Focus our heart on… guess who? He he

Assalamualaikum, how are you? May Allah always light your life and give His blessings upon you :)

Sudah lama sekali ngga menulis di blog. Beralih cukup rutin menulis press release kebutuhan kantor di tujuh bulan terakhir ini. It’s different, (enjoy both btw) but ya, writing in our blog is so much fun. Cause we can write everything we want and the way we write; we can be ourself  J Yes, it is nice if we can be our self, being honest to our self, we don’t take any hard feeling about what will people "see". As long as we are trying to be good to ourself.  This is what I want to write here in this post. About ourself, and people’s perspective, what should we focus on?

Setiap manusia tidak mau dipandang buruk oleh manusia lainnya. Ada juga yang tidak peduli sama sekali dengan itu. Kita yang mana? Kita seharusnya menjadi manusia yang memandang buruk dirinya sendiri. Agar senantiasa tawadhu (rendah hati), meminta pertolongan Allah swt, dan menghargai orang lain bagaimanapun perangainya. Itu yang guru saya katakan.

Kita sendiri mungkin akan sedih jika dijudge “buruk”, sedangkan mereka tidak tau bagaimana “jungkir balik” nya kita dalam berusaha menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik. Jika itu terjadi, pertama, kita diingatkan agar introspeksi. Kedua, kita diingatkan juga agar berusaha dengan ikhlas, tidak pedulikan pandangan manusia. Kesedihan itu hanya akan melintas secepat kilat kepada seseorang yang memfokuskan dirinya hanya pada Allah, bukan pandangan manusia. Bahkan boleh jadi tidak mampir perasaan sedih itu sama sekali. Karena diatas itu semua, “Allah knows whats in our heart.”

Yang di khawatirkan, ketika kitalah menjadi orang yang menjudge bahwa diri kita yang lebih baik dari seseorang… Sedang kita tidak tau bagaimana jungkir baliknya orang itu untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik.

Kita yang berhijab merasa lebih baik dibanding saudari kita yang belum berhijab misalnya. Lalu kita merasa oh we are closer to Allah than them, Allah love us more. Apakah kita termasuk orang yang seperti itu?

Kaka perempuan saya, yang dulu belum berhijab mengalami “pergulatan” dalam prosesnya. Kerap saya menemukan beliau, she was always crying in front of her Creator, demi Allah, seeking Allah’s help to make herself wearing hijab. Saya melihat kakak perempuan saya begitu serius meminta pertolongan Allah SWT untuk memberikan hidayah kepada dirinya. Saya melihat tangisannya, bagaimana beliau bercerita kepada saya mengenai keinginannya. Saya sendiri hanya tau bahwa ini perintah Allah dan dengan mudah mencoba melaksanakannya dan mencoba istiqamah. Tidak ada galau, tidak pernah ketika itu saya menangis meminta pertolongan Allah SWT. Dari situ saya sadar bahwa setiap orang memiliki proses yang berbeda.

Ketika meminta 2 orang anak (A dan B) untuk berbicara bahasa Inggris, lalu anak A sejak lahir tinggal di Inggris, dan anak B justru masih sangat asing mendengar bahasa itu. Apakah adil jika kita menilai bahwa A jauh lebih pintar dari B? Padahal sebelum test si B mati-matian belajar agar bisa berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan lancar.

Setiap Ilmu yang baru diterima, Bisa jadi mudah untuk seseorang, tetapi tidak untuk orang lainnya. Pemahaman setiap orang berbeda, latar belakang setiap orang berbeda, keadaan emosi setiap orang berbeda, Ilmu setiap orang berbeda.

Lalu apakah pantas kita merasa lebih baik dari seseorang, padahal kita tidak tahu menahu apa yang ada didalam hati mereka? Bagaimana jika ternyata malah Allah lebih mencintai mereka? Tidakkah kita malu dengan itu?

Allah SWT, yang tahu setiap hati manusia mengingatkan kita dalam Al-Quran:
“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, Janganlah satu kaum memandang rendah kaum yang lain, Karena boleh jadi mereka (yang dipandang lebih rendah) lebih baik dari mereka (yang memandang rendah), dan jangan pula perempuan-perempuan memandang rendah/mengolok-ngolok perempuan lain, karena boleh jadi perempuan (yang dipandang rendah) lebih baik dari yang (memandang rendah)” (Qs. 49:11)

Bahwasannya Allah SWT perintahkan kita untuk berendah hati (tawadhu) dan menghargai. Pun ketika kita menyampaikan / menasihati / atau "berdakwah", ketika dilakukan dengan cinta dan ketawadhuan rasanya akan sangat berbeda. Indah dan menyenangkan di hati yang menerima. Begitu Islam mengajarkan, ya?

Tetapi kita juga tidak perlu sedih akan pandangan orang lain, Karena bahkan seharusnya kita memandang diri sendiri dengan penuh kerendahan hati. Seperti pesan Ali r.a:

“Jadilah manusia biasa di hadapan orang lain, Jadilah manusia PALING BURUK dalam pandangan diri sendiri, dan Mulia disisi Allah swt.”

Diri ini yang perlu pertolongan Allah SWT, kita tidak tahu apa yang ada dalam hati orang lain, kita tidak tau, kita tidak tau. Dan itu tidaklah penting, yang penting hati kita dengan Allah. Dan hatimu dalam menjaga baik saudaramu. Boleh jadi kita yang paling buruk di hadapan Allah SWT, naudzubillah.

Sedih rasanya kalau sudah ingat ini :') Semoga kita termasuk orang-orang yang berusaha menjadi lebih baik dan senantiasa tawadhu. Semoga Allah senantiasa membimbing kita selalu ya.. Aamiin
Pernah disebut-sebut tentang tawadhu` di hadapan Al-Hasan Al-Bashri, namun beliau diam saja. Ketika orang-orang mendesaknya berbicara ia berkata kepada mereka: “Saya lihat kalian banyak bercerita tentang tawadhu`!” Mereka berkata: “Apa itu tawadhu` wahai Abu Sa`id?” Beliau menjawab: “Yaitu setiap kali ia keluar rumah dan bertemu seorang muslim ia selalu menyangka bahwa orang itu lebih baik daripada dirinya.”
[Lathoif Al Ma’arif, Ibnu Rajab Al Hambali, Al Maktab Al Islami, cetakan pertama, 1428 H, hal. 392.]
This is what we called as "love" we don't judge, we LOVE! 
See youuu!

Love,
Irna

Assalamualaikum everyone!
Happy Fasting :) It's the last ten of Ramadhan. It's time to maximize our prayers to get His rahmat. May this Ramadhan bring us to the brighter light in life :) aamiin. 
I just have some photos and going to tell a short strory about that. hehe
Cause a moment won't be back, it is so unfortunate if we have moments that we love but it's gone and we forget it. In the other hand, we can keep it so one day we can look back to that moment and say "alhamdulillah" again for that :)

One unremarkable moment happened to me in the middle of April. When there was Press Conference about Raef, an Islamic Singer from UK exactly in Washington DC came to Indonesia as a brand ambassador of Zatta Men. The Press Conference was held in Bandung.
So When I was entered the press conference's room, I saw the grand piano. My family and my close friends knew that I'm quite crazy about piano I'm so in love with it (and actually still hoping that I could learn more to play it to make me professional in it.) Well when I saw the grand piano oh I really want to play it but at that time it's quite impossible since I have to do many things as I'm a PR for the press conference. 

Since I do love Raef's song, I started to search the chord of his song while still expecting to play the grand piano later. And....! It was came true! The Press Conference had done, The piano looks sad alone in the quite huge room..I know he asked me to come to him and have a chitchat together. Well I sat in front of the piano.. "Hey.. do you mind if I play you?" "Sure, I'm waiting for you since the first time we met!" "Really? Oh me too!!" 

Then I played the grand piano with all of my heart. I miss it since many years. It's like I found my missing part of my heart. Oh I really love to play the grand piano. 

Then, When I was playing it, Raef came and recorded my piano playing! I was so surprised and I stopped my playing. "No no..keep going it's beautiful" he said.

"okay..but..um..would you sing your song and I play the piano?"
"Oh sure.. what song?"
"You're the one?"

Then finally Raef was singing You're the one while I was playing the Piano
I was so happy, it such a very bery cherry nice day for me :)




See You in the next Post!
Loves,
Irna

February 2015

In the name of Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalamualaikum everyone! It was since November I have not share anthing  yet. But don’t you know? From November until now, February, I had been through many things that i do not know what to say Oh Ya Allah it is just like.. all the feelings cames at one time. I was facing the situation that could change my life. Got the deal again with the word “ikhlas” , “surrender” (and I know that learning and understanding those things will be never end until we go back to Allah SWT.) and I really realize that myself have no power, you know, laa haula walaa quwwata illa billah. It’s really true that there is no power or any ability except from Allah SWT.  We are human. Allah created us. Without His help I may be in lost.
Learning process is always happens everytime. Through what we feel, what we see, through what happens around us. Through mistakes, missunderstanding, bad things, and nice things. And all the things that happens are the gift. Yes, it is a gift. Alhamdulillah.
I have posted about my “another phase of life”. Now I have more complete story to share. I do not know, I feel that I found many lessons and I want to share them to you.

First, about Choice.
“do I really have a choice?”

It was in the begining at the new department in my office I feel some pain (I’m so sorry for saying this) but I could not share here the reason why.  But in my last post I said:
 There will always be pain and pleasure.
And there will always be fear, that you can change into power.”
When I feel those feelings, I was asking Allah to make my feeling better.
Then, somebody called me. She is a General Manager of a company, approached me for a job that interest me pretty much. Sure, I’m excited. Then I met her (somebody who called me). She want me to join her team. Considering my condition lately, of course I’d love to say "yes!". And I thought “Oh Allah, did YOU answer my prays right now?” I found some dots of Brightness. 

In the other hand,
My manager (in my office at that time) told me that I have to prepare my self because I will get promotion to be a team leader. So I feel like I have a choice between..become a team leader or move on. I thought about it for a long time, I talked to someone who I consider as my mentor, Pak Rizki. He said hold on. Think about it. “I don’t want you to leave this company, let’s face the challenge together.” That is the conclusion of our meeting that time.

I also talked to my friend. I guess he could gimme another perpective and yes he can. He said, “you have three choices;
1. you leave,
2. Stay and you just need to be patience,
3. Stay, and change the condition! And I suggest you to choose number three.”
He said that everywhere we are, we might be face something we don't like. So it’s not about the environment or places; it is not about “where we are” but “WHO WE ARE?” how we face it. I remember what he said “karena sesuatu yang kurang enak, tantangan, keadaan yang susah, itulah yang akan membentuk kita.” He is right tho.

“do I really have a choice between stay and leave?”
I said to my friend “I think I dont need to choose, let Allah show me the way.” I was so sure that I don’t need to decide anything but let Allah show me what should I do next. Even in my deepest heart I know what I want: I really want to leave.

But it was right. Someone who approached me called me again, and she said “Dear Irna, I am so sorry that I could not aprroach you because of “something” (I couldn’t say here) and I can approach you again in one or two years after you resign from your current company.
I was so sad and hopeless. I can be approached after one or two years after my resignation? :’( Yes, this is the answer. I was right that I don’t need to choose between stay and leave. Allah show me the the way.

Oh Ya Allah YOU know this is not what I want. But I have to face this. I have to trust YOU that this is the best from YOU. It’s okay to be sad, it’s okay… I just have to wait for another “surprise”

After that, the condition was getting better. There were many things that make me happy in there such as I have Ka Tiara who are really nice, we can laugh together all day long. I have A Oda too, he is very kind and also smart, and some another friends in the office. I’m also happy with this department’s new morning spirit habit. We started to recite Qur’an together every morning. I can go home with my friend too (since it’s quite far between home and office). But one thing left behind in my mind:

I don’t believe in choice anymore. I don’t think that I need to pray for what I want anymore. It was only “Ya Allah, You know what’s the best for me and I don’t know at all. I don’t wanna ask you what I want because I don’t know if it’s good or not for me. And I’m afraid I will be sad if I pray for what I want but then it’s not good for me. So Ya Allah just give me a beautiful heart which can be grateful for whatever you gave me. And make me happy because I'm feel so close to You."

Then, the condition was getting worse again. But again, I could not talk to anyone about this. Nobody even my friends at office understand exactly the reason why and I could not tell them at all.

I feel something “blue”, I have no clue. Condition and situation started from 9am in the morning untill 7pm was full of sadness in the deepest of heart , I feel uncomfortable. I could not describe what happened. But the good things is.. every dhuha, dzuhur and ashar I can really feel selfless in my shalat and pray. I tell Allah what I feel and with full of resignation and I ask HIM to give me a brighter way. I was always crying in front my creator and it was felt so wonderful. It was happened everyday..There is always a bright side even in the darkness. I also felt grateful and I was realized that without that condition may be I wont feel that wonderful selfless with full hope resignation in my shalat and prays

It was about a month in that ‘worst’ condition, while I was seeking another path for my carrier at that time, somebody called me.

“Assalamualaikum Irna,”
“Waalaikumsalam..Ms..”
“Apa kabar.. gimana disana? Kamu masih mau ngga sama tawaran saya?”

I am sure you all do understand how does it feel :’) I don’t want to say loud it here just lemme keep it only between me and Allah. All praises to HIM. 

So Allah has already answer my pray after those sadness feelings. In the end I am grateful for all the things happened. Without feel the sadness, we might be never know what happiness is.

"Fa innama al usri yusra..innama al usri yusra"
we know that Allah knows what’s the best for us while we don’t know. I am waiting for your thought in comment okay? And thank you for reading this very long post :’) See you in the next post insha Allah.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious Most Merciful

Hello & Assalamualaikum everyone, How are yoouu? Been so long! I'm so happy now because finnaly I can blogging again since it's hard to find any longer time to write because..well it's not because business thing but only because when I had free time, my body was asking me to irnaa...lay down..and...SLEEP!! >.< you know working life is so different from college life when it's quite easy to spend all night long without sleeping but now it's like soo hard for me to keep my eyes opened at night :3. On the other time when I had a time to write, I can be such a lazy bum at times. It is time to get my self motivation back on track. Or..I had too much thought in my head so when I'm gonna start to write it's like..you know..mmmm....which topic that I will talk about first? and finally I had no idea :p

Well I'm now on my lunch time in my office, guess it's quite a good time to write. But by the way do you know where I'm working right now? :") I'm gonna talk about that. My another phase of life; a workplace. :)

So here I'm, working in Shafira Corporation. A Fashion world! A Muslim Fashion world.
I was excited at the first time when I seen the videos about this biggest Islamic fashion company in Indonesia.
It's fashion, It's Islamic, It's the biggest in Indonesia. All I want is there!

And actually at the same time, I was in process in joining another place to work which is in Oil and Gas Company. (actually it was also my dream-workplace when I was in elementary school. I said to my self that one day I want to work in oil and gas company. Maybe because..ya, I was kid and it's cool to see my brother working in there. only because of that he he he I was kid I don't understand anything about work. ) As if you have read my older post, that dream was came true when I was doing my internship in Pertamina. I was feel so happy about that, I was learnt many things there I was sooo soooo sooo grateful because I think I can improve my skill (beside graphic design) and gained many knowledge. In my last period they asked me to come back after graduate. So then, before graduation, even before my thesis defense, they called me to apply ASAP and it's like they told me that I have to prepare my self to work there. Well but I didn't do that because at that time I was on my hectic period; preparing my thesis defense. And after graduate, I did what they asked..with my pleasure, of course. And followed the process.

I was remember when I'm in middle of my Internship period, one year ago... I had the most favorite serial movie in my laptop, it was Jane by Design. Have you watch it?? I'm sooooooo in love with that movie! And I was thinking to have experience in fashion world, I really want to have another internship experience; in fashion industry. When I saw Jane it's like I'm supposed to "live" in that world. And I also have a dream; someday if I have my own lil family, I think I don't wanna be a carrier woman who will spend their most of time in workplace because my main job at that time will be as a wife. or..mother? owww! >.< so I want to have my own business. And that kind of business is in fashion world. Have a boutique in my house will be nice! or..in a mall? plus web-store? or in front of my house? or....let's dream! he he he
So when I saw the video of Shafira Corporation, I feel like.. that's the one, maybe? And I tried to apply.

One of my best friend, also work in there! And she told me that HR department in Shafco was looking for a graphic designer but it's for internship or freelance. And I said well it's okay, so that while I'm waiting the process in Pertamina, I can use my time to work there as a freelancer or internee there.

SO, I went to attend an interview as internee/freelancer in Shafco, but suddenly the HR manager offered me to work full time there, to work with Digital Marketing team. I want to! but..what about Pertamina?

And, but, um, unfortunately, I mean..fortunately. :) the process in that oil and gas company was not as smooth as I imagined. the process was took a long time.. But let's skip this story. :) Let's say that all the things happen to us has already planned by HIM, the ONE who knows the best for us. So I believe that whatever happened before, it was for the best.

Before I joined this company, one of my friend said this to me:
Irna, bekerja dimana saja yang penting baik dan halal. Pilihlah pekerjaan yang bisa membuat Irna punya banyak waktu luang untuk Ibadah. Karena rezeki kita sudah terjamin, sedangkan Ibadah kita belum terjamin. Tapi, bukan berarti jadi malas-malasan..hanya saja jangan pernah sekali-kali menggantungkan rezeki kita dari pekerjaan tersebut, karena rezeki itu murni dari Allah.

I understood and kept that thought tightly in my head.
And this is what made me sure that this company would be a right & good place for me to work :

"InsyaAllah cocok di cultural nya Shafco yang Islami ya Irna. :)
Selain bekerja kamu juga bisa berdakwah dan ibadah secara positif. Insya Allah. Bismillah
Kita semua yang Insya Allah banyak belajar dengan Irna. Termasuk saya.
Keep up the Great Spirit! :)
Mencari berkah dunia akhirat dalam hal apapun yang kita jalani, Kita semua di Shafco yang masih harus belajar banyak dari Irna. Sama-sama ya kita saling sharing knowledge. :)
-from the HR Manager the day after I had interview.

Sooo....Alhamdulillah, now I'm in this place. Joining Shafco since August 25, 2014.
The dream come true? 'generally', yes. :)


I faced my first month in Shafco happily. I'm so grateful that beside working, I feel like I have new family there since people there are sooo lovely. And one thing that I love is I have a manager who..I dunno how to describe..He is smart! (of course! He's a manager x_x) when I had a sharing session with him I just feel so clicked and everything I talked were always conected and we have the same way in seeing things. My spirits always burned, it's like on-fires everytime I talked to him. That's the thing that makes me grateful the most. May be someday if you be a boss you should be that kind of leader ;) 

Then, reading Qur'an and pray together every morning before we start to work is an AWESOME culture in Shafco, especially in my department at that time. That also the thing that makes me grateful. We also go for having lunch together, "hajar rame-rame!" :)). By the way I also have learnt many things about HR world. It's like connecting the dots. I love to read about human capital, people development in my favorite blog; strategimanajemen.net since I was in High School. So! to be a part of HR department is a big wow for me. It's fashion, it's islamic, it's the biggest, I do design thing, and it's about people development! complete, MashaaAllah.

But because my contract was with Digital Marketing department, I have to start work with the DIGMAR team after have done some project in HR for about 1,5 months .
And it's like...new adaptation. Different environment, different team, different leader, all is different. There is no reading Qur'an every morning anymore, there is no go-for-having-lunch together, and..there's no another woman at the first time. I was the one and only. Fear, pain, all at the same time. But..

There will always be pain and pleasure.
And there will always be fear, that you can change into power.

And have you ever read this sentence? :
"Relationship is like a house. When a light-bulb burns out, you don't go and buy a new house, you fix the light-bulb."
Ya it might not always be for woman-man relationship but maybe for a men-office relationship :p
My friend also said to me that Allah will never ever put us in the wrong place. I also feel that this place is potential for me to "grow up" inshaaAllah. It's all depend on me.

And now my adaptation is getting better, I think. The Digmar Team are also nice, they are smart, and now, there is another woman in the room, finally. AND..we read Qur'an every morning before we start working alhamdulillah :') And I was so happy when I hear some of them reading Qur'an beautifully (I have to learn from them!). See, it's just need to start! the fact is, I can see that we all love this "morning spirit" habit. I'm really hopping that we can keep this habit "alive" not for a short time because actually this is Shafco's organization culture since it was built.

Well by the way some people doesn't know about Shafira Corporation. I can tell you a lil bit maybe?
So, Shafco was founded 25 years ago by Ibu Fenny Mustafa; a woman who has a very beautiful niyah; it's for da'wah. She wanted to make hijab become popular at that time because 25 years ago, hijab was still felt strange around people even for Muslim. And you know, Allah will help them who doing things for da'wah. We can see how Allah make this company survive for more than 25 years and it's growing bigger and bigger and if I'm not mistaken this company has about 2000 employees right now, mashaaAllah :)

And here they are, 11 brands of Shafira Corporation : 


So that's pretty much it. Alhamdulillah for HIS blessings. I believe whatever happened, it was for the best. Past is past. I'll embrace every moment of my life, while I can. I'm waiting for what's coming next. May Allah ease my journey (and your journey too) in this world and of course, in the hereafter.

See you, inshaa Allah :)
