Committing Achievements During the Pandemic

UII Communication Students Win Achievements at International Conferences.

The pandemic seems to never end. One of the key strategies is handling in the line of information. If stakeholders do not have one voice in conveying information about Covid-19 and its handling, of course the public will be in doubt and doubt. So a unit of information from stakeholders is necessary.

Two UII Communication students, Ajeng Putri Andani, together with Roiyan Nangim, successfully completed their research on this issue. Unmitigated, they, guided by Sumekar Tanjung, UII Communication supervisor, presented their research findings at an international conference. This conference was held on December 4, 2020 with Thailand as the host. The conference, called the 8th Asian Academic Society International Conference, was entitled “ASIA Sustainable Innovation: Global Health Diplomacy, Technology and SDGs Accordance.”

“The DIY regional government uses new media as a strategy to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic by means of a single narrative,” said Ajeng. The results of his research entitled Mitigation Analysis of the Provincial Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta in Handling Covid-19 through New Media.

What does a single narrative mean? “Single narrative is a unit of information that has been coordinated on obtaining information from various sources from the Task Force Team,” he said. it becomes the same information to be published through social media, especially the Instagram platform and the website, “she explained.

Ajeng and Roiyan, assisted by another team member from the UII FH Masters, Bayu Mogana Putra, entered the presentation room in the Sub-theme of Disaster Mitigation and Political Science. Both of them were also awarded as best presenters (best oral presenter) in a conference with 25 teams and 23 campuses from 3 countries. Starting from Thailand, Indonesia, to Libya. They raised a paper entitled Analysis of the Mitigation of the Provincial Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta in Handling Covid-19 through New Media.

The participating campuses, if you want to be called, come from various universities. In total more than 20 universities. For example, call it from the University of Indonesia, Indonesian Islamic University, ITB, Unair, Univ Teuku Umar, Raja Ali Hajj Tanjung Pinang Maritime University, STAIN Sultan Abdurrahman, Mahidol University, Brawijaya University, Ramathibodi Hospital, UGM, Sirindhorn College of Public Health Phitsanulok Thailand, Univ. Muhammadiyah Bengkulu, Kasetsart University Thailand, Mae Fah Luang University Thailand, BE Logist Research center, Bani Walid University Libya, Tripoli University Libya, Gunadarma University – Jakarta, Yogyakarta state university, UPN Veteran, Chulalongkorn university.

How to Research and Speak at International Conference

How can you face the world of international academy? According to Ajeng, the most important thing is that we are able to convey the message that we want to convey to the judges. If we feel comfortable conveying it, the jury will more easily grasp what we have to say.

Regular exercise is also quite helpful. “More exercise will not make us nervous, but with that we will be more prepared and more confident,” said Ajeng.

In addition, the support and trust of those closest to you is also the key to success. Ajeng thanks the people who have supported him. For example, parents, teammates, as well as supervisors. He thanked his group team for being willing to support the ups and downs of making paper, “and always strengthen one another,” she said.

Her close friends also have an important role to play, she said. “I often ask them for help. Both for abstract correction and training me presentations.”

Commitment of All UII’s Journal Manager: DOAJ and Copernicus Index Immediately

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Foreign writers consider many journals that have been indexed by DOAJ and Copernicus. Both are considered intermediate indexes at the international level.

That was the experience of the Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (JEKI) from FBE UII when sharing in the FGD of UII Journal Managers on January 12, 2021 via Zoom Meeting. The Manager of Jurnal Komunikasi UII and Asian Journal of Media and Communication (AJMC), international journal of Department of Communication Science also participate in this FGD. AJMC also have been indexed by Copernicus.

Heri Sudarsono, the manager of JEKI, even said that JEKI even gives fees to foreign writers when their journals are indexed in sinta 3. There are also criteria that writers do not have to pay to send a manuscript if they are foreign writers or collaborate with foreign writers. He executed the trick in order to spur an increase in the number of foreign writers in his journal.

There are many tricks and tips that can be imitated and applied to attract international writers to the journal. Apart from consistency in style and quality of writing both technically and in substance, journal indexes also need to be considered, as stated at the beginning of this writing.

According to Heri, the mapping of the typology of journals at UII is still only a few indexed by DOAJ and copernicus. “So this is why, in this FGD, it is important that we make this FGD to determine a forum to formulate a measurable and comprehensive strategy for the development of journals at UII,” said Heri, who also agreed by Eko Siswoyo, manager of the Journal of Environmental Science and Engineering (JSTL), who is also a moderator of this FGD.

According to Eko, there are two types of DOAJ indexes. “Reportedly, foreign writers pay more attention to the DOAJ index with the green tick,” he said. According to Eko’s monitoring, only 6 journals in UII that have been indexed by DOAJ. We have to level it up all our journal to be indexed by two of them.

Imam Djati Widodo, Vice Rector 2 of UII, said that he will continue to support the development of journals at UII, “For example, there was a proposal for OJS training, then yesterday we also supported and gives incentives at the end of each year for journals with good progress.” Some time ago, said Imam, at the end of 2020, the UII Rectorate gave grants selectively for the development of journals at UII, which amounted to around 20 to 50 million rupiah per journal.

At the end of the FGD, the journal managers from all over the UII finally agreed to encourage and commit themselves so that their journals could be indexed by DOAJ and copernicus. The hope is that if these two intermediate indexes have been achieved, writers at the international level will be more interested. The hope is that the university will facilitate, for example, with training and various supports as stated at the beginning.

Specify Your Journal to be Indexed by Scopus

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The Criteria for journals you manage to be indexed by Scopus, it must be specific. However, getting your UII journal indexed by Scopus is not a matter of specific names, but of scope. Of course, consistent use of English is also a major requirement.

“To be indexed by Scopus, it is not a matter of the name of the journal. But the content. In English, reviewers and writers are also plural,” said Dr. Lukman, ST, M. Hum, Secretary of the Central Java Region VI of  Higher Education Service Institute, in the UII’s Journal Training, on January 12th, 2021, via Zoom Conference.

Heri Sudarsono, manager of the Journal of Islamic Economics & Finance, guided the training with the theme “Improving Journal Management Quality Towards SINTA 2 Accreditation and the SCOPUS Index”.

Lukman also said the key to penetrating the Scopus index was to pay attention to two things. First from a technical point of view: the quality of the style and format editing. Then the second is in terms of substance: quality of content and writing ideas.

According to him, what is meant by being specific for Scopus indexing is not a matter of name, but the specific scope of it. “Even so, it would be nice to make a specific journal name,” he added later.

Consistency in technical editing and substance of writing seems to be the first step even when you want the journal to be indexed in any index. The neatness of journal management, clarity of functions among journal managers, the duties of editors, and clear duties of reviewers are also requirements for journals to become references for the authors.

The management of the Asian Journal of Media and Communication (AJMC) has also shown consistency. This international journal in Communications Department has been indexed by Copernicus. The step towards Scopus, as Lukman said, is certainly a little easy step forward. Apart from that, the AJMC journal is already in English consistently and involves various foreign writers. Meanwhile, the Jurnal Komunikasi (UII Communication Journal) is heading towards re-accreditation towards indexed by Sinta 3 (National Journal Accreditation index level 3)  in the coming months.

Participants also asked Lukman, as an expert on publications and journals at the Ministry of Research and Technology / National Agency for Research and Technology about the role of editors and reviewers and consistency in editing journal manuscripts. According to Lukman, editors can write in their own journals, as long as the reviewers are not themselves. But you should avoid writing in your own journal, so don’t only dare at your own turf, Lukman explained.

Lukman added that the editor’s job is to make writing so that it is technically pleasing. “Correction of conformity with the environment is the task of editors, not reviewers.”

Meanwhile, reviewers check whether the writing has a state of the art, has an impact and in a nutshell, “reviewers make their writing easy to read, not check semicolons and language style,” said Lukman.

Participants are also expected to learn from examples of journals that have been indexed by Scopus. For example in the use of cross-linking. Journals indexed by Scopus / Elsevier must have Cross-linking, he said. Cross-linking links refers to their original sources. “You can see and imitate the elsevier journals’s standard, how do you see it in the manuscript,” said Lukman.

Shouldn’t the journal manager change the writing style? Another question arose. According to Lukman, it is permissible for journals to change their writing style, but it must be consistent.

Then if everything has been fixed, consistency has been carried out, what are the next steps? “If the provisions are in place, immediately check the readiness and submit it on “Ready for Scopus” website, immediately. But don’t be sure without all the preparations and register at Ready for Scopus, it will be rejected,” said Lukman. “Most journal incidents in Indonesia arose, so yesterday there was an impression that Indonesia must be careless, hopefully it was not from UII.”

Lukman gave a closing message and impression to the training participants who were all journal managers at UII. “Ladies and gentlemen, must understand the instruments in Arjuna and the provisions of Sinta. It must be consistent, thorough, and observant. Between one volume and the next, whether the writing is consistent with the style, writing, and quality of the editing with an affinity. Be careful.”

Landasi Kinerja Selama Pandemi dengan Orientasi Spiritual

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Masa pandemi covid-19 mendera hingga mengubah budaya kerja di FPSB UII. Peningkatan jumlah kasusnya juga semakin banyak. Bila ada yang terpapar Covid-19, cukup badan yang diisolasi, hati dan jiwa (psikis) jangan. Jiwa jangan sampai ikut diisolasi, kata Fuad Nashori, Dekan FPSB UII, membuka sekaligus memotivasi kerja para pegawai FPSB UII di acara Pelatihan Tenaga Pendidikan FPSB UII pada Senin (28/12).

Selain itu, Fuad Nashori juga mendorong agar pekerjaan dilandasi dengan semangat mengharap keberuntungan akhirat. Sebisa mungkin isi motivasi saat bekerja dengan motivasi yang tepat. “Siapa yang mengharap keberuntungan akhirat maka Allah akan meningkatkan keburuntungan di dunia,” katanya mempresentasikan 17 Lingkaran Motivasi di layar.

Artinya, jika kerja dilandasi oleh motivasi spiritual, maka urusan dunia akan secara otomatis mengikuti. Bukan sebaliknya. Jika bekerja hanya mencari dunia, tentu sulit mencapai apa yang dijanjikan Allah dengan kebahagian akhirat.

Pada hari kedua, Fuad Nashori menambahkan, pentingnya refleksi diri. Refleksi berfungsi menjaga jarak dengan diri sendiri. “apa yang kita lakukan dijadikan objek untuk bisa dinilai dan agar bisa lebih baik dalam melakukannya.” Menurut Fuad, sesuai yang dilakukan Nabi saat menyendiri di gua hira, Nabi  mendapatkan pencerahan dari Allah SWT dengan melakukan refleksi di gua hira. Memberi jarak dengan diri sehingga dapat melihat apa yang telah dilakukan.

Pelatihan tendik selama dua hari (28-29/12), ini juga bermaksud mendiskusikan dan melakukan evaluasi kinerja akhir tahun. Evaluasi akhir tahun disampaikan oleh pemaparan Divisi-divisi seperti pemaparan capaian dan evaluasi oleh Kepala Divisi SIM, Umum, Administrasi Akademik, dan Keuangan. Pemaparan juga diperkaya dengan penjabaran target yang sudah dicapai, evaluasi,dan Program Kerja 2021.

Putri Asriyani, peserta yang juga Staf Pusat Studi dan Dokumentasi Media Alternatif (PSDMA) Nadim Komunikasi UII, mengatakan acara ini bisa menjadi sarana evaluasi untuk lebih meningkatkan rencana kedepannya.

Senada dengan itu, Yudi Winarto juga berpendapat. “Pelatihan ini memberi saya motivasi baru bekerja di tengah terkendala banyak hal karena pandemi mendera. Selain itu, evaluasi dan paparan capaian menjadi momen penting untuk refleksi program ke depan.” kata Yudi Winarto, Staf Prodi Ilmu Komunikasi UII, memberi kesan mengikuti pelatihan tendik ini.

Meski pelatihan dilaksanakan secara luring, panitia tetap menghimbau agar protokol kesehatan dijalankan denngan ketat. Bagi tendik yang merasa sakit, sebaiknya mengajukan ijin tidak hadir dalam pelatihan ini. “Kami harapkan peserta yang hadir benar-benar dalam keadaan sehat, apabila sedang sakit dimohon mengajukan ijin untuk tidak mengikuti pelatihan,” himbau Mira Aliza Rachmawati, Wakil Dekan I FPSB UII, pada para peserta.

Get to Work During the Pandemic with a Spiritual Orientation

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Covid-19 pandemic period has whipped up a change in the organizational culture at FPSB UII. The number of Covid-19 cases has also increased. If someone is exposed to Covid-19, just isolate the body, not their heart and soul. The soul should not be isolated, said Fuad Nashori, Dean of FPSB UII, opening and motivating employees on employee training at the FPSB UII on Monday (28/12).

In addition, Fuad Nashori also encouraged work to be based on wishing for good luck in the hereafter. Motivate your work with the right motivation. “Whoever hopes for good fortune in the hereafter, Allah will increase the luck in the world,” he said while presenting 17 Motivational Circles on the presentation screen.

This means that if work is based on spiritual motivation, your world mission will automatically be fulfilled. If you only work to find the world, it will be difficult to achieve what Allah has promised with the happiness of the hereafter.

On the second day, Fuad Nashori added, the importance of self-reflection. Reflection serves to keep a distance from yourself. “What we do is used as an object to be assessed and to be better at doing it.” According to Fuad, according to what the Prophet did while alone in the cave of hira, the Prophet received enlightenment from Allah SWT by reflecting in the cave of hira. Give yourself distance so you can see what you have done.

This employee training for two days (28-29 / 12), this also intends to discuss and evaluate year-end performance. The end of year evaluation is delivered by the divisions such as the presentation of achievements and evaluations by the Head of the SIM (information system management), General Division, Academic Administration and Finance Division. The presentation was also enriched by the elaboration of the targets that have been achieved, evaluation, and the 2021’s Work Program.

Putri Asriyani, a participant who is also the staff of the Nadim Center for Documentation and Alternative Media Studies (PSDMA) of Communication UII, said that this event could be a means of evaluation to further improve future plans.

In line with that, Yudi Winarto also has an opinion. “This training has given me new motivation to work in the midst of many constraints due to the pandemic that has hit. In addition, evaluation and exposure of achievements are important moments for future program reflection,” said Yudi Winarto, Staff of the Department of Communication Science, giving the impression that he had attended this training.

Even though the training was held offline, the committee still urged that the health protocol be carried out strictly. For those who feel sick, it is better to apply for permission to not attend this training. “We hope that the participants who attend are really in good health, if they are sick, please apply for permission not to attend the training,” appealed Mira Aliza Rachmawati, Deputy Dean I of FPSB UII, to the participants.

Family Gathering Virtual #1: Tetap Meriah dan menantang

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Sudah lebih dari setengah tahun Work From Home dan Kuliah daring dengan model Shift dijalankan keluarga besar Fakultas Psikologi dan Ilmu Sosial Budaya UII. Mulanya, pandemi memunculkan kecemasan, kekhawatiran, bahkan ketakutan. Telah lama pula warga FPSB tak saling jumpa, hanya lewat layar daring. Semua ini dilakukan demi mitigasi penyebaran Covid-19 dengan tetap saling jaga, tetap pake masker, jaga jarak, dan cuci tangan pake sabun di air mengalir.

Demi mendukung upaya tim Mitigasi Covid-19 Satgas Covid-19 UII, Panitia Family Gathering FPSB UII mengadakan pertemuan keluarga FPSB UII 2020 pada Sabtu (19/12) secara daring. Tujuannya sebagai upaya untuk mempererat tali silaturrahmi antar civitas FPSB UII karena tak pernah jumpa luring sejak pandemi merebak di Yogyakarta.

Melalui Aplikasi Zoom, semua sivitas akademik FPSB UII berkumpul pagi itu. Acara dibuka dengan pembacaan kalam ilahi, lalu sambutan dari Dekan FPSB UII, Fuad Nashori. Setelah itu penayangan video lomba, permainan, dan Doorprize. Menariknya, meski Family Gathering kali ini dengan metode virtual, kemeriahan tetap terasa.

Panitia, sejak mula, juga menantang seluruh warga akademik FPSB UII untuk merekam video keseruan keluarganya dengan Stay at home Challenge. Video menggambarkan kegiatan dan aktivitas keseruan dan kebersamaan keluarga. Bentuknya beragam ternyata video yang terkumpul di meja panitia. Ada video kegiatan memasak, belajar mengaji, membersihkan masjid, gowes, makan bersama, bahkan ada yang video bermain tiktok.

Selain meriah, refleksi dan berbagi pengalaman antar keluarga juga mencerahkan. Misalnya ada waktu khusus untuk bercerita dari keluarga staf dan dosen FPSB UII yang terpapar covid-19. Bagaimana mereka melaluinya, kendala, dan upaya-upaya penanganannya.

Mayoritas peserta merasakan keseruan acara ini meski mengikuti secara daring. Misalnya Erdina Trisna, Staf Unit Jurnal dan Publikasi FPSB, “Pertama kali ikut, dan ikutnya secara daring. Acaranya seru, menghibur dari cuplikan video keluarga yang gemes-gemes.”

Tak hanya itu, ia juga merasakan mendapat pengetahuan baru dari pengalaman bapak, ibu, atau keluarga peserta Zoom Meeting Family Gathering yang terpapar covid-19.

Virtual Family Gathering # 1: Staying Lively and Challenging

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It has been more than half a year of Work From Home and online lectures using the Shift model run by a large family of the Faculty of Psychology and Socio-Cultural Sciences UII. At first, pandemics create anxiety, worry, and even fear. It has been a long time since FPSB residents have seen each other, only through online screens. All of this was done to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 by taking care of each other, still wearing a mask, keeping your distance, and washing your hands with soap in running water.

In order to support the efforts of the Covid-19 Mitigation Team of the UII Covid-19 Task Force, the FPSB UII Family Gathering Committee held an online FPSB UII 2020 family meeting on Saturday (19/12) online. The goal is an effort to strengthen the relationship between the FPSB UII community because they have never met offline since the pandemic broke out in Yogyakarta.

Through the Zoom Application, all FPSB UII academicians gathered that morning. The event was opened with the reading of divine kalam, followed by remarks from the Dean of the FPSB UII, Fuad Nashori. After that, the video shows competitions, games, and door prizes. Interestingly, even though the Family Gathering this time was using a virtual method, the excitement was still felt.

The committee, from the start, also challenged all academicians of the FPSB UII to record a video of the excitement of their family with the Stay at home Challenge. Videos depict fun and family activities and activities. In various forms, it turned out that the videos were collected on the committee’s table. There are videos of cooking activities, learning the Quran, cleaning the mosque, riding, eating together, and some even playing tiktok videos.

Apart from being lively, reflections and sharing experiences between families are also enlightening. For example, there is a special time to tell stories from the families of FPSB UII staff and lecturers who are exposed to covid-19. How do they get through it, the obstacles, and the efforts to overcome them.

The majority of participants felt the excitement of this event even though they followed it online. For example Erdina Trisna, Staff of the FPSB Journal and Publication Unit, “First time participating, and following online. The event was fun, entertaining from video footage of the family frantically.”

Not only that, he also felt that he had gained new knowledge from the experiences of fathers, mothers, or families of Zoom Meeting Family Gathering participants who were exposed to Covid-19.

In line with that, Putri Asriyani, Staff of the Center for Study and Documentation of Alternative Media (PSDMA) NADIM Communications, FPSB UII, said that this is the first time experiencing family meetings online. “The festivities are different, still festive.”

Nilai Waktu: Fokus dan Orientasi Manusia

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Menjelang akhir tahun 2020  #ngajikomunikasi kali ini mengangkat tema Refleksi Akhir Tahun 2020 dipandu Subhan Afifi, Dosen Komunikasi UII dengan menghadirkan Dr. Harry B Santoso S.Kom, M.Kom (Dosen Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Indonesia) dalam kajian rutin #ngajikomunikasi pada Sabtu (12/12).

Harry menjelaskan, banyak sekali ayat-ayat Allah yang disampaikan dengan sumpah. “Kenapa Allah bersumpah dengan sesuatu, berarti itu ada pertanda yang harus diperhatikan. Misalnya, demi massa, waktu,” katanya memberi contoh.

Harry mengutip pendapat ahli tafsir, Imam Ibnu Katsir. Ibnu Katsir berkata, al ashr. Atau, katanya lihat tafsir Jalalain, “Al Ashr ini dimaknai waktu ataupun waktu ashar. Jadi ada dua makna. Jadi al ashr adalah ditandai aktivitas manusia yang di dalamnya ia bisa melakukan kebaikan dan keburukan. Manusia kerugian kenapa? Karena terlalu fokus pada dunia. Kecuali yang fokus pada orientasi akhirat,” terangnya mengutip dua kitab tafsir Al quran surat al Ashr.

“Atau coba kita telaah Al Quran Surat An-Naaziat ayat 46. Ketika kita diingatkan oelh allah lewat surat An-naziat, hidup itu cuma sebentar aja,” ajak Harry menilik surat tersebut. Menurut Harry, surat itu menjelaskan pada hari ketika melihat hari kiamat itu, mereka merasa hanya sebentar saja hidup di dunia, pada sore atau pagi saja.

“Tahu-tahu sudah sore padahal waktu untuk beramal saleh sudah berakhir. Ini peringatan nasihat yang cukup dahsyat kalau kita renungkan bersama,” kata Harry.

Seturut kemudian, Harry mengajak para peserta ngajikomunikasi daring ini untuk mengkaji Al Quran Surat Al-Hasyr ayat 18. “Kita dituntut mempersiapkan bekal untuk bertakwa. Umar mengingatkan kita, periksalah dirimu sebelum diperiksa, timbanglah dirimu sebelum ditimbang,” kata Harry. Menurut Harry, Umar bin Khottob, seorang Khalifah, pemimpin umat islam, pada masa paska wafatnya Nabi Muhammad, memberikan kiat pada manusia untuk muhasabah (memeriksa diri) dan terus memperbaiki diri. “Kira-kira hal-hal apa yang bisa kita lakukan untuk memperberat timbangan kebaikan. Jadi kira-kira diperlukan self reflection,” kata Harry.

Bagaimana memulai muhasabah? Imam ghazali, kata Harry, menunjukkan cara memulainya. Muhasabah dapat dimuali atas amal-amal wajib. Sudahkan amalan wajib itu dilakukan dengan tepat dan benar. “Ini menjadi kunci. Lalu kita lanjutkan pada amal-amal yang lain. Setelah itu kemudian bertafakkur seperti kata Al Quran Surat Ali Imron ayat 191. Ini menarik. Bahwa sebagian orang memang menyengajakan untuk berdzikir, tidak hanya duduk, tapi bahkan berdiri dan berbaring. Berdzikir, mengingat tentang penciptaan allah akan semesta. Senantiasa mencari hikmahnya,” katanya memberi tips.

Harry juga menyitir Kitab Ihya yang mengungkapkan bahwa berpikir sesaat lebih baik daripada beribadah setahun. “Pikirkan sejauh mana ibadah yang telah kita lakukan. Merefleksikan cukup banyak hal tentang tujuan penciptaan kita.

The Value of Time: Human Focus and Orientation

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Towards the end of 2020 #ngajikomunikasi this time raised the theme of Reflection End of 2020 guided by Subhan Afifi, Lecturer of Communication UII by presenting Dr. Harry B Santoso S.Kom, M.Kom (Lecturer, Faculty of Computer Science, University of Indonesia) in a routine study of #ngajikomunikasi on Saturday (12/12).

Harry explained, there are so many verses of God that are conveyed by oath. “Why God swears by something, it means that there is a sign to pay attention to. For example, for the sake of the masses, time,” he gave an example.

Harry quoted the opinion of the commentator, Imam Ibn Kathir. Ibn Kathir said, al ashr. Or, he said, see Jalalain’s tafsir, “Al Ashr is meant by the time or time of ashar. So there are two meanings. So al ashr is marked by human activity in which he can do good and evil. Why does man lose? Because he is too focused on the world. Except which focuses on the orientation of the hereafter, “he explained, quoting two books of tafsir Al quran surat al Ashr.

“Or try to study the Quran Surat An-Naaziat verse 46. When we are reminded by God through Surat An-Naaziat, life is only for a moment,” Harry asked looking at the letter. According to Harry, the letter explained that on the day when they saw the Day of Judgment, they felt that they had only lived in the world for a short time, in the afternoon or morning.

“It’s late in the afternoon even though the time for pious deeds is over. This is a warning of advice that is quite powerful if we ponder together,” said Harry.

Later, Harry invited the participants to conduct this online communication to study Al Quran Surat Al-Hasyr verse 18. “We are required to prepare provisions for piety. Umar reminded us, examine yourself before being examined, weigh yourself before being weighed,” said Harry. According to Harry, Umar ibn Khottob, a Caliph, the leader of the Muslims, at the time after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, gave advice to people to muhasabah (self -examination) and continue to improve themselves. “It’s about what we can do to weigh the scales of goodness. So it’s about self-reflection,” Harry said.

How to start a muhasabah? Imam Ghazali, Harry said, showed me how to start. Muhasabah can be started on obligatory deeds. Have the obligatory practice done correctly and correctly. “This becomes the key. Then we move on to other deeds. After that then meditate as the Qur’an says Surat Ali Imron verse 191. This is interesting. That some people do intend to recite dhikir, not just sitting, but even standing and lying down. Dzikir, remembering about the creation of the god of the universe. Always looking for wisdom, “he said giving tips.

Harry also quoted the Book of Ihya which revealed that thinking for a moment is better than worshiping for a year. “Think about how much worship we have done. Reflect on quite a few things about the purpose of our creation.
