Hakikat Hidup


  • Allah ﷻ berfirman dalam surah Al-Hadid tentang hakikat dunia. Allah ﷻ berfirman,

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ

Ketahuilah, sesungguhnya kehidupan dunia itu hanyalah permainan dan senda gurau, perhiasan dan saling berbangga di antara kamu, serta berlomba dalam kekayaan dan anak keturunan, seperti hujan yang tanam-tanamannya mengagumkan para petani; kemudian (tanaman) itu menjadi kering dan kamu lihat warnanya kuning kemudian menjadi hancur. Dan di akhirat (nanti) ada azab yang keras dan ampunan dari Allah serta keridhaan-Nya. Dan kehidupan dunia tidak lain hanyalah kesenangan yang palsu.” 

(QS. Al-Hadid: 20)

My Way <klik link>

"My Way" by Frank Sinatra (March, 1969)

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I am certain

I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I laughed and cried
I had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it's all so amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Cobalah barang sekali dengarkan lagu lawas di atas 👆:

"It is telling all about looking back and proud for what we had been doing; tentang belajar dari babak-babak kehidupan yang telah kita lalui."

and... let me say something, importantly:

"There are only 2 people in this world, that you need to make proud. It's not your mom, not your dad, not your wife, not your kids. It is the 8 year old version of you and the 80 year old version of you."
