Speaker: Ustaz H. Bachtiar Nasir, Lc., M.M.

Tablig Akbar of KBM UAD

 

Universitas Ahmad Dahlan is one of the Muhammadiyah universities that has gained trust as a university that produces Muslim scholars who prioritize moral, intellectual and integrity values. There are various ways that can be done to shape moral values in students,  one of which is holding a tablig akbar activity. With tablig akbar, one can provide a foundation and broad insight into religious values ​​so that moral values ​​are easy to shape.

The Ministry of Religious Affairs under the Student Executive Board (BEM) of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan Yogykarta has successfully held a tablig akbar with Ustaz H. Bachtiar Nasir, Lc., M.M. as the speaker on October 17, 2018 at UAD Islamic Center Mosque. The event took the theme of "My Hijrah for You". The tablig akbar, which was attended by more than 1,000 worshipers, began at 12.00 WIB before the Ashr prayer. The committee provided 2,000 lunch boxes for the participants.

The theme taken for the tablig this time was very millennial, according to Bachtiar Nasir. He explained that hijrah needed to be done for Allah SWT, and should be in accordance with the teachings of the Qur'an and Al-Hadith. He attributed the condition in Indonesia that had been stricken by consecutive natural disasters with the human attitude in Indonesia itself. He explained that really Allah SWT had warned the people through the earth with the earthquakes, those in Lombok, Palu and Donggala.

"Indeed, the earth is talking and warning people to improve their morals. That is the pattern of communication from the Almighty to His servants. As stated in QS. Al-Qamar verse 4 which means, ‘There have come to them stories in which there is a threat to infidelity. If you look at the time of the people of Noah who did immorality, like being lesbians and drinking liquor, they did not follow the advice of Noah, then indeed Allah SWT inflicted punishment on them'," explained Bachtiar Nasir.

Many stories of the people of the previous prophets who, when viewed from their morals, were not in accordance with what is taught in Islam, and in the end would get a punishment. The punishment actually includes a reminder that Allah SWT loves His servants.

Therefore, the true hijrah must be accompanied with knowledge, namely the real hijrah based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah, by obeying all His commandments and being away from all His prohibitions. Then, hijrah also begins with moral change. With good morality that always draws one closer to His creator, disasters can be avoided.

He revealed that now Indonesia was critically disastrous. Disasters came repeatedly as if to be a warning for us to immediately improve and admit that the earth has been old and soon everything will perish. If you see the signs of the end of time, then we can see that it is getting closer now.
"Let us improve ourselves and draw closer to Allah SWT. If it is lndonesia, then the morality of Indonesia must hijrah. As young people, let us avoid and eradicate LGBT and other immorality to make Indonesia peaceful with the morals of its young generation," he concluded.
Make a disaster that is happening to our brothers as a step to open our eyes so that we can improve ourselves to become true Muslims with Islamic morals. An expression of gratitude is given to all parties who contribute to the success of the tablig akbar, including Takmir of IC UAD, Lazis UAD, LPSI UAD, all BEM F of UAD, and all the committees and other parties that cannot be mentioned individually. Hopefully, after this event was held, we will be able to bring changes to the people.

Hijrahku untuk-Mu

Tablig Akbar KBM UAD

 

Universitas Ahmad Dahlan merupakan salah satu Perguruan Tinggi Muhammadiyah yang sudah mendapatkan kepercayaan sebagai universitas pencetak cendekiawan muslim yang mengutamakan nilai moral, intelektual, dan integritas. Dalam membentuk nilai moral di kalangan mahasiswa, dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara, salah satunya mengadakan kegiatan tablig akbar. Dengan tablig akbar, dapat memberikan fondasi dan wawasan yang luas tentang nilai keagamaan sehingga nilai moral mudah terbentuk.

Kementerian agama di bawah naungan Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa (BEM) Universitas Ahmad Dahlan telah berhasil mengadakan tablig akbar dengan pembicara Ustaz H. Bachtiar Nasir, Lc., M.M. pada 17 Oktober 2018 di Masjid Islamic Center UAD. Kegiatan ini mengambil tema “Hijraku untuk-Mu”. Tablig akbar yang dihadiri lebih dari 1.000 jemaah ini dimulai pada pukul 12.00 WIB hingga menjelang shalat Ashar. Panitia menyediakan sebanyak 2.000 kotak makan siang bagi jemaah.

Tema yang diambil pada tablig kali ini sangat milenial, menurut Bachtiar Nasir. Ia menjelaskan bahwa hijrah itu harus karena Allah Swt. dan sesuai dengan ajaran dalam Al-quran maupun Al-hadits. Ia menghubungkan kondisi Indonesia yang tertimpa bencana alam berturut-turut ini dengan sikap manusia itu sendiri. Bahwa sesungguhnya Allah Swt. telah memberi peringatan kepada umatnya melalui bumi yang berbicara dengan guncangan bencana gempa bumi baik di Lombok maupun di Palu dan Donggala.

“Sejatinya, bumi sedang berbicara dan memberi peringatan kepada manusia untuk mengubah akhlaknya. Itulah pola komunikasi dari Sang Maha Kuasa terhadap hamba-Nya. Seperti yang tertuang dalam QS. Al-qamar ayat 4 yang mengandung arti, ‘Telah datang kepada mereka beberapa kisah yang di dalamnya terdapat ancaman terhadap kekafiran. Jika ditengok dari zaman umatnya Nabi Nuh yang melakukan kemaksiatan seperti lesbi dan meminum-minuman keras kemudian mereka tidak mengikuti anjuran Nabi Nuh maka sungguh Allah telah menimpakan azab kepada mereka’,” jelas Bachtiar Nasir.

Banyak kisah umat nabi-nabi sebelumnya yang jika dilihat dari akhlaknya tidak sesuai dengan apa yang diajarkan akan mendapatkan azab. Azab itu sebenarnya termasuk peringatan bahwa Allah Swt. sayang dan mencintai makhluknya.

Oleh karena itu, hijrah sejatinya harus mengetahui ilmunya, yaitu hijrah yang sesungguhnya berdasarkan Al-quran dan As-sunnah, mendekati segala perintah-Nya dan menjauhi segala larangan-Nya. Kemudian, hijrah juga diawali dengan perubahan akhlak. Dengan akhlak yang senantiasa mendekatkan diri kepada pencipta-Nya maka bencana akan terhindar.

Ia mengungkapkan bahwa sekarang ini Indonesia sedang kritis bencana. Bencana datang bertubi-tubi seakan menjadi peringatan bagi kita agar segera memperbaiki diri dan mengatakan bahwa usia bumi sudah tua dan tidak lama lagi semua akan binasa. Jika dilihat tanda-tanda akhir zaman, maka saat ini semakin dekat.

“Marilah kita memperbaiki diri dan mendekatkan diri kepada Allah Swt. Jika hijranya lndonesia maka hijrahkanlah akhlak Indonesia. Sebagai generasi muda, marilah kita hindari dan berantas LGBT dan kemaksiatan lainnya untuk menjadikan Indonesia damai dengan akhlak generasi mudanya,” pungkasnya.

Jadikan bencana yang sedang menimpa saudara kita sebagai langkah untuk membuka mata agar kita mampu memperbaiki diri untuk menjadi muslim sejati dengan akhlak islami. Ucapan terima kasih tidak lupa disampaikan kepada segenap pihak yang ikut menyukseskan tablig akbar tersebut antara lain Takmir IC UAD, Lazis UAD, LPSI UAD, BEM F se-UAD, serta segenap panitia dan pihak-pihak lain yang tidak dapat disebutkan satu per satu. Harapannya setelah diadakan acara ini, mampu membawa perubahan bagi jemaah semuanya.

Many People are still Traumatized

The earthquake that hit NTB did not only destroy houses, but also made people lose their confidence. Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD), in collaboration with Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC), is seeking to restore the people psychological state due to the trauma caused by the earthquake.

Agung Nugroho Pamungkas, a MDMC coordinator, admitted that what needed to be improved in the community affected by an earthquake was their psychological state. If the psychology had been recovered, it would be easy to deal with the other issues.

"You can imagine if they have not recovered their psychological state and are told to build a destroyed house, or receive news of the loss of someone who died from the earthquake. Of course it will be difficult for them. So, there must be a recovery effort through a psychological approach. We give them an understanding of the other perspectives of the disaster. At the very least, the community is aware and understands that everything has been arranged and everything can be returned as before," he explained when interviewed at the office of the Muhammadiyah Regional Board (PWM) of NTB.

Agung admitted that UAD Psychology students were very accurate in treating the people. They apply psychosocial technique of psychology and provide therapy to avoid trauma. The psychology used is trauma healing for recovery with games, spiritual forms, and various competitions. After joining in the trauma healing, now the community, especially children, gradually improve their psychology.

Hartini, a Pohgading resident, admitted that the existence of UAD students at the site was very helpful to restore the depressed children. They invited the children to play, taught them Al-Quran, taught them at school, and held competitions so that the children became cheerful.

"They also held cooking competitions and several other competitions for parents. We know a lot about how to process crops in our place," explained Hartini.

Meanwhile, Rahma, one of the students who was sent by UAD stated that there were several places that needed education, for example the community of Sembalun, East Lombok. The school has only been there for the past six years. In the village, only religious lessons are taught. Old people are also illiterate. Most of them become farmers.

"We plan to reach the parents. At the very least, people have an awareness of the importance of education for children," Rahma said.

Warga Masih Trauma

Gempa yang melanda NTB tidak hanya menghilangkan rumah, tapi juga membuat warga kehilangan kepercayaan diri. Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) bekerja sama dengan Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC) berusaha untuk memulihkan psikologi masyarakat akibat trauma gempa.

Agung Nugroho Pamungkas koordinator MDMC mengaku, yang perlu diperbaiki pada masyarakat terkena gempa adalah psikologinya. Jika psikologinya sudah pulih, mau membangun apa pun menjadi gampang.

“Bisa dibayangkan jika mereka belum pulih psikologinya dan disuruh membangun rumah yang roboh, atau menerima berita kehilangan orang yang meninggal karena gempa. Tentu itu sulit. Makanya, perlu pemulihan melalui pendekatan psikologi. Mereka kami berikan pemahaman tentang sisi lain dari bencana. Paling tidak, masyarakat sadar dan paham bahwa segalanya sudah diatur dan segalanya bisa dikembalikan seperti semula,” terangnya saat ditemui di kantor Pimpinan Wilayah Muhammadiyah (PWM) NTB.

Agung mengaku, penerjunan mahasiswa Psikologi UAD sangat tepat. Mereka menerapkan ilmu psikologi teknik psikososial dan memberikan terapi agar tidak mengalami trauma. Psikologi yang digunakan adalah trauma healing untuk pemulihan dengan permainan, bentuk spiritual, serta bermacam lomba. Setelah adanya trauma healing, kini masyarakat, khususnya anak-anak, berangsur membaik psikologinya.

Hartini, warga Pohgading mengaku, adanya mahasiswa UAD yang ada di lokasi sangat membantu untuk memulihkan anak yang murung. Mereka mengajak anak-anak bermain, mengajari mengaji, mengajar di sekolah, serta mengadakan lomba-lomba sehingga anak-anak jadi ceria.

“Mereka juga mengadakan lomba masak dan beberapa lomba lainnya untuk orang tua. Kami jadi banyak tahu cara mengolah hasil bumi yang ada di tempat kami,” terang Hartini.

Sementara itu, Rahma, salah satu mahasiswa yang diterjunkan oleh UAD mengaku, ada beberapa tempat yang membutuhkan pendidikan. Misalnya masyarakat Sembalun, Lombok Timur. Sekolah di sana baru ada enam tahun belakangan. Di kampung itu, hanya pelajaran agama yang mereka pelajari. Orang tua pun buta huruf. Kebanyakan mereka menjadi petani.

“Kami berencana akan menyentuh ke ranah orang tua. Paling tidak, masyarakat mempunyai kesadaran tentang pentingnya pendidikan bagi anak,” kata Rahma.

Kembangkan BRIdge, Mahasiswa UAD Raih Penghargaan

Mahasiswa Program Studi Teknik Informatika Fakultas Teknologi Industri (FTI) Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD), Abdurrahman Shalahudin Zaka, meraih juara pertama dalam Bring It On Innovation Award 2018. Ajang ini diselenggarakan oleh Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) dalam rangkaian Bring It On yang berlangsung di Eastparc Hotel Yogyakarta, Kamis (18/10/2018).

Abdurrahman membuat inovasi bernama BRIdge. BRIdge merupakan jembatan untuk menghubungkan konsep dari pihak bank dengan nasabah mengenai produk-produk yang ada di BRI. Inovasi ini merupakan fitur kecerdasan buatan (artificial intelligence) yang ditambahkan pada aplikasi BRI Mobile. Bisa dikatakan semacam fitur simulasi perhitungan keuangan bagi nasabah yang ingin menggunakan produk BRI yang lain, misalnya tabungan haji.

“Dari fitur ini nasabah bisa mendapat gambaran perhitungan besaran uang yang harus disetorkan serta berapa lama jangka waktu untuk berhaji bisa terwujud. Simulasi ini bisa dimainkan nasabah selagi menunggu antrean dan dapat menghilangkan rasa jenuh dan mengisi waktu luang serta menambah pengetahuan mengenai produk BRI,” terang Abdurrahman.

Bing It On merupakan event rutin tahunan yang diselenggarakan BRI dalam rangka memberikan edukasi di bidang inovasi keuangan. Selain itu, acara ini menjadi wadah bagi kalangan praktisi dan pakar-pakar di bidang industri layanan keuangan untuk mengembangkan inovasi keuangan. (ard)

/in /by

Besides active students of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD), alumni of UAD also volunteer for the earthquake in NTB. In addition to their own initiation, these alumni work together with established organizations. One of them is Dzun Haryadi Ittiqo.

Dzun, along with Pharmacy alumni of UAD in NTB, volunteer as a part of the medical team for medicine section. They work with local doctors.

"We traveled to the evacuation site to provide logistics. Logistics that we provide are in the forms of nine basic necessities, so that the people are willing to get treatment. We do this because the people are afraid of treatment. Many people are shy and afraid of being injected. They are also afraid to be demanded to pay, even though it is free," explained Dzun, the Chairperson of West Nusa Tenggara Pharmacy Kamada when interviewed on Sunday (7/9/2018).

The D3 Pharmacy lecturer from Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram (UMMat) admitted that there were many kinds of diseases found there, including skin diseases, respiratory infections (Ispa), cold and cough, but the most common one was hypertension syndrome. This was because of the shock they got from the earthquake, so that their tension rose.

Dzun explained that there were around 200 Pharmacy alumni in NTB who joined Kamada. "Our routine activities are alumni meetings, seminars, social actions such as for natural disasters, or things that have something to do with pharmaceutical field," he said.

Dzun bersama alumni Farmasi UAD NTB menjadi relawan sebagai tim medis bagian obat-obatan. Mereka bekerja sama dengan dokter setempat.

Dosen D3 Farmasi Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram (UMMat) ini mengaku, banyak penyakit kulit, infeksi saluran pernapasan (Ispa), batuk pilek, tapi yang paling banyak adalah sindrom hipertensi. Ini karena kaget gempa sehingga tensinya menjadi naik.

"This month, there were ten students who were sent to become volunteers. Next month, there will be another ten students for the next three months," explained the Rector of UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno., M.Hum., who was interviewed while visiting into the site of the  earthquake in NTB while handing out symbolic assistance to residents in Pohgading, East Lombok on Saturday (6/9/2018).

UAD signed MoU with SEAMEO CECCEP

/in /by

 

Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) Center for Early Childhood Care Education and Parenting (CECCEP). SEAMEO is an international organization intended to promote cooperation in the fields of education, science and culture in the Southeast Asian regions.

This cooperation agreement will be implemented in the Early Childhood Education Study Program (PGPAUD) of UAD, covering the fields of education, research and community service. Rector of UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno, M.Hum., described that this collaboration could improve the quality of PGPAUD graduates to be educators and professional parents.

In his speech, he expressed the importance of the cooperation between SEAMEO and UAD because UAD is a university that has a passion in education from an early age to university.

"Parenting education is currently a very urgent need. Many modern parents spend more time working. Therefore, the time with the children is limited, and they finally give the responsibility of taking care of the child to educational institutions and pramusiwi or a babysitter," he explained at the Islamic Center hall of UAD Campus 4 on Tuesday (10/16/2018).

For this reason, Kasiyarno shared his expectation that, in the future, cooperation with SEAMEO could generate innovations in the fields of education, related to children and parents. According to him, educating children did not only make them smart in terms of science, but they also had to have good moral and mental.

Meanwhile, Dr. Dwi Priyono, M.Ed., the Interim Center Director of SEAMEO CECCEP emphasized the role of central parents for the child development. "SEAMEO CECCEP has a commitment and concern for children. Children cannot be separated from parents, educational and social environments. Thus, we do research, studies, training, make learning media and various other things to support children development so they can become a quality generation. "

One of the impacts of this collaboration is that the lecturers of UAD PGPAUD can send their research or studies to SEAMEO CECCEP to be learning media. The media will be distributed to the community and can be training materials. Meanwhile, the lecturers involved can become international trainers to introduce the results of their research to countries in the ASEAN regions. (ard)
