BROMOCORAS
Allah and Muhammad

Ajimukti sips black coffee on his desk. While lighting a cigarette. His shady face was now covered in thick billowing cigarette smoke before his face.

"But not here, Kang. I'm not good if John hears it." Samuel lowered his body a little more, and brought his face closer to Ajimukti. His voice was so bright and hoarse.

"Good, Kang. Just chill. We can talk later. It just so happened that today we had no activities in the pesantren. That's if the sampeyan is also lodang." Ajimukti said Samuel also in a soft voice.

"I can take my time, Kang. Later let Johanes guard the stall is nothing." Samuel said it really does.

Ajimukti just nodded and slightly threw a smile. The restlessness on Manan's face gradually disappeared to see the hospitality Samuel gave that was very different from John.

Before long Ajimukti and the others moved from their seats after finishing their coffee and breakfast. Samuel rushed to them.

"Have, Kang?" Ask to Ajimukti.

"Already, Kang!" Sahut Ajimukti is friendly and throws a little smile.

After handing over the money, Ajimukti and the others passed from the stall. When they met with John in front of the shop. A grin was drawn on John's face. Ajimukti returned that smile by slightly lowering his head.

"Han, I live first huh. Are you okay with keeping your own shop?" Said Samuel while taking off his apron.

"Where are you going?" Ask John to investigate.

"There's a business for a minute." Said Samuel briefly and without waiting for John's comment he immediately followed Ajimukti who had walked away from their stalls.

"It seems Samuel Samuel was serious about Islam, Jik." Manan said when they were some distance from the food stall.

"Yes, Mas. I see him as being sincere." Imbuh Dullah later.

"Yes, I see it too. Yes, let us pray, may Samuel soon find guidance and be our brother." Timpal Ajimukti really mean it.

Manan and Dullah just nodded guaranteeing Ajimukti's words.

Upon their arrival at the end of the market Samuel seemed to run after them. Ajimukti, Manan and Dullah who saw Samuel followed immediately stopped his steps.

"I'm sorry, Kang. I'm talking here on purpose. It's really not good if John knows." Samuel said, Seeming earnest and with a little hunting breath.

"It's okay, Kang. I've understood. However, I also do not want to offend Kang Johanes who seems to have been so unhappy with the pesantren, yes, because of our Kyai speech." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"We'll just sit there, Kang." Invite Samuel then while pointing to one of the wooden benches under the waru tree.

Ajimukti just assented and then walked with Samuel in the others.

"What do you really want to know about Islam, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti when he was sitting on a wooden bench under the waru tree.

Samuel smiled. The expression on his face did not escape the sight of Dullah and Manan who did not know what was the intention behind Samuel's smile.

"Not much, Kang. Just two things." And Samuel then.

Ajimukti frowned, "Two things? Is that Kang?" He asked with a sense of curiosity.

"I just want to know Allah and Muhammad, Kang. That's all it is." Samuel smiled again.

Hearing that, Ajimukti felt a pounding that was so felt in his chest. For him this was a wonderful guidance when a man who had different faiths with him, wanted to know about God and His Messenger.

"Waitwait. I mean, what the hell is this guy, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti to slightly sideline his body.

Samuel sighed, "As he should, Kang. Say the..." Samuel suddenly stopped his words and took a breath, "The truth is, Kang." The connection a few moments later.

For the second time Ajimukti seemed to be smiling, he seemed to know what Samuel meant in his question.

"Look, Kang. I do not want to speak to my context as one who believes in the truth of Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad Shallahu 'alaihi wasalam. But let's talk like a context in a sampeyan belief. How's it?" Say Ajimukti later.

Samuel frowned slightly, it seemed like he was confused by the meaning of Ajimukti's words this time.

"I mean, Kang?" Ask later.

"Look, Kang. Put a demonstration, me and someone who sells the same thing. Well, if I talk about the quality of my goods, of course I will upload my goods dong, rather than the sampeyan goods?" Say Ajimukti later.

Samuel nodded lightly, it seemed like he was beginning to catch Ajimukti's words. Dullah and Manan just kept paying attention.

"Well, what if my position was changed as a business partner selling sampeyan? The conditions will be different, right?" Continue Ajimukti a moment later.

Samuel nodded his head lightly. "I understand, Kang." Said later.

"Sampeyan must have very memorized the contents of Mark the twenty-ninth verse, right, Kang?" Ajimukti's question now slightly turned his face to Samuel.

Samuel nodded, "Yes, Kang. What about sampeyan?"

Ajimukti smiled, "Look, Kang. There it says Shema yisrael adonai eloheinu, adonai ehad, listen to Israel, God is our God, God is one. Is that still a question to ask, Kang? It's obvious, isn't it, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti later.

"And even in the following verse it says, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your intellect, and with all your strength. This is also confirmed again in the fourth chapter of Matthew the tenth verse, Get rid of it, Satan! For it is written, You must worship the Lord your God, and to Him alone you are filial! Well, isn't that clear, Kang? It's been described, as vividly obvious as it?" Ajimukti.

Samuel only silently listened, occasionally he was seen nodding lightly.

"And, in our belief, Kang. Explained in the letter of Al-Ikhlas, Qul huwallaahu Sunday, Say Muhammad! He is Allah, the Most One. Allaahush-shamad, God of the place of asking for something, Lam yalid walam yuulad, Allah, have no children nor be begotten, Walam yakul-lahuu kufuwan Sunday, And there is nothing equal to Him." Ajimukti suppressed his last words.

"Then how, Kang. Emm, about Jesus himself?" Samuel asked a little hesitating to convey it.

Ajimukti smiled, "I don't know much, Kang. And again I'm afraid to offend the sampeyan."

"No, Kang. I asked this time." Samuel really meant the question.

"Do you have to, Kang?" Ajimukti laughs a little to melt the tension of the moment.

"Look, Kang. I just want to quote a little bit of John chapter thirteen verse thirteen in Hebrew." Say Ajimukti later.

"hymeis phoneite me ho didaskalos kai ho kyrios kai kalos legete eimi gar. Is that right, Kang?" Ask Samuel.

Samuel just nodded, "Right, Kang." Samuel confirmed.

"Try translating it into our language, Kang!" Pinta Ajimukti later.

Samuel sighed, "You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say it is right, for I am Teacher and God." Samuel said, Translate.

Ajimukti smiled, "That's it, Kang. A testimony of divinity in a sampeyan belief?" Ask later.

Samuel nodded, "Right, Kang. We believe Jesus is God as that verse is." Samuel then.

Ajimukti smiled, "Sorry, Kang. Not that I meant to argue. But that's just a translation that I think is far from the truth. Sorry again, Kang. But, Kyrios that doesn't actually mean Sir. Master is not God. Even in the Arabic Bible it is clear, antum tad'uunanii mu'allaman wa sayyidan wa hasanan taquuluunal-annii anaa kadzalik. In Arabic, it is written Sayyid, which means master. Again, sir, not God.

Samuel nodded, not knowing what he had in mind at this moment. Dullah and Manan had not changed their eyes from Ajimukti.

"Alright, Kang. I can understand a lot from that explanation. What about Muhammad, Kang?" Ask Samuel then.

Ajimukti sighed, "Sorry, Kang. Let me quote a little in John chapter fourteen verse six, 'anokhi haderekh Veha'emet vehakhayim. I am the opening path for, Veh-ahmet, Ahmad, Muhammad the truth, Veh-khayim, and life." Say Ajimukti and then smile.

"Maybe that can't be corroborated yet, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti later.

Samuel just smiled and nodded slightly.

"Emmm, but isn't that what I want to ask you, Kang?" Ajimukti's words focus on Samuel.

Samuel frowned, "Then what, Kang?" Her question was full of astonishment.

"Look, Kang. Is the Prophecy of Prophet Muhammad Shalallahu 'alaihi wasalam in the Bible? Well, that's what I wanted to ask the sampeyan." Ajimukti continued.

Samuel frowned again and glared a little.

"Come, Kang. For now frankly I can't explain." Samuel's words seemed a little confused this time.

Ajimukti smiled then, "Look, Kang. Try to remember in the fifth chapter of the tenth chapter of the great song!" Say Ajimukti later.

Samuel just nodded, "Yes, Kang. I know that."

"There it is written, Dodi tsakh ve'adom dagul mer'vavah, his skin was a pure white reddish, striking among a dozen or ten thousand people. Well, this in our belief is also reinforced with some hadith, Kang. According to the Prophet Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, Ali bin Abu Talib, the characteristic features of the Prophet Muhammad are mentioned, His body is not too fat, his face is round, white and red, this is found in the hadith of the tirmidhi in Sunan and Shama'ilnya. While according to Anas bin Malik, the characteristics of the Prophet, his face was brightly glowing, his body was not too white and not too red, this is as described in the hadith of Bukhari Muslim and Tirmidhi, Kang. Well, it is explained when entering the city of Mecca in the year six hundred and thirty AD, which is then known as the event of the Fatu of Mecca, when the Prophet accompanied ten thousand devout followers." Ajimukti said a little.

"In the meantime, in other literature it is also said, Abu Sufyan shouted to gather people, O people of Quraysh, Muhammad has been here with a power that you cannot oppose. Muhammad was with ten thousand steel troops, Abu Sufyan said at the time." Ajimukti sighed, "Well, from there we can take the outline, right, Kang? That what is meant in the Song of Songs of the fifth chapter of the tenth verse should be certain, he is Muhammad Shallahu 'alaihi wasalam." Ajimukti.

Samuel once again just nodded. "At least I understand a little, Kang. Although not entirely." Said later.

Ajimukti then smiled, "This is also corroborated by the sixteenth chapter, Kang. khiko mam'taqim vekhulo makhamadim zeh dodi vezeh re'i benot youerousalaim. His words are sweet, he, Muhammad, is very popular. Thus is My beloved, thus My friend, O Daughter of Jerusalem. Isn't that right, Kang?" Ask Ajimukti at the end of his speech.

Samuel again nodded, "Yes, Kang. I am not very good at speaking Hebrew. But the sampeyan just seems more capable." Samuel said a little.

"Not really, Kang. I know a little." Ajimukti said humbly then slightly curled his lips.

"I'll continue, Kang?" Say Ajimukti afterwards.

Samuel just nodded then refocused his attention on Ajimukti.

"In the original Hebrew text, the word makhamadim translates to, 'really very popular', which is basically the word Mukhamad with the addition of 'im'. Well, in Hebrew this 'im' is used to say plural right, Kang? Emmmm, As Ellohim later translated into God-God as in the Old Testament which is basically the word Elloha which means God. Then, Kang. If it is not distorted repeatedly, then the Song of Songs five verses sixteen should sound like this, The words are sweet simply, HE IS MUHAMMAD, So is My beloved, so is My friend, o sons of Jerusalem." Ajimukti breathed.

"Oh yes, Kang. For the record, that the word Makhamadim or Mukhammad is the name of a person, which actually cannot be translated into any language whatsoever, because he is the name of a given person directly from God, namely God." Clearly Ajimukti later.

Samuel nodded again. "Thank you, Kang. I know a little bit. Yes, as I said, although not entirely. Emmm, maybe next time I should take some more time to talk to someone else, Kang." Samuel said with a smile.

"God willing, Kang. Whenever you want to talk, I'll try to take my time." Sahut Ajimukti then glanced at his watch. "Oh yes, Kang. Is there anything else to ask. You already want Dzuhur, we have to go back to the pesantren." Said later.

"Already, Kang. Today just like this. Thanks again, Kang. Sampeyan had taken his time to chat. And sorry for the trouble." Samuel said sincerely.

"No, what what what, Kang. It is precisely I who apologize that my words and what I say may be someone who offends the sideyan." Reply Ajimukti while getting up from his seat in the follow Dullah and Manan who also stood up.

"No, Kang. Nothing at all offends. I'm happy with our conversation today." Samuel closed his words with a faint smile on his face.

"Yes, Kang. Please if you want to go back to the pesantren. I also want to go back to the shop. Once again, thank you, Kang." Imbuh Samuel once again expressed his gratitude with a slight bow of his head.

"The same, Kang." Sahut Ajimukti with a little smile.

"Well, I'm back at the stall, Kang. Let's all me go first. Assalamu'alaikum..." Samuel said and then went back to his stall.

"Hmmm, 'alaikumsalam..." Sahut Ajimukti later.

Dullah and Manan only frowned.

"Jik, Jik! How do you know the Bible? Salute me, Jik." Manan said when Samuel had passed and they walked back to Hidayah.

"Yes, Mas. I also just found out a little bit about the Bible." Dullah.

"Already, let's go back, obrolin in the cottage. Dzuhur furuhur seclusion." Sahut Ajimukti then continued walking.

Dullah and Manan just throw one another look and the same as raise his shoulders, then rush after Ajimukti who has walked ahead of them.

Seriate...
