Shahadat Love Zakia

Chapter 10

It is not without reason that Zakia broke her love before it developed, how could she continue to love if her feelings continue to be ignored.

Basically, women are always number one about saving feelings, there are times when they do not stop loving but just stop showing it. But when his heart was no longer pounding like when he was still in love, it was only then that Fahmi realized his feelings which must have been very, very late to be expressed.

"There are guests apparently" said Mother Fatimah disperse her daydream

"How are you, Mother? sorry Zakia has not visited for a long time" said Zakia hugging Safira

"Alhamdulillah Mom is healthy, I've missed you very much, I don't want to come here anymore"

"Where can I not visit here, dong's loss can not eat the most delicious cuisine Mother anymore"

"You are, always like that when Mother's cooking is also ordinary, let's go in we have breakfast equally coincidentally Mother cook your favorite vegetable capcay" said Mother Fatimah holding Zakia's hand

the gentle treatment Zakia got from Mother Fatimah always managed to warm her heart, "Ah, if only Mama also treated me like this I must be very happy" Zakia's inner self

After finishing breakfast together, Zakia helped Mother Fatimah clean up. Fahmi has an older sister and two younger brothers. But in because the brother has married and joined the husband to make Mother Fatimah do all her own although occasionally Fahmi helps during holidays like this

All are now gathered in the family room while chatting, occasionally Fahmi's sisters tease Zakia in because they sit next to Fahmi. Zakia was nervous, but not because it was next to Fahmi, but because of something she wanted to say.

"Oh, is there really anything Zakia wants to talk about?" zakia said, her hands together feeling very nervous

"Whatis that? why do you look so nervous? is this a serious matter?" Asked Fatimah's mother to see Zakia's face that looked very nervous

Zakia let out a long sigh trying to neutralize her heart from the nervousness that had already filled her chest cavity

"Zakia wants to embrace Islam Buk"

Suddenly, both Fahmi's parents were shocked to hear what their ears had just heard, no exception Fahmi himself who had turned to Zakia asked for clarity on what he had just heard

"Are you serious? is there anything forcing you to do this? religion is not to mess with Nak" said Mr. Taufik who is Fahmi's father

"Zakia seriously sir, this is my own choice actually in recent months I have learned a little about the religion of Islam. I was touched whenever I heard the holy verses of the Qur'an which I did not know the meaning of, I felt peaceful and calm whenever I heard the sound of the Adhan echoing in my ears, and I had other reasons that I was strengthening into one of those reasons I was getting comfortable and interested in Islam. That direction did not come directly, I tried to stop, telling myself it might just be curiosity but it was not. I love anything that has to do with Islam. His religion, his God, his followers yes, I love all that." said Zakia with teary eyes

"MasyaAllah, Alhamdulillah.so beautiful that direction greet your heart Son" said Mr. Taufik who is no less haru, even now Mother Fatimah has cried touched while hugging Zakia's body gently

"May Allah ease the way for you Za" said Fahmi smiling to see Zakia who was still in his mother's arms

Inside a mosque of about 60 people, Zakia sat side by side with Fatimah's mother. Zakia felt nervous until the surface of her hand was already very cold

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, Alhamdulillah in this sunny morning that God willing where our sister, our, sister Zakia Kairani will say two sentences of the creed before all of us and the most important before God Subhanahu wata'ala" said Ustadz Khalid opened the event

"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu" replied everyone present in the room

that morning, Zakia will say two sentences of shahadah that will only be witnessed by Fahmi and his family and the mosque worshipers who attended to witness. Zakia deliberately did not tell Maira and the others he intended to surprise his friends

"No ustadz, this is purely my own wish" Zakia smiled

"Well, what made Zakia's sister choose to convert to Islam?"

"i see peace in Islam, I feel comfortable being among its followers and there are many things that make me love Islam, so I want to learn more about it"

"God, does Zakia's sister still have parents?"

"I only have Mom, my dad just died a few months ago ustadz"

Ustadz Khalid nodded. "Well, the sister of Zakia needs to know that even though the sister of Zakia will have a difference of faith in the Mother. The sister of Zakia must still respect her as a Mother. But if later they invite to return to their religion, then the sister of Zakia can subtly reject it."

"And the last, as we know that in Islam, there are obligations in the form of worship such as prayer, fasting zakat and others. Is sister Zakia ready to go through all that?"

"I am ready ustadz" replied Zakia steady

"God, Alhamdulillah.Then let's follow me, I will guide Zakia's sister to say two sentences of the creed".

"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim"

"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim"

"Ashyadutla ilahaillallah"

"Ashyadutla ilahaillallah"

"Wa Asyhadatanna Muhammadan Rasulullah"

"Wa Ashyhadhenna Muhammadan the Prophet" Zakia's voice trembled with her tears

"I testify that there is no God but Allah"

"I testify that there is no God but Allah"

"And I testify that the prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah"

"And I testify that the prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" Zakia continued with tears that had soaked her cheeks

"Alhamdulillah" said all worshipers who witnessed the heartwarming moment

"Now Nak Zakia has become a Muslimah.be a Muslimah who obeys the commandments of Allah, Istiqomah in Islam be a Muslimah who keeps the dignity of themselves away from the prohibition of Allah and bring yourself to Him. God willing all will be made easy by Him"

"Thank you ustadz, God willing I will listen to ustadz's advice"

Tears haru and also happy again escaped from the eye of Zakia, finally he managed to pronounce two sentences of shahadah which now he had become part of Islam that he longed for. Zakia stroked her chest which felt peaceful and comfortable as well

"MasyaAllah, tabarakallah.happy Nak may Istiqomah" said Mother Fatimah hugging with haru

"Thank you Ma'am" Zakia returned the hug
