LOVE OF ORDINARY MEN

Single-mindedness

Nurul walked into the room and saw a crowd of worshippers, who were looking at something. He tried to get closer and found Olivia who was there. The woman held one of the headscarves and asked for the price.

“What is this?” ask Olivia.

“That's eighty aja, Ukhti. Want to take that one?” ask the seller.

“Not take a pattern, Liv?” ask Nurul

“Cckk! Rames. I don't like it,” replied Olivia Ketus.

He took a hundred thousand note and gave it to the seller.

“I'll take this. Please wrap,” exciting Olivia.

“Siap, Ukhti,” said the seller with excitement because the trade sells again.

She wrapped up Olivia's property and gave her change.

“Still,” says Olivia fast.

“Sama-sama, Ukhti. Buy often yes,” said the seller.

Olivia returned to her seat that had been left behind, and was followed by Nurul who was also sitting next to her. The girl saw the look on Olivia's face that looked gloomy. Previously, although the woman had always been very strict with him, but only this time Nurul saw Olivia was silent with a gloomy aura.

“Liv, are you papa? How else is there a problem?” ask Nurul.

“Should I tell you? Kepo really,” sahut Olivia ketus.

“I'm not asking you to make a story. I'm just worried about your condition and who knows you really need a friend to vent,” said Nurul.

“Gue thought about it first,” said Olivia who again ketus.

This time the study is in the content of tausiah from Ustadzah Inayah, which happened to have the opportunity to attend in the afternoon today.

He gave a material study of a class in every Muslim.

“Islamic religion teaches that all acts of worship will not be accepted by God, if not accompanied by a full attitude of sincerity. This is stated in the letter Q.S. The fifth verse of al-Bayyinah reads 'And they were not told except to worship Allah by purifying obedience to Him in (running) a righteous religion.'"

“This attitude is a sincere act that can provide calm, peace for yourself and others. The attitude of sincerity has a close relationship with intention. Because the existence of sincerity depends on his intentions."

"It is important to understand what is meant by this sincere attitude, so that we avoid acts of worship or good deeds with intentions other than because of Allah SWT.” said Ustadzah Inayah.

Olivia seemed to be slapped by the words of the woman who was speaking in front of all the worshippers. He recalled what he had done all along.

All his changes, none of them were truly sincere because of God. She did it all to get the attention and sympathy of her husband.

During the study this time, Olivia looked more reserved. Even when the ustadzah opened the question and answer session, women who usually always convey many critical questions, are now silent and downcast.

He knew very well what the ustadzah said, without having to ask for details. It's all clear. Even Ms. Aminah asked Alzam not to force Olivia to change, except on her own sincerity.

But when the cleric was about to close the question-answer session, suddenly Olivia raised her hand limply.

“Oh, it turns out someone still wants to ask. Please stand first and convey the question,” exclaimed Ustadzah Inayah.

“Ustadzah, what if all this time, what we have done is not solely because of God, but for the sake of someone we love. Like husband. Is our husband guilty of what we do? Then, can we still be sincere because of God, even though initially because of other things? Can God believe what we believe?” ask Olivia.

“MashaAllah. This is a question that represents many of us. I'm sure not just one or two people have ever felt that way, but almost everyone has done it.”

“At times we start a good deed with intentions other than because of God. For example, pray for worshipers because they want to be praised or because they want to look more obedient. Or something else intended not because of God."

“However, as time goes by, someone could just change. His heart could have been tapped and made him a servant who always surrendered to the Creator. Be sincere in doing all things and intended solely because of God."

“From the question of the newspaper, God willing, God knows what I have been doing all this time and does not rule out the possibility that the guidance has entered, thus making ourselves feel ashamed and want to return to the original intention, he said, that is to surrender fully, to keep the commandments of Allah with all their sincerity."

“God willing, our husband was spared from sin, because after all through them the path of our goodness began. And keep in mind, Allah is All-Powerful, and there is no doubt in the least. So, don't hesitate if we want to change. Do not be afraid that God does not know the meaning of our hearts, because He is the one who knows the heart of his servant, ” replied Ustadzah Inayah.

After asking this question, Olivia kept quiet again until the study was finished. The chairman of the Assembly then went up to the podium and informed him that after this, they would jointly attend the wedding of one of their hijrah colleagues, who last week received pre-marital advice from Umi Afiyah.

“You've chat Alzam yet, Liv?” ask Nurul.

“Kepo very,” says Olivia Ketus.

“Bukan. After this we will go to the wedding of one of our friends, if you have not chat Alzam, you can join my bike. We go there together,” take Nurul.

“Ck! Serah you please. I haven't been able to chat Mas Al,” said Olivia upset.

She still does not want to be close to her husband's friend who continues to try to be friends with him.

After the lecture was closed, everyone went out and headed for their vehicles. They then together ride a motorcycle through the streets and head to their partner's wedding.

Arriving there, Olivia who was not too close to the others just sat down while daydreaming. Since then, Nurul also noticed that there was something different with Olivia even since at the place of study.

After the wedding, they all split up and went home. While on the road, Nurul passed a shop that was owned by Alzam and Olivia.

“Nur, stop!” olivia's Exclamation.

The woman even patted Nurul on the shoulder hard several times, until the girl pulled the brake lever firmly.

“What's up, Liv?” ask Nurul in panic.

“I want to stop by it,” said Olivia while pointing towards the Muslim fashion store.

Nurul turned in the direction that Olivia pointed. He seemed confused as to what his best friend's wife would do in that place.

“You didn't get the wrong point, did you?” tanya Nurul made sure.

“Bawels. Hunt follow me or just wait here,” exclaimed Olivia.

The woman then got off Nurul's motorbike, while the young teacher inevitably followed Olivia and entered the store.
