  Nah gimana ceritanya kaum muslimin bisa bertahan ribuan tahun, memperdebatkan semua hal, dalam aspek kehidupan?  "Kaum Muslimin" itu karakteristiknya gitu... (terlalu "sibuk" dengan perdebatan saja ?).  Makanya,  bagaimana caranya menegakkan islam? bagaimana islam menjadi kaffah? dan sebagainya,  mereka itu gak kepikiran itu.  Termasuk tentang ayat musik, Coba aja perdebatkan mereka sampai apa... tapi tetep aja yang main musik ya main musik, yang enggak tetep enggak, semacam itu... Nah yang lebih cacat logikanya lagi, menurut saya bahwa perdebatan2 itu tidak selesai gara2 apa? gara2 perdebatan itu " dilarang pakai logika ."  Kan seperti ini, misalnya "Udah, logika itu terbatas" "Sudah jangan mikirin agama pakai logika,"   apa dan sebagainya Memangnya kalian bisa kepikiran? berdebat tapi gak pakai logika? Kan gak mungkin...  Tetapi yang diharapkan adalah yang seperti itu ( "jangan pakai logika.....") Makanya kacau lagi itu....

Norton has a Crime and Punishment as well but has decided that they don't want to use their old translation anymore. This one was done in 1950 something I think, I don't remember. And they have commissioned me to translate a new Crime and Punishment. I brought along two-page excerpt from that new translation as I said,  I'm about a quarter of the way through it and this is actually my favorite scene in the whole novel. And I'll share it with you in my translation in a minute first I wanted to make a point about the original title of the novel  Does anybody know what it was? or has anybody encountered it in any sort of reading?  "Crime and Suffering, I thought somebody was just gonna say suffering and more suffering." Anybody else?  Before Crime and Punishment there was another title. Let's do this, if you were gonna give this book a title other than Crime and Punishment, what would you call?   Let's just see out of.....I've never done this never a...

  Maushul itu ada dua, yaitu: Maushul yang berbentuk isim (isim maushul) Maushul yang berbentuk huruf (huruf mashdariyah) Ketika dikatakan isim maushul (kata sambung untuk isim), itu sebagai bentuk pengecualian dari huruf maushul (kata sambung berupa huruf).  Ya, huruf maushul seperti "أن" berfungsi untuk menashabkan (membuat manshub) Fi’il Mudhari’ (Kata Kerja Sekarang) dan Penakwilannya sebagai Mashdar: Mari kita lihat contohnya "Dan bahwa kalian berpuasa itu lebih baik bagi kalian." Kata "أن" adalah huruf yang menashabkan dan sekaligus menakwilkan fi’il menjadi mashdar (kata benda verbal). "تصوموا" adalah fi’il mudhari’ yang dinashabkan oleh "أن". Tanda nasab-nya adalah dihapusnya huruf nun karena termasuk dalam al-af’al al-khamsah (lima bentuk kata kerja khusus). "و" (wau jamaah) adalah dhamir dhahir (kata ganti yang tampak), menyatu (muttaṣil), dibangun di atas sukun, dan berkedudukan sebagai fa’il (subjek). Huruf alif di...

  Sekarang kita akan kita lanjutkan penjelasan tentang asma-ul maushul (kata penghubung). Syaikh Ibnu Malik berkata di dalam alfiyah pada bab isim maushul.  موصول الاسماء الذي الانثى التي  -  واليا إذا ما ثنّيا لا تثبت Adapun Isim Maushul, yaitu الَّذِي (jenis laki) dan untuk jenis perempuan yaitu الَّتِي. Jika keduanya di tatsniyahkan (dual), maka huruf Ya’nya dibuang… Maushul itu ada dua, yaitu: Maushul yang berbentuk isim (isim maushul) Maushul yang berbentuk huruf (huruf mashdariyah) Apa itu "isim maushul" (kata sambung) ? dan mengapa disebut demikian? Perhatikan firman Allah Azza wa Jalla: قد سمع الله قول التي تجادلك في زوجها وتشتكي إلى الله  "Sungguh, Allah telah mendengar ucapan perempuan yang membantahmu tentang suaminya dan mengadukan perkaranya kepada Allah." (Al-Mujadilah: 1). Di dalam ayat ini, terdapat kata "التي" (allati), yang merupakan isim maushul untuk bentuk tunggal perempuan. Jika kamu berhenti pada kata "التي" saja tanpa mel...

Just out of curiosity, whether any of you come up with the tittle, that the first had before he changed it to Crime and Punishment. So what would you call this book? "Crime and crossing over"  "Crime and crossing over because of the transgressions" Okay,  anybody just let your imaginations run wild. "Crime and suffering"  "Crime and suffering, I thought somebody was just gonna say suffering and more suffering"  Anybody else?  "The Superman"  "The Superman or the extraordinary man,  Superman was Nietzsche term later but that's a good thought."  Anybody else?  "Crime and Penance"  "Crime and Penance that's a good one, because I have another cartoon in my Dostoevsky folder and it shows Dostoevsky talking to his editor and on the editor's desk there's a huge stack of paper which is clearly Dostoevsky manuscript and the editor is saying to stvi it's good but it's too long you have to cut it by...

  I can start with a joke, but it isn't one of the Jewish jokes, it's a Russian Joke but it's a very good joke.  So there's this large canvas with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden . And there are three people standing in front of the canvas an Englishman Frenchman and a Russian. And they're looking at the canvas they're looking at the painting and they're trying to decide to which nationality Adam and Eve belong.  The Englishman " looks at the painting and he says I say they're so demure they're so reserved obviously they're English "  The Frenchman says " look at these people, they are beautiful, they are naked, they are french.." The Russian shakes his head  "comrades you are both wrong, look closely at details in this painting. These people have no clothes, these people have no where to live, these people have only one apple to share between them for food, and these people are being told they live in Paradise. These ...

  I once had a law professor that offered to make the joke. That the entire reason why you go to law school is just so you can learn a handful of fancy Latin phrases to impress people at dinner parties. Whether you're making small talk with a stranger at a bar, whether you're at a dinner party, it's pretty common to ask people "What do you do?" and talk about your profession. And when people find out that I'm a lawyer, it's pretty common that people want to ask me about their legal problems something they've had before, something they think is around the corner, or better yet, their cousin's aunt's sister halfway across the country is in this mess.  What can they do?  And odds are, you know, for lawyers that face this type of situation, it might be that they ask you a very specific question about the type of work you do,  and maybe you can help them a little,  maybe you can point them in the right direction. But if you think about it, odds are,...
