House by The Sea - Moddi

They say home is the place where your heart is
then I am home now though I am far away
for so long I’ve let deep forests guard it
and now it’s begging me to stay
and I’m trying my best to be tough
to pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
but I’m not who I wanted to be
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea

they say home is a place where you’re needed
then I am home now but I am leaving
to feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
and I’ll be silent and kiss it back
this is not who I want you to see
it’s just adding on weight to the darkness in me
and from the little I have understood
I believe that a house by the sea would do good

they say home is a place you can choose to be
and I’ve decided to carry home inside me
so it’s not really as if I am leaving
it’s more like something pulling me

‘cause behind everything that I do
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
in my heart in my mind I am already there
yeah behind everything that I do
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
and then I’ll be who I wanted to be
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea

1. bersyukurlah bila malam ini engkau masih berada dalam taat | bersabarlah dan belajar hargai kesendirian daripada maksiat
2. jalan kebaikan memang terjal mendaki, diatas menanti keindahan pasti | jalan keburukan kaya janji, namun tak ada kejelasan pasti
3. malam minggu tiada dipakai yang berpacar kecuali menuju jalan sesat | menggadai masa depan demi enak yang sesaat
4. satu malam minggu untuk berlatih abai dengan ketentuan Allah | jadi undangan atas seumur hidup mereka tumpukan masalah
5. satu malam minggu untuk sesaat rasa yang terlarang | dengan taruhan kehormatan yang satu-satunya yang tak mungkin diulang
6. andai setiap Muslimah pandai mengintip masa depan | tentu menanti cinta halal memadu kasih bersama suami lebih menyenangkan
7. kala suami jadi kekasih pertama, tiada masa lalu yang hadir jadi hantu | tak ada yang perlu jadi rahasia, kehormatanmu sudah tentu
8. bilakah tiap Muslimah memikirkan sedikit akan hari esok | menyendiri karena Allah lebih jauh lagi elok
9. saat setiap sujud patuh dihadirkan tanpa kemunafikan | karena kemuliaan diri masih utuh terjaga karena ketaatan
10. kalaulah setiap Muslimah berkelana akal akan satu masa | saat harus bercerita pada anak-anaknya saat dia masih muda
11. bangga tentu terasa saat bisa akui kepada keturunan | “bahwa ummi persembahkan pada abimu, sepenuh diri dan hati, ialah kesucian”
12. itulah yang sekarang engkau jaga saat yang lain terlena malam mingguan | satu-satunya kehormatan dan kemuliaan, ialah kesucian
13. suci dari pandangan dan sentuhan lelaki tak miliki hak | karena belum berani datangi wali-mu dan berikan mahar yang jadi hak
14. suci dari rayuan dan janji yang datang dari lisan yang belum sah | karena belum berani ucapkan sesederhana akad nikah
15. wanita selalu akan dilihat dari masa lalu | dan kesendirianmu karena engkau menghormati masa depanmu
16. nikah itu saat untuk melihat kedepan, bukan diberatkan masa lalu | untuk nikah maka pantaskan diri mapan, bukan pacaran lebih dulu
17. biarlah yang memilih disibukkan dengan maksiat tiada guna | dzikirkan lebih banyak nama-Nya, pelajari lebih dalam agama-Nya
18. karena malam mingguan sungguh bukan persiapan pernikahan | hanya nafsu syahwat yang dibungkus legitimasi bernama pernikahan
19. memahami Al-Qur’an barulah persiapan membentuk keluarga masa depan | karena didalamnya berisi petunjuk sepanjang zaman
20. mempelajari Al-Hadits barulah persiapan menjadi imam yang baik | karena isinya perilaku dan tindakan manusia dan lelaki terbaik
21. hafalan ayat akan jadi nasihat, lafal hadits bisa jadi tausiyah | itu rahasia romantisme, keluarga nan sakinah
22. jangan dipusingkan dengan kaidah “mana mungkin nikah bila tak kenal dia” | karena Allah menautkan hati insan-insan yang mengenal-Nya
23. bila engkau meyakini Allah yang memegang hati setiap manusia | maka perkenalan ratusan tahun pun akan percuma bila Dia tak ridha
24. namun yang sama-sama mencintai Allah | maka hitungan waktu tak banyak mereka perlukan untuk belajar mencinta-kasih
25. maka memantaskan diri dengan penuhi segala kewajiban kepada Allah | adalah doa terbaik bagimu untuk meminta pendamping nan salih
26. bagi Muslimah, dia tutupi dirinya dengan hijab dan menjaga perilaku | maka itulah doa terbaik meminta suami berilmu
27. bagi Muslim, dia panjangkan sujud malam dan perbanyak puasa sunnah | maka itulah doa terbaik menghampiri Muslimah nan salihah
28. bukan dengan janji sebelum siap, atau memintanya menanti | ah, tiada kemana bila Allah kehendak, mungkin Allah siapkan yg lebih baik?
29. penuhi kewajiban, perbanyak yang sunnah | insyaAllah itulah wasilah perantaraan doamu pada Allah
30. bukan malam mingguan tiada juntrungan miskin komitmen | melainkan sibukkan penuhi kewajiban pada Allah sebagai persiapan :)

Mari Memantaskan Diri

Lebih mulia memendam dan menghijab perasaan daripada mengeluarkannya tapi nanti larinya ke maksiat.

Yakinlah ada emas diantara pasir, ada cahaya diantara kegelapan, ada yang #JOSH diantara yang pacaran | #JOSH ~> JOmblo Sampai Halal

“Ketika yang lain sibuk pacaran sana-sini | mari kita sibukkan diri ini dengan cara memantaskan diri”

Kalau pacaran itu ujung-ujungnya putus, putus silaturahim, benci, alergi mantan, dll.. so, kenapa harus pacaran? #MariMemantaskanDiri

Tugas kita sebagai penanti jodoh hanyalah memantaskan diri, bukannya sibuk pacaran sana-sini.

“Yakini diri sendiri bahwa jodoh itu di tangan Allah, nggak mungkin tertukar karena kita diciptakan berpasang-pasangan, pantaskan diri sajalah”

Tentang siapa jodoh kita? bagaimana bentuknya? kulitnya? wajahnya? nggak usah over menghayal deh! pantaskan diri aja karena Allah Maha Adil.

“Ya benar, memantaskan diri, bukan memaksiati diri”

Kalau ada yang masih meragukan jodohnya dari Allah maka dia juga meragukan kematiannya, karena sesungguhnya jodoh dan mati itu sama-sama rahasia Allah.

Masalah jodoh itu sama dengan masalah rejeki, mesti di-ikhtiari untuk mendapatkannya, tentunya bukan ikhtiar pacaran tapi memantaskan diri.

Jodoh itu Allah yang memberi, tugas kita mempersiapkan diri, memantaskan diri untuk menerimanya. Pacaran bukan caranya menerimanya.

Banyak diantara kita yang ingin masuk surga tapi jalannya salah. banyak yang ingin jodoh yang sholeh tapi diri sendiri belum soleh. #MariMemantaskanDiri!

Kita harus menyiapkan wadah untuk menerima air yang lebih banyak, begitupula dengan jodoh, kita harus seperti dia untuk menerimanya

Punya impian memiliki jodoh yang sholeh nan alim tapi diri masih suka bermaksiat, gimana bisa cocok? | #MariMemantaskanDiri

Emang pacaran menjamin kalau itu udah jodoh dan sudah cocok buat kita? Tidakkan?! Hanya Allah yg tau..

Mari memantaskan diri, gak usah pacaran sana-sini, itu gak syar’i, biarlah Allah yang menyeleksi, hanya Dia yang tau yang terbaik buat diri ini.

“Kalau yang lain memandangmu sebelah mata karena kamu jomblo, maka pandanglah ia dengan seutuh mata bahwa ku lebih mulia”
