Happy reading.

Then Sidiq touched her body and reached into her pants pocket.

“I was last night praying straight to sleep, meaning it was just a dream. But why is this thing real here now ?” said Sidiq in a astonished heart to find a Tasbih of sandalwood. Was I not just a dream last night…???

“Whether this pilgrimage task is considered complete, I must face my teacher later after the dawn prayer.” Sidiq said in his heart.

It was while asleep that Sidiq dreamed of meeting an old man who came to hand him a Tasbih. Tasbih which from the word Sabaha (holy already) and Tasbih in the form of Fi'il mudhori’ ( Present continuous ) which means Being sanctified in the arrangement (Grammar ) Arabic. While the fragrant sandalwood means a symbol or order to Sidiq to purify themselves to scent (scented ) the family name. Both the family in the sense of Nasab and the extended family Pesantren and more broadly is the fragrance of Islam that Rahmatan lil ‘alamin.

But unfortunately Sidiq has not been able to interpret this, so it is still not able to understand the meaning or essence of the Tasbih Cendana. It is still a good thing that Sidiq does not consider it as a talisman that tends to fall into idolatry. Sidiq still believes there is no strength other than Allah, at least can hold fast Thayyibah Tahlil. In accordance with the pillars of Islam the first to read two shahadah.

That is the difference when people learn kanuragan and supernatural with the guidance of the Master and not. A teacher who guides will keep Aqidah students (Satri )nya so as not to let go of Aqidah. It would be dangerous if people learned without a teacher who could guide, it would be easy to slip into hypocrisy.

After feeling quite refreshed and his consciousness recovered from sleep and his dream Sidiq immediately stepped home, returning to the boarding school.

Flashback to Pesantren Jafar and Nisa

POV Author

After the return of Sidiq and Ihsan, Lita and Riska returned to Vina's room. Riska and Lita want to see Susana pesantren and see the activities of children santri, what they do if they are in the pesantren.

“Usually this hour you do what Vin ?” ask Lita to Vina's sister.

“Jam this time yes most wait for maghrib prayer only, if the fasting is ready to open the fast.” Answer Vina.

“If now you are fasting no, if you fast brother buyin to break the fast.” Said Lita.

“Sister, Vina is still on leave now can monthly guests.” Answer Vina.

“Sama mbak Vina, Nisa also again there are no fasting guests.” Sahut Nisa who was invited to accompany Riska in Vina's room as well.

“That Jafar is also diligent fasting, fitting into the place where mas Sidiq is also fasting. Nisa also fasts frequently huh?” ask Riska.

“If Nisa is only Thursday mbak, the same fasting only Weton.” Answer Nisa.

“Weton fast is what Nisa is ?” ask Lita.

“Weton fast is fasting on the day and the market is born we mbak Lita.” Answer Nisa.

“Is there really a command so ?” ask Lita.

“Direct rule does not exist, but ittiba’ (Then ) the apostle who fasted on his birthday on Monday. So we intend fasting to be grateful and remember we have been born into this world only.” Answer Nisa.

“Owh is so, so more gratitude course yes Nisa ?” Sahut Risk.

“Iya mbak, and do not have to or not obligated just our gratitude.” Said Nisa.

“Duh Nisa is already very familiar with her sister-in-law, btw Nisa happy not to have a sister-in-law like Riska ?” Ask Lita.

“Apaan sih Lita, pity Nisa still small asked so.” Riska Protest.

“Gak papa kali Ris, Nisa also already knows the times have entered the menstrual period as well.” Lita.

“Iya mbak, but Nisa does not understand about it, has not thought instead.” Nisa Sahut.

“But like not having a sister like Riska?” insist Lita seduces Riska. While Vina was silent, she heard her sister talking to Nisa.

“Nisa the origin of mas Sidiq likes Nisa also likes aja.” Java Nisa.

“Kok depends on your sister ?” ask Lita.

“Iya mas Sidiq who want to live, if mas Sidiq happy Nisa also happy. And with mbak Riska Nisa there is also no reason not to like kok.” Answer Nisa's diplomacy. One of Nisa's traits is passed down from Fatimah's ancestor who was a diplomacy expert.

“Little girl is already good at your diplomacy Nisa.” Vina's voice arrived.

“Not also mbak Vina, Nisa just talk as is. Indeed mbak Riska is beautiful natural mas Sidiq likes. If mas Sidiq likes it then Nisa also automatically likes it too.” Answer Nisa.

“Eeh Nisa can know, why your sister Jafar is so quiet not like Sidiq or you are smart to talk.” Ask Lita.

While Vina so rustled when Lita asked Jafar.

“Kak Dina is even nanyain Jafar everything, does sister Dina like the same Jafar ?” Tanya Vina pura teased her brother, although she was actually only worried if that happened.

“Honestly I really like the appearance of Jafar. But it's not like like like girls like guys. Just like it because Jafar is very calm people, cool ginya. Baby is still small for brother, if more mature than brother may be different story.” Java Lita. Vina was a bit shocked but was able to control herself after hearing Lita's explanation to the end.

“If for example seba kak Dina means kak Dina likes dong same Jafar ?” Vina Sahut.

“That is Sidiq, and Sidiq is in control now.” Replied Lita while glancing at Riska.

“Lah Riska again being targeted, but Jafar is the same age as Vina. Nisa agrees that Jafar is close to Vina?” said Riska diverted the conversation.

“Nisa don't know mbak, how mas Jafar just the same mbak Vina. But as far as Nisa mas Jafar also does not want to date kok.” Answer Nisa.

“Betul Nisa, Vina also had a conversation with Jafar and Jafar also said that same Vina.” Vina Sahut.

“Owh turns out my sister is quite familiar with Jafar, don't you were jealous of her brother when he called Jafar ya Vina ?” Temptation lita to Vina

“No kak Dina, max Vina kak Dina also just know jafar kok already asked about Jafar so.” Vina answered somewhat wrongly.

“There Nisa also even on talking about her sister, later you will be aduin them Nisa same sister you.” Riska.

Nisa is just a smile, although there is a bit of pride that many like her older sister. But not being a pride for Nisa, Nisa still applies as other little girls. He prefers to play and joke around according to his age.

Such was Nisa's brief conversation with Sidiq's two friends as well as Vina. Until when I saw their adzan maghrib had just stopped. Vina asks a friend to invite Lita and Riska to join the maghrib congregation because Vina and Nisa themselves are on vacation. And the night Riska and Lita also listened to the children of santri who were teaching. There are those who teach the book of fiqh (Islamic Law ) there are those who najai Quran and there are those who chant sholawat and others.

Risak and Lita felt a calm hearing many santri with various religious activities. In his heart Riska said, “it turns out there are many ways to get closer to God (God). During this time Riska yearya only pray and read only quran.”

“If your sister Jafar at this hour what is Nisa ?” ask Riska.

“Mas Jafar new get a task every night Mbak grave pilgrimage.” Answer Nisa.

“Whose name ?” ask Riska.

“Self mbak, if given the task usually each santri different task.” Answer Nisa.

“Haah... Alone, not afraid ? Jafar your brother is the one who is silent so?” Ask Riska.

“Yes not mbak, fear what ?” ask Nisa.

“Yes are afraid of ghosts is Nisa, cook afraid of beautiful girls.” Goda Riska's.

“Gak lah mas Jafar not afraid kok Nisa alone not afraid of pilgrimage itself to the tomb also ever. But in the afternoon, if the night should not be the same because girls can arise Slander.” Answer Nisa.

Riska is just dumb, if Nisa alone dare let alone Jafar and Sidiq, Inner Riska. Riska looked at the door of Kyai's house. And a few moments later Jafar was seen out the door of the house was about to go to the grave.

*****

Jafar stepped calmly towards the tomb as he normally would, with no intention whatsoever but to carry out the orders of his teacher. Because carrying out the orders of teachers (especially teachers njai/spiritual) it can make the way to get Ridho Allah Swt. Likewise with both biological parents/in-laws. The Ridho of God depends on them.

Although his worship is good but if it makes his parents angry then God is also not Ridho. vice versa even though his worship is ordinary if his actions please his parents and his parents Ridho, on the contrary, then Allah is also Ridho. That is the product santri pesantren, which does not learn theory alone. But also learn to apply his knowledge in everyday life. This includes applying Adab to others.

…..

…..

…..

Arriving at Jafar's tomb immediately recited a solemn prayer to pray for his teacher's parents. And also for Jafar's grandparents, both from Fatimah's grandparents' lane and from Yasin's parents. Because at that time Fatimah's parents were both still healthy.

Unlike the experience of Sidiq who when Pilgrimage in a state of fatigue. Jafar is in a fit condition so that it can be calmly in chanting prayer and recitation of the Quran. And that night Jafar felt a somewhat different atmosphere. There is a gentle breeze that is then followed by a fragrant aroma that is rarely encountered Jafar.

In full awake condition Jafar saw a white shadow from a distance that was getting closer and closer. The white shadow is also more clearly visible and closer the clearer. Arrived to stand before Jafar, between the tombstones.

Jafar did not want to be affected by the presence of the figure, he still chanted a prayer that was declared by his teacher. Even the fragrant aroma that appeared was not ignored by Jafar. Although Jafar is quiet unlike his brother Sidiq, even with his sister Nisa Jafar is more quiet. But in the right to face invisible creatures Jafar already have enough experience. Since often encountered and trained by the yuyutu.

The figure remained standing in front of Jafar who was praying to pray for the gravedigger who was there and also dedicated to his teacher's parents. Ahkan until Jafar finished praying the figure was still standing there. Until finally Jafar who first greeted the figure.

“Assalaamu ‘alaikum yaa Shaykh (Shaykh lughowi /language \= Parents ) there is need to come to me who is praying to Allah ?” ask Jafar.

“Didn't you just call me, why did I come and ask you so ?” ask that figure.

“You are the grandson of Azzam bin Sidiq Ali bin…. Bin… …. …. … bin…. Mustolih.” Said the figure.

Jafar was a little surprised that the figure could mention his Nasab line up to seven levels above it. But Jafar remembered that the Jin faction was very easy to do that. So that Jafar was not so affected by it.

In Jafar's heart said, “sayang I have not been able to distinguish between the Jin faction and the Solih human spirit who can be given the right to visit humans on earth.” Jafar said in his heart.

“Where is Shaykh sure ?” Ask Jafar.

“Because I'm Mustholih's eye, you can doubt my grandson. But then you can ask your teacher. Eyang hunts because he will soon meet your brother Sidiq. You accept this, and memorize the letter Al Mulk, Yasin,.....” said the figure mentioned the name of the letter in the Quran.

“For what eyang Jafar should memorize it ?” ask Jafar.

“The Seven Letters, as the opening door so that you can easily memorize the contents of the Quran 30 juz. And in time later, you will be the ‘The Heir of Stambul Al-Quran’ last time held by Sidiq Ali your grandfather.” Said the figure.

“What is eyang ?” ask Jafar later.

“A Quran that is only the size of a thumb nail but can be read by a certain person whom Allah wills. And you're the one who's gonna inherit it my grandson.” Said the figure.

Then the figure suddenly disappeared from Jafar's eyes. Jafar was still between believing and not daring to conclude. And Jafar intends to ask Abah his teacher about the event, so as not to be persuaded the appeal of the Jin people who sometimes claim me as our ancestor. If not careful and without guidance can indeed be tempted by the persuasion of Jin.

Jafar immediately stepped in to return to the boarding school, while the figure claiming to be Mustholih's eyes went to see Sidiq who was asleep due to fatigue.

Morning after dawn

Jafar POVs

“I would like to face my teacher this morning, you should go to school later I face him.” I said in my heart.

Although I actually could not help the curiosity that came to my mind. Whether it was true last night that I met at the tomb was my eyes or the figure of Jin who claimed to be me. My mind so laughs away where, if it is like this can not not not necessarily immediately consult with the teacher.

“ kang Jafar asked abi to see his brother Vina's guest with his friend, have you gone home yet ?” said Nia.

“If I can't possibly enter Nia's princess complex ?” I answered Nia.

“See the motor is still there not ?” said Nia.

“Yesterday use what motor yes?” I asked because I did not see the arrival of Mbak Riska and mbak Lita.

“Nia also do not know, how dong ?” said Nia.

But suddenly came the sound of greeting like the voice of Vina.

Assalaamu ‘alaikum..!” Vina said rama mbak Riska and mbak Lita want to say goodbye like it.

Soon Nia who welcomes and invites sitting in the living room.

“You who serve drink yes, let Nia who call Abi.” Said Nia.

“Iya Nia, all made not you ?” my many.

“No need, Nia already made her own earlier.” Answer Nia.

“What will I have to face my teacher to consult yes.” I said in my heart.

All of you take advantage of the momentum mak Riska and mbak Lita say goodbye, automatically abah guru in the living room. It seems like the right time to face him later, after they say goodbye.

After I made the drink I immediately went back to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family aah teacher. While peeking if if if mbak Riska and mbak Lita have come out to face aah guru.

But I was surprised when the teacher called me.

“Jafar, you come here for a minute.” Teacher's orders.

“iya bah.” My answer.

Then come into the living room with mbak Riska and mbak Lita also Vina.

“This is her sister Vina wants to go home, you take it to the village gate because it is still a bit dark pity.” Said Abah guru. “wah could fail my plan.” I said in my heart.

“Why even bengong, you do not need to be confused last night it was indeed you who came. It's been there fast between Nia.” motors The teacher's orders.

“Iya bah, let me take you to the village gate now.” I said to mak lita and mbak Riska.

I was relieved, without having to consult my teacher already understood what I wanted to ask. Indeed sometimes he shows his carom (Karomah \= glory. Which in the science of Wisdom becomes the term for the advantages of people who are close to God or often also called khowariqul adah ), but more often show the human side.

Long story short, I arrived at the gate of the Village, right on the edge of the forest but until there it already seemed rather bright.

“Sorry Mbak Lita and mbak Riska, Jafar can only take you here. Be careful on the road ya mbak.” I said to Lita and Riska.

“Iya thank you very much Jafar, titip Vina my sister yes please take care of her.” Said mbak Lita.

“There is no message for your mas Sidiq Jafar ?” Ask me about Riska.

“Tell me, to tell you about Sidiq's experience last night and please tell Jafar mbak.” My answer.

“That's it?” ask Riska again.

“Iya mbak that's it.” My answer.

Then they left me to go home and go to school. “Mbak Riska is indeed beautiful, but unfortunately less close the aura. What need mas Sidiq I introduce Vina only yes who is also beautiful and close the Auratnya. But it is not good also later mas Sidiq offended, let it be first. Who knows mas Sidiq can actually make mbak Riska better.” I said in my heart member subjective assessment to mbak Riska mas Sidiq's girlfriend. I think Nisa's like me too, my mind.

I immediately returned to the boarding school to be ready to go to school as well. And before arriving at the boarding school, Nisa just bought breakfast. I stopped the bike and greeted Nisa first.

“You didn't fast Nisa ?” my many.

“Gak mas, it's Nisa.” Answer Nisa.

“Owh... overnight chat with mbak Riska ?” I asked Nisa.

“Iya why ? Surely mas Jafar issue about mbak Riska who does not wear hijab yes ?” nisa said instantly guessing the contents of my mind.

“According to Nisa how ?” My toot.

“How is it ? Why not napa. Indeed, wearing a hijab is better, but that does not mean that wearing a hijab is definitely better all. Ms. lik Khotimah just used to say she never veiled her youth.” Said Nisa.

Somehow after me, Nisa and mas Sidiq mature enough to appear more appeasement and how to deal with the situation. Although still love each other as brothers, and can respect each other's differences.

In this case mas Sidiq is the same opinion as Nisa, but in other respects also sometimes Nisa who differs from mas Sidiq and so on. Whether this is called science is very broad, the truth can not only be judged from one side or from one point of view, I thought.

“Come with no ?” ask me to Nisa after finishing the breakfast eloi brought back to the cottage.

“Gak Nisa just walk, not everyone knows we're sister sister can be slander.” Nisa said while joking.

“Any weird you are, who doesn't know you my sister.” I said as I left Nisa who chose to walk. That's how my sister Nisa tends to imitate my sister Sidiq mas.

*****

After I finished my preparation I immediately went to school, because today is my schedule for fasting because yesterday was not fasting. I'm used to fasting, people say. Actually it is the fast of the Prophet David As, but people better say the fast of david. Tasty taste in the body, more regular eating is not excessive.

“Jafar wait a minute, there is important information.!” vina panicked.

“What the hell makes you surprised this.” I said. Vina who is a classmate and a boarding school is the only girl I am most familiar with. Because it has been since Tsanawiyah or Junior High became first class friends. So it's like my own brother. Even so the thought of bringing Vina closer to the Sidiq mas, but it is not pleasant to take offense.

“You yesterday afternoon out fighting yes same thugs thugs terminal?” ask Vina.

“You realize not Vin, I was yesterday not out of boarding school since school.” My answer.

“Honestly, this is our friend one school there who told us that the thug thugs wanted to find you in school, want revenge.!” Vina.

“Yesterday what two days ago, if two days ago indeed I was stopped and forced to fight ?” my many.

“It's less clear as well, but the information was yesterday afternoon he said you were up against four guys out of maghrib.” Vina said showing her chat with someone.

“Habis maghrib ? it's not that I'm in the pesantren and maghrib alone you still see me right?” ask me to Vina.

“Terus..?” vina was confused.

While I can already guess the answer, it must be mas Sidiq and they thought it was Jafar. Wah mas Sidiq, he who fights Jafar who is accused.

“Pakling mas Sidiq who fought, then the thugs thought I was fighting.” Myjaw.

“You do not need to go to school first, danger if you make you go to school.” Vina.

“Gak ah, now do not leave also tomorrow they keep looking, mending explained that it is not Jafar.” Answer to Vina.

“Bandel also you Jafar..!” vina sewot.

I saw Vina then cool chat while walking, maybe just chat with the one who gave the Info earlier, I thought...!!!
