Travis Landon Barker (born November 14, 1975) is an American musician,
producer and entrepreneur,
most noted as the drummer for the American pop punk
band Blink-182,
as well as the alternative rock band +44,
the rap
rock band The Transplants, and the
alternative rock band Box
Car Racer. He was a frequent collaborator with the late DJ AM, and together they formed TRV$DJAM.
He also went on tour with Quest in 2007, and made 3 albums with the
group: KSLIP, Why not?, and their most recent, Genius.
After the split of his first band, Feeble, Barker began playing for The Aquabats in 1996 as The Baron Von Tito. He recorded one album with them, The Fury of The Aquabats!, in 1997. His career took off when he joined up with pop punk band Blink-182 in 1998. Barker has since established himself as a versatile drummer, producing and making guest appearances in music projects of numerous music genres including hip hop, alternative rock, pop and country. He has gained significant acceptance within the hip-hop community in particular and often collaborates with artists to compose rock-tinged remixes to their songs.[1]
He founded clothing company Famous Stars and Straps in 1999 and LaSalle Records in 2004. Companies such as DC Shoes and Zildjian cymbals have co-designed products in his name.
Barker collaborated with artists (including Game, Yelawolf, Tom Morello, Corey Taylor, Slaughterhouse, Raekwon, RZA, Slash, and other musicians) for his solo debut album, Give the Drummer Some, which was released on March 15, 2011.
His mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer three months earlier, died the day before he started high school.[4] She told him to keep playing music and to follow his dreams. Barker attended Fontana High School, where he played in the jazz ensemble and marching band. He gained a lot of experience performing at regional competitions and festivals. During his senior year, he passed up drum corps tryouts to tour with a rock band. Barker gained a lot of experience performing with a few early rock bands. After Barker graduated from high school in 1993 he became a member of The Aquabats. He was nicknamed "Baron Von Tito." Barker did go back to drum corps for his age out year in 1996, to audition with the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps, but was ultimately cut and did not march.
Blink-182
was formed in 1992 by Mark
Hoppus and Tom DeLonge. After recruiting drummer Scott
Raynor, the band recorded three early demos and two studio albums: Cheshire Cat (1994) and Dude Ranch (1997). Hoppus and DeLonge fired
Raynor midway through a U.S. tour in 1998 after a drinking problem
became far too prevalent.[5]
Hoppus and DeLonge asked drummer Barker of Blink-182's support band The
Aquabats to fill in for Raynor for the remainder of the tour, and,
after being impressed with Barker, asked him to join the band.
Blink-182 released their breakthrough album Enema of the State in June 1999 to commercial
success, fueled by successful singles "What's My Age Again", "All the Small Things", and "Adam's
Song".[6]
After releasing live album The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes
Back!) in November 2000, the band entered the studio and
recorded their fourth studio album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket,
released in June 2001. The album continued the band's commercial
success and popularity.[6]
After performing with Box Car Racer for much of 2002, DeLonge and Barker rejoined the band to record their eponymous fifth studio album, released in November 2003. The album continued the commercial success that previous albums had endured, as well as being critically acclaimed: Blink-182 represented a more "mature" band than seen in the past,[7] with the band infusing experimentalist elements into their usual pop punk sound, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side-projects (Box Car Racer and Transplants).[8]
Tensions arose between the band members as DeLonge expressed his desire to cancel the tour and enter a half-year respite from touring in late 2004, and the band officially announced an "indefinite hiatus" in February 2005. DeLonge formed Angels & Airwaves while Hoppus and Barker continued playing music together in +44. In August 2008, the band's frequent producer Jerry Finn died of a cerebral hemorrhage,[9] and Barker barely survived a plane crash, sustaining second and third degree burns on his lower body and torso. Both events would be catalysts for the band reuniting; in 2010, DeLonge reflected, "If that accident hadn't happened, we wouldn't be a band. Plain and simple. That was fate."[10]
The band announced their reunion in February 2009 at the 51st Grammy Awards ceremony.[11] A well-received reunion tour took place in mid-2009, with a European leg performed in summer 2010. The band has released their sixth studio album, entitled Neighborhoods. It was released on September 27, 2011.[12]
Box Car Racer is a side project begun by Tom DeLonge of Blink-182 in 2002. This project resulted in one self-titled album, which was released that year. DeLonge said he asked Barker to play drums so that he would not have to find and pay a session drummer to come in.
Transplants is a hip hop-induced punk band for which Barker partnered with Tim Armstrong of Rancid and Rob Aston (former roadie for Rancid). Transplants released two studio records as well as a remixed version of their second album, which was chopped and screwed by rapper and hip-hop artist, Paul Wall.[14] The first album released by Transplants was their self-titled album in 2002. The second Transplants record, Haunted Cities, was released by LaSalle Records in June 2005. After the Vans Warped Tour of 2005, the members decided to disband. This was confirmed by vocalist Rob Aston in January 2006 during an interview.[citation needed] In January 2010, Barker announced that the Transplants would reform for new material.[15]

Barker made a very well received remix of Soulja Boy's "Crank That". In a similar fashion to the Soulja Boy remix, he has also remixed Flo Rida's single "Low" that was later included within the deluxe version of Flo Rida's debut album. Barker is a playable character in Guitar Hero: World Tour and his remix of "Low" is available as downloadable content. Barker is also featured on The Game's 2008 album, L.A.X., drumming on the song "Dope Boys".
He was the drummer for all of the performers at the MTV Video Music Awards of 2008, including Kid Cudi and LL Cool J.
In November 2009, Barker made a remix with hip-hop artist Drake's song "Forever", featuring Eminem, Lil Wayne and Kanye West.
On April 22, 2010, Barker performed "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin on American Idol along with Mary J. Blige, Orianthi, Steve Vai and Randy Jackson.

Barker married actress and First Runner Up Miss USA 1995 Shanna Moakler on October 30, 2004. The couple had a Gothic-style ceremony inspired by the Tim Burton film, The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was held on the eve of Halloween.[22] Barker and Moakler have two children together, Landon Asher (born October 9, 2003) and Alabama Luella (born December 24, 2005). Atiana Cecilia de la Hoya (born March 29, 1999) is Moakler's daughter with former boyfriend Oscar de la Hoya. The family appeared in a reality television series, Meet the Barkers, which aired on MTV from 2005 to 2006.
On August 8, 2006, Barker filed for divorce from Moakler after nearly two years of marriage.[23][24] The couple's divorce was made public as each used their MySpace pages to air their feelings on the matter.[25] During their separation, Barker had a brief fling with Paris Hilton in September 2006.[26]
Despite their pending divorce, reports surfaced in early 2007 that Barker and Moakler were "quietly trying to give it another go" as they were reportedly seen autographing a fan's book, with a heart around their names.[27]
In March 2007, Moakler revealed to People magazine that she and Barker (still married) were back together, but denied that she was pregnant.[28] This admission came after the couple were publicly affectionate at a surprise birthday Barker threw for his wife in Miami.[28] People.com later reported that the couple had separated again. No reason was given for the split. Barker and Moakler were seen together at the 2007 Video Music Awards kissing and holding hands. However, as of February 11, 2008, the couple's divorce had been finalized.[29]
Barker and Moakler were together during a DJ set Barker was playing with DJ AM in Las Vegas on January 7, 2009.[30] The couple attempted to rekindle their relationship in early 2009 but announced that they were no longer together on April 1, 2009, amid reports that police had been called to their home after a fight; no charges were filed against either party.[31]
Barker survived the incident, enabling him to return to the recording studio in November 2008 with long time friend and Keys to the Cadillac drummer Mike Barbalaci. On his first television interview since the crash, he said to MTV, "I'm already playing my drums again, and I'm already back in the studio". Elaborating by stating that the return to the studio "was like riding a bike. It was really exciting to know I still have my chops. It still felt good... I still can make it around the kit. Everything felt right, so I'm thankful to be able to play."[37]
Barker sued the plane's owners, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and an airplane maintenance company on November 21, 2008. He sought more than $25,000 in damages "for pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of earnings, and medical and legal expenses", claiming that the companies had "improperly operated and maintained the Learjet". The lawsuit claims the Learjet's pilots were "improperly trained and should have tried to take off rather than continue down the runway." The mother of Barker's bodyguard, Charles Monroe Still Jr., who was killed in the crash, joined the lawsuit. She sued the companies for "damages including grief and sorrow, funeral expenses and loss of earnings."[38] The court case was settled in December 2009, with lawyer William L. Robinson, who represented some of the companies, saying the terms of the settlement are confidential.[39]
On December 1, 2008, TV Guide reported that Barker would make his first appearance with DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) since the two survived the plane crash. The duo performed at New Year's Nation's[40] Los Angeles New Year's Eve Party at The Wiltern.[41][42] Their performance was streamed live on the Internet via New Year's Nation's official site, and broadcast at other New Year's Nation parties across the U.S.[43][44][45] Of the gig, Barker told press, "I'm ready to get back onstage with AM and continue to rock the house. I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of L.A."[46][47] DJ AM died on August 28, 2009, of an accidental[48] drug overdose in his New York City apartment.
In October 2011 Barker stated the plane crash led him to make some lifestyle changes. He now runs and swims everyday, eats well and has gone vegan since leaving hospital. He has also overcome a painkiller addiction he had for years prior to the plane crash.[49]

[edit] Early life
Travis Barker was born to Thomas and Gloria Barker in Fontana, California. His father worked as a mechanic and his mother babysat for kids.[2] When Barker was four, his mother gave him his first kit, which was the only one he would have until he was fifteen. Barker began taking drum lessons at age five with a drummer named James Wadsworth, who would expose young Barker to many different playing styles.[2] At this time, he also began taking trumpet lessons. In junior high, Barker learned to play the piano and briefly tried singing, joining the madrigals men and women's choir.[2] In addition, Barker had non-musical aspirations; he also was interested in becoming a professional surfer and skateboarder. However, Barker states that "I always migrated back to drums, though. That was the one thing that kind of felt like I was connected to and I could kind of understand. I could express myself better through my drums than I could anything else."[3]His mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer three months earlier, died the day before he started high school.[4] She told him to keep playing music and to follow his dreams. Barker attended Fontana High School, where he played in the jazz ensemble and marching band. He gained a lot of experience performing at regional competitions and festivals.

[edit] Discography
Bumi dan Planet-Planet Lainnya
Dimulai dari planet Bumi: sebuah wahana yang
ditumpangi oleh
bermiliar manusia. Kecerdasan spiritual manusialah yang
akan memberi
makna perjalanan di alam semesta ini; perjalanan
antargenerasi selama
bermiliar tahun tanpa tujuan akhir yang diketahui pasti,
yang gratis dan
tak berujung, hingga waktu kehancurannya tiba.
Namun Bumi masih terlalu kecil dibandingkan
Matahari, sebuah
bola gas pijar raksasa, lebih dari 1.250.000 kali ukuran
Bumi dan bermassa
100.000 kali lebih besar. Bumi yang tak berdaya, tertambat
oleh gravitasi,
terseret Matahari mengelilingi pusat Galaksi lebih dari
200 juta tahun
untuk sekali edar penuh. (Lalu apa rencana secercah
kehidupan kita dalam
pengembaraan panjang ini? Sangat sayang bila kita tidak
sempat melihat
kosmos hari ini. Sangat sayang kita tidak berencana sujud
dan berserah
kepada Tuhan Yang Mahakuasa.)
Pengiring Matahari lainnya adalah planet
Merkurius, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus, Neptunus, Pluto,
asteroid, komet dan
sebagainya. Ragam wahana dalam tata surya itu berupa sosok
bola gas,
bola beku, karang tandus yang sangat panas; semuanya tak
terpilih seperti
planet Bumi. (Lalu, mengapa wahana yang tersebar di alam
semesta yang
sangat luas itu tak semuanya mudah atau layak dihuni oleh
kehidupan?)
Putaran demi putaran waktu berlalu,
kehancuran wahana bermiliar
manusia akan menghampiri perlahan tapi pasti. Namun,
berbagai pertanyaan
manusia tentang misteri alam semesta masih belum atau tak
berjawab. Berbagai
upaya rasionalitas manusia telah dikerahkan dan
pengetahuan bertambah,
namun misteri alam semesta itu terus menjadi warisan bagi
generasi berikutnya.
Penjelajahan akal manusia mendapatkan
fakta-fakta penyusun
alam semesta, mulai dari dunia atom, planet, tata surya,
hingga galaksi
dan ruang alam semesta yang berbatas galaksi-galaksi muda.
Dengan itu,
pengetahuan manusia merentang dalam dimensi panjang 10-13
hingga 1026
meter, yang merupakan batas fakta-fakta yang dapat
diperoleh dalam dunia
sains. Pada abad ke-21 manusia masih berambisi untuk
menyelami dunia 10-35
meter (skala panjang Planck) atau 10-20 kali
lebih kecil dari penemuan
skala atom pada dekade pertama abad ke-20. Begitu pula
dimensi lainnya
seperti waktu, energi, massa, rentangnya meluas dari yang
lebih kecil
dan lebih besar.
Tentang rentang waktu alam semesta, manusia
mendefinisikan
berbagai zaman (dan zaman transisi di antaranya): Zaman
Primordial, ketika
usia alam semesta antara 10-50 hingga 105
tahun,
Zaman Bintang, (106 - 1014 tahun),
Zaman Materi
Terdegenerasi, (1015 - 1039 tahun),
Zaman Black
Hole, (1040 - 10100 tahun), Zaman
Gelap ketika alam
semesta menghampiri kehancurannya dan Zaman Kehancuran
Alam Semesta,
ketika materi meluruh. Tanpa fakta-fakta dan ilmu yang
diketahui manusia
(atas izin Allah), akhirnya manusia hanya bisa
berspekulasi dan tak bisa
mendefenisikan berbagai keadaan, misalnya sebelum
kelahiran alam semesta
dan setelah kehancuran.
Penjelajahan akal manusia bisa menggapai
penaksiran hal-hal
berikut: jumlah partikel (di Matahari 1060 atau
di Bumi 1050), energi
ikat (antara Bumi dan Matahari sebesar 1033
Joule), energi radiasi matahari
sebesar 1026 watt, energi Matahari yang
diterima Bumi sebesar 1022 Joule,
energi yang diperlukan manusia per tahun sebesar 1020
Joule, energi penggabungan
inti atom, fissi 1 mol Uranium sebesar 1013
Joule, energi yang dihasilkan
1 kg bensin sebesar 108 Joule. Sebuah anugerah yang besar
bagi manusia,
walaupun melalui proses yang panjang.
Deskripsi dan Model Alam
Semesta
Kesan umum luas dan megahnya alam semesta
diperoleh penghuni
Bumi dengan memandang langit malam yang cerah tanpa cahaya
Bulan. Langit
tampak penuh taburan bintang yang seolah tak terhitung
jumlahnya. Struktur
dan luas alam semesta sangat sukar dibayangkan manusia,
dan progres persepsi
dan rasionalitas manusia tentang itu memerlukan waktu
berabad-abad.
Deskripsi pemandangan alam semesta pun
beragam. Dulu alam
semesta dimodelkan sebagai ruang berukuran jauh lebih
kecil dari realitas
seharusnya. Ukuran diameter Bumi (12.500 km) baru
diketahui pada abad
ke- 3 (oleh Eratosthenes), jarak ke Bulan (384.400 km)
abad ke-16 ( Tycho
Brahe, 1588), jarak ke Matahari (sekitar 150 juta km) abad
ke-17 (Cassini,
1672), jarak bintang 61 Cygni abad ke-19 , jarak ke pusat
Galaksi abad
ke-20 (Shapley, 1918), jarak ke galaksi-luar (1929),
Quasar dan Big Bang
(1965). Perjalanan panjang ini terus berlanjut
antargenerasi.
Benda langit yang terdekat dengan bumi adalah
bulan. Gaya
gravitasi bulan menggerakkan pasang surut air laut di
bumi, tak henti-hentinya
selama bermiliar tahun. Karena periode orbit dan rotasi
Bulan sama, manusia
di Bumi tak pernah bisa melihat salah satu sisi permukaan
Bulan tanpa
bantuan teknologi untuk mengorbit Bulan. Rahasia sisi
Bulan lainnya, baru
didapat dengan penerbangan Luna 3 pada tahun 1959.
Pada siang hari, pemandangan langit sebatas
langit biru dan
matahari atau bulan kesiangan; sedang di saat fajar dan
senja, langit
merah di kaki langit timur dan barat. Interaksi cahaya
matahari dengan
angkasa Bumi melukiskan suasana langit yang berwarna
warni.
Matahari sendiri adalah satu di antara
beragam bintang di
Galaksi. Ada bintang yang lebih panas dari Matahari (suhu
permukaan Matahari
5.800o K), seperti bintang panas (bisa mencapai
50.000oK) yang memancarkan
lebih banyak cahaya ultraviolet-cahaya yang berbahaya bagi
kehidupan.
Ada bintang yang lebih dingin, lebih banyak memancarkan
cahaya merah
dan inframerah dibandingkan cahaya tampak yang banyak
dipergunakan manusia.
Manusia bisa mencapai batas-batas pengetahuan
alam semesta
yang luas, mengenal ciptaan Allah yang tidak pernah
dikenali di muka bumi
seperti Black Hole, bintang Netron, Pulsar,
bintang mati, ledakan
bintang Nova atau Supernova, ledakan inti galaksi dan
sebagainya. Akan
tetapi, berbagai fenomena yang sangat dahsyat itu tak
mungkin didekatkan
dengan mahluk hidup yang rentan terhadap kerusakan. Walau
demikian, ada
jalan bagi yang ingin bersungguh-sungguh menekuninya.
Dengan Sains Menangkap
Realitas Alam Semesta
Pemahaman manusia tentang alam semesta
mempergunakan seluruh
pengetahuan di bumi, berbagai prinsip-prinsip, kepercayaan
umum dalam
sains (seperti ketidakpastian Heisenberg tentang
pengukuran simultan
dimensi ruang dan waktu), serta berbagai aturan untuk
keperluan praktis.
Melalui sebuah kerangka besar gagasan yang menghubungkan
berbagai fenomena
(teori relativitas umum, teori kinetik materi, teori
relativitas khusus)
coba dikemukakan satu penjelasan. Berbagai hipotesa,
gagasan awal atau
tentatif dikemukakan untuk menjelaskan fenomena. Tentu
gagasan tersebut
masih perlu diuji kebenarannya untuk dapat dikatakan
sebuah hukum.
Dunia fisika membahas konsep energi, hukum
konservasi, konsep
gerak gelombang, dan konsep medan. Pembahasan Mekanika pun
sangat luas,
dari Mekanika klasik ke Mekanika Kuantum Relativistik.
Mekanika Kuantum
Relativistik mengakomodasi pemecahan persoalan mekanika
semua benda, Mekanika
kuantum melayani persoalan mekanika untuk semua massa yang
kecepatannya
kurang dari kecepatan cahaya. Mekanika Relativistik
memecahkan persoalan
mekanika massa yang lebih besar dari 10-27 kg
dan bagi semua kecepatan.
Mekanika Newton (disebut juga mekanika klasik) menjelaskan
fenomena benda
yang relatif besar, dengan kecepatan relatif rendah, tapi
juga bisa dipergunakan
sebagai pendekatan fenomena benda mikroskopik.
Mekanika statistik (kuantum klasik) adalah
suatu teknik statistik
untuk interaksi benda dalam jumlah besar untuk menjelaskan
fenomena yang
besar, teori kinetik dan termodinamik. Dalam penjelajahan
akal manusia
di dunia elektromagnet dikenal persamaan Maxwell untuk
mendeskripsikan
kelakuan medan elektromagnet, juga teori tentang hubungan
cahaya dan elektromagnet.
Dalam pembahasan interaksi partikel, ada prinsip larangan
Pauli, interaksi
gravitasi, dan interaksi elektromagnet. Medan menyebabkan
gaya; medan-gravitasi
menyebabkan gaya gravitasi, medan-listrik menyebabkan gaya
listrik dan
sebagainya. Demikianlah, metode sains mencoba dengan lebih
cermat menerangkan
realitas alam semesta yang berisi banyak sekali benda
langit (dan lebih
banyak lagi yang belum ditemukan).
Pengetahuan tentang luas alam semesta
dibatasi oleh keberadaan
objek berdaya besar, seperti Quasar atau inti galaksi,
sebagai penuntun
tepi alam semesta yang bisa diamati; selain itu juga
dibatasi oleh kecepatan
cahaya dan usia alam semesta (15 miliar tahun). Itulah
sebabnya ruang
alam semesta yang pernah diamati manusia berdimensi 15-20
miliar tahun
cahaya. Namun, banyak benda langit yang tak memancarkan
cahaya dan tak
bisa dideteksi keberadaannya, protoplanet misalnya.
Menurut taksiran,
sekitar 90% objek di alam semesta belum atau tak akan
terdeteksi secara
langsung. Keberadaannya objek gelap ini diyakini karena
secara dinamika
mengganggu orbit objek-objek yang teramati, lewat
gravitasi.
Berbicara tentang daya objek, dalam kehidupan
sehari-hari
ada lampu penerangan berdaya 10 watt, 75 watt dan
sebagainya; sedangkan
Matahari berdaya 1026 watt dan berjarak satu
sa* dari Bumi, menghangatinya.
Jika kita lihat, lampu-lampu kota dengan daya lebih
besarlah yang tampak
terang. Menurut hukum cahaya, terang lampu akan melemah
sebanding dengan
jarak kuadrat, jadi sebuah lampu pada jarak 1 meter tampak
4 kali lebih
terang dibandingkan pada jarak 2 meter, dan apabila
dilihat pada jarak
5 meter tampak 25 kali lebih redup.
Maka, kemampuan mata manusia mengamati
bintang lemah terbatas.
Ukuran kolektor cahaya juga akan membatasi skala terang
objek yang bisa
diamati. Untuk pengamatan objek langit yang lebih lemah
dipergunakan
kolektor atau teleskop yang lebih besar. Teleskop yang
besar pun mempunyai
keterbatasan dalam mengamati obyek langit yang lemah,
walaupun berhasil
mendeteksi obyek langit yang berjuta atau bermiliar kali
lebih lemah dari
bintang terlemah yang bisa dideteksi manusia. Pertanyaan
lain muncul:
Apakah semua objek langit bisa diamati melalui teleskop?
Berapa banyak
yang mungkin diamati dan dihadirkan sebagai pengetahuan?
Makin jauh jarak galaksi, berarti pengamatan
kita juga merupakan
pengamatan masa silam galaksi tersebut. Cahaya merupakan
fosil informasi
pembentukan alam semesta yang berguna, dan manusia
berupaya menangkapnya
untuk mengetahui prosesnya hingga takdir di masa depan
yang sangat jauh,
yang akan dilalui melalui hukum-hukum alam ciptaan-Nya.
Pengetahuan kita
tentang hal tersebut sangat bergantung pada pengetahuan
kita tentang hukum
alam ciptaan-Nya; sudah lengkap dan sudah sempurnakah,
ataukah baru sebagian
kecil, sehingga mungkin bisa membentuk ekstrapolasi
persepsi yang salah?
Sampai di batas mana manusia bisa
membayangkan dan menjangkaunya?
Bagaimana kondisi awal, bagaimana kondisi sebelumnya,
bagaimana kondisi
5 miliar tahun ke depan, bagaimana kondisi 50 miliar tahun
ke depan dan
seterusnya? Apakah pengetahuan agama akan memberi jawaban
atas berbagai
pertanyaan tersebut? Alam semesta yang megah akan runtuh,
akan hancur,
tapi entah bagaimana prosesnya, dan ada apa setelah
kehancuran itu? Kita
kembali kepada Allah untuk mencari jawaban-Nya, karena Dia
adalah zat
Maha Mengetahui atas segala ciptaan-Nya, dan manusia hanya
diberi pengetahuan-Nya
sedikit.
Khatimah
Begitulah, melalui sains manusia mencoba
dideskripsikan apa
dan bagaimana proses fenomena alam bisa terjadi dalam
konteks eksperimen
dan pengamatan, dengan parameter yang bisa diamati dan
diukur. Agama
memperluas spektrum makna alam semesta bagi manusia
tentang kehadiran
benda-benda alam semesta, kehidupan dan manusia. Jawaban
singkat tentang
pertanyaan Siapa pencipta alam semesta beserta hukum-hukum
alamnya: Allah
adalah zat yang Maha Pencipta. Agama memperluas
pengetahuan yang dicakup
oleh metodologi sains dan rasionalitas manusia seperti
berkenalan dengan
alam gaib, akhirat dan sebagainya. Namun begitu, rupanya
berbagai pertanyaan
manusia tentang misteri alam semesta di sekitar planet
Bumi masih banyak
yang belum terjawab atau mungkin tak berjawab hingga
kehancuran Bumi.

Mengapa Anda harus belajar bahasa Arab?
Bahasa Arab adalah bahasa yang digunakan secara
luas di planet ini. Bahasa Arab merupakan bahasa utama dari 22 negara,
digunakan oleh lebih dari 250 juta orang. Bahasa ini juga merupakan
bahasa kedua pada negara-negara Islam karena dianggap sebagai bahasa
spiritual Islam - salah satu agama-agama besar dunia (kita membicarakan
tentang lebih dari 1 miliar orang!). Bahasa Arab merupakan salah satu
bahasa tetap di organisasi Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB).
Alasan lain yaitu bahasa Arab merupakan salah
satu bahasa tertua yang hidup di dunia, dan merupakan bahasa asli dari
banyak bahasa, bahkan ada teori yang menyatakan bahwa "bahasa Arab
merupakan asal dari bahasa-bahasa" dan mereka yang mengadopsi teori ini
berlandaskan pada kenyataan bahwa orang Arab dapat melafalkan suara
apapun dalam bahasa manapun di dunia dengan mudah, di lain pihak banyak
orang-orang bukan-Arab yang kesulitan mengucapkan beberapa huruf Arab
yang tidak terdapat dalam bahasa asli mereka (contohnya huruf dhad
tidak digunakan dalam bahasa manapun di dunia, dan bahasa Arab sering
disebut sebagai bahasa dhad).
Dalam ribuan tahun, sedikit perubahan terjadi
pada bahasa ini, dan bahasa ini selalu sesuai pada setiap jaman,
menembus berbagai peradaban yang menggunakannya sebagai bahasa asli
mereka. Bahkan, bahasa Arab memiliki pengaruh yang besar dalam sebagian
besar bahasa yang ada di masa kini. Mungkin, sumbangan bahasa Arab yang
paling jelas pada kemanusiaan adalah angka Arab (0,1,2,,3,...), tanpa
menyebutkan bahwa banyak kata-kata Arab yang digunakan oleh banyak
bahasa pada saat ini (algoritma, sugar, coffee, kopi, alamat, kabar, dan
daftar ini terus berkelanjutan....).
Mengapa bahasa ini tetap hidup lebih dari
ratusan tahun sementara bahasa yang lain tidak?
Alasan utama untuk pertanyaan tersebut adalah
bahasa Arab merupakan bahasa Al-Qur'an, inilah yang menjaga bahasa Arab
menjadi bahasa utama hingga lebih dari 1400 tahun peradaban Islam.

Mengingat Nikmat Allah, Menjauhkan Diri dari Dosa
Banyak
jalan untuk menuju surga Allah, dan tidak sedikit pula cara untuk
mendekatkan diri kepadanya. Salah satu di antara sekian banyak cara itu
adalah dengan mengingat sumber rizki dan segala karunia yang kita
rasakan. Mari kita bertanya kepada hati kecil kita masing-masing, siapa
kah pemberi rizki yang selama ini kita nikmati? Secara jujur, tentunya
kita akan menjawab, bahwa rizki dan karunia itu semuanya datang dari
Allah Yang Maha Kaya dan Maha Pemberi Rizki. Dengan mengingat bahwa
rizki itu dari Allah, maka akan muncul rasa malu untuk berbuat
kesalahan. Betapa tidak layaknya, ketika Allah selalu berbuat baik
kepada kita, sedangkan kita selalu melanggar aturanNya.Namun walau pun demikian, bukan berarti kita bebas untuk tidak melakukan kewajiban dan bebas melakukan kesalahan. Di mana letak rasa keadilan kita dan di mana letak kewarasan kita, jika seseorang selalu berbuat baik kepada kita sedangkan kita tidak pernah berbuat baik kepadanya, bahkan kita balas dengan lemparan kotoran dan caci maki. Secara akal, orang yang bertindak demikian bisa dikatakan sebagai orang yang berpenyakit jiwa.
Mari kita belajar untuk menjauhi perbuatan dosa dengan menyimak pesan yang tersirat dalam percakapan antara Ibrahim bin Adham dan seorang laki-laki yang sering melakukan dosa.
Suatu ketika seorang laki-laki datang kepada Ibrahim bin Adham, lalu berkata, “ Aku adalah seorang hamba yang banyak berbuat dosa, karena itu, tolong nasehati aku”. Lalu Ibrahim menjawab, “Jika kamu berbuat kejahatan, dosa dan maksiat, maka janganlah kamu tinggal di bumi dan makan dari rizki Allah SWT”. Orang itu menjawab, “Kalau begitu, di mana aku harus tinggal dan dari mana aku makan? Semua yang ada di bumi ini adalah pemberian Allah SWT”. Ibrahim berkata, “Kalau begitu, pantaskah kamu berbuat maksiat kepada Allah sedangkan kamu hidup di bumiNya dan makan dari rizkiNya?”
Seorang hamba yang beriman, sejatinya akan selalu takut untuk melakukan perbuatan dosa, hatinya akan bergetar dan seketika merasa lemah ketika dihadapkan pada peluang untuk berbuat jahat. Dalam hal ini, Abu Atahiyah pernah memberikan sebuah tamsil yang patut kita jadikan guru dalam kehidupan, dia berkata “Sesungguhnya orang mukmin ketika melihat dosa-dosanya seakan-akan dia tersesat masuk ke dalam rimba belantara yang penuh dengan binatang buas, sehingga dia merasakan ketakutan yang luar biasa.”
Lain halnya dengan orang-orang yang kurang keimanannya kepada Allah, dosa dan maksiat adalah hal yang lazim dilakukan, tidak ada lagi terbersit di dalam hatinya perasaan bersalah ketika melakukan dosa, bahkan dia akan selalu mencari peluang melakukan dosa dan kesalahan. Abu Atahiyah kemudian melanjutkan tamsilnya, “Adapun orang-orang yang senang melakukan perbuatan maksiat, dosa dan durhaka kepada Allah, bagaikan seekor serigala lapar di padang pasir yang mencium bau bangkai.”
Ini lah kesalahan besar yang sering kita lakukan. Kita terkadang dengan mudahnya mempermainkan hukum Allah SWT, meremehkan ajaran islam, bangga dengan kejahatan, dan melakukan dosa dan kemaksiatan siang dan malam tanpa merasa malu kepada Yang Memberi Rizki.
Jika konsep ini kita bawa dan kita terapkan dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bertanah air, maka pastilah kita akan menjadi Negara yang paling bersyukur dan taat kepada Allah. Karena betapa besarnya karunia Allah di bumi pertiwi ini, betapa Negara ini diberikan kesuburan tanah yang tiada bandingnya, kekayaan alam yang berlimpah, hasil tambang yang beraneka ragam dan kekayaan laut yang setiap hari diambil tidak ada habis-habisnya. Patut kah kita melakukan dosa di negeri ini, sedangkan Allah telah memberi kita karunia yang tiada terhingga? Mudah-mudahan kita semua tidak mau dikatakan sebagai orang yang berpenyakit jiwa.
Inner Beauty, Karisma & Daya Tarik Alami
Umumnya orang akan mencari solusi
diluar dirinya apabila mereka ingin lebih cantik. Padahal kecantikan
yang sesungguhnya ada dalam diri sendiri. Banyak orang ingin tampil
lebih cantik dan lebih menarik. Mereka bersedia membayar ratusan
juta untuk mengubah penampilan, membeli pakaian, kosmetik dan untuk
membayar operasi plastik. Sayangnya mengubah penampilan secara fisik
tidak serta-merta membuat Anda menjadi "cantik seutuhnya", karena
kecantikan yang sesungguhnya datang dari dalam diri kita sendiri.
Jika yang Anda cari adalah daya tarik,
maka sebenarnya yang paling penting untuk diubah adalah pikiran
Anda. Konsep kecantikan yang kami tawarkan berasal dari dalam diri
Anda sendiri. Untuk menjadi menarik tidaklah harus
cantik secara fisik. Orang dengan wajah biasa pun sebenarnya bisa
menjadi pribadi yang menawan asalkan Anda tahu rahasia untuk
memunculkan inner beauty dan karisma sehingga muncul daya tarik
alami. Cobalah perhatikan orang di
sekitar Anda, ada beberapa orang dengan wajah biasa saja, namun dia
tampak menarik dan banyak orang yang sayang kepadanya?
Kami mempelajari secara mendalam
pola-pola pikiran, perasaan, dan perilaku dari orang-orang yang
memiliki inner beauty, karisma, dan daya tarik alami. Ternyata
mereka punya pikiran, perasaan, dan perilaku tertentu yang berbeda
dengan orang lain pada umumnya. Kami kemudian merumuskan pola-pola
tersebut menjadi sebuah sistem modeling praktis. Bagi Anda
yang belum tahu, kami jelaskan bahwa yang dimaksud modeling adalah
"meniru keunggulan orang lain dalam bidang tertentu".
Dengan kata lain, apabila Anda bisa
berpikir dengan cara tertentu, merasakan diri Anda dengan perasaan
tertentu, dan memiliki kepribadian tertentu maka secara otomatis
inner beauty, karisma dan daya tarik alami muncul dari dalam diri
Anda. Sebagai efeknya orang-orang disekitar Anda menjadi lebih
tertarik dengan Anda.
Program ini adalah gabungan dari
teknik-teknik unggulan yaitu hipnoterapi, modeling, visualisasi, dan
self-hypnosis. Untuk mengikuti program ini Anda hanya perlu datang
sekali dan proses terapi berlangsung selama sekitar 3 jam. Berikut
ini adalah beberapa hal yang akan Anda lalui:
-
Penjelasan mengenai program inner beauty, karisma, dan daya tarik alami.
-
Anda dibimbing menuju kondisi relaksasi pikiran.
-
Anda diberi sugesti-sugesti positif tertentu dan dibimbing untuk melakukan visualisasi.
-
Ke dalam pikiran bawah sadar Anda ditanamkan program inner beauty, karisma, dan daya tarik alami melalui serangkaian sugesti dan visualisasi.
-
Anda diajarkan teknik self-hypnosis praktis untuk memperkuat apa yang sudah Anda dapatkan dalam sesi hipnoterapi.
Setelah mengikuti program, Anda
akan merasakan:
-
Rasa percaya diri Anda meningkat drastis.
-
Cara pandang Anda terhadap diri Anda berubah.
-
Anda bisa menerima diri Anda sebagaimana adanya. Ini adalah salah satu kunci inner beauty. Jika Anda tidak bisa menerima diri Anda sendiri dengan lapang dada, maka jangan berharap orang lain bisa menerima Anda.
-
Secara bawah sadar, Anda yakin bahwa diri Anda pantas untuk dicintai, pantas untuk disayangi, pantas untuk disukai, pantas untuk mendapatkan pasangan hidup yang terbaik sesuai keinginan Anda.
-
Anda menjadi pribadi yang periang, selalu gembira, dan wajah ceria.
-
Anda menjadi mudah bergaul dengan orang lain.
Dan masih banyak hal positif lainnya
yang akan Anda dapatkan setelah inner beauty, karisma, dan daya
tarik alami Anda dimunculkan dari bawah sadar. Banyak orang telah
berubah hidupnya menjadi lebih bahagia setelah mengikuti program
ini, sekarang adalah kesempatan untuk Anda.
