The Former Cassanova
Penance

“Aujubilahiminaitoni rojeem. Bismilahirohmaniroheem.” Mama and Papa Deka are learning to teach iqro with Ustaz Arif.

“Audzubillahiminassyaitonirrojiim says. Bismilbornrohmanirrohiim.” Ustaz Arif corrected the recitation, then Mama and Papa followed as Ustaz Arif recited.

“Sa ba ta, ba ta sa, a ba ta sa.”

“If for hijaiyah letters that are shaped like a boat with three dots above it is read ‘tsa’ instead of ‘sa’. Must be distinguished makhrajnya, because later a few steps forward will meet the letter sin, read ‘sa’. If the letter makhraj ‘tsa’ is located on the tip of the tongue with the tip of the upper series teeth. The way of pronunciation is the tip of the tongue slightly removed, the tongue meets the tip of the tooth. Tsa tsa tsa, so,” Ustaz Arif.

“Tsa tsa.” Mama and Papa imitate the recited Ustaz Arif.

“Nah, so true. Nice,” praise Ustaz Arif. Seemed a look of joy from the faces of the parents of Deka because the reading was right.

“Keep us to the next page. What letter is this?” ask Ustaz Arif while pointing to a letter jim.

“This ha,” replied Mr. Satya.

“Ih, no, Pah. Ha mah who has no point. This ho yes, Ustaz?” sahut Mom.

Ustaz Arif smiled. “This letter is jim, Mr. Mother.”

“Oh, jim. Yes, forgot.”

“Try reading.”

“A to ja. Tsa a ja's. A ta ja .... “ Mama and Papa read a few pages iqro 1 until finally closed with shodaqollohuladzim.

“Alhamdulillah, tonight we learn to teach again. Pak Satya and Bu Satya have been better at reciting the letters,” said Ustaz Arif.

“Pak Ustaz, when can I roughly read Al-Qur’an?” ask Papa.

“God willing if you regularly learn, it will be fast, Mr. Satya,” said the ustaz.

“My husband is already impatient to leave for Hajj, Taz,” timpal Mama.

“Masyaallah, thank God, good it.”

“But if I have not been able to teach how I want to go on Hajj. Will my Hajj be accepted, Mr Ustaz?” ask Papa.

Pak Satya's question coincides with the presence of the newly joined Deka. He sat down and listened to Ustaz Arif.

“Verily every charity depends on intention. So said the Prophet. That is, whether it is accepted or not and whether or not a practice depends on its intentions, not the case or not of the practice,” said Ustaz Arif.

“Tuh, Pah, horrified! Papa wants to go on Hajj what is his intention?” deka Timbrung.

Papa scratched his head twice. “What yes??”

“Niatlah every charity and charity of our worship only because of God,” said Ustaz Arif.

“Oh so, yes.” Papa mangosteen.

Then created a question and answer conversation about the religion of Islam. Papa and Mama asked a lot about the basic science of fiction. Their questions are critical too.

Like for example, "Why does the fart cancel out the wudu? ***** that fart why is it washed not the anus, but the limbs that are used for tart like hands, face and so on?"

"According to Imam an-Nawawi, the fart cancels ablution if someone believes that he really farted. Therefore, if we doubt fart or not, then the wudhunya is not void.

The fart must have passed through the anal canal, where to pass stool, aka stool. If you urinate or remove feces from ***** it invalidates ablution, then fart is the same as canceling ablution.

We can imagine, a man who wants to meet his idol must prepare himself so neatly and fragrant, so if we want to face God also we must be clean, the time is up farting, well, pray ga wudu again.

People who are given fart do not like even angry people, right?"

After almost three hours, the teaching session was over. My mom and dad continued other activities. While Deka was still sitting with Ustaz Arif. Deka deliberately kept the ustaz from going home, because there was something he wanted to tell. Exactly want to vent.

“Pak Ustaz, I feel my worship is not accepted by Allah.” Deka spoke with his head down. He seemed to be overwhelmed with how he felt.

“Astagfirullahaladzim. Why does Bang Deka feel like that?”

“I am a sinful man, Ustaz. If the highest in the universe is the sky, my sin may exceed that high. If the most extensive in the universe is the earth, my sin may exceed the area of the earth.”

“Allah the Al-Gofur the Most Forgiving. And Allah is Most Merciful. Bang Deka should not be discouraged. God's forgiveness is very wide. In fact, the human mind is not necessarily able to illustrate how vast God's forgiveness is. If a servant truly repents, be assured that Allah will forgive all the sins of the servant Deka listened intently to Ustaz Arif's words.

“There is a hadith that sounds like this. ‘Every child of Adam must have done wrong and the best of those who make mistakes are those who want to repent’

There is a question like this, ‘Why does God still turn me on today?’ Imam ghazali replied ‘Because my sins are too much and God still allows me to repent’

Ali bin Abi Talib once said, ‘The sin that makes you sad and sorry is preferred by God than the good deeds that make you arrogant’

Bang Deka is already good for feeling sinful, but remember! never give up the mercy and forgiveness of Allah.

No matter how dark our past, while we are still alive, we still have the opportunity to become a member of heaven. Never give up hope to change and seek forgiveness from Allah.” Wide exposure length Ustaz Arif.

“Astagfirullah, forgive me, Ustaz,” Deka said.

Ustaz Arif pats Deka's shoulder. “Bang Deka ever pray penitent?”

Deka. “Not yet. What and how is prayer penitent?” tanyakanya.

“Solat penitent is a sunnah prayer made by a Muslim when he wants to repent of the mistakes he has done.”

“Teach me penitent, Ustaz!” please Deka.

“Good, I will teach you penitent prayers. May by performing penitential prayer, Bang Deka's heart be calmer and no longer despair of Allah's forgiveness.”

“Amins. Please guide me, Ustaz."

“Before penitent prayers. Don't forget to shower first.” Ustaz Arif reminded

“Iya, Ustaz. Teach me bath and prayer repentance,” beg Deka with a twinkle of hope in his eyes.
