Name: Mohammed
Father: Ali Ibn Musa Al-Ridha
Most Famous titles: Al-Jawad (Generous man), Al-Taqi (Pious man), Babul-Murad
Nickname: Abu Jaafar
Place & Date of Birth: Madinah on the 10th Rajab, 195 A.H., approx. the 8th April, 811
Lifetime: 25 years.
Duration of Imamate: 17 years.
Date of Martyrdom: 29th Thil-Qi’da, 220 A.H., approx. 24th Oct., 835 A.D.
Cause of Death: poisoned to death by his wife with instigation from Al-Mo’tasim, the Abbasid caliph.
Place of Burial: Quraish Cemetery (currently, Kadhimiya District), just beside his grandfather Imam Musa Al-Kadhim, Baghdad, Iraq.

The Prophet (PBUH) had said:

“My father be sacrificed on the mother of the 9th Imam who will be a pure and pious Nubian.”

Imam Al-Jawad A.S. was the unprecedented miracle of his time. He undertook the responsibilities of imamate after his father (Imam Al-Ridha A.S. ) when he was only 9 years old. It was a matter that raised meditation and wonder even by the followers of his father when he was asked about his successor and he pointed to his young child. It is true that they knew about the stories of Jesus Christ (Isa A.S.) and John s/o Zakariya A.S. before, through the Holy Quran. But one is accustomed to believe what one sees and feels by oneself that is usual and familiar. Seeing with their very eyes the sign of Allah that they cannot argue against, they had no alternative but to believe.

That was one of the features that made Imam Al-Jawad distinguished among other Infallible Imams. First, his birth was late, a matter which made the followers anxious. Second, he undertook imamate when he was still young in age, so miraculous in arguments, wisdom and knowledge. Finally he died when he was only twenty five.

2 photos, I taken from the event I mentioned before.
(I reached home safely, if you want to know).

Acara dihadiri lebih dari 150 peserta, dari tiga agama (Muslim, Katolik, dan Protestan).
Tapi, saya tidak berniat membagi tentang kesimpulan acara tersebut disini.
Biar saya simpan hikmahnya dalam hati, untuk saya renungkan.

One thing, I love the atmosphere. Terasa begitu tenang.
(Oh, I still remember how nice the smell of the Catholic woman inside of me. Curious on what perfume she put on her body.)
Begitulah selayaknya kita; memberi kedamaian pada alam semesta.
Tiada persaudaraan yang lebih indah daripada saling menghormati dan menghargai seluruh umat manusia, apapun agamanya.
Bukankah ALLAH sudah pilihkan syariat untuk setiap agama di muka bumi ini ?
Bukankah kitalah yang sedang diuji untuk saling menghargai dan berlomba-lomba dalam kebaikan ?

“Untuk tiap-tiap umat diantara kamu, Kami berikan aturan dan jalan yang terang. Sekiranya Allah menghendaki, niscaya kamu dijadikanNya satu umat saja, tetapi Allah hendak menguji kamu terhadap pemberianNya kepadamu, maka berlomba-lombalah berbuat kebajikan, hanya kepada Allah kembali kamu semuanya, lalu diberitahu kepadamua apa yang kamu perselisihkan itu.
(Al Qur’an surah al-Maidah : 48).

I’m Muslim. No, I don’t hate other religion.

Tonight;
Invited to the event: an open dialogue about “Mother Maria” in the perspective of Muslim, Catholic, and Protestant” in one of church in Bandung.

Details? Nope! As we know some of FPI guys have a greet skill in creeping, I must be more careful in publishing about pluralism. At least, I give the clue about the place.

notes; Full body-anti boom-cloth, ready! Just in case, Ehehe.

I (always) personally love a lot of the Iranian women fashion pieces I have seen in the media. I think it looks modest and nice.

Most of Iranian Muslims women wear hijab called chador. This chador is an outer garment worn by many Iranian women and female teenagers in public spaces, a full-body-length semicircle of fabric that is open down the front. This cloth is tossed over the woman’s or girl’s head, but then she holds it closed in the front. So, the chador not covering their face. As I read from some books and heard from Utadz(s), (you can believe this or not) angels in heaven using chador to cover their bodies, not include their face. Wallahu’alam

When I went to Madinah and Makkah last month, I can see them, clearly from my eyes. I talked to some of Irani pilgrims in Madinah about how I love the way they cover their bodies. Though I said, I wouldn’t wear it in Indonesia.
They said, the chador has been worn by many Iranian women since before the Islamic Revolution (1978-1979). After the revolution it became mandatory for women to dress modestly by wearing either the chador or a long cloak called the manteau.

Chador not traditionally black but can look lovely in black. It is often in bright traditional prints or whites. But especially, I love how simple, yet elegant, our Irani sisters look in their black chadors. It was always a cultural sign of a woman’s beauty. I love the way it drapes on them , Masha Allah.

Despite being the most plain garment, I honestly find it the most beautiful!

Menonton Bersama Persija VS Persib

Satu hal yang identik (dan saya sukai) dari beberapa kota di Indonesia adalah kecintaan penduduknya kepada tim sepakbolanya.
Saya pernah tinggal di Palembang, Jakarta, dan Bandung, dan melihat antusiasme penduduknya terhadap sepak bola sangat tinggi.
Kemarin menemani sepupu menonton sepakbola bersama di GOR Cikutra supporter Persib.
Kali ini, Persib dijamu Persija, musuh bebuyutannya. Hehe

Hmm.. I can say, I’m not really a Persib fan.Tapi menyenangkan bisa menemani sepupu dari luar kota, yang sengaja datang ke Bandung untuk nobar (nonton bareng Persija - Persib)
Sudah lama sekali tidak menonton sepakbola bersama supporter, terakhir saya lakukan di Palembang, sekitar tahun 2007. Haha.
Riuh rendah, umpatan, sorak sorai.

Menarik juga, menyaksikan sepupu saya yang sangat “emotional” di setiap bagian pertandingan.
Jadi teringat dulu, zaman masih SMP - Kuliah, saya pun “penggila bola” yang freak.
Tapi saya hanya menonton Liga Inggris dan Liga Italia, Piala Dunia, Liga Champion, dan Piala Eropa. Lebih Seru, menurut saya.
Jagoan saya adalah Manchester United, AC Milan, dan Prancis.
Kliping, atribut, majalah-majalah, dan bahkan baju tim masih terkumpul di rumah.
Waah sudah lama tidak pernah dilihat-lihat lagi, :).

Oh iyha, hasil akhir pertandingan kemarin adalah Persija 2 - 2 Persib.
Yang menarik, gol pertama dicetak Persib di kandang tuan rumah.
Dan goal terakhir dicetak persib untuk menyamakan kedudukan di 2 menit terakhir.

Pulangnya kami berbelanja di Viking Bus-shop.

Kamu, apa tim sepakbola favoritmu ? :)
