Pledge of Love Rumi
learn the wisdom behind sadness.

One day before Ustadz Irsyad came to the family of Ulum.

(flashback is on)

Shafa, who had just returned home from teaching, decided to enter one of the mosques.

Where the mosque is the most convenient place for him to treat liver wounds. Isn't it as comfortable as a place is the house of God? A place for us to take.

Isn't it as comfortable as a prostration? A place for us to pour out our hearts. For there will be no tranquility except when we feel close to the creator.

After zhuhur, precisely in male saf. There are some people gathered, an ustadz who may be a little old with some other fathers are doing a short study.

Shafa who was still in the women's saf was pensive, also listening to the contents of the study in front.

"Fa lammaa nasuu maa zukkiruu bihii fatahnaa ‘alaihim abwaaba kulli syaii’, hattaaa izaa farihuuu imaa utuuu akhoznaahum baghtatang fa izaa hum mublisuun, surat Al Annam verse 44."

"The above verse is a depiction, in which people proudly live in error. With abundant wealth, a successful career, and a happy life with his family. But he is far from God. Cause what? They forget, who gave the pleasure? They forget, it is the mirage of life in the world, which is not at all real. So they are proud to enjoy it without realizing that they have been ignored by God. That's his name, 'Istijraj' Nauzubillah, be careful with that."

"Not feeling often? We are close to Allah SWT, worship, doing the obligatory and Sunnah. Night prayer is not left behind, Duha, Monday-Thursday fasting. And so on, but life is mediocre. Not like those who are far from God but are successful in any way. Do not be tempted by such things, they are rich, they are famous, live with abundant wealth, even Nauzubillahnya until adultery they are exhibited without guilt, he said, and that they don't think diminishes their happiness in the world."

"There is a verse in Ali Imran's letter verse 178. Bismilbornrahmanirrahim 'Wa laa yahsabannallaziina kafaruuu annamaa numlii lahum khoirul li’ angfusihim, innamaa numlii lahum liyazdaaduu ismaa, wa lahum azaabum muhiin' meaning here namely. And never do those who disbelieve think that the time which We have given them is better for them. Verily, the time We have given them is only that sin may increase, and they shall have a humiliating punishment."

"Never be envious of anything like that. We whose life is like lack, distress, it should remain grateful when this heart is held by the best guardians of the heart, namely Allah SWT. We'd better be happier than them."

"As a test of disappointment, sometimes huh? Life is not what we expect, it's a fact. Sometimes God is like stalling what we want. Could have? God is very happy with our prayers, so let it go first. A little disappointed, and seen again? Is this guy still an Istiqomah? Still not trusting? Still not patient? Is it close just because it has a wish?"

"If you can still survive on that, even with great heart give what we really want? Surrender all decisions to the more entitled Allah SWT, then what promises of Allah? it will be given at least more kindness than what we sincerely do."

"Believe me, those of us in such a position should be grateful. When given our favor Alhamdulillah, when given misfortune then innalilahi... It belongs to God and will come back to Him. We are poor, all we have is a loan from God, let alone a treasure, or a person we are hoping to be with us? Even our own bodies are not ours... Whenever God wants to take us, we must be ready. So gentlemen.... So don't be too fond of something that will zolimize yourself. In order to be disappointed in the heart is not too deep... Just put the love first on our main Rabb, second Rosulullah, third parents, to four halal couples. What about men? If the female halal couple number three is the fourth parent.inshaAllah, if we have planted it in the heart, all is beautiful and sweet sir."

"and if you pray, do not ask for wealth, ask for success. Ask for this." Ustadz pointed to his chest.

"Begging to be stretched out his chest, in prolonging his patience, ask to be removed from envy and spite. Keep every prayer out."

"Truly sir, the gift of trust in the heart we will get. And everything we face in this world. Want us to be blasphemed, in zolimi, in disappointment. It will not affect our hearts... And we will not be easily swayed to continue to say hamdalah for what we get. What question? We are God's business, giving it up with God, and God is the best concocter in our lives, a more understanding God. So just believe, behind the sadness, the distress will certainly be a smile after. It's so happy that we've passed the test of life." The Ustadz.

"one more, when we're feeling like we're missing something, there's a cure for his heartache."

"what is Tadz?" ask a father.

"hafalin yes, if not catet." he replied. "bismilbornrahmanirrahim, Allahumma’jurni fii mushibati wa akhlif lii khiran minha. (O Allah, reward me for the misfortune that befalls me and reward me with something better than him)"

He then led the prayer, so as to make Shafa who had been crying raised his hands, also agreed. afterwards he also connected the prayer with his own wishes.

"God, Rahman, where I pour out my heart. I offer him that may not be for me, and I beg forgiveness for my own injustice, which is self-harm. May the wounds in my heart be healed... And I can pick up the wisdom you promised. Aamiin yes rabbal'alamin." The girl rubbed her face, smiling brightly, when the calmness of her heart was already felt at this moment.

Until he started to feel confident about all his problems. He's happy, he'll be fine too. For there will always be a God with his days.
