Ustadz Ridwan's Dream

209. Towards Accord

Ridwan tonight hardly slept at all, after the lecture at his house was over, Ridwan continued by reading the Qur'an until late at night and then continued with the sunnah prayer when the day was near dawn.

Outside the house, several male neighbors including Mas Amin were seen staying up late after arranging the display and also installing a wedding tent.

A craftsman also completed making janur as a decoration to be installed later in front of the house.

"I really only want You to accept this marriage, O God, make this marriage a way we can worship together, making us closer to you, O God, to make the family of the servant and the wife one day be able to give birth to the children of the Sholeh and the Sholehah, who are not only able to keep Your commandments, but can also walk in Your way, O God, having useful knowledge, and being able to introduce this Tawhid religion to more people."

Ridwan prayed with tears.

So solemn he was in prayer, that he did not feel the time continues to pass near dawn, and he after that certainly will not be able to rest again until the evening of the event walimatul ursy.

"O Allah, help the servant to always be a Priest for the wife and children of the servant, to be the head of the family who is always able to meet their needs with a halal sustenance, who can guide them always close to You, who can always be patient when given the test of calamity, and always keep themselves from takabur and more grateful when given the test of worldly pleasures."

Ridwan again shed tears, indeed he was so afraid if later unable to become a priest as proclaimed by His Majesty the Prophet,

Until then Adhan Fajr was really heard reverberating, Ridwan rubbed his face wet with tears and many beristighfar later before finally closing his prayer.

After that, he came out of the room and took the ablution water back to perform dawn prayers.

His mother Ridwan and Mbak Wening, assisted by Mbok Yem, seemed to be busy behind cooking rice and breakfast side dishes for the restless men.

"Sholat first Ma'am, Ma'am,"

Ridwan reminded.

"She will pray, calm down."

Sahut Mbak Wening who is flipping an omelet.

Its distinctive aroma smells so delicious.

"Ajeng said Iis woke up from three o'clock earlier,"

Said Mr. Wening,

Ah yes, Ridwan just remembered, if Ajeng today stay at the house Iis because it will be a bridal escort, he was very happy to be groomed and wear kebaya to sit next to Iis later.

Of course, in addition to Ajeng is basically like to wear makeup, he also wants to be proud because of being a bridal escort where the bride is Iis, the favorite Mother Teacher of his friends, including Ajeng himself of course.

Ridwan seemed to smile at hearing the story about Ajeng,

"Ning, this will saute the nuts lifted in ten minutes, do not forget to taste, like less sugar."

Said Mother,

"Salat first,"

Said Mother anyway.

Mbok Yem, who is busy stirring rice in a large container, is also seen putting the centong of his rice for a while,

"I also pray first Ma'am, to be calmer."

Said Mbak Wening.

"Oh no Mbok."

Ma'am Wening.

Ridwan seemed to have gone to the well, while Mother took a wet cloth and a towel to the bathroom.

Along with that Mas Amin appeared carrying a tray containing plates of old cakes and glasses of used coffee.

"Wash first Ning,"

Mas Amin said.

"Sholat first, it can be followed later."

Ma'am Wening.

"Yes later run out of this holiness directly pray and help make tea."

Mas Amin said.

"Later at half-nine must be at the house of Master Iis, make sure the angkot is not too late also yes Mas."

Message from Ma'am Wening,

"inshaAllah, if Mr. Saiful is usually the one who is always ontime, but I will still remind you."

Mas Amin said.

Ma'am Wening nodded then smiled sweetly.
