Animal Sacrifice For Mother
5. Not Impossible
The rain that day has stopped.
Doni is seen holding both parts of his knee and trying to regulate his breathing. Exactly like someone who's crouching. There were no signs emanating from Doni's countenance except a sign of seriousness. His breathing was still boring because he had just run down dozens of steps from the second floor.
Doni is Rahman's best friend on campus. Once he stopped by the house when he drove Rahman home. Fat body. So if they walk side by side, they're exactly like the number 10.
“What's Don? You're like just being chased by a fierce dog.”
Rahman smiled and asked Doni to sit next to him.
“Now take off your shoes and bags here, I take care. Wudlu place over there.” Further.
Doni lifted his body from the position. The shoes are still not opened, although the back bag patterned batik Jogja has been placed leaning on the pillar of the mushalla support. Actually without even being shown, Doni knows where the place of the male wudlu. Almost two years they were in this campus environment, so how could Doni not know?
“Shalatnya later only. Come on, I'll accompany you to see Muttaqillah.”
Rahman turned to Doni. His breath sounded a little heavy, as heavy as his head that was raised into the sky. Immediately began to share knowledge about the historical events behind the decline of the order of prayer. Doni just fell silent. Listen in.
“One night, Prophet Muhammad was ordered by Allah Swt to make a long journey full of wonders and wisdom. He was accompanied by the Angel Gabriel As. But before starting his journey, Angel Gabriel As split His chest and purify his heart using zam-zam water. It was only after that long journey began. Starting from the Grand Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque, continue to rise to the sky until arriving at Sidratul Muntaha.
Arriving at Sidratul Muntaha, Angel Jibril As retreated. The Prophet Muhammad walked alone to meet Allah. From that meeting, He and all his people were commanded by Allah Swt to perform 50 prayers a day overnight. FIFTY TIMES, NOT FIVE!”
Rahman turned back. His breath was heard again. Harder, heavier. His voice was slightly restrained, trembling. Both her eyes were glazed. While Doni is getting quieter.
“But when Prophet Muhammad descended from the highest heavens, He met Prophet Moses in the sixth heaven and told Him to ask for leniency. Prophet Muhammad went back up to meet Allah. Eventually it was reduced by 5, to 45. When he came down from the highest heaven for the second time, he again met Moses As in the same place. Moses told him to do the same; ask for leniency. So next.
After nine times up and down to meet Allah Swt, Prophet Moses As still advised the Prophet Muhammad to ask for leniency to Allah Swt. But he was ashamed to negotiate again with Allah Swt. Set 5 prayer times a day overnight.”
Rahman. Both eyes glazed. He just wants to remind, hurry up! Prayer is one of the best roads to Heaven. It is also a magnet for good works. After all, there is no guarantee that our lives will continue. It is not impossible, one minute in the future we can no longer breathe the air of the world. Sorry, it does not mean that Rahman prayer is perfect and accepted by Allah Swt. But at least he is right, it would be nice if it is hastening in performing prayers.
Doni perfect mute. Her tears could not be held back after hearing Rahman's explanation. Nor did he delay any longer to immediately perform the prayer dzuhur.
After the prayer, Doni accompanied Rahman to meet the Muttaqillah pact.
