Ninety Days In March...!
Chapter 32
Muftiah Finds Out... In Canada... That There Are Other SUBUD Wives... Besides Herself... Who Have Great Difficulty... In Cooking For Their Husbands...!
As a matter of fact... Muftiah recalls... meeting quite a few SUBUD Ladies... for the first time... in Vancouver... Canada... during her beloved Bapak's World Tour visit... in 1980... at a cozy get-together...
There they all were... sitting around... in the spacious Leisure Room... feeling serene... and quiet... smiling at each other... warmly... and feeling their Inner Bond... with each other... Christians... Jews... and Muslims... etc... alike... after worshipping their Creator... all together... in the Latihan Kejiwaan of SUBUD... when Muftiah surprised herself... by suddenly Blurting Out...:
"Do any of you lovely ladies have difficulty... in cooking for your husbands...?"
Instantly... the atmosphere in the large room... became charged... and an avalanche of affirmative responses... came pouring out...!
To her delight... on the one hand... and feeling sympathy for them... on the other hand... for the very first time... she listened... in awe... as story after story was told... of frustrating episodes... where newly married wives... who had had no trouble... whatsoever... in the kitchen... before... now found themselves... unable to cook... satisfactorily... for their SUBUD husbands... their experiences... and situations... very similar to hers...!
And after she heard all their sad stories... she found herself... sharing with them... her original Guidance... in Hawaii... that she was not to cook for her husband anymore...!
Wondering to them... whether Bapak's recent Revelation... while testing her Spiritual Progress... explaining to his SUBUD children... that the reason why Muftiah... was all bent over... and tired... and prematurely old... which they had all witnessed... was because she had been forced to cook... at one time... for many people...!
Perhaps there are other SUBUD couples out there... whose wives are plagued with similar... puzzling... embarrassing problems... in the kitchen department... and reading about Muftiah's unique Experiences... and Bapak's fascinating Revelation... in that husband concerned... battle arena... might help them - Insha Allah.... God Willing...
Chapter 32-A (should be 33-A)
Muftiah's Cooking Dilemma... Is Finally Explained Away... And It Is To Farlan... That The Divine Revelation... Is Given...!
It would be quite a few years later... when the whole puzzling... cooking dilemma... for Muftiah... which had lasted... a good twelve years... altogether... would finally be Explained away... and it was to Farlan... that it would be Revealed to...!
One night... as he was preparing dinner... for his Stroke bed-ridden wife... Muftiah... in their apartment... in Daly City... near San Francisco... idly wondering... after about five years... whether she would ever be able... to get out of her sickbed again... ever cook another meal for him... now that he finally... no longer expected her to... he suddenly... out of the blue... Received the following Revelation...:
"The True Purpose... Of Your SUBUD Marriage... To Muftiah... The Reality Of It... Is Solely For Spiritual Reasons... And Never Included... Her Having A Wifely Duty... To Cook For You...!
