THE NEGLECTED PEARL FOR ADAM
CHAPTER 21. TRYING TO WAKE UP

Muti ventured to rebuke the Sultan, because reminding is the duty of a Muslim to other Muslims, let alone this husband who should be an imam in the household.

Prayer is the duty of every Muslim who should not be abandoned. Even in the condition of not being able to stand or sit even though, as long as you still have awareness, then prayer is still an obligation that should not be missed.

But unfortunately, a lot of Muslims who are currently abandoning prayer deliberately even though he does not have any obstacles. How does the law remind people to pray?

In Islam, a Muslim does have an obligation to remind other Muslims in terms of kindness. Allah Ta’ala says,

"You are the best people born to man, enjoins upon the ma’ruf, and prevents from being foolish, and believing in Allah.” (QS. Ali Imron: 110)

"And help you in (doing) virtue and piety, and do not help in sinning and transgressing.” (QS. Al-Maydah: 2)

"And he was among those who believed and advised each other to be patient and advised each other to love.” (QS. Al-Balad, 90:17).

"For the sake of time, all men are in loss. Except those who believe, and do good deeds, and counsel one another in truth, and (advice one another) in patience.” (Al Ashr: 1-3).

"And let there be among you a multitude that calls upon virtue, enjoins upon the ma'ruf and prevents from the poor; they are the fortunate ones (Ali ‘Imran:104)

"Who is better than he who calls on Allah, does good deeds, and says: Am I among those who give up? (Fussilet: 33)

Responding to the above verses, Muti did not care if the Sultan was angry, at least she had tried to resuscitate her husband about the main obligations of a Muslim.

Muti approached the sofa where the Sultan was still lying down, then he said, "Why Kak? Did your sister's body ache because she slept on the couch last night? Then I'm sorry. I was wrong, had used the bed of Kak Sultan," Muti said.

"Oh, yes Kak, mumpung is awake and the time is still there, berwudhu lah Kak, and pray. It's still there, I haven't folded. After the prayer, let me massage while waiting for our breakfast to come, "pinta Muti while pointing towards the prayer rug that is still unfolding.

The sultan stared intently at Muti, then said, "Don't you think, after I was being nice to you last night, now with as good as your heart, you're playing your orders!" serami Sultan's.

Muti stroked his chest, but the Sultan's heart was still closed, and he said, "It is not I who commanded Brother, but Allah! He who created us and all this world and he who is the power to destroy and make every living thing die.

In the Quran, verse 21, Allah commands all His people to always worship and worship only him. In fact, each of the apostles began his preaching with a call to his people to worship and worship Allah alone.

"Remember Brother! we are all going to die and no one knows when. It could be today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next year. Are you ready to face nature after death? Is according to brother, the provisions that Brother will bring to death are enough?" ask Mutia.

"Sister, after death does not mean that our lives are finished, deceased humans will be revived on the day of the apocalypse and counted his deeds as a record of whether they go to heaven or hell" said Mutia.

"However, there are several stages of life that we must live before we can enter heaven or hell.

Natural Grave or Natural Barzah

After the death of humans, they will move to the grave or barzakh realm.

In the grave, we will meet the angels Munkar and Nakir who will ask about religion.

Angels Munkar and Nakir will ask us, who is our God, what religion we believe in, what books we read, and who is our Prophet.

Man will remain in the grave until the trumpet rings.

Resurrection Day

After the trumpet is sounded by the angel Israfil, the world will experience the apocalypse and all living things in the world will be destroyed.

Then the angel Israfil will blow back the second trumpet that will raise up all living things in the world.

The second trumpet signifies the day the resurrection began.

Mahsyar Field

After being resurrected, we will be gathered not on earth but in the great field.

Mahsyar field is a very large and dry flat place with the sun is only one inch from our head and continues to shine this field.

The first angel serves as a companion to humans, while the second angel serves as a witness to our actions in the world.

Yaumul Mizan or Weighing Day

After being raised in the holy field, man will be gathered according to his Prophet.

We will line up and wait for yaumul mizan or the day of weighing when our practice is weighed both good and bad.

If man weighs more on his good charity scales, he will get salvation.

Meanwhile, if the scales weigh more bad charity, it will get wretched.

Yaumul Hisab or Day of Calculation

Charity of human deeds is then counted in the jaumul hisab or the day of reckoning.

It is written in the Qur’an letter Al-Ghashiyah 25:26 which reads:

Allah said, “Truly to Us is their return, then surely Our duty will be to punish them.”

The man who is being counted for his deeds will be divided into two Kak, namely the easy hisab and the difficult hisab.

According to Ahmad's hadith, Rasullullah saw.

Here it sounds:

“Then from Aisyah r.a. she asked about what is an easy hisab. Rasullullah saw. then replied “Allah showed his book (servant) then God forgave him just like that. Whoever is troubled by his reckoning, will surely perish.” (CHR. Ahmed)

Shirathol Mustaqim Bridge

This bridge is said to have a width as small as a hair and difficult to pass.

Those who cross this bridge will go to heaven, while those who fall will go to hell.

For a man whose scales of charity are high, he will easily cross this bridge.

Meanwhile, a man whose scales of charity will have little difficulty crossing this bridge.

Heaven and Hell

Heaven is the best place to return. In heaven, we never experience sorrow, suffering, and misery.

Heaven was created by God for his people who do good deeds and have clean hearts.

Meanwhile, hell is as bad a place to return and is filled with torture, sadness, and misery.

Those who do evil will live in hell in return for the evil they do in the world.

"That is my brother, Allah has confirmed everything in the Qur'an. So brother, take time even if only briefly to teach, understand what the contents contained in the holy book of the Quran. Take advantage of technological advances, wherever we are we can learn," Muti said.

"Already! you're done with the lecture! Why don't you just become an ustadzah, so many listen to your lectures outside there. Rather than here you preach, it means nothing to me" said the Sultan, standing up and grabbing his bath towel and walking into the bathroom.

Muti shook his head, then said, "Astaghfirullah hal'adzim. O God, open the door of my husband's heart, I want him to be my good priest, who will take me to Your heaven. Aamiin.." said Muti while folding the prayer mat.

It is a challenge for people who want kindness, but Muti will not back down, she will not give up on inviting her husband to be a good person and hope that one day the Sultan can help spread kindness for the family, he said, friends and others in need.
