Rainbow Blanketed Clouds

Rainbow Blanketed Clouds
Hijab For Men


The clouds threw his body violently onto the bed. His face looks very upset, so Rainbow feels goosebumps made. She leaned her husband's walking aid against the wall.


"Mas why?"


"Why is he here again? Indeed in this vast complex there is no other neighboring house to visit, huh?"


The rainbow glanced at the Clouds who seemed less able to control his anger. He knew the Clouds were aware of Thunder's attitude, which sometimes looked at him for only a few seconds. "There was. But Brother Thunder was from a long time ago close to his father and Zidan."


Why do you say his name?


The clouds snorted. "So look at you continue to."


"Mas, we can't keep people's eyes off us, but we can't keep our own eyes. That is why both women and men are obliged to cover their aurat."


"What is that woman's letter?"


"The law of women is the whole body except the face and the palms."


The Cloud view casts off the body of the Rainbow. Since the Beginning met, Rainbow did cover all parts of his body, except the face and palms that made the Clouds ever very curious to see the form of Rainbow without hijab.


"Where are the men?"


"According to the school of Syafii, the male Aurat is between the navel and the knee. But his navel and knees did not include the aurat, only in between. Even so, it must still be covered for caution, so that the aurat bordering the two do not open."


The clouds understood.


The sound of knocking on the door rang out, Rainbow immediately went up to open it. Zidan stood on the threshold with a faint smile.


"Rainbow Sail ... Brother Awan again awaited father to pray congregation."


The rainbow glanced at the clouds at a glance. Although Cloud said nothing, she understood that her husband would feel inferior before Thunder. Especially with the condition of his legs that are still not able to stand without a cane.


"To this day, Mas Awan will pray in his room only, Deck. It's okay, huh? After all, the Clouds have not been able to go too far."


"Oh, yes, I have. I'm first, brother."


"Yes, Deck." The rainbow closed the room door after Zidan's departure.


A few moments later there was a very melodious voice echoing the Adhan. The clouds fell silent with admiration in his heart. The most melodious voice he had ever heard since living in Rainbow's old man's house.


"The sound is so sweet, huh?" the clouds said shortly after the Adzan was finished.


The rainbow responds with a smile. "That's the voice of Brother Thunder."


Cloud's heart instantly slipped, and made him feel defeated further and further away from the man.


I'm so poor like this, anyway? I am adzan not yet able to.


"Mas, can I pray this time in the belief of Mas Awan?"


"Of course it may be, as long as Mas is in front as a priest and I stand in the back as a makmum."


"I mean, is it legal for the priest to pray while sitting? I can't stand up yet."


"Imam Nawawi in his book, Almajmu, said that congregational prayer to priests who pray sitting because of the pain of the law is permissible and his prayer is considered perfect and valid. But a man who is able to stand must not sit after the priest."


The cloud lowered his head, then said softly, "But I'm ashamed, Hunny."


"Then why?"


"I just memorized Alfatihah, Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq and An Nas."


"It's okay. Read that to every rakaatannya."


The clouds stared at the rainbow with sadness. That day for the first time, the man became a prayer priest for the Rainbow.


...........


Dinner has arrived. Ahmad's father, Awan, Zidan and Guntur were already sitting at the dining table. While Mother Humairah and Rainbow will eat afterwards.


"What side dish do you want?" ask Rainbow.


"Soup soup is the same fish fried flour only. That's a lot of sambel."


Mindfully, Rainbow served her husband at the dinner table. Get some requested dishes. One thing that made Clouds upset half to death, had several times found Thunder looking at the Rainbow.


He looked at Zidan.


"Dec, it is said that the hijab for women is her dress. What is the hijab for men?" A moment after asking Zidan a question, Cloud glanced at Thunder sitting before him.


Zidan's view immediately turned to the Clouds. Through the tone of his brother-in-law's speech, he was able to guess what happened.


Zidan stared at the Rainbow who left the dining table after serving the Clouds, then then glanced at Thunder. Zidan also noticed the occasional sight of Thunder pointing to his brother.


"Hijab to men is to subject his gaze from the adornment of the world to deceive and plunge into things forbidden."


"Example?" ask the clouds again.


"Women are one of the jewels of the world. Men should, then, bow their eyes to women who are not mahrams."


Suddenly Thunder choked on food.


Sokor! Get mentally excited! inner Cloud.
