Mencintai Kaum Dhuafa

Mencintai Kaum Dhuafa
Alhamdulillah hari ini kita umat Islam sedang merayakan Hari Raya Idhul Adha 1432 H.Banyak kaum muslim yang setelah menunaikan shalat Ied lalu yang berkorban mendatangi ke masjid-masjid dan surau-surau untuk menyaksikan penyembelihan hewan kurban dan nantinya daging-daging itu dibagikan kepada saudara-saudara kita yang membutuhkan termasuk di dalamnya adalah kaum dhuafa. Dan diantara bagian dari kaum dhuafa ini adalah anak-anak gelandangan, maka postingan kita kali akan akan sedikit membahas mengenai hal ini.

Perjalanan hidup ini berliku-liku.Pasang surut.Terkadang terasa enak namun juga kadang terasa tidak enak.Akan tetapi semua rasa itu tergantung bagaimana kita menyikapinya.Seperti tatkala menyaksikan anak-anak gelandangan yang seringkali kita lihat bertebaran di pinggir jalan, kalau pola pikir kita bermuatan ‘negatif’, maka kita akan melihat ‘sampah-sampah’ berkeliaran yang hanya membuat sesak di muka bumi ini.

Namun, jika muatan pola pikir kita positif, maka kita akan berfikir, kasihan akan nasib mereka yang tidak seberuntung kita.Kemudian kita akan mencari-cari cara bagaimana untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup dan sekolah mereka agar menjadi layaknya seorang manusia.


Dan diantaranya tandanya mencintai kaum dhuafa adalah kita akan menyisihkan sedikit rejeki yang kita dapatkan buat mereka.Sebab sesungguhnya Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala yang telah memberikan ‘modal’ berupa kesehatan sehingga kita bisa bekerja, lalu Allah pula lah yang telah mengaruniakan hasil yang baik dari pekerjaan kita ini.

Penduduk Indonesia ini bejumlah kurang lebih 220 juta lebih.Katakan saja umat Islam di Indonesia negeri kita tercinta ini berjumlah 150 juta jiwa.kalau seandainya semua umat Islam di Indonesia mau menyisihkan 200 rupiah saja buat fakir miskin maka Indonesia telah mampu mengimpulkan uang 1,5 milyar dalam sehari.Bagaimana jika seminggu ? Setahun ? tentunya akan banyak sekali jumlahnya.Dan Indonesia akan menjadi negeri yang makmur.

Semoga dengan semangat berkurban kita akan lebih peduli lagi kepada saudara-saudara kita yang masih kurang beruntung ini.Mari kita implementasikan semangat berbagi ini dihari-hari yang akan datang dan bukan hanya pas hari raya Qurban saja.
Lalu bagaimana dengan pendapat sobat-sobat semua...Silakan memberikan pandangan atau pun komentarnya ya sobat...Terima kasih

We continued our examination of World War I today by watching a short video on the nature of warfare in the Great War from the CBS News Series on WWI called "The Trenches". I also continued with my PowerPoint lecture on the Causes of World War I, which I will post on the wiki this weekend. I also started looking at the concept of total war and specific battles within World War I. Next week, we'll look at Canada's role in the First World War as well as the role of the United States and Latin American countries in the conflict. Make sure that you keep up with the material covered in class, you may be assessed on it at any time.

We continued watching "Scream Bloody Murder" today, and we will continue with this documentary on Tuesday. We also decided on projects for the Unit 2 Research Project. On Monday, please come to Room 111, then we will proceed down to the library.

Hopefully you were able to put to good use the time that you were given in class today. Here's a list of when upcoming assignments are due:
  • Cold War Events Booklet is due on Monday, November 7th
  • Southeast Asia Package is due on Monday, November 7th

I gave you some more time to complete your Cold War Events booklets, by giving you about 30 minutes to work with the Cold War and After books. I gave you some notes on the Korean War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and at the end of class you had some time to read them over. I showed you a video from the BBC 20th Century History series on the Cuban Missile Crisis called "Mr. Kennedy and Khrushchev". Please remember that your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday.

I went through part of a PowerPoint presentation from the Genocide Watch website called "The Eight Stages of Genocide", and as I was going through it you were to take notes on the lecture. You can find a link to the Genocide Watch website under Social 20-1 Links if you are interested in looking at the entire PowerPoint lecture again. We started watching a CNN Special called "Scream Bloody Murder" that covers genocide in the 20th and 21st centuries. As you are watching this video you are strongly encouraged to take notes on these examples of genocide.

I did a quick homework check on the material from the History of the 20th Century textbook and the analysis of the editorial cartoon that illustrated the responsibility of WWI. You spent most of the period working on your IA in the library.

We finished watching "White Light/Black Rain" today in class, and completed the film study sheet that goes along with this video. Tomorrow we will look at contemporary examples of genocide.

Today was a busy day since we started working on the Cold War Events booklet by using Perspectives on Ideology and the Cold War and After booklets. You will get some class time tomorrow to work on these booklets as well. We watched a video from the History's Turning Points series on the Korean War and another video on the construction of the Berlin Wall. We'll continue our historical progression through the Cold War by examining the Cuban Missile Crisis tomorrow. Please remember that your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday.

We had a brief discussion on current events, namely Palestine's inclusion in UNESCO and the Israeli government's reaction to this, the Greek referendum issue, and current developments in the Occupy Calgary situation. We then switched gears and finished watching the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand episode of the BBC series "Days That Shook the World". We then continued looking at the techniques and practices of the First World War, specifically trench warfare. We'll continue this topic on Friday.
