Hubbak Ghali, Yes Habibi Qolbi

Saying Two Words of Shahadah

The morning after the activities in the house were over, Qianzy called her three best friends to help her clean the bathroom tub that had begun to get dirty. Romli, Rudi and Muslih are always there if Qianzy is in need.

"What do you call the three of us, Qian?" ask Romli. 

"I-i-iya, w-what's up? W-why do you ... call ka-we?" sahut Rudi's. 

"Ka-" Muslih said came to a halt as Qianzy raised her palm. "Don't ask again. One of them will ask,"

Qianzy wants to know all things related to Anjani. Qianzy was still upset by Anjani's treatment of her brother yesterday. 

"Oh, is that all? That's gampil, Qian. In the afternoon, the information about the Anjani family will be given to you soon," replied Romli agreeing to what Qianzy wanted. 

"But remember .. Neither Mas Abid nor Ustadzah Husain should anyone know I need information about that bitch, okay?" 

The three Qianzy companions agreed. The three of them had already considered Qianzy his own close friend. But, there are things that make Romli feel privileged by Qianzy, because it is always trusted by the 19-year-old girl. 

"I think so, yeah. Qian likes me the same. Many times he asked for help from me and relied on me because of it" said a Romli. 

"The Tian asked the three of us. He knows you're smart, so he thinks you're reliable. But it turns out no, you can be relied on by Qian thanks to both of us knowing too!" sahut Muslih did not accept. 

"Here, I'm sure, cf. Matt! That Qian must like me. She fits me, really!" romli said confidently. 

Rudi and Muslih stared at each other, they fell in love, then lived in Germany. Of course not, they laugh at Romli with his excess confidence. 

"Hahaha, if that's true .. Qianzy's eyes must be myopic. His brain must have been able to like a man like you, Rom, hahaha-" said Muslih. 

"Ki-kita i-iya right, sa-saja. Let her be as nice as she is, Lih," not even Rudi could believe that Qianzy liked Romli. 

Despite Romli's high-confident window story, Qianzy finally steadied herself to follow her brother's beliefs. By noon, with all the students watching, Qianzy will hold two sentences of shahada with guided by her own brother. 

In the great hall, everyone gathered. Of course there is a barrier that has been prepared by the pesantren so that the santri son and daughter do not look at each other. 

"Qian, ready?" abid asked in a whisper. 

Qianzy took a deep breath, stroked her chest gently and smiled broadly answering her brother's question, if she was okay. 

Back then, Qianzy wore a white robe and hijab. With thin makeup can look sweet and graceful with narrow eyes. It is steady from the heart, if he wants to follow the faith according to his heart. 

As Husain said, "You were born a Muslim. Me and Mas Abid won't force you. After all, you are not great in a Muslim environment But, all the sins you commit will still be the responsibility of Father and Mas Abid as your Father and older brother, Qian."

According to what Qianzy had read, she felt fear in every strand of her hair, every inch of her skin becoming a fiery ember for her Father and older brother. The kindness of his adoptive parents has been applied in him. 

Now, Qianzy considers that she belongs to Abid and his new God. So, what Qianzy wants to do, will definitely be accounted for by her Father and Sister until later she gets married. 

 Everyone has the right to choose and embrace religion according to their own beliefs and beliefs. This includes people who convert to Islam or other names of non-Muslims who convert or embrace Islam.

There is no set time when it is good to convert because all days are good. So, for those of you who have been convinced to embrace Islam, you can at any time become a convert.

So, how to become a legal convert in the eyes of religion and state administration? Then, what is the law in Islam for a convert?

"One of them did circumcision. Compulsory for men, and indifferent for women. There are five things: circumcision, shaving hair*******, cutting nails, plucking underarm hair, and shaving whiskers," Abid continued. (H.R Muslim 257). 

"Then the second, say two sentences of the creed. The third is a big bath, the third is carrying out the pillars of Islam. So, Qianzy, are you ready?" 

Qianzy nodded. He has set the pace. 

"Well, follow what I'm going to say, yeah ….,"

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

Ashhadu an laa ilaaha illallaahu, wa asyhaduanna muhammadar rasuulullah.

"The Lord testifies that there is no god but Allah. And (i testify) that the Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."

The two sentences were followed smoothly and correctly by Qianzy. After that, all the witnesses uttered hamdalah. 

"Happy brother, you have now been reborn. How you feeling?" abid asked with teary eyes. 

Qianzy touched her chest again. Subjugating for so long, then raising both his hands and glimpsing like his two biological parents were behind Abid and smiling at him. 

"My mom and dad smiled. My mom and dad also waved. My heart is so calm, peaceful and also feels light, Mas," Qianzy replied softly. 

"Goddess …,"

Regardless of what Qianzy saw, it was probably just a delusion for Abid. However, he was very happy to find his sister who was already at peace with him. 

"Then, a big shower …? Can Abid explain?" qianzy continued curious. 

A big bath is something that must be done by someone who has embraced Islam. If you have said the word shahadah, immediately take a big bath. As hadith, as,

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُرِيدُ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَغْتَسِلَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ

I went to Nabi Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to embrace Islam. Then he told me to take a bath with water and bidara leaves. (CHR. Abu Daud 355 – shahih)

"After this, all your files will be in order for Ustadz Husain to clear them. I have a present for you, "Abid took something from behind his body. 

A medium-sized box wrapped but using light blue paper. With enthusiasm, Qianzy immediately accepted it and immediately opened the gift from her brother. 

The gift box contained her late mother's diary when she was pregnant with Qianzy. There was much hope that his mother had written about in the book. Abid also bought her a headscarf embroidered by herself. The five headscarves have the Qianzy name engraving. 

"It's so pretty, I love it" Qianzy said with tears that began to wet her cheeks. 

"Alhamdulillah if you like. You will be happy if you wear it. Come on, you see again, what's in it," 

An iqra', and a set of prayer tools that include mukena, the Qur'an, prayer beads and also prayer mats. It was the most special gift Qianzy had gotten in her life for 19 years. 

Although he used to be an agnostic, no one gave a gift that could bring him closer to one of the Gods in his Country. Qianzy hugged her brother while saying a thousand words of thanks.
