The End of the Waiting

Terrified

All that has passed is the past. Life is not for yesterday but for today and tomorrow. Learn to enjoy and do your best to achieve a happy life in the world and in the hereafter.

The more days Amara is more eager to live life because it has been given health and breath until this second.

Without feeling a month passed just like that. Amara expressed her intention to Umi Rahma that she would be allowed to go home again to help her friend who did social action. Good things always get good. Umi Rahma allowed and gave as much advice as usual.

Once a month, Amara will return to Surabaya.

That afternoon Amara who was coming the moon did not do any activities. He sat on the porch watching everyone passing by and greeting him.

“Ning Fatimah where to go?” amara asked to see that Fatimah was neat and carrying a bag. His face looked lethargic like there was a heavy burden in thought.

“You go home to Kediri, Mara. Umm I'm sick,” she replied slowly.

“May soon be given a cure for his beloved mother and removed all her diseases.”

Fatimah nodded. “Thank you, Mara. I go first, yeah. Assalamu’alaikum,” he said passed by just like that.

Days passed, weeks changed, months passed quickly without any significant problems.

The more day Amara increasingly looks so wise in addressing many things. Seemed so calm in every word and attitude.

After the magrib he met Umi Rahma who was in the hall of the mosque teaching the santriwati who began to grow up.

“Women are different from men. In carrying out activities is also very different. But the law of syara’ looks at parallels between women and men. Explained in the Qur'an surah Al-Isra verse 17, ‘And we have indeed glorified the sons of Adam, we have carried them on land and in the sea, we give them sustenance from the good and we overload them with a perfect advantage over most of the creatures we have created.’ So the degree between man and woman is the same in the eyes of God.”

Amara sat there, listening to what was being explained.

muslims have ethics, among others, hold their eyes, close the aurat, in the words should avoid words that seduce and arouse stimulation, in walking do not provoke the view of the opposite sex, in the words should avoid words that seduce and arouse stimulation, in motion can not prance or dart, stay away from the conspicuous perfume, should not chat with the opposite sex because it could be the third later satan.” Umi Rahma chuckled softly at the end of the sentence.

“Why are a woman and a man different, Umi?” ask a santriwati.

“Men and women have been given different responsibilities. The difference is certainly adjusted to its obligations. In law syara’ looks at the parallels between men and women. Islam views men and women equally in terms of equality. Women are God's special creatures. God created a special space in the body of a woman that does not exist in men, namely the womb.”

Anger justifies. In terms of equality women and men are the same. However, keep in mind that the differences also have different responsibilities.

“God has raised the status of women by providing special functions and this very heavy task only to women. The selection of women as the cause of the inheritance of the human generation is a symbol of the majesty of the gift of God.”

“Therefore heaven was created under the soles of the feet of the mother?”

“Heaven under the soles of the feet of the mother is only as a figure of speech because we as children are obliged to obey and devote to the mother to get her ridha. Mom puts herself as first position before dad.”

“Why just mom? Why not dad?”

“Mother's heart is God's most beautiful gift. Why mom, not dad? Because mothers who conceive, give birth, breastfeed, and instill noble values in their children. A mother is willing to conceive and give birth to her child despite having to bet her life. His love all the time, will not be timeless even though his children will grow up.”

Amara wiped the corners of her wet eyes. Advice from Umi Rahma always touches the heart.

Mother, forgive me for resisting and being unfilial to You. God gave me a long life for my parents.
