YOUR SALAM IS MY DOWER

The Unexpected Meeting

 

The Turkish sun began to shine, through the white curtain that the occupants were still sleeping on the bed, as if trying to wake the owner of the soul whose eyes were still closed,

 

a few minutes later the light was blinding the eyes,

Aras blinked his eyes slowly, adjusting to the situation, then his eyes moved towards the wall clock hanging right above the door of his apartment room, the time was already indicated at 07:00 am. He slowly got up from his sleep and headed for the bathroom.

Today he did not have any morning classes so he woke up a little bit in the afternoon.

the conversation he had with adinka last time was still passing in his mind, for that today he decided to return to visit the great mosque mardin met with imam Mehmet.

want to discuss again and ask some questions that have not been able to find the answer.

*******

Adinka dormitory

 

Today Adinka decided to take a walk around the city of Turkey by bicycle, because today there are no courses to follow, he said,

 

maybe a little walk will cheer up and make my heart happy.

with his old grey sneakers he pedaled his bike,

to some places not too far away.

his eyes looked around the beautiful Turkish city.

finally he stopped at a park, parked his bike and sat on a park chair while reading the Surah Ar-rahman on his mobile phone app.

he is so late in every verse, and his translation is so deep.

it did not feel like a bulir of tears fell down his cheeks, soaking his cheeks,

the feeling of undue hope, his soul so weak defeated by love, yes adinka an ordinary man who has love and hope, but he realized that all of it is pseudo, it just takes time to neutralize everything as before.

after reading his favorite surah, he decided to pedal his bicycle to the Great Mardin mosque, he wanted to perform Duha prayers there.

****

Aras was neat with trousers, and a blue night shirt, looks so perfect dress her tall body, really to look almost perfect, looks almost perfect,

He headed to his car park, decided to bring a car, because after from the grand mosque mardin he wanted to visit another place .

after arriving at the grand mosque mardin , Aras parked his car in the side yard and went straight to the room where imam Mehmet was, because he had made an appointment to meet.

" Shop.tok.tokk...

Excuse the priest, softly sweep while smiling.

" Let's go in Mr. Aras, replied imam Mehmet, standing up to welcome Aras, They both shook hands.

" please sit down, imam mehmet told Aras.

" Thank you priest, I asked you some questions that I haven't been able to answer from the various information I have,

imam Mehmet patiently answered all the questions I asked.

we talked for a long time and then Imam Mehmet gave me a piece of paper, which had written the names of two people I had to meet as additional sources of information so that my belief in studying Islam was more perfect.

The time showed at 12:30, there was a sweet sound of azan, for a moment I leaned my back on the sofa I was sitting on in front of the priest, I enjoyed the sound of azan as if calling me, it's a feeling my conscious can't answer.

" he.ehh..

yes priest, sorry I was a little daydreaming, I replied.

then I intended to leave the priest's room, shake his hand and say thank you.

***

Azan zuhur reverberated, I decided to take wudu, whose ablution place is behind the mosque, I walked straight to fulfill my intention to ablution, I said,

after I passed by a room I knew was the usual room of Imam Mehmet, the door was slightly open, the priest's face was shady and he looked like he was talking to someone while shaking hands.

I seem to know that figure,

I stopped my steps for a moment, when the door opened, and right in front of me.

that person is Prof Aras.

" How spontaneous I was, after the door of the room was opened, came out prof Aras and imam Mehmet together.

what prof is here. I coned a little bit of my forehead because I was confused and surprised to see Prof Aras in the mosque with imam Mehmet,.

I was as shocked as Adinka, who was standing right in front of me, I could not speak as if my tongue was muffled to answer her question._ Level

" Assalamualaikum imam, I said hello

because2 to my honor, I forgot to greet the priest first.

I am a student of master prof Aras, I said then explained.

" Greetings waalaikum, said imam Mehmet to return my greetings.

Later it was seen that Mehmet spoke Turkish with prof Aras.

sometimes I find the shy face of prof Aras when talking, I don't know what they are talking about.

" Em I only visited here for a while, there is business, I said answering adinka questions that from earlier his eyes still seemed astonished to see my whereabouts here,

okay I want to go home to the apartment, I continued to Adinka.

" Mm-hm.. Okay prof,.

careful driving, reply me with still look astonished.

I was still standing at my place for a moment when I saw prof cedar pass to his car parked in the backyard where I wanted to ablution, then a flash of him waving his hand sign he already wanted to go.

" kids.. Do you want to pray together, ?

imam Mehmet Mehmet's voice ripped my daydream, while the pro prof cedar's own car was no longer visible.

my mind is clearly questioning the existence of prof aras here. Does he want to study Islam?

" i.iya imam, I replied a little stammered when aware of my intention behind is to want to berwudu and join congregational prayers.

I said I'll take wudu immediately.
