Chastity of Shahadah

Chapter 110 THE SANCTITY OF SHAHADAT

It's right in front of Papa Leo's treatment room. Zhein, Suci and Mother Jihan entered the room with greetings.

"Assynoltom.... Papa.." said Suci to the side of his papa gurney.

"Waalaikum.... Holy boy, are you okay?" papa Leo said softly

Saints were surprised by the reply of greetings that came out of the mouth of Papa Leo.

"Does my greeting?" holy Word slowly.

"Holy Lord. Is something wrong?" papa Leo lirih said.

Papa Leo's condition is getting worse, today only entered two spoons of porridge.

"There's nothing wrong, Papa. Suci was even happy to hear it." said Suci softly.

Papa Leo just smiled thinly, happy to be among loved ones.

"Holy, Mama and Mommy go home first, later this afternoon again. Mama is tired dear." said Mama Larasati slowly.

"Yes Mama please. There is Mas Zhein the Holy One. Mama and Mommy don't worry." said Suci slowly.

"Definitely Honey, if the bodyguard has come Mother calm" said Mother Jihan chuckled.

"Mother, always mocking Zhein" said Zhein with an annoyed look.

"Mas Zhein, Mother will also joke." said Suci reminded.

"Holy Lord, Mas also knows" said Zhein softly. Forced smile.

Both mothers walked outside the treatment room to go home. Saints still faithfully accompany Papa leo on the side of the gurney. While Zhein was performing the Ashar prayer then continued to read the Qur'an brought from the car.

The recitation of the Holy verses of the Quran recalls to make the heart that hears it become peaceful, comfortable and serene. The same is true of Papa Leo. Little by little Papa Leo also listened to the Quran.

"Your husband is very good at teaching her? His voice is so beautiful, it goes into the heart of papa." said Papa Leo quietly in between listening to the reading.

"Sacred can also be because of Mas Zhein who teaches." said Suci softly, praising her Husband in front of Leo's father.

"When it's over, Papa wants to talk to your husband Zhein. There are things you want to ask other than to take care of you, papa's grandson and Mama Larasati." said Papa Leo slowly.

"Yes Papa. Soon Mas Zhein is done. Papa can say anything with Mas Zhein." said Suci slowly.

"Papa's time is not much Holy. Papa wants to give his best for you Saints, for your son and for Mama Larasati. Although everything can not be repeated, at least what Papa asked Zhein can provide perfection for Papa." said Papa Leo slowly.

Papa Leo went back to observe the sky of the roof. His life that I don't know how much longer. But indeed Papa Leo was not strong enough to withstand the pain in his chest and in his stomach.

Zhein had finished performing the ashar prayer, then tidied up his prayer equipment and sat on the edge of the gurney, accompanying his wife and Papa Leo.

"Your voice is so beautiful Zhein, you chant everything well. Your Lord must be proud of you?" papa Leo smiled.

"My Lord is Allah SWT. He is Most Compassionate and Most Merciful, Most Forgiving" Zhein said calmly.

"Papa is proud to have petrified like you. Forgive Papa if Papa has to be mean and selfish to make you all disappointed with Papa" said Papa Leo slowly.

"Papa is not evil, maybe at that time Papa did not know Zhein well. A Papa will definitely protect girls from being guarded by the wrong people" Zhein said softly.

Papa Leo's hand held the child's and daughter-in-law's hands. Then Mr. Leo continued his talk.

"This is karma from Papa's sin. Zhein and Saints you must always get along well and love one another. Of course your Lord teaches you good things so that you become good people and care about others" said Papa Leo slowly.

"God SWT will always give Papa the best" said Zhein slowly.

"Can Papa know your Lord?" papa lirih said. Both of his eyes stared intently at Zhein asking for an answer.

Zhein was struck by Papa Leo's words. Want to know your Lord means Papa wants to know Allah SWT. Is this real, a Papa Leo who incidentally a fanatical Christian wants to become a Muslim.

"Papa...did Zhein not hear wrong?" ask Zhein then.

Papa Leo just shook his head.

"Do you think this Papa is a liar? a coward?" ask Papa Leo slowly to Zhein.

"Because I'm a fanatic Christian? I don't deserve to be part of you and know your God?? that's right.. awhhh.." cried Papa Leo.

"Papa... already ....Papa's still sick. Papa should take care of the condition of Papa's tires. Saints don't want to lose you Papa." said Suci sobbing.

"Holy, unfortunately Papa. Papa just wants to be with you in Heaven. Maybe this is the only way Papa can repent and admit all Papa's mistakes" said Papa Leo lirih.

"But Pah.

"This is the last request of Holy Papa, help Papa so that Papa's guilt can be reduced. Papa only has you and Mama Larasati" said Papa Leo in tears.

Papa Leo has gone with it all. His life and death were all handed over to his Lord. Only the words of Sorry and regret that are very deep in making Papa Leo realize that this life is a mirage, all that is just a deposit, including our soul in this body is just a deposit. Be a good soul and believe in Allah SWT.

"Papa Zhein asked, What makes Papa Leo want to know my Lord, Allah SWT?" zhein said slowly, the two man's eye beads met.

"Papa wanted to always be close to Saints and Larasati. They love and love Papa. Not because of the body or property that Papa has. Unlike the other Papa friends, who approached Papa just because of money. In fact, when Papa went bankrupt, none of them helped Papa from this downturn. There they avenge him when Papa is already helpless" said Papa increasingly stammered brick.

"Do you know who did it? and what's the motive?" ask Zhein to investigate. Not to forget Zhein recorded all his talks with Papa Leo since then.

"I'll tell you Zhein, I'm sure I'm trustworthy. I have an enemy in the blanket none other than my own cousin. His name is Lukas, he's my cousin's brother. His business has been bankrupt since both of his parents died in an accident. Luke is married to a club entertainer named Rachel. Her marriage was not approved because Rachel only wanted Luke's treasure. They have a son named Klara Novena. They opened the biggest nightclub in town selling drugs. Eventually they go broke, Rachel leaves Luke and Clare. Rachel is married to a striped man. Until one day Luke and Clare came to borrow money, but were not given by my parents, because Luke had defied, at that time Luke will be betrothed to the son of a coal businessman on the island next door. My parents were angry and drove them away" said Papa Leo, remembering the incident was very sad.

"Then Pah?" ask Zhein curiously. Because there's a Klara Novena name there.

"Inadvertently, papa's parents push Luke to the point of being injured and dying. From then on, the information that Papa heard Klara Novena became the mistress of a Drug Boss, and planned to kill the entire Papa family for revenge" Papa Leo cried.

"Which stabs, Klara Novena?" yg Naya zhein slowly.

"Betul Zhein, he's after Papa's life" said Papa Leo slowly.

"Mahs ....Zhein will help Papa." said Zhein softly.

"Forget Zhein, let it go. Everything has happened, Papa studied sincerely like Saints. Papa just wants to know your Lord Zhein. Papa wants to be with you, if not in the world maybe in the afterlife we can meet." said Papa Leo slowly and began to moan in pain.

"Father.... papa.... Papa why? Holy call Doctor Dirga huh Lah?" holy Word slowly.

Papa Leo landed his index finger right on Holy lips.

"Don't say that, don't call the doctor. Papa wants to know.... Allah SWT..... Can you lead me Zhein?" papa Leo said slowly.

"Papa is ready? to worship and know Allah SWT." said Zhein slowly.

"Papa ... is ready Zhein. This creed can wash away my sins Zhein?" ask Papa Leo.

"The Father will become a Holy man again like a newborn baby after the martyrdom. Then that is the meaning of SHAHADAT SANCTITY." said Zhein slowly.

"Help Papa, Zhein. So that Papa can shahadat. Teach Papa Zhein." said Papa Leo soft and raspy. Her crying was so sincere, her sobbing sounded so soft.

"Follow Zhein ya Pah. Later we will read the Two Sentences of the Creed.

"*Asyhadu an laa ilaaha illallaahu, wa asyhaduanna muhammadar rasuulullah".

Meaning:

"I testify that there is no God but Allah. And I testify that Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah*".

Papa Leo followed what Zhein had said. The two sentences of the creed were spoken well and smoothly by Papa Leo.

"Alhamdulillah.... Papah.." said Holy hugged his Papa tightly.

"Alhamdulillah Papa is now a Muslim. And Zhein will teach that Papa can be closer and get to know Allah SWT." said Zhein slowly.

"Alhamdulillah..thank you for giving the best way for Papa, to get to know Islam and know Allah SWT." said Papa Leo with a little hysterical.

"Already Pah. Zhein who should thank Papa was willing and sure to become a Muslim by converting. Zhein is proud of Papa." said Zhein politely and kissed the back of Papa Leo's hand as his service.

Suci and Zhein were happy for his guidance and Inayah which was directly revealed by Allah SWT to Papa Leo. The way Allah SWT wants His servant to return to the right path is very easy and sometimes unpredictable.

Just as Papa Leo experienced, it flows because of Your greatness, O God.
