The Journey of the Love of the Haram Child
Chapter 24 The Motivation of Patience
The hot afternoon is now cool because of the sholawat chanting in the mosque where Misela lectures. The mosque was filled with worshipers of the student lecturers and students of the campus.
After the wiridan finished Dzakir who had been praying Dzuhur and sholawatan now prepared to give the cult as usual.
Dzakir stood in the pulpit.
Assalamu'alaikum warahmatulli.
Bismilbornrahmanirahim…
Alhamdulillaahi robbil ‘aalamiin wassholatu wassalamu ‘ala asyrafil anbiya’i wal mursaliin sayyidina wamaulana Muhammadin wa ‘ala alihi wa shahbihi ajma’du, amma ba’du.
On this occasion I will give a short talk about patience.
Patience is to establish oneself in obedience to Him, to refrain from an act of disobedience to Him and to guard against feelings and attitudes of anger in the face of God's destiny.
Every believer must be patient in carrying out the commandments of Allah SWT even though it feels heavy. Various things that hinder and become obstacles every believer is not a reason for him to ignore the commandments of Allah SWT. Likewise with the sincere feeling in undergoing worship because of Allah SWT.
As the word of Allah SWT in QS. Al Baqarah verse 153 reads:
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اسْتَعِيْنُوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلٰوةِ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ
That is, “Oh you who believe! Please help Allah with patience and prayer. Verily Allah is with those who are patient.”
Not only that, Allah SWT also explained that He loved His servant who was always patient as described in QS. Ali Imrah verse 146 follows.
وَاللّٰهُ يُحِبُّ الصّٰبِرِيْنَ
That is, “And Allah loves those who are patient.”
Somehow we refuse and complain about the test, still he will stop in the lives of all of us.
For that, so that this test can bear fruit and reward and lift our degrees, then the only way is to be patient and sincerely face it.
Because by being patient, the test will be interpreted as a gift. And that is the cause of our happiness to live in the world and in the hereafter.
That is the short talk I can give. Hopefully what I have said can be useful for all of us.
Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi.
And the worshippers shook hands with Dzakir and then passed.
After listening to the cult of Dzakir Misela's heart seemed to be calm and peaceful. He has received a lot of patience tests.
Dzakir's voice and short talk strengthened Misela's heart.
That's what Misela needs. Misela needs a sedative figure in her life. The figure that always makes her comfortable every day. But Misela still did not realize the figure of Dzakir. Dzakir had approached Misela for a long time. Misela still considered that the feeling was only rear admiration.
After tidying up his prayer kit Misela and Erlina rushed home. But Dzakir kept Misela out of the mosque.
"Assalamu'alaikum Misela." Sapa Dzakir's.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." Answer Misela.
"Gue first is a cell." Erlina.
"Yes Er." answered Misela.
"Why don't you face me. Doesn't the thesis have to be finished soon." Ask Dzakir.
"Sorry Sir. I'll face you when I get to chapter five. For a while we never met you, sir."
"Why did you say that from yesterday?"
"I just want the gossip on this campus to subside, sir. I don't want to cause much slander."
"meaning?"
"I'll excuse you sir. It's not good we talk like this. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
And suddenly a beautiful girl came in to greet Dzakir.
Misela, who was about to leave, has her legs restrained and her gaze on Selyn.
"Selyn watch your words. How come you can be here? And what did you mean just now?" Dzakir was shocked by Slyn's words just now.
"Loh Mas Dzakir how the hell is one more campus gosipin he kok Mas do not know. He said that Misela is an illegitimate child. Children born outside of marriage. She also said Misela was divorced from her husband because her husband was poor. Iihhh amit-amit deh has temen kayak him. Must be fucking, right? Bad nature must have descended from her mother." Clearly Sellyn was on Dzakir while glancing around at Misela who was still standing in the doorway.
"Take your word Sellyn. Why do you know that rumor?" Dzakir began to suspect. Because the fact is Sellyn always troublemaking.
Selyn Anastasia is the daughter of a Regent in Lampung. She has just completed her bachelor degree at a renowned University in Jakarta. Slyn and Dzakir have actually been betrothed. But Dzakir always avoids Slyn with the reason to get to know each other. But Sellyn is a selfish girl. He always does things not wear to fulfill his will.
"I have to ask the same questions of the children here Mas Dzakir. Because I was suspicious of him because a lot of people were staring at him here. Describe the bad nature of his mother down to his son Mas. I amit-amit deh." Selyn was a bit nervous about Dzakir's question.
Misela, who could not stand the words of Slyn, passed from the mosque. Misela wants to cry as hard as possible but she can stand it as much as possible because she is still in the campus environment. Not to mention that he had just listened to Dzakir's cult of patience.
"So what are you here for?" Ask Dzakir back.
"Mas Dzakir I learned how to cook. So I brought lunch for Mas. Hehe tried it out, Mas."
"I'm sorry today is Thursday. I am fasting sunah. So you just go home not nice to see the others because you are not a student here. I want to go first. Be careful on the road. Assalamu'alaikum."
"You're going to go that way." Selyn grumbled but Dzakir did not stop his footsteps.
"I'm so fucking shit. Why forget it's Thursday."
Finally, Slyn went home with her anger. But when the car will drive again Sellyn saw Misela was chatting with campus idol Hilman.
"Widow is crazy to find prey. I'm not the same problem anyone who he decetin but be careful to dare he deketin my future husband. I won't hesitate to teach you a lesson."
After using it, Sellyn went from the green campus.
"Misela wait...!" Hilman shouted to stop Misela who was about to come out of the gate.
"You know what else I told you I didn't do anything." Misela was a little upset because Hilman followed her since leaving the mosque.
"How is your right hand better?"
"God willing, it is you."
"Make hitting people strong yet?"
"What do you mean by Hilman?"
"Misela you are now living in this area yesterday I was horrified by many crimes that have occurred lately so do not let you go out of the mall alone ya."
"Yes, thank you for ngingetin. But I have to be home soon I'll be in college."
"Please take care of yourself, Misela."
"Yes Ka assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
Not yet Misela stepped away from Hilman the arrival of two girls greeting Hilman.
"Eh Ka Hilman really wants to know her. Geez Ka is still many times the girl who wants to be the same Ka Hilman."
"Because don't be so close he says he's a lot of shit."
Hilman just smiled in response to them and left. However, Hilman is the only person who knows the sweetness and bitterness of Misela's life so she does not care about the rumors that are circulating.
While Misela immediately accelerated her steps pretending not to hear the words of the two girls.
