Introduction
Ustazah Basikal Jilid 3 continues the extraordinary journey of Ahmad Isa and his wife, Adilah, as they cycle from Malaysia toward the holy city of Makkah. This volume highlights their experiences in three countries—China, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan—filled with moments of hardship, spiritual awakening, and magnificent lessons about faith and marriage.
More than a travel memoir, this book shows how a couple strengthens their faith together while navigating freezing temperatures, language barriers, and the unpredictability of life on the road.
A Journey That Strengthens the Heart
The Quiet Strength of a Patient Husband
Ahmad’s patience is one of the most beautiful aspects of this story. Through moments of fear and uncertainty, he continues to support Adilah with gentleness and stability. His leadership is rooted not in authority, but in love, emotional intelligence, and calm decision-making.
Respect and Trust: The Role of a Strong Wife
Adilah’s respect toward her husband’s decisions shines throughout the journey. Even when the situation becomes tense, she continues to trust Ahmad’s judgment. Her willingness to follow his lead becomes a source of harmony and strength.
Cycling Through Winter: A Test of Physical and Emotional Perseverance
Their journey during winter amplifies every challenge. Freezing temperatures, slippery paths, snowstorms, and limited visibility test their endurance daily. Yet these struggles push them to deepen their reliance on Allah and on each other.
Lessons on Divine Provision and Tawakkal
Adilah’s Unshakeable Trust in Allah
One of the most powerful elements added in this volume is Adilah’s total dependence on Allah. Throughout the journey, whenever they faced moments of fear, hunger, or uncertainty, Adilah would recite heartfelt prayers and duas.
The book repeatedly shows that:
- When she prayed during difficult situations
- When she whispered doa seeking protection
- When she begged Allah for help with sincerity
…unexpected assistance would appear almost instantly.
This illustrates a deep spiritual truth:
When the servant turns to Allah wholeheartedly, help arrives from directions never imagined.
Unexpected Rizq Appearing at the Perfect Moment
Because of their unwavering tawakkal, Allah provided them with sustenance in miraculous ways:
- Strangers offering warm meals
- Locals inviting them to stay in their homes
- People stopping their cars just to help
- Guidance appearing at the exact moment they felt lost
These moments are beautifully captured in the book, showing how Allah’s mercy surrounds those who rely on Him. Adilah’s dua plays a central role in these blessings, demonstrating that prayer is a form of rizq, and tawakkal is a path to miracles.
Language Barriers and the Power of Universal Understanding
Traveling through countries where Malay and English are rarely spoken, they often faced communication challenges. But they soon realized that kindness, body language, and sincerity are universal forms of communication.
Through gestures and simple actions, they connected with people despite not sharing a common language.
Marriage as a Sanctuary: The Beauty of Understanding Each Other
Ahmad’s deep understanding of Adilah’s emotional rhythm makes him an inspiring partner. Even in difficult moments:
- he never raised his voice
- he never pressured her
- he adjusted his pace to match hers
- he made sure she always felt safe
This shows that true strength in marriage lies in understanding, not dominance. Adilah’s dua and spiritual strength complement Ahmad’s patience, making their relationship feel balanced and blessed.
The Essence of Tawakkal in Everyday Life
The greatest lesson from Ustazah Basikal Jilid 3 is that tawakkal is not just a concept—it is a lifestyle. Throughout their journey, the couple shows how trust in Allah must permeate every decision, from choosing a route to facing hunger and danger.
The book teaches that tawakkal is not about being passive—it is about giving your best effort and then surrendering the outcome to Allah, believing wholeheartedly that He knows what we do not.
Conclusion
Ustazah Basikal Jilid 3 is a powerful narrative of faith, marriage, hardship, and divine help. It teaches readers the beauty of patience, the strength of dua, and the certainty that Allah never abandons His servants.
This book is deeply inspiring for:
- readers who love spiritual journeys
- couples seeking lessons on marriage
- those wanting to understand tawakkal
- anyone who needs encouragement to rely on Allah
It is a journey that moves the heart and awakens the soul.
