The Whore That Gus Azam's Wife
Colloquy

As predicted, Maryam and Zaidan arrived at the cottage as night began to greet.

They had dinner together, Stella and Umi were cooking earlier. Meanwhile, Abi Daud that night looked very tired, either because of a lot of thoughts or what.but, it was enough to make Stella worried actually.

“Abi, does abi hurt?” Maryam asked, as they all gathered in the living room together.

“No,... uhuk – uhuk” Abi Daud stopped his speech due to a cough that suddenly struck his throat.

“Abi is just exhausted, nothing means” Continue abi Daud.

“What has not changed since the last time Zaidan came here, abi?” Ask Zaidan.

Zaidan graduated less than two months ago, now the young man is focusing on the hospital owned by the Stella family. Indeed, his busyness can not make himself back and forth, let alone far outside the city where he lives.

“Abi is already feeling better, don't worry about abi. It is already this age so, it is not unnatural if abi began to get sickly” said abi Daud, trying to calm his son and daughter.

“Oh yes, abi would like to ask you all. Who will continue our cottage if you already have a busy life like this?” Ask abi David.

His pale face was emanated with sadness, probably because none of his daughters' sons lived with them there.

They all look at each other.

“Can I tell you who will stay?” Azam asked his brother.

“If you ask that, of course Abi wants you all to stay. Which parents can get away with their children? It's just that I can't keep you from leaving when you already have your own family.

There are parental restrictions on a married child. Me and your umi, you can't get too involved in the children's household.

As the Prophet said, ‘You will be busy with your privacy and do not be too busy with other people's affairs’. In the hadith, it is not only applicable to the general but, also specific included in the household affairs of our children” said abi Daud.

Uhuk

Uhuk

The man coughed several times in the middle of his sentence. Not infrequently, he would stop for a moment to calm down.

“Pasca married, at that time you already have your own responsibilities, no longer under the responsibility of parents. Even for men, it is his responsibility to provide the best comfort for his wife.

There are many points also if you are not at home with us, such as the husband can lead his family perfectly, because the husband is the leader in the household, ‘Male is the leader for the women’, because the husband is the leader in the household, Qur’an letter An-Nisa verse 34.

Second, you can educate your children more perfectly, also the problems you face in the household can be maintained and solved together. So, abi obviously can't ban you guys for it”

Everyone fell silent to the words of abi Daud, until Erlangga opened his voice, “If Azam or Zaidan wants to focus on their respective careers, insyallah Erlangga is ready to take care of this boarding school, abi.

But, maybe Erlangga needs a lot of guidance from abi Daud, given how minimal my knowledge in the science of religion” he said.

At that time, Abi Daud smiled in a knot with the answer conveyed by his son-in-law.

“It doesn't matter, as long as you want to learn, it won't be a thing that means anything. Do your brothers agree with this? Considering this boarding school is also where they grew up since childhood. Are they sincere? Do they not mind? Especially after abi announced this for you then, all responsibility is yours” Abi Daud poked Erlangga with various questions, obviously to see the response of his other two children.

“Azam no problem, abi. Insyallah mr. Erlangga will be entrusted with his responsibilities” said Azam.

“Zaidan agrees, abi. Zaidan will focus on the hospital only after this, insyallah later Zaidan will provide better health facilities here, just pray Zaidan's career can work well, he said, so that abi and umi are not in vain send Zaidan to this stage” said Zaidan.

Abi finally mangosteen, “Abi will always pray for the best for you and your brothers”.

Abi Daud took a breath and threw it away slowly, “What about your business out of town? How do you divide your time by this branching and diverging work?” tanyakanya.

Erlangga with the former replied, “There are not many things I can do outside the city, considering I have left my business more than what I am working on. I am ready to move the company center in this city and share the focus with the boarding school Erlangga said.

“What if your work makes you forget your children and wife?” Ask abi David again.

“Even if abi asks Erlangga to leave the company for the sake of this boarding school and also focus with Maryam then, Erlangga will approve it” Erlangga said.

This of course made Azam and the others immediately look surprised.

“Are you serious, Mr Erlangga?” Ask Azam.

Erlangga turned to Azam with his eyes narrowing, “Did I look like a father? Call me ‘kak’, like you called my wife”. Apparently the man did not accept when his sister-in-law always called him with ‘pak Erlangga’ at all times. But, it melted the atmosphere that was quite tense that night, everyone laughed at the sound that Erlangga cast as a sign of his protest.

“Ah yes, forgive me” Azam replied while chuckling softly.

“I can give that company to my sister. I think I can learn a lot here in this boarding school. Work and other affairs, I can start again in accordance with the Shari'ah stated in Islam. If I have to overhaul what is already there, it will be more difficult I think” Erlangga said.

Everyone was clearly impressed by Erlangga's reply.

“Why?” Ask Zaidan. Short, dense and unclear. What would be clear if only by that question? What's the why? Isn't that what we're thinking together?

“It is human nature if we always feel dissatisfied with what we have. The world is tempting to anyone who is in it.

From Zaid bin Tsabit radiyallahu anhu, Rasulullah SAW said, ‘item who menajdian the world as its main purpose then, who, Allah SWT will scatter his affairs and make poverty or never feel enough before him, even though he will not get the world beyond what Allah has set him. And whosoever makes the Hereafter his ultimate goal then, Allah SWT will gather his affairs, make riches and always feel sufficient in his heart, and the worldly comes to him in low and low or worthless conditions before him.’.

In the past, I was a sinner who always pursued the wealth of the world, even I always felt less and less when, the success I had was clearly priceless. Instead of feeling grateful, I even opened a lot of businesses that a Muslim should not do.

It's enough, knowing you're part of my family is enough to make me realize what I've been doing all along. Chasing the world won't make me feel satisfied. I want to be a better person than before. Maybe through your intermediaries or how, I sure can turn into a devout Muslim if far from the bustle of urban bustle that is rife with worldly conditions”

The answer from Erlangga. Strictly, he opened his voice, expressing his heart and his opinion to his wife's family there.

That night to be a witness, how deliberation in the family is also important to be done in the household.

“The deliberation in the view of Islam is recommended, as Allah SWT has reminded us in his word, ‘then it is thanks to the grace of Allah SWT that you apply meekness towards them. If you are hard-hearted again, they will surely distance themselves from your surroundings. Forgive them, therefore, and ask forgiveness for them, and commend with them in this matter. Then, when you have resolved, then trust Allah SWT because Allah SWT loves those who have manganal’. It is written in the letter of Ali Imran verse 159 concerning the deliberation” Gumam abi Daud, it was a sentence that came out after the decision that Erlangga would be the successor to the Lailatul Qadar boarding school after Abi Daud later.

“Then what about the role of deliberation in the household, abi?” Ask Stella.

Abi Daud looked at Azam, Stella's husband, to answer.

“In-household deliberation is also recommended in Islam, dear. Islam does not support coercion. The deliberations aim that both parties between husband and wife are not disappointed and satisfied with the decision in the problems that occur. Because in the household should not both husband and wife do coercion without consultation.

This also exemplifies the Prophet SAW, because the Prophet received direct orders from Allah SWT to conduct deliberations and convey them to the people of the prophet Muhammad SAW. ‘And for those who fulfill the call of God and uphold prayer, while their affairs are decided by way of deliberation,..’, that is written in the letter of Asy-Shura verse 38”

Azam explained to his wife in front of his parents and also his brothers, showing how Azam was able to be an exemplary husband who could educate his wife in the way of Allah SWT.
