PDI-P Acrobatics After the U-20 World Cup Canceled: From Regional Heads Rejecting Israel to End Blaming PSSI

PDI-P Acrobatics After the U-20 World Cup Canceled: From Regional Heads Rejecting Israel to End Blaming PSSI Statements from a number of Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) cadres who initially refused the participation of the Israeli football team in the 2023 U-20 World Cup now regret the decision of the International Football Association Federation (FIFA) to cancel Indonesia as the host of the competition. That.  Currently, the Indonesian national team and some people are disappointed with FIFA's decision. This is because the Indonesian national team hopes to compete in the event as a stepping stone towards the world cup.  On the other hand, the hubbub over the Israeli national team's presence in the competition is seen as a form of politicization by politicians ahead of the 2024 General Election (Election).  Rejection of 2 governors Two regional heads who are also PDI-P cadres, namely Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo and Bali Governor I Wayan Kost

LIKE TO FORGET TIME

LIKE TO FORGET TIME By: Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq Very often I get complaints from congregations who complain that the Friday sermon is very long or that there are preachers during the lecture, the duration is too long.  Even though there is actually no set time standard for the duration of the khutbah, cult, study or general study, usually the preacher or preacher already understands that everything has a threat.  If Kultum, which is an acronym for a seven-minute lecture, is delayed by 15 minutes, that's still normal and common, but when it's been more than half an hour, it's certain that the congregation will be nervous.  Friday sermons are the same, the standards between regions are indeed different. But what is clear is that sermons in offices or in company mosques that strictly regulate employee time cannot be equated with village mosques, which are generally more free.  And preachers sometimes forget to equip themselves with sufficient knowledge about the probl

U-20 World Cup: PSSI Closes Israel's Option to Play in Other Countries

U-20 World Cup: PSSI Closes Israel's Option to Play in Other Countries There was a proposal for Israel to play in another country at the 2023 U-20 World Cup. PSSI stated that this was very difficult to happen.  The proposal is considered to be an alternative so that the U-20 World Cup can still be held. Because there was a wave of rejection of Israel's participation.  Singapore is one of the countries raised to be an alternative location for Israel. One of the reasons is due to geographical proximity so that the mobilization process is not too difficult.  "For Singapore, the problem is that we submitted (bidding) from the beginning, only one country (Indonesia). So it could be, but it might be rejected because Singapore did not submit itself," said PSSI Executive Committee (Exco) member Arya Sinulingga, Sunday (26/3) /2023).  "That means we have to lobby the Singapore government. So when bidding is done by the two countries from the start, not in the

Mahfud Allegedly Sri Mulyani "Deceived" by Underlings, Laundered Gold Import Money in Untouched Excise

Mahfud Allegedly Sri Mulyani "Deceived" by Underlings, Laundered Gold Import Money in Untouched Excise The Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD said he always respected the performance of the Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani.  In fact, for him, Sri Mulyani was the best Finance Minister the Indonesian government had ever had.  "To my amazement in the cabinet, (Sri Mulyani) explained that any complicated problem can be made simple, (for example regarding) the state budget," said Mahfud in a working meeting with Commission III of the DPR RI at the Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday (29/3 /2023).  "So I believe him, the best Minister of Finance, but, access (information) from below does not enter," he continued.  Mahfud said that Sri Mulyani did not get valid data regarding the alleged money laundering crime (TPPU) at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu).  In fact, the report on alleged mo

Ganjar Disappointed that FIFA Canceled Indonesia to Host the U-20 World Cup, Here's the Reason

Ganjar Disappointed that FIFA Canceled Indonesia to Host the U-20 World Cup, Here's the Reason The Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, spoke about the decision by the International Football Federation (FIFA) to officially cancel Indonesia's status as host for the 2023 U20 World Cup.  Ganjar said he was disappointed with FIFA's decision because preparations for the U-20 World Cup had been under way for a long time.  "Yo, I'm disappointed. Our people have prepared from the start. There are only a few notes left that we can continue," said Ganjar in a disappointed tone.  This was conveyed by Ganjar after attending the RB Thematic Socialization and Changes to the 2020-2024 Bureaucratic Reform Road Map in Central Java with Mrnpan-RB and the ranks of mayors at the Gradhika Bhakti Praja Building, Thursday (30/3/2023).  Ganjar said that he had communicated from the start before giving a statement to all ministries including PSSI, regarding the main o

Signs of a Fasting Person Accepted by Allah SWT

Signs of a Fasting Person Accepted by Allah SWT As an AI language model, I cannot provide religious opinions or interpretations. However, I can provide some general information about fasting in Islam and the concept of acceptance by Allah (SWT). In Islam, fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, and it is mandatory for all able-bodied adult Muslims during the month of Ramadan. Fasting involves abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset, with the intention of seeking closeness to Allah (SWT) and gaining self-discipline. The concept of acceptance by Allah (SWT) is known as "Qabool" in Arabic. It is believed that Allah (SWT) accepts the acts of worship and good deeds of those who perform them with sincerity and in accordance with the teachings of Islam. However, it is ultimately up to Allah (SWT) to determine whether a person's fast is accepted or not. In Islamic tradition, there are certain signs that indicate that a person&

FOUR PEOPLE WHO ARE PROHIBITED TO HELL FIRE

FOUR PEOPLE WHO ARE PROHIBITED TO HELL FIRE Rasulullah ﷺ said: “Would you like me to show you that the person who is unlawful for him is touched by the fire of hell?” The companions said, "Want, O Messenger of Allah!" He replied: "(The Haram touched by the fire of hell are) people who are Hayyin, Layyin, Qarib, Sahl." (H.R. At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hiban).  In this hadith, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam mentions that there are four people who are forbidden from the fire of hell. Who's he?  Hayyin, that is, someone who is humble, not arrogant, does not feel arrogant, does not feel arrogant.  Layyin, soft. That is soft and not rough.  Qarib, close to humans. This means that humans feel happy to approach him.  Because if there are people who are afraid to approach him because of his badness, then this person will be one of the most severe people to be punished on the Day of Judgment.  Sahl, it's easy. Easy to collect debt, easy to buy, eas

PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO FEED BREAKING

PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO FEED BREAKING By: Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq This noble religion provides guidance so that Muslims become individuals who are grateful for any gifts in the form of goodness that they get.  And among the forms of gratitude to Allah, is that a person should be good at thanking fellow human beings who have done good to him. Rasulullah shallallahu'alaihi wassalam said: لاَ يَشْكُرُ اللَّهَ مَنْ لاَ يَشْكُرُ النَّاسَ "It is not said to be grateful to Allah for who is ungrateful to humans." (Narrated by Abu Dawud) Al Khatabi Rahimahullah when explaining the hadith above said: "The point is that Allah ta'ala does not accept the gratitude of a servant for the gifts He has given, if he is reluctant to thank the goodness of other people or deny their services (which are the waythe arrival of the gift).”[1] Among the forms of gratitude to others is to reply with a prayer of kindness when receiving a gift or when getting a helping hand from them.

"Still I Rise" By Maya Angelou

"Still I Rise" By Maya Angelou "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting o

"The Happy Prince" By Oscar Wilde

"The Happy Prince" By Oscar Wilde "The Happy Prince" is a short story written by Oscar Wilde. It is about a statue of a happy prince who was once alive but is now a statue in a city square. The statue is covered in gold leaf and has precious stones for eyes. The happy prince is not actually happy, however, because he can see the poverty and suffering of the people in the city below. One day, a swallow flies into the city and stops to rest on the statue. The happy prince speaks to the swallow and asks him to take the precious stones from his eyes and give them to the poor. The swallow agrees and begins to take the jewels and give them to the poor and the sick. As the swallow continues to help the people of the city, the statue of the happy prince becomes less and less adorned. Eventually, all of the gold leaf is gone and the statue is just a plain metal statue. The swallow, who has grown to love the happy prince, stays with him until the winter comes. Whe

"My Heart And I" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"My Heart And I" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning "My Heart And I" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning I. Enough! we're tired, my heart and I. We sit beside the headstone thus, And wish that name were carved for us. The moss reprints more tenderly The hard types of the mason's knife, As heaven's sweet life renews earth's life With which we're tired, my heart and I. II. You see we're tired, my heart and I. We dealt with books, we trusted men, And in our own blood drenched the pen, As if such colours could not fly. We walked too straight for fortune's end, We loved too true to keep a friend; At last we're tired, my heart and I. III. How tired we feel, my heart and I! We seem of no use in the world; Our fancies hang grey and uncurled About men's eyes indifferently; Our voice which thrilled you so, will let You sleep; our tears are only wet: What do we here, my heart and I? IV. So tired, so tired, my heart and I! It was not thus in

The Origin Of English Language

The Origin Of English Language The English language has a rich and complex history that spans over 1,500 years. The origins of English can be traced back to the Germanic languages of the Anglo-Saxon tribes who inhabited England in the early Middle Ages. Over time, the language evolved and changed, as it absorbed influences from Latin, French, and other languages. The Middle English period, from around 1100 to 1500, saw significant changes in the language, as the Norman Conquest brought a wave of French influence to English. During this period, English became the language of the common people, while French remained the language of the nobility and the courts. The Early Modern period, from around 1500 to 1800, saw the rise of English as a literary language, as well as the standardization of spelling and grammar. This period also saw the development of English as a global language, as Britain established colonies and trade networks around the world. In the 19th and 20th centur

"O Captain! My Captain!" By Walt Whitmanv

"O Captain! My Captain!" By Walt Whitman O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills, For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the deck, You’ve fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still, My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will, The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done, From fearful trip the victor ship comes in wi

WAGE LAW FOR MUADZINS

WAGE LAW FOR MUADZINS Afwan kiyai, what is the true opinion of madhhab scholars about taking wages for a muezzin, is that permissible in Islam? Because I don't feel comfortable worshiping is paid.  Answer By: Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq In principle, worship is only permissible to hope for rewards and gifts from Allah ta'ala alone, may not be used as a means to get from creatures in the form of praise, flattery, assistance and including payment. Of course this is already very ma'fum existence. Allah ta'ala says: Amen "Even though they were only ordered to worship Allah sincerely obeying Him solely because of (carrying out) religion..." (QS. Al Bayinah: 5) Mentioned in al Mausu'ah Fiqhiyyah: Amen "Basically, any obedience that specifically must be performed by a Muslim should not be used as a means of earning wages."[1] However, what is also taken into consideration is that there are aspects of worship, especially those carried out jointly by
