The end of the year became one moment that many people have been waiting for. The reason is that holidays occur in parallel at this time, ranging from the Christmas holiday celebrated by Christians to the New Year holiday. Therefore, the end of the year is synonymous with the holiday season, just like when Eid al-Fitr is about to arrive.
Not a few people have planned to spend the end of the year since long ago just for vacation, be it for vacationing in the city, outside the city, or even abroad. The tourist destinations also vary, ranging from shopping centres, playgrounds, culinary centres, historical places, beaches, the sea to mountains.
But preferably, the holiday moment should be used as a mere sightseeing activity and a means to explore nature or interpret His creation. With the tadabbur of nature, we as humans, especially Muslims, God willing, will always remember the power and greatness of Allah Swt, so that the behaviour of immorality will also stop.

What Is Natural Tadabbur?
Natural Tadabbur comes from two words, namely tadabbur and nature. Citing the UIN SATU Tulungagung website, the word tadabbur is termed from Arabic. Tadabbur means to think about, reflect, or notice something behind a thing or phenomenon that occurs.
Tadabbur is a reflection, thinking deeply to take meaning and wisdom from a certain event or phenomenon. With tadabbur, a person can get to know something better, not be easily prejudiced, and be better at being grateful.
Meanwhile, the word nature according to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) is everything that is not man-made in heaven and earth. According to the Islamic view, nature is also functioned to move human emotions and feelings towards the greatness of Allah Swt and awareness of how small humans are before Him.

This is in line with the opinion of Ibn ‘Arabi who said that nature serves as a verse or sign of the greatness of God. That is, nature can be used as a material for optimal contemplation and lessons, so that humans who contemplate nature will get divine wisdom that will bring out the goodness in man.
Thus, natural tadabbur is a learning activity to recognize everything in heaven and earth, as well as to recognize and love Allah Swt further. With nature, humans can get closer to nature and His God, so that we can preserve and preserve nature and live His commands.
If we do nature tadabbur while on vacation in mountains, seas, beaches, forests, and so on, then we will get a lesson of its own. For example, if we vacation to the tourist destinations of Pink Beach or Pink Beach in East Lombok. If we reflect and think while visiting it, we will find that the greatness of God is unmatched.

It is known that the pink sand on the beach comes from the phenomenon of coral reefs and microorganisms called foraminifera. Foraminifera or Foram is a microscopic plankton whose oldest relatives appeared in the oceans almost a billion years ago. Who, then, could have created such a small and numerous animal if not God? Subhanallah..
With nature’s tadabbur while on vacation, we can increase gratitude to Him. In addition, a greater sense of respect for our fellow creatures of God will also appear in us. It’s the same if we climb a mountain to fill the holidays. This activity can make us more familiar with nature, His highest creation on earth, and no one can help us on the mountain except Allah Swt.
