Puisi-puisi Islami (Islamic Poet)

Inilah puisi-puisi Islami pilihan yang memang... WOW!:

Wajahmu

Mungkin kau berencana pergi,
seperti ruh manusia
tinggalkan dunia membawa hampir semua
kemanisan diri bersamanya

Kau pelanai kudamu

Kau benar-benar harus pergi
Ingat kau punya teman disini yang setia
rumput dan langit

Pernahkah kukecewakan dirimu ?
Mungkin kau tengah marah
Tetapi ingatlah malam-malam
yang penuh percakapan,
karya-karya bagus,
melati-melati kuning di pinggir laut

Krinduan, ujar Jibril
biarlah demikian
Syam-i Tabriz,
Wajahmu adalah apa yang coba diingat-ingat lagi oleh setiap agama

Aku telah mendobrak kedalam kerinduan,
Penuh dengan nestapa yang telah kurasakan sebelumnya
tapi tiada semacam ini

Sang inti penuntun pada cinta
Jiwa membantu sumber ilham

Pegang erat sakit istimewamu ini
Ia juga bisa membawamu pada Tuhan

Tugasku adalah membawa cinta ini
sebagai pelipur untukmereka yang kangen kamu,
untuk pergi kemanapun kaumelangkah
dan menatap lumpur-lumpur
yang terinjak olehmu

muram cahaya mentari,
pucat dingding ini

Cinta menjauh
Cahayanya berubah

Ternyata ku perlu keanggunan
lebih dari yang kupikirkan 

Wanita Jihad

Mujahidah dari Bumi Jihad

Aku Wanita Mujahidah Sejati…
Yang tercipta dari tulang rusuk lelaki yang berjihad..
Bilakah khan datang seorang peminang menghampiriku mengajak tuk berjihad..
Kelak ku akan pergi mendampinginya di bumi Jihad..
Aku selalu siap dengan semua syarat yang diajukannya..
cinta Allah, Rasul dan Jihad Fisabilillah
Aku rela berkelana mengembara dengannya lindungi Dienullah
Ikhlas menyebarkan dakwah ke penjuru bumi Allah

Tak mungkin ku pilih dirimu.. .bila dunia lebih kau damba…
Terlupa kampung halaman, sanak saudara bahkan harta yang terpendam..
Hidup terasing apa adanya.. asalkan di akhirat bahagia…
Bila aku setuju dan kaupun tidak meragukanku…
Bulat tekadku untuk menemanimu…

Aku Wanita mujahidah pilihan…
Yang mengalir di nadiku darah lelaki yang berjihad…
Bilakah khan datang menghampiriku seorang peminang yang penuh ketawadhu`an…
Kelak bersamanya kuarungi bahtera lautan jihad…
Andai tak siap bisa kau pilih…
Agar kelak batin, jiwa dan ragamu tak terusik,
terbebani dengan segala kemanjaanku, kegundahanku, kegelisahanku…
terlebih keluh kesahku…

Tak mungkin aku memilihmu…
bila yang fana lebih kau cinta…
Lupa akan kemilau dunia dan remangnya lampu kota…
lezatnya makanan dan lajunya makar durjana…
Sebab meninggalkan dakwah karena lebih mencintaimu…
dan menanggalkan pakaian taqwaku karena laranganmu…

Meniti jalan panjang di medan jihad…
Yang ada hanya darah dan airmata tertumpah…
serta debu yang beterbangan,
keringat luka dan kesyahidan pun terulang…
Jika masih ada ragu tertancap dihatimu…
Teguhkan `azzam`ku tuk lupa akan dirimu…

Aku wanita dari bumi Jihad…
Dengan sekeranjang semangat berangkat ke padang jihad…
Persiapkan bekal diri menanti pendamping hati, pelepas lelah serta kejenuhan…
tepiskan semua mimpi yang tak berarti…
Adakah yang siap mendamaikan Hati ??
Karena tak mungkin kulanjutkan perjalanan ini sendiri…
tanpa peneguh langkah kaki.. pendamping perjuangan…
Yang melepasku dengan selaksa do`a…
meraih syahid… tujuan utama…
Robbi… terdengar panggilanMu tuk meniti jalan ridhoMu…
Kuharapkan penolong dari hambaMu… menemani perjalanan ini…

Hanya Sementara

Ku pijakkan kaki
Ku tegakkan badan
Ku tatap ke depan
Ku lihat lurus
Ku cermati sekitar
Ku coba merasa
Ku coba meraba
Ku coba menerka
dan . .
Kini ku tahu jawabnya

Semua adalah Ciptaan Nya
Semua adalah Titipan Nya
Semua akan kembali pada Nya
Semua hanya sementara
Tak ada yg kekal
Tak ada yg abadi
Tak ada yg perlu di banggakan
Tak ada yg patut di sombongkan
Semua hanya sementara
Hanya sementara
dan
Hanya sementara . .

Perlihatkan Hidayah-Mu

Ya Allah……
Ya Tuhanku……

Lihatlah para penerus Adam ini Tuhan…!!!
Yang hidup dalam kegelapan……
Yang hidup tanpa setitik cahaya

Ya Allah……
Ya Tuhanku……

Sadarkanlah mereka Tuhan……
Tunjukkanlah jalan lurus padanya……
Berikanlah hidayahmu padanya……

Ya Allah……
Ya Tuhanku……

Ku tahu kalau kau ada……
Jadi, bantulah kawanku itu Tuhan……
Untuk keluar……
Dari lembah kegelapan

 

Bukan Keinginanku, Tapi Kehendak-Nya

Kalau aku lahir ke alam dunia
Pasti bukan keinginanku, tapi kehendak-Nya
Bila aku harus berbuat mengikuti jalan-Nya
Itu juga bukan keinginanku, tapi karena kehendak-Nya

Hidup haruslah bahagia di dunia juga di akhirat
Itu bukan keinginanku, tapi kehendak-Nya
Hidupku bukan bagaimana menurut keinginanku seharusnya
Tapi berada di jalan-Nya sebagaimana kehendak-Nya

Sekiranya hidup menuruti keinginanku, bukan menuruti kehendak-Nya
Pastilah merugi akhirnya
Keinginanku mustahil mampu memenuhi kehendak-Nya
Sekiranya tak mau mendahulukan kehendak-Nya

Al-Qur'an mengajarkan agar hidup berserah diri kepada-Nya
Dunia lahir bukan mengikuti bagaimana keinginan makhluk-Nya
Beribadah untuk menyembah hanya kepada-Nya
Itu juga merupakan kehendak-Nya

Maka, hidupku sudah pasti harus mengikuti kehendak-Nya
Itu jika berharap hidup menjadi bahagia
Bila hidup hanya mengikuti apa yang menjadi keinginanku saja
Pastilah kehendak-Nya tak dipatuhi olehku sebagai hamba-Nya

Kuingin begini dan begitu harus sejalan dengan kehendak-Nya
Sekiranya jauh dari apa yang dikehendaki-Nya
Maka, keinginanku hanya bertumpu pada nafsu dunia
Mulia hidup pasti juga jauh berlabuh di dermaga cinta-Nya

Allah Yang Maha Mulia pasti mengatur seluruh makhluk-Nya
Sebagaimana yang dikehendaki-Nya di dalam kekuasaan-Nya
Ada keinginan yang disediakan tapi jangan abaikan kehendak-Nya
Itu telah menjadi ketetapan-Nya

Dahulukanlah kehendak-Nya
Perintah dan larangan-Nya adalah kehendak-Nya
Bila mengikuti kehendak-Nya
Allah pasti mampu memenuhi apa yang diinginkan makhluk-Nya

Sudah siapkah menjalani hidup sebagaimana kehendak-Nya?
Boleh saja berkeinginan jika diizinkan oleh-Nya
Jangan mengetahui hanya untuk menuruti nafsu dunia
Tapi ketahuilah ada kehendak-Nya.

Crap!

Perfect! Just perfect! My blog is destroyed! Well, I'm going to modified the current blog and add its function. Which is....... Toy Review!! Isn't that exciting!?(for geeks like me, yeah)

TRON: Uprising (2012-Disney XD Channel)

Get Ready to see more TRON action with 2012 TRON animated series. Yes Disney XD is going to release the TRON animated series: Uprising, which was happened before Legacy (maybe...). The series itself tell us about the life of Beck (not to be confused with Harold Sakuishi's BECK) a program from "The Grid" in series of adventure (which involves action and there might be many of CLU's guard derezzing.. like typical tv animated series right now...) and meet with many characters and even the legend from the original movie itself: Tron!! (if you played the TRON: Evolution game, you might know how will TRON looks like in the series).
 It's still unconfirmed if Kevin Flynn or Anon or even Quorra will be on this one. Perhaps, Gibson will show up? Just wait 'n see guys! remember 2012! on Disney XD!

History of Gundam

The Gundam Series is a metaseries of anime created by Sunrisemecha") called "Mobile Suits"(MS), usually the protagonist's MS will carry the name Gundam. The metaseries started on April 7, 1979 as a serial TV show called Mobile Suit Gundam. That first TV series has since spawned a franchise that has come to include works released in numerous media. Titles have appeared in the form of multiple television series and OVAs, movies, manga, novels and video games, among other modes. The story from the original 1979 series has been considerably extended with sequels, prequels, side stories and alternate timelines. As a result, the title "Gundam" has become a collective term for the seven distinct but related timelines that can be pieced together from the stories that appear in the Gundam franchise. Generally speaking, the timelines do not intersect, but they do contain a few common elements such as the titular war machines called Gundam. However, all GundamTurn A Gundam. studios that features giant robots (or " timelines/worlds long after their own anime series will eventually intersect and combine back to one in the series

The original timeline for the Gundam series was the Universal Century (UC) series, which included Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1985). Since the 1990s, alternative timelines have been produced and developed, including the Future Century, After Colony, After War, Correct Century, Cosmic Era and Anno Domini timelines.

As of January 21, 2008, the Gundam franchise is a 50 billion yen trademark. A year 2000 press release stated that retail sales of Gundam items had totaled $5 billion. In the 2008 ranking of average sales figures for anime copies sold in Japan (1970-2008 total sales figures averaged by episode), Gundam series were in four of the top five places: Mobile Suit Gundam ranked second, with Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny third, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED fourth, and Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam fifth. Also, Mobile Suit Gundam WingMobile Suit Gundam ZZ ranked 20th. Gunpla's (Gundam Plastic model) holds 90% of the Japan character plastic model market. ranked 18th and

Academic fields in Japan have also viewed the series as a good inspiration in research fields, with the Gundam academy (or officially International Gundam Society) being the first academic institution based on an animated TV series. 

Concept

Mobile Suit Gundam was principally developed by renowned animator Yoshiyuki Tomino, along with a changing group of Sunrise creators who went under the collective pseudonym of "Hajime Yatate".

During its conceptual phase, the series was titled Freedom Fighter Gunboy, or simply Gunboy for the gun the robot was armed with, and the primary target demographic were shōnen (boys). In the early production stages, there were numerous references to the word "freedom": the White Base was originally "Freedom's Fortress", the Core Fighter was the "Freedom Wing", and the Gunperry was the "Freedom Cruiser". The Yatate team combined the English word "gun" with the last syllable of the word "freedom" to form the name Gundom. Tomino then changed it to the current title, suggesting that Gundam signified a powerful unit wielding a gun powerful enough to hold back enemies, like a hydroelectric dam holding back floods.

Most Gundams are large, bipedal vehicles controlled from cockpits by a human pilot. The majority of these "mobile suits" have a cockpit in the "torso" of the machine, with a camera built into the "head" to transmit images to the cockpit (with the exception of the head-mounted cockpits in Psyco Gundam) and are non-sentient machines, with the exceptions of the artificial intelligence A.L.I.C.E. in the side-story Gundam Sentinel and four mobile suits built with the EXAM System and sharing a Newtype human soul in The Blue Destiny.

Innovation

Mobile Suit Gundam is said to have pioneered the real robot era of mecha anime.^[11]

Unlike its super robot cousins, Gundam attempted a realism in the robot design and weaponry, by running out of energy and ammunition or breaking and malfunctioning. The technology is practical and is either derived from true science (such as Lagrange points in space and the O'Neill cylinder as a living environment) or at least well-explained, feasible technology, requiring only a few fictional elements to function (such as Minovsky Physics as a means of energy production from helium-3).^[12]

The necessity of developing humanoid robots is also explained, albeit fictional. The fictional Minovsky particle pervasive in Universal Century is depicted as interfering with radar-guided long-distance cruise missiles, anti-aircraft guns, missiles, and all early warning systems, with weapons systems having to rely on human eyes. In Universal Century, the space-based Principality of Zeon rebels against Earth Federation, requiring a weapons system that could function in zero and normal gravity and be able to open and close air locks, plant demolition charges, and engage with enemy tanks and planes; with a robotic giant being an excellent choice. Once mobile suits have been developed by one side, the opposing force had to develop a similar system, just as British invention of tanks lead to the development of tanks in Germany, and eventually lead to tank-to-tank battles.

Gundam's realistic scientific setting has gained a reputation in the field itself as well. On July 18, 2007, when MIT's Astronautics Department's Professor Dava Newman displayed a biosuit, the suit was referenced as Mobile Suit Gundam's Normal Suit is now real by various news agencies. On February 14, 2008, when NASA proposed research into nuclear thermal rockets, Technobahn, a scientific journal in Japan, referred to the usage of nuclear thermal rocket engines on mobile suits in the Gundam universe.

Narrative

The narrative itself revolves around the mobile suits and their pilots fighting in a war, in which destruction and dehumanization are inherent, through multiple sides; each faction having their own heroes and villains, all of which have their own unique motives, failings, and virtues. Gundam also features political battles and debates on various important philosophical issues and political ideals on the nature and meaning of war, the ideal of pacifism, and the continuing evolution - natural or engineered - of humanity and its consequences. These are often framed in the series as a debate between the protagonist and antagonist over the course of a duel, as they try to convince each other of the righteousness of their causes.

Finally, most of the stories are basically structured as "coming-of-age" dramas, where the main protagonist (and sometimes the main antagonist) and most of the cast's personalities, points of view, allegiances, goals, and actions may or may not change dramatically as events unfold. This makes the plot seem more realistic than earlier super robot animated series where the hero and cast usually act in the same predictable manner, with little connection between the episodes. The best example of this is how the personalities of longtime rivals, Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, are influenced by their experiences in the Gundam saga.

Characteristics and variations

As a metaseries, Gundam functions with different designs and coloring (with most following Kunio Okawara's original Gundam design). Producer Masahiko Asano wrote in his notes on the production of S Gundam that everyone seemed to have their own idea of Gundam and in the meeting, they were trying to find the asymptotic view for everyone in the meeting.^[16]

• In the Universal Century timeline, "Gundam" is the name of the Earth Federation's (Chikyū Renpō, 地球連邦) first experimental general-purpose mobile suit, which is incredibly powerful, compared to most of the mass-produced models eventually used by either side. Afterwards, many powerful mobile suits based on the Gundam's design also carry the name, such as the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam, LM312V04 Victory Gundam, etc. The Anaheim Gundams, or Greek alphabet Gundams are a series of mobile suits developed by the fictional company Anaheim Electronics, some of them are notably carrying different style heads than other Gundams in the series, like the Rick Dias (Gamma Gundam) and Hyaku Shiki (Delta Gundam). In this timeline, Gundam often stands for General-purpose Utility, Non Discontinuity Augmentation Maneuvering weapon system.
• In the Future Century timeline, the word "Gundam" refers to a space colony's entry in the "Gundam Fight", a competition that determines which colony would rule the Earth for the next 4 years. The pilots who use these Gundams are known as "Gundam Fighters". However, some suits that are called Gundams are not entries in the Gundam Fight at all, with the most operative examples being the JDG-009X (JDG-00X) Devil Gundam and the JMF-1336R (JMF1336R) Rising Gundam.
• In the After Colony timeline, the word "Gundam" refers to most mobile suits constructed out of a special alloy called "Gundanium", which can only be mined and produced in space. This alloy gives the Gundams high resistance to conventional weaponry and renders them stealthy under radar, due to its nature of absorbing electromagnetic radiation. Every Gundam has a unique name that befits the nature of the suit and/or its origins, such as the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam, XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe and the XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam.
• The After War timeline is a loose continuation of the Universal Century continuity, presenting an alternate scenario, with many of the mecha designs loosely based on Universal Century suits. The After War timeline features a post-apocalyptic setting where virtually all colonies orbiting earth were de-orbited, with the resulting cataclysm almost exterminating humankind.
• In the Correct Century timeline, the name "Gundam" is given to the SYSTEM ∀-99 (WD-M01) ∀ Gundam "Turn A"/White Doll mobile suit by a specific character, who was originally ace pilot, but placed under suspended animation. The color scheme of the Turn A reminds the character of the Gundam mobile suits from previous eras.
• In the Cosmic Era works, Gundams are mobile suits that carry a specific type of operating system, first secretly produced (without the programmer himself knowing what he is programming the system for) by the one of the protagonist's robotics research group, and faced a few upgrades by various factions throughout the story. The acronym of the operating system always spells "GUNDAM" , thus, these suits are called "Gundam". However, this is retconned by later toys and scale models tagging the "Gundam", after the unit's own name.
• In the Anno Domini timeline of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the term Gundam is the generic designation of a line of unique and highly effective mobile units developed by Celestial Being, such as the GN-001 Gundam Exia and GN-002 Gundam Dynames. Distinct from concurrently introduced weapons, suit torsos contain a core generator system known as the GN Drive or Solar Furnace, capable of sustaining independent unit function for an indefinite period of time without needing to refuel. In addition, onboard propulsion recycles the generator's GN particle exhaust for high-speed, virtually unlimited output. The particle exhaust disrupts the use of conventional radar and a range of wireless communications.

Calendar system

The majority of Gundam, including the earliest series, occur in the Universal Century (UC) calendar, with later series set in alternate calendars or timelines mostly unrelated to the UC system (at least three of these calendar systems were actually initially numbered after the year that the series premiered, with 1979's Mobile Suit Gundam taking place in UC 0079, 1995's Mobile Suit Gundam Wing in After Colony 195, and 2007's Mobile Suit Gundam 00 takes place in 2307).

• Mobile Fighter G Gundam takes place in the Future Century (FC), where space colonies have gained the upper hand over Earth, consequently attempting to put an end to the internal power struggles now plaguing the planet.
• Mobile Suit Gundam Wing takes place in the After Colony (AC) calendar system, set after the foundation of the first space colony, where Earth firmly maintains repressive control over its colonies.
• After War Gundam X takes place in the After War (AW) timeline, set after the conclusion of the 7th Space War, where the Earth is devastated by massive colony drops.
• ∀ Gundam takes place in the CC (正歴, Seireki^?) calendar system, which director Yoshiyuki Tomino intended as the distant future of all previous timelines. The CC sees the colonies becoming much stronger than the Earth, but unlike the FC timeline, takes a more aggressive stance towards it. The English acronym of CC is Correct Century (コレクトセンチュリー), in the official Japanese ∀ guide book.
• Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, its sequels, and spinoffs take place in the Cosmic Era, with CE referring to the years after the foundation of the first space colonies.
• The latest entry in the franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, is the first series to occur during the Anno Domini (西暦, Seireki^?) timeline.

Bandai and Japanese-speaking fans unofficially refer to projects not directly related to the first Gundam series or its staffers (such as Gundam Sentinel and Mobile Fighter G Gundam) as "Another Gundam" stories, and to projects made after 1989 as "Heisei Gundam" stories. On a survey for a video game that would become Gundam: True Odyssey, the Cosmic Era series (including Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray) were collectively referred to as "21st Century First Gundam" (a reference to the original Mobile Suit Gundam series). English-speaking fans have used the term "Alternate Universe" ("AU" for short) as a nickname for the stories that do not take place within the Universal Century timeline, but this is made unofficial for use in Japan.
