Assalamualaikum!
J
The new year
almost comes and I wanna close this 2019 by joining a meaningful event,
“Pesantren Kilat”.

| @Eco-Pesantren Daarut Tauhid Bandung |
What is
pesantren? Okay, let me tell you a glance about pesantren. Pesantren is an
Islamic boarding school. Pesantren kilat which is I joined this time was being
held at Daarut Tauhid Islamic Boarding School Bandung. It was organized by LPS
(IDIC), my office and Daarut Tauhid. Oh ya, Daruut Tauhid is owned by Aa Gym’s
family, one of the famous Islamic preacher in Indonesia. Located at Bandung, me
and my colleagues stayed there for two days as boarding school students.
What were we doing?
In two days,
we studied more about Islam, especially about our Prophet, Muhammad SAW. We
learned how to be a better Muslim through Prophet Muhammad’s way of life. We
woke up at 03.00 am to Pray Qiyamul Lail/Tahajud continued with Pray Shubuh and
then went back to the dormitory.

After breakfast, we had schedule to study in a class. Work-life balance is the subject. As a human, we have to establish a good relationship with Allah SWT (Habluminallah) and also with other people (Habluminannas). How? To be productive. Make the intention of your daily activities as worship to Allah
The other
activities are archery and horse riding. These were the awaited activities!
Hahaha. We move to Eco Pesantren, the location for archery and horse riding by "angkot". I was on fire, couldn't wait to ride the horse. Alhamdulillah, the rain came at the same time we arrived. FYI, one of the right time to pray is when the rain comes. While waiting for the rain, we learned about archery and horse riding. Oh iya, archery and horse riding are the recommended sport by Prophet Muhammad SAW.

about archery and horse riding

My favourite
lunch : Nasi Liwet Sunda

Archery
Archery
teaches us to focus on our target. In this context, we have to focus on worship
to Allah SWT. Live as the best human being to get the best life in the
hereafter. This was the third time I tried the archery. But, this time I tried
the different arrow. Well, although I’ve tried different kinds of arrow, I got
the same obstacle, my left hand wasn’t strong enough to hold the arrow.
Horse Riding

Cakep : a
good horse
|
The coach (we
call the horse riding teacher) told us before we riding the horse we have to
know each other or introduce ourselves to the horse by stroking their head. If
you just ride the horse without introducing yourself, the horse will angry and
it could be dangerous.
Let me
introduce my horse. A female horse named cakep. Well, it was a cute name. Cakep
is a good horse. I could ride calmly, although this was my first time riding
the horse. I enjoy it so much and wanna ride again and again. But, because of
the limited time, I just could ride twice. Next time, I will do it again!
Well, what is a
precious lesson for me?

Thanks LPS
(IDIC) and Daarut Tauhid for the experiences
|
From the
coach I know, why horse riding is the precious sport in Islam. A horse is a
loyal pet. Horse teaches us to be a leader. Why? Because when you riding the
horse, you have to make sure that the horse obeys you. Once you can’t make sure
the horse obeys your command, they will never obey you. The horse also always
prays for the owner. So, be kind to the horse, okay!
Notes :
Before horse
riding, don’t forget to stretch. Me and some of my friend had thigh muscle pain
because we didn’t stretch first.
