Elegi Ritual Ikhlas I: Informasi awal 

By Prof. Marsigit

Reflected by Diah Hapsari Widyarini

There are two students (Cantraka Ikhlas and Cantraka Sakti) who want to learn new knowledge gained by their teacher (Muhammad Nurikhlas). The teacher offers them to follow the Ikhlas Ritual because there all the believers will be facilitated to show his sincerity by way of worship sincere they may and as much as possible. From the conversations above, we knew that Cantraka Sakti is arrogant, its seen from his words after Muhammad Nurikhlas explained about requisites and preparations followed Ikhlas Ritual, “Knowing that I had just graduate master’s degree from overseas university. I got a lot of science and experience  in there. What experience is there and I have experienced it all and it is universal and international. If only to address local interests such as the following Ikhlas Ritual I think not how.” As with the Cantraka Ikhlas that says, “I do not have any feeling, any science, any property to prepare for the upcoming Ikhlas Ritual. I just feel that it has the intention and determination while my heart for mercy and protection to Allah SWT and I hope I was given the strength to follow the Ikhlas Ritual. I just feel it has body and soul.”

Many things we can take from the conversation above, studying will never lead, all of which require the process. Moreover, it is inappropriate even if we boast as high as we have any knowledge. I think it's useless people who have high knowledge but do not have the candor. I like Muhammad Nurikhlas’ statement, “Looking for science with science. Looking for guidance with guidance. Reaching grace to grace. So sincere was reached with sincerity.”
