This fact is told Doctor Sholeh High school teacher at an Islamic Arabia, while assigned to the UK. There was an old woman washing clothes ordinary English students including their underwear.
No side pull on these women, elderly, low-level clerks and live alone. Whenever we meet he always carries a large-sized plastic bags filled with dirty clothes. For rough work like this nursing home residents is fairly nimble in age is somewhat old. In the UK, people who have elderly family members usually tend to incorporate them into a nursing home. And of course this sad situation to be accepted by most of the parents with great care not to burden their children. But in the midst of such conditions do not seem to make little hearts of our leaders that it is so keen to fill his days wrestling with dirty laundry.
The middle aged woman prefers to be called auntie or aunts. He has worked as a laundry attendant almost half his age. Lucky for him there are agencies that are willing to employ the elderly.
"I feel appreciated even elderly. After all, people like me had no care of, if not yourself. My children are married and live with their families. My husband is dead. Although children love to visit, but I still want to have their own activities to fill in old age, "he said
"Not for heavy work indeed, but at least, in addition to increasing income also fill the old days. Maybe it's better than having to stay put in a nursing home. "She said again with a sad face.
"Sad too that should live alone. As a friend of mine. He also used to work as a laundry attendant with me. Until the end, the only daughter married. But after marriage, her daughter was never contacted, "aunt tells.
For the Aunt profession as a laundry attendant actually make it closer to lunge, the vagaries of boarders on average are students from outside the UK. The Aunt well aware of the habits of students who stay in this hostel apart learn everyday, is to go clubbing just "having fun". Many hostel has a bar, café, lounge to watch television, music rooms and sports facilities themselves.
And one of the negative side of the association with the British was when they were close bottles of alcohol, you know they got really drunk. And can imagine the chaos. Vomiting evenly in any place, pee in pants and so on. This is the most foolish act ever committed by man since the creation of alcoholic beverages. Not only eliminates common sense, but also the drunkard will feel fatigue and headache are very, very (hangover).
When the boarder still lulled dream exhausted exhaustion clubbing all night long. Stay the aunt picked up the dirty clothes every day. And sometimes have to be transported from the room, long before they wake up from sleep. Then sorted carefully one by one based on the type of material, size, color and more specific separation from other lingerie. Once the routine work was done with full dedication even at the end of the age of aging.
Time goes by, while her aunt without despair continue to wrestle with the 'world kotor'nya. Ideally, at the end of the age of the supposed time for someone to reap the results of weariness in youth work. However situasilah which causes him to have to bear the problems of life, then indeed it is an unhappy old age. In a state that could not do much, he actually expected to be much to do. In the conditions he faced a declining productivity for high production.
Who knows how long he had to carry out the job. Then came a moment dorm arrival of new residents that some Muslim students from the Middle East who have the task of learning from his country. Those already registered will occupy one of the rooms in the dormitory where the aunt worked.
For most students the middle east is very rare to live in a dorm. They usually buy houses or flats that have been adapted to accommodate small groups of students, couples or families. There are also several places individual owners allow their homes are managed and leased.
Living in a dorm is a great way to meet new people and establish lasting friendships. This is one of the reasons they chose to live in a dorm. This awareness dismissed fears of a clash of cultures, or "cultural shock".
Life in the Muslim community is precisely our non required to prove the Islamic values are high this as a solution to humans. Surely this is a work of propaganda that is the responsibility of every Muslim wherever located. While maintaining the privileges that we as Muslim piety.
The days went by, it seems Bibi is really attention to what is washed. To the extent that he knows this outfit A, is the B and so on. No exception with dirty clothes belonging to students from the Middle East earlier. But when done sorting underwear, Bibi felt something unusual, because of all the clothes washed, only the Arab Muslim clothing that looks not only dirty, no smell, no seedy and not a lot of stains on clothes.
This rare occurrence even encourage curiosity Bibi. Again wash clothes in this hostel always feel weird when washing their underwear. Unlike the others, both in their clothes always smell.
Then still in a state of curiosity, Bibi decides to ask questions directly to the owners 'panties' it. When asked why. Two men replied, "We always istinjaa whenever pee." The clothes Washer asked again, "Is it taught in religion?"
"Yes!" Replied last two Muslim students.
Not sure, at 100 percent with that answer, finally Bibi came to see one of the characters that Doctor Sholeh- Muslim teacher at a High school Islam in Arabia, when assigned to the Anglo-old woman tells his amazement while on duty about their clothes in the 'odd '.
There are some underwear that does not smell like most students generally, what is? The chaplain then tell because the owner is Muslim, our religion teaches purification after each urination and defecation, not as they are not a concern in this kind of problem.
How old mother impressed if for any small thing Islam noticed how much more for a big thing, think washing clothes. And not long after he took his creed, embraced Islam through underwear!
Not unexpectedly turns secretly embraced Islam the washerwoman, stirred the students who live in the dorms, most of whom are non-Muslims. They tried curious causal Bibi embraced Islam. He replied with confidence that he was impressed with the Arab Muslim friends, because of all the clothes washed, only the clothes alone does not seem all sorts. And with the guidance of Allah, he was able to distinguish between the clothes a Muslim and non-Muslim.
Guidance it can come anytime and to anyone. During this time we may more often be heard to be hidayahnya a non-Muslim to Islam was due to the extraordinary things and important. But that is really unusual. Received guidance at the end of the age because of underwear! It destiny God has really fallen coincidentally with perseverance during this fill the days in the rest of his life as a laundry attendant. Herein lies the great secret of God's favor that brings between takdirNya and human endeavor. Indeed Allah is never wasted a servant charity.
