Similar But Not the Same
Chapter 21
At the time the guardian read Surat Al-Fatihah, that's when this young man was not satisfied with the reading makhraj al-Qur’an judged less eloquent.How is it possible guardian, makhraj Al Fatehanya reading is not good, not good, how could I possibly be his disciple?” the young man who intended to undo his intention to study to the guardian.
After that, the young man left without excuse. However, as soon as he came out, he was immediately confronted by a savage desert lion. The lion roared loudly as if he was going to prey on the young man. Frightened, the young man backed away. But behind him was another desert lion who stood in his way. The young man was stuck in the middle without being able to do anything.Finally, the young man screamed loudly in fear. As soon as he heard the screams from outside, the guardian immediately descended out leaving his assembly. The guardian looked at the two savage desert lions and said to the lions: “O lion, have I not told you never to disturb my guests.” It is miraculous that the two lions that originally looked ferocious then sat down in front of the guardian.
The guardian then stroked the ears of the two lions and told them to leave. After the two ferocious beasts had completely left, the young man felt astonished. “How can you conquer such wild lions?” ask young man.“Young man, all this time I was busy paying attention to the affairs of my heart. For years I tried to organize my heart so that I could not prejudge others. For my busy life to conquer my heart, Allah SWT has conquered the whole universe to me. All the wild beasts here including that savage desert lion, all bowed to me,” explained the guardian.The young young man only fell silent in shame. However, on the other hand he so admires the karomah owned by the guardian. “You know your shortcomings, young man?” said wali. “No teacher,” replied the young man.
All this time you have been busy paying attention to external things until you have almost forgotten to pay attention to your heart, therefore you are afraid of the entire universe,” explained the guardian. The young man finally abandoned his intention to leave. He sets his heart to be a guardian disciple.
Eeuee spoke the Guardian down the street, going without direction and purpose. He just walked and walked, forgot to eat and drink. The guardians wanted to avoid the people who were starting to know his position. Starting many people now who call him kiai there are even openly disturbing the guardian.Life Guardians now looks crowded. There are people who need help, about a mate, a seller or just ask for a barokah do'a. And the most severe is if anyone asks to be recognized as a student. Wali felt disturbed, he wanted to feel the life that used to be known only as a perfumed oil seller, or teacher alif ba' ta' teacher in his small musholla.
And now many people are competing to build the prayer. Though the Guardian was eager to avoid all of that. He was indifferent to all the compliments addressed to him, especially since the arrival of angels who visited recently.Wali began to enter the wilderness. He walked on and stopped when he saw in front of him there was a river. Approached by the river lips, seen the water so clear. He lowered his head and began to wash his hands and face, then the Guardian renewed his wudhunya. The guardian is given the ability by God always in a sacred mind (punya wudhu) or his paran-paran naji sak language: "da'imul wudhu"
After ablution, the new Guardian realized that far across there, there was a person who seemed to be fishing. The guardian approached the man. He felt that person was not careless. Looking at his face alone, suddenly the Wali's heart grew more serene. The guardian wants to say hello but first the person.
"Assalamu'alaikum,vali".
"Greetings, if you may know who you are?" The guardian starts asking.
"For now my name is F" he replied.
Wali fell silent. He just looked down at the answer of the person. And suddenly the attitude of the Guardian changed by itself without realizing it. The guardian acted as if confronting his teacher. Sampeyan guardians shouldn't have avoided all that.
But the Guardian is getting lower. It turns out that the person who is fishing knows the turmoil of himself to have to walk without direction.Wali, avoiding the compliments is the same as denying the power of God because the canoean feel unable. And it is God who gives strength" he continued F. The guardian could only stay still and get lower. Tears are starting to melt. "Remember, La Haula wala quwwata illa billah. Feeling capable and feeling incapable should not be. It is part of the shirk of khofi (vague) for a person of the same level because God gives strength, God covers everything".
The guardian cried. He was sure that the person in front of him was Nabiyullah Khidir. He wanted to shake hands with her to make sure. After her crying subsided, her face was lifted. But the man who claimed to be named F was gone from before him.
After meeting the figure of F, Wali was still silent in his seat, still contemplating the speech of the mysterious figure that moved his soul.
The guardian stood up to clean his seat and began to pray. After the greeting, the Guardian stood up again and performed the prayer again, so it continued until the night approximately around 9 p.m. The guardian stopped and continued with dhikr and wirid.
He sat down cross-legged, focused his mind, threw away thoughts about the world, moved his heart to stay true to himself, and somehow this happened. Before long, the Guardians felt the surrounding nature so hollow, there was no sound. Everything was so pitch black. The guardian seemed to be a hollow air and moved around this pitch-black realm.
After walking around, it appeared that in front of him were two human figures sitting like a holy man praying, and standing beside them a glowing white-robed figure. The Guardian recognized one of the figures sitting in front of him."Unmistakably, he is the Imam Ghazali Mujtahid of Islam, "the inner Wali.The figure in white clothes stepped forward and said something to the invisible object in front of him, "Gusti, what is the genealogy of your two lovers, the Prophet Moses and Al-Ghazali," he said.
Then there was a voice that said from the outside:
"Prophet Moses, with my permission, he can bring to life the dead. But I prefer Al-Ghazali because with my permission, he can revive the hearts of my dead servants. He removed much ignorance and paved the way for my servants to get to know me better".
The three figures faintly disappeared from the Wali's sight. The goals of the dawn Adhan sound, little by little nature begins to look back. After the prayer, the Guardian got up and went back home.
