“Ya Rabb! If I worship You in fear of Hellfire, burn me in it.
“And if I worship You in hope of Paradise, exclude me from it.
“Yet if I worship You purely for Your Being, do not withhold from me Your Eternal Beauty.”
— Rabia al-Adawiya
In politics, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies — only permanent interests.
Today’s ally can become tomorrow’s critic. Today’s enemy can suddenly become a strategic partner. (1/n)
The reality is, people are often forced to choose between the evil and the lesser evil, not between right and wrong.
Power changes principles. Loyalty becomes transactional. Narratives shift depending on who benefits. (2/n)
serahkan ke Allah aja, ya, yang jadi ranah-Nya.
kita fokus ikhtiyar mencapai ketaqwaan kita yang paling baik, sambil seperti tulisan pada banner di video itu:
“kerjain yang lo suka, rasakan nikmatnya hidup.”
Without understanding the context, messages can be misunderstood or overreacted to.
There is no absolute right or wrong here.

Think of communication like cooking & serving food.
Some people focus on the recipe.
They rely on data, facts, and logic to form their views & recommendations. What they present is objective, and evidence-based. The assumption is: if the food is good, people will appreciate it.
Neither approach is wrong.
They are simply different ways of communicating.
What matters is the audience’s ability to read the message properly:
Where is this message coming from?
Who is saying it?
In what context is it being shared?
