TIPS UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR

Motivasi belajar setiap orang, satu dengan yang lainnya, bisa jadi tidak sama. Biasanya, hal itu bergantung dari apa yang diinginkan orang yang bersangkutan. Misalnya, seorang anak mau belajar dan mengejar rangking pertama karena diiming-imingi akan dibelikan sepeda oleh orang tuanya.


Contoh lainnya, seorang mahasiswa mempunyai motivasi belajar yang tinggi agar lulus dengan predikat cum laude. Setelah itu, dia bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan yang hebat dengan tujuan membahagiakan orangtuanya.

Apa saja, sih, faktor-faktor yang membedakan motivasi belajar seseorang dengan yang lainnya?

Beberapa faktor di bawah ini sedikit banyak memberikan penjelasan mengapa terjadi perbedaaan motivasi belajar pada diri masing-masing orang, di antaranya:
Perbedaan fisiologis (physiological needs), seperti rasa lapar, haus, dan hasrat seksual
Perbedaan rasa aman (safety needs), baik secara mental, fisik, dan intelektual
Perbedaan kasih sayang atau afeksi (love needs) yang diterimanya
Perbedaan harga diri (self esteem needs). Contohnya prestise memiliki mobil atau rumah mewah, jabatan, dan lain-lain.
Perbedaan aktualisasi diri (self actualization), tersedianya kesempatan bagi seseorang untuk mengembangkan potensi yang terdapat dalam dirinya sehingga berubah menjadi kemampuan nyata.
Stimulus motivasi belajar

Terdapat 2 faktor yang membuat seseorang dapat termotivasi untuk belajar, yaitu:
Pertama, motivasi belajar berasal dari faktor internal. Motivasi ini terbentuk karena kesadaran diri atas pemahaman betapa pentingnya belajar untuk mengembangkan dirinya dan bekal untuk menjalani kehidupan.
Kedua, motivasi belajar dari faktor eksternal, yaitu dapat berupa rangsangan dari orang lain, atau lingkungan sekitarnya yang dapat memengaruhi psikologis orang yang bersangkutan.
Tips-tips meningkatkan motivasi belajar

Motivasi belajar tidak akan terbentuk apabila orang tersebut tidak mempunyai keinginan, cita-cita, atau menyadari manfaat belajar bagi dirinya. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan pengkondisian tertentu, agar diri kita atau siapa pun juga yang menginginkan semangat untuk belajar dapat termotivasi.

Yuk, ikuti tips-tips berikut untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar kita:
Bergaullah dengan orang-orang yang senang belajar
Bergaul dengan orang-orang yang senang belajar dan berprestasi, akan membuat kita pun gemar belajar. Selain itu, coba cari orang atau komunitas yang mempunyai kebiasaan baik dalam belajar.

Bertanyalah tentang pengalaman di berbagai tempat kepada orang-orang yang pernah atau sedang melanjutkan pendidikannya ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi, orang-orang yang mendapat beasiwa belajar di luar negeri, atau orang-orang yang mendapat penghargaan atas sebuah presrasi.

Kebiasaan dan semangat mereka akan menular kepada kita. Seperti halnya analogi orang yang berteman dengan tukang pandai besi atau penjual minyak wangi. Jika kita bergaul dengan tukang pandai besi, maka kita pun turut terciprat bau bakaran besi, dan jika bergaul dengan penjual minyak wangi, kita pun akan terciprat harumnya minyak wangi.
Belajar apapun
Pengertian belajar di sini dipahami secara luas, baik formal maupun nonformal. Kita bisa belajar tentang berbagai keterampilan seperti merakit komputer, belajar menulis, membuat film, berlajar berwirausaha, dan lain lain-lainnya.
Belajar dari internet
Kita bisa memanfaatkan internet untuk bergabung dengan kumpulan orang-orang yang senang belajar. Salah satu milis dapat menjadi ajang kita bertukar pendapat, pikiran, dan memotivasi diri. Sebagai contoh, jika ingin termotivasi untuk belajar bahasa Inggris, kita bisa masuk ke milis Free-English-Course@yahoogroups.com.

Bergaulah dengan orang-orang yang optimis dan selalu berpikiran positif
Di dunia ini, ada orang yang selalu terlihat optimis meski masalah merudung. Kita akan tertular semangat, gairah, dan rasa optimis jika sering bersosialisasi dengan orang-orang atau berada dalam komunitas seperti itu, dan sebaliknya.

Cari motivator
Kadangkala, seseorang butuh orang lain sebagai pemacu atau mentor dalam menjalani hidup. Misalnya: teman, pacar, ataupun pasangan hidup. Anda pun bisa melakukan hal serupa dengan mencari seseorang/komunitas yang dapat membantu mengarahkan atau memotivasi Anda belajar dan meraih prestasi.

"Resep sukses: Belajar ketika orang lain tidur, bekerja ketika orang lain bermalasan, dan bermimpi ketika orang lain berharap." --William A. Ward

11 Keistimewaan Islam

Ada 2 wasiat Allah buat manusia:

1. Wasiat Khusus

Yaitu wasiat Allah yang disampaikan buat anak-anak Ibrahim melalui Nabi Ibrahim A.S.

Sebagaimana firman Allah:

"Dan Ibrahim telah mewasiatkan ucapan itu kepada anak-anaknya, demikian pula Ya'qub. (Ibrahim berkata): "Hai anak-anakku! Sesungguhnya Allah telah memilih agama ini bagimu, maka janganlah kamu mati kecuali dalam memeluk agama Islam." (QS. 2 : 132)

2. Wasiat Umum

Yaitu wasiat Allah untuk seluruh orang beriman, sebagaimana Firman Allah:

"Hai orang-orang yang beriman, bertakwalah kepada Allah sebenar-benar takwa kepada-Nya; dan janganlah sekali-kali kamu mati melainkan dalam keadaan beragama Islam." (QS. 3 : 102)

Dalam 2 wasiat tersebut, Allah mewasiatkan agar kita jangan mati kecuali dalam memeluk agama Islam. Ayat-ayat ini juga bisa menjawab syubhat yang didengung-dengungkan oleh Kaum Liberal yang menyatakan semua agama sama. Kalo memang sama, kenapa Allah hanya menyuruh kita untuk memeluk agama Islam???

Berikut saya sampaikan 11 Keistimewaan Islam agar kita lebih yakin memeluk agama ini, dan tidak menjual aqidah kita hanya untuk mendapatkan nikmat dunia belaka. Naudzubillahi min dzalik.

1. Lafadz Islam diberikan langsung oleh Allah SWT.

Allah berfirman: "Sesungguhnya agama (yang diridhai) disisi Allah hanyalah Islam..." (QS. 3 : 19). Hal ini berbeda dengan agama lain yang namanya berdasarkan nama orang, nama tempat, dan nama-nama lainnya yang berhubungan dengan agama itu. Misal Nasrani yang diambil dari nama tempat yaitu Nazareth, Budha berasal dari nama Sidharta Gautama Budha, dan lain sebagainya.

2. Islam menghapus seluruh dosa dan kesalahan bagi orang kafir yang masuk Islam.

Hal ini berdasarkan Firman Allah:

"Katakanlah kepada orang-orang yang kafir itu : "Jika mereka berhenti (dari kekafirannya), niscaya Allah akan mengampuni mereka tentang dosa-dosa mereka yang sudah lalu; dan jika mereka kembali lagi, sesungguhnya akan berlaku (kepada mereka) sunnah (Allah tenhadap) orang-orang dahulu ." (QS. 8 : 38)

3. Islam menjadi sebab terhindar seseorang dari api neraka.

Rasulullah bersabda, "Tidak akan masuk Neraka barang siapa dalam hatinya ada iman walaupun seberat biji sawi." (HR. Muslim).

4. Islam adalah agama dalil.

Pada waktu jaman Rasulullah SAW masih hidup, setiap permasalahan selalu menunggu dalil atau wahyu dari Allah SWT. Islam bukan agama opini, dalam menafsirkan Al-Quran, kita diharuskan menafsirkan berdasarkan pemahaman para Sahabat yang langsung didapat dari Rasulullah SAW.

Diriwayatkan pula dari Jundab, dia berkata, Rasulullah bersabda, "Siapa saja yang berbicara mengenai Al Qur'an dengan pendapatnya sendiri kemudian benar maka ia tetap dianggap salah" (HR Abu Dawud, HR At Tirmidzi)

Apapun yang disampaikan oleh Rasulullah SAW pasti berdasarkan wahyu, karena Allah berfirman:

"Seandainya dia (Muhammad) mengadakan sebagian perkataan atas (nama) Kami, niscaya benar-benar Kami pegang dia pada tangan kanannya. Kemudian benar-benar Kami potong urat tali jantungnya." (QS. 69 : 44-46)

5. Islam menghapus agama samawi yang lainnya.

Allah berfirman:

"Barangsiapa mencari agama selain agama Islam, maka sekali-kali tidaklah akan diterima (agama itu)daripadanya, dan dia di akhirat termasuk orang-orang yang rugi." (QS. 3 : 85)

6. Hukum Islam berlaku untuk semua lapisan umat.


Ada kisah wanita yang termasuk kaum berada yang mencuri yang tetap mendapat hukuman potong tangan.

Hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh penyusun hadis termasyhur yaitu Muslim, adalah sebagai berikut:

“Bersumber dari Aisyah isteri Nabi Saw, sesungguhnya orang-orang Quraisy dibingungkan oleh masalah seorang wanita Makhzumiyah yang kedapatan mencuri, sekalipun ia mengingkarinya. Mereka memperbincangkan, siapakah yang berani menyampaikan masalah ini kepada Rasulullah.

Dengan serentak mereka mengusulkan, ‘Tidak ada yang berani melakukan itu kecuali Usamah, orang yang dikasihi Rasulullah.’ Maka dibawalah wanita tersebut menghadap Baginda Rasul.

Mendengar permintaan pengecualian hukuman atas wanita itu, wajah Rasulullah berubah memerah. Beliau bersabda, ‘Jadi kamu ingin memintakan syafa’at terhadap salah satu hukum Allah?’ Usamah bin Zaid menjawab, “Maafkan aku wahai Rasulullah’.

Satu sore Rasulullah berdiri dan berpidato. Setelah memanjatkan puja puji kepada Allah sebagaimana mestinya, beliau kemudian bersabda, ‘Syahdan. Sesungguhnya yang membuat binasa orang-orang sebelum kamu ialah, manakala di antara mereka ada orang mulia yang mencuri, mereka membiarkannya saja. Tetapi jika orang lemah yang mencuri, maka segera dihukum. Demi Dzat yang jiwaku berada dalam genggamanNya, sesungguhnya aku apabila mendapati kenyataan Fatimah puteri Muhammad mencuri, maka akan aku potong tangannya’.Kemudian Rasulullah Saw tetap memerintahkan untuk memotong tangan wanita yang mencuri tersebut.

Yunus, ibnu Syihab, Urwah dan Aisyah berkata, ‘Setelah peristiwa itu wanita tadi lalu bertaubat dengan baik dan menikah. Satu hari dia datang menemuiku untuk minta tolong mengajukan hajat permintaannya kepada Rasulullah, dan aku penuhi permintaannya tersebut.’ “

7. Dalam Islam, orang yang khilaf atau lupa tidak dihukum.

Allah berfirman:

"...Dan tidak ada dosa atasmu terhadap apa yang kamu khilaf padanya, tetapi (yang ada dosanya) apa yang disengaja oleh hatimu. Dan adalah Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang." (QS. 33 : 5)

8. Islam membahas semua urusan / perkara baik duniawi maupun ukhrowi.

Seluruh urusan dibahas oleh Islam secara detail. Bahkan urusan, maaf, buang air kecil pun juga di atur.

Pernah kaum musyrikin berkata kepada Salman Al Farisi radliallahu anhu: “Nabi kalian telah mengajarkan kepada kalian segala sesuatu sampai pun perkara adab buang hajat”. Salman menjawab: “Ya, beliau mengajarkan kami adab buang hajat”. (HR. Muslim no. 262)

9. Islam saja agama yang sempurna

Allah berfirman:

"... Pada hari ini telah Kusempurnakan untuk kamu agamamu, dan telah Ku-cukupkan kepadamu nikmat-Ku, dan telah Ku-ridhai Islam itu jadi agama bagimu..." (QS. 5 : 3)

10. Islam menghendaki kemudahan dan sesuai dengan kemampuan.

Allah berfirman:

"...Allah menghendaki kemudahan bagimu, dan tidak menghendaki kesukaran bagimu..." (QS. 2 : 185)

11. Islam untuk semua umat.

Allah berfirman:

"Dan tiadalah Kami mengutus kamu, melainkan untuk (menjadi) rahmat bagi semesta alam." (QS. 21 : 107)

Hadits shahih Muslim :

Dari Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Anshari radiyallahu’anh, ia berkata: Rasulullah shalallahu’alaihi wasallam bersabda: “Aku diberi lima perkara yang tidak pernah diberikan kepada seorang nabi sebelumku. Semua nabi sebelumku diutus hanya kepada kaumnya, sedangkan aku diutus kepada semua manusia yang berkulit merah dan hitam. Dihalalkan bagiku harta rampasan perang yang tidak pernah dihalalkan kepada seorang pun sebelumku. Bumi diciptakan untukku dalam keadaan suci menyucikan dan sebagai mesjid. Barang siapa yang menemui waktu salat, maka salatlah di tempat ia berada. Aku diberi kemenangan dengan membuat takut musuh selama jarak perjalanan satu bulan. Dan aku juga diberi syafaat.“

Wallahu' alam bishawab.

ISLAMIC PRESENCE IN AMERICA AWAY BEFORE Columbus

If you visit Washington DC, come to the Library of Congress (Library of Congress). Then, ask the United States government archives treaty with the Cherokee tribe, one of the Indians, 1787. There will be found in Cherokee Chieftains signature at the time, named AbdeKhak and Muhammad ibn Abdullah.

The contents of the agreement include the right of the Cherokee tribe to establish a presence in trade, shipping, and Cherokee tribal form of government which was based on Islamic law. Furthermore, to be found dressed in the habit of closing the Cherokee tribe genitals while the male wearing a turban (turban) and the canal up to the knees.

This dress code can be found in a photograph or painting of the Cherokee tribe who were photographed before the year 1832. Cherokee last chieftain before finally completely extinct from mainland America was a Muslim named Ibn Wati Ramadan.

Talking about the Cherokee tribe, can not escape from Sequoyah. He is an educated native Cherokee tribe and revive their interest Syllabary in 1821. Syllabary is a kind of script. If we now know the alphabet A through Z, then the Cherokee tribe has its own alphabet.

What makes it so remarkable is the character who revived by Sequoyah is very similar to Arabic script. In fact, some Cherokee people writing the 7th century which was found engraved on rocks in Nevada are very similar to the word "Muhammad" in Arabic.

The names of Indian tribes and tribal chief who comes from the Arabic language is not only found the tribe of Cherokee (Shar-kee), but also the Anasazi, Apache, Arawak, Arikana, Chavin Cree, Makkah, Hohokam, Hupa, Hopi, Mahigan, Mohawk, Nazca, Zulu, and Zuni. In fact, some Indian chiefs also wore a distinctive head tutp Muslims. They are the Chief of Chippewa, Creek, Iowa, Kansas, Miami, Potawatomi, Sauk, Fox, Seminole, Shawnee, Sioux, Winnebago, and Yuchi. This is shown in the photographs in 1835 and 1870.

In general, Indian tribes in America also believe in a God that controls the universe. God is not felt by the five senses. They also believe, the main task of human beings created by God is to revere and worship Him. As a narrative Chieftains Ohiyesa: "In the life of the Indians, there was only Inevitable duty-the duty of prayer-the daily recognition of the Unseen and the Eternal". Is not the Qur'an also reported that the purpose of creation of man and jinn only to worship on God (*)

How can Head Cheeroke Indian tribes are Muslim?

The spirit of the people of Islam and China at that time to see more of the planet (certainly at that time the planet has not heard the name) place of residence other than to widen the influence, seek new trade routes and of course expand the message of Islam to encourage some brave of them to cross the area still considered illegal in their maps at that time.

Some names remain so famous till now almost everyone has heard it call it Tjeng Ho and Ibn Batutta, but some are barely audible and recorded only in academic books.


Geography experts and intellectuals from among the Muslims who recorded the journey to the Americas it was Abul-Hassan Ali Ibn Al Hussain Al Masudi (died 957), Al-Idrisi (died 1166 years) Addin Chihab Fadhl bin Ahmad Abul Abbas Al Umari (1300 - 1384) and Ibn Battuta (died 1369).

According to record historian and geographer Al Masudi Muslims (871-957), Ibn Saeed Ibn Aswad Khashkhash a Muslim navigator of Cordoba in Andalusia, has reached the American continent in the year 889 AD. In his book, 'Muruj Adh-dhahab Maadin wa al-Jawhar' (The Meadows of Gold and quarries of Jewels), Al Masudi reported that Spain during the reign of Caliph Abdullah Ibn Mohammed (888-912), Ibn Saeed Ibn Aswad Khashkhash sailed from Delba (Palos) in 889, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, reaching areas that have not known what he called Ard Majhoola, and then returned with an amazing variety of treasures.

After that many cruises are done visiting the mainland across the Atlantic Ocean, which was dark and foggy. Al Masudi also wrote the book 'Akhbar Az Zaman' which includes historical materials from the merchants odyssey to Africa and Asia.


Dr. Mroueh Youssef also writes that during the reign of Caliph Abd al-Rahman III (929-961 years) of the Umayyad dynasty, recorded the existence of Muslims from Africa who also sailed from the port Delba (Palos) in Spain to the west toward the open sea, dark and foggy , Atlantic Ocean. They managed to return with valuable goods obtained from foreign soil.

He also wrote, according to records historian Abu Bakr Ibn Umar Al-Gutiyya that during the reign of Caliph of Spain, Hisham II (976-1009) a navigator Ibn Farrukh of Granada called Kadesh was recorded leaving the port in February in 999 crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed in Gando (Canary Islands).

Visit to King Ibn Farrukh Guanariga and then proceed to the west to see two islands and named Capraria and Pluitana. Ibn Farrukh returned to Spain in May 999.

Perlayaran across the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco noted also by Shaikh Zayn-sea explorers Eddin Ali bin Fadhel Al-Mazandarani. His boat innocent of Tarfay in Morocco at the time of Sultan Abu-Yacoub Sidi Youssef (1286 - 1307) The sixth king in the dynasty Marinid. His boat landed on Green Island in the Caribbean Sea in the year 1291. According to Drs. Morueh, records this journey as a reference by many Islamic scholars.

Royal sultans from Mali in western Africa that its capital at Timbuktu, was also doing his own trip to the American continent. Addin Chihab Historian Abul-Abbas Ahmad bin Fadhl Al Umari (1300 - 1384) detailing the geography of this exploration carefully. Timbuktu is now forgotten, was once a center of civilization, a library and an advanced science in Africa. Land and sea travel expedition made many people to Timbuktu or originated from Timbuktu.

Sultan globetrot recorded up to the new continent at that time was Sultan Abu Bakari I (1285 - 1312), brother of Sultan Mansa Kankan Musa (1312 - 1337), who has made two expeditions crossed the Atlantic to the United States and even down the river Mississippi.

Sultan Abu Bakari I do exploration in Central America and along the Mississippi River north to between the years 1309-1312. The explorer was speaking Arabic. Two centuries later, the discovery of the Americas enshrined in the color map Piri Re'isi created in 1513, and presented to the king of the Ottoman Sultan Selim I in 1517. This map shows the western hemisphere, South America and even Antarctica, with a depiction of coastal Brazil is quite accurate.

Sequoyah, Also known as George Gist Other evidence is that Columbus himself knows that people Carib (Caribbean) are followers of the Prophet Muhammad. He understand that Muslims have been there especially the people from the West Coast of Africa. They inhabit the Caribbean, North and South America. But unlike Columbus who wanted to rule and enslave the American people. The Muslims came to trade and even some married native people.

Columbus further admitted on October 21, 1492 in a voyage between Gibara and Coast Cuba saw a mosque (standing on a hill with beautiful according to the source of another article). Until recently the remains of the ruins of the mosque have been found in Cuba, Mexico, Texas and Nevada.

And do you know? 2 people ship captain who led by captain Columbus Pinta and Nina are the Muslim people: two brothers, Martin Alonso Pinzon and Vicente Pinzon Yanex are still a family from Morocco Abuzayan Sultan Muhammad III (1362). [THACHER, John Boyd: Christopher Columbus, New York 1950]

And why just Columbus that until recently was known as the inventor of the American continent? Because the event of expulsion of the Jews from Spain of 300,000 Jews by King Ferdinand of Christians, Jews and people raising money for the voyage of Columbus and news 'discovery of the Americas' first sent by Christopher Columbus to his friends of the Jews in Spain.

Columbus' voyage is seems thirsty publication and is required to create the legend in accordance with the 'sponsored links' the Jewish funders. The story then we know that mass media and publication controlled by the Jews who even hated by people like Henry Ford's American car was king.

Then look no dishonesty in writing the historical facts about the discovery of the Americas. Abuse of history by the Jews that have occurred since they first shared the Europeans set foot into the American continent.
