			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Cerita Pendek: Cinta Sejati</h2>
<p>By cK</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Disclaimer:</strong></span> Postingan panjang. Harap bersiap-siap meluangkan waktu untuk cerita pendek ini…</p>
<p>Cerita ini merupakan kisah nyata seorang tante yang <a href="http://chikastuff.wordpress.com/">saya</a> temui di <a href="http://chikastuff.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/berlibur-ke-bali/">Bali</a>, tetapi detail yang saya sebutkan mungkin tidak sesuai dengan kisah aslinya. Saya menuliskan apa yang saya tangkap dari yang diceritakan tante. Sebut saja Ami (bukan nama sebenarnya). Tante Ami bercerita mengenai pengalaman hidupnya ketika masa kuliah.</p>
<p>Sekitar dua puluh tahun yang lalu, Ami sedang menjalankan semester terakhir dan berusaha menyelesaikan skripsi. Disaat itu pula, 2 minggu yang akan datang, Ami akan dipersunting oleh seorang pria yang bernama Iman (bukan nama sebenarnya).</p>
<p>Ami dan Iman telah berpacaran selama 7 tahun. Iman merupakan teman SD Ami. Mereka telah kenal selama 14 tahun. Masa 7 tahun adalah masa pertemanan, dan kemudian dilanjutkan ke masa pacaran. Mereka bahkan telah bertunangan dan 2 minggu ke depan, Ami dan Iman akan melangsungkan ijab kabul.</p>
<p>Entah mimpi apa semalam, tiba-tiba Ami dikejutkan oleh suatu berita.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333333;">Adiknya Iman: Mbak Ami, Mbak Ami. Mas Iman…Mas Iman….kena musibah!<br />
Ami: Innalillahi wa inna illahi roji’un…</span></p></blockquote>
<p><em>Saat itu Ami tidak mengetahui musibah apa yang menimpa Iman. Kemudian sang adik melanjutkan beritanya…</em></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333333;">Adiknya Iman: Mas Iman…kecelakaan…dan..meninggal…<br />
Ami: Innalillahi wa inna illahi roji’un…</span></p></blockquote>
<p><em>…dan Ami kemudian pingsan…</em></p>
<p>Setelah bangun, Ami dihadapkan oleh mayat tunangannya. Ami yang shock berat tak bisa berkata apa-apa. Bahkan tidak ada air mata yang mengalir.</p>
<p>Ketika memandikan jenazahnya, Amit terdiam. Ami memeluk tubuh Iman yang sudah dingin dengan begitu erat dan tak mau melepaskannya hingga akhirnya orang tua Iman mencoba meminta Ami agar tabah menghadapi semua ini.</p>
<p>Setelah dikuburkan, Ami tetap terdiam. Ia berdoa khusyuk di depan kuburan Iman.</p>
<p>Sampai seminggu ke depan, Ami tak punya nafsu makan. Ia hanya makan sedikit. Ia pun tak banyak bicara. Menangis pun tidak. Skripsinya terlantar begitu saja. Orangtua Ami pun semakin cemas melihat sikap anaknya tersebut.</p>
<p>Akhirnya bapaknya Ami memarahi Ami. Sang bapak sengaja menekan anak tersebut supaya ia mengeluarkan air mata. Tentu berat bagi Ami kehilangan orang yang dicintainya, tapi tidak mengeluarkan air mata sama sekali. Rasanya beban Ami belum dikeluarkan.</p>
<p>Setelah dimarahi oleh bapaknya, barulah Ami menangis. Tumpahlah semua kesedihan hatinya. Setidaknya, satu beban telah berkurang.</p>
<p><em><strong>…tiga bulan kemudian…</strong></em></p>
<p>Skripsi Ami belum juga kelar. Orangtuanya pun tidak mengharap banyak karena sangat mengerti keadaan Ami. Sepeninggal Iman, Ami masih terus meratapi dan merasa Iman hanya pergi jauh. Nanti juga kembali, pikirnya.</p>
<p>Di dalam wajah sendunya, tiba-tiba ada seorang pria yang tertarik melihat Ami. Satria namanya (bukan nama sebenarnya). Ia tertarik dengan paras Ami yang manis dan pendiam. Satria pun mencoba mencaritahu tentang Ami dan ia mendengar kisah Ami lengkap dari teman-temannya.</p>
<p>Setelah mendapatkan berbagai informasi tentang Ami, ia coba mendekati Ami. Ami yang hatinya sudah beku, tidak peduli akan kehadiran Satria. Beberapa kali ajakan Satria tidak direspon olehnya.</p>
<p>Satria pun pantang menyerah, sampai akhirnya Ami sedikit luluh. Ami pun mengajak Satria ke kuburan Iman. Disana Ami meminta Satria minta ijin kepada Iman untuk berhubungan dengan Ami. Satria yang begitu menyayangi Ami menuruti keinginan perempuan itu. Ia pun berdoa serta minta ijin kepada kuburan Iman.</p>
<p>Masa pacaran Ami dan Satria begitu unik. Setiap ingin pergi berdua, mereka selalu mampir ke kuburan Iman untuk minta ijin dan memberitahu bahwa hari ini mereka akan pergi kemana. Hal itu terus terjadi berulang-ulang. Tampaknya sampai kapanpun posisi Iman di hati Ami tidak ada yang menggeser. Tetapi Satria pun sangat mengerti hal itu dan tetap rela bersanding disisi Ami, walaupun sebagai orang kedua dihati Ami.</p>
<p>Setahun sudah masa pacaran mereka. Skripsi Ami sudah selesai enam bulan yang lalu dan ia lulus dengan nilai baik. Satria pun memutuskan untuk melamar Ami.</p>
<p>Sebelum melamar Ami, Satria mengunjungi kuburan Iman sendirian. Ini sudah menjadi ritual bagi dirinya. Disana ia mengobrol dengan batu nisan tersebut, membacakan yasin, sekaligus minta ijin untuk melamar Ami. Setelah itu Satria pulang, dan malamnya ia melamar Ami.</p>
<p>Ami tentu saja senang. Tapi tetap saja, di hati Ami masih terkenang sosok Iman. Ami menceritakan bagaimana perasaannya ke Satria dan bagaimana posisi Iman dihatinya. Satria menerima semua itu dengan lapang dada. Baginya, Ami adalah prioritas utamanya. Apapun keinginan Ami, ia akan menuruti semua itu, asalkan Ami bahagia.</p>
<p>Ami pun akhirnya menerima lamaran Satria.</p>
<p><strong><em>…beberapa bulan setelah menikah…</em></strong></p>
<p>Di rumah yang damai, terpampang foto perkawinan Ami dan Satria. Tak jauh dari foto tersebut, ada foto perkawinan Ami ukuran 4R. Foto perkawinan biasa, namun ada yang janggal. Di foto tersebut terpampang wajah Ami dan Iman.</p>
<p>Ya, Ami yang masih terus mencintai Iman mengganti foto pasangan disebelahnya dengan wajah Iman. Foto itupun terletak tak jauh dari foto perkawinan Satria dan Ami. Sekilas terlihat foto tersebut hasil rekayasa yang dibuat oleh Ami. Namun Satria mengijinkan Ami meletakkan foto tersebut tak jauh dari foto perkawinan mereka.</p>
<p>Bagaimanapun Ami tetap akan mencintai Iman sekaligus mencintai Satria, suami tercintanya. Dan Satria merupakan pria yang memiliki hati sejati. Baginya, cinta sejatinya adalah Ami. Apapun yang Ami lakukan, ia berusaha menerima semua keadaan itu. Baginya tak ada yang perlu dicemburui dari batu nisan. Ia tetap menjalankan rumah tangganya dengan sakinah, mawaddah dan warramah, hingga saat ini…</p>
<p>Mendengar cerita diatas, terus terang saya merasa sedih, terharu, sekaligus miris. Saya kagum dengan sosok Satria yang ternyata benar-benar mencintai Tante Ami. Saya juga mengerti kepedihan Tante Ami ketika ditinggalkan tunangannya. Tentu rasanya sulit ditinggalkan oleh orang yang sudah membekas dihati.</p>
<p>Akankah ada pria-pria seperti Satria? Saya harap semoga banyak pria yang akan tetap setia kepada seorang wanita, menerima mereka apa adanya.</p>

<p>Ada bayang yang tak pernah pergi<br />
Ada nama yang s’lalu mendiami<br />
serta seutas wajah yang menerangi<br />
Pada hati…bangkitkan semangat diri<br />
tuk lalui hari-hari</p>
<p>Meski kutau bagiku takkan mungkin lagi ada dirimu<br />
Tetap saja kubiarkan engkau mendiami seluruh taman asa<br />
di antara kuntum bunga mawar yang pernah ada diantara kita<br />
Merekah indah diantara ‘harap dan nyata’</p>
<p>Ada keyakinan yang tak terbeli<br />
Oleh ribuan hari-hari penantian hati<br />
Susuri hidup… walau tertatih seorang diri<br />
dan kau tetap disana, diami sudut paling sunyi<br />
dan suci…</p></div>

Sejak engkau melangkah bahagia<br />

Semuanya tertinggal</p>

<p>Of his early childhood, Obama has recalled, &#8220;That my father looked nothing like the people around me — that he was black as pitch, my mother white as milk — barely registered in my mind.&#8221;<sup class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#cite_note-16"><span>[</span>17<span>]</span></a></sup> In his 1995 memoir, he described his struggles as a young adult to reconcile social perceptions of his <a title="Multiracial" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiracial">multiracial</a> heritage.<sup class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#cite_note-17"><span>[</span>18<span>]</span></a></sup> He wrote that he used <a title="Alcoholic beverage" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_beverage">alcohol</a>, <a title="Cannabis (drug)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_%28drug%29">marijuana</a> and <a title="Cocaine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine">cocaine</a> during his teenage years to &#8220;push questions of who I was out of my mind.&#8221;<sup class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#cite_note-18"><span>[</span>19<span>]</span></a></sup> At the <a title="Civil Forum on the Presidency" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Forum_on_the_Presidency">2008 Civil Forum on the Presidency</a>, Obama identified his high-school drug use as his &#8220;greatest moral failure.&#8221;<sup class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#cite_note-19"><span>[</span>20<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

Reflecting later on his formative years in Honolulu, Obama wrote: &#8220;The opportunity that Hawaii offered — to experience a variety of cultures in a climate of mutual respect — became an integral part of my world view, and a basis for the values that I hold most dear.&#8221;<sup class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#cite_note-20"><span>[</span>21<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

Assalamu’alaikum wa rahmatullah Pak Ustadz<br />
Keadaan di Palestina saat ini sangat memprihatinkan dan sangat membuat saya trenyuh, tetapi apakah saya hanya bisa berdoa dan meratap? Karena merupakan kewajiban saya sebagai muslim untuk membantu saudara-saudara saya di sana.<br />
Mohon bantuan Pak Ustadz untuk memberitahukan saya tindakan konkrit apa yang saat ini seharusnya dapat saya lakukan, karena mungkin saya tidak dapat menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan saudara-saudara saya di Palestina ketika di Akhirat nanti mengenai kelalaian saya ketika di dunia tehadap keadaan mereka.</p>
<p>Terima kasih, assalammu’alaikum wa rahmatullah.</p>

Jawaban</p>
<p>Assalamu ‘alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,</p>
<p>Dr. Nawwaf Takruri yang pernah datang ke Eramuslim untuk bersilaturrahim beberapa waktu yang lalu, menulis sebuah buku yang akan menjawab pertanyaan Anda. Buku itu berjudul Al-Jihadu bil-mali fi sabilillah, yang artinya jihad dengan harta di jalan Allah. Sudah diterjemahkan oleh salah satu penerbit di negeri kita.</p>
<p>Dalam bukunya itu, beliau banyak menjelaskan tentang bagaimana bentuk kesertaan nyata buat kita, yaitu dengan cara ikut berjihad dengan harta, sebelum dengan nyawa.</p>
<p>Yang menarik, ternyata hal yang sama dilakukan juga oleh komunitas yahudi di berbagai negeri. Kekuatan keuangan adalah salah satu sendi pokok ketahanan mereka dalam menjajah Palestina.</p>
<p>Sejak sebelum masa pendudukan, komunitas yahudi di seluruh dunia sudah mengumpulkan harta untuk ‘menyogok’ sultan Abdul Hamid II di Istanbul, agar beliau berkenan menyerahkan wilayah Palestina. Sogokan itu tentu saja ditolak mentah-mentah oleh Sultan yang legendaris itu.</p>
<p>Tapi komunitas yahudi tidak putus asa, mereka tetap mengumpulkan harta untuk diserakan kepada penguasa Inggris yang nota bene sedang menjajah Palestina saat itu.</p>
<p>Mereka mendirikan berbagai yayasan yang secara khusus bertugas mengumpulkan dana dari seluruh komunitas yahudi dari seluruh dunia. Di antaranya adalah Jewish Agency dan Jewsih National Fund. Mereka juga menerima bantuan dana dari Kristen Zionis yang saat ini sedang menjadi penguasa di Amerika dengan kelompok Konservatif Baru. Dan salah satu tokoh utamanya adalah George Walker Bush, sang Presiden.</p>
<p>Dr. Nawaf menceritakan bahwa orang-orang yahudidi Palestina menyediakan ruangan khusus di rumah mereka yang dibiarkan tidak terawat dan mereka selalu berdiri di depanya pagi dan petang. Di ruangan itulah mereka bersembahyang bersama anak-anaknya dan mengucapkan, “Kuil Sulaiman telah hancur maka kita harus membangunnya kembali.”</p>
<p>Setelah itu mereka menghampiri kotak tabungan dan menyisihkan sebagian pengeluaran hariannya. Tabungan itu mereka kumpulkan lalu diserahkan kepada Lembaga Keuangan Nasional Yahudi.</p>
<p>Praktek ini dilakukan oleh semua orang yahudi, bukan hanya yang kaya tapi juga yang miskin pun melakukannya. Dan untuk cita-cita itu, mereka rela hidup hemat, termasuk menghemat makan dan minum, karena merasa terpanggil untuk mendukung lembaga keuangan itu.</p>
<p>Kisah lain yang dituturkan dan bole juga kita jadikan renungan adalah kisah yang diceritakan oleh seorang kakek. Kakek ini pernah bertamu ke rumah salah satu tetangganya yang yahudi.Yang menarik, si pemilik rumah ketika menyuguhkan teh untuk mereka berdua, hanya memberi gula buat tamunya, sedangkan untuk dirinya sendiri, dia malah tidak memakai gula. Si kakek yang menjadi tamu tidak enak hati dan bertanya, “Mengapa Anda tidak pakai gula sedangkan saya kamu beri gula?”</p>
<p>Jawabannya ternyata sangat menarik. Si pemilik rumah yang yahudi itu mengatakan bahwa dia berhemat untuk tidak minum teh pakai gula, untuk bisa menyumbang buat perjuangan Israel di Palestina.</p>
<p>“Kami sekeluarga 5 orang dan setiap hari kami minum teh 2 kali. Setiap minum teh, seorang di antara kami bisa menghabiskan 2 cangkir teh.Ini berarti dalam sehari seorang di antara kami minum 4 cangkir teh. Jika jumlah ini dikalikan 5 sesuai jumlah keluarga kami, maka dalam sehari kami akan menghabiskan 20 cangkir teh. Mengingat setiap cangkir teh membuthkan dua batang gula, maka total gula yang akan kami habiskan dalam sehari adalah 40 batang. Maka kami berhemat tidak minum teh pakai gula, dan uangnya kami berikan untuk penanggulangan bantuan yahudi yang miskin.”</p>
<p>Luar biasa, yahudi saja bisa kompak melakukan solidaritas seperti itu, seolah-olah mereka memang benar-benar satu tubuh yang bila satu merasakan sakit, sekujur tubuh pun akan ikut merasakannya.</p>
<p>Bayangkan bila umat Islam yang berjumlah 1, 5 milyar ini melakukan hal yang sama, tentu masalah dana perjuangan Palestina sudah selesai sejak dulu.</p>
<p>Bahkan salah seorang teman sambil bercanda bilang begini, “Kalau umat Islam kompak, urusan Israel di Palestina mudah saja penyelesaiannya. Coba kita (maaf) kencingi saja yahudi itu secara kompak dan bersama-sama, pasti pemukiman yahudi di Palestina itu banjir dengan kencingnya 1, 5 milyar manusia. Apalagi bangsa kita yang doyan pete dan jengkol, pastilah yahudi-yahudi itu pada kocar kacir ibarat hama kena semprot pestisida.”</p>
<p>Karena itu silahkan anda sumbangkan serupiah dua rupiah uang anda untuk pejuangan saudara kita di Palestina, bila anda orang tak berpunya. Dan silahkan keluarkan semilyar dua milyar kalau Allah memang meluaskan rizki anda. Itu tindakan yang paling mudah yang bisa anda lakukan kapan saja, tanpa harus berangkat ke sana.</p>
<p>Setidaknya ketika anda makan-makan di restoran, saat berdoa jangan lupa ingat wajah anak-anak tak berdosa di Palestina yang sedang meregang ajal karena dilempari bom di taman bermain sekolah mereka oleh yahudi laknatullah.</p>
<p>Berikut ini beberapa tips menarik yang boleh juga anda pertimbangkan:</p>
<p>* Salurkan zakat profesi anda ke Palestina, bila anda termasuk yang cenderung berpendapat adanya zakat profesi. Dan bila anda bukan termasuk yang mendukung adanya zakat profesi, setidaknya infaq dan shadaqah anda arakan ke Palestina.<br />
* Ubahlah sistem belanja rumah tangga anda dari gaya hidup kelasa atas menjadi kelas menengah. Dan jadikan selisih pengeluaran itu untuk keperluan jihad dan mujahidin<br />
* Belilah barang-barang buatan dalam negeri sendiri dan upayakan tidak membeli barang import kalau memang tidak terlalu mendesak<br />
* Lepaskan sebagian perhiasan untuk jihad nyata di Palestina<br />
* Kalau anda sudah melaksanakan haji dan umrah wajib, sebaiknya tahan dulu keinginan jalan-jalan untuk haji dan umrah sunnah dan alihkan dana itu buat perjuangan Palestina<br />
* Berpuasalah sehari atau dua hari dalam seminggu, dan uang untuk makan itu sisihkan buat perjuangan Palestina<br />
* Ubahlah kebiasaan tabzir dalam pesta-pesta, seperti walimah, buka puasa bersama dan hajatan lainnya dan sisihkan dananya untuk Palestina<br />
* Kurangi kebiasaan mengundang makan teman bisnis atau teman sejawat, serta kebiasaan mentraktir ini dan itu, karena ada orang yang jauh lebih membutuhkan di Palestina<br />
* Gantilah hadiah bingkisan atau bunga dengan hadiah berupa kuitansi sumbangan untuk infaq Palestina<br />
* Gantilah sebungukus rokok yang anda hisap (bila anda perokok) dengan uang sebesar itu buat dana Palestina. Dan memang sebaiknya anda tidak merokok demi kesehatan anda sediri<br />
* Obatilah diri anda sekeluarga dengan banyak berinfaq fi sabilillah<br />
* Kurangi sebagian dari pakaian dan perabot mewah, gunakan dananya untuk infak.<br />
* Kalau anda menyembelih hewan qurban, ada baiknya kirim dananya saja ke Palestina, seandainya di wilayah anda jumlah kambing kurban sudah berlebihan.</p>
<p>Dan bila anda ahli bikin roket, maka sebaiknya anda bantu saudara-saudara kita di sana yang memang sedang terus mengembangkan teknik pembuatan roket. Saat ini yang baru bisa buat berjarak 25 km. Dan hasilnya lumayan, jutaan penjajah yahudi sekarang sudah berada pada jarak tembak dan jangkauan roket-roket itu.</p>
<p>Dana Yahudi untuk Investasi Bidang Politik dan Kebijakan Luas Negeri AS</p>
<p>Satu hal penting lainnya dalam urusan jihad dengan harta, ternyata apa yang dilakukan oleh yahudi dengan dana mereka sudah jauh melebihi dari apa yang pernah bisa kita bayangkan. Betapa tidak, uang yang mereka kumpulkan itu mereka investasikan untuk bisa membeli kebijakan politik di negeri Adidaya Amerika.</p>
<p>Lebih dari 60% dana kampanye Partai Demokrat Amerika yang dikumpulkan oleh Jimmy Carter dan Bill Clinton berasal dari investasi kalangan yahudi. Sehingga wajar bila dari 125 anggota Dewan Keuangan Nasional Partai Demokrat pada masa pemerintahan Jimmy Cater (1977-1981), 70 orang di antaranya adalah orang yahudi.</p>
<p>Dan di masa Richard Nixon, 60% dana kampanye mereka juga di dapat dari investasi kalangan yahudi.</p>
<p>Untuk memenangkanCliton, sebuah jamuan makan malam yang dihadiri undangan para yahudi, bisa terkumpul dana 3, 5 juta dollar Amerika. Jamuan itu dihadiri oleh 700 undangan dan setiap undangan membayar biaya kehadiran antara 500 USD hingga 120.000 USD.</p>
