A Small World Called Jatinegara

Yesterday my mom and I went to Jatinegara market to find souvenirs and ring holder for akad.. After looking in several stores, finally we got the right store to order the souvenirs. The store’s name is Maulana Souvenir.

So, the souvenirs will be a Tissue holder which made from satin, in maroon and cream colors, and it’ll be placed  in a box with mica, and wrapped by a maroon ribbon.  We got Rp 4.000 per each souvenir. and we’ve ordered for 400 pieces. Hmm, I think it’s a great deal. I don’t have the sample picture, but I promise I will post it as soon as I get them.. (They say it will be ready in 2 weeks).

And after paying the Down Payment with a debit card (cool!they got the machine.. Coz I didn’t bring enough money to pay the DP.. ), I was searching on a ring holder (still in the same store). And then I got a heart shaped ring holder with 2 swans and fake roses in it.. They said, the rings will be placed on that swans and we can use the box for mahar. We got it for Rp 35.000. Quite expensive I think.. hehehehe..

Ok, the thingy is DONE! It’s time to eat! Yay, I always wanna eat at this place when I was visiting Jatinegara. It’s SATE PADANG! My mom used to bring me here since I was a little kid. And now I got the chance to take their pictures, hahahaha.. I eat Sate along with Es Campur. Aaaaaah, what a delicious supper.. hahaha..

Mahar = Art on the wall?????

I don’t get the point why people nowadays seem to like to hang their “Mahar” on the wall…

What’s the point?? I thought Mahar is something that entirely belong to the moslem bride, that can be useful for her own needs. Something worthy. It’s like the first “nafkah” from our husband. And I couldn’t see, why on earth, women love to make a creation from the money, and they frame it, and then they hang it on the wall. Isn’t it mubazir?? Isn’t useless??? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

This is the example and believe me, it’s made from M.O.N.E.Y!!!! :

This is what I found about Mahar..

Mahar dan Nilai Nominal

Mahar ini pada hakikatnya dinilai dengan nilai uang, sebab mahar adalah harta, bukan sekedar simbol belaka. Itulah sebabnya seorang dibolehkan menikahi budak bila tidak mampu memberi mahar yang diminta oleh wanita merdeka. Kata ‘tidak mampu’ ini menunjukkan bahwa mahar di masa lalu memang benar-benar harta yang punya nilai nominal tinggi. Bukan semata-mata simbol seperti mushaf Al-Quran atau benda-benda yang secara nominal tidak ada harganya.

Hal seperti ini yang di masa sekarang kurang dipahami dengan cermat oleh kebanyakan wanita muslimah. Padahal mahar itu adalah nafkah awal, sebelum nafkah rutin berikutnya diberikan suami kepada istri. Jadi sangat wajar bila seorang wanita meminta mahar dalam bentuk harta yang punya nilai nominal tertentu. Misalnya uang tunai, emas, tanah, rumah, kendaraan, deposito syariah, saham, kontrakan, perusahaan atau benda berharga lainnya.

Adapun mushaf Al-Quran dan seperangkat alat shalat, tentu saja nilai nominalnya sangat rendah, sebab bisa didapat hanya dengan beberapa puluh ribu rupiah saja. Sangat tidak wajar bila calon suamiyang punya penghasilan menengah, tetapi hanya memberi mahar semurah itu kepada calon istrinya.
