Ridwan Kamaluddin, is my mother's colledge student in Padjadjaran University that is familiar called Urid. He is in fact a football fan that admire Ronaldo. In his Junoir High he wanted to make a band. But it changed 180 degree in Senior High School. He was borned in Garut, January 26th 1996 as the third child of four children, but unfortunately all his big brothers died when they was young, and this made him to be his parent's 'favorite boy'. I think because of that too, he then became a Hafidz, or in other words 'someone who has memorized 30 juz from Al Quran', because who can memorize 30 juz can insyaa Allah give their parents a crown in paradise, in the afterlife.

But yeah, there are many hafidz in this world, but there is something that make this Arabic colledge student more special than others: He saw Rasulullah ﷺ in his dreams!! Masya Allah:')
So, once upon a time, when Ridwan was still a senoirhigh scool student in SMKIT Daarul Abror, he contracted Thypus wich made him less energic and unwell. Because of that, he stopped to memorize the Quran, even if there were just 5 juz remaining. One day, he felt so very unhealthy that he thought it was his last day living in this world. When he fell asleep, he dreamt about a war, where he was a soldier. Among the troops, there was a handsome man that he never saw before. The man looked very manly and perfect on his horse. Then, a troop called that man "Ya Rasulullah ﷺ" Ridwan that heared that wanted to call Rasulullah ﷺ, but he can't speak all of sudden. "Ya Ridwan" A voice from the man infront Ridwan resusticate him "Irji' ilaa baitika wastamir hifzak" Go back home and continue your memorizing. After that, he tried to memorize again. When he finished his last ayat, he then recover from his illness. He wasn't the first hafidz in his school, he was the fifth actually.
Just by dreaming Rasulullah ﷺ is a guarantee someone can enter the paradise insya Allah. But Ridwan wanted to do more kindness especially for the people around him. His dreams are to be an Ulama or a theologian and he wanted to pilgrimage all the resident in his village, a unique goal, hah? hehe. Oh yeah, he wanted to take a schoolarship to middle east too, pray for him, okay?:)
What made me shame of myself is the only regret he got is that he didn't memorize from the beginning. He memorized 30 juz just in 3 years. All humans got 24 hours in a day right? Why can't we do the same thing like he did? He said to me that the key to fast memorizing is Ikhlas (motive just for Allah) and not to be lazy (And I am very lazy guyss). 'Fastabiqul Khairat' or 'competing each other in goodness'. Pray for me that I'll finished 30 juz when I graduate Senior High School:) Aamiin:'))
