Adem dengar khutbah yang khatibnya “milenial”. Muatannya berisi, padat, dan sesuai konteks. Penyampainnya santun. Yg paling penting, tidak menyudutkan kelompok atau pihak tertentu. Alhamdulillah jum’atannya khidmat. 😇
Admiral Malahayati (fl. 16th century) was a heroic woman who served as an admiral in the navy of the 16th century Aceh Sultanate. She led the ‘Amada Inong Bale’ - the Widow’s Armada - a fleet of battleships crewed by 2,000 brave female warriors.
In November 2017, President Joko Widodo awarded Admiral Malahayati the honorary National Hero of Indonesia.
This is her story told in 10 parts
Part 1 - Royal blood and military education
Keumalahayati was a descendant of the first Sultan of Aceh and the founder of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam. Known as Malahayati she was born in the Sultanate of Aceh on 1 January 1550. Her father was Admiral Mahmud Syah. Her paternal grandfather was Admiral Muhammad Said Syah, son of Sultan Salahuddin who ruled the Sultanate of Aceh Darussalam around 1530-1539 AD. Sultan Salahuddin Syah was the son of Sultan Ibrahim Ali Mughayat Syah (1513–1530 AD), the founder of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam.
Malahayati attended an Islamic school (Pesantren). Whilst her mother wanted her to get married at the age of 15, Malahayati had developed a love of the sea from her father and was more interested in becoming an admiral like her father and grandfather. She chose to enter the Aceh Royal Military Academy, known as Ma’had Baitul Maqdis. At the Academy Malahayati's honed her military skills, learning a lot from her instructors, many of whom were naval officers from Turkey. Malahayati is no ordinary student, She is selected as best graduate of the Ma'had Baitul Maqdis military academy and completes her education with honours.
In 1575, her father, Admiral Mahmud Syah, dies in battle against the Portuguese at the Portuguese Military Base "A Fomosa" Malacca. Malahayati is 25 years old.

* I started writing this story with the intention of creating a single post. However, the more I learned about Malahayati the more I thought worth sharing so that her story, and the historical context at the time, is more widely known. To be honest twitter is not really suited to long form posts like this and I’m curious how many of you will read until the end. I will post Parts 1-5 today and the parts 6 - 10 tomorrow. Apologies for any mistakes. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed researching and writing the story of Malahayati.

Did you know that the Persian scholar of medicine, Ibn Sina (980-1037) suspected some diseases were spread by microorganisms.
To prevent human-to-human contamination, he came up with a method of isolating people for 40 days.

Islam does not need such bigoted guardians, as its protector is God Himself.
Us, mortals, try to understand it as much as we can.
But Islam itself is greater than us. It is greater than all of our sects. It is greater than the Sunni, Shia, Salafi, "modernists," and others.
In the Philippines, Islam was the first monotheistic religion
recorded - introduced in the 14th century by Arab &
Gujarati traders. Mosques in the Philippines are
celebrated not only for their beauty but also, their cultural
significance.

Semoga sebelum kita berdoa untuk diberikan anak yang sholeh dan sholehah, kita sudah terlebih dulu berdoa untuk diri sendiri supaya bisa jadi orangtua yang sholeh dan sholehah untuk anak-anak.

Don't give your kids an allowance.
Pay them interest instead.
I made a system that naturally instills the power of compounding and makes them understand money.
Here's how it works, my downloadable worksheet, and the results:
Senin pagi di halaman rumah kakek nenek. Menikmati matahari pagi dari celah pohon yang daunnya berguguran tidak pada musimnya. Menghirup udara gunung yang tak sejuk lagi.
Satu yang tak berubah. Kehangatan hati orang-orangnya. 🥹
Nilai utama yang praktikal dari agama adalah kepasrahan. Dalam Islam ada tawakkal. Menerima yang terjadi dengan lapang dada. Berdamai dengan harapan-harapan yang tak terjadi. Meyakini hal baik di masa depan. Mensyukuri yang terjadi hari ini. Memperbaiki diri dari masa lalu. ☕️
