Ma Ta'kulu Mim Ba'di Versus Ma' Ta'budu Mim Ba'di (Apa yang akan kamu makan setelah aku tiada versus Apa yang akan kamu sembah setelah aku tiada) Tulisan ini akan membahas tentang keimanan seseorang khususnya yang beraga Islam. Kedua kalimat diatas saya dapatkan dari ceramah KH Zainuddin MZ. Di dalam ceramahnya dia menyampaikan tentang pentingnya keyakinan kepada Allah. Didalam ceramahnya, dia juga menyampaikan kisah Nabi Ibrahim dengan anaknya Ismail. Ma' Ta'budu Mim Ba'di, kalimat ini yang ditanyakan oleh Nabi Ibrahim kepada anaknya.

Mana yang lebih tepat antara Two times  atau twice ? Jawabannya adalah twice karena twice lebih tepat digunakan dari pada two times berdasarkan pengartian berikut ini: It's good writing advice, but violating it isn't "wrong" it's just less elegant.  Twice  is more used than  two times  as shown in Ngram, but they can be both used according to the context. Replacing " two times " with " twice " is natural and recommended; replacing "three  times " with "thrice" is weird and archaic. cited from:  https://www.google.co.id/search?q=two+times+vs+twice&oq=two+times+vs&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l4.6643j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8  Arti dari twice adalah dua kali dan two times   juga memiliki arti dua kali.
