(Note: this article based on Muslim perspective, but if you have another religion and also agree with the material of this article, then I will accept it with pleasure - Author). Some time ago the Indonesian people were shocked by the news of bankruptcy Sariwangi Tea. For decades this legendary tea has accompanied Indonesian family dishes. Even this product had existed before I (the writer) was born. PT Sari Wangi AEA is a producer that gave birth to Sariwangi tea products. This product had experienced a golden age for decades until it finally collapsed helplessly due to caught in *usury debt. (Note: *Usury (or Riba) is the setting of interest or overestimating the amount of the loan when returning based on a certain percentage of the principal loan amount charged to the borrower. Usury in language means ziyadah (additional). In another sense, linguistically usury also means growing and growing. Whereas according to technical terms, usury means taking extra from primary as...

Once upon a time, in a kingdom, there is a sultan (ruler) whose power was considerable. The Sultan has four wives. He very loved his 4th wife (his young wife). Love that deeply penetrated his soul, even he kept trying to get the pleasure of his young wife. The 3rd wife's he loved too. But he always felt worried, because this 3rd wife was not loyal. She has the potential to betray, leave it, and turn to other men. The second of sultan wife is the place to solve problems on all this time when the sultan is in a state of sadness and confused — this second wife who is faithful enough to pay attention and serve her husband. The opposite is very different from the first wife. This oldest wife often ignored by the sultan. He never cared for and always ignored her rights even though this first wife is the only who loves her husband the most and has a maximum role in looking after the sultan and his kingdom. At one point the Sultan suddenly fell ill and felt that his death was n...

Have you ever watched a classic Hollywood film called Samson and Delilah? If ever, then the characters in the film are not the result of fiction or fairy tales. But the figure exists and is believed to be by three divine religions, namely Jews, Christians, and Islam. This figure in Hebrew is called Simson. In Arabic, is called Syam'un, and according to the tongue of the west (English), the name changes to Samson. According to the Islamic perspective, Samson is a prophet. Samson is one of the 124,000 prophets that Allah Ta'ala sent. He came from the Children of Israel and was sent to preach to his people. According to some historians, he was also sent to teach to Roman territory. Samson was the third judge at the time of the judges of the children of Israel. He lived after the time of the Prophet Musa (Moses) and Yu'sya (Joshua) bin nun alaihi salam. The story of the prophet Samson / Syam'un not mentioned in the Qur'an. But the story of this mighty pr...

For this time article, I will unload about the place of the shopping (wholesale) children toys in Jakarta. I plan to make this article up to 3 series. In Jakarta, there are 3 locations of the whole toy commercial centers. One of the three locations is: Asemka market. This biggest toy wholesaler center in Jakarta is located under the flybridge, in Jembatan Lima area, Tambora, West Jakarta. This market if from the city station the distance is around 500 meters. For you (foreign and domestic tourists) who have never been there, the easiest way to find an Asemka location is to ask to be escorted by Bajaj (An Indian-made transportation device). Usually, around the outer circumference of the city station, there many Bajaj. The fare is cheap if I ride a Bajaj from the station, is only Rp. 15,000 (about 1 US dollar). This children's toys wholesale center (as far as I know for seven years trading children's toys) has several blocks/ locations. For example the Asemka bu...

There is a remote kingdom that had barely been touched by civilization. Most of the people are still barbarian, and tribal wars often occur between them. They were fond of robbing the travelers (who happened to be passing by in that remote kingdom). They hard, rude, and cruel qualities. Only a handful was not rough, namely, people who worked as farmers. These farmers are often disturbed and oppressed by most of the kingdom official. One night, atmosphere in the kingdom was suddenly noisy.  The sound of batons is hit sounds loud. All the people of the kingdom suddenly woke up and got out of their house. Shortly after that, a young man dragged by several kingdom security guards. "Hey, Thief! You're a thief! Just put on the hanging right away!! Get hanging him to death!!!" Shouted the people towards the young man. Along the way, various reproaches and insults continued to be directed towards the young man (who was accused of stealing).  The young man ...

Maybe there are some lay Muslims who think that because the charity of worship is what will make him into heaven. And stamping people who are immoral experts will go to hell. This view is not right, because actually, we enter heaven because of the Grace of God. For if we are considered to go to heaven, because of the practice of our worship, it really will not be enough to pay for the enjoyment of heaven, which is as wide as the universe. After all, how long have we been able to worship in the world? If the average age of Muslims is between 60 - 70 years, (it is estimated) began to obey worship after are 40 years and above. For example death finally comes at the age of 70 years, meaning that for 30 years we have begun to obey worship. Now, is enough charity for 30 years to pay for eternal heaven forever? The answer is clear: Impossible will pay off! Therefore, the Apostle said, that a person can enter heaven is not because of his deeds but is due to the blessing of Grace fr...

Price war in online store and offline store are increasingly worrying (What's a solution?) Lately, price wars in online stores, marketplaces, and e-commerce have become increasingly worrying. Yeah! These symptoms are not only 'craze' in cyberspace (online stores, e-commerce), but also increasingly prevalent in the realm of offline stores (physical stores, markets, supermarkets, etc.). The price war that occurs in online stores has even exceeded the fairness limit. Many traders sell their products at meager prices to get customers. And this is a lousy competition! What is the reason? Here's the explanation: If this price war continues, then the 'jungle law' will apply. That is, whoever is the strongest (in business capital and human resources) will be the winner. Even if this competition continues to a more extreme point, no one will be a winner. How come? Yes, because the selling price/market price has already fallen to the deepest ravine, so t...

Note: This article is part #2. If you have not read the first article, please click  HERE Empathy crisis and still lack of facilities for Jakarta train passengers. Especially in carriages for women. Their competition for seats is far more 'sadistic' and crazy! The female passengers in there (usually) are more reluctant to empathize with other women. So that seat is not requested (by other women), the trick they often do is pretend to be sleeping (while covering his face with a newspaper), or pretending to be busy with a gadget in his hand. It is not surprising that eventually many of the pregnant women prefer to go up to the regular train carriage room (for men and women). They assume that the men who sit on the common train carriage will be more willing to budge for him, than the passengers in the carriage specifically for women. The severity of the competition to get the seat in the women's carriage was once expressed by a woman named Elvi in a national media ...
