Short Stories of Islamic Love
This Love Is Anchored In Prayer

This morning was so different, I didn't hear this phone ringing. Unlike usual he always woke me up in the morning and gave me the best spirit and do’a for me. He's the man who took my heart for the last 3 years. The man I admired when I was in college. He was the simple man I had met in a community that I was following. When I heard his name, I didn't know why my subconscious was always so excited to see him. Yes, at that time he had a heart patch. But my heart only said, “Yes Allah, why am I so amazed by this man?, if You will I know him, and make him my companion for the good of the world and my hereafter”.

I spent the days alone, finding happiness in my own way.I tried to erode the sadness with the trials I went through during college. I live abroad with independent, moral assistance from parents is enough to make me eager to find a job to meet the needs of life in the city of people. Praise be to God, after trying and praying God gave me a very noble profession. The profession that made me learn how to be the best mother for a child. And that profession is nothing but a teacher. Where the profession required a very noble heart, sincere intentions without expecting any reward. What is expected is the development and growth of students in terms of academic, spiritual, and psychomotor.

For months I lived the noble profession, sometimes tired, angry and desperate often fight in this self. But the sincere smiles and laughter of children always make themselves the spirit of going to teach. I learned a lot about the development of children with the types of each individual, I had to learn how to be the best teacher and parent for them. And in the midst of my busy life, she's the one I've ever admired. Yes, that man came into my life. He sent me a message on Facebook asking for a pin on my birthday. I don't know if this is the answer to do’ me, or if he was created as part of my life's destiny.

Days passed, he always sent his best messages and advice every day. Even if I didn't reveal to him how I felt from the beginning. I have accepted him well in my life, and I hope he is the man who can stand by me until the end of this life. I don't know him so deeply, I don't know how his family is, how his life is. But why is this heart so certain that he is a good man and a sholeh.

And the beautiful day came, my all-good God heard my prayers all this time. That twilight he sent a message to invite me to break my fast and tarawih together. And why is this self so happy to support and wait for him to pick me up at that twilight.

After breaking fast and tarawih together, for some reason he invited me to walk together for a while and enjoy the Ramadan Festival that night. That night she conveyed her feelings to me, she admitted that I was in her feelings. I just fell silent and smiled, speechless I just looked at him. I feel like this was just a dream in the past that happened right now in front of me. He began to convince me that he was going to have a serious relationship with me. And the heart can't resist anything with what it says.

Those beautiful days began, she accompanied me in my distress and grief. I cherish him in my life, for me he is an opportunity given by God to keep his heart and continue to accompany him to achieve his success in the world and the hereafter. Until finally on his happy day I was given the opportunity to accompany him and he introduced myself to his beloved parents and family. He graduated from college and graduated as an economics graduate. I am happy and proud of him until the end he always fought without a word of surrender, the goal is very noble to make both his beloved parents happy. Thank goodness I promised Robbi I had given him the opportunity to take part in the process of his journey to success.

Those wonderful days I spent with him, I went through them both every day. Until eating, prayer berjama’ah, and anywhere both to fill the happiness of both of us. And I realized that the relationship was always tested for her loyalty, her honesty, and her sincerity. After he successfully obtained his economics degree, he was given the opportunity to work in Jakarta, in his hometown. Where his work was in accordance with his wishes and passion, and this is where our relationship was tested, he expressed his desire to me that night to move and work in Jakarta. He always tried to convince my heart to be patient and wait for success. Although this distance will reduce our intensity for both of us, and he still assures me every day that there will be a beautiful day that will unite us at the right time.

That night, he invited me to take him to the station with his family. I knew in his heart he could not bear to see my sorrow but he was so encouraging to me that he would be faithful, and sincerely love me.

The months passed by the distance that separated us, but this heart always brought us both closer together. He was always encouraging in my final assignments, he always prayed for my good. He was such a good man that God sent me. I felt genuine love from her, she helped me selflessly. He helped solve the problems in my life and I never forgot that he was in my life because of a dispatch from God. For some reason when he taught kindness, taught about religion I always obeyed and listened to it without refuting. For me he was the man I wanted to be with my life, before I knew him and after that I was always sure without hesitation. That belief comes from one's heart and mind and it comes from the Creator who possesses this self. And I also do not understand why this heart is so sure.

By the end of my studies I had completed my final assignment. I am thankful that God made my dream come true to be an education scholar. She was so happy to hear from me, she always encouraged me to my happy day. On my birthday he was willing to take the time and material to come and accompany me on the day that I managed to hold a bachelor degree in Islamic education. I am proud of him, I always thank God for everything that was given to me. I spent the day happily with him and my parents and sisters. He patiently spoiled my sisters and managed to take their hearts.

Be grateful and continue to be grateful for what God gave, passing through him. I understand everything, I understand the meaning of sincerity, I understand kindness. After graduating from college, he did not remain silent. He continues to encourage and help for the good of my career. Until finally I got a job with more income than a teacher. I'm looking for more income just because I want to help my family, help send my sisters.

Holding a new job, at the beginning of work I felt lonely without the laughter and cries of my children. I felt like working in the office was so bored and not to my liking. Allah is right, when I was so eager to be an office clerk God gave it. But God saw to me how peaceful it was to be a teacher. I told him again that I miss my students. He was so patient in advising me to be a teacher again.

My faith and her faith were strong. I always talked about marriage with him. Naturally, I am just a woman who wants to have him legally both outwardly and bathiniyah. In early 2017, I prayed to God that my heart and my heart could be united in the sacred bond of marriage. But in the middle of the month, I made him so angry. Either I always beat myself up if I ever hurt his heart because of my anger. I'm angry because I love you, I'm worried about the situation and the health. But I was wrong when I could not control my emotions, because I knew he was a man whose heart was very soft and delicate. I always apologized to him that I was wrong. I quickly fixed myself, and I promised I would never hurt her again until the end of my life.

For the sake of getting his forgiveness, I would go to Jakarta to find his house and meet him. At that time I only armed with tahajud prayer and mother prayer. My mother loved him so much. My mother loved him like her own son. Almost my entire family expected him to be someone who could stand by me forever. But God tests us, God loves me and him. God found me with him in his house, despite almost waiting 2 days to be able to meet him. Because from the beginning I just wanted to meet him to explain the problem and fix a relationship. I met him with my mother, that's where the two families met and grew up. I knew the kindness of her mother and her family that day. Her mother was so dear to me, she gave her best advice for the good of my relationship with her.

When I met him, I looked into his eyes. I heard all his advice with an open mind. And I still cringe to recede and submit to his words. Because I understood that I was wrong, seeing and accompanying him to eat, I was happy and felt that I was still in his heart. All his advice is for the good of both of us, when the problem comes, God gives us the opportunity to improve each other so that later when God unites our hearts, we have become husband and wife Sholeh & sholehah and the best parents for our children.

And this love will be anchored to the prayer to the Khalik and the Heart-reverser. The prayers we pray every day will be high and the servant will wait for the beautiful story. Love will remain the same for the same person and the same belief that our prayers will be affirmed by God at the right time. Because prayer can change the destiny of man if it continues to be offered in times of mustajab.
