“Truly lucky are those who believe. Those are the people who are solemn in his prayer” (QS. Al-Mukminun 1-2)
“They are the ones who will inherit. He will inherit Paradise. They remain in it” (QS. Al Mukminun 11-12)

The perfect sun sank with its invisible rays again. Dark skies. Evening pick-up. The city is lit by street lights.
And here, Alexa sits under the flickering lights. Night Club became the most comfortable place for him to forget the problems that had been suffering for so many years, not infrequently he cried all night just to remember his mother, and this time he chose the club as a place to winnow, and this time he chose the club as a place to winnow, as it already is. The sound of music mingling with the sound of laughter from men and women makes the atmosphere more crowded. The smell of cigarettes and drinks filled the room.
Alexa's gaze circled the room, staring at the lovers who were fondling each other. Look at the men who drank. Look at a group of teenagers who jiggle. It seems they all have no burdens.
Alexa rubbed the hair that covered half of her face backwards in frustration. Watering eyes. He remembered his mother. And she also remembered her remarried papa and now even looks royal to her new mama. He wanted to cry, but was held back as best he could. This time he was without Azlan, the man chose to wait in the car alone. He had reminded Alexa not to go to the club again, but the nonanya was wayward.
“You drink?” ask an unknown man and give Alexa a bottle of water.
Alexa shakes.
The man must have understood what Alexa was feeling just by looking at the look on Alexa's face at that time.
“This is a quick solution forget about the problem,” bargain the man again.
Alexa grabbed the bottle and gulped it down shortly after it was poured into the glass. This is not the first time he knows alcohol after his High School friends used to secretly invite him to run away from home to just taste the fun of the night world at the discotheque.
“Nona, I can stay a while, right?” Tanya Azlan who intends to go to the mosque to perform Islamic prayers.
“What?” alexa's exclamation is less clear when hearing Azlan's voice. The music around him sounded extremely loud and blocked Azlan's voice.
“I stay a while, miss.” Azlan repeated his sentence in a rather loud voice.
“I'm not denger.”
It seems free Azlan repeated his sentence, Alexa will only hear the sound of music.
Azlan disconnected his phone and sent a message to Alexa.he said he would leave Alexa for a moment. And Alexa replies to a short message by allowing it.
Azlan drove the car out of the club area. It didn't take long for the car he was riding in to reach his destination. Azlan immediately entered the mosque. Adzan's voice still reverberated to calm his heart.
Azlan hastened the steps towards ablution. Iqamat had just finished being proclaimed when Azlan entered the Al-Ikhlas mosque. A beautiful mosque full of memories. It was there where Azlan often poured his joys and sorrows during his life in the capital by making prostration. It is there that the place pits to the Supreme Provider when the money is in trouble.
Alhamdulillahot. It feels calm when you are in a place of worship. There are only nine people lined up neatly in the worship shaf.
Azlan put the phone on the side of the wall near his feet to stand so as not to interfere when he prayed, the object was also in a silent position.
