In one town near a beach and crowded with people there is lived an orphan girl.
Her name is Gadis (Indonesian Language with mean a calling for a young girl). Her parents was died since
she was small. Since then, she lived with her aunt. Unfortunately her aunt was very poor
and had a bad temper. She always was being cruel to Gadis.
Gadis is a diligent girl, she always doing her job well. One of her job is getting water
from a well. In beach area, it is no easy to get pure water. The location of the well is very
far from her home. When she was going to get water Gadis always come by to sit
under a big tree with dense leaf. In this time she can rest for a while and hindered from
the hard sun light.
Sometimes, Gadis cried under that tree if she felt alone in this world. She doesn't know
to whom she can tell her sadness. Between her cried she always pray to the God asking
for His protection and guardian. Strangely, each time she cried the tree always spread
out her branch. The leafs wave slowly and make a beautiful sound as seem the tree was
singing. The sound made Gadis happy and amazed. The rhythm of this song
cheer up her sorrow and make her forgetting all her sadness. The song became a
lullaby. The little girl slept under the tree and the big tree lowering its branch so the
sun light could not harm her body. When she slept too long, the tree wake her up by
falling one leaf to her cheek.
Day by the day over, There was big news that the King wanted to make a new royal ship.
Many old tree being cut off, the wood is used to make that new ship. Gadis is worried,
she remember to her big old tree. She wonders is the tree has cut off too.
At the day, after she gets water, she runs to her tree. She found there was a
white cross sign at the tree which mean her lovely tree will be cut too. Gadis was so
sad, she can not say any single word. Her tear has dropped, she hugs the tree tightly.
"My beloved three, perhaps this is the last day we've ever meet. Tomorrow they will cut you
and I will loose you forever. What's making sad that I could not do anything to stop it.
God bye my beloved three", cried her
The tree is lowering its branch, it seems he want to hug that little girl too. The leafs swap her
tear softly and suddenly there was a sound. "Please don't be sad, my child. The royal
ship will not sail without your wish. You must come aboard and together with me we
will sail together ,"
At the morning the big tree was cut. After some month later the ship has done. The King
was very happy and make a big celebration. The biggest party was made for the first
time to celebrate it. However when they want to launch the ship to the water, the ship could
not move. Many people try to push the ship to the water but still the ship could not move.
The King became upset and angry.
The news about the royal ship which could not move came to Gadis ear. She remember to the
last message from her big tree. She tried hard to go to the harbor and finally she
met the King. She asked his permission to sail the ship. The King was not belief because many effort has done to make the ship move but finally
when the ship was still could not move he decided to allow her. Gadis came to the ship, with her
love she swept the steer.
"My tree please help me. Move and sail! All people want to see you sailing to the
ocean". Every people saw and waited what was going happen. The ship moved one inch to one inch and go to the ocean slowly. People who saw it yelling happily. And the man who was very happy was the King himself. He asked , "How could you make this ship sail?" "By the God bless, Your Honest. The ship was made from wood of my friend, the old big tree", answered Gadis politely. Gadis told King all her life. The heart of King was touched, because he did not have a child he

pesona muslimah sebagai seorang ibu
Suatu ketika, ada seorang anak laki-laki yang bertanya kepada ibunya. “Ibu, mengapa Ibu menangis?”. Ibunya menjawab, “Sebab, Ibu adalah seorang wanita, Nak”. “Aku tak mengerti” kata si anak lagi. Ibunya hanya tersenyum dan memeluknya erat. “Nak, kamu memang tak akan pernah mengerti….” Kemudian, anak itu bertanya pada ayahnya. “Ayah, mengapa Ibu menangis? Sepertinya Ibu menangis tanpa ada sebab yang jelas?” Sang ayah menjawab, “Semua wanita memang menangis tanpa ada alasan”. Hanya itu jawaban yang bisa diberikan ayahnya.
Lama kemudian, si anak tumbuh menjadi remaja dan tetap bertanya-tanya, mengapa wanita menangis. Pada suatu malam, ia bermimpi dan bertanya kepada Tuhan. “Ya Allah, mengapa wanita mudah sekali menangis?” Dalam mimpinya, Tuhan menjawab, “Saat Kuciptakan wanita, Aku membuatnya menjadi sangat utama. Kuciptakan bahunya, agar mampu menahan seluruh beban dunia dan isinya, walaupun juga, bahu itu harus cukup nyaman dan lembut untuk menahan kepala bayi yang sedang tertidur. Kuberikan wanita kekuatan untuk dapat melahirkan, dan mengeluarkan bayi dari rahimnya, walau, seringkali pula, ia kerap berulangkali menerima cerca dari anaknya itu. Kuberikan keperkasaan, yang akan membuatnya tetap bertahan, pantang menyerah, saat semua orang sudah putus asa. Pada wanita, Kuberikan kesabaran, untuk merawat keluarganya, walau letih, walau sakit, walau lelah, tanpa berkeluh kesah. Kuberikan wanita, perasaan peka dan kasih sayang, untuk mencintai semua anaknya, dalam kondisi apapun, dan dalam situasi apapun. Walau, tak jarang anak-anaknya itu melukai perasaannya, melukai hatinya. Perasaan ini pula yang akan memberikan kehangatan pada bayi-bayi yang terkantuk menahan lelap. Sentuhan inilah yang akan memberikan kenyamanan saat didekap dengan lembut olehnya.
Kuberikan wanita kekuatan untuk membimbing suaminya, melalui masa-masa sulit, dan menjadi pelindung baginya. Sebab, bukankah tulang rusuklah yang melindungi setiap hati dan jantung agar tak terkoyak? Kuberikan kepadanya kebijaksanaan, dan kemampuan untuk memberikan pengertian dan menyadarkan, bahwa suami yang baik adalah yang tak pernah melukai istrinya. Walau, seringkali pula, kebijaksanaan itu akan menguji setiap kesetiaan yang diberikan kepada suami, agar tetap berdiri, sejajar, saling melengkapi, dan saling menyayangi. Dan, akhirnya, Kuberikan ia air mata agar dapat mencurahkan perasaannya. Inilah yang khusus Kuberikan kepada wanita, agar dapat digunakan kapanpun ia inginkan. Hanya inilah kelemahan yang dimiliki wanita, walaupun sebenarnya, air mata ini adalah air mata kehidupan”. Maka, dekatkanlah diri kita pada sang Ibu jika beliau masih hidup, karena di kakinyalah kita menemukan surga.
Itulah pesona pribadi yang lahir dari seorang Ibu/wanita yang tulus, tak pernah lekang oleh waktu, tak pernah lekang oleh usia, sekalipun usia makin lapuk, jika pesona kepribadian itu sudah melekat dalam dirinya, pesona bathiniyah itu akan terus memancar lewat seraut wajah yang tampak, lewat tindakan, ucapan, tindakan juga perbuatan seorang muslimah.
wallahu’alam
