My Sacrifice is worthless

Lafaz Shahadatku Ibu Pov 3

Two days later, Adi and his parents and uncle returned to visit us. Their arrival this time was to set the date of our marriage, both customarily and islamically.

Well, in my village if anyone is going to get married should use village marriage or customary marriage. After that it is up to want to marry the government again or not. Of course, with marriages known to the government, we as women have a strong legal basis as wives and women.

The date of the marriage has been agreed upon by both parties. Tomorrow we will register our marriage in KUA with the requirements. Then register with the custom head in my village. My aunt and I did not ask for a large dowry, but they still gave to eat with the guests present. My special dowry was to ask him to lead me to recite the Shahada.

Just imagine it, my heart is pounding. Dreaming of a happy family with adorable cute children, who will later become solace and friends as they age.

***

The day we were waiting for arrived. Today we will get married first. All the requirements of the customary head we have prepared including animals that are required to have the ceremony.

We sat facing the customary head. All the wedding trinkets and guests were present. The customary chief started the wedding ceremony, we listened and followed him solemnly. With all the processes we went through, we ended up being lawful as husband and wife in custom. However, it is not yet legal in the eyes of my husband's religion, so we have not been able to live together. Tomorrow we will get married in KUA and in front of the penghulu.

The next day, we and the group sat in front of the ruler who was going to marry us. Before that, he taught my husband to lead me to recite the Shahada in order to become a true convert.

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ

"ASHHADU AN LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH, WAYHADUANNA MUHAMMADAR RASUULULLAH".

Meaning:

"I testify that there is no God but Allah. And I testify that the Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah"

The word Shahadah is one of the pillars of Islam that must be practiced by every Muslim, because the strong is very important for Muslims then in the pillars of Islam placed in the first order.

Syahadah has the meaning of someone speaking verbally and allowing from the heart then practice it either behaviorally or in action.

This Syahadah sentence is also said at the time of the Marriage Certificate, because indeed as one of the martyrs of marriage is Muslim and indeed that they promise to always keep the commandments of Allah and avoid the prohibition.

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Anna bint Ajir with the dowry, cash !!"

There was a word of martyrdom from our family and family. I was moved, not expecting to be in this phase, married denfan a Muslim. I chose the path as a Muslim and abandoned my religion from birth. I sincerely to reach Allah Azza Wa Jalla paradise with my husband, wading through a safe household mawaddah warohmah, lasting the world to jannah. Barakallah.

I kissed the back of my husband's hand in reverence, he kissed me on the forehead. How romantic. Alternately we greet the parents and family present. A warm hug I got from the mother-in-law who has now become my mother. The mother who gave birth to my husband.

We received a short talk from the ruler about marriage.

"The marriage will fill half the dien antum (your religion. Red). As great as anything before marriage, still not complete our Islamic existence. The marriage is circumcision, sunnah Rosul means anyone who grows up then it is recommended to get married immediately, because by getting married it will get inner peace,"

"With this marriage contract from now on this newlywed has a SIM," pak pengulu handed the marriage surah to both of us,"

"Yesterday you have 2 parents and now you both have 4 parents, namely parents and in-laws (the fact is the same name is different), for that make them smile, filial and ridho. For the riddho of God depends upon the ridhonya of the parents,"

"It is important to note, that marriage is the beginning of the unification of destiny to share love and affection with each other. Advising each other so as to create what is aspired in the family and to continue the task as caliph fil ardy,"

"Home life is not always perfect, sometimes when we experience the difficulty and difficulty of carrying out the task as the main support of the family, deliberately or not there is a feeling of blame, although it is sometimes a trivial problem."

Gratitude unceasingly flowed into my mouth. God has made His way for me. May I be a true convert in His Way.

After marriage, my husband brought me to live with his parents. I have no objection at all because I can be devoted to them. I want to get love from parents I never had.

I paid my aunt a farewell. My brothers still live for a few days at aunt's house. They are very supportive of my choice at the moment.

"Originally you're happy, Deck. We always support whatever your decision is. May you always get along well with your husband" my brother said.

My second brother is married and has one daughter. May Allah be soon placed in my womb.

Here, I help my mother-in-law in the rubber garden, sometimes not. I don't want to be too tired because I have a husband and a household to take care of. When the durian season comes, I'll be waiting for their garden. Waiting one by one the fruits fell from the tree. My husband only works as a rubber farmer like the average person here.

One year of marriage, I finally got pregnant with our first child. What an immeasurable gift, there is life living in my womb. My husband is very happy and my father and mother-in-law are no exception. Ever since I was pregnant, my husband and in-laws have spoiled me a lot. I can't come with them to the garden and can't work hard according to them, just cook.

My mother-in-law wanted a grandchild. He really hopes that someday it will be useful and diligent like my husband. Another case with the husband and father-in-law, they accept whatever gender my son, which is important healthy.

"Mommy hopes, the first grandchild of the mother will be a boy in order to guide her younger siblings later," said the mother that afternoon.

"What are you, ma'am, as long as our grandchildren are healthy" replied the father.

"Yes ma'am, right said the father, the important healthy mother and child during the process of giving birth," continued my husband.

"Yes, I know. You just aspire to it, not wrong, right?" murmurings.

"Yes, I hope, Mom? But, whatever my future baby may be, I hope we all love him" I said in response to the wishes of the in-laws.

Without notice, 9 months have passed, just waiting for the day to give birth. Everything we have prepared, only the name remains, because it does not know whether my son is a boy or a girl.

At dawn, as usual, I woke up early to prepare my husband and in-laws. I don't know why my stomach feels heartburn, when I take it to the toilet I don't want to lose that heartburn. Every minute the heartburn will increase. Because I couldn't stand it, I woke up my husband, he looked confused. Mom came to check on me if it was time for me to give birth.

The birthmark is out. I really couldn't stand the pain, like my 20 bones would break. The pain is repeated, but it is not yet born. Until the coming of Maghrib then the sound of crying echoed throughout the house. I am so happy to see that innocent face. My husband and I cried to witness the evidence of God's power.

"Your daughter, Na. Healthy and fit weight," explained the mother, because it was the mother who helped me give birth. At first, I looked a little disappointed. But a moment later he laughed as he cleaned up my son. Then leave it to the husband to be convicted. It was my feeling to hear the voice of the Adhan from my husband for our son. May one day be a child of Sholeh and useful to anyone.

My little baby we named Ita, which means, The way of life is peaceful, free, happy and perfect. Hope Ita will grow up to be a strong child facing anything. Aamiins.
