The Ustadz Children's Challenge

Qobiltu

Almost all family members have gathered in the mosque jami Al-Kasturi want to witness a sacred ritual, a sacred event. Marriage, yes it is an easy word to say but difficult to carry out. Marriage is not easy, there are many obstacles in it. Like sailing in the middle of the ocean, there will certainly be waves, storms, which must shake the boat that is in use sailing, but surely the nakoda, the fisherman, the fisherman, I will try to get through that challenge. Brgitu also in the household, there will certainly be challenges, trials, economics, material, misunderstandings and so on. But the husband who acts as the nakoda and the wife as the passenger. Must be able to control the household boat in order to sail smoothly, can pass all the challenges.

Before the implementation of ijab qobul, Kyai Munaya, as the father of ning Nadiva read out the sermon of marriage to practice the sunnah of Rosulullah. The sermon itself contains a special adage for both brides.

After finishing reading the sermon, Kyai Munaya again sat opposite Zhaffar, with on his right there was an officer from KUA, then there was also Ustadz Latif, and there was also a clerk from KUA, one of the administrators in Taisirul kholaq who will be a witness from the ning Nadiva, and there is a kang Roni who is a witness from Zhaffar's side.

“We just start ya kyai?” ask the KUA officer.

“Yes, let's get started! Are you ready for Zhaffar?” ask kyai Munaya.

“InsyaAllah ready!” zhaffar replied with a bit of firmness even with a bowed-hearted look.

“Alright, let's start by reading istighfar, sholawat then shahadah together!” said the KUA officer. They all did as the KUA officer said.

After he finished reading Istighfar, sholawat and Shahadah, Kyai Munaya linked his hands with Zhaffar and was ready to do ijab and qobul. And that made Zhaffar even more nervous. His heart is racing.

“Ankahtuka wajawaztuka makhtubataka ibnati Siti Nadiva Karomah al-Munaya, bimahri khomsati wa ‘isriina ghirooman minadzahabi wa qiroatul polar tafsir jalalain haalan!” kyai Munaya said casually but there was a little pressure on lafadz ‘haalam’ with a slight blow to his hand on Zhaffar's hand.

“Why witness?” ask the KUA officer while glancing towards the two witnesses, namely Ustadz Latif and kang Roni.

“Shyah!” answer ustadz Latif.

“Shyah!” replied Roni kang when glimpsed by KUA officers.

“Alhamdulillah! Who will lead do’a?” ask the KUA officer.

“kyai Hatim! Tafdhol besan!” kyai Munaya said. Without rejecting the speech of Kyai Munaya, kang Hatim immediately went forward to take the mic given by the KUA officer and directly led do’a.

“Allaumma sholli wasallaim wabaarik aamiin ya robbal ‘aalamiin, bismillborn rohomaanir rohiim, alhamdulillahi robbil ‘aalamiin, washolaatu wassalaamu ‘alaa sayyidil mursaliin, sayyidinaa wamaulaanaa muhammadiw wa’ala washohbihi ajma’iin. Allohumma bifadlika ‘ummanaa wabiluthfika huffanaa waj’al haajal ‘aqdu mubaarokam ma’shuumamaw wa alqi bainahumaa ulfatab waqorooron daaimaw walaataj’al bainahumaa furqotan wafioorow wakhishoomaa wakfihimaa mu’natad dunyaa Wl endoh. Washolallahu ‘alaa sayyidinaa muhammadiw wa ‘ala aalihi wasohbihi wasallama walhamdulillahi robbil ‘aalamiin! Alfaatihah!” kang Hatim finished reading out the lead reading do’a for his son Zhaffar and ning Nadiva who is now officially her husband.
