Special Maid For Om Duda
The Way Came Not Knowing the Place

"What prayer should be in the mosque?" david asked again, the more he got an answer, the more curiosity in his heart.

"No, pray anywhere, God can also grant, the prayer granted by Allah is not always when we pray in the mosque only. There is also God's blessing when we pray on the vehicle, on the road or anywhere."

"Then, if God can grant a prayer when we are anywhere, why go to that place to pray?"

A smile shaded from the lips of the man who had a white scab.

"Honestly I'd rather we discuss this issue than the poly-tic problem." The man sat down beside David in a relaxed manner.

"Keep the answer to my question what? Why do people prefer to pray in a mosque than anywhere else, if you say that praying anywhere can be granted?" ask David again who is increasingly curious about the answer.

"I'm sorry if I'm not mistaken, your religion is Islam, right?" the man asked back, and was immediately answered by a powerful and passionate nod by David.

"There are places that mustajab to pray and one of them is in the mosque, why we are more encouraged to pray in the mosque, while anywhere we can pray. Since the mosque is a gathering place of many virtues, many people make it a place of kindness every day, are prayed for every day, and the serenity of the heart when the feet step on the mosque will be felt."

"But did you say that the prayer in the mosque is not necessarily granted, it could even be that elsewhere that is granted, then why come to the mosque?" David is the one who should be explained by the new sense he believes in what others believe.

"That is the excitement, if our prayers are directly granted with God when going to the mosque, then people will immediately come to the mosque all just to pray and immediately leave without obeying the other commands of God. We as human beings will forget our duty when we get what we want, as well as prayer. God tests us by delaying our prayers, choosing what is best for us. So when we do not pray directly God will grant, but God first selection what you ask is best for you or not?"

"For instance?" ask David again.

"If you come to the Masjid, pray to you, 'O Lord I ask for rain, the weather today is very hot' Then you go outside the Masjid and continue the journey, sitting tired. And you pray again, 'O Lord thirsty once try there's an iceman passing by'. Not long after you finish praying to see the Iceman you are passing by. And your prayers are more welcome on the roadside, because all you need is one glass of ice for thirst relief instead of a lot of rainwater. So that God will grant your prayers not the ones in the Mosque."

David kept quiet for a long time and did not ask again.

"Do you want to try to carry out the obligation? Prayer?" asked the man again, when he saw that David seemed to want to do his duty as a Muslim.

David turned his face to the man beside him.

"I was never taught to do an obligation, even his prayers I could not," David answered softly.

A shady smile was engraved on the face of the man wearing the peci.

"Alhamdulilah, you just want to pray alone already get a reward, even though you do not know how, as well as the reading. Especially if you want to learn, God will be very happy."

David looked back at the man with a blank look.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you what I can. I am neither an ustadz nor an expert in religion, but someone who wants to do good does not have to be an expert because if it is an expert it is usually his job to correct mistakes."

David just lowered his head and played his fingers that linked to each other.

"But I am an inmate, is the person who holds the status of inmate worth doing all that?" ask David again.

And there was a pretty crisp laugh from the guy in the sneak.

"May I tell you a story?"

David nodded with resignation.

David looked at the man with an increasingly curious look. "I don't know" David replied briefly and softly.

"Fatty percent is a person who is really evil, in his heart you could say there is a disorder, that is he if not evil can not live, for example stealing, stealing, he made stealing for a living, assuming he could not live without doing it all, and there would be satisfaction after doing it, and there was a curiosity about other crimes, even though in prison free he will do it again. Thirty percent of bad people are forced, they are forced to commit those crimes because of the economy, money is usually the main factor. thirty percent more he who became the victim of other crimes, many I found a case like this, but again this life is a choice if you want to repent and improve yourself, he said, in prison, that too can come. Hidayat does not always come in a beautiful and holy place. Don't be ashamed if there's a former prisoner. Precisely what is so inmates is not all bad, not everyone is tattooed criminals, not all who live in the cottage is also good."

"So if I want to learn to pray will God forgive?" david asked this time there was a smile of spirit on his handsome face. So handsome he was as an inmate, even David seemed to be the most handsome inmate. Many whispered 'Darlingly handsome but in prison'.

"Sure dong. Allah prefers a repentant servant. And Allah forgives God for His repentance. So when will you start learning prayer?" challenge the guy with the sneak.

David was silent.

"Now want to?"

David seemed surprised by the question of the man sitting next to him with iron bars.

"Sa. I'm not ready yet" replied David stammeringly.

"Why?" asked the man in a disappointed tone. "Wait what else, good intentions, preferably hastened," he added.

"So, I'm still ashamed to start."

"Thy? Malulah when we sin, but proud, not ashamed to start for good."

"I don't have the worship equipment you've got." David pointed to what the man was wearing.

"Later I'll buy it for you, as a gift, as long as you don't have your own, you can wear mine."

"Borrow?" ask David.

"If you want I can give it too."

"Are you not going to laugh at me because I can't pray?" david asked doubtfully.

"Why should be laughed at, learning it does not have to be small. who converts they even learn when they are adults, who are old and many are still willing to learn. Never be ashamed to learn because here everything is also not directly good at worship. Not infrequently I taught the inmates who could not recite prayers, but now he became a devout Muslim."

"I want to learn from now on." David will confidently learn what prayer is, maybe with him starting to get closer to Allah, he will feel peace in him.

"Thank God, I'm so glad to hear it."

David also after spending two hours learning to memorize his movements, finally the first prayer he runs is praying Isa with four raka'at with a notebook in his hand.

The man also felt that in prison was not so scary, and he wanted to stay longer in that place. So that he will confess his crime so that he can get more knowledge.

#I'm sorry if something went wrong in the explanation. Corrections if wrong.
