GOODBYE

78. explanations

“By heart, Ustadz. The toughest is indeed shirk khafi, shirk hidden in the heart. Shirk majazi, forms of blatant idolatry, is also heavy because it includes shirk. But, we are not if we worship blind ijo, right? The complicated, the entrenched in the heart. The word of the Prophet, shirk in the life of this people is more subtle than the black ant crotch on the black stone bed in the darkness of night. Well.”

Amir. “Clearned..,” she asks.

“Ask the heart, is there anything more frightening than God? Because that was God to him. Sanulqii fii quluubil ladzina kafaruu ru'ba bimaa asyrakuu billaah, We will put into the hearts of the unbelievers fear because they associate with Allah. Look at the letter of Ali Imran verse one five one. To have fear of other than Allah is to associate Him with what he fears. Fear of poverty, then the god is poverty. Fear of hell, and God is hell. Fear of God means that God is God. Only this last one is the true fear. Fear others, work of the devil.”

“Fear of hell too?” Amir gawking.

“Iya,” Akas smiled. “Hell is creation. Fear the One Who Created, not His creation. Cook the same scared creation, but daring to oppose the Creator? Nothing from there, ah..”.

“Bur the!” Munhar interrupted, his face turning red. “That said no fear of hell, obviously takabur people!”

“The takabur are those who do not fear Allah. Those who do not return to God. Those who are blind in the eyes of his heart, deaf in the ears of his heart. Those who do not put God as their only hope. Those who do not place God as their only protector. Those who fear other than Allah associate Allah with the fear. If Akang is afraid of hell, please.I am afraid of the One Who Has Hell!" checkmate from Akas. All right, it's about time this old friend got tackled harder.

Tense ambience....

“Eem, Mas, can it be again, no?” Echan split tensely.

“Bby, Chan. As long as I am still allowed to talk by Yang Punya,” Akas nengir.

So, Echan who might not understand the meaning of Akas' words turned to look towards Munhar. “Can not, sir?” she asked.

Munhar silently scowled. I laugh in my heart. Pay also “haji abiding” this, kayak kids only. But, he who has a story, the other is powerless.

“May not, Sir?” Echan forced anyway.

“Please...,” replied Munhar lazily.

Akas nyerdeh again. Aya-aya wae is this old old friend, just like he has. The host may. Indeed, if there is no Akas or Aji Bugel, Munhar is the source. Lifting himself into a source, that is. Be happy, each one's responsibility.

“Lha, if you are afraid of the devil how, Mr Kas?” Echan continued asking.

“Hehe.... It's the same, Chan. You fucked up ah. I guess I'll ask what. Be prepared, nih.”

“Ee, haphazard. This heavyweight question. If you are afraid of the devil, it means you do not dare to fight demons, right? How to try?”

I chuckled again, “Echan, Echan.... Ask Ustadz Amirlah.”

“Wah, don't know me,” sambar Amir. It feels vague, undercooked. Instead of being wrong, Mending said he didn't know. Safe.

“OK, okay. Look, you said earlier, being afraid of demons means not daring to fight demons, right?” Akas took over.

“It. His name is also fear.”

“Keep, what did he do after not daring to fight?”

Echan was silent, thinking it looked like.

“What hayo? Cepetan..”.

“Hehe.... Well, that's the answer.”

And so, Echan was jolted, Ustadz Amir too, the following others. In fact, including Munhar, who has a home.

“As already discussed, all forms of fear to other than Allah, the fact is Satan. When a person is afraid of the devil, then he will “ dare” defy God. Because, he kebetot want Satan who is in charge of distancing kira from the straight path, under the command of the commander-in-chief of the demon laknatullah. So, yesterday Soleh said do not be afraid of the devil, even if say they give birth a thousand per second. Wh why? Because, it is not worth the Muslims fear the devil. Bluntly, who is afraid of the devil, do not understand Islam.”

Silent moment.

“The last one was, how can it be?” Amir asked again.

“For the devil is our enemy. This is God's word, not creature's. The verse is, the letter of Faathir verse six. In surat al-A'raaf there are also. Innasy syaithaana lakumaa 'aduwum mubiin, the devil is a real enemy for you. If it is not wrong in paragraph twenty-two.”

“Terus, how to be able to fight demons?” Amir shot again.

“Well, here it is. Frankly, there's only one way, Ustadz, there's no other way. If the language of mathematics, if and only if.”.

“If and only if, how?”

“If and only if we return to Him. That's the only way. All other ways, the fact is this."

“Coach?”

“It. Those who are capable of demonizing, those who have demons. We are helpless. Feel the laa haula walaa quwwata illa billaah. Don't just talk about “Ia hola la hola" while mewek-girl. Remember the treasure is gone, not God. He who gives, He also takes. When given, forget. When taken, mewek. Nope, hehehe..”.

“Open-open, how?” Amir nguber. While Munhar and some others more frowned because of the mewek “Ia hola” case just now.

“Yes, back to God. Wa lillaahi maa fis samaawaati wamaa fil ardhi, wa ilallaahi turja'ul umuur. To Allah belongeth all that is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him shall return all things. That's one of the propositions, Ali Imran's letter one blank nine. Look, back to Him all business. So give it all back, born and inner. Don't haul anywhere else.”

“How to return, how?” still nguber also Ustadz this stampas.

“Reach first true faith. Innahuu laisa lahuu sulthaanun 'al ladziina aamanuu wa 'alaa rabbihim yatawakkaluun, indeed Satan has no power over those who believe and fear his Lord. That's the proposition, Ustadz. See the letter of an-Nahl verse ninety-nine. If there is faith, it must be with the fear. Faith, that. The original, do not use imitation items.”

And so Amir bowed.

“At one time, Ustadz, with His infinite grace, we will be able to realize that even fear of God is not right. At first it was so, various fears rolled into only one fear, namely to God. Then, when ‘Azza wa Jalla deigns to open our hearts to feel how ar-Rahmaan and ar-Rahiim are not just words, is still the fear? No, because the overflow of His Rahman and Rahim is every moment poured out on us, whether we are aware of it or negligent. The Word of His Majesty, Allah is more merciful towards His servant than a mother to her child. That's picture. Understand that hope is the life form of fear. When we fear God, we are seeking His hope. Do not despair of His Grace...."

That was the end of the conversation that night. Akas enough to get there. Because, to there again must be with taste. It has gone beyond the word limit. When parting, Munhar and some others still show a face that does not like the study. I'm just relaxing. He gave it back to Him, because of all He. So, this haqqul yaqin too.

Then, the relationship stretches by itself. No more laws. Two or three times Akas visited there, it was noted that most of the old friends did not after receiving it. If you meet on the street, say hello just a pleasantie. Starting from Pakunchen to Ulekan, no old friends visited except Amir and Echan.

But, there was a difference in intent between Amir and Echan. If it was Echan, it was just coming because he didn't feel like he had a problem with Akas. He did not want to create a wedge in his friendship with this former baker.

While Amir, secretly containing shrimp behind peyek. He wants to know what is called the true faith. It's just that, when in Pakuncen, there is already taufik but not yet with guidance. So, it's still jammed. Hidayah had only appeared in Amir when Akas was in Ulekan. Be he read there to receive al-Irfan. Then, the soaring Ustadz stamplas accompanied the footsteps of Agis, Asep, and Azis. Be triple “A" change quartet. Agis, Asep, Azis, and Amir. Including also the friends of Bail and Soleh of course, who first keceplatinya.

After having sparks of true faith, without hesitation Amir came to the group of old friends. Reportedly, there he said loudly to them, "Makanya, do not click!”

Wuih, taklik men's. Akas also confirmed it, “Taklid, Ustadz. Not taklik.” But, yes, back and forth straightened still bouncy taklik. Once taklik remains untlik. Yes, what is important is that it does not mean what is said. It is difficult to twist his tongue if the former jeger stomplas so ustadz. Ono-ono...
