Competing Love With Ustadz
The Importance of Shame

Mr. Kiai immediately threw Faza's hand violently until Faza almost fell down. But Ummi who just happened to come out from the inside quickly held the body of the princess.

"Where is your shame as a Muslim?

God made shame his crown of glory.

Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam,

لِكُلِّ لُقًا لُقَ الإسْلاَمِ الحَيَاء

“Verily every religion has the morality and morals of Islam that is shame.” (CHR. Ibn Majah. 4181. Shaykh Al Albani says that this hadith is hasan)

The word of the apostle Shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam,

الحَيَاءُ الإيمَانُ ا ا ا الآخَر

“The shame and faith go hand in hand together, if one of them is lifted then the other will be lifted.” (CHR. Al Hakim in his Mustadroknya 1/73. Al Hakim said according to Bukhari Muslim requirements, as well as Adz Dzahabi)

So clearly the Prophet shalallahu 'alaihi wassalam gave an example to us, That shame is the identity of the Islamic akhlaq. Even shame cannot be separated from faith and vice versa. For a Muslim, shame is the crown of glory. The shame he has on him is what makes him praiseworthy and glorified.

But what are you doing Faza! You ignored it all just to indulge the lust that you thought was love!"

Faza could only cry on the floor. While Ummi continues to try to calm his daughter, Ummi himself does not know what to do.

"Women who are supposed to be the jewel of the world with their virtue, become no longer meaningful because of their own behavior so that in this age women are only used as objects of pleasure lust of men! Is that what you want Faza?!"

"No Abi, I'm sorry Faza, Faza couldn't control himself once he saw Zayn leave."

"Faza, what Abi did was only for your good, For the good of your afterlife, Trust Abi."

Hearing Abi begin to soften her voice Faza felt a little calm and nodded his head.

"Now go forth and ask forgiveness from Allah."

Faza nodded and moved from his seat. But before going inside, Faza turned his head back to Abi who was now staring at the screen of his phone.

"Abi, can Faza ask Abi one thing?"

"Yes." Yeah." Abi only answered briefly by continuing to stare at the screen of his phone.

"Where did Abi send Zayn away?"

Abi immediately raised his face and turned his head towards Faza.

Faza immediately lowered his head and no longer dared to ask.

Ummi nodded his head at Faza and asked him to go inside. But just as Faza turned his body, Faza turned his head towards Abi who answered his question.

Pain saw the departure of Zayn, not yet how much in appeal the pain must forget it. However Faza no longer wanted to refute Abinya, With a bitter smile Faza nodded and went inside.

Abi took a deep breath and contacted someone through his cell phone.

Zayn had to pass through several kilometers of hills with a road that continues to climb before finally before the magrib he arrived at a small house that blends with clove plantations. While the left right of the house surrounded by salak trees to make the atmosphere around feel a little make the fur to stand up.

"Zayn Athallah Faraz Shaikh?" said one of the men in white with white Koko and a plaid holster out of the house.

"Yes." Yeah." Zayn looked at the white man who was around 35 and looked so handsome.

"Include me, I'm Saifullah, for tonight you can sleep here tomorrow and I'll show you what your activities are during your stay here."

"Good Tadz."

Zayn followed Ustadz Saifullah into the brick-woven house, while the floor was still as red as the one in front of his house.

Zayn again had to take a deep breath when he saw there was only a bamboo amben with a mat without a mattress or pillow.

"Please pray after that rest."

"Where's Tadz's bathroom next door?"

"In this house there is no bathroom, the bathroom is in the mosque next to this house. But for the toilet, there's nothing."

"Well! There's no toilet?"

Ustadz Saifullah shook his head.

"Then what if we want to shirk Tadz?"

"Residents here used to do it in their respective gardens after that purify themselves at home."

"Bragh!" Zayn holds the weight of his head. He never thought he would have such a hard time.

"This is nothing compared to what you will face while here, Good luck Zayn!" Ustadz Saifullah patted Zayn's arm and left.

Zayn stared at his disappearance. Then remember what Bimo said and what Pak Kiai said before he left.

"What if Mr. Kiai really married Ning Faza and Ustadz Adnan? Wouldn't my misery here be in vain?" inner Zayn who became doubtful.
