YOUR SALAM IS MY DOWER
A book
🌼🌼🌼
The Great Mosque of Mardin.
" What can I help said Imam Mehmet looking at me ".
" i have read books from the library about Islam, and also searched for information on google, but there are some things that I still do not understand, he said, so I decided to come to this mosque, I wanted to learn about the religion of Islam.
imam Mehmet then took me to a small room, in which was a neatly arranged bookcase, and there was a computer on a small table.
" Please sit down ,
he said pointing to a chair that was right in front of the table, we were facing.
" You've come to the right place, and I'm glad that the local Turks want to learn Islam, this is the office of AMK, (the Turkish Muslim association).
here where people who want to learn the religion of Islam, we discuss and answer questions about the teachings and rules in the religion of Islam,.
" if I may know, why did Mr. Aras want to study Islam?
I hesitated to answer my reasons for studying Islam.
" Do you want to marry an Islamic woman?
his words managed to get me stuck
" Where did Imam Mehmet know why I wanted to marry an Islamic woman ? slightly raised my eyebrows in confusion.
" Hahahaha.tidak need to be surprised, because a lot of people who come here to study Islam, for the same reason .
most of them are married to Arabs who work here or Indonesians .
I got stuck again, apparently I'm not the only Turkish local who wants to learn Islam because he wants to marry an Islamic woman.
" I had actually proposed, but I was rejected, because I was an atheist, I finally believed in God, but I did not believe in any religion,
my outlook changed when I got to know the woman, she was my master student from Indonesia,
she had a calm, shady face, she never forced me to convert to her religion.
I even wanted to study Islam here without his knowledge.
" You choose a very appropriate woman, for sure she also does not agree if mr.aras studied Islam just because he wanted to marry her,.
I was silent to the words of Imam Mehmet, as a child pervaded every word that came out of his mouth.
" What basic things should I know about Islam first imam, I immediately asked a question.
"In the meantime, I will take a book, the Five Pillars of Islam,
then imam Mehmet went to the bookshelf and picked up a book.
this is the basic book of learning the most important principle in Islam.
There are five basic actions in Islam that are considered as a mandatory foundation for people who want to convert to Islam.
Saying Two Words of Shahadah
shahadah is the main gate to enter Islam, so if you have not passed this gate you can not say a Muslim.
" How is the word of the creed a priest?
I asked back and I wondered
***Asy-hadu allaa ilaaha illallaahu wa asy-hadu anna muhammadarrasuulullahi".
Meaning
"I testify that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah***".
this is a sacred proof or oath to be said by someone who wants to convert to Islam
" i was stunned to hear the words of Imam Mehmet.
" we'll go further, you'll get more information from this book, and if there's anything less understood you can come back here to discuss with me, imam Mehmet.
2.set up prayers
After becoming a Muslim, of course, Salat must be referred to as Salat 5 time ,
Salat 5 time consists of
- Dawn
Prayers performed before dawn (between 04:00). This prayer amounts to 2 raka'at
" At 04:00 I replied in shock, because it was the clock that people were still asleep, still asleep,
imam Mehmet smiled, then continued his explanation.
Prayers are done during the day (around 12:00) and total 4 raka'at.
- Ashar
Prayers performed in the afternoon (around 15:30) with a total of 4 raka'at.
the Maghrib
Prayers are performed at sunset until entering Isha's time. There are 3.
ishaa
prayers are done at around 19:00 with a total of 4 raka'at.
" Do not worry, everything will be light if you are used to it,
the priest explained as if understanding because it was too heavy for me.
maybe I will also object if I have to teach students and work on reports, but if I am used to it will definitely be light, soft speech accompanied by a smile.
Fasting in Ramadan
Every Muslim is required to fast for a full month in Ramadan. The goal is to achieve piety to Allah SWT. fasting is to train patience, foster empathy for the hungry so that our hearts are encouraged to help the underprivileged.
when fasting we should not eat and drink and endure vile deeds, during the day from dawn to sunset.
" A minute, sorry
I cut the priest's words, do we not eat and drink all day?
I was astonished to hear the priest's explanation.
if only I wake up at 4 am I can still do business, but not eat and drink all day,.
" is the priest joking, I said spontaneously,
Imam Mehmet just smiled, seeing my reaction, like he had often found this expression.
" I continue, said Imam Mehmet.
4.Zakat
like donations to cleanse ourselves and our possessions from sin, the amount depends on the condition of each country.
5.Hajj
the last is to take the Hajj to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, only this for those who can get there, done once a year.
It turned out that this weight of studying Islam, I was still amazed to listen to the explanation of Imam Mehmet, I felt discouraged.
Such is islam mr.Aras,
think carefully first before entering her, Because the consequences are very great.don't expect just to get a woman but after her you are not responsible as a Muslim.
islam is a peaceful religion if you are able to follow its rules well.
imam Mehmet, said,
" Well imam, thanks to Harini, I will find more information maybe also from my students on campus.sorry to interfere with priest time.
" No bother mr .Cedars
I have a message for you
if you want to learn Islam eliminate prejudice, it will be seen if Islam is a beautiful religion that is very pure, has a history that is so great and high standards.
Then I shook Imam Mehmet's hand, saying thank you and saying goodbye.
