juz amma

can you see the picture? yes, it is picture of juz amma, a call for 30th juz of the Holy Quran. it is mine.

so, one day, when i spent my time at UKSI with my friends, i’ve got a KMMS bulletin (KMMS is an organization that focused of islamic activity around civil engineering students). inside the bulletin, there was a corssword and anyone who can fill this out perfectly, will get a prize.

and then, we fill out together and i sent the answers by email. and i get the prize. that is the prize. a little book of juz amma.

when yuma gave me this, i’m just thinking.

that little book reminds me to my childhood time. uhm, when i was in elementary school, i used to go to the mosque near my house every day to attend TPA (taman pendidikan al-quran). i learned how to read Quran there, from the beginning. from 1st iqra to 6th iqra, and then i moved to Al-Quran.

i am not only learn about how to read, but also about how to keep those juz amma’s surah in memories. i used to know some surah very well. can read those without see the book. huaaa, i miss those days.

i quit from TPA because of my activity in junior high school. i don’t mind, because i think it is just enough to know how to read those Arab alphabhet and it really help me through Al-Quran reading test.

hhhm, that’s not enough for real.

it has been a long time i didn’t read the Holy Quran or Tadarus. I forgot about those tajwid things. i forgot how to recognized what alphabet it is when it transfromed to another form. i forgot what should i do when i met those waqaf sign. and i lost my memories about those surahs. how embrassing it is, huh?

that little juz amma reminds me, how calm i am when i read Al-Quran. eventhough i didn’t know what the meaning, i just feel so relieved. and i comeback to read it after a long time recently, and those feeling never leaving me…

so now, i try to get myself used to that habit and become an orange. like this hadist said…

“orang mukmin yang membaca al quran itu seperti jeruk, yang wanginya enk dan rasanya manis”

(not based on the real hadits, i’ll get it for you next time, huehheheh)
