God's Choice of Mate

Habits of the Ummah family.

The atmosphere of dawn is so cool and calm. After myself and all the members of the family Ustad Fariz and Pak Budi, Bik Inah, Bik Siti and other household assistants at the Abi residence performed the morning prayers in congregation.We were all not allowed to sleep anymore.

Ustad Fariz told us all that sleeping after dawn is bad for our health. And in Islam it is forbidden for his servant to go back to sleep after dawn. The time of dawn becomes the time of downfall of a blessing and sustenance. So it is better after dawn to be our beginning to do activities with enthusiasm to get blessings and blessings from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

So we all busy ourselves by doing the practice after dawn prayer that is reciting prayer, recitation, dhuha prayer, almsgiving, and starting a useful activity.

Ustad Fariz, Kak Rafa accompanied by Pak Budi and Abi get ready to head to the car. They will distribute food, money and clothing and groceries. In order to do alms which became a routine activity of the habits of Ustad Fariz and all members of his family to provide some of the sustenance they had at dawn. The Ustad Fariz family followed the teachings of the Prophet Shallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to love charity and infidelity.

The mosque also told us that they chose the time after dawn to give alms. Because after dawn is the most special time to do alms. This is because there are many virtues in it, such as: follow in prayer by two angels, granted a request, property becomes a blessing, away from the torment of hell and take away all sins.

"By giving alms of course we will get blessings until given health and long life.

For alms is spending wealth or spending funds with the aim of drawing closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, "Enjid told us all.

However, after that Ustad Fariz also said before leaving, "Actually alms can be done at any time. However, almsgiving also has the priority in terms of timing. If a Muslim deliberately gives alms at the best times and in very precarious conditions such as times of disaster, and in the month of Ramadan, then his alms practice becomes heavier and more valuable,”tutur Ustad Fariz.

And after Ustad Fariz with Kak Rafa, Abi and Pak Budi are gone.

Enjid, Ummah and Wirda chose to read the Quran. While Bik Inah, Bik Siti and other household assistants immediately do household activities. And I chose to cleanse God by chanting while waiting for the time to perform the dhuha prayer.

"Audzubillah himinas syaiton nirojim. I take refuge in Allah from the temptation of the damned devil" I said softly beginning my dzkirk sentence by reading ta'awudz.

Then I read the verse of Kursi once, and read the letters of Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq, An Naas three times each of each letter.

"Ash-bahnaa wa ash-bahal mulku lillah walhamdulillah, laa ilaha illallah wahdahu laa syarika lah, lahul mulku walahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli syai-in qodir. Robbi as-aluka khoiro maa fii hadzal yaum wa khoiro maa ba’dahu, wa a’zu bika min syarri maa fii hadzal yaum wa syarri maa ba’dahu. Robbi a’udzu bika minal kasali wa su-il kibar. Robbi a’udzu bika min ‘adzabin fin naari wa ‘adzabin fil qobri.

We have entered the morning and the kingdom belongs to Allah, praise be to Allah. There is no god (who has the right to be worshipped) except Allah alone, no ally to Him. Belongs to God the kingdom and to Him praise. He is the Almighty of all things. O my Lord, I ask You for good today and good afterwards. I take refuge in You from evil today and evil thereafter. O my Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and ugliness in old age. O my Lord, I seek refuge in Thee from the torment of hell and the torment of the grave, "I read once.

"Allahumma bika ash-bahnaa wa bika amsaynaa wa bika nahyaa wa bika namuutu wa ilaikan nusyuur.

O Allah, with Your grace and help we enter in the morning, and with Your grace and help we enter into the evening. With Your grace and help we live and by Your will we die. And unto Thee the resurrection (for all creatures), "I read once.

Then I went on to read Sayyidul Istighfar once; "Allahumma anta robbii laa ilaha illa anta, kholaqtanii wa anaa ‘abduka wa anaa ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa wa’dika mas-tatho’tu. A’udzu bika min syarri maa shona’tu. Abu-u laka bi ni’matika ‘alayya wa abu-u bi dzambii. Fagh-firlii fainnahu laa yagh-firudz dzunuuba.

O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You who created me. I am Your servant. I will be as faithful to My covenant with You (i.e., I will keep You) as I can and I am sure of Your promise (make heaven for me). I take refuge in You from the ugliness I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings to me and I confess my sins. Therefore, forgive me. No one forgives sins but you.

"Allahumma inni ash-bahtu usy-hiduka wa usy-hidu hamalata ‘arsyika wa malaa-ikatak wa jami’a kholqik, annaka antallahu laa ilaha illa anta wahdaka laa syariika lak, wa anna Muhammadan ‘abduka wa rosuuluk.

O God, I have witnessed this morning that You, the angel who bears Your ‘Arys, Your angels and all Your creatures, are truly God, there is no god but You, no ally to You, and Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger, "I read four times.

Then I continued to ask for protection and salvation for religion, the world, family and property from all kinds of disturbances coming from all directions, and I read once;

"Allahumma innii as-alukal ‘afwa wal ‘aafiyah fid dunyaa wal aakhiroh. Allahumma innii as-alukal ‘afwa wal ‘aafiyah fii dinii wa dun-yaya wa gawiki wa maalii. Allahumas-tur ‘awrootii wa aamin row’aatii. Allahummahfazh-nii mim bayni yadayya wa min kholfii wa ‘an yamii wa ‘an simaalii wa min fawqii wa a’zu bi ‘azhomatics an ughtala min tahtii.

O Allah, I ask for righteousness and salvation in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask for righteousness and salvation in my religion, world, family and property. O Allah, cover up my law (a disgrace and something that is not worth seeing) and keep me safe from fear. O Allah, guard me from the face, from the back, from the right, from the left and from above. I take refuge with Your greatness, that I may not be struck from under me (by snakes or by drowning in the earth and others that make me fall)".

"Allahumma ‘aalimal ghoybi wasy shahaadah faathiros samawati wal ardh. Robba kulli shai - in wa malikah. Asyhadu alla ilaha illa. A’udzu bika min syarri nafsii wa min syarrisy syaythooni wa syirkihi, wa an aqtarifa ‘alaa nafsii suu-an aw ajurrohu ilaa muslim.

O Allah, the Knower of the Unseen and the Real, O Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of all things and of all things. I testify that there is no god but You. I take refuge in You from the evil of myself, Satan and his balatents (temptation to shirk Allah), and I (protect You) from doing harm to me or dragging him to a Muslim, "I read it once and quietly.

Then I continued reading the dhikr.

"Bismillahilladzi laa yadhurru ma’asmihi syai-un fil ardhi wa laa fis samaa’ wa huwas samii’ ‘aliim.

In the name of Allah, when it is called, all things on earth and sky will not be dangerous, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, "I read three times.

Slowly I took a breath and continued reading the dhikr;

"Rodhiitu billaahi robbaa wa bil-islaami diinaa, wa bi-muhammadin shallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallama nabiyya.

I ridha Allah as Rabb, Islam as religion and Muhammad shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam as prophet, "I say three times.

"Yaa Hayyu Ya Qoyyum, bi-rohmatika as-taghiits, wa ash-lih li sya’nii kullahu wa la takilnii ilaa nafsii thorfata ‘ainin Abadan.

O Lord Almighty, Lord of the Alone (does not need everything), I ask for help with Your grace, correct all my affairs and do not leave me even a blink of an eye (without Your help), "I say this dhikr once.

"Ash-bahnaa ‘ala fithrotil islaam wa ‘alaa salahil ikhlaash, wa ‘alaa dini nabuyinaa Muhammadin shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, wa ‘alaa millati abiina Ibraahiima haniifam muslimaaw wa maa kaana minal mushyrikin.

In the morning we hold the religion of Islam, sincere sentences (sayahat), the religion of our Prophet Muhammad shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, and the religion of our father Ibrahim, which stands on the straight path, which is, muslim and not among the polytheists, "I said once.

"Subhanallah wa bi-hamdih.

Glory be to Allah, I praise Him, "I say a hundred times.

For a while I paused my voice for a while, and set the tempo for my breath to resume dhikr.

"Laa ilaha illallah wahdahu laa syarika lah, lahul mulku walahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli syai-in qodir.

There is no god but Allah, no ally to Him. For him the kingdom and all its praise. He is the one who has power over all things, "as many as ten times as I have spoken this dhikr.

"Laa ilaha illallah wahdahu laa syarika lah, lahul mulku walahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli syai-in qodir.

There is no god but Allah, no ally to Him. Belongs to God the kingdom and all praise. He is the one who rules over all things, "I read a hundred times to avoid the interference of Satan.

"Subhanallah wa bi-hamdih, ‘adada kholqih wa ridhoo nafsih. wa zinata ‘arsyih, wa midaada kalimaatih.

Most Holy of God, I praise Him as much as His creatures, as far as His will, as heavy as His ‘Arsy scales and as much as the ink of His words, "I say three times.

"Allahumma innii as-aluka ‘ilman naafi’a, wa rizqon thoyyibaa, wa ‘amalan mutaqobbalaa.

O Allah, I ask You for useful knowledge (for myself and for others), lawful and charitable provision received (on Your side and good reward), " I read it once.

"Astagh-firullah wa atuubu.

I asked God for forgiveness and repented to Him, "I said a hundred times in one sitting.

Al-lazina amanu wa tatma'innu qulubuhum bizikrillah, ala bizikrillahi tatma'innul-qulub.

That is to say: (i.e.,) those who believe and their hearts are at peace with the remembrance of Allah. Remember, it is only by remembering Allah that the heart is at ease.”

The sun began to rise and rise,the radiance can be felt from the window of the mushalla in the residence of the house of Ustad Fariz.I still hear Wirda who learned to improve his recitation of the Qur'an with Ummah.Sound several times Ummah patiently corrected Wirda's reading, ' Wirda's reading ,and make Wirda repeat again and launch the tajwid reading and makharijul letters to be correct when reciting them.

Wirda also sounded not objected or despair of it.She even sounded excited to learn to improve reading

His Qur'an agar tartil(sexama).

And Ummah who saw me was trying to stand up to them immediately asked Wirda to help lead my way.

With the help of Wirda I have been sitting near Ummah and Vinda.While Enjid is taking the water again to prepare to perform dhuha prayers while waiting for the sunlight when it is about one spear high two meters according to the standard size of the current length.And if measured with time then the sun at a position as high as one spear approximately 15 minutes after rising.

" It turns out that reading the Qur'an with tartil and according to the science of tajwid is also very difficult huh Ummah?" said Wirda.

Ummah gave a small smile hearing Wirda's words."If our intention is to learn the Qur'an by lillah expecting ridho from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.InshaAllah will all be facilitated by Allah.As long as we really intend to learn it."

"Yes Ummah, Wirda will strive diligently to improve the reading of the Quran' an Wirda to fit the tajwid and tartil," said Wirda eagerly.

Ummah was very happy to hear Wirda's words and rubbed Wirda's head gently.

"Precision or benefit of studying and reading

The Quran with tajwid

good and right is highly recommended to us Muslims Wirda.

Reading the Qur'an is the best recitation to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, who has

various advantages and advantages compared to reading

another reading," Ummah told Wirda.I also listened to what Ummah said to Wirda.

"Why is that Ummah?" asked Wirda.

Ummah again explained to Wirda gently and affectionately.

"Because in the Qur'an there are the commandments and laws of Allah subhanahu wa ta' ala, which invites us to worship Him. By reason of

reading the Qur'an must be true according to the established rules

.Because

pronounce each letter in accordance with its rights, both properties and

makhrajnya, in order to know the procedure for reading the Qur'an

the truth must first master the trees

discussion of the law of reading that is in the science of tajwid, such as:

death nun law or tanwin, death mim law, idgham, mad law, mad law,

and so forth. The law of reading

The Qur'an is Fardhu'ain

that is if done will be reward and if left out then

it will be sinful," Ummah explained to Wirda.

Wirda nodded his head and understood what Ummah had said to him.

"Studying the science of tajwid is highly recommended for all people

Islam so that it can read the Qur'an smoothly, well and

thats right. Because reading the Qur‟an is not just reading it, either,

but reading it must be true according to the rules

stipulated. Therefore, in order to know the ways

to read the true Qur'an must first

mastering the points of discussion of the existing reading law, "tutur Ummah again.

" Well Ummah then, Ummah will teach Wirda to learn tajwid science. So that Wirda can read

Al-Qu'ran well and correctly," Wirda told Ummah.

" Of course Ummah was very happy to teach Wirda in learning the science of tajwid so that Wirda could read

Al-Qu'ran well and correctly, and can read it with tartil," said Ummah while rubbing Wirda's head with affection. "Aalhamdulillah .Thank you, Ummah," Wirda replied with a pleased speech. "Yes Wirda is the same," said Ummah.

"Well then, let us now perform the dhuha prayer" Ummah told me and Wirda.

"Yes Ummah" I answered and Wirda simultaneously.

I, Wirda and Ummah immediately rushed to take water wushu to immediately perform dhuha prayers.
