Allah Tak Pernah Ingkar Janji

Allah tidak pernah sekalipun ingkar janji, kepada saya yang pendosa ini saja, Allah begitu sabar dengan dosa - tobat - berdosa lagi- bertobat lagi, begitu berulang-ulang setiap saat.

Allah tak pernah ingkar janji, selalu mencukupi rizki pada mereka-mereka yang tidak percaya kepadaNya, kepada mereka yang mempertanyakan eksisntensiNya

Allah tak pernah ingkar janji kepada mereka yang mengimani, kepada mereka yang sangat tangguh untuk bersabar dan teguh dijalanNya

Alllah tak pernah ingkar janji pada rizki dan hikmah kepada masing-masing makhluk.

Ingat Nis,

Allah tak pernah ingkar janji.

MasyaAllah . Ya Allah beri kami kelembutan hatii

Seolah - olah hati mereka harus siap bahwa tangis itu mungkin akan datang setiap hari, setiap jam, menit, detik yang kan mereka lalui, bahwa kesedihan kehilangan yang dicintai itu mungkin kan datang bertubi-tubi. Ya Rabbi, hapuskan segala kesedihan mereka, beri mereka kekuatan. Engkau sebaik-baik pemberi balasan, hanya Engkau penolong kami :“)

Ya Allah, jika mereka harus merasakan seperti itu setiap hari, maka berikan lah kami yang disini kepekaan hati, untuk selalu ikut "bertempur” berpihak pada mujahid disana dengan senjata kaum muslimin paling mutakhir, bernama do'a. Tak ada kekuatan, melainkan dari Mu :“

Ya Rabb, bantu lah kami disini untuk tak melulu mengeluhkan urusan dunia, sedangkan mereka disana rela terluka, rela bertahan melawan segala bentuk kedzaliman, demi berjihad membela agama Mu. Berikan kami disini kelembutan hati, agar tak lalai bersebab urusan-urusan duniawi. Jadikanlah kami, pembela agama Mu.

Ya Allah, berikan kami disini kesadaran, bahwa ada saudara-saudara kami di belahan bumi sana, yang hari nya dihujani bom, senjata api yang siap meledakkan tubuh mereka, namun tak pernah sekalipun lisan mereka luput dari Qur'an, tak pernah hilang sekecil pun semangat mereka menghafal Qur'an.

Ya Allah, jadikan diri ini kelembutan hati untuk dapat melihat dan mengambil ibrah, bahwa taruhan nyawa yang mereka hadapi setiap hari, tak membuat mereka kehilangan semangat mendekatkan diri pada ilahi, tak sedikitpun takut mati, namun justru keta'atan makin menjadi-jadi. Ah iya, tentu lah kecintaan mereka pada agama ini, pada Rabb semesta alam ini, membuat mereka mampu seperti ini, berebut meraih gelar terbaik dari langit, gelar syuhada, yang diingini seluruh penduduk bumi.

Sungguh, kami dzalim, andai kami hanya berdiam diri. Mari, selipkan do'a teruntuk mereka saudara kita yang sedang terlukai.

Allahumma a'izzal islama wal muslimiin, Allahummansur ikhwanal muslimiina wal mujaahidiina fii palestine, fii suriah wa fii kulli makaan wa kulli zamaan…

Mari mulai aja dahulu 

The Art of Structure Engineering: Thomas Telford Bridges

The structure engineering was so powerful, they construct and design everything with efficient cost and elegance appearance. The combination of art and engineer or we can also be called it a combination of civil engineering and architecture engineer.

Chiefly, This section I want to discuss Great Britain and study the works

of Thomas Telford, and also two other men named Stephenson and Burnell.

I'm going to begin each section by defining some section goals and in this section,

the goals are to show how the definition and ideals of structural art began,

and as I mentioned, they began in Great Britain, Thomas Telford and also contrast the early of the iron bridge.

Come up with 3 collaboration in 3 aspects to analyses and give critique both the technical

and aesthetic aspects of the bridge design, These are efficient, elegance, and also the economy. The relation between 3 aspects shown by the picture below.

So with these changes, from the scientific point of view, we have a new material that is born

of the Industrial Revolution-iron. This revolution. From a social point of view, we have a new opportunity, industrialization. And from the symbolic point of view, we have a new vision, a new form for structures that we define as structural art. Before we going into so far, we should be understanding several keys to helping us understand,

 Ambiguous Form: Unclear how the forces are being carried

Cable : Structural element to resist tension only

Cantilever : a protruding rigid structural element, such as a beam or girder, anchored only at one end

Compression: application of inward forces to different points

Density : Mass per unit volume

Span : longest unsupported length

Spandrel: The planar like structure that connects the arch to the deck

Suspenders: vertical members suspending the deck, or carrying the loads to the main cable

Tension : Describes the pulling force exerted by each end of a road, truss member, or similar three dimensional object

 The raised of Iron-bridge, started by the regulation in the UK, One is we have Queen Elizabeth who outlaws woodcutting, the forests in Great Britain are getting diluted, So the Queen outlawed wood cutting. Moreover, Britain was adjusted free enterprise

Next, British Democracy encourages free enterprise. Britain wasn't really run from London.

The transportation system in Great Britain was pretty bad. And finally, island isolation provides political stability Great Britain avoided wars on Continental Europe and they hadn't been invaded for about 700 years. Therefore, there was a sense of security. So very briefly, that is the social context surrounding Great Britain and what allowed structural art to flourish in particular in Great Britain at that time. And the famous structural engineer of this era was Thomas Telford; born 1757, died 1834.

 THOMAS TELFORD  

 Thomas Telford; born 1757, died 1834. Now let's take a look at Thomas Telford's later works.

We started to look at the Craigellachie Bridge completed in 1814 spanning 150 feet.

Next, we're going to look at the Mythe Bridge completed in 1824 at about the same span, 170-foot span. And then finally the Menai Bridge completed in 1826. This is not an arch but is a 580 foot was a suspension bridge. With the design of the Craigellachie, Telford noticed that he made,

what he would call, essentially a mistake, and he corrected this with the Mythe Bridge.

Mythee Bridge,  source: Google picture

If we look at these two bridges we see that the landscape is different

so you might notice they are different bridges by the landscape.

But if you look at just the bridge itself, can you notice the difference

between the two bridges? Because they are very similar to one another.

The difference between the Craigellachie Bridge and the Mythe Bridge is in the spandrels.

It's in those diagonal members that connect the deck to the arch.

If you look closely at those diagonal members you'll see that they're oriented differently

in the Craigellachie versus the Mythe.

In the Craigellachie, if you take the bisector of those diagonal pieces you'll see

that bisector is normal to the arch.

It's coming perpendicular to the arch.

Whereas in the Mythe Bridge the bisector of those diagonals is vertical.

It's completely straight up and down.

In the Mythe Bridge, this is a more efficient way of carrying the loads.

The loads in those diagonals are more efficiently or more evenly distributed

between those diagonal members, whereas in the Craigellachie Bridge

in particular, those diagonals that are leaning or more horizontal are carrying much less load

then the diagonals that are more vertical.

Now we come to the Menai Bridge completed in 1826,

a 580-foot span suspension bridge designed by Thomas Telford.

Now there was a need to design this bridge and the need arose from the active union of 1800

which merged the Kingdom of Ireland with the Kingdom of Great Britain.

They needed to connect London to Dublin and to do that you had to go through the Island

of Anglesey all the way to the tip of Holyhead.

And to get to Holyhead and even Anglesey you had to cross the Menai Straits.

If you look at the side spans of this bridge we see that it has both arches and suspenders.

And this again is ambiguous.

It doesn't tell you clearly how those loads are being carried.

But Telford did this because he was concerned about the wind.

He wanted to make sure the back stands were heavy and anchored.

Just before the bridge opened, Telford's resident engineer noticed undulations

from gusting winds so Telford added bracing, which cut down the movement.

Ten years later, about two years after Telford's death,

the bridge keeper reported large oscillations and unfortunately no action was taken

and in 1839 a gale tore part of the roadway loose.

Telford's writings in the 1820s and his resident engineer's field observations showed how

horizontal wind can cause extensive vertical motion in a suspension bridge.

Unfortunately, this lesson in history was lost in the bridge designs to come, as we will see.

In the Menai Bridge, although the towers look heavy, they're actually hollow,

like in the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Bridge.

So Telford again is thinking about efficiency in his designs.

Let's use the Menai Bridge to define some terms for you as related to suspension bridges.

The first term that we have to understand is span.

When we talk about a span of a bridge we're talking about the longest unsupported length

and for suspension bridges, that distance is from one tower to the next.

Next, let's look at the cable.

The cable goes from anchor to tower, to the next tower, to the next anchor, and it is in tension.

And it's in tension due to the uniform loads imposed by the hanging suspenders.

The suspenders are the vertical elements that suspend, or support, the deck.

The form of that cable is parabolic.

I'm going to do a brief demonstration for you to show you the shape that these cables take

when loaded and it will give you a better sense for why the form

of a suspension bridge cable is parabolic.

In this demonstration, this chain represents the cable of a suspension bridge.

We know that the chain can only take tinsel forces.

It can't take any compression forces.

It could be stretched but it can't be squeezed.

So let's look at how the shape of this chain changes when we add loads.

So if I add one load right in the center we see the V shape that this chain takes.

But if I— Now, I'm going to add continuously load along this whole chain,

we're going to see it start to take the form of the cable

of a suspension bridge, which is a parabolic form.

Now you start to see the shape change a little bit more…

and more. So these weights represent essentially the load that's transferred from the suspender,

which is the vertical elements of a suspension bridge, to the cable.

And it's the load represented by the weight of the deck.

And we see that as I add more and more of these loads along the chain, we're starting to see

that parabolic form takes shape, which is the shape of the cable in a suspension bridge.

Telford designed his bridges for carriage loads but the railroad age was approaching

and that is where we move to next.

See you in the next Section guys :).

10 Zdulhijjah.

Aku tidak akan menyerah pada hidup

Akan ku cari Ridho Allah

Mengikhlaskan yang sudah terjadi

Dan tetap melakukan yang terbaik.

Ya Allah ya Mujib

Kabulkanlah doa Hamba 🤲🤲🤲

Recently I found my ultimate self-healing, is that photography. Yes, basically I loved seeing something awesome, gergorious, landscapes and potraits. This is my precious golden hours. By riding my motorcycle I catch up this landscape in the Highway. Enjoy.

Tulisan ini mungkin mengandung trigger.

Butuh waktu yang cukup lama untuk mengubah pola pikir di kepala yang depresif. Sebelum ibu wafat, saya sering merasakan bahwa dunia ini bukan tempat saya. Bukan karena saya punya masalah di sekitar. Perasaan semacam itu ada dengan sendirinya. Makanya ketika saya membaca dongeng Le Petite Prince, saya merasa relate dalam beberapa hal. Tentang penulis yang mengeluh harus menyesuaikan bahan pembicaraan dengan orang dewasa agar bisa diterima di lingkungan. Tentang kerinduannya punya teman dengan isi kepala seperti Pangeran Kecil dan seterusnya dan seterusnya.

Adakalanya, kita perlu mengambil jarak yang jauh dari pikiran-pikiran kita. Agar kita memahami bahwa pikiran tersebut hanyalah mewakili sedikit saja bagian dari kita. Pikiran tersebut tidak mewakili keseluruhan yang ada dalam diri kita. Kita berhak untuk tidak meresponnya, kita juga berhak untuk berdialog baik-baik dengannya,

Kepergian orang-orang di sekitar saya membuat saya merasakan kematian ternyata tidak begitu jauh. Dulu, setiap kali merasakan suicidal thought, saya sering bertanya dalam sholat:

Kenapa manusia tidak bisa memilih kapan waktu berpulang?

Sekarang saya merasakan bahwa hidup di dunia itu singkat saja. Jadi, di waktu yang singkat ini, lakukan hal-hal yang menurut kita baik. Selebihnya, pasrahkan semua sama Allah. Sudah lama banget rasanya saya merapal mantra:

Hiduplah dengan baik, makan yang cukup, tunaikan semua amanah dengan baik, jangan memendam rasa marah kepada sesama manusia. Suatu saat kita pasti berpulang, pulanglah dengan hati yang tenang.

Saya merasakan mata saya basah ketika menulis ini. 

Ada teman yang bertanya tentang takdirnya. Kenapa keinginan mereka tidak tercapai, kenapa ada orang yang dengan sengaja menyakiti orang lain dan seterusnya dan seterusnya. 

Sementara saya sejak dulu jarang sekali bertanya tentang itu. Saya sudah lama belajar bahwa dunia itu tidak sempurna dan tidak akan pernah sempurna. Yang bisa kita lakukan ya cuma berbuat baik dengan apa yang kita genggam. Jangan berharap kamu bisa merubah dunia menjadi jauh lebih baik hanya karena satu tindakan.

Kita terlalu sering didoktrin tentang menjadi pahlawan. Padahal untuk dunia yang lebih baik, kita tidak butuh setinggi itu. Untuk dunia yang lebih baik, kita justeru perlu kebaikan-kebaikan kecil yang continue dan mungkin saja tidak terlihat. Pahlawan kalau di puncak malah rawan sekali jatuh menjadi manusia yang tidak berguna karena rasa takabburnya. Maka dalam kehidupan yang singkat ini, saya berharap bisa dilindungi dari keramaian yang menyilaukan. Biarkan saya duduk tenang di tempat yang sunyi. Melakukan hal-hal yang saya suka tanpa terlalu banyak mendengarkan dunia luar. 

Tapi, balik lagi, tidak semua keinginan kita bisa terpenuhi. Dunia ini terlalu ramai bagi kita yang ingin ketenangan. Kita tidak bisa sama sekali menghindarkan telinga dari kritik dan pujian. Kita yang harus memilih kata apa saja yang perlu kita dengar dan kata apa saja yang tidak biar kita bisa hidup dengan lebih baik lagi dari hari ke hari.

Hidup dengan pikiran yang selalu mengingatkan tentang mati ternyata justeru membuat kita semakin mencintai kehidupan. Lakukan kebaikan-kebaikan kecil sampai waktunya pulang.

Surat Untuk Erlangga ( disclaimer : the name was not the real name)

When I told you how I should growing into strong and tough woaman Er, This new year opening was so extravagant for me because as you know that so many accidents was happened and succeeded make me surprised. And the worse ones that all of that was a BAD NEWS for me.

Chiefly I heard that my unfairness boss in my office tried to hold me in that unwanted situation. Next suddenly my neighbor-cat was attacked by motorcycle, and then I heard that YOU KNOW WHO going mecca with "her", and lately was yesterday that was my toughest day. I heard 2 bad news first is about your leaving and second. My eyes was an extraordinarily so I should follow the most expensive and more procedures to fix my eyes. That really make me sad and down yan.

But, on ther side I felt so shame with you. How was you so tough and strong through of your l brengsek things, you was become my real teacher Er, how to controls my soul and emotion. Once I remembered that I was has a best friend who that real has a very beautiful soul. All i said thank you.

Last paragraph, I hope that your future life will better and full of His blessings. And I wish that of your hardships can lead you and your family in a better place in akhirat Aminn. see you kak Erlangga ❤️

"Milik Allah lah apa yang ada di langit dan apa yang ada di bumi. Jika kamu nyatakan apa yang ada di dalam hatimu atau kamu sembunyikan, niscaya Allah memoerhitungkannya bagimu. Dia mengampuni siapa yang Dia kehendaki dan mengazab siapa yang dia kehendaki . Allah maha kuasa atas segala sesuatu" )m( QS. Al Baqarah : 284)
