And recall when the hypocrites and those whose hearts were diseased said: 'Their faith has deluded these believers.' But he who puts his trust in Allah shall find Allah All-Mighty. All-Wise. (8.49)

And if you see signs of betrayal by a people, respond by openly terminating your treaty with them. Surely Allah does not like those who betray. (8.58)

Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly. (8.60)

If the enemy is inclined towards peace, make peace with them. And put your trust in Allah. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (8.61)

But if they intend to deceive you - then sufficient for you is Allāh. It is He who supported you with His help and with the believers. (8.62)

He brought their hearts together. Had you spent all the riches in the earth, you could not have united their hearts. But Allah has united them. Indeed, He is Almighty, All-Wise. (8.63)

Prophet, urge the believers to fight: if there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred, and a hundred of you, if steadfast, will overcome a thousand of the disbelievers, for they are people who do not understand. (8.65)

As for the disbelievers, they are guardians of one another. And unless you believers act likewise, there will be great oppression and corruption in the land. (8.73)

And those who believed afterwards and migrated and strove along with you: they belong to you. But those related by blood are nearer to one another according to the Book of Allah. Allah has knowledge of everything. (8.75)

As for those who have honoured the treaty you made with them and who have not supported anyone against you: fulfil your agreement with them to the end of their term. God loves those who are mindful of Him. (9.4)

And if any of those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity seeks asylum, grant him asylum that he may hear the Word of Allah, and then escort him to safety for they are a people who do not know. (9.6)

Behave in a straight manner with them so long as they behave with you in a straight manner for Allah loves the Godfearing. (9.7)

How, when, if they were to get the upper hand over you, they would not respect any tie with you, of kinship or of treaty? They please you with their tongues, but their hearts are against you and most of them are lawbreakers. (9.8)

With regard to a believer, they respect not the ties, either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who are the transgressors. (9.10)

But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your religion with disapproval and criticism, then fight the leaders of disbelief - for surely their oaths are nothing to them - so that they may stop. (9.12)

Would you not fight a people who broke their oaths and conspired to expel the Messenger, and it was they who started fighting against you for the first time? Do you fear them? But Allah has greater right that you fear Him, if you are believers. (9.13)

Do you think that you will be left without Allah proving who among you truly struggles in His cause and never takes trusted allies other than Allah, His Messenger, or the believers? And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. (9.16)

Those who have believed, emigrated, and strived in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allah. It is they who will triumph. (9.20)

O believers! Do not take your parents and siblings as trusted allies if they choose disbelief over belief. And whoever of you does so, they are the true wrongdoers. (9.23)

Say, “If your parents and children and siblings and spouses and extended family and the wealth you have acquired and the trade you fear will decline and the homes you cherish—if all these are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and struggling in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His Will. Allah does not guide the rebellious people.” (9.24)

Surely, the number of months according to Allah is twelve as written in the Book of Allah on the day He created the heavens and the Earth. (9.36)

Believers, why, when it is said to you, ‘Go and fight in God’s way,’ do you feel weighed down to the ground? Do you prefer this world to the life to come? How small the enjoyment of this world is, compared with the life to come! If you do not march forth, He will afflict you with a painful torment and replace you with other people. You are not harming Him in the least. And Allah is Most Capable of everything. (9.38-39)

Even if you do not help the Prophet, God helped him when the disbelievers drove him out: when the two of them were in the cave, he said to his companion, ‘Do not worry, God is with us,’ and God sent His calm down to him, aided him with forces invisible to you, and brought down the disbelievers’ plan. God’s plan is higher: God is almighty and wise. (9.40)

March forth whether it is easy or difficult for you, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if only you knew. (9.41)

Had the gain been within reach and the journey shorter, they would have followed you, but the distance seemed too long for them. And they will swear by Allah, “Had we been able, we would have certainly joined you.” They are ruining themselves. And Allah knows that they are surely lying. (9.42)

May Allah pardon you! Why did you give them permission to stay behind before those who told the truth were distinguished from those who were lying? (9.43)

Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day will never ask your leave to be excused from striving with their belongings and their lives. Allah fully knows the God-fearing. (9.44)

No one would ask for exemption except those who have no faith in Allah or the Last Day, and whose hearts are in doubt, so they are torn by their doubts. (9.45)

Had they really intended to march forth, they would have made preparations for it. But Allah disliked that they should go, so He let them lag behind, and it was said to them, “Stay with those who remain behind.” (9.46)

They would only have given you trouble if they had gone out to battle with you: they would have scurried around, trying to sow discord among you, and some of you would willingly have listened to them- God knows exactly who does evil. (9.47)

If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger had given them and said, “Allah is sufficient for us! Allah will grant us out of His bounty, and so will His Messenger. To Allah alone we turn with hope.” (9.59)

Alms-tax is only for the poor and the needy, for those employed to administer it, for those whose hearts are attracted to the faith, for freeing slaves, for those in debt, for Allah’s cause, and for travellers. This is an obligation from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (9.60)

If you question them, they will certainly say, “We were only talking idly and joking around.” Say, “Was it Allah, His revelations, and His Messenger that you ridiculed?” (9.65)

The hypocrites, both men and women, are all alike: they encourage what is evil, forbid what is good, and withhold what is in their hands. They neglected Allah, so He neglected them. Surely the hypocrites are the rebellious. (9.67)

The believers, both men and women, are guardians of one another. They encourage good and forbid evil, establish prayer and pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. It is they who will be shown Allah’s mercy. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (9.71)

O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination. (9.73)

And there are some who had made a vow to Allah: “If He gives us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity and be of the righteous.” But when He gave them out of His bounty, they withheld it and turned away indifferently. So He caused hypocrisy to plague their hearts until the Day they will meet Him, for breaking their promise to Allah and for their lies. (9.75-77)

Those who defame such of the believers who give charity in Allâh’s Cause voluntarily, and such who could not find to give charity except what is available to them - so they mock at them believers; Allâh will throw back their mockery on them, and they shall have a painful torment. (9.79)

There is no blame on the weak, the sick, or those lacking the means ˹if they stay behind˺, as long as they are true to Allah and His Messenger. There is no blame on the good-doers. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Nor is there any blame on those who came to you for mounts, then when you said, “I can find no mounts for you,” they left with eyes overflowing with tears out of grief that they had nothing to contribute. (9.92)

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...
