Mustafa was sitting in his seat in the rows of the class to take the test when he heard a voice. This time, Mustafa will top from the bottom in  the exams, that is, he will pass with a D grade, because like so many days, Mustafa will forget everything as soon as he sees the teacher and the paper! Hahaha … The sound of laughter of some boys sitting on the other side of Mustafa to give papers made Mustafa feel sad. Today he was much better than before and after Baba Jan’s explanation of Surat al-Naas, his morale was higher than before and he was also motivated and he had also recited Mu’awiztin on himself, but  don’t know why, he was afraid that if he forgot everything again today, then he would be dishonored and everyone would consider him unworthy. Mustafa’s friend Hasher came, Hasher was a caring, intelligent and mischievous child but a bit careless.

After greeting Mustafa, he looked surprised and said Mustafa, what happened to you? Didn’t you come  after beating your mother? and laughing.

Mustafa stared!

Hasher said: Oh, well, I understand! Didn’t get hit, then what happened?

Mustafa said: I was afraid that I would forget everything I remembered in the test.

Hasher said: Oh my God!  Is this a problem? What day will this brother come to work? Do not worry, I will take care of everything!

Mustafa said: How is that?

Hasher said: Obviously, by chatting!

And at the same time, a chit with chitting content was shown from the pocket of the uniform.

Mustafa looked surprised and said, You can’t cheat  Allah! He sees all!  Our marks will be cutting in world here after,  I don’t like your idea at all!  And yes! “You will not do chiting either,” Mustafa warned him by showing his finger.

Hasher shrugged his shoulders and said, “You can, but if I don’t get the test, I will take help, and however, if you don’t get it, you can take my help!”

 

Because, brother’s heart have very space ! Cheatting is also done by sharing! Hasher said to Attitude.

After saying this, Mustafa went to the prayer room, intending to ask Allah for help.

He started the prayer by saying Allahu Akbar and started reciting Surah Al-Falaq. As soon as he started Surah Al-Falaq, he remembered the conversation he and his brother Noah had in the school bus while traveling to school. I remembered the scene in which Noah Bhai had explained the meaning of Surah Al-Falaq.

Noah said: Mustafa, do you remember which is the second surah of Mu’awiztin?

Mustafa said: Yes, I remember!  That is Surat al-Falaq.

Noah said: Look at there, it is Falak. Noah pointed his finger and showed him the scene outside the window of the bus where the sun was rising. Mustafa used to see this scene almost every day, but today he was seeing the scene of the sunrise as a sign of Allah. .

Noah said: God’s refuge from Satan

In the name of Allah, the Merciful

Then read the first verse “Qal Awz Barb Al-Falaq”.

“Say, O Messenger of Allah, that I seek protection from Allah, who is the Lord of this Falaq.” Mustafa knows that Allah is the Lord of everything, but why did he reveal Falaq here? Mustafa said no and shook his head. .

Let me tell you an interesting thing with it. In the Arabic language, alphabets also have meanings, which we call letters, such as A, B, F, etc.; Whereas English alphabets ie A, B, C have no meaning.

However, when we combine the English alphabets, ABC becomes a word and when we speak that word, we understand it. It is understood. That is, to burst or to tear inside “F” means that something bursts out, just like Falaq is the time in which the morning illuminates the darkness of the night with the sun and the darkness flees away.

From this, Allah Almighty explained to us that whatever worry, sorrow and fear you have in your life is also a kind of darkness, then you do not understand anything, what to do? And what not to do? There is so much despair that we are not able to think about anything, then Allah is saying to the human beings that, O my servants, do not be afraid of the darkness of your life. Lord means like Allah can bring the sky out of darkness and illuminate it

That is how He can end every sorrow,  worry and trouble in my life and give me hope, comfort and success.

Mustafa said: Oh….I understand, that is, Allah Almighty reminds us by showing us this bright morning that the darkness, i.e. all the troublesome things, does not last forever. Fills our life with light, hope and good luck.

Noah said: Yes, of course, you are very wise!

Noah smiled and encouraged Mustafa.

So now, whenever you are afraid of something, you will not be afraid, nor will you be disappointed, because after every darkness there is a bright morning, tomorrow is not necessarily the same as we are today, so look forward to the next morning with full hope. Get started.

Then read the next Aayah

“Man Sharr Ma Khalq”

“And we seek Allah’s protection from the evil of all that He has created.”

 

That is, whatever creation Allah created, man, moon, sun, flower, everything has good in it and along with it there is some evil, that is, they can harm us.

Mustafa’s mind convert  to his friend Hasher, who was encouraging him towards this wrong thing i.e. cheatting.

Noah said: So when we seek the protection of Allah to save us from the evil of His creation, He saves us, we do not need to adopt evil.

In the name of evil, that chatter came to Mustafa’s mind, that is, if he sought Allah’s protection, Allah would not give him the chance to chatter, but would remind him of everything beforehand and Will save.

Noah recited the next verse.

“And I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the night when it covers it.”

There is no evil in the night itself, but man does most of the evil things at night, like thieves come in darkness at night and vermin also come out at night.

 

Then read the next verse.

“And I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of those who blow on knots”

That is, we take the protection of Allah to protect us from all evil at night. Night does not mean that a person does not do evil during the day, but there is more opportunity at night to think bad about someone and also from those who blow. Means the evil of magic. That is, no one should cast a spell on us, so we already come into Allah’s protection.

Then finally.

“And I seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the envious when he envies.”

Do you know, Mustafa, what is jealousy?

Mustafa shook his head in the negative.

Noah said: Jealousy is when someone has a good thing or his marks are good or his friends are more and you don’t have all this now your heart also wants to have it all but When you don’t get it, you wish in your heart that he has it

That good thing falls or ends or his marks are not good and his friends leave him.

When these things come to your heart, you hurt others with your words. Obviously, they cannot take that thing from you, that’s why you hurt them by showing them the wrong side or making fun of them. degrades him so that he becomes sad or miserable and cannot benefit from this blessing.

The words of classmates echoed in Mustafa’s mind. This time it will top from the bottom and will pass with a D grade because this time again everyone will forget looking at the teacher and the paper, hahaha

Mustafa recited Surah Al-Falaq carefully and received guidance from Allah Almighty. After reading Surah Al-Naas in the second rakat, Mustafa was hopeful and knew that Allah’s help was with him. He prayed and went to class.

Coming to the class, he wrote something on the paper, folded it in his hand and went to Hasher where all the children were sitting in their places for the paper. Hasher was sitting behind Mustafa.

Mustafa called: Hasher!

And at the same time he opened his arms in a hug and said, “Hasher, I will not leave you alone!”

Hasher smiled in a confused manner when he saw what happened to him. Then he hugged his friend and replied, I will also not leave my friend!

During the hug, Mustafa took out a white paper from the pocket of Hasher’s pants and replaced it with another. Then the class teacher came. Mustafa quickly went to the basket and dropped something in it and everyone sat on their seats, all the children got paper, everyone started doing their paper. The timing of the paper was one hour and by now half an hour had passed.

There were two questions that Hasher could not answer because he had not memorized those lessons. He wrote the answer to one of them on the cheating paper. He saw the teacher sitting on her chair and all the children were paying attention on doing paper.

This is the chance! Hasher said to himself, took out a cheating paper from his pocket. He was doing cheatting for the first time because he was advised by his cricket team mates.  …what it!  Something else was written on it! He turned around and was surprised to see that it wasn’t that cheating paper!

The whole page was blank, only two lines were written, which were these.

an arabic dua was written on it.

He narrowed his eyes and read carefully, not understanding anything, then he read the line written below

O my Lord increase my knowledge!

As soon as he read this line,  his eyebrows compressed, he immediately straightened up and the scene of half an hour ago in his mind, in which Mustafa was hugging Hasher and smiling and saying to him, I will not leave you alone!

He used to repeat this often when one of them was doing something wrong so that they could stop each other from doing something wrong and go to heaven together and have fun together.

At once Hasher got angry and said in a whisper:

Mustafa ! Mustafa !

Mustafa, who was writing the paper with full attention, turned his neck a little when he heard the sound and looked back where Hasher was sitting with the fire burning and a white paper in his hand.  He  stopped his laughing by compressing his lips and immediately faced forward.

Hasher again whisper: I will ask you later! He sat back and couldn’t do anything. He gave a light kick to the leg of Mustafa’s chair, but Mustafa didn’t dare to look back because he saw the other teacher sitting behind him coming to him.

Suddenly, the teacher licked Hasher’s hand from which he had closed it. When the teacher caught him, the colors of Hasher’s face faded away. He did not think that what would happen if he was caught chatting.

The teacher asked Hasher, what is this?

Hasher said: T. Teacher, this is cheat… Means its dua ! Hasher said sullenly, and looked around, some children were watching Hasher and the teacher while others were doing their papers. The teaher opened the sheet and saw that there was actually a prayer written on it.

The teacher read the paper and gave it back to Hasher and said: dear hasher, you should recites the prayer before the paper and does not bring it after writing it. Don’t do that again, okay!

Hasher smiled and said yes, teacher, I will take care in the future.

The teacher handed back the paper and moved on.

Hasher breathed out! Ahh….. And asked for forgiveness from Allah that He saved him from being dishonored and at the same time thanked.

Mustafa smiled and looked back, Hasher also started to smile a little bit shy. All the children started leaving the class when they had done the paper , instead of chatting, he let it stay and gave it to the teacher and came out

Hasher looked at Mustafa and said: Jazak Allah Mustafa!

Mustafa said mischievously: What did you say? Can’t hear! Speak louder! Hasher came close to Mustafa’s ears and said loudly: Jazak Allah Mustafa!

To stop chatting!

 

! Heard now?

Hasher started asking.

Mustafa replied: Yes, yes, now it is heard!

Hasher said: I had said something else!

Mustafa looked confused and said: What else did you say? He didn’t really remember.

Hasher said: I said, I will ask you later and what did you say? You will not leave me!

Hasher reminded him.

Mustafa shook his head saying yes.

Then Hasher picked up his bags and said, I will not leave you now, Mustafa!

Seeing Mustafa Hasher’s intentions of fighting and picking up books to beating, he ran away laughing and said, “First catch, then let go!”

Hasher said: Where did you go?  Hold on, I’ll catch you!

The holiday bell rang and both of them started running behind each other while laughing.

So,

we learned that our life is like a falaq, every day brings hope, we should ask God for help and give your best! Do not despair!

And it should be remembered from “Waman Shari ma Khalq”, that when your best friend or someone older gives you advice that you know it is wrong, then you should not listen to them, but you should also try to correct them, such as Mustafa did, they should not be misunderstood because there is good and evil in every creation of Allah.

Learned from Hasid aza Hasad that when you see someone’s blessing and your heart desires to get it, then ask Allah and when you see his blessing, say, Masha Allah, Barak Allah, and remember that if Allah has given him a blessing, you He will surely have been given what he will not have, so think about your blessings and thank Allah and remember the Mu’awiztin verbally and recite it three times in the morning and evening. Will be safe from bad attacks!

God willing!
