"If Allah has willed you to marry Meidina Shafa, it means that Allah has measured everything. There is nothing more and nothing less. All you have to do now is study hard, son. Be sincere in what God has given. Then strengthen your intention for worship. Then Allah guarantees you the sufficiency."
Thus the explanation of shaykhona, and then he was silent to give his son time to observe what he had said just now. Until then,
"I'm sorry, Aba, I've been suudzon to God and his decision" said Arafka with his head bowed and a strong sense of guilt embraced his soul. It didn't take long for the handsome young man to be able to find the truth in the depths of his heart. Because the door of hidayah has indeed been opened, from the prostration of shaykhona for the son.
Kyai Abdullah Umar patted the handsome young man on the shoulder fondly. "Now I want to ask you, son, are you willing to get married, to be a husband and to be a part of Meidina Shafa, sincerely because of God alone?" Question from shaykhona. It turned out that before he asked Meidina Shafa, he first asked his own son, Irfan Arafka Wafdan.
"i'm ready, Aba." Thus replied Rafka steadily and without any doubt in it. "And isa Allah I am sincere because of Allah" he added, asking Allah for strength to be given the ability to account for what has been his decision.
"Strictly up with your decision with all your heart, Son, be wise, and never waver, never let your guard down, to continue on the path that He has desired. God is your helper."
By getting extraordinary prayers and support from both parents, Arafka also got an incredible steadiness to live it all. It is lost in self-confidence, when the heart has chosen to surrender and rely on divine power. And having seen that his son had gained confidence and steadiness,
"Aba then took me to the Al hasyimi mosque, to ..." Arafka immediately slashed the story, because there was the sound of sobs Meidina Shafa. who from the beginning was only silent with tears without a sound, but now his shoulders were shaken because they held back crying, but now he could see his shoulders shaken, and the sound of his sobbing was heard out.Must be a tremendous cry that occurred due to the tremendous shock in his soul, too, after hearing about his engagement to Arafka from the story of the handsome young man himself.
And actually not only Meidina Shafa who cried when she heard everything, even all the girls who were there also shed tears. Very felt, very visible and very clear, how Irfan Arafka Wafdan actually, in view of them all. It is no longer the thoughts let alone the passions that became the basis of his decisions and attitude, agreeing to marry. But because he wants to obey the will of God, he wants to obey his rules, which is the purpose of everything is because he wants to be His sholih and fearless servant. And in carrying out all these things, the heart is the leader.
Even though he should have the right to refuse his brother's decision to get married immediately. He is still young, he deserves to enjoy his youth. But the young man immediately agreed, knowing that it was God's guidance to him.
And actually he also has the right to choose his own prospective life companion in accordance with his standardization, because he belongs to someone with a very established life, his face is handsome, his wealth is not just a matter of billions, but also a lot of money, nasabnya noble, he is a descendant of scholars who are famous for their piety. his religion is strong even though it is still freshly minted, but true said Azmi earlier, once awakened he remains awake, alert, and upright to carry out his religious orders.
Arafka had many privileges at a young age, but he did not necessarily obey his logic.The young man chose to accept the woman inspired by God through his brother, because he wants to obey the will of God. Of course what was expected was kindness on the side of God, not anything else.It was appropriate that this afternoon Meidina said to her, "Don't be too kind to me. I'm afraid I can't get back at it."
And he calmly replied, "let God repay him."
because it turns out from the beginning, only God is the foundation in every decision. So that nothing can disturb his soul. When the soul has been willing with all the will of its god.
So how Meidina will not cry with the truth that is now revealed about Arafka, the future husband who he had rejected his presence, because it is considered not the right candidate for the priest. As it turns out, many things about the young man are beyond his reach, especially about their engagement, which is not solely based on taste, love and thought. Moreover, it is due to the intention of obedience to his khaliq.it is not wrong to mention that Arafka binds himself with Meidina Shafa based on his pledge to god. Then what about the girl herself when rejecting Arafka, what is the basis of his attitude, because of God, or because of the ego of feeling alone.
Meidina Shafa herself knew better, and who was more able to answer that question, where now she seemed unable to resist the sobbing due to a very strong cry. Everyone stared at the girl in silence and various kinds of thoughts. Kanza Davina approached her best friend and hugged her while rubbing her shoulders. However, Meidina's cries did not subside.
Irfan Arafka Wafdan finally rose from his seat and immediately approached where when he saw his future wife was unable to neutralize his own feelings to get out of the increasingly tawling cry. The young man sat on the edge of the bed in front of Meidina, his language flowing softly, as soft as his gaze on the girl. "Did I tell you this, make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Then why are you crying?"
Meidina looked up at Arafka's face for a moment, then looked back down and said, "It's okay." But it is clear that he is not honest. There was a big thing that was shaking his soul, and it was clearly seen by his ssmuanya, but, if now he said it was okay, it was okay, surely because at this time the ayu girl has not been able or unable to tell a story.
Arafka smiled gently at him as she said, "yes already, I won't tell you anything anymore."
Meidina Shafa was stunned to hear it and immediately asked, "Is there still something I should know?"
"Yes. There is still one thing you should know" said Arafka.
"But I won't tell you here in front of friends if you're not ready" he continued.
"It's okay, just tell me. All the friends who are here already know how I am," Meidina said in a definite tone.
"So it's okay?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"But promise not to cry again?"
"God willing," Meidina replied with a bow.
Arafka momentarily still looked at him and, "May I wipe away her tears?"
Meidina did not answer, she just looked down. And the girl let it go when the tip of Arafka's fingers rubbed the water dot on her face. Once again the handsome young man showed his earnestness to live life together with Meidina. And indeed from the beginning, the young man had shown sincerity, from the moment he decided Meidina to be hospitalized.
Even after the Maghrib prayer, Ustad Widad and ustadz Fadil had questioned it, because they knew that there was another man in Meidina's heart. Arafka showed her responsibility as a husband-to-be to the girl. And the young man answered him calmly, that everything beyond his reach had been handed over to the Ruler of the Body.
The surrender referred to here is not just silent. Whatever happens later, shut up. That's not what it was meant to be. But, the word surrender exists, after starting with effort and prayer, only then surrender. Because after we try and pray, the next part is the performance of God alone, whether the effort and prayer will be affirmed, or not. More or less, surrender like that is what Arafka meant. It is not the word surrender whose connotation leads to the word whatever, which approaches despair.
And after seeing Meidina looking calm and no longer crying, the young man sat back in his place to continue the story. Because what he was going to tell next was the point point, which Meidina Shafa had to know.
