyataan
sikap seperti di bawah ini, meliputi peringatan bagi pers dan informasi keadaan WNI di Jepang secara umum.


Peringatan bagi pers

Menimbang:

1. bahwa kami banyak mendapati berita di media-media nasional yang bersifat berlebihan dan meresahkan. Berita-berita ini umumnya salah dalam mengungkapkan data serta salah dalam memahami konteks sehingga
menimbulkan misinterpretasi bagi masyarakat Indonesia.

2. beberapa contoh yang kami anggap fatal dari beberapa berita yang tersebar adalah berita bertajuk:
- "881 WNI di Jepang Selamat, 30.636 Belum Diketahui Nasibnya" tanggal 15 Maret dan,
- "Jepang Berusaha Hidupkan Kembali Listrik PLTN Fukushima" tanggal 17 Maret.
Keduanya dipublikasikan oleh salah satu portal berita nasional.
- berita pertama, walaupun kemudian diralat, dinilai salah dalam memahami konteks demografi persebaran WNI yang ada. Sebab, selain keempat perfektur ini, Miyagi, Iwate, Fukushima, Aomori, kondisi WNI
di lokasi lain tidak mengalami gangguan yang berarti. Angka 30.636 orang adalah salah konteks.
- berita kedua dinilai tidak mengindahkan kaidah jurnalistik sehingga menimbulkan kesan seluruh Jepang mengalami pemadaman listrik padahal kenyataannya tidak demikian.
3. berita-berita seperti di atas menyebabkan kecemasan yang berlebihan, terutama di tanah air. Salah satu akibatnya adalah Posko Crisis Center KBRI Tokyo banyak sekali menerima permintaan konfirmasi
terkait berita-berita tersebut, padahal KBRI Tokyo telah menyediakan informasi di situsnya.


Meminta:
4. kepada media nasional agar lebih profesional dalam berpedoman pada Kode Etik Jurnalistik (KEJ) dan Undang-Undang Pers. Salah satunya dengan menyiarkan berita secara informatif, berimbang serta diambil
dari sumber-sumber yang kredibel.


Kondisi umum WNI di Jepang

5. PPI Jepang menghimbau agar segala informasi mengenai kondisi WNI di Jepang dapat dirujuk melalui satu sumber yaitu Posko Crisis Center KBRI Tokyo. Silahkan merujuk pada situs KBRI Tokyo, Twitter @KBRITokyo maupun Facebook Kbri Tokyo.

6. bencana gempa, tsunami, dan meledaknya PLTN Fukushima hanya berdampak langsung pada perfektur-perfektur di daerah utara Pulau Honshu, seperti Miyagi, Iwate, Fukushima, Aomori. Sedangkan secara
umum kondisi di daerah selain itu, termasuk Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, di mana masyarakat Indonesia paling banyak berkumpul, dilaporkan aman dan tak ada korban.

7. KBRI telah berhasil mengevakuasi dan memulangkan lebih dari 100 WNI asal Sendai, Perfektur Miyagi ke Indonesia. Dan sampai saat ini, KBRI sedang mengevakuasi WNI lainnya di kota-kota di utara, seperti Iwate,
Fukushima, Kesennuma, dan sebagainya. Selengkapnya bisa diakses di situs KBRI Tokyo.

8. terkait ancaman radiasi nuklir PLTN Fukushima, berdasarkan pada hasil rapat antara KBRI Tokyo dengan para ahli nuklir Indonesia di Jepang tanggal 16 Maret 2011, dinyatakan bahwa ancaman radiasi nuklir
masih dalam lingkup kota Fukushima (radius 0-50km dari PLTN), sehingga tidak ada ancaman serius bagi kota-kota di luar radius 50km. Namun demikian, dilaporkan bahwa KBRI Tokyo terus melakukan evakuasi
terhadap WNI yang berada pada radius 0-100km ke Tokyo. Perlu diketahui, KBRI Tokyo berada pada lokasi berjarak 250km dr PLTN Fukushima. Selengkapnya dapat diakses di situs KBRI Tokyo.
Demikian pernyataan sikap ini kami sampaikan dengan iktikad baik menuju perubahan positif. Semoga menjadi peringatan bagi insan pers di Indonesia untuk lebih berhati-hati dalam menyampaikan berita.

"Mamam" and "Udah"

Last week, Aidan just turned eight months old. While I am far away
from him, my lovely wife tells me stories about his daily activities.
I was very excited yesterday when I heard Idan already said two words:
"Mamam" and "Udah". And he can use these words in correct situations.

When he feels hungry, he shouted "Maaa..m, mbuuu..", my wife told me.
Unfortunately, after five or six spoons of food delivered, Idan
intelligently says, "Udaaaa...h", and closed his mouth shut.

It seems he develop his talking ability much earlier than toddlers of his age.

New Update

How many internet accounts do I have? Simple answer: Many. One of them is my fotopic.net account. Long has not been updated, today I upload one photograph of my son, Girardi H. R. Ariwibowo. Other photographs will be uploaded there, to the gallery, in several days to come.

To Celebes

Girardi went to Sulawesi, attending his aunt Riva's wedding. He met with relatives of grandpa. Mom said Girardi was very excited since he woke up right after checkin in to the airport.

This is his first time on a flight. Surely he likes to travel very much. As well as his mom.
