Salsabila Putri (Choosing the Hijrah Road)

Choosing the hijrah road

"it's not our 3-day trip, why are we suddenly back tomorrow?" ali asked astonished as they were already in the car heading towards the hotel.

"abuya's illness is getting worse, he is now in the ICU room" replied Aaron turned a little to Ali and then returned to focus ahead.

Ali's eyes bulged and then threw his gaze out the window of worry at once gnawing at his heart drawn through his eyes that were reddened by holding back tears, the mind that had been filled with Sasa was now floating somewhere.

"can't we go back tonight" Ali asked without taking his eyes off the window.

"the fastest flight is only tomorrow morning after the dawn prayer" said Harun glanced at Ali for a moment. "patience and prayer'alah, it's not the most powerful thing today" Harun patted Ali on the shoulder.

Ali closed his eyes for a moment "what Aaron said was right, I should have prayed" Ali's inner monologue

"rest, tomorrow after the dawn prayer we go straight to the airport, good night. Assalamu'alaikum" said Aaron as they arrived at their doorstep.

Ali nodded and went into his room first, he was so reluctant to open his voice just to respond to Aaron's words.Halam from Aaron passed with the wind.

Elsewhere Sasa and Ferdi argue because Sasa is busy packing his clothes for him to take home tomorrow to not care about himself who has been sitting in the "sa, since, why the hell bring home clothes a lot so wonder deh"

ferdi was a little surprised by Sasa's behavior, because usually Sasa prefers to leave his clothes in the closet at Ratih's house rather than having to be brought back home.

"Sasa deliberately bang, later fitting home Sasa want to ask papa again about Sasa's desire to go to the cottage, well if papa allows this clothes will be brought to the cottage" without looking, Sasa continued to be busy packing his clothes.

"are you really serious about going to bed?" ask Ferdi again.

for a moment Sasa stopped and turned to look at Ferdi while smiling "Sasa seriously bang, Sasa's time is joking anyway" said Sasa again focused on his work.

"you could live Abang sa?, mama papa mbak bang Yusuf. you are great?" tweet Ferdi in a soft voice.

again Sasa smiled then got up to walk and sat down next to Ferdi.

"bang, you want Sasa to be a sholeha child and a sholeha sister for your brother and mom papa? actually Sasa also does not want to stayin you guys but bang Sasa is determined to choose this hijrah path. Sasa wanted to be the best Sasa women did not want to waste time, no one knows when the time of death arrived and Sasa did not want to face God but did not have the stock of knowledge in the slightest. and also Sasa wants to learn while performing to welcome the Sasa couple later so that when we meet we are equally worthy.do not you know that the soul mate is a reflection of yourself? well Sasa does not want to get a mate who can not guide Sasa later, Sasa wants to get the best mate from God, if Sasa wants the best mate, then Sasa must also make himself Sasa be the best. how could Sasa expect the best if Sasa himself is not good bang.. Until here you understand right?" Sasa grabbed Ferdi's face and cupped with his two tiny hands he stared deep into Ferdi's eyes clearly if in Sana there was a sense of sadness that Ferdi felt.

Ferdi stretched out his hand, Sasa held tightly. For a moment Ferdi closed his eyes a drop of water fell on Sasa's head, Ferdi immediately removed it, spontaneously Ferdi immediately removed it, knowing the sister he always kept from childhood would go a long way making it seem like a weak man.

Sasa also returned Ferdi's embrace, he wrapped his hands around Ferdi's waist every once in a while a gentle swipe he lay on Ferdi's Sturdy buttocks. Sasa could no longer hold back his tears, his shoulders trembled with a small sobbing down there for a moment Ferdi was stunned whether Sasa was crying because of his attitude just now, slowly he unraveled his embrace while still holding Sasa's shoulder at the gaze of his beloved sister's beautiful face then a sweet smile was engraved clearly on the corner of Ferdi's lips.

"hey don't cry princess, you will feel very guilty if you cry, I'm sorry Brother yes.I hope you can be what you expect, Brother will support and pray for the best for you. never forget that Brother, mama, papa, mbak, and bang Yusuf are always there for Sasa and will always love Sasa" said Ferdi meekly.

Sasa smiled but apparently the tears were still difficult for him to stop, slowly Ferdi rubbed it then again grabbed Sasa into his arms.

"Huuhhft's beloved brother Brother, the most beautiful, sweet, and chatty" Ferdi said again in a mock tone he wanted sasa to stop crying.

"iih Abang, spoiling the moment of sweet ajah" Sasa grumbled with his lips already soaked 5cm, he patted softly Ferdi's buttocks and then released himself from his embrace.

"iya bang" Sasa continued his activities.

"bang about the response mbak Ratih if you know Sasa want to go on a hut how well?" ask Sasa suddenly.

"don't you think it, you certainly agree like you don't know mbak ajah. mbak always prioritize your wishes, as long as you know if you forget" replied Ferdi reminded while blinking his lips. he recalled the past every time Sasa cried because his toy Ferdi and Joseph always got the stone diomelin by Ratih not to mention Papa and his mother.

Sasa sniggered sinlessly looking at Ferdi's expression.

"sorry Uups Brother" said Sasa in a coquettish tone.

"well, you have returned the room trus rest so tomorrow Abang charger full when carrying the car, Okee" said Sasa as he pushed Ferdi's burly body out of his room.

"yes yes you know, do not need to be encouraged also times" said Ferdi sewot.

after the departure of Ferdi, this time Sasa again fantasized. his mind looked far away, it was his decision to go into mondok, how later he lived the life of his days in the lodge, whether he could be restrained by the various rules of the cottage he had to follow and could he endure several years of not meeting his family, imagining it there was a slight sense of tightness hitting his chest.

when you want to be good why it is so difficult, but when you want to be the worst human being it is very easy.

the answer is there is only one.

(since heaven is not cheap) many things must be sacrificed, treasures, time, emotions and much more.

In a hadith narrated:

From Abu Hurairah, he said that the Messenger of Allah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said, “The world is a prison for the faithful and a paradise for the infidels.” (CHR. Muslims no. 2392)

in the prophetic days the Companions were willing to sacrifice even their lives just to defend the religion, with the zeal of the martyrdom advancing in the ranks to fight against the Quraysh. many lives of martyrdom spilled to defend the religion of Allah SWT, Sayyidina Prophet Muhammad SAW willingly pelted animal dung, rocks and insulted here and there but still firmly stand to broadcast religion.

When the Messenger of Allah was met with opposition from the Quraysh who did not accept his preachings, even the nobles of Mecca strongly opposed his treatise by torture, expulsion and boycotting, Sayyidah Khadijah bint Khuwailid sacrificed all his possessions to defend the mission of the Prophet.

Even when the Quraysh polytheists boycotted the Hasyim and Bani Muttalib, Sayyidah Khadijah willingly left his house to join the Messenger of Allah and Companions in SYi’ib (settlement) of the Muttalib people. The boycott lasted for three years from the seventh prophetic year to the tenth prophetic year. The Muslims and the infidels of the Hashimites and the Muttalibs were besieged. They are not allowed to do the buying and selling and community with other tribes.

People today have easily enjoyed the results of the struggle, can worship quietly and can travel safely.

is not enough the story of Sayyidina the Prophet Muhammad SAW to be a suri tauladan for all of us.

spending 10 thousand to give alms in the way of Allah SWT we still think long, but spend 100 thousand to shop for something that only brings temporary pleasure without having to think.

"huuft" Sasa sighed and then returned to packing his clothes.
