TREASON OF LOVE

Chapter 34. Written Message

The mother was stunned when Azzura was curious about the holy verse of the Quran. The smile on her lips expanded knowing and feeling there was a trace of hope for Azzura to embrace her religion.

"I read his name as the Qur'an. The guidelines of life of the whole community. The Qur'an, or Qur'an, is a major holy book in Islam, which Muslims believe is revealed by Allah only writing, which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The book is divided into several suras and each surah is divided into several verses."

"This Qur'an is one of the four books that Allah has revealed" she said.

"Four? What other book?" ask Azzura.

"The first Book of Zabur was revealed to the Prophet David as and was revealed on 6 Ramadan. Both Torahs were handed down to the Prophet Musa AS on the 12th of Ramadan. The three Gospels were handed down to Prophet Isa AS on the 12th of Ramadan. The four books of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. And the Qur'an was first revealed in the Cave of Hira, north of Mecca on 17 Ramadan 610, then descended gradually."

"May I ask you again?" Azzura besides in but curious.

"Yes please. God willing as much as I can be in the air."

"Why did your Lord create 4 different scriptures?"

"So is the reason why Allah SWT the All-Knower sent down different scriptures, for the Torah was revealed as the basic foundation of monotheism, Zabur was sent down to prepare the people to the next level, then the gospel, and finally the Qur'an as the book of perfection. The Qur'an is also revealed by Allah SWT as a guide for the life of every Muslim. Therefore, the Qur'an must always be read, studied, understood and made the basis of daily life." At length the woman explained about the book she read earlier.

Azzura nodded in understanding. "Oh so."

"Mom, can I learn a lot about it while I'm ..." Azzura did not continue his words because he felt bad.

"Of course you can, son. Just want to learn Alhamdulillah, let alone follow the teachings of God, added masyallah. Learning can be about many things, but to convert must come from our own hearts and our own beliefs. Can't be forced. So I understand what you mean."

"That's it, Mom."

"Oh yes, from earlier we talk at length have not been acquaintances. Who are you, son?" ask her.

"I'm Azzura Fatharani, if mother?"

"Qulsum, just call me umi Qulsum."

"Umi Qulsum, a beautiful name as beautiful as Umi's face that radiates the light of beauty." Praise Azzura sounds sincere.

"No need to umi. Azzura wants to find a contract." He doesn't want to trouble anyone else.

"Umi don't mind, son. It is precisely umi happy to be able to invite you to stay with umi. Umi does not have a daughter, if you want you to come home. Surely umi's house will be crowded if there's you."

"No Umi, thank you for offering. But Azzura can't come because we ..."

"Umi understand. Umi will not force you either. It just so happens that not far from where Umi lives there is a church. You can worship there."

"Hmm how is it?" Azzura considered the invitation of Umi Qulsum. He who is curious about what Umi Qulsum explains wants to know more.

"This alone, Azzura contracted in one of the Umi's houses, so there's no need to go around looking for a contract anymore." Umi Qulsum offers again.

"Alright, Umi. Azzura wants to."

"Rather than looking around for a contract, mending join us."

"Assynolajet, Umi. Sorry long ago, the tire patch was still covered," said a man wearing a Koko, sarong, and also a peci while carrying a motorbike stopped in front of us.

"It's okay, Ahmad. Oh yes, you go home first, umi wants to go home with Nak Azzura. He's gonna contract at the house next to Umi."

The man named Ahmad saw Azzura. "But, Umi ..."

"Let's explain at home, yeah."

*****

Azzura and Umi Qulsum have arrived at their destination. However, Azzura was shocked as he stood at the tall gate inscribed with the Darul Wisdom boarding school.

"Umi, this?"

"Umi's staying here, son."
