Militan

Bismillah.

Cerita 1
Hari baru menunjukkan pukul 9 pagi. Tapi sinar matahari begitu panas dan menyengat. Aku mengeluarkan payung agar tak kepanasan. Sampai di tempat tujuan, seorang teman mencibir, “Hari gini pake payung? Gak militan amat sih!”. aku cuma bisa terdiam.

Cerita 2
Seorang teman suatu waktu pulang malam karena harus kuliah di kelas ekstensi. Hujan deras mengguyur sementara ia tidak membawa payung. Di-smsnya seorang teman di kost-an agar mau mengantarkan payung ke kampus, supaya ia tak perlu menunggu hujan reda sementara malam semakin larut. Sms dikirim dan berbalas. “Afwan, Ukh. Gak ada yang bisa mengantarkan payung buat anti, terlalu jauh. Militan dikit ya, ukh!”. Temanku membalas sms itu. “Ooh…jadi kalau minta dianterin payung pas hujan deras, sama dengan gak militan ya? Subhaanalloh…”

***

Aku menggeleng-gelengkan kepala mengalami kedua kasus di atas.
Benar-benar tak habis pikir…
Apakah memakai payung saat panas matahari menyengat demi melindungi kulit wajah yang mudah terbakar sama dengan tidak militan?
Apakah memakai payung saat panas matahari menyengat demi melindungi badan supaya tak makin legam sama dengan tidak militant?
Apakah memakai payung saat hujan deras demi menjaga tubuh agar tak sakit sama dengan tidak militan?

Sekarang coba kita cek definisi militan.
Militan adalah ….
- “self-assertive” (ketegasan diri) dan memiliki semangat yang tak pernah henti, seolah ada di mana-mana (WordNet ® 1.6, © 1997 Princeton University)

- bersemangat tinggi, penuh gairah, dan berhaluan keras (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia)
- ketangguhan dalam berjuang (menghadapi kesulitan berperang) (
asiamaya.com/dictionary/militansi.htm)
- “engaged in warfare or combat” (disibukkan dalam peperangan atau pertempuran) à menunjukkan sikap yang agresif dan sangat aktif (MiriamWebster Dictionary)
- “active, determined and often willing to use force” (aktif, tekun, dan acapkali sudi untuk menggunakan kekuatannya) (Cambrige International Dictionary)

Sedikit banyak aku sepakat dengan definisi di atas.

Militan adalah semangat dan tangguh saat berjuang, serta mampu melewati rintangan tanpa banyak keluhan.
Tapi aku sama sekali tidak setuju ketika payungan di saat matahari menyengat panas atau ketika hujan mengguyur deras disamakan dengan sifat atau perilaku tidak militan.

Hujan dan panas mungkin rintangan yang harus ditaklukkan. Tapi menurutku, tubuh adalah asset dan amanah dari Allah yang harus dijaga kesehatannya. Dan caraku mengatasi rintangan itu adalah dengan mencari counter-nya, bukan memaksakan diri berpanas-panas atau menerobos hujan, meski sebagian orang menganggap itu tidak militan.
Justru aku menganggap perbuatan itu sebagai hal bodoh karena sama dengan menzholimi diri sendiri.
Kalau sudah sakit dan terbaring lemah gara-gara menerobos hujan, inikah yang disebut militan???!?!?!?

Hmm... kalo ikhwan ga ikut aksi berarti gak militan ya?
Kalo gara-gara aksi ga ngaji beberapa minggu? kalo ikut aksi tanpa menjaga adab?
Trus... kalo akhwat ga mau ngalah ama ikhwan berarti militan?

Saya lebih suka militan "definisi Al-Izzah" : Disiplin ruhiyah & Fighting Spirit !!!

to pu --> saya gak pernah bilang kalo ikhwan gak pernah ikut aksi = tidak militan, lho...
pun halnya dengan akhwat yang gak mo ngalah sama ikhwan (eh, tp gak ngalahnya dalam hal apa dulu nich?)
saya juga sepakat sama definisi al izzah. saya nulis artikel ini cuma karena saya merasa, kok ada ya, yg gampang bgt menjudge "gak militan" spt contoh yg saya berikan di tulisan saya.. dan saya sama sekali gak sepakat sama mereka yg bicara begitu.

Thanks for your nice blog f hy, I think I'll tell my cousin to stop by if that's okay.

Hi f hy,
I have to say that your blog hits the spot!
I was out looking for information on surf rashguards but found your post: this post to be far more interesting than what I was looking for. Quite a good job you're doing on your site here... I'm thinking about making a blog about surf rashguards I want to make it look like yours here. If you have any tips or secrets maybe you could share :)

It was great to visit your blog, thanks.

Hi there f hy,
Just to give you a heads up, you're probably going to get some more comments from my family on this post: this post. I found you when I was out looking for sports rashguards product info, and even though this doesn't relate to sports rashguards, I still had to stop and tell you that you're doing a great job. You're about to get some visits from my brother and sister. I told them about your blog so I hope you don't mind.

f hy, I need a little inspiration... I've read your post 'this post', I enjoyed it so I decided to comment. I've been thinking about my blog and how there are all these people posting strange comments there. Maybe you understand, I'm not sure, but it's tiring to read the numbers of comments that don't have much to do with my stuff. My normal rash guards website never suffers this because it just sells rash guards and isn't a blog. Do you have any ideas for how to stop the cluttering of non-relevant comments? Thanks for your great blog. Tips are always welcome...

good day -

Hi f hy, I'm over here in Hawaii on vacation and found a nice internet connection. I started searching blogs to get some ideas for my rashguard site, and fell into this excellent blog you have here. When I came on vacation I knew I'd get to surf the net, but I didn't think I'd get treat like this. The only good blogs are ones with owners like you, actually putting energy into them. Okay, just wanted to say hi and 'you're awesome' - better get back to my rashguard research...

good day ~~~

Great post f hy, without blogs like yours I would be miserable and bored. My recent injury has me cooped up at home, so it's always lucky to find a gem like your blog here to keep me amused. My toddler sun protection website is getting better but it's hard to find information on toddler sun protection stuff, so I like learning from quality blogs like yours because it helps me in my web projects. You do a sweat job my friend. I'll be bookmarking your site in a special place. Will probably tell a friend too.

Nice work ~
