Even though Tommy's stomach had just sounded, with determination, he intended to continue his activities to learn to pray. “Again responsibility, Bro. We continue on. After this we will have lunch together. Cave will treat you,” said Tommy. Dimas. “Ready, Boss!” said Dimas.
“OK, earlier you said prayer begins with intention. Please, Bro. How it is.. “ said Tommy. His name is intent, it is in the heart. No need you was-wes-wos komat-kamit. There are scholars who say the intention needs to be recited, but the cave includes those who believe the intention is enough in the heart. You are free to choose who you want to be sure,” said Dimas.
“Saran cave anyway, you are still new. The important thing is that you understand every reading, that's all first. Do not be busy with memorization and the cave is sure you must have difficulty memorizing Arabic readings. Lu intention only in the heart to pray what, continue to recite basmallah,” said Dimas.
“Know right, meaning bismilbornrahmanirrahim?” said Dimas. “By the name of God,” replied Tommy. “Yup, correct. It means in the name of Allah, but it is complete in the name of Allah, the Most Merciful and the Most Merciful. Don't you say it with the father's name again. Hahaha..” said Dimas. “Haha... yes, similar, Bro, so the cave sign there, with the name of God. The difference is that we say it at the end of prayer, if you are at the beginning of prayer,” said Tommy.
“Yok advanced. After that basmallah, you raise both hands, rich gini. Alaahu Akbar! Lu means to acknowledge the greatness of God. Lu what if there is something you fear, respect, disdain, you raise. So after this really you keep the attitude. Stand upright, do not be lazy tau sloping here and there. Well, your legs are this wide let your horses mantep, ga collapse you. Hand smothered in gini chest. Well that one's over the other arm, bro. Well sip,” clear Dimas.
“Actually there was his prayer after the gesture earlier, Bro. The movement was called takbiratul ikhram. But, what you focus on reading Al Fatihah aja first,” said Dimas. The meaning of Surah Al Fatihah is essentially three. First, we are raising up who God is, the Lord of the Universe with his other qualities you can learn more about. Second, we really only worship God, only asking Him for help. There is no use of this path through who and who, just cut the compass, do not use other media. Third, we ask for the same salvation of God,” explained Dimas.
“Pokanyak pas lu salat berjama’ah, when the priest has said aamiin, meaning that the surah has been completed, and you immediately say amen as well,” continued Dimas. “Surah is mandatory in every package of prayer movements, the term raka’at. One raka’at package means you already want to go back to stand or finish with greetings,” he continued.
“There are times when imam ga bacain tu surah, so we read it ourselves using no voice. Because this is a mandatory surah in all prayers, so you if you want to pray yes kudu memorize this surah,” said Dimas. “OK, okay. Ngerti cave. Later cave memorized-hafalin,” said Tommy.
Dimas also explained every prayer move to Tommy. Tommy blandly obeyed Dimas's instructions. He is now like a submissive child who is rarely shown on other occasions. He is famous as a critical young man who prioritizes the attitude of ‘ngeyel’ compared to other things. But not this time. Tommy really did follow this lesson from his friend.
The prayer lesson was over. They both left the mosque. As they walked in tandem, Tommy seemed enthusiastic about discussing some of the things in his prayer lesson earlier.
“Until straight is the right leg behind it, huh? I swear, it was hard. Almost sprained the ankle of the cave,” said Tommy with footwear that swiped the gravel stones of the road. “Yes slow down, Bro. Later also long leg lu lemes, can really. Definitely can,” said Dimas cheering.
While from another corner, some people noticed Tommy who had just come out of the courtyard of the mosque with Dimas. “Tommy? What kind of kid is that? How about Dimas from the mosque?” said one student. “Dimas the pompous ass, Bro?” say another. “Bene! That's them together.”
During this time Tommy has a bad habit, which is doing night entertainment, drinking alcoholic beverages and hanging out with women for fun. All the things that can create the sneer in fact never tarnish its good name. It has certain power over the media to filter such reports.
What about the good things he has just done, that is, with religiousness? Of course it is not a problem for Tommy if there is such a news. Negative things alone can be held up nicely, let alone good things like worship. The news will only add to the rise of Tommy's good name, right?

From Dimas, Tommy was introduced to a community that could help him learn to become a Muslim. After many times learning Islam from Dimas, Tommy also ventured to express his intention that he intended to become a convert.
Through the middleman Dimas, Tommy entered the community of converts and became acquainted with scholars who could guide him to deepen religious knowledge.
This affects Tommy's character. Since Tommy occupied himself in studying religion, his attitude is more polite, his words are more careful and his thoughts are faster in making decisions by listening a lot, listening more than usual.

In a room in a government building, Tommy sits with the ranks of important people. “Look, Tommy hasn't said much since. Unlike usual,” whispered a few people sitting far away from Tommy. “Iya, I was curious, what was his argument against the planning that the forum chairman had just delivered,” another whisper.
“Ah, excuse me. My turn to talk after who is this?” tommy whispered to someone beside him. Not as usual. Where are the usual ‘interuption’ words with Tommy suddenly lay in the middle of the forum? Tommy really gave the panelists a chance to each express their arguments, without cutting the conversation, even though their sentences seemed long-winded though, Tommy still let it go.
“It seems like there are already those who can't wait to present their arguments. Yes, please Dude Tommy..” said the host of the event. “Alright, thank you. I think this can actually be simplified. Let's look at it again objectively, where the root of the problem that wants to be really lifted. “ said Tommy. Tommy conveys his arguments politely but also decisively. He does not personalize as he usually does.
From another angle, someone who was always present wherever Tommy was was watching Tommy. His gaze was sharp, making no sound to anyone. “Lu see later, Tommy... Lu again transform? Or pretend to be stupid? See later, the cave will dismantle everything in public once the cave can all complete evidence of the cave, its inner”.
