DIVIDING HAPPILY.

Tok.dok...

The sound of knocking on the door made Ahmad rush to the door and leave his breakfast the next morning. The figure of a santri who was so familiar to him stood before him.

"Assalamualaikum Kak Ahmad, I'm sorry to disturb there is an urgent situation" said Hasan with breath still panting.

"What is Hasan, why are you running around like a gini?" Ask Ahmad .

"Anu.. Mr. Ustadz Alwi suddenly got sick. Though the opening ceremony of the Ta'lim assembly will start in a few minutes. He asked for his brother to replace him" Hasan replied

"Astaghfirullah's... Yes already then you go first to the mosque later I will follow soon" said Ahmad

Hasan nodded and immediately went to the mosque to make an announcement in front of the participants of the Ta'lim assembly. Ahmad immediately changed his clothes and headed to the mosque after saying goodbye to Isma . Although there was no response whatsoever to the woman .

Hasan signaled that the event had started a while ago . Even the recitation of the Holy Quran has almost begun. When the MC announced his name as a speaker today .He immediately went to the pulpit that had been provided by the committee of the mosque .

Ahmad calmed down a moment before he started .

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" Ahmad said

"Waalaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" Answers were heard throughout the participants of the ta'lim assembly

"Allahumma sholi' ala' Muhammad, wa ala' Ali Syaidina Muhammad, wa ala Alihi wa shohbihi ajma'in, Anna ba'du"

Ahmad looked at the entire audience.

"Today I was asked by Mr. Kiai Haji Alwi Mansyur to replace him who was not feeling well . May he recover quickly so that he can be in our midst together to undergo activities as usual again amen .. let us pray together for his healing , Al-fatihah" Ahmad guided .

Sent by all participants of the ta'lim assembly read Al-fatihah together to pray for the healing of Ustadz Alwi .

"All right now let us open this ta'lim assembly event with material that I will bring about one of the signs of happiness according to the Prophet Muhammad shalallahu alahi wasallam, qolban syakiro" said Ahmad .

All eyes were staring at him .

"Among the signs of happiness, is the heart that is always grateful . It means always accept what is or often called Qona'ah so that there is no excessive ambition and no stress. This is a blessing by a heart that is always grateful".

A breath in exhaled quietly from within Ahmad .

"Rasulullah Saw said look at the people who are below you, and do not look at the people who are above you. That way you cannot underestimate the favor God has given you . Hadith of Bukhari and Muslim"

Ahmad stopped for a moment .

"The "hadist reminds us that no one is equal. Some are higher and some are lower . The Prophet ordered us to look at those below us. Whyyy??? Because if we look down we will always be grateful for whatever sustenance and favor God gives us. But if we see a higher degree than ourselves . then we will always be a perfect human being who will have the blessings that Allah has given us" Ahmad explained .

Ustadz Alwi who was on the second floor smiled satisfied with the explanation conveyed by Ahmad .

"In another hadith explained to the Prophet, two things when possessed by someone he will be recorded by Allah as a grateful and patient person . In matters of religion he looks to the higher and then imitates and imitates in world affairs he looks to the lower, then thanks to Allah that he is still given the advantages. Hadith history of At-Tirmidhi"

Ahmad saw Hasan giving a sign that the time he had was running out .

"So the material conclusion I give today is that we as human beings must always learn to accept things as they are .Do not look higher for world affairs, but look lower for us to be patient and grateful. So much material that I can convey, if there is a mistake then please forgive. I am also still in the learning stage . Wabillahi Taufik wal hidayah, Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" Ahmad also closed the material calmly .

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh"

After descending from the pulpit , Hasan also signaled Ahmad to follow him to the second floor of the mosque . Ustadz Alwi had been waiting for him to talk.

"Assalamualaikum Akh Ahmad "Sapa ustadz Alwi

"Wa'alaikum salam pak ustadz, how is the condition of the father? is there anything I can help you with?" Ask Ahmad

"I'm fine Akh .. just a little cold" replied ustadz Alwi.

"Alhamdulillah if Ustadz is okay . I was just surprised when Hasan told me that ustadz is sick again" Ahmad explained .

Ustadz Alwi chuckled softly. The two of them walked towards the balcony of the mosque enjoying the wind blowing slowly .

"Qolban Syakiro . with regard to Qona'ah..," Ustadz Alwi again discussed what Ahmad conveyed to the participants of the ta'lim assembly.

Ahmad stared at Ustadz Alwi .

"Did Ahmad not apply this when he married Ukhti Andini?" Ask ustadz Alwi .

The deg!!!

Immediately Ahmad's heart stopped for a moment to hear the question .

"I ask this not to open old wounds on Ahmad's day. I just want akh Ahmad to learn about what Ahmad himself said in the assembly"Obviously ustadz Alwi .

Ahmad remembered that face. Wife's face

"Allah gives a mate ukhti Andini as a mate akh Ahmad without any conditions, it is appropriate if Ahmad akh grateful for the favor without looking at the higher. So.., if one day Allah gives Ahmad a second chance to meet again to Andini, never again wasted that opportunity" Message ustadz Alwi.

His heart rumbled like an ocean facing a tidal wave. Wide but empty .

'Allah, find me with my wife. Let me make amends to him. Allow me to share my life with him'.

*****

Adhan dhuhur mumbles clearly. Ria has completed PR at the cottage house of santriwati occupied by Tiara and Andini .

At that time other santriwati have busy ahead of the holy month of Ramadan . So Ria was forced to rest at the place of Tiara and Andini

"Ukhti Ria let's pray together?" Take Tiara

"Ukhti. How about we eat before prayer ? Pinta Ria's

Tiara looked at him while smiling behind her niqob .

"Ukhti Ria, prayer is the most important thing for us to do. eat we can feel after prayer" said Tiara

"Isn't it not good if we pray while remembering food?" ask Ria

Andini came out of the room with her mechanism already in her hands.

"Ukhti Andini.which is better ? Pray before eating but think about food when praying or eating first while thinking about prayer?" Ask Ria to Andini.

Andini laughed when she heard Ria's question. Tiara followed smiling.

"I would rather starve in the world than starve in the hereafter, '' said Ria.." Answer Andini.

"What do you mean, Ukhti Andini?" Ria doesn't understand

Andini also sat in front of Ria while rubbing the top of the woman's head with affection.

"Allah SWT says in Surah An-na'am, Qul Inna sholaatii wa nusukii wa mahyaaya wa mamaatii lillahi robbil 'alamiin, which means Say, O Muhammad, Verily my prayer, my Worship, my Life, and my Death is for God, the Lord of All Nature" Andini said

Ria was still watching him.

"So.. Pray for Ukhti Ria... Because the hunger in this world is nothing compared to the hunger in the hereafter. If in this world we feel hungry because of lack of food, then in the hereafter we will feel hungry because of lack of charity shaleh" explained Andini while smiling behind his niqob

Ria was stunned for a moment an explanation from Andini for her . Tiara embraces him to invite him to fetch water wudhu . Andini still smiled as she looked at her two good friends .

'Here I Can share anything with them..., What about you ? Did the 'She' you chose also share happiness with you?'.
