WIP Wednesday: CORRADO #CorradoAlessioGinevra

Hey, loves.

You get a peek at CORRADO today.

Do enjoy.

**

Ginevra lifted her stare to find he was staring at her again, his hand holding the phone hovering overtop the charger like he forgot what he was supposed to be doing again. She didn’t know how long the two of them stared at one another like that—a few seconds, or more, but it could have been longer, too.
It felt like forever.
She found heat in his gaze.
Interest.
Something unknown.
And she liked it far too much.
Not that she understood that, either. She didn’t know anything about this man.
“Are you like them?” she dared to ask.
Corrado’s tongue snaked out to wet the edge of his bottom lip. “Like them, how?”
“Mafia. Made.”
“No.”
“I don’t know if I believe that.”
He felt like them, in a way. Dangerous, and dark. Like he held secrets in his eyes, and in his heart. He didn’t feel average, and God knew she had met enough average men over her lifetime to know it.
No, he felt like something else.
“I’m not like them,” he said, “but I am a little worse.”
She hesitated to ask more.
What did that mean?
Corrado seemed to take her hesitation as a chance to break their moment. Whatever in the hell that had been … that touch, the heat, that fucking feeling. She didn’t know what that was, and while she might like it, it also terrified her.
Because she didn’t know him.
And she still didn’t know if she could trust him.
He placed the phone back on the charger. As fast as he was touching her, he was gone.
It didn’t matter.
He still lingered.
She felt it.
Everywhere.
What in the hell was that?
Corrado cleared his throat, and wouldn’t meet her gaze. She wondered if he felt that, too? God knew he didn’t say much to her. For the most part, he’d spent the last week avoiding her as much as was possible when they were alone together in the penthouse.
“Would you like me to cook you breakfast?” he asked, a thickness roughening up his tone as he reached for the cupboard beside her.
Ginevra was back to feeling like she couldn’t speak, so instead, she whispered, “Sure.”
“And you can tell me about your sisters,” he was quick to add, shooting her a smile, “maybe then you won’t feel like you need to talk to them, if you’re talking about them.”
“You want to know about my little sisters?”
Corrado shrugged. “Why not?”
Well, okay.

Like he said, why not?

Kupas Tuntas Hukum Shalat Berjama'ah di Masjid

            Semenjak kecil, kita sudah tahu bahwa shalat berjama’ah di masjid adalah salah satu bentuk ibadah yang sangat ditekankan oleh Islam melalui dakwah Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam. Banyak ummat Islam yang mengerjakan shalat berjama’ah karena ingin mendapatkan pahala dan semangat besar untuk beramal shalih. Memburu pahala dan menginginkan ridhaNya sekaligus mempererat tali ukhuwah Islamiya menjadi salah satu faktor terbesar untuk shalat berjama’ah di masjid Tetapi ternyata banyak yang masih belum tau bagaimana sebenarnya hukum dari shalat berjama’ah itu sendiri. Bagaimana sebenarnya para ulama menjelaskan mengenai hukum shalat berjama’ah di masjid, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan. Ustad A bilang itu wajib, kalau gak jama’ah di masjid gak sah shalatnya, Kiai B bilang itu sunnah saja. Jadi, mana yang benar?             Khilaf di Antara Para Ulama   ...

Kupas Tuntas: Adakah Bid'ah Hasanah?

“Betapa banyak orang yang menginginkan kebaikan, namun tidak mendapatkannya” - HR. Ad Darimi , atsar Abdullah bin Mas’ud- Oleh: Ustadz Syariful Mahya Lubis, Lc.* Sejumlah jawaban direkayasa, sejumlah dalilpun dipaksakan, demi melegalkan bid’ah, dan demi memberanikan orang melakukannya. Pertanyaan tersebut terkait langsung dengan Islam, yang oleh karenanya membutuhkan jawaban yang merujuk kepada Al Qur’an dan Hadits sebagai sumber kebenaran dalam Islam, jawaban-jawaban yang hanya bersifat logika, tidak akan dapat menguak kebenaran dalam permasalahan Islam. Sebab selogis apapun sebuah jawaban tetap saja ia spekulasi relatif, yang sudah pasti dapat dipatahkan dengan hal yang sama, lebih-lebih apabila jawaban-jawaban logis tadi kontaradiktif dengan dalil-dalil yang syar’i. Definisi Nabi ï·º bersabda, “ Siapapun yang melakukan amal yang tidak kami perintahkan , maka amal tersebut tertolak (tidak diterima)” ( HR. Bukhari dan Muslim , dari ‘Aisyah) . Beliau juga bersabda, “ Setiap (ibadah) y...

Lebaran Ikut Siapa?

Permasalahan ini sering muncul dari berbagai pihak ketika menghadapi hari Arofah. Ketika para jama’ah haji sudah wukuf tanggal 9 Dzulhijah di Saudi Arabia, padahal di Indonesia masih tanggal 8 Dzulhijah, mana yang harus diikuti dalam puasa Arofah? Apakah ikut waktu jama’ah haji wukuf atau ikut penanggalan Hijriyah di negeri ini sehingga puasa Arofah tidak bertepatan dengan wukuf di Arofah? Syaikh Muhammad bin Shalih ‘Utsaimin pernah diajukan pertanyaan: Kami khususnya dalam puasa Ramadhan mubarok dan puasa hari Arofah, di antara saudara-saudara kami di sini terpecah menjadi tiga pendapat. Pendapat pertama : kami berpuasa bersama Saudi Arabia dan juga berhari Raya bersama Saudi Arabia. Pendapat kedua : kami berpuasa bersama negeri kami tinggal dan juga berhari raya bersama negeri kami.    Pendapat ketiga : kami berpuasa Ramadhan bersama negeri kami tinggal, namun untuk puasa Arofah kami mengikuti Saudi Arabia. Kami mengharapkan jawaban yang memuaskan mengenai puasa bulan Ram...
