#Abadi statement

[uefb]

New chapter of With Its Head Under One Wing up today! (Finally.) x

In which Newt arrives very late; Tina and Newt...communicate; Newt apparently has secrets (though he’s not the only one); the two engage in something approaching a heart-to-heart but its really just Newt unintentionally courting her; and then a [non-literal] bomb drops, precipitating a mini-adventure, next chapter.

Excerpt

They finished dinner with far more speed than she’d intended, for it quickly became clear—at least, following her unintentionally provocative press conference on Tuesday—that dining in a Jewish wizarding deli as Chief Auror Goldstein with her eccentric, gentile, beau Newt Scamander was anything but conducive to a meaningful, private conversation... (Newt hadn’t even been able to finish telling her his story about the fellow in Greece who’d tried to sell him hair elixir infused with unicorn blood.)

Tina, meanwhile, had nearly jumped out of her skin when one Hal Abadi of the  Shalom Standard  slipped into their booth with a strained smile, an apologetic stack of black-and-white cookies, and a whispered promise to cover them if they wanted to slip out. (Tina had apparently been  very  visibly wearying of tossing up eavesdropping deflection charms every few minutes as people pointedly peered at her over their evening broadsheets; and Newt’s face had long settled into a resigned grimace, though he continued to crunch determinedly at an oversized pickle.) 

Tina took Hal up on the offer—promising him the first question at next week’s press conference in return—before wrapping up her unfinished pastrami in a transfigured wax bag. She gratefully tugged Newt away from the table as Abadi cast a subtle series of misdirection spells behind them, all the way to the door.

Outside in the late summer air, Newt collapsed against the front of a bookshop with a confused grin and—half-obscured beneath a hanging basket of sprawling, magenta petunias—huffed out a breath. He tightened his grip on his case before fixing her with a direct but querulous look:

“I’m almost sorry to ask, Tina, but... What in Merlin’s name has been going on over here?”

She crossed her arms tightly before reaching down with a spit-slicked finger to rub a splotch of dirt off her oxfords. He was still looking at her when she straightened back up. 

“It’s a — long story…”

He gazed at her imploringly from behind the petunias. 

“Look, it’s one that’s probably better saved for whenever  you  decide to share what I’m sure is a gripping tale regarding your late arrival. But elsewhere,” she clarified. “In private.”

Newt watched her for another long moment and Tina watched him back, but he eventually nodded, ducked out from beneath the plant and offered her his arm, after which they proceeded down the street with a relatively comfortable silence between them.

They walked the length of Hall & Harrison Square to reach the public Floo hearths (for Newt was  not  in the mood to be dragged along again via apparition so soon after three days on a boat), only stopping once at an apothecary for him to pop in and replenish a handful of ingredients. 

In the end, Tina only had to threaten to jinx one journalist on their way, a fellow who wanted ‘just’ a statement on one of the Auror Office’s ongoing cases. 

Plus an update on Grindelwald. 

And then  also  a response to the lecture Tina had given the  New York Ghost regarding antisemitism on Tuesday…

Now, in her defense, Tina had not actually  threatened  the reporter until he’d tried to send a message to his photographer when Newt emerged from the apothecary behind her—balancing a spray of vibrant wolfsbane and dried knotgrass on one hip while clutching several bulky wax bags to his chest—for the journalist seemed to think the two of them would make  excellent  Spellbound material…

Newt had found the whole thing overwhelming but – also –  endlessly  amusing. At least, until Tina had threatened to hex him,  too, at which point he’d disappeared into his case—in the middle of the damn promenade—faster than Tina had ever seen.

Nevertheless, a few minutes later, he emerged ingredient-less with a fond smile that warmed her chest and lit him all the way to his eyes.

Tina had had to shake her head to regain concentration, before reaching deep into a trouser pocket for the Floo powder.

They disappeared from the Square in a burst of flickering flame.

Footnotes from the chapter under ‘read more’!

Footnotes from the chapter:

1. Did I craft this bouquet based on (a) what I thought would look pretty; (b) their meanings in ‘the language of flowers’; and (c), partially, what I thought might represent Tina visually and symbolically? I absolutely did. My tentative research indicates the following meanings for the flowers: 

Coneflower/echinacea: no identified meaning, but they are used for health & healing traditionally

Rudbeckia (black-eyed susan): justice

Lavender: devotion

Chives: usefulness

Lisianthus: no identified meaning, but—though often perceived as delicate—they are exceptionally hardy

Baby's breath: ever-lasting love(?)

Red or scarlet poppy: consolation, fantastic extravagance

Ranunculus: ‘You are radiant with charms’

Honeysuckle: bonds of love

2. Absolutely humiliating that I did this, but here’s the shipping news from Wednesday August 16, 1933 (published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle), showing a boat that picked up passengers in Southampton, UK was set to arrive in NYC—at the identified docks—on August 17th. The things you can learn on the Internet… (Fun fact, which I’m sharing because it is a common misconception: Transatlantic trips did not take a month in the 1920s & 1930s. We would’ve all been screwed in the WWs if that were the case. Think a handful of days to a little over a week. </end infodump>)

3. In-text links on Guanyin.

4. Guanyin is, in fact, often artistically represented with the Chinese mythological creature, the Qilin, which I assume inspired she-who-must-not-be-named to create the FB Qilin. It also appears in other Asian cultures.

5. The name of Hall & Harrison Square—the NYC equivalent of Diagon Alley I made up—is inspired by the first witch trials in New York state and surrounding areas. You can read more here (also linked in text).

6. For non-US and/or non-Jewish folks, the Jewish Deli may need a bit of explanation. (For those looking for a pop-cultural “touchstone”, Jewish delis have recently been featured in Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which—admittedly—has had wildly mixed reviews from Jewish consumers. There’s also a famous scene at Katz’ Deli in the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally, though I’m pop-culturally ignorant & haven’t seen it.) Anyway, Jewish Delis are a fantastically rich feature of many urban, Jewish communities in the U.S. One of my dear friends who moved away from NYC in the 70s still has his elderly mother mail him bagels and lox and other delicious things from the Upper West Side*—delis are a huge part of many people’s lives, and they were even more so in the interwar years, and during and after WWII. If you’re ever in NYC or a city with Jewish delis, I highly recommend it. Google for more info. The in-text wiki link is NOT sufficient.

*Click this link to see a map of the areas I talk about in this note, and the chapter itself. Anyway, from what we can surmise from (a) tiny little details in the film (e.g., Jacob’s bakery, which is in the Lower East Side—Rivington St., a few blocks over & down from both Katz’s and a corner that has hosted a synagogue for over a century—and making some guesses based off of producer choices to model Tina & Queenies apartment on the NYC Tenement Museum (also in the LES, as the LES was particularly well known for tenements and—coincidentally?— also a couple handful of blocks from Kowalski Baked Goods); in combination with NYC neighborhood history and immigration trends… I write Tina & Queenie having grown up in the Lower East Side, as opposed to Upper West Side or Brooklyn or even Chelsea, where they live during, at least, the first film. (Not to be confused with the very Jewish town of Chelsea, Massachusetts, though Chelsea, NYC has it own Jewish history that I’ve found difficult to research as a non-New Yorker, and on the internet. It appears to have been rather Sephardic-influenced, though?) Even besides all that, though—especially based on waves of Jewish immigration from different regions of the world to various parts of NYC—I don’t think it *quite* makes sense for them to have grown up in Chelsea, especially since I write their parents as second generation immigrants, e.g., Tina & Queenie’s grandparents were the ones to originally immigrate to the US, along with good ol’ Great Uncle Arnold, from the Hesse-Darmstadt region of Germany (and many middle-class Jews immigrated from Germany to the LES between the 1830s-1880s, before spreading out across NYC from there). Anyway, for the sake of “my” universe, I think it's more likely they moved away from the LES after their parents’ died or after Tina graduated Ilvermorney, depending on where one imagines Uncle Arnold to live. The West Side (where Chelsea is) is, however, much closer to Harlem, where Lally grew up, so if Arnold lived in Chelsea that’s two good motivations to move, apparition aside... (Not that any of it even matters, of course! ….I just think it’s fun.)

Another fun fact, that many of y’all already know: Dan Fogler’s great-grandfather Isaac Fogler ran Fogler’s Pumpernickel in the LES in the 1900s—up until his death in 1943, it seems, though it didn’t always go excellently (e.g., he applied for bankruptcy in 1918, according to the papers, but was released from his debts in 1919)—in the same area of the Lower East Side that Kowalski Goods is in the films, within site of the Williamsburg Bridge. (Which—for you non-USians—connects Manhattan to Brooklyn, where both Jacob Kowalski & Dan Fogler grew up, though Jacob is likely Polish & Fogler’s great-grandfather was an Austrian immigrant). Anyway, Fogler has said he feels like he was made for the part, and feels connected to his grandfather and family history through his role as Jacob in the film. Pretty cool, huh?

(….all of that was entirely unnecessary, I am so sorry. I’ve been using overly niche history binges to cope with life recently lmao.)

7. So it was brought to my attention how very specifically US and New York black-and-white cookies are. So I’ve linked to the Wiki article on them in the text.

Aku adalah seorang Agnostic dalam Politik. .. Dulu aku paling antipati dan tidak pernah peduli dengan politik. Karena menurutku dulu, politik itu "Bullshit". .. Tapi 7 tahun lalu, ada kolega yang menyadarkan aku jika kita sebagai rakyat yang sudah memiliki hak memilih (umur >17th) wajib peduli politik. Karena apa? Karena semua aspek kehidupan kita di negara ini ya ditentukan oleh politik itu sendiri. .. Sejak itu aku mulai mengikuti dan mengamati dinamika politik di Indonesia. Dan juga menjadikan @pandji.pragiwaksono sebagai guru onlineku dalam memahami apa itu politik. .. Dan sampai saat ini pun, aku memilih untuk menjadi "Agnostic Politics". Yaitu tidak pernah fanatik terhadap sebuah ideologi, fanatik terhadap sebuah partai, fanatik terhadap seorang tokoh dan fanatik terhadap sebuah poros jika terjadi kontestasi. .. Makanya kebanyakan followers ku di sosial media tidak pernah tau kecenderunganku dalam berpolitik mengarah kemana. Karena aku memang tidak akan pernah ber statement sebagai seorang "simpatisan". .. Seperti yang pernah aku bilang, aku bisa saja getol mengkritik kiri atau kanan. Atau bisa saja getol mendukung petahana atau oposisi. .. Selama sesuai dengan visi misiku dan kebutuhanku, disana akan kuberi dukungan/suara dalam diam (silent support). Tapi jika ada suatu kebijakan yang tidak sesuai dengan visi misiku dan menyenggol kehidupanku, aku akan kritisi dengan berteriak, bahkan di sosmed. .. Setidaknya sifatku ini kelak menghindarkan aku dari rasa kecewa dan malu di sosial media, jika junjungan politik yang mati-matian kita puji dan kita bela di sosmed (apalagi sampai berantem antara teman/keluarga seperti di pilpres 2019) tiba-tiba berubah haluan, berubah pikiran dan berubah visi dengan kita. .. Karena apa? Seperti kata para host @totalpolitikcom tidak ada yang abadi dalam politik, yang ada hanyalah kepentingan. .. Ini sudut pandang dan langkahku, dan aku sangat-sangat menghargai pada temen-temen yang memilih untuk bersuara menjadi Simpatisan dalam politik. Itu juga sangat-sangat tidak masalah. Karena semua tergantung pilihan setiap pribadi.

About $139 billion flowed last year, through September, into ESG investment funds—that is, funds that invest according to various environmental, social, and governance criteria, like lower carbon emissions. It’s become a booming global business in recent years—and a controversial one, at least in the United States. Republican officials have accused ESG investment funds of “woke capitalism”—of unfairly hurting businesses in favor of an extraneous political agenda. Last week, Republicans in Congress voted to block a Labor Department rule that would allow retirement plan managers to incorporate ESG criteria into their investment decisions. Similar laws have been passed in Republican-controlled states across the country, to the consternation of liberals—and investors.

How did the concept of ESG investing get its start? If investors have to choose between profit and climate goals, won’t they ultimately always choose profit? And does the finance industry identify more with Republicans or Democrats? Those are a few of the questions that came up in my recent conversation with FP economics columnist Adam Tooze on the podcast we co-host, Ones and Tooze. What follows is an excerpt, edited for length and clarity.

For the full conversation, look for Ones and Tooze wherever you get your podcasts.

Cameron Abadi: How did the concept of ESG investing get its start? And why were so many financial actors seemingly so quick to endorse the idea?

Adam Tooze: Yeah, it’s a really big deal. I mean, globally right now we’re talking about an industry of asset management run according to ESG principles perhaps in the order of $18 trillion. And, at least until recently, the expectation was that this was going to grow very dramatically over time.

There’s been a kind of ethical, moral capitalism since the beginning of the system. Famously, somebody like Max Weber would say that capitalism actually grew out of a sort of theological inspiration. And in the 19th century, you could think of firms like Cadbury, the Quaker chocolate manufacturers who were big in anti-slavery activism. But I think the woke badge that’s been attached to ESG by the Republicans is quite telling in the sense that the modern ESG model is really a product of the 1970s, which I think is also historically where you would see wokeism as a form of politics. It’s a child of the ’70s in the sense that it’s post-traditional radicalism, it’s not socialist politics. It’s a kind of new alignment of civil rights-orientated, human rights-orientated, rights-based thinking with elite politics. And I think that’s what really drives the Republicans in the U.S. crazy.

But I think the genuine start in the modern form of campaigning activists is really the Sullivan principles over apartheid and investing in South Africa. These were initiated in 1977. And then you see big American pension funds like TIAA in ’78 issuing a statement on its business in South Africa and fully divesting by 1983. And the divestment movement of the 1980s, I think, is really the precursor of the modern ESG line. By the 1990s, there is really a sort of global corporate responsibility movement in full swing at the same time as there’s also, of course, the anti-globalization politics of the 1990s. And this sort of synthesizes, then, in the U.N. principles for responsible investing from 2006, which actually coins the ESG slogan. And it’s really from that moment onward that we have this badge, ESG, as a kind of common denominator for this kind of politics.

CA: How does that work in the case of, say, climate polluters. Do investors, through their mechanisms of acting as shareholders, really control the fate of carbon emissions? Do publicly traded companies even produce the majority of carbon emissions in the world?

AT: This is a key issue, and it also goes to the matter of history, because if you went back to the world economy as it was in the early 1990s, then for good reason, climate activism would have centered on the Exxons, the BPs, the Shells of this world. And they, of course, remain very significant polluters. But if you actually look at the more recent trends in the global economy since the end of the Cold War and the advent of the latest phase of globalization, the thing we have to wrap our heads around is that of the top 10 polluters worldwide in the fossil fuel business, only two are privately owned, widely traded Western oil majors, Exxon and Shell. The top eight are government-owned, government-linked energy companies, largely in the emerging market world. So at the very top is China’s coal industry, as a whole. Then next is Saudi Aramco. Then you’ve got Gazprom, then Iran’s national oil company, then you’ve got Coal India, then you have Pemex in Mexico, then you have Russia’s coal business and then China’s national petroleum company.

And those between them account for something like 33 percent of global emissions since the 1980s. Because you’re talking about the entire energy sector of two of the most rapidly growing economies in the world, which are gigantic—China and India are vastly huge. So this idea that by way of Western publicly traded capitalism, you can control the whole world economy is anachronistic. It’s no longer the case. There’s no way around politics, ultimately, because state-owned enterprises are key to this story now.

Even within the West, there is another sort of worry, which is that if ESG takes the form of divestment—so brand-aware, major publicly traded companies trying to get clean—it’s one thing if they shut activities down, which actually does result in a net reduction in pollution. But if what they do is actually divest themselves of the assets, sell them off, the question, of course, is who they sell them to. And often what they’ll do is sell them into non-publicly traded companies, basically private-equity firms of various types or privately owned energy companies that will then run these assets. And, of course, that doesn’t do anything for global pollution. And in terms of corporate governance, it may actually reduce the capacity of environmental politics to reach those assets, because those companies will be much less responsive to pressure. And if things go wrong, they also don’t have the deep pockets to pay large-scale compensation in the case of, say, offshore oil spills. If we have a major disaster, it’s clearly much better that it’s a BP that’s on the hook that can pay out billions in compensation, whereas a small, cheap-and-dirty private oil company might just go bankrupt and roll away from the losses.

CA: Is there a more fundamental mismatch here: If investors have to choose between profit and climate goals, won’t they choose profit? Isn’t there just a motivation problem here from the perspective of the investors?

AT: There certainly is. And you see that every time the fossil fuel market revives, all of a sudden the oil majors begin reconsidering their energy transition plans because there’s just so much money to be made in oil and gas. And they feel they have an obligation. And, you know, if you’ve got a player in the system like Exxon, for instance, which is doggedly defending its fossil fuel-based energy model, then it’s very difficult for its competitors under those kind of circumstances to stay on their ESG track.

There are two different ways of bridging this. The first is to claim that being green is actually profitable. In the end, there isn’t a trade-off. One of the early reports of the 2000s on ESG investing literally had the title “Who Cares, Wins,” as a riff on the SAS slogan, the British Special Forces slogan: “Who Dares, Wins.” And that’s part of the argument of the ESG lobby, the ESG campaign, is that actually to posit a stark contrast between profit and sustainability is a false contrast. In any case, that’s one way of answering this.

And the other is to face it head-on and to say, “Well, you know, who are investors? What are investors?” And generally speaking, what we’re talking about is pots of money, say, from pension funds or insurance firms, which are then passed on to fund managers. And so the investor, here, is the combination of the fund manager and the ultimate owners of the pension pot. And it’s perfectly legitimate for the pension fund, you know, the Californian teachers pension fund or whatever, to specify that our members do not want profit to go ahead of environmental sustainability. We do not want to retire on the basis of profits extracted from underpaid workers in Central America. And then you just pass that on as an instruction to the manager, and then there’s really no conflict.

CA: Republicans are obviously making this a political issue in the United States—but is finance as a whole already a polarized industry? Does it identify with one party in the United States more than another?

AT: I think it’s very complex, because finance is a diversified industry sprawling across the country, both small and large, with major centers, of course, in the coast and California and, above all, in New York, but all the way down the East Coast and taking lots of different shapes and sizes, from very small family-run financial advisory outfits to giant banks. I think at the level of corporate leadership, you see a kind of split consciousness in that they like tax cuts and deregulation, which is what the Republicans provide. But on the other hand, if you’re running a big, globally orientated business in the United States, you find yourself willy-nilly in the camp of the Democrats right now, so long as the Republicans are in kind of culture-war, Trumpist-clown-show mode, because you simply can’t align a big business with that kind of politics. And so there is a real tension there.

At the global level and at like Davos or at COP27 or whatever, the leaders of major corporations around the world want to appear as though they are on the right side of history. Meanwhile, if you go down into the rank and file of the giant American financial industry, of course, you’ll find loads of folks working on Wall Street who are solidly Republican-voting and are probably chuckling to themselves over the dilemmas that their corporate leadership find themselves in, while, like, swanning around at Davos and places like that trying to look good.

And I have to say, I have a sort of sneaking sympathy for this, because the ESG shtick is an interesting form of liberal politics that doesn’t really dare to speak its name. Right? What it does is to translate a set of what are, by any stretch of the imagination, political judgments on how you value community, the distribution of income, the priorities of ecological policy. It translates them into values that it then attempts, as it were, to place outside the sphere of political debates and then mandate as a sort of consensus of values. And in a sense, what the Republicans are doing is just calling their bluff and saying, “No, we see you coming.” This is basically the Democratic Party’s agenda cast as a value set, which we are supposed to subscribe to, and we just frankly don’t. So if you want to have this agenda, spell it out, be upfront, and pass legislation that requires it, for instance. But if you can’t win that argument, then don’t try to smuggle it in by way of corporate agenda-setting.

10:24 : Awal Yang Absurd [tl;dr]

Sangat aneh memang ketika saya menceritakan pertama kali saya bertemu dengan 10:24 ini. Diawali dengan jam tangan kesayangan saya tiba-tiba mati dengan menunjukan pukul 10:24 lebih 20 detik. Menurut kalian mungkin bisa saja saya iseng-iseng memindahkan jarum jam itu menjadi seperti itu, saya tidak peduli anda percaya atau tidak. Ketika jam itu mati, saya awalnya juga biasa saja. Hanya saja angka dari pukul tersebut tidaklah asing bagi saya.

Sebuah info untuk kalian, saya ini penggemar Baskara Putra. Mungkin beberapa dari kalian yang sedang membaca ini sudah tahu siapa dia. Untuk yang belum tahu, dia adalah salah satu personil dari band .feast yang beberapa waktu lalu membuat sebuah statement yang cukup kontroversial bagi kalangan anak-anak band rock metal. Dan dia mempunyai solo projek sendiri yang bernama Hindia.

Saya tidak akan membahas .feast nya melainkan saya ingin membahas Hindia. Bukan pula membahas lagunya, saya ingin anda lebih teliti untuk menemukan sebuah angka di video klipnya hindia yang berjudul Belum Tidur.

Agak aneh juga awalnya, saya mengira itu sebuah tanggal perilisan album perdananya Hindia yang bertepatan pada 24 oktober.

Dari sini anda sudah mengerti mengapa 10:24 ini tidak asing bagi saya ? saya ingin memberi konteks terlebih dahulu kepada anda. Jam saya mati pada tahun ini (2020), ketika saya tahu Hindia istilah 10:24 dan pada saat itu saya belum tahu apa maksud dari 10:24 itu.

Setelah itu saya mencoba stalking tumblr dia di wordfangs-blog.tumblr.com dan saya menemukan postingan dia tentang 10:24. Singkatnya, 10:24 adalah waktu di mana kita semua akan menuju the day yang berarti kiamat. Ada pertanyaan dari dia yang membuat saya cukup temenung.

Pernahkah terpikir bagaimana pertanggung jawaban kalian nanti di kesadaran setelah kematian, jika kalian tidak pernah menciptakan sesuatu yang signifikan di dunia ini, meninggalkan jejak kalian, menciptakan sesuatu?

Apa yang saya lakukan untuk dunia ?

Apakah saya sudah menjadi berkat untuk orang lain terutama pada diri saya sendiri ?

Apa kontribusi saya untuk society di masa hidup saya ?

Apakah ketika mati saya akan diingat atau akan benar-benar dihapus dari memori kehidupan ?

Pertanyaan saya sampai detik ini pun belum terjawab, mungkin belum saatnya saja atau mungkin memang tidak ada jawabannya.

10:24 itu universal. 10:24 adalah untuk mencipta sebelum mati. 

Baskara seolah mengajak saya untuk melakukan sesuatu untuk di sekitar saya, entah itu untuk keluarga saya, untuk teman saya atau untuk diri saya sendiri.

Ada sebuah kalimat dari postingan itu yang membuat saya cukup sesak di dada saya,

Saya belum diingat. Keluarga yang menangisi saya akan mati, kekasih yang merongrong tragis akan mati. Saat mereka mati, tak akan ada yang mengingat saya. Saya tidak ada. Saya hilang.

Mengingat saya juga tidak tertalu tahu tentang silsilah keluarga saya seperti apa, bapak dari bapak nenek saya pun saya tidak tahu. Itu yang membuat saya sesak, saya akan benar-benar hilang dari memori kehidupan.

Jasad saya akan hilang, harta tidak akan selalu ada bahkan keluarga akan ada waktunya untuk menghilang. Yang tidak akan menghilang itu aksi apa yang saya buat untuk kehidupan. Karya saya tidak akan menghilang, mereka abadi dan akan selalu menjadi anak kesayangan saya.

10:24 mengajak saya untuk lebih produktif lagi

10:24 berbisik kepada saya untuk menjadi berkat untuk semua orang

10:24 melambai kepada anda untuk lebih mengenal lebih tentang dia

10:24 sudah menjadi ideologi diri saya dan kamu bisa memiliki ini juga

Buat lah sesuatu yang akan dikenang oleh orang-orang sekitarmu. Mereka akan senang tiasa mengenangmu ketika kelak dirimu sudah mati.

Banyak pelajaran yang saya petik dari ini, jika merasa tertarik untuk mengetahui lebih lengkap bisa mampir ke tumblr dia wordfangs-blog.tumblr.com.

Jam tangan itu selalu melekat di tangan kiri saya, agar sebagai pengingat untuk saya. Saya tidak akan melupakan itu,

Belum saatnya terbakar, jangan mati sebelum besar.

Kesadaran

Waktu seorang adek tingkat curhat ke gw tentang kebucinannya dan gw patahin habis-habisan segala statement dan harapan dia. Dia sambil melas bilang "kakak nih nyadarin orang dengan cara ditampar, sakit kak. Harusnya dielus-elus dulu"

Gw mah ngakak aja. Memang pada dasarnya tida perasa. Dan emang gitulah cara gw ngasih saran.

Terus sesorean ini, setelah ga tau kenapa kecapekan banget dan bangun udah hampir jam 5an sore. Allah nyadarin gw dengan cara ditampar-tampar juga. Nyess. Sakit woi. Ibarat lagi tidur dan asyik asyiknya mimpi terus dipaksa bangun dengan disiram air. Kepaksa bangun dengan perasaan paling ga enak.

Pembahasan tentang perbucinan itu sudah bikin energi dan perhatian gw terkuras kayaknya. Memikirkan hal-hal yang ga berdampak signifikan dalam target jangka pendek gw.

Lalu Allah nyadarin gw dengan cara-Nya. Allah tau gw ini ga mempan di elus-elus, ga mempan disadarin pake kalimat manis nan halus, emang harus ditampar anaknya, emang minta disiram aer biar bangun. Gw ditunjukkan tentang manusia dan kompleksitas rasanya, tentang perasaan cinta yang ga semu, tentang keluarga, tentang kasih sayang ibu ke anaknya, tentang cinta kakak ke adiknya, tentang menjadi sulung, tentang memperlakukan bungsu, tentang persaudaraan. Hubungan yang lebih kekal dan abadi, namun lebih sering tidak baik-baik saja. Perasaan perasaan yg lebih kompleks dan rumit. Tentang sakit hati yang ga sembuh hanya dengan move on terus nemu yang lain. Seperti kata seorang teman, orang-orang ini adalah orang-orang yang limited edition. Maka kalau kita bermasalah dengan mereka, sungguh ga akan pernah bisa baik-baik saja.

Kuatkan ya Allah, kuatkan :"). Sadarkan kalau banyak banget yang butuh peran sulung.

#5: Bongkahan Investasi Abadi Ayah Ibu (Part I)

[ Wonogiri, 20 Agustus 2019 ]

Alkisah dulu ada orang yang mengaku anak organisator. Berangkat sekolah tak sempat menyapa matahari, pulang pun rasanya tak kenal hangatnya sunset perjalanan.

Tidak ada masalah berarti antara anak dan kedua orangtua melihat si anak yang seperti itu. Tapi baru disadari ternyata ada pola komunikasi yang kurang sehat jika ini dibiarkan terus terjadi.

Disuatu waktu, dititik terjenuh. Sejenak merenungi. Hei gadis cilik, apa yang sebenernya kau cari? Tempat seperti apa yang akan kau tuju? Apa disana kau temukan bahagiamu sesungguhnya?

Ya singkat cerita. Kalau kau kelak jadi mereka (orang tua), bagaimana perasaanmu? Egoisnya diri ini, pentingkan pengembangan diri dari pada rasakan kasih sayang orang tua yang jelas nyata abadi :(

Ayah pernah berkata, "Ndidik anak kui pancen angel nduk (mendidik anak itu memang susah nak). Ditambah ayah juga khawatir faktanya anak-anak tetangga banyak menorehkan kekecewaan terdalam di hati orang tuanya karna kecelakaan kebebasan pergaulan. HATI-HATI ya nduk. Pesan ayah singkat, tapi itu bermakna dalam dan luas untukmu agar bisa jabarkan sendiri."

Sepintas teringat kata ayah yang lain lagi, "Wong tuwo iku musti iling anak nduk, tapi anak rung musti kelingan wong tuwo (orangtua itu selalu ingat anak, tapi anak belum tentu ingat orang tua)."

Aku seketika pucat parah. Apakah statement ini adalah hukum alam? Apakah teman-teman pembaca sependapat dengan statement ayah ini? Benarkah begitu?

Sedikit demi sedikit aku belajar dari sepenggal pengalaman masa lalu. Teman bisa jadi pergi dan berganti. Event bisa sehari jadi, lalu berakhir di farewale party. Organisasi hanya hitungan periode, dan tinggal menunggu masa untuk berhenti. Tapi kenangan kedua orang yang tercipta disetiap detikmu, disanalah tersimpan harapan abadi.

Harapan kita akan jadi generasi penerus yang mumpuni. Harapan orang tua bahwa kita adalah cita-cita nyata dari sebuah investasi.

Investasi kebahagiaan dunia, investasi pengganda catatan amal yang mengalir hingga hari perhitungan nanti.

“Jika seseorang meninggal dunia, maka terputuslah amalannya kecuali tiga perkara (yaitu): sedekah jariyah, ilmu yang dimanfaatkan, atau do’a anak yang sholeh” (HR. Muslim no. 1631)

Sadarkah kau itu adalah bongkahan investasi abadi bagi orang tuamu?

[arambaya]

Sejiwanya manusia ialah makhluk yang saling mengandalkan satu sama lain. Entah diandalkan atau mengandalkan semuanya saling silir berganti. Manusia terlahir dan diciptakan dengan hati yang murni tanpa terperdaya dengan nafsu hewani. Manusia memiliki derajat paling tinggi di mata pencipta-Nya. Paling berakal di antara semua mahkluk. Namun manusia sendiri yang merusak identitas sebagai manusia yang murni dan seutuhnya. Bahkan kini hampir semua manusia sudah berada di bawah derajat hewan. Di mana hewan diciptakan lebih rendah dari manusia. Hewan tidak beri akal pikiran sedikit pun secuil pun dari pencipta-Nya, namun mereka hingga detik ini tidak menjatuhkan derajat sebagai hewan yang tidak diberi akal. Di kolong langit ini semua makhluk dijadikan satu berdampingan tanpa ada tembok yang membatasi. Seutuhnya hanya ingin menjadikan semua makhluk waras sewarasnya makhluk yang memiliki akal dam pikiran. Ironisnya hingga kini manusia sudah menjelma menjadi hewan. Menjelma yang tidak seharusnya dijadikan “role model”.

Apa tujuan semua makhluk diciptakan? Tujuan hanya satu, saling hidup damai dan mengasihi, tapi tidak dengan kenyataannya. Penciptanya tidak pernah sedikit pun membedakan antar mahkluk. Namun yang diciptakan sangat jelas dan berani untuk membedakan dan mengelompokkan. Yang seharusnya bisa saling bergandengan tidak bisa bergandengan. Menatap pun enggan. Memisahkan satu dengan yang lain. Berbeda itu sudah ada hakikatnya namun bukan untuk membedakan. Tidak ada namanya suku bermusuhan dengan suku lain. Semua memiliki kesempatan yang sama. Seharusnya. Para petinggi yang sudah mengajarkan untuk saling membedakan. Beda suku beda kesempatan, beda agama beda perlakuan. Kita semua BERBEDA namun bukan untuk saling MEMBEDAKAN. Hal ini yang saya rasakan pada momen hidup saya kali ini. Menjadi waras kini menjadi cita - cita hidup dan tujuan hidup saya. Di mana semua menampakkan kepalsuan yang tidak akan abadi. Semua akan terungkap dalam waktu cepat atau lambat. Semua akan melihatkan keasliannya. Saat keasliannya tampak saat itulah manusia sebenarnya.

Jika hidup ini dipenuhi dengan rasa jujur dan murni akan sangat indah dirasa. Tidak ada rasa malu atau memalukan. Tidak ada rasa hina atau menghinakan. Hanya ada tercipta rasa kasih dan mengasihi. Untuk membangun dunia seperti ini rasanya tidak sulit, hanya butuh kesadaran dan ingat hakikatnya sebagai manusia. Bukan manusia sebagai hakim yang berani menghakimi sesama makhluk. Kamu kafir! Kamu berdosa! Ingat hakikat manusia, bukan ingat hakikat pencipta. Hak manusia hanya sampai pada perilaku tidak sampai penilai perilaku. Karena manusia bukan penilai dan bukan hakim. Hakim semua makhluk hanya satu dan sama! Tuhan Yang Maha Esa Yang Maha Agung. Bukan pejabat bukan pula para koruptor. Bukan pelacur bukan pula para germo. Bukan teman bukan pula para penghianat. Hanya satu pencipta semua makhluk. Tuhan Yang Maha Esa. Kamu bukan orang Jawa pasti pemalas. Kamu orang Padang pasti pelit. Berhenti untuk menciptakan statement yang akan membekas dan terekam mendarah daging untuk bangsa. Saya berharap semua makhluk bisa menjadi makhluk yang sewajarnya dan kembali murni.

FreeHand MX Editor's Review

FreeHand MX is used by design professionals, whether they’re creating content for web or print. Since it’s a fairly flexible piece of kit, it can handle everything from line art through to animation, and it has a selection of powerful tools to make your work easier. If you need to provide graphs then you’ll be pleased with the user friendly graph tool that will save you a lot of time and hassle. This software works on Windows and Mac, but Mac users should note that FreeHand MX won’t work with OS X 10.6 or higher, so maybe think about getting something like the new Adobe Illustrator instead. Pros: FreeHand MX has a wide range of enhanced features that will keep even professional graphic designers happy. The extrude tool will help you to create stunning images which appear to be 3D and there is an excellent perspective tool. Because you can fully rotate the 3D images, this is an excellent programme for technical drawers. Cons: This product isn’t being actively developed any more, and there haven’t been any updates to it for over four years, so it’s going to get outdated. If ultra-sleek graphics are what you need, then it’s probably worth upgrading to a newer programme. Conclusion: Although it’s no longer being developed, for the money, FreeHand MX still has plenty going for it, particularly in graphing and technical illustration.

Iraqi Protests: “Bad Government, Bad Roads, Bad Weather, Bad People”

By Patrick Cockburn, Counterpunch, July 20, 2018

“The people want an end to the parties,” chanted protesters, adapting a famous slogan of the Arab Spring, as they stormed the governor’s office and the international airport in the Shia holy city of Najaf.

Part of the wave of demonstrations sweeping across central and southern Iraq, they demanded jobs, electricity, water and an end to the mass theft of Iraq’s oil wealth by the political parties.

Beginning on 8 July, the protests are the biggest and most prolonged in a country where anti-government action has usually taken the form of armed insurgency.

The demonstrations are taking place in the heartlands of the Shia majority, reflecting their outrage at living on top of some of the world’s largest oilfields, but seeing their families barely survive in squalor and poverty.

The protests began in Basra, Iraq’s third largest city which is at the centre of 70 per cent of its oil production. A hand-written placard held up by one demonstrator neatly expresses popular frustration. It read:

“2,500,000 barrels daily Price of each barrel = $70 2,500,000 x $70 = zero !! Sorry Pythagoras, we are in Basra”

The protests quickly spread to eight other provinces, including Najaf, Kerbala, Nasariya and Amara.

In several places, the offices of the Dawa Party, to which the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi belongs, were burned or attacked, along with those of parties whom people blame for looting oil revenues worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the 15 years since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

As the situation deteriorated, Mr Abadi flew to Basra on 13 July, promising to make $3bn available to improve services and provide more jobs. After he left, his hotel was invaded by protesters.

The credibility of almost all Iraqi politicians is at a low ebb, the acute feeling of disillusionment illustrated by the low 44.5 per cent turnout in the parliamentary election on 12 May that produced no outright winner.

The poll was unexpectedly topped by the Sairoun movement of the populist nationalist cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, who has encouraged his followers to start protests against government corruption and lack of services since 2015.

The Sadrists, who emphasised their socially and economically progressive programme by allying themselves with the Iraqi Communist Party in the election, are playing a role in the current protests.

The demonstrations are also backed by the prestigious Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani. At ground level, political activists and tribal leaders have set up a joint committee called “the Coordination Board for Peaceful Protests and Demonstrations in Basra”, its purpose being to produce a list of demands, unite the protest movement, and keep their actions non-violent.

“The ends don’t justify the means,” says the committee in a statement. “Let us, being oppressed, not lead to the oppression of others.”

A list of 17 demands is headed by one asking for a government timetable for supplying water and electricity, both of which are short at a time of year when the temperature sometime exceeds 50C, making it one of the hottest places on earth.

Local people claim that the last time that the port city of Basra, once called the Venice of the Gulf, had an adequate supply of drinking water was in 1982. Iran had been supplying some extra electricity, but has cut this back because of its own needs and failure of Iraq to pay on time.

The second demand of the protesters is for jobs. Lack of jobs is a source of continuing complaint all over Iraq. Much of its oil income already goes on paying 4.5 million state employees, but between 400,000 and 420,000 young people enter the workforce every year with little prospects of employment.

Anger towards the entire political class is intense because it is seen as a kleptocratic group which syphoned off money in return for contracts that existed only on paper and produced no new power plants, bridges or roads.

Political parties are at the centre of this corruption because they choose ministries, according to their share of the vote in elections or their sectarian affiliation, which they then treat as cash cows and sources of patronage and contracts.

Plundering like this and handing out of jobs to unqualified people means that many government institutions have become incapable of performing any useful function.

Radical reform is difficult because the whole system is saturated by corruption and incompetence. Technocrats without party backing who are parachuted into ministries become isolated and ineffective.

The defeat of Isis in 2017 with the recapture of Mosul means that Iraqis are no longer absorbed in keeping their families safe so they have they have more time to consider “corruption”--a word they use not just to mean bribery but the parasitic nature of the government system as a whole.

There is a general mood of cynicism and dissatisfaction with the way things are run.

“Bad government, bad roads, bad weather, bad people,” exclaimed one Iraqi friend driving on an ill-maintained road.

Corrupt motives are ascribed to everything that happens: a series of unexplained fires in Baghdad in June were being ascribed to government employees stealing from state depots and then concealing their crime by setting fire to the building and destroying it.

Given that the Iraqi security forces are primarily recruited from the areas in which the protests are taking place, the government will need to be careful about the degree of repression it can use safely.

The armed forces have been placed on high alert. Three regiments of the elite Counter-Terrorism Service, which led the attack on Mosul and is highly regarded and well disciplined, has been ordered south to cope with protests and away from places where there is still residual activity by Isis.

Iraq’s corrupt and dysfunctional governing system may be too set in its profitable ways to be reformed, but, if the ruling elite wants to survive, it must give ordinary Iraqis a larger share of the oil revenue cake.

Bualan Bujang

Belum lama ini, menjelang Ramadhan, untuk mengobati rasa rindu, saya memutuskan untuk menelpon salah satu sobat karib. Percakapanpun mengalir antar benua, terkadang menerjang sekat lampau dan terkadang menyikap kabut lusa, hingga pada titik beliau berkesah kondisi pasca berbadan dua. Sebegitukah rasa “rindu” mengalir. Sebatas ditinggal sang belahan jiwa akan sebuah hajat yang bahkan tidak melampaui lamanya menunggu adzan maghrib. Yah, entahlah, saya hanya bisa menerka-nerka kehidupan itu, hanya bisa mendengar dan memahami. Kata Dilan dalam novel tulisan Pidi Baiq “rindu itu berat biar aku saja...”, ups...nukilan jahiliyah saya keluar, tak apalah, apatah arti sebuah nukilan.

Dipenghujung sua, beliau memohon do’a akan keberkahan rumah tangga dan dzuriyat setelahnya. Ahhh.... dikau sobat, saya yang diperantauan ini, di salah satu tanah yang diberkahi ini, pada amal yang paling mulia ini, sungguh cermat kau memilih wasilat munajat. Tapi dirinya kubuat tercengang dikala si bujang hitam yang tak begitu tampan ini mengakiri kata : “Do’a-kan juga saya disini kawan, semoga anak saya lahir sebelum pulang ke indonesia”. Bagaimana bisa pria lajang yang  pernah diharap dalam do’a oleh seorang wanita tanah air di setiap  penghujung malamnya;  ini berucap demikian.

Bualan ini, saya tujukan kepadamu sobat yang masih bertanya-tanya akan makna kata tersebut. Dan untuk kalian para pembaca yang mungkin dapat memetik manfaat. Serta bagimu duhai “kasih” entah itu siapa disana; imma hadhorim, syamali maupun nusantara. Yang jelas gagasan ini terdesit pada suatu malam.

Yang saya lantangkan dihadapan para thullab terbaik dari syaikh Dr. Umar bin Haidarah al-Kastiri, dengan dihadiri beliau langsung dalam jalsah khataman kitab alfiyah zubad. Tatkala ditanya istifadah yang paling membekas. Spontan lisan ini terucap : “ kitab, adalah anak abadimu” kemudian saya menambahkan; “wahai syaikh, saya berharap suatu saat nanti dipertemukan dengan pendamping hidup yang mampu melahirkan 3 kategori anak : anak biologi, anak ideologi dan anak abadi”. Seketika itu mereka serempak mengamini, mengijabahi. Ya Allahummastajib ...... berikut penjelasannya :

Anak biologi.

_______ Hakekat anak adalah anak biologis. Meskipun kategori-kategori lain lebih baik, tetap saja, seorang anak darah daging adalah dambaan setiap Bani adam. Karena anak yang sholeh adalah aset akherat berharga. Darinya orang tua mendapatkan do’a mengalir setelah bermayam di pusara (Muslim. 3084), darinya orang tua dapat dientaskan dari neraka melalui syafa’at (Ahmad. 23433, Muslim. 4766), darinya orang tua dapat dipakaikan mahkota dan baju keagungan (al-Hakim, Abu Dawud. 1241), pula orang tua dapat mendudukkan anak-anaknya selaras derajat di akherat kelak (ar-Ra’d : 23). Maka dari itu, tidak ada kata “mantan” bagi hubungan bapak-anak. Saling berkasih sayang, berbangga diri, berpihak apapun keadaanya, dan saling mewarisi tabiat. Wajar saja demikian, karena dijadikan kecintaan terhadap anak sebagai tabiat manusia (Ali Imran : 14) dijadikan sebagai penyejuk mata bagi orang tua (Al-Furqon : 74) serta merupakan bunga rampai kehidupan dunia (Al-Kahfi : 46).

Bahkan, diantara tujuan utama pernikahan juga berkaitan dengan dzuriyat. Menjaga kemurnian anak biologis agar selaras dalam keyakinan, keturunan dan ketaatan. Maka dari itu Nabi Ibrahim tatkala menitipkan istri dan anaknya di lembah gersang Makkah, beliau senantiasa berdo’a agar keturunannya dijauhkan dari keyakinan yang menyimpang (Ibrahim : 35).

Menakjubkan, Dr. Musthofa Bugho menulis dalam kitabnya “Fikih Manhaji”, karena sebab anak biologis, dibolehkan bagi suami menduakan istri dengan akad yang sah. Sang kekasih hati Nabi agung Ibrahim; Sarah, memberikan kita sebuah suri tauladan, merelakan Suaminya mempersunting Hajar untuk mendapatkan dzuriyah sholihah. Buahnya, ia justru dikaruniai Nabi Ishaq di usianya yang terlampau 1 abad.

Dari sinilah Rasulullah memilahkan kita para pemuda agar mencari para wanita-wanita yang penyayang lagi pemberi keturunan (Abu Dawud : 1754). Tidak berhenti di situ, beliau juga menganjurkan pesona agama dibanding lain (Bukhori : 4700). Sebab,  istri adalah pendamping hidup serta pendidik bagi anak-anak biologis kita. Hafidz Ibrahim pernah bergurindam :

الأم مدرسة إذا اعددتها..... أعددت شعبا طيب الأعراق

Seorang ibu adalah madrasah, jika engkau persiapkan (dengan baik) ....

Sejatinya, kau telah siapkan bangsa yang baik sejak dini ...

Saya sendiri belajar banyak melalui kitab tulisan syaikh Musthofa bin Hasani as-Siba’, yang mana, ia juga belajar langsung dari eksperimen kehidupan, (هكذا علمتني الحياة) “beginilah hidup mengajariku”. dalam salah satu fragmen tulisannya tersebut, seolah membisikkan saya. Berhati-hatilah dalam memilih (calon) ibu karena :

“Rendahnya akal ibu menumbuhkan anak yang teledor, rendahnya agama menumbuhkan anak yang fasiq, rendahnya amanah menumbuhkan anak yang berkhianat, rendahnya kecantikannya menumbuhkan anak yang sholeh. jika dalam seorang ibu itu terkumpul agama, akal dan keindahan maka akan menumbuhkan tokoh besar. Saya kira karakter tersebut tidak ada kecuali pada hurr iin (bidadari).” He..he..he.

Ah, apa iya, saya harus bersabar membujang hanya untuk mendapatkan wanita sempurna (bidadari). Hmmm. Saya rasa tidak. Tapi sekali lagi saya terhentak dengan segmen lain kitab. Beliau berliteral :

“Setiap yang dibangun oleh ayah yang cerdik dalam pendidikan selama bertahun-tahun, dapat dengan mudah diruntuhkan oleh ibu dalam beberapa hari.” Apa maknanya, saya kurang paham, sekali lagi saya hanya bisa menerka.

Jadi, mau tidak mau harus tetap memilih diantara sekian wanita yang tidak sempurna itu; memilah sesuai petunjuk Rasulullah. Agar mampu melahirkan anak-anak biologis yang sejalan dengan ayahnya. Karena “Buah tidak akan jatuh, jauh dari pohonnya”.

Terkadang saya juga tergeleng-geleng mentela’ah beberapa sirah para tokoh. Betapa membuat saya membenarkan peribahasa diatas. Bagaimana tidak, dahulu banyak didapati silsilah bapak-anak dengan kesamaan keunggulan. Muhammad bin Abdurrahman bin Abu Bakar bin Abu Qohafah; empat keturunan yang menjadi sahabat Rasulullah. Ismail bin Hammad bin Abu Hanifah; kakek, ayah, anak yang tersohor sebagai Imam fikih. Bilal (qodhi Bashroh) bin Abu Burdah (qodhi Kufah) bin ABu Musa (qodhi Qodhi amm Umar bin khotob); yang ketiganya saling mewarisi keahlian qadha’. Said bin Abdurrahman bin Hassan bin Tsabit bin Mundzir bin Haram; tujuah turunan berdarah sya’ir. Dan yang paling terkenal adalah Muntashir bin Mutawakil bin Mu'tashim bin Rasyid bin Mahdi bin Manshur; 6 pewaris tahta dari Sang Ayah.

Mau saya jadikan apa anak-anak saya kedepan, itu tergantung siapa saya dan bagaimanakah saya nantinya. Ini juga berlaku dengan kaliau wahai para bujang senasib. Oleh karenanya, pantaskan diri, tentukan visi dan pilihlah dengan teliti.

Anak ideologi.

_________ Bukan dihubungkan dengan nasab, bukan pula dihubungkan dengan darah daging. Anak-anak ideologis adalah anak hasil didikan kita, menerima pengaruh positif dari kita dan memberikan manfaat kepada orang lain. Mereka tak terikat dengan waktu, tak terpaut dengan jumlah tertentu, bahkan sebagian tak ternilai pahalanya di timbangan amal. Bilamana anak kandung kita  tak selalunya menurut, mendo’akan, serta terbatas. Bilamana buku-buku kita tak selamanya dibaca. Anak ideologislah yang selalu berdiri membela, menolong, menegarkan langkah kita. Selalunya berqudwah dengan kita, menerima nasehat, arahan dan saran dari kita serta menyebarkan ilmu-ilmu kita, sebagaimana yang dilakukan oleh Abu Yusuf terhadap Imam Abu Hanifah.

Banyak-banyak istilah untuk menyebut eksistensi seorang ayah ideologis; seperti kyai, guru, tokoh masyarakat, para pendiri dan pendahulu. Tapi saya lebih mempopulerkan istilah yang digaungkan oleh Bakr bin Abdullah bu Zaid dalam kitabnya Hilyah tholibul ilmi. Beliau menyebut mereka sebagai “bapak ideologis” dan “bapak spiritual”. Inilah salah satu jariyah amal bagi kita yang tak akan terputus “ilmu yang bermanfaat”, cobalah lihat kembali nukilan sabda Nabi dari Abu Hurairah dibeberapa kitab hadits seperti Muslim (3084), Abu Dawud (2494), tirmidzi (1297), nasai (3591), Ahmad (8489), Darimi (558).

Salah satu sarana utama menjadi “bapak ideologi” adalah belajar dan mengajar langsung, antara guru dan murid, kyai dan santri, syaikh dan tholib. Statement ini bukan dari saya, saya hanyalah menukil dari bapak sejarah dan peradaban dunia Ibn Kholdun al-Hadromi al-Yamani dalam kitabnya yang fenomental “tarikh”. Beliau mengungkap : “manusia mendapatkan ilmu pengetahuan, akhlaq, dan apa yang menghiasi diri mereka dari madzhab dan fadhilah; baik melalui belajar, mengajar, ilqa’, hikayat dan talqin mubasyir. Tapi capaian kemampuan melalui mubasyarah (tatap muka langsung) dan talqin (dikte) lebih kuat mengakar dan paten. Maka semakin banyak kadar syaikh seseorang semakin kuat pula kemampuan dan kepatenannya.”

Bahkan dahulu para pendahulu sangat membenci “Tasyyikh shohifah” yakni mendudukan buku pada kedudukan syaikh dan ustadz, “mereka berkata : mulanya ilmu itu ada di dada-dada para rijal (ulama’) kemudian berpindah ke buku-buku, jadilah kunci ilmu ada pada rijal, inilah yang menuntut mendapatkannya dari para rijal” demikianlah arahan langsung Imam Syathibi dalam Muwafaqotnya.

Maka tak heran sahabat agung Ibn Mas’ud menyebutkan bahwa manusia berhutang besar pada 3 golongan, salah satunya adalah “guru yang mengajari anak-anak mereka dan mengambil darinya imbalan, kalaulah bukan karena mereka niscaya manusia akan buta”. Inilah sebabnya seorang guru memiliki kedudukan spesisal di hati para murid. Tak tergantikan oleh siapapun. Yah, meskipun bersifat temporal terpaut berbilang generasi, tapi tetap pengaruhnya sangatlah luar biasa.

Saya sendiri iri dengan Abi, sosok yang tak begitu ku kenal di rumah, namun begitu harum diluar. Menjadi bapak biologis bagi 8 anaknya namun juga metafora akan bapak ideologis bagi banyak orang. Sederhana saja kiprahnya, merintis pondok bersama kawannya di ujung desa “sedayulawas”. Mengajar dan berdakwah. Saya iri karena di hari tutup usianya, bunga itu telah menjadi buah, begitu banyak manusia yang melawat. Jalanan penuh sesak, di masjid orang-orang bergantian mensholatkan, kata belasungkawa dan do’a tak henti-hentinya mengalir. Saya bertanya-tanya “Apakah kiprah yang telah engkau lakukan wahai abi, sehingga membuat mereka rela hadir meski dipautkan kota”. Ya Allah jadikanlah saya menapaki jejak beliau dan menjadi salah satu buah diantara ribuah buah itu. (لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ...Bukhori. 71).

Anak abadi.

_________ Istilah anak abadi merupakan istilah masyhur yang dipopulerkan oleh Imam Ibn Jauzi dalam kitab Shoid khotir-nya. Dan yang dimaksud dari anak abadi adalah karya tulis. Beliau berucap : “Tashnif alim waladuhu mukhollad”. (قَدْ مَاتَ قَوْمٌ وَهُمْ فِي النَّاسِ أحياءُ) sebagian kaum telah meniggal namun di hati manusia, mereka tetap hidup”.

Setiap orang akan ada dua pilihan setelah kematiaannya, baik itu dilupa ataupun dikenang. Dikenangpun karena apa. Apakah karena budi luhur, seperti beberapa tokoh yang bahkan dijadikan matsal oleh bangsa arab. Seperti sedermawan Hathim ath-Tha’i, secerdik Iyyas bin Mu’awiyah, dan sejujur Abu Dzar al-Ghifari. Atau kerena perangai buruknya, semisal; sebodoh Habnaqoh dan sedusta Musailamah al-Hanafi.

Demikianlah para ulama’ memilih dikenang karena ilmu. Betapa banyak ulama’ yang tidak semasa dengan kita namun seolah dekat di hati, seakan hidup bersama. Karena sebab karya-karya mereka yang kekal hingga kini. Sebut saja mitsal Imam Suyuthi dengan usia rata-rata manusia biasa (60 tahun-1445-1505 M) beliau mampu menorehkan 600 kitab di beberapa disiplin ilmu. (ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ).

Kembali ke Imam Ibn Jauzi. Beliau memiliki ungkapan menarik tentang menulis, disebutkan : "saya memandang diantara pemikiran yang cemerlang, bahwa manfaat menulis lebih banyak dari pada mengajar langsung; karena saya mengajar langsung  seumur hidupku beberapa murid saja, tapi saya mengajar “melalui tulisanku” banyak kalangan yang tak terhingga nantinya, buktinya intifa’ manusia dari karya-karya mutaqoddimin lebih banyak dibanding istifadah dari masyayikh mereka.”

Lantas tunggu apa lagi wahai para kyai, tuanguru, ustadz, mua’llim. Mari sisihkan waktu untuk menorehkan sedikit kenangan untuk generasi mendatang. Saya juga merasa terheran-heran dengan beberapa alumnus-alumnus timur tengah. Kredibelitas mereka dalam keilmuan dan ilqo’ melangit tinggi tak tertandingi. Tapi dalam aspek literasi, seakan mereka awwam. Padahal saya tahu benar, 2 tahun setengah saya hidup di Yaman, banyak mendapati banyak masyayikh yang produktif menulis buku dan berkelas. “afala yata’atsaru bi masyayikhihim”.

Apakah mereka mengikuti madzhab Imam Ibn Jauzi yang menyarankan menulis di usia 40 tahun. setelah dirasa cukup menuntut ilmu dan menghafal sehingga membentuk cawan ilmu dalam berfikir. jika lemah maka memulai di usia 50 atau bahkan 60. kemudian setelah 60 tahun belajar lagi, mendengar hadits dan ilmu, menyedikitkan menulis hingga umur 70, jika telah lebih dari 70 kemudian fokus pada mengingat akhirat, mempersiapkan bekal, sekedar mengajar yang dibutuhkan atau tulisan yang dihajatkan, fokosnya harus pada tazkiyyah jiwa, intropeksi semua ketergelinciran, dan apa yang telah dikerjakan”. Wallahu a’lam.

Benar, tapi itu dalam ranah tulisan khazanah keislaman yang dapat diwariskan. Tipe tulisan ini tidaklah sembarangan ditorehkan. memerlukan keikhlasan dan kualitas ilmu yang tinggi. Sekali lagi Ibn Jauzi mengarahkan kita; “tujuan dari menulis itu bukan hanya mengumpulkan data sedemikian rupa, tapi tulisan adalah rahasia yang Allah tampakkan kepada hambanya yang dikehendaki, sehingga membantunya dalam analisa, mengumpulkan apa yang tercecer, menata apa yang tecerai, menjelaskan apa yang diremehkan, inilah tulisan yang bermanfaat.” Oleh karena itu saya memilki semboyan “Tulisan tanda kecerdasan”. Orang cerdas belum tentu bisa menulis, tapi penulis pastilah ia cerdas.

Sekali lagi, kawan-kawan thullab ilmi, masih banyak ranah tulisan yang mudah dikerjakan dan dibutuhkan segera oleh umat. Seperti tulisan-tulisan dakwah, tema-tema musiman yang berulang setiap tahun atau tulisan-tulisan kritikal kepada para penyebar syubhat. Kalaulah bukan kalian, siapa lagi.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Terlebih lagi bilamana kita diberi pendamping yang seprofesi. Saling berkolaborasi dan berimprovisasi dalam melahirkan anak-anak biologi, ideologi dan abadi. Kita butuh sebuah rahim yang baik untuk melahirkan anak biologis, kita butuh pendamping yang setia untuk bisa menegarkan anak ideologis, dan kita butuh rival sejalan untuk bisa mendampingi lahirnya anak abadi.

Offshore Pipeline Market Research Report - Global Forecast till 2024

Market Highlights

Offshore pipelines are either below the seabed or inside a trench placed on the seabed. They are connected to the land with the help of a process platform or a wellhead. Such pipelines are used to transfer oil through closed tubes in the oil & gas industry. They form one of the fastest and reliable modes of transporting offshore oil and gas. The advantages of offshore pipelines include improved efficiency and oil capacity.

The increasing demand for natural gas in Asia-Pacific and rising investments in offshore pipeline infrastructure are expected to drive the market for offshore pipeline market during the forecast period. The demand of natural gas is rising in Asia-Pacific owing to the increase in the use of natural gas in various industries. As per the data published in BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019, natural gas production in Asia-Pacific grew from 607.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2017 to 631.7 bcm in 2018, with a growth rate of 4.0% annually. Moreover, as per the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Asian market is going to be one of the prominent regional markets for natural gas. Moreover, in June 2019, Inpex Corporation (Japan) signed a contract worth USD 20 billion with the Indonesian government for the Abadi LNG project to produce approximately 9.5 million tons of LNG, annually. Moreover, in Australia, Chevron Corporation (US) announced the offshore development of the Gorgon natural gas project, worth USD 18-20 billion. It is planned to be located on the northwest coast of Western Australia with the objective to produce 15.6 million tonnes per annum of natural gas. Therefore, the transportation and production of natural gas is expected to increase the use of offshore pipelines. Such factors lead to the growth of the offshore pipeline market during the forecast period.
