Husband Does Not Know Himself
Muallaf

The next day, Riana actually went to the residence of Lea's friend who she said would give materials to Riana.

“Masyaallah, so beautiful is the way God gives guidance to his people” Gumam Siti, Leah's friend.

Siti has been told by Lea about Riana's arrival there.

“Mbak, in our country if you want to enter Islam and recognized by the country we must do it in KUA with some things that must be met as the conditions” said Siti, explain how to enter the teachings of Islam administratively.

“Terms for converting in Islam itself there are several stages, not only two sentences of shahadah, but there are still some things you need to do, he said, like a big bath and also perform prayers five times and understand every pillar of Islam that there”

“I will do it in KUA with you and also the head of RT in my residence who will be a witness” Sahut Riana.

“Alright, already made an appointment with his RT pack?” Ask Siti.

Riana nodded, already having an appointment at KUA at half-nine.

Siti saw her clock, “It's eight, then let's go there”.

They drove towards KUA, Riana had prepared the letters that would be used later.

Arriving at KUA, they immediately met the party there and carried out the process of conversion Riana.

“Asyhadu an laa ilaaha illallahu. Wa asyhadanna muhammadar rusullah”

Two sentences shahadah, managed to get out of Riana's lips.

With a thumping feeling, the woman shed her tears. Whether the happy feeling like what he was feeling right now, a beautiful smile was engraved from his beautiful face.

“Alhamdulillah” Gumam Siti and Lea together.

“Bu, because I have done the shahadah, I recommend that this mother immediately take a big bath later, and do not forget to practice the five pillars of Islam.

First, read the two sentences of the creed. The second, praying. Next, carry out fasting. After that, pay for zakat. And finally, go for Hajj if you can.

“Amiiin” Mumbles Lea and Siti together.

After their business in KUA was done, Riana returned to the residence of Siti. There, he was guided to do a big bath first.

After it was finished, Riana was given basic learning books about Islam.

There are correct prayer procedures, there are also materials about fasting and zakat, then some books that he got from the boarding school.

“Mbak, here are some books that can at least be learned but, I hope mbak finish first the basics of the basic books that” Siti pointed to three books that she gave first.

“Mbak know there are not some privileges when we are born into a Muslim?

First, we will be removed from all evil. God has promised it to his people, as quoted in a Hadith of the Nasai History, which is essentially like this,

for those who practice Islamic law properly and appropriately, Allah SWT will repay him ten to seven hundred times the reward of his kindness. Likewise, if you do bad, you will be reciprocated equally and equally unless Allah SWT forgives you.

The next privilege is the sustenance that will always be sufficient from Allah SWT. Do not feel less than anything, still feel grateful for what God has given us. For Allah is all-knowing and all-sufficient when He gives us sustenance.”

The explanation Siti gave was enough to make Riana no longer discouraged, it further motivated her to continue spreading kindness.

“Can I be little by little in closing myself? That is, when using the hijab?” Ask Riana.

“For a woman, the aurat is all over her body except, face and palms. And for a Muslim woman who is already in puberty, the law is obliged to close the law. But Islam is not judgmental, Riana said.

Even a prostitute*r can go to heaven just for helping a dog.

This is the story of the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW, where when there was a prostitute*r who was walking in the hot sun. Then, on the way he found a dog circling a well while sticking out his tongue, where it turned out that the dog was thirsty. The woman's heart felt pity, she fell down and took off her shoes to draw water from the well and gave the water to the dog.

Imagine, if the comfort woman who peddles her body can go to heaven because of such a simple thing, what if we are able to close the aurat perfectly and practice Islamic sharia well?

We live this life is a choice, Riana. If you're not ready, that's okay. Slow down and enjoy each process” Once the explanation of Siti so pervasive in Riana's mind.
