say that you love me

Don't you know that I want to be more that just your friend
Holding hands is fine
But I've got better things on my mind
You know it could happen
If you'd only see me in a different light
Baby when we fin'lly get together
You will see that I was right

Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
Don't treat me like I was ice

Please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
and If you'd only say you love me baby
Things would really work out fine

Don't you know that I want to be more that just your friend
Holding hands is fine
But I've got better things on my mind
You know it could happen
If you'd only see me in a different light
but baby when we fin'lly get together
You will see that I was right

Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
and don't treat me like I was ice
MYMP


oh please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
and if you'd only say you love me baby
Things would really work out fine

Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
and don't treat me like I was ice

oh please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
and if you'd only say you love me baby
Things would really work out fine
and if you'd only say you love me darling
Things would really work out fine

When I look at u (Miley Cyrus)

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
Beautiful melody, when the nights so long

Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy (Yeah)
When my world is falling apart,
when there is no light to break up the dark
That's when I (I, I) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I, I) look at you

When I look at you
I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am like the stars
hold the moon
Right there where they belong and I know
I'm not alone (Yeah)

When my world is falling apart,
when there is no light to break up the dark
That's when I (I, I) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I, I) look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I, I) look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful (Yeah, Yeah)

When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can't find my way home anymore
That's when I (I) look at you

You appear just like a dream to me.

stand up for love

There are times I find it hard to sleep at night
We are living through such trouble times
And every child that reaches out
For someone to hold
For one moment
They become my own

And how can I pretend that I don't know
What's going on?
When every second
And every minute
Another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life
I will see
An end to hopelessness
Or giving up
Or suffering

Then we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
And stand up for life
Stand up
And here me sing
Stand up
For love

Im inspired
And hope
For each and everyday
That's how I know that things are going to change
So how can I pretend that I don't know
What's going on?
When every second
And every minute
Another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life
I will see
An end to hopelessness
Or giving up
Or suffering

If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
And stand up for life
Stand up
For love

And it all starts right here
And it starts right now
One person stand up man!
And the rest will follow
From the forgotten
And From the Unloved

Im gonna sing this song,

And I believe
That in my life
I will see
An end to hopelessness
Or giving up
Or suffering

If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
And stand up
for life
stand up
and sing
Stand up
For love

Meraih Keutamaan Tanpa Melupakan Kewajiban


Ada beberapa perkara yang sisi lahiriahnya adalah keutamaan, sedangkan sisi ‘batiniah’-nya adalah kewajiban: 
(1) membaca Alquran adalah keutamaan, mengamalkan isinya adalah kewajiban; 
(2) bergaul dengan orang-orang shalih adalah keutamaan, sementara meneladani keshalihan mereka adalah kewajiban; 
(3) ziarah kubur adalah keutamaan, sementara mempersiapkan bekal (dengan memperbanyak amal-amal shalih) sebelum masuk ke alam kubur adalah kewajiban. Demikian menurut Sayidina Utsman bin Affan ra dalam suatu riwayat, sebagaimana dikutip Imam an-Nawawi dalam sebuah kitabnya.

Melalui pesan Utsman di atas setidaknya kita memahami: Pertama, penting membaca Alquran, tetapi lebih penting lagi mengamalkan isinya; penting untuk selalu bergaul dengan orang-orang shalih, namun lebih penting lagi meneladani keshalihan mereka; penting untuk melakukan ziarah kubur, tetapi lebih penting lagi adalah mempersiapkan amal shalih untuk bekal di alam kubur.

Alasannya jelas. Bagaimanapun kewajiban harus lebih didahulukan daripada keutamaan. Sebab, tentu tak ada keutamaan jika yang wajib ditinggalkan, meski yang sunnah dikerjakan. Bagi seorang Muslim, membaca Alquran, misalnya, adalah sunnah dan keutamaan. Namun, jika isi Alquran yang ia baca tak diamalkan, tentu membacanya tidak lagi menjadi keutamaan bagi dirinya; sekadar menjadi ‘hiasan’, tetapi tak mendatangkan manfaat atau keberkahan. Sebab, bukankah Alquran Allah turun agar dijadikan pedoman, bukan sekadar dijadikan bacaan? Allah SWT bahkan telah mencela orang-orang yang mengabaikan isi Alquran (Lihat: QS al-Furqan [25]: 30). Banyak sikap dan perilaku yang oleh para mufassir dikategorikan sebagai tindakan mengabaikan Alquran. Di antaranya adalah tidak mengamalkan serta mematuhi perintah dan larangannya (Ibn Katsir, I/1335); tidak mau berhukum dengannya (Wahbah Zuhaili, IXX/61).

cinta dan keakraban ilahi

Keakraban adalah kebersamaan yang dicapai dengan cinta. Begitu banyaknya kesamaan diri kita dengan Allah sehingga kita akan merasakan begitu dekat dengan-Nya. Diri kita memang tidak bisa dipisahkan dengan-Nya karena kita semua berasal dari-Nya, Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.

Seperti laut dan gelombangnya, lampu dan cahayanya, api dan panasnya; berbeda tetapi tidak dapat dipisahkan. Allah dan makhluk-Nya, berbeda tetapi tak bisa dipisahkan. Kita tidak bisa mengatakan bahwa laut sama dengan gelombang, lampu sama dengan cahaya, atau api sama dengan bara, demikian pula kita tidak bisa mengatakan bahwa makhluk sama dengan Khaliq.
