Love is blind, they say. But for Burhan Napitupulu, for love, life becomes a choice. Because the love of all, his old confidence was shaken up his love for Islam to defeat everything. God Is not this scenario also?
Since birth, I've given a name by my parents with the name of Islam: Burhan. I was there behind the name surname: Napitu-Pulu. Ordinary people greeted me with a call Burhan. Although my Christian religion, I have never been baptized by a priest. "
Once a man born in Medan, August 2, 1956, start a conversation. In North Tapanuli, where she grew up, the majority of Christian religious communities. Since childhood, Burhan was raised in the traditions and customs environment Batak strong. Therefore, he must obey the customs of the local community.
Although the father-mother Christians "(Protestant) who disobeyed, Burhan rarely go to church. Like any other young child, he preferred to hang out with his friends in the street rather than go to church. Burhan himself confessed, he is not a devout Christian believers. "Since my youth I had been a cowboy. That means less guidance in terms of religion. I cooked it in oversea, "she said, sucking deeply on his cigarette.
Adolescence, Burhan was determined migrate to big cities such as Surabaya, Jakarta, Ujung Pandang. During overseas, he finds a beautiful girl named Any origin in South Sulawesi, which has become his wife.
Why is he interested in and love the opposite sex who is clearly different beliefs? "Since the beginning, I was not so interested in my own religion. In Islam, I find it easy to get married. In contrast, if I had to follow my tradition, too many terms. Even his origins to be seen. Strictly speaking, the Islamic simple, easy, straightforward, and no doubt in it, "said Burhan Bataknya a thick accent.
Since courtship, Burhan have learned, her lover was a Mus-limah. His parents, also a devout Muslim. Although in terms of different creed, they are equally loved and loved her. "Other similarities, we are also equally difficult people. Imagine, until we have four children, home is still ngontrak. Know yourself, the fate of the rent, if you've signed on 20, definitely confused. Because the money from the work already thinning, too much needs. But, God is Oft-Adil, I have always given kucukupan to meet family living. Alhamdulillah. "
During courtship, Burhan had been making choices when she must marry a different girl akidahnya. Love the push he made up his mind to choose Islam. In front of princes and witnessed by each family, said Burhan creed. He officially became husband not only legitimate, but also officially became a Muslim.
Once knowing his son had become a Muslim, Burhan parents accept with open arms. His father simply said, "It's up to you personally. I can not represent you, and you also can not represent me."
"Love is what prompted me to Islam. At that time, I did not love Islam, but because I want to marry women. To be sure, although I've become a Muslim, I have not the heart of Islam. Even though my ID card to Islam, I never prayed five menjaiankan when it's time. Never mind the prayers, the mosque was almost never. "As a father, I'm rarely at home, because it is often out of town. Plus, with the environment where I work, where I often relate to Chinese people "he said, shaking his head.
Hidayah Allah
In their daily living life to settle down, at one time Burhan watched the children and his wife were praying. "Back then, I see my children pray, while not my own. Eventually, I think, going where this really my life. What's really what I was looking for. Would not the world there is no eternal happiness. All would be there eventually. Since then, I like getting guidance. I was thinking, what is the use of property, if not make this heart be quiet. "
From the contemplation of it, he started to move to study Islam, precisely 2000 years ago new, since he lives in Pasir Jambu, Kampung Lima, Bogor Regency. In this village, Burhan feel the environment and a strong Islamic community. They are not only friendly, harmonious, but also led to a change. He began running five daily prayers. Year 2003 Burhan also went on Hajj.
Seeing the change, she was deeply moved, so did their children. "For sure, I do not errands. Prayers that I do this is because of my own consciousness. Anyway, I'm not the type of person who likes pushed. Pure, I pray because my heart calls. Nothing else. What I feel , the more I perpetuates prayer, my mind felt more calm, more serene. I realize that prayer is no longer a duty to abort, but a human need as a servant of God. With prayer, I am more grateful. Since God is always easy way out and adds sustenance to our family. "
Burhan not consider prayer a waste of time. Prayers only made himself into a discipline. Prayers to make him more loving family. "Currently, if I do not pray, it feels like something's missing. In fact, I like having the debt only. Because of that, as busy as anything, I need to keep the prayer. Because for me, prayer is a pleasure in itself. There is a kind of consciousness, not world merely sought, but the provision to the Hereafter must also be sought. "
Ten days before the fast of Ra-madhan, Burhan invited local residents to attend a meeting of the mosque construction. Not the blue, all citizens appointed him as chairman of the mosque development committee, he spontaneously expressed his readiness. In fact, he felt less in terms of religion, even need counseling. "Equipped with high spirit, I raised funds amounting to Rp. 10 million within a week. Since then I do the more trusted by society, so I was appointed as Chairman Babussalam Mosque, Pasir Jambu, Bogor," he said.
Fruit wander
Burhan's success did not make it wander over the haughty and arrogant. He was even more grateful. The father of six children was aware that his past is a difficult period. To change his life, he worked just about anything. The important thing is halal, so prisipnya.
"The first time you wander, I worked as a handyman. Starting from builders pelvis, broker or sell the engine factory, until the self-employed. I was often moved around the workplace. Lastly, I am working in a slipper factory Swallow, and retread tires."
Burhan's determination to advance, he did not fear life miserable for oversea. layakin God sees it. The principle of his life, always do good to others. That's why he was successful. Three years ago, for example, he raised a new foster children aged 5 days.
"One night, there was a ngetok-ngetok door of my house. A grandmother handed the baby to me. He admitted that he did not have the cost of maintaining them. I do not know where it is coming the old woman. To be sure, he does not want his daughter's murder as news in the media , because of abortion, "Burhan story.
"Since I learned to be grateful, God add blessings to me, I feel the blessings of life. If I had ngontrak, now I have 40 rented door. Enjoyment, I believe, not because I am smart or I just sweat, but all thanks to the grace of God. I'm sure it was correct. Right now I even worry, the more rented house, I'm so afraid do not withstand the temptation. Then see my friends, the more progress they increasingly messy life. I just hope I do not Kufr delicious. "
Now, Burhan active as a board Pondok Pesantren Al-Kariman, Bogor. Many of the things he did to raise the awareness of people to set aside part of their sustenance in order to maintain the religion of Allah. According to Burhan, Muslims are actually rich. "Because the religion of Islam teaches that every Muslim who has a fortune out of zakat amounted to 2.5%. Now, if every person who has a fortune out provision amounted to Rp. 10 thousand only, this has become a huge asset. Unfortunately these assets difficult to realize, due to a lack of awareness of the problem. "
Today, already 24 years old Burhan bebahagia living with his wife and beloved children. For the Batak, he denied the presumption that the Batak if it fails will not return to his hometown. The truth, he says, is when it succeeded, would go home to his village. "It's just that, since I wander 12 years ago, only once I return home.
