It's up to God

Surprise to Nadira

"You were never needed in their lives. The proof, they have rarely even had time to share your growth and development. Even now your brother will soon be married, surely his affection will be divided; between you and his wife in the future. You have no one else! Maybe you're just a burden to them, that's why when someone wants to marry you, they agree to it."

Nadira continues to curse herself in front of the mirror. He sank back with his mind so noisy. The sky was suddenly cloudy, the rain fell on the Al Fathonah boarding school this morning. Representing the feeling of a very clever woman knitting this word.

It is only natural that Nadira misses the presence of her family that was not seen during this past month. Even before Nadira moved, he could still meet, at least once a week or two. Every phone calls, always asking Hafiz (the first child of Nadira and Ammar), but now the busyness makes Nadira jealous. Especially in the past few days, Nadira needs her brother who is always a confiding friend. However, as Nadira has realized, everyone must have their own busyness. Sometimes, it makes it difficult to meet people we care about.

"Dude, Nadira! What do you think, anyway? Don't think weird. They are busy again" said Nadira, shaking her head.

Sometimes Nadira sees a clock on her phone. Hope there is a call that suddenly comes in or at least a message; tell the happy news. Nadira looked gloomy, but in front of others; she tried to cover up her sadness.

Nadira took water wudu, then salat to calm his heart and mind. In addition to diligent obligatory prayers, he always took the prayer of the sunah in the midst of his busy life as a writer. He is also a motivator and inspiration that everyone greatly admires. Even though he actually needs motivation as a reinforcement. Luckily there is Ammar who now accompanies the journey of his life. Whatever happened in Nadira's life, Ammar participated in guiding Nadira according to Islamic law. Nadira and Ammar are the ideal couple. They think not only about the world, but what is done in the world; always think about how the future impacts. Is there a positive influence on their lives after death or is it a negative one? They are not perfect, but they are trying to perfect.

Now Nadira is ready to complain to God. He asks for sustenance, health, salvation of the world and the Hereafter, and other things. Salat Duha has an extraordinary priority for those who carry it out. One of the virtues of the Duha prayer for those who diligently perform it will get the same reward as they give alms.

The Duha Salat is a prayer performed by a Muslim during the time of Duha. Duha time is the time when the sun began to rise approximately 7 cubits from the rising, until the time of Zuhr. The number of Duha prayer rakaat is 2, 4, 6, 8, and a maximum of 12 rakaat. How to do it every 2 rakaat once.

Quoted from various sources, the primacy of Duha prayer that we need to know in a hadith narrated by a Muslim from Abu Dharr, the Prophet Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam said as follows: “In the morning, all must give alms. Every reading of Tasbih (Subhanallah) can be alms, every reading of Tahmid (Alhamdulillah) can be alms, every reading of Tahlil (Laa ilaha illallah) can be alms, every reading of Tahmid (Alhamdulillah) can be alms, and every Takbir (read Allahu akbar) can also be alms. Likewise, Amar ma'ruf (calling for obedience) and Nahi munkar (preventing evil) are alms. All that can be fulfilled (replaced) by performing Duha prayers two Rakaat.” (Muslim History)

In the hadith of Nu'aim bin Hammar Al Ghathafan he heard the Prophet Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam saying the following words: "Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said: O son of Adam, son of Adam, do not leave the four rakaat prayers at the beginning of the day (at the time of Duha). That's enough for you at the end of the day." (Hadith Chronicle of Ahmad, Abu Daud, At Tirmidhi, Ad Darimi)

In a hadith, the Prophet Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam said as follows: “Whosoever does the Duha prayer forever, then Allah will forgive his sin, though his sin is as great as the foam of the sea.” (Tirmidhi History)

Prophet Muhammad Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam once said in a hadith: “Whoever prayers Duha as much as twelve rakaats, then Allah will build a palace for him in heaven.” (Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah)

Salat duha includes the Salat Awwabn (Peating Person) because Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala also includes those who pray Duha into the group of people who return (repent) to Allah. It is narrated from Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu ‘anha, that he said: 'Rasulullah said: "Nobody protects the prayer of Duha, except those who return to Allah in repentance." The Prophet said: “Salat Duha is the prayer of one who returns to Allah in a state of repentance.” (Hadith History of al-Hakim and Muslim Imams)

Ghanimah or profit or wealth is more quickly achieved with the permission of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala by regularly performing Duha prayers, such as the Prophet Muhammad Salallahu's Word 'Alaihi Wasallam follows: “Get the victory (ghanimah) and hurry back! Lastly, they discussed among themselves the proximity of the objectives (places) of the war and the amount of spoils (victories), which had to be won and returned quickly (due to the close distance).

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in Surah Assy-Shams verse 1 which reads, "By the sun and its light in the morning." Allah swears by the sun and its light at the time of Duha. Many scientists and researchers believe that morning light is best for the health of the human body. Such as infrared which is useful for reducing muscle pain and ultraviolet which is useful as a photocatalyst that nourishes human skin because of its vitamin D content.

In the hadith narrated At Thabrani mentioned: “Whoever prayers Duha two rakaat, it will not be written as a negligent person. Whoever does it even four rakaats are written as worshipers. Whoever does it six rakaat, he will be saved that day. Whoever does it for eight rakaats, Allah makes him a devout man. And whosoever does it for twelve rakaats, Allah will build for him a house in heaven.” (History of At-Thabrani)

When someone performs the Duha prayer, he automatically also performs one of the prayers of the Prophet Muhammad Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam which has many privileges and benefits. Prophet Muhammad Salallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam always performed Duha prayers as much as four rakaats.

Nadira gave up her face and magic, after the Duha prayer, Nadira's happiness came when she learned that her family came to visit the Al Fathonah boarding school and let go of longing with her. This is a very precious moment, because Nadira was able to meet the people she loved and spend time together.

In this situation, it is very important for us to appreciate the time and busyness of others, but also not to forget that we have family and the closest people who are always there for us. We can choose to stay in touch and keep in touch with those people, even though distance and busyness sometimes make it difficult for us to meet. One way to keep the relationship going is to communicate regularly and give each other support.

Quietly it turns out Ammar knew this the day before his in-laws and brother-in-law came. Both Nadira's parents and her brother came to the boarding school because there was a cooking competition in an area not far from the Al Fathonah boarding school. Smile from Nadira's face. They also miss.
