Glory

Glory, honor, and the like are degrees that are sought after people in this world. Most tend to assume that the glory will be won with money and possessions, so the money and property are being pursued and gathered day and night. Others thought that the glory can be achieved with the position, then earned a high level is the target. But according to Imam Ibnu Qayyim, grab something needs to know the key, as the glory of the locked obedience and obedient to Allah and His Messenger. Ibnu Qayyim has shown an essential key to noble life, which when used will open the gate to glory in the world and the hereafter. Moreover, the degree of glory that was obtained with the property, usually only last a short time. People who own property only when a property is considered noble, and that person became worthless when his wealth is gone. Likewise with the position, only in the Gentlemen in the meantime. Especially when standing still on hold. In fact, wealth and position could make people who have become arrogant, forget self, depressed and misguided soul, if not accompanied by obedience to Allah and His Messenger. This happens because many people assume is his wealth and position, rather than a temporary loan.

Opium Power

Power is like opium. A ruler is in power will continue to power addictions that make his life not be normal if it does not hold power. Dependence on power is too sensitive to make a ruling on his rule. Criticism and the opposite attitude that comes from some community groups will be on view as an attempt to drop the power that he mastered, so it will become paranoid. The tendency will be the opiate of power can happen to anyone and occurs in every stage of life, and in various aspects of life, both at the national, international and local. A prominent organization that has been addicted to power would not be replaced by someone else and if anything needs to be replaced always wanted a place still related, to safeguard its interests. The same is happening in government bureaucracy so that the turn of the officials in the bureaucracy will bring a variety of political rumors, both for which the substitute or replace it. Opium of power is very dangerous, perhaps even more dangerous than people who do drugs because of power will affect systemic opiate for the life of the community. A ruler or official who addictive power will corrupt policies and actions which are only concerned with and benefit himself and his group, and harming other people and other groups, and may interfere with the dynamics of the life of society as a whole. Political democracy in fact is a therapy to overcome the addiction of power because power politics in a democracy must always be in control are strictly for rulers are not addicted to power, and a ruler must be open and positive response to each control and sharp criticism from the public, do not be paranoid.

Corruptor

What's the difference corruptor with terrorists?Usually criminals live happy (rich) while the terrorists simple life, idealists, holding the principle, in fact likely to be poor. But, more strinking difference exist on the impact and dangers. Although both are equally dangerous, but a greater danger than terrorist corruptor because it inhibits development and impoverish people. Despite the fact that corruption is more dangerous to society, nation and state, but the punishment for the perpetrators of corruption so light. In Islamic law the punishment of cutting off hands of thieves alone, whereas the value of the stolen goods might be little less than Rp1 million. So that the punishment for the corrupt stolen million dollars of public money should be much heavier, in which the death penalty is meted out to the corrupt fit. And  if the death penalty is applied strictly, the corrupt must be terrified, so the affective jeranya create fear corrupt officials during the acquisition of office ria and mandate as government officials at central, provincial and district towns. It seem the punishment for the perpetrators of corruption has been only half-hearted. It can be seen from difficulty catching the perpetrator, unless the evidence is incomplete or gallant Corruption Eradication Comission (KPK) by tapping recordings. The process is complicated, and the punishment is vey low. And that makes people sad. When captured, processed and after the verdict they can be preferential treatment. Still laughing, smartly dressed, can facilities, etc. So that remission can not already feel to return to society by staying wealthy from corruption. With such a low penalty must have been difficult to eradicate the rats of corruption, especially in the field clearly visible how the corrupt and corrupt family can still enjoy their wealth. So how might create a deterrent effect if the new efforts to combat corruption mere show and playful, just lips service or only half-hearted. No wonder that this nation is failing and will get worse in the future if it is not related reforms that mild punishment for the perpetrators of corruption. Indonesia should follow the legal process in China or other country applying severe penalties, such penalty by firing squad, hanging againts the perpetrators of corruption law without favoritism. In china, the commitment that comes from leadership so that the highs are 3000 criminals sentenced to death(by weight) visit by other officials and citizens. If China has now become a development nation, Indonesia can be more advenced than China if it dared  to imposed a death sentence for corruption.

Democracy

In democracies, the foremost established is willing to accept defeat with sincerity, respect others, obey the rules that have been standard. Again, why are we not ready to democracy when the world was praising us as the third largest democracy in the world? Will compliment Obama said Indonesia ha a future so bright if we still maintain our character like this? Democracy on the other hand i understand it was a matter of rules and how to respect others. The political system of a country that used to have a hope of implementing democracy better than authoritarian states. In democracies, the foremost established is willing to accept defeat with sincerity, respect others, obey the rules that have been standardized and set together. Departing from principles such such as these, reasonable people in the United States to finish the substantive democracy. The politicians in the United States greatly appreciates contituatent voters. They are fully aware, they were sitting senator, public officials because the people wanted a change for the better. If we see democracy that we apply, it is very reasonable we are not ready for democracy.Do not always blame each other.When speaking of democracy and the rule of issues of mutual respect of others, not too hard to find facts on the ground about our lack of obedience to the rules and respect others.At every red light the city of Medan, although there are very large writing stops behind the line, almost all vehicles, both elite and ordinary always passes through the line.Even the breakthrough red lights are very easy to find. This is the portrait of a nation unprepared democracy.Samples of red lights and traffic is still one sample.And obey the traffic signs is a matter of rules and how to respect others. Here we are not ready for democracy, although still very simple. It is said again in the practice of nation and state is good. In many countries formally managed resources.One is money and other forms of facility.This is an advanced source of the problem.Whereas in managing the resources of the country need better rules and regulations.If we can not respect the rights of others to see that money and resources of the state is for the common good, which is the root of the problem therefore appears corrupt behavior. Corruption is a form of our inability to respect what the people's right’s. Corruption is a form of our disobedience to the rules of good.Given the culture of our society are always looking for shortcuts and outside the rules, there is often a violation of various rules of the game.Nations that do not obey the rules of the game always falls in the conflict brothers. How to be ready for democracy? Certainly there is no standard formula as in formula Mathematics or Physics. But the answer is very simple.Two absolute prerequisite in a democracy, obey the rules and respect others.When I became a public official, I do not run the program development for the people, then I already do not appreciate what the rights of others and I am already breaking the rules. The emergence of various political conflicts at the local and national level is the fruit of our unpreparedness mengahrgai others and do not obey the rules of the game. Culture back in Japan by it’s officials is a form of respect for others. He indirectly let someone more capable to lead. Form here we can see together, that democracy requires a very simple formula, respect for other. Naturally democracy in developed countries the main instrument to achieve state goals. If they are not able to respect others and obey the rules, then the next they will not be reelected and advanced politicians or public officials. Stark contrast in our country, from people who are qualified higher education is also very difficult apriciated right of others and obey the rules. Not a view that is foreign to us, that the officials always take precedence if the car passed. Although there are rules all equal before the law and goverment. Apparently it does not work, only limited service lips alone. When democracy becomes an option for a nation, it takes respect for others and obey the rules. Later in his political plays, all political behavior needs to be directed to build the people and give good value to the community. This is very simple example, that democracy is actually not complicated, just a matter of respect for others and obey the rules that already joint decision anyway. When will ready for democracy?

Ecology for Human

So far, the paradigm developed in the community in general in addressing the relationship between man and nature is anthropocentric paradigm, in the sense of man as the holder complete control over nature.Assumptions such as this will result in the placement of man as the king's legitimate to exploit the natural wealth on the basis of profit and loss for the benefit of man alone.Anthropocentrism misguided as this will give birth to the concept of ecology is arrogant, full of capitalistic greed and leads to environmental destruction.Impact of concrete which can be seen not only flash floods, but also including air pollution, ozone layer depletion, nuclear radiation, flood, industrial waste and other pollution-pollution that cause various diseases is a result of damage to the ecosystem that was born from the absence of human wisdom to safeguard the environment . Ethics anthropocentrism is basically a complement of ecological born with a secular character, ethics, science and technology nonreligi is considered reasonable because it is growing in the West, an area set apart from the worldly affairs of religious affairs.Therefore the world is considered as a no man's land territory to be subdued, exploited and explored to meet the needs of human life and the future of the world. In this atmosphere we are required to give birth to a new interpretation of how the relationship between man and harmonious environment, without forcing the text to speak.Here in lies the role of human reason in analyzing verses bounty God to give birth to a new concept of man's relationship to the environment along with breakthrough and alternative solutions to environmental problems that occur now. Based interpretation of environmental (ecological interpretation) is often interpreted as the attitude of the public theology (religious) to its environment.The paradigm of this interpretation is not entirely natural position as the only object of human exploitation. Natural empowered to human welfare as much as possible, without reducing the level of sustainability.Welfare is not only related to economic factors alone, but rather to the concept of development in harmony with environmental sustainability.Until the end of this interpretation will create a relationship that places man was created for nature and human nature was created for.With the concept of interpretation of human ecology is expected to be more prudent in natural treats, natural destruction caused by exploitation without considering the rights of nature will only be a social burden to be borne by society because of the greed of the parties are not responsible.

Is Mining Trouble Maker?

Mining is a trouble maker deforestation or mining environment and destroyer so that a better environment and moratorium on all extractive companies just close them. That's the impression that we often hear about mine so far. Is it really like that?. Theres is nothing wrong in throwing the argument is absolute. No need to be rejected too, that the mine was damaging the environment. Just need a bit of sorting that the various arguments put forward can be grouped into two: who understand and who don't know about mining. The argument being thrown by those who do not understand the quantity is very large and has given rise to negative perceptions of the mining industry and mislead the public by issuing false statement. The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, 1992 became one of the pillars of the world including the industrial mindset change in the mining sector. Paradigm which has been based on the growth of the economy began to be directed to sustainable development. Suistanable development is an idea that seeks to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their needs. To support sustainable development in the mining sector, there needs to be closure policy since the beginning so as to encourage any mining activity has a structuring concept quarry to be safe and still has the fuction of environmental ptotection. Many people who see only the mining of the damage done, without even knowing that behind all the mining activities must always be terminated with series of closure that takes into account environmental factors, social welfare and profit. So there is always activity reclamation, revegetation and replanting of former mining land. Fallacy that mining does not have a concept of environmental awareness is still a hurdle many eclogist not accept mining as an activity for human welfare. Some even look at one eye and was always seen with a bad precedent. Green mining or mine green that concept needs to be done by the actors and practitioners of mining, as a bridge to synergizing the mining environment. Because these two things is basically a human activity aimed at meeting the needs and welfare of his life. Mine is not always destructive, sometimes the impact can be a blessing to other activities. Green doest not mean mine can not do mining and dredging mininga activities to earn profit, but there is no value of protection and respect for the environmet abd society. By implementing the environmental protction and welfare of this community, could become a business requirenment to be able to continue mining activity to higher level of profit. 

Poverty

Community-soluble or Government pretended that the blind will skyrocket gap in society of Indonesia. Inequalities such as poverty, evictions and unemployment are widening even haunting lives of the people of Indonesia. As a result, many Indonesian people who become workers in a company with very low wages (below minimum wage). Funny thing is the company that holds the people of Indonesia is a foreign company.  And in our memories as she sat in an elementary school (SD) is very clear the teachers said that Indonesia is an agrarian country, Indonesia is rich meaning that Natural Resources (SDA). Where to maximize the utilization Indonesian agricultural land will be safeguarded economic stability. Now the agricultural sector has also been turned into large plantations. Finally, to consume the rice we have to import from foreign countries. Have we ever asked ourselves why these gaps occur in people of Indonesia? , Giving rise to our own misery. Now it's time we are sensitive to the gaps that exist and build awareness that foreign domination has eat slowly economic this country, while the firmness of the government for it is lacking. Foreign dominating role in the strategic sectors, such as finance, energy and mineral resources, telecommunications, and plantations. With such foreign domination, often impressed economy hostage to their interests, which ultimately the people who experience adversity. Poverty is increasingly spread throughout the fabric of Indonesian society it is time for us to stop. The government should take the rigor to drive the wheels of our national economy, before all the sectors in this country controlled by a foreign country. For example, the government developed a national independent economy to maintain stable national economy. So that we no longer dependent compounds against a foreign country which leads to a suffering people. The government must also be able to take advantage and be able to master the potential of natural resources and human resources nationally, and can direct it to the people's interests. Not forgetting also to conduct judicial review of Law No.25 of 2007 contrary to Article 33 UUD'45 as the constitution of Indonesia. So people would not be working again in his own country and poverty will surely be overcome.
