Indeed hidayah is special. It is expensive and valuable. Status and social status are not a measure of getting it. Wealth is not a means to get it. Sometimes, he comes at an unexpected moment. He comes at a time when the caller may be desperate. He came, sometimes at the time of disaster. And it comes when hostility has reached its peak.
Like the story of George Todzira. Hidayah comes to him just when he is ready for battle.
George bin Todzira was the commander of the Byzantine army. In the War of Yarmuk, he led the forces of Rome, fighting against Muslims led by Khalid ibn al-Walid radhiallahu 'anhu. Before the outbreak of battle, an interesting event occurred. George had a dialogue with Khalid until he embraced Islam and moved into the Muslim army.
Under such conditions, imagine what the Byzantine Roman felt at the time? Of course their fighting morale is shocked and loosened. And of course, George was the first person they wanted to kill.
When the troops were meeting, George called the Sword of Allah, Khalid bin al-Walid. Khalid was out of the army, and Abu Ubaidah replaced his position. Amid thousands of troops, the two warlords stood face to face. Until their neck mounts are interlocked.
George said, "O Khalid, answer my question honestly. Do not lie, because the free man does not deserve to lie. Nor do you deceive me, for a glorious man will not deceive ". George went on, "Did Allah take the sword from heaven to your Prophet, then he gave it to you? Then does not the sword encounter a people, unless he overcame him?
"No," answered Khalid tersely.
"Then why are you called a saifullah (Sword of God)?" Asked George who really wanted an answer.
Khalid replied, "Verily, Allah ﷻ sent His prophets into our midst. He preaches us, but we all run away ignore it. Then some of us there who justify his da'wah and follow it. Others have avoided and denied it. I am among those who stay away from, deny, and fight against it. After that, Allah gave us guidance. We followed his teachings as well. He said to me, 'You are the sword among the swords of God which he has made to the idolaters. He prayed for me with victory. Then melaqobiku with saifullah. From there, I became the most loudly enmity against the idolaters ".
"You have been honest with me", George responded to Khalid's explanation.
Then he again asked Khalid, "O Khalid, tell me, do you cry to me?"
"To the testimony that there is no god to be worshiped unless Allah and Muhammad are His servants and Messengers. And believe that what is in it (revelation) is from Allah's side "Khalid explained the Islamic message to George.
"If people do not accept your appeal?" Asked George.
"Jizyah guarantees them", replied Khliad.
"What if they do not want to hand it over (jizyah)? asked George.
"We fight them," replied Khalid
"How are the people who receive your appeal?" Asked George.
"Our position is equal (equal) in the duties God has commanded us. Neither a noble person nor an ordinary person. Both the beginning (embracing Islam) and the last one ", answered Khalid.
George again asked the question, "Is it the person who today embraces Islam -Gal Khalid-sama's reward and reward?"
"Yes, even more so," replied Khalid.
Marvelously, George asked, "How can he be like you, when you first converted to Islam?"
"We embraced Islam and pledged to our prophet, when we met him. Come to him the tidings of the books, then he shows us signs. People who see what we see and hear what we hear justify it, Islam, and bind it. As for you, you have never encountered what we met. Never heard what we have heard in the form of miracles and hujjah. If you embrace Islam sincerely and truthfully. Sure better than us. "Answer Khalid tried to unravel the confusion of George.
"By God, you're telling the truth, not cheating me, and not pretending to me?" Asked George, trying to get a definite answer.
Khalid said, "By Allah, I have been honest with you. I have nothing to do with you or any of you. Verily, Allah bears witness to what you ask me. "
George said, "You have been honest with me." At that time, George who is still in preparation for war began to melt when he heard explanations and calls Khalid bin al-Walid radhiallahu 'anhu. Her heart trembles and tends to Khalid. Then, in the middle of the battlefield and in a position ready for battle, George uttered a shocking saying, "Teach me about Islam", he pleaded.
Then Khalid took him to his tent. Providing water for him to wash. Then George performed the two rak'ah prayers. George has embraced Islam. Khalid bin al-Walid and the Companions of the Prophet set an example that going to war is not merely to kill people. But the main purpose is to give guidance. This is the difference between the path of the friends and the people involved in the acts of terrorism. Their purpose is to kill, not to give guidance.
Out of the Byzantines with mounting enmity and leading the army to fight against Islam and the Muslims, it was then that Haraya came to him. Therefore, let us not despair. As Khalid was still expecting the head of the army to kill and fight it.
George turned the position. He stood beside Khalid to fight the Byzantine forces. In the war he suffered severe injuries and met his martyrs in the Yarmuk field. After Islam, he performed only one prayer, and prostrated himself in two rak'ahs. Then he died in the field of jihad.
It is true that what Khalid said, could be a new convert to Islam and a bit more charity superior to people born as a Muslim. George only performed one prayer in his life, but he got the glory of jihad in the way of Allah. Pick up death as a martyr, God willing.
