Bencana tanggal 26 akan menjadi topik pembahasan dalam artikel saya kali ini. Seperti kita ketahui dalam waku belakangan banyak ulasan tentang bencana tanggal 26. Apakah 26 merupakan simbol yang menakutkan?

  • 26 November 2011, Kutai Kartanegara: Jembatan Tenggarong sepanjang sekitar 720 meter di Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara, Kalimantan Timur, Indonesia, ambruk di sore hari (Sabtu 26 November 2011). Bagian tengah jembatan runtuh tak terlihat lagi di permukaan air. Hanya tampak dua tiang pancang yang tertinggal.
Bila melihat dari data kejadian diatas, menunjukkan bahwa bencana pada tanggal 26 memang sering terjadi dan merupakan sebuah peringatan. Namun apakah kita harus menjadikan tanggal 26 itu menjadi bagian menakutkan?
Sekarang coba kita lihat di surat Al-Baqarah (Ini surat ke-2 dalam Al Qur'an) ayat 6 (bila digabungkan menjadi 26).

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Artinya: "Sesungguhnya orang-orang kafir, sama saja bagi mereka, kamu beri peringatan atau tidak kamu beri peringatan, mereka tidak akan beriman." (Al Qur'an, Al-Baqarah:6)

Berikut ini tafsiran surat Al-Baqarah Ayat 6 yang diambil dari kitab “Zubdah at-Tafsîr Min Fat-h al-Qadîr” (selanjutnya disingkat; Zub) karya DR. Muhammad Sulaiman bin Abdullah al-Asyqar (yang merupakan ringkasan dari kitab tafsir “Fat-h al-Qadîr” karya Imam asy-Syawkany). Tafsirnya adalah: Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang bersikeras/ngotot dalam mengingkari risalahmu wahai Muhammad, serta mengingkari juga ayat-ayat yang jelas yang engkau bawa padahal kebenaran bagi mereka sudah jelas disamping tidak adanya syubhat/kesamar-samaran serta keyakinan mereka bahwa engkau adalah orang yang jujur ; (namun begitu) peringatanmu kepada mereka tidak akan bermanfaat sama sekali bagi mereka karena mereka hanya mengikuti hawa nafsu mereka belaka.

Lalu kita lihat di surat Al-'An`ām (ini surat ke-6 dalam alquran) ayat 2. (bila digabungkan menjadi 62 jika dibalikkan maka menjadi 26).

هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَىٰ أَجَلًا ۖ وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى عِندَهُ ۖ ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ
Artinya: "Dialah Yang menciptakan kamu dari tanah, sesudah itu ditentukannya ajal (kematianmu), dan ada lagi suatu ajal yang ada pada sisi-Nya (yang Dia sendirilah mengetahuinya), kemudian kamu masih ragu-ragu (tentang berbangkit itu)." (Al Qur'an, Al-'An`ām:6)

Itulah mengapa Rasulullah Muhammad SAW menerima wahyu pertama surat Al-`Alaq:1-3. 

Sekarang terserah bagi anda yang membaca tulisan ini. Apakah Anda mempercayainya atau tidak, ada banyak bencana lainnya yang tidak hanya terjadi pada tanggal 26 (bencana/kematian bisa datang kapan saja). Bencana-bencana tersebut merupakan pertanda ataupun peringatan, karena segala sesuatu sudah ditetapkan oleh Allah SWT.

    Bring back the old facebook chat instead the new one

    After been a long time have not been logged to facebook chat, i found the worst development in it, yup it's the new facebook chat sidebar.
    Do you hate the new facebook chat sidebar?
    I do, and almost of all facebook users. It makes us confuse to chat with our friends because our friends who is offline is shown too, it's very useless.
    There is already the script to reverse the facebook chat to the previous version instead, which is written by Enzyme.
    You can only use it at these browsers; Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera with Greasemonkey add-ons/extensions is installed into the browser.
    Next step, you must install
    Facebook Sidebar Chat Reversion script into your browser, you may enable/disable the script via the option menu on your browser later.

    Before
    "Facebook Sidebar Chat Reversion script" installed.


    After
    "Facebook Sidebar Chat Reversion script" installed.


    I love the old version facebook chat, the chat bar can group your friends into their respective friends lists as well as let you edit these lists or toggle them on/off.

    Registry Tweaks to Speed Up Windows 7

    Microsoft's OS Windows 7 is already very fast and reliable, but there is a registry script which can tweak a few internal settings to optimize your system performance and add a few useful extras in right click context menu at files/folder.

    You can do it by make the registry key command script with notepad, follow the instruction below how to make those registry key. 



    Type the script below into notepad:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    Then save the file by using "Save As" then choose "Save as type" "All Files" with the file name you desire.
    For example I use "Windows 7 Registry Tweaks.reg" (without quotation).

    Then open the ".reg" files you've made, when the registry editor ask your confirmation to change the registry key then click yes. Now you're done, restart your system to take affect and you will definitely experience the tweaking affect.

    If you are worried about what this registry script is going to do in your system, then here is a description of all the tweaks included in those script command:
    • Adds "Copy To" and "Move To" options in files and folders context menu, so that you can easily copy and move them to other locations.
    • Sets Windows to automatically end task of programs which are either hanged or taking longer time than expected to exit.
    • Decreases menus show delay time, it'll show the sub-menus fast when you select their parent menu.
    • Disables the low disk space check so that you don't get the annoying low disk space notification in system tray.
    • Sets Windows to not waste time in searching for a program which no longer exists in your system when you try to open its shortcut.
    • Disables "search on Internet" prompt in "Open with" window so that it directly opens the program list.
    • Speeds up the Explorer navigation.
    • Adds "Take Ownership" option in files and folders context menu so that you can easily take ownership of files and folders in case you want to replace them for customization purpose.
    I assure you it will not harm your system in any condition and it is safe to apply. 
    So how to restore to the default settings before using those command registry script?
    You can do it by make the registry key command script with notepad, follow the instruction below how to make the default settings registry command script.
    Type the script below into notepad:

    Search cooking recipes at Google Recipe View

    San Fransisco - Google has started to include cooking recipes into their searches, which aims to keep users more easily to get cooking recipes on the internet.

    'Google Recipe View' was launched by Google in the U.S and Japan, making the searching engine site becomes a sort of 'Cook Book' online. Such as quoted from AFP, Friday (25/2/2011).

    "My parents followed the art of cooking based on intuition, in which the dosage of the ingredients must be fit, but it never worked for me," said Kavi Goel, product manager of Google the Recipe View.

    "As a fan of mathematics and computer scientist, I prefer concrete numbers and instructions, including when cooking," Goel added.

    The searching starts from the name of the method of cooking up to your favourite dishes. Searching can be filtered based on calculations of calories, cooking time and cuisine.

    "Google with Recipe View will help users who love cooking activities to find recipes from across the web", said Goel.

    New features in Google's plan would also be applied in other countries in futures.
