Hijrah Stories
Episode 2

Exam\- the end of school exams have arrived I who want to graduate from First High School with a perfect score began to study hard so I forgot to pray and teach even for a few days I did not pray and teaching at all, the graduation day has arrived I am glad I have graduated even though it is not with perfect grades as I want, I want, yes, although it does not get perfect grades, but the value I get from studying hard can be said to be good.

After graduating from Junior High School I also started looking for a new school after a few days thinking I also decided to enroll in Private Vocational High School at that time I majored in networking and computers. I who became a new student in a new school with a new atmosphere and did not know anyone began to adapt well I also get good friends and always invite me in kindness.

In the new school I got friends\-friends and teachers who would patiently teach and advise me about what a good Muslim is obligatory to be. Like a glimmer of light that enters and illuminates a dark room, such are those who are like a ray of light that shines upon my life, I also began to try to improve my behavior that is far from the word good and my words that do not have a grammar.

I was against my parents and to the point of making my mother tear up, I deeply regretted my actions when I heard the advice of one of my teachers.

Teacher: you should never fight your parents, you must study hard at school do not play games, if you can make your people proud of the achievements you achieved, he said, pity your parents who are hard-nosed to find money for your school fees, and you also have to respect and love your parents because no one in this world knows when death will take them, if your parents are angry or nagging don't be heard just because you don't know later, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow can still listen to your mother's nagging or not, understand until here ?

Student: understand sir

Just like in Junior High who is active in school organization activities in SMK I also do the same thing but the difference when SMP I never stay at school while in SMK I even often staying at school because of the organizational activities held by the school although busy in activities while staying at school I actually never left the five prayers, even what I had never done sunah prayer like tahajud sunah prayer during my stay at school I also always did it even never holiday sunah tahajud prayer.

But all that did not last long after returning home I returned as usual I was very lazy in doing fardu prayers, sometimes I was very confused with myself why I was like that.

At the time of Ramadan, my school made a flash boarding school, but the activity was not made just for our school alone apart for all SMK schools in the district, many students from other schools also participated in the lightning pesantren activity, I who had no interest at all to participate in the activity, he said, changed my mind to participate in the activity because of seduction from my friends. Although the activity lasted for three days and three nights but so many lessons I got and not only that I also got new friends who came from other schools.

Ayu:we I don't know if I can win in the race later, because my opponent they are on the smart-smart I became pessimistic.

Siska: is ayu you are not pessimistic about dong, you must keep the spirit must continue to learn do not give up you must also pray with God because if God has willed the impossible becomes possible.

Hearing the words of my friend made my confidence increase, I who used to rarely pray because the race became diligent in doing the prayer finished my prayer and prayed so that I could win in the race, but God said otherwise I lost the race, I was very sad and I was devastated because of my stupidity I was angry with God I said things I should not say.

Ayu: siska Allah is not fair with me, even though I have tried and studied hard and I have also prayed five times and prayed but why did I lose ?

Siska: ayu you can't talk about it, every incident there must be a silver lining you did not challenge the race but try to see that you used to rarely do prayers because of the race you became diligent in praying.

Hearing the words of siska I also began to think that I rarely pray and do more bad than good, but God always gives me health and sustenance even when I am in trouble and I pray and ask God for help, God always grant my prayers and help me in trouble, but only because I asked to win in the Olympic race and God did not grant it I immediately prejudiced against God, I should be ashamed that I always ask God for more things, sometimes God gives me more than I ask, but I am not grateful and grateful that I often leave behind what I ask for ordered and I did what was forbidden.

I who had prayed and prayed only if I was in trouble and asked God for something now slowly began to improve my attitude, even though sometimes only doing magrib prayer, he said, dawn and Isya alone are not full five times, but I keep trying to be able to pray five times in a timely manner without having to stall for time even though I am not at home.
