The Destiny of Love Rania

CHAPTER 4 (LOVE IN SILENCE)

If discussing the issue of love will be endless. We all must have felt what is called love, we have experienced it or even hurt because of love. Likes, affection and love are natural to man, it is a gift from the Almighty.

This afternoon Rania will fill out a study at a High School located right next to her campus. This pretty famous Private High School happens to be on Saturday afternoon there is an extracurricular Rohis for students. Be an active Rania as a missionary activist on the campus, invited by the school to provide material to the High School students.

However, It is unfortunate. Not many students are interested in following Rohis. They prefer other extracurriculars such as Badminton, Silat, Sound art and so on. Instead of forbidding to participate in the activity, it is unfortunate why the Islamic activities that are our obligations as Muslims are even set aside, or even forgotten.

Rania thought, religious lessons in schools that are only 2 hours per week will not be able to make Islamic personality among teenagers today, plus the influence of secularism is very rampant among teenagers. How can teenagers not be influenced by western culture that clearly appears in plain sight, if not equipped with absolute Islamic teachings?

Rania stepped definitely towards Musholla located on the 2nd floor, he walked through the school yard, looking left and right. On the left he saw some young women laughing loosely and loudly, I don't know what they discussed but saw the scene made Rania sigh and massaged the chest. Women who are known for their gentleness are not good at behaving like that in public, let alone laughing like that. But what can he do? This is the attitude of teenagers who do not know the rules, and do not want to know. Unlike the ramaja who has participated in the study, he will be more careful in behaving, he will take care of the speech he said, he never laughed, at most just smiled. That's what Rania has managed to form in a teenager at this High School, her name is Zahra.

After taking Rania's studies seriously several times, Zahra finally really turned into a Muslimah and concurrently as a spiritual leader at her school. Currently Zahra is already in 3rd grade High School and will soon face the final exam.

Now Rania's view has shifted to the right. He saw a pair of teenagers being alone under a tree. The woman was embarrassed and the man was getting ready to say something. Rania sure soon there will be “shooting” poses, a sight that again can only make Rania shake her head. But, no hypocrite, he had also felt the pleasure of adolescence, when the taste of love began to run itself, there seemed to be others, there seemed to be something different. Rania and the teenagers must have been and are feeling it all, because it's fitrah, it's not wrong. What is wrong is the placement and distribution only.

Finally, Rania reached Musholla, all the young women had gathered at the mosque. It's a lot of people today. What wind is there? It's about 20 people. Rania believes this must be Zahra's attempt to gather her friends and her underclassmen as much as possible. Because Zahra who did not want to make Rania disappointed if the number who came to hear the study a little. Rania was very grateful to Zahra, the ayu-faced girl greatly appreciated him.

“Assalamu’alaikum kak.” Zahra Greeted Rania before the study began.

“Walaikumusalam, Healthy Zahra?”

“Alhamdulilah, brother.. What brother? All-blue nech, sister looks more graceful”

“Alhamdulilah, thank you for Zahra's praise. Zahra also looks fresher”

After a short conversation with Zahra, at exactly 13:30 the study began. The study opens with the reading of the Holy Quran by Zahrani, a 2nd grade student who does have a beautiful voice when reading the Quran. Then a few words of greeting by the chairman of Rohis, namely Zahra and after that it was Rania's turn to show his ability in filling the da'wah study at the school.

“Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wa barokatuh, Alhamdulillah be grateful for all his favors and affection so that we are still met in this weekly study in good health, and we are also still given the strength of faith so that we lighten our footsteps to the house of God to claim knowledge and God willing can be tsaqofah when we convey to others later. Sholawat and Salam do not forget also we give to the Prophet Lord Nature, our great Prophet. Prophet Muhammad Saw. With no boredom we pray to him hoping to receive intercession from him later in the afterlife.”

“Alright, previously started let's open this study by reading Al-Fatihah”'s letter

After reading al-Fatihah's letter…

“As for the title of our study at noon today is about ‘Love In Diam’.”

“The sisters all must be confused what is meant by love in silence? Brother took this title because honestly my brother's heart is very sad to see the scenery out there, both young women and sons, they are wrong in channeling their love, their love. Wrong in the sense that they make “ courtship” as a place to get to know one another more closely, “stepping” process that will eventually cause destruction for them, especially women. There is nothing wrong with love, even wrong if we do not have love. That's the most dangerous. Love is not us the meaning of just a relationship with the opposite sex alone. Love is broad. Love to our parents, to our brothers, to our friends. And the most important thing is the love that gives that love together with our hearts, who is HE? Namely Allah..”.

“Have we ever felt love for God? Have you ever thought about loving God? Our god? Reply to each one yes..”

“So, before this love goes on the wrong path, let us know the Giver of Love. Let us know God more deeply. Because the old saying says don't know then don't love, no love then no love, so how can we love God if we don't want to know him? We must know what God likes and what He hates. We associate with the problem of love, proof we obey and love for God we certainly want to be bound by all the rules, right? The rules that have been stated in the Quran and As-Sunnah. Which is certain. There is no more doubt in it. As Allah said in the letter of Al-Baqaroh….

“This Book of the Quran has no doubt on him, a clue to those who fear”

“So, our guidelines and handle in doing and achieving His pleasure are the Quran and As-Sunnah.”

“so Ukhtifillah..God gives us a feeling of being in the heart, there is love, love, love and even hate. It is fitrah, and indeed exists in every human being, that is the potential given to Humans. But, the problem is.. How do we channel the taste? Do they follow God's commandments or contradict His commandments? That's our choice. Because remember every choice there must be consequences that we have to bear, what or dosah?”

“Teenager years that are younger siblings through this is a very vulnerable time, why? Brother can say like this because there are so many facts out there that show the destruction due to his fault channeling the likes and affection to those who have not been entitled to receive it. Love that is only wrapped in lust.” Firmly Rania, all the students listened carefully and seriously.

“Then from that, channeling likes by way of courtship, TTMan or whatever the name, the sisters who know better, there is nothing in Islam. Brother firmly, there is no history that records the existence of courtship in Islam. Out of nowhere originally the courtship came from, which is clear according to the dating research it comes from western culture that upholds *****free. That is what enters our country today and has become commonplace to be practiced both for adults and adolescents.”

“The noble religion of Islam that is revealed by God and contains rules that are indeed for the salvation of his people. Where God strictly forbid in his word ‘do not approach zina..’ well, just approach it we are forbidden let alone do it. Dating is one of the activities that lead us to the act of adultery. We should leave that activity. Because everything that is good according to us is not necessarily good according to God, as the Word of God SWT.‘Maybe you like something when it's bad for you. You may hate something when it is good for you. Allah knows that you do not know’ (Q.S. Al-Qaadish:216).

“so the question is, what if we love someone? Well, here's our title. Love in silence. Love it because of God. To love for Allah is to love whatever Allah wills, by doing His commandments and abandoning His prohibitions. Allah has commanded men to marry, that is the process of sharing good and lawful liking. But what if you're not ready? Like the sisters who are still in high school uniform, do you want to get married now?” asked like that all the students simultaneously answered not yet willing.

“obviously not yet, right? Sisters are still in school, parents have high hopes for your success, so what do parents say if you suddenly ask to get married? That must have disappointed them, right?”

“Well..this is how to. love in silence. Only we and God know this love. Enough we keep in the heart that we love him, do not need him to know and do not need a reply from him. For sure by following all the rules of Allah's play, loving anything that Allah diridhoi, surely.believe it. do not need to be forced.. it will be God who will guide his heart for us, for every human heart is within His grasp. We just need to be patient. Be content to refrain from excessive liking. Focus on worship and studying. Do not worry about the problem of a mate, and do not fear unrequited love because God has confirmed that every human being is created in pairs, and each of us must have a partner. Now just choose a halal partner from Him or an illegitimate partner from Satan?”

Rania paused for a moment. A sweet smile spread on her lips. He noticed all the students who were enthusiastic listening to his study that afternoon. He is happy to be a motivator for the high school student and he really hopes that the students who hear his study do not suffer the fate like he once did, like 2 years ago. The past he buried deep. Pain that begins to heal, heart wounds that have gradually healed. It was all because of her fault. Misrepresenting love and channeling love.

Rania recalls an advice that confirms that :

“Loving in silence is painful but it will be beautiful when it is halal. For that is the purity and purity of love.. If you love and are not ready to marry, then you should stay away. Not because you do not love but to keep the sanctity of your love and of herself in order to gain the pleasure of the Powerful.

Seriate....
