The existence Hastabrata as local wisdom appears in some ancient books and manuscripts. Transformation properties into eight elemental gods of nature itself noted in manuscript Pustakaraja Purwa.

Sublime value Hastabrata
Here are eight natural elements Hastabrata leadership:

1. Earth
As a place of life, the earth provides all the basic needs of living things. Earth is a solid and always gives to all beings. Like the earth, the leader must be able to give and sturdy. Giving selflessly to the community that he Ayomi and be the first to be reliable.

2. Sun
Through sunlight creatures on earth able to live and move. Always get energy from the sun, allowing living things to grow and flourish. Leaders provide energy in the form of a vision, goals, and reasons for any such decision. Giving just as the sun is giving continuously, until he did not realize that it has done a lot for others.

6. Wind
The wind can blow anywhere. He formed when there is a difference in air pressure. The leader is a person presence and influence can be felt by the surrounding. The existence of the leader is not as simpol of power. He was a man who jumped a problem and care about the conditions encountered.

7. Month

Am I still a Virgin?

Am I still a Virgin?

Problems:
I am 25 years old girl, I have a problem with my boyfriend, every time we met he always asked for sex. I can not resist the desire he FINALLY he asked simply to masturbate on my vagina. Every time we meet we often masturbated, I was surprised to see my vagina bleeding, time to masturbate I do not feel the pain in my vagina and my evenings menstrual cramps but my red blood blackish.
My question is, do I still virgin? A sign of what comes out of blood was blackish. Mother, help me, I have sinned, whether God forgive me?
***************
Answer:
It seems that you are so anxious and fearful for the consequences of the actions that you have done. Losing virginity very valuable for a woman supposed to be a disaster. All women who still have moral values ​​in him would have felt guilty and anxious if there is "damage" to the blood thinner membrane that characterize virginitasnya before she married.
But unfortunately lust often silenced when the conscience is so mastered self-control. I am sure that you know that the deeds you have done with a girlfriend is something wrong, but you are powerless to resist the urge of lust so strong, then only realized now worried that the crown worth in yourself may be damaged.
I am sorry for sexual behavior you did with my boyfriend. Masturbating girlfriend may indeed be damaging "virginity" if it is done by entering "something" into the vagina. One characteristic of the tearing of the hymen is bleeding due to rupture of blood vessels found in the lining of blood. Namunjika not rupture the blood vessels so the blood would not come out, so the sign of the loss of virginity does not always cause bleeding from the vagina.
To determine whether you are still "virgin" or not you should really see a doctor, because no one can be sure unless the medical examination. But if it turns out "not" something happened to you, so be careful with your sexual behavior is.
Because if you masturbate with a boyfriend (like petting) and he issued a sperm very close to your genitals then pregnancy is still possible. Because even though there was no "intercourse" but sperm may still penetrate thin layers of underwear and swim through the vaginal opening.
Before something happens that makes you regret even can destroy your future then you should repent. If allowed to get married then marry immediately or disconnect the relationship with the man because of the temptation of lust is not easily denied if you are near him. And always remember God's mercy and forgiveness is very spacious for those who will repent.

Already Planning Polygamy

Already Planning Polygamy
Problems:

Hello
I, want to marry my girlfriend, but I always had the idea of ​​polygamy. Blame if I tell my boyfriend before marriage, that someday I wanted to practice polygamy? Because my friends in my office banyakyangmenikah secretly without the knowledge of his old wife. Meanwhile, I would like if I polygamy, the first wife I should know. How is polygamy legal?
Trimakasih


***************




Answer:

Someone when planning to settle down, it's natural to prepare himself. Not only prepare financially but in terms of sheer physical and mentalpun should also be of interest to both parties.

Among these are that before the wedding, the bride ought to have a thorough understanding of building a home. That's why usually KUA invite both prospective bride to listen to the advice of marriage before the wedding.

The purpose menage include family formation sakinah, mawaddah warrahmah and children as successor Salih and sholehah parents and offspring generation for religion and nation.

RHD brother Therefore, before you want to practice polygamy, are you sure that it would perpetuate domestic purposes will you wake up? Will there be happiness, serenity, tranquility and love it decorate your family?

My advice you should first focus your orientation to how to build the ideal family, happy with children who are not only devoted to the elderly but also intelligent and can be a 'person' for the nation and religion.

That is a form of a male responsibility that double play nice As with the husband, father and head of the family. And if someone is really taking responsibility, with only one wife would have to have a 'spirit of jihad' incredible.

Although there is no legal prohibition for someone to ban polygamy but a lot of people who abandoned the child and family, do injustice (injustice), proud and arrogant.

Even if there are found to follow the way of the prophet Muhammad, let him first read and study his life fully and completely, as when, how and why he is polygamous.
Wallahu'alam.

Deal Desire Husband

Deal Desire Husband
Problems:

Assalamu Wr Wb,
I am a housewife who has been married four years. Lately my husband diligently follow recitation. He also began to change. He also became a problem was always firmly in Islam, such as requiring women to wear the hijab socks and wide, which essentially should cover all genitalia. I became a bit depressed with this requirement.

Actually I'm used to the veil. But wearing socks and a big scarf, make my family accept less. The reason, they are afraid of people looking at me the extreme. But for the sake of obeying husbands, little by little I try to wear it until it got used.

But I am a bit uncomfortable with scorn from the outside and from my family. According to Aa, do I have to obey the wishes of their husbands or parents? How good is that?
Regards,


***************




Answer:

Wa'alaikumussalam Wr Wb,
One key to living comfortably is to have knowledge. Ideally, she should not labor for their husbands, but labor for the foundation of science. Science is we get to learn a lot, get through books, radio, sermons, television, etc.. When you know the science, the charity that we do will be more reassuring. Any decisions would be more appropriate.

Obedience to the husband is obligatory, while not deviating from the rules of religion. What was ordered husband to Mrs. cover nakedness, God willing, kind and according to the rules of religion. The problem, perhaps the mode of delivery and the mother was unwise not understand the rule. Suggestions Aa, multiply establish communication with her husband. After that help parents to understand. This is where the importance of preaching and establish relationship.

Middle road is how Mom can close the genitals as well without anyone else suspicious. The most important first meet veiled terms, such as not strict, not transparent, and cover all parts of the body, except the face and palms. The model can be adapted to the conditions of the surrounding community. Allah knows best.

Purpose of Life

Purpose of Life
Problems:

I am a male aged 21 yrs. Basically I live from a religious family, but my first love is the one who committed the sin and love seduced by the world (devotee of love than God) and even with it (love) I made my living as an encouragement. Until now, I still try from time to time to continue to improve intentions, yourself and repent to Allah.

But the more I get closer to Him, as if the world did not become too attractive in the eyes, heart and my passion. So I just want to get closer to God, and even crossed the desire to become a Sufi. But I am reminded of the Hadith apostle to maintain a balance between this world and the hereafter.

Now I can not seem to determine the direction of your goals and expectations that can make me excited from time to time and as a motivator For something I pursue from time to time. So that my soul seemed to be empty with no ambition or goals, and just follow the direction of the flow of life alone. My question is:
1. Is yangsaya feel this? Until now I had blum interchangeable define it?
2. What is the best solution for me?
3. And the goal is the plg best for His servant?


***************



Answer:

Ananda Adha which I respect, salute before you make that can understand and change your life for the better.

Enjoy and live life begins from our perspective on life. How do we make sense of life lived and processes. And man was created by the Deity is to benefit. Not only for himself but also for others and the environment. God does not just tell people to do the prayer and worship only other individual, but also asked to do deeds-social deeds, tithing, infaq, doing good and avoiding evil deeds and understand the creation of creation. Therefore, God made man as Caliph on earth serrta a blessing for the universe (Qur'an 21: 107). And the Prophet also stated in a hadith "The best among you is the one most beneficial to others."

To that end, fix our life paradigm that the main thing in life is the emphasis on the process for a better life. Although that does not mean the intention and purpose underestimated. Savings is the main pious charity, let alone be able to leave a legacy for future generations meaningful as our predecessors who left various science so it is easy to get closer to Allah through pious charity.

Meaningful legacy that will make us happy in the world and smiles happy in the Hereafter. As said Sayyid Qutb when he will face death on the gallows, "the real happiness I feel is when I feel confident that I have left something valuable for successor generations."

Past Husband

Past Husband
Problems:

I was 30 years old, my wife of 30 years. We got married three years ago, is now blessed with a child. I was always curious about his past with his ex-girlfriend. Originally from the psychological side of it but eventually I would like to know as well what they are doing.

Of events began when I saw pictures of her in college with people who became his girlfriend and pages thesis offerings that make me jealous and uncomfortable.

He twice courtship. With the A, he is very loving and courtship lasted for 1.5 years. Both were dropped because their parents forbid their children seeing the A (new college dating). Soon the B meet at CCN. I am a newcomer and his wife knew when she was going out with the B.

I am familiar with my wife as we become new employees at the same company and department. My wife was going out with the B and I become a place to vent when he is in trouble with the B. He then felt more in tune with me and decide if I want B to be his girlfriend. The B assessed his IQ level is low.

All the information that I had heard when I was dating and memakluminya, no problem. But after looking at the photos that are so intimate (which I've seen so far), and a letter offering thesis of the B-containing deep meaning, I am very curious to know the what they have done during courtship. I want to know the details and the more detail-deteilnya getting me very sick.

I realize it's actually not be done, but I can not deny my curiosity. It's very draining, and his wife felt very cornered with questions that are cornering him.

How do I relieve my curiosity about her past. Wife always answered honestly and it makes me very sick (for example, he had hugged and kissed in the parking lot of the A etc. ... etc. ..). How can I assume that it is not uncommon at the time of courtship, so that I can receive a great soul.

***************



Answer:

SA's jealous brother,
Looks like your attitude associated with a feeling of guilt that you are not aware of. I infer from your sentence that says, ".. when the wife was still going out with the B B ..... and will decide if I want to be pacaranya ...." Negative feelings such as jealousy, anxiety, doubt, and so it will drain your energy because only love free condition (unconditional love) that can add energy.

The photos you see in this paper and offering the actual facts that are "neutral" but because of your own fears about your ability to keep the love of his wife, that's what makes you perceive that more affectionate wives and girlfriends favor with the earlier. Perhaps also in the relationship of husband and wife, you catch, but never asked directly, that your wife enjoy it less. This can affect the flavor of PD (confident) men, so suspicious that his wife once more enjoy in the past.

I suggest, you no longer mendedes or targeted because it can REALLY - REALLY ANNOYING wife PLEASURE (frustration) and can keep from your wife (although physically close but inwardly depressed. (Wife is the business for what it is ... a scar still less trustworthy). Moreover, the You permasalahkan is past, you are not to pivot wife of birth ... not fair to question something that happened before you know.

How, by realizing that when we see faults in others (wife), actually all of it is a reflection of the lack of an unconscious, felt is in us, so perhaps you are not happy because comparing with personal experience in the ago. Please refer to and openly express your doubts, of course with being polite. Jalinlah closeness based on mutual trust, love, right, the new kid a scar already collapsed household!

Confused, Pick The Intellect Or The Establishment

Confused, Pick The Intellect Or The Establishment
Problems:

I am a girl (28), working in the field of sales that made me to meet many people. Lots of traveling out of town, even out of the country, if the office sent me to the show or seminar that can add insight. The office where I work is very supportive of my career development.

Imagine, Mom, I just sort of graduate school princess cleverness, but because of the achievements and targets are always met, I was sent to school to earn a bachelor's degree-1. If I wanted, I also allowed the school to the next level, as long as the fixed sales target achieved. Compared to my friends who go with me, what I got was very pretty, even female friends have dropped out all, because married or because they can not reach the target.

My serious girlfriend is a high school classmate who is now out and open their own business outside Java. It's a big city, but, it is not like in Java. I've been there on holiday a few times, but after 3 days, my dizzy, what should I do? I can not imagine, what would happen if I also had to stay there because of marriage with this PS (serious girlfriend). In fact, the business is well established and for the past 7 years of dating, we broke up was 3 years, but keep in touch.

He has started talking about marriage, ma'am, but I'm still preoccupied with work and, this one, ma'am, that my boyfriend casually (PI).

PS If you are hardworking and a huckster like me, then the PI is an office employee (not written yes, ma'am specific activity). Did not I agreed with me that my work is not like that sometimes have to explore the shops, as well as traditional markets to sell?

With PI, I had to close since last 2 years, so I honestly just a year "faithful" since splitting with PS. In the second year he moved, I was already familiar with the PI. His world was so different from my world. He was serious, educated, hobbies are reading, listening to classical music and watching the painting exhibition.

If I were invited to dinner with friends, not in fast food restaurants as I always do with PS the very practical, visiting all sales outlets. We went to a five star hotel, dine while listening to live music. Anyway it feels romantic and very intelligent.

After going to the PI, I am so happy to dress up, good buy good books, discuss topics that are in, and it also increases the need to broaden the horizon. PS Why do not I let go? Because, in meeting the needs of a woman, I feel more capable PS made me feel safe, protected and have someone guide me. The drawback is 'less cool' and not a PI intellect. Jealousy makes me ge-er, big flavor that I was really the maintenance of a well. In short, I am not excited and wondered to myself, did he seriously think I meant to him. Perhaps, this is also what makes me tend to oversimplify, PS, yes, ma'am. If you underestimate, heck, I guess not.

While the PI, because the modern spirit, I want to be able to really feel aligned with him. Trying democratic and never tried to know the personal side of me, if I did not start it. For example, he did not ask me introduce you to the parents, but did not resist when I introduce. He always keep my personal life, my privacy, not bothered by it. Did not ask about my past, because he was not happy when I try to dig deeper into his past.

He thinks, what matters is the present and the future. Since both parents are dead and I do not know how many brothers he, I practically do not know you at all PI. Unlike right with the PS that I know the whole family, even grandparents and neighbors in his childhood, in his hometown first.

Certainly smarter PI makes me soar into the sky with a shipment flowers, visits, and full of surprise gifts and words that clearly express his love on me. That is, never be uttered by the PS. We talk more about how the sales strategy can we use to work, in order to obtain higher commissions and quickly got the money to get married stock. On marriage, PI gives 'signs' indirectly that he had not wanted to be bound, as he loudly once suggested that I go to school anymore.

Are not I so got three choices, Mom? Married with PS, which also means my career finished up here. I also do not like the thought that after marriage remains to be far apart the PS. If yet my work again, apparently this means I help business. And I had to live in the city where the PS now do business.

Go back to school, can contain the consequences of losing PS, since he has repeatedly said it was tired of dating and want to quickly settled family. Although when I went to school again, I am sure I will get better insight and it is not impossible, would be more career skyrocketed. In my office there are no women with S-2 in the path of these sales.

Choosing remains dating to the PI still makes me nervous, because it does not feel 100 percent sure that I was not a friend isengnya, but he has serious intentions on me. Hopefully, I am not the type of women who are afraid of being chased age, ma'am, but if you have to do this-this continues for 3 or 4 years, while there are men who established and clearly loves me and invite mate, not stupid name that I chose is the uncertainty?

Apparently, more and more I feel that the burden is heavy, ma'am, so lately at work also began to focus not. As with PS was sometimes there is a sense of guilt, as well as with PI wondering exactly who he is? Because of my efforts to further identify themselves during these did not produce any results.

Bu Rieny help me, huh? Thank you.

****************



Answer:

People who still have a chance to choose is usually a happy person, because there are many women who did not have a choice and then live a life full of compulsion. It turns out, have a lot of options also provide the opportunity for confusion, huh Linda? Confused because it appears in all the alternative options available, Linda still has an element of uncertainty. His name is also talking about human beings, does not there may be 100 percent sure.

However, it is also a fact that more people are choosing and then do not regret the choice, as those who can be said to be 'wrong choice'. Why? Try, Linda deh look, not Linda will find that they are in a hurry to make a decision, that is not accompanied by the desire to find relevant information as possible, while being true to themselves, will usually feel miscast. Why? Because when setting the option that he did not examine it well, what need in him to be satisfied with the choice had dropped. If you choose or decide on something more because of the insistence of things outside himself, greater the chances for a mistake. And even worse if it's actually someone else choose for us!

In connection with options regarding important decisions in life, the first you must understand correctly is yourself. If we call L and I and N and D and A are good at selling it, we are actually talking about a figure that like? What did he make his goals, what he wants for his future, how he would like to achieve? More importantly, what are the advantages and what are the weaknesses and shortcomings as a human being?

Then, for the name of marriage, how 'a Linda' live and give meaning to the tie? The more obvious answer, increasingly know Linda put herself in the arena of life choices that have to be taken. Linda would say choose correctly and wisely, if it turns more positive side that accompany decisions or choices Linda eventually take.

How to make that choice did not miss much of what Linda thought, and expect in the future? The answer back to myself again Linda. Makin know what Linda would gain by choosing one that is more stable later Linda live. The most vulnerable point of fact here, because people (especially women) make a lot of important decisions in his life based on faith and understanding that are not realistic about the reality presented in front of him.

About choosing a partner, for example. If Linda is basically a romantic woman who expects to be fulfilled needs romantismenya through marriage, wrong when choosing a PS that seems (like most men) is the figure of a practical-practical way of looking at life and marriage.

But if Linda believes that the requirement to obtain a marriage will establish together with someone, while meeting the needs for clothing, food, shelter and further reassurance that her husband was not easy to fall in love with another woman, less wise to choose the man who once smooth mouth seduction-seduction issued a lull women into the sky. Typically, he did so easily repeat the same thing to other women who are digandrunginya!

What about factors spouse or potential spouse? Obviously we need to know how to interpret it a marriage. What is the meaning of marriage for our boyfriends? If we have a lot in common here, it's easier to process mutual understanding between the two, rather than understanding that a marriage is much different between the two.

Then, as this will be a long-term contract, even a lifetime (we hope not if marriage is for life once), to remember, too, that people are always changing and evolving. Will we, the husband and wife, grown with up to 10 or 15 years from now, not the gap created due to the level of education, background, interests and skills to make money differently?

At your age, should aspects are interrelated also increasingly complex. There is a career there, there is also a need to add a title, while the work yourself, if increasing degree, you'll gain a greater opportunity. How then you compensate these opportunities, if only it then lost because you have to take a husband?

You did not ask me, what if I became Linda, what decisions would I take? But I'd like to share, what if I became Linda. The first one, I would say to myself,'' I think I've got enough levels of loyalty to my girlfriend. The proof, I'm going out again so the PS away. "Then, I will also disconnect the PI, because after all I did not visit was steady go together with it. Proof, I still maintain my PS distant outer islands. Would not this meant that he also had a sense comparable to PI is looking intellect?

If I were Linda, I would think hard, lest I not love and falling in love, but because PI can present a completely different experience to what I live for it with PS, I marveled at once flattered. Next to him and cause a sense of comfort, but mungkiiiiin, this is not love, you know. Just something different course from what was experienced and lived over the years.

Well, is not it then be brought Linda to thinking about what LOVE really is? Create a list deh, the accompanying feelings, and how PI and PS can fulfill. If everything did not give sufficient confidence, it's okay too, if you do not pick it both ways and go back to school? Well, that about this one, do not be joined in my words, yes Linda, because Linda's final word must remain decisive.

Thus, regardless of the risks posed by these options later, Linda would not blame anybody but myself Linda alone. What if this time the "science of sales" it used? The questions are answered Linda dear, why do people decide to buy? Should not it not only because of LOVE? Well, hopefully Linda also carefully before buying, uh one, before making a choice. Lots of love.

Answer:

Failure is something that is painful and every person must have felt a failure although with different levels. Even many around us - without us knowing - those that have failed to higher levels than thought
What we must understand is how we respond to this failure. Since you consider the severity of the problem, you feel that being "dogged unbroken unfortunate", and eventually become apathetic and demoralized. You also end up confused as to solve the problem. Actually, apathy and confusion not have to happen if you can still think clearly. Usually, the problem becomes heavy and confused to solve it because we can not separate yourself from the problem and too emotionally involved.

But if you try to "keep a distance" from the problems and controlling your emotions, problems will be more easy to find a solution. By thinking clearly, you can break down the problem better. You can more easily find the root cause of the problem. And that's the root cause then you try to find a solution.
Therefore, do not consider weight problems facing so you can keep the spirit of optimism and resolve. That you still able to think clearly to find a solution.

Think of failure as a way to achieve success.
Indeed, in fact the more you fail, the more we know how to get success. Conversely, people who never failed also will never know how to achieve success. This is what you should keep in mind so as not to be disappointed with the failure. If you fail, throw away those thoughts did not dare try it again. Instead you have to be motivated to try again because you are actually getting closer to success.
A strange thing if you are discouraged by failure.

Failure is only painful at first, but after that it contains a lot of wisdom. You'll know more about how to achieve success. Failure as a way to achieve success is not the words that filled rhetoric, but it's been proven to be true by many successful people. One such example, the Prophet Muhammad, Thomas Alva Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Jack Canfield (author of Chicken's Soup series), Billi PS. Lim (author of "Dare to Fail"), and others.

If you believe that failure is not failing in the real sense, but "conditions" for success, then you will never be pessimistic about the failure. Instead you will increase the spirit of failure. Even if you have experienced failure more and more, great growing your spirit to try again. Because you are sure that soon you will achieve success.

Minder For Appearance

Minder For Appearance
Problems:

Miss Maya, I am a 24 year old woman, about to graduate college. It's been years was not happy with the condition of the body and my appearance is not attractive. Frankly, I think I'm ugly, I mean physically, not pretty interesting as others. Clothing styles, make-up or whatever hairstyle try-try, it does not find a match, it all makes me appear more strange and sad that I hate myself. I felt my body was too skinny and shapeless, not to mention the color of my skin are dark and dull, wear whatever color is so dead and not matching. Hair too thick and stiff to be less manageable. The most miserable, I felt my face was not pretty, but mommy and daddy arguably quite beautiful / handsome. Although he felt guilty for not appreciate a gift from God, can not I avoid I often envied by other women who can look like a model, white and clean, wearing what looked confident and flexible so it can be a lot of friends. As for me, always feel confident not so lazy socializing. I've followed the skin care in specialized clinics, formerly also pretty diligent to the spa for a treatment that is quite expensive. Now I've been lazy and stopped in the middle of the road because money runs out and no results.

It was really stressful ya, I'm not a spirit for life, even I'm actually very lazy college and hang out. 's My favorite place is my bedroom, where I can reflect and cry as much. I want to get out of this problem, because I know it's not healthy. But how do ya?

***************



Answer:
Dear Rosa, problem rooted in the perception and subjective evaluation are negative about yourself, which makes you feel physically look unattractive and also makes you think that other people think so. In fact, it is not necessarily correct tablets.

Recognizing the shortcomings themselves to a certain extent is good, so you do not become arrogant and narcissistic (self adore). Pain is not satisfied with appearance can also be a booster for the diligent care of yourself, exercise, attention to diet and nutrition, as well as add insight into fashion trends and makeup in order to appear more attractive. However, all that is finite, must not become an obsession that controls your mind, makes you feel very uncomfortable (even hate!) With yourself, you're stressed and consequently fell into depression.

Actually, there is a special term for the extreme discomfort of the performances themselves, namely body dysmorphic disorder. On the condition or disorder is considered pathological, the sufferer feeling very disturbed even hate her physical appearance is believed poor, unattractive, so he was depressed, stress and depression that interferes with their ability to function healthily in his life (not thinking, working, socializing or run his roles in the family and society). Of course it was very miserable and impossible to enjoy living in such conditions. In fact, the reality is usually not as bad as the people think / feel.

* I would like to ask you to think back about the things that have you believe:

Is it true that you are not attractive?
What is the evidence?
Any losses arising from the belief that? (Think of how many things you did not do or try to avoid you because you think ugly)
Is it true that nothing can be done to improve the situation?

There are some basic things you need to reflect back and biodiversity:
Any attempt you do to change your appearance will not be fruitful result if you do not change or remove your negative first self-assessment. Will be worth it all nice clothes, makeup and hair styles that you use the latest to cover the 'flaw', if deep in your heart you still believe that 'all was to no avail, it will not work to make myself more attractive'.
Physical beauty is not everything and that is totally relative. Kindness, sincerity and humility, manners and sensibility themselves are other things that will give you more value in the eyes of others and it is more universal.


Next, try the following:
Build a more positive self-concept and try to be more objective in judging yourself. Recognize talents-talents and try to continue to develop a positive activity even fruitful achievements to be proud of, so you do not worry about physical appearance glued.
Every individual is unique, so even physically. Rather than focus on the shortcomings and looking for body parts that feel perfect, try to find the parts of the face or your physical unique characteristic or feature characters yourself. Is that great or slanted eyes, small nose, wide lips, but has a charming smile lines, dimples in cheeks, brown skin color is sweet, and so forth. You are unique without needing pretty perfect!
Control yourself to not constantly in the mirror, because it will only add to your worries and make you more and more fixated on the "shortcomings" you.
Put yourself to the family and those closest (parents, siblings, cousins, friends, etc..) And try to make friends with the people around you (could classmates, neighbors, cousins, etc.), because they are a source of emotional support precious. Get rid of fear heckled, insulted, or considered less, because it will only make you more and more shut down and avoid promiscuity. Try to be more open, they make the vent to talk about negative emotions you feel and listen to the advice that can foster self-esteem.
If the problem is deemed too severe to overcome yourself, seek professional help with a visit to a psychologist or psychiatrist who practices in your city. You can undergo therapy to transform yourself into a more positive assessment, but be careful if you decide to use antidepressants to treat depression. Understand completely all side effects that may be caused by the use of a long and continuous.

Indeed, to foster self-confidence and develop a more positive self-concept and the process takes time that is not easy. However, try to survive and be patient, instill a strong desire within you to be more loving and live comfortably with yourself. Believe Rosa.

In Indonesia, I had two drivers and four helpers. However, all that I left because I was married to my husband who had almost twenty years of living here with his family. Only about seven months here I got a job, not a lot of salary for the job is moving in the social sphere.

My boss believed in my ability and he always told me that I was smart, clever, and a hard worker. Even then I was promoted to work in some other states with better salaries, but the husband does not agree.

My parents raised us should not insult others, should appreciate the maid. Do not call people with dogs and pigs. Street thugs just do not call it that, but it's pronounced wife made here.

I admit we were both a lot of mistakes, that I try In order to improve. However, it is very difficult because there is a sense of anger, disappointment, and I do not want to be trampled continue.

Probably my biggest mistake was first long-distance courtship. I do not know him closely. Goodness husband is he basically very helper, let alone for others. Help me Mrs. Leila, what can my husband do to save this marriage? "

Answer:

Five years of marriage is the beginning of the most difficult period since had to adjust to living in a home with a partner. In doubles you feel its weight because you do not know him in real terms, plus an adjustment living in a foreign country. Plus the attitude of husbands and relatives who like to harass when you most need support.

However, do not despair Y, I believe you are smart and strong. Try to take a look at this problem gracefully.

1. You graduated with cum laude in college in your field, but about the kitchen, nyopir, and living habits in a foreign country, you still beloon genuine knowledge. A local professor is not necessarily know how to make egg scramble albino child can do 10-something years.
Be prepared to learn from those who have advanced in terms of the kitchen, cheap shopping, nyopir without incurring penalties. Learn with humility and sincerity. Do not be offended when reprimanded, come laugh when they laugh at the stupidity of us.

2. Invite your husband work together in an effort to up grade your self. Do not be upset if reprimanded. I see a medical specialist known in Indonesia has repeatedly failed to get a driver's license in Cambridge because no bribe because there is also the right wheel. You are lucky to have a husband helper.
Ask help support your efforts to learn many new things. Relationship experts say, we need to express our desire and warned if anything goes wrong. However, do so wisely and well that does not make people upset.

3. Certainly hard to change their habits in harassing people, but you do not have to follow that. Get used to the comments about the "glass half full" view of the good and people from different circumstances. It's good for your mental health as well as their own.

4. Exercise is right for you is to know each other better in the first. Getting to know each of the past, present, and future. Intricacies of fear, excitement, and dreams. For example, by asking and answering each question: who is a close friend while in elementary school? What is the most dreaded experiences as a child? What is the most fun first? What are the day-to-day activities and who is close friends at work? Music and movies are most popular and which are not? Dreams and aspirations of what you want to accomplish?

Show intimacy and warmth in attitude as a couple. If so diligently over time he will be affected as well, a softer heart, and your marriage will be more affectionate.

Finding the Desire yet Companion
Problems:

I am a 26-year-old boy, in April next year inshaAllah I even entered the age of 27 years. A number of marriage duly did. However I have the following constraints:

Actually I was ready to go into marriage. My sincere intention to foster home full of blessing God. However, I am confused should marry whom. To this day I do not have a candidate companion of that as I want. Actually a lot of women who offer their love to me, but I can not accept them because I do not love them. I just think of them as friends only. Actually I've been told that I have the physical perfection and maybe everything. Alhamdulillah in terms of my religion too unreliable though not too faqih in the problem, but the fundamentals of the Islamic law to have understood me, the material I have already had, and may be practically established because I am a businessman though not great, education is also alhamdulillah since I graduated SI.

But my boys are very shy, I do not have the courage to get acquainted with the woman that I like especially to express the word love. I do not know what to do. I crave a woman beautiful face, slender, graceful, berakhlaq and shy, and can socialize with anyone. I was really craving a woman like Fatimatuzzahra. But nevertheless I have not got. While the desire to get married is always disturbing, especially when I read the sweet story of the Prophet with Aisha's mother. The desire was more passionate.

I dream about a woman who can make me closer to God. But I also always prioritize her physically, even if religion and morality is much more important than all of that. What should I do? I fear that it stays like this, because Satan is always tempting to plunge mankind. Please help me. what should I do? So, thank you.
Wassalamualaikum.

Assalammu'alaikum wr. wb.
God blessed Surrahman brother, Subhanallah, the favor of Allah on you because you gave so many advantages that make your ideal look in her eyes. Physical possession of the good, educated, religious and financially secure enough. But you seem to be confused as well because even myself have been able to get married and wish for the rose is so big but not yet found the ideal woman you expect.

Looking for a couple who meet all the desired criteria is not easy and it often makes a person ultimately kept delaying the wedding blocked until marriage. Nothing wrong was to establish criteria for our partner, but if things seem urgent for us (like worrying fall in adultery) tastes better if it can be somewhat flexible by adjusting the bit between expectations and reality.

This means that although existing criteria you specify then try to make a priority value from it, so as to criteria not a priority maybe you can be more lenient. Like we choose something, then usually if nothing really fit with what we want then we will choose the most similar objects or even if not all of the functions that we expect there, namuntetap give us kepuasankarena has an advantage on the other.

And of course it should be a priority so that does not make you wrong should be adjusted with the guidance of the prophets that always makes religion and morality as a top priority. And in this case you also might not just passively waiting for someone offered but may actively seek out, for example through a relative or a friend that you think must also have credibility in both the religious and akhlaqnya.

So keep trying with good road and blessed him with is always accompanied by prayer to God. May Allah bring the best match for you according to His good world and the hereafter. Amen.
Wassalammu'alaikum wr. wb.

Reconciliation

Reconciliation
Problems:

Assalammu'alaikum wr. wb.
Mrs. Anita, my 30-year-old man. Not long ago I experienced the events that rocked my life. I'm going through a divorce after being married for 3 years, and already has a son almost 2 years old. My ex-wife was 30 years old. During the wedding, my household is always tinged with controversy. This is due to differences in conflicting thoughts. He's actually a lot to know the laws of religion, but more seeking relief-relief that is not in place.

I stamped extremely religious and extreme in his religion, but I think the actual content of my faith is still very far from perfect. When I run the daily prayers, I considered abandoning our son which he had always watched and guarded. Though we live not alone but with his parents in the house so crowded people. I considered less responsible as more important than family worship, although it is an individual duty of worship.

During his marriage to her, I was quiet, trying to be patient and obey his will because he wanted to avoid a bigger fuss. In addition it was also because I felt did not have any power against my ex-wife, because it is a condition we are still riding in his parents' home in the town of X, and I am at work in the town of Y due to my ex-wife was afraid to live self-deprivation and fear when joined with me in town Y, In addition he also still love to leave her job at a hotel, which is surrounded by the luxury of making it more often look up.

I feel I have no power as the leader of the family while in his parents' house, because I was not able to guide and make it obedient to her husband as long as he still insisted to stay at home parents. He still often hide behind their parents. Even the name of my gift to our son who Insha Allah was not significantly better everyday wear, a nickname used is that it provides that no element pray, so that the original name of my son was drowned. At that time I think often we divorce it may be better, because I feel very heavy responsibility that I carry with married him, I was not able to figure out how what else should I use for membinanya and make it obedient.

From the subtle way in the form of an invitation to tender and rough words angrily. In fact I often made threats to him, as if these circumstances continue and told he would not respect me as a leader of the family, then I am no longer able to keep this marriage. When I say that he, too, fell silent. I realized that in fact we still love each other, but the behavior often does not reflect that. Especially when considering the conditions we already have a son, I tried to dampen appetite for divorce. However, the incidence of divorce was ultimately inevitable, then I've moved on to work in country Z, while he was still in town X.

Just because a small problem that could have been resolved by speaking well and push each other each esteem, I buried a time bomb that finally exploded too when I visited him at his parents' house. I give her back to her parents. But eventually we both regretted my decision is. Especially considering we already have a son, I am afraid our son will be a lot of hurt, even though he lived with his grandparents. Although I know they are loved his grandchildren, even beyond the way my love. I tried to self-introspection, that probably I lack patience in educating the ex-wife. And finally, we also intend to reconcile.

He was willing to come with me to the country and the world Z leave work to bring our son. But when the final decision to refer is in sight, as preparations are made to ask her back from her parents and fetch him and our son, he raised an issue that really bothers me and makes me annoyed. She wanted me to sign a letter of agreement on the reconciliation seal, stating that I would love her and our son, and if when he moved in with me and leave his world of work and, when I had finally divorce her again, I asked to be willing to give living at 1/3 my salary, division of property gono gini fair, and our son still has not been able to join her for a vote.

All these agreements fall when he made a mistake. The mistake he specifically mentioned was just an affair, but I never betrayed our marriage, I divorced him the reason was because I was no longer able to be a leader for him. I am facing a dilemma here. One side of me wanted to raise my children and educate my ex-wife again to get closer to God, on the other hand, if I accept the conditions, I was worried I was holding something that was not there needs to be, and God forbid that have been lawful.

Terms 2 and 3 for me no problem. But the first requirement, is not he should not ask such a thing? And also I fear this agreement will only return undermine my position as a husband, so it can not membinanya, and can not do anything if he does go around. Maybe the deal as collateral for her so that I no longer arbitrarily menalaknya again, but my decision not to refer again to menalaknya and affected her and our son. I really hope she can help me find my way out of this problem. Jazakallah,
Regards,

Answer:

Wassalammu'alaikum wr. wb.
Brother Abd Allah the exalted, it seems not easy ya home life father lived. Just three years running has been so many conflicts experienced by almost led to divorce. Educate and nurture our partner is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. So much energy and patience to be prepared if there are many differences that must be adjusted. It seems that more time is needed to make households formed as expected father.

Differences of understanding in addressing the religious life lived sometimes want to be an obstacle to forming a family sakinah. Therefore, the process needed to be addressed by understanding and patience so that our spouse can go along with our footsteps. And the words of the practice is not as easy to take, especially in guiding sensibility of a woman needed a husband to be able to dive into his soul. As the Prophet once said to be careful in directing women because like twigs easily bend, but if it is too hard could break it.

Apparently one of the obstacles in guiding father's wife is still living the same roof with the law, with a break away and go to a country Z is a pretty good move. Since independence would be expected to facilitate the cooperation that exists between father and wife. Moreover, the current wife began more succumb to leave her job and want to come move in with the father. But the trauma of separation seems to have occurred is still being felt by the wife. That he was worried that after he left his job then you can act arbitrarily with mentalaknya just when he had no place to rely other than the father. Although I'm sure you have no intention to mentelantarkannya.

I think the father's wife fears are reasonable only felt by a woman who was worried because he had almost divorced before. And it was the right of women in Islam are legitimate use. I think quite the justice of Islam, as Islam gives the right of the husband to mentalak, then istripun given the opportunity to protect themselves by filing requirement for reconciliation. However, it is the contents of the agreement must not violate Islamic law or the other associated with immorality.

For example on the right 1/3 of salary, if the child custody fell on her mother, then the father is obliged to keep giving money to the ex-wife to be able to properly care for the child father. But the treasure gono-gini may need to be clarified, because in Islam there is no equal division of property after divorce. But the truth is treasure to be the husband and the husband's property right of the wife to wife after they divorced again instead of dividing property after divorce amounts affairs sama.Untuk this requirement seems you really need to consult further with the understanding Islamic cleric.

If you fear that it will complicate the filing requirement in nurturing father, should not be. That is not to say you realize it or use it as a weapon for the right to divorce his wife drive. I think the coaching process thus less appropriate for use threats as a way of maintaining compliance, but it would be much better if the process is done with the awareness that couples voluntarily to change. But everything is going back to the father who will establish and foster family. What is written just broaden that can see a different perspective. I pray may the father of a family participate in the protection of Allah SWT always Wallahu'alambishawab.
Wassalammu'alaikum Wr. Wb.
