MOTTO

BISMILLAHIRRAHMAANIRRAHIEM

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

(QS. Al Fatihah: 1)

Maka sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan. Sesungguhnya

bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan. (Q.S. Insyirah: 5 & 6)

“Wahai anakku! Dunia ini bagaikan samudra tempat banyak ciptaan-

ciptaan-Nya yang tenggelam. Maka jelajahilah dunia ini dengan menyebut

nama Allah. Jadikan ketakutanmu pada Allah sebagai kapal-kapal yang

menyelamatkanmu. Kembangkanlah keimanan sebagai layarmu, logika

sebagai pendayung kapalmu, ilmu pengetahuan sebagai nahkoda

perjalananmu, dan kesabaran sebagai jangkar dalam setiap badai cobaan”

(Ali bin Abi Thalib ra.)

“Jagalah sholatmu Nak! Karena selama kamu punya Allah, maka kamu

tidak akan kekurangan apapun.” (Bapak)
