Picking Back the Crashed Way

28 . The Assembly of Science

A few minutes later, Zahrana and her friends arrived at her home.

There are already some teenagers the age of Zahrana who are ready to learn to teach with Buya Harun, some are aged 15 years to 17 years. Today is a special schedule for teaching teenagers. They consisted of 11 teenage girls and 9 teenage boys.

In the house Zahrana there is a padepokan or a special cottage made of wooden walls with a floor of boards and roofed Rumbia leaves, in the open in the yard of his house, and, if the night is illuminated by the lights so that the Santri enjoy the atmosphere of learning while breathing fresh air and night breeze.

"Assalamu'alaikum .. " said Zahrana and his friends.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi .." in unison answer from the students and Santriwati.

Zahrana, Nandini, Cinta and Kirana also joined. They sat in line with teenage girls, trying to separate themselves from teenage boys.

Seeing the presence of Zahrana teenage boy was stunned by his elegance, but Zahrana immediately lowered her gaze to avoid looking directly at the teenage boys, because of the very religious atmosphere, Zahrana does not want his presence to interfere with the solemn santri who want to learn to teach.

Mother Fatimah came out of her house, trying to control the situation of the Santri, before Buya Aaron returned from the mosque.

"Assalamu'alaikum ... Santriwan and Santriwati, please wait a moment! insyaAllah Buya Aaron will be back soon, you should Muroja'ah first while waiting for Buya Aaron, so that the knowledge you got last week is more embedded in the heart and mind, so it is not easily forgotten!" mother Fatimah told the Santri.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi .. maippp Buuu!" said the Santriwan and Santriwati obedient.

The Santri also wisely studied and re-civilized the science and the Qur'an that they got from Buya Aaron last week.

While Nandini was still confused himself to see the Santri who were so focused and enthusiastic about reciting the Qur'an and memorizing it.

Nandini was still confused to mean the word 'Muroja'ah', because this was the first day he learned to teach with Buya Aaron.

His regular Nandini rarely recited the Qur'an let alone Muroja'ah. Surah that Nandini memorized only ranged between Ummul Kitab (Al Fatihah ), three QUL (Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq and An nas ), the rest Nandini had never memorized it at all, so minimal and lay knowledge of Nandini about the science of religion.

"Din, let's start learning! please take the Mushaf of the Qur'an on the shelf there, which is already provided specifically for the Santri." Zahrana told Nandini.

"But I'm confused Ra, what is Muroja'ah?"

"I'm really confused, is Santri coming from everywhere? there is a strange aura" whispered Nandini to Zahrana.

"It was from the village next to Din, they studied here one week twice. Monday and Thursday only," concluded Zahrana.

"Oh yes, Din. Murojaah it is the activity of repeating the lesson or memorization. This method is usually done by the hafidz and hafidzah to keep their Quran memorization to stay awake and not easily forgotten," said Zahrana.

Nandini just nodded meaningfully, then he began to recite the Qur'an which he started with Surah Al Fatihah.

While Cinta and Kirana seem to focus on reciting the Qur'an with wisdom, because they have only two months to learn to teach with Buya Aaron.

Actually Zahrana was assigned by Buya Harun to help guide the Santri who are still struggling in understanding science and the Qur'an.

Zahrana is good enough in applying the science of tajwid, so it is enough to read the Qur'an in Tartil.

But in the science of fiqh, Zahrana only to understand the basics if the 5th Prayer at that time the law is MANDATORY, which if done get the reward if left to get sin and the threat that leaves it is hell fire.

While about BERHIJAB or closing the aurat completely is mandatory as mandatory Prayer 5 time, Zahrana has not understood that because he only schools in ordinary public schools not in Pondok Pesantren.

Zahrana also did not understand if 'PACARAN' is also not allowed in the Islamic Shari'at means all that the law is 'HARAM', if left to get a reward but if done then he sinned.

In the 90s, many people were still taboo and lay about the science of fiqh, they still understand the basic things. COURAN became allowed in contrast to the current era of science and technology is increasingly sophisticated, Religious science is easy to access but difficult to practice. Many know that dating and the like are forbidden but still done by young people without knowing the limits.

In the silence of the Santri who were focused on learning, Buya Harun had returned from the mosque accompanied by Raihan and Aslan Abdurrahman Syatir.

"You're not coming in, son Aslan?" ask Buya Aaron.

"Sorry Buya, Aslan said goodbye because at home there was no one. Aslan wants to open a shop first. Mom and Dad are not home" Aslan said politely.

"If so many Buya enter first, the Santri are waiting at the cottage, it's time Buya guided them to learn to teach."

"Yes Buya."

"Assalamu'alaikum .. "the Aslan chapter.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi .. "Aaron Buya replied.

Before stepping foot to return to his house, from across the street Aslan's gaze was again fixed on the figure of Zahrana who was gracefully wearing a face to his emasan under the dim light of the lamp, increasingly making Zahrana look radiant and dazzling, with the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an that he recited, making Aslan not blink to look at him.

However, Zahrana did not realize that, he only focused on reciting the Qur'an and memorizing it.

When in the Assembly of Religious Sciences, wherever it is, Zahrana is always focused, not a single second is wasted.

Zahrana is very fond of the field of Islamic science, one day at the right time Zahrana also intends to close the aurat perfectly, but for now Zahrana is not ready for it, there are still many things that he does not fully understand.

Even though Buya Harun is a teacher of teaching, he never forced Zahrana or the Santri to fully apply the science of Religion fanatically, because all that requires a process, not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.

Everything has to come from the heart. A good intention. The religion of Islam is present without coercion, conveyed with adab and meekness.

Carrying out obligations such as the 5th prayer time is mandatory, but we are not obliged to impose the will on others.

Our duty is only to convey, not change others, while the matter of guidance is God's business is not the business of his creatures. That is the way Buya Aaron guides his Santriya or anyone without cornering them, even if there is no sense of ujub and feel right in himself Buya Aaron.

Buya Aaron conveys all his knowledge from heart to heart, so that it is easier to be accepted by the hearts of his listeners with knowledge and wisdom, without the slightest to patronize.

"Assalamu'alaikum .. children," said Buya Aaron kindly.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi ... Buyaaa," answered the Santri in unison.

"Sorry Buya just returned from the mosque, have you all been praying Maghrib?"

"Buyaaa .... "

"Alright now we start learning to teach him, Zahrana please guide the Santri women who are just learning to teach the Qur'an juz 1 to juz 2, he said, who has juz 3 and also Muroja'ah please later join Buya here!"

"For the male Santri please join next to Raihan, so that there is a distance or boundary between male and female Santri," said Buya Harun soft but full of firmness.

Tonight, Santri who learned to teach grew to 21 people with Nandini who was just learning to teach.

Buya Harun is deliberately calling his students with the name Santri as well as Pondok Pesantren in general, the goal is that his students are more eager to learn to teach even though only in ordinary Tahfidz huts, which is only made of plank floors, wooden walls and ordinary roofs, but is quite comfortable for teaching and learning places for Santrinya.

The learning method was passed through with wisdom, the Santri also seemed enthusiastic in studying science and the Qur'an, not least Nandini the metal girl, also their Love and Kirana are without the presence of every verse of the Qur'an they chant with wisdom and meaning that is able to calm all hearts and souls from the frenzy of the world.

The Qur'an is able to be a guide and light of truth for souls who were originally fragile and finally watered with the cool dew that comes from the truth of faith of believing that the Qur'an is the guide of life for man and mercy to the universe, fortunately, souls who continue and continue to recite the Qur'an for the purpose of their lives in the world until the Hereafter in the truth of faith and devotion to Allah Subhanahuwata'ala only the grasper of souls and the owner of the universe.
