Strong Attitude And Diplomacy 2 (revision)
“But rarely can anyone do that! On average, losing one of them, if not the school!” Fahmi.
“Then from that I said earlier, he is as great as a human being! Yasudah kang first! I want to go back to my room first!" jamal said he intended to leave while preparing to get out of his seat.
“Oh yes.. Please!” answer them in unison.
“Tomorrow we can copy Jamal again!” invite Irvan who seems to be starting to be somewhat interested in the chatter and words of wisdom Jamal.
“God willing.” Jamal smiles as he rises from his seat and returns to his room to get ready to perform Dluha prayers.
Finished do’a behind his prayer, he sat casually in his room accompanied by a cup of coffee and a few packets of kuaci that he bought at the pesantren cooperative.
He began to open the books he had brought from home. Almost all of Jamal's books deal with history. He was so interested in history. Jamal is obsessed with public figures and kiai international level, namely maulana Al-habib Luthfi bin Yahya Pekalongan.
In simple language, he explained a lot about history and discussed the wisdom implied in it. He also managed to attract Jamal's sympathy to continue studying history and Jamal also managed to get a lot of wisdom from the stories he read. He made that wisdom a walking tendency and a foundation in his life.
Of the many stories he read, Jamal was very interested in the figures of Ashabul-kahfi. For Jamal, they are the picture of santri figures in the era of antiquity who managed to succeed and unpretentious.
In his story, the six of them are a group of young men who grow up and move away from the dzolim government in a cave that is very far from everywhere in order to be able to focus more on worship and serve the Almighty God.
Same with santri! They argue and stay away from slander which is now increasingly rampant everywhere. Running from the increasingly free association and breaking syara’! Heading to a place called the boarding school that everyone knows is in it to learn to explore the religious sciences. And learning is also the duty of every Muslim and a worship with a fairly great reward.
“Kang Jamal!”
Suddenly Ridwan's voice was heard calling and eliminating the focus as well as his preoccupation in reading his favorite story.
"Kang Ridwan!" sahut Jamal's.
“While read what kang?" ask Ridwan.
“Ooh.. It's Ridwan kang! History of Ashabul-kahfi!” jamal smiled.
“It seems very cool when seen kang Jamal read it! Ish's.. That is history! What is it like to read about history?” ridwan asked in a somewhat less interested tone with the history lesson.
“Owalah kang Ridwan! Please get the coffee snatched away first! And here's the weather!" take Jamal so that Ridwan can sit back with him.
“Gini loo kang Ridwan.”
With his classical language and seemingly imitating Habib Luthfi's speech, Jamal explains history and explains little of the wisdom implicit in it. Especially in the history of asabul-kahfi.
Ridwan was listening.
“Ooh.. So anyway.. Cool as well! If we manage to navigate the wisdom of the historical stories of ancient people, we will find knowledge that we can use for our daily lives!” ridwan concluded.
“Well.. That's right, Ridwan! Hehehe.” replied Jamal with a smile full of satisfaction because he could share a little knowledge for his roommate.
“In addition to the story of asabul-kahfi, let alone the one that kang Jamal tau?” ask Ridwan again full of interest.
“Ya many Ridwan kang! In the yellow books there are many shiroh-shiroh or histories that are quite impressive in my opinion. Kang Ridwan remembers the story of the Prophet Jonah as?” jamal said inquiring.
“Iya! The one that the whale swallowed, right?” Ridwan.
“Iya! Exactly right! But more precisely the fish nun name. When his heart was angry and disappointed, he left his disbelieving and disobedient people. But Allah seems to disagree with what was the decision of the Prophet Jonah!.."
"Then Allah tested it by throwing the Prophet Jonah at sea when the boat he was riding was hit by the waves with the release of his name three times in a row when drawn. Yet, Allah does not want His servants to perish in vain. So the fish was sent to swallow the prophet Jonah. Kang Ridwan knows how he is doing when he is fish?” ask Jamal.
“What must be hard kang!” Ridwan.
“Not only hard kang Ridwan! But it's hard up above hard! Just imagine, he was in a very dark sea and then added in the stomach of the fish. Dark in the dark!" said Jamal with a serious face.
“Ih!” shocked by Ridwan, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
“But from there the prophet Jonah realized that this was all because of his ignorance and despair towards his people. Though the name of despair is strictly forbidden by Allah. So glorify him with lafadz...?” jamal deliberately cut his words.
“Laa ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minadzh-dzholimin,” Kata Ridwan continued Jamal's speech.
“Naah!” Jamal confirmed and gave a thumbs up.
“Yes, besides we know that despair will bring disaster to ourselves, we can also draw wisdom 'even though we are hit by a disaster or a problem that we think is very heavy felt, he said, let us not be discouraged and forget God. Remember and say the name of God always and regret all our bad deeds. Then God will open the door for us to get out of our mistakes, as God did to the prophet Jonah as,” Jamal replied.
“Owh, yes-yes. I understand now!” satisfied Ridwan.
“Oiya kang Ridwan! Here's weather! Forgetting, mostly talking! Hehehe..” said Jamal mengguyoni Ridwan.
“Iya kang Jamal thank you.” said Ridwan with a smile.
They also chatted coolly, while eating my snack. Familiarity for the painted familiarity of the two. An intimate friendship began to form.
They kept telling stories. Sometimes laugh out loud, sometimes serious. Yep! All of that was really beautiful felt Jamal and Ridwan.
"Kang Ridwan's. I still wonder!" jamal.
"Well, what's Jamal?" ask Ridwan curiously.
"It's loo.. Usually the name of the child is always in love and with his parents," said Jamal mysterious.
"Then?" Confused Ridwan.
"Lha continues why my chicks have never known his history he follows his father huha? Ahhaha.." Jamal laughs followed by Ridwan.
"Ahaha. Yes yes too. But there is another question that until now no one can answer!" Ridwan.
"What's that?" ask Jamal.
"That's kuntilanak where the negligent came from?" asked Ridwan while holding back his laughter.
"Haha. Yeah-yes. Where are you from?" Jamal asked back.
"It doesn't know me! Hence asking! Jhahaha." said Ridwan with a laugh that continues to thunder.
Jamal laughed and shook his head. He is very happy to be friends with the figure of Ridwan, who can be invited to joke and can also be serious.
"By the way Jamal, by the way" said Ridwan.
"Yes" Jamal briefed.
"What do you want to be?" ask Ridwan seriously.
"Lho-lho-lho. How did the topic become like my teacher's first-grade question? Haha." replied Jamal jokingly.
"Hiss.. Seriously kang Jamal!" Ridwan.
"My ideas are people!" jamal answered with a serious face.
"you mean? Are you not a person now?" ask Ridwan.
"Haha... Not so kang Ridwan. I mean the one whose name is people yes people!" jamal.
"Good go, I'm a bullet!" confused Ridwan.
"Hahaha," Jamal laughed again and said,
"Native people are real people. Not animal!"
"Can be clarified?" ask Ridwan.
"The scorpion likes to hurt other animals with its sting. So if you confess to people, you should avoid hurting others! If you can't, then you're not fully a person yet, but you're still a scorpion!" jamal said which made Ridwan nod.
"Another "example is the monkey. He is very greedy and greedy. Do you understand Ridwan?" Jamal.
"Yes. I understand kang. Masayallah. I thought your answer was careless. It is god."
Jamal shook his head again.
