A Moshola : A Life Story From Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia

21:17:00

Dear my friends, readers where ever you are. Today is Sunday, day for I take a rest and take holiday after a week busy with endless works. Right now is 07.30 AM. I just took breakfast and took a bath. My hair is still wet and now I am still wearing a towel for my lower body.

Now I am hearing a sound very hard from a load speaker, which come from a Moshola behind my house. Someone, from the moshola, who is usually Pak RT (the elder of my neighbourhood) is announcing to the people around, “the whole neighbourhood is supposed to work collectively to progress the moshola’ works.

You should know my friend. We, I and the people around in my neighborhood just have a new moshola (the place for us, Islamic people to do pray 5 times every day. Usually people know we pray in the mosque, but it is a moshola. It is smaller than mosque). We built that moshola together. We spent some money from our own pocket, we collected the money to buy the material and to pay the professional workers’ weekly payment, together, in every Sunday morning. For whom do not have some money to contribute, it is not compulsory. They may help by working, spend their time and power to work collectively among the people in the moshola.

Building a moshola is a kind of holy work. We are Islam supposed to do that work. We believe taht Allah will give us a special reward when we do that job. The people who have alot, or very much, and uncountable reward (pahala) must be placed in the heaven, later on, in the next life by Allah, and then Allah also will refill again their capital, their that already expended by the new one.

So now, people who are rich, or other who feel capability to spend alot of money race to build that moshola, and expect they will get reward from Allah, and they wish to enter the heaven in the next life time, and they wish to Allah that the god may pour them the new and more treasure. 

Now our moshola is in the mid way to accomplish. We are still in progress running to build that holy house (House of God), Althought there is still no sanitation and toilet we have already operated the moshola to pray in together 5 time every day. We take ablution in every each our house before going to the moshola, at that time azan called us a loud for praying together.

Day by day, the Jamaah (worshipers) are going to increase the number. Usually for men part there has two lines and also two line in women part. Today those lines are not enough to cover the people, so now the moshola need an additional area out side, like veranda or terrace. We are all happy knowing our moshola has alot jama’ah. That is good.

Now it is the very good progress we have. At the first time we started pray in the moshola we had two Imam prayer who are in turn one after one lead the jama’ah pray. So now, after almost 1 year we ran, the moshola already has 6 Imam prayer. More people look like enthusiastic and religiously to do their belief. 

Usually after we have done one pray, such as night pray Magrib or Isha, men are assembly in, they talk and chat among them. The Imam lead the dialogue among them. There are two kind of topic that they usually discuss in the moshola after praying. Fist, they discuss about the nowadays running project and the next planning project for moshola building. The second, it’s that I comment not good to tell anyone. But it has to be told in this composition. Imam and other men most often talk about men or their neighbor who do not participate in the project.

This is not a very good idea to talk about people behind their back. You, My friend, where ever you are. You must know that to build a building now a days need a very big cost. People who are rich may be easy to spend a lot of cost from their pocket to build a moshola, or any religious building, and then they will get a reward from the God, for the scarifies. 

In other hand, how about the poor, will they get a punishment from get God when they do not give sacrifies their very little treasure, that almost nothing, for the society? Which one is most important do you think, God or food? I don’t know, and I could not answer my own question.
