A handsome young man with a tall body, just came out of the ablution in a large mosque not far from his home. Her gondrong hair almost touched her upper shoulder moistened with ablution water. He tidied up his folded arms so as not to be exposed to water. For a long time he was silent, standing before the Qibla. Red eyes and slightly swollen eye bags . He tried to focus on gathering his specialties to perform Dhuha prayers.

“Allahuakbar.” His mouth commits to reciting prayers to the takbiratul ihram. Not long after he could not resist his feelings of crying. He preached several times to ask for His forgiveness for breaking his prayer. The young woman wiped her tears, she kept quiet herself trying hard to focus again.

‘bismillah’ murmured “Allahuakbar.” the second takbir he said more solemnly, as hard as possible he tried to focus and keep his prayer movement until greeting.

The dhikr and the prophet's mouth adorned his prayer. He prayed softly with a feeling of hope and low self-esteem. The young man wept in his prayers to His Lord, and believed strongly that his prayers would be granted and true in his hope .
