An interesting sight was seen in the parking lot in front of the MM FEB Unair building, Thursday 15 September 2016. What is usually seen as a luxury car park, turns out to be several trishaws parked. MM FEB Universitas Airlangga once again held an innovative event. As a form of commemoration of MM FEB Unair's 23rd birthday and commemoration of Eid al-Adha, named "Dhahar Sate with Abang Becak" MM FEB Unair hosted dozens of becak drivers for lunch together. Apart from eating together, the activity continued with congregational prayers, reading of the holy Qur'an by one of the Becak drivers and what was interesting was examining the concept of sustenance from the Becak driver's perspective.
As speakers were the pedicab drivers, who conveyed the meaning of sustenance.
In the midst of changing conditions that make their position marginalized. The presence of transportation service applications via the internet means that pedicab transportation services are not the main choice for consumers. The uncertainty of consumers who ride pedicabs every day, as well as the large number of consumers who have the heart not to cheat on free trishaw rides, makes interpreting the concept of sustenance an interesting thing to understand. There are many things that can be learned from pedicab drivers, including;
is that sustenance is not just a matter of wealth, pious children are given health and life and are also part of the sustenance that they are grateful for. They also believe that sustenance is full of miracles, just like the miracle of sustenance from the feet of the Prophet Ismail as, even though his mother Hajar made tireless efforts to seek sustenance. Another thing that emerged was related to spiritual management, namely making work activities a form of worship.
Starting from a simple thing, namely performing ablution before starting work. The various things above made the lunch event with Becak Drivers full of meaning for all participants. And also provide learning effects on spiritual management and informal economy for MM FEB Unair.
