Selebgram Insaf For The Solehah
chapter 8

A few weeks have passed...

Safa began to make peace with the situation. He could accept what happened. Even though his life lost its direction due to eroding reality.

Destiny is unpredictable, and he cannot force her to side with him. The earth belongs to God, and only by his permission does all this happen.

On a blistering afternoon, Safa attended a science assembly. He wants to enjoy his life as it is. Unconstrained continuously within the scope of grief that he himself made.

Siti Khomariah Ustadzah. Is a middle-aged woman whose knowledge is quite high. Ordinary teaching science in one of the boarding schools.

Usually Safa is never absent, if he opens a tabligh in one of the mosques that are routinely opened every month. The long-veiled woman, always attracted every study she brought the same as today.

It was as if Safa was in nasehati. Why the theme is so fitting, discussing sincere heartbreak if it is a decision from the owner of the heart.

"I can't live without him. He means a lot to me" he said in a tone that sounded sad until some of the worshippers laughed. "Okaya, if it's a matter of the heart. You will never be willing to accept that he is not a match. As if, only he can make you happy nothing else."

Silent for a moment. "Hey, ladies!"

"Hey...!! Hahahaha" replied simultaneously the female worshipers who were there.

"The only guy in the world? To feel that the world is collapsing because He is not ours? Obviously not dong. That's it, it's only in your mind. There is only fear that you create yourself. But this world would still be mediocre without it. What's right?"

"Rubber!!!"

"Well, it was Kitu.we as women also have to be strong. Lost one, grew a thousand. In the marriage of one Brotherhood, then came thousands of substitute Brotherhood to propose to us... Aamiinkan dong."

"Aaaaaiiiiiiin!"

"It's a pump, huh?"

"Haha..."

Safa who was there smiled. Staring at the beautiful face that emanated the light of faith from Ustadzah Siti. A cool face in view even without makeup.

"There's one story. About a man named Salma Al-Farizi and his friend Abu Dardak. So Salman Al-Farisi is one of the companions of the Prophet SAW who came from Persia. And he was famous for his ingenuity when he proposed digging a trench around the city of Medina when the infidels of the Quraysh of Mecca with their allied forces came storming in the battle of Khandaq."

"Little story there is an Anshar woman whom he knows as your woman’minah again the prayer that has occupied a place in his heart. This Salman. Then he wanted this woman to be his girlfriend. It means Salman has the intention to marry her."

"So he also conveyed his true intention to Anshar's friend who he had known familiarly, Abu Dardak. So what did Si Abu Dardak say when he heard that statement?

'Subhanallaah. wal hamdulillaah.' Abu Dardak's overexcited, when he heard it. Both of them smiled happily and hugged."

"Give to the time, when preparation is sufficient. The two of them walked together towards a house in the middle of Medina. The house of a woman who prayed."

"When he arrived at the woman's house. Abu Dardak immediately spoke of the purpose for which they had come. 'I am Abu Dardak, and this is my brother Salman a Persian. Allah has honored him with Islam and he has also glorified Islam with his charity and jihad. He had a major position on the side of the Prophet Shallallaahu ’Alaihi wa Sallam, to the extent that he called him a member of his temple. I have come to represent my brother and propose to your daughter for her editing.' Eloquently Abu Dardak speaks in the most subtle of the Bani Najjar's dialects."

"So guys. The family welcomed them well and were very happy. When someone proposes to their daughter. Well, because the decision remains with the woman who was pinned. They were waiting for an answer from the woman. Wait for that answer by Abu Dardak and Salman with hearts pounding. The mother reappeared after talking to her daughter. To give an answer. About to receive?"

Everyone is still focused on listening to the story of Ustadzah Siti. So did Safa who looked closely at her story.

"So the mother came out with a regretful look on her face. And say it like this. 'Pardon us for this candor, ' said the mother who spoke on behalf of her daughter. 'hoping for Allah's pleasure I replied that our daughter rejected Salman's proposal.' so he said with soft words so as not to hurt Salman. But, before that the mother spoke again like this. 'And because you two came. Do you Abu Dardak have the same business?' tanyak."

"Both be quiet, guys. Confused to answer. Especially Abu Dardak. After that the mother said again. 'if yes, then our daughter has prepared an answer yes."

"Oooouuhhh..." Jama'ah's severe spirit also felt its tightness.

"We're connecting, huh? So, the frankness is beyond the expectations of the two friends. It was surprising that the princess was more interested in the introduction than her suitor. Imagine a mixed feeling where love and brotherhood are churning for a place in the heart. Imagine a form of shame that rises and meets the wave of consciousness. Yes, however Salman is self-aware. He does not have any rights over the person he loves. So what does Salman say to respond to this?"

All the worshippers were calmly waiting for an answer.

"Reaction of Salman, this noble friend immediately berakbir. 'Allahu Akbar!' exclaim Salman. He also looked at his best friend. And touch his shoulder with a smile. 'This is a good thing, brother. Because all this dowry and living already exists. With my greatness and sincerity. Then I will hand it over to you, Abu Dardak. Marry her, and I will be a witness to your marriage!' speechless, isn't it?"

"Bangette, Ust!"

"Banget, right? How beautiful is the greatness of Salman Al Farisi. He was well aware that how much love, to a woman, did not necessarily give him the right to have. Before the application is accepted, before the ijab qabul is pledged, love does not justify the relationship of two people. He also understood the meaning of true friendship."

"Moreover Abu Dardak has been reconciled by Rasulullaah saw with him. It is not a brother if he does not rejoice in the happiness of his brother. Is it not a brother if he feels envy for the happiness and favors of his brother?"

"Remember one hadith friends. Which is narrated by Bukhari? (Not one of you is perfect in his faith, until he loves for his brother something he loves for himself.)"

"Shewing it is heavy. But we really need to understand. What we want does not have to be ours. Ikhtiar, patience, will lead you to kindness. Sometimes the results are not according to our will. But trust me, only God knows what is good for us. My studies end, get here. May it be good for all of us who are able to take the wisdom of these stories."

Ustadzah Siti closed the assembly with prayers and greetings. For two hours Safa was there. And he was grateful to have obtained such an amazing knowledge from him. His heart was sure to accept whatever his Lord wanted.
