Eps 236 - Want to Be Ustadz
Firda's return to the village was welcomed by their families with thanksgiving because as long as Firda was in Jakarta, no day they passed without anxiety about the safety of Firda and her son. But they were very grateful because Firda and the others came back safely.
While in prison, Edward and a gang leader at the prison were planning something big.
With the help of a cook who has worked with the criminals, they will soon execute the plan they have been putting together for several days.
Currently, they are in the toilet while the clock shows at 3 am.
"You sure everything's safe? Remember, we're being watched every second" Edwards said. Because if he is caught trying to do himself, then he will definitely be shot dead.
"Just relax, I've arranged everything" said the man "This, at least with this we won't be in much pain" the man handed Edward three packs of white powder and Edward immediately sucked him, even bleeding his nose. He is also in the pecking of drugs whose end makes him stoned.
"You don't worry, I'll make sure you get to your destination. Our chef can count on, he can get you from here safely and no one will be suspicious. Because the bomb will still be detected in this place.
After that, Edwards lay on the toilet floor, Edward's mouth was clothed with his shirt, right Edwards who was placed in the bomb was hooked to the closet. And the man took out the butcher knife he got from the cook he was working with. Edward was very stoned, his mind was gone, faint faint he saw the light in front of his eyes that made his glare and he immediately closed his eyes, and at that time...
"EEGGGHHH.." Edward's screams muffled the cloth that had gagged his mouth when the man cut off Edward's right leg. Blood immediately poured out and the leg fell into the closet.
Then entered a man where the man also had no legs, the legs he used were the legs of a partner. The two men immediately took out the bomb bracelet on Edwards' leg and removed the man's prosthetic leg and put it together. Meanwhile, he was still half conscious, because of the drugs he consumed and also because of what he had decided. That's cutting off his leg.

Firda who had been home for a long time now decided to take part in the lectures held every week and Gabriel also joined after Firda invited him.
And now, they are in a brief assembly where a very young Ustadz explains the interpretation of Surat Ad-duha and Al Insirah. Two letters that have so beautiful meaning and the promise of God that will certainly be kept. Gabriel listened carefully to Ustadz's account of what else he had when he explained the difficulties. Somehow Gabriel felt the two letters as if talking to him, with his circumstances were always in trouble because of his identity first.
"When Moses was about to preach to Pharaoh, Moses prayed, Robbish rohli shodri, O Rabbi, spread my heart. But, we Muhammad's people are different. Before the trouble came, Allah said, Alam nasyrah laka sadrak. Didn't I stretch your chest? So, if there is a problem, do not complain first, do not despair first. Calm your heart, your mind, for God also says"
"Fainna ma'al usri. So indeed, along with the difficulty there is ease. Inna ma'al usri yusro, actually with difficulty there is ease. So, when Allah sends you down the problem, Allah sends down with it the solution, the ease"
Gabriel was silent and recalled with one problem that made him so upset, namely the problem created by Maddison that made him forced to bring Firda to the hotel room. Where for her it becomes a big problem what else for the Firda family. But who would have thought, it turns out the Word of God is right, Firda himself is present as his lantern. When Gabriel feels he is getting into trouble when he loses Firda, but it turns out that along with it, one of his enemies has turned into his comrade.
..........
Upon his return from the assembly, Gabriel seemed silent and it caught the attention of his wife.
"Why the hell, Bang? Since from his studies a lot of silence"
"Honey, so Ustadz is delicious. I want to be Ustadz as well" Gabriel said later, leaving Firda stunned.
"What's the matter, Bang? Because you got sungkeman?" Gabriel immediately laughed at the question of his little wife.
"No, it's just that being Ustadz is delicious. Close to God, I know a lot about religion. Just heard his Ustadz lecture, the heart of kayak adem. It turns out that God is close to us, and God is very good. After I remember, from my childhood until this moment, everything described by Ustadz was true. The promise of God is true even when I did not know He promised it would be like that. I feel sorry to know my God now, why did I not meet you from the first time" said Gabriel with a great sense of admiration. Firda who heard that smiled knotingly, he stroked the head of her husband who was currently lying sideways in front of her.
"Because He's your God, Bang. And you are His servant, and the Lord has the Nature of Rahman, the most merciful. All His servants He loved. And really, Bang. God loves those who repent, so no matter how much you sin, as often as you commit sins, keep repenting again and again. And it is never too late to know God and repent before life is in the esophagus"
"Yes, you're right too" Gabriel muttered "Hopefully, people out there are living like me. Also in love with God's love Hidayah"
"God always guides, whether the person takes it or not"
"I think I should really be Ustadz"
"Well..."
"Aren't you laughing?"
"Ustadz is title, Bang. Don't chase the title, pursue the science"
"Hehe, yes, dear"
