Zalfa lifted his head and saw the reader of the Qur’an. Arkhan sat in front facing the Qur’an that had been prepared, wearing a black peci and a white shirt. Slowly, Zalfa's head bowed. What's the matter? It felt like he was dreaming.
“Bismilbornohmannirohim.”.
Limping, Zalfa's body drooped as if not powered anymore. How could Arkhan sit in front of it and read the Qur’an with complete self-reliance? Just reading Basmallah, Zalfa's heart was already trembling. Arkhan's tongue is used to pronouncing it.
“Isytarou bi’aayaatillaahi samanang qoliilan fa shodduu ‘an sabiantih, innahum saaa’a maa kaanuu ya’maluun.”.
What a beautiful chant that Arkhan called. His voice was sweet and heart-shaking to hear. Zalfa was goosebumps and her eyes were glazed over. Only one verse, but already able to flush the heart. Isn't Arkhan reading the holy verse? Is it true that the man who had just taken his mother to church was calling out the great words of God?
O Lord, Arkhan who has recited Your verses makes Zalfa moved and almost shed tears. Zalfa could hardly believe what he saw and heard. Heart's wet. He was amazed, amazed at the figure of Arkhan. Many questions invaded Zalfa's mind as soon as Arkhan read the Qur’an, but he could only resist the rush of the question silently and listen to the verse being read.
Finished reading the Qur’an, thunderous applause accompanied by hamdallah echoed filled the mosque.
Not only Zalfa who felt amazed, all who were present at the mosque also felt amazed. Many people are Muslim but not necessarily able to teach as beautiful and surf Arkhan, but how can a non-Muslim like Arkhan actually have such a deep knowledge of Islam? Justjust wonderful.
Somehow Zalfa became curious to see the look on Arkhan's face now. But Zalfa held back his gaze not to look at Arkhan. His gaze remained focused on the host who had now stood in front of the start of the show.
The host read out the arrangement of the event. The first began with a speech from the Rector of the Campus who held the event, followed by a speech from the Mayor as an invited guest who supported the event.
Mr. Mayor said his greetings, greeted by the roar of greetings of the pilgrims. The welcome is over.
Now is the time to enter the core event, no other lecture filled by Ustad Dahlan.
Greetings enliven the mosque once Ustad Dahlan said hello up to three times. He preached a sermon on moral improvement. The way he spoke and said hello was very simple and attracted sympathy.
“Good viewers, today we are gathering to jointly add science, coinciding with the 1st of Muharam, the Islamic New Year. In the new year, it is expected that everything will be new. Not his new clothes, car or house, but his morals. Which is where our nation is sick. Why ill? Because of his bad human behavior. Because if human morals are bad, then the economy must be bad. Even politics uses with damaged morals. Greedy, greedy, and greedy. Let alone in the affairs of the state, even in domestic affairs will certainly be chaotic. Can't be a good husband, can't be a godly wife, can't be a devoted child.
