Sakinah to Jannah (New Version)
Fight with My Self
To be good, I have to fight the old me...
Syfa awakens at dawn. He snorted in annoyance, then sat with his eyes still half-covered. Whether it has been some day since deciding to migrate, he continues to miss his tahajud prayer. His job as an article writer left him exhausted every day.
But anyway it has become a risk for him, because it is always required to meet the target. Not to mention if the article content is problematic, then the editor will return the article to be revised again, and become a new job again for Syfa.
Syfa got out of bed and walked straight to the bathroom to take ablution, Do not let himself also miss the obligatory prayer at the beginning of this morning.
After he finished praying, he grabbed the cellphone on the study table to check the notifications. It turns out that a lot of whatsaap chat is coming in, from the study group and his office group. Between the two chat groups, there was one chat that made him pat the bidat for forgetting something, he said,
Mala Mbak
Fa, there is a study at 9 am in the Masjid An-Nur right? Anti so come along?
How could he forget that? Sunday plans want to laze in the room gone already, because chat reminder from his best friend it. Perhaps this is a warning from God, so that He should not waste time and should use it as best he can. Is it not that besides works and deeds, time will also be consumed by Allah? So about the word Ustadz Hanan Attaki, as he watched his study on youtube. Remembering that, making Syfa immediately reply to the chat from his best friend.
Syfa
Yes, mbak, so. Together later, right?
Syfa sighed, then put her cellphone back on the study table. His head was still dizzy, and his eyes were still sleepy. But sleep after dawn
it is not good, however he has to fight his drowsiness, he also does not want to be late to go to study with Mbak Mala.

“Where's Fa? Have you prayed tahajud so far?” mbak Mala asked as the two sat in the mosque garden. Studies at the An-Nur Mosque are still half-initiated
another hour. The atmosphere around the mosque has begun to be crowded, even many worshipers who have entered and sat inside the mosque.
Syfa sighed, "hard Mbak..” he replied resignedly, his gaze glared. Honestly, it's still hard to wake up in the third night. And that time is an opportunity for us, because God and the angels came down to earth to grant the prayers of each of His servants.
“Gak papa fa, just keep going. At least, Anti can still Istiqomah other sunnah prayers. What is dhuha prayer?” entertain Mbak Mala. “Yes, but the tahajud prayer is the main sunnah prayer after mandatory prayer, Ma'am.” lamented.
“Iya right, but if you are late, how do you want? Moreover, Anti can still work other sunnah prayers.”
Syfa. Since he moved, this habit is still difficult to do. Honestly, he was ashamed of God. There are so many blessings that God has given. One of them opens the path of sustenance to become an article writer, which has indeed become his hobby and ideals so far.
Not to mention, the office where he works is one of the largest online news media in Indonesia, Samudra.com . He should be able to be personal
many are grateful and draw closer to God by increasing worship.
Which favor of the Lord do you deny? (QS. Ar-Rahman :13)
“Mbak, according to Mbak ya, I know now what? There is a change not?”, asked Syfa after being silent for a while, He needs the views of others about this.
“Ih, seriously mbak.” grumbled Syfa,
Mbak Mala smiled, “Anti kira, Ana joking?”, asked Mbak Mala later.
Syfa seemed to think.
“Fa, God saw our efforts. Most importantly, keep working on being good. Finish one thing, move on to another. Remember this hadith, right?
"Truly the charity that God loves most, is charity done continuously even a little.” (CHR. Abu Dawud's)
That means, process as much as Anti can. Niatkan all because of Allah, God willing, Anti can slowly improve worship and charity better
again. everything is just a matter of time, Fa.” explained Mbak Mala, “The most important thing is, do not go back to the past.” he said later, smiling at Syfa.
Syfa smiled back, “ Insha Allah, Ana will try to keep istiqomah, Mbak.” replied Syfa, Mbak Mala nodded.
“Ya already yuk, find a seat inside, full hunt.” invite Mbak Mala later.
Yes, Syfa can. Better to do it, than not at all, right? Let God judge our efforts. Bismillah, he said in his heart
“Oh yes, Ma'am. Later abis review, we tilawah here first yuk? All waiting for the prayer ashar.” bargain Syfa, Madam Mala smiled. “Insya Allah.” replied.
They walked to the mosque, because there are only 15 minutes left the study will begin soon. The mosque has been seen crowded, already many worshipers consisting of Men and Women began to fill the sitting shaf provided by the committee.
For the Male or Brotherhood part, it is at the front close to the Imam's pulpit, for which the Female or the Akhwat is at the rear close
the boundary between the Brotherhood and Akhwat. Syfa and Mbak Mala walked to the middle shaf, because there was still empty, until later...
“Aduh!” Syfa complained, as her shoulder was nudged hard enough by a Woman from behind. “Afwan Ukh, Ana accidentally. Ukhti is okay?” said the woman was worried, touching the soft shoulder Syfa. “Laa ba’a, Ukh. Ana may also be blocking the path.” Syfa stroked his shoulder with a smile. Madam Mala who noticed they were initially worried, also smiled.
Suddenly the woman's worried face changed, and she finally smiled. “Salam ukhuwah, Ukh. Name's Ana Lisa. Ukhti?” said the woman while
extending hand. “Salam ukhuwah fillah, Ana Syfa.” replied Syfa replied to the hand. Then Lisa turned her head towards the Mala Mother who was standing
side Syfa. Madam Mala who understands that extends her hand. “Salam ukhuwah fillah, Ana Mala.” said Mbak Mala while reaching out, Lisa also returned the hand with a smile.
“Masya Allah, it's great to have a new brother.” said Lisa amazed. “Alhamdulillah we are also happy, Ukh.” Mbak Mala said sincerely. “Can Ana sit with Ukhti all? Ana would love to chat and get acquainted further.” bargain Lisa. Syfa glanced at Mbak Mala who was beside him, Mbak Mala nodded in agreement. “Mari Ukh, we find the shaf sitting first.” invite Syfa finally, Lisa nods He also goes hand in hand with Syfa followed by Mbak Mala who is behind him.
“Ukhti-ukhti is routinely participating in studies here huh?” ask Lisa when they have found the seat shaf in the middle. “If this Mala Mbak, often Ukh.
Ana only 2 times this week.” explained Syfa, while glancing at Mbak Mala next to him, Mbak Mala also nodded confirming.”O Allah, if Ana is the first time today. But hopefully we can all istiqomah yes, Ukh?” said Lisa hope, “Aamiinnn..” reply Syfa and Mbak Mala together.
