MOTTO

الرحيم الرحمن هللا بسم

“Wanita-wanita yang keji adalah untuk laki-laki yang keji, dan

laki-laki yang keji adalah buat wanita-wanita yang keji (pula),

dan wanita-wanita yang baik adalah untuk laki-laki yang baik

dan laki-laki yang baik adalah untuk wanita-wanita yang baik

(pula). Mereka (yang dituduh) itu bersih dari apa yang

dituduhkan oleh mereka (yang menuduh itu). Bagi mereka

ampunan dan rezeki yang mulia (surga)”

(QS An-Nuur:26)

“Maka nikmat Tuhan manakah yang kamu dustakan?”

(QS Ar Rahman: 22)

“Dan mintalah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan sabar dan

(mengerjakan) shalat. Dan sesungguhnya yang demikian itu

sungguh berat, kecuali bagi orang-orang yang khusyuk.”

(QS Al-Baqarah: 45)

Kadang untuk mencapai sebuah kebahagiaan, kita harus melalui

begitu banyak kesedihan, hanya ketika kebahagiaan itu datang,

kita seperti tidak tahu berapa banyak kesedihan yang telah kita

lalui.

(Ari Purwanto)

Menjadi baik atau buruk itu adalah sebuah pilihan. Tekadkanlah

selalu dalam hati, kamu adalah orang baik dan selalu berusaha

menjadi lebih baik.
