Well, now I am in Jakarta Selatan, I live so far away from my family. I am a person who comes from Banten Province, Tangerang Regency, Sepatan district, and certainly gempol Sari village. I am 20 years old. Who am I?
My name is Jajang Fauzan Muhafidh which is the name that I have been receiving since I was born until now and forever. Jajang Fauzan MUhafidh is the name that always becomes a big question in my deepest heart. A proverb says that “what the meaning is of the name?” Based on my religion, Islam “the name is a pray” and also “who else know himself, so he or she has known his God”. (Al-hadist)
I feel so surprised when I know that the person who gave my name was not my father. Who is he? And How come does he do so? Actually, when I was child my father often gave me know about him. My father always told me about him and the historical of my name. Could you please imagine that? I do feel curious in my deepest heart even until now. I never know about his face and his physically body but I can know his greatest characteristics, his behaviors, and his attitudes from my father. He is my father’s teacher. In Islam, it is usually called by Ustadz. Her name is Ustadz Abdul Jalil. He is the diligent, smart, kindly, and friendly person. My father always tells everything about him. My father is a religious man. When I was born, the persons who come to my father’s house are religious people, my father’s teacher, head of the village, and all of the old man. Those are the persons who are closest with my father. So that was why, at that time my father’s house was very full of the people.
Ustadz Abdul Jalil came from Ciamis, exactly in Cihideng region. That is why I feel so impressed with the persons who come from Ciamis. It is due to the tight relationship with my life. Those events happened when my family’s house was still in Cipondoh, Tangerang City but now, my family and I live in Tangerang regency. At that time, there was a total penggusuran in Cipondoh Tangerang. Mr. Ustz. Abdul Jalil also came back to his home town in Ciamis. Oh my God, please let me meet to him…
Mr. Ustz. Abdul Jalil initially was named me by “Fauzan Muhafidh”. He thought that there was a difficulty in calling my name, so that he added “Jajang” in front of the name as a sign of sundanese people and based on what my father said that the meaning of my name is “the sweet boy who represents Sudanese tribe who is memorizer of Al-Qur’an and gets happily”. I have ever found my name “fauzan” in Al-Qur’an but I forgot where it is located exactly.
I do believe on the meaning of my name based on my father said. I do believe that there are my father’s hope and wish in my name. I do believe that this is the greatest name for me and it is a mercy. My name is very beautiful “Jajang Fauzan Muhafidh”, isn’t it? May be for everyone else views my nick name “Jajang” as an old af the date name, villager, and whatever they said, I do not care. Well, I have ever felt shy, when I wanted to introduce my name, due to my nick name” jajang”, and my child friends in village always insulted and bullied me. But, time by the time, sooner or later, I had been realizing since childhood that I am proud of my name so much. My mercy and beautiful name is “Jajang Fauzan Muhafidh” now, and forever.
I think my name is appropriate so much for me due to the fact of my life. My name is my solid identity. Whenever I am, I always remember my name. So that, it can support me and give me spirit of life. Again, I can reflect through my name and my father’s hope through my name in order to I can have good behavior and attitude. What my father wants to through my name it comes true. I do not want to change my name because I really like my name. Thank you so much Ibu, Bapak, Allah SWT, Bapak Ustz. Abdul jalil and my families.
