❤ Happy reading ❤

***

Ida continued to stare at the woman before her with teary eyes. He knows how Asthma feels. Their feelings are the same. In the past, stuck in something terrible. Often people judge and scorn women like them, as if they were innocent people.

Didn't they know that women like him and Asthma aren't as bad as they think they are? experiencing inner upheaval when committing zina. Everyone knows that humans are wrong and wrong. A story of the Companions that tells of two angels whom God commanded to come down to earth. Being human. At the end of the story they fornicate with comfort women. But the white or good side is always present in the human soul. When you make a mistake and realize that it is wrong and regret it with all your heart. That is the white side of man speaking.

Ida hugged Asma when she saw the body of the woman who had the blue eye bead was shaking at the end of the story. Asthma in Ida's arms.

"Cry as much as you Asthma, we are the same ...."

In the end. Two women with the same fate line hugged each other and cried. The shadow of the past continues to haunt. At any rate try to forget and move towards the Divine path.

Asthma takes off her embrace on Ida's body slowly. Then take off the khimar and veil that was wet because of her tears. Ida looked at Asthma's face. A small and cute face with blue eye beads like the ocean. The nose is reddish because after crying. Wet lentic eyelashes and both eyebrows curled neatly and thickly.

For a moment they were silent to each other. Asthma who was still down with occasional tears fell back and Ida who continued to pay attention to the cute face of Asthma.

"Do I look hypocritical Da?" the voice of Asthma is still shaking. Like trying to hold a fast.

"Not Asthma, the past is the past. I've always convinced myself that women like us can have a wonderful future. Can you imagine a normal life where we have a family? A small family with jealous men and sweet children. I dreamt it was Asthma ...."

Asthma looked at the beautiful woman before her. Ida's eyes sparkled beautifully when conveying her dream. Makes Asthma gasp. Asthma never dreamed of such a thing. He knows enough that he is not worthy of any man. The desire of Asthma is only one. God forgave his sins in the past. That'sallthatis.

"I just want forgiveness from God." Asthma's voice slowly and gently. Ida looked at Asma.

"I tried to strengthen myself, although the shadow of my past often flashed back, regret immediately hit my heart and made pain in the heart, had thought to break the pulse but I got my strength back. I choose to endure and head for the Divine path."

"You know? I've tried to kill myself."

Sahutan Ida makes Asthma gasp. He looked at the woman before him with a look of disbelief.

"But failed. My housekeeper saved me. At first I was angry, of course. But then I was happy and very grateful to him. Because besides that cowardly act I also know that suicide is not allowed our religion." Asthma could see the woman before her was more fragile than him. But he fortified himself with joy. Joking and laughter from Ida's thin lips.

"From now on we will stay together until we age and Inshaa Allah when we meet in heaven" Ida said with a sweet smile.

Now, he actually has a friend like Ida who seems extroverted. The two women then spent time together. Cooking for their dinner in Astma's room. Occasionally in the interlude of small talk accompanied by laughter.

Minimalist room Asthma in the dominance of sky blue and ivory white. Cheerful and sweet nuances according to Ida. His gaze then stopped at a painting of a man wearing a peci and a faceless cocoa shirt.

"Asma, who is it?" The asthma spontaneously follows the direction of Ida's eyes. He seems a little nervous. Then install flat dispersion.

"Of ordinary pictures."

"You're great at drawing this well. Why don't you have a face?"

Asthma smiles meaningfully and approaches Ida.

"I've heard a hadith that it is not permissible to draw animate beings. The meaning of the hadith is like this, 'Whoever draws a picture in the world then on the day of the apocalypse will be charged to him to blow the soul into it while he will not be able to blow the spirit. '(SR. Bukhari–Muslim). "

"But Imam Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani explained in another meaningful hadith that it is said that the shuroh is a statue of a living creature made with the aim to be worshiped, so that it does not include a tree, he said, plants, sun and moon. While Imam Abu Muhammad Al-Juwaini added that it was forbidden to draw living or lifeless creatures because at that time it was used as an object of worship and a tool to associate with Allah. The reply to blow the soul into the picture is an allusion to the doom they will receive, as well as to show their weakness because in fact it is impossible to do. "

Asthma's eyes enlarge hearing the explanation of Ida. Then his friend continued.

"The most important thing that must also be understood from this hadith and other hadiths that support it is fixed on the meaning of mushawwir. Imam Ath-Thabari explained that what mushawwir meant was a person who formed something to be made a deity other than Allah, so that he was included in doing kufr. While Shaykh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi defines as a person who makes an object or object that has a shadow, which is nothing but a statue or 3-dimensional art."

Ida took a deep breath. Then back to speaking without regard to the astonished look on Asthma's face.

"Thus, art that is forbidden is art in the 3-dimensional form of an animate or inanimate object that is used as a deity other than Allah or intends to rival Him as the Creator. As for drawing lifeless creatures such as trees, natural landscapes, famous figures, with the intention of learning and no element of fragrance in it can be allowed. Wallahu a’lam."

Asthma looked at Ida with a look of admiration.

"Don't look at me. I have a task from the ustadzah that led me to coincidentally the same discussion about this. That's why it's so good to explain." Ida chuckled with a blushing face.

"Pantesan," said Asma while laughing. A moment later the look on the face of Asthma is difficult to understand. His nose looks blooming.

"Astagfirullah my fish Ida!"

Asthma shouted hysterically when she saw the fish in the pan was already pitch black. Ida put on a innocent face without sin.
