Hijrahku From Dating
part 53's
Adzan Dzuhur. It seems, my return from Jogja to Garut is only half the way back. Papa asked the driver to turn to an SPBU. Papa gave the driver money to buy gasoline. Mom and I got out of the car. We headed to the complete Rest Area with the mushola facility. Huh, my body feels tired.
.
"Sholat first yuk, Nia. Plural yes," asked Mama.
"Mmm, Annisa is on holiday, Ma" I replied.
"Oh, yes" said Mama as she passed to the toilet. Seen some people passing by. Some people also sleep in the carpet-floored Rest Area. I went into the Rest Area and put down my big, heavy bag. Then, I leaned my back against the wall of the Rest Area & extended my legs forward. I'm so sultry. Luckily, on the ceiling of the Rest Area there was a fan. While waiting for Papa, Mama & Pak Driver to pray, I intend to read the novel given by Kak Sam. I wrote a novel called "Go Hijrah and Move Up!" from bag. I started to open the first sheet.
.
"There is no such thing as an Islamic courtship. Islam invites to heaven, while the courtship of the invitation of shaythan to hell.
So, still going out? He said he wanted to go to heaven, why did he go to hell?"
.
That's the opening I read on the first sheet. Come to think of it, there's a point too. Continue to the second page. I read it page by page, until I finish Chapter 1. The novel written by Kak Sam tells the story of a man who emigrated from dating. Similar to the real story of Sam. The man is said to be from a dating activist and turned into a preacher who is in the path of Allah. His specialty is very firm, especially in the field of avoiding courtship. Also written in the novel are tips & lectures expressed by the character when filling the sermon in the mosque. Among his lectures were :
.
"Dating belongs to the category of approaching adultery. God says :
"And do not approach adultery; indeed, it is an abomination. And a bad road". [AL-ISRAA' (17) :32].
From that verse, we can conclude that God forbids us from approaching adultery. Getting close to it is forbidden, especially to do so. And we are Muslims, who must submit and obey the rules of Allah and the Messenger of Allah in our daily lives. Among them, leaving the prohibition of God, which is not dating.
Okay, maybe antum argues, "Ah, I'll date him mediocre. Just meeting, chatting, eating together, walking together, and as his .. You may not do indecent things".
In essence, Antum thinks that what antum does is not violate religion. In fact, it was already in violation. Islam regulates the boundaries of the relationship between men & women who are not mahrams. Is that mahram? Mahram is an illegitimate person, such as a biological father for girls, a biological mother for boys, an older brother, a younger sibling, an uncle, aunts, grandparents. Well, against those who are not mahrams, there are its limits. That is we should not intentionally look at the opposite sex who is not a mahram and should not touch it. So when invited by the salaman, we put both hands on the chest. As a code that we don't want to be invited to shaman".

That's the character's advice in Chapter 1 in the novel "Go Hijrah and Move up!".
*tess.
One point of my tears did not feel dripping, soaking the pages of the novel I read. I immediately wiped the page of the novel with the tip of my thumb. I immediately closed the novel and hurriedly wiped away the tears that had soaked my cheeks. But my heart still feels broken.
"So, all this time I've been breaking God's rules? By courting, does that mean I am not subject to the rules of Islam? I broke one verse of Al-Israa's letter? Oh Allaah, what a disgrace this is. Astarghfirullaahis. Forgive me, O Allaah," my heart.
"Neng, why cry?" ask the driver who just woke up from his sleep.
Apparently, in the Rest Area there were only the four of us.
"Eh. Gakpapa koq, sir. Just because I read the novel" I replied.
"Oh, I guess why," said the driver, laying down his body.
"Did the driver hear me cry?" my mind.
Suddenly, my stomach hurt.
"aww. Innaa lillaahi wa inna ilaihi raaji'uun," I watered while holding my stomach.
"Miss? Why?" ask the driver who woke up.
"Ga knows, sir. Maybe because I haven't eaten yet" I replied.
"Master, Mister. Get up Sir" said the driver, shaking Papa's leg.
"It's okay, sir. Kasian Papa, tired," I said.
"eeh. Later Neng can get sick," said the driver.
My mom also woke up.
"Yes. What's up?" ask Papa.
"That's it, Neng Annisa's stomach hurts," replied the driver.
"Astaghfirullaah, Mama forgot. Annisa's gonna have stomach ulcers. Yes, we're looking for food, yuk," asked Mama.
We headed to SPBU's cafe.
