Live sketching at Suropati Park. I think this is failed to sketch.
*a little note :
Burgemeester Bisschopplein names taken from Mayor in dutch is Burgemeester and G.J. Bisshop was the first mayor of Batavia (1916-1920). This park is located in the center of Menteng and was relocated and redesigned become a round shaped field. The current name taken from Untung Suropati, a national hero who fought against the colonial government during the 17th century. Area of Suropati Park is almost 17,000 m2. Various ornaments in Suropati Park is contributed by Asean artists.

The Blessing of Rain

"We send down pure water from the sky. That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created, cattle and men in great numbers." [Al-Qur'an 25:48- 49].

It is Allah Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does He spread them in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments, until you see rain-drops issue from the midst thereof: then when He has made them reach such of his servants as He wills behold, they do rejoice!.

"And We send down from the sky rain chartered with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and grain for harvests." [Al-Qur'an 50:9].

And finally, Rain makes colorful of our life.

Walking on The Rain

The Rain Will Fall

To wash away my pain inside
All that I need now
Is for the rain to fall from the sky
The rain will fall
The rain will fall

- Part of Mocca's Lyric "The Rain Will Fall"

Good Friend

If you have a friend who always help in the context of obedience to God, then hold on tight to him, you never let go. Because it is difficult to look for a good friend, but very easy to lose it.

#The importance of knowledge in The Hadits :

1.  The Messenger of Allah said, "When Allah wishes good for someone, He bestows upon him the understanding of Deen."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Hadith 1376].

2. The Prophet (ï·º) said, "Envy is permitted only in two cases: A man whom Allah gives wealth, and he disposes of it rightfully, and a man to whom Allah gives knowledge which he applies and teaches it."

[Al- Bukhari and Muslim, Hadith 1377].

3. The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "The guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me are like abundant rain which fell on a land. A fertile part of it absorbed the water and brought forth profuse herbage and pasture; and solid ground patches which retained the water by which Allah has benefited people, who drank from it, irrigated their crops and sowed their seeds; and another sandy plane which could neither retain the water nor produce herbage. Such is the similitude of the person who becomes well-versed in the religion of Allah and receives benefit from the Message entrusted to me by Allah, so he himself has learned and taught it to others; such is also the similitude of the person who has stubbornly and ignorantly rejected Allah's Guidance with which I have been sent."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Hadith 1378]

4. The Prophet (ï·º) said to 'Ali (May Allah be pleased with him), "By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you than a whole lot of red camels."

 [Al-Bukhari and Muslim, Hadith 1379].

5. The Prophet (ï·º) said, "Convey from me even an Ayah of the Qur'an; relate traditions from Banu Israel, and there is no restriction on that; but he who deliberately forges a lie against me let him have his abode in the Hell."

[Al- Bukhari, Hadith 1380].

6. The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said,
"Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge."

[Muslim, Hadith 1381].

7.The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "He who calls others to follow the Right Guidance will have a reward equal to the reward of those who follow him, without their reward being diminished in any respect on that account."

[Muslim, Hadith 1382].

8. The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased)."

[Muslim, Hadith 1383].

9.  The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "The world, with all that it contains, is accursed except for the remembrance of Allah that which pleases Allah; and the religious scholars and seekers of knowledge."

[At- Tirmidhi, Hadith 1384].

10. The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "He who goes forth in search of knowledge is considered as struggling in the Cause of Allah until he returns."

[At- Tirmidhi, Hadith 1385].

11. The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "The superiority of the learned over the devout worshipper is like my superiority over the most inferior amongst you (in good deeds)." He went on to say, "Allah, His angels, the dwellers of the heaven and the earth, and even the ant in its hole and the fish (in water) supplicate in favour of those who teach people knowledge."

[At-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1387].

12. The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "He who follows a path in quest of knowledge, Allah will make the path of Jannah easy to him. The angels lower their wings over the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with what he does. The inhabitants of the heavens and the earth and even the fish in the depth of the oceans seek forgiveness for him. The superiority of the learned man over the devout worshipper is like that of the full moon to the rest of the stars (i.e., in brightness). The learned are the heirs of the Prophets who bequeath neither dinar nor dirham but only that of knowledge; and he who acquires it, has in fact acquired an abundant portion."

[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi, Hadith 1388].

13. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ï·º) saying, "May Allah freshen the affairs of a person who hears something from us and communicates it to others exactly as he has heard it (i.e., both the meaning and the words), for it may be that the recipient of knowledge understands it better than the one who has heard it."

[At-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1389]

14. The Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said, "He who is asked about knowledge (of religion) and conceals it, will be bridled with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection."

[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi, Hadith 1390].

15. The Messenger of Allah(ï·º) said, "He who does not acquire knowledge with the sole intention of seeking the Pleasure of Allah but for worldly gain, will not smell the fragrance of Jannah on the Day of Resurrection."

[Abu Dawud, Hadith 1391].

16. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ï·º) saying: "Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people, but He takes it away by taking away (the lives of) the religious scholars till none of the scholars stays alive. Then the people will take ignorant ones as their leaders, who, when asked to deliver religious verdicts, will issue them without knowledge, the result being that they will go astray and will lead others astray."

[Al- Bukhari and Muslim, Hadith 1392].

One Day One Sketch

Hobi yang sudah lama tidak ditekuni, sekarang bersemi kembali..
Menggambar, yap! Skecthing :)
Senang rasanya di pertemukan dengan kawan baru yang memiliki hobi unik, yakni menggambar sambil piknik.

Jarang saya temui hobi ini dikalangan teman-teman sefakultas ketika saya kuliah dulu.
Alhasil berdiskusi dan bemain bersama mereka membuat semangat menggambar saya muncul lagi :D.

Tepatnya tahun lalu, Bu Wiwik, salah satu Ibu di Kantor lama saya mengenalkan anaknya Nugraha Pratama yang akrab dipanggil Aga. Aga adalah salah satu Sketcher Indonesia yang karya nya sudah dipublish disalah satu film Indonesia.

http://nugrahadrawing.blogspot.com/ adalah blog Aga untuk memposting hasil karyanya.

Mengingat akan kegemaran saya yang kembali bersemangat ini, saya mencoba mencari-cari tau tentang  para sketcher dan saya takjub hehe mengapa?
karena ternyata komunitas ini mendunia. Keren!
Dengan mengusung nama Urban Sketcher  komunitas ini kian berkembang hingga sekarang dan tersebar di berbagai belahan dunia.

Ide yang mereka ambil adalah menggambar on the spot di tempat-tempat tertentu dan ini mirip sekali dengan kegemaran saya dan teman-teman baru yang tergabung dalam "Geng Piknik" haha.

Sayapun tempo hari menghubungi Aga untuk menanyakan peralatan gambar yang biasa ia gunakan.
Sambil sharing tentang uniknya komunitas itu dan hasil karyanya yang sangat bagus.

Aga menyarankan, untuk para pemula gunakan "Drawing Pen" dengan ketebalan 0,3 mm.

"Gambarnya di kertas A4, ya penting berani gambar dulu", pesannya.

Saya kira kebiasaan saya dan teman-teman dengan menggambar sambil piknik itu aneh hehe ternyata itu normal dan banyak dilakukan banyak orang.

"Cuma orang-orang yang berada di comfort zone yang bilang itu aneh", tandasnya kembali.

:)

Sketch Trial One

Sketch Trial Two

*Latihan sketching ini masih dilakukan sangat apa adanya sekali, yakni dengan menggunakan kertas A4 yang di robek 2 bagian dan pensil HB. :p

Semoga nantinya bisa seprofesional para sketcher, aamiin :).
