Assalamualaikum wr wb
Memory
When you have a long life, around the 50’s age you will
found appearance of your old memory and at the same time your fresh memory
become shorter.
I am fifty now, at the last 2
years I got the voice in my head almost every day, this voice said: “Alfatihah
itu ada 14 sabdu, hilang satu sabdu bukan Alfatihah namanya/Alfatihah has 14
sabdu, lost one sabdu become not Alfatihah”.
Sabdu/tasdid is symbol in Alquran like w (small W) and guides
us to read doubling in single consonant.
I am trying hard to think about
who said this to me, finally I remember this voice come from the ustadz/Islamic
teacher when I was 9 or 10 years old. How come? I don’t know. This voice still
comes but not often anymore now.
In last 3 months, another voice comes
in my head. “Gemeinschaft”, I don’t know how the spelling because this Germany
not English, but I remember this word comes from my first year in University 31
years ago at Sociology Class. Gemeinschaft means “feels unity” or the sense that
make you feel connected to others with one or some reasons.
By the reasons, we can divide the
gemeinschaft by place, by blood, by purpose, by faith, etc, everybody will find
this sense in their social life. For Gemeinschaft by nation we say Nationality. Gemeinschaft has hierarchy, when there is conflict of interest
between them, the highest hierarchy will take decision, for example “by blood”
is higher than “by place”.
In our life as the Citizen of the
Nation, we must put Nationality as the highest Gemeinschaft not others, so for
any of conflict that touch the Nationality we must take the Nationality as the
first choice. But some time we’ll see the Big Nation has a long conflict,
vertical or horizontal, why??? I am afraid they still have The Nationality but lost
The Gemeinschaft.
