Golden Yarn Songket Auction
For almost 2 days in Palembang, Hafsah and Nadia fairly active interaction. Unlike Princess Aziza, she was more silent only occasionally to speak.
The figure of Princess Aziza who actually just appeared after she and her friends participated in watching the measurement of land in the Ogan Ilir area.
On the night after the measurement of land, Princess Aziza, Hafsah and Nadia were escorted by Mang Uju Muhammad's wife to an auction held by the local government.
In the event, among them at the auction 3 songket cloth made of gold yarn that is almost 300 years old. This rare Songket fabric comes from the time of the Sultanate of Palembang Darussalam.
This auction event was covered by all local mass media in Palembang. The auction committee informs the auction proceeds will be used for the maintenance costs of cultural heritage objects.
When the auction event began, Princess Aziza immediately bid at a high price to get the fabric of the Sultanate of Palembang songket.
As soon as the other party submitted a higher price, Princess Aziza raised her offer again. Until the auction participants consisting of rich people in the city of Palembang was not able to compete with it.
At the 2nd cloth auction, Princess Aziza did not participate. And the cloth was won by a wealthy collector from the city of Palembang, at a price much lower than the sale of the first cloth.
At the 3rd cloth auction, Princess Aziza again made a bid, and just like the first cloth, she managed to win the auction at a high price.
Kontan alone, what Princess Aziza did made a scene in the city of Palembang. The purchase of rare objects by Princess Aziza is a hot talk on social media.
And on the morning of the next day, some mass media came to the place where Princess Aziza was staying, they asked for time to be able to interview the Princess.
Princess Aziza confirmed that she will hold a press conference after attending a charity event held at the Pesantren Al Mansyur Palembang Branch.
The charity activity itself, only started at around 10:00 am in the form of distribution of parcels to hundreds of orphans as well as lunch together.
On that occasion, Princess Aziza invited all the mass media in Palembang City to be present at the charity event.
Charity activities that will be attended by Princess Aziza are certainly affected. Activities that were initially ordinary, immediately turned into the center of public attention.
"What's the reason you bought this historic songket?" ask a reporter during a press conference.
"I am very in love with Indonesian culture, the purchase of this songket cloth as a form of my love, as well as helping the local government finance the maintenance of cultural heritage objects" replied Princess Aziza in fluent Indonesian.
"Where are you going to keep that thing? Because many Palembang people regret that the historic fabric is owned by outsiders" asked a journalist criticizing the purchase of songket.
"This item remains in Palembang, will be displayed at the restaurant we will establish" said Princess Aziza.
"You mean, which resto and when to start standing?" ask the reporter to know.
"I with friends will open a restaurant typical of Nusantara cuisine, his name is "Warung Hafsah son of Betawi" in the city of Palembang" replied Princess Aziza excitedly.
Hafsah and Nadia who were present at the press conference were smiling themselves. They acknowledged Princess Aziza's ingenuity in taking advantage of the situation and conditions to promote a restaurant that would stand.
"Later, these historic fabrics will be stored in the restaurant, and the people of Palembang are welcome to see them" Princess Aziza said again.
"Aren't you worried, the songket was broken or taken away?" ask the curious reporter.
"The fabric of this songket we will put in a special storage place using high technology so as not to be easily damaged, while security issues, we will coordinate with the authorities" Princess Aziza replied seriously.
The press conference on that day has been a means of promoting the plan for the establishment of "warung Hafsah son of Betawi". Without the need for promotional costs, the restaurant "Warung Hafsah Anak Betawi" became a hot talk among the people of Palembang City.
On the other hand, the contribution of Princess Aziza to help the maintenance costs of cultural heritage objects, certainly has an impact on the ease she receives when starting her business later.

The Orphans
The meaning of Orphans themselves is the child whose father died when he was a child, or not yet puberty. While if the deceased is his mother, then it is called an orphan.
As for the limits of people called Orphans, can be seen in the following hadith.
“No longer called orphaned child who has been dreaming (baligh).” (CHR. Abu Daud of Ali ibn Abi Talib).
In the Qur’an, the word orphan is mentioned 23 times, which is 8 times called in single form, 14 times in plural and 1 time in two forms (mutsanna).
In these verses it is expressly said, orphans are figures that must be loved, cared for and received attention.
As stated in QS. Al Baqarah verse 220, which reads: “They ask you about orphans, say “Repairing their situation is good.”
In the book 'The Powerful Prayer of Orphans’ written by M. Khallurrahman Al Mahfani, there are priorities of those who love orphans, including:
Seizing Opportunities Close to the Prophet
As his word:
“I and the person who nurtures or nurtures orphans will be in this paradise,” then he hints with index and middle fingers and stretches it a little.” (CHR. Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Abu Daud and Ahmad of Sahl ibn Sa’d).
Orphan Guardians Guaranteed to Go to Heaven
As stated in the hadith:
“One who cares for orphans among Muslims, gives him food and drink, surely Allah will enter into heaven, unless he commits an unforgivable sin.” (CHR. Tirmidhi of Ibn Abbas).
Getting the Help of God
As the following hadith states:
“Whoever takes away the trouble of the believers in the world, Allah will take away his trouble in the world and the Hereafter. Whoever eases the difficulties of the believers in the world, Allah will ease the difficulties of the world and the Hereafter. And whoever covers the disgrace of the Muslims, Allah will cover his disgrace in the Hereafter. Allah will help His servant as long as he helps his brother. (CHR. Muslims and Ashhabus Sunan of Abu Hurairah).
Charity Farms for the Hereafter
As in the hadith:
“If man dies then cut off his charity, except for three things: alms, useful knowledge and godly children who always pray for him.” (CHR. Muslims from Abu Hurayrah).
