Be a community that calls for what is good, urges what is right, and forbids what is wrong: those who do this are the successful ones. (3.104)

You are the best community ever raised for humanity—you encourage good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah. (3.110)

Yet they are not all alike. There are some among the People of the Book who are upright, who recite Allah’s revelations throughout the night, prostrating in prayer. They believe in Allah and the Last Day, encourage good and forbid evil, and race with one another in doing good. They are truly among the righteous. (3.113-114)

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous. They are those who spend in prosperity and adversity, control their anger, and pardon others. And Allah loves the good-doers. (3.133-134)

It was thanks to Allah's mercy that you were gentle to them. Had you been harsh, or hard-hearted, they would have dispersed and left you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them. Consult them in the matter and, once you have taken a decision, place your trust in Allah. Surely, Allah loves those who place their trust in Him. (3.159)

Give women their bridal gift upon marriage, though if they are happy to give up some of it for you, you may enjoy it with a clear conscience. (4.4)

And do not give the weak-minded your property, which Allāh has made a means of sustenance for you. But feed and clothe them from it, and speak to them kindly. (4.5)

If other relatives, orphans, or needy people are present at the distribution, give them something too, and speak kindly to them. (4.8)

So let them fear Allâh and speak right words. (4.9)

You who believe, it is not lawful for you to inherit women against their will, nor should you treat your wives harshly, hoping to take back some of the bride-gift you gave them, unless they are found guilty of adultery. Live with your wives in a good manner. if you dislike them, it may well be that you dislike something in which God has put much good. (4.19)

But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount in gifts, do not take back from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin? And how could you take it back after having enjoyed each other intimately and she has taken a strong pledge from you? (4.20-21)

Sometimes, I feel this pressure building in my chest—an unnamed heaviness, dull and low, like an overcast sky that never quite lets the rain fall. And on those days, I want to scream—not in anger, but in mourning. As if I’m grieving for something vague and distant, maybe even imaginary. I want to scream part of my thoughts into the void, hoping they'll scatter and settle somewhere. Not to be heard. Not to be understood. Just to exist beyond me. And yet, I’ve spent too much time—years, even—thinking too hard about the logistics of screaming into the void. Like, which app do I use? There’s X (the husk formerly known as Twitter). I thought about it, briefly. But the place feeds on instant judgment. It devours you the moment you step outside the boundaries of the identity you've unintentionally built. I think some people followed me because of one hit tweet—one viral moment that said, “This is who I am.” But I’m not that moment. Not anymore. Maybe I never was. Now, when I post anyt...

07.10 pagi, LRT Jatimulya arah ke Dukuh Atas sempat mogok sekitar 300 m sebelum masuk ke Stasiun LRT Cawang. Setidaknya, aku melihat dua kotak lampu merah di panel kendali kabin. Satu di pojok kanan atas. Satu di tengah-tengah baris paling atas. Masinis sibuk memfoto layar dashboard. Beberapa saat kemudian, seseorang berseragam INKA (baju abu-abu tua + lanyard IMSS) ikut bergegas masuk ke kabin. Ia menggunakan kunci kabin yang berwujud seperti kunci letter T kecil untuk masuk ke dalam. Ada kotak panel yang dibuka. Sepertinya mereka sedang mengusahakan untuk mengambil alih kendali kereta secara manual. Pak Masinis berusaha melihat nomor kode seri kereta yang tertulis di atas kabin : TS 18 MC 01 / K1 1 20 79. Sepertinya beliau ingin mengirimkan laporan ke grup koordinasi. Pada layar monitor berlogo Siemens, muncul tampilan UI yang belum pernah ku lihat sebelumnya. Akhirnya, LRT pun perlahan mulai bergerak lagi. Maju sedikit ke depan, sampai...

Musholla itu terletak di tepi jalan raya yang cukup ramai. Bagian selasar luarnya juga dipakai untuk tempat shalat, kalau jamaahnya sedang membludak. Selasar luar itu terletak tepat di tepi jalan raya, hanya dipisahkan oleh pagar yang cukup pendek. Jika ada orang yang berdiri shalat di selasar itu, pandangannya langsung menghadap orang-orang yang lalu lalang di jalan raya. Bisa tidak khusyuk. Oleh karena itu, DKM musholla biasanya membangun sebuah tenda sederhana menggunakan kain sebagai sisi tembok darurat selasar luar. Agar pengguna jalan tidak bisa melihat orang shalat, dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Tenda itu hanya dibangun pada saat-saat penting, khususnya ketika jamaah sedang membludak. Salah satu saat penting itu adalah hari ini. Nisfu sya'ban. Mulai magrib, jamaah datang cukup membludak. DKM musholla sampai menyewa ruko yang ada tepat di samping musholla sebagai ruangan tempat shalat tambahan bagi ibu-ibu. Setelah shalat magrib, dilanjutkan dengan penyampaian instruksi oleh pa...
