Love Products Indonesia

Since being appointed Head of the e-commerce Division of Musi Corporation, the work of Ustadz Hanafi has accumulated. In order to have enough time, Ustadz Hanafi stopped his teaching activities at Pondok Pesantren Al Mansyur.

One of the branches of e-commerce business that much time-consuming Ustadz Hanafi is the Musi Corporation Online Market (POMC). POMC is an online shopping business, with products that meet all the needs of the community.

POMC is one of the largest online shopping companies in Indonesia. Their mainstay products are fresh food ingredients such as vegetables and fruits.

POMC products are partly derived from the business of the Plantation and Agriculture division of Musi Corporation. Due to the production of its own company business, POMC guarantees that the goods they sell are of good quality and still fresh.

The progress of the POMC was also supported by the Indonesian Culture at that time which was very in love with domestically made products. Indonesia's sovereignty over local products can only be rivaled by the Japanese Nation.

Indonesian people are very concerned about using local products, although sometimes they are much more expensive. What's more, the products that POMC sells are known to be of high quality.

Other nations in the world consider the Indonesian people too much to love local products, as a result there are sometimes those who retaliate by prohibiting the marketing and sales of Indonesian products in their countries.

Indonesia's sovereignty over domestic products also makes it difficult for foreign companies to market their products. In order to enter, they usually partner with local companies and products sold also use local brands.

E-Commerce

Ustadz Hanafi is the Head of e-commerce Division. What exactly is meant by e-commerce?

In language, the meaning of e-commerce or electronic commerce is all buying and selling activities carried out through electronic media.

The existence of e-commerce is certainly very related to long-distance communication relationships. Where between the buyer and the seller is not in the same place.

Both sides can be thousands of kilos away, but they can interact with each other. They can bargain with each other, so that an agreement is reached in the transaction.

Related to this long distance communication relationship, Ustadz Hanafi had a discussion with one of the lecturers at Pondok Pesantren Al Mansyur named Ustadz Ahmad.

Ustadz Ahmad among santri hut is known as one of the teachers who are rational minded. The Ustadz background of general education, but very diligent in studying scientific books the discovery of Muslim scholars.

He once stated that long-distance communication links, his story is found in the Qur'an.

To find out the proposition on which Ustadz Ahmad's opinion is based, Ustadz Hanafi once directly asked the question.

"Is it true that there is a story in the Qur'an that tells of long-distance communication?" asked Ustadz Hanafi to try to clarify.

"It does exist, symbolically long-distance communication relationship is narrated in Surah Al A’raaf verse 44" replied Ustadz Ahmad.

"The verse is about the conversation between the inhabitants of heaven and the inhabitants of hell" Ustadz Ahmad added.

Ustadz Ahmad then took the Book of the Qur'an while showing the verse in question to Ustadz Hanafi.

Then Ustadz Ahmad explained the meaning of the story.

"In the past, the muffasir or interpreter of the Qur’an, interpreted that the inhabitants of heaven came to the edge of hell, then spoke to each other with the inhabitants of hell."

"The interpretation is reasonable, given that in the past that was how people communicated" said Ustadz Ahmad.

"But if we review again the interpretation will feel awkward. Residents of Heaven who are on the edge of hell can certainly risk burning, besides hell is very deep will certainly make it more difficult to communicate" said Ustadz Ahmad again.

"However, as technology evolves, in order to communicate, one does not have to meet face to face with the interlocutor."

"With the help of telephone technology someone who is in OSLO, can easily talk to his friend, who is in SOLO" said Ustadz Ahmad at length.

"An interesting explanation" said Ustadz Hanafi while listening to Ustadz Ahmad's explanation.

"Let's now, we imagine, the event of a conversation between the inhabitants of heaven and the inhabitants of hell" said Ustadz Ahmad.

"If the communication technology is man-made, it is so sophisticated, especially if we imagine the technology later in heaven, of course the sophistication is far above it" said Ustadz Ahmad seriously.

Ustadz Hanafi could only take a slow look at the words of Ustadz Ahmad. Although the interpretation is quite bold but there is a point as well.

By 2045, long-distance communication will be highly advanced. In those days, there was a tele-conference conversation using hologram technology.

Long-distance conversations can be done as if facing each other and without being limited to a glass screen. One can pay attention to the gestures of the interlocutor, although both communicate with a distance of thousands of kilo meters.
