Last Wednesday my wife and i visited our Grandsheikh in Bandung, Jawa Barat. Actually our Grandsheikh preferred to be called Bapak instead of that title as he feels no better than any other people, but we believes that he isn't an ordinary person.
During our stay at Grandsheikh rented house, because he cannot afford to buy a house, we were treated very good by him and his family. When we listened and learned to his tremendous wisdom, we've been supplied with snacks, coffee, tea, light meals and late night supper until we couldn't have any space in our stomachs. It was amazing! Why we said that? Because our Grandsheikh isn't a rich man or a wealthy person. To tell the truth, the economic of our Grandsheikh is below our country standard living average. But he never complain nor grumble with the situation, and it is also applied to his family who never regret the condition of their livings.
A great many things in him that we can take as a lessons in our lives. The way he accepts what Allah Ta'aala wants and likes in him and his family to go through the journey in this world has became a good example for us to follow his attitude. The manners of appreciation of what Allah Rabbul'alamin has given to him and his family inspires us to do the same thing, or to value the life that Allah Almighty has entrusted us by always having a vision that whole matters in this universe are in its excellent conditions.
At that night, our Grandsheikh shared his knowledge to us, and his explanation was simple and very relaxing so we understood what he mentioned easily.
According to our Grandsheikh, there were 2 (two) types of sin in human life; the first is a human sin to Allah 'Azza wa Jalla, and the second is a human sin to another human. The different between those 2 (two) sins was significant, and it was related to the kindness of Allah.
Allah as The Creator will be easily forgive all the sins that we did to Allah, unless those who did an unforgivable sin such as making to have other gods that the one Allah (syirik), claiming that something is equal with Allah and worshipping the thing as a God (musyrik), someone that actually is an unbeliever who pretends to be a Muslim but actually always denied what Allah Ta'aala demand and rejects what The Holy Prophet Muhammad Shallaallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallaam taught (munafik), those who believe that making friend with syaithan will bring more lucks than to obey Allah 'Azza wa Jalla and to follow the purest purified, the only true guide that never ever lied, Rasulullah Muhammad Shallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam.
The other type of sin is between a human with one another, and for this kind of sin the mercy from Allah Rabbul'alamin will be given after the sinner got forgive from the victim (or the family), such as killing the other human being, bad-mouthing or gossiping someone (ghibah), spread the news to ruin someone reputations (fitnah), to commit an adultery other than the spouse or to having sexual relationship with someone else that's not the husband/the wife (zina), and a child that dare to fight and rebel the parents or, in other case, a wife who is being resistant to the husband (durhaka).

Our Sheikh, Aa' Reza & Bapak, our Grandsheikh
Certainly, everything is running and taking places as Allah wants it to be, even the goodness and the badness also comes as Allah wishes. We have to learn and accept everything that Allah 'Azza wa Jalla gives us because it will be the highest level of feeling towards the existence of The Almighty, Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.
