THE SUNAN BODYGUARD

episode 7i: Pak Lurah So Mualaf

They also felt a fragrant aroma coming from the body of Resi Witjak. What an unusual sensation.

And because of lack of caution, the leaves of the corpse wrapping Resi Witjak torn, and the head of Resi Witjak which was released from the neck rolled.

How the people who saw this event screamed loudly. Including the pedanda who were shocked by the reeds.

All eyes stared at that detached head.

All wild.

They all saw a fluffy smile on Resi Witjak's lips.

His face was very soft, and gave off the fragrant aroma of musk.

Not daring to take the head of Resi Witjak, they finally decided to wake Sunan Kembang Kuning and other converts.

When I woke up, how shocked they were. Because, already hundreds of villagers there, not to mention, the sun has shone hot.

Soon Sunan Kembang Kuning berwudlu, and invite all converts to perform dawn prayers qadla.

The pedanda did not dare to interrupt.

They waited until the prayer was finished.

After wiridan, Sunan Kembang Kuning and the converts approached the pedanda.

“Please Sorry Mbah Bungkuk. We don't dare hold Resi Witjak's head. It was bundled up and we let it.”

“Lho? Not yet ash?”

“Butted Mbah. We surrendered. It's up to Mbah Bungkuk only, we hand over the body of Resi Witjak to genengan.”

“So, we will bury the body of Resi Witjak, yes.”

“Monggo."

So, Kanjeng Sunan Kembang Kuning carefully grazed the head of Resi Witjak, cleaned from the ashes, and carried it.

The head with smiling lips and a very fragrant aroma was shown to the villagers.

There are various reactions. Some were screaming, some were crying and some were amazed.

“Father of all mothers, know it. On the eve of his death, Resi Witjak obtained his guidance. The story is like this, when facing the giant eagle earlier, actually Resi Witjak can defeat the eagle, if you want to issue his magic knowledge that has been trained so far, namely by practicing from Hinduism. However, Resi Witjak chose not to use, and relied on his brute strength alone. Why does Resi Witjak not use Hinduism? Because he has uttered the phrase Shahadah, which is the confession that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad the messenger of Allah.”

“Resi Witjak becomes as a true Muslim. And in the fight against the eagle, of course it is very easy to beat, because the eagle is indeed a mighty animal. I found at the top of the hill, the intestines were decomposed, and the head was already detached from the neck. But, look, he smiled to bring death. Because, he has been shown the true favor of heaven.”

All are silent.

“In fact, God will not, if the body of this guardian, burn. To that end, how much the fire burned, the body of Resi Witjak remained untouched, even a strand of hair. So, we will bury the body of Resi Witjak Islamically.”

Then, the body of Resi Witjak was carried to a small hill, then some people dug a grave according to the orders of Sunan Kembang Kuning.

Villagers who had just learned of the Islamic funeral procession, flocked to see, including the pedanda.

After the hole is ready, the body of Resi Witjak buried with a tilted body and head in the north.

Sunan Kembang Kuning echoed the adhan, followed by iqomah.

Then landfilled.

After the funeral, Sunan Kembang Kuning recited talqin, in Javanese.

Intentionally voiced very loudly, accompanied by deep energy.

Hopefully, the whole community will be heard.

Some residents are engrossed in listening, especially the converts, until the process of reading talqin is complete.

Sunan Kembang Kuning and mara convert, back to the hut. Take a break, then they work to clean the ashes of the ashes, until they are clean again.

Life runs normally, no one else dares to disturb the existence of Sunan Kembang Kuning hut.

In fact, the hut is made even wider, because the number of converts is increasing.

The Pedanda no longer dared to disturb the hut.

In fact, Mr. Lurah several times, stealing the opportunity to listen to the salary that Sunan Kembang Kuning delivered to the converts.

Not only that, in a hidden place, Mr. Lurah followed the prayer, when it was time for congregational prayer.

Sunan Kembang Kuning knows this, but is left alone.

Until several times Mr. Lurah followed the prayer and stole the study and self-directed hearing from the hut, Sunan Kembang Kuning told one member of his congregation, to hide and catch Mr. Lurah.

Of course, the people who are very liked by Mr. Lurah are chosen. He was told to invite the talk of Mr. Lurah secretly, so as not to make Mr. Lurah ashamed, or caught by other residents.

And yes, during the Maghrib prayer, this one santri settles behind Mr. Lurah. When the prayer was held, Mr. Lurah followed the prayer movement. And suddenly, beside him, there were others following the prayer as well.

Of course Mr. Lurah was shocked, and he almost left the place. But quite a gamang.

After being glimpsed that the one standing next to him was one trusted person, Mr. Lurah undoed the intention to leave. But, keep following the prayer movement in the hut.

After the prayer, Mr. Lurah was dragged away in a place of darkness.

“Kanjeng Sunan already know, if Mr. Lurah steals hear. For that, I was asked to see mr.”

“Oh you, Lady. He, I am interested in this new religion called Islam. I seem to fit in with this religion. If I worship, I come here. It feels like that,” replied Mr. Lurah.

“Now it's up to Mr. Lurah. Want to meet directly Kanjeng Sunan, or not, is also okay.”

“If I meet now, of course the village will be in an uproar. What about the pedanda?”

“Lho, it's up to Mr. Lurah. If you do take risks, of course you can be blatant. If according to Mr. Lurah is still too risky, yes hiding is also okay. To become a Muslim, you have to say the word shahadah. That is the testimony of no god but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah.”

“Well, I want to be a Muslim. I've been steady. But, don't let people know.”

“Good Mr. Lurah. Follow the sentence I said.”

Then Mr. Lurah said the sentence of shahadah as guided by Ladi.

Pak Lurah Ki Serono Puspodiloro has become a Muslim, and it is suggested he use a Muslim name. Pak Lurah initially did not want to, but after being explained by Ladi, Pak Lurah chose the name Ahmad Muttaqin.

However, the Islam of Ki Serono Puspodiloro remains hidden.

And one night, Mr. Lurah wanted to meet Sunan Kembang Kuning, to discuss the development of his new religion.

“Kanjeng Sunan, I want to make this a Muslim village. How to ya?”

“Islam is built with love. Islam is rahmatan lil alamiin. So, no need to worry, later Islam will be accepted as it is. The proof, genengan finally chose to embrace Islam.”

“Because Islam for me is a religion acceptable to human reason.”

“I have actually promised to teach the knowledge of the Swadaraya Session to the pedanda and the citizens. It can probably be done through it.”

Mr. Lurah is silent.

“Then, it's good, Mr. Lurah who I taught first. I hope that the canoragan knowledge of Mr. Lurah must be much greater than the population and the pedanda, so that Mr. Lurah can be respected and respected, and can provide protection to the citizens in the event of an attack.”

Finally, Ki Serono expressed his agreement. And the exercises were done in a distant place, twice as fast. On a hill.

To disguise this exercise, Sunan Kuningan only wanted to be accompanied by one person, namely Ladi, while other converts remained in the hut, so as not to make other residents suspicious.

The training begins.
