" God exists though it is invisible, but it can be felt by its presence."
....." Rainbow Hanani 🌹".....
• Florida, America.
The figure of Anugrah is standing facing the statue of God in his religion.
Staring at his Lord was full of hope and also asked. The hope of God eases all his affairs and the question mark of why God dropped his heart on Islam if in the end, he is difficult to embrace it.
" God !
Either I'm selfish or is this the condemnation of my destiny ?
" I never thought that my heart would turn away from this religion, but I also could not deny that my heart was indeed captivated by Islam.
God !
Is this really my best destiny decision ? Or just as a test of faith ?
"Both faith and heart are bound together!" said the man behind Anugrah.
The grace turned back.
And yes, the figure of the Church guard man came.
He approached the Anugrah.
" When you link between your faith and your heart. Then there's nothing to worry about, doubt that's why the absolute answers."
his Advice to the Anugrah...
Anugrah only fell silent, glancing at the young man with a typical smile of hers.
" Yes right.
Faith is in the heart, therefore, it is bound to the heart." said Anugrah.
The man approached Anugrah, without hesitation he touched the soft shoulder of Anugrah.
" I used to be in this position.
I fell in love with Islam and fell in love with a Muslim woman. For a year I studied Islam. Sure enough, I did find the truth even I was feeling the warmth while studying Islam.
I thought I was going to be a Muslim." the man paused for a few seconds.
His eyes began to glaze over.
Anugrah who realized that, wondered in her mind.
" I am still a Protestant man until now. When I was about to forgive myself, at that time also the Muslim woman I love married the man of her parents' choice.
At that time I was crushed to the brink, even from then on, I shunned Islam and decided to remain a Protestant. I began to realize that my heart was indeed enamored of Islam but not yet fully.
Though there have been many things that convince my heart to embrace Islam, but my lips have not been moved to say the shahadah. It turns out my intentions are not perfectly straight."
The past he told Anugrah reminded Anugrah of Hanani Syaufa.
Does he also want to convert to Islam, because of the girl ?
thoughts moment.
" Yes, Hidayah Allah.
No matter how hard the world proves that Islam is the true religion. Our hearts and minds have recognized that Islam is a righteous religion. If Allah had not desired the favor of Islam upon us, we would not have moved to embrace it."
" Prieve!
Set your intentions even tighter, boy!
Don't let the same thing happen to you. Convince yourself! If indeed your heart is falling on Islam, so hold your heart tightly fertilize it with the preaching of Islam. God bless you, son ! he said while patting slowly Anugrah's shoulder.
Afterwards, the man left Anugrah who was still speechless nails staring at his back.
" Thank you for the advice, sir." cried Anugrah who was taken in by the man.
Anugrah went back to her Lord, trying to find answers.
Is it true that he really wants to embrace Islam because of Allah ?
Or just because it's captivated for a moment ?
" Let's a speck again.
I'll finish it, I'm sorry God if I'm going to betray you." said Anugrah stepped out of the Church.
He went to the bus stop, waiting for the bus to return to his apartment.
This time he had to take a bus.
His car was borrowed by his friend Jekfan.
Bugh...
Suddenly a man accidentally hit Anugrah.
" Ehhh sorry, I accidentally" he told Anugrah.
Anugrah shook her head, and looked at her. Yups, how shocked Anugrah was.
When he saw the figure in front of him turned out to be a Muslim youth he had met while in Canada first.
" You ! pekik Anugrah surprised.
" Bang ! he was also shocked when he saw the Anugrah.
The two smiled, then shook hands. The two were looking for a comfortable place to talk. Yes, on the bench the bus stop is his choice.
" How is bang ? ask him on the Anugrah.
" Okay, you ?
" Thank God, good bang." he answered.
" Hm, great.
Ahiya, are you here in college too ? ask Anugrah.
" Thank God, yes bang.
My brother also studied here ?
Anugrah.
" The University of South Florida.
What if you ? ask Anugrah back.
" Oh, if I'm at the University of Central Florida, bang." she replied.
" I know Ahiyaiya."
A few seconds of no conversation between the two, busy with each other's cell phones.
Until finally, there was a question that was stuck in the head of the Anugrah.
" Hm, yesterday I was satisfied with your answer. This time there is something I want to ask you again" he said.
The young man smiled too.
" Hm, my name is Alkan mundzar, call Alkan aja bang. It's foreign to say that we're talking but don't know each other" he said.
Anugrah also smiled.
" Ahiya I am also Anugrah Pota Mendrofa, call me Anugrah."
" What would you like to ask Anugrah ?
God willing, I will answer as I can."
" How can we believe that God exists while there is none ?
And isn't it ? In Islamic teachings, Satan is made of fire, then he will be the fuel in hellfire.
Is it possible that he will feel temporary pain between himself and hell made of the same substance ? ask Anugrah.
The young Muslim man smiled, hearing a great question from Anugrah.
Bughh...
There was no wind, there was no sudden rain just this young man stepping on the foot of Anugrah.
" Hey !
Why did you step on my foot ? lontar Anugrah did not accept with the actions of this young man, next to him.
" How does it feel bang ? Sick ?
Instead of apologizing, this young man named Alkan actually asked that. Anugrah looked at him annoyed.
" Hurt." he replied.
" Show me the form of pain I feel you mean ? The young man nodded.
" Where can I show the form of my leg pain that you stepped on earlier" said Anugrah.
Alkan's smile widened.
" Can't you show me ?
Such is the analogy of the answer to my brother's question, the pain exists and we can feel but, can not be shown form and form.
Likewise with God, even though his form is invisible to us but, we can feel His presence." he told Anugrah.
Anugrah fell silent, beginning to digest word by word that Alkan spoke.
" Have you felt bang ?
Our shoes are made of the same material. But do you still feel the pain ?
Anugrah nodded her head, beginning to understand the meaning of Alkan's words.
" And so is the devil.
Even though he and hell are made of the same substance, he will still feel pain and torment in hell." the young man closed with a smile.
Jamb...
Reasonable answers.
Anugrah smiled hearing the answers to the questions that were stuck in her head.
Again and again this young man completely answered his question.
" Your answer never disappoints me.
Thank you Alkan." said Anugrah.
" By God's permission, bang.
Same." replied Alkan.
Tinnn...
The sound of a Klexon bus to Tampa Florida rang.
Consciousness both.
" A bang.
My bus has come, I say yes" he told Anugrah.
Anugrah.
" Yes be careful.
I hope we'll meet again, so I can ask you more questions" said Anugrah.
Haha... Alkan chuckled small.
" Ready to bang.
Let God arrange our meeting.
Next time bang, we continue." said as he stepped towards the bus.
" Okay." said Anugrah.
After the passengers boarded, the bus drove carrying passengers to their respective destinations.
" I must continue to make sure that I want to convert to Islam because of Allah, not because of a Muslim girl" he said steadily.
He also grabbed an Islamic book that was in his bag. While waiting for the bus came Anugrah chose to read an Islamic book called Sorry God I almost gave up, by AlfiGhazi.
One of the best-sellers among everyone.
Starting from millennials, even to the elderly.
" The book is really good for healing." muttered Anugrah.
He even focused too much on reading the book, losing focus on the bus he was riding.
Tinnn.
The bus to his apartment area arrived at the stop.
" God ! Preoccupation is unconscious ! scowled.
Anugrah put her book back in her bag, then stepped up to get on the bus.
He chose to sit on the bench on the right side adjacent to the bus window.
He smiled widely, the questions that were increasingly entrenched in his head were now slowly answered as well.
" Next month I will go to my destination" he said steadily without hesitation.
Graceful.
He wants to finish everything.
Do not want any more doubts, or worries later. Or even he is also looking for answers, actually because what he wants to embrace Islam ? Because he loves Islam or precisely because of the presence of the Muslimah he loves ?
Therefore, to get the answer he constantly learns things related to the teachings of Islam.
" Fixing intentions is the main thing, Nug. Set all your doubts, Nug.
Straighten your intentions perfectly, and ask the owner of the universe for a hint." he tried to convince himself.
Buses continued to run, splitting the congestion at Florida city hall to bring passengers home on time at the destination.
In about half an hour, Anugrah will arrive at her apartment.

• pahang, Malaysia.
The figure of Nazhanul is standing next to the tomb of the former governor in his palace.
A simple prayer is being conveyed to his former friend.
The regret that penetrated his heart made his guilt grow.
Even he never ceases to blame himself for what happened to the Hammer family.
" Ham !
I have failed to become a leader even a friend." A drop of warm liquid came out from the corner of his eye.
Wardah who was next to her, clasped her husband's hand to give her strength.
" I should have looked further into the problems that occurred in those days, Hamm I'm sorry Hamm ! nazhanul said with a soft word.
" Bang !
It's not all my fault, it's all God's will.
Already this time the late Hammer bang and his family need is a prayer from people who love you kat die right ? Well, make that prayer your guilt-redeemer."
Wardah tried to calm her husband down.
Slowly stroked her husband's hand, which was in deep sorrow.
Nazhanul smiled, feeling grateful to have a wife like Wardah who often became a strength for him when he fell, even being hit by a storm.
" Thank you is always next to me, baby" he said, hugging his wife's body.
" It's Wardah bang's obligation, to always accompany brother at any time."
The two are holding each other.
Strengthen each other, providing warmth in the form of a decapitation.
Yes, complement each other and accept each other.
Although sometimes Nazhanul is stubborn, Wardah always tries to soften it with the softness of his heart.
Because, if both are stubborn, then all that happens is division.
Therefore, in the household it is necessary to understand each other.
In order to always, harmony in the household is maintained.
