The charm of Ayra Khairunnisa
192 Leads Lilis and Nurul to Kali Bening
The intention of Lilis who wanted to be in the boarding school was round. It also made Nurul's second sister Aisha also wanted to participate in studying at the boarding school Umi Laila. The youngest Alifah is still 10 years old, he is afraid if he has to be in the cottage. So Rafi and Aisha keep letting the youngest stay with them in Rafi's apartment.
That morning Aisha and Rafi who had taken care of the letter moved her two sisters-in-law, drove her two sisters to Kyai Rohim Pesantren Cottage. Ayra also drove in a different car.
Upon arrival at the boarding school, Kyai Rohim is in class. So Aisha invited her friend to chat at the residence of Umi and Abinya. When going to walk to the residence Umi Laila many santriwati who passed by look so polite. Even they lowered their gaze and stopped letting Umi Laila and her Guests pass by.
Arriving at the terrace of Umi Laila's house made by Lesehan, they have been welcomed several jars of food and mineral water in cup packaging have been presented. Lilis who from earlier saw such a strange thing. How can any child be so polite towards the wife of his kyai.
"Sister Ay. Why did they seem to be so scared of Umi Laila when we came?"
Ayra laughed a little. He gave some cups of mineral water and opened a jar containing snacks.
"Let's drink first, the same tasting it's typical cake Kali Bening. Her ashes are finished soon."
Umi Laila allows her guests to taste what is always available on the terrace of the house. Almost every day, guests come.
Ayra answered Lilis' question earlier which was so confused because she considered Santriwati's attitude that had been lowered and let Umi Laila pass by with them stopped being considered a fear.
"So this is Lis, we are not living in the days of the prophet and his companions. So to understand the Quran and Hadith we cannot directly learn on our own. We need a teacher here Kyai. So then
The respect that the sisters show is not because Kyai is scary or deifying. But Kyai is respected thousands, even tens of thousands of students, and the community around the pesantren, because of his knowledge."
"What kind of science, brother?"
"Many, such as Arabic, jurisprudence, logic, Sufism. The knowledge provided is also not limited to knowledge, but also forms the personality of Santri. Santri understands how ethics respect the old and young. They understand how to behave toward others, including strangers. And one good adab despite its knowledge."
Nurul was interested in asking.
"Ustadz with Kyai bed?"
"Hehehe.... Much the same. Ustaz it is in Arabic if Kyai in Javanese.Kiai pure born from Nusantara language. Kiai is someone who nurtures, guides, and gives his knowledge to students in pesantren."
Lilis asked again while waiting for Kyai Rohim who was still teaching the children.
"If what cleric?
"The old is from the word al ‘alim, meaning a knowledgeable person or person who knows, which is taken from the root of the word which means 'know clearly'."
"That means that all who are knowledgeable can be called ulama sak?"
Ayra stopped sucking the mineral water that was in her cup.
"I can't dong. The cleric is a figure whose knowledge is manifested in his behavior. Always guide the people and should be used as suri tauladan. If you see a cold heart. If you hear the fatwa, your heart is calm. If it's not like that, it can't be called a Ulama"
Lilis who from earlier listened again asked.
"Yes. Syar'i shirt is called syar’un. Coming to Indonesia as a sarong. We use santri as a sarungan, just like we read Surah Yasin contained in the Quran, in Indonesia if read together as Yasinan."
Lilis asked Ayra again. Aisha's sister's spirit is so big.
"Well what if someone says he can't yasinan now?"
"Well this klo brother replied with the language of the brother from the corner of the nation and state yes, later if you have gone here. You will find the answer to why there are some who declare haram or heresy. Let's see our nation is so great, but we are not at war with our fellow citizens.
That is because from the ancient founding fathers of our nation, the earlier scholars they put forward equality not difference. So now let it be if something is not the same as our understanding. No need to force to be equated especially until blasphemy arises. Understood?"
"Understanding, it means that we must also not blaspheme those who do not like our practice."
"Rubber. Take care of our good name, our parents, our teachers, our religion by all our actions. Because when we do bad deeds, not only do we get the effect, but also our parents, our teachers, and maybe other religions will also judge our religion. Brother just order one later. If indeed Lilis and Nurul were given a good understanding of religious science. First, do not forget the same teachers, parents and understanding of the science of religion not to judge others but to yourself."
"I mean brother?"
Umi Laila tried to answer.
"Lilis and Nurul want to hear the story?,"
"You're Umi."
Two children whose mother had just died.
"So there's a story about Sayyidina Ali Zainal Abidin. When he died, not many of his brothers mourned because he was considered miserly. In fact, he really likes to share his wealth. However, his generosity during his life that was done secretly only revealed after he died. Because Madina residents feel the loss of people who often worship secretly after Sayyidina Ali died.
Previously many people misunderstood Sayyidina Ali Zainal Abidin, including his own family.he was considered miserly and liked to collect property. Though his possessions were used to give alms every night in secret. Therefore, we must not understand the science of religion and then our knowledge to judge others."
Rafi mangosteen he felt amazed, just a few minutes sitting in that place he had gained some knowledge. The waiting one finally came home and received the two Aisha sisters. Kyai Rohim receives new santriwati. However, Rafi and Aisha were asked to keep their siblings enrolled in public or private schools located near the boarding school. And told Aisha's two sisters.
"Lilis and Nurul Ndak need to think about tomorrow so what yes. The important thing is to focus on teaching. Let God make. Must study hard so that mom and dad are happy there."
Lilis and Nurul nodded. Ayra and Umi Laila take Aisha's two sisters to the room where they slept while they were there.
Then Kyai Rohim looked at Rafi and Aisha.
"Rafi and Aisha you're Abi's boy friends. So Abi just want to give spirit to you especially Alifah said he did not want to go to bed. Because the limit of children called orphans is a maximum of 15 years old.
One of the words of Prophet Muhammad. 'That is, whoever bears (nurtures) and guarantees the life of an orphan, in Heaven will be side by side with the Apostle like two fingers, index, and ring finger'. Take care and protect your brothers. The protection that Islam teaches is its material, its affection, and also their spiritual protection."
"God willing, Mr. Kyai."
