Benediction in the cabin AirAsia one Day

ABDULLAH KHUSAIRI - PADANG

Towards anchored at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), flight attendants remind passengers to remain in their seats. The weather is very bad. The plane shook strong many times. Kuala Lumpur city looks from above, sparkling in the rain. 

That night, in the cabin, passengers pray with pale of face. There is also crying and hysterically, fear has come to crown. The pilot had tried some for landing in the rain storms and lightning, but to no avail. Finally, he decided to return to Penang International Airport. 

So a bit of experience AirAsia plane, on a journey of journalism at the invitation of the Malaysian Tourism Board (MTB), 21-24 July 2005. It's been a long time, but remembered since Sunday (29/12) morning, as news of AirAsia plane lost contact QZ8501 in Surabaya-Singapore trip.

AirAsia to sponsor the grand event, Malaysia Mega Sale Familiarisation Programme 2005. The airline carries the invitation, which is composed of businessmen, entrepreneurs, journalists, from various countries to participate in an event, know better the world tourism neighboring country. Malaysia reached a vision, as heaven asia (trully asia).

As one of the invitations, along with several journalists from Padang, I felt immediately fly with AirAsia Padang-Kuala Lumpur-Penang, commute. Up airline that carries the motto now everyone can fly, it feels no different to other airlines. Although known as airlines, low cost carriers.

However, with the brand as a cheap plane ticket, service in the cabin is limited. Unlike the previously known, with the physical plane tickets like a book. Printed lux. AirAsia change, just a piece of paper, choose your own seat on arrival in the plane, in the cabin, food orders charged.

Initially, feeling bad weather through the sky, is the usual despite fears. But the experience that night, very scary. Is still felt. The more so when looking at the television screen QZ8501 evacuation process. Death is so close, but death remains a mystery.


On another occasion, the same year, I was back flying with AirAsia. Jump to meet with the CEO of AirAsia, Tony Fernandes, in Cengkareng, December 11, 2005, in the event Launching PT. Indonesia AirAsia and AirAsia Airbus, which became sponsorship teams Munchester United (MU). A club football from Munchester, English State. 

On that occasion, Tony returned describes the airline he leads, as airlines could bring anyone to fly, for daring to give a low cost.

AirAsia is now mourning, as well as aviation. Since Basarnas together QZ8501 AirAsia flight search team found a bright spot where the plane, tears never stopped grieving families is highlighted on the screen. We also felt, how painful wait for the families left behind after the evacuation of the victims of the Strait Karimata, through the Pangkalan Bun. Hopefully all goes according to plan, amen.

Reading Tragedy
Many also have experience with similar tense atmosphere in the cabin at the beginning of the story earlier. When fear up to the crown, so close to death, a sense of divinity that time is very high. Prayers being said, weeping hysterically shrill with pale face and hands. Thus, death is always close to the living beings. Allah has said, every living thing will find death.

Lessons remembered, four things in this life is never going to unfold for sure. A mystery in life; Sustenance, dating, meeting and Death. Four things belong to the Almighty. Divine secrets, which holds authority Qudrah Iradhah. Can not be the slightest human intervention. 

Possibly, there are one or two people who can be a science to it but can never be sure. Still have a relative nature. 

QZ8501 tragedy leaves lessons not only technical issues and all forms of aviation safety preparedness in the air. There is little about spirituality, the relationship between the creature with the Creator. Creator, give happiness, sadness, fear, anger, is the game of life that comes after another. They were eventually taken away in the tragedy, has to run its course as outlined god. Destined only to the end of 2014, leaving hue grief to our left. 

Meanwhile, who could not ride QZ8501, for technical reasons so late to the airport Juanda, no other is not yet up to the finality of reckoning. Another lesson, we are very limited reasoning to make sense of life and death that have been defined in Lauhil Mahfuz. No need to stop a plane, if death comes, the promise has come, in the bedroom was deadly pick too. 

That is, not because of his plane, but because there is a destiny that can not be considered only a plane ride or not. The proof, no passengers are late to the airport to come fly with AirAsia QZ8501, who is moving up too late and he could escape from the tragedy? That is the mystery of life, death, meeting, dating and sustenance. Humans only have a maximum effort, the rest of prayer and surrender to God's law (the laws) in the frame of cosmology and natural law. Meanwhile, people lingered for a very limited reasoning in the legal sense. 

Full of Gratitude
After landing at the Penang International Airport, last one hour at the airport, flight back to Kuala Lumpur done. Bad weather has subsided. The pilot managed to land smoothly at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the early days. 

The passengers big smile, standing and clapping (standing applause), full of gratitude to the Divine. Hugged and shook hands. Gave high appreciation to the pilot that night. A maximum effort to succeed trip by a pilot, managed with the permission of the Almighty. Still given the opportunity to continue living in his realm belongs.

Nothing escaped the attention of the Almighty, what happens in nature. Even so a tragedy. Indeed, many tears were spilled over their tragic departure was yet ready to be guessed, as happy if they were to go it? the real reason we are very limited.[]

METODE TAFSIR TAHLILI

METODE TAFSIR TAHLILI ABDULLAH KHUSAIRI       Pendahuluan Salah satu dampak positif dari pernyataan Gubernur DKI Basuki Tjahya Purnama yang diduga menistakan agama oleh sebagian golongan ummat Islam adalah tafsir-tafsir al-Quran dibicarakan di ruang publik secara terbuka. Khususnya Surat al-Maidah ayat: 51. [1] Terlepas kepentingan politik praktis kekuasaan yang telah mengitari persoalan penafsiran surat al-Maidah ayat: 51 tersebut, yang jelas di panggung publik, media massa dan media sosial, tafsir al-Quran khusus ayat-ayat yang berkenaan dengan kepemimpinan telah disuarakan secara lantang. Persoalan serupa ini memang sering muncul dalam kontestasi politik menjelang dunia suksesi di daerah bahkan dalam Pemilihan Presiden. [2] Walau pun akhirnya, memang pendalaman kajian tafsir harus terus dipaparkan kepada publik agar tidak terjebak dalam logika sempit dan menjauhkan simpati dan menegasi keberagaman dan al-islam al-rahmat al-amin .

Jejak Kaki Regu Harimau ABDULLAH KHUSAIRI Satu foto seribu kata  Kata adalah kisah  Kisah adalah jejak  Jejak adalah kenangan!  Begitulah, setelah sebuah foto lama dan buram diposting di bilik percakapan mengabarkan seribu kisah di baliknya. Kisah 30 tahun silam. Tahun 1990.  Pada foto itu, anggota Regu Harimau Pondok Pesantren Al-Hidayah Sarolangun sedang berbaris tertib menuju lapangan upacara pada sebuah pagi yang sama serupa pagi ini, dari sebuah tenda yang dibuat serapi mungkin, walau tidak sekeren tenda-tenda "budak kini..." Begitu buram foto itu, tak lagi kelihatan siapa saja di dalamnya. Hanya yang jelas, ketua regu. Ya, ketua regu itu adalah Dr. Sufyan Ramli, M.Ag. paling kiri. Saya entah dimana, biasanya seingat saya, selalu berada di depan, atau nomor dua, sebab berbadan kecil. Anggota berbadan besar biasanya di belakang. Saya sudah lupa anggota-anggota lain.
