"Indeed I know there are other tissues anyway actually I'm not speeding this tissue. But, what's wrong is helping others find sustenance by buying his merchandise. Mas saw the little boy earlier, happy he was simple enough there to buy his merchandise, already can make him happy"

But when you have completed Ihram, you may hunt. Let not hatred (you) for a people, for they prevent you from the holy Mosque, encourage you to go beyond (to them). And help you in (doing) good deeds and piety, and do not help in sinning and enmity. And fear Allah, Allah is severe in punishment.
(QS. Al-Maidah verse 2)".
In a fairly simple building, Mas Abdul pulled over his car. He came out followed by Adel. Opened his trunk car to remove the items that contain his wear and Adel. Without any intention to help her husband who was in trouble carrying goods, she just walked in, circling the house that will be in her residence with the husband. It's not too bad for him to live here, even though this house is small for him. The girl sits casually on the sofa straightening her legs while playing HP. Abdul could only shake his head.
"Would you help me? " Tanya Adel made her husband's move stop.
"Help prayer" she said immediately laughed because she managed to prank her husband. Finished transporting his goods mas Abdul immediately cleaned himself to go to perform Friday prayers.
"Adel I say goodbye first, want to go Friday prayers at the front Mosque" Pamit Mas Abdul.
"You pray friday kok very rich fragrance to say "
"Wearing fragrances on Friday before going to perform Friday prayers is sunah"
Whoever takes a bath on Friday and has as much holiness as he can, then wears hair oil or perfumes, then goes to the Mosque and does not separate between two people, then prays according to his ability, and when the Imam begins the sermon, he is silent and listens to it and will be forgiven of his sins from this Friday until the next Friday. (HR.Bukhari and Muslim).
I go first, you also take a bath to clean your body in a moment. Assalamualaikum there was no answer from Adel that made Abdul mas stop his steps.
" Reply my greetings Adel. Answering the salutation is a law mandatory"
'Waalaikumussalam "Jawab Adel finally. Feels like having a husband if so, there is no day without a lecture Adel thought.
Dressed in white cocoa clothes with prayer mats attached to his shoulder, mas Abdul set out to perform Friday prayers. Throughout the journey of his lips he ceaselessly used to recite to Allah.
"Mas Abdul!" Call someone.
"Astaghfirullahaladzim Kaget mas Abdul.
Mas Abdul take the show Istighfar all, thought I was a demon said the man did not accept.
"Yes your own, suddenly came directly calling while patting people's shoulders"
"Hehe sorry. Mas Abdul when I returned to Jakarta when I saw his contract was quiet?"
"It was nyampe this afternoon. Naturally if you see the rent is quiet, I've moved not to live there anymore"
"Then Mas' wife? "
"She's coming, she's home now
How does it feel to be married?" Ask the young man Andi.
" Have a chat later, we're in the mosque is not the time to talk"
The two of them sat quietly listening to the Friday sermon that raised the theme of the month of Rajab.
Rajab is one of the months. Of the four months glorified by Allah SWT. The months of Dzulqoidah, Dhulhijjah, and Muharam
Rajab has meaning to Agung or Glory. The month of rajab is an important month for Muslims in this month the prophet Muhammad saw performing the Islamic miracle. And in this month also the five daily prayer orders that we usually do are revealed by Allah SWT. The Prophet Muhammad Saw. The month of rajab has many virtues in it.
The specialty of the month of Rajab is mentioned in the Qur’an and the hadith of the Prophet SAW. Allah SWT says in Surah At Taubah: 36.
“Verily the number of the moon by Allah is twelve months, (as) the decree of Allah (in the Way of Mahfuz) when He created the heavens and the earth, among which there were four illicit moons. That is the (perpetence) of a righteous religion, so do not judge yourself (of the four months), and fight the polytheists all as they fight you all. Know that Allah is with those who fear Him.”
O God, what a wonderful pleasure we can still meet this glorious month, lest we waste this holy month, many practices that we can do to add to our practice, one of which is Practice on Night 15 Rajab. Mentioned in Ibn Qudamah's Mukhtashar Minhajul Qashidin, Muslims are encouraged to live these special nights.
The Prophet said: “Whoever does a charitable work tonight, will surely have a hundred years' worth.” (Moslem HR).
Adel the girl went out to buy coffee, she came out of the house wearing a headscarf wrapped around her neck on orders from her husband. Walk casually towards the stall that is located not far from his house.
"Mom, I'm going to buy coffee "
"What coffee is neng? What coffee is yes" Adel thought she forgot to ask her husband.
"The coffee god day aja deh bu, so that the day is good according to the meaning of coffee" said Ngawur Adel.
"It could be neng".
Adel girl Extrovert so it is not difficult for her to blend in a new place, the proof was that with the pedenya she can go to the stall alone though, even though, there are many mothers gathered there.
In the yard of the motor home Beat was parked in his new home, making him wonder who was visiting in his house. Without saying hello the girl went inside with her hands carrying a crackle containing coffee and one hand holding the hijab that had been removed. Without excuse he passed the husband and his friend who he did not know, walking to the kitchen to make coffee.
Andi the young man, staring in surprise at the woman who had come in just like that, he also noticed the tight clothes he was wearing. Who's the lady? Thought it was impossible if it was his wife Mas Abdul. He knew what his boss's taste was like. Andi did not come at the wedding of his boss, so did not know if Adel was the wife of Mas Abdul.
