A Story From the village veil

In 2000 I had a new neighbor. He's open style, I mean in terms of dress. Dikenankannya knee-high pants, and his shirt was "Can you see". Orangya are white and slender. When he entered keperkampungan hijab, she felt herself very scarce. Call aja name Anne (a pseudonym).

"Now you're covered. If I may know what caused it? "I casually asked Anne after both returned from studying the Koran.

"Khan you know, once auratku open. But when I form the citizens of this ward, I like myself feel inferior. "He smiles as he mensejajari fee that is fast pace. Time indicates hours of 6 pm, I had to get home before sunset arrived.

Anne was diligent in following the routine assessment in the village. When we learn to improve tajwid ngaji us, so he did not want to miss. Subhanallah! From a woman who did not understand Islam was finally serious about improving themselves.

Anne was lucky, because it can reach the guidance of Allah SWT Conversely, there was a woman, who has joined several years on a routine assessment, but it still not able to cover the private parts in full. When positioned on the front porch of his house, scarf forgotten.

Factors affecting Anne's friend, but not with others. There are some residents in the villages untouched by the hijab as guidance. They only cover the private parts when attending informal gatherings or invitation. Other than that? Of course, like most women in clothes.

When I got home from attending Ta'lim in the daytime, I saw Asni (a pseudonym) was sitting on her front porch. It came to mind: "Why are women istiqomah this one yet." I can only pray, hope that routine assessment fixed follow him lakoni. That's all I can do.

Asni is slowly but surely, began to abandon the veil. Friendship to begin his immediate neighbors do without jilbab.Hasilnya? She resigned from the world of assessment with a lot of excuses. Allaah knows best, if God did not give instructions to someone, then we were not able to change it. So even though we wanted.

Remembered about the discourse of a religious teacher: "This step is a little devil, but surely. This means that humans began to tempt him from the most mild. Until human beings in the teased do not feel have done an kemungkaran. Slowly but surely, indicate what the devil is iqtiqomah effort until the goal accomplished ".

The same two women lived in the village of "hijab", it was not the same in response to their environment. I remembered the texts of Imam Al-Gazali in his book Ihya Ulumuddin that: "The human heart is like a mirror. Hidayah Allah S.W.T in light suppose. So, if the mirror is dirty, Hence any bright light will not be able to penetrate the mirror. "

Hidayah Apparently God always shines over the period, but needed to find a state we must have. As was in supposing by Imam Al-Gazali, our hearts must be clean as a mirror that has been cleaned. Indeed necessary to achieve that, a strong will and consciousness.
Because we know that this heart will always be dirty, especially in these days which is a versatile time allowed. Each person can express himself in a dress. We can also see on the television should be forbidden, to appear in this Muslim-majority country.

So true, if Allah SWT has said: "Really lucky people who cleanse the soul." I forgot the verses but these words made me realize, and give a meaning to myself, that this heart needs a continuous cleaning, so that God's guidance our easy handheld. Amen.
