Not Nackal, Nurul!
Tommy Learn Praying

Tommy and Dimas are on the side of the terrace of the mosque which is quite spacious and conducive for both of them.  No one has passed.  Dimas then spread two prayer mats lined with in front of them was a wall.  Their distance to the wall was about half a meter or so.

Before pointing out how to pray, Dimas explained a few things.  They sat cross-legged on their own prayer mats.  “The first thing you need to know before you pray is the terms of prayer,” said Dimas.  Tommy nodded.  He knows the sacredness of prayer.  However, prayer cannot be done carelessly.

“What are the conditions?” asked Tommy enthusiastically.  “Nih, cave tell, yes.  First, the prayer person is a person of Islam.  Lu, don't learn doang dong!  Enter islam that way,” said Dimas.  “God willing,” replied Tommy.

“God's Mass.  Do you know what God says?  Know what ga?” means said Dimas.  “Know, you know.. Children are also commonly referred to.  That is if God wills.  Yes, right?” said Tommy.  “Bene!  We continue, yes?  The second condition, which is a sane person, reasonable, old enough,” continued Dimas.

“Enough age?  But there are many children who like to pray, pray together again,” said Tommy.  “If his children already know, already taught, yes nothing.  Teaching children to pray since childhood is good, Bro,” replied Dimas.  “Oh, so.  Understand the cave, understand,” said Tommy.

“Third requirement, holy, clean alias.  Clothes are clean, places are also clean and especially the body must be clean,” said Dimas.  “Kayak wudhu earlier it means to be holy, yes, right?  Take off footwear too?” guess Tommy.  “Yup, you really are,” replied Dimas.  “But not only that, Bro” said Dimas.  “Hah?  What do you mean holy again?” said Tommy.

“Casual, Bro.  What a spirit you have!  Gua gini means, for the boys will like wet dreams, if the girl likes to menstruate.  Well if in such circumstances a person must shower with a certain intention.  Same with men and women after sex.  Must shower also tuh, the term is junub bath,” explained Dimas.

At once Tommy also remembered all his actions that liked to have sex with women first, and lastly was during sex with Nurul.  Tommy blinked his eyes to get rid of his dirty thoughts and concentrated on what his friend was talking about.

“Next terms... “ says Dimas.  “Many also yes, Bro?” said Tommy.  “Ya, you will also long memorize if you already understand,” said Dimas.  “OK, what are the next terms?” said Tommy.

“Closing aurat.  It means we should dress modestly.  There are aurat limits for guys as well as girls.  Anyway if you often see people praying congregation in your mosque will be familiar with how to dress the prayer people who how to,” said Dimas.

“Ah, understand the cave.  If a guy is usually covered, no one wears shorts.  Usually also the gloves or pants on the raised above the eyes of the feet.  If girls, they usually wear mukena that wrap all the bodies except the face doang,” said Tommy.  “Well, are you familiar?  Thank God if that is so,” said Dimas.

“Other terms, Bro?” ask Tommy.  “By the way how many conditions was that gua calledin, yes?” ask Dimas.  Tommy seemed to recall the lesson Dimas had given while counting with his finger.  “Udah five, Bro.  Five,” replied Tommy.  “Keren lu, can immediately remember so.  Okay, we continue the sixth, yes?” said Dimas.

“Sixth prayer requirement.. log in at prayer time.  It means that if you want to pray at dawn, do not pray when the sun has risen.  It was different again, had entered the prayer duha,” said Dimas.  “Shortly, briefly!  Fajr, dzuhur, afternoon, magrib, isha.  How about duha?  That's a prayer what?” said Tommy.

“Ready, Mr Ustadz!” said Tommy.  “Ustadz, ustadz!  Ustadz what! Hahaha..Don't call the cave that!  Ga pantes cave called ustadz!  Science of the cave superficial!” said Dimas.

“Ready!  So there are restrictions on prayer times huh, Bro?” tommy said, bringing back the subject.  “Iya, basically according to the cave, you mark if there is an adzan means that you have entered the mandatory prayer time.  Do not delay, just pray so adzan kellar.  Bye, safe,” said Dimas.

“Next terms... “ says Dimas.  Tommy still watched Dimas closely.  “So we just discussed.  A person praying it kudu can ngebedain where the obligatory prayer and where the sunnah prayer aka additional prayer earlier.  Because every prayer we must intend in our hearts first to pray whatan,” explained Dimas.  Tommy also understood.

“Last terms... “ says Dimas.  Tommy's eyes sparkled.  He could not wait to learn the practice of prayer, so he heard that this was the last lesson, so he was so excited to finish it.  “The last requirement is prayer facing Qibla,” said Dimas.  “You mean facing Ka’bah who is in Arab it?” said Tommy.  “Yup!  Bener!” answer Tommy.

“Bye the way, why should it face Ka’bah si, Bro?  Sorry-sorry yes, sorry if so offended.” said Tommy.  “Ya...what?” said Dimas.  “The message is that Muslims kayak worship Ka’bah gitu,” said Tommy.

“Hahaha... Not worship Ka’bah, Bro.  It is God's command to unite all Muslims.  The direction of the Qiblah changed.  There is the Aqsa Mosque in Palestine.  That was also the Qibla direction.  Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala who ordered where the prayer qibla.  Wherever God has the right to give orders.  It does not mean that it or its place is worshiped, so,” replied Dimas.

Tommy nodded again.  He was so concentrated in absorbing the lessons that his friend Dimas had just given him.  His friend's explanations were so practical, they didn't extend to others, though they were important enough to know.  Their focus right now is only on the lesson of prayer first.

“Well, the terms of prayer have been finished we discussed,” said Dimas.  “So, now we can directly learn prayer?” asked Tommy enthusiastically.  Dimas caught the look on Tommy's excited face.  He smiled while nodding.  “Yuk, we are now learning to pray,” said Dimas.  Dimas took Tommy to his feet.

Dimas and Tommy have both stood parallel on each of the prayer mats.  “The first prayer is intention.  Intention in the heart.  What do you want to pray?  You want to pray alone what is the congregational prayer’ah as a makmum or priest, Bro,” said Dimas.

When Dimas explained the matter of prayer intention, suddenly…

GRUK…

“Wah, the sign of nature has called noh, Bro,” said Dimas.  Tommy closed his lips while scratching his hump.  “So, you want to continue praying first what to eat first?” said Dimas.
