“Book is a good and
loyal friend”
Those are some quotes by Habiburrahman El Shirazy or most of
people call him Kang abik. He is a famous writer in Indonesia. He has created
many fenomenal books as we know,like Ayat-ayat
cinta or Ketika Cinta Bertasbih and many others. It’s not only that, his
book has made a movie, and the movie is fenomenal too. So why he has many fans
from teenagers until adult because he
inspired many people by his book and movie. And I am one of his fans that love
very much his works.
Allhamdulilah, last month (29/04)
I met him at a interesting talk show that created by FLP (Forum Lingkar Pena) Jombang. FLP is a organization for all people
that want to study about writing,practice it, and make a work. FLP wants to
give some spirit to all writers in Jombang by invite kang abik. This talk show
takes a interesting theme that is “make Indonesia more educated by book and movie”.
Allhamdulilah kang abik come and gave many knowladge and inspiration for all of
people followed it.
In this beautiful opportunity, I
listen carefully his explanation about make Indonesia more educated by book and
movie. He explained clearly from indonesia’s problems, literation cultur, until
religion. And I interested about that. He said that people in Indonesia has to
reading to make a good literation cultur, because culture will be progress
fastly with knowladge. We will get that knowladge of course by “reading”. All
of book is usefull, and in every city has library with a complete fasilities
like book,computer until wifi. So what is the problem ? the problem of course
from the reader. Reading level of Indonesia is too low. Soo little people in
Indonesia that like to reading. In this problem, kang abik gave advice to all
of people there to begin reading culture from their self. Try to reading all of
books everyday even 15 minutes only. Do it continually, and we will get the
benefit for our self and others.
Then he explained about the effect
of movie. Movie gives a fast effect in society. Society will do as movie do. Society
will do as like a movie do even it a bad example. So how important the movie to
gives a example. A good movie will gives a good effect, and of course a bad
movie will give a bad effect. So it depen of us, which one we will choose?
In the last talk show, he said as like I said in begining
before that “Book is a good and loyal
friend” so lets make a friendship closer with a book. Book will give us
many advantage.
In the last sesion of this talk show, I don’t want to pass
my opportunity to ask his signature and take picture with him for our spirit.
Finally!! I got it. Allhamdulilah I get his signature and take picture with
him also. Even the picture doesn’t focus
but it has make me happy and spirit. Because the important thing is not the
picture or the signature, it’s only prize. The important thing is I can learn
many knowladge from him and he inspires me more spirit to study and be a good
writer in the future,insyaalloh.
