THE LOST OF THE TITANIC

The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10^th, 1992. She was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the 46.000 ton Titanic was colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not only the largest for she had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen water-tight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy less of life.

Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a look-out. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her.

Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and The Captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below, The Captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five or her sixteen water-tight compartments had already been flooded. The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough life-boats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.

Keutamaan diam

ssstt!!!

Semakin sempurna akal manusia, semakin sedikit berbicara. Amirul Mukminin Ali as berkata, “ Ketika akal seseorang sempurna maka bicaranya sedikit.”

Semakin tinggi akal seseorang maka dia semakin sedikit berbicara. Karena perkataan yang matang dan pada tempatnya sangatlah sedikit. Dalam sebuah hadis dikatakan tentang banyak diam dan didekati hikmah. Rasulullah saw bersabda, “Jika kalian melihat seorang mukmin yang banyak diam maka dekatilah, karena hikmah turun kepadanya.”

Allah swt menyukai diam. Diam bertentangan dengan hawa nafsu. Almarhum Ayatullah Mar’asyi juga pernah berkata, “Seperti syahwat yang lain, manusia selalu ingin berbicara. Saat manusia menahan dirinya untuk tidak bicara maka Allah swt akan membantunya.”

Rasulullah saw bersabda, “Selama seorang mukmin diam, dia tetap dihitung sebagai orang yang berbuat baik, namun saat dia berbicara maka dia akan dihitung sebagai orang yang berbuat baik atau berbuat buruk.

Saat seseorang berusaha diam dalam sebuah kumpulan, maka saat itu dituliskan ganjaran baginya. Namun saat dia mulai berbicara, kemungkinan besar dia termasuk orang yang berbuat dosa dibandingkan yang berbuat baik.
