Accompany Me with Hijrah

CHASING DREAMS

It has not been a month since the annual bazaar of the Nusantara Campus. Nusantara Campus students are difficult to be busy with their activities. Some are busy with assignments, guidance and research. One of them is Zarra. He began studying at Ustadz Adi. This is the third Ustadz Adi study that Zarra participated in in the course of his research.

Dani, the coordinator of this study is very friendly. He was very happy when Zarra contacted him and made his point. Even his team is very happy with the presence of Zarra. Zarra also often brought them snacks or food. According to him, all the promotions. And this time the committee ordered their lunch in Zarra along with snacks for Ustadz Adi, guest stars and organizers.

"Ra, if you are cooking gini, mending after college will open business from work" said Dani while eating her cake.

"'Can already be, Brother. This is Zarra's business now, Brother Dani," replied Zarra. He seems to be recording some of the results of interviews with some pilgrims today.

"Yeah, Ra. Today you can not narcum us? The narsum we invited could not come because there was a need," Dani said later. Zarra. The source? Zarra felt that it was not appropriate to speak in front of the congregation, especially about religious science.

"Oh, brother don't! Zarra's science is still being studied. I'm still learning, Dani. Shame on you" replied Zarra. Dani laughed and made Zarra frown, not understanding what Dani was laughing at.

"Dark, Zarra. When did I tell you to talk?! Narsum I mean, narcum testimony. You told me enough about your hijrah journey" Dani said. Zarra. His heart is still weighing. He had never spoken before in front of many people, let alone this Jama'ah. There is Ustadz Adi and guest stars too! But it's not nice to refuse Dani's request. Finally he nodded. Dani was happy too.

"Alhamdulillah. Relax, Ra. Instead, I'll help you with your script" Dani said. Zarra was laughing.

"Sister Dani doesn't need that much, ah! I was allowed to do this study, I am so grateful. In science, the thesis is also stretched. Thank God I can share a positive experience here, too" replied Zarra. Dani shook her head. I admire that girl. Young and brave.

Shortly thereafter, the study began. The study opens with a do'a and a lecture from Ustadz Adi on the Fiqh Prayer. Zarra felt a little awkward sitting in front of the congregation with Fenita. Ustadz Adi sat down with Arie Untung. Yes, the guest stars this time are Arie Untung and Fenita, his wife.

"Who are you?" asked Fenita to Zarra. Zarra nodded. "Nothing. It's to share the kindness" Fenita said again with a sweet smile. Zarra nodded with a smile. They had already gotten acquainted in the back before the study began. When Arie and Fenita recounted her hijra experience, Zarra was really amazed. He felt that his experience was nothing. He secretly prayed in his heart to get a partner who would move with him. Accompany him in the way of Allah, and guide him.

"Every hijrah journey must be different, yes everyone. This time we try to hear the story of the hijrahnya Neng Zarra. God is young and has migrated. Please Neng Zarra," said Arie giving Zarra time.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ustadz, Brother Arie and Brother Fenita. Assalamu'alaikum everything," Zarra said. The voice of the congregation answered his greetings. "Wa'alaikumsalam". These include Ustadz Adi, Arie and Fenita.

"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim. My story is actually ordinary. Started with a girlfriend, told to hijrah, curious uh urgency," said Zarra began the story. He recounted his hijra experience from the beginning to the present. "The weight of it is not at the time of deciding the hijrah, but the istiqomah. Especially if you hear the talk of neighbors, friends, and even friends. But, believe me, it won't be more than a week" Zarra said with a smile. Now, he feels more relaxed and relaxed telling stories. As soon as Zarra ended the story, the worshippers clapped. The event continued until three in the afternoon. After the Ashar prayer, the study was completed.

The meeting room they used for the study is now empty from the congregation. Only the coordinator, Ustadz Adi, Arie, Fenita and Zarra. They will eat the food that is provided. It was food ordered from Zarra. Zarra also helped prepare his food and drinks. After everything was divided, they started eating by saying bismillah. Zarra sat down near Fenita.

"And, this is really good rice, buy where?," asked Arie to Dani. Dani smiled, while Zarra lowered her head to hide her embarrassment at the compliment.

"Yes, this chicken woknya very good, you know," continued Fenita.

"That's the one who's got the catering next to Fenita Ma'am" Dani replied. Spontaneous all turned towards Zarra. Zarra who felt the center of attention, so blushed.

"This is your catering, Ra?" asked Fenita. Zarra nodded with a smile. "What cook?" asked Fenita again.

"God, Zarra. It's a wonderful pleasure. Sometimes if we go to Surabaya again really have to mesen in your food," cried Fenita. Zarra smile.

"Alhamdulillah if Kak Fenita likes it. Insha Allah if there is a chance to Surabaya, Zarra masakin other menu later," replied Zarra. Fenita chuckles with Zarra. After lunch, they talked for a while.

"Ra, your cooking was delicious. Sometimes join our event yes, teach muslimah in our cooking study," praise Fenita once again.

"I'm still learning too, Brother Feni. May, Brother. I can really share with you" replied Zarra enthusiastically. Fenita seemed both pleased and amazed by Zarra's spirit.

"By the way, what is your dream, Ra?," asked Fenita again. Zarra smile. His eyes looked at Fenita for a moment, then turned to what was in front of her.

"Zarra's dream now is just to please Zarra's parents while they still can. Zarra wants istiqomah, all on the path of Allah. Zarra wants to share the good with other Muslim knowledge that Zarra has. And Zarra wants to go to the house of God" Zarra replied with a smile.

"Pursue your dreams, Ra. Dreams that in the way of Allah, intend because of Allah, insha Allah, Allah will respect them" said Fenita. The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Yes, Brother. Now Zarra is also pursuing a dream. Research for thesis, catering efforts so as not to burden parents again and share the experience of hijrah to motivate other Muslim women," Zarra replied with a cheer. Fenita laughed.

Ustadz Adi had to leave Surabaya that afternoon to return to Jakarta. While Arie and Fenita still want to spend tonight in Surabaya. They split up before maghrib. Zarra had to return home before Maghrib. Today they parted before Maghrib came.

Dreams are different from ideals. If ideals are more inclined to the profession, dreams are much broader in meaning. Zarra, a millennial girl who initially did not know the science of religion, aspires to a regular career, now she has turned into a Muslim woman with different dreams.

Learning about women's fiqh, making the concept of his mind change about dreams. She no longer wants a career and luxury like she used to, once she knows best that women in Islam are women who stay at home and take care of their children. Her dream is to have a career at home. Has a catering business that he runs from his cooking hobby from home. Immediately complete his education. In fact, today he added one more dream to his life. Sharing kindness. His knowledge and expertise now he wants to share with other Muslim women. Sharing the good is not just money and possessions. But also science. He remembered once Umi Fatma had told him, when we share a verse that we know with others and others practice it, then the reward will flow to the divisor of knowledge.

That is why Zarra wants to be able to share his knowledge with other Muslim women. Now, he wants to focus on pursuing his dreams. Especially the happiness of his parents.

"Bismillah. O Allah, I want to come to Your house, in Your Kaaba with my parents. Make our way easy. Make easy the way of the servant to realize the dreams of the servant. May the servant be a useful man to other Muslims, O Allah. Aamiiii".
