I bet you cannot deny this!

            Should atheist retorts that seeing is believing, through this book, such phrase is no longer used because reading is believing. The era of miracle has indeed ended, but it is not for Al quran which lasts forever. Prof. DR. Mutawalli is just one of many persons who can find Allah in the very simplest way ever. Through his book, he elaborates what one verse means in a very understandable basis. Therefore, this book is purposed to those who skeptical whether or not Allah exists. Just FYI, this is the first book i read with goosebumps.

            The whole words used in this book are readable for everyone regardless of what their background including but not limited to religion, title, race, academic level etc. You can either use this book, to protect yourself from anxiety or to debate even with an atheist professor although you are not professor.

            Any principles, philosophies, theories coming from scientific approach are scrutinized in a simple manner which is at the end, only prove that Allah exists. Those are causal principle, philosophies of god entity, Darwin theory etc.

            Let’s give a moment to sink in. Causal principle is a notion that believes something happens because other things. Therefore if man were having sex with woman then they would have a son. However, through His power, he tells humankind it is not always like that. Adam and Jesus are the only exception. This case only happens once, but it proves enough that there is something beyond, something who control over causal principle and anything beyond.

            One simplest thought example in philosophy of god entity is if the founder of electricity/lamp was to struggle to make themselves famous, would the creator of sun forget to tell human that he is the creator

            Other simplest example in theory is a fetus inside the womb. Al quran was revealed 14 centuries ago, but empirically speaking goes along with today’s theory. Prof. Keith L. Moore, the embryology expert in Toronto University, Canada was shocked when he found out that Al quran does go hand in hand with it. He conceded it is impossible for Muhammad or people in muhammad’s contemporary to know then write it unless it speaks in the name of god almighty, Allah Azza Wa Jalla. Not to mention, a well-known surgical operation expert, Prof. Tajatsat from Muangthai who declared “there is no good but Allah” in the middle of summit after he found out that Al quran is right about nerve.

            However, the perfection only belongs to Allah. Only one weaknesses derived from this book. The hung case can be found in page 116 talking about the reason why the old man in early year of prophet Muhammad (known as Elephant Year) did not refuse about the emerging Ababil Bird.

Suggestion
A very informal note but logically beneficial


Dear Committees,
I am Sonang Hasibuan and I thank all of you that have made the event successfully possible to conduct. *Applause . . .Commemorating the upcoming APUFY on 16-18 October, I would like to propose one idea.

What is it??? A sharing room with fellow International Youth (WNA). It is an idea encouraging committee to set a hotel room consisting of Indoesian Youth Participants and International Youth Participants. Yeay. . .

This idea may feature a bit problem like diverse culture, trust etc. However, to  develope an urbanization also can begun by instilling an understanding value between civil society and outsiders, rite?. Therefore this idea will be a milestone bridging Indonesian Youth to its extend. Cool . . .

If we all want to maximize the event merit, participation, engagement towards one another, matter sharing inside or outside sessions done by all participants, then to combine Indonesian Youth Participants with other international participants as their roomate would be at stake! Hmm . . .

I believe, the scenario that will happen is a casual chit chat that is beneficial to understand more in sleeping time.  Not to mention, a long discussion over a topic of session in meal time and beyond regular times. Yummy . . .

Looking Forward to seeing the response

With Kind Regards,

Sonang Hasibuan On Behalf of the entire Indonesian APUFY Participants

Pre APUFY Afterglow at a glance
An ironic note, criticizing what missing in last pre event. #SkillTraining & #IdeasForTransmigrant

            Pre Asia Pasific Urban Forum Youth (APUFY) was succesfully conducted on  September 21-22 2015. It was held to ensure that Indonesian youths are ready to host and welcome the actual APUFY on October 16-18 2015. Various topics of sessions have been elaborated quite holistically by experts. However, there are two paramount topic missing from this pre event.

            The topic missing from this pre event is #SkillTraining and #IdeasForTransimigrant. Those matter because this pre event was presented by the Ministry of Public Work and Housing. How in the world the event conducted by such ministry were missing topics that were extremely related to workforce and housing.

            Now, are those both hashtags  really relevant and important in the first place? Indeed! because one, the purpose of urbanization is to get a man changed his economic life to be better. Therefore, how possible it was should we did not talk about #skilltraining that can deliver people to achieve their purpose. That is, to change their previous economic situation by skills provided by government or communities.

            Second, people tend to chant more “go urban, go urban, go urban” without necessarily being concerned about those who do in vice versa, chanting “go rural, go rural, go rural”. Mr Wicaksono said that urbanization is not about people go for urbanization, but also about urbanize a rural area. Meaning, an agenda of transmigrant is just as important as urbanization.

            Undoubtedly, only few people want to do transmigrant and dedicate themselves in the a village. Therefore, this little number should be maintained and appreciated. Or rather, we should go campaign urging other people to do so by providing them tantalizing ideas. Such ideas can be a guarantee of life or a healthy insurance, competitive remuneration etc that the point is, to facilitate them maximizing their dedication and covering their needs. Therefore, #IdeasForTransmigrant is mandatory.

            Finally, the scenario the writer is expecting is that, one a constructive ideas on to whom, by whom, what, where and how actually skill trainings are conducted. Two, a lucrative ideas on what and how eventually such ideas are implemented. Whether or not it is useful, proper and enough for the good sake of the transmigrants and their desired village. All while we were busy discussing a way to do good urbanization, but fail to answer deeply on what actual #SkillTraining we can do for migrant workers and what #IdeasForTransmigrant we can propose to urbanize a rural area. For all this reason, these two hashtags must stand later!

What You Do Not Know About This English Proficiency Test!

            In my opinion, the status quo of whatever kinds of vast majority people in Indonesia are, people concede that English proficiency becomes not only paramount aspect of workforce but also a parameter of being smart since people commonly notice those who could including but not limited to communicate , speak, speech etc in English are beyond average.

            Therefore, it is important to know well how is our comprehending to do so. Why it is important according to current issue in the very first place? Simply one because it is mostly prerequisite in the workplace, second to have a bilingual skill or more does make us smart as Researchers from the University of Ghent in Belgium believes such skill could delay people from the onset of Alzheimer’s symptom.

            To assess our comprehending we should look at what actually our purpose is. Should our purpose is to continue our academic life, TOEFL would be at stake for Indonesian since they are attuned to learn in American English manner. Should our purpose is anything beside academic, TOEIC would be main option as it requires not academic vocabularies in certain topic like antrophology, science, history etc. In all likelihood, this ideology is due to formed by Paulstone and hymes (1974,1967) highlight the difference between knowledge about language form and knowledge that enables a person to communicate interactively so that TOEFL& TOEIC(TO&TO) exist now


            Thus, look at what you are really into either for academic purpose or non academic purpose. Notwithstanding, those who make good score in TOEIC does not mean will be good in TOEFL too, but those who are good at TOEFL, must be good at TOEIC as TOEFL requires in-depth understanding of structure and medium-complex vocabularies
