Kata-kata Mutiiara

Rezki, Jodoh dan kematian sudah di passtikan....tetapi banyak manusia tidak iklash menjalani kehidupan yang telah difasilitasi dengan janji Alloh.....banyak yang suka marah, emosi, binngung, kwatir, takut, dan mudahnya putus asa dalam menggapai ridolloh.....

Allah sangat percaya dengan manusia...." Aku (Allah) menurut apa yang di prasangkakan manusia" ........tapi sebagian manusia tidak percaya dengan dirinya sendiri apa lagi dengan tuhannya....

Kebahagian sejati adalah mengeluarkan kebahagian abadi itu sendiri yang ada dalam hati manusia ke dunia dan seisinya......

 Tidak mungkin memasukan kebahagian dari glamournya dunia dan seisinya ke dalam hati manusia.......kalau bisa hanya sesaat......

 Dunia dan seisinya sejatinya kosong, tapi banyak orang yang menginginkan kebahagian darinya.......

PMR WIDYA BAKTI NUSANTARA

Palang Merah Remaja ( PMR) smp sekolah di mana saya mengajar sudah beberapa tahun ini vakum ndak ada kegiatan. Tidak ingat kapan ekskul ini berhenti... pertama masuk ke sekolah ini, masih saya lihat anak-anak memakai bedge PMR, tapi kok berwarna kuning ya....seingatku PMR untuk tingkat Madya itu berwarna dasar biru dan ada logo PMR. Saya juga ingat waktu anak-anak bilang Pak masuk nggak PMRnya.... ya masuk....tapi hanya anak 6 kalau nggak salah yang masuk dan setelah itu ndak ada lagi kegiatan.
Samapai akhirnya 3 tahun saya disitu, PMR di sekolahku ndak jalan atau memang nggak ada Pembinanya. Padahal saya waktu buka kantor UKS terkejut melihat peralatan dan perlengkapan PMR yang masih bagus tapi ndak dipakai, saya inggat ketika saya masih di sekolah lama, anak anak yang begitu antusias ikut latihan PMR bahkan pernah memenagkan lomba dengan peralatan dan perlengkapan yang serba minim dan hampir tidak ada. Kalau saja peralatan dan perlengkapan ini ndak dipakai sangat sayang sekali.
Sampai muncul keinginan yang kuat dari anak anak untuk mendirikan dan menggiatkan PMR  kembali lagi sebagai bagian dari ekskul sekolah untuk lebih memberikan manfaat tidak hanya untuk anggota tetapi juga warga sekolah umumnya. Dua minggu latihan ternyata ada undangan untuk mengikuti pelatihan PMR oleh PMI Cabang Nganjuk dalam persiapan JUMBARA PMR Tingkat Kabupaten Nganjuk pada bulan Juni atau Juli. Pelatihan ini hanya seminggu buat anak anak untuk mempersiapkan diri dengan bekal tidak pernah mengikuti PMR sama sekali. Namun dengan semngat menngebu mereka tetap latihan dan tidak berharap terlalu tinggi dengan hasil yang maksimal. Namun ini sudah menjadi suatu hal yang membanggakan bagi mereka untuk lebih berkarya dan berkreatifitas pada waktu yang akan datang. Ammin

Shalat Tahajud dan Manfaatnya

 

 

 

Setiap Muslim seharusnya memiliki keinginan kuat untuk melaksanakan shalat Tahajud setiap malam hingga menjadi terbiasa. Orang-orang saleh zaman dahulu tekun menjalankannya, baik pada musin panas maupun dingin. Mereka memandang seolah-olah shalat Tahajud itu adalah sesuatu yang wajib (HR Tirmidzi).

Jika terlewatkan sekali saja, mereka menganggap itu sebagai musibah yang besar. Pastinya, selain sebagai ‘mesin keimanan’, Tahajud memberikan banyak manfaat besar dalam kehidupan mereka yang istiqamah menjalankannya.

Di antaranya, pertama, untuk menjaga kesehatan. Tidak diragukan lagi, shalat Tahajud menjadi terapi pengobatan terbaik dari berbagai macam penyakit. Karena itu, orang-orang yang membiasakan diri untuk Tahajud akan memiliki daya tahan tubuh sehingga tak mudah terserang penyakit.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Lakukanlah shalat malam karena itu adalah tradisi orang-orang saleh sebelum kalian, sarana mendekatkan diri kepada Allah, pencegah dari perbuatan dosa, penghapus kesalahan, dan pencegah segala macam penyakit dari tubuh." (HR Tirmidzi).

Kedua, menjaga ketampanan atau kecantikan. Setap manusia pasti mendambakan ketampanan atau kecantikan dalam dirinya. Melalui terapi shalat Tahajud, seseorang dapat meraih apa yang didambakannya tanpa mengeluarkan biaya sepersen pun. Yaitu, jaminan ketampanan atau kecantikan yang dihasilkan dari shalat Tahajud tidak terbatas pada tampilan lahir, juga dapat menghasilkan ketampanan atau kecantikan batin.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Barang siapa yang banyak menunaikan shalat malam, maka wajahnya akan terlihat tampan atau cantik di siang harinya.” (HR Ibnu Majah).

Ketiga, shalat Tahajud juga diyakini dapat meningkatkan produktivitas kerja yang berbasis spiritualitas. Karena itu, salah satu program untuk meningkatkan sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang andal secara intelektual, emosional, dan spiritual adalah membiasakan shalat Tahajud pada setiap malamnya.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Setan membuat ikatan pada tengkuk salah seorang di antara kalian ketika tidur dengan tiga ikatan dan setiap kali memasang ikatan dia berkata: ‘Malam masih panjang, maka tidurlah.’ Jika orang tadi bangun lalu berzikir kepada Allah SWT, terlepas satu ikatan. Jika dia berwudhu, terlepas satu ikatan yang lainnya. Dan jika dia melaksanakan shalat, terlepas semua ikatannya. Pada akhirnya, dia akan menjadi segar (produktif) dengan jiwa yang bersih. Jika tidak, dia akan bangun dengan jiwa yang kotor yang diliputi rasa malas.” (HR Bukhari).

Keempat, mempercepat tercapainya cita-cita dan rasa aman. Selain dengan usaha (ikhtiar) secara maksimal guna menggapai cita-cita dan rasa aman, seseorang hendaknya membiasakan diri untuk shalat Tahajud karena doa yang mengiringi Tahajud akan dikabulkan oleh Yang Maha Mengabulkan.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Ketahuilah sesungguhnya Allah tertawa terhadap dua orang laki-laki: Seseorang yang bangun pada malam yang dingin dari ranjang dan selimutnya, lalu ia berwudhu dan melakukan shalat. Allah berfirman kepada para malaikat-Nya, 'Apa yang mendorong hamba-Ku melakukan ini?' Mereka menjawab, 'Wahai Rabb kami, ia melakukan ini karena mengharap apa yang ada di sisi-Mu.'” Allah berfirman, “Sesungguhnya Aku telah memberikan kepadanya apa yang ia harapkan (cita-citakan) dan memberikan rasa aman dari apa yang ia takutkan.” (HR Ahmad).

Labete Romadlon

             Bulan Romadlon telah meninggalkan kita, apa yang telah kita lakukan dan kita dapat dalam bulan Romadlon tergantung dari perbuatan kita lakukan selama sebulan, bulan yang penuh dengan ampunan, ijabah dan berkah. Masing masing individu akan mendapatkan ketiga hal tersebut kalau mau merasakan diluar bulan itu.
             Ada orang yang merasakan ampunan dari segala dosa-dosa yang mereka lakukan selama bulan, bahkan tahun dan dosa selama hidupnya. Ada orang orang yang mersakan mereka terkabul atas segala keinginan dan doanya yang selama ini tidak pernah dia dapatkan di bulan bahkan di tahun atau seluruh hidupnya belum pernah mendapatkan ijabah doa yang dia dapatkan. Ada orang yang merasakan nikmat berkah iman dan pencerahan hati akan mengenal siapa dirinya dan siapa tuhannya. Orang ini merasakan mendapat anugerah yang selama ini belum pernah diberitahukan apa apa yang pernah terjadi dengan dirinya dan tuhannya. Orang ini menyadari bawha tanpa kehadiran tuhan disisnya niscaya hidup akan hampa dan jauh dari harapan dan hampa. Orang ndak bisa mengungkapakan apa yang telah diberikan Alloh selama ini dengan kata kata, mungkin hanya dengan rasa semua bisa dinikmati, Rasa iman, ihsan, rasa kehadiran, rasa bersama, berkata-kata dan lain...... Yang terakhir ada orang yang selama bulan berpuasa setelah bulan puasa tidak merasakan apa apa sama sekali. Romadlon dan bukan, tidak ada bedanya sama sekali.

 Puasa Bulan Rajab

Rajab adalah bulan ke tujuh dari penggalan Islam qomariyah (hijriyah). Peristiwa Isra Mi’raj  Nabi Muhammad  shalallah ‘alaih wasallam  untuk menerima perintah salat lima waktu terjadi pada 27 Rajab ini.

Bulan Rajab juga merupakan salah satu bulan haram, artinya bulan yang dimuliakan. Dalam tradisi Islam dikenal ada empat  bulan haram, ketiganya secara berurutan  adalah: Dzulqa'dah, Dzulhijjah, Muharram, dan satu bulan yang tersendiri,  Rajab.

Dinamakan bulan haram karena pada bulan-bulan tersebut orang Islam dilarang mengadakan peperangan. Tentang bulan-bulan  ini, Al-Qur’an menjelaskan:

“Sesungguhnya bilangan bulan pada sisi Allah adalah dua belas bulan, dalam ketetapan Allah di waktu Dia menciptakan langit dan bumi, di antaranya empat bulan haram. Itulah (ketetapan) agama yang lurus, Maka janganlah kamu Menganiaya diri kamu dalam bulan yang empat itu, dan perangilah kaum musyrikin itu semuanya sebagaimana merekapun memerangi kamu semuanya, dan ketahuilah bahwasanya Allah beserta orang-orang yang bertakwa.”


Hukum Puasa Rajab

Hadis-hadis Nabi yang menganjurkan atau memerintahkan berpuasa dalam bulan- bulan haram (Dzulqa’dah, Dzulhijjah, Muharram dan Rajab) itu cukup menjadi hujjah atau landasan mengenai keutamaan puasa di bulan Rajab.

Diriwayatkan dari Mujibah al-Bahiliyah, Rasulullah bersabda "Puasalah pada bulan-bulan haram." (Riwayat Abu Dawud, Ibnu Majah, dan Ahmad). Hadis lainnya adalah riwayat al-Nasa'i dan Abu Dawud (dan disahihkan oleh Ibnu Huzaimah): "Usamah berkata pada Nabi Muhammad Saw, “Wahai Rasulallah, saya tak melihat Rasul melakukan puasa (sunnah) sebanyak yang Rasul lakukan dalam bulan Sya'ban. Rasul menjawab: 'Bulan Sya'ban adalah bulan antara Rajab dan Ramadan yang dilupakan oleh kebanyakan orang.'"

Menurut as-Syaukani dalam Nailul Authar, dalam bahasan puasa sunnah, ungkapan Nabi, "Bulan Sya'ban adalah bulan antara Rajab dan Ramadan yang dilupakan kebanyakan orang" itu secara implisit menunjukkan bahwa bulan Rajab juga disunnahkan melakukan puasa di dalamnya.

Keutamaan berpuasa pada bulan haram juga diriwayatkan dalam hadis sahih imam Muslim. Bahkan  berpuasa di dalam bulan-bulan mulia ini disebut Rasulullah sebagai puasa yang paling utama setelah puasa Ramadan. Nabi bersabda : “Seutama-utama puasa setelah Ramadan adalah puasa di bulan-bulan al-muharram (Dzulqa'dah, Dzulhijjah, Muharram, dan  Rajab).

Al-Ghazali dalam Ihya’ Ulumid-Din menyatakan bahwa kesunnahan berpuasa menjadi lebih kuat jika dilaksanakan pada hari-hari utama (al-ayyam al-fadhilah). Hari- hari utama ini dapat ditemukan pada tiap tahun, tiap bulan dan tiap minggu. Terkait siklus bulanan ini Al-Ghazali menyatakan bahwa Rajab terkategori al-asyhur al-fadhilah di samping dzulhijjah, muharram dan sya’ban. Rajab juga terkategori al-asyhur al-hurum  di samping dzulqa’dah, dzul hijjah, dan muharram.

Disebutkan dalam  Kifayah al-Akhyar, bahwa bulan yang paling utama untuk berpuasa setelah Ramadan adalah bulan- bulan haram yaitu dzulqa’dah, dzul hijjah, rajab dan  muharram. Di antara keempat bulan itu yang paling utama untuk puasa adalah bulan al-muharram, kemudian Sya’ban. Namun menurut Syaikh Al-Rayani, bulan puasa yang utama setelah al-Muharram adalah Rajab.

Terkait hukum puasa dan ibadah pada Rajab, Imam Al-Nawawi menyatakan, telah jelas dan shahih riwayat bahwa Rasul SAW menyukai puasa dan memperbanyak ibadah di bulan haram, dan Rajab adalah salah satu dari bulan haram, maka selama tak ada pelarangan khusus puasa dan ibadah di bulan Rajab, maka tak ada satu kekuatan untuk melarang puasa Rajab dan ibadah lainnya di bulan Rajab” (Syarh Nawawi ‘ala Shahih Muslim).


Hadis Keutamaan Rajab

Berikut beberapa hadis yang menerangkan keutamaan dan kekhususan puasa bulan Rajab:

• Diriwayatkan bahwa apabila Rasulullah SAW memasuki bulan Rajab beliau berdo’a:“Ya, Allah berkahilah kami di bulan Rajab (ini) dan (juga) Sya’ban, dan sampaikanlah kami kepada bulan Ramadhan.” (HR. Imam Ahmad, dari Anas bin Malik).

• "Barang siapa berpuasa pada bulan Rajab sehari, maka laksana ia puasa selama sebulan, bila puasa 7 hari maka ditutuplah untuknya 7 pintu neraka Jahim, bila puasa 8 hari maka dibukakan untuknya 8 pintu surga, dan bila puasa 10 hari maka digantilah dosa-dosanya dengan kebaikan."

• Riwayat al-Thabarani dari Sa'id bin Rasyid: “Barangsiapa berpuasa sehari di bulan Rajab, maka ia laksana  berpuasa setahun, bila puasa 7 hari maka ditutuplah untuknya pintu-pintu neraka jahanam, bila puasa 8 hari dibukakan untuknya 8 pintu surga, bila puasa 10 hari, Allah akan mengabulkan semua permintaannya....."

• "Sesungguhnya di surga terdapat sungai yang dinamakan Rajab, airnya lebih putih daripada susu dan rasanya lebih manis dari madu. Barangsiapa puasa sehari pada bulan Rajab, maka ia akan dikaruniai minum dari sungai tersebut".

• Riwayat (secara mursal) Abul Fath dari al-Hasan, Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda: "Rajab itu bulannya Allah, Sya'ban bulanku, dan Ramadan bulannya umatku."

• Sabda Rasulullah SAW lagi : “Pada malam mi’raj, saya melihat sebuah sungai yang airnya lebih manis dari madu, lebih sejuk dari air batu dan lebih harum dari minyak wangi, lalu saya bertanya pada Jibril a.s.: “Wahai Jibril untuk siapakan sungai ini ?”Maka berkata Jibrilb a.s.: “Ya Muhammad sungai ini adalah untuk orang yang membaca salawat untuk engkau di bulan Rajab ini”.

The subjects of the research are thirty three students of Class IX SMP Negeri 2 Baron, Nganjuk, consisting of nineteen girl students and thirteen boy students. The data were obtained from several techniques including test, collaborative observation, interview, questionnaires, and document analysis. To analyze quantitative data the researcher applied a descriptive statistics, comprising the following the dimensions: highest and lowest score, and means. To analyze the qualitative data, the researcher applied constant comparative method by Glaser and Strauss.

Besides that, activities using picture make their relationship improve, especially in developing group-work studying with their friends in teaching learning process.

          The research findings of this study imply that picture is very important. Therefore, it is recommended that (1) the teacher should be  more creative, active and innovative and use some variety of the pictures and get them from the some sources in teaching learning process; (2) English teachers and the school institution facilitate to establish the English Writing Corner or English Wall Magazine with its programs to continue the improvement of the study and express their capability in writing texts occasionally; and (3) the government facilitates to establish the English Writing Contest, which encourage and stimulate the students to express their experiences and  knowledge in writing competition which can be held for the students in level regency periodically.

Chapter 1

Introduction

1. The general objective of teaching English in Indonesia based on the competence based curriculum 2004 is to develop students’ communicative competence of the four language skills or aspects of teaching and learning; listening, speaking, reading, and writing (Depdiknas 2005: 171).
2. The purpose language in Junior High school is to achieve the functional level.

a.    They can develop the competence in communicating orally and written to resolve daily problems.

b.    They have a consciousness of the importance and essential of English in global era

3. They can develop their comprehension about language and culture.

3.      The basic competence of writing should be mastered by the students in junior high school is expressing the meaning by using the steps of rhetorical development accurately in written texts in form of narrative, recount, and simple descriptive.

4.      The result of mastering writing skills is the students are able to write about their activity in school and their environment, write the simple functional sentences, write messages, shorts and simple announcements, and greeting cards, produce  texts of narrative, recounts, and descriptive (Depdiknas 2006: 215, 218).

The other of mastering of writing skill is to help learners of English improving their writing of letters, stories, and other texts.

5.      Writing is one part of four skills, which have to be mastered by the students, and they can express their ideas in writing activity.

6.      Most of students have poor in writing’s capability. It can be seen from the students’ writing test (students who got average score of the test were 57. The students who got score was 65, only 14 students or 0.41, they were well classified. The rest or 0.59 of them were classified failed).

7.      There are some problems encountered. They lack of understanding grammar, write unorganized writing, lack of vocabulary, miss of the contents, make errors in spelling and punctuation usage.

8.      There were some indicators of the problem. The students were difficult in writing paragraph, in determining of punctuation, in determining of grammar, and in recalling the vocabulary. They need long time to write a paragraph.

9.      There were some causes of the problems. They lack of vocabulary, the teachers didn’t give the outlines, there were no media to guide and motivate the students in writing, and most of the students have no dictionary.

10.  Picture is one of the solutions to overcome the problems.

Why is the picture?

1.      pictures are not just an aspect of method but through their representation of the places, objects, and people.

2.      Pictures are an essential part of the overall experiences that we must help our students to cope with.

3.      pictures can be used by teachers and students whatever their emphasis of the syllabus they are following

4.      pictures make a particularly powerful contribution to both the content and the process of language learning

5.      Pictures contribute to interest and motivation, a sense of the context of the language, and a specific reference point or stimulus.

6.      Pictures could be an appropriate instructional media because pictures could be as function as an outlining device combining the design of grid contras or comparison tables

7.      Full color pictures could be useful to motivate students’ interest in teaching learning process of writing descriptive text material.

8.      Based on the picture, the students can write a descriptive text and find their  idea for learning activities by observing them.

Hopefully,

9.      Picture can help the students to have rich base experiences and stimulus responses for the development of writing.

a.      in recalling the vocabulary that they can express their idea or opinions to write a sentence or a paragraph easily.

b.      in practicing grammatical structure so that they can write coherent, contextual, and acceptable sentences.

10.  picture is easy to prepare and organize, interesting, meaningful, and authentic.

11.  using picture, they can write and organize the sentences into well paragraph, as product of writing ability by following the activity process: pre writing, planning, and drafting.

"The Pilgrimage", by Timdog

The ferry showed first as a flickering blemish between towers of dark cloud on the melting horizon; then it loomed tall in middle distance; now it was turning on the oily water of the inner harbour.

The ferry was big and beige with a high, sharp prow. Stocky men in blue boiler-suits were flinging ropes and shouting. There was a clamour of voices on the quayside, and behind it the tock-tock-tock of the bakso-seller tapping a cracked bowl with a dirty spoon. There were piles of bulging white sacks, and second-hand motorbikes, armour-plated with sheets of old cardboard, ready for shipping.

The Muslims floated like pale ghosts in the middle of the shifting crowd – men in their best black pecis, women in pink head-scarves – watching the ferry eagerly as it backed against the buffers. They had hired the best vehicle on the Island – a minibus, silver-grey with tinted windows – and made a banner for the occasion. It was strung along the side of the minibus, marked in childish block capitals: "WELCOME HAJJIS OF THE YEAR 2008".

The ferry squeezed up against the jetty and dark boys in long shorts launched themselves up the mooring ropes like broken spiders. A first rush of passengers surged down the narrow gangway and head-carried loads bobbed in the crowd.

The Muslims shifted and strained:

"Where are they?"

And then three men appeared at the top of the gangway and they hissed excitedly –

"There they are!"

The three men were paler ghosts even than the Muslims on the quayside. They wore white skullcaps and long shirts and yellow sarongs. All three had red-and-white Arab keffiyehs draped across their shoulders. There was a lean youth with a tuft of black hair at his chin and a dark, stocky man. Between them they supported a thin old man with papery skin. From the top of the gangway the old man looked out with cloudy eyes, beyond the rotting roofs of the little port, north along the empty coastline of the Island.

***

The Island was small and far in the east. It drifted alone and behind it was the emptiest ocean on earth. Half a century ago the islanders believed only in their own ancestors. They lived in tall houses and the Ancestors lived above them. But they called themselves Christian now, and in their own language they called the church the Bitter House.

The Muslims – a dozen families – lived only in the little port. They had been there for four hundred years and their forefathers came – the story used to go – from Makassar, riding on the back of a giant swordfish. The swordfish beat across shining water between curls of white foam and the Muslims clung to its quivering sail and it ground ashore at the Turtle Beach, a strip of white sand north of the little port.

That used to be the story, and every year, on the day of the first full moon in August, the Muslims would walk to the Turtle Beach and kill ten chickens, and the blood would run into the hissing water and they would remember the swordfish.

But it had been more than twenty years since anyone killed a chicken at the Turtle Beach. The Muslims all claimed Arab blood and no one mentioned the swordfish.

If you wanted to hear the story now you had to ask the Bitter House People. They could still tell you how the swordfish had charged the bright water, its purple fins humming, and how the Muslims had stepped ashore amongst the laying turtles and founded the little port. Some of them could even tell you how, long before the swordfish, the Muslims had washed from the sea in Makassar as fish eggs the colour of milky pearls, and how they had swum onto the land like raindrops on glass and coagulated in the form of men.

But none of the Muslims would tell you that story any more.

Things changed when the Arab arrived, one hundred years ago. The Arab came from the pirate port at Ende to buy horses and sandalwood. He wasn’t really an Arab. His grandfather had indeed come from Yemen, but he was of slave stock, not a Sayyid. He came to Java and married a woman from a village in the trees below Gunung Muria, and his son married a Madurese girl.

The Arab traded on just one-quarter of his bloodline, but he told everyone that he was a Sayyid, and the Muslims of the Island made small changes because they thought it would please him.

First they stopped eating pigs. Then they stopped drinking palm wine. Later some of them learnt to say their prayers, and after the Arab went away they began to intimate that the Arab had been their own grandfather. The truth was that too much palm wine in Ende had made the Arab impotent long before he arrived. But no one remembered that.

The Muslims were shopkeepers and traders. In a hundred years they had earned money to send their children to schools in Java. The girls came back in pink headscarves; the boys came back with tufts of black hair on their chins.

They earned money to buy televisions and motorbikes and they stopped going to their neighbours’ ceremonies. Once a year, in August, they still went to the Turtle Beach, but by the end it was just a picnic with sticky rice and dirty blankets and men going off to piss in the yellow scrub and at midday the kyai saying some prayers. No one killed any chickens, and only the old women thought about the swordfish.

And then the Muslims earned money to go on the pilgrimage to Mecca, and after that no one ever went to the Turtle Beach.

***

This year three men had gone on the outbound ferry to Java, and then on an aeroplane. The aeroplane was the same colour as the ferry and it beat across shining sky between curls of white cloud and landed on a strip of black tarmac in Saudi Arabia. The three men were a youth who had studied in Java, his shopkeeper uncle, and his grandfather who had eyes like milky pearls.

In the desert heat the youth was voluble and intense. The uncle smiled like he was on a picnic. The old man was silent.

The old man had never eaten pig or drunken palm wine, and one day, sitting in the heavy shade of the veranda, looking out at the dark ridgeback where the villages were, he had said to his sons

"These people are infidels."

It was the first time anyone on the Island had ever said that teeth-to-lip swearword.

"One day there will be trouble here,"

he had said, putting down his cup of grainy black coffee and placing the sticky metal cap over it to keep out the flies.

"What kind of trouble?"

asked his sons.

"Poso trouble. These people are infidels."

But now, in the desert, he said nothing, and when he slept at night in the mortuary ranks in the white tents his sleep was rotten with dreams. He dreamed of a giant swordfish.

The next day the old man said nothing, and saw nothing but a blank white crowd turning like water at the bottom of an emptying tank. His son and grandson had to carry him back to the white tents.

Two days later, on the Hill of Forgiveness when he should have been praying, he dreamed again of the giant swordfish. It ran hard through a shining sea and the water bulged before it and it came bigger and bigger under a sky scattered with tumbling white birds. The old man was on the scorched sand of the Turtle Beach watching its sail-fin looming tall in middle distance, and it grew larger and larger and roared onto the shore and its sword plunged into the old man’s heart and he woke with the desert sun in his eyes and said,

"I am dying."

The youth was with him.

"Praise God,"

he said.

"If you die here it is a great thing, Grandfather. There is no better place for a Muslim to die."

"There is a better place for me to die,"

said the old man.

***

The last sunlight was coming through the clouds in bright bars and the ferry was rolling against the jetty like a bound buffalo. The youth and his uncle were bearing the old man down the gangway and the Muslims on the quayside were shifting like cotton plants in the wind.

As the old man stepped onto the concrete the red-and-white keffiyeh slipped from his shoulder and went under the feet of the crowd. The youth tried to bend to pick it up, but he could not reach it. And then they were in the floating white midst of the welcoming party. The wind was chasing waves through the cloth of the banner – "WELCOME HAJJIS…"

Women in pink headscarves were beaming and men in black pecis were holding out their hands. Everyone was muttering phrases of mispronounced Arabic, and real questions between them:

"How was it?" "Praise God!"

The old man’s pearly eyes shifted over them.

"I am dying,"

he said, but no one heard him.

"How do you feel now?" "God is great!" "Was it hot?" "God has willed it!"

"I am dying,"

said the old man, a little more loudly this time. A pocket of silence grew around him.

"Take me to the Turtle Beach."

Duke of Jaksa

1. "Duke Of Jaksa", by Ross

Duke, out of Jakarta on family business, left Lestari untuk cope dengan Rainy season's rigours and Ramadhan's. She'd look after their kontrakkan, time still to help out in her pal Sinta's warung.

When Duke touched down at Soekarno Hatta, he rang. No answer, no worries - probably shopping or at Sinta's. He shouldered past rip-off cabbies, caught a Bluebird.

Disembarking on the corner, he sensed something amiss, quickened his pace. Faces peering over fences, normal nosiness, but this day unsmiling, Something in the pembantus 'Expressions raised his hackles, on edge immediately.

Their garden gate lay flattened. He charged through, as Sinta disebut his name.

"Pak Duke! Ma'afkan saya!"

Tearful bursts of ululating Proses told him of the dogs, Defenders of God's Statutes. They'd raided her warung (despite respectful curtains shielding hyper-sensitive fasters dari horrors of Christian meal-times) white-capped faces snarling at this 'blasphemous' affront ke devout.

In vain Sinta menyatakan herself a Christian, unobliged untuk puasa; should she demand customers 'KTPs before serving them?

They'd slapped her about, shredded the curtains, wrecked the warung. Lestari interceded, till a spiteful tukang Jammu yelped that here was a Muslim living with a bule - the huffy old bag's Seasonal sembako'd Fallen short of expectations.

That revelation provoked fearsome rage, the thugs heedless of the fact that Duke batas 'converted' when they'd married.

'A bule's cheap bitch!'

They turned on her,

'Where's your jilbab?'

She'd fled, along the little kali, swollen by the floods. Panic blinding her to danger, she'd stumbled into a cavernous flooded pothole, fast Swept Away.

'She surfaced once, Pak, called out, then ... gone,'

Sinta choked up, led Duke indoors, scenes of ransacked chaos. Hoodlums, not content with manslaughter, batas returned to Loot the bule's home.

"The police?"

Busy, it transpired (hadn't they also been too 'busy' to relieve the SIEGE of Tempo by a Tycoon's hired gangsters?) Dengan riots, flood problems; after all, the Dogs hadn't menewaskan her. Death by misadventure, they'd said.

"Because she was fleeing terrorised by those swine. '

Duke's wrath frightened Sinta, her Broad Javanese face convulsed.

'We put up decorations together when I was young, she membantu at Christmas, me at Ramadhan ...'

By invoking civilised times past, Sinta sought to distance all the wong cilik dari new jihadism.

He put a hand on her shoulder, Thanked her ... by waiting for him here, she 'd done lebih dari anybody else, he realised. If only he'd returned a day earlier. if only she'd stayed out of it ...
Lestari's demise never made the papers, Islamist depredations these days barely rating a paragraph.

Duke quietly strove to rebuild his life, sought Solace in Total Favorit Jaksa watering-Holes dengan buddies, Falatehan's finest sedulous in their upaya untuk assuage his stress ..

But alone at home, cecaks his Sole companions now, he slithered down King Lear's path - 'this way lies Madness.'

Fury gnawed relentlessly as he hassled officialdom dan media. No body, no funeral ... a missing person, he'd been advised, so not a lot they could chase the perps for, except 'disorder,' and God knew Jakarta batas Plenty.

He''d been in the Big Durian long enough to understand that but also to have met useful people.
If Lestari's Killers weren't to answer for their crime, anguish pointed another way to give her her day in court.

A late-night tryst with an amiable preman in Pappa Cafe on Jalan Jaksa Secured what he most required, a country-boy's life-long love, a gun.

Availing himself of the internet, he tracked down the dogs 'Kennel, a Notorious pesantren school in Grogol, run by the elderly Fanatic, camelious-faced Ustad Basam, who thrived on Propagasi of hatred.

For the first time in his life, Duke appreciated his erstwhile in-laws 'intransigent intolerance. They'd Forced his conversion to Islam. Indonesian marriage law, bigotry entrenched, lovers of Diverse Faiths persecuted if they tinggal outwith wedding vows, yet banned from marrying - unless one of them turned apostate. Muslims who chose that option, mengatakan Venerable Basam, merited death.

So Duke batas knuckled under, for love. Subsequently he'd eschewed participation in its rites, but first he'd explored the doctrines, trying to comprehend how anyone these days justified pedophilia or polygamy, affronts, indeed, to decent Muslims; but not confrontable, misguided adherence to the 'ummat' concept, sectarian Solidarity above all.

Turning that very concept to his advantage. Well-versed in Islamic lore, he knew the format and timing of prayers, could blend into any mosque, even Basam's, which had once echoed untuk exhortations untuk assault foreign tourists.

Night fell at 6pm, as always in Grogol, ketika Duke approached, his tanned but patently foreign features drawing askance glances. But he assured the toughs by the entrance that he was a convert, come to pay his respects. They'd heard of Aussie turncoats serving with the Taliban, whose heroic exploits - throwing acid into unveiled faces and burning girls 'schools - they admired.

Duke, nodded through to an unassuming back-seat, heard the obnoxious brute enliven his flock, another rant against Zionist-Crusaders.

Basam revelling in rapturous appreciation dari 'born-again' preman who constituted his audience, Duke stepped forward, levelled the hand-gun under his floppy shirt, put one in the head, one in the gut, a classic free-lance execution.

Swirling around, racing for the street, before anyone grasped what was afoot. (His Armed status meant few of the yellow-bellies would seek to obstruct his exit) he'd no wish to escape. He wanted be taken by the police .. for that day in court.

Touch and go, but the police van escaped the mob, who, once Duke was disarmed, went frenziedly after him. Solitary confinement ensured survival in pre-trial custody. Worldwide Headlines made Lestari famous.

Months passed till the big day. Cretinous Islamists frothed publicly for hukum mati; international awareness batas diplomats in attendance for the guilty verdict - 'twas how he'd pled.

But his speech from the dock echoed round the Archipelago, reinforcing the shame his Lestari's fate batas inspired among thinking Citizens.

"Basam's life was an ode to hatred. Who Hates humanity is an enemy of God, who created mankind. Don't all your religions denounce Satan, not the pura2 Great Satan those mongrels .. '

here he pointed at the dogs ...

invoke untuk Stoke prejudice, but the real Satan, who delights in death and Mayhem. I'll serve my sentence. But I menewaskan a pig, not a High Court judge, Your Honours!. And I did it myself, not second-hand. Five years max, please! I've exorcised one demon. Up to Indonesian justice to get the rest!

Even in the Istana Negara, heads jerked Facebook, took notice. In Pappa Cafe, a chorus of 'Good on yer, Duke!' erupted. Fights broke out there, and at Universities.

The judges weren't fools, deliberated for ten days. 'Diminished responsibility.' 'Temporary insanity.'

Time menjabat in custody, plus deportation.

Rioting lasted till next Ramadan, but so antagonised police and public that finally the dogs were banned and simliar dregs of society rounded up, interned, pursuant to prosecution for treason against the Pancasila State.

Deprived of access to his duchy, Duke of Jalan Jaksa drank himself to death in exile in Dili instead. But he died happy, no virgins waiting in Paradise, just Lestari ...
