Between Maghrib and Isya
Isra Mi'raj



This morning the race to welcome the day of the Isra Mi'raj has arrived. All santri collected in the mosque environment because the competition activities will be carried out in the mosque environment.


This race starts at 10 a.m. Opened with a greeting by Faiz's brother. Subsequently sholawatan led by the president of PONPES and closed with prayer. After that the peak activity is ready to be carried out.


The first race was the MTQ competition. One by one, the race participants are called to go up to the stage and show their talent.


"Lily's Spirit... You definitely can... Go Lily go Lily go", I cried when Lily's name was called


"Read the prayer first Li", continued Dita


Like the previous participants, the atmosphere in the mosque environment became quiet when participants read the holy verse of the Quran.


Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said:


وَاِ ذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْاٰ نُ فَا سْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ وَاَ نْصِتُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ


"And when the Qur'an is recited, listen and be silent, that you may have mercy."


(QS. Al-A'raf 7: Verse 204)


After all the participants of MTQ race are called, the guests and participants of the race in the first break to eat and pray. Furthermore, after the completion of ISHOMA directly entered the 2nd race, namely the poetry reading competition.


"Dead, it's my race turn. Where I sequence number to 10 again", say I slowly


"Nar, what order are you in?", asked Dita


"10 Done", I answered


"The spirit of Nara.", Saut Lily.


"Thank Li", reply me


"Don't be nervous. Many of them have seen you. There is A'a Fachri also tuh hahaha", ledek Dita


"Lo mah that. So I'm getting nervous" I replied


Dita just laughed amusedly.


"Awas lo ya Dit. Look at it later when you perform", continued me


"Btw who is your duet friend Dit?", asked Lily curiously


"There's. Look at it later", replied Dita


"He wants a duet? How can you do that?", Ledek me


"Gue bribe him hahaha", Dita replied with a laugh


"Usstt is done. I'm getting more deg an ni. Dah number 5 called", said I while holding a bottle of drink


"Alright next sequence number 10 in the name of Naraya Zeina. To Naraya please go on stage", said the committee brother


"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim. Nara definitely can", I said in my heart as I walked towards the stage


"Naraya you can. Nara Go... ", Saut Dita is encouraging


The applause of the audience also added to the crowd.


"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim", I said before starting my poem


Muhammad's Struggle in 27 Rajab


When the moon closed its eyes


The sun begins to heat the light


With the rainbow of the morning with a smile


I heard the sound of the cool birds humming


Like welcoming the arrival of the israel mi'raj


The day two happenings in one night


Isra is a journey from the Haram to the Aqsa Mosque


Mi'raj appointed the Rosul to the highest place Sidratul Muntaha.


Receive HIS Word to perform the five-time prayer


Spread it throughout his people


That prayer is a form of communication to ALLAH SWT


Let me take you brother-schir and Sholawat.


To our Prophet Muhammad SAW who loved us


Until death pick up "my people..My people...My people"never forget.


Even the sacred pain of death was taken for the sake of his people


Let us make five prayers for us as well


اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ طِبِّ الْقُلُوْبِ وَدَوَائِهَا وَعَافِيَةِ اْلأَبْدَانِ وَشِفَائِهَا وَنُوْرِ اْلأَبْصَارِ وَضِيَائِهَا وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ


"Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Thank you", I said before leaving the stage.


The sound of applause came as I stepped off the stage.


"Waaahh is a great poem by Lo Nar. Didn't think I. To my heart", said Dita


"Please say I sit down first. Still deg an ni. Where drink me", reply me


"God is so cool Nara" Lily continued


"Alhamdulillah... Uuuhhhh nervous me", I say


The sequence number of participants one by one in the call until the time of asar prayer arrives. The activity is stopped for a moment and will be continued after the asar prayer.


The next race is the sholawat singing competition. One by one the contestants sing on the call. Here is the one waiting. The appearance of Dita and her duet friend that she kept secret.


"What number does Dit sequence number?", I asked


"Number 5" replied Dita


For this sholawat singing competition participants are fewer than the previous two races. Only about 15 people. Probably because many people are playing.


"Dine. Don't worry dong lo", I said


"Yes ni. Notar yes, I want to sonorous my duet friend first", continued Dita while looking for her duet friend


"Ok Dismissed", Lily answered


"Thank you for number 4. God is so good in their voices. Give her a clap first dong. All right next sequence number 5 starring by the group Diray. Please go on stage", said the committee brother


"Who's Diray?", asked Lily


"Who are we?", asked me again


Our curiosity was reciprocated when we saw Dita and Rayyan ride the stage.


"Wooooo... ", I said when I saw Dita on stage


"Ooh apparently Rayyan who became a duet friend" continued Lily


The sound of music began to be played.they sang the song Habibal Qalbi which was popularized by Sabyan Gambus.


يَا حَبِيْبَ الْقَلْبِ يَا خَيْرَ الْبَرَا يَهْ


يَا لِى جِئْتَ بِا لْحَقِّ رَسُوْ لَ الْهِدَايَهْ

Not only announcing the champion but also telling the story of the Prophet's struggle on the night of Isra Mi'raj.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh", replied the audience simultaneously


***


The night of Isra Mi'raj has arrived. The invited guests began to crowd the neighborhood of the mosque.


Isra Mi'raj is a two-part journey undertaken by Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ in one night only. This incident is one of the important events for Muslims, because it was on this occasion that he was ordered to perform five prayers a day overnight.


Abah Faiz opened the event of Isra Mi'raj with his speech, followed by the recitation of the holy verse of the Quran presented by the president of PONPES and the recitation of prayers before entering his core event.


Next entering the core event is a speech about Isra Mi'raj brought by Ustadz Syahrul Ar-Rayn. Ustadz Syahrul Ar-Rayn was a friend of Faiz's brother and was the abi of A'a Fachri.


The event of Isra’ Mi’raj is an event called the Prophet Muhammad facing Allah, through his power, Prophet Muhammad traveled up Buraq and accompanied by the angel Gabriel from Mecca to Masjid Al Aqsa (Isra). From there, the Prophet Muhammad was then raised, through the doors of the sky to Sidratul Muntaha (Mi’raj).


According to Mutawalli assy-Sya’rawi, Isra’ Mi’raj dilaii as an eternal miracle until the end of time, because in its continuity there is no human who witnessed it. No human being has seen how the Prophet has shot as fast as lightning by riding the Buraq towards the aqsa mosque.


When he arrived at the 7th heaven, the angel Gabriel delivered Muhammad to Sidratul Muntaha. At the gate, the Angel Gabriel invited the Prophet Muhammad to come in and meet the creator. The angel Gabriel waited outside, for the angels were not allowed to enter.


This is where Allah conveyed this duty of Muslims to Prophet Muhammad by ordering Prophet Muhammad to pray. The first time God commanded the Prophet to pray 50 times a day. With long negotiations, prayers are required 5 times a day.


As a result, Isra Mi’raj is the best momentum to remember the struggle of the Prophet in raising the prayer flag. Of course not limited to remembering, it will be more meaningful if it continues to be practiced and taught to fellow Muslims.


He delivered a very good speech. Easy to understand, and does not make jama'ah sleepy.


"God's Masya... Very nice speech", said Lily


"Yes yes. It's good to hear", I replied


"Lo's in-laws are Nar hahah" continued Dita


"Huh? What the hell you dit", I answered


"This is the month of rajab. Prayer prayers will be granted", explained Dita


I don't know what to answer. I am confused about my feelings too. If the soul mate is not where the hell hahahah.


After Ustadz Syahrul delivered his speech then the next is the announcement of the champion of the race.


"Think we won?", asked Dita


"Pray to win" Lily answered


"Aamiin", I replied


"Alright the next event is the announcement of the champion of the race. I hope everyone stays calm. I will read from champions 3 to 1", said the committee brother


"Well first I will read out the champion for the MTQ race. The third champion falls to number 5 on mama Aisyah. The second champion falls to number 12 on behalf of Lily, and the first champion falls to number 6 on behalf of Rifdi. To the winner of the race can go up to the stage to receive the prize", pinta brother committee


"Waaahh Happy Lily. You're great", I say


"Alhamdulillah... Please give a clap dong for our champion", pinta brother panita after the champions get the prize


"Next for the poetry champion. Just go straight yeah. For the third champion falls to the number 10 on behalf of Naraya. The second champion falls to number 8 on behalf of Rezky, and the first champion falls to number 20 on behalf of Dinda. To the winner of the race please go up to the stage", pinta brother committee


"Alhamdulillah o Allah. gk thought to be a champion too", said I was excited.


"Applause first dong", pinta brother committee


"For the last sholawat singing competition. The third champion falls to number 5 on behalf of the Diray group. The second champion falls to number 15 on behalf of Indah. And the first champion falls to number 2 on behalf of the Star group. Please come on stage. Applause dong", pinta brother committee


"Yeee Dita won too. Cool lo dit", I say


And yes, we all got the best champions. I and Dita won 3 while Lily won 2. I am so grateful. This will be my encouragement to stay in the pesantren.


"Dad... Nara's champion of poetry. I'm handing this gift to you. Ma Well, Nara misses... Nara wants to hear your voice. Nara wants you two to congratulate Nara for the first time", I say in my heart
