Who is Mohammed?

Mohammed is the founder of the religion of Islam and is regarded by Moslems as a messenger and prophet of God? (Allah). Born in 570 in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at a young age and brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Thalib. He later worked mostly as a merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Even though Mohammad was very famous, there is no official picture of him. This is caused by the prohibition in making Mohammad’s picture in their belief. So, people can only know his personality and his story by literature.

However, there are always some people who have some tricky minds. For instance, there was a comic maker who made a caricature of Muhammad. I can’t tell whether what the comic maker have done is wrong or right. But for sure, it will be considered as a wrongdoing in Moslems view.

What happened in Indonesia in recent days was a similar story of it. It mentioned that some one had made a pin with Muhammad’s picture on it. The story of the pin maker is being a head line in some newspapers and TV news in Indonesia.

In my opinion, the picture of Muhammad is the most unique picture since it was prohibited to paint it or to print it. To respect Islam belief, it was so wise if we let the picture of Muhammad being a unique picture by leaving it unpainted, unprinted and unpublished.

If you have ever visit Indonesia, you’ll find that Indonesia has so many unique things; its cultures, its foods, its clothes, its tourism object, etc. But if somebody asked me my opinion about what was the most unique thing from Indonesia, I will answer: the most unique thing from Indonesia is its language.

Few years ago, when I was finishing my bachelor’s degree, a friend of mine was doing a research about English vocabulary enrichment. He found that (if I am not wrong) English vocabulary reach its most enrichment period on renaissance. Nowadays, (without any formal research) I find that Indonesian language has more vocabulary enrichment. And this enrichment is always in progress, unbounded by time.

Every year, there are always some new vocabularies found in Indonesian language. It usually came from foreign language as a loan word, or it came from colloquial slang language which was used by teenagers.  The new words sometimes have a very bias meaning. In a matter of fact, it sometimes clashes the real meaning of it word. For instance: SECARA.

Polisi melumpuhkan teroris secara paksa.
(Police officers disarmed the terrorist in a hard way) secara = in a manner of ..

Gue ngga datang secara gue ngga diudnang
(I didn’t come because I am not invited) secara = because

Besides what I wrote above, there are still so many Indonesian words (article) that hard to be understood such as: sih, dong, loh, kok, etc. check it out on this link: http://www.kejut.com/partikelindo

Some bloggers use AdSense to make money. AdSense is a fast and easy way for blogger to display relevant ads on their blog’s content pages and earn money. AdSense can deliver advertising revenue to small blogs that do not have the resources for developing advertising sales programs and sales people. Blogs that are well-updated-content might be successful with this advertising program, as noted in a number of publisher case studies on the AdSense blog.

Adsense can be customized to show only some ads that are related to what your site is about. You are then paid based on the number of click on the ads to check them out. And the major reason why people very interested in Adsense is because adsense is free.

Another advertisement types are affiliate programme, referral link, thread marketing, etc.

Nowadays, information is being a valuable thing. If you have some unique and limited important information, and many people willing to know it, you can maintain the information you have to be a valuable and marketable thing. With some strategy, you can sell information in a good price.

To be more attractive, just publish half or a bit of your writing, and then you can set a price for someone who wants to see your complete work. You can also sell your service; take some job order to make some writings.
