MY BOYFRIEND LECTURER
SN 61'S
“Ashadu’ala illa.” Ustad Dahlan begins his guidance on the recitation of the two shahadahs.
“Ashadu’ala ilaha’illallah wa’ashadu’ana Muhammadan Rosulullah.” Again the lafaz that Arkhan said made the entire mosque flabbergasted. Arkhan so eloquently recited the reading.
Ustad Dahlan nodded proudly. The Muslim candidate under his guidance this time as if he had often read the sentence. How proud and amazed.
“I testify in fact that..” continued ustad Dahlan on his guidance so that Arkhan follows the meaning of the reading of two sentences of the creed.
“I testify in fact that there is no God worthy of worship and worship except Allah alone and I testify that Prophet Muhammad is the last messenger of Allah.” Arkhan said that sentence out loud and easily, like it was already outside his head.
“Alhamdulilbornabbil ‘alamin..” Ustad Dahlan said hamdallah accompanied by worshippers. Then he immediately read Al Fatihah and continued with a prayer intended for Arkhan who had converted to Islam.
Zalfa smiled at Arkhan's melodious voice as he spoke two sentences of the creed. Arkhan's tongue sounded like it had spoken that sentence frequently.unsteady, fluent and eloquent. Zalfa smiled involuntarily.
“Thus, increase one brother of our fellow Muslims. And after this, then later is the first Ashar prayer that must be performed by Nathan.” Ustad Dahlan looked at Arkhan proudly. “It sounds like you were very fluent in reading two shahadahs. Is there a Muslim family?” Ustad Dahlan slightly corrected Arkhan's life which left him filled with question marks.
“All my family is non muslim.”
“But you are very fluent reciting the reading earlier.”
“Since childhood I have often read the holy book of the Qur’an. I am curious about the Muslim book. I grew up around Muslims since I was a child. I often heard them recite the readings, and I also learned a lot about Islam from my friend, as well as my friend's teacher. Since childhood, my curiosity about Islam grew, why most of the world's population embraced Islam.”
“But there was no desire for you to convert to Islam then?”
“Not yet that time.”
Arkhan nodded.
Ustad Dahlan was not convinced. “What are you willing if asked to teach now?”
“Ya.”
Arkhan's answer made the audience riveted.
Before that, Ustad Dahlan asked Arkhan to take a mandatory bath after previously he outlined the procedures and mandatory bath prayers to be immediately practiced by Arkhan. Ustad Dhalan's assistant took Arkhan to the back, guiding Arkhan to the restroom in the corner of the mosque's outer courtyard. He also handed over a towel complete with new clothes to Arkhan.
Arkhan soon came out of the restroom and returned to the mosque as requested by Ustad Dahlan wearing the clothes given to him earlier. He sat back facing the Dahlan just like his original position.
Assistant ustad Dahlan handed over the Qur’an to Arkhan. Al Qur’an greeted by Arkhan.
“Please read At Taubah's letter verse 9 to seventeen.” Ustad Dahlan grew curious about Arkhan until he deliberately tested it.
Amazingly, Arkhan opened the book from behind, searched the ninth letter and its verse and found the letter without taking long.
“Mashaa Allah... Please read!” Ustad Dahlan was more and more amazed at the man who had just converted. How could Arkhan know the letters of the Qur’an, letters and verses while the man had only been a few minutes Muslim.
