Catatan Akhir Tahun: Super Hiking 2015

Perlukah kita memiliki jasad yang kuat (qowiyul jism) saat ini? Lihatlah pusat-pusat kebugaran di kota-kota besar diserbu banyak peminat, dengan alasan agar sehat, tubuhnya atletis, memiliki kebugaran prima, tampil fit dan lincah. Mari kita lihat juga di pelosok desa yang jauh dari bau perkotaan, beberapa orang ketika ingin olahraga atau memiliki tubuh yang sehat tidak begitu sulit alasannya mereka terbiasa melakukan jalan kaki kemanapun entah ke ladang, sawah, hutan, kebun, dsb (layaknya jogging pagi), sedang remajanya ketika sore bermain bola di lapangan bersama-sama dengan temannya satu kampung. Secara ekonomis lebih menghemat, karena tidak perlu membayar untuk ke fitnes center atau tepat khusus futsal. Ditambah lingkungan kampung yang cenderung udaranya masih bersih, kadar oksigennya masih tinggi jauh dari pencemaran (polusi) udara. Saya menggaris bawahi tentang kebiasaan jalan kaki, olah raga ini adalah olahraga termurah, termudah, tersehat, resiko cedera lebih kecil, hemat dan praktis. Jenis aktivitas jalan kaki yang mungkin digemari adalah outbond, tracking, hiking, menyusuri hutan, sungai, lembah, naik turun bukit, melintasi kawasan kebun, perkampungan (countryside). Inilah yang penulis lakukan bersama beberapa murid Rabu 23 Desember 2015 sebagai bentuk meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh, kekuatan otot sekaligus mentadaburi keindahan alam yang telah Allah swt ciptakan.
Mulai dengan mengadakan briefing singkat, berdoa, membaca Al Quran, pengecekan perlengkapan dan personil. Kemudian berangkat pas pukul 06.30 pagi disertai langit mendung, matahari besinar kurang cerah karena tertutup mendung. Rombongan melakukan perjalanan jalan kaki selama hampir 1 jam, kemudian berhenti di masjid untuk mengambil air wudhu persiapan shalat sunah dhuha berjamaah. Selepas shalat, berdzikir, membaca QS Al Hadid, rombongan menikmati breakfast lontong, tempe, ditemani sebotol air mineral. Dilanjutkan dengan jalan kaki menyusuri jalanan beraspal yang menanjak, masuk ke hutan karet mulai menanjak naik sehingga membuat beberapa peserta berjalan melambat karena efek baru saja sarapan lontong. Berjalan di area hutan karet sampai pos kedua yaitu game tali & cek yel-yel. Peserta dengan masih terengah-engah tetap semangat menyanyikan lagu yel-yelnya. Namun karena kondisi mendung tergantikan oleh panas, semakin menambah terik matahari, saat itu pukul 09.11, peserta tidak mampu menyelesaikan permainan tali, maka untuk sementara ditunda dan dialihkan ke pos V.
Perjalanan dilanjutkan hingga 2 jam jalan kaki dengan kondisi jalan setapak, jalan bebatuan, dan karena basah membuat alas kaki kami kotor, berkelok-kelok. Medan yang dilalui cukup mudah tidak terlalu licin, curam, hanya saja yang dikeluhkan beberapa peserta adalah 2 jam non stop jalan tanpa istirahat.

Saya sedikit berbagi tips jalan jauh, salah satunya adalah jangan terlalu sering berhenti (langkah kecil tapi stabil/konstan), jangan mengumbar lisan (terlalu banyak mengobrol yang tidak terlalu penting (buang-buang energi percuma), hindari kondisi perut terlalu penuh dengan makanan ataupun minuman (karena ruang untuk udara kurang), gunakan alas kaki yang nyaman (misal untuk trek rumput dan bebatuan, jalan aspal, adalah sandal jepit karena sirkulasi udara untuk bagian jari kaki dan telapak kaki, meminimalisir lecet ujung jempol kaki jika memakai sepatu, pandangan tidak menunduk ke bawah terlalu lama (karena kadang membuat kurang awas dengan kondisi di depan sekaligus otot leher akan kaku). Mungkin beberapa tips tadi terlihat sederhana dan sepele, namun ketika dalam kondisi tubuh kurang fit maka kegiatan hiking akan terbantu dengan tips tadi karena efisiensi tenaga.

  8. Abu Bakar As Sidiq adalah salah satu sahabat yang paling dekat dengan Rosullullah. Beliau adalah salah satu dari empat Khulafaurrasyidin atau kalifah pertama pengganti Nabi Muhammad SAW. Beliau juga termasuk dalam Assabiqunal Awwalun yaitu orang yang pertama kali masuk Islam.

    Abu Bakar As Sidiq dilahirkan ditahun yang sama dengan Nabi yaitu antara 571/572 Masehi di Mekkah. Nama asli beliau adalah Abdullah ibni Abi Quhaafah. Abu Bakar berarti ‘ayah si gadis’, yaitu ayah dari Aisyah istri Nabi Muhammad SAW. Namanya yang sebenarnya adalah Abdul Ka’bah (artinya ‘hamba Ka’bah’), yang kemudian diubah oleh Rasulullah menjadi Abdullah (artinya ‘hamba Allah’).

  16. Profil Ali bin abi thalib:
    Ali dilahirkan di Mekkah, daerah Hejaz, Jazirah Arab, pada tanggal 13 Rajab. Menurut sejarawan, Ali dilahirkan 10 tahun sebelum dimulainya kenabian Muhammad, sekitar tahun 599 Masehi atau 600 (perkiraan). Muslim Syi'ah percaya bahwa Ali dilahirkan di dalam Ka'bah. Usia Ali terhadap Nabi Muhammad masih diperselisihkan hingga kini, sebagian riwayat menyebut berbeda 25 tahun, ada yang berbeda 27 tahun, ada yang 30 tahun bahkan 32 tahun.

    Dia bernama asli Haydar bin Abu Thalib, bapaknya Haydar adalah salah seorang paman dari Muhammad S.A.W. Haydar yang berarti Singa adalah harapan keluarga Abu Thalib untuk mempunyai penerus yang dapat menjadi tokoh pemberani dan disegani di antara kalangan Quraisy Mekkah.

    Setelah mengetahui sepupu yang baru lahir diberi nama Haydar,[butuh rujukan] nabi S.A.W memanggil dengan Ali yang berarti Tinggi (derajat di sisi Allah).

    Kehidupan Awal[sunting | sunting sumber]
    Ali dilahirkan dari ibu yang bernama Fatimah binti Asad, dimana Asad merupakan anak dari Hasyim, sehingga menjadikan Ali, merupakan keturunan Hasyim dari sisi bapak dan ibu.

    Kelahiran Ali bin Abi Thalib banyak memberi hiburan bagi nabi S.A.W karena dia tidak punya anak laki-laki. Uzur dan faqir nya keluarga Abu Thalib memberi kesempatan bagi nabi S.A.W bersama istri dia Khadijah untuk mengasuh Ali dan menjadikannya putra angkat. Hal ini sekaligus untuk membalas jasa kepada Abu Thalib yang telah mengasuh nabi sejak dia kecil hingga dewasa, sehingga sedari kecil Ali sudah bersama dengan Muhammad.

    Dalam biografi asing (Barat), hubungan Ali bin Abi Thalib kepada Muhammad S.A.W dilukiskan seperti Yohanes Pembaptis (Nabi Yahya) kepada Yesus (Nabi Isa). Dalam riwayat-riwayat Syi'ah dan sebagian riwayat Sunni, hubungan tersebut dilukiskan seperti Nabi Harun kepada Nabi Musa.

An ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. “Why not come and chat with me,” said the grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?” “I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the ant, “and recommend you to do the same “Why bother about winter?” said the grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present.” The Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the grasshopper found itself dying of hunger while it saw the ants distributing, every day, corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the place where it was born. The name of the place was CatanoThe man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano. One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; “You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the chicken house. The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were three death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old chicken; “Say Catano or I’ll hit you”. Once upon a time, there lived a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy and could not use the arrowOne day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows. The rabbit was fearing to arouse the bear’s anger so he could not refuse it. He went with the bear mother bear always gave him an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the rabbit’s house.When he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit’s house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his meal. Once there was a farmer from Laos. Every morning and every evening, he ploughed his field with his buffalo One day, a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working in the field. The tiger was very surprised to see a big animal listening to a small animal. The tiger wanted to know more about the big animal and the small animal. After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo; “you are so big and strong. Why do you do everything the man tells you?” The buffalo answered; “oh, the man is very intelligent”.
    The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he is?”. “No, I can’t tell you”, said the buffalo;

    “but you can ask him” ger. “Yes” said the man; “but I am afraid you will kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?” After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he didn’t go home to get his intelligence. He took his plough and hit the tiger. Then he said; “Now you know about my intelligence even you they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.
    “Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
    Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.
    Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.
    A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. aunt and uncle talking about leaving Snow White in the castle because they wanted to go to America and they didn’t have enough money to take Snow White with them.

Prabu Tapa Agung planned to retire as a king. He wanted Purbasari to replace him as the leader of the kingdom. Hearing this, Purbararang was angry. “You cannot ask her to be the queen, Father. I’m older than she is. It’s supposed to be me, not her!” said Purbararang. But the king still chose Purbasari to be the next queen. Purbararang then set a bad plan with her fiance, Indrajaya. Together they went to a witch and asked her to put a spell on Purbasari. Later, Purbasari had bad skin. There were black dots all over her body. “You are not as beautiful as I am. You cannot be the queen. Instead, you have to leave this palace and stay in a jungle,” said Purbararang. Purbasari was very sad. Now she had to stay in the jungle. Everyday she spent her time playing with some animals there. There was one monkey that always tried to cheer her up. It was not just an ordinary monkey, he had magical power. And he also could talk with humans. The monkey’s name was Lutung Kasarung. He was actually a god. His name was Sanghyang Gurumina. Lutung Kasarung planned to help Purbasari. He made a small lake and asked her to take a bath there. Amazingly, her bad skin was cured. Now she got her beautiful skin back. After that, she asked Lutung Kasarung to accompany her to go back to the palace. Purbararang was very shocked. She knew she had to come up with another bad idea. She then said, “Those who have longer hair will be the queen.” The king then measured his daughters’ hair. Purbasari had longer hair. But Purbararang did not give up. “A queen must have a handsome husband. If my fiance is more handsome than yours, then I will be the queen,” said Purbararang. Purbasari was sad. She knew Purbararang’s fiance, Indrajaya, was handsome. And she did not have a fiance yet. “Here is my fiancé, Indrajaya. Where is yours?” asked Purbararang. Lutung Kasarung came forward. Purbararang was laughing very hard. “Your fiance is a monkey, ha ha ha.” Suddenly, Lutung Kasarung changed into a very a handsome man. He was even more handsome than Indrajaya. Purbasari then became the queen. She forgave PurbarOnce there was a carpenter called Geppetto.

He enjoyed a lot of singing and dancing with the other puppets. But, when the show was over, Eater shut him in a cage. Suddenly, there appeared the Blue Fairy: “Why did not you go to school?” she asked. Pinocchio answered with a lie and his nose began to grow … Only when he told the truth, the Fairy freed him and his nose was back to normal. On the way home, Pinocchio saw a coach load of kids cheering. The coachman told him that he was directed to Toyland, where the kids could do whatever they wanted.
