NU Garis Lucu: Funny Line of Interaction

NU stands for Nahdlatul Ulama, a big, moderate, Islamic social organization in Indonesia.

Garis Lucu = Funny Line.

@NUgarislucu on Twitter is an account by a Nahdlatul Ulama member which has amazingly multiple effects, i.e. attracting many other people to initiate another funny line account based on anything.

Organization name, such as Muhammadiyin Garis Lucu, FPI Garis Lucu;

Religion name such as Katolik Garis Lucu, Konghucu Garis Lucu;

School name: Gontor Garis Lucu; etc etc.

So many funny lines so far have been born on Twitter and promoting the same value: humor, fun, easy going and last but not least: tolerance.

Everything will be easier under the atmosphere of humor, the sincere one certainly. Everyone laughs, no one got offended.

Such atmosphere is good to resist the tendency of conflict, quarrel, intolerance on socmeds which might continue to real world.

Indonesia is not so perfect in tolerance matters.

Let’s check out two usernames’ tweets below:

Background: Deddy Corbuzier converted from Catholic (Katolik) to Muslim some time ago.

In these tweets Katolik Garis Lucu says:

“Today I let @corbuzier move to @NUgarislucu and please get him to circumcision, and guide him.”

NU Garis Lucu replies:

“Okay, commander, we will preserve your good teachings in him.”

Anchorage to Helsinski Flight, Why Not Taking Shortcut by Going Northwards?? >> Indication of South Polar Centered Flat Earth

Anchorage:

61.2181° N, 149.9003° W

Seattle:

47.6062° N, 122.3321° W

Amsterdam:

52.3676° N, 4.9041° E

Helsinski:

60.1699° N, 24.9384° E

Why from Anchorage (61 ° N) firstly going Seattle (47° N) with lower latitude AKA going south? Why not going north for more efficient flight based on globe map instead? (if it existed)

PS:

So sorry, for Seattle to Amsterdam, the path sould have been curved

Prophet Muhammad (shas) is The Hero for “Crazy People”

Two men: Habib Sehan & Habib Abu Bakar are among those whom are called “saint majdub” (saint madzdub/jadab/dzadab). They are highly respected even more than regular religious mollah/teachers/preachers.

The idea of “majdub”: they so love the Lord and then Lord pulls them to Him, and be into the current state. The mind is “removed”, the love keeps staying.

“The mind is removed?” Many people believe saint majdub’s minds have upgraded into the next level that regular people cannot comprehend.

The root of why certain people / educated Muslims don’t call the majdub as “crazy people” is because of Prophet Muhammad’s teachings.

One day the Prophet’s companions were to go to Yemen (from Medina), they were given message by the Prophet to send his regards to Uwais Al Qarni (he never met the Prophet till his death) whose surrounding people thought he was just a “crazy guy”.

Among Uwais’ peculiar behaviours is: carry a goat on his back while going up to the peak of the hill. What was on his mind? After asked why, he said: he was in rehearsal for he had a goal to go pilgrim with his mother and carry his mother on his back.

And by the blessing of Prophet Muhammad’s words of grace on “crazy people”, Uwais became an honorable figure AKA “Saint” before Muslims’ eyes back then till nowadays. And all people with similarity as Uwais are respected by Muslims.

They are definitely not criminal, only “different” from regular people. They have “clean” history: as pious person, intelligent, caring, loving, blessing to their surrounding and other specialities.

When they were undergoing “instable state of mind” and then becoming a completely new, different characters (completely quiet, strange, wearing new cloths etc.), people keep on respecting them, even more intense.

Saint Majdubs are different from “crazy people” on streets (no offense on them, I personally don’t even dare to call them “crazy”). That’s because saint majdubs have noble track records. They also have “karomah” (=kinda miracle among prophets).

“Saints” and “karomah” is one package with countless folklores. Miracle happens all the time. For prophets, for non prophets.

Okay, Elias Pinet is better than Alip Ba Ta :D

Elias is a real professional guitarist with highly advance formal musical education. While Alip Ba Ta is an autodidact. His fingers look a bit tilted. They should be more ‘vertical’. That is what I learnt (although it might not be an absolute requirement) when I took a guitar course years and years ago. 😀

Alip Ba Ta only needs more FOCUS to improve his funger’s punctuality to back up the unique sound of his guitar playing.

Yes, Alip is still an employee while composing and playing guitar in his spare time.
