Hijrah The Love
44. Love of the Fatherland
" Indonesia is a blessed country. They fought with the blood of the martyrs and clerics. With screeches the takbir echoes. That is why the first precept of Pancasila reads Godhead of the Most Exalted. That is also why in the Opening of the Basic Law 1945 it is said, we are free thanks to the Grace of the Grace of Almighty God. . . . ."
So tausiah Abah Iwan bakda this dawn. All the students listened with Khidmat.
"Therefore, in this August, Hijrah Village will celebrate August 17 by making the competition between students like in previous years. One of the main races is archery and horse riding. Abah asked managers and students to decorate the hijrah village with red and white flags in every corner of the house and dormitory.we celebrate this independence month."
Abah Iwan conveyed his plan with passion. However, someone revealed his unwillingness.
"Should we do this, Abah?" ask Abu Zaid.
"Why not?" answer Abah Iwan briefly.
"Isn't the unitary Republic of Indonesia Thagut, Abah? Darul kufr's? Why should we respect and submit to him?" ask Abu Zayd again. The santri sounded rowdy and whispered to each other.
Abah Iwan raised his hand, asking to calm down. Instantly the atmosphere calmed down. He tried to restrain himself.
"Let Abah clear your mind, son. That's not Darul kufr. Not a kafir or thagut state. Nor is it an Islamic state, darul harbi, or a war state. NKRI is darul ahdi, or it can be considered a state of agreement. . .," explained Abah, a smile still visible on his face.
Then, Abah continued, "We are not the first to implement this. The Prophet Muhammad made a common agreement called the Charter of Medina. This is a legal opportunity that must be obeyed by all believers in Medina. The Prophet also said, ready to kill the non-Muslims with whom he had a covenant, he would not smell heaven."
All the santri were still paying attention, including Abu Zaid. his eyes were not comfortable with Abah Iwan's reply.
Abah Iwan looks excited. From his eyes, all students know how much he loves Indonesia, and expect peace to always occur in Indonesia.
"So, we should be grateful for the enjoyment, peace, and independence in this country.we must also help build a country with real works. So, Indonesia became a country that God increasingly blessed. And, we can all take refuge from the nature of the end times. There will come a time when we will fight, but it will not be against our own brother, but against Dajjal and his army. That's our real enemy later. The current phase, we focus on preaching, fortifying ourselves and families with priests, from the nature of the Dajjal and the end times."
Abah Iwan again reminded all the santri. Abu Zaid seemed to be unable to say anything more.
"Prepare yourself for the competitions to be held. Compete with fair and vigorously . . ," he said.
The students welcomed Abah Iwan's message. No exception Satria, Angga, and Demoy. all three are very enthusiastic about participating in competitions, especially archery and horse riding.
On the day of the race, the atmosphere of the hijrah village is very lively. A red and white flag is attached to every corner.Santri who are compact wearing white shirts move towards the field. They celebrate seventeen races.
Demoy had a stomachache and had to go back to the toilet in his dorm room. When he finished, he rushed towards the field through several rooms.As he passed through Abu Zaid's room, he saw the room door partially open. Demoy saw some strangers he didn't know were there. Just as he was about to notice, the door was immediately shut tightly.
Who, yeah, them? as far as Demoy is concerned, the entry of foreigners is strictly prohibited in Hijrah Village. Even if there is a new santri, it will definitely be introduced to other santri-santri. Especially now. Are not all students required to take part in the race?
The questions revolved around Demoy's head. However, upon arriving at the field, the atmosphere was very crowded and Demoy immediately mingled with the others. The events he had seen were simply forgotten
